CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, IT T-BONED ANOTHER VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CONSUMER CALLED HONDA, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR BAGS OPERATED PROPERLY, AND THERE WAS NO DEFECT. CONSUMER DID NOT SEE WHY THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE HE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH. CONSUMER WAS ALSO TOLD BY A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE SENSORS WERE IN THE FENDER,AND THAT WAS WHY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CONSUMER STATED THAT THIS MADE NO SENSE. *AK

AIR BAGS
FROM THE TIME THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD TO TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS( SAM SWOPE HONDA WORLD AND BOB MONTGOMERY HONDA) CONCERNING THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN THE SHOP 8 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM THEY ALWAYS DO A QUICK FIX AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS THE PROBLEM RECURS. THE AIRBAG LIGHTS LIGHT COMES ON LIKE THE SYSTEM IS STILL DEACTIVATED. THE LAST TIME I HAD IT IN THE SHOP ON 3/1/04 AT BOB MONTGOMERY WITHIN HOURS OF GETTING THE CAR BACK THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED CAR FROM DUBLIN HONDA WITH A LITTLE OVER 7K MILES, AROUND THE 12TH OF AUGUST 2001. MY CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS BETWEEN 1/4-1/8 TANK. I ALSO NOTICED A BLACK FLAP HANGING UNDER MY CAR AND A LOT OF DUCT TAPE WRAPPED AROUND THE FRONT AXEL AND CAUGHT ON THE TIRES. IT TOOK THREE TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY FINALLY REMOVED THE FUEL TANK AND FOUND DAMAGE FUEL TANK DAMAGE AND DAMAGE UNDER FUEL PUMP. THEY SAID BUT DID NOT PUT IN WRITING THAT THERE WAS A PATCH ON AN AREA OF THE DAMAGE. THEY ASKED ME WHAT I HAD HIT, WHICH I HADN'T HIT AS THERE WAS A PATCH REPAIR IN THE AREA. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING. THEREFORE HONDA SOLD ME A CAR THAT WAS DAMAGED AND DID NOT REPORT THIS TO ME. WHAT I REALLY WANT IS HONDA TO REPLACE MY CAR WITH A NEW ONE. I KNOW THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL A DAMAGED CAR WITHOUT THE PURCHASERS NOTIFIED OF ANY DEFECTS, ETC. AND I WAS NOT. MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING 75 MILES AND HOUR ON A VERY BUSY FREEWAY AND THEREFORE I COULD NOT GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND HAD TOO MANY NEAR MISSES FROM OTHER CARS TO WANT TO REMEMBER. I THOUGHT AT WHAT POINT THAT I WAS GOING TO DIE OUT THERE. I COULD SEE THE HEADLINES. "HOSPICE NURSE DIES ON FREEWAY AFTER VISITING PATIENT." *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
JOIN THE CLUB, I HAVE A 1998 ACCORD WITH 120,000 AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS ALMOST RAN OVER BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. THIS CAR HAS HAD A CLUNKY TRANSMISSION SINCE 80,000 MILES AND I WOULD GET THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND IT WOULDN'T HELP. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION IS DEAD. I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A HONDA? I THOUGHT HONDA'S WERE RELIABLE? AMERICAN HONDA WILL NOT HELP, THE DEALER WILL NOT HELP SO BASICALLY I'M SCREWED. USED TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT ESTIMATES ARE $1700-2500. THIS IS TERRIBLE, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL? SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I ALMOST DID. HONDA KNOWS SOMETHING IS WRONG. THIS IS EVEN LISTED ON CARPOINT.MSN.COM THAT THIS CAR HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION. I AM GOING TO FIX IT AND SELL IT AND GO BACK TO TOYOTA, I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
