ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
IN APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 2008, THE HORN ON MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD STOPPED WORKING. IT HAD BEEN WORKING FINE BEFORE, BUT WOULD NOT WORK WHEN I TRIED TO WARN ANOTHER DRIVER WHO WAS VEERING INTO MY LANE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRMED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP THAT IT WASN'T WORKING. THEN, WHEN I PICKED IT UP THAT EVENING, HE SAID THAT IT HAD STARTED WORKING AND HE COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HE SAID INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS ARE HARD TO DIAGNOSE AND TO COME BACK WHEN IT STOPS WORKING AGAIN. SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON AND OFF AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED 3 ACCIDENTS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO USE MY HORN. *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD A/C STOPPED WORKING THIS WEEK BUT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA DEALER THAT THE CONDENSER HAS A SMALL INDENT/HOLE. I FOUND A LOT OF HONDO CONSUMERS HAVE THE SAME STORY AS ME. SINCE THE CONDENSER IS NOT PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM DEBRIS, IT IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW. WHY OUR CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DESIGN FLAW? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, EQUIPMENT, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, SEAT BELTS, SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL DIFFICULTIES VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS DUE TO SPORADIC WORKING OF THE POWER DOOR LOCKS AND KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM. THEY STILL HAVE NOT FOUND THE ISSUE. IT IS WORSE WHEN IT IS HUMID AND/OR RAINS. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS OF 2007/2008; THE STEREO'S LCD WENT WARPED AND THE WHOLE STEREO HAD TO BE REPLACED. ON MEMORIAL DAY 2008; THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS SITTING IN IT PARKED WAITING ON MY CHILDREN TO COME OUT OF A THEME PARK. MY HUSBAND BURNED HIS HAND TRYING TO PUT OUT THE FIRE; AND WAS OUT OF WORK FOR ABOUT 2-WEEKS DUE TO THE BURN. THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FIRE; WHICH STARTED INSIDE THE SEAT DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC SEATS AND/OR HEATED LEATHER SEATS, AS DETERMINED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY APPRAISER. THE SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE ELECTRONIC SEAT COMPONENTS, HEATED LEATHER SEAT COMPONENTS, PART OF THE CENTER CONSOLE, AND THE CARPETING AND FLOOR MATS. WE GOT THE CAR BACK ON JULY 3. ON MONDAY, JULY 7; MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE IT INSPECTED (AT THE DEALERSHIP); SINCE THE STATE INSPECTION WAS PAST DUE. THEY REJECTED THE INSPECTION STATING THAT THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE SEAT BELTS. THEY LATER CHANGED THEIR TUNE WHEN I CALLED THEM AND ARE NOW TRYING TO SAY IT WASN'T THAT IT WAS THE AIRBAG WASN'T HOOKED UP; AND THEY COULD FIX IT. I KNOW THEY ARE LYING, AND THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER THEIR TRACKS AS THIS I AM SURE IS JUST ANOTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN MY CAR. I AM AT MY WITS END ON WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR. I CAN'T AFFORD TO TRADE IT IN, I HAVE SPENT OVER $1000 ON RENTAL CARS WAITING FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED, AND NOW THIS. ALSO, THE POWER DOOR LOCKS STILL DO NOT WORK. *TR

TOOK IT TO DEALER AND HE SAID IT IS FROM PEBBLE FROM ROAD OR FROM OTHER CARS DAMAGED THE A/C CONDENSER. WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE DESIGN IS THAT ALLOWS PEBBLES TO ALLOW IT TO HIT CARS INTERNAL PART AND DAMAGE IT. HONDA DEALER AS WELL AS CUSTOMER SERVICE ASKS TO CLAIM FILE TO INSURANCE. WHY SHOULD I PAY $500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR CAR WHICH IS NOT DESIGNED TO PROTECT IT SENSITIVE PARTS .!! I HAD MY BABY IN CAR WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE SUMMER AT JULY , AND IF A/C IS NOT WORKING , DUE TO HONDA'S INABILITY TO ACT ON GENUINE COMPLAINTS, WHAT RELIABILITY DOES THESE CARS HAVE? *TR

I OWEN A 2007 HONDA ACCORD MODEL LX 4 DR. 6 CYL. THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PILOT MXM4 P215/50R17 93V XL RRBL TIRES. AT 4000 MILES THE LEFT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE. I REPLACED AT MY COST. AT 8000 MILES THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE. I REPLACED IT MY COST. THE TIRE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE CAR DESIGN AND THE CAR DEALER SAID IT WAS THE TIRE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 50 YEARS AND OWEN NUMEROUS CARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE . THANK YOU *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IT'S A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW OF HONDA TO DEVIATE FROM THE STANDARD THAT THE DASH LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE UNLESS THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I'M SURE MOST OTHER DRIVERS ARE ACCUSTOMED TO THIS STANDARD. COMPOUND THAT WITH OTHER VEHICLE MODELS (OF WHICH WE HAVE TWO) THAT WILL TURN ON HEADLIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY, AND YOU HAVE SERIOUS POTENTIAL TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT NOTHING BUT THE AUTOMATIC RUNNING LIGHTS ON. THESE RUNNING LIGHTS PRODUCE ENOUGH REFLECTIVE LIGHT, ALONG WITH THE DASH LIGHTS, TO LEAD THE DRIVER TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS ON. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
WE WERE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 75 IN RICHARDSON, TX ON 4/23/08 ABOUT 9PM ON A STORMY NIGHT WITH A LOT OF LIGHTNING AND RAIN AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS CAME OUT WITH A VERY LOUD GUN SHOT LIKE SOUND BUT DID NOT FULLY INFLATE. MY WIFE AND I WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO CAUSE THEM TO DO THAT SO WE SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WE THOUGHT WE HAD BEEN SHOT AT OR SOMETHING WAS THROWN AT THE CAR BECAUSE WE WERE NOT HIT BY ANOTHER AUTO. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED THE CAR OVER AND FOUND NO REASON FOR THE AIRBAGS AND CURTAIN TO DO THAT. MY WIFE WAS THOROUGHLY SHAKEN AND IS STILL "GUN SHY" SO TO SPEAK TODAY RIDING IN ANY VEHICLE. WE STARTED TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND A FEW CAR LENGTHS DOWN THE ROAD REALIZED THAT WE ALSO HAD A FLAT ON THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. HONDA SAYS WE RAN OVER SOMETHING THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AND THAT IT WAS AN INSURANCE ISSUE SINCE WE COINCIDENTALLY HAD A FLAT AFTER THE AIRBAGS PARTIALLY DEPLOYED. WE OBVIOUSLY DID RUN OVER SOMETHING TO CUT THE TIRE BUT NO REASON TO MAKE THE AIRBAGS PARTIALLY DEPLOY AND WE CERTAINLY NEVER EXPECTED SIDE IMPACT AIR CURTAINS AND AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY EVEN IF WE RAN OVER SOMETHING. THE HONDA SERVICEMAN SAID WHATEVER WE HIT RAISED THE BACK FLOORBOARD 2 INCHES - WE THINK IN THAT CAR THAT LOW TO THE GROUND THAT WE WOULD HAVE HEARD IT HIT AND/OR FELT IT HIT IF IT DID THAT MUCH DAMAGE. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER AND HAVE NOT HAD ONE COMPLAINT AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IS JUST LIKE BRAND NEW - NOT EVEN A SCRATCH ON IT. WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR WITH THE DEFECTED AIRBAGS AND CURTAIN SHOWN WITH AN "UNDAMAGED" BODY. THE AIR CURTAIN YOU CAN TELL NEVER INFLATED - LOOKS LIKE NEW WITH ALL THE WRINKLES AND FOLDS. IT NEVER HIT MY WIFE AT ALL. WE SURELY THOUGHT HONDA WOULD HAVE STOOD BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS BETTER THAN THIS. *TR

SEATS
THE SEAT ON OUR 2007 HONDA ACCORD EX HAS A TERRIBLY LOUD SQUEAK/CREAK SOUND IN IT EVERY TIME THE CAR MOVES AND/OR WE GET IN OR OUT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO FIX THREE DIFFERENT TIMES OVER THE 8 MONTHS THAT WE HAVE OWNED IT AND THEY HAVE REPLACED ALMOST EVERY PART IN THE BASE, TRACK AND CUSHION, BUT THE CREAK WILL NOT STAY AWAY LONGER THAN A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE IT RETURNS, OFTEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. I KNOW IT IS NOT A LIFE-THREATENING DEFECT, BUT WHEN YOU PAY OVER $20,000 FOR A BRAND NEW CAR, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING OR THEY SHOULD AT LEAST BE ABLE TO FIX IT! *TR
