TAKATA RECALL MY CAR WAS BOUGHT IN FLORIDA AND IS IN PRIORITY GROUP 1. HOWEVER, IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. HOW DO I GET HONDA TO RECALL THE CAR AND REPLACE THE AIRBAGS?

HI! AS YOU CAN SEE, I AM AN OWNER OF A HONDA ACCORD 2003. I HAVE RECENTLY TAKEN IT FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. WHILE I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODEL, HAD SOME OTHER ISSUES OR RECALLS TOO. FOR EXAMPLE, THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. HIS CAUGHT MY ATTENTION SINCE I THINK I DO HAVE A PROBLEM PROBABLY RELATED TO IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MAY LAST YEAR, FROM AN ACQUAINTANCE, AND SOON AFTER, I NOTICED A SHAKING IN THE GAS PEDAL, EVERY TIME I WAS ACCELERATING BETWEEN 25 TO 35 MPH (CITY AND HIGHWAY). THE SHAKING ALWAYS GO AWAY WHEN I STOP SPEEDING IT FOR A SECOND, AND THEN CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN. IT FIRST, AND BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE TURN ON, I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC. WELL, I DID IT AND...THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. AM I IN DANGER HERE?. OK, I WILL WAIT FOR YOUR RESPONSE. IN THE MEANTIME, AS MIGHT UNDERSTAND, I WILL DOCUMENT THIS REQUEST, JUST IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING ON AN ICY ROAD AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE SLID OFF THE HIGHWAY, OVER AN EMBANKMENT, AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRASH WAS WEATHER RELATED AND INVOLVED A LOT OF VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED ONLY MINOR SCRAPES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY WHO DECLARED THE VEHICLE AS DESTROYED AND TOWED IT AWAY.

NOVEMBER 30, 2016 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND SLIPPING. ON DECEMBER 1, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND A REPAIR WAS DONE. THE NEXT DAY. DECEMBER 2 THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE FAILURE OF THIS CLASS OF TRANSMISSIONS IS DOCUMENTED THROUGH RECALLS. MY TRANSMISSION AT THE TIME OF RECALL HAD NEW COOLING LINES AND KITS INSTALLED. NO INSPECTION WAS DONE BY CAMERA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED FAILURES WITH THE WINDOW MOTORS, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS, AND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS REPAIRED. THE OTHER TWO DOORS AND WINDOW MOTORS WERE NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

AFTER BEING SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF TIMING BELT AND DRIVE BELT, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. WHEN I PRESS ON GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE INTO GEAR WHEN DRIVING AT CITY SPEED OR HIGHWAY MERGING. THE MECHANIC SAID THE TRANSIMISSION IS BAD. THE CAR HAS ONLY 63K MILES. AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THE 2003 HONDA ACCORD V6 HAS THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT RECALL SINCE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUES. WELL, DRIVING AT 70 AND MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WOULD GO CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *JS

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. SUDDEN DECELERATION CAUSED BY TRANSMISSION. VERY LUCKY NOT TO BE REAR ENDED. *JS

TAKATA RECALL: AN INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH PERIODICALLY INDICATES A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO LIGHT UP AND IT DOES EVENTUALLY TURN OFF. MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS, WHILE I BELIEVE I HAVE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THIS HAPPENS RATHER IN MOTION OR STATIONARY AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN IN WARMER WEATHER.
