I was driving with my wife around 1230am 12/27/15 last night from a friends house to our home about a 5 mile drive when the driver's side airbag went off for no reason. The road I was on was a local road. I was driving normal and safely because it was late and very dark at the time. It exploded twice. I was sitting in the driver position. My wife in the front passenger seat felt a blast on her chest. The passenger air bag never went off. I felt a blast as well and luckily nothing hit my face. Smoke filled the cabin. We opened the windows and got out fast. I pulled over to the side of the road but it was pitch black where we were. We waited about 15 minutes before deciding we should try to drive home...since we were close to home, I drove home. I called my insurance company to put in a clai

Honda dealer replaced an airbag and now my airbag light keeps coming on. Dealer says I now have to replace my SRS system for $800.00. I have spoken with american Honda and they have distanced themselves from the dealer. I have spoken to the gm of tampa Honda, [xxx] and the service manager [xxx] and they both say one has nothing to do with the other. I feel that I am a victim of deceptive trade practice by tampa Honda. I advised them that I am currently at risk driving the car and they referred me to their attorney [xxx] and said there is nothing for them to do. I will have my attorney write them a letter of disclosure this week. I would appreciate any assistance from the NHTSA. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I took my car for the recall and now the airbag sensor light comes on and off and occasionally will stay on. I take it back to the same dealership who charged me $150 for diagnostic to say it's a short or something now in the same passenger air bag they installed. It will cost $300 to fix. Seems like others are having this issue so is this a scam? This needs to be corrected and I need a refund of the money I've paid.

I have the takata airbags that are defective according to consumers magazine(jan, 2015 issue, pp.56-57. My local Honda dealer, muller Honda of highland park, insist the car is safe and the vehicle does not have a defective bag and; therefore, nothing needs to be done for the vehicle. I have an appointment with the dealership set for tuesday, 12/23/14 to check a light that is lit up constantly for the airbags. Thank you for looking into this.

My vehicle is experiencing the same issues as described in recall #11v395000, however my VIN is not listed as being affected by that recall. I contact Honda usa directly, opened a case #10120384, and was told that there was no extended warranty and nothing could be done. The vehicle is making a noise while driving and suddenly loses all power, this has only happened so far while the vehicle is in motion, exactly as described by the 2011 recall for the PCM, the check engine light in my vehicle also indicates the PCM is at fault, however because my VIN is not part of the recall any fix must be done out of pocket. The issues happening are exactly as described in the recall, because of this it seems as though additional vins might have needed to be included.

I bought my 2006 accord v6 auto not quite 4 years ago as a 2 year old, off lease beautiful, gently used model with 38,000 miles. Around 85,000 miles I noted the transmission started to shift abruptly/hard. I had a transmission fluid service completed and this seemed to solve the problem. The abrupt shifts started again around 128,000 miles. Now at 130,000 miles, the transmission completely failed. After a 65 mile trip, the car would not get out of first gear. The engine revved and revved, but would not shift. After a 5 minute rest, the car would not even go into reverse or drive. When the tow truck arrived 45 minutes later, the car did manage to go into reverse and drive to get the car aligned with the flat bed. The result from an independent Honda specialist: $3932.74 to

When backing down from driveway, steering wheel makes awful noise and hard to turn, esp. When backing and turning. Also before this happens, fluid leaking and a part popped out.

Vehicle was traveling 45 MPH on firestone, affinity tires with less then 20,000 miles on them. While traveling on dry, good pavement the right rear tire experienced a complete blowout causing the vehicle to turn violently to the left and come to a complete stop in a bar ditch. The tire was intact, but had crawled off the rim. Tire pressure was checked two days prior and was well within proper limits of the required PSI. The vehicle was totaled as a result of the blowout and crash..

We experienced a problem in stopping at a red light on our trip back from an out of town trip last weekend. As a result of this experience my wife is now afraid to drive this car. After a few hours of highway driving, and decelerating through an exit ramp, then re-accelerating and attempting to stop at a stop light we experienced and an extremely resistant brake pedal requiring extremely hard pedal pressure and the engine seemed to continue to rev during braking. While stopped at the light the engine continued to rev abnormally. Our 30-year-old son was driving. He did not move his foot from the brake pedal for fear of what would happen. He switched into park and the engine stopped revving. While keeping his foot on the brake pedal he put the car back in drive. Then the engine seeme

My daughter was not able to open the driver side door from either the inside or outside door latch. This really scared her so that we she walked to our house doors she was shaking. This is a 2-door coupe and she was scared and almost panicking. She asked me what was wrong with the door because she could not open it. I investigated and the remote door opener was working. Even used the manual key to try to open the door but the latch would not engage to open the door. My biggest concern was the safety issue. What if my daughter was driving and had an accident and she had to get out of the car? What if the car was on fire? There is obviously a design flaw in the way the door was designed. I went to the dealer and I was told that there were other Honda cars that have had the same issue. Again,

When nearing a stop and trying to make a right turn, it will make a sound... Then keeps going before actually stopping... Increasing risk of hitting car in front. Also when on the highway, car will want to kind of stall out die. Maybe a short circuit or something that is defective.

The headlights outer surface has turned cloudy. This is a common issue with cars but it is a safety issue since it greatly impairs vision. I don't understand why car makers can continue to to make their headlights out of materials we all know will discolor and create a safety problem.

I have been having this on going unknown issue with my instrument panel indicators on my car. On this panel, my malfunction indicator lamp light comes on some times after refueling but not a cap problem and stays on for a few days. This time the light came on wile driving but was not related to a refuel. On page 237 in the 2006, owner's manual it explains that the light has to do with one of the engine's emission control systems may have a problem. I have had this light come on a few times before as well as now and then the light goes out on its own a few days later. I have taken photos of my instrument panel with the light on. The photo also shows my current miles at the time when the light is on. I have given the photos to my service adviser #176 at martin main line Honda dealership # 20
