EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS OUTER SURFACE HAS TURNED CLOUDY. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH CARS BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT GREATLY IMPAIRS VISION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CAR MAKERS CAN CONTINUE TO TO MAKE THEIR HEADLIGHTS OUT OF MATERIALS WE ALL KNOW WILL DISCOLOR AND CREATE A SAFETY PROBLEM.

STRUCTURE:BODY
HI, MY ACCORD'S PAINT HAS BEEN PEELING SINCE APPROX. 1 YEAR AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE. IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE WINDOWS, THEN THE TRUNK, NOW IT IS ON THE TOP AND SIDES AND MORE AROUND WINDOWS. PEELED PARTS AROUND WINDOWS IMMEDIATELY, AND ON THE TRUNK IT STARTED AS SMALL CIRCLES, WHICH HAVE NOW SPREAD TO 50% OF THE CAR- IT IS GOING TO RUST AND THERE IS BARE BODY AND NOT ANY PAINT LEFT IN THESE AREAS. I HAVE MADE MANY ATTEMPTS, ALL WHICH THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PAINT- INCLUDING A $250 QUOTE FROM THE DEALER FOR THE TRUNK ONLY. RECENTLY, I TOOK MY CAR THERE FOR SERVICE AND THEY TOOK A GASH OUT OF MY PAINT IN THE BACK BUMPER SO I HAVE TO GET THE BUMPER PAINTED TOO NOW. SINCE THIS IS A NATIONWIDE DEFECT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE CSTMR SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE! PLEASE HELP! PS- THIS IS MY 2ND HONDA FROM THE SAME DEALER (DEALER WHO ALSO WONT HELP), AND IM ACTUA;;Y READY TO BUY A THIRD BUT AFRAID.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE BEEN IN AND REPLACED MY AIRBAG SENSORS 3 TIMES WITH THE RECALL. AFTER THE 2ND OR 3RD TIME I WAS IN FOR THE RECALL THE LINING OF THE ROOF OF MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY FALLEN IN AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SEE OUT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THE ROOF OF MY CAR AS IT LOOKS NOW. I SHOULD HAVE VIDEO OF THE TRANSITION OF EVENTS BUT I THINK MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE HAS CRASHED COMPLETELY. I HAVE BEEN IN TO HONDA OF CONCORD IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE THEY HAVE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS FAR AS REPAIRING IT FOR FREE AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. WHY HAS NO ONE LOOKED AT A COMPUTER GLITCH AS THE CULPRIT FOR THE AIRBAG SENSORS AUTOMATICALLY RELEASING AIR? SOMETHING HAS TO TRIGGER THE SENSOR TO START SLOWLY RELEASING AIR, AS I WAS TOLD AT HONDA OF SOUTH HILL, VIRGINIA WHERE I ORIGINALLY HAD MY SENSORS REPLACED FOR THE RECALL.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AIR BAG RECALL, A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO SAME DEALER THAT HAD REPLACED AIR BAG AND NOW I'M TOLD THAT THE SRS UNIT HAS GONE BAD AND NO SAFETY FEATURES (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS) WILL WORK IF I AM IN A CRASH. I CAN PAY OVER $730 TO FIX THIS UNIT. ADDITIONALLY, I AM ASKED WHEN MY BATTERY HAD DIED- WHICH IT HASN'T DIED. HOWEVER, THE ONLY TIME IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WHEN MY BATTERY WAS TOUCHED WAS WHEN THEY DISCONNECTED IT TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS RECALLED AIR BAG. THEN I'M TOLD THAT THIS MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY FROM HONDA AND WAS IN NO WAY CONNECTED OR EFFECTED BY THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT THEY DID A FEW MONTHS PRIOR. I FIND THIS INCREDIBLY SUSPECT AND HAVE NOTICED OTHERS POSTING THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT REPLACED AIRBAGS AND SRS UNIT REPLACEMENTS. SO, EVEN AFTER THIS RECALL, I HAVE A CAR THAT ISN'T SAFE AND I FEEL THAT THIS NEW ISSUE IS A RESULT OF THE EARLIER WORK WITH THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS RELATIONSHIP TO SEE IF RECALL REPLACEMENT UNITS OR PROCEDURES ARE CAUSING THIS SRS UNIT TO MALFUNCTION. WE'RE HAVING TO PAY ALMOST $1000 TO FIX THIS AND I DON'T FEEL THAT WE'D BE IN THIS PREDICAMENT WITHOUT SOME FAULT OF HONDA OR THE TECHNICIANS AT MY LOCAL DEALER.

STEERING
STEERING: ON FRIDAY JULY 1, 2016, MY HONDA ACCORD V4 BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE AS I BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. AFTER A SHORT WAIT, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT ONTO THE STREET, BUT THE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY PRONOUNCED AND I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DRIVEWAY. A CHECK OF THE FLUIDS REVEALED VERY LOW POWER STEERING FLUID, BELOW THE MINIMUM LEVEL MARK. AFTER TOPPING UP THE CHAMBER WITH NEW FLUID, THE CAR STARTED AND WAS OPERABLE WITHOUT SHAKING AND NO STEERING PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THE LEVEL IN THE CHAMBER SANK IMMEDIATELY BELOW THE MINIMUM LINE AFTER JUST A MINUTE OR TWO OF OPERATION (I BACKED A SHORT DISTANCE DOWN THE DRIVE). THERE WERE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF FRESH FLUID SPOTS ON THE DRIVE. MORE FLUID WAS ADDED AND THE CAR WAS SUCCESSFULLY DRIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP LOCATED 2 MILES FROM OUR HOME, WHERE IT IS AWAITING REPAIR. THE DEALER REPORTED THIS MORNING THAT BOTH THE HIGH PRESSURE LINE AND THE RETURN LINE WERE LEAKING. SINCE THE CAR WAS DRIVEN WITH NO PROBLEMS OR SIGNS OF LEAKS THE DAY BEFORE, AND BECAUSE THESE LEAKS APPEARED SUDDENLY, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH STEERING OR POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELS, WE BELIEVE THIS FAILURE POSES A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THERE WAS ALSO THE POTENTIAL OF AN ENGINE FIRE DUE TO THE LEAKING FLUID. THE CAR HAS REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND VERY LOW MILEAGE (<30000 MILES). THE NHTSA ISSUED A RECALL IN 2012 (12V222000) FOR 2003-2007 ACCORD V6S. BECAUSE THAT RECALL WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE LINES/HOSES, AND OUR CAR'S HOSES ALSO FAILED IN THE SAME WAY, WE BELIEVE THAT FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO OTHER ACCORD ENGINE SIZES AND VIN NUMBERS SHOULD BE CONDUCTED AND INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA IS NOT WILLING TO RECALL THE TAKATA AIRBAGS AND TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS IN MY CAR, ALTHOUGH HONDA DID RECALL THE ABOVE PARTS ON THE CLOSEST VEHICLES, - HONDA ACCORD COUPE 2006 WITH A 4-CYLINDER ENGINE. I NEED TO KNOW HOW AND WHY MY VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED SAFER THAN THE OTHER 2006 ACCORDS. THIS WAS THE EXPLANATION THAT I GOT WHEN I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 800 999-1009. SHE WASN'T ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS INTO THE PROCESS, NOR DID SHE HAVE ANOTHER NUMBER FOR ME TO CALL.

WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2006 HONDA ACCORD EX-L (4CYL) AND THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY (6 MONTHS BEFORE) HAD THE AIRBAGS REPLACE UNDER THE TAKATA RECALL. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY AND FOUND OUT THAT THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILED AND HAS TO BE REPLACE AT $650.00. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE FAIL AND I AM SURPRISED THAT HONDA IS NOT COVERING THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE PASSENGER WINDOWS SUDDENLY FAILED TO OPERATE EITHER FROM THE DRIVER CONTROL 0R THE PASSENGER CONTROL. ALL FUSES AND RELAYS CHECKED OUT. I HAVE GOGGLED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT OTHER HONDA OWNERS OF OTHER MODELS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM .IT WAS CONCLUDED BY MANY THAT THE CULPRIT WAS THE MASTER CONTROL SWITCH.. SOME JURY RIGGED THE SYSTEM OTHERS PAID $500 TO REPLACE THE SWITCH. T.HE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST RECOGNIZED.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET (NOT MORE THAN 30-35MPH) AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND STOPPED. MY CAR STALLED OR DIED WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I'M NOT CLEAR IF MY CAR STALLED OR DIED COMPLETELY AS I WAS TOO BUSY TRYING TO MAKE SURE OTHER DRIVERS SAW MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND ENGINE COMPLETELY WENT QUIET OR DEAD. BOTH THE CHECK BATTERY AND OIL LIGHTS FLASHED. UPON TURNING OFF MY CAR AND RESTARTING ALL WAS FINE AND LITHE CHECK BATTERY AND OIL LIGHTS WENT OFF. THE CAR DROVE FINE AND LIGHTS HAVE NOT COME ON AGAIN SINCE.
