2006 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE HEADLIGHTS OUTER SURFACE HAS TURNED CLOUDY. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH CARS BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT GREATLY IMPAIRS VISION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CAR MAKERS CAN CONTINUE TO TO MAKE THEIR HEADLIGHTS OUT OF MATERIALS WE ALL KNOW WILL DISCOLOR AND CREATE A SAFETY PROBLEM.

HI, MY ACCORD'S PAINT HAS BEEN PEELING SINCE APPROX. 1 YEAR AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE. IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE WINDOWS, THEN THE TRUNK, NOW IT IS ON THE TOP AND SIDES AND MORE AROUND WINDOWS. PEELED PARTS AROUND WINDOWS IMMEDIATELY, AND ON THE TRUNK IT STARTED AS SMALL CIRCLES, WHICH HAVE NOW SPREAD TO 50% OF THE CAR- IT IS GOING TO RUST AND THERE IS BARE BODY AND NOT ANY PAINT LEFT IN THESE AREAS. I HAVE MADE MANY ATTEMPTS, ALL WHICH THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PAINT- INCLUDING A $250 QUOTE FROM THE DEALER FOR THE TRUNK ONLY. RECENTLY, I TOOK MY CAR THERE FOR SERVICE AND THEY TOOK A GASH OUT OF MY PAINT IN THE BACK BUMPER SO I HAVE TO GET THE BUMPER PAINTED TOO NOW. SINCE THIS IS A NATIONWIDE DEFECT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE CSTMR SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE! PLEASE HELP! PS- THIS IS MY 2ND HONDA FROM THE SAME DEALER (DEALER WHO ALSO WONT HELP), AND IM ACTUA;;Y READY TO BUY A THIRD BUT AFRAID.

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.

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AIR BAG RECALL, A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO SAME DEALER THAT HAD REPLACED AIR BAG AND NOW I'M TOLD THAT THE SRS UNIT HAS GONE BAD AND NO SAFETY FEATURES (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS) WILL WORK IF I AM IN A CRASH. I CAN PAY OVER $730 TO FIX THIS UNIT. ADDITIONALLY, I AM ASKED WHEN MY BATTERY HAD DIED- WHICH IT HASN'T DIED. HOWEVER, THE ONLY TIME IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WHEN MY BATTERY WAS TOUCHED WAS WHEN THEY DISCONNECTED IT TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS RECALLED AIR BAG. THEN I'M TOLD THAT THIS MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY FROM HONDA AND WAS IN NO WAY CONNECTED OR EFFECTED BY THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT THEY DID A FEW MONTHS PRIOR. I FIND THIS INCREDIBLY SUSPECT AND HAVE NOTICED OTHERS POSTING THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT REPLACED AIRBAGS AND SRS UNIT REPLACEMENTS. SO, EVEN AFTER THIS RECALL, I HAVE A CAR THAT ISN'T SAFE AND I FEEL THAT THIS NEW ISSUE IS A RESULT OF THE EARLIER WORK WITH THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS RELATIONSHIP TO SEE IF RECALL REPLACEMENT UNITS OR PROCEDURES ARE CAUSING THIS SRS UNIT TO MALFUNCTION. WE'RE HAVING TO PAY ALMOST $1000 TO FIX THIS AND I DON'T FEEL THAT WE'D BE IN THIS PREDICAMENT WITHOUT SOME FAULT OF HONDA OR THE TECHNICIANS AT MY LOCAL DEALER.
