2006 Honda Accord Complaint Log

POWER STEERING HOSE LEAKS FOR HONDA ACCORD 2006 SEDAN EX, V6. HOSES ARE MOIST AND OILY WET. THE STEERING WHEELS CONTINUES TO SQUEAKS WHEN TURNING. THE FLUID LEVEL IS LOW EVEN AFTER REFILL UP TO FULL MAX FILL LINE. HONDA DEALER INSPECTED AND SAID THEY REPLACED HOSES IN APRIL 2013 AFTER RECALLS WERE ISSUED FOR POWER STEERING HOSE LEAKS/DETERIORATION. NOW IT IS APRIL 2017, AGAIN IS THIS A RECURRING ISSUE/CONCERN FOR HONDA ACCORD V6 AUTOMOBILES?

THERE IS AIRBAGS ISSUES BUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX THEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD AND KNEE INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A HOLDING YARD AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER ONLY PUTTING 77,300 MILES ON THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000. UPDATED 12/21/16.*JB UPDATED 01/31/17*LJ UPDATED 02/02/17.*JB

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V370000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AIR BAG RECALL, A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO SAME DEALER THAT HAD REPLACED AIR BAG AND NOW I'M TOLD THAT THE SRS UNIT HAS GONE BAD AND NO SAFETY FEATURES (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS) WILL WORK IF I AM IN A CRASH. I CAN PAY OVER $730 TO FIX THIS UNIT. ADDITIONALLY, I AM ASKED WHEN MY BATTERY HAD DIED- WHICH IT HASN'T DIED. HOWEVER, THE ONLY TIME IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WHEN MY BATTERY WAS TOUCHED WAS WHEN THEY DISCONNECTED IT TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS RECALLED AIR BAG. THEN I'M TOLD THAT THIS MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY FROM HONDA AND WAS IN NO WAY CONNECTED OR EFFECTED BY THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT THEY DID A FEW MONTHS PRIOR. I FIND THIS INCREDIBLY SUSPECT AND HAVE NOTICED OTHERS POSTING THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT REPLACED AIRBAGS AND SRS UNIT REPLACEMENTS. SO, EVEN AFTER THIS RECALL, I HAVE A CAR THAT ISN'T SAFE AND I FEEL THAT THIS NEW ISSUE IS A RESULT OF THE EARLIER WORK WITH THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS RELATIONSHIP TO SEE IF RECALL REPLACEMENT UNITS OR PROCEDURES ARE CAUSING THIS SRS UNIT TO MALFUNCTION. WE'RE HAVING TO PAY ALMOST $1000 TO FIX THIS AND I DON'T FEEL THAT WE'D BE IN THIS PREDICAMENT WITHOUT SOME FAULT OF HONDA OR THE TECHNICIANS AT MY LOCAL DEALER.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA IS NOT WILLING TO RECALL THE TAKATA AIRBAGS AND TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS IN MY CAR, ALTHOUGH HONDA DID RECALL THE ABOVE PARTS ON THE CLOSEST VEHICLES, - HONDA ACCORD COUPE 2006 WITH A 4-CYLINDER ENGINE. I NEED TO KNOW HOW AND WHY MY VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED SAFER THAN THE OTHER 2006 ACCORDS. THIS WAS THE EXPLANATION THAT I GOT WHEN I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 800 999-1009. SHE WASN'T ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS INTO THE PROCESS, NOR DID SHE HAVE ANOTHER NUMBER FOR ME TO CALL.

STEERING: ON FRIDAY JULY 1, 2016, MY HONDA ACCORD V4 BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE AS I BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. AFTER A SHORT WAIT, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT ONTO THE STREET, BUT THE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY PRONOUNCED AND I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DRIVEWAY. A CHECK OF THE FLUIDS REVEALED VERY LOW POWER STEERING FLUID, BELOW THE MINIMUM LEVEL MARK. AFTER TOPPING UP THE CHAMBER WITH NEW FLUID, THE CAR STARTED AND WAS OPERABLE WITHOUT SHAKING AND NO STEERING PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THE LEVEL IN THE CHAMBER SANK IMMEDIATELY BELOW THE MINIMUM LINE AFTER JUST A MINUTE OR TWO OF OPERATION (I BACKED A SHORT DISTANCE DOWN THE DRIVE). THERE WERE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF FRESH FLUID SPOTS ON THE DRIVE. MORE FLUID WAS ADDED AND THE CAR WAS SUCCESSFULLY DRIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP LOCATED 2 MILES FROM OUR HOME, WHERE IT IS AWAITING REPAIR. THE DEALER REPORTED THIS MORNING THAT BOTH THE HIGH PRESSURE LINE AND THE RETURN LINE WERE LEAKING. SINCE THE CAR WAS DRIVEN WITH NO PROBLEMS OR SIGNS OF LEAKS THE DAY BEFORE, AND BECAUSE THESE LEAKS APPEARED SUDDENLY, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH STEERING OR POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELS, WE BELIEVE THIS FAILURE POSES A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THERE WAS ALSO THE POTENTIAL OF AN ENGINE FIRE DUE TO THE LEAKING FLUID. THE CAR HAS REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND VERY LOW MILEAGE (<30000 MILES). THE NHTSA ISSUED A RECALL IN 2012 (12V222000) FOR 2003-2007 ACCORD V6S. BECAUSE THAT RECALL WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE LINES/HOSES, AND OUR CAR'S HOSES ALSO FAILED IN THE SAME WAY, WE BELIEVE THAT FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO OTHER ACCORD ENGINE SIZES AND VIN NUMBERS SHOULD BE CONDUCTED AND INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, AN UNKNOWN TIRE BLEW OUT AND CAUSED THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 160,000.

VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONER SUDDENLY STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. HOT AIR WOULD CONTINUE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20-30 MINUTES BEFORE THE A/C WOULD ENGAGE AND BEGIN COOLING.

WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2006 HONDA ACCORD EX-L (4CYL) AND THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY (6 MONTHS BEFORE) HAD THE AIRBAGS REPLACE UNDER THE TAKATA RECALL. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY AND FOUND OUT THAT THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILED AND HAS TO BE REPLACE AT $650.00. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE FAIL AND I AM SURPRISED THAT HONDA IS NOT COVERING THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE PASSENGER WINDOWS SUDDENLY FAILED TO OPERATE EITHER FROM THE DRIVER CONTROL 0R THE PASSENGER CONTROL. ALL FUSES AND RELAYS CHECKED OUT. I HAVE GOGGLED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT OTHER HONDA OWNERS OF OTHER MODELS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM .IT WAS CONCLUDED BY MANY THAT THE CULPRIT WAS THE MASTER CONTROL SWITCH.. SOME JURY RIGGED THE SYSTEM OTHERS PAID $500 TO REPLACE THE SWITCH. T.HE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST RECOGNIZED.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET (NOT MORE THAN 30-35MPH) AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND STOPPED. MY CAR STALLED OR DIED WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I'M NOT CLEAR IF MY CAR STALLED OR DIED COMPLETELY AS I WAS TOO BUSY TRYING TO MAKE SURE OTHER DRIVERS SAW MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND ENGINE COMPLETELY WENT QUIET OR DEAD. BOTH THE CHECK BATTERY AND OIL LIGHTS FLASHED. UPON TURNING OFF MY CAR AND RESTARTING ALL WAS FINE AND LITHE CHECK BATTERY AND OIL LIGHTS WENT OFF. THE CAR DROVE FINE AND LIGHTS HAVE NOT COME ON AGAIN SINCE.

PURCHASED 4 GOOD YEAR ASSURANCE COMFORTED TOURING FROM GOOD YEAR STORE IN CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA IN LATE 2012. EARLY IN 2016 THREE TIRES STARTED CRACKING ON THE SIDEWALL . TOOK THE CAR TO SHOP, AFTER INSPECTION THEY FOUND OUT TIRES HAS SIDEWALL CRACK PRESENT IN THE SIDEWALL. TRIED TO WORK WITH SHOP AND THEY WERE RIPPING ME OFF. LEFT THE MESSAGES FOR [XXX] AND CALLS WERE NOT RETURNED. SHOP WROTE WRONG MILEAGE ON THE INVOICES AND TELLING ME THAT WE DROVE AROUND 90K MILES. STARTED CRACKS IN SIDEWALLS AT 40K MILES. PLEASE HELP. I AM DRIVING THE CAR ON DAILY BASIS. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

SAFETY BAGS SHOWS A RED LIGHT THAT AIR BAGS ARE OFF.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I NOTICED WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON GAS IT WASN'T RESPONDING. I GOT A FEW MORE FEET DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR STOPPED. I THE TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY SHOT AT 97000 MILES . THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED VERY WELL WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID BEING CHANGED. I KNOW HONDA HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS .THIS IS THE SECOND HONDA I HAVE OWNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND AFTER THIS IT MIGHT BE THE LAST HONDA I OWN.

THE AIR CONDITIONER ISN'T COOLING ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT APPEAR TO COOL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AROUND 1230AM 12/27/15 LAST NIGHT FROM A FRIENDS HOUSE TO OUR HOME ABOUT A 5 MILE DRIVE WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WENT OFF FOR NO REASON. THE ROAD I WAS ON WAS A LOCAL ROAD. I WAS DRIVING NORMAL AND SAFELY BECAUSE IT WAS LATE AND VERY DARK AT THE TIME. IT EXPLODED TWICE. I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVER POSITION. MY WIFE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FELT A BLAST ON HER CHEST. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG NEVER WENT OFF. I FELT A BLAST AS WELL AND LUCKILY NOTHING HIT MY FACE. SMOKE FILLED THE CABIN. WE OPENED THE WINDOWS AND GOT OUT FAST. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT IT WAS PITCH BLACK WHERE WE WERE. WE WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE DECIDING WE SHOULD TRY TO DRIVE HOME...SINCE WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME, I DROVE HOME. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO PUT IN A CLAIM BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAD PREVIOUSLY WENT TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE TO GET THE AIRBAGS FIXED. I WENT ON MAY 7 2015 AND OCTOBER 13 2015. I WANTED THIS NOTED IN CASE. WE WERE SCARED. I NEVER EXPECTED THIS AIRBAG TO GO OFF FOR NO REASON B/C I HAD GONE IN TWICE FOR RECALLS. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED B/C THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PROGRESSIVE IS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME ON MONDAY FOR THE NEXT STEP.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH ON FIRESTONE, AFFINITY TIRES WITH LESS THEN 20,000 MILES ON THEM. WHILE TRAVELING ON DRY, GOOD PAVEMENT THE RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE BLOWOUT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TURN VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN A BAR DITCH. THE TIRE WAS INTACT, BUT HAD CRAWLED OFF THE RIM. TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED TWO DAYS PRIOR AND WAS WELL WITHIN PROPER LIMITS OF THE REQUIRED PSI. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AS A RESULT OF THE BLOWOUT AND CRASH..

HONDA DEALER REPLACED AN AIRBAG AND NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. DEALER SAYS I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE MY SRS SYSTEM FOR $800.00. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY HAVE DISTANCED THEMSELVES FROM THE DEALER. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE GM OF TAMPA HONDA, [XXX] AND THE SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] AND THEY BOTH SAY ONE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER. I FEEL THAT I AM A VICTIM OF DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICE BY TAMPA HONDA. I ADVISED THEM THAT I AM CURRENTLY AT RISK DRIVING THE CAR AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THEIR ATTORNEY [XXX] AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING FOR THEM TO DO. I WILL HAVE MY ATTORNEY WRITE THEM A LETTER OF DISCLOSURE THIS WEEK. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE FROM THE NHTSA. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. KEN HARVEY'S DUBLIN HONDA (6300 DUBLIN BLVD, DUBLIN, CA 94568, (925) 828-8030) STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WERE NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

PASSENGER AND BOTH BACK WINDOWS JUST STOPPED WORKING. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IN THE PUBLIC FORUMS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF HONDA ACCORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR THAT IS THE ISSUE.

I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 2 MINUTES. I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH IT. MY ENGINE ROARED, BUT DID NOT GO ANYWHERE. SO I LOOKED AROUND, AND CARS WERE UP ON ME, NEARLY REAR-ENDING ME. THEY WERE UPSET THAT I MASHED MY BRAKES, RATHER THAN DRIVING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS FOR THEM TO GO AROUND ME, AS I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IT KEPT ROLLING BACK, REVERSE, IT KEPT ROLLING AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, DRIVE, IT KEPT ROLLING. I HAD TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKES UP TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. AFTER NEARLY GETTING HIT FROM THE REAR NUMEROUS TIMES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS INTO A PARKING LOT AND PARK IT. IT TOOK ME NEARLY 3 HOURS TO FINALLY GET THE CAR TOWED HOME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN FATALITIES AS A RESULT OF THIS. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN WARNED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD OCCUR IN THIS VEHICLE. MY TRANSMISSION PUT ME DOWN. I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT I HAD GOTTEN OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. MY COMPLAINT #: 1-07-825-30. PLEASE, REMEDY THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMETHING MAJOR HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

I RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES FROM HONDA IN THE PAST YEAR AND I CONTACTED LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS FOR FIXING MY PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY WILL LET ME KNOW ONCE THEY HAVE THE PARTS. AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS I CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. THEY SAID I CAN FILE A COMPLAINT. THE DEALER I CONTACTED : GOUDY HONDA, 1400 W MAIN ST, ALHAMBRA, CA 91801

WAS INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENT, CAR LOSS CONTROL IN LEFT LANE, SPUN 720 DEGREES INTO RIGHT SHOULDER, SPUN ANOTHER 720 DEGREES, AND THEN 5 BARREL ROLLS DOWN ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER ON THE 101 STATE FREEWAY CA HEADING NORTHBOUND TO SAN FRAN BAY AREA NEAR KING CITY, CA. UPDATED 10/19/15 *BF DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. UPDATED 12/10/15. *JB

WHILE WAITING TO HAVE OUR AIRBAG RECALL DONE THE SSR LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO OFF AND ON . WE THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE AIRBAG RECALL ON THE VEHICLE . AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE , THE SSR LIGHT CONTINUE TO STAY ON . THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT HONDA SAID IT WAS THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE SEAT THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WOULD COST $290.00 TO FIX THIS. I INVESTIGATED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR THAT DID HAVE RECALLS ON THEM. THE 2006 HONDA ACCORD WAS NOT LISTED FOR A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT, FOUND MANY CUSTOMERS WITH COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. ON NHTSA REPORTS THEY HAD A ARTICLE STATING HONDA RECALLS 81,000.00 ACCORDS OVER AIRBAG SENSOR. THEY WERE RECALLING 2004-05 ACCORD SEDANS. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THIS TO 2006 VEHICLES.

AFTER A 3 MONTH WAIT BACK IN 2014, MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WAS FINALLY REPLACED ON 1/12/15 BY CORAL SPRINGS AUTOMALL HONDA'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. A MONTH AGO I GET ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE ON THE AIRBAG AND SORT OF SKIM OVER IT THINKING I JUST GOT IT REPLACED. I WAS JUST DOUBLE CHECKING THAT ALL SAFETY RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE ON THE CAR WHEN I REALIZED THAT THIS LAST RECALL WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE DEALER SHIP ONLY REPLACED THE INFLATOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE ALSO ARE IN THE SAME BOAT NOT REALIZING HONDA DID NOT BOTHER REPLACING BOTH FRONT SIDE AIR BAGS AND SEEING THIS SECOND NOTICE THAT IT WAS ALREADY FIXED. THERE ARE MANY AVENUES TO ADDRESS THIS AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE NHTSA MAKE A NEWS RELEASE ADDRESSING THIS VERY ISSUE FOR ALL CAR OWNERS - SPECIFICALLY THAT BOTH AIRBAGS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IF YOU PREVIOUSLY TOOK YOUR CAR IN, DEALERSHIPS DID NOT BOTHER TO REPLACE BOTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASE OF ENGINE RPMS. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V395000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 205,000.

THIS IS THE THIRD DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON THIS CAR THAT HAS FAILED. I KNOW THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION AGAINST HONDA FOR LATER MODEL YEAR ACTUATORS BUT IT DID NOT ENCOMPASS 2006. THE SAFETY PROBLEM IS THAT IF A PERSON WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE LOCKED CAR IN A HURRY THE ELECTRICAL LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON WOULDN'T UNLOCK THE CAR. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED TO THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, THEN IN 2009 THE RIGHT REAR FAILED AND NOW IN 2015 THE RIGHT FRONT FAILED. I THINK BECAUSE OF THE FREQUENCY OF FAILURE THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM POSSIBLY AN EXTENSION OF THE DESIGN PROBLEMS THAT LEAD TO THE LATER MODEL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURES.

PAINT CLEAR COAT FAILURE ON TRUNK THEN SPREAD AROUND CAR

IN THE LAST RECALL, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN GREER SC AS INSTRUCTED. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL, I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS ALREADY EXPELLED AND ASKED IF IT WOULD BE REPLACED. SHE ASSURED ME THAT IT WOULD. THEY LAUGHED IN MY FACE AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND DID NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAG.

BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP, BUT THERE WAS NO INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH AND WAS WAITING FOR THE APPROVAL FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO COMPLETE THE TWO AIR BAG RECALL REPAIRS. THE DRIVER WAS UNINJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I BACKUP UP IN A PARKING LOT AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE THE CAR WENT FULL THROTTLE IN REVERSE AND HIT A CEMENT STRUCTURE BEHIND ME AND KEPT HITTING IT. MY BRAKES DID NOTHING TO STOP THE REPEATED COLLISIONS SO I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND IT WENT FULL THROTTLE ACROSS THE PARKING LOT AND WAS GOING TO GO OFF A CLIFF AND YET I HAD NO BRAKES. THE ONLY CONTROL I HAD WAS STEERING. I WAS GOING WITH A FULL THROTTLE AND MANAGED TO STEER AWAY FROM THE CLIFF AND A BUILDING AND HEADED TOWARDS A CHAIN LINK FENCE TO TRY TO STOP MY TRAVEL. IT DID NOT STOP ME BECAUSE THE CAR WAS GOING SO FAST. IT WENT THROUGH THE FENCE AND THE YARD AND THEN THROUGH THE NEXT FENCE AND WAS THEN AIRBORNE BETWEEN THE TREES TILL I HIT THE GROUND AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE WHICH WAS ABOUT 15 FEET LOWER. THEN CONTINUED TO SPEED ACROSS A FIELD TILL IT GOT CAUGHT IN A DITCH. I HAD NO BRAKES DURING THE ENTIRE INCIDENT...UPDATED 08/27/15 *BF UPDATED 12/3/15 *JS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, I PRESSED MY BRAKES AND NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY. I HAD TO PUT MORE PRESSURE ON MY BRAKES THAN NORMALLY NEEDED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT I EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA ACCORD BRAKES WEAR TOO QUICKLY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE, IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.
