AIR BAGS
108 complaints
While driving down street, both curtain airbags deployed sporadically with absolutely no cause. I was not hit anywhere and I was not even using my brakes or slowing to a stop. My head got smashed in and my view was completely obstructed. I was able to pull off road to safety.

I was ran off the road by another driver on March 8, 2024. I honked so that they would know I was there and then swerved as they continued to come towards me. As this happened, I lost control of my vehicle and it fishtailed on the highway, doing a complete 180° and going from 70 mph to 0 mph as I crashed into a concrete barrier on the shoulder of the road. The airbags did not deploy. My car will likely be totaled and because of its age, we will not keep it. It will not be available for inspection. My safety was put as risk because my airbags did not deploy. Thankfully, in this instance, I was not harmed but I could’ve been. The problem was not confirmed by the dealer. The vehicle was inspected by police and is currently undergoing inspection by insurance. There were no warning signs of this failure.

The 2006 Honda Accord VP Sedan was hit in an intersection by a Van that was trying to speed through a red light. The van hit the Accord on the front of the car, which spun the Accord causing it to hit the van again in the rear passenger side. The Accord has 6 airbags, but none of them went off. It appears that the front airbags should have went off, and possibly the passenger side airbags. I contacted Honda about the issue, but they insisted that I follow the direction that the insurance company determined.

STEERING
34 complaints
The contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 15-20 MPH, the contact became aware of an abnormal burning odor, and there was smoke coming from under the hood. The contact stated that the smoke increased while at a complete stop in traffic. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact inspected the vehicle after pulling over to the side of the road and after arriving at the residence. The contact stated that the power steering hose was leaking at the back of the engine, near the firewall, onto the catalytic converter, and onto the power steering lines. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V222000 (Steering); however, the dealer informed the contact that the recall repair could not be performed because the power steering pump was an aftermarket part. The contact stated that the dealer failed to honor the recall repair, which only involved the power steering hose replacement. The vehicle was taken to Automotive Technology of West Islip, where the contact was informed that the vehicle should be repaired under the recall. The mechanic contacted the manufacturer on the contact's behalf; however, the manufacturer confirmed that the recall repair could not be performed because the power steering pump was an aftermarket part. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 141,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Power steering fluid leakage that smokes up under hood, loss of power to steering and extremely difficult to steer. Major safety issue.
Feb 22, 2023
My car is leaking power steering fluid somewhere. I can fill it to the recommended line, drive 10 minutes down the road and start having problems turning again. It is worse when turning slowly like when backing out of a parking spot and then turning the wheel to be able to accelerate in the correct direction. I have also noticed smoke coming from my car if I am sitting in park after putting fluid in, it is worse if I have my heat on. I am currently pregnant and this is my only form of transportation to be able to get my son to and from school and myself to work and every where else I have to drive to. I have almost hit parked cars because I can't get the steering wheel to turn. I am afraid that I will be driving down the road and end up not being able to turn into a curve in the road or something and end up rolling/wrecking my car. I am afraid that my car could catch on fire while I am waiting in the pickup line for my son which would put other parents, children, and other cars at risk. Yes the problem has been confirmed. The vehicle has not been inspected. No warning lamps or anything. I have been dealing with this for almost 3 months. It is causing pain in my neck, back, arms, and shoulders.
Feb 11, 2022
I WAS DRIVING IN THE LANE, PROBABLY AROUND 20-25MILES THROUGH THE TRAFFIC. I WAS TRYING TO TURN LITTLE TOWARDS RIGHT BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED IN STEERING WHEEL (LOCKED/STUCK - I DO NOT KNOW) BUT THE CAR DIDN'T TURN. THE TRUCK/VAN COMING FROM OTHER DIRECTION AND MY CAR CRASHED. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO SAFETY. I WAS TAKEN TO EMERGENCY FROM THE CRASH SITE. AFTER 2ND VISIT TO HOSPITAL I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A RIB FRACTURE. I REACHED OUT TO HONDA AMERICA REGARDING THIS AND THEY SAID SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO BE INSPECTED THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING REGARDING THIS MATTER. I URGE NHTSA TO INQUIRE FURTHER IN 2006 HONDA ACCORD STEERING ISSUE SINCE I SURVIVED A FATAL ACCIDENT, OTHER MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO. IF YOU NEED FURTHER DETAILS PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME.
Mar 03, 2020
WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS THE STEERING GET TIGHT AND STIFF FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN IT'S FINE. THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS BLACK BUT NOT LEEKING.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
31 complaints
The AC DELCO brake pads were reported to be designed for use on the front calipers of a 2006 Honda Accord. While performing a routine brake caliper cleaning and inspection, I observed that the friction material completely separated from the metal backing plate on the passenger outboard brake pad. Additionally, an area near the top portion of the friction material cracked, forming an approximate one inch vertical tear through the pad. The crack was missing approximately 4 to 5 millimeters of friction material across horizontally (i.e., it was possible to look through it). Separation of the friction material from the backing plate appeared to be partially from corrosion/rust that was able to occur behind the friction material; between it and the metal backing plate. The two points at which protrusions from the friction material attached to the backing plate experienced shear and were completely severed. This resulted in diminished braking capacity and may have contributed to a minor accident as the car was not braking as effectively or responsively as usual.

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN 2006 I CURRENTLY HAVE 42,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND FRONT BRAKES REPLACED ALREADY. THE REAR PADS WERE REPLACE AROUND 30,000 AND THE FRONT ROTORS AT 42,000. HAVING BRAKES REPLACED AT THIS MILEAGE DOESN'T SEEM REASONABLE. *TR

I recently learned of the NHTSA's complaint section and is the reason in the delay in reporting this incident: Front Driveshaft Breakage/Failure On May 1, 2014, the Front Left Driveshaft/CV Axle Broke on my 2006 Honda Accord EX V6 4-Door. This vehicle had 177,694 miles at the time of incident. The car was stopped at an intersection waiting to make a left-hand turn. After the traffic light turned green, the car just started rolling when the driveshaft snapped/broke. On May 2, 2014, this vehicle was towed, and my Auto Technician was stunned to see the axle/driveshaft had broken. He stated that driveshafts are, typically, made of hardened steel and should never break. He also mentioned that if this break would’ve occurred at expressway speeds (the majority of my driving is at expressway speeds), this would’ve been catastrophic. Clearly, this is a Major Safety Issue. This vehicle is still in service and currently has 315,000 miles. At the current mileage, I am quite concerned that the Replacement Honda Driveshaft (Front Left) and the Original Front Right Driveshaft may also break; quite possibly, at high speeds. A search of the various Honda Forums reveals that this breakage/failure is a common problem with Honda Driveshafts. Recently, Honda recalled some vehicles for this Driveshaft Breakage Problem. My vehicle was not included in the recall.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL #11V395000, HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT LISTED AS BEING AFFECTED BY THAT RECALL. I CONTACT HONDA USA DIRECTLY, OPENED A CASE #10120384, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE VEHICLE IS MAKING A NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY LOSES ALL POWER, THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED SO FAR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED BY THE 2011 RECALL FOR THE PCM, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE ALSO INDICATES THE PCM IS AT FAULT, HOWEVER BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL ANY FIX MUST BE DONE OUT OF POCKET. THE ISSUES HAPPENING ARE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, BECAUSE OF THIS IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ADDITIONAL VINS MIGHT HAVE NEEDED TO BE INCLUDED.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR THE OTHER NIGHT ON THE STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DIDN'T WANNA DRIVE FORWARD ANYMORE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I SCANNED FOR THE CODES AND MY SCANNER SAID IT WAS THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR AND ALSO TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT STUCK OFF. THE CAR WON'T DRIVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD.
Jul 13, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RICK ROUSH HONDA (3157 MEDINA RD, MEDINA, OH 44256, (330) 725-3999) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

ON 26OCT17, I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD 2006 WITH 171,000 MILES AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I PREPARED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND ENGAGED THE CLUTCH. THE VEHICLE ENTERED INTO THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 5 FEET WHEN A LARGE POP/THUD WAS HEARD WITH SOME SLIGHT METALLIC GRINDING NOISES. THE CAR DRIFTED BACKWARDS SINCE I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC TO MY LEFT OR BEHIND ME. I DRIFTED BACKWARDS APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET AND BACKED INTO A PLAYGROUND PARKING LOT ON MY RIGHT. I PARKED THE CAR AND MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO MOVE FORWARD AND ENGAGE THE CLUTCH. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT WORK. I CALLED MY LOCAL AUTO CLUB FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. THE AUTO CLUB TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. THE NEXT DAY MY MECHANIC CALLED ME AND REPORTED THAT MY CLUTCH WAS FINE BUT MY LEFT FRONT AXLE WAS BROKEN. THE MECHANIC REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME HE REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO HONDA. THE MECHANIC WAS ASKED IF ANYONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED. THE MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND HONDA TOLD HIM THAT THEY WERE NOT OBLIGATED TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HE WAS PERSONALLY AWARE OF OTHER OLDER HONDA VEHICLES THAT ALSO HAD BROKEN AXLES. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE BROKEN AXLE. THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THE RUBBER COVERING OVER THE AREA AFFECTED ALLOWS WATER/MOISTURE TO ACCUMULATE AND CORRODE THE AXLE. HE NOTED THAT THE NEW AXLE DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME COVERING. THE MECHANIC FELT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY WARNINGS/RECALLS FROM HONDA. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE REPAIR NEEDED FOR THIS INCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
22 complaints
After driving my Honda Accord for 135,000 miles, the ignition switch malfunctioned and I am unable to start the car, it seems like I need to replace the switch. After doing research I found out that many Hondas of the same model and years 2003-2009 experienced the same issues which leads me to believe their might be a manufacturing default.

PASSENGER AND BOTH REAR WINDOWS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. NO SWITCH ON ANY DOOR (INCLUDING THE DRIVER'S SIDE) WILL RAISE OR LOWER THE WINDOWS. WHEN THE SWITCHES ARE DEPRESSED, A CLICKING SOUND IS MADE.
Mar 10, 2021

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM

MY RADIO/CCD PLAYER HAS STOPPED WORKING. TURN IT ON AND ALL YOU GET IS STATIC. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT WORKING AGAIN ANY SUGGESTIONS? WHEN I USE MY RADIO THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. IT MIGHT NOT BE IMPORTANT TO YOU BUT IT IS TO ME. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN IN MY CARS

CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA & LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH NC TO FIX SRS SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON HONDA ACCORD. THEY SAID I HAVE TO PAY $138.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND $475.00 FOR A PART THAT IS IN THE STEERING WHEEL CONNECTED TO THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. VEHICLE WAS ALREADY SERVICED BY LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH AND THE RED LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHILE DRIVING OUT OF LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH PARKING LOT. WHAT IS EVEN WORSE IS THAT THE 2006 HONDA ACCORD WAS BEING SERVICED TODAY 02/07/2020 AT THE LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH DEALERSHIP FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THE WHOLE SYSTEM NOT JUST RANDOM PARTS. THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS & THEN TRIED TO CHARGE MY WIFE ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO MAKE EXTRA MONEY (VERY DISHONEST). WHEN I CALLED HONDA NORTH AMERICA THEY JUST SAID IT WAS BETWEEN MYSELF & LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN BOTH HONDA NORTH AMERICA & ESPECIALLY LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH FOR TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A FEMALE. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS SITUATION AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE KNOW WAY TO KNOW IF MY AIRBAG WILL FUNCTION IN AN EMERGENCY. BOTH LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH AND HONDA NORTH AMERICA NEED TO HELP PEOPLE. NOT EVERYONE CAN SPEND $600.00 ON A CAR THAT IS WORTH ONLY ABOUT $1,00.00 THEY DID THE MINIMUM REQUIRED WORK OF THE AIRBAG RECALL AND LET HER GO-LIKE IF THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT THE SRS PROBLEM IT WILL JUST GO AWAY. HOW DO THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT.

SUN ROOF WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF AN OBJECT STRIKING OR HITTING IT, JUST A POP AND A SUDDEN RUSH OF AIR THAT INCREASED AS THE OPENING IN THE SHATTERED SAFETY GLASS GREW LARGER. LUCKLY THE INSIDE COVER WAS CLOSED, SO THAT THE GLASS SHARDS DID NOT DROP ONTO ME WHILE DRIVING DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE ON A BUSY FREEWAY. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT THE WINDOW DID NOT HAVE ANY LAMINATION ON IT TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING INTO SHARDS. THE WEATHER WAS RAINING AND ABOUT 45 DEGREES F, BUT I DID NOT HIT A POT HOLE OR HEAR/SEE ANY DEBRIS HIT THE CAR. I HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS WINDOW. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WERE NO SAFETY RECALLS INVOLVING THIS WINDOW AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANYTHING RELATED TO THIS OVER 3 YEARS OLD. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT $468. THE CAR WAS HAIL DAMAGED TWO YEARS AGO, BUT I BELIEVE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS EVENT SINCE TEMPERED GLASS JUST COMPLETELY SHATTERS IF DAMAGED.
Apr 15, 2019
I CHECKED RECALLS ON THE AIRBAGRECALL.COM WEBSITE AND DID NOT FIND A RECALL ON MY AIRBAG BUT FOUND ANOTHER RECALL INSTEAD. I DID NOT RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE BUT AFTER READING THE DESCRIPTION I PAID FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE NOTICE WAS SENT BUT I DID NOT GET IT. I AM NOT SURE IF ONLY ONE NOTICE WAS ISSUED OR IF A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE WAS SENT BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE EITHER. I NEED TO REIMBURSED. I HAVE MY RECEIPT WHERE I PAID FOR THE REPAIR.

Jan 10, 2025
The contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord equipped with General Tires, Tire Line: G-Max AS-05, Tire Size: 215/50/R17, DOT Number: CN6AWD8R4020. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65-70 MPH, the vehicle was vibrating and making an abnormal sound. The contact pulled over to the side of the roadway. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that the rear passenger's side tire had an inch of tread remaining on the sidewall. The contact replaced the tire with the spare tire. The tire retailer was made aware of the failure. The tire manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The tire failure mileage was approximately 15,000. The vehicle failure mileage was 139,000. The VIN was unavailable.

While driving home from work at highway speeds in less than 1 minute I went from Total normal Driving Experience to feeling like I had a vibration likely a flat. Luckily it was the back tire so I was able to safely steer off the highway. Upon inspecting the tire it was completely gone! Only minimal sidewall attached to the rim on both inside and outside of the wheel. The sidewall failed approximately 1 in Above the Rim lip. All the way around on both sides. This is on a general gmax as-05 215/50/ ZR 17 purchased in 2021 from tirerack.com. these tires are used seasonally in addition to winter tires so they have minimal miles for being a little over 2 years old. I also recently had the car New York State inspected in the last 30 days. upon reaching out to Tire Rack I learned there was a substantial recall of almost 100,000 continental and general brand tires that were " over cured". This tire is not on the list but did exactly what the description of the recalled tires had done. I do not feel safe traveling on the remaining tires and I feel other people could be in danger of this happening to this model Tire. I just want to keep myself and other safe and feel like I'm going to get stonewalled with a retailer on warranty. Also want to keep others from potential harm as this had happened on my front wheel in the middle of rush hour traffic it could have been disastrous and deadly! Up until this I loved these tires they were sporty, great handling, quiet and wearing very evenly and seem to be long-lasting so far. I hope Continental/general does the right thing by adding this tire to the recall list. Also this car was recently New York State inspected less than 30 days ago there is ample tread and the tires have been diligently rotated and they are only on the car for 7 months at a time as I have a set of General winter tires that I switch between seasonally.

Repeated sudden (5) flat tires in a span of a year - various positions on vehicle and all happening suddenly while driving. Not caused by any foreign debris or punctures. Repairs would not hold long, however. Have replaced all 4 tires due to fear of sudden flats causing accident. Tires: 2155017 HER Roadtour 455 215/50R17 DOT U96A H3U 0919

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
15 complaints
I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BUT I HAVE A SERIOUS AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEM. I PURCHASED A USED 2006 HONDA ACCORD 6 MONTHS AGO DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. AS SOON AS WE HAD OUR FIRST WARM SPELL I REALIZED THAT THE AC IS DEFECTIVE. THE DRIVER SIDE IS BLOWING HOT AIR. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BLOWING COOL, AIR-CONDITIONED AIR. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT WAS "REPAIRING" MY AIR CONDITIONER, SAID THE AIR WAS MUCH COOLER NOW BUT THAT IT WOULD ALWAYS BE COOLER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAN THE DRIVER'S SIDE BECAUSE THERE IS A "CHILLER" ON THAT SIDE. WHY IN THE HECK DON'T THEY HAVE A CHILLER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE TOO?!! ALL AUTOMOBILES HAVE A DRIVER! I JUST PICKED THE CAR UP AFTER PAYING $168.15 TO FIND IT IS NO BETTER THAN WHEN I TOOK IT IN. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER ANY OF THE REPAIR, WHICH WAS A VALVE REPLACEMENT ON THE LO SIDE, THE REPLACEMENT OF A HIGH SIDE SHREADER AND AN EVACUATE & RECHARGE. FRUSTRATED, I CAME STRAIGHT HOME AND RESEARCHED MY CONCERNS ONLINE. WHAT I FOUND WAS VERY CONCERNING AND IRRESPONSIBLE ON THE PART OF HONDA. THERE ARE MULTIPLE WEBSITES WITH NEARLY IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE MINE. IT APPEARS THE CONDENSER IS NOT PROTECTED FROM ROAD DEBRIS AND CAN BE DAMAGED QUITE EASILY. IF HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW THEY OWE IT TO THEIR BUYERS TO RECALL THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR. WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THE REPAIR, BUT IF WE AS THE BUYERS PUT A GUARD/COVER OVER THE CONDENSER TO PROTECT IT THE WARRANTY IS VOID. WE CAN'T WIN FOR LOSING. I HAVE OWNED FOUR HONDA VEHICLES OVER THE LAST 12 YEARS AND I'M SO UPSET THAT THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT(S) MORE THAN THIS. I WILL LIKELY NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA. *TR

ROAD DEBRIS ON A HIGHWAY SO SMALL WE DIDN'T HEAR A THING CAUSED A HOLE TO BE PUNCTURED IN MY AC CONDENSER. ACCORDING TO NUMEROUS SITES, THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW WITH VARIOUS YEAR MODEL ACCORDS, AS THE CONDENSER IS EXPOSED AND NOT PROTECTED BY ANYTHING. THE CONDENSER WAS JUST PUT IN BY HONDA IN 2011 AND THEY WON'T HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY ROAD DEBRIS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNOWN FACT THAT THIS HAPPENS FAR TOO FREQUENTLY TO THE ACCORDS. *TR

I AM NOW HAVE 6 STUCK CD'S IN THE UNIT AND IT WILL NOT PLAY OR EJECT CD'S. *TR

AIR CONDITIONING HAS FAILED ON 2006 HONDA ACCORD WITH 43,000 MILES. DEALER SAYS THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO A LEAKING CONDENSER WHICH WILL COST $700 TO REPLACE. THE CONDENSER IS IN A VERY EXPOSED POSITION IN THE FRONT GRILL AND HAS NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER. IT IS VERY PRONE TO DAMAGE FROM ROAD DEBRIS. THIS IS VERY POOR DESIGN AS THERE IS NO PROTECTIVE MESH. THIS IS A DESIGN FAULT WHICH IS COSTING ACCORD OWNERS A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. IT SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER A RECALL! *TR

SHE ARRANGED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT A PEBBLE COULD HAVE CAUSED THE HOLE IN THE COMPRESSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT HER EXPENSE. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000.

2006 HONDA ACCORD BOUGHT NEW IN 2007 46K MILES. A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR, TOOK IT TO DEALER BECAUSE OF EXTENDED WARRANTY. WAS TOLD REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE CONDENSER WAS PUNCTURE BY ROAD HAZARD. CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN WRECK NOR HAS ANYTHING BEEN RUN OVER, WAS TOLD A SMALL ROCK PUNCTURE THE CONDENSER. INTERNET SEARCH ON THIS ISSUE HAS RETURNED MULTIPLE SITES AND MESSAGE BOARDS CLAIMING THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT HONDA IS NOT COVERING REPAIRS. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THEIR VEHICLES. INTERNET SEARCH ALSO RETURNED A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN PROGRESS SEE SITE WWW.HONDALAWSUIT.COM. *TR

A/C STOPPED WORKING. WAS TOLD THAT ROAD DEBRIS DAMAGED THE CONDENSER UNIT, THOUGH THERE WAS NO INCIDENT OF ME HITTING ROAD DEBRIS THAT WAS VISIBLE. THUS A "ROAD HAZARD" NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, ACCORDING TO DEALER. COST TO REPAIR: $550. UNIT IS LOW TO THE GROUND, VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE. NUMEROUS WEBSITES NOTE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR DAMAGE WITH OTHER ACCORD YEARS AND MODELS, NOT COVERED, COSTING APPROX. SAME AMOUNT. SOMETIMES DAMAGE RECURS. HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE A SHIELD TO PROTECT THIS VULNERABLE PART. THE SAME PART ALSO ACTIVATES INTERIOR DEFROSTER, WHICH WILL NOT WORK IF CONDENSER IS DAMAGED. THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS VISIBILITY IS REDUCED. MY DEPENDENTS HAVE ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES, AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THEM DRIVING IN A VERY HOT AND HUMID CLIMATE OF THE HOUSTON AREA. THERE IS NO SHIELD OR OTHER DEVICE OFFERED BY HONDA TO KEEP THE SAME DAMAGE FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I DRIVE CAREFULLY AND KEEP MY CAR WELL-MAINTAINED. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ANY OBJECT ON THE ROAD SURFACE IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO THIS CONDENSER UNIT EVEN NON-VISIBLE SMALL ROCKS OR PEBBLES. *TR

ACCORDING TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP I AM HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES RELATED TO THE HOSE GETTING TOO HOT AND ERODING CAUSING MY CAR TO START BURNING UNDER THE HOOD CAUSING NOT ONLY A BURNING SMELL BUT ALSO VISIBLE MELTING TO AREAS OF MY VEHICLE BOTH UNDER THE HOOD AND AREAS ON THE PASSAGE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. I AM LUCKY MY CAR DID NOT SET IN FIRE WHILE DRIVING AROUND WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR WITH ME. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE ISSUE HAD GONE UNDIAGNOSED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS ALTHOUGH I HAD BEEN ATTEMPTING TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE.

WITHIN 4 MONTHS FOLLOWING THE LAST TWO OIL CHANGES, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING. OIL IS TWO QTS LOW. NO INDICATION OF LEAK, BURNING OR IN RADIATOR. NOT SURE WHY USING OIL WITH NO INDICATION. MECHANIC STATES IT IS NORMAL TO USE OIL AND NEEDS TO BE ADDED BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.

IN JANUARY, THREE WEEKS AFTER DRIVING 1000 MILES TO FLORIDA THE ENGINE STARTED TO MISS AND WITH IN A MILE I COULD NOT GO 10 MILES A HOUR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE FORT MYERS, FLORIDA HONDA DEALER. I WAS TOLD ONE OF THE REAR SPARK PLUGS WAS LOOSE AND THE BLOW-BY OVER-HEATED THE SPARK PLUG CAUSING THE INSIDE OF THE PLUG TO COME LOOSE FALL INSIDE THE HEAD THUS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE COIL MOUNTED TO THE SPARK PLUG WAS CHARRED INDICATING VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE FROM THE BLOW-BY. THE PLUG WAS LOOSE IN THE SOCKET INDICATING IT WAS NOT TIGHTEN SECURELY. THE TOP OF THE PLUG IS STILL IN-PLACE ON THE SPARK PLUG. I HAVE THE PARTS. THE ENGINE HAD THE FLUIDS CHECK AND OIL CHANGED EVERY 4000 MILES AND NORMAL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. I DO MOST OF MY OWN MAINTENANCE AND HAD NO REASON TO CHECK THE SPARK PLUGS. I KEEP TRACK OF GASOLINE USAGE AND THE CAR HAD NO CHANGE IN GAS CONSUMPTION, AN INDICATION OF BAD SPARKPLUGS. OVER ALL USAGE OF 22 M/G. THE SUGGESTION OF THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS THAT THE LEASE EXPENSIVE WAY TO GET BACK TO MY HOME IN OHIO WAS TO HAVE A USED ENGINE INSTALLED. IT TOOK OVER A WEEK. I NOW HAVE ALMOST $5000 MORE INVESTED IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF FAULTY MANUFACTURING. *TR

HI, MY ACCORD'S PAINT HAS BEEN PEELING SINCE APPROX. 1 YEAR AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE. IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE WINDOWS, THEN THE TRUNK, NOW IT IS ON THE TOP AND SIDES AND MORE AROUND WINDOWS. PEELED PARTS AROUND WINDOWS IMMEDIATELY, AND ON THE TRUNK IT STARTED AS SMALL CIRCLES, WHICH HAVE NOW SPREAD TO 50% OF THE CAR- IT IS GOING TO RUST AND THERE IS BARE BODY AND NOT ANY PAINT LEFT IN THESE AREAS. I HAVE MADE MANY ATTEMPTS, ALL WHICH THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PAINT- INCLUDING A $250 QUOTE FROM THE DEALER FOR THE TRUNK ONLY. RECENTLY, I TOOK MY CAR THERE FOR SERVICE AND THEY TOOK A GASH OUT OF MY PAINT IN THE BACK BUMPER SO I HAVE TO GET THE BUMPER PAINTED TOO NOW. SINCE THIS IS A NATIONWIDE DEFECT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE CSTMR SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE! PLEASE HELP! PS- THIS IS MY 2ND HONDA FROM THE SAME DEALER (DEALER WHO ALSO WONT HELP), AND IM ACTUA;;Y READY TO BUY A THIRD BUT AFRAID.

THE WHITE SPOTS ARE ON THE HOOD, TRUNK, AND ROOF. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THERE IS NO WARRANTY AND NO RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE PAINT JOB. THE ESTIMATE STARTED AT 3500.

I ENTERED MY CAR'S VIN BUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I FREQUENTLY SEE CARS DRIVING AT DUSK OR AT NIGHT WITH NO LIGHTS ON. THEIR DRLS AUTOMATICALLY COME ON AND THE DASH LIGHTS ARE AUTOMATICALLY LIT SO THEY THINK THEY ARE OK, BUT THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND OFTEN THE DRLS AREN'T AS BRIGHT AS HEADLIGHTS. IT'S A CONDITION THAT DRIVERS DON'T REALIZE NEEDS ADDRESSING AND IS DANGEROUS FOR MANY REASONS.
Nov 15, 2020
HEADLIGHTS AND THE HEADLIGHT LENS FOR THIS CAR ARE SO DIM THAT DRIVING AFTER DUSK IS NOT SAFE. I'VE REPLACED THE BLUBS TWICE AND HAD THE CAR SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH NO SUCCESS.
Mar 14, 2018
THE HEADLIGHTS OUTER SURFACE HAS TURNED CLOUDY. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH CARS BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT GREATLY IMPAIRS VISION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CAR MAKERS CAN CONTINUE TO TO MAKE THEIR HEADLIGHTS OUT OF MATERIALS WE ALL KNOW WILL DISCOLOR AND CREATE A SAFETY PROBLEM.

TOLD BY DEALER THAT FRONT CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS WERE TORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT $550.00. RESEARCHING ON INTERNET HAS REVEALED THAT THERE IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH "COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS" ON THESE CARS. CONTACTED HONDA CASE #[XXX]. THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL.

The left passenger seatbelt will not retract - supposed to be a lifetime warranty and as a result airbag indicator light is on, so I take it to the dealer and they tell me seatbelts are on back order and they said it could be months or even years before I get a seatbelt and there is no ETA for it to arrive. So now, I have to drive the vehicle with no seatbelt and non-working airbags risking tickets or worse loss of life. This is unacceptable. What is the point of a lifetime warranty .

Mar 26, 2019
TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AIR BAG RECALL, A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO SAME DEALER THAT HAD REPLACED AIR BAG AND NOW I'M TOLD THAT THE SRS UNIT HAS GONE BAD AND NO SAFETY FEATURES (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS) WILL WORK IF I AM IN A CRASH. I CAN PAY OVER $730 TO FIX THIS UNIT. ADDITIONALLY, I AM ASKED WHEN MY BATTERY HAD DIED- WHICH IT HASN'T DIED. HOWEVER, THE ONLY TIME IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WHEN MY BATTERY WAS TOUCHED WAS WHEN THEY DISCONNECTED IT TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS RECALLED AIR BAG. THEN I'M TOLD THAT THIS MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY FROM HONDA AND WAS IN NO WAY CONNECTED OR EFFECTED BY THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT THEY DID A FEW MONTHS PRIOR. I FIND THIS INCREDIBLY SUSPECT AND HAVE NOTICED OTHERS POSTING THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT REPLACED AIRBAGS AND SRS UNIT REPLACEMENTS. SO, EVEN AFTER THIS RECALL, I HAVE A CAR THAT ISN'T SAFE AND I FEEL THAT THIS NEW ISSUE IS A RESULT OF THE EARLIER WORK WITH THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS RELATIONSHIP TO SEE IF RECALL REPLACEMENT UNITS OR PROCEDURES ARE CAUSING THIS SRS UNIT TO MALFUNCTION. WE'RE HAVING TO PAY ALMOST $1000 TO FIX THIS AND I DON'T FEEL THAT WE'D BE IN THIS PREDICAMENT WITHOUT SOME FAULT OF HONDA OR THE TECHNICIANS AT MY LOCAL DEALER.

FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. JUST BOUGHT 2006 ACCORD SE MID APRIL TAKING DELIVERY A WEEK LATER. RETURNED THE VEHICLE TODAY AFTER LONG TRIP TO BORDERING STATE IN WHICH THE CONNECTION AT THE DOOR PANEL OF THE SHOULDER SAFETY BELT RATTLES RIGHT INTO THE DRIVERS LEFT EAR. HAD THIS TRIP BEEN TAKEN WITHIN THE 5 DAY PERIOD AFTER TAKING DELIVERY AND BEEN TOLD IT WAS SOMETHING WHICH COULD NOT BE FIXED, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR RETURN OF OUR 99 ACURA. NOW I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR WITH RATTLE AT MY LEFT EAR AND MOST UNHAPPY. I LOVE DRIVING AND THIS TAKES AWAY DRIVING PLEASURE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST HONDA WE HAVE OWNED BUT MAY WELL BE THE LAST! WE HAVE PRAISED THE HONDA PRODUCTS WHEN ASKED ABOUT OUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ON HONDAS, AS HUSBAND HAD ACURA WHICH WAS TRADED IN FOR THIS VEHICLE. WAS ALSO TOLD THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN FOR A FEW YEARS. WE HAD 87 CIVIC, 90 ACCORD SE, 99 ACURA, AND 97 ACCORD SE. THIS IS FIRST TIME WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT FIXED!!!!

THE WHITE PAINT IS ALL PITTED WITH RUST SPOTS, THE PASSENGER SIDE MOTOR LOCK IS BROKEN & THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW MOTOR IS SHOT. GOD ONLY KNOWS ABOUT THE AIR BAGS!!

PREVIOUS REPAIR ONLY HAD A 1YR WARRANTY AND POWER TRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. HONDA HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT SAME WAS SETTLED BEFORE MY VEH WAS BUILT THEREFORE IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SUIT BUT I FEEL THIS IS RELATED.

I TOOK MY HONDA ACCORD E6 INTO DARRELL WALTRIP HONDA FOR A RECALL TO REPAIR A POWER STEERING HOSE. I PICKED THE CAR UP AND RETURNED 27 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE DIRECTLY TO MY HOME. I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR PROCEDURE WAS TO TAKE 5 HOURS PLUS OIL CHANGE BUT IT ACTUALLY TOOK LESS THAN 60 - 90 MINUTES. I PARKED THE CAR IN MY GARAGE AND WENT UPSTAIRS INTO THE HOUSE. ABOUT 12 MINUTES LATER THE ALARMS WENT OFF AND I FOUND THE GARAGE AND CAR IN FLAMES WITH HEAVY SMOKE. THE FORENSICS FIRE EXPERT SAYS THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY OIL THAT HAD SPRAYED ACROSS THE BACK INSIDE OF THE CAR WHICH WAS IGNITED BY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER - PROBABLY DUE TO A FAULTY REPAIR BY THE MECHANIC OR BY A FAULTY REPAIR PROCEDURE DESIGNATED BY HONDA OR THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRE THUS FAR HAS CAUSED MORE THAN $200,000 DAMAGES TO MY HOME PLUS INJURY TO ME. I UNDERSTAND THAT AT LEAST FOUR OTHER DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THIS IS A 2-DOOR COUPE AND SHE WAS SCARED AND ALMOST PANICKING. SHE ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE DOOR BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT OPEN IT. I INVESTIGATED AND THE REMOTE DOOR OPENER WAS WORKING. EVEN USED THE MANUAL KEY TO TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR BUT THE LATCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE TO OPEN THE DOOR. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THE SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND HAD AN ACCIDENT AND SHE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR? WHAT IF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE? THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WAY THE DOOR WAS DESIGNED. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE OTHER HONDA CARS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM NOT AWARE IF THE OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE ACTUALLY REPORTED THIS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ONLINE POST COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM... *TR

THE TRUNK LID, WHEN OPENED, DOES NOT ALWAYS STAY UP. OCCASIONALLY, AFTER THE LID HAS BEEN OPENED, IT WILL START TO CLOSE. IN AT LEAST TWO OR THREE INSTANCES, THE LID CAME DOWN AND HIT ME ON THE UPPER FOREHEAD. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE DUE TO A MARGINAL STRENGTH SPRING THAT MAY BE DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT OR A DEFECTIVE SPRING. *JB

VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT 02/2006. TO DATE THE ODOMETER IS READING MORE THAN 30,546 MILES. MY DAILY COMMUTE TO MY JOB ROUND TRIP. IS APPROX 76 MILES DAILY. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A TOYOTA HYLANDER. IT WAS BOUGHT IN AUGUST 2002. WHEN I TRADED THAT CAR IN TO COGGINS HONDA IT HAS A TOTAL OF 57,816 MILES AND IT RAN A ROUND TRIP AND A HALF FROM NEW YORK TO FLORIDA AND BACK. IT WAS BOUGHT IN FLORIDA AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO NEW YORK VIA THE AUTO TRAIN WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR THIS HONDA CAR WILL HAVE DOUBLED ITS MILEAGE. THE MATS IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE APPEARS THAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS IN USE OF THIS CAR. IT IS HIGHLY IMPOSSIBLE THAT I WILL BE KEEPING THIS CAR MUCH LONGER. I NEED AN EXPLANATION FOR THE DEALER WHY THIS ODOMETER SEEM AS IF IT SET ON SPRINGS LIKE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY, IT JUST KEEPS RUNNING ON AND ON WITH NO INTENT ON REGULATION. THANKS, LORNA INGRAM *TR

The vehicle was taken to two Honda dealerships apon noticing the D light blinking on the dashboard after reaching highway speeds. Also started getting worse overtime, currently when starting up, and putting into drive, nothing happens, and after a few seconds it will plurge forward into gear on its own. Down shifting when braking is rough and delayed also. Ive addressed this issue with Honda, and they just look my vin number and tell me there is no recall and id have to pay $200 out of pocket simply to run a diagnostic, when I know this should be covered under their recall as all symptoms are matching their current recalls for this vehicle. Also accomanied sometimes with a check engine light indicating the O2 Sensor connected to the catalater converter is having a delayed reaction. Also the airbag red light is always steady illuminated. This vehicle has never been in a crash and is very well maintained and Id like to keep it that way by addressing this issues accordingly in a timely manner. Thank you, Kindly.

Clicking in steering wheel, and steering wheel very stiff. Not sure if it's the flex coupler or something else. Has been ongoing for probably 2 or 3 years. Also headliner is falling, has been lifting for a couple of years but now it's to the point where I'm afraid it'll fall on my head and block my vision while driving. This is a common issue with these older hondas Headliner needs a recall/warranty extension from the manufacturer. The flex coupler if that is the issue needs a recall or warranty extension as well. Kia has done this for their older specific vehicles with this flex coupler issue (my other car which had the same problem)

I FILED A RECALL CLAIM WITH AMERICAN HONDA. THE CASE NUMBER IS 11536174. THIS WAS FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. ALSO, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION STALLS AND DECELERATES WHEN GETTING ABOVE 25 RPM. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THIS ISSUE WAS A RECALL BUT APPEARED TO BE "FIXED" A FEW YEARS AGO. BUT SINCE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, I WAS ASSURED IT WOULD BE FIXED. JASON, AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME IT WOULD BE "TAKEN CARE OF" BUT THEN, TRIED TO BILL ME $150 FOR "DIAGNOSTIC" FEES PLUS THEN TOLD THE PARTS AND LABOR WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $800.WE WERE GIVEN A RENTAL CAR. ABOUT AN HOUR AN 20 MINUTES AFTER DROPPING OFF THE CAR, WE WERE CALLED TO SAY THE CAR WAS READY. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS DONE. THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WAS STILL LOCKED. THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO UNLOCK IT TO MAKE THE AIRBAG REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA TOLD ME THE ENTIRE CANISTER IN THE AIR BAG AREA HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS NEW AIR BAGS INSTALLED. MISLTIN HONDA SCREWED US! THEY ALSO SAID THESE 2 REPAIRS WOULD TAKE 6 HOURS. THEY FRAUDULENLY BILLED AMERICAN HONDA FOR 6 HOURS AND DID NOTHING! THEY WERE INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF THE OLD PARTS TO SHOW ANYTHING WAS DONE! MY CAR REMAINS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY AND THE TRANSMISSION TO STALL, CAUSING A CRASH! I'D LIKE MY SERVICE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY HONDA IN MANTECA, PLEASE. MISSION ALSO BILLED AMERICAN HONDA FOR OUR RENTAL. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL ON SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GAS PEDAL..A PART OR COMPUTER ISSUE.

I HADN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING AS OF AUGUST 28, 2020, SO I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PULLED OUT MY TITLE, ATTACHED TO SOMEONE ELSE'S PAPERWORK, AND REALIZED THAT THE SALVAGE INSPECTION WAS NEVER CLEARED. SO, NOW I AM STUCK WITH THEM NOT HAVING ANY EXPLANATION OR MEANS OF FIXING THIS ISSUE.

I BOUGHT A CAR & AFTER DRIVING IT, I NOTICED & STARTED TO HEAR/ FEEL STRANGE NOISES. I DECIDED TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED & I FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR HAD A SIGNIFICANT FRONT-END COLLISION & THAT THE HONDA HAD BEEN PARTIALLY REPAIRED & NOT FIXED PROPERLY. THE INSPECTORS STATED THAT THE CAR'S ACCIDENT WAS NOT REPORTED TO DMV AS IT SHOULD BE & THAT IS WAS FIXED UNDER THE TABLE, AS A SIDE JOB. THE CAR DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THE CAR HAD A CLEAN TITLE, HOWEVER THE TITLE WAS NEVER IN THE DEALERSHIPS NAME & INSTEAD IN THE PRIVATE OWNER'S NAME STILL. THE DAMAGE FOUND ON THE CAR ARE SIGNIFICANT & COULD HAVE CAUSED MY FAMILY OR I SERIOUS INJURY, IF WE GOT INTO A WRECK. THE DAMAGE FOUND ON THE CAR WHICH WAS NOT REPAIRED PROPERLY ARE; SIGNIFICANT FRONT-END DAMAGE, A BUCKLED RIGHT FRAME RAIL, UPPER MOTOR MOUNT IS BROKEN, A BROKEN SEAM SEAL (WHICH IS FRESHLY BROKEN), THERE ARE BUCKLES ON THE UPPER APRON AND THE WELDS ON THE RADIATOR SUPPORT WERE NOT WELDED PROPERLY OR PAINTED & WAS COVERED UP BY THE FRESH SEAM SEAL. THERE IS ALSO THE SAME BENT REBAR SUPPORT ON THERE FROM THE DAMAGED WRECK AND WAS RATTLED CANNED IN AN ATTEMPT TO COVER IT UP. I WAS TOLD IT IS A FRESH REPAIR AS THE BUMPER, RADIATOR & RADIATOR SUPPORT, AC CONDENSER & FAN SHROUDS ARE BRAND NEW.THE DEALERSHIP INSINUATED THAT THEY DO NOT INSPECT THE CARS AND THAT THEY JUST SELL THEM RIGHT BACK(WHICH IS WEIRD, WHY BUY CARS AND SELL THEM, UNLESS THERE IS PROFIT)?. I THEN CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED & HOW THEY HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY AS A BUSINESS AND DEALERSHIP TO SELL SAFE CARS UNDER THE OREGON LEMON LAW ACT & FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ACT (SECTION 5). I HAVE NOW ASKED FOR THEIR BUSINESS LICENSE 2 TIMES & THEY WILL NOT SEND IT TO ME.

THIS IS THE THIRD DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON THIS CAR THAT HAS FAILED. I KNOW THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION AGAINST HONDA FOR LATER MODEL YEAR ACTUATORS BUT IT DID NOT ENCOMPASS 2006. THE SAFETY PROBLEM IS THAT IF A PERSON WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE LOCKED CAR IN A HURRY THE ELECTRICAL LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON WOULDN'T UNLOCK THE CAR. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED TO THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, THEN IN 2009 THE RIGHT REAR FAILED AND NOW IN 2015 THE RIGHT FRONT FAILED. I THINK BECAUSE OF THE FREQUENCY OF FAILURE THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM POSSIBLY AN EXTENSION OF THE DESIGN PROBLEMS THAT LEAD TO THE LATER MODEL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURES.

THE ENGINE SEEMED TO JUST GO DEAD AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY. THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO STOP WHEN I WAS APPROACHING THE RED LIGHT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WOULD ONLY GO 5 MPH. I PULLED OFF THE STREET, STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL BUT I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I HAVE 5 OR MORE SENSORS THAT ARE FAILING, INCLUDING THE THROTTLE. THEY SAID IT WAS UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE AND THE CAR IS STILL THERE. SAID IT WILL COST AT LEAST $1300 TO FIX AND THAT MAY NOT FIX IT. I TRIED TO REPORT PREVIOUS BRAKING ISSUES TO AMERICAN HONDA IN DECEMBER 2011 AND THEY DISMISSED MY COMPLAINT. TOLD ME I NEEDED TO DEAL WITH THE DEALERSHIP.

I FILLED UP MY CAR AT THE HESS STATION ON ROUTE 112 IN CORAM , LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK. I PUT MY CAR , SLOWLY IN REVERSE AND THE CAR TOOK OFF LIKE IT HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPEED UP IN REVERSE- WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE - HEADING TOWARDS A VAN WITH A BABY IN IT IN A CAR SEAT. I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN FORWARD, AND WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR FLEW ACROSS THE PARKING LOT OF THE GAS STATION, CROSSED TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC, CRASHED INTO THE WOODS. I STEERED AWAY FROM A TELEPHONE POLE I WAS DEFINITELY GOING TO HIT AND, WHEN I WENT INTO THE WOODS THE AIR BAG WENT OFF AND COVERED MY FACE. I THEN WENT BACK ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC AGAIN, WITH THE AIRBAG OVER MY FACE, AND CRASHED INTO THE CURB IN FRONT OF THE HESS STATION WHEN I REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY, THE HARTFORD, I ASKED THEM TO CHECK OUT THE SPEED SENSOR- . MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHECK OUT THE SPEED SENSOR. I THEN CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOLD THEM OF THE INCIDENT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT, UNLESS THEY RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM THE HARTFORD, THEY WOULD NOT CHECK OUT THE SPEED SENSOR. I THEN CALLED THE HARTFORD AND REQUESTED THAT THEY CALL HONDA TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED BY HONDA THEMSELVES. HARTFORD TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY TO HAVE HONDA INSPECT THE VEHICLE - THEY WERE JUST GOING TO HAVE THEIR ADJUSTER LOOK AT THE CAR AND TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT GOING TO LOOK AT THE SPEED SENSOR AT ALL. SO , BASICALLY, NO ONE IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING AND I ALMOST KILLED A BABY IN A CAR SEAT AND MYSELF THIS SEEMS LUDICROUS TO ME THAT NO ONE IS EVEN WILLING TO CHECK THIS DEFECT OUT. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THIS VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION. *TR *JS

UPON HAVING THE SECONDARY SHAFT BEARING RECALL COMPLETED MY CAR STARTED TO DRIVE VERY SLUGGISH. UPON ACCELERATION THE CAR IS VERY SLOW TO ACCELERATE AND FEELS LIKE IT'S DRAGGING AND STAYING IN ONE GEAR TOO LONG. WHEN FINALLY I GET TO DESIRED SPEED THE CAR WILL SLIGHTLY JERK AS IF IT IS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS AND WILL SOMETIMES DECELERATE IN SPEED. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY ACCELERATE TO KEEP CAR GOING UP TO SPEED AND SOMETIMES HAVE TO PRESS GAS PEDAL TO FLOOR TO GET UP TO SPEED. CAR MAKES A HUMMING SOUND ON AND OFF WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED. DEALERSHIP RAN ALL CHECKS AND COULD NOT FIND ANY FAILURES. I HOPE HONDA INVESTIGATES THIS ISSUE. MY CAR WAS RUNNING VERY SMOOTHLY BEFORE I TOOK IT IN FOR RECALL AND NOW IT RUNS VERY ROUGH. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! *TR

I WAS IN PARK PROCEEDED TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE INSTEAD OF BACKING UP, THE CAR KEPT MOVING IN A SEMI - CIRCLE, THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF CONTROL. THUS, I ATTEMPTED TO BRING THE CAR TO A HALT BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKES, HOWEVER, THE BRAKE PEDAL CEASED TO WORK AND DID NOT STOP THE CAR FROM BEING IN MOTION. IN CLOSING, THE CAR LOST CONTROL WENT ABOUT 100FT. OR MORE TILL IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AT THE END OF THE PARKING LOT. LASTLY, THE CAR IS AT COAST HONDA, HOWEVER, I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING THEY COULD DO TO REPAIR THE CAR. MY CONCERN IS IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHAT IF ANYTHING CAN I DO TO PREVENT THIS? AS SUCH, THIS TIME I WAS FORTUNATE BECAUSE, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON A ROAD, WHERE I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT, OR WORSE.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2006 HONDA ACCORD, WITH A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE AND 5 SPEED MANUAL. THE CAR IS A LX SPECIAL EDITION, WITH A 2.4 LITER, 4 CYLINDER. THE CAR HAS BURNED EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL SINCE DAY ONE. IT BURNS MORE THAN 2 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN EACH OIL CHANGE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE THIN OIL THAT IS REQUIRED AND THAT IT WAS JUST THE BREAK IN, BUT IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE RUN THE FACTORY HONDA OIL AND FILTER AND THE PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE. THIS OIL CHANGE I TRIED MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC OIL IN THE RECOMMENDED WEIGHT, BUT IT DID NOT HELP. THE OIL IS AT 50% AND THE CAR HAS ALREADY BURNED OVER 1 QUART OF OIL WITH JUST OVER 20,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE DONE ALL OF THE REQUIRED OIL CHANGES AT THE PROPER INTERVALS. THE CARS TRANSMISSION IS ALSO ABNORMALLY STIFF WHEN IT IS WARMING UP. A FRIEND OF MINE WAS ABLE TO INSIST THAT THEY REBUILD HIS MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING IS THE PROBLEM I AM WRITING ABOUT THOUGH. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ON GOING UNKNOWN ISSUE WITH MY INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ON MY CAR. ON THIS PANEL, MY MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP LIGHT COMES ON SOME TIMES AFTER REFUELING BUT NOT A CAP PROBLEM AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW DAYS. THIS TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON WILE DRIVING BUT WAS NOT RELATED TO A REFUEL. ON PAGE 237 IN THE 2006, OWNER'S MANUAL IT EXPLAINS THAT THE LIGHT HAS TO DO WITH ONE OF THE ENGINE'S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS MAY HAVE A PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THIS LIGHT COME ON A FEW TIMES BEFORE AS WELL AS NOW AND THEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT ON ITS OWN A FEW DAYS LATER. I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS OF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH THE LIGHT ON. THE PHOTO ALSO SHOWS MY CURRENT MILES AT THE TIME WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE GIVEN THE PHOTOS TO MY SERVICE ADVISER #176 AT MARTIN MAIN LINE HONDA DEALERSHIP # 207980 IN ARDMORE PA 19003-2385. MY SERVICE ADVISER AS WELL AS MY TECH CANNOT FINE THE PROBLEM OR KNOW EXACTLY WHY THE LIGHT COMES ON. MY SERVICE ADVISER HAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN YOUR CAR EMISSION SYSTEM IS EMITTING FUMES THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING, IN RETURN BREAKING A FEDERAL EMISSION LAW. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY MILES SOME TIMES AS MAY AS ABOUT 200 MILES WITH THIS LIGHT ON BEFORE. I JUST KEEP REPORTING THIS PROBLEM TO MY SERVICE ADVISER EVERY TIME THE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE PUT 0 FAILURES BELOW BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS PART FAIL OR NOT. I ALSO BEEN HAVING OTHER LIGHTS COME ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AS WELL ASIDE FROM THIS ONLY LIGHT. HONDA NEEDS TO BUY BACK THIS MODEL CAR IF THEY WILL NOT FIX THE MAJOR PROBLEMS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE OF AN EXPRESS WAY AND EXITING ONTO THE EXIT RAMP. MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD WAS ACCELERATING, SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN TO NO AVAIL. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT AN ACCELERATED RATE, SO I CONTINUED TO PUMP AND PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING AND STILL CONTINUED GOING FORWARD. WITHIN SECONDS I WAS AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP?WHERE I QUICKLY OBSERVED 3 ROWS OF CARS (ON THE LEFT SIDE) WAITING AT THE RED LIGHT. AT THAT POINT, I REALIZED THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND I DID NOT WANT TO HIT ANY OF THE CARS WAITING AT THE RED LIGHT?SO I DIRECTED THE CAR STRAIGHT AHEAD AND BEYOND THE 3 ROWS OF WAITING CARS TO AVOID HITTING THEM?AND HOPING I WOULD HIT A POLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER I AWOKE, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED, I HAD SHATTERED GLASS ON MY BODY, THE AIR BAGS HAD ALREADY DEFLATED, AND SOMEONE WAS YELLING TO OPEN MY DOOR. THIS, I COULD NOT DO?AND I JUST SAT THERE. THEN SOMEONE JAMMED THE DOOR OPEN?AND I WAS PULLED OUT TO A WAITING AMBULANCE. OTHER CARS WERE HIT AND THERE WERE SERIOUS INJURIES. HONDA: WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BRAKES?TO MAKE THEM MALFUNCTION WHEN I KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUALLY? WE ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIND THE CAUSE. *JB

WE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM IN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT ON OUR TRIP BACK FROM AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP LAST WEEKEND. AS A RESULT OF THIS EXPERIENCE MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. AFTER A FEW HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, AND DECELERATING THROUGH AN EXIT RAMP, THEN RE-ACCELERATING AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT WE EXPERIENCED AND AN EXTREMELY RESISTANT BRAKE PEDAL REQUIRING EXTREMELY HARD PEDAL PRESSURE AND THE ENGINE SEEMED TO CONTINUE TO REV DURING BRAKING. WHILE STOPPED AT THE LIGHT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV ABNORMALLY. OUR 30-YEAR-OLD SON WAS DRIVING. HE DID NOT MOVE HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR FEAR OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. HE SWITCHED INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE STOPPED REVVING. WHILE KEEPING HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL HE PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE. THEN THE ENGINE SEEMED NORMAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS WAS A DISCONCERTING EXPERIENCE BECAUSE IT WAS ABNORMALLY DIFFICULT TO STOP, AND WE ALMOST RAN INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF US. THERE WERE THREE ADULT WITNESSES TO THIS FRIGHTENING EPISODE, MY WIFE, OUR ADULT SON, AND ME. WE DID NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AT ANY TIME DURING THIS TRIP. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR HONDA DEALER. THEY EXAMINED THE CAR THOROUGHLY AND COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS. THEY HYPOTHESIZED THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A COMPUTER ERROR, BUT THE SYSTEMS TEST OUT FINE NOW. NOW OUR FAMILY IS LEFT WITH A CAR THAT WE KNOW HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT, AND WE DRIVE IT IN FEAR THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, HURTING OTHERS OR US. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS STEALTH DEFECT MAY BE LURKING TO HURT OTHERS IN OTHER 2006 HONDA ACCORD V6 CARS. *JB
