SEATS
I WAS DRIVING TO MEET A FRIEND AND NOTICE AN AWFUL SMELL IN THE CAR. I PARKED CAR AT HER HOME AND WAS GONE ABOUT 3 HOURS. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME NOTICE THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM WAS MELTED. I HAVE HEATED LEATHER SEATS. THERE WAS ALSO A SMALL MELTED AREA ON THE SEAT BACK. MY HUSBAND DISCONNECTED THE FUSES UPON MY ARRIVAL HOME. HE LOOKED IT UP ON THE WEB AND SAW REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS, BUT WHEN HE CALLED A HONDA DEALER HE WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS UNHEARD OF. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORST IF MY GRANDSON OR SOMEONE ELSE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. UPDATED 10/9/15 *LN UPDATED 12/06/2017*CN

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE STATING THAT THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO POTENTIAL DANGER OR DEATH. I FOLLOWED ALL HONDA'S DIRECTIONS TO THE LETTER AND WAS GIVEN AN APPOINTMENT TIME AND PLACE FOR THE WORK. WHEN I SHOWED UP AT THE DEALERSHIP, OURISMAN HONDA BETHESDA MD FOR THE WORK TO BE DONE THE DEALER SAID HONDA HAD SET UP A WEBSITE, HANDED OUT APPOINTMENTS AND PROMISED CUSTOMERS THAT THE WORK WOULD TAKE A HALF AN HOUR, WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE. THAT THEY HAD NOT AGREED TO PARTICIPATE IN HONDA'S SCHEME AND THAT I HAD NO APPOINTMENT AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO DO THE WORK. IS THIS GOOD SERVICE? IS THIS WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE TO EXPECT? HOW CAN SUCH INCOMPETENCE REBUILD CUSTOMER TRUST? IS NHTSA AWARE OF THIS SITUATION?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
RADIO STOPPED PLAYING MUSIC AND MAKES LOUD CRACKING NOISE THAT IS STARTLING WHEN DRIVING. WHEN SEARCHING FOR SOLUTIONS ONLINE, IT WAS SUGGESTED "A CHIP FOR THE AUDIO OUTPUT HAS FAILED AND EXPLODED ON THE INTERNAL PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD." THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS POSTED ONLINE BY OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS. HONDA WON'T FIX AND SOME COMMENTS SAY THAT THE NON-DEALER MECHANICS HAVE FURTHER DAMAGED THE VEHICLE WHEN TRYING FIX THE ISSUE. THE COSTS TO POSSIBLY FIX WITH CHANCES OF CAUSING MORE DAMAGE IS GREATER THAN $500. IF IT'S NOT A COMMON ISSUE, HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND CORRECT THE ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUSLY LOUD SOMETIMES AND CAUSES ME TO LOSE FOCUS ON THE ROAD.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2015. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HONDA OF SANTA CRUZ AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT. I WENT TO THE APPOINTMENT AND WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS OUT OF PARTS AND UNABLE TO ADDRESS MY AIRBAGS AT THAT TIME. IT IS NOW THE MIDDLE OF JUNE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. I AM WORRIED FOR MY LIFE AND MY TEN YEAR OLD SON'S. I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR AND CONSTANTLY ANXIOUS ABOUT THIS SAFETY RECALL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WAY THAT THIS RECALL WAS DEALT WITH.. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW THIS IS GOING TO BE SOLVED.
