• 12/31/2005· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,POWER TRAIN

  WE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM IN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT ON OUR TRIP BACK FROM AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP LAST WEEKEND. AS A RESULT OF THIS EXPERIENCE MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. AFTER A FEW HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, AND DECELERATING THROUGH AN EXIT RAMP, THEN RE-ACCELERATING AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT WE EXPERIENCED AND AN EXTREMELY RESISTANT BRAKE PEDAL REQUIRING EXTREMELY HARD PEDAL PRESSURE AND THE ENGINE SEEMED TO CONTINUE TO REV DURING BRAKING. WHILE STOPPED AT THE LIGHT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV ABNORMALLY. OUR 30-YEAR-OLD SON WAS DRIVING. HE DID NOT MOVE HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR FEAR OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. HE SWITCHED INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE STOPPED REVVING. WHILE KEEPING HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL HE PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE. THEN THE ENGINE SEEMED NORMAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS WAS A DISCONCERTING EXPERIENCE BECAUSE IT WAS ABNORMALLY DIFFICULT TO STOP, AND WE ALMOST RAN INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF US. THERE WERE THREE ADULT WITNESSES TO THIS FRIGHTENING EPISODE, MY WIFE, OUR ADULT SON, AND ME. WE DID NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AT ANY TIME DURING THIS TRIP. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR HONDA DEALER. THEY EXAMINED THE CAR THOROUGHLY AND COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS. THEY HYPOTHESIZED THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A COMPUTER ERROR, BUT THE SYSTEMS TEST OUT FINE NOW. NOW OUR FAMILY IS LEFT WITH A CAR THAT WE KNOW HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT, AND WE DRIVE IT IN FEAR THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, HURTING OTHERS OR US. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS STEALTH DEFECT MAY BE LURKING TO HURT OTHERS IN OTHER 2006 HONDA ACCORD V6 CARS. *JB

• 12/27/2015· AIR BAGS

  I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AROUND 1230AM 12/27/15 LAST NIGHT FROM A FRIENDS HOUSE TO OUR HOME ABOUT A 5 MILE DRIVE WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WENT OFF FOR NO REASON. THE ROAD I WAS ON WAS A LOCAL ROAD. I WAS DRIVING NORMAL AND SAFELY BECAUSE IT WAS LATE AND VERY DARK AT THE TIME. IT EXPLODED TWICE. I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVER POSITION. MY WIFE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FELT A BLAST ON HER CHEST. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG NEVER WENT OFF. I FELT A BLAST AS WELL AND LUCKILY NOTHING HIT MY FACE. SMOKE FILLED THE CABIN. WE OPENED THE WINDOWS AND GOT OUT FAST. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT IT WAS PITCH BLACK WHERE WE WERE. WE WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE DECIDING WE SHOULD TRY TO DRIVE HOME...SINCE WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME, I DROVE HOME. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO PUT IN A CLAIM BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAD PREVIOUSLY WENT TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE TO GET THE AIRBAGS FIXED. I WENT ON MAY 7 2015 AND OCTOBER 13 2015. I WANTED THIS NOTED IN CASE. WE WERE SCARED. I NEVER EXPECTED THIS AIRBAG TO GO OFF FOR NO REASON B/C I HAD GONE IN TWICE FOR RECALLS. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED B/C THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PROGRESSIVE IS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME ON MONDAY FOR THE NEXT STEP.

• 12/27/2011· STRUCTURE,LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

  MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR LATCH. THIS REALLY SCARED HER SO THAT WE SHE WALKED TO OUR HOUSE DOORS SHE WAS SHAKING. THIS IS A 2-DOOR COUPE AND SHE WAS SCARED AND ALMOST PANICKING. SHE ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE DOOR BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT OPEN IT. I INVESTIGATED AND THE REMOTE DOOR OPENER WAS WORKING. EVEN USED THE MANUAL KEY TO TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR BUT THE LATCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE TO OPEN THE DOOR. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THE SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND HAD AN ACCIDENT AND SHE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR? WHAT IF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE? THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WAY THE DOOR WAS DESIGNED. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE OTHER HONDA CARS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM NOT AWARE IF THE OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE ACTUALLY REPORTED THIS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ONLINE POST COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM... *TR

  MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL #11V395000, HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT LISTED AS BEING AFFECTED BY THAT RECALL. I CONTACT HONDA USA DIRECTLY, OPENED A CASE #10120384, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE VEHICLE IS MAKING A NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY LOSES ALL POWER, THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED SO FAR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED BY THE 2011 RECALL FOR THE PCM, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE ALSO INDICATES THE PCM IS AT FAULT, HOWEVER BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL ANY FIX MUST BE DONE OUT OF POCKET. THE ISSUES HAPPENING ARE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, BECAUSE OF THIS IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ADDITIONAL VINS MIGHT HAVE NEEDED TO BE INCLUDED.

• 12/17/2012· POWER TRAIN

  I BOUGHT MY 2006 ACCORD V6 AUTO NOT QUITE 4 YEARS AGO AS A 2 YEAR OLD, OFF LEASE BEAUTIFUL, GENTLY USED MODEL WITH 38,000 MILES. AROUND 85,000 MILES I NOTED THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT ABRUPTLY/HARD. I HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUID SERVICE COMPLETED AND THIS SEEMED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE ABRUPT SHIFTS STARTED AGAIN AROUND 128,000 MILES. NOW AT 130,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED. AFTER A 65 MILE TRIP, THE CAR WOULD NOT GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THE ENGINE REVVED AND REVVED, BUT WOULD NOT SHIFT. AFTER A 5 MINUTE REST, THE CAR WOULD NOT EVEN GO INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED 45 MINUTES LATER, THE CAR DID MANAGE TO GO INTO REVERSE AND DRIVE TO GET THE CAR ALIGNED WITH THE FLAT BED. THE RESULT FROM AN INDEPENDENT HONDA SPECIALIST: $3932.74 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. A CALL TO STEVENSON HONDA, WHO DID NOT LOOK AT THE CAR, QUOTED $4200 FOR A "REMANUFACTURED" TRANSMISSION. NOT SURE HOW HONDA COULD CONTINUE TO BUILD THIS TRANSMISSION AND INSTALL IN THEIR TOP OF THE LINE MODEL AFTER KNOWING THERE WERE PROBLEMS AS EARLY AS 2003, IN THIS SPECIFIC MODEL. I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT MY PLAN OF ACTION IS AFTER CALLING HONDA 800-999-1009 TO COMPLAIN. I DON'T HAVE $4000 LAYING AROUND. *TR

ON THIS PANEL, MY MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP LIGHT COMES ON SOME TIMES AFTER REFUELING BUT NOT A CAP PROBLEM AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW DAYS. THIS TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON WILE DRIVING BUT WAS NOT RELATED TO A REFUEL.

I HAVE HAD THIS LIGHT COME ON A FEW TIMES BEFORE AS WELL AS NOW AND THEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT ON ITS OWN A FEW DAYS LATER. I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS OF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH THE LIGHT ON. THE PHOTO ALSO SHOWS MY CURRENT MILES AT THE TIME WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE GIVEN THE PHOTOS TO MY SERVICE ADVISER #176 AT MARTIN MAIN LINE HONDA DEALERSHIP # 207980 IN ARDMORE PA 19003-2385. MY SERVICE ADVISER AS WELL AS MY TECH CANNOT FINE THE PROBLEM OR KNOW EXACTLY WHY THE LIGHT COMES ON. MY SERVICE ADVISER HAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN YOUR CAR EMISSION SYSTEM IS EMITTING FUMES THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING, IN RETURN BREAKING A FEDERAL EMISSION LAW. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY MILES SOME TIMES AS MAY AS ABOUT 200 MILES WITH THIS LIGHT ON BEFORE. I JUST KEEP REPORTING THIS PROBLEM TO MY SERVICE ADVISER EVERY TIME THE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE PUT 0 FAILURES BELOW BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS PART FAIL OR NOT. I ALSO BEEN HAVING OTHER LIGHTS COME ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AS WELL ASIDE FROM THIS ONLY LIGHT.

  The vehicle was taken to two Honda dealerships apon noticing the D light blinking on the dashboard after reaching highway speeds. Also started getting worse overtime, currently when starting up, and putting into drive, nothing happens, and after a few seconds it will plurge forward into gear on its own. Down shifting when braking is rough and delayed also. Ive addressed this issue with Honda, and they just look my vin number and tell me there is no recall and id have to pay $200 out of pocket simply to run a diagnostic, when I know this should be covered under their recall as all symptoms are matching their current recalls for this vehicle. Also accomanied sometimes with a check engine light indicating the O2 Sensor connected to the catalater converter is having a delayed reaction. Also the airbag red light is always steady illuminated. This vehicle has never been in a crash and is very well maintained and Id like to keep it that way by addressing this issues accordingly in a timely manner. Thank you, Kindly.

IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE CAR WAS TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT ABOUT 65 MPH BOTH BLOW-OUTS OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE FIRST ONE FRONT AND THE SECOND REAR. THE FIRST BLOW-OUT NEARLY PUT ME INTO THE GUARD RAIL AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ALLOY RIM. THE OTHER BLOW-OUT DID NOT CAUSE ANY LOSS OF CONTROL. BOTH BLOW-OUTS OCCURRED ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD SOUND, NOT SURE IF IT WAS FROM THE RELEASE OF AIR OR THE RIM SLAMMING TO THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. BOTH BLOW-OUTS RESULTED IN A GAPING HOLE IN THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES. THE INITIAL FAILURE HAPPENED WITH 3000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE SECOND WITH 9000 MILES.

  I ENTERED MY CAR'S VIN BUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I FREQUENTLY SEE CARS DRIVING AT DUSK OR AT NIGHT WITH NO LIGHTS ON. THEIR DRLS AUTOMATICALLY COME ON AND THE DASH LIGHTS ARE AUTOMATICALLY LIT SO THEY THINK THEY ARE OK, BUT THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND OFTEN THE DRLS AREN'T AS BRIGHT AS HEADLIGHTS. IT'S A CONDITION THAT DRIVERS DON'T REALIZE NEEDS ADDRESSING AND IS DANGEROUS FOR MANY REASONS.
