ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A HONDA ACCORD V6 2005 MODEL CAR AND MAINTENANCE DONE AS PER MANUALS. I AM NOW GETTING JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING OR AFTER STARTING AND PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE GEAR.THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON NOW. I DID A CODE SCAN AND GETTING CODE P0741. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION POWER. I DID SOME GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT HONDA HAD THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THIS MODEL AND LOT OF CAR WERE RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. I FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 11V395000 ADDRESSING SIMILAR PROBLEM AND AS OF 23RD SEPTEMBER 2014, 1.5 MILLION (1512107) VEHICLES HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUE.THE HONDA RECALL NUMBER IS R89 AND THE RECALL WAS PLACED ON AUGUST 27TH 2011, FOR HONDA ACCORDS 2005-2010 FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THIS ISSUE IS TRANSMISSION POWER IS NOT WORKING AS EXPECTED AND IT JERKS WHILE CHANGING GEAR OR SPEED. THIS IS DANGEROUS FROM DRIVING SAFETY POINT OF VIEW. I NEED HELP BY THE NHTSA AS I STRONGLY FEEL THAT MY CASE IS GENUINE AND WITH REFERENCE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 11V395000, MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS RECALL BY AMERICAN HONDA. ON THAT NOTE, I DO HOPE TO RECEIVE A RESOLUTION RESPONSE , IN A TIMELY MANNER, FROM YOUR EXECUTIVE TEAM OR SOMEONE ELSE THAT IS IN A POSITION TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS
I RECENTLY RECEIVED AN AIRBAG NOTICE TO HAVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG REPLACE AT THE DEALER. I PROMPTLY DELIVERED MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TEXAS HONDA OF AUSTIN, TX. AFTER THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED AND THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER, I AM NOW GETTING AN SRS WARNING LIGHT WHICH IS INTERMITTING. AND ACCORDING TO MY MANUAL TAKE IT TO YOUR DEALER. WHEN I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER THEY ADVISED THAT THE TWO HAD NO RELEVANCE. THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. ACCORDING TO HONDA'S SITE THE SEAT WIRING HARNESS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED TO AVOID THIS.

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE FAULT CODE READ BEFORE BRINGING THE CAR TO HONDA. THE FAULT CODE WAS A BAD SENSOR ONLY. HONDA REPLACED THE SENSOR AND THE SRS CONTROL UNIT AS WELL. WITH LOW MILEAGE ON THE CAR I CALLED HONDA MOTORS CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE AND DETERMINED THE REPAIRS WERE NEEDED AND THEY COULD NOT HELP IN ANY WAY. REPAIRS COST $750.01

STRUCTURE:BODY
I PURCHASED MY HONDA ACCORD EX WITH 7 MILES ON IT, AND NOTICED OVER A YEAR, POSSIBLY LONGER, THAT THE PAINT WAS PEELING. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT THEY STATED IT WAS BECAUSE OF EPA LAWS MAKING THE PAINTS LESS EFFECTIVE. I ALSO SPENT THE EXTRA MONEY TO HAVE THE CAR SIMONIZED TO ENSURE THE PAINT WHICH WAS A WASTE OF MONEY.

SERVICE BRAKES
I'VE OWNED MY 4-DR., 6-CYL. EX MODEL SINCE PURCHASING IT FROM A HONDA PARTS DEPT. EMPLOYEE IN JAN., 2007 WITH 24K MILES ON THE ENGINE. IT HAS PERFORMED GENERALLY VERY WELL UNTIL IT DEVELOPED A SAFETY-RELATED, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM THAT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE IT FIRST OCCURRED-- NAMELY, THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY SOFT WHEN APPLIED, AND RECENTLY HAS TO BE APPLIED STRENUOUSLY ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET EVEN A MINIMAL STOPPING RESPONSE. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED, I BEGAN REGULARLY CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN MY MASTER CYLINDER. ONLY OCCASIONALLY DID THE CYLINDER REQUIRE SOME MINIMAL, ADDITIONAL BRAKE FLUID--AKIN TO A NORMAL MAINTENANCE AMOUNT. KEEPING MY FLUID TO A MAXIMUM-LEVEL HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS PAST MARCH (2015), I REQUESTED MY WELL-RATED, INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. HE FIRST IDENTIFIED THE SAME 3 EARLIER HONDA SERVICE BULLETINS THAT I HAD (GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2007) THAT ADDRESSED THIS BRAKE PROBLEM, WHEREIN HONDA WAS MOSTLY IMPLICATING A FAULTY ABS (CONTROL) MODULE AS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM (NOTE: I'VE NEVER RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL SVC. BULLETIN FROM HONDA FOR THIS PROBLEM). MY MECHANIC ESTIMATED THAT REPLACING MY ABS MODULE WOULD COST OVER $2000, BUT THAT EVEN THEN THERE WOULD BE NO GUARANTEE THAT MY PROBLEM WOULD BE RESOLVED. SO, UNTIL I COULD DECIDE WHAT ACTION TO TAKE, I HAD HIM DO A FRONT BRAKE JOB TO "BUY" WHATEVER EXTRA STOPPING-POWER I COULD ... WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE MINIMAL-TO-NONE! NOT ONLY DOES MY PROBLEM REMAIN, BUT IT IS GETTING RAPIDLY WORSE ... TO THE POINT THAT I'M RELUCTANT MAKE LONG, HIGHWAY-SPEED TRIPS, AND AM DRIVING SUPER-DEFENSIVELY SO AS TO BE ABLE TO STOP THE CAR IN ANY KIND OF RISKY SITUATION. I PLAN TO APPEAL TO THE HONDA AMERICA HIERARCHY, STARTING WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP.

ENGINE
DRIVE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT THE SPEED OF 60 MPH. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE AND I INFORMED THEM OF THE FLASHING DRIVE LIGHT. LATER ADVISED ME AFTER THE INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE IS DONE THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THAT WILL COST ME $5,000 (ON SALE FOR $4100) PLUS THE INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE OF $313.00. THE CAR HAS 137 K MILES. IS THIS VEHICLE PART OF ANY TRANSMISSION RECALL AT THIS MILEAGE OR IS IT PART OF THE ENGINE' S WEAR AND TEAR? PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA FOR AIRBAG INFLATOR PROBLEM IN APRIL 2015. I PROMPTLY CALLED A DEALER TO SET UP SERVICE FOR THE RECALL, BUT THEY SAID THEY HAD TO GET THE PARTS IN. I CALLED AGAIN AFTER TWO WEEKS AND STILL NO PARTS. I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALER TO DO THE SERVICE. IT HAS NOW BEEN THREE MONTHS. WHY WOULD HONDA SEND OUT THE RECALL AND NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE DEALERS TO REPLACE?
