2006 Honda Accord Complaint Log

MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IS ALREADY DEPLOYED. WHEN I CALLED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE THE PASSENGER SIDE, I ASKED IF THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD ALSO BE DONE. THE REP SAID THAT IT WOULD. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME $250.00 TO HAVE IT DONE. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS. THE DATE OF 05/01/2015 IS A GUESS.

I STARTED THE CAR AND RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS NOT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE REPAIRED IT FOR ME AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $400.00(TO THE BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V351000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THERE WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A TIME FRAME FOR THE PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF 35 MPH IN LOW TRAFFIC WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP AND MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON AND STEERING BECAME REALLY TIGHT. I DRIFTED TO A STOP AND SWITCHED THE CAR OFF THEN ON. IT RESTARTED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE LIGHT THEN WENT OFF. TWO WEEKS BEFORE THIS THE CAR CUT OFF AS I WAS BACKING OUT MY DRIVEWAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO TIRES PLUS THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE A COMPUTER ERROR. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS. ITS SEEMS AS IF THE CAR IS DESIGN TO CUT OFF AS TO ALERT ME SOMETHING IS WRONG; HOWEVER, THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF IT CUT OFF BEFORE IT IS PUT IN GEAR. ONCE I START MOVING THIS PUTS ME IN GREAT DANGER OF BEING RAN OVER AND KILLED. THE OUT COME OF THIS DESIGN COULD BE FATAL FOR ME AND MANY MORE EXPERIENCING THIS. WALSH HONDA OF MACON, GA ALSO FOUND THE CODES TO BE ERRONEOUS. *TR

TOLD BY DEALER THAT FRONT CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS WERE TORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT $550.00. RESEARCHING ON INTERNET HAS REVEALED THAT THERE IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH "COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS" ON THESE CARS. CONTACTED HONDA CASE #[XXX]. THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. I BELIEVE THEY ARE IGNORING A PROBLEM THAT COULD AFFECT STEERING AND THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT.

I HAVE BEEN IN AND REPLACED MY AIRBAG SENSORS 3 TIMES WITH THE RECALL. AFTER THE 2ND OR 3RD TIME I WAS IN FOR THE RECALL THE LINING OF THE ROOF OF MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY FALLEN IN AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SEE OUT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THE ROOF OF MY CAR AS IT LOOKS NOW. I SHOULD HAVE VIDEO OF THE TRANSITION OF EVENTS BUT I THINK MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE HAS CRASHED COMPLETELY. I HAVE BEEN IN TO HONDA OF CONCORD IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE THEY HAVE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS FAR AS REPAIRING IT FOR FREE AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. WHY HAS NO ONE LOOKED AT A COMPUTER GLITCH AS THE CULPRIT FOR THE AIRBAG SENSORS AUTOMATICALLY RELEASING AIR? SOMETHING HAS TO TRIGGER THE SENSOR TO START SLOWLY RELEASING AIR, AS I WAS TOLD AT HONDA OF SOUTH HILL, VIRGINIA WHERE I ORIGINALLY HAD MY SENSORS REPLACED FOR THE RECALL.

IN JANUARY, THREE WEEKS AFTER DRIVING 1000 MILES TO FLORIDA THE ENGINE STARTED TO MISS AND WITH IN A MILE I COULD NOT GO 10 MILES A HOUR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE FORT MYERS, FLORIDA HONDA DEALER. I WAS TOLD ONE OF THE REAR SPARK PLUGS WAS LOOSE AND THE BLOW-BY OVER-HEATED THE SPARK PLUG CAUSING THE INSIDE OF THE PLUG TO COME LOOSE FALL INSIDE THE HEAD THUS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE COIL MOUNTED TO THE SPARK PLUG WAS CHARRED INDICATING VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE FROM THE BLOW-BY. THE PLUG WAS LOOSE IN THE SOCKET INDICATING IT WAS NOT TIGHTEN SECURELY. THE TOP OF THE PLUG IS STILL IN-PLACE ON THE SPARK PLUG. I HAVE THE PARTS. THE ENGINE HAD THE FLUIDS CHECK AND OIL CHANGED EVERY 4000 MILES AND NORMAL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. I DO MOST OF MY OWN MAINTENANCE AND HAD NO REASON TO CHECK THE SPARK PLUGS. I KEEP TRACK OF GASOLINE USAGE AND THE CAR HAD NO CHANGE IN GAS CONSUMPTION, AN INDICATION OF BAD SPARKPLUGS. OVER ALL USAGE OF 22 M/G. THE SUGGESTION OF THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS THAT THE LEASE EXPENSIVE WAY TO GET BACK TO MY HOME IN OHIO WAS TO HAVE A USED ENGINE INSTALLED. IT TOOK OVER A WEEK. I NOW HAVE ALMOST $5000 MORE INVESTED IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF FAULTY MANUFACTURING. *TR

DEAR SIR OR MADAM, THE AIR BAGS (DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE) DEPLOYED ON MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD AT LESS THAN 10MPH WITH MY SEAT BELTS ON RESULTING IN SCRATCHES ON MY LEFT FRONT BUMPER (NO OTHER VISIBLE HARD IMPACT DAMAGE). THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE PERFORMING A SLOW TURN INTO A PARKING LOT SPOT. I HAD CONTACTED BOTH HONDA USA AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP EXPRESSING MY CONCERN THAT ONCE REPAIRED, THE AIR BAGS COULD AGAIN UNINTENTIONAL DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. HONDA USA ASKED ME TO TAKE CAR TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND EVALUATION. I BROUGHT MY CAR AT HONDA DEALER BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT EQUIPPED WITH SKILL AND TOOLS TO INSPECT AND EVALUATE AND STATED THAT I SHOULD GO TO A THIRD PARTY COLLISION SHOP. I CONTACTED HONDA USA AGAIN AND THEY ASKED ME TO GO TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO DETERMINE IF A DEFECT IS PRESENT. I BELIEVE THOSE ARE UNACCEPTABLE AND SURPRISING SUGGESTIONS. IT IS MY BELIEVE THAT HONDA HAS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE AIR BAG SENSOR AND DOES NOT WISH TO INVESTIGATE AND/OR ACKNOWLEDGE CULPABILITY IN A DEFECTIVE SAFETY COMPONENT. REQUESTING TO ADVISE ME ON HOW SHOULD I PROCEED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VSA LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN STEPPED ON GAS PEDAL NO RESPONSE, NO POWER, AND COULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. TOOK CAR TO MY REPAIR SHOP, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS A GLITCH IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR. ONCE THEY CLEARED THE CODE FROM THE COMPUTER THE CAR RAN FINE, THEY TOLD ME IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. *TR

MY 2006 ACCORD ALONG WITH 500,000+ OTHERS AND 52,000+ ACURA TLS HAD A RECALL REGARDING THE POWER STEERING HOSE. I WANT TO MENTION I HAVE OWNED 20 SOME CARS OVER THE YEARS, MANY WITH 200,000 MILES OR MORE. SO, IN JUNE I TOOK MY ACCORD IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED MY POWER STEERING FELT A LITTLE OFF...SO, TURNS OUT HONDA STATED MY POWER STEERING PUMP WAS FAILING AND REPLACED IT. AND, THERE WAS NO ASSOCIATION WITH THE POWER STEERING HOSE RECALL, SO EXPENSE WAS ALL ON ME. NOW, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EXACTLY 1 POWER STEERING PUMP IN MY LIFE AND IT WAS ODDLY ON THE ONLY CAR THAT EVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH A POWER STEERING HOSE...COINCIDENCE? I DO FIND THIS TROUBLESOME FOR 2 REASONS, 1) POWER STEERING WORKS OFF PRESSURE AND IF A HOSE IS FAULTY THAT WOULD IMPACT THE PRESSURE AND THUS POTENTIALLY CAUSE PUMPS TO OVERWORK,ETC AND 2) SINCE THE HOSE WAS RECALLED, WAS THE IDENTIFICATION OF A FAILED PUMP A COST RECOVERY DISCOVERY? I ASK THIS SECOND ONE BECAUSE MY POWER STEERING FELT WORSE AFTER REPLACEMENT AND TURNED OUT I JUST NEEDED MY TIRES ROTATED. I DID WRITE TO HONDA BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE. THE PURPOSE HERE HOWEVER IS CIVIC DUTY IN NATURE AND I FELT IT WORTH ASKING THE QUESTION, HOW MANY OF THE 550,000+ RECALLS FOR POWER STEERING HOSES HAVE ALSO RESULTED IN POWER STEERING REPLACEMENTS? *TR

2006 HONDA ACCORD SE 4CYL AUTOMATIC TRANS. TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON HIGHWAY. ENTERING HIGHWAY AND MERGING INTO HIGH-SPEED TRAFFIC, AND TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAD NO FORWARD POWER (HOWEVER ENGINE WAS RUNNING FINE).

2006 HONDA ACCORD DRIVER SHOULDER SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT OR EXTEND. ON MAY 19, 2014 GOT INTO MY HONDA ACCORD AND COULD NOT GET MY DRIVERS SEAT BELT TO WORK. HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE THIS FAULTY SEAT BELT UNDER THE SEAT BELT WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS MALFUNCTION WAS NOT CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT, COLLISION OR MISUSE. HONDA IS NOT CONCERNED WITH SAFETY. SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES AND IN LOUISIANA WEARING A SEAT BELT IS THE LAW, BUT ACCORDING THE HONDA OF COVINGTON AND THE HONDA HEADQUARTERS THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO REPLACE A FAULTY SEAT BELT. *TR

AFTER LEAVING MY SON'S TRACK MEET, THE A/C BEGAN BLOWING WARM AIR. MY HUSBAND WENT AND BOUGHT REFRIGERANT, AND AS HE WAS PUTTING IT IN, MIST/SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE A/C CONDENSER. APPARENTLY A PEBBLE HIT THE CONDENSER WHICH NOW HAS A PIN HOLE IN IT. HONDA DOESN'T COVER IT AND IT'S EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. THERE'S TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THERE NOT TO BE A RECALL ON IT. *TR

I recently learned of the NHTSA's complaint section and is the reason in the delay in reporting this incident: Front Driveshaft Breakage/Failure On May 1, 2014, the Front Left Driveshaft/CV Axle Broke on my 2006 Honda Accord EX V6 4-Door. This vehicle had 177,694 miles at the time of incident. The car was stopped at an intersection waiting to make a left-hand turn. After the traffic light turned green, the car just started rolling when the driveshaft snapped/broke. On May 2, 2014, this vehicle was towed, and my Auto Technician was stunned to see the axle/driveshaft had broken. He stated that driveshafts are, typically, made of hardened steel and should never break. He also mentioned that if this break would’ve occurred at expressway speeds (the majority of my driving is at expressway speeds), this would’ve been catastrophic. Clearly, this is a Major Safety Issue. This vehicle is still in service and currently has 315,000 miles. At the current mileage, I am quite concerned that the Replacement Honda Driveshaft (Front Left) and the Original Front Right Driveshaft may also break; quite possibly, at high speeds. A search of the various Honda Forums reveals that this breakage/failure is a common problem with Honda Driveshafts. Recently, Honda recalled some vehicles for this Driveshaft Breakage Problem. My vehicle was not included in the recall.

WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A POWER STEERING HOSE RECALL THE DEALER FOUND TWO BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. MY HONDA ACCORD LX HAS BEEN MAKING A THUMPING NOISE ON ACCELERATION. ITS POSSIBLE THAT LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID HAS CAUSED THE DETERIORATION OF THE RUBBER IN THE MOUNTS. THE DEALER SERVICE REP SAYS THERE ARE 3 MOTOR MOUNTS ON THIS ENGINE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN HARD SINCE NEW. WITH 2 OF 3 MOUNTS BROKEN AT 66, 800 MILES IS A MATTER FOR CONCERN. THE 3RD MOUNT BREAKING WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO TWIST AND POSSIBLY START A FIRE OR TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE AXLES TO LOCK UP CAUSING A CRASH. OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS ON-LINE. *TR
