• 09/06/2015· AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER

  WE TURNED ON THE IGNITION TO WARM THE ENGINE A BIT AT ABOUT 9:50 ON THE MORNING OF SUNDAY, AUGUST 6, 2015. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG COMPLETELY EXPLODED. THE CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION, IT WAS PARKED, SO THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. WE SUPPOSE THAT IT MUST BE DEFECTIVE. THE SHEER FORCE OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT RESULTED IN A LARGE, CIRCULAR CRACK ON THE WINDSHIELD, WITH SMALLER HAIRLINE FRACTURES. FRAGMENTS OF BLACK PLASTIC WERE PROPELLED THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. A STRONG SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC ENSUED AND FILLED THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. WE WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY INSPECTED, AS WE FEAR THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG MIGHT ALSO BE DEFECTIVE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE HONDA DEALERSHIP OUR INSURANCE COMPANY DIRECTED US TO WILL NOT BE OPEN UNTIL TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 DUE TO THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY. THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION. THANKFULLY, WE WERE NOT DRIVING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, AND SO NOBODY SUFFERED PERSONAL INJURY - BUT THIS AIRBAG MALFUNCTION MIGHT WELL HAVE CAUSED WOUNDS FROM THE FLYING MATERIALS AND SHARDS OF PLASTIC, AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT - PERHAPS WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE INVOLVED - OR SEVERE INJURY, POSSIBLY EVEN DEATH. THOUGH WE FEEL GRATEFUL TO HAVE AVOIDED THE WORST, WE ARE STILL WITHOUT A VEHICLE DUE TO A MECHANICAL DEFECT NOT CAUSED BY US.

THE LAST TIME WHICH WAS 3 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR REQUIRED $800 DOLLARS OF REPAIRS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HONDA . I FEEL THAT THIS SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE ALL ALONG AND HONDA SHOULD AT LEAST SHARE THE COST OF REPAIRS. I CONTACTING YOU IN HOPES THAT YOU CAN JUMP START THE DIALOG BETWEEN MYSELF AND HONDA. THANK-YOU

  1) ABS SYSTEM: THE ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. I HAVE ADDED BRAKE FLUID TO THE RESEVOIR, ALTHOUGH THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM ONLY TEMPORARILY. FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL YEAR. 2) AIR CONDITIONER: THE AC MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE, WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF VIBRATION BEING FELT QUITE STRONGLY WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE PROBLEM DIMINSHES WHEN THE REAR AC IS TURNED OFF, AND DISSIPATES COMPLETELY WHEN THE AC AS A WHOLE IS SHUT DOWN.*AK
