AIRBAG WARNING LAMP ON DASHBOARD BEGAN TO LIGHT UP SPORADICALLY. LATER IN THE MONTH THE CAR WAS TAKEN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER, IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE LIGHT INDICATED A PROBLEM WHICH PREVENTS THE MECHANICS FROM KNOWING IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS DEFECT IS ONLY COVERED FOR HONDA ACCORD V6 MODELS 2001-2005 AND HAS A QUOTED REPAIR OF $700-900. *TR

AFTER LEAVING MY SON'S TRACK MEET, THE A/C BEGAN BLOWING WARM AIR. MY HUSBAND WENT AND BOUGHT REFRIGERANT, AND AS HE WAS PUTTING IT IN, MIST/SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE A/C CONDENSER. APPARENTLY A PEBBLE HIT THE CONDENSER WHICH NOW HAS A PIN HOLE IN IT. HONDA DOESN'T COVER IT AND IT'S EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. THERE'S TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THERE NOT TO BE A RECALL ON IT. *TR

STEERING
MY 2006 ACCORD ALONG WITH 500,000+ OTHERS AND 52,000+ ACURA TLS HAD A RECALL REGARDING THE POWER STEERING HOSE. I WANT TO MENTION I HAVE OWNED 20 SOME CARS OVER THE YEARS, MANY WITH 200,000 MILES OR MORE. SO, IN JUNE I TOOK MY ACCORD IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED MY POWER STEERING FELT A LITTLE OFF...SO, TURNS OUT HONDA STATED MY POWER STEERING PUMP WAS FAILING AND REPLACED IT. AND, THERE WAS NO ASSOCIATION WITH THE POWER STEERING HOSE RECALL, SO EXPENSE WAS ALL ON ME. NOW, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EXACTLY 1 POWER STEERING PUMP IN MY LIFE AND IT WAS ODDLY ON THE ONLY CAR THAT EVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH A POWER STEERING HOSE...COINCIDENCE? I DO FIND THIS TROUBLESOME FOR 2 REASONS, 1) POWER STEERING WORKS OFF PRESSURE AND IF A HOSE IS FAULTY THAT WOULD IMPACT THE PRESSURE AND THUS POTENTIALLY CAUSE PUMPS TO OVERWORK,ETC AND 2) SINCE THE HOSE WAS RECALLED, WAS THE IDENTIFICATION OF A FAILED PUMP A COST RECOVERY DISCOVERY? I ASK THIS SECOND ONE BECAUSE MY POWER STEERING FELT WORSE AFTER REPLACEMENT AND TURNED OUT I JUST NEEDED MY TIRES ROTATED. I DID WRITE TO HONDA BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE. THE PURPOSE HERE HOWEVER IS CIVIC DUTY IN NATURE AND I FELT IT WORTH ASKING THE QUESTION, HOW MANY OF THE 550,000+ RECALLS FOR POWER STEERING HOSES HAVE ALSO RESULTED IN POWER STEERING REPLACEMENTS? *TR

AIR BAGS
DEAR SIR OR MADAM, THE AIR BAGS (DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE) DEPLOYED ON MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD AT LESS THAN 10MPH WITH MY SEAT BELTS ON RESULTING IN SCRATCHES ON MY LEFT FRONT BUMPER (NO OTHER VISIBLE HARD IMPACT DAMAGE). THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE PERFORMING A SLOW TURN INTO A PARKING LOT SPOT. I HAD CONTACTED BOTH HONDA USA AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP EXPRESSING MY CONCERN THAT ONCE REPAIRED, THE AIR BAGS COULD AGAIN UNINTENTIONAL DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. HONDA USA ASKED ME TO TAKE CAR TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND EVALUATION. I BROUGHT MY CAR AT HONDA DEALER BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT EQUIPPED WITH SKILL AND TOOLS TO INSPECT AND EVALUATE AND STATED THAT I SHOULD GO TO A THIRD PARTY COLLISION SHOP. I CONTACTED HONDA USA AGAIN AND THEY ASKED ME TO GO TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO DETERMINE IF A DEFECT IS PRESENT. I BELIEVE THOSE ARE UNACCEPTABLE AND SURPRISING SUGGESTIONS. IT IS MY BELIEVE THAT HONDA HAS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE AIR BAG SENSOR AND DOES NOT WISH TO INVESTIGATE AND/OR ACKNOWLEDGE CULPABILITY IN A DEFECTIVE SAFETY COMPONENT. REQUESTING TO ADVISE ME ON HOW SHOULD I PROCEED. *TR
