DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ENTERED CALDECOTT TUNNEL IN BERKELEY, CA. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO AND THE RPMS SHOT UP TO 6500. I HAD NOWHERE TO GO AS I WAS IN A 2 LANE TUNNEL. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND SLOWED TO A STOP. THIS FREEWAY HAS A VERY HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC AND I WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET CREAMED BY SOMEONE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT THAT CAME ON. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. I WAS "PULLED" OUT OF THE TUNNEL BY A VERY NICE MAN WHO STOPPED TO HELP ME. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO TELLS ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DONE. THIS IS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD V6 AND AFTER RESEARCHING, I SEE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. I PLAN ON CALLING HONDA TO SEE WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

DRIVING SOUTH ON I 81 AT APPROXIMATELY MM 167.3. HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE, THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE HAD A BLOW OUT. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL SO I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE AND I PULLED OFF ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. NO FLAT, NOTHING BURNING, NO DAMAGE TO CAR. GOT BACK IN MY CAR AND REALIZED PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS FROM FRONT TO BACK HAD DEPLOYED, THAT IS WHAT I WAS SMELLING BUT AT THE TIME I DID NOT REALIZE MY AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. I WAS ALONE BUT THERE IS A CHILD CAR SEAT IN MY BACKSEAT AND IF ONE OF MY GRANDCHILDREN HAD BEEN IN THE CAR SEAT OR A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY INJURED. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE PROVIDED ME A LOANER VEHICLE AT NO COST TO ME. THEY DID CALL THIS MORNING TO VERIFY THAT I HAD NOT RAN OVER ANYTHING OR HIT ANYTHING. THERE IS NOT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY WOULD GIVE ME A CALL ONCE THEY FIGURED THIS ALL OUT. I AM NOW WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE. *TR

VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE (ALONG WITH STEERING WHEEL) WHILE BRAKING AT ANY SPEED OVER 45 MPH. HAPPENS DURING ALL DIFFERENT DRIVING CONDITIONS AND ROAD CONDITIONS. *TR

HONDA REPLACED THE TAKATA DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG ON MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD IN JANUARY 2015 UNDER THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. HOWEVER, HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE THE TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY CAR. I DO NOT LIVE IN A HIGH HUMIDITY STATE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DECISION BY HONDA NOT TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AS THERE ARE NEWS REPORTS OF INJURY TO A PASSENGER FROM A TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IN 2013. NHTSA NEEDS TO ORDER HONDA TO REPLACE THE TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ON AFFECTED HONDA CARS BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS INJURED. *TR
