AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, SEATS
TUESDAY, JANUARY 26TH, 2016, APPROX.9:45PM, MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING HOME FROM NEW JERSEY BACK TO NEW YORK THROUGH HIGHLY POPULATED TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN ZONES. OUR 2007 HONDA ACCORD 4CYL, SEDAN WITH 59,700 MILES CAME TO A STOP WHILE TRAVELING APPROX 20MPH AS WE PASSED AN INTERSECTION DUE TO DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AND SEAT DEPLOYING WITHOUT CAUSE. NO OTHER VEHICLE/PEDESTRIAN WAS INVOLVED, FORTUNATELY, AND NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO OUR VEHICLE. HOWEVER THE AIRBAGS STRICTLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE, THAT ARE NOT PART OF A RECALL, DEPLOYED/MALFUNCTIONED THUS POTENTIALLY MAY HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENT HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN BEEN NEARBY. LOCAL DEALER, PARAGON IN WOODSIDE, APPRAISED DAMAGE AND COST OF REPAIR AT $6,000.00 PARTS AND LABOR. THE SERVICE ENGINEER CONCLUDED ANY DIPS IN ROADS, POTHOLES, HILLS, BASICALLY LANDSCAPES THAT DIRECT/FORCE THE FRONT OF A VEHICLE FORWARD COULD POTENTIALLY SET OFF THE SENSOR FOR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. CONTRARY TO THEIR 'PROFESSIONAL' STATEMENT OUR VEHICLE DID NOT SEE SUCH A SCENARIO WHERE ONLY DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE WOULD REQUIRE AIRBAGS BEING DEPLOYED. SHOULD THE ROAD CONDITIONS BEEN SEVERVE ALL AIRBAGS SHOULD OF DEPLOYED. HAVING SAID THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE. SHOULD THEIR STATEMENT BE "TRUE" CONSEQUENTLY AIRBAGS WOULD BE GOING OFF WITH NO ACCIDENTS MORE OFTEN, AND THIS WOULD BE A REGULAR REPAIR AND PUTTING A GREATER POPULATION AT RISK. WE BELIEVE THE DRIVER SIDE MALFUNCTIONED AND WE CANNOT BE HELD REPONSIBLE WHEN THIS SAFETY FEATURE IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL. WE CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH THAT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS MOVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE 20MPH GOING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT, ON A MODEST INCLINE DOWNHILL AT BEST. BEAR IN MIND I'VE DRIVEN THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I WOULD HAPPILY RE DEMONSTRATE. THE AIRBAGS THAT DEPLOYED ARE NOT PART OF A RECALL

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2007 HONDA ACCORD THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WORKS BUT OTHER 3 WINDOWS DON'T. WHEN I HIT THE MASTER SWITCH ON DRIVERS DOOR TO TRY TO ROLL THE OTHER 3 WINDOWS DOWN YOU CAN HEAR THE SWITCH CLICK AT THE SWITCH ON THE DOOR UR TRYING TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN BUT IT DOES NOT MOVE. IT ALL STARTED WHEN I USED MY KEY TO PUT ALL THE WINDOWS DOWN(TURN KEY TWICE TO LEFT AND HOLD) BEFORE ENTERING THE CAR. THEN, ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING I DECIDED TO ADJUST MY WINDOWS BUT IT DID NOT EVEN BUDGE, EXCEPT OF COURSE FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE NIGHT BEFORE I DIDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
MY HONDA ACCORD HAD A RECALL FOR BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER CLOSEST TO ME TO SET UP AND APPT. TO GET THEM REPLACED. TOOK MY CAR INTO THE RYAN HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY PERFORMED THE WORK IN A COUPLE OF HOURS. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH WAS AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLOSING TIME, I NOTICED MY SEATBELT/AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, AND WOULD NEVER GO OFF (THIS LIGHT WAS NOT ON BEFORE I HAD THE PARTS REPLACED). I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY SEATBELT SENSOR WAS OUT AND THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAGS! WELL, MY SEATBELT SENSOR WAS NOT OUT BEFORE THEY DID THE WORK ON MY CAR. NOW, I'M LEARY THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY OR SOMETHING BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT BEING CONSTANTLY ON. I DO APPRECIATE HONDA SENDING THE AIRBAG RECALL AND FOOTING THE BILL, BUT DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND SOMETHING ELSE GETS MESSED UP AND I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE PARKING MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, I PUT IT INTO REVERSE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, AND THE BRAKES FAILED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A PARKED CAR WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO MOVE IT ABOUT 3 FEET, PUSHING IT UP OVER THE CURB AND ONTO THE SIDEWALK. A SECOND PARKED VEHICLE WAS ALSO DAMAGED. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AT AN ALARMING RATE OF SPEED FOR ABOUT ONE/TENTH MILE, WHERE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THE REAR DAMAGE ON MY CAR WAS SO EXTENSIVE THAT THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,300 MILES. I HAD KEPT THIS CAR REGULARLY MAINTAINED. BECAUSE OF THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA....UPDATED 12/03/15*BF *TR

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN DEALERSHIP'S POSSESSION OVER A YEAR - FROM SALE DATE. HOWEVER, THEY (OWNER/SALESMAN) GUARANTEED THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE AS ABOVE STANDARD AND RECOMMENDED EXTENDED WARRANTY.

SAFETY RESTRAINT DID NOT FAIL AT TIME OF IMPACT, BUT FAILED TO RESEND ONCE UNHOOKED FROM DRIVER.

THE CAR SWIRLED ON BLACK ICE AND HAD A SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE ON SIDE WHEN IT HIT A TREE ON THE RAMP. WHEN CAR WAS REPAIRED THE TECHNICIAN SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CONTROL MODULE OF THE AIR BAG AS IT HAD BURNT OUT. THEY WERE NOT SURE IF THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED OR DID NOT BECAUSE OF THIS FAILURE. HAVING READ THE RECALL FOR 2008 ACCORD FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE, I REMEMBERED ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND THOUGHT I WILL BRING IT FORWARD INCASE THERE ARE ANY 2007 ACCORDS AS WELL THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
2007 HONDA ACCORD EX-L (IN EXCELLENT CONDITION) WAS PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND STOPPED. WHEN DRIVER TRANSITIONED THE GEARSHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED THE CURB, CROSSED A (SOGGY) GRASSY MEDIAN OF ABOUT 10 FEET, AND CRASHED INTO A SECOND (PARKED) CAR WITH ENOUGH VELOCITY TO PUSH THE SECOND CAR INTO A THIRD (PARKED) CAR. ALL EFFORTS TO STOP THE HONDA IN ITS ACCELERATION WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH IT HAD BEEN PURCHASED NEW AND SERVICED REGULARLY. AFTER THREE MONTHS OF HAGGLING, THE DEALERSHIP REPURCHASED THE CAR; HONDA, HOWEVER, REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY AC HAS GONE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER IN PHOENIX, AZ. THE FIRST TIME WAS 8/10/2011. THIS IS NOW 4 YEARS LATER AND MY AC MADE A HORRIBLE SOUND WHILE DRIVING, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY AC NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AND ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR. IT IS +110 OUTSIDE BY NOON. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS TIME AND THE FIRST TIME IS THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS NO HORRIBLE NOISE, THE AC JUST REFUSED TO TURN ON. I CALLED HONDA THE FIRST TIME AND THEY DIDN'T CARE SINCE MY CAR JUST ENDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THIS IS A CERTAINLY A BIG ISSUE THAT MY CAR AC NEEDS TO BE FIXED EVERY 4 YEARS!

AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING JUST AFTER FACTORY WARRANTY ENDED. I CALLED HONDA SERVICE CENTER IMMEDIATELY, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $100 TO EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR. THEY MADE NO MENTION OF BEING FLEXIBLE EVEN THOUGH I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION AND THEY KNEW IT WAS OVER 110+ OUTSIDE. I WENT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP TO GET MY CAR FIXED FAST AND HAD TO PAY A SUBSTANTIATE AMOUNT OF MONEY OUT OF POCKET. WHEN I CALLED HONDA TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE AC DYING AFTER 4YEARS THEY BACK PEDDLED STATING THAT IF I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN TO HONDA, THEY WOULD HAVE WAIVED THE $100 FEE AND FIXED MY AC FREE OF CHARGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.
