WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I NOTICED WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON GAS IT WASN'T RESPONDING. I GOT A FEW MORE FEET DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR STOPPED. I THE TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY SHOT AT 97000 MILES . THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED VERY WELL WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID BEING CHANGED. I KNOW HONDA HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS .THIS IS THE SECOND HONDA I HAVE OWNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND AFTER THIS IT MIGHT BE THE LAST HONDA I OWN.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AROUND 1230AM 12/27/15 LAST NIGHT FROM A FRIENDS HOUSE TO OUR HOME ABOUT A 5 MILE DRIVE WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WENT OFF FOR NO REASON. THE ROAD I WAS ON WAS A LOCAL ROAD. I WAS DRIVING NORMAL AND SAFELY BECAUSE IT WAS LATE AND VERY DARK AT THE TIME. IT EXPLODED TWICE. I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVER POSITION. MY WIFE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FELT A BLAST ON HER CHEST. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG NEVER WENT OFF. I FELT A BLAST AS WELL AND LUCKILY NOTHING HIT MY FACE. SMOKE FILLED THE CABIN. WE OPENED THE WINDOWS AND GOT OUT FAST. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT IT WAS PITCH BLACK WHERE WE WERE. WE WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE DECIDING WE SHOULD TRY TO DRIVE HOME...SINCE WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME, I DROVE HOME. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO PUT IN A CLAIM BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAD PREVIOUSLY WENT TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE TO GET THE AIRBAGS FIXED. I WENT ON MAY 7 2015 AND OCTOBER 13 2015. I WANTED THIS NOTED IN CASE. WE WERE SCARED. I NEVER EXPECTED THIS AIRBAG TO GO OFF FOR NO REASON B/C I HAD GONE IN TWICE FOR RECALLS. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED B/C THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PROGRESSIVE IS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME ON MONDAY FOR THE NEXT STEP.

HONDA DEALER REPLACED AN AIRBAG AND NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. DEALER SAYS I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE MY SRS SYSTEM FOR $800.00. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY HAVE DISTANCED THEMSELVES FROM THE DEALER. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE GM OF TAMPA HONDA, [XXX] AND THE SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] AND THEY BOTH SAY ONE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER. I FEEL THAT I AM A VICTIM OF DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICE BY TAMPA HONDA. I ADVISED THEM THAT I AM CURRENTLY AT RISK DRIVING THE CAR AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THEIR ATTORNEY [XXX] AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING FOR THEM TO DO. I WILL HAVE MY ATTORNEY WRITE THEM A LETTER OF DISCLOSURE THIS WEEK. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE FROM THE NHTSA. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 2 MINUTES. I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH IT. MY ENGINE ROARED, BUT DID NOT GO ANYWHERE. SO I LOOKED AROUND, AND CARS WERE UP ON ME, NEARLY REAR-ENDING ME. THEY WERE UPSET THAT I MASHED MY BRAKES, RATHER THAN DRIVING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS FOR THEM TO GO AROUND ME, AS I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IT KEPT ROLLING BACK, REVERSE, IT KEPT ROLLING AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, DRIVE, IT KEPT ROLLING. I HAD TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKES UP TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. AFTER NEARLY GETTING HIT FROM THE REAR NUMEROUS TIMES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS INTO A PARKING LOT AND PARK IT. IT TOOK ME NEARLY 3 HOURS TO FINALLY GET THE CAR TOWED HOME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN FATALITIES AS A RESULT OF THIS. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN WARNED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD OCCUR IN THIS VEHICLE. MY TRANSMISSION PUT ME DOWN. I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT I HAD GOTTEN OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. MY COMPLAINT #: 1-07-825-30. PLEASE, REMEDY THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMETHING MAJOR HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

I RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES FROM HONDA IN THE PAST YEAR AND I CONTACTED LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS FOR FIXING MY PROBLEM.

WHILE WAITING TO HAVE OUR AIRBAG RECALL DONE THE SSR LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO OFF AND ON . WE THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE AIRBAG RECALL ON THE VEHICLE . AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE , THE SSR LIGHT CONTINUE TO STAY ON . THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT HONDA SAID IT WAS THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE SEAT THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WOULD COST $290.00 TO FIX THIS. I INVESTIGATED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR THAT DID HAVE RECALLS ON THEM. THE 2006 HONDA ACCORD WAS NOT LISTED FOR A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT, FOUND MANY CUSTOMERS WITH COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. ON NHTSA REPORTS THEY HAD A ARTICLE STATING HONDA RECALLS 81,000.00 ACCORDS OVER AIRBAG SENSOR. THEY WERE RECALLING 2004-05 ACCORD SEDANS. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THIS TO 2006 VEHICLES.

AFTER A 3 MONTH WAIT BACK IN 2014, MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WAS FINALLY REPLACED ON 1/12/15 BY CORAL SPRINGS AUTOMALL HONDA'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. A MONTH AGO I GET ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE ON THE AIRBAG AND SORT OF SKIM OVER IT THINKING I JUST GOT IT REPLACED. I WAS JUST DOUBLE CHECKING THAT ALL SAFETY RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE ON THE CAR WHEN I REALIZED THAT THIS LAST RECALL WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE DEALER SHIP ONLY REPLACED THE INFLATOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE ALSO ARE IN THE SAME BOAT NOT REALIZING HONDA DID NOT BOTHER REPLACING BOTH FRONT SIDE AIR BAGS AND SEEING THIS SECOND NOTICE THAT IT WAS ALREADY FIXED. THERE ARE MANY AVENUES TO ADDRESS THIS AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE NHTSA MAKE A NEWS RELEASE ADDRESSING THIS VERY ISSUE FOR ALL CAR OWNERS - SPECIFICALLY THAT BOTH AIRBAGS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IF YOU PREVIOUSLY TOOK YOUR CAR IN, DEALERSHIPS DID NOT BOTHER TO REPLACE BOTH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS THE THIRD DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON THIS CAR THAT HAS FAILED. I KNOW THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION AGAINST HONDA FOR LATER MODEL YEAR ACTUATORS BUT IT DID NOT ENCOMPASS 2006. THE SAFETY PROBLEM IS THAT IF A PERSON WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE LOCKED CAR IN A HURRY THE ELECTRICAL LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON WOULDN'T UNLOCK THE CAR. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED TO THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, THEN IN 2009 THE RIGHT REAR FAILED AND NOW IN 2015 THE RIGHT FRONT FAILED. I THINK BECAUSE OF THE FREQUENCY OF FAILURE THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM POSSIBLY AN EXTENSION OF THE DESIGN PROBLEMS THAT LEAD TO THE LATER MODEL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURES.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I BACKUP UP IN A PARKING LOT AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE THE CAR WENT FULL THROTTLE IN REVERSE AND HIT A CEMENT STRUCTURE BEHIND ME AND KEPT HITTING IT. MY BRAKES DID NOTHING TO STOP THE REPEATED COLLISIONS SO I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND IT WENT FULL THROTTLE ACROSS THE PARKING LOT AND WAS GOING TO GO OFF A CLIFF AND YET I HAD NO BRAKES. THE ONLY CONTROL I HAD WAS STEERING. I WAS GOING WITH A FULL THROTTLE AND MANAGED TO STEER AWAY FROM THE CLIFF AND A BUILDING AND HEADED TOWARDS A CHAIN LINK FENCE TO TRY TO STOP MY TRAVEL. IT DID NOT STOP ME BECAUSE THE CAR WAS GOING SO FAST. IT WENT THROUGH THE FENCE AND THE YARD AND THEN THROUGH THE NEXT FENCE AND WAS THEN AIRBORNE BETWEEN THE TREES TILL I HIT THE GROUND AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE WHICH WAS ABOUT 15 FEET LOWER. THEN CONTINUED TO SPEED ACROSS A FIELD TILL IT GOT CAUGHT IN A DITCH. I HAD NO BRAKES DURING THE ENTIRE INCIDENT...UPDATED 08/27/15 *BF UPDATED 12/3/15 *JS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, I PRESSED MY BRAKES AND NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY. I HAD TO PUT MORE PRESSURE ON MY BRAKES THAN NORMALLY NEEDED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT I EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA ACCORD BRAKES WEAR TOO QUICKLY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE, IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.
