AIR BAGS
GERALD JONES HONDA ON 12/23/17 INSPECTED "SRS LT ON" AND TECH CLIFFORD WARNER WROTE IN INVOICE "NO CODES NEED SRS UNIT" AND CHARGED $120. THE SRS LIGHT ALWAYS COMES ON WHEN CAR IS TURNED ON. I DO NOT THINK IT IS SAFE AIR BAG SYSTEM. HONDA MOTORS REFUGE TO EVEN TALK FURTHER AND IT WANTS ME GET RESPECTED AGAIN AND AGAIN. I HAD FOUR TOTAL INSPECTION AND TEST RESULTS DOES NOT GIVE ANY ERROR CODES. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

SERVICE BRAKES
HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR INSPECTIONS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHICH CAME BACK WITH NO ISSUES. REPORTED TO OWNER/CEO OF COMPANY AS WELL. BRAKES DO NOT WORK WHEN USED IN AN EMERGENCY. THE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WILL NOT STOP EVEN AFTER PUNCHING THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES. WORSE WHEN ON A DECLINE OF A HILL. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REDONE AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED AND ENDED UP IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAULTINESS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I'M GLAD IT WASN'T WORSE THAN IT WAS BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF CLOSE CALLS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE HAVE FOUND THAT ARE 2009 HONDA ACCORD HAS A PARASITIC DRAW WE HAVE TO PULL FUSES SO THE BATTERY DOES NOT GO DEAD WITHIN HOURS. HAVE TRIED NEW BATTERIES, CHARGE BATTERIES. THROUGH OUR OWN RESEARCH PEOPLE ARE CALLING THIS PROBLEM A PARASITIC DRAW FROM THE BATTERY AND ITS A MATTER OF TRACING WIRES DOWN AND PULLING FUSES. AND IF YOU WANT TO USE CAR WITHOUT RUNNING BATTERY DOWN MY HUSBAND HAS PULLED A FUSE OR TWO BUT THIS DISABLES SEVERAL THINGS RADIO, SOME DASHBOARD FUNCTIONS. WHICH IF IT KEEPS GOING COULD BE PROBLEMATIC ON THE FUNCTION OF THE HONDA MAYBE AFFECTING LIGHTS EVENTUALLY OR OTHER SAFETY FEATURES. SO WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND HOW BAD IT CAN GET AND HOW IT CAN BE FIXED. SOME PEOPLE WERE DISCONNECTING WIRES TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. WHEN WE BOUGHT CAR IT HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED. SO THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY INCREASED AS TIME HAS PASSED.

ENGINE
MY CAR HAS A HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, WHICH IS CAUSING RATTLING SOUND TO COME FROM THE ENGINE. I'M AFRAID THAT MY ENGINE MIGHT CATCH FILE BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL AS WELL. I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM TO THE HONDA DEALER FROM PAST TWO YEARS, BUT THEY NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL AND WERE ASKING ME MONEY IN THE RANGE OF $3000-$4000 TO FIX IT. NOW WHEN I KNOW THAT IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL, THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I'VE TO PAY EVERYTHING FROM MY POCKET. HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2016/SB-10083874-2280.PDF I FEEL THE HONDA DEALERS ARE CHEATING THEIR CUSTOMERS, NOT INFORMING THEM ABOUT THE POTENTIAL ISSUES, AND TRYING TO GOUGE THEM THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR FIXING THEIR CARS. WE, AS A CONSUMER, DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE VEHICLE INTERNAL WORKINGS, SO HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO AGREE TO WHATEVER THEY ASK TO CHARGE.

RECENLY PURCHACED THIS 09ACCORD EX COUPE AUTOMATIC 5SPEED 4 CYLINDER FROM A USED DEALERSHIP WITH NO WARRENTY. 3 OR 4 DAYS LATERI NOTICED A BRIEF BUT LOUD RATTLE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ONLY ON COLD START UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON THIS ISSUE AND I DEFINETLY CAN BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFTY ISSUE IF THE ENGINE BECOMES DAMAGED WHILD DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE WITH THE VTC ACTUATOR. I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS THERE IS A TSB ON THE ISSUE THAT CLEARLY STARES IT AS A DEFECT.

DRIVER'S AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER SAID THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER/RECEIVER THAT CAUSES THE AIRBAG TO OPERATE. THEY CHARGED $700 TO REPAIR. MY QUESTION IS WHETHER THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR.
