HELLO, NEITHER THE NHTSA RECALL WEBSITE NOR HONDA'S WEBSITE INDICATES THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG IGNITER ON MY VEHICLE, YET THE DEALERSHIP MAILED/CALLED ME ABOUT AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. WHEN I QUESTIONED THEM, THEY WERE ABLE TO SHOW THAT THEY VERIFIED THE RECALL APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE. MY QUESTION/CONCERN: WHY WOULD THE DEALER HAVE ACCESS TO SAFETY INFORMATION THAT IS HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC? I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH A CRITICAL SAFETY DEFECT WITH A FALSE SENSE OF SAFETY. INFORMATION FROM DEALER: THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT THE HONDA DATABASE IS SHOWING FOR WHAT IS OUTSTANDING ON YOUR VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL IN JULY 2016 AND WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO ALLOW PASSENGERS TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. I WAS TOLD THE REMEDY PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER OR FALL OF 2016. I'VE ASKED THE DEALER (PASADENA HONDA) ABOUT IT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT I'M TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. IT'S QUITE AN INCONVENIENCE TO BE UNABLE TO USE MY PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. HONDA HAS NOT INDICATED WHEN I WILL, IN TRUTH, BE ABLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED.

TARKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA MOTOR CO. IN JULY 2016, ASKING TO TAKE AUTO TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I ARRIVED, THEY SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND ADVISE ME. THEY NEVER DID, SO I WENT BACK ON 8/31/16 AND SPOKE WITH ADVISOR, PAUL MLYNAREK. HE SAID HONDA HAD NOT SENT THEM THE PARTS TO REPAIR VEHICLE. THEY CONTINUED TO GIVE ME THE VERY SAME RESPONSE EACH TIME I CALLED. I FEEL THAT 7-MONTHS IS AMPLE TIME TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM

MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD WAS PURCHASED BY OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW. VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS A GOOD VEHICLE AND NO SERIOUS PROBLEMS. IT WAS IN A MINOR CRASH AND HAD SOME OF THE FRAME READJUSTED. RECENTLY, (WITHIN 6 MONTHS) I HAVE NOTICED THE VEHICLE CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN USUAL. I FOLLOWED UP WITH HONDA TO SEE WHAT I COULD DO WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY NOTICE I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE VEHICLE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY STATED THAT THE PISTON RINGS MAY BE STICKING MORE THAN USUAL AND THE VEHICLE COULD BE CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN NORMAL. THE WARRANTY STATED IT WAS GOOD FOR UP TO 8 YEARS FROM THE PURCHASE OR 125,000 MILES, WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. AT THE TIME THE HONDA WAS AT 134,000 MILES. HONDA TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND ASK HOW TO START THE PROCESS ON THE PISTON RINGS. THE LOCAL DEALER STATED THEY NEEDED TO START WITH AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH AN OIL CHANGE, THEN I WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AFTER 1,000 MILES FOR THEM TO TRACK THE OIL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND WAS DEALT WITH MORE BAD NEWS. THE LOCAL DEALER STATED THAT I COULD NOT START THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST UNTIL I FIXED TWO OTHER OIL LEAKS THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAS A VALVE GASKET LEAK WHICH ALSO NEEDED A VALVE ADJUSTMENT AS WELL AS A CRANK SEAL LEAK. THE LOCAL DEALER QUOTED ME THAT THE VALVE GASKET WOULD COST $225, THE VALVE ADJUSTMENT WOULD BE $325, AND THE CRANK SEAL LEAK WOULD BE $245. EVERYWHERE I HAVE HEARD OTHERWISE THE COST OF THESE FIXES WOULD BE MUCH MORE THAN I WAS QUOTED. AFTER RECEIVING THIS NEWS I CALLED HONDA AGAIN TO CREATE A CLAIM. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK TO MY CASE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE STICKING PISTON RINGS COULD HAVE LEAD TO THE TWO OTHER LEAKS MY VEHICLE IS HAVING. I FEEL AS THOUGH HONDA NEEDS TO COVER THE COSTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SEEING AS THOUGH THE PISTON RINGS ARE AN ISSUE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE
MY ENGINE IS CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD. I RECENTLY NOTICED THIS AND HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE A COMMON RANDOM DEFECTS WITH HONDA ACCORDS. I AM WORRIED THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT ONE DAY CATCH ON FIRE OR EVEN FAIL WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE GOTTEN A LETTER FROM HONDA STATING THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GAS BUMP BUT THEY WERE WRONG. THE PROCEDURE TO FIX THIS MAY COST ME A LOT OF MONEY BUT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DAMAGE. IT EFFECTS MY SAFETY AND I AM NOT WILLING TO RISK THAT. *TR
