  AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE

  BRAND NEW 2007 HONDA ACCORD LX PURCHASED THE CAR ON FEBRUARY 16, 2007. ON FEBRUARY 19, I STARTED THE CAR AND THE SRS INDICATOR LAMP STAYED LIT THE ENTIRE TIME THE CAR WAS OPERATING. EACH TIME I STARTED THE CAR LATER ON THAT DAY, THE SRS LAMP DID NOT STAY ON AFTER THE INITIAL START-UP. ON FEBRUARY 20, I DROVE TO WORK AND DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHT STAYING ON, BUT LATER IN THE DAY WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE SRS LAMP CAME ON AND STAYED ON THE ENTIRE TIME I DROVE IT. THE CAR HAS A TOTAL OF 150 MILES AND ALREADY AM HAVING SRS SENSOR GLITCHES. *NM

  SEATS

  2007 HONDA ACCORD LX. DELIVERY TAKEN IN DECEMBER 2006. FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BECOME EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE TO SIT IN AND DRIVE. LUMBAR SUPPORT "WINGS" ARE EXTREMELY HARD CAUSING SEVERE PAIN AND NUMBNESS IN MY LOWER BACK (PAIN AND NUMBNESS LAST FOR A TIME AFTER I GET OUT OF CAR) IF I SIT AND DRIVE OVER 15 MINUTES. I VISITED DEALERSHIP, TOLD NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND TO BUY A LUMBAR ROLL FOR MY SEAT. CAME HOME AND CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT "A TECH SAYS" THE FOAM CAN IN FACT BECOME VERY HARD UNDER COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS AS BEING EXPERIENCED IN MASSACHUSETTS IN 2007. WAS TOLD TO GO OUT AND BUY A LUMBAR SUPPORT PILLOW THAT INFLATES AND PUT IT IN CAR ONLY WHEN I DRIVE AND RUN THE HEATER BEFORE I GET IN FOR A WHILE. PROBLEM SHOULD DISAPPEAR WHEN WEATHER WARMS UP, BUT WILL CONTINUE DURING COLD WEATHER. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, CAR CANNOT BE GARAGED TO PROTECT AGAINST COLD WEATHER. HOW CAN I DRIVE THIS CAR IN THE FUTURE WINTERS WITH THIS EXISTING PROBLEM? *NM

  EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS

  THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT A PARTICULAR MODEL CAR THAT I DO NOT OWN, BUT HAVE DRIVEN BEHIND AT NIGHT. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE NEW, 2007 I THINK, HONDA ACCORD, ARE PAINFULLY BRIGHT. THEY ARE SO BRIGHT, I PULLED DOWN THE VISOR TO SHIELD MY EYES THE OTHER NIGHT, AND MY 12 YEAR OLD CHILD COMPLAINED BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT EFFECTIVELY DO THE SAME. I HAVE NOTICED THIS SEVERAL TIMES AT DARK, AND HAVE FINALLY REMEMBERED TO SIT DOWN AND SUBMIT A COMPLAINT. THIS MODEL HONDA ACCORD HAS LED TAILLIGHTS. THE TAILLIGHTS ARE NOT TOO BRIGHT, WHEN THE CAR IS NOT BRAKING. IT IS JUST WHEN THE CAR IS BRAKING AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. I HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHER CARS USING LED LIGHTS, SUCH AS HYUNDAI'S AND KIA'S THAT DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. IS THERE A STANDARD OF BRIGHTNESS THAT LIGHTS ARE MEASURED AGAINST? I THINK THESE MUST FAIL. THEY ARE TOO BRIGHT, AND SHOULD AT LEAST BE ADJUSTED ON UNSOLD CARS, AND NEXT YEAR'S MODEL. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *JB

  SUSPENSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, STRUCTURE

  DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING SOUND FROM THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE SOUND ALSO OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS. THE SALES/SERVICE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED. WHEN THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, SO THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE SALES/SERVICE DEALER. THE SALES/SERVICE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE A REFUND, REPLACE THE VEHICLE OR TO REPLACE THE SEAL TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. *NM THE CONSUMER FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING IMPROPERLY SEALED WINDSHIELDS (MOLDING PROBLEMS) THAT CAUSE POPPING/RATTLING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT HEAR THE NOISE. *NM THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE DASHBOARD AND IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR WERE TIGHTENED BECAUSE THEY WERE LOOSE. THIS AFFECTED THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THE LEFT FRONT STRUT AND THE FIREWALL WERE TOO CLOSE AND WERE RUBBING TOGETHER. THE GASKETS WERE SHRINKING AROUND THE WINDSHIELD WHICH WERE CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD VIBRATING PROBLEMS. THE WINDSHIELD SPRAYER WAS CLOGGED. THE EXHAUST HEAT SHIELDS WERE LOOSE. THE FRONT DOOR WINDOW CHANNELS WERE LUBRICATED AND FINALLY REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE RATTLING NOISE. THE DOOR JAMBS WERE IRREGULAR WHICH ADDED TO THE WINDOW RATTLING PROBLEM.
