AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD. TOOK TO DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS THE DRIVER SEAT MODULE AND WOULD COST $300. CHECKED PREVIOUS HONDA RECALLS AND THE SAME COMPLAINT WAS RECALLED FOR 81000 CARS BUT MINE WASN'T LISTED (RECALL 07V001000 THERE ARE A FEW OTHER COMPLAINTS INDICATING THE SAME PROBLEM AND AS THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE, PERHAPS HONDA SHOULD EXTEND ITS RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. I ASKED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED (TO DETERMINE IF THE DATE WAS AROUND THE PERIOD WHEN THE OTHER CARS WERE RECALLED) BUT THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT INFO. *TR

WITHOUT WARNING MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY TODAY. WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AT THE END OF THE RAMP, THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT ANY HIGHER THAN 2ND GEAR, COULDN'T INCREASE SPEED TO AVOID ONCOMING CARS, HAD NO POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE CURB TO AVOID BEING HIT. TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS TRAVELING EAST ON I-195. I SAW THAT A POLICE OFFICER HAD A VEHICLE PULLED OVER ON THE RIGHT. I MOVED OVER TO THE LEFT LANE. WHEN I DID, I CROSSED ONTO THE RUMBLE STRIP ON THE LEFT OF THE HIGHWAY. I APPLIED THE BRAKES WHILE ON THE RUMBLE STRIP AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WILDLY. I TRIED TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL. MY HUSBAND PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. INSTEAD OF SLOWING US DOWN; THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL. I CLEARLY REMEMBER THE LAST MOMENTS SCREAMING BRAKES! BRAKES! WE THEN WENT SIDEWAYS BEFORE GOING ACROSS THE GRASS MEDIAN INTO OPPOSING TRAFFIC. WE WERE IMMEDIATELY STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY A VEHICLE-TRAVELING WEST. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE FULL FORCE OF THE IMPACT AND WAS KILLED INSTANTLY. I WENT INTO A COMA. I WAS AIRLIFTED TO TEXAS NEURO REHAB IN AUSTIN FROM CAPITAL HEALTH HAMILTON, NJ. NOW I AM PERMANENTLY DISABLED. NOT A MOMENT IN MY LIFE HAS GONE BY SINCE THAT DAY WITHOUT THINKING OF MY HUSBAND AND WHAT HAPPENED TO US. I REMAINED IN A COMA UNTIL OCT, 2005 I WOKE UP IN TX. I HAVE PERMANENTLY LOST MY ABILITY TO WALK, TALK, OR WRITE NORMALLY. HONDA ISSUED A RECALL IN 2005. I RECEIVED IT AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I NEVER GAVE UP HOPE OF FINDING THE TRUE CAUSE. RECENT PROBLEMS WITH OTHER HYBRID VEHICLES WERE EXPOSED. I CONTINUED LOOKING ON THE WEB FOR HONDA OWNERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, AND HAVE FOUND MANY. LIMITED SPACE PROHIBITS ME FROM GIVING YOU MORE THAN ONE LINK. HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2005/HONDA/ACCORD_HYBRID, FOR THE BRAKE PROBLEM. THIS COMPLAINT IS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES ON THE RUMBLE STRIP. OUR ACCIDENT REPORT STATES: 'VEHICLE #1 SWERVED OVER THE LEFT SIDE RUMBLE STRIP, CAME BACK ONTO THE LEFT LANE, ACCELERATED BACK OVER THE LEFT SIDE RUMBLE STRIP OFF THE ROADWAY THROUGH THE GRASS MEDIAN AND ONTO WESTBOUND TRAFFIC THERE WERE NO STRAIGHT-LINE SKID MARKS ON THE HIGHWAY FROM MY VEHICLE, ONLY YAW MARKS WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DURING THE COOLER SEASON, WHILE PARKED THE BRAKE VACUUM SYSTEM LOSE THE BRAKE VACUUM. SO WHEN YOU GET IN AND PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT IS HARD SINCE THERE IS NO MORE VACUUM IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE PARKED ON A HILL WITH VEHICLES AROUND YOU. YOU COULD END UP HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM SYSTEM COULD FAIL WHILE DRIVING MAKING BRAKING INEFFECTIVE.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SEAT BELTS
THE SEAT BELTS IN THE 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID PROVIDED NO SAFETY IN A COLLISION. THE AIRBAGS ALSO FAILED TO DEPLOY IN THE SAME COLLISION. I WAS THE PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT OF A 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID WHEN WE REAR ENDED A VOLVO S-80. THE VOLVO THEN STRUCK AN ALTIMA. THE ACCORD STRUCK THE VOLVO WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE. THE VOLVO'S TRUNK WAS DAMAGED AND WOULD NOT OPEN. THE STRUCTURAL BAR IN THE ACCORD PROTECTING THE RADIATOR WAS ALSO BEND BEYOND REPAIR. I HAD THE PASSENGER SEAT AS FAR BACK AS IT WOULD GO AND WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. DURING THE COLLISION MY KNEES STRUCK THE FRONT DASH AND SWELLED. THE DRIVER ALSO SUFFERED SEVERE KNEE PAIN MOSTLY LIKELY FROM STRIKING HER KNEES AGAINST THE DASH OR STEERING COLUMN. I BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. EVEN IF THE BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY THEN THE SEAT BELTS SHOULD HAVE HELD. THE SEAT BELTS IN THE 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID PROVIDED NO SAFETY IN A COLLISION.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX-L WAS ILLUMINATED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE WIRING SUBHARNESS. THIS WAS THE SAME SYMPTOM, ISSUE AND RESOLUTION AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN #06E064000. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE INCLUDED IN THE VIN NUMBERS RECALLED PER THAT CAMPAIGN AND I FEEL THAT HONDA DIDN'T RESOLVE THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT BY THE TIME MY VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED. IN OTHER WORDS, I DON'T THINK HONDA RECALLED ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS AT THE WHEEL OF MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD, SLOWLY EASING IT IN TO A PARKING SPOT IN A PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD, HITTING THE CONCRETE WALL. I PUT MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE AND ATTEMPTED TO BACK THE CAR UP A FEW INCHES TO SEE WHAT DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE. WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY ACCELERATED BACKWARDS AT A RAPID RATE OF SPEED AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL ABOUT 30 FEET BEHIND THE SPOT. THE LEFT REAR OF THE CAR WAS CRUSHED INWARD ABOUT TWO FEET, SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE ENTIRE REAR, THE SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, AND I SUSTAINED A NUMBER OF INJURIES WHICH HAVE PREVENTED ME FROM RETURNING TO WORK THREE WEEKS AFTER THE EVENT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY, STATE FARM, TOTALED THE CAR AND IS RETAINING IT FOR INVESTIGATION. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOSS OF LIGHTS ON CONTROLS FOR HEATING, DEFROST AND ALL OTHER CLIMATE CONTROLS. OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL WEEKS, I HAD AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF BACKLIGHT TO THE CLIMATE CONTROLS FOR MY CAR. THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING AS THE DOME LIGHTS MUST BE SWITCHED ON AND IT TAKES LONGER TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE CONTROL FOR DEFROST FOR THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS ALSO RELATED TO THE BACKLIGHT ON THE RADIO, WHICH WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORDS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT, THEN COME BACK ON AGAIN WHEN I WENT OVER A BUMP OR TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS ON OR OFF (INDICATING AN ELECTRICAL INSTEAD OF BULB PROBLEM). THE LOSS OF FUNCTION INCREASED GRADUALLY IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF OUTAGES, LENGTH AND DURATION. THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN AFTER TWO NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO TRYING TO TURN ON THE DEFROSTER WHILE DRIVING. DESPITE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH PRIOR YEAR ACCORDS IN THE EXACT SAME SYSTEM, FOR WHICH HONDA HAS ISSUED RECALLS, I DID HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR
