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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND.

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

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

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 .
