2002 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TAKATA RECALL- I PURCHASED A USED 2002 HONDA ACCORD TODAY, 7/31/2019. WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND STARTED THE CAR, I NOTICED THE SRS LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LOOKS TO BE PARTIALLY INFLATED UNDER THE DASH. THE AIRBAG IS NOT DEPLOYED BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE OVER TIME IT HAS INFLATED UNDER THE DASH. CURRENTLY THERE ARE 6 RECALLS RELATED TO AIRBAG MODULES IN THE YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE, YET FOR SOME REASON THIS WEBSITE SAYS MY VIN# IS NOT INCLUDED. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS AIRBAG ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE, IF I WERE TO EVER WRECK, I WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT BECAUSE OF A FAULTY RECALLED AIRBAG MODULE THAT WAS JUST SKIPPED OVER.

CAR DELAYED GEAR WHEN OTHER CAR WAS BEHIND ME ALMOST CAUSED A SMALL RECK IN HIGHWAY

VERY UNUSUAL PATTERN OF TREAD BREAKDOWN ON FEDERAL FORMOZA FD1 PASSENGER CAR TIRES NOTED. NOTE THIS IS NOT THE "SUPER STEEL" MODEL INDICATED IN THE DATABASE ENTRY. THE DIALOGUE DID NOT PROVIDE "FORMOZA" MODELS FOR SELECTION. TREAD WEAR INDICATED OVER 3/4 OF TREAD LIFE REMAINING (CAR WAS RARELY USED), BUT CAR WAS PARKED OUTDOORS IN TEXAS, AND TIRES WERE 9 YEARS OLD. BREAKDOWN OF TREAD NOT LIKELY CAUSED BY WEAR, BUT RATHER MORE LIKELY RUBBER COMPOUND DETERIORATION OR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THE TREAD DEVELOPED FISSURES LATERALLY ACROSS THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE TREAD (NOT EXTENDING INTO THE TREAD SHOULDER), EVENLY SPACED WITH A FISSURE EVERY 3/8THS OF AN INCH AROUND THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRES. DEPTH OF FISSURES UNKNOWN. NO EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE TIRES OR CAR CAN ACCOUNT FOR THIS BIZARRE PATTERN. THE TIRES WERE JUDGED UNSAFE AND REPLACED. PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN OF THE PATTERN OF DAMAGE TO THE TIRES, AS WELL AS THEIR IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS.
