IN MARCH 2015, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA (NHTSA RECALL 14V-351) ADVISING ME TO HAVE THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR REPLACED AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AT NO COST. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HONDA OF DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES TO SCHEDULE A REPLACEMENT OF MY VEHICLE'S INFLATOR. I WAS TOLD BY THEIR SERVICE CENTER THAT THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN IT ARRIVED. I CALLED BACK TWO WEEKS LATER AS I HAD NOT RECEIVED A CALL AND THEY SAID THEY WERE STILL WAITING ON THE RECALLED PART TO ARRIVE AND ASSURED ME I WOULD GET A CALL. A MONTH LATER I HAD STILL NOT HEARD ANYTHING, SO I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THE PART ARRIVED. NOT UNTIL JULY 2015 DID I GET TWO NEW SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM HONDA (NHTSA RECALL 15V-320 & 15V370). ONE RECALL WAS FOR THE SAME DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR IN ADDITION TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR. I CALLED DIAMOND HONDA OF GLENDALE TO SCHEDULE SERVICE, AND WHILE THE REQUIRED PARTS NEEDED TO BE ORDERED, A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE FOR ONE WEEK LATER. IN SHORT, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA IN MARCH 2015 AND IT TOOK ME CONTACTING TWO DIFFERENT SERVICE CENTERS MULTIPLE TIMES OVER A FOUR MONTH PERIOD TO HAVE THE RECALL APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED. ..

I WAS FOLLOWING TO CLOSE, WHEN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, IT BURNT MY ARM PRETTY BAD, MY ARM FELT LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE, GOT A FEW LACERATIONS, BUT REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS, THAT WAS EXTREMELY HOT AND COULD HAVE CAUSED SOME SEVERE INJURIES, I CANT HAVE MY CARPAL TUNNEL SURGERY THAT WAS SCHEDULED BECAUSE OF THE BURNS, NOT A HAPPY PERSON

I HAVE HAD THREE COOPER TIRES FAIL ALL CS4 MODELS. THE COMPLAINT IS ALL THE SAME, THE TIRE DEVELOPS A SIDE WALL LEAK AND CRACKS LEADING TO LOW PRESSURE AND TIRE FAILURE. EACH ONE FAILED AT 17K,15K & 22K MILES. IN EACH INSTANCE THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME MODEL CS4 COOPER TIRE AND REPEATS THE SAME PROBLEM. EACH ONE WAS ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE OTHER TIRES WHICH ARE NON COOPER TIRES DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND I WILL NO LONGER BUY COOPER TIRES.

WHILE MAKING A TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY, OUR HONDA ACCORD HAD COMPLETE AND CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FRONT BALL JOINT WITH TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING. FRONT AXLE LITERALLY FELL ONTO THE ROADWAY AND FRONT LEFT TIRE WAS PERPENDICULAR TO THE CAR BODY AND KEPT US FROM BOTTOMING OUT. THANKFULLY NO OTHERS CARS IN IMMEDIATE AREA AND WE WERE NOT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE WERE ALSO DRIVING SLOWLY SO NO INJURIES EVEN THOUGH CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE CONTROLLED. CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND THEY SAID THIS IS A UNIQUE PROBLEM AND THAT THIS HAS NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THEIR CARS. HOWEVER MANY, MANY INSTANCES DOCUMENTED ON HONDA FORUMS ON THE WEB.
