AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
AFTER FIXING TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL FOR HONDA ACCORD 2008 SEDAN, SRS AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND STAYS ON EVEN AFTER THE CAR IS IN DRIVE MODE. GILLMAN HONDA (SAM HOUSTON PKWY, HOUSTON TX) WANTS TO CHARGE FOR DETECTION AND FIXING OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO TO HONDA MOTORS AMERICA TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE SINCE THIS IS A "SAFETY" ISSUE BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED YET. I REQUEST NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE SINCE SO MANY HONDA CARS HAVE "SRS LIGHT COME ON" ISSUES. IN MANY CASES AS I HAVE READ ON ONLINE FORUMS AND BLOGS THE DETECTION IS 1. DRIVER SIDE WIRE HARNESS PROBLEM 2. DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE SENSOR. HONDA MOTORS SHOULD COVER THIS ISSUE AS A PART OF LIFETIME WARRANTY AND A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY ON HONDA CARS WITH SUCH KNOW PROBLEMS.

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L WHICH I BOUGHT NEW WITH 153000 MILES. IT STARTED USING OIL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. AFTER MY LAST OIL CHANGE I CHECKED THE OIL AT ABOUT 1000 MILES AND IT WAS OVER 2 QUARTS LOW WHICH I REPLACED AND CHECKED IT AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 600 MILES AND FOUND IT TO BE OVER A QUART LOW. I HAVE THE OIL & FILTER CHANGED EVER 5000 MILES AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TURNED INTO A PARKING SPACE IN A PARKING LOT, IN MOTION AT SLOW PARKING LOT SPEEDS, WHEN BURST OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED. PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT END UP STOPPING THE CAR OR EVEN SLOWING DOWN THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THIS MADE ME THEN GO TO TURN THE CAR OFF WITH THE KEYS, BUT NOT BEFORE THE CAR ALREADY HAD WENT BEYOND THE PARKING SPACE BUMPER AND INTO THE WALL. A WALL WINDOW WAS BROKEN AND THE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS RUINED. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. INSURANCE DID NOT CHECK THE CAR FOR ERROR CODES AND FILED OFF THE SITUATION AS A TOTAL LOSS, PAYING OFF THE REST I OWED ON THE CAR WITH THE DEDUCTIBLE.
