2006 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JENKINS HONDA OF LEESBURG (8865 US-441, LEESBURG, FL 34788, (352) 815-2482) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. *TT*JB

REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS STOPPED MAKING A LEFT TURN, CAUSING AIR BAG TO EXPLODE. THIS WAS MAYBE 5 YEARS AGO. I AM STILL DIGGING OUT PIECES OF METAL ON MY FACE. I GUESS MY SUNGLASSES PROTECTED MY EYES. HAPPENED ON A CITY 2 LANE CITY STREET.

SUN ROOF WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF AN OBJECT STRIKING OR HITTING IT, JUST A POP AND A SUDDEN RUSH OF AIR THAT INCREASED AS THE OPENING IN THE SHATTERED SAFETY GLASS GREW LARGER. LUCKLY THE INSIDE COVER WAS CLOSED, SO THAT THE GLASS SHARDS DID NOT DROP ONTO ME WHILE DRIVING DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE ON A BUSY FREEWAY. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT THE WINDOW DID NOT HAVE ANY LAMINATION ON IT TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING INTO SHARDS. THE WEATHER WAS RAINING AND ABOUT 45 DEGREES F, BUT I DID NOT HIT A POT HOLE OR HEAR/SEE ANY DEBRIS HIT THE CAR. I HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS WINDOW. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WERE NO SAFETY RECALLS INVOLVING THIS WINDOW AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANYTHING RELATED TO THIS OVER 3 YEARS OLD. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT $468. THE CAR WAS HAIL DAMAGED TWO YEARS AGO, BUT I BELIEVE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS EVENT SINCE TEMPERED GLASS JUST COMPLETELY SHATTERS IF DAMAGED.

PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE. LEFT FRONT TIRE HIT POT HOLE. WHEEL WAS DAMAGED. TIRE IMMEDIATELY DEFLATED. THERE WAS NO COLLISION

I HAD A BLOW OUT AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS CAME OUT AND SEATBELT LOCKED UP. DRIVING ABOUT 40 MILES ON A STRAIGHT AWAY.

AIRBAG GOT STUCK ON DEPLOY DURING A DRIVER'S SIDE COLLISION THIS MORNING. VEHICLE WAS TURNING LEFT WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT IT. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE RICK CASE HONDA COLLISION CENTER IN WESTON, FL (JUST OUTSIDE FORT LAUDERDALE). THE LOWER AIRBAG IN THE SEAT BELT HOLDER DEPLOYED AND SOMETHING CUT THE DRIVER'S ARM.

THE POWER STEERING HOSE HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK WHICH IS CAUSING P OWER STEERING FLUID TO LEAK ONTO HOT ENGINE PARTS RESULTING IN SPOKE IN THE INTERIOR AND ENGINE BAY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON V6 MODELS BUT NOT THE V4 LIKE I HAVE.

POWER STEERING HOSE RECALL. TOOK VEHICLE TO HODA DEALERSHIP TO FIX DAMAGED HOSE FOR THE RECALL. LEAKING HOSE CAUSED PUMP TO MALFUNCTION DUE TO NOT ENOUGH FLUID OR PRESSURE GOING OR PRESSURE GOING INTO PUMP. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DETERMINED THAT THE HOSE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PUMP LEAK. I HAVE THE REPORT FROM HONDA STATING THEY ARE AT FAULT FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER SO I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL AFTER SMOKE APPEARED ON THE HOOD OF MY VEHICLE. HONDA DID AN INVESTIGATION AND DENIED ANY REPAIRS ON THE PUMP. HONDA ONLY FIXED HOSE AND TRIED UP SELLING THE REPAIRS FOR THE PUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE, BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BURNS HONDA (325 RT. 73 N., MARLTON, NJ) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT TRACK AND CLIPS WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

TAKATA RECALL. WHILE DRIVING ON A PAVED ROAD THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE AIRBAG IN THE SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. THERE WAS NO COLLISION. HONDA AND MY INSURANCE INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND IT WAS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM.
