TO HONDA CORPORATION RE: RECALL DEPARTMENT ON JUNE 19 2014 I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WHEN I WAS SUDDENLY HIT BY A DELIVERY TRUCK WHO WAS TRYING TO MAKE AN ILLEGAL LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR WAS TOTAL. THE FRONT SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR ARE TOTALLY DEMOLISHED. THE IRONY OF IT ALL IS THAT, THE FRONT AND THE SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. AND AS THE RESULT I WAS SEVERELY INJURED WITHOUT THE PROTECTION OF THE AIR BAG. ON MARCH 2015 WHICH IS ALMOST A YEAR AFTER MY ACCIDENT I RECEIVED AN AIR BAG RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA CORPORATION. I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE WARNING AND RECALL LETTER BEFORE MY ACCIDENT WHICH IS JUNE 19 20014. HONDA CORPORATION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY INJURIES FOR MAKING A DEFAULTED AIR BAG AND FAILED TO WARN ME ABOUT THE SITUATION BEFORE MY ACCIDENT. I AM ASKING THE MAKER OF HONDA TO PAY FOR MY OUTSTANDING MEDICAL BILLS WHICH IS INCURRED DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. I STILL HAVE MY HONDA. HONDA CORPORATION REFUSE TO REPLY TO MY LETTER. THAT'S WHY I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT TO THE HONDA CORPORATION TRULY [XXX] VIN UNAVAILABLE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR*JB

MY IGNITION-PARK INTERLOCK IS FAULTY BUT ISN'T UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. IT MAY BE COMMON SENSE TO PUT THE E-BRAKE ON WHEN PARKING BUT NOT EVERYONE IS PERFECT, MY VEHICLE HAS NEARLY ROLLED AWAY MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. LUCKILY I CAUGHT IT IN TIME TO STOP IT FROM CRASHING. ALSO IF I DO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN D4 WITH THE E-BRAKE ON, IGNITION KEY OUT OF COURSE, AND I LEAVE THE VEHICLE PARKED, SOMEONE COULD BREAK IN AND PUSH IT AWAY. REGARDLESS WHAT I SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT HONDA OF AMERICA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I JUST DID THAT AND GOT TOLD THE SAME THING.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM ASPEN HILL ROAD ONTO NORBECK ROAD IN MARYLAND WHEN MY STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO KEEP THE CAR FROM CRASHING. UPON STOPPING AND INSPECTING THE POWER STEERING FLUID, IT WAS EMPTY. I TRIED ADDING FLUID AND IT JUST LEAKED OUT ONTO THE GROUND FROM THE STEERING RACK. I CALLED A HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING RACK FAILED AND THAT IT WILL COST OVER $2000 TO REPAIR IT.

THE DATE LISTED ABOVE SHOULD BE 2/14/2001, WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT HOME THE AIRBAG LIGHT UP. I TOOK THE CAR BAG AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT WAS FIXED. AS THE YEARS PASSED BY THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO LIGHT UP. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES. THEY NEVER OFFERED ME ANOTHER CAR OR FIXED THE PROBLEM. AS THE YEARS WENT ON THERE WAS FINALLY A RECALL ISSUED. BUT TO THIS DAY THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPENSATED A DEFECTIVE CAR BUT I WAS NEVER OFFERED ANOTHER CAR OR A REDUCED PRICE. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BUT YOUR WEBSITE DOES NOT LIST MY VIN. CAN I BRING MY CAR TO THE HEADQUARTERS LOCATION IN TORRANCE FOR AN INSPECTION/FIX THE PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR BUYING A NEW CAR THAT DID NOT LIVE UP TO HONDA'S STANDARDS FROM DAY 1 ( FEBRUARY 14, 2001)...

CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD INTO FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE: P0740 CAME UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT IN CA REGARDING THIS AND THAT IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR MY GENERATION HONDA. I HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUIDS CHECKED AND THE LEVELS ARE FINE, COLOR IS GOOD, AND IT DOES NOT SMELL BURNT. BEFORE I PAY FOR A HEFTY REPAIR, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF HONDA HAS, OR WILL, TAKEN ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT.
