2006 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THIS IS THE THIRD DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON THIS CAR THAT HAS FAILED. I KNOW THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION AGAINST HONDA FOR LATER MODEL YEAR ACTUATORS BUT IT DID NOT ENCOMPASS 2006. THE SAFETY PROBLEM IS THAT IF A PERSON WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE LOCKED CAR IN A HURRY THE ELECTRICAL LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON WOULDN'T UNLOCK THE CAR. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED TO THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, THEN IN 2009 THE RIGHT REAR FAILED AND NOW IN 2015 THE RIGHT FRONT FAILED. I THINK BECAUSE OF THE FREQUENCY OF FAILURE THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM POSSIBLY AN EXTENSION OF THE DESIGN PROBLEMS THAT LEAD TO THE LATER MODEL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURES.

I STARTED THE CAR AND RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS NOT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE REPAIRED IT FOR ME AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $400.00(TO THE BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION).

I BACKUP UP IN A PARKING LOT AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE THE CAR WENT FULL THROTTLE IN REVERSE AND HIT A CEMENT STRUCTURE BEHIND ME AND KEPT HITTING IT. MY BRAKES DID NOTHING TO STOP THE REPEATED COLLISIONS SO I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND IT WENT FULL THROTTLE ACROSS THE PARKING LOT AND WAS GOING TO GO OFF A CLIFF AND YET I HAD NO BRAKES. THE ONLY CONTROL I HAD WAS STEERING. I WAS GOING WITH A FULL THROTTLE AND MANAGED TO STEER AWAY FROM THE CLIFF AND A BUILDING AND HEADED TOWARDS A CHAIN LINK FENCE TO TRY TO STOP MY TRAVEL. IT DID NOT STOP ME BECAUSE THE CAR WAS GOING SO FAST. IT WENT THROUGH THE FENCE AND THE YARD AND THEN THROUGH THE NEXT FENCE AND WAS THEN AIRBORNE BETWEEN THE TREES TILL I HIT THE GROUND AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE WHICH WAS ABOUT 15 FEET LOWER. THEN CONTINUED TO SPEED ACROSS A FIELD TILL IT GOT CAUGHT IN A DITCH. I HAD NO BRAKES DURING THE ENTIRE INCIDENT...UPDATED 08/27/15 *BF UPDATED 12/3/15 *JS

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY NEIGHBOOD IN A 25 MPH ZONE AND HIT A MAIL TRUCK ON THE WRONG SIDE IF THE ROAD. I HIT THE MAIL TRUCK AFTER TURNING A CORNER, AS I TURNED THE CORNER, A SPIDER CRAWLED FROM THE CEILING OF MY CAR AND I TRIED TO SWAT IT AWAY AND DIDN'T SEE THE MAIL TRUCK. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY BUT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG WAS DELAYED, IT DID NOT HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY BUT A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE IMPACT CAUSING BAD BURNS AND BLISTERS TO MY HAND. I DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION BUT DOCTORED ON MY HAND MYSELF; IT TOOK MONTHS BEFORE THE APPEARANCE IF MY HAND WOULD LOOK NORMAL. I HAVE PICTURES. THE REPAIR SHOP, TOW TRUCK AND POLICE OFFICER COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN THE FIRST PLACE WITH SUCH LOW SPEED. IT TOOK MONTHS TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED, LONGER THAN NORMAL. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR. THE RECENT RECALLS HAVE CAUSED ME TO WRITE THIS, I HAD NO IDEA THE AIRBAGS WERE DEFECTIVE. IT WAS A VERY BIG INCONVIENIENCE TO ME.
