I HAD PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT 7/31/2013. ID NUMBER: 10532958. DUE TO THE RECENT RECALL OF AIR BAGS HONDA HAD PURCHASED BY A CERTAIN MANUFACTURER AND THE TIME FRAME BEING ALLOWED TO HONDA TO RECTIFY, I FELT THE NEED TO UPDATE MY COMPLAINT. THE IMPACT TO THE CAR IN FROM WAS SO MINIMAL THEY DID NOT HAVE A DENT, OUR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT 30-35 MPH, READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, YES THE SOUND WAS HORRIFIC, LIKELY TO HITTING A BRICK WALL, THE SEAT BELT TENSION ROD SNAPPED AT THE IMPACT, MY EYELASHES WERE BURNT AND AT THE TIME I REPORTED THE COMPLAINT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT I HAD SUFFERED TWO HERNIATE DISC'S FROM THIS. FAR WORSE, ONE DISC HAD HERNIATED SO BADLY IT WAS PRESSING AGAINST MY SPINAL CORD, I WAS AT A 50% RISK OF BECOMING COMPLETELY PARALYZED. I HAD CERVICAL DISC REMOVAL SURGERY. TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, EITHER EXPLODING WITHOUT CAUSE WITH DEBRIS AND CHEMICAL CAUSING INJURIES AND OR NOT OPERATING AT ALL, PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE, HONDA SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THEIR TIME IN ASSESSING THESE TYPES OF DAMAGES. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING 40-45 MPH I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHICH CAUSED MY AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. I SUFFERED SEVERE BURNS ON BOTH OF MY HANDS CAUSED BY A POWDERY SUBSTANCE EMITTED FROM THE AIRBAG. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE HIT BY A DRIVER WHO WENT THRU A RED ARROW. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS HIT ON DRIVERS SIDE FROM THE HEAD LIGHT PAST THE REAR DOOR. BOTH THE WINDOWS WERE BROKEN ON DRIVER'S SIDE THERE WAS GLASS EVERYWHERE, DAMAGE WAS EXTENSIVE. THE DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGERS DUAL-STAGE AIRBAGS, DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAGS AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED. THE SEAT BELT ON PASSENGER SIDE DID NOT TIGHTEN UP WENT PASSENGER WAS THRUST FORWARD. THE MAGNITUDE AND FORCE OF THE CRASH CAUSED ABRUPT JERKING TO OUR HEADS AND NECKS. THE RANGE OF MOTION IN MY NECK IS VERY LIMITED I CANNOT TURN HEAD TO SEE BLIND SPOTS OR BACK OUT OF PARKING SPOTS WHEN DRIVING. WE BOTH HAVE DISC PROBLEMS TO OUR BACK AND NECK CAUSING US DIFFICULTY WHEN WALKING, STANDING OR SITTING AND IN OUR EVERY DAY LIVING. IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED OUR INJURIES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO EXTENSIVE AND OUR LIVES WOULD BE BETTER.THE CAR WAS REPAIRED USING SOME USED PARTS COSTING $12,000.00 TO REPAIR. I FEEL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. SIX AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A MAJOR CAR CRASH AND SOMEONE COULD BE DRIVING THIS CAR TODAY. WE BOUGHT THIS HONDA BECAUSE OF ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES BUT THEY FAILED TO WORK. *TR

AFTER A WEEK LONG PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN, THREE OUT OF FOUR POWER WINDOW SWITCHES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED. IT SEEMS LIKE THE 'MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH' MAY HAVE SHORTED OUT. ALL WINDOWS EXCEPT THE DRIVER'S WINDOW FAIL TO OPEN NOW FROM ANY WINDOW SWITCH IN THE ENTIRE CAR. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, PEOPLE REPORT THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS GENERATION OF ACCORDS (2003-2007). HONDA HAS ALSO RECALLED THE HONDA FIT 2007-2008 FOR THIS SAME REASON/PART.

ENGINE MOUNTS ARE CRACKED. WHEN CHECKING THE INTERNET THERE ARE A HIGH NUMBER OF INCIDENTS. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL TO HAVE THE CRACKED MOUNTS FIXED ! *TR

MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD HAD STARTING PROBLEM, AND THE ENGINE STALLED WHEN I BACKED UP SOMETIMES,ESPECIALLY WHEN IN HOT CONDITION. IT WILL EVENTUALLY STARTED AFTER 3 OR 4 TIME WHEN I TRIED TO STARTED. THE MECHANIC DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH STARTER OR BATTERY, BUT I CHANGE IT ANYWAY FOR MY SAFETY; THE PROBLEM STILL THERE. AFTER RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET, I CHANGED THE IGNITION WITCH; THE PROBLEM SOLVED. HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS. MY CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF WHEN I BACKED UP A FEW TIMES NOT IN FORWARD. HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT HAPPEN IN FORWARD CONDITION TO ANY DRIVERS. *TR
