POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION FAILURE!! I KNEW THESE EARLY 2000S TO 2005S HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THE ACCORDS AND CIVICS, BUT I HAD A 2005 EARLIER AND WHEN SOMEONE HIT ME IT HAD OVER 168.000 MILES ON IT. (IT WAS A CALIFORNIA CAR WITH EXTRA SMOG COMPONENTS) NO TRANSMISSIONS ISSUES!! I REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER 2005 ACCORD 4CYL AT 79.441 MILES IN FEB OF 2018. THE CAR HAD BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN GA. NOTHING WAS MISSED. I ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS DONE BY A CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANIC BEFORE I EVEN PUT THE PLATE ON IT BACK IN NC. ON 6/12/19( 93500 ON CAR) I WAS IN A ROLLOVER WRECK IN MY 2002 TUNDRA.(GREAT TRUCK) AND REALLY NEEDED MY CAR. ON 6/14/19 I GO TO SEE MY TUNDRA IN THE JUNK YARD AND MY CAR JUST STARTS REVVING UP BUT STOPS MOVING. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THEN TRIED TO PUT CAR BACK INTO GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO 2ND GEAR AND LIMP TO A FRIENDS HOUSE. I WAS HEARTBROKEN!! TO LOSE BOTH IN 2 DAYS WAS INSANE! I TOOK IT TO FRIENDLYS TRANSMISSION IN HIGH POINT NC AND THEY PUT IN A REBUILT TRANSMISSION VERY QUICKLY!!!! I HOPE THIS ONE HOLDS BECAUSE IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CAR WITH A GREAT ENGINE AND I WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE IT A LONG TIME. I THOUGHT ABOUT TRYING TO DEAL WITH HONDA BUT I WAS IN PAIN AND NEEDED MY CAR...IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT A LOW MILEAGE CAR THAT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF SHOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION SO SOON!!! IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF 11V395000, RECALL R89, 8/27 2011 WOULD SOMEHOW APPLY TO MY CAR!!!

TIRES
ON AUGUST 12, 2019 I PURCHASED 4 OHTSU FP7000 205/6016 TIRES FROM EASTERN STATE TIRE & AUTOMOTIVE CENTER IN WEST NYACK NY 10994. I DROVE MY CAR ABOUT 104 MILES ON THE NEW TIRES, AND ON AUGUST 15, 2019, WHILE DRIVING ON THE NYS THRUWAY, 3 OF THE TIRES WENT FLAT. AS PER INSTRUCTIONS FROM EASTERN STATE TIRE, I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO PRESTIGE TIRE & AUTO SERVICE CENTER IN KINGSTON NY 12401. AND THERE, PRESTIGE ADVISED ME THAT ON ALL 4 TIRES THE VALVE STEMS WERE LEAKING. THUS, AS 2 OF THE TIRES WERE DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR, THEY REPLACED THEM, AND REPLACED THE VALVE STEMS ON THE 2 REMAINING TIRES THAT THEY SALVAGED. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE FAULT OF THESE TIRE FAILURES IS IN THE MANUFACTURERS DESIGN/PRODUCTION OR THAT OF EASTERN TIRE OF WEST NYACK. I LEAVE THAT DETERMINATION UP TO YOU. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL TIRES FOR YOUR INSPECTION. I FEAR THAT IF IT IS A DEFECT IN THE TIRES, OTHERS MAY NOW BE AT RISK. PLEASE ADVISE?

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
"TAKATA RECALL".....I PURCHASED THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO AND THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIT. I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED TODAY AND THE REPAIR SHOP ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR CODE WHICH MEANS DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. ALSO THE DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE SHOWED DEFECTIVE. YESTERDAY I RECEIVED 2 DIFFERENT EMAILS FROM NHTSA FOR 2 RECALLS (#19V499 AND #19V501). NO LETTER WAS RECEIVED FROM HONDA YET BUT I HATE TO WAIT FOR A LETTER TO ARRIVE AS THAT COULD TAKE 60 DAYS, THEN WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE DEALER TO GET THE PARTS AND THEN GET AN APPOINTMENT. THIS SITUATION IS LIFE-THREATENING. IS THERE ANY WAY TO SPEED THIS PROCESS UP? ALSO THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT A LOT OF THE AIR BAGS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED, ARE NOW BEING RECALLED.

AIR BAGS
THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO "SEARCH EVERY WIRE ASSOCIATED" WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH 2005'S MANUFACTURED 7/20/2004-10/8/2004 AND THEY WERE RECALLED. APPARENTLY, THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED AND MULTIPLE VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS. WHY HAS THE RECALL NOT BEEN EXTENDED TO ALL 2005'S? I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY EVERY TIME I DRIVE. I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR NOR CAN I JUST GO BUY A NEW CAR!
