ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I GOT BACK IN MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AT WAL-MART AND THE CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY IS NO LONGER LIGHTED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF THE WINDOWS FOG UP AND IT IS DARK, YOU CANNOT SEE THE BUTTONS. THE CENTER OF THE CAR THAT SHOULD BE LIGHTED IS COMPLETELY DARK. HONDA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR WANTS TO CHARGE $115.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I READ WHERE THE WARRANTY FOR THIS WAS EXTENDED TO 7 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. MY CAR SHOULD BE COVERED, BUT THE HONDA DEALER SAYS NO. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE GEAR SHIFT RELEASE "BUTTON" DISLODGED FROM THE SHAFT SO YOU WERE UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO A GEAR- IT JUST FELL OUT, NEVER SEEMED LOOSE. WHEN I HAD THE PROBLEM CORRECTED I WAS TOLD BY HONDA THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY PREVELANT IN THE 2004 ACCORD (V-6) AND THAT THEY SELL MANY OF THESE GEAR SHIFT "BUTTONS" A WEEK! THAT TELLS ME THAT THERE IS A SYSTEM-WIDE PROBLEM WITH THIS ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY NORMAL ROUTE AND COMING UP ON MY RIGHT TURN. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS OF MY CAR WENT BLACK AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER MY CAR. WITHIN SECONDS I TRIED TO BRAKE. MY PEDAL WENT DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR AND MY BRAKES NEVER ENGAGED. I HAD NO STEERING AND NO BRAKES GOING 55MPH (FORCING ME THROUGH A RED LIGHT). I WAS T-BONED BY A SUV AT 60MPH (NO SKID MARKS FOR EITHER OF US)- A FULL IMPACT CRASH. MY SIDE OF THE CAR WAS DESTROYED, MY CAR SENT SPINNING INTO AND TAKING OUT A POLE, AND THEN MY CAR SPUN DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS BEING CUT OUT OF MY CAR AND THEN NOTHING PAST THAT. I SPENT THE NEXT 5-6 DAYS AT 2 DIFFERENT HOSPITALS. I SUFFERED LUNG/HEART/BODY TRAUMA (ESPECIALLY DUE TO AIRBAG AND SEATBELT) AND A MAJOR CONCUSSION. WHEREVER THE AIRBAG HIT AND SEATBELT LAY- I'M A RAINBOW OF COLORS. I AM LOOKING AT A LENGTHY RECOVERY AND UNABLE TO RETURN TO WORK FOR A FEW WEEKS, UNABLE TO TAKE COLLEGE FINALS, NOR CAN I RETURN TO COLLEGE NEXT SEMESTER DUE TO HEART TRAUMA. MY HUSBAND AND I HAD MOMENTS OF BRAKE AND STEERING PROBLEMS SPORADICALLY/OCCASIONALLY IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. EACH TIME WE TOOK IN OUR CAR WE WERE TOLD "WE CAN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS". AND THE NOTORIOUS: "THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR YOUR BRAKES". WE HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND THIS INCIDENT HAS AFFECTED EACH OF US. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF SINCE JULY 2014. UNTIL RECENTLY (END OF NOVEMBER 2014), I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. IN TODAY'S WORLD, BUSINESSES ARE NOT EVEN TRYING TO BE RESPONSIBLE TOWARDS THEIR CUSTOMERS AND TRY TO CHARGE FOR AIRBAG LIGHT CHECKING OR REPLACEMENT. TO PROVE IT, EVEN DURING THE MAJOR NATIONAL RECALL FOR HONDA AIRBAG, THE HONDA DEALER: COLUMBUS, OH: GERMAIN HONDA OF DUBLIN 6715 SAWMILL RD DUBLIN, OH 43017 UNITED STATES DECLINES SERVICE. THEY INITIALLY DENIED SERVICE SAYING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OPEN FOR MY VEHICLE BY THE VIN NUMBER, THEN SHE SAID THAT IT WAS ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF SOMETIMES IN 2004. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE 2005 AND WE NEVER HAD IT REPAIRED FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WANT TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT AND NOT LOOK FOR TROUBLE, BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO BE PROACTIVE WHEN THE DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE YOU EVEN WHEN THERE IS A WELL-KNOWN NATIONWIDE RECALL FOR THE VERY PROBLEM YOU ARE REPORTING. PLEASE HELP WITH MAKING IT EASIER FOR CUSTOMERS TO HAVE THEIR CARS REPAIRED WITHOUT HAVING TO FIGHT FOR IT OR CONVINCE THE DEALERS THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THANK YOU! *JS

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD V6 TRANSMISSION DECIDED TO DIE ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER THE 15TH. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I REALIZED THE RPM'S WERE GOING UP, BUT I WASN'T GETTING ANY ACCELERATION. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK MY TRANSMISSION FLUID, OIL AND ETC. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. SO I START BACK ON THE ROAD TRYING TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION. THE NEXT THING I KNOW I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A CHAIN BREAKING OFF AND THE CAR JUMPED BACK LIKE I WAS GEARING DOWN REALLY LOW. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND BLACKED OUT FOR A MINUTE. THANKFULLY I HAD SOMEONE WITH ME AND THEY GRABBED THE STEERING WHEEL AND DIRECTED US OFF THE INTERSTATE. WE LIFTED THE HOOD ONCE AGAIN AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. WE HAD NO ISSUES PRIOR TO THE DATE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. I'M EXTREMELY UPSET BY THIS. THE CAR HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND MAINTAINED REGULARLY. MY FAMILY IS HONDA ENTHUSIAST AND HAVE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS. THAT IS WHY WE ALWAYS BOUGHT HONDA'S, FOR THEIR RELIABILITY. I THINK HONDA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FIXED. FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM AFFECTING TONS AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN RECALLED. I THANK GOD I DIDN'T KILL OR HURT ANYONE DURING THIS ORDEAL. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2014, AT AROUND 8:20 AM, I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON 880. TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT AND THE ROAD IS VERY SMOOTH IN THAT AREA BECAUSE IT WAS REPAVED IN THE LAST YEAR. MY SPEED WAS 65 MPH. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHTMOST LANE BECAUSE I WAS CLOSE TO MY DESTINATION AND BECAUSE FLOW OF TRAFFIC IS SOMEWHAT HIGHER THAN 65MPH IN THE OTHER LANES. WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT IMPACT FROM ANY OTHER VEHICLES OR FROM ANYTHING ON THE ROAD, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ACTIVATED. ALTHOUGH MY EARS WERE RINGING, I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE NEXT EXIT, HEGENBERGER RD, WHICH WAS ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM WHEN THE AIRBAG EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OTHER INDICATIONS OF PROBLEMS BEFORE THE AIRBAG ACTIVATED. *TR

I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR AIR BAG RECALL WITH TAKATA PART -- HONDA FIXED DRIVER SIDE BUT NOW SAYS THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR MY VEHICLE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH 2015 -- HOW CAN THEY ALLOW THE SERIOUSNESS OF SUCH A DEFECT GO ON FOR SO LONG WHILE PUTTING ME AND ANY PASSENGER IN MY AUTO IN POTENTIAL DANGER INCLUDING DEATH. I LIVE IN MIAMI FL WHICH FALLS IN THE MOST HIGH RISK HOT/HUMID AREAS OF THE COUNTRY! *TR

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. BOUGHT VEHICLE USED IN FEB. 2014 FROM DEALER WITH 97,570MI. AT 104,000, TRANSMISSION FAILED. REPAIRS CAN RANGE FROM $4500 TO $3400, WITH EITHER A HONDA REBUILT TRANSMISSION OR MY OWN BEING REBUILT. SINCE HONDA WAS AWARE OF THESE FAILURES (HAD A RECALL BEFORE I WAS AN OWNER) AND THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE CAR WAS LIKELY ALSO AWARE, I FIND THESE PRACTICES TOTALLY DISHONEST AND BORDERING ON ILLEGAL. I PAID ALMOST $10,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF LOW MILEAGE, ONLY TO HAVE A MAJOR FAILURE 8 MONTHS LATER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
HI, THE HONDA KNOCK SENSOR HARNESS WIRE IS MADE WITH LOW-GRADE MATERIAL, WHICH IS GETTING SNAPPED OR CUT DUE TO ENGINE HEAT OR ATTRACTING VERMIN AS PER BLOGS DIRVEACCORD.NET, ODYCLUB.COM AS BEING SOYA BASED. THE PART NUMBER FOR ACCORD V6: P/N 30531-RCA-A00 H/C 7134133 OR ODYSSEY, PILOT: P/N 30531-P8F-A00 H/C 5878327. THIS WIRE COST IS $5-$6 BUT IT TAKES ABOUT $600 TO $700 TO REPLACE IN LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH ENGINE MALFUNCTION HAPPENING WITH P0325 CODE WHICH INDICATES KNOCK SENSOR MALFUNCTION. THE SENSOR FAILING SUDDENLY WITH OUT WARNING IS CAUSING UNTOLD HARD SHIPS TO ALL THE HONDA OWNERS AND ITS NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE AND OVER HEATING. SO I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE AND REQUEST HONDA TO ISSUE AN RECALL OF THIS SMALL 3INCH WIRE AND AVOID HEADACHES TO THE COMMON PEOPLE. I ALSO SEE LOT OF PEOPLE WITH ACURA, HONDA ACCORD,ODY HAVE REPORTED WITH HONDA OF THIS PROBLEM FROM YEAR 2004 AND FIND BELOW IS A COPY OF THE LETTER FROM A BLOG. THAT IT WAS REPORTED WITH SEPT 10,2004 WITH CASE NO B012004-09-07011 TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.,1919 TORRANCE BLVD.,TORRANCE, CA 90501 HTTP://ACURAZINE.COM/FORUMS/PROBLEMS-FIXES-114/KNOCK-SENSOR-CHEWED-MOUSE-MICE-EATING-WIRES-MOUSE-ATE-MY-TL-MERGED-THREADS-554357/ THE URL IS: HTTP://WWW.ACURA-TL.COM/FORUMS/SHOWT...2&PAGE=1&PP=25. *TR

2004 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL CONCERNING AN AIRBAG DEFECT. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2004 FOR A SAFETY DEFECT RELATED TO THE AIR BAGS. SOON AFTER THE DEFECT WAS SUPPOSEDLY REMEDIED, AN INTERMITTENT SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED, IT WAS NOT A SEAT BELT ISSUE, BUT AN AIR BAG ISSUES. THE CONSUMER WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY INFORMED HIM, IT WOULD COST % 199.00 TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED HONDA MOTOR COMPANY, AND WAS INFORMED, THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS, THAT WERE NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. *JB
