WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I HEARD A LOUD "POP", IT SOUNDED LIKE GUNFIRE SO I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER VEHICLES NEAR ME AND NON WERE CLOSE. I LOOKED AT ALL MY WINDOWS AND THEY WERE IN TACK BUT I HEARD THIS LOUD GUSHING OF WIND COMING FROM OVERHEAD. WHEN I STOPPED, I REALIZED IT WAS MY SUNROOF. IT HAD A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND IT LOOK AS THOUGH IT HAD COME FROM THE INSIDE AS THE REMAINING GLASS WAS PROTRUDING UPWARD. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR AND THEY STATED IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I GOOGLE TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR IT AS THE DEALER STATED THEY WOULD NOT, THAT IS WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, SO I AM REPORTING MY ISSUES IN HOPES THAT THE CAR MANUFACTURERS WILL TAKE THIS SERIOUS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

THE INTERIO PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA IS LEAKING WHEN IT RAINS. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. I'VE LOOKED ON THE EXTERIOR AREA AND UNABLE TO VISIBLY SEE ANY DEFECTS THAT WOULD ALLOW RAIN/WATER INTO THE INTERIOR AREA THAT IS LEAKING.

BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR. I NEVER GOT A RECALL NOTICE. HAVING TO ADD A QT OR BETTER A WEEK. JUNE 12 IT STALLED OUT ALL THE WAY HOME FROM WORK. THAT WAS A SUNDAY. JUST CHECKED THE OIL ON THURSDAY. OIL WAS OKAY IN THURSDAY. ON SUNDAY NO OIL TO SHOW ON DIPSTICK. BURNT AT LEAST 3 QTS IN LESS THAN 200 MILES! DRAINED WHAT LITTLE OIL WAS LEFT. CHANGED FILTER AND PUT NEW OIL IN. STILL WOULD NOT RUN. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND IT RAN BETTER BUT STILL HAS A SLIGHT MIS. DTC P0303. THE DEALERSHIP DELETED THE CODE AND SAID IT WASN'T A CODE IN THERE. WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I HAD IT READ BEFORE I TOOK IT THERE AND HAVE A PICTURE OF IT. THE PAINT HAS BEEN CHIPPING OFF FOR OVER A YEAR, NOT WHERE ROCKS HIT. PLACES THAT ARE CURVED OR ROUNDED. EDGES OF THE ROOF OR FENDER. IT'S ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. HONDA DOESN'T STAND BY EITHER OF THESE ISSUES. NEVER AGAIN WILL I OWN A HONDA. THE CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL AND IT IS NOT SMOKING. THE OIL IS GOING SOME PLACE. AND THAT IS CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY CAR. NOT TO MENTION THE DAMAGE THAT'S ALREADY BEEN CAUSED. A SOFTWARE UPDATE DOESN'T FIX THE DAMAGE THAT'S BEEN CAUSED ALREADY.

WHILE DRIVING ON 414 MAITLAND, OUT OF NO WHERE I HEARD A LOUD "POW!" THOUGH I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT, I THOUGHT A BIRD OR METEORITE OR STREET LIGHT COVER HAD FALLEN FROM THE SKY AND LANDED ON MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW A BLACK SQUARE OBJECT FALL FROM THE SKY AND THE CAR BEHIND SWERVE OUT OF ITS WAY. AT THAT POINT I COULD HEAR SMALL PIECES OF SOMETHING BOUNCING AROUND IN THE POCKET BETWEEN THE MOON ROOF AND THE COVER, AND ROLLING ON, OVER AND OFF OF THE MY CAR. I PULLED OVER TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER MORE THOROUGHLY, EXPECTING TO SEE A DEAD BIRD, BLOOD & FEATHERS, OR A ROCK, OR A STREET LIGHT COVER SITTING IN THE AREA WHERE MY MOON ROOF GLASS USE TO BE, INSTEAD I FOUND A HUGE GAPING HOLE(APPROX. 12" X 17" IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MOON ROOD AND THE REMAINDER OF THE GLASS AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE HOLE ARCHED LIKE A HILL. I DETERMINED THAT THE "POW!" I HEARD WAS THE GLASS EXPLODING, AND THE BLACK PIECE OF SOMETHING THAT WAS FALLING FROM THE SKY IN MY REAR VIEW WAS THE PORTION OF GLASS. I IT WAS CLOUDY AND LOOKED LIKE IT MIGHT RAN, SO I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE NEAREST SHOP (PUBLIX) AND BOUGHT A BOX OF 2 MIL CONTRACTOR GARAGE BAGS, SOME SHIPPING TAPE AND TAPED ONE OF THE BAGS OF THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN RETRACED MY PATH I THE INTERSTATE TO MAKE SURE THAT SOMETHING DIDN'T FALL FROM THE SKY AND THAT THE GLASS HAD IN FACT EXPLODED. I FOUND NOTHING, EXCEPT THE SHARDS OF GLASS THAT WAS ONCE MY MOON ROOF. I THEN WENT HOME, PARKED THE CAR AND BEGAN RESEARCH "EXPLODING MOON ROOF". COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS NOT AN ALIEN OCCURRENCE AND SPECIFICALLY WITH THIS MANUFACTURER, YEAR, MAKE & MODEL.

THE DAY AFTER MY AC STOPPED WORKING I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHICH WAS AUTOWEST HONDA OF FREMONT. EVEN THOUGH SUMMER WAS ALMOST OVER IT WAS STILL HOT ENOUGH NOT TO LIVE WITH OUT AC SO I DECIDED TO HAVE MY AC DIAGNOSED. APPARENTLY THE DEALER SAID THAT A SMALL PEBBLE HIT MY CONDENSER WHICH CAUSED MY AC TO STOP WORKING. MY INSURANCE WILL COVER IT BUT MY DEDUCTIBLE IS TOO HIGH, MY HONDA WARRANTY DOES NOT WANT TO COVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A DEFECT AND OF COURSE THE COST TO FIX THE AC CONDENSER PLUS LABOR WOULD COST ABOUT $900!! I REALLY FIND THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT UN FAIR! IF IT THAT SIMPLE FOR A CONDENSER TO BE DAMAGED BY A PEBBLE WHY WOULD HONDA PUT OUT A VEHICLE LIKE THAT OUT ON THE STREETS! I KNOW THE CONDENSER HAS TO BE EXPOSED BUT I BELIEVE THE MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE EXPOSES THE CONDENSER TOO MUCH AND IF ITS THAT SIMPLE FOR THE CONDENSER TO GET DAMAGED THEN HONDA HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND TO HAVE SUCH A NECESSARY REPAIR RUNNING FOR $900 AT 30,000 MILES IS RIDICULOUS. EITHER PUT BETTER CONDENSER ON HONDA VEHICLES OR DON'T PUT VEHICLES OUT THERE WHERE ONE HAS TO WORRY ABOUT HITTING PEBBLES BECAUSE THEY MIGHT COST YOU ANOTHER $900! REALLY UNHAPPY WITH HONDA RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY THE FACT THAT I LOVE HONDA'S AND MOST OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE ONE. HOPEFULLY HONDA CAN FIX THIS, BRAND NEW CAR AND ALREADY UNHAPPY AT 30,000! AND OF COURSE I HAD TO PAY THE$150 FOR DIAGNOSING THE THING BECAUSE IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY HONDA PROTECTION PLAN! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DRIVE A HONDA ACCORD COUPE WITH PIECE OF MIND IF I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A PEBBLE HITTING MY CONDENSER AND DAMAGING IT, WHEN STREETS ARE FULL OF THEM! I NEED A CAR THAT WOULD GIVE ME PIECE OF MIND NOT ONE THAT WOULD PUT ME AT RISK FINANCIALLY EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING THE [XXX] THING! SORRY FOR THE COMPLAIN HONDA AND HOPE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

The original ASIC was susceptible to a moisture ingress issue due to inadequate ASIC passivation layer.Water ingress could result in moisture reaching the Titanium Nitride (TiN) layer in the ASIC causing corrosion and breakage of electrical circuits.The damaged ASIC then causes failures of the SRS module resulting in 1) incomplete boot-up when power is supplied to the module or 2) the inability of the module to establish either internal or external bus communications.In either case the air bag readiness indicator light on the instrument cluster is illuminated and all air bags and seat belt pretensioners are disabled.During the investigation, ODI obtained the SRS module from a complainant crash vehicle where the air bags did not deploy despite a significant frontal impact.An inspection of the module was performed at a Continental facility.The inspection confirmed that the module had the ASIC fault thus preventing the SRS module from completing the boot-up process.An attempt was made to recover stored EDR data from the module however none was present; this outcome is consistent with an Atmel ASIC failure.A second SRS module alleged to have the ASIC problem was inspected during the same visit.This second module was unable to communicate with the test equipment.The ASIC was replaced on this module and full function was restored to the module confirming the ASIC as the cause of the SRS module fault.According to Honda, tier-two Atmel implemented three different corrective actions in early 2008.Implementation of the corrective actions into module production by tier-one Continental, and into vehicle production by Honda resulted in three distinct vehicle populations.The first population consists of certain non-consecutively built MY 2008 to 2010 Accords with modules that did not contain any of the corrective actions.This population of 341,444 vehicles exhibited a significant level of module failure in service and is thus being recalled.The second population of 382,693 non-consecutively built MY 2008 to 2010 Accords contained two of the three corrective actions.This population exhibited a significantly lower level of SRS module failure, compared to the first population, but a marginally higher level compared to the third population.Honda is conducting a 15 year unlimited mileage extended warranty program for this second population.Under the program Honda will replace the SRS module free of charge for vehicles that experience an SRS module malfunction due to ASIC failure.Owners eligible for the extended warranty will be notified by Honda in writing.The third population consists of vehicles containing all three corrective actions, this population exhibits a normal level of SRS module failure.Based on the safety recall and extended warranty this investigation is closed.The VOQ reports cited above can be reviewed at SaferCar.gov under the following identification numbers: 10871612, 10869953, 10810554, 10788238, 10781994, 10778712, 10765025, 10761583, 10759019, 10758622, 10747850, 10735806, 10734761, 10733519, 10715339, 10703521, 10676517, 1065
