Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)In 2019 Honda came out to fix the air bag recall. I never had problems with the air bag light coming on until after they fixed the air bag. The air bag light stays on all the time along with a check engine light. Also I’ve had to replace the whole transmission in 2019. In 2018 my engine cracked and I had to replace it with another engine. Currently the rack and pion went bad. The vehicle will at times steer on its own and sometimes the steering wheel won’t turn. I’ve spent thousands of dollars over the past few years. I do not believe Honda put in the air bags correctly. I barely had driven my car anywhere and I should not be having these types of problems. It’s a safety hazard.
AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, A KEY FROM MY KEY RING BECAME LODGED IN A SCREW HOLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. AS I WAS EXITING THE TURN, THE LODGED KEY RAN UP INTO THE ARM OF THE WIPER BLADES CONTROL, PREVENTING THE WHEEL FROM STRAIGHTENING OUT. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TURNING AND RAN INTO A PARKED CAR. THE REPORTING POLICE OFFICER OBSERVED AND NOTED THE DEFECT IN HIS POLICE REPORT. NO TICKET WAS ISSUED. *TR
