2006 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I CHECKED RECALLS ON THE AIRBAGRECALL.COM WEBSITE AND DID NOT FIND A RECALL ON MY AIRBAG BUT FOUND ANOTHER RECALL INSTEAD. I DID NOT RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE BUT AFTER READING THE DESCRIPTION I PAID FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE NOTICE WAS SENT BUT I DID NOT GET IT. I AM NOT SURE IF ONLY ONE NOTICE WAS ISSUED OR IF A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE WAS SENT BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE EITHER. I NEED TO REIMBURSED. I HAVE MY RECEIPT WHERE I PAID FOR THE REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BUTLER FORD IN MILLEDGEVILLE, GA, (478) 453-9391, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE TEST WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 203,000.

ON 26OCT17, I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD 2006 WITH 171,000 MILES AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I PREPARED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND ENGAGED THE CLUTCH. THE VEHICLE ENTERED INTO THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 5 FEET WHEN A LARGE POP/THUD WAS HEARD WITH SOME SLIGHT METALLIC GRINDING NOISES. THE CAR DRIFTED BACKWARDS SINCE I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC TO MY LEFT OR BEHIND ME. I DRIFTED BACKWARDS APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET AND BACKED INTO A PLAYGROUND PARKING LOT ON MY RIGHT. I PARKED THE CAR AND MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO MOVE FORWARD AND ENGAGE THE CLUTCH. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT WORK. I CALLED MY LOCAL AUTO CLUB FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. THE AUTO CLUB TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. THE NEXT DAY MY MECHANIC CALLED ME AND REPORTED THAT MY CLUTCH WAS FINE BUT MY LEFT FRONT AXLE WAS BROKEN. THE MECHANIC REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME HE REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO HONDA. THE MECHANIC WAS ASKED IF ANYONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED. THE MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND HONDA TOLD HIM THAT THEY WERE NOT OBLIGATED TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HE WAS PERSONALLY AWARE OF OTHER OLDER HONDA VEHICLES THAT ALSO HAD BROKEN AXLES. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE BROKEN AXLE. THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THE RUBBER COVERING OVER THE AREA AFFECTED ALLOWS WATER/MOISTURE TO ACCUMULATE AND CORRODE THE AXLE. HE NOTED THAT THE NEW AXLE DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME COVERING. THE MECHANIC FELT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY WARNINGS/RECALLS FROM HONDA. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE REPAIR NEEDED FOR THIS INCIDENT.

COLD AIR NO LONGER COMING OUT FROM DRIVERS SIDE VENTS LOOKING ONLINE THIS APPEARS TO BE COMMON FOR THE HONDA ACCORD BUT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A RECALL WHY?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SKIPPED GEARS AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV VERY HIGH. ALSO, A KNOCKING NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V395000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

OFFICIAL NHTSA PAGE CONCERNING RECALL #12V222000. WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS MAKING NOISE BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL, MY POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKS, AND MY I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUE. I THINK IT'S RELATED TO THIS RECALL. ON A CITY STREET. OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TICKS OR WHINES WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON.

WITHIN 4 MONTHS FOLLOWING THE LAST TWO OIL CHANGES, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING. OIL IS TWO QTS LOW. NO INDICATION OF LEAK, BURNING OR IN RADIATOR. NOT SURE WHY USING OIL WITH NO INDICATION. MECHANIC STATES IT IS NORMAL TO USE OIL AND NEEDS TO BE ADDED BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.

CAR WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 5 WEEKS. IS THERE A RECALL OF THE IGNITION?

IN THE LAST RECALL, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN GREER SC AS INSTRUCTED. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL, I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS ALREADY EXPELLED AND ASKED IF IT WOULD BE REPLACED. SHE ASSURED ME THAT IT WOULD. THEY LAUGHED IN MY FACE AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND DID NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAG.
