2003 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: I WANT TO KNOW WHY THE TAKATA AIRBAG IN MY CAR IS NOT BEING RECALLED "AT THIS TIME." AS I WAS TOLD BY HONDA IN TORRENCE. "AT THIS TIME" IS A LOUSY ANSWER AND I HARDLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE OUT OF FEAR. IT IS 2003 AND I HAVE 51,000 MILES ON IT. I LIKE THIS CAR BUT I AM BEING TREATED LIKE MY LIFE IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING. I WANT AN ANSWER AS TO WHY MY TAKATA AIRBAG IS NOT BEING REPLACED. PERHAPS THE MEDIA CAN HELP ME.

I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT MY 03 HONDA ACCORD WAS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL, BUT THE SEARCHES SAY THERE IS NO OUTSTANDING RECALL. THEY KEPT CHANGING THE YEARS, STATES W VS WO HUMIDITY, ETC, BUT ALL ACCORD BEFORE AND AFTER MY YEAR WERE AFFECTED, AND I AM CERTAIN THE AIRBAG FIX WAS NEVER DONE BY MY HONDA DEALERSHIP. I CAN'T GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. IS THERE NOT A DANGER WITH THESE ORIGINAL TAKATA AIRBAGS? VIN [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY CAR HAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR AIRBAGS. I WENT TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX BECAUSE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS DEPLOYED. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THAT'S REASON THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS AIRBAG FOR THE RECALL? THANKS.

HELLO I NEED TO SUBMIT A NEAR COLLISION INCIDENT CAUSED BY A TRANSMISSION LOCKUP ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. I DON'T KNOW YOUR VIN TRACKING METHODS, BUT YOU HAVE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR ALL OF THEM, PARTICULARLY MINE. REFER TO: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 04V-176 MFR CAMPAIGN ID: P38 CAMPAIGN DSCRIPTION: 03-04 ACCORD AUTO TRANS RECALL RECALL DATE: 04/13/2014 I'VE JUST HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME IN MY 2003 ACCORD AND CAN PROVIDE PROOF BY SUBMITTING MY TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT RECORDS FROM THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER SERVICE SHOP. I WAS LUCKY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME.

TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED (NHTSA REFERENCE #04V176000) IN 2004 FOR OVER HEATING PROBLEM. THERE WAS NO FOLLOW UP TO SEE IF REPAIRS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL WERE EFFECTIVE OVER THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE TRANSMISSION. SYMPTOMS STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. TRANSMISSION PAUSES BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. THEN TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND ENGINE REVS. AFTER ONE WEEK, TRANSMISSION QUIT PULLING AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE. CAR WOULD NOT GET UP TO SPEED AND TRANSMISSION QUIT PULLING ENTIRELY, LEAVING ME STRANDED ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE. TRANSMISSION FLUID BLACK AND BURNT. SOUNDS LIKE GEAR JUMPING TEETH.
