TAKATA RECALL NHTSA LISTS THE VEHICLE AS SUBJECT TO THE HONDA RECALL. HONDA CURRENTLY DOES NOT LIST THE VEHICLE AS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN SOUTH FLORIDA, ALWAYS DRIVEN IN FLORIDA. THE SRS LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ACTIVATED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS USED. LOCAL HONDA DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, HAS FAILED TO ACT. HONDA DEALER HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM NOTED ON THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE RECORD AS "PRIMARY ITEM CONCERN" IN JANUARY, 2013.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE TWO. THE VEHICLE HESITATED MOMENTARILY AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THE FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS SO BURNED THAT IT RESEMBLED TAR.

THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DECLINED TO ASSIST SINCE THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE RECALLED PART SINCE MARCH 2015. I'VE BEEN REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE ANY TIME IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR I WORRY THAT I WILL DIE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE PART WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO SEND TO ANY OF MY LOCAL DEALERSHIPS.

THOUGH 2004 HONDA ACCORDS ARE BEING RECALLED DUE TO DEADLY AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS, AND THOUGH HONDA WAS INITIALLY ADDING CARS TO THE RECALL LIST BY CUSTOMER REQUEST, HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ADD MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD TO THE VEHICLE RECALL LIST AND REPLACE ITS AIRBAGS. A SECOND 2004 HONDA ACCORD, THAT I PURCHASED THE SAME YEAR FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND LATER SOLD, IS ON THE RECALL LIST, WHICH ADDS TO MY VALID CONCERNS THAT HONDA'S RECALL LIST IS NOT COMPLETE OR ACCURATE, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HONDA HAS CONTINUED TO ADD NEW VIN NUMBERS TO THE RECALL LIST OVER THE PAST YEAR. ALTHOUGH I CALLED HONDA'S RECALL HOTLINE, THEY FAILED TO SHOW ANY CONCERN FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY AND REFUSED TO REPLACE MY AIRBAGS. HONDA HAS CAUSED MANY SENSELESS DEATHS BY REFUSING TO ADEQUATELY AND PROMPTLY ADDRESS THE AIRBAGS DEFECTS IN ITS CARS, AND IT IS UNFATHOMABLE TO ME THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE ON THEIR COURSE OF DEADLY APATHY.

SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS
I NOTICED THAT THE SRS LIGHT WAS INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH IS DEFECTIVE, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. HONDA STATES IN THEIR SEAT BELT LIMITED WARRANTY: TIME PERIOD: THIS WARRANTY CONTINUES FOR THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE VEHICLE WARRANTY COVERAGE: HONDA WILL REPAIR OR REPLACE, AT ITS OPTION, ANY HONDA SEAT BELT COMPONENT THAT FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY DURING NORMAL USE. THIS INCLUDES ALL PARTS AND LABOR CHARGES. MY HONDA DEALER (FAIRFAX HONDA 703-934-8500) INFORMED ME THAT THIS WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE COMPONENT NEEDING REPAIR WAS AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT. HOWEVER, THE HONDA WARRANTY CLEARLY STATES ANY HONDA SEAT BELT COMPONENT, AND DOES NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL COMPONENTS. FURTHERMORE, BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECTIVE COMPONENT, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WILL FAIL TO DEPLOY PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THAT SINCE HONDA HAS INSTITUTED A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON ANY SEAT BELT COMPONENT FAILURE, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT WITHOUT ANY CHARGE TO ME. I WOULD APPRECIATE NHTSA LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER.

THIS IS A REALLY APPALLING SITUATION REGARDING OUR HONDA. THE PAINT STARTED PEELING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND NOT IT LOOKS LIKE A CAR WITH LEPROSY... I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION TO THE TUNE OF $3,500.00 WITH NO HELP FROM HONDA AFTER SELLING MY 2001 FORD F-150 AND NOW THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PAINT PROBLEMS. I BEG TO DIFFER. THE QUOTE I HAVE TO HAVE IT RE-PAINTED IS $2,500.00. IF HONDA CARES THIS LITTLE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMER'S EXPERIENCE, I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER ONE OF THESE PIECES OF [XXX]...

FIRST THEY SAID THAT WE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER(S) AND MY NAME DID NOT APPEAR ON THEIR SYSTEM AS THE CORRECT NAME FOR THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP BACK IN 2004. THE SECOND TIME THE STATED THAT THEY FINISHED THE RECALL, HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON AND WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE AS WELL AS YOUR WEBSITE IT IS STILL LISTED AS INCOMPLETE. THE THIRD AND FINAL TIME SPOKE TO [XXX] (SERVICE MANAGER) AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND HE WOULDN'T EVEN TALK TO ME OR HONOR THE APPOINTMENT. THEN CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY AT 888-234-2138 FOR RECALL COMPLAINT AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT AND COULD NEVER GET ANYONE. ALWAYS BUSY OR UNAVAILABLE TO TAKE PHONE CALLS. TRIED FINDING AN EMAIL AS CONTACT INFO FOR HONDA DIRECTLY AND THERE WASN'T ONE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS A RECALL FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP WE ORIGINALLY BOUGHT IT FROM REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH ALWAYS SOME SORT OF AN EXCUSE OR LIE TO US STATING THAT IT WAS COMPLETED. THE RECALL AS OF NOW IS STILL INCOMPLETE. PLEASE ADVISE FURTHER. SINCERELY, CONCERNED VEHICLE OWNER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
