TAKATA RECALL, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 15V-320 AFTER REPLACING THE DRIVERS AIRBAG LOP 7521H8 BY JOYCE KOONS HONDA BUICK GMC; INVOICE # 1022132, WITH 110569 MILEAGE, THE SRS INDICATION IS ON WITH 122000 MILEAGE NOW.

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND IS DUE FOR IMMEDIATE FAILURE. UPON RESEARCHING THE SUBFRAME FOR THE 6TH GENERATION HONDA ACCORD, MULTIPLE ARTICLES, BLOGS, AND EVEN A NEWS VIDEO REPORT BY WEWS NEWS CHANNEL 5, POINT TO A/C DRAIN HOSE AS THE ISSUE CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUBFRAME IS SIGNIFICANTLY IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION VS THE PASSENGER SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BACK LIGHTING DIMMED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE GAUGES. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V256000 (INTERIOR LIGHTING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TAKATA RECALL. THE TAKATA RECALL WAS FIXED IN DEC 2015. THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON CONSTANTLY IN JULY/AUG 2016. CALLED HONDA AND THEY STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTY SERVICE ON THIS ITEM - NOT RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT - THERE APPEAR TO BE MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE SAME ISSUE (SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATES FOLLOWING TAKATA RECALL REPAIR) IN THE NTSB COMPLAINT DATABASE AND OTHER COMPLAINTS FOUND THROUGH INTERNET SEARCHES. HONDA SHOULD EXTEND THIS WARRANTY WHEN RELATED TO AIRBAG ISSUES SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE - THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK WHEN SRS SYSTEM FAILS. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS RELATED TO AIRBAGS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITH METAL FRAGMENTS DISCHARGING FROM THE INFLATOR. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED AN EYE INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION AND RESULTED IN THE CONTACT LOSING THE EYE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND TAKATA; HOWEVER, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,969.

I HAD MY CAR TAKEN IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON. I ALSO HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY FIXED MY RECALL COMPLETELY AND BELIEVE MY VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL OTHER RECALLED ISSUES AT HAND. INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE HEADLIGHT S DO NOT GIVE PROPER LIGHTING AND VISIBILITY IS HORRIBLE AT NIGHT. THE SEATBELT ON MY DRIVER SIDE LOCKS ALL THE TIME WHEN I TRY TO LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER. THE TCS LIGHT SPORADICALLY COMES ON WHEN THE ROAD CONDITIONS CHANGE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BUT I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCES TO GET DEALERSHIP AUTOSHOP WORK PERFORMED. SO IF I DO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THESE DEFECTS BEING FAULTY TO BEGIN WITH DON'T SAY I DIDN'T TRY AND GET HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH GOING AROUND A TURN, HEARD A LOUD BANG FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED AND FOUND THE SUBFRAME HAD SNAPPED. JUST HAD OIL CHANGED AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP LESS THAN 1 MONTHS AGO. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE THE SUBFRAME RUSTED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN 90% DEALER MAINTAINED IT'S WHOLE LIFE. I LIVE IN OHIO AND DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN AN ACCORD RUST IN THAT AREA. HONDA NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND FIX ISSUE. MY CAR IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ALMOST NOT WORTH THE REPAIR COST. $2500+ AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM NOT THE FIRST TO REPORT THIS THIS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

WHILE PARKING VEHICLE RAPIDLY ACCELERATED JUMPING TWO CURBS, DAMAGING THREE OTHER VEHICLES, A SMALL PICKUP TRUCK, AND A CHAIN LINK FENCE.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THE NEED FOR A REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND VEERING RIGHT, THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE.

THE CONTACT SUFFERED FIRST AND SECOND DEGREE BURNS TO BOTH ARMS AND HANDS THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A SALVAGE FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000. UPDATED 07/12/16*LJ

I CANNOT MAKE IT ACROSS BUSY STREETS SAFELY DUE TO MY VEHICLES TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER. IT TAKES TOO LONG TO ENGAGE FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BACK IN 2004. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM SOMEONE IN 2014 NOT KNOWING ABOUT IT. ISSUES INCLUDE: TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR WON'T ENGAGE. CAR STUTTERS OR JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.

TAKATA RECALL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT TO MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD WERE EFFECTED ON 2/22/16. ON 5/3/16 I WAS BRAKING FOR A RED LIGHT WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND FOLLOWED BY A STINGING PAIN IN MY LEFT ARM. WHEN I TURNED TO LOOK AT MY ARM I NOTICED THE AIRBAG FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR SEAT HAD DEPLOYED AND WAS NOW HANGING DEFLATED NEXT TO ME. THE AIR BAG LEFT A RED WELT, IT DIDN'T BRUISE ME AND THE REDNESS ONLY LASTED A COUPLE OF DAYS. I CALLED MY FATHER AND HE ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE HAD IT TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC WHO ADVISED US TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. A SERVICE MANAGER AT LONG BEACH HONDA LOOKED AT THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG AND SAID THE CAR HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WE ASKED HIM TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE DISCOVERED NO DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE CAR HE GOT DOWN ON ALL FOURS, LOOKED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF CAR, STOOD UP, AND SAID THERE WERE SMUDGES ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. WHEN I INFORMED HIM I DIDN'T RUN OVER ANYTHING, HE SAID THE BEST HE COULD DO WAS REPAIR THE AIR BAG AND RESET THE SENSORS FOR ABOUT $1,000. WE LEFT AND CONTACTED HONDA AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. A REPRESENTATIVE AT HONDA SAID HE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND AUTHORIZE AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. WE DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF ON 5/16/16 AT 8:30AM AND THEY CONTACTED US AROUND 5:00PM THAT SAME DAY AND SAID THAT THEY HAD COMPLETED THE INSPECTION. THE TECHNICAN SAID HE DISCOVERED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN PUSHED INTO THE TIRE WELL AT SOME POINT AND BECAUSE SOME SCREWS ON THE STEERING ARM WERE NEWER, REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE. WE TOLD HIM IT STILL DIDN'T EXPLAIN WHY ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CAR. HE SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS EMPTY. WHEN WE ASKED WHY THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY HE SAID THE SENSORS DECIDE WHICH AIRBAGS TO TRIGGER. WE REALIZED ALL THEY WERE LOOKING FOR WAS A REASON GET OUT OF IT.

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO GET REAR STRUTS REPLACED AND STATE INSPECTION. WAS TOLD CAR WOULD FAIL BECAUSE REAR CROSSOVER SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED BEYOND REPAIR ALONG WITH REAR BUMPER FRAME. IVE BEEN HEARING THUMPING COMING FROM REAR RIGHT OF VEHICLE THTS WHY I THOUGHT IT WAS A STRUT. IM GETTING IT REPAIRED BUT IT SEAMS LIKE AN AWEFUL LOT OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS, SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM TO ME. THE REST OF MY CAR IS RUST FREE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FRAME WAS CORRODED. WHILE DRIVING, A NOISE EMITTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHOM PERFORMED AND INSPECTION THAT LOCATED A DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONING TUBE THAT CAUSED FLUID TO LEAK ONTO THE ENGINE FRAME. THE ENGINE FRAME WAS SEVERELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA HAS MISTAKENLY LABELED OUR VEHICLE'S AIRBAG RECALL AS COMPLETED DESPITE OUR CONCERN THAT THEY HAVE INCORRECT INFORMATION. WE HAVE LIVED IN AUSTIN, TX SINCE JUNE 20TH, 2015. YET, THE RECALL SERVICE WAS SUPPOSEDLY TAKEN PLACE ON AUGUST 20TH, 2015 IN LEWISVILLE, TX . THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. LEWISVILLE IS OVER 200 MILES AWAY FROM AUSTIN AND IT WAS RECORDED AS BEING BROUGHT IN BY A WOMAN WHOM I HAVE NEVER MET OR EVEN HEARD OF. AFTER REPEATED PHONE CALLS TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS AND A "CLAIMS CASE" THAT PRODUCED NO RESULTS WHATSOEVER THE RESULT FROM HONDA'S INVESTIGATION IS "WE HAVE IT MARKED AS COMPLETED, SORRY. YOU CAN PAY FOR AN INSPECTION IF YOU WANT." I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND THE FACT THAT HONDA WILL NOT INSPECT MY VEHICLE'S SAFETY IS AN OUTRAGE.

TAKATA RECALL CALLED HONDA HEADQUARTER (888) 234-2138 TO COMPLAIN LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PROVIDE LOANER CAR OR SHUTTLE SERVICE WHILE THE AIR BAG BEING FIX. COMPLAINED TO HEADQUARTER 4/15/2016 4:00PM. HEADQUARTER SAYS IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM. WITHIN 10 MILES RADIUS THESE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY TRANSPORTATION SERVICE WHILE AIR BAG IS BEING SERVICE, WHICH CAN TAKE 3-4 HOURS. 1)BILL PAGE HONDA 6715 ARLINGTON BLVD, FALLS CHURCH, VA 22042 2)HONDA OF TYSONS CORNER 1580 SPRING HILL RD VIENNA, VA 22182-2205 ( 703) 749-6600 3) BROWNS ARLINGTON HONDA/ 3920 LEE HWY ARLINGTON, VA 22207-3724 (703) 522-8808 4)ROSENTHAL LANDMARK HONDA 5125 DUKE ST ALEXANDRIA, VA 22304-2927 (703) 823-8000 5) ROSENTHAL FAIRFAX HONDA 11020 FAIRFAX BLVD FAIRFAX, VA 22030-5046 (703) 934-8500 6) SHEEHY HONDA 7434 RICHMOND HWY ALEXANDRIA, VA 22306-2301 (703) 660-0100 7) HONDA OF CHANTILLY 4175 STONECROFT BOULEV CHANTILLY, VA 20151 (703) 633-2400

TAKATA RECALL HONDA CALLED ME BACK IN JANUARY TO NOTIFY ME OF THE INFLATOR RECALL ON MY CAR AND TOLD ME I NEED TO BRING IT IN TO BE REPAIRED. SINCE I WAS WORKING A LOT AT THE TIME AND WAS CARPOOLING WITH MY BROTHER I TOOK THE OPTION TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AT A LATER DATE. I RECENTLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I NEED TO START DRIVING THE CAR A LOT AGAIN I CALLED HONDA BACK TO SET UP THE APPOINTMENT. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY COMPLETE AND GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO THE LOCATION THIS REPAIR WAS APPARENTLY DONE. I CALLED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME A DIFFERENT DEALER WAS THE ONE THAT DID THE RECALL. I WENT BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DIFFERENT DEALERS AND HONDA'S RESOLUTION TEAM MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS BEFORE THEY FINALLY GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO THE HONDA ASSOCIATION. I CALLED THEM AND THE LADY ON THE PHONE TOLD ME IT WAS ALREADY DONE. I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND SHE CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY DONE IN HOUSTON (WHICH IS ABOUT A 4-HOUR DRIVE FROM WHERE I LIVE) ON JANUARY 29TH. SHE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO TO HELP ME AND CONTINUED THAT IT WAS ALREADY DONE. I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT DRIVES THIS HONDA AND DEFINITELY DID NOT TAKE IT TO BE REPAIRED, AND HONDA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MEANWHILE AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM THE PAST FEW WEEKS I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I AM DRIVING MY CAR WITH DANGEROUS INFLATORS AND CAN'T GET THE REPAIR WORK DONE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OFFERED BY HONDA, WITH A NEW JOB IN FRISCO (ABOUT AN HOUR DRIVE) STARTING IN A FEW WEEKS. I TOLD THE LADY ON THE PHONE THAT I WAS GOING TO CONTACT THE NHTSA NEXT AND SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD MAKE NOTE OF THAT.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2001 HONDA ACCORD, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 78800. I PAID $4000 TO HONDA DEALER TO INSTALL A REMANUFACTURED AUTO TRANSMISSION, THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY AT 14600 MILES AGAIN.

MILEAGE: 133,000- STARTED MY CAR AT HOME AND COULDN'T GET IT OUT OF PARK. TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN WHILE STEPPING ON THE BREAKS. BREAK PETAL RELEASE AND HIT THE FLOOR. HAD TO TOW VEHICLE TO SHOP. SHOP FOUND THAT ENTIRE UNDER BODY (SUB-FRAME) WAS RUSTED, ROTTED/ LEAKING. BRAKE AND FUEL LINES TOTALLY ROTTED ALONG WITH ENTIRE UNDER BODY, ESPECIALLY NOTED- LOCATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE STRUT ASSEMBLY, BENEATH THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN. TOTAL COST OVER $2,000. ALSO, PAINT PEALING/ RUSTING OFF. STARTED AT 60,000 MILES. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THESE SAME ISSUES, AND FINDING THAT HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY (AIR CONDITIONER IS LOCATED RIGHT ABOVE ENGINE) I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO SPEND ANOTHER TIME ON THIS CAR AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE. I GUESS PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE HONDA WILL ADMIT MODEL FLAW. I'M SO LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING WHEN MY BREAKS WENT OUT.

HARD SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE 2001 HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSIONS. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE HOW GREAT HONDA VEHICLES ARE AND IT SEEMS THAT HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY SISTER INLAW WAS LOOKING AT A NEW 2016 HONDA. I SHOWED HER ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT HONDA HAD AND SHE DECIDED TO BUY SOMETHING ELSE. SHAME ON HONDA FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF THERE CUSTOMERS. YOU NEED TO RECALL THIS TRANSMISSION AND DO THE RIGHT THING. WE CALL THIS ( STANDING BEHIND OUR PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMERS ). HOPE YOU DO THE RIGHT THING...

TAKATA AIRBAGS-- SPRING DEALER ADVISED TO CALL HONDA DIRECTLY AT 888-234-2138 TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED. I PHONED 8/26 GIVEN CASE #04977053--THEY SAID SOMEONE WOULD CALL BACK MONDAY. I CALLED TUESDAY 8/30 3X--SPOKE WITH ELEVLYN, GARY, COROLINE," SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BACK" I CALLED AGAIN TODAY THURSDAY 9/1 SPOKE WITH CHRIS "SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BACK". EVERY TIME I CALL THEY PUT ME ON HOLD FOR 15-20 MINUTES, ONLY TO COME BACK AND SAY THE PERSON WHO CAN AUTHORIZE THE CAR PICK UP WILL CALL ME BACK. I LIVE IN NY, THE CAR IS IN HOUSTON. I WILL ONLY BE IN HOUSTON NEXT WEEK 9/5 TO 9/10. THE KNOW THIS AND THEY DON'T CARE. THE NOTICE I GO SAYS "URGENT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE" AIRBAGS HAVE RUPTURED AND KILLED AND INJURED DRIVERS---WHY DO THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE SUCH VEHICLE TO DEALER? DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET INJURED OR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED TAKING THE CAR TO BE FIXED FOR HONDA TO TAKE ACTION? PLEASE HELP ME!!! AS IT IS WE'LL HAVE A RENTAL DURING OUR TRIP- I WAS NO EVEN ASKING HONDA FOR HELP PAYING THE RENTAL, SINCE I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER [THE CAR THAT CAN KILL ME] FOR THEM TO GIVE ME A RENTAL.

FAILURE OF THE IGNITION PARK-SHIFT INTERLOCK THAT ALLOWED THE IGNITION KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION BEING SHIFTED TO PARK. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AFTER I TURNED-OFF THE CAR WHILE IN D AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN 05V025000 (WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER). THIS WAS ALSO ADDRESSED BY NHTSA ACTION RQ08006 (WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEGICLE'S VIN NUMBER). THE PROBLEM IS PERMANENT AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED THEM TO COVER THE FIX OF THIS ISSUE (CITING THE ABOVE NHTSA REPORTS) BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO SO. MY REQUEST IF FOR NHTSA TO INSTRUCT HONDA TO EXTEND THE COVERAGE OF 05V02500 TO MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER. MY ISSUE SEEMS IDENTICAL TO THE SAME ISSUE WITH HONDA ACCORD 1999-2002 AND MANY OTHER SIMILAR MODELS. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER WAS OMITTED FROM PRIOR RECALLS (05V025000 AND 10V364000) BY AN ERROR. IT IS JUST OUT OF LUCK THAT THE FAILURE DID NOT HAPPEN EARLIER AND DIN NOT CAUSE A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER SENT A RECALL NOTICE, THE DEALER SCHEDULED A REPAIR AND STATED THEY COMPLETED THE RECALL BUT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE DEALER PROVIDED THE REPAIR AND IF THE REMEDY FROM THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE THEIR SOLUTION TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS AT DEALER FOR REGULAR CHECK UP AND THEY MENTIONED MY CAR SUBFRAME REAR BEAM PASSENGER SIDE IS RUSTED AND ITS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY QUOTED ME $2500 AND OTHER MECHANICS $1600. I WAS KEEP ON CHECKING THE RUST REGULARLY FOR MY SAFETY AND NOTICED THE AC WATER IS DROPPING FROM THE SUBFRAME AND THAT PART IS ALWAYS WET. AFTER RESEARCH IN ONLINE, I CAME TO KNOW THIS IS A HONDA 98-02 CAR DESIGN ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE AC DRAIN PIPE NOW MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I CANT SPEND $2500. THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TO AVOID ANY CRASH. REQUEST YOU TO TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE MANY CRASHES IN UPCOMING YEARS AND NOW THIS DEFECT IS FOR 15 YEARS AND PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE NOT NOTICED UNTIL NOW. IN UPCOMING YEARS THEY WILL SEE THIS OR RUN INTO AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE HAVING MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, THE TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

SUBFRAME RUST CAUSED BY MISPOSITIONED A/C DRAIN PIPE DROPPED MY CAR OFF FOR HER 200K TUNE IN NH. THE MECHANIC SAID THE SUBFRAME UNDERNEATH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS SHOT. I DEBATED WHETHER TO SPEND $1100 FOR A USED SUBFRAME AND LABOR. DECIDED IT WAS A GAMBLE, BUT PROBABLY WORTH IT. DROPPED IT OFF TWO DAYS LATER AND HE SHOWED ME WHERE. I GRABBED THE FRAME AND IT JUST CRUMBLED. WITH THE NEW SUBFRAME AND TUNE, SHE RUNS LIKE NEW, EVEN AT 200K. LATER I DID MORE RESEARCH LATER AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I GOT THE CAR UP ON A FRIEND'S LIFT AND FOUND THE A/C DRAIN HOSE. IT WAS HIGH UP IN THE CAR AND REALLY SHORT! IT POINTED DIRECTLY AT THE SUBFRAME. I SIMPLY REPLACED THE HOSE, CLAMPED IT ON, THEN TIED THE END TO A THINGY FURTHER DOWN, SO THAT THE OPENING POINTED AT THE GROUND. LIKE $2 IN PARTS AND 20 MINUTES, AND I'M AN AMATEUR. I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT HONDA NEVER OFFICIALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DESIGN DEFECT. I GET THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR SUBFRAME REPLACEMENTS - THEY'RE A BUSINESS, YADDA YADDA. BUT IT'S SUCH A BASIC OVERSIGHT WITH AN EASY SOLUTION. JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DILIGENCE ON THEIR PART WOULD HAVE SAVED ME OVER A THOUSAND BUCKS. SUBFRAME RUST IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THEY DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED FOR SUCH LAZINESS AND NEGLIGENCE. TO NIP THIS IN THE BUD: YES, I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND. THERE'S A LOT OF SALT ON THE ROADS, BUT I WASH THE UNDERCARRIAGE REGULARLY. AND IF IT WERE GENERAL WEAR-N-TEAR, THE ENTIRE SUBFRAME WOULD HAVE HAD SIMILAR LEVELS OF DAMAGE. HOWEVER, THE ROT WAS LOCALIZED DIRECTLY UNDER THE A/C DRAIN HOSE. ALSO, THE DEALERSHIP SAID NOTHING ABOUT SUBFRAME RUST WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. SOME 100 POINT INSPECTION, HUH?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,035.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS). A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES OF A FRACTURED STERNUM, FRACTURED RIBS, AND ABRASIONS TO THE LEGS, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 03/10/16*LJ UPDATED 03/16/16*JB

TAKATA RECALL. YESTERDAY WENT TO COGGIN HONDA OF ORLANDO FLORIDA ANSWERING A RECALL LETTER I RECEIVED FROM THEM AND FROM HONDA HEADQUATER, BUT SERVICE WAS DENIED BECAUSE CAR DID NOT HAVE ORIGINAL PART. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWENER I BOUGHT CAR FROM LOCAL SELLER WHO IS NOT LONGER IN BUSINESS AND I WAS NOT AWARED OF PROBLEM I JUST MENTIONED. CAR IS STILL ON THE ROAD, AND I AM REQUESTING FROM HONDA HONDA HEADQUARTER TO HONOR THE RECALL IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE SAFELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE AIR BAG INDEPENDENTLY DEPLOYED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK THE GUARD RAIL AND CAUSED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE COLLISION RESULTED IN ONE INJURY; HOWEVER, NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 192,000.

MY 18 YEAR OLD SON BOUGHT A 2001 HONDA ACCORD AFTER SAVING HIS MONEY. ONE YEAR LATER WHILE HAVING A OIL CHANGE THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF FRONT SUBFRAME WAS ROTTED SO BAD A SECTION WAS MISSING. TERRIBLE THAT HONDA WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO AFFECT MANY ACCORDS. I ENCOURAGED HIM TO BUY A HONDA OR TOYOTA FOR THEIR RELIABILITY, AT LEAST TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON THEIR FRAMES.

AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS ,I JUST HAD THE TAKATA RECALLED AIR BAG REPLACED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO IN MY HONDA FROM TAKATA. TODAY NOVEMBER 6TH I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION GOING AROUND 35MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY. THE NEW REPLACED AIR BAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL NEVER DEPLOYED BUT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN JUST A PASSENGER AIR BAG GO OFF AND NOT THE DRIVERS BAG GO OFF TO. THE DRIVERS AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THIS NEW AIR BAG FROM TAKATA NOT GOING OFF OR AN INSTALLATION ISSUE?. THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED BY SMART HONDA DEALERSHIP IN DES MOINES IOWA SEVERAL WEEK AGO. THE CAR IS AT IMPOUND RIGHT NOW AT THE TOWING COMPANY IT IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THERE IS A POLICE REPORT OF THE ACCIDENT...THX

FIRST OF ALL I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IVE HAD MY SRS DASH LIGHT COME ON IN THE PAST AND HONDA REPLACED MY SEAT BELT BUCKLE AND HONDA HAD COVERED THE REPAIR ON THIS . THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN RECENTLY AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE LIGHT ISSUE AND TOLD ME THE SRS UNIT WAS BAD AND IT WOULD BE AT LEAST $700 FOR THE REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE(AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY) AND I AM SEEING THIS IS QUITE COMMON ON THIS PARTICULAR MAKE , MODEL , YEAR . I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE IT CAN DEFINITELY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO A FATALITY IN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT .

THE FRONT SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS RUSTED THROUGH DUE TO HONDAS GREAT IDEA TO LET THE A/C DRAIN THERE. IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. NOW MY CAR COULD FALL APART AT ANY MOMENT WHICH IS CLEARLY NOT SAFE.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, REAR ENDED A VEHICLE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. VEHICLE SUSTAINED HEAVY FRONT END DAMAGE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

THIS IS JUST TO ENTER A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA ABOUT A SUBFRAME ISSUE ON THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR CAR. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS BUT NOT ENOUGH AT THIS TIME TO INVOLVE A RECALL. I AM WRITING TO YOU IN REGARDS TO A SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE SUBFRAME OF MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD LX HAS ROTTED THROUGH. THIS IS LOCATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE STRUT ASSEMBLY, BENEATH THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN, AS NOTED BY OTHERS ON POSTING ON THE INTERNET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED DUE TO THE AIR CONDITIONER HOSE LEAKING. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHERWISE, ESPECIALLY WITH VERY LOW MILES (77,000) THERE IS NO OTHER ROT ON THE VEHICLE. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF A DESIGN FLAW RELATING TO THE LOCATION OF THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW AND BE ACCOUNTABLE TO REPAIR THIS UNSAFE SITUATION. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY HONDA CORP. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY GIVEN THE MOUNTING EVIDENCE OF THIS FLAW BEFORE SOME POOR UNAWARE SOUL IS HURT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT ANOTHER DESIGN FLAW WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CAR'S CLEAR COAT IS PEELING AND HAS BEEN SINCE ABOUT 2013, WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION I WAS INFORMED MANY OTHERS OF THE SAME CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I EXPLAINED I WENT TO A PROFESSIONAL PAINT PLACE AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS EITHER THE WAY IT WAS APPLIED OR THE BATCH LOT WAS A BAD CATCH AND YOU CAN TYPICALLY ISOLATE IT TO AN AREA OR MANUFACTURER. I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR REPAINTED AS I BELIEVE THAT HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DESIGN DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THIS TO BE REPAINTED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME REGARDING THESE ISSUES. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR RESPONSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING HOSE DRAINED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME, WHICH CAUSED THE SUBFRAME TO RUST WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE FAILURE WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD VEHICLES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 192,000.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION? #10743472. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

AFTER WE RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM THE HONDA DIVISION, WE FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE IS TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE. OUR QUESTION IS A SHORT ONE. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES TO TOW THIS VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL DEALER? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR CONSIDERING THIS QUESTION

THE AXEL THAT HOLDS MY TIRES ON DO NOT HOLD THE BOLTS THAT ARE PUT ON. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EVERY SINGLE BOLT ON ALL FOUR TIRES ONCE A MONTH, IF NOT MORE. THE BOLTS COME LOSE AFTER REPLACING THEM AND TIGHTENING THEM. THE BOLTS KEEP CROSS THREADING AFTER FIXING THEM AND PUTTING THEM ON CORRECTLY. MY DRIVER SEAT BELT COMES UNDONE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WHERE THE CLOCK IS AND BELOW COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS, EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM MY TIRES, PULL OVER AND A BOLT OR TWO HAS COME OFF. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR NOT ONLY ME BUT MY FAMILY.

THE DATE LISTED ABOVE SHOULD BE 2/14/2001, WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT HOME THE AIRBAG LIGHT UP. I TOOK THE CAR BAG AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT WAS FIXED. AS THE YEARS PASSED BY THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO LIGHT UP. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES. THEY NEVER OFFERED ME ANOTHER CAR OR FIXED THE PROBLEM. AS THE YEARS WENT ON THERE WAS FINALLY A RECALL ISSUED. BUT TO THIS DAY THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPENSATED A DEFECTIVE CAR BUT I WAS NEVER OFFERED ANOTHER CAR OR A REDUCED PRICE. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BUT YOUR WEBSITE DOES NOT LIST MY VIN. CAN I BRING MY CAR TO THE HEADQUARTERS LOCATION IN TORRANCE FOR AN INSPECTION/FIX THE PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR BUYING A NEW CAR THAT DID NOT LIVE UP TO HONDA'S STANDARDS FROM DAY 1 ( FEBRUARY 14, 2001)...
