2003 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I WAS LEAVING A FRIENDS HOUSE AT NIGHT ON DECEMBER 28 AND WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON NONE OF THE LIGHTS IN THE CENTER CONSUL LIT UP. I COULDN'T SEE THE RADIO TO OPERATE IT NOR THE TIME. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO OPERATE IN TRYING TO SELECT CLIMATE CONTROL. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY OF THE SELECTIONS FOR A HOT COLD, THE ABILITY TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE FLOW OF THE HEAT, SELECTING WHICH ITEM TO USE SUCH AS THE DEFROST BUTTON. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED FROM A STATIONARY POSITION. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS WAS A NEW VEHICLE TO MYSELF IT MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT AFTER I LEFT HIS FRIENDS HOUSE. IN PARTICULARLY BECAUSE I NEED IT TO CHANGE THE DEFROST AS I WAS DRIVING, AND I COULDN'T SEE WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SELECT. ADDITIONALLY, SINCE I CANNOT SEE THE TIME, I HAVE TO USE OTHER MEANS SUCH AS A PHONE OR WATCH WHICH I'M SURE CAUSES DISTRACTED DRIVING.

CARBON MONOXIDE COMES INTO MY CAR - HONDA REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FOUR TIMES - I WAS ALREADY INJURED FROM MY PRIOR 1990 LEXUS 250ES WHEN MY DANGEROUS AIRBAG EXPLODED POINT BLANK INTO MY NECK AND HEAD. MAT AIRBAG HAD NO TETHER. FIVE C-SPIN SURGERIES AND I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO WORK AS A SURGEON OR AT ALL. THIS WAS NEVER RECALLED BUT I STILL HAVE THAT CAR. AIRBAGS ARE NOT SAFE. THERE SHOULD BE H-BELTS THAT ARE SAFE. SODIUM AZIDE CAUSES CANCER. REGARDING MY 2003 HONDA - I ALREADY HAD THE AIRBAGS RECALLED THREE TIMES.....I REQUEST PERMISSION TO HAVE ALL AIR BAGS REMOVED TO SAVE MY LIFE. ANOTHER EXPLOSION WOULD KILL ME. NHTSA DEMANDS THAT CHILDREN SIT IN THE REAR AS OUT OF POSITION OCCUPANTS BUT I AM ONLY 5 FEET AND AM ALSO AN OUT OF POSITION OCCUPANT. DOESN'T NHTSA CARE ABOUT SHORT DRIVERS UNTIL 5'4"? I REQUIRE A RESPONSE. BTW I STILL HAVE THE LEXUS DEATH MOBILE. ALSO THE CARBON MONOXIDE CAUSED ME TO GET ILL, FALL ASLEEP AND CRASH. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM NHTSA FROM MY PRIOR COMPLAINT. YOUR QUESTION IS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN.....THE LEXUS AIRBAG 12-26-91......THE HONDA CARBON MONOXIDE.....CONTINUAL ----- NEED TO KEEP OPEN THE WINDOWS...... 2010 TO THIS DATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH DURING TIME ON A ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS, THE CONTACT COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT SHE DID NOT VIEW WAS ON THE ROADWAY. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. DURING THE IMPACT, THE CONTACT HIT HER HEAD DURING THE IMPACT BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME AND THEN TOWED AWAY FOR INSPECTION BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V182000 (AIR BAGS) AND CALLED RICHFIELD BLOOMINGTON HONDA (501 W 77TH ST, RICHFIELD, MN 55423, 612-866-8832). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED BECAUSE THE DEALER WAS TOO BUSY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,016.

HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR POWER STEERING LINE LEAKING GET TO BACK SIDE CAN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET THE PARTS OUT

WHILE PARKING CAR AT <2 MPH DRIVER FRONT WHEEL HIT CURB. DRIVERS SIDE SEAT RIPPED OPEN BUT AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIM CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THAT DEPLOYMENT WAS NORMAL, AND NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. SUGGESTED I CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA AND LODGE A COMPLAINT, WHICH I DID AND THEY CLAIM THIS WAS NOT AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. IF THE SEAT RIPPED OPEN BUT THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED, HOW IS THIS NOT A MALFUNCTION? (IT IS STILL NEATLY FOLDED WITHIN THE SEAT). WHY DID IT GO OFF WHEN HITTING A CURB WHILE PARKING AT EXTREMELY LOW SPEED? THIS SEEMS LIKE AN "AIRBAG MALFUNCTION" . I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND THAT IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY HONDA NOT AT MY COST.
