2006 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

HONDA DEALER REPLACED AN AIRBAG AND NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. DEALER SAYS I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE MY SRS SYSTEM FOR $800.00. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY HAVE DISTANCED THEMSELVES FROM THE DEALER. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE GM OF TAMPA HONDA, [XXX] AND THE SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] AND THEY BOTH SAY ONE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER. I FEEL THAT I AM A VICTIM OF DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICE BY TAMPA HONDA. I ADVISED THEM THAT I AM CURRENTLY AT RISK DRIVING THE CAR AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THEIR ATTORNEY [XXX] AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING FOR THEM TO DO. I WILL HAVE MY ATTORNEY WRITE THEM A LETTER OF DISCLOSURE THIS WEEK. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE FROM THE NHTSA. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH ON FIRESTONE, AFFINITY TIRES WITH LESS THEN 20,000 MILES ON THEM. WHILE TRAVELING ON DRY, GOOD PAVEMENT THE RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE BLOWOUT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TURN VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN A BAR DITCH. THE TIRE WAS INTACT, BUT HAD CRAWLED OFF THE RIM. TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED TWO DAYS PRIOR AND WAS WELL WITHIN PROPER LIMITS OF THE REQUIRED PSI. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AS A RESULT OF THE BLOWOUT AND CRASH..

PASSENGER AND BOTH BACK WINDOWS JUST STOPPED WORKING. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IN THE PUBLIC FORUMS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF HONDA ACCORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR THAT IS THE ISSUE.

I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 2 MINUTES. I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH IT. MY ENGINE ROARED, BUT DID NOT GO ANYWHERE. SO I LOOKED AROUND, AND CARS WERE UP ON ME, NEARLY REAR-ENDING ME. THEY WERE UPSET THAT I MASHED MY BRAKES, RATHER THAN DRIVING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS FOR THEM TO GO AROUND ME, AS I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IT KEPT ROLLING BACK, REVERSE, IT KEPT ROLLING AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, DRIVE, IT KEPT ROLLING. I HAD TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKES UP TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. AFTER NEARLY GETTING HIT FROM THE REAR NUMEROUS TIMES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS INTO A PARKING LOT AND PARK IT. IT TOOK ME NEARLY 3 HOURS TO FINALLY GET THE CAR TOWED HOME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN FATALITIES AS A RESULT OF THIS. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN WARNED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD OCCUR IN THIS VEHICLE. MY TRANSMISSION PUT ME DOWN. I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT I HAD GOTTEN OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. MY COMPLAINT #: 1-07-825-30. PLEASE, REMEDY THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMETHING MAJOR HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

I RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES FROM HONDA IN THE PAST YEAR AND I CONTACTED LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS FOR FIXING MY PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY WILL LET ME KNOW ONCE THEY HAVE THE PARTS. AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS I CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. THEY SAID I CAN FILE A COMPLAINT. THE DEALER I CONTACTED : GOUDY HONDA, 1400 W MAIN ST, ALHAMBRA, CA 91801

WHILE WAITING TO HAVE OUR AIRBAG RECALL DONE THE SSR LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO OFF AND ON . WE THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE AIRBAG RECALL ON THE VEHICLE . AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE , THE SSR LIGHT CONTINUE TO STAY ON . THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT HONDA SAID IT WAS THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE SEAT THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WOULD COST $290.00 TO FIX THIS. I INVESTIGATED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR THAT DID HAVE RECALLS ON THEM. THE 2006 HONDA ACCORD WAS NOT LISTED FOR A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT, FOUND MANY CUSTOMERS WITH COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. ON NHTSA REPORTS THEY HAD A ARTICLE STATING HONDA RECALLS 81,000.00 ACCORDS OVER AIRBAG SENSOR. THEY WERE RECALLING 2004-05 ACCORD SEDANS. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THIS TO 2006 VEHICLES.

AFTER A 3 MONTH WAIT BACK IN 2014, MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WAS FINALLY REPLACED ON 1/12/15 BY CORAL SPRINGS AUTOMALL HONDA'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. A MONTH AGO I GET ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE ON THE AIRBAG AND SORT OF SKIM OVER IT THINKING I JUST GOT IT REPLACED. I WAS JUST DOUBLE CHECKING THAT ALL SAFETY RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE ON THE CAR WHEN I REALIZED THAT THIS LAST RECALL WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE DEALER SHIP ONLY REPLACED THE INFLATOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE ALSO ARE IN THE SAME BOAT NOT REALIZING HONDA DID NOT BOTHER REPLACING BOTH FRONT SIDE AIR BAGS AND SEEING THIS SECOND NOTICE THAT IT WAS ALREADY FIXED. THERE ARE MANY AVENUES TO ADDRESS THIS AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE NHTSA MAKE A NEWS RELEASE ADDRESSING THIS VERY ISSUE FOR ALL CAR OWNERS - SPECIFICALLY THAT BOTH AIRBAGS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IF YOU PREVIOUSLY TOOK YOUR CAR IN, DEALERSHIPS DID NOT BOTHER TO REPLACE BOTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V370000 (AIR BAGS). BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP, BUT THERE WAS NO INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH AND WAS WAITING FOR THE APPROVAL FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO COMPLETE THE TWO AIR BAG RECALL REPAIRS. THE DRIVER WAS UNINJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
