TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RICK ROUSH HONDA (3157 MEDINA RD, MEDINA, OH 44256, (330) 725-3999) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING, I HAD IT IN TWICE UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WAS NEVER FIXED. NOW IT IS PAST WARRANTY AND THEY WANT $495 TO FIX. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING THIS CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A U-TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DAY AFTER THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT NOTICED DROPS OF POWER STEERING FLUID ON THE PAVEMENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AGO, BUT SUBSIDED AFTER POWER STEERING FLUID WAS ADDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

AIR BAGS POPPED OUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY DAUGHTERS FACE AND BURNS TO HER ARMS AND OTHER BODILY DAMAGES. THE CAR BARELY HIT THE WALL AND THE BAGS WENT OFF. WE WERE AT HOME. MY DAUGHTER WAS TREATED TWICE (ADMITTED AT THE TRAUMA UNIT FOR 3 DAYS). SPEECH THERAPY IS REQUIRED FOR THE FACIAL TRAUMA AND ORTHODONTIST WAS NEEDED FOR A BROKEN TOOTH AND WIRE FROM HER BRACES JAMMED IN HER JAW.

HEADLIGHTS AND THE HEADLIGHT LENS FOR THIS CAR ARE SO DIM THAT DRIVING AFTER DUSK IS NOT SAFE. I'VE REPLACED THE BLUBS TWICE AND HAD THE CAR SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH NO SUCCESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO LOWER THE WINDOWS, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN. THE FAILURE BEGAN ON MARCH 2, 2018. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

NONE OF THE WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN CHECKED FUSES AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM EXCEPT WINDOWS NOT ROLLING DOWN IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN CASE OF A WRECK TO WHERE SOMEONE WOULD NEED TO GET OUT OF A WINDOW HAVE CHILDREN WHO NEED TO HAVE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN FOR VENTILATION BECAUSE OF CAR SICKNESS I HAVE READ THAT MANY OF THESE HONDAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED THROUGH THE RECALL SYSTEM

RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN FRONT LEFT TIRE FAILED. I HAVE READ OF LATER MODEL YEARS HAVING ISSUES WITH UNINTENDED SIDE CURTAIN DEPLOYMENT. I HAVE EVEN READ OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT ERRATIC DEPLOYMENT IN 2006 MODELS IN NHTSA FILES. THERE WAS NO COLLISION, ONLY A CHUCK HOLE WHICH PROMPTED THE TIRE FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY NEAR ATHENS, OHIO. HIT AN UNAVOIDABLE POTHOLE, THE TIRE BLEW OUT IMMEDIATELY, THE RIGHT SIDE AIR CURTAINS DEPLOYED.
