ON A 2013 CAR ACCIDENT. I ALONG WITH 2 OTHER PASSENGERS EXPERIENCED A FRONTAL COLLISION ,WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE ,WHO RAN A RED LIGHT. UPON IMPACT ,THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED.THE FORCE FROM THE AIRBAG WAS SO SEVERE,IT FORCED MY HEAD BACK ,HITTING(BRUISING) THE PASSENGER SEATED BEHIND ME. I MOMENTARILY BLACKED OUT,TO BE AWOKEN BY THE BURNING SENSATION OF MY ARM.SOME KIND OF SOLVENT OR KIND OF FUEL CELL TO DEPLOY THE BAG,CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS BURNING MY RIGHT ARM.THOUGH THE FIRE WAS ONLY CONTAINED ON MY ARM,AND THANKFUL IT HAD NOT SPREAD WE WERE TREATED FOR TRAUMA,MYSELF FOR TRAUMA AND 2ND DEGREE BURNS AT THE ER.WE ALSO SHOW REPORTS FROM THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN AND POLICE REPORTS,DECRIBING THE ACCIDENT.WE HAD TRIED TO CONTACT HONDA AT THE TIME,AND CHECKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL WAS ISSUED. THOUGH HONDA SAID THAT NO RECALLS FOR THAT MODEL AT THE TIME.....YOU CAN ONLY GUESS MY SURPRISE,WHEN I GOT A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG.TODAY....UPDATED 10/07/14 *BF UPDATED 5/13/2015 *JS

HAVE REPLACED LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST 8 TIMES IN TWO YEARS. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. HAVE USED SYLVANIA, OSRAM AND WAGNER H1 BULBS. BULBS LAST ONE TO 6 MONTHS. NOT A WATER PROBLEM. NO SIGN OF WATER IN HOUSINGS. OTHER BULBS ALSO HAVE SHORTER LIFE THAN EXPECTED. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE DOME LIGHT, RUNNING LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS DURING THE SAME PERIOD. OBVIOUSLY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. ANNOYING AND EXPENSIVE. HEADLIGHTS ARE EASY TO CHANGE BUT TAIL LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS ARE NOT EASY TO CHANGE. YOU CAN FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET BUT THERE ARE NO HONDA RECALLS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD OTHER HONDA, TOYOTA, FORD AND GM VEHICLES WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS LAST INDEFINITELY. EIGHT BLOWN BULBS IN TWO YEARS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS CONTINUE TO FAIL, NEED TO KEEP REPLACING BULBS NOW ONLY ONE WORKS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE W HONDAS FOR WHICH A MASSIVE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2012 FOR OVER 800,000 CARS. I CALLED HONDA WHO LOOKED UP MY VIN AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY VIN DID NOT APPEAR ON THEIR LIST. *TR

I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND GOT GAS. I TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING BEFORE TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, AS ALWAYS. GOT IN AND STARTED THE CAR, TURNED ON THE A/C, AND IT BLEW HOT AIR. I KEPT TRYING IT ALL THE WAY HOME AND NOTHING BUT HOT AIR. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED A TICKING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD WHEN IT WAS IDLING. MID SUMMER, BUT NO MONEY TO BRING IT IN. ONE MONTH LATER THE TICKING UNDER THE HOOD GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SO I TOOK IT IN FOR A FREE A/C CHECK. TURNS OUT THE WHOLE A/C SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (ESTIMATE $1000) COMPRESSOR W/CLUTCH, ORIFICE TUBE, RECEIVER/DRYER, AND RE-CHARGE. THOUSANDS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS. TICKING COULD BE CAUSED BY ALL OF THIS, OR LOOSE VALVES, EXHAUST MANIFOLD, ETC... CONTACTING HONDA, TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO... *TR

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS NEED REPLACEMENT AT LEAST 3 TIMES PER YEAR, SOMETIMES MORE. EVEN WHEN REPLACED WITH NEW BULBS, SOMETIMES THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LIGHT VARIES RANDOMLY. THE LAST TIME I HAD THE BULB REPLACED THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE NEW BULB WOULDN'T EVEN STAY LIT WHEN HE REPLACED IT. THERE ARE OTHER MODEL YEARS FOR THIS CAR WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS LOW BEAM BULB ISSUE. IT IS TIME FOR HONDA TO RECALL THIS MODEL YEAR AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AT NIGHT ANYMORE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! ALSO, JUST WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, MY SRS LIGHT IS RANDOMLY STAYING LIT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED THESE ISSUES. *TR
