TAKATA AIRBAGS I CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES LAST YEAR AND TWO YEARS AGO BECAUSE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD KEEP COMING ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT TO SET OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I COMPLAINED IN PERSON AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP OF LISLE TO A RAY UNDERWOOD. RAY CLAIMED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO MY VEHICLE UNTIL I PAID A MINIMUM $100 TESTING FEE. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT WHO DOESNT HAVE ALOT OF EXTRA INCOME SO I WAS UNABLE TO PAY FOR THE FEE. I ARGUED THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE DO TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE CLAIM CONSIDERING I HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE ALL THE TIME AND I WOULD NEVER WANT TO PUT THEM IN HARMS WAY. RAY AGAIN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE FEE. NOW ABOUT 2 YEARS LATER I RECEIVED 2 LETTERS IN THE MAIL ABOUT MY VEHICLE HAVING DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS! ARE YOU PEOPLE IGNORANT, INCOMPETENT, STUPID OR ALL 3? I AM CURRENTLY GIVING ALL DOCUMENTATION TO MY LAWYER FOR FURTHER ACTION. I WANT HONDA OF LISLE REPORTED TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AS WELL AS THEIR GENERAL MANAGER KEN UNDERWOOD. THIS IS A SHADY WAY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DO TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE AS WELL AS TAKATA'S NEGLIGENCE.

I BOUGHT CAR CPO AND REAR PADS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE NEW. A YEAR LATER, I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY REAR BRAKE PADS (HIGH PITCH NOISE, BURNT SMELL). TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $160.00 FOR CLEANING AND LUBRICATING. A MONTH AND A HALF LATER - THE SAME PROBLEM APPEARS AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. I WAS CHARGED $220 FOR CLEANING, LUBRICATING AND NEW BRAKE PADS REPLACEMENT. TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATER, STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN. RUSTED REAR ROTORS, 20% LEFT OF THE REAR PADS. ALL NEEDS A REPLACEMENT - $350.00 BILL. I HAD PUT A LITTLE LESS THAN 20K MILES FOR THE PAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS. FRONT BRAKES HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE AND ARE STILL USABLE. IT APPEARS THAT I AM NOT ALONE AND A LOT OF OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL REPORT THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO ACKNOWLEDGE BAD DESIGN AND REPLACE IT IN THE VEHICLE ALTOGETHER.

HONDA ACCORD 2009 - CURRENTLY 62K MILES. ENGINE RATTLES ON START UP AND ALSO ON ACCELERATION. CONTACTED HONDA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE SPORADIC FLASHING OIL LIGHT AND RATTLING NOISE. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED NO LEAKING OIL, BUT THERE WAS OIL CONSUMPTION. NOW INVOLVED WITH A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T REPLICATE THE RATTLING NOISE. WE NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE FROM HONDA ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT OIL CONSUMPTION. CURRENTLY 1K MILES INTO THE CONSUMPTION TEST AND WE ARE HALFWAY TO THE LOWER MARK ON THE DIPSTICK. UPDATED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE STATUS AND WAS TOLD NOT TO BRING IT BACK UNTIL IT WAS AT THE LOWER MARK ON THE DIPSTICK. CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE THE RATTLING NOISE, WHICH NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS ADVISING US THAT IS A SEPARATE ISSUE. CURRENTLY STILL COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT A TEST HAS TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN AFFECT WITHOUT ANY TESTING, SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY INSTEAD OF WAITING AROUND UNTIL SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR MORE DAMAGE IS DONE TO THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED FOR EVERY CAR THAT WAS LISTED IN THAT BULLETIN.

COMPLAINT INVOLVING WEBASTO AFTERMARKET RETRACTABLE SUNROOF. WHILE DRIVING INTO WORK ON 7 SEPTEMBER, 2017, ON A HIGHWAT, I CLOSED THE SUNROOF AND WHEN IT CLOSED I HEARD A LOUD POP AND LOOKED UP AND THE SUNROOF WAS GONE. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND OBSERVED A BLACK CAR TWO CARS BEHIND ME MAKING EMERGENCY MANEUVERING INTO OTHER LANE APPEARING TO AVOID SOMETHING. I PULLED OVER AND OBSERVED NO OTHER VEHICLES DOING THE SAME MOVEMENTS AND NO ACCIDENTS. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE STATE POLICE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2009, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE SUNROOF INSTALLED PRIOR TO PURCHASING AND PICKUP OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND THE SUNROOF WAS COVERED IN THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REFERRED ME TO THEIR INSTALLER WHO INFORMED ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME MODELS. WHEN I CONTACTED THE COMPANY I LEARNED THAT MY SUNROOF WAS PART OF A RECALL ISSUED IN 2010, AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS. THAT SUNROOF COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE THAT DAY. THE NEXT EVENING WHEN DRIVING THE RETRACTABLE INTERIOR COVER BLEW OUT AND THE METAL SUNROOF FRAME CAME APART AND METAL RODS CAME FLYING INTO THE DRIVER COMPARTMENTS DANGLING AND SWINGING. WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO THE COMPANY, THE REPRESENTATIVE APOLOGIZED AND STATED THAT HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME HOW TO SECURE THE INTERIOR COVER. THAT THIS RECALL IS 7 YEARS OLD AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED IN INEXCUSABLE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICES AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS, AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED ON THIS RECALL. SOMEONE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED DIRECTLY BY THE FLYING SUNROOF, OR AS A RESULT OF SWERVING TO AVOID THE SUNROOF. IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER SUNROOFS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED, PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH MILEAGE UNDER 80,000 WITH OUR 2008/2009 HONDA ACCORD. WE HAVE DISCOVERED THERE HAS BEEN A SETTLEMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM ON VEHICLES WITH A WARRANTEE. HONDA HAS GIVEN US A RUN AROUND ABOUT OUR COMPLAINTS SAYING THE OUR CAR IS OLD, SUGGESTING THEREFORE THAT WE NEED TO GET A NEWER MODEL, AND BY CALLING US BACK FOR TWO 1,000 MILE CHECKS AND NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM THEY KNOW EXISTS. MY WISE HUSBAND WENT ON LINE BECAUSE OF HIS SUSPICIONS OF THEIR ACTIONS AND LEARNED HE WAS CORRECT: THERE HAVE BEEN ENOUGH OF THESE PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH THIS MODEL CAR THAT THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH A SETTLEMENT EXTENDING THE WARRANTEE. HONDA IS REPORTED AS ISSUING TSB #11-033 IN JULY 2011. WE DID NOT RECEIVE THAT BULLETIN. WHY?
