EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010 I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WITH IT BECAUSE I HAVE HAD TO CONSTANTLY PUT IT MORE OIL BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. FINALLY, IN 2012 I TOOK IT A HONDA DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. BUT I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND NO RECALL. AGAIN DECEMBER 2014, LAST YEAR, I HAD AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AT THE SUGGESTION OF HONDA BU THE CORPORATE GATEKEEPER TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND MY PROBLEM WILL NOT BE COVERED. GUESS WHAT? SEPTEMBER 2015, I RECEIVED WARRANTY EXTENTION NOTICE FOR HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO A STICKING PISTON. THE CATCH IS THAT IT WAS ONLY FOR 125000 MILES WHEN I HAVE ALREADY REACHED 153000 MILES. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD COVER MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I WAS ALREADY IN THE SYSTEM.

DRIVER TRAVELING SPEED LIMIT ON INTERSTATE 40 OUTSIDE KINGMAN, AZ. DRIVER DRIFTED OFF THE ROAD, OVER CORRECTED, AND STRUCK A WOODEN POST AT THE END OF GUARDRAIL, CAUSING CAR TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, LEADING INSURANCE INVESTIGATORS CONCERNED. INSURANCE ADJUSTORS FELT THE CAR COULD BE FIXED UNTIL A LARGE HOLE WAS DISCOVERED IN THE TRANSMISSION. CONCERN TO ALL WAS THAT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V395000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,965. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

WITH NO IMPACT OR APPARENT REASON THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON. ONE HONDA DEALER TOLD ME THAT NO AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT AND ANOTHER HONDA DEALER TOLD ME THAT ALL THE AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. BOTH ADVISED AGAINST FIXING AS VERY EXPENSIVE TO DETERMINE REASON FOR LIGHT. I DRIVE A LOT AND DO NOT WANT TO PUT MYSELF OR MY FAMILY IN DANGER. PLEASE HELP

MY AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED ON SO I GOT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FROM POHANKA HONDA. THIS OCCURRED BEFORE THE SRS RECALL WAS ISSUED. HONDA SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY SRS UNIT ALONG WITH MY GAUGE CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER. HONDA WAS GOING TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR & LABOR FOR $1,200. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY BUT WAS CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY SAFETY SO I ORDERED THE PARTS AND GOT IT REPAIRED OUTSIDE THE DEALERSHIP. HERE'S THE ISSUE, I WAS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR PARTS ($500) BUT HONDA MANUFACTURE ONLY WILLING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR JUST THE SRS UNIT ($200) AND NOT THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE ($300). I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD ALSO COVER THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE SINCE THE CODE THAT WAS DISCOVERED BY THE HONDA TECHNICIAN REVEALED THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. SINCE I FOLLOWED GUIDANCE BY POHANKA HONDA, I'M WITHOUT $300 BECAUSE THE RECALL ONLY COVERED THE SRS UNIT. IF POHANKA HONDA WOULD HAVE COMPLETED THE REPAIR FOR $1,200, HONDA MANUFACTURE WOULD HAVE REIMBURSED ME FOR $1,200. I BELIEVE I'M BEING PENALIZED BECAUSE THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

ON THE 3RD OF SEPTEMBER THE DOOR WAS CLOSED, AND ALL PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, MY GRANDSON WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT, BUT SUFFERED NO HARM. THE CAR WAS PARKED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,000. UPDATED 04/14/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED OIL HAD TO CONSTANTLY BE ADDED TO THE VEHICLE. *JS

THE ENGINE RATTLES AT COLD START-UP. SINCE APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 1, 2015, THE ENGINE ON MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L (4 CYLINDER) HAS CREATED A LOUD RATTLE EVERY TIME UNDER COLD START-UP CONDITIONS. THE NOISE GOES AWAY AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS AND THE ENGINE SMOOTHS OUT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALER FOR ANOTHER ISSUE IN JANUARY 2016 AND ASKED THEM TO INVESTIGATE THE COLD START-UP NOISE, BUT THEY CLAIMED THAT THE NOISE DID NOT OCCUR WHEN THEY STARTED THE VEHICLE. I QUESTIONED WHETHER THEY TRIED TO START IT UNDER COLD ENGINE CONDITIONS AND THEY SAID THEY HAD. I RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER AND THEY WERE ABLE TO HEAR THE RATTLE AT COLD START-UP AND SUGGESTED THAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATOR. HONDA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (09-010) BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A HONDA DEALER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN INTERNAL SRS FAILURE AND THE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,853.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT HEARD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE.

AUG 2015 HEARD A RATTLING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. CHECKED THE DIPSTICK AND THE ENGINE WAS ALMOST OUT OF OIL. THIS WAS IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AT 3700 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND HAD AN OIL CHANGE. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM HONDA ABOUT OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. I BEGAN THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH THE DEALER. SO FAR, TWICE IT HAS BEEN DOWN .75 QTS. OVER 5K MILES THAT WOULD PLACE THE ENGINE DOWN 3.75 QTS OR ALMOST DRY, BUT HONDA SAYS THAT'S NORMAL AND I SHOULD BE ADDING OIL MYSELF. THAT IS RIDICULOUS!!! WHY SEND OUT THE NOTICE AND EXTEND THE WARRANTY THEN. HONDA KNOWS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE, BUT DOES NOTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I'VE READ THAT IT IS WORN PISTON RINGS DO TO A VCM TIMING ISSUE. WHY IS THAT THE CUSTOMERS PROBLEM? THE SETTLED THIS OWNERS OF THE V6, BUT TOLD OWNERS OF THE 4CYL TO POUND SAND. THIS ISSUE REQUIRES A RECALL. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST HONDA ACCORD.

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE BEGAN A YEAR AGO. ON 8/15/2015, HONDA OFFERED AND EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE PISTON/VCT ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO CONSUME TOO MUCH OIL. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SAYS.."IF THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION, CONTACT ANY AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER FOR AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT INSEPECTED AND, IF NEEDED REPAIRED. PLEASE PLAN TO LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE AT THE DEALER FOR TWO FULL DAYS TO ALLOW THEM FLEXIBILITY IN SCHEDULING." THIS QUOTE IS RIGHT FROM THE WARRANTY. A YEAR LATER AND HONDA WILL NOT HONOR THIS WARRANTY. WHAT THEY DO IS MAKE THE CAR HAVE A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. IF THE CAR IS NOT BURNING MORE THAN A QUART IN 1000 MILES THEY SAY ITS NOT A PROBLEM. HONDA MALL OF GEORGIA CLAIMED MY CAR IS BURNING 3/4 OF A QUART THEREFORE THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. AROUND 7/1/2016, I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT GWINNETT PLACE HONDA. I AM 1000 MILES AWAY FROM HAVING MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND THE "GRINDING" NOISE HIT MY CAR AGAIN. MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED AND WAS DOWN TO 2QUARTS OF OIL. I HAD TO ADD TWO QUARTS. BRINGING CAR IN TODAY 9/7/2016 TO START YET ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE, YET WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANRTY!!!!! THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO GET NHTSA OFF OF ITS BACK YET WRITES UNWRITTEN RULES THAT PROTECTS THEM FROM FIXING THE ISSUE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS USELESS UNLESS THEY FIX THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED AND THE RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY. THE ENGINE, VSA, AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE APPEARS TO BE FAULTY AND THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF A CRASH.

LOUD CRANKING NOISE WHEN COLD STARTING THE CAR REGARDLESS OF DATE OF LAST OIL CHANGE. HONDA INFORMED ME IT WAS THE VTC ACTUATOR, WHICH IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BASED ON ONLINE COMPLAINS, BUT STILL NO RECALL. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME COMPLAINT AT VARYING DEGREES OF MILEAGE.

AT ABOUT 68,000 MILES, I BEGAN HEARING A DISTURBING MECHANICAL RATTLE ON COLD STARTS. IT GOT WORSE AND WORSE UNTIL A RECENT TRIP TO MY HONDA DEALER CONFIRMED I HAVE THE VTC (?) VALVE RATTLE PROBLEM, AND IT IS "CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW BY HONDA." FROM MY RESEARCH ON HONDA OWNERS FORUMS, THIS AFFECTS A LARGE NUMBER OF MODELS FROM 2008 ON, AND HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. I WAS TOLD THIS ISSUE DOES NOT AFFECT ENGINE PERFORMANCE OR LONGEVITY, BUT IT IS DISCONCERTING TO HAVE SOUNDS LIKE THIS EMANATING FROM MY ENGINE EVERY DAY (IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR). A CALL TO HONDA CONFIRMED HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE "STILL WORKING ON A SOLUTION" (I DON'T KNOW FOR HOW MANY YEARS NOW). AND NO, THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME, NO COMPENSATION OR EVEN A FIX I COULD POSSIBLY PAY FOR. I WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF THE CAR BEFORE SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS, BUT NO BUYER WILL PAY MARKET VALUE FOR IT WITH THIS CONDITION. I AM ALSO WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY BECAUSE THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN ENGINE SEIZURE WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND I NO LONGER TRUST HONDA IS TELLING THE TRUTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V370000 (AIR BAGS) WERE RECEIVED IN JULY OF 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I PURCHASED NEW TIRES ABOUT A YEAR AGO. TIRES HAD LESS THAN 30,000 ON THEM. BACK TIRES STILL HAD 90% TREAD BUT GETTING A VIBRATION. TOOK CAR TO THE BODY SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR END OF MY VEHICLE WAS BADLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT.. I COULD SEE IT WITH MY NAKED EYES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE REAR TIRES CAN NOT BE ALIGNED. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE CAMBER ON THE BACK TIRES, SO NO MATTER WHAT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE VIBRATION AND ALWAY UNEVENLY WHERE YOUR TIRES. ONLY WAY I CAN SEE TO FIX THIS, IS TO INSTALL ADJUSTABLE CAMBERS, BUT IF THIS IS A DESIG FLAW AND HONDA ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED IT WITH A SERVICE BULLETIN ADDRESSING THERE HONDA CIVICS, THEN WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FIX. I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH HONDA.

OIL LOW AT OIL CHANGE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND HEARD A LOUD SOUND AND SAW THAT THE SUNROOF/MOONROOF GLASS EXPLODED. NOTHING HIT IT. NO ONE WAS DRIVING IN FRONT OF ME. I KNOW IT EXPLODED BECAUSE IT PUCKERED OUT ALMOST IN A VOLCANO SHAPE. GLASS WAS EVERYWHERE.

THE AIR BAG SENSOR (DRIVER SIDE) LIGHT IS ON AND HONDA REFUSES TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AT THEIR EXPENSE. CLAIMS THE CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE MASSIVE AIRBAG RECALL. ALTHOUGH FROM US DOT INVESTIGATION THEY PREVIOUSLY HIDE WARRANTY ISSUES FROM THE PUBLIC.

OUR 2008 HONDA ACCORD SRS INDICATOR IS ON WHICH ALERTS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG OR SEAT BELT TENSIONERS PER OWNER'S MANUAL. WE TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA DEALER. IT TOOK THEM HOURS AND CHARGED US $157 BUT COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY ENDED UP SUGGESTING EITHER WE REPLACE SRS UNIT $603+TAX, AND IF PROBLEM STILL PRESENT THEN REPLACE THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE $555+TAX. HEREBY WE'RE REPORTING THIS ISSUE AND HOPE HONDA WILL RECALL THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE VTC ACTUATOR WAS FAULTY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START OCCASIONALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASH , MAKING AIRBAG SYSTEM USELESS. TAKEN TO DEALER SAID THE SRS COMPUTER WAS BAD , HAD COMPUTER REPLACED AT A COST OF 430.69. HAD TO WAIT 4 DAYS FOR PARTS BECAUSE THEY WERE ON BACKORDER THEY MUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THESE UNITS, THEY SHOULD NOT GO BAD ANYWAY, I THINK IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE, THEY SAID BASICALLY IT IS OUT OF THE 3YR/360000 WARRANTY AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS AT ALL, SEEMS TO ME THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT SAFETY..UPDATED 07/20/15 *BF

FIRST INCIDENT WAS ON 6/14/2015. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AS MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT SMELLED LIKE SMOKE.

I LIVE IN A COMPLEX AND MANY NEIGHBORS COMPLAINED ABOUT THE IRRITATING NOISE THAT MY CAR MAKES BEFORE IT STARTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A TECHNICIAN AND HE MENTIONED ME THE PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTORY ISSUE. I FOUND TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF HONDA ACCORD FROM 2008-2012 WITH SIMILAR ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT I FACED WITH TO HONDA. IN ADDITION I HAVE NOT DONE ANY REPAIR REGARDING THIS PROBLEM SO FAR AND I WAS TOLD THAT ONLY HONDA CAN FIX THAT.

MY MODEL YEAR 2008 ACCORD COUPE EX MODEL HAS BEEN BURNING OIL FOR A LONG TIME. A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD THE TSB COMPLETED ON IT THAT REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER AND WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ISSUE. AS OF NOW THE CAR IS STILL BURNING OIL AND HAS DEVELOPED A NEW PROBLEM. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WITH ERROR CODE P0341 WHICH IS FOR THE CAM POSITION SENSOR. THIS IS WITH COMBINATION OF A LOUD RATTLE FOR A FEW SECONDS COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED. I AM CONCERNED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HOPE THAT HONDA COULD DIAGNOSE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR ME. I BELIEVE HONDA EXTENDED THE ENGINE WARRANTY TO 8 YEARS AND 125,000 MILES.

HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE REAR BRAKES REPAIRED TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. ONCE AT 57,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 140,000. WHILE I REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOW A HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLE, THE FRONT BRAKES ARE STILL THE ORIGINAL AND WHEN THE REAR BRAKES WERE REPAIRED, THE SHOP ESTIMATED I STILL HAD 70% LIFE REMAINING FOR THE FRONT PADS. THE COST OF THE REPAIRS AT 57,000 MILES WERE PARTIALLY COVERED BY A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST HONDA AT THE TIME.

PULLED INTO SUBWAY SANDWICH SHOP, PASSENGER GOT OUT OF CAR SHUT DOOR AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.

I PURCHASED MY 2008 ACCORD EX 4 DOOR 10 MONTHS AGO. WELL 05/16/2015 I GOT OUT WINDOWS WERE DOWN AND CLOSED MY DOOR AND BOOM SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT MY NEIGHBORS ALL CAME OUT THE ENTIRE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON AT ALL..NOW I AM STUCK WITH $7000 OF DAMAGES RIPPED SEAT,AIR BAGS DEPLOYED HANGING OUT AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TAKE NO ACTION SAYING ITS NOT A RECALL. THIS WILL BE THE LAST HONDA I PURCHASE. IT HAS 124K MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

THE OUTER RACE OF THE SECONDARY SHAFT BEARING IS BROKEN ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC AND IS CAUSING ABNORMAL NOISE, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS TURN ON AND THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME. AND ONCE WHEN I HAVE PLACED THE CAR IN THE PARK POSITION IT HAS ROLLED ON ME... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME UP AROUND APRIL 30TH 2015 AND IN MAY 14TH 2015 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER IN TALLAHASSEE. AFTER A MULTIPLE POINTS INSPECTION THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE "SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG" WAS NON FUNCTIONAL AND REPLACEMENT WILL COST $526.00. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT WERE THE AIR BAGS COULD HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. THE MECHANIC WAS VERY CAREFUL NOT TO SAY THE AIR WAS DEFECTIVE. HOW A PART THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED COULD BE NON FUNCTIONAL? THE HONDA PEOPLE KNOWS ABOUT THIS DEFECT BUT WANT TO PASS THE COST TO THE CUSTOMER AND WHEN WE CAN NOT AFFORD THAT KIND OF STICKER PRICE THEY ARE PUTTING OUR LIVES IN RISK.
