2005 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS A CODE WHICH READ 6110 PERTAINING TO AN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE LEFT FRONT SEAT BUCKLE SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME, I FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. I HIT THE CORNER OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND MY FRONT LEFT AND KINDA IN THE MIDDLE (HOOD AREA) WAS SMASHED IN ALMOST TO MY WINDSHIELD. NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED & I HIT MY FACE ON THE STEELING WHEEL CAUSING MY TEETH TO GO THROUGH MY BOTTOM LIP & BROKE MY NOSE. INSURANCE CLAIMED IT AS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V351000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH OF 2014. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE.

MY 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 65. FOR NO REASON AT ALL, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS EXPLODED CAUSING A QUICK REACTION UNDER EXTREME FEAR. HONDA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BUT THE LOCAL DEALER "SOUTHPOINT HONDA" HAS BEEN RUDE & ACCUSATORY THAT HONDA IS NOT AT FAULT. THE HONDA RECALL FOR AIRBAGS IS EXPANDING, YET NO HELP. HIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IS PARKED. FOR A SINGLE FATHER THIS IS CAUSING GREAT HARDSHIP, NOT TO MENTION THE INJURY THAT MIGHT OF OCCURRED TO MY ONLY CHILD! THE EXCUSES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!! *TR

NOTHING HAPPENED. DURING THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THE AIRBAG (RED LIGHT) INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD WARNING SYSTEM AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS IS INTERMITTENT, BUT CERTAINLY A CAUSE FOR CONCERN BASED ON THE RECENT RECALLS. WHO WILL FIX THIS FOR ME? *TR

I HAVE SEEN THE RECALLS FOR TAKATA AIR BAGS DUE TO INJURIES AND DEATHS ONCE DEPLOYED OF WHICH MY MODEL CAR IS ON THE LIST OF RECALLED VEHICLES. HOWEVER, I DO NOT LIVE IN ONE OF THE STATES THAT IS ON THE RECALL LIST, SO MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON THE ISSUE, I FOUND AN ARTICLE ON THIS WEBSITE, HTTP://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/ABOUT+NHTSA/PRESS+RELEASES/VEHICLE-OWNERS-WITH-DEFECTIVE-AIRBAGS-URGED-TO-TAKE-IMMEDIATE-ACTION, WITH A QUOTE, "RESPONDING TO THESE RECALLS, WHETHER OLD OR NEW, IS ESSENTIAL TO PERSONAL SAFETY AND IT WILL HELP AID OUR ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO TAKATA AIRBAGS AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM RELATED TO EXTENDED EXPOSURE TO CONSISTENTLY HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER, WE'RE LEAVING NO STONE UNTURNED IN OUR AGGRESSIVE PURSUIT TO TRACK DOWN THE FULL GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE," SAID NHTSA DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR [XXX] ." SINCE IT BASICALLY STATES THAT HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE ARE THE CAUSES OF THE FAILURES, I DID AN ONLINE RESEARCH FOR THE AVERAGE HUMIDITY LEVELS WITHIN MY STATE ONLY TO FIND THEM IN LINE WITH THE STATES THAT ARE ON THE RECALL LIST. I FURTHER RESEARCHED THE AVG HUMIDITY LEVELS AND TEMPS OF ALL 50 STATES TO FIND THAT THE HUMIDITY LEVELS OF THE STATES ON THE RECALL LIST ARE LOWER THAN ABOUT 26 OTHER STATES. TO VALIDATE MY FINDINGS, I LOOKED UP THE SAME INFORMATION ON SEVERAL UNRELATED WEBSITES. ONE INTERESTING NOTE, THE AVG. HUMIDITY IN CA (NOT MY STATE) IS HIGHER THAN THESE STATES AND AVG. TEMP. IS ONLY 3 DIFFERENT THAN SC. BASED OFF OF MY INITIAL FINDINGS, I FEEL THAT WHOMEVER IS DETERMINING WHICH VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED SHOULD BE MORE CLEAR ON HOW THEY DETERMINE WHICH VEHICLES ARE SELECTED FOR RECALL. I AM NOW VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR AND WILL CONSIDER REPLACEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS LINKED TO DEATHS, I WANT CLARITY ON THIS INFORMATION ASAP.

I THINK THE POINT OF FILED COMPLAINTS SHOULD NOT ONLY BE REFLECTIVE BUT PROACTIVE. THAT WAY, HOPEFULLY, BOTH THE FEDS AND THE MANUFACTURERS CAN GET AHEAD OF ISSUES BEFORE THEY COME TRAGIC AND/OR COSTLIER. THAT BEING SAID, I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2005 HONDA ACCORD WHICH IS ON THE RECALL LIST REGARDING THE TAKATA AIR BAG FLAW. THERE IS NO RECALL THOUGH, SIMPLY BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT REGISTERED IN ONE OF THE 'HUMID STATES' THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I SUSPECT IT IS A CALCULATED PLOY TO ALLOW TAKATA TO TRIAGE THE MOST PRESSING RECALLS FIRST AND THEN OPEN THE RECALL. THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT IF THIS IS THE CASE, IT SHOULD BE COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC INSTEAD OF MAKING US FEEL A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY WITH A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. WHEN WILL ALL 2005 HONDA ACCORDS RECEIVE THE BLESSING TO BE RECALLED??? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WITH IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING OUR HONDA, THE CLUTCH WENT OUT. WE PAID $2700 TO DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. EVER SINCE THEN THE CLUTCH OR RELATED PARTS SUCH AS THE MASTER CYLINDER GOES OUT SUDDENLY EVERY 12 MONTHS. *TR

HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS NHTSA ID NUMBER 10651654 FROM 10/31/2014-- AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON AT DASH BUT THERE ISN'T ANY RECALL LISTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

LIGHT HAS COME ON AT DASH, HOWEVER, THE RECALL DOES NOT HAVE THIS VEHICLE LISTED. WHAT GIVES? *TR
