2011 Honda Accord

I KEEP HEARING WHINING SOUNDS UNDER HOOD. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS POWER STEERING BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE LOW. HOWEVER, AFTER TOPPING IT OFF, IT CONTINUES AND SOMETIMES GET EVEN LOUDER. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED CRACKING SOUND FROM WHEEL WHEN DRIVING. IT'S REALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN ROADS/STREETS ARE UNEVEN. IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEELS ARE GOING TO ROLL OFF AT ANY TIME. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY DRIVER SIDE MAP LIGHT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, DRIVER SIDE MAP LIGHT WORKS ON RARE OCCASIONS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE VISOR SEEMS TO HAVE A SHORT. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING. I OWNED A 98 HONDA ACCORD AND NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES FOR 13 YEARS. I NOTICED THERE HAS BEEN RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2011 HONDA ACCORD FOR SUSPENSION ISSUES. WHY IS THIS CAR NOT INCLUDED?

1ST ISSUE: INTERIOR LEATHER ON DOOR PANEL BUBBLES WHEN IN SUN AND HAS STARTED TO COM OFF DRIVERS DOOR SIDE. 2ND ISSUE: OUTSIDE FRONT COVER/PANEL OF CAR FELL OFF DUE TO WORN PLASTIC BOLTS WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. 3 ISSUE: WHILE PARKED AND REMOVING ITEMS FROM TRUNK, TRUNK CAME DOWN AND HIT ME ON THE FOREHEAD. ALSO, TRUCK WILL NOT STAY DOWN UNLESS I CONTINUOUS SLAM IT WHICH HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO LOCK. BUMP WITH SLIGHT CUT TO FOREHEAD.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOESN'T SNAP BACK INTO PLACE AFTER USE. I USE IT TO HELP PROTECT MY EYES FROM THE SUN WHILE DRIVING, OR TO HOLD UP THE SUN SCREEN WHEN PARKED. INSTEAD OF SNAPPING INTO PLACE AFTER USE, IT DANGLES DOWN ABOUT 2" IN FRONT OF MY FACE. I'M OVER 6' TALL AND THE DANGLING VISOR CAN BLOCK BY VIEW. HONDA HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE CIVIC MODEL A FEW YEARS BEFORE AND THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T FIXED THE POOR DESIGN.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE DATED JULY 2016 INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL BUT SAYING THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I NEVER RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE THAT THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. RECENTLY I SCHEDULED THE REPAIR WITH HOLLER HONDA OF ORLANDO FL. I ASSUMED I WOULD BE GIVEN A CAR TO DRIVE WHILE THE REPAIR WAS BEING DONE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NOT BE FURNISHED A CAR WHICH MEANT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO RENT A CAR OR PAY TAXI FARE. SINCE THIS AIR BAG DEFECT IS NOT OF MY DOING I FEEL THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING OUT OF MY POCKET. AM I RIGHT OR WRONG? I FEEL THE RECALL SHOULD BE TOTALLY COST FREE.
