2006 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I HAVE HAD THE AIRBAGS CHECKED AND REPLACED AT BRANDON HONDA AND I GOT AN AIRBAG LIGHT THAT WON'T GO OFF AND AM WORRIED ABOUT MAYBE SIDE AIRBAG PROBLEMS AND WON'T GET A CALL BACK FROM BRANDON HONDA IN BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA TO GET IT CHECKED OUT OR REPAIRED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN OPERATION. *TR

DRIVER SEAT POSITION SENSOR HARNESS IS DAMAGED. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS NOTED IN 2004 TO 2005 RECALLED ACCORDS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING ERRATICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V395000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE LANE, PROBABLY AROUND 20-25MILES THROUGH THE TRAFFIC. I WAS TRYING TO TURN LITTLE TOWARDS RIGHT BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED IN STEERING WHEEL (LOCKED/STUCK - I DO NOT KNOW) BUT THE CAR DIDN'T TURN. THE TRUCK/VAN COMING FROM OTHER DIRECTION AND MY CAR CRASHED. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO SAFETY. I WAS TAKEN TO EMERGENCY FROM THE CRASH SITE. AFTER 2ND VISIT TO HOSPITAL I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A RIB FRACTURE. I REACHED OUT TO HONDA AMERICA REGARDING THIS AND THEY SAID SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO BE INSPECTED THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING REGARDING THIS MATTER. I URGE NHTSA TO INQUIRE FURTHER IN 2006 HONDA ACCORD STEERING ISSUE SINCE I SURVIVED A FATAL ACCIDENT, OTHER MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO. IF YOU NEED FURTHER DETAILS PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME.

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED DURING MY MORNING COMMUTE. THERE WAS NO COLLISION, NO POTHOLE, NO BUMP, AND NO SUDDEN STOP. THERE WAS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THE SUDDEN EXPLOSION CAUSED ME TO SWERVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A BRIDGE, BUT THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED.

CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA & LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH NC TO FIX SRS SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON HONDA ACCORD. THEY SAID I HAVE TO PAY $138.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND $475.00 FOR A PART THAT IS IN THE STEERING WHEEL CONNECTED TO THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. VEHICLE WAS ALREADY SERVICED BY LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH AND THE RED LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHILE DRIVING OUT OF LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH PARKING LOT. WHAT IS EVEN WORSE IS THAT THE 2006 HONDA ACCORD WAS BEING SERVICED TODAY 02/07/2020 AT THE LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH DEALERSHIP FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THE WHOLE SYSTEM NOT JUST RANDOM PARTS. THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS & THEN TRIED TO CHARGE MY WIFE ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO MAKE EXTRA MONEY (VERY DISHONEST). WHEN I CALLED HONDA NORTH AMERICA THEY JUST SAID IT WAS BETWEEN MYSELF & LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN BOTH HONDA NORTH AMERICA & ESPECIALLY LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH FOR TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A FEMALE. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS SITUATION AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE KNOW WAY TO KNOW IF MY AIRBAG WILL FUNCTION IN AN EMERGENCY. BOTH LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH AND HONDA NORTH AMERICA NEED TO HELP PEOPLE. NOT EVERYONE CAN SPEND $600.00 ON A CAR THAT IS WORTH ONLY ABOUT $1,00.00 THEY DID THE MINIMUM REQUIRED WORK OF THE AIRBAG RECALL AND LET HER GO-LIKE IF THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT THE SRS PROBLEM IT WILL JUST GO AWAY. HOW DO THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. 71-10 PERMANENT FAULT CODE; OPEN CIRCUIT IN DRIVERS SEAT POSITION SENSOR. AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED BECAUSE OF THIS.

I TOOK MY CAR FOR THE RECALL AND NOW THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AND OCCASIONALLY WILL STAY ON. I TAKE IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED ME $150 FOR DIAGNOSTIC TO SAY IT'S A SHORT OR SOMETHING NOW IN THE SAME PASSENGER AIR BAG THEY INSTALLED. IT WILL COST $300 TO FIX. SEEMS LIKE OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE SO IS THIS A SCAM? THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AND I NEED A REFUND OF THE MONEY I'VE PAID.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL #11V395000, HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT LISTED AS BEING AFFECTED BY THAT RECALL. I CONTACT HONDA USA DIRECTLY, OPENED A CASE #10120384, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE VEHICLE IS MAKING A NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY LOSES ALL POWER, THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED SO FAR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED BY THE 2011 RECALL FOR THE PCM, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE ALSO INDICATES THE PCM IS AT FAULT, HOWEVER BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL ANY FIX MUST BE DONE OUT OF POCKET. THE ISSUES HAPPENING ARE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, BECAUSE OF THIS IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ADDITIONAL VINS MIGHT HAVE NEEDED TO BE INCLUDED.

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS THE STEERING GET TIGHT AND STIFF FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN IT'S FINE. THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS BLACK BUT NOT LEEKING.
