On Friday 8/12/22 at about 12PM, the drivers side airbag on my Honda Civic inadvertently deployed while driving west on Hwy 28 in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (coords 46.310194, -85.627542). I was driving the speed limit (65 mph). The car did not collide with any object. I noticed the airbag light had come on before the incident, however, there were no service centers or Honda dealers within at least a hundred miles. My safety was put at risk by the sudden and unexpected deployment of the airbag. My left wrist and elbow were injured by the deployment along with laceration on my wrist. I have an appointment at the local Honda Dealer (Thelen Honda - Bay City, MI) on 9/2/22 at 9:30am to have the vehicle/airbag system inspected. Unfortunately, there are no earlier openings for service. A claim has been filed with my car insurance. They have not inspected the damage at this time and probably won't because they informed me my policy won't cover the damage.

Problem with my car is not feeling safe to drive long distance in fear of engine block suddenly leaks and overheats engine. honda refuses to recall all 2006-2008 civics. So why own such a nice perfectly upkept honda that my family' feels unsafe to drive across country, PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL ALL ENGINES FROM 2006-2008 CIVICS COME ON WE HAVE BEEN LOYAL AND BUYING YOUR PRODUCTS NOW DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL A MOTOR THAT IF HONDA HADNT CHEAPED OUT AND MDE BLOCKS SO THIN THEY FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING. UNSAFE AND PROFIT SHOULDNT BE THE NUMBER ONE GOAL. HOW ABOUT FIX THE PROBLEM SO WE DONT HAVE TO SHELL OUT $5K FOR A CAR WITH 38K

Car lost power while trying to make a left turn across traffic. IMA battery charge dropped and no assist was delivered. Oncoming car was able to stop in time, but barely. This has now happened on a number of occasions. Car lost power while climbing a hill in a residential neighborhood (15 MPH) and barely made it to the top. Car lost power while climbing a short steep driveway and could not ascend; had to roll backwards and "force charge" the IMA battery in low gear for 10 minutes, after which I was able to climb the driveway easily. Decided to replace the IMA battery due to obvious malfunction although no codes were being thrown. Problem improved significantly but once again experienced lack of power on steep, low-speed hills and in our driveway. Battery software seems schizophrenic, deciding to charge itself rather than assist when power is needed, such as hills or merging into or across traffic, even when there seems to be ample battery reserve (for example, after swapping out the IMA battery it refused to provide assist on the hill with approximately 40% remaining -- 4 bars -- but will gladly provide assist at 50% + battery charge. Sometimes battery does not charge while braking downhill even though charge is needed. Unpredictable. The sudden loss of power whenever the IMA Assist decides that it *isn't* going to help is extremely dangerous. Honda is aware of this problem but has not offered any solutions outside of 150k / 15 year warranty on the IMA battery, which has lapsed on our 2006. Reluctant to let my young adult daughter drive this car as loss of power while merging or crossing lanes of traffic could result in a serious accident.

Female onsite manager received reports that vehicle would not turn on again due to security alarm restriction, not mechanical failures, and that such activity was ongoing activity in furtherance of other abuses related to visiting that gym, such as vehicle and locker searches, which although not communicated to the manager, never resulted in further contact by the police or any authority regarding its occurrence.

VIN is not actual vehicle in complaint; complaint is related to issue no. 11460208, where cars leased from Enterprise Auto Rental [ (next to Ontario Honda)- 4/7/2022 unnecessary lane departure warning and keeping assistance that resembled shoving in front of Quest Diagnostics at 6102 Orbis Way Ste 510, Eastvale, CA 92880 ], and Hertz Auto Rental (next to West Covina Honda; not Hertz in Texas) issue radio broadcasts to deter use of vehicle through radio broadcasts to cause impression that driver should not be driving vehicle, but w/ other continuous activities, such as through rentals from Uhaul City of Industry (17959 E Valley Blvd, City Of Industry, CA 91744). Its always alternative broadcast or a voice actually emitted, similar to CHP, that acts like I'm being pulled over. On 8/18/2017, sister intentionally drove in manner that I found unsafe or aggressive to show me that broadcast would still not be directed to her and only to me throughout rental period. Apparent to others since beforehand although no tickets or accidents existed that such discrimination would occur based on verbal statements. Such activities also lead to very repulsive customer service from businesses that seem to be required to be open during time leading to COVID-19 but where staff appears to lead against that decision, i.e. you walk into store you've never been to, but know of their customer service based on chain, and instead of being greeted, you walk by more than one store representative that you have never met before that treats you rudely, aside from even cashier, instead of no interaction with minimal interaction only reflecting trained protocol. This resembles Maria Auxiliadora Hernandez, formerly Solis and now Flores, when engaging in cooperative activity. I was never Covid-19 positive, and issue didnt improve after obtaining compulsory vaccinations. I would state that such recordings and people are intended to be intimidating although they mainly seem to be nuisance to me.

Initial Official Manufacturer Franchise New Vehicle Dealer Sponsored After Market Security Alarm, KARRS System; Official Manufacturer Factory Alarm; and GPS Navigation Radio System. Alarm was successfully set off several times within the time frames selected to protect the sleep and rest of the community, violating City of Walnut, CA municipal order 3.40.030 Certain noise prohibited. Alarm was also set to lock out driver after work (355 S Lemon Ave, Walnut, CA 91789) after 11 PM PST, and then again down the road at Vons (350 N Lemon Ave, Walnut, CA 91789), at 11:30 PM PST on the same evening, and on several occasions to be left stranded at 24 Hour Fitness Parking lots at 1600 S Azusa Ave, City of Industry, CA 91748-1674 and 18730 Amar Rd, Walnut, CA 91789-4168, and allow theft to occur at in retaliation for visiting 24 hour 21560 Valley Blvd, City of Industry, CA 91789-5241 and parking there. Put at risk others that were not on business who helped in assisting in shutting off battery to start car to be able to move it back home to get it restarted to take it back to the dealer; could've been criminalized for unlicensed activity. No. Only AAA. Usually drains battery. Yes. West Covina Honda R.O. 734681, aside from others; and Ontario Honda Tag 360212. There weren't any messages prior to the failure. Car went into similar mode that exists when one or more of the alarms are active. Both alarms were uninstalled, aside from the immobilizer and key component. At W.C. Honda, the green key light illuminated during R.O. Ontario Honda didn't provide details regarding inspection other than no issues found. Confidentiality not high; observers constantly get details and mock when possible w/o detection or punishment, inclusion non deterrent. Always seems to be protecting harasser/ criminal activity. Such activities make obvious that dealer service repair is similar to a closed examination campus, i.e. cannot always reproduce problem.

I am being targeted as a DRIVER since 2010 for driving programs that automatically adjust the weight needed to effectively press the brake and gas pedals of any vehicle. 4/8/2022 3:34 PM PST, such activities occurred when merging onto traffic on the 57 N freeway from Imperial Hwy on ramp. To confirm that such occurred and that it was not due to overwhelming the engine during driving in high heat conditions, e.g. 97 degrees. On past occasions, this has involved accelerating, although minimal, when I have pushed the gas pedal at E. Cameron Ave. and S. Pima Ave. cross walk, to cause embarrassment, harassment, reports, and use of my emergency brake because children were crossing following a crosswalk guard. This incident was reported during 2010-2012. Such activity was suspected beforehand but too difficult to conclude that such was the case w/o incidents like the one just aforementioned. Since 2010, the radio has played alternative broadcasts, especially during activities as the one mentioned above to cause alarm, stress or for the purpose of involving someone else, such as Maria Auxiliadora Hernandez, formerly Solis and now Flores, of knowing exactly what was said or what I was saying to myself w/o anyone around at any time. Such activities appear to be implemented as her work rather than the actual work she is supposed to complete for the company that she holds herself out as working for, e.g. the woman at the donut shop counter is supposed to be engaging in donut shop related activities, but instead begins to harass other employees and clients regarding what was emitted through the radio or what they were doing at the time of the broadcast, instead of completing activities related to staffing a donut shop. Such activities were used to control the extent of her work and her work environment in lieu of what she is contracted to complete. Cover up seems to be testing driving practices when its supposedly apparent that I am on my way to work in lieu of home
