WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD, ANOTHER DRIVER FAILED TO YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND I HIT HEAD ON AT 45 MPH AT MY DRIVER'S LEFT FRONT TO CENTER FRONT. DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND SEAT BELT WAS BUCKLED, BUT THERE WAS NO TENSION NOR RETRACTION OF MY DRIVER'S SHOULDER SEAT BELT. I WENT ABOVE AIR BAG, INTO AND BROKE WINDSHIELD AND BACK UP AGAIN. SUSTAINED HEAD, NECK, BACK, CHEST AND ARM INJURIES. 2005 HONDA WAS TOTALED BY INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

OUR 2005 HONDA ACCORD SEVERELY OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING IN EXTREMELY CONGESTED TRAFFIC ON A NEARLY 100 DEGREE DAY. THE DEALER, WHERE THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED CONTINUOUSLY SINCE NEW, VERIFIED THAT THERE WAS NO FUSE FOR THE COOLING FAN. THERE IS NO CREDIBLE ANSWER FOR THIS ABSENCE. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2005 HONDA. I JUST RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT THAT REALLY HAS ME CONCERNED. FROM WHAT I'M TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ONE HONDA DEALERSHIP THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE DRIVERSIDE SEAT WAS TOO SHORT AND BROKE. THE SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) LIGHT WENT ON INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THIS APPARENTLY DETECTS WHEN SOMEONE IS LEANING TO FAR FOWARD IN THE SEAT AND WOULD PREVENT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING AND INJURING THEM. THIS DISABLED THE AIRBAG IN MY CAR. NO AIRBAG. NO PROTECTION. THE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THE 2004 HONDA ACCORDS HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE AN 05 AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS IS A PROBLEM HONDA SHOULD FIX IMMEDIATLEY. I'M TOLD THE 05'S HAVE NO RECALLS. I WANT TO BE PROTECTED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS IN ALL THE 05'S. THE SRS WIRING HARNESS SHOULD NOT BE SO DELICATE OR SHORT THAT IT CAN BREAK JUST FROM MOVING YOUR SEAT BACK AND FORTH.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WAS HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND PUSHED ACROSS 3 LANES INTO A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN IT WAS BACKED INTO A LIGHT POLE. THE FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE. THE DRIVER HAD CUTS AND BRUISES; HIS WIFE WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SUFFERED A BROKEN EYE SOCKET AND BRUISES. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, NUMBER OF CYLINDERS AND MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED VEHICLE. UPDATED 07/18/07 *TR

1) THE VEHICLE SHAKES AT HIGH SPEED. 2) THE VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEED SOUNDS LIKE THE WHEEL BEARINGS ARE GRINDING THEMSELVES DOWN 3) THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AT SLOW AND HIGH SPEED BUT MORE SO AT HIGH SPEED WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDDLE 4) THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN AND THE BRAKES. STILL AFTER THE THIRD TIME OF HAVING NEW BRAKES AND WHEEL BEARING THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO VIBRATE TO SUCH A MANNER AS I FEEL IT HIGHLY UNSAFE. *TR

EARLY LAST YEAR THE CAR WOULD NOT START. ACCORDING TO DEALER THE RELAY SWITCH WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN MARCH 2007 HONDA ISSUED A RECALL RELATING TO A DEFECT WITH THE RELAY, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO LOSE POWER, BECOME INOPERATIVE ,AND POSSIBLY LEAVING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE. ACCORDING TO HONDA'S MARCH 13, 2007 LETTER TO MR. DANIEL SMITH AT NHTSA THE VEHICLE FELL INTO THE VIN NUMBERS WHICH WERE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL AS THIS VEHICLE'S VIN WAS, AND THE VIN RANGE GIVEN BY HONDA WAS [XXX] - [XXX]. CURIOUSLY, THIS VEHICLE DID NOT FALL INTO THE ALLEGED DATES OF MANUFACTURING LISTED BY HONDA. MORE SPECIFICALLY, IT APPEARED THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN JANUARY 2005, WHILE THE VEHICLES WITH THE AFFECTED VIN RANGE WERE ALLEGEDLY ONLY MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 13, 2005 - JUNE 15, 2005. I CONTACTED HONDA WITH THIS INFORMATION ,AND WAS ADVISED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, YET MY RELAY HAD FAILED A YEAR EARLIER. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE VIN NUMBERS LISTED BY HONDA TO BE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL DID NOT MATCH UP WITH THE ALLEGED DATES OF MANUFACTURING LISTED BY HONDA, THEREBY CALLING INTO QUESTION THE TRUE NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT CONTAINED THIS SERIOUS, SAFETY RELATED DEFECT WHICH WARRANTED A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE FROM NHTSA TO CONTACT ME ON THIS PROBLEM. *AK UPDATED 07/10/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
