WHILE ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEED (65) MY CAR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FELL OUT OF GEAR AND THE ENGINE RACED TO 6K RPMS AND WAS UNABLE TO CATCH GEAR AGAIN WITH PATTING THE GAS PEDDLE. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF THE CARS BRAKE WAS ON BECAUSE THERE WAS ALMOST NO GLIDE. I WAS JUST BARELY ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND NOT BE REAR-ENDED AT HIGH SPEED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT WAS ABLE TO PROGRESS THROUGH SHIFTING BUT IS NOW UNABLE TO ADVANCE ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR DUE TO IT NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT HIGHER. IT IS ALSO FALLING OUT OF GEAR WHEN IDLING. I KEPT REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR AND CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ABOUT 15K MILES BEFORE I EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I AM BEING TOLD BY A TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT THE PROBLEM IS LIKELY WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND I WILL LIKELY N NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT THE TUNE OF ~$4000.00 NEEDLESS TO SAY I FEEL THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND PROBABLY CAUSED BY ORIGINAL PARTS BEING LOW QUALITY OR POORLY DESIGNED. *TR

I FILLED UP MY CAR AT THE HESS STATION ON ROUTE 112 IN CORAM , LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK. I PUT MY CAR , SLOWLY IN REVERSE AND THE CAR TOOK OFF LIKE IT HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPEED UP IN REVERSE- WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE - HEADING TOWARDS A VAN WITH A BABY IN IT IN A CAR SEAT. I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN FORWARD, AND WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR FLEW ACROSS THE PARKING LOT OF THE GAS STATION, CROSSED TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC, CRASHED INTO THE WOODS. I STEERED AWAY FROM A TELEPHONE POLE I WAS DEFINITELY GOING TO HIT AND, WHEN I WENT INTO THE WOODS THE AIR BAG WENT OFF AND COVERED MY FACE. I THEN WENT BACK ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC AGAIN, WITH THE AIRBAG OVER MY FACE, AND CRASHED INTO THE CURB IN FRONT OF THE HESS STATION WHEN I REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY, THE HARTFORD, I ASKED THEM TO CHECK OUT THE SPEED SENSOR- . MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHECK OUT THE SPEED SENSOR. I THEN CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOLD THEM OF THE INCIDENT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT, UNLESS THEY RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM THE HARTFORD, THEY WOULD NOT CHECK OUT THE SPEED SENSOR. I THEN CALLED THE HARTFORD AND REQUESTED THAT THEY CALL HONDA TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED BY HONDA THEMSELVES. HARTFORD TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY TO HAVE HONDA INSPECT THE VEHICLE - THEY WERE JUST GOING TO HAVE THEIR ADJUSTER LOOK AT THE CAR AND TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT GOING TO LOOK AT THE SPEED SENSOR AT ALL. SO , BASICALLY, NO ONE IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING AND I ALMOST KILLED A BABY IN A CAR SEAT AND MYSELF THIS SEEMS LUDICROUS TO ME THAT NO ONE IS EVEN WILLING TO CHECK THIS DEFECT OUT. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THIS VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION. *TR *JS

MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 WAS TAKEN ON A TRIP. THE FIRST DAY OF THE TRIP, DARK SMOKED POURED INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE INTERIOR VENTS AND ALSO CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF DARK SMOKE WAS INVOLVED AND ALSO HAD A DISTINCT SMELL OF BURNING. IT APPEARED AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD, JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR, AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED TO SAY THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE HAD A HOLE IN IT WHICH CAUSED FLUID TO LEAK ONTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HE SAID THE PUMP SEALS WERE LEAKING AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE WITHOUT A CAR FOR TWO AND A HALF DAYS WHILE ON VACATION. LATER FOUND OUT APPLETREE HONDA IN FLETCHER NC CHARGED $314 FOR A USED PUMP, THOUGH NEVER TELLING US IT WAS USED. THE HOSE COST $136.43, ALONG WITH OTHER BELTS, ETC... WE LEFT WITH A $914.00 BILL. *TR

THIS IS MY FIRST HONDA & WILL BE MY LAST. BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT-FIGURED WE WERE SET FOR QUITE A WHILE. AT 53,000 THE TRANSMISSION WENT-3,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY. CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY & AFTER CRYING, BEGGING, PLEADING, ETC THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FREE OF CHARGE. THREE YEARS LATER I HAVE A CAR WITH 110,000 MILES ON IT. THE WHITE PAINT IS ALL PITTED WITH RUST SPOTS, THE PASSENGER SIDE MOTOR LOCK IS BROKEN & THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW MOTOR IS SHOT. GOD ONLY KNOWS ABOUT THE AIR BAGS!! I HATE THIS CAR WITH A PASSION. MY HUSBANDS 1996 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AT OVER 200,000 MILES!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HONDA DOESN'T PUT OUT RECALLS ON SOME OF THESE THINGS AS I'VE READ QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM ON THE INTERNET. OBVIOUSLY HONDA ISN'T CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR REPUTATION AT ALL. I WAS SO IMPRESSED WHEN THEY FINALLY AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BUT ITS LIKE I GOT THE LEMON OF ALL HONDAS!!! *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR LATCH. THIS REALLY SCARED HER SO THAT WE SHE WALKED TO OUR HOUSE DOORS SHE WAS SHAKING.

EVEN USED THE MANUAL KEY TO TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR BUT THE LATCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE TO OPEN THE DOOR. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THE SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND HAD AN ACCIDENT AND SHE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR? WHAT IF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE? THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WAY THE DOOR WAS DESIGNED. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE OTHER HONDA CARS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM NOT AWARE IF THE OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE ACTUALLY REPORTED THIS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ONLINE POST COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM... *TR

UPON HAVING THE SECONDARY SHAFT BEARING RECALL COMPLETED MY CAR STARTED TO DRIVE VERY SLUGGISH.

WHEN FINALLY I GET TO DESIRED SPEED THE CAR WILL SLIGHTLY JERK AS IF IT IS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS AND WILL SOMETIMES DECELERATE IN SPEED. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY ACCELERATE TO KEEP CAR GOING UP TO SPEED AND SOMETIMES HAVE TO PRESS GAS PEDAL TO FLOOR TO GET UP TO SPEED. CAR MAKES A HUMMING SOUND ON AND OFF WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED.

BASICALLY, MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD EX 4-DOOR SEDAN BEGAN TO SMOKE AND COMBUSTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AS I WAS TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC. HERE'S THE STORY. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A FRIEND'S GARAGE THAT WAS LOCATED IN GAINESVILLE, FL WHERE I NOTICED THAT TWO LIGHTS APPEARED FOR THE FIRST TIME. ONE LIGHT WAS AN EMISSIONS MALFUNCTION LIGHT AND THE OTHER WAS A VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST CONTROL LIGHT. THIS IS AFTER I HAD MY CAR FULLY SERVICED FOR THE USUAL 30,000 MILE SERVICE. ANYWAYS, I WAS TAKING THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC SINCE I FIGURED THOSE LIGHTS WERE SOMEWHAT CONCERNING. I FIGURED THE EMISSIONS LIGHT NEEDED TO BE LOOKED AT. I DROVE MAYBE A MAXIMUM OF THREE TO FOUR MILES WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THERE WAS A FIRE STARTING AND SURELY ENOUGH IT STARTED TO COMBUST ABOUT 10 TO 15 SECONDS LATER. MY BRAKES ALSO SEEMED TO GIVE OUT AT THE SAME TIME SO I SWERVED INTO A PARKING LOT TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND PROCEEDED TO GET OUT OF IT WITH ALL MY POSSESSIONS STILL INSIDE. AS I WATCHED IN DISMAY AS MY CAR WAS ON FIRE, I WAS WONDERING WHAT COME NEXT. I HAD TO DEAL WITH ALL THE PROPER AUTHORITIES, AND SUBSEQUENTLY BECAME VERY ILL THE NEXT DAY. I HAD SUFFERED FROM A DECENT AMOUNT OF STRESS AND TRAUMA SINCE BUT I FEEL QUITE BETTER NOW. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN GOOD ORDER AND HAS BEEN IN GREAT CONDITION FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS. THE CAR IS TOTALLY DESTROYED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TAKEN CARE OF IT. I HAVEN'T MADE ANY FORMAL COMPLAINTS TO NEWSPAPERS, WEBSITES, OR ANYTHING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A GOOD PLACE TO VOICE MY CONCERNS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED AND SUCH.

VIBRATION AND SHUDDER WHEN BRAKING - LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. HAD THIS PROBLEM EARLIER IN ABOUT A YEAR AFTER CAR WAS PURCHASED. DEALER RESURFACED ROTORS AND THAT SEEMED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM IS BACK AND SEEMS MOST PROMINENT WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM. NOT SURE WHY THIS ISSUE KEEPS REAPPEARING - HAVE LESS THAN 50K MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND ROTORS SEEM TO BE WARPING WHEN HOT. *TR
