I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, A CITY STREET TRAVELING 30 MPH, AND MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THEY HAVE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED RECALLS ON 2008-2009 HONDA 4-DOOR ACCORDS FOR THE SENSITIVITY OF THE SIDE IMPACT SENSORS BEING TOO HIGH. THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE THAT'S EXCLUSIVE TO THEIR 4-DOOR SEDANS, AND ALSO RELATES TO THEIR 2 DOOR COUPE. AS A RESULT OF MY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GIVE ME ANY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT WOULDN'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. I ALSO HAD MY INSURANCE COMPANY INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND AFTER THEIR THOROUGH EXAMINATION THEY DEEMED IT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. AS A RESULT OF THE INCIDENT I WOUND UP HAVING TO PAY $2600 FOR MY AIRBAGS TO BE REPLACED. OVERALL A VERY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS A LOYAL HONDA OWNER WHO WOUND UP ACCEPTING FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING WRONG.

TAKATA RECALL. I OWN A 2009 HONDA ACCORD 2-DR AND THE RECALL IS APPLIED TO THE 4-DR ONLY. HOWEVER, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE MY CAR'S ISSUE BETTER THAN THE RECALL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (I-35) WITH APPROX. 65 MPH, GOING STRAIGHT NOT TURNING IN ANY WAY. I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP NOISE AND MY PASSENGER'S SEAT AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. HONESTLY, IT'S VERY HARD TO TELL IF I RAN OVER A POTHOLE OR IF I HIT A ROCK BECAUSE THE LOUD NOISE AND MY SHOCK DOMINATED THE MOMENT. THANKFULLY, I WAS COMMUTING ALONE THAT DAY AND NOBODY GOT HURT. I STOPPED THE CAR TO INSPECT IT AND I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I FILLED A CLAIM WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST HONDA CENTER FOR A DIAGNOSIS ($120). HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REQUESTED THAT ONE OF THEIR FIELD ENGINEERS INSPECTED THE CAR. AFTER HIS INSPECTION, HE DETERMINED THAT AN IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WHEN I REQUESTED TO SEE THE IMPACT SIGNS, THEY POINTED A SCRATCH ON THE FRAME RAIL. THEY SAID THAT THE SCRATCH SEEMS MINOR ONLY BECAUSE IT HAPPENED ON THE TOUGHEST PART OF THE CAR, THE FRAME RAIL. THAT SCRATCH IS ALMOST UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SENSOR. I ASKED FOR MORE INFORMATION, SUCH AS THE THRESHOLD WHEN AN AIRBAG DEPLOYS, HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT THIS SCRATCH WAS NOT THERE BEFORE, ETC. THEY DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTIONS, INSTEAD THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SCRATCH WAS "FRESH". I'M ATTACHING THE PICTURES OF THE SCRATCH ON THE FRAME RAIL. IT'S NOT VERY OBVIOUS BUT LOOK AT THE SILVER SCRAPE. I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO MY INSURANCE (PROGRESSIVE). THEY WERE BAFFLED WITH WHAT THEY SAW AND THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT SUCH SCRATCH WOULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. THE ESTIMATOR HELPING ME WASN'T SURE IF THEY'LL COVER IT. HE'LL ELEVATE THE ISSUE AND CALL ME ON MONDAY. HONDA DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT SINCE THEY FOUND A SCRATCH. PROGRESSIVE MAY NOT FIX IT. NO CAR OUT OF NOWHERE!

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2012. FROM 2013-PRESENT, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS AT LEAST 10 TIMES AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD MY CALIPERS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES THAT MANY TIMES. IN THE LAST YEAR ALONE, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS 3 TIMES. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO REPLACE MY REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WHEN I LAST DID IT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING THIS PROBLEM, HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE! ALSO IN JULY 2015, MY AC/HEATER STOPPED WORKING, WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUSE, SO WE REPLACED IT BUT ITS STILL NOT WORKING. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND UPSET WITH THE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA! I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY CAR THAT I'VE OWNED.

NORTHBOUND LANES ENROUTE TO LAKE GENEVA. NOVEMBER 5 20115 9:15 A.M. WEATHER CLEAR AND DRY. CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT ON OR ENGAGED. NORMAL DRIVING UNTIL WE MAKE A LANE CHANGE AND DRIVER SAYS, 'THE CAR IS TAKING OFF ON ME.' I LOOK OVER AT THE STEERING WHEEL ASSUMING SHE MEANS WE ARE SLIDING. SHE THEN TELLS ME SHE CAN'T STOP THE CAR. AT THIS POINT I REALIZE WE ARE ACCELERATING (ESTIMATING SPEED 80 MPH). I LOOK AT THE FLOOR TO SEE WHERE DENISE'S FEET ARE PLACED. BOTH FEET ARE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SHE IS NEARLY OUT OF HER SEAT FROM PRESSING HARD. BOTH OF HER HANDS ARE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE DIRECTS ME TO PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. I COMPLY BUT DO NOT SENSE ANY AFFECT. DRIVER TELLS ME THERE WAS NO CHANGE AND WE ARE NOT DECELERATING. IN FACT THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE. I DIRECT HER TO AIM THE CAR FOR THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND I WOULD TURN THE IGNITION OFF. WE SUCCESSFULLY EXIT THE ROADWAY AND COME TO A STOP. THE BRAKES ARE SEVERELY OVERHEATED AND THE ENGINE IS EMITTING STRONG ODOR OF HOT METAL. WE SIT FOR TWO MINUTES OR MORE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I TRY AN ENGINE START AND ENGINE IMMEDIATELY GOES TO RED LINE RPM. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN ENGINE.
