MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR NEW YEARS EVE HE WAS PARKED AT A LOCAL DONUT SHOP AND DECIDED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER SPOT . AS HE WAS BACKING OUT THE REAR WINDOW WAS NOT FULLY DEFROSTED AND HE HIT ANOTHER PARKED CAR. HE WAS DOING LESS THEN 10 MILES AN HOUR AND MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. CAUSING MY CAR TO BE TOTALED DUE TO THE COST. I'M HAVING IT REPAIRED AS I DO LOVE MY CAR BUT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED AT THIS LOW A SPEED. 3000 FOR AIR BAGS THAT I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A RECALL ON AND FIXED IT JUST WRONG. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. *JS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HONDA HEADLIGHTS FOG UP INSIDE THE LENS WHEN RAINING OR HUMID OUTSIDE. THIS FOGGING OF THEIR HEADLIGHTS DIMINISH THE LIGHTING OUTPUT TO NON-EXISTENT. I ALMOST CRASHED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE THE ROAD. I MADE HONDA AWARE AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. WHEN CALLING HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY SAY ANY HONDA DEALER CAN FIX THE HEADLIGHTS UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I WENT TO VARIOUS HONDA DEALERS THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HONDA HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT MANUFACTURERS. *TR

ON JULY 12, 2014 MY HUSBAND (DRIVER) AND MYSELF (PASSENGER) WERE INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH WITH MY 2004 HONDA CIVIC. TRAVELING AT APPROX. 35 MPH WE HIT A PARKED DODGE RAM TRUCK HEAD ON. MY HUSBAND SUFFERED SIX FRACTURED RIBS. I HAD A BLACK LEFT EYE, A SEVERE CONCUSSION, A SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE (BLEED ON THE TOP OF MY BRAIN), MY TOP FRONT TEETH WERE EMBEDDED IN MY TOP LIP AND HAD A COMPLICATED VERTICAL TOP LIP LACERATION REQUIRING STITCHES. DUE TO DAMAGE OF MY TOP LIP I NO LONGER HAVE FEELING AT THE LOCATION OF THE LACERATION OR WHERE MY TEETH WERE EMBEDDED IN MY TOP LIP AND WAS TOLD I WILL NOT GET IT BACK. DUE TO THE LACERATION I HAVE A VERTICAL SCAR FROM ABOVE CENTER OF MY LIP THAT GOES TO THE INSIDE OF MY LIP. A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER OUR ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG RECALL CAME OUT. WE LOOKED AT PHOTOS OF THE INSIDE OF MY HONDA. UP UNTIL THIS TIME WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHERE MY HEAD/FACIAL INJURIES CAME FROM. LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS YOU CAN SEE THE AIRBAG EXPLODED. THUS IT CUT MY FACE AND CAUSED ME TO GO INTO THE DASHBOARD AFTER EXPLODING CAUSING THE SEVERE CONCUSSION AND SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE. HAD THE AIRBAG STAY INFLATED AS IT SHOULD I WOULD OF NOT SUFFERED THE HEAD/FACIAL INJURIES. SOME OF WHICH WILL NOW HAVE THE REST OF MY LIFE. ...UPDATED 01/06/15 *BF

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON 12/11/14, APPROXIMATELY 11:00 A.M., I STARTED MY 2004 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID AND ALLOWED IT TO WARM UP FOR A COUPLE MINUTES DUE TO COLD WEATHER (APPROXIMATELY 25 DEGREES F). I THEN DROVE THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN, TURNED RIGHT, ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE ACCELERATION DID NOT FEEL NORMAL SO I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AT ABOUT 20 TO 25 MILES PER HOUR HOWEVER THE ACCELERATOR STAYED IN PLACE AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. I HELD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO TRY TO REDUCE SPEED HOWEVER THE ACCELERATOR CONTINUED TO STICK. I BRIEFLY TRIED PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR AND SHAKING IT WITH MY FOOT TO RELEASE IT HOWEVER IT CONTINUED TO STICK AND WAS NOT HELPING AT ALL. THE CAR WAS GAINING TOO MUCH SPEED SO I WENT BACK TO HOLDING THE BRAKE. I HELD THE BRAKE WHILE REACHING MY PHONE TO CALL 911 AND PLANNED TO REPORT THE SITUATION, NOTIFY THEM I WAS ABOUT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL OR PARK, AND THAT THERE WAS AN INFANT IN THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT, IT HAD BEEN OCCURRING FOR A LITTLE OVER A MILE AND AS I WAS UNLOCKING MY PHONE, THE ACCELERATOR FINALLY RELEASED. IT SLIGHTLY STUCK A LITTLE MORE OFF AND ON BRIEFLY BUT DID FINALLY FULLY RELEASE AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR. I TURNED OFF THE HIGHWAY, AND AS I WAS PREPARING TO PULL OVER AT A SAFE LOCATION, THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AGAIN. AGAIN, I HELD THE BRAKE AND AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, THE ACCELERATOR RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE EVER GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS CAR AGAIN. *TR

CALLED AMERICA HONDA ON 11/12/14. ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT PROBLEM. WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. HONDA SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY CAR, AFTER GIVING VIN NUMBER. I ASK WHY THE AIRBAG/SEATBELT LIGHT REMAINED ON. HONDA SAID SHE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO SPECULATE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. ONE PLACE ON THE INTERNET SAID HONDA WAS GOING TO DO A RECALL STARTING NOV.24 2014. WHAT HAPPENS IF MY WIFE OR MYSELF GETS HURT BEFORE THE RECALL STARTS? *TR

I HAVE MADE REPEATED CALLS TO HONDA AMERICA AT 1 800 999 1009 I CANNOT GET AN ANSWER FROM ANYONE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS CAR HAS A TAKATTA AIRBAG WHICH IS A POTENTIALLY A SMALL BOMB MOUNTED IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER AND OR DRIVER. I'VE CALLED TWO HONDA DEALERS IN THE SEATTLE WA AREA AND THEY WILL NOT DIRECTLY ANSWER THE QUESTION, ALL THEY WILL SAY IS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AT THIS TIME!!! GIVEN THE STATE OF ETHIC S AND HONESTY IN THIS COUNTRY TODAY I AM SOMEHOW A BIT DISTRUSTFUL OF CORPORATE JAPAN, CORPORATE AMERICA....TO SAY NOTHING OF GENERAL MOTORS AND THE PROBLEM OF IGNITION SWITCHES PURPOSELY BURIED FOR YEARS...EXECUTIVES SHOULD BE JAILED. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT A DEALERSHIP HANDLING MY AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY 2004 HONDA CIVIC. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP WILLETT HONDA SOUTH IN MORROW, GA., TO BE "INSPECTED," THEY CLAIMED THEY DID NOT HAVE THE AIRBAGS IN STOCK EVEN THOUGH MY HONDA CASE MANAGER SAID THEY DID. THE DEALERSHIP WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO FIND OTHER THINGS WRONG WITH MY CAR TO GET ME TO SPEND MONEY THERE, THEY WERE ALSO EXTREMELY FLIPPANT ABOUT MY CONCERN ABOUT CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN THOUGH NOTHING HAD BEEN FIXED ON THE CAR AT ALL. THE PERSON HANDLING MY CHECKOUT EXPERIENCE BASICALLY SAID "WELL YOU HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR FOR 10 1/2 YEARS, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN." I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WOULD BE THIS WAY ABOUT AIRBAGS THAT HAVE KILLED PEOPLE. *TR
