I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURED. I HAD STOPPED ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT, BUT WHEN I RESUMED DRIVING, MY CAR COULD NOT STOP WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN OR BRAKED. AS THE BRAKES ACCELARATED, AND I WAS GOING TO HIT THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME, I SWUNG TO A CURB AND LOST CONSCIOUSNESS TEMPORARY. AFTERWARDS, I SAW MYSELF SITTING DOWN SURROUNDED BY A CROWD. I CAME OUT AND SOON THE POLICE AND THE AMBULANCE CAME.I WAS CHECKED AND THE POLICE TOOK A REPORT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A HONDA'S DEALERSHIP FOR BRAKE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, FEARING THAT MY BRAKES WERE THE CULPRITS. HONDA EXAMINED BRAKES AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES WERE FINE, AND THAT THE UNINTENDED ACCELARATION WAS CAUSED BY MY FRONT MAT. I WAS THEN WARNED NEVER TO DRIVE WITTH THE MAT. I REPORTED TO THE AMERICAN HONDA, BUT IT IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
ON CERTAIN SEDANS, COUPES, HATCHBACKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH CAN DEGRADE DUE TO THE HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 14, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 OR ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.
