AFTER RETURNING MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD AT THE REQUEST OF SP HONDA, TULSA,OK., AMERICAN HONDA REP E.P. CONTRADICTED WHAT MECHANIC PREVIOUSLY HAD SAID. THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. THE CONTINUAL LIES NEED TO STOP. HONDA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR RECALLS & FAULTY EQUIPMENT. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE GM STATED " WHY SHOULD WE HELP REPAIR YOUR CAR WHEN YOU DIDN'T PURCHASE IT FROM US?" WHO DOES BUSINESS LIKE THIS? AMERICAN HONDA IS BEING INVESTIGATED AND SP OF TULSA SHOULD BE AS WELL! *TR

AIR BAGS
MY 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 65. FOR NO REASON AT ALL, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS EXPLODED CAUSING A QUICK REACTION UNDER EXTREME FEAR. HONDA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BUT THE LOCAL DEALER "SOUTHPOINT HONDA" HAS BEEN RUDE & ACCUSATORY THAT HONDA IS NOT AT FAULT. THE HONDA RECALL FOR AIRBAGS IS EXPANDING, YET NO HELP. HIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IS PARKED. FOR A SINGLE FATHER THIS IS CAUSING GREAT HARDSHIP, NOT TO MENTION THE INJURY THAT MIGHT OF OCCURRED TO MY ONLY CHILD! THE EXCUSES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!! *TR

I THINK THE POINT OF FILED COMPLAINTS SHOULD NOT ONLY BE REFLECTIVE BUT PROACTIVE. THAT WAY, HOPEFULLY, BOTH THE FEDS AND THE MANUFACTURERS CAN GET AHEAD OF ISSUES BEFORE THEY COME TRAGIC AND/OR COSTLIER. THAT BEING SAID, I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2005 HONDA ACCORD WHICH IS ON THE RECALL LIST REGARDING THE TAKATA AIR BAG FLAW. THERE IS NO RECALL THOUGH, SIMPLY BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT REGISTERED IN ONE OF THE 'HUMID STATES' THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I SUSPECT IT IS A CALCULATED PLOY TO ALLOW TAKATA TO TRIAGE THE MOST PRESSING RECALLS FIRST AND THEN OPEN THE RECALL. THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT IF THIS IS THE CASE, IT SHOULD BE COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC INSTEAD OF MAKING US FEEL A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY WITH A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. WHEN WILL ALL 2005 HONDA ACCORDS RECEIVE THE BLESSING TO BE RECALLED??? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE SEEN THE RECALLS FOR TAKATA AIR BAGS DUE TO INJURIES AND DEATHS ONCE DEPLOYED OF WHICH MY MODEL CAR IS ON THE LIST OF RECALLED VEHICLES. HOWEVER, I DO NOT LIVE IN ONE OF THE STATES THAT IS ON THE RECALL LIST, SO MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON THE ISSUE, I FOUND AN ARTICLE ON THIS WEBSITE, HTTP://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/ABOUT+NHTSA/PRESS+RELEASES/VEHICLE-OWNERS-WITH-DEFECTIVE-AIRBAGS-URGED-TO-TAKE-IMMEDIATE-ACTION, WITH A QUOTE, "RESPONDING TO THESE RECALLS, WHETHER OLD OR NEW, IS ESSENTIAL TO PERSONAL SAFETY AND IT WILL HELP AID OUR ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO TAKATA AIRBAGS AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM RELATED TO EXTENDED EXPOSURE TO CONSISTENTLY HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER, WE'RE LEAVING NO STONE UNTURNED IN OUR AGGRESSIVE PURSUIT TO TRACK DOWN THE FULL GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE," SAID NHTSA DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR [XXX] ." SINCE IT BASICALLY STATES THAT HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE ARE THE CAUSES OF THE FAILURES, I DID AN ONLINE RESEARCH FOR THE AVERAGE HUMIDITY LEVELS WITHIN MY STATE ONLY TO FIND THEM IN LINE WITH THE STATES THAT ARE ON THE RECALL LIST. I FURTHER RESEARCHED THE AVG HUMIDITY LEVELS AND TEMPS OF ALL 50 STATES TO FIND THAT THE HUMIDITY LEVELS OF THE STATES ON THE RECALL LIST ARE LOWER THAN ABOUT 26 OTHER STATES. TO VALIDATE MY FINDINGS, I LOOKED UP THE SAME INFORMATION ON SEVERAL UNRELATED WEBSITES. ONE INTERESTING NOTE, THE AVG. HUMIDITY IN CA (NOT MY STATE) IS HIGHER THAN THESE STATES AND AVG. TEMP. IS ONLY 3 DIFFERENT THAN SC. BASED OFF OF MY INITIAL FINDINGS, I FEEL THAT WHOMEVER IS DETERMINING WHICH VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED SHOULD BE MORE CLEAR ON HOW THEY DETERMINE WHICH VEHICLES ARE SELECTED FOR RECALL. I AM NOW VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR AND WILL CONSIDER REPLACEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS LINKED TO DEATHS, I WANT CLARITY ON THIS INFORMATION ASAP.

NOTHING HAPPENED. DURING THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THE AIRBAG (RED LIGHT) INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD WARNING SYSTEM AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS IS INTERMITTENT, BUT CERTAINLY A CAUSE FOR CONCERN BASED ON THE RECENT RECALLS. WHO WILL FIX THIS FOR ME? *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS BASED ON THE RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY POSED BY THE POTENTIALLY FAULTY AIRBAGS IN ALL 2005 HONDA ACCORDS. NHTSA IS PERMITTING HONDA TO USE MY NYS RESIDENCY AS REASON TO EXCLUDE MY CAR FROM THE RECALL LIST. THE ASSERTION THAT CERTAIN CARS MAY BE MORE AT RISK FOR FAILURE BASED ON GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS MAY OR MAY NOT BE A RATIONAL BASIS FOR PRIORITIZING A SERVICE LIST. IT SHOULD NOT, HOWEVER, BE THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING WHICH CARS ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. BY APPROVING THIS PARTIAL RECALL LIST, NHTSA IS PROTECTING HONDA AND TAKATA. AS LONG AS MY CAR IS EXCLUDED, HONDA IS NOT LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE. HONDA WAS NOT REQUIRED TO NOTIFY ME OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER, AND I WAS UNAWARE BEFORE NOW OF THE RISK. HONDA ALSO AVOIDS PAYING THE COST OF ANY ACTION TAKEN TO MINIMIZE THE RISK, SUCH AS HAVING THE AIRBAGS DISABLED. NHTSA'S ACTIONS ARE SERVING THE INTERESTS OF HONDA RATHER THAT THE AMERICA PUBLIC. *TR
