I JUST STARTED DRIVING MY CAR LONGER DISTANCES TO WORK AND MY NECK AND SHOULDERS ARE KILLING ME. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH IT IS BECAUSE OF A TERRIBLE DECISION FOR "SAFETY" HOW CAN IT BE SAFETY WHEN DRIVING EVERY DAY INJURES YOUR BACK AND NECK. I TURNED THE HEAD REST AROUND BACKWARDS AND IT IS SLIGHTLY BETTER BUT FOR SOMEONE MY SIZE (5'1" WOMAN) IT IS TERRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE WITH THESE HEAD RESTS. I PLAN ON STRAIGHTENING THE CURVE MYSELF THIS WEEKEND. WHIPLASH HAS TO BE BETTER THAN THIS. PLEASE TEST THIS SAFETY BS ON HUMANS AND NOT JUST CRASH DUMMIES. I WOULD SERIOUSLY NEED A CHIROPRACTOR IF THIS CONTINUED.

I THOUGHT MY DAUGHTER NEEDED BALANCE & ALIGNMENT, HOWEVER INSTEAD WE HAD TO REPLACE THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM & BALL JOINT. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT A VEHICLE LESS THAN 50K MILES-NEVER INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT, GOOD CONDITION REQUIRED THIS KIND OF WORK! IT'S ONLY 3 YRS OLD! I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER (IN CASE THERE WAS A RECALL THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF) NOPE-NO RECALL. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS WAS CERTAINLY A FACTORY DEFECT! THANK GOD-HER WHEEL DID NOT COME OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING WORSE! ANYWAYS-$460.14 LATER-SHE IS SAFE AND VEHICLE IS RUNNING SMOOTH. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE DESIGN. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON TOP OF THIS ISSUE. JUST BECAUSE A CAR IS ECONOMICAL DOESN'T MEAN IT HAS TO BE POORLY DESIGNED. MY POOR DAUGHTER IS TRYING TO PLAN HER WEDDING. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF SOMETHING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO HER OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD! HOW CARELESS! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE-EVER! *TR

NO INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT. JUST A REQUEST CONCERNING THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALLS. THE TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE BEING REPLACED WITH ANOTHER POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG. TAKATA IS UNCERTAIN AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE AIRBAG EXPLOSIONS. THEY ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE EXACT CAUSE AND THERE IS NO CERTAINTY THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE NHTSA TO ALLOW ALL VEHICLES WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAGS TO DEACTIVATE THE AIRBAGS UNTIL THE EXACT CAUSE IS KNOWN AND RECTIFIED. THIS COULD TAKE YEARS. BUT I WOULD MUCH RATHER DRIVE WITH A DEACTIVATED AIRBAG THAN A POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE DEVICE THAT COULD KILL ME. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE ARE NO OTHER AIRBAGS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO FIT HONDA CARS. IT IS EITHER ANOTHER POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG, OR DEACTIVATION. PLEASE GIVE US THAT OPTION UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMPLETELY INVESTIGATED AND WE CAN BE ASSURED THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG IS NOT DEFECTIVE,TOO. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NOT YET BEEN RECALLED. I AM NOT AT ALL REASSURED BY A RECALL THAT REPLACES MY AIRBAGS WITH MORE TAKATA AIRBAGS. TAKATA ADMITS IT DOES NOT KNOW THE CAUSE YET. I JUST WANT THAT AIRBAG OUT OF MY CAR! PLEASE RESPOND. *TR

Consequence: A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power. The vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake has not been applied before the vehicle has been exited. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing either the left or right drive shaft, if necessary, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety risk with an interim letter mailed February 2, 2021. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available.
