I BOUGHT THE HONDA ACCORD NEW IN 2009 IN FLORIDA. I GAVE THE CAR TO MY DAUGHTER IN 2016 AND SHE MOVED TO ILLINOIS. SHE HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL REPAIRED ON 6/24/17 BUT AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS STILL ON. THE DEALER STATES THERE IS A "FRONT WEIGHT SENSOR FAILURE" AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED FOR COST OF $882.32. HONDA INDICATES THIS PART IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS SHOUD BE FUNCTIONAL AFTER THE RECALL REAIR WAS COMPLETED.

THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG AND SIDE CURTAIN AND PASSENGERS FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED AS MY SON WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT WHERE HE WORKS. THANK GOD HE WORKS AT A HOSPITAL. I THOUGHT HONDAS WAS SAFE BUT HAVE MY DOUBTS NOW? IT'S SEEMS LIKE NO ONE WANTS TO HELP OTHER THAN OUR INSURANCE. HE SAID HE WAS MAYBE GOING ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES PADS ON MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD LX ARE WEARING OUT EXPECTIONALLY FAST. EVERY 6 MONTHS. THERE IS A LAWSUIT PENDING AGAINST HONDA FOR FIX. I WANT TO JOIN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO HONDA SELLING ME A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2009 HONDA ACCORD LX-P (4 CYLINDER, 2.4 L). IT CONSUMES EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL. I DID A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ( HAD ALMOST 107K MILES ON THE CAR) AT A HONDA SERVICE CENTER. RESULT SAID THE CAR CONSUMED 1 QUARTER OF OIL FOR EVERY 1000 MILES (I NEVER SEE ANY WARNING LIGHT WHEN OIL GETS THIS LOW.) HONDA SERVICE CENTER, AFTER TAKING ABOUT A MONTH, SAID THE VEHICLE MEETS THE REQUIREMENT AND THEREFOR DON'T QUALIFY FOR REPAIR. SO LOOKS LIKE I WILL HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL EVERY WEEK OR SO, AND ALSO REFILL OIL AT EVERY 1000 MILES INSTEAD OF STANDARD 3000 MILES.

HONDA KNOWS ALL ABOUT THEIR 6 CYL ENGINES BURNING THROUGH OIL BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR STARTED BURNING AND NOW LEAKING OIL BADLY BEFORE IT HIT 100,000 MILES BUT I AM NOW LOOKING AT A LARGE REPAIR BILL AS MY CAR ISN'T ON "THE LIST". NOT SURE HOW IT COULDN'T BE AS ARTICLES CITE 6 CYL ACCORDS BETWEEN THE YEARS 2008 AND 2012. MINE IS A 6 CYL ACCORD, 2009: HOW IS THAT NOT ON THE LIST?

SUSPENSION
LAST MONDAY MORNING, I DROVE ON A 2-LANE NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD AT 25MPH SINCE IT WAS RAINING. MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL. I TOUCHED THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK ANYMORE. THE WINDSHIELD STARTED FOG IMMEDIATELY. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WHILE MY CAR STILL MOVED FORWARDED. I FORCED THE SPEED SHAFT INTO THE PARK POSITION. MY CAR STOPPED ON THE OPPOSITE LANE. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO VEHICLE FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I WAS SAFE. THE ACCIDENT LOCATION IS ONE MILE AWAY FROM INTERSTATE. IF THIS HAPPED ON THE INTERSTATE, TRAGEDY WOULD BE INEVITABLE. AFTER MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE BODY SHOP, I FOUND THAT THE RIGHT-FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS FRACTURED AT THE BUSHING LOCATION. THE FRACTURE SECTION WAS NOT NEW AT ALL. IT IS A TYPICAL STRESS CORROSION FRACTURE OVER YEARS. IT SHOULD START AT THE ORIGINAL DEFECT. I CALLED HONDA ACCORD MANUFACTURING USA LAST FRIDAY. THEY DENIED DISCUSSING HOW THIS PART WAS FAILED OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 MPH ON ROUTE I-287 IN MORRISTOWN, NJ, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE BADLY AND THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD RUMBLING NOISE. I GOT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION IN MORRISTOWN, WHERE MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT ONE OF MY SPARK PLUGS HAD FAILED TO FUNCTION, HAVING BEEN BADLY OIL FOULED. HE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG AND SAID THE COMPUTER SCANNER SHOWED CODE P0303 MISFIRE CYLINDER #3. HE ALSO NOTED THAT HONDA HAS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR PISTON RING REPLACEMENT INITIATED IN 2013 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13. THEY REPLACED 3 OF THE 4 SPARK PLUGS IN QUESTION (1 HAVING ALREADY BEEN REPLACED) AND UPDATED THE CAR'S COMPUTER PROGRAM, CALLING THAT STEP ONE IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT HONDA'S PROTOCOL FOR THIS IS TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE AND REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AND THEN WAIT TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. (I LATER CONFIRMED THIS PROTOCOL BY PHONE WITH HONDA AMERICA.) LACKING THAT, HONDA WILL NOT REIMBURSE THE DEALERSHIP IF THEY DO THE REPAIR, BUT THIS FIX SEEMS TO WORK ABOUT HALF THE TIME. WHEN THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN WAS INITIATED IN 2013, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. CLEARLY, HONDA RECOGNIZED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM OF OIL LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDERS BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL, AS I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE. IN MY CASE, MY ENGINE FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT MY LOCAL MECHANIC SAYS IT DEFINITELY WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, BECAUSE HONDA DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. REPLACING SPARK PLUGS IS NO MORE THAN A BAND AID. I'M LEFT WITH A SERIOUS AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM, AND HONDA'S INTENTION IS TO SKIRT THE REAL ISSUE BY RISKING MY SAFETY IN ORDER TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY.

WE'VE BEEN CALLING GUNN HONDA IN SAN ANTONIO TX SINCE AUGUST OF 2016. SINCE THEN, AT EACH CALL WE'VE HEARD "THE PARTS WON'T BE IN FOR TWO WEEKS, AND WE'LL CALL YOU". WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA TODAY TO ASK IF THE CAR HAD BEEN SOLD OR DEMOLISHED, SO WE CALLED GUNN HONDA. THEY SAID THEY HADN'T EVER HEARD OF US, BUT THEY'LL TAKE THE CAR MONDAY. THEY WON'T SAY HOW LONG REPAIRS WILL TAKE. I FEAR AS THIS IS A RECALL INSTEAD OF A "PAYING" JOB, THEY'LL KEEP THE CAR FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS WITH AN ESTIMATE OF "TWO WEEKS".

I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TWICE ABOUT THIS RECALL. THEY DID NOT HAVE A STATUS ON MY REPAIR PARTS. THAT WAS OVER 4 MONTHS AGO. IT HAS BEEN 8 MONTHS SINCE I FIRST CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THIS RECALL. 2 MONTHS IS STANDARD FOR A RECALL? THIS WILL BE GOING ON FOR 2 YEARS AT THIS RATE! WAY TO GO HONDA, AND WAY TO GO NHTSA. HOW MANY MORE LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST ON THIS RECALL???

SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA DEALER TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE. SHOWED UP FOR APPOINTMENT AND DEALER STATED THAT PART HAS NOT ARRIVED. NO PARTS FOR THE RECALL! MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT SUPPOSEDLY THE PART SHOULD BE ORDERED BY THE DEALER USING THE VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. PART SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR THAT SPECIFIC VEHICLE. WASTED MY TIME TAKING VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER. STILL THEY HAVEN'T CALL ME TO SPEAK WITH SERVICE MANAGER AND RE-SCHEDULE AT HONDA DEALER.
