SEATS
SUBJECT: FRONT SEAT BREAKS OFF IN REAR END COLLISION ON HONDA ACCORD SEDAN. O WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2002 HONDA ACCORD LX SEDAN FROM BLOOMFIELD HONDA IN BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MICHIGAN ONE YEAR AGO.*AK MY WIFE WAS REAR ENDED BY A LARGE FORD TRUCK WHILE SHE WAS STOPPED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. I TRUCK DIDNT EVEN BRAKE AND DROVE THE TRUCK ALL THE WAY UP TO THE BACKSEAT. LUCKILY SHE WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT. HER DRIVER SEAT, HOWEVER, BROKE OFF ITS MOORINGS AT THE FLOORBOARD GIVING HER NO SUPPORT AS SHE WAS FLUNG BACKWARD IN THE CRASH. IT WAS LIKE THE FRONT SEAT WAS A ROCKING CHAIR AFTER THE CRASH. NO PART OF THE FRONT END WAS DAMAGE EXCEPT THE DRIVER SEAT (ONLY THE REAR END HAD BEEN STRUCK). THE TRUNK AND REAR-END ARE DESTROYED. ARE DRIVERS SEATS SUPPOSED TO COME LOOSE OR BREAK OFF IN CRASHES??? IS THIS THE HONDA WAY? WE HAVE OWNED HONDAS FOR YEARS AND THIS IS A MAJOR QUALITY BREECH AND A DANGER. IF MY WIFE WASNT WEARING THAT SEAT BELT SHE MIGHT BE DEAD. THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENED IN THE HONDA ACCORD IN REAR END COLLISIONS...THIS IS ACCEPTABLE???? THE DRIVERS SEAT WOULD HAVE DRIVEN HER INTO THE DASH. I WOULD ALSO RETHINK NOT HAVING THE AIRBAG DEPLOY IN A SEVERE REAR-END COLLISION. IT WOULD HAVE HELPED IN THIS INCIDENT.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE BEARINGS WENT BAD IN THE OUTPUT SHAFT CAUSING TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK. HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT 89,000 MILES. HONDA PAID FOR 50% OF THE REPAIR COST, BUT AFTER REVIEWING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL. *AK

AIR BAGS
I WAS THE DRIVER IN A FRONT END CAR ACCIDENT AND MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT OPEN. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DID OPEN WITH NO PASSENGER. I SUSTAINED INJURIES BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG TO OPEN. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, MULLER'S HIGHLAND PARK HONDA, WHO INFORMED ME THAT THEY KNEW OF OTHER CASES OF AIRBAGS NOT OPENING. THE DEALER SAID TO CONTACT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT HONDA NORTH AMERICA. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM H.N.A. LOOKED AT THE CAR AND STATED THE COMPUTER SAID THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND SHOULD HAVE OPENED. NEXT THEY HAD AN ENGINEER CALL WHO DID NOT LOOK AT THE CAR HERSELF AND SAID THE CAR FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AGAIN. I WILL NEVER KNOW IF THE AIRBAG WOULD OPEN IF THERE WAS ANOTHER ACCIDENT. HONDA NORTH AMERICA NOW REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *PH

STEERING
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD V6 ON 4/26/03, SINCE THIS DATE MY CAR HAS BEEN BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A PULLING TO THE RIGHT 5 TIMES. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH AMERICAN HONDA CORP, BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, CALIFORNIA BUREAU OF AUTOMIVE REPAIRS AND SPOKE TO A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY. AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THESE CARS, I TRUELY BELIEVE I BOUGHT A LEMON!! THE REP. FROM HONDA SOUNDED PUZZLED WHEN I EXPLAINED WHAT MY CAR WAS DOING. I HAVE HAD NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. HAS "TRIED EVERYTHING THEY CAN" AND "DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM". I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER REP. AT HONDA THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THEY ARE HAVING WITH THE NEW V6 ACCORDS, AND THE DEALER HAS DONE ALL THEY CAN DO AT THIS POINT, I NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THEY COME UP WITH A SOLUTION AND THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I JUST PAID $25,000 FOR THIS CAR 4 MONTHS AGO AND THEY WANT ME TO WAIT!! MY CAR HAS ALSO HAD OTHER ISSUES, SUCH AS A A LOUD SCRAPING NOISE IN THE GAS PEDAL WHEN FIRST ACCELERATING INT HE MORNING. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THIS PROBLEM LISTED IN THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD ON 3 OCCASIONS BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS THE ANTI-LOCK BREAK SYSTEM WARMING UP! I WOULD THINK THAT IS A SAFTY ISSUE!!! MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ALSO SPLIT OPEN AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 2 MONTHS AND I WAS TOLD THAT "IT WAS FROM THE HEAT" AND "THAT IT'S JUST COSMETIC" BY THE SERVICE DEPT AT ELK GROVE HONDA IN SACRAMENTO, CA.
