I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND ITS LOOK LIKE THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

MY HUSBAND WAS ON HIS WAY HOME WHEN HIS LEFT TURN LIGHT TURNED GREEN. A LADY RAN THE RED LIGHT AND T-BONED OUR CAR. THE CAR IS TOTALED. MY HUSBAND SUFFERED INJURIES, WAS KNOCKED OUT AND HAS CONCUSSION. NOT ONE OF THE AIR BAGS WENT OFF AND OUR CAR WAS LOADED WITH BAGS IN FRONT AND BACK SEATS. IT IS THE REASON WHY WE PURCHASED THE CAR. WE CALLED "HONDA AMERICA" AND ALL THEY DID WAS LISTEN AND TOLD US TO CONTACT OUR DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THE DEALER LAUGHED AND TOLD US THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE CAR. HONDA AMERICA TOLD US TO ALSO HAVE OUR INSURANCE COMPANY FIGURE OUT WHEN HAPPENED. WE TALKED TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY SAID THEY COULD WRAP THE HONDA AND SEND IT TO HONDA AMERICA, "BUT" HONDA AMERICA SAID THEY DON'T HAVE A PLACE FOR THE HONDA TO BE LOOKED AT. "HONDA AMERICA" NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!!! CALLED AN ACCIDENT ATTORNEY TO DEAL WITH HONDA AMERICA. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DOWNSHIFTING, THE GEARS SHIFTED VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 121,124.

I BOUGHT MY 2006 ACCORD V6 AUTO NOT QUITE 4 YEARS AGO AS A 2 YEAR OLD, OFF LEASE BEAUTIFUL, GENTLY USED MODEL WITH 38,000 MILES. AROUND 85,000 MILES I NOTED THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT ABRUPTLY/HARD. I HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUID SERVICE COMPLETED AND THIS SEEMED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE ABRUPT SHIFTS STARTED AGAIN AROUND 128,000 MILES. NOW AT 130,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED. AFTER A 65 MILE TRIP, THE CAR WOULD NOT GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THE ENGINE REVVED AND REVVED, BUT WOULD NOT SHIFT. AFTER A 5 MINUTE REST, THE CAR WOULD NOT EVEN GO INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED 45 MINUTES LATER, THE CAR DID MANAGE TO GO INTO REVERSE AND DRIVE TO GET THE CAR ALIGNED WITH THE FLAT BED. THE RESULT FROM AN INDEPENDENT HONDA SPECIALIST: $3932.74 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. A CALL TO STEVENSON HONDA, WHO DID NOT LOOK AT THE CAR, QUOTED $4200 FOR A "REMANUFACTURED" TRANSMISSION. NOT SURE HOW HONDA COULD CONTINUE TO BUILD THIS TRANSMISSION AND INSTALL IN THEIR TOP OF THE LINE MODEL AFTER KNOWING THERE WERE PROBLEMS AS EARLY AS 2003, IN THIS SPECIFIC MODEL. I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT MY PLAN OF ACTION IS AFTER CALLING HONDA 800-999-1009 TO COMPLAIN. I DON'T HAVE $4000 LAYING AROUND. *TR

ROAD DEBRIS ON A HIGHWAY SO SMALL WE DIDN'T HEAR A THING CAUSED A HOLE TO BE PUNCTURED IN MY AC CONDENSER. ACCORDING TO NUMEROUS SITES, THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW WITH VARIOUS YEAR MODEL ACCORDS, AS THE CONDENSER IS EXPOSED AND NOT PROTECTED BY ANYTHING. THE CONDENSER WAS JUST PUT IN BY HONDA IN 2011 AND THEY WON'T HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY ROAD DEBRIS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNOWN FACT THAT THIS HAPPENS FAR TOO FREQUENTLY TO THE ACCORDS. *TR

MY SRS LIGHT INDICATING A MALFUNCTIONING OF THE FRONT AIRBAGS CAME UP JUST WHEN I CLOSED THE DASHBOARD CABIN. WHEN REPORTED THIS TO HONDA DEALER THEY SAY IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW IT CAME UP AS THIS LIGHT SHOULD ONLY TURN ON INCASE OF ACCIDENT. NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY $1100 - $1200 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SRS UNIT. PLEASE SUGGEST. *TR
