Here are a few more on another year Honda. ALL cars have issues, you can find pages of complaints on any make and model car. None of my GM cars were ever taken to a dealership. I see 30 0r 40 Honda's lined up every morning at the dealer service line near me. Same for the Mercedes dealer.

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE SUSPENSION FELT FUNNY. THE FRONT WHEELS WANDERED. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES, AND EACH TIME DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM,AND STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG. FINALLY A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE HONDA WAS CALLED AND DROVE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH FRONT SUSPENSION. THERE WAS AT LEAST A 10% DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE AND ANOTHER OF THE SAME YEAR/MAKE, AND MODEL. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE PROMISED TO CALL HIM, BUT AS OF YET HAD NOT DONE SO. THEN, WHEN CONSUMER DID GET IN TOUCH WITH THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE HE WAS OFFERED MUCH LESS FOR THE VEHICLE THAN WHAT HE PAID FOR IT. CONSUMER WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE WHEELS. *AK

Summary:
I WAS DRIVING ON 1995 EXPRESSWAY AT 65 MPH, WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED, I MANAGED TO COAST IT INTO A BREAKDOWN LANE. I CALLED THE POLICE THINKING I HAD A COMPUTER CHIP PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED TO A PREVIOUS HONDA. FINALLY NOTICED THAT THE RADIO WAS WORKING AND THERE HAD BEEN A KEY SYMBOL ON THE DASHBOARD BEFORE IT WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR UP AND THEN REALIZED THAT THE IGNITION KEY HAD SLIPPED FORWARD INTO THE OFF POSITION WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD NOT TOUCHED IT, NOTHING JARRED IT AND I CANNOT REPEAT IT BY HITTING OR LEANING ON THE OTHER ITEMS ON THE KEY CHAIN. I NOTICED THAT THE KEY HAS A LOT OF ROOM TO JIGGLE IN THE IGNIITION SWITCH. CHECKED YOUR NHTSA TO SEE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HONDA. VERY CONCERNED. HONDA WILL NOT SEE THE CAR UNTIL NEXT WEEK, THEY CLAIMED OF HEARING ABOUT IT IN OLDER CARS BUT NOT NEWER. *AK

I WAS OBVIOUSLY STARTLED BY THE AIRBAGS FIRING, AND BRIEFLY HIT THE BRAKES AS A KNEE-JERK REACTION. HAD THERE BEEN OTHER CARS NEAR ME, THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT I WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. CAR IS NOW BEING SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY INTEND TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS, ROOF LINER, SRS UNIT(?), AND POSSIBLY THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE.*AK

I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN, BUT THEY NEED TO SEE THE KEY NOT COME OUT OF THE CAR TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IF IT CAME OUT THEN BRING IT IN THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM. EACH TIME I WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH KEY REMOVAL AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF PLAY. I WOULD BE ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON. I WOULD DRIVE AROUND, COME BACK PARK, PLAY WITH KEY,GIGGLE KEY UP AND DOWN, SIDE TO SIDE, AND STILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY KEY OUT. I MADE SURE THAT I WAS IN PARK, BACK UP GO FORWARD, AND PARK, PULL UP E-BRAKE. I RISKED MY CAR BEING STOLEN BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET THE KEY OUT AT 11:30PM ON 12/5/2004. I PUT MY JACKET OVER MY WHEEL TO COVER IT UP AND LOCKED THE CAR WITH MY SPARE KEY. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER 24 HOURS OF BEING STUCK- IT CAME OUT IN THE SERVICE DRIVE. HONDA HAS HAD 12 COMPLAINTS UP TO DATE. NO RECALL HAS BEEN FORMATTED, NOR HAS THERE BEEN A SUCCESSFUL SOLUTION TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.*AK

Summary:
A GRINDING AND SHAKING WHEN BRAKING, WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I MUST NOT BE USED TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM THE ROADS WERE COMPLETELY DRY AND NO REASON FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES TO COME ON, I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AGAIN , THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME IT JUST NEEDED A MINOR ADJUSTMENT AND IT WAS ALL SET. BACK A 3RD TIME , THEY REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND REALIGNED , TO WHICH I RECIEVED THE CAR AGAIN UNFIXED . SERVICE MANAGER WAS VERY ARGUEMENTIVE AND RUDE AND TOLD US THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR VECHICLE AND IF WE HAD A PROBLEM FROM HERE WE WOULD NEED TO SPEAK THE HONDA MOTOR CORP. SERVICE MANAGER . HE INDICATED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM THAT HONDA IS SEEING IN THE ACCORDS IN STATES WHERE THE CLIMATES ARE VARIED AND COLD, ALSO HE SAID HE WOULD ROLL UP HIS SLEEVES AND GET IT FIXED FOR US. AFTER 13 DAYS IN THE REPAIR SHOP AND NEW BRAKES,TIRES,RIMS AND SOME OTHER MINOR COMPONETS OUR CAR WAS RETURNED TO US WITH THE ORIGINAL SERVICE PERSON HAVING A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TONE TO HIS VOICE AND HE ALSO SAID HE WAS NOT SURE IF THEY FIXED IT ! WELL, GUESS WHAT THEY DID NOT !!!!!!!! MY CAR IS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD AND THEY WANT ME TO FIX IT YET AGAIN AND I FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD GIVE US A NEW VEHICLE OR BUY US OUT OF THIS ONE AND THEY SAID NO THAT THEY ONLY OBLIGATION IS TO KEEP FIXING IT AND THAT WAS FROM THE DEALER AND THE HONDA CONSUMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT ALSO. THE RELATIONS DEPARTMENT OFFERED TO HAVE A DIFFERENT DEALER WORK ON IT BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS CAR IS A LEMON. IN MY OWN INVESTIGATIVE WORK WITH A FEW PEOPLE I KNOW WHO HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE AS ME (3 PEOPLE) 1 HAS HAD THE EXACT PROBLEM (DIFFERENT DEALER), 1 HAS HAD NO BRAKE PROBLEMS AND 1 HAS HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS BUT NOT EXACTLY LIKE OURS. IN ADDITION WHEN TALKING WITH THE HONDA MOTOR CORP. CONSUMER RELATIONS IT TOOK WEEKS FOR THEM TO CONTACT ME AND WHEN I FINALLY DID TALK TO THEM THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE IT FIXED 1 MORE TIME BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEEE ME THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED.

Component: POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Summary:
I OWNED A 2004 HONDA ACCORD 2 DOOR COUPE. I FILED FOR LEMON LAW BECAUSE AMERICAN HONDA REFUSED TO FIX A MAJOR TRANSMISSION OIL LEAK IN THE CAR. I HAVE WON THE LEMON LAW CASE, BUT WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT AMERICAN HONDA WAS NOT GOING TO RECALL ALL THE CARS WITH THAT TRANSMISSION, I FELT LIKE I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO A LOW VENT VALVE ON THE SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION ONLY HOLDS 2 QUARTS OF OIL. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 9/2004. FROM 9/2004 TO 9/2005, I WITNESSED WELL OVER A QUART OF OIL SPILL OUT AND ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. I HAVE A DETAILED OUTLINE THAT I CAN E-MAIL YOU ON REQUEST OUTLINING ALL OF THE VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE OUTCOME OF EACH VISIT. THE LOCATION WHERE THIS OIL COMES OUT, IS ALSO WHERE THE CLUTCH IS LOCATED. I HAD NOTICED CLUTCH SLIPPAGE SOON AFTER BUYING THE CAR. I AM ASSUMING THE CLUTCH WAS SLIPPING DUE TO THE OIL SOAKING THE CLUTCH PLATE AND DISK. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A FULL RECALL DONE ON ALL OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS. AMERICAN HONDA ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE MODIFIED THE 2005 TRANSMISSION TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, BUT WILL NOT RECALL THE OLD TRANSMISSION. *JB

AS FOR THE REAR BRAKES, THE REAR PADS WERE WORN COMPLETELY DOWN NOT EQUAL TO THE FRONT PADS AND BY ALL ACCOUNTS SHOULD HAVE HAD LESS WEAR THAN THE FRONT PADS BECAUSE IT IS THE FRONT BRAKES THAT WORK THE HARDEST. *JB

I HAVE A SERIOUS COMPLIANT REGARDING MY HONDA ACCORD. ON JUNE 13, 2005 MY WIFE NOTICED A SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR PORTION OF THE CAR. SHE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR JUNE 14 AT DESERT HONDA IN LAS VEGAS. *JB THE SERVICE REP REPORTED TO ME THAT THE REAR BAKES WERE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT, THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE CAR HAD ONLY 16,271 MILES. I FIND THIS ISSUE TO BE UNACCEPTABLE. WE PURCHASED A HONDA LARGELY DUE TO A REPUTATION OF EXCELLENT RELIABILITY. CLEARLY WE WERE MISTAKEN. EITHER THE DEALERSHIP COMMITTED FRAUD BY PERFORMING AN UNNEEDED REPAIR, OR HONDA BUILT A CAR WITH VERY POOR QUALITY. I DO HAVE THE USED BRAKE PADS, OR AT LEAST WHAT THE DEALER CLAIMS IS THE PADS FROM OUR ACCORD. THE REPAIRS WERE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I FIND THE SAFETY ISSUE OF BRAKES TO BE UNACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING THE RELATIVE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I KNOW OF ANOTHER HONDA ACCORD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

IN SHOCK, I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE, BUT MY CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND I COULD NOT STOP IT. I HIT TWO OTHER PARKED CARS BEFORE THE BRAKES FINALLY STOPPED THE CAR. THANK GOD IT STOPPED AS MY CAR WAS HEADING TOWARD THE KMART STORE. ONE 85-YEAR OLD LADY WAS INJURED WHILE IN HER CAR. THE OTHER TWO CARS WERE EMPTY. A LOT OF DAMAGE TO 3 VEHICLES PLUS ALMOST $7,000 DAMAGE TO MY ACCORD. AFTER MY CAR WAS REPAIRED, I ASKED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT MY CAR AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I ASKED TO HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL DISCONNECTED AS I HAVE READ THAT MAY BE WHAT CAUSES "SUDDEN ACCELERATION ACCIDENTS" AND HONDA REFUSED SAYING IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG THEY WOULD BE LIABLE.

I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSECTION OF GIBBON STREET AND SOUTH WASHINGTON STREET IN OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA WHEN I SAW A TAXI BLOW THROUGH A RED LIGHT ON SOUTH WASHINGTON STREET (I WAS ON GIBBON STREET).

THERE WERE NO SERIOUS INJURIES TO MYSELF OR MY PASSENGER, BUT I DID RECEIVE A PARTIAL TEAR OF THE TENDONS IN MY LEFT THUMB AND BURNS ON THE TOP OF MY RIGHT HAND FROM THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING. AS OF NOW, THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY REPAIRS TO THE CAR AS I AM WAITING FOR BOTH INSURANCE COMPANIES TO MAKE A DECISION ON WHAT TO DO AS FAR AS FIXING IT OR CLAIMING IT A TOTAL LOSS. IT IS SUSPECTED THAT A NEW STEERING WHEEL, A NEW DASHBOARD, NEW AIRBAGS, COMPUTER CALIBRATION AND A NEW FRONT END ARE NEEDED, NOT TO MENTION NEW SEAT BELTS. *JB

Summary:
I HAVE A 2004 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH A FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE. LAST YEAR I REPORTED A DEFECT WHEREBY THE VEHICLE WAS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS IN THE ACT OF STOPPING. I HAD TO USE BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND KICK THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO GET THE ENGINE TO COME BACK TO IDLE. WHEN I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL THE ENGINE RPM'S WENT UP TO ALMOST 6000. I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BY HERB CHAMBERS HONDA, IN BURLINGTON, MASS AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. HOWEVER, ON DEC 8, 2005, I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED AND THE VEHICLE DID THE VERY SAME THING! IT TOOK BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE SPED UP TO ALMOST 6000 RPM'S, KICK THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND FINALLY THE ENGINE DROPPED TO IDLE. THIS CONCERNS ME GREATLY. I'M SEVENTY YEARS OLD AND I RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM, BUT MY WIFE WHO IS SEVENTY-TWO AND WHO DOESN'T USE THE CAR TOO OFTEN, MAY NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM, BE ABLE TO THINK OF THE SOLUTION AND HANDLE THE VEHICLE ALL AT ONCE. IT COULD END UP KILLING HER OR SOMEONE ELSE! VIN NUMBER OF VEHICLE IS: 1HGCM56304A006527 THANK YOU. *NM

ON JUNE 13, 2005 MY WIFE NOTICED A SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR PORTION OF THE CAR. SHE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR JUNE 14 AT DESERT HONDA IN LAS VEGAS. THE SERVICE REP REPORTED TO ME THAT THE REAR BAKES WERE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT, THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE CAR HAD ONLY 16,271 MILES. I FIND THIS ISSUE TO BE UNACCEPTABLE. WE PURCHASED A HONDA LARGELY DUE TO A REPUTATION OF EXCELLENT RELIABILITY. CLEARLY WE WERE MISTAKEN. EITHER THE DEALERSHIP COMMITTED FRAUD BY PERFORMING AN UNNEEDED REPAIR, OR HONDA BUILT A CAR WITH VERY POOR QUALITY. I DO HAVE THE USED BRAKE PADS, OR AT LEAST WHAT THE DEALER CLAIMS IS THE PADS FROM OUR ACCORD. *NM

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAR SHIFT LEVER WAS IN D3 AND THE BRAKE WAS DOWN WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING UP AND DOWN AS IF IN NEUTRAL. THINKING THE RACING NOISE WAS FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE THE DRIVER RELEASED THE BRAKE IN PREPARATION OF DRIVING. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD BURNING RUBBER. RE-APPLYING THE BRAKES BROUGHT IT TO A STOP. AT THAT POINT IT WAS NOTICED THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS ON D3 RATHER THAN D. THE GEAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE AND ALL SEEMED OK. THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED LATER AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THE ONLY UNUSUAL THING WAS THAT WE HAD JUST USED THE VEHICLE TO JUMP START ANOTHER. *NM

Summary:
MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON FEBRUARY 14TH, 2005: THE GEARS WOULD ENGAGE HARSHLY WHEN ACCELERATING ON CITY STREETS AND ON FREEWAY ON-RAMPS. THERE WERE A FEW INSTANCES WHEN THE ENGINE "OVER-REVVED" ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE OF A SHIFTING PROBLEM. I EXPERIENCED TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON FEBRUARY 14TH, 2005, WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE, AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO A MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE TRANSMISSION UNDERWENT EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND HAD TO BE REBUILT. THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA AND TRY TO GET THEM TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FREE OF CHARGE, SINCE MY VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN RECALLED UNDER NHTSA BULLETIN 04V176000. HONDA WOULD NOT HONOR MY REQUEST, AS IT THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER THE DATES SPECIFIED IN THE BULLETIN. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAD AN ODOMETER READING OF ONLY 42,200 MILES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED; NEVERTHELESS, AMERICAN HONDA REFUSES TO ACT UPON MY REQUEST FOR SERVICE AND REPAIR. I BELIEVE BULLETIN 04V176000 SHOULD BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE MORE-RECENTLY MANUFACTURED 2004 V-6 ACCORD SEDANS. *NM

Summary:
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT COOLING. I TOOK THE AUTOMOBILE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT ROCKS HAD HIT THE CONDENSER AND DAMAGED. SUPPOSEDLY, IT WAS REPLACED BUT LESS THAN 7 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED (NO COOLING) AND ROCKS HAD AGAIN DAMAGED THE CONDENSER. FALL WAS COMING UP, SO THE A/C WAS NOT USED AGAIN UNTIL APRIL '06. I FEEL THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A DESIGN DEFECT THAT IS COSTLY AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL. THE LOWER FRONT GRILL BUMPER IS DESIGNED IN A SUCH A WAY THAT ANY ROAD DEBRIS CAN ENTER AND DAMAGE A FULLY EXPOSED AND UNPROTECTED A/C CONDENSER. THE DESIGN OF THE GRILL AND CONDENSER MATERIAL LEAVES IT VULNERABLE TO BE EASILY DAMAGED BY SMALL GRAVEL. THERE IS NO SCREEN OR DEFLECTOR IN PLACE FOR THE CONDENSER TO PROHIBIT ANY ROAD DEBRIS FROM DAMAGING THE CONDENSER: THEREFORE, THE CLEARING AND DEFOGGING OF THE INSIDE WINDOW IS DIFFICULT WITHOUT THE DEHUMIDIFIER EFFECT. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED ON THE VULNERABILITY OF DAMAGE TO THE A/C CONDENSER SYSTEM. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IF THIS PART IS INFERIOR AND/OR DEFECTIVE. *JB

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG. IN FEBRUARY I CONTACTED HONDA IN TORRANCE CALIFORNIA ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS EXPLAINING MY SITUATION. I AM TEACHING OVERSEAS IN A DOD SCHOOL AND NEEDED TO GET A EUROPEAN HONDA DEALER TO FIX THE CAR. THEY SAID JUST CONTACT THE EUROPEAN DEALER. I DID AND AFTER 3 MONTHS SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER BAG. THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT FROM THE USA. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM AFTER TWO INQUIRIES. AGAIN I CALLED TORRANCE CALIFORNIA(AMERICAN HONDA HEADQUARTERS. THIS TIME JULY 2006, THE GIRL SAID, OH YES YOU DID CALL IN FEBRUARY. CAN I SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR. NO. SHE WOULD SEND IT TO A CASE MANAGER. ABOUT ONE WEEK LATER A MANAGER CALLS MY WIFE AT WORK AND TELLS HER THEY ONLY HAVE BROWN AND GREY AIR BAGS NO BLACK ONES IN THE ENTIRE USA. AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM IN IF AT ALL. SHE SAID OUR CAR'S ENTIRE INTERIOR IS BLACK WE NEED TO HAVE BLACK TO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY IN CASE WE HAVE TO SELL THE CAR. NO WAY IS THIS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN HAVE THE GREY OR TAKE A CHANCE ON THE ONE YOU HAVE BEING DEFECTIVE. THIS IS ABSURD. HOW CAN I GET THEM TO SEND ME THE AIRBAG AND I CAN WALK IT TO THE DEALER SO I CAN GET THIS FIXED SINCE THEY ARE UNABLE TO AND DO NOT CARE WHETHER IT GETS DONE OR IF THERE IS ANY DANGER INVOLVED. IT WAS PURCHASED AT SOUTHEASTERN HONDA IN FLORIDA. 2004 HONDA ACCORD LX SILVER WITH TOTALLY BLACK INTERIOR. TRYING TO ARGUE WITH THIS GUY IS DIFFICULT FROM GERMANY.

AT THIS POINT, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPAIR THE DAMAGES BY HONDA OF AMERICA OR STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY DUE TO IT'S RARE CIRCUMSTANCES. HONDA TECHNICIANS AND THEIR DISTRICT MANAGER SAID THEY FOUND NO GOOD REASON FOR DEPLOYMENT. THEY TESTED THE AIRBAG PARTS AFTER THE DEPLOYMENT, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY STILL FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THEORIZING, THEY COMMENTED THAT A BOLT MAY HAVE SMACKED UP UNDER THE CAR AND HIT A SENSOR, CREATING A FREQUENCY MIMICKING THE SOUND OF AN IMPACT. ACCORDING TO THE HONDA TECHNICIANS, THESE SIDE AIR BAGS ARE ACTIVATED/ACTUATED ON FREQUENCY SO THE SECOND THEY HEAR A CRUNCH OR GLASS BREAK, THEY SHOOT OUT. HE SAID THAT IF SOMETHING CREATED A SOUND SIMILAR TO THAT OF AN ACCIDENT OR VEHICLE IMPACT, THAT THEY COULD GO OFF. SO, CAR STILL IS NOT REPAIRED, AND HAS BEEN CHECKED BY HONDA AND STATE FARM ADJUSTORS. NEITHER HAS FOUND ANY AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO SUGGEST ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WAS HIT ON THE ROADWAY, JUST A SMALL SCRATCH ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE CULPRIT. *NM

THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT OPERATE OR WOULD NOT OPERATE PROPERLY IF A WRECK OCCURRED BECAUSE THE PART WAS "BAD". I WAS PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR WHILE THE PART WAS REPLACED. PREVIOUS RESEARCH REVEALED A PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2001 HONDA ACCORD. (WHY IS THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART STILL BEING USED?). *JB

Component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Summary:
WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, MAINLY AT A STAND STILL, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL REACH THE BOTTOM STOP AND NOT PUSH ANYMORE. THE CAR HAS NOT YET EVER FAILED TO STOP. NORMAL BRAKING REQUIRES NO EFFORT WHATSOEVER AND THERE IS NO RESISTANCE FELT. THE PEDAL WILL NORMALLY FALL TO BELOW THAT OF THE ACCELERATOR AND ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR, IT MAKES HEEL/TOE DRIVING IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE HAD THE ROTORS BOTH FRONT AND REAR WARP. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN BLED TWICE NOW, WHICH RESULTS IN A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN PEDAL FEEL FOR A SHORT DURATION. WHEN THE PEDAL DROPPED TO THE STOP, I CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER. THEY STATED THAT OPERATION IS NORMAL AT THIS TIME, EVEN WHEN I REQUESTED THEY DRIVE ANOTHER CAR BACK TO BACK WITH MINE, AS I DID. THIS IS HOW I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, AS THE OTHER TWO CARS I'VE DRIVEN RECENTLY HAVE A MUCH HIGHER AND FIRMER FEELING PEDAL THAN MY CAR. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER HONDA OWNERS, AND IF THE HONDA TECHLINE IS CALLED, THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ABS/TCS UNIT BYPASSING PRESSURE CAUSING THE LOW, ODD FEELING PEDAL. *NM

Summary:
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
