ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I'VE EXPERIENCED MY CAR PULLING ITSELF TO DRIVE FORWARD WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER STARTED THE VEHICLE, IT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 203,563.

SRS INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED UPON UNBUCKLING DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WITH ENGINE RUNNING. SRS LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON AFTER PLACING SEAT BELT BACK INTO THE BUCKLE. THE SRS LIGHT WOULD ALSO ILLUMINATE AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING WITH SEAT BELT IN BUCKLE. THE ONLY TEMPORARY SOLUTION WAS TO STOP/START THE ENGINE. HONDA'S DIAGNOSIS WAS A FAULTY SEAT BELT BUCKLE REQUIRING A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT WHICH RESOLVED THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR THE LIFETIME SEAT BELT WARRANTY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

AIR BAG RED ICON KEPT COMING ON ON DASH AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED FOR OVER A YEAR. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HONDA DOES NOT CONSIDER LONG ISLAND, NY, A HUMID TERRITORY. HONDA NEEDS TO VISIT LONG ISLAND TO SEE HOW HUMID IT IS. THIS CAR MUST BE USED FOR A ROAD TEST NEXT WEEK AND I MUST NOW PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THE ICON OFF PERMANENTLY AND THE PROBLEM FIXED, AS WELL AS HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPLACED TO ENSURE THEY ARE GOOD. I WOULD LIKE TO GET REIMBURSED. THANK YOU. *JS

THE CLEAR COAT STARTED FALLING OFF MY 05 HONDA ACCORD AT AROUND 105000 MILES (AROUND NOVEMBER OF 2012). HONDA REFUSED TO REPAINT THE VEHICLE BLAMING THE ISSUE ON THE OWNER'S POOR CARE. HOWEVER, IT IS CLEAR THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE OWNER, BUT RATHER WITH THE PAINT HONDA USES. THIS IS EVIDENCED BY THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN WHICH HONDA EXTENDED THE PAINT WARRANTY FOR SEVEN YEARS ON THEIR ODYSSEYS FOR DARKER COLORS INCLUDING "MIDNIGHT PEARL." IT HAPPENS THAT THIS IS THE SAME COLOR WHICH IS CURRENTLY "MELTING" OFF MY 05 ACCORD. HONDA SHOULD NOT BE MAKING OWNERS PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAINT THEIR VEHICLES AFTER OWNING THEM FOR ONLY A FEW YEARS BEFORE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. *TR

MY DAUGHTER REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR AT VERY LOW SPEED CAUSING MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER AND A SLIGHT DENT IN THE HOOD. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY, OR MORE ACCURATELY TO "DETONATE" SENDING HOT METAL AND PLASTIC SHRAPNEL INTO THE CABIN. AS A RESULT OF THIS MINOR ACCIDENT MY DAUGHTER SUSTAINED SEVERE BURNS, BRUISES AND ABRASIONS ON HER ARMS AND LEGS. HONDA ADMITS THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT DESIGNED WITH THIS IN MIND BUT REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OTHER THAN TO PRESENT ME WITH A BILL FOR $3700.00. THERE IS NO DENYING THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS AT FAULT IN THE ACCIDENT BUT HER INJURIES AND THE EXCESSIVE DAMAGE (THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN WAS BLOWN APART) WERE ONLY DUE TO HONDA'S FAULTY AIRBAG AND SAFETY DESIGN FOR WHICH THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. ....

ON THE DASH BOARD, A RED LIGHT OF AIRBAG WITH A PASSENGER SIGN COMES UP AND STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES, IT MAY COME RIGHT AFTER THE ENGINE START AND STAY. SOMETIMES, THE LIGHT WOULD NOT COME. WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED IN 2012,THE RED LIGHT APPEARANCE WAS INFREQUENT. NOW, IT IS ALMOST CONSTANT. ONLY OCCASIONALLY, IT MAY DISAPPEAR. *TR
