AIR BAGS
DRIVING SOUTH ON I 81 AT APPROXIMATELY MM 167.3. HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE, THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE HAD A BLOW OUT. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL SO I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE AND I PULLED OFF ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. NO FLAT, NOTHING BURNING, NO DAMAGE TO CAR. GOT BACK IN MY CAR AND REALIZED PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS FROM FRONT TO BACK HAD DEPLOYED, THAT IS WHAT I WAS SMELLING BUT AT THE TIME I DID NOT REALIZE MY AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. I WAS ALONE BUT THERE IS A CHILD CAR SEAT IN MY BACKSEAT AND IF ONE OF MY GRANDCHILDREN HAD BEEN IN THE CAR SEAT OR A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY INJURED. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE PROVIDED ME A LOANER VEHICLE AT NO COST TO ME. THEY DID CALL THIS MORNING TO VERIFY THAT I HAD NOT RAN OVER ANYTHING OR HIT ANYTHING. THERE IS NOT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY WOULD GIVE ME A CALL ONCE THEY FIGURED THIS ALL OUT. I AM NOW WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE. *TR

AIR BAGS
HONDA REPLACED THE TAKATA DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG ON MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD IN JANUARY 2015 UNDER THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. HOWEVER, HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE THE TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY CAR. I DO NOT LIVE IN A HIGH HUMIDITY STATE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DECISION BY HONDA NOT TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AS THERE ARE NEWS REPORTS OF INJURY TO A PASSENGER FROM A TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IN 2013. NHTSA NEEDS TO ORDER HONDA TO REPLACE THE TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ON AFFECTED HONDA CARS BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS INJURED. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I PURCHASED MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BACK RIGHT WINDOW NOT WORKING. WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF OWNING THIS CAR, THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW AND BOTH OF THE BACK WINDOWS JUST STOPPED WORKING AT ALL. I HAVE TRIED USING THE FRONT MAIN SWITCH AS WELL AS THE INDIVIDUAL SWITCHES TO UNROLL THEM AND ALL THAT HAPPENS IS A CLICK EVERY TIME I TRY TO UNROLL EACH ONE. MY PASSENGER WINDOW IS STUCK HALF WAY DOWN WITH NO WAY TO ROLL IT UP. THE ONLY WINDOW THAT WORKS IS THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDOW NOW. I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK IS UNLOCKED EACH TIME I TRY TO UNROLL EACH OF THEM. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS KIND OF DEFAULT? *TR

EQUIPMENT, AIR BAGS
I HAVE A HONDA ACCORD 2005 AND HAVE NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO LIGHT UP SHOWING THERE IS SOME DEFECT. I COULD NEVER FIND A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND THE LIGHT HAVE COME ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE WE ARE MILITARY AND NOW WITH THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE I HAVE FOUND OUT TALKING WITH THE CORPORATE HONDA DEALER THEY ARE ONLY GETTING THE VEHICLE LOCATION FROM LOCAL DMV OFFICES. THE PROBLEM IS MILITARY REGISTER THEIR CARS IN THEIR HOME STATE, BUT LIVE IN OTHER STATES. SO MY CAR IS IN CA AND HAS ALSO BEEN IN FL AND VA. BECAUSE OF THIS OVERSIGHT, IT APPEARS I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. I CALLED HONDA TO CONFIRM IF THE FAULTY PART IS IN MY VEHICLE, AND HONDA REFUSES TO TELL ME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD "I AM NOT PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE I AM NOT ON THE LIST". BUT IF I HAVE THE PART, AND SINCE MY CAR HAS BEEN IN A RECALL STATE, I SHOULD BE INCLUDED. IT IS A TOTAL LACK OF COORDINATION AND RECORD KEEPING. THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN AND REFUSE TO ASSIST. I HAVE WARNED THEM I AM PREGNANT WITH TWINS AND NEED TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, BUT THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN. THIS AMOUNTS TO NEGLIGENCE AND I AM NOW WORRIED HONDA DOES NOT CARE ONE BIT FOR MY SAFETY OR THE SAFETY OF MY UNBORN TWINS. *TR
