FRIDAY MORNING (5/15/2015) AROUND 11:00AM I WAS DRIVING IN INTERSTATE WITH MY BROTHER AS PASSENGER AND MY DAUGHTER AT BACK SEATING ON HER CARSEAT. I FOLLOWED A CAR ABOUT 40FT IN FRONT OF ME WITH THE CRUISING SPEED 70MPH. SUDDENLY I SAW A SMALL TIRE FRAGMENT A SIZE OF XBOX CONTROLLER AND CAREFULLY PASSED IN BETWEEN, SECONDS AFTER THERE WAS A LOUD BANG INSIDE THE CAR I THOUGHT THE TIRE WAS BLOWN OUT. I SLOWED DOWN AND PUT ON HAZARD SIGNAL AND MOVED MY CAR SAFELY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I SAFELY MADE A VISUAL CHECK ON MY TIRE, FRONT BUMPER, ANY UNUSUAL BUT EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKOUT, SIDE PASSENGER SEAT BLOWN OUT. DRIVING HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6 YEAR: 2007

MY VEHICLE IS NOTED ON HONDA.COM AS POSSIBLY HAVING AN AIRBAG DEFECT. AIRBAGS MADE BY TAKARTA. WHEN I DID A SEARCH ON THE VIN THE STATUS READ: RECALL INCOMPLETE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS MEANS. DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL? I HEARD ON CHANNEL 9 NEWS IN WASHINGTON, DC TODAY THAT RECENTLY MORE VEHICLES, IN THE MILLIONS, HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THIS RECALL. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

FOLLOWED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE BY HONDA, I MANY TIMES CONTACTED THE DESIGNATED DEALER PACIFIC HONDA, PHONE : 858-694-040, TO LEARN THAT THE PARTS HAVE NOT DELIVERED BY HONDA, AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE 60 DAYS AT LEAST. RESPECTABLY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

WAS DRIVING ON THE 5 FWY AND HEARD A GRINDING SOUND SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. MY CAR THEN WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE. A GROUP OF GENTLEMEN HELPED ME PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND WE PUSHED IT OFF THE SHOULDER TO THE GRAVEL. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TO TAKE ME AND MY CAR 92 MILES TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I SERVICE MY CAR. I HAVE A STELLAR SERVICE RECORD WITH THE HONDA DEALER AND HAVE ONLY DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES PER YEAR. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED TRANSMISSION. THIS IS THE SECOND HONDA ACCORD V6 WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED: I HAD A 1998 AND IT FAILED IN 2006 WITH APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE AS THE 2007.

I HAVE A RED 2007 HONDA ACCORD THAT I'VE ONLY HAD FOR A FEW YEARS AND THE PAINT HAS PEELED ALONG WITH ITS CLEAR COAT MAKING IT LOOK RUSTY ON THE HOOD AND TRUNK OF THE CAR. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S DUE TO THE QUALITY OF PRIMER AND PAINT THAT HONDA USES. I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE FIX THIS ISSUE.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY 2015. THE CAR HAD 2 OR 3 PREVIOUS OWNERS WHO DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF KEEPING UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. THE CAR HAD ALSO JUST BEEN INSPECTED IN SEPTEMBER OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF RELOCATING TO THE WEST COAST WITH MY FIANC. FOUR HOURS AWAY FROM OUR FINAL DESTINATION, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON. I QUICKLY GOT THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT COMPLETELY DIED. MY FIANC AND I HOPPED OUT THE CAR TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD. BY THIS TIME YOU COULD SMELL THE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, BUT A FIRE WAS NOT VISIBLE LOOKING DIRECTLY UNDER THE HOOD. ANOTHER DRIVER, WHO HAPPENED TO BE A FIRE FIGHTER, WHO WAS ON THE SAME HIGHWAY STOPPED AND TOLD US TO BACK AWAY FROM THE CAR BECAUSE THERE WAS A FIRE UNDERNEATH THE CAR. ONCE WE MOVED BACK, WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THE FIRE UNDER THE CAR ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE (IF YOU'RE FACING THE CAR). WE COULD ALSO SEE THAT THE FIRE WAS MELTING SOMETHING. YOU COULD SEE THE SUBSTANCE MELTING TO THE GROUND. THE FIRE FIGHTER CALLED THE POLICE AND INVESTIGATED THE FIRE HIMSELF. HE SAID THAT IT WAS SOME TYPE OF WIRING ISSUE AND THE FIRE DEPT. CONFIRMED THIS AS WELL WHEN THEY FINALLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO INSPECT THE CAR. HE AGAIN STRESSED THE FACT THAT WE NEEDED TO STAY BACK BECAUSE THE CAR COULD BLOW AT ANY MOMENT, WHICH WAS DEVASTATING NEWS BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE OWNED WAS IN THE CAR. THANKFULLY A POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED AND DIFFUSED THE FIRE. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT I DID NOTICE THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION FOR SOME ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS CAR AND I ONLY HAD IT LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE 1 PAYMENT TO MY FINANCE COMPANY. I JUST WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION TO PREVENT ANY OTHER INCIDENTS. *TR
