I WAS IN A VERY MINOR ACCIDENT ON 12/6/14 AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 PM IN AUSTIN, TX (ON LOOP 1 NEAR FM 2222). I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE I WAS NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH (I GUESS). HOWEVER, THE COMPUTER INDICATED THE AIR BAGS WERE DISABLED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED MAKING IT INOPERABLE. ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE, THE INOPERABLE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT MADE THE CAR EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. BEING THAT IT WAS SATURDAY EVENING, I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT. I AM VERY UPSET THAT HONDA PUT ME IN THIS SITUATION. ACCORDING TO OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD MINOR FRONT END COLLISIONS, THIS IS THE STANDARD CAR RESPONSE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED. IT IS NOT ONLY A RACKET THAT FORCES HONDA OWNERS TO TAKE THEIR CARS TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT ALSO JEOPARDIZES OUR SAFETY. *TR

VEHICLE PURCHASED 07/12/2010 WITH 520MI ON ODOMETER ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS A WHEEL SENSOR FOR THE TPMS HAS FAILED. THE FIRST TWO WERE REPLACED UNDER VEHICLE WARRANTY, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HENDRICK HONDA OF BRADENTON FLORIDA ( THE ONLY SHOP TO DO ANY WORK ON THIS VEHICLE!) ON 09/04/2014 I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE TPMS ERROR THAT I'M SO GETTING USED TO...THE SERVICE ADVISER STATED IT WOULD COST OVER $200 DOLLAR TO REPLACE (NOT IN THE BUDGET THIS WEEK). HE WOULD NOT TELL ME WHICH WHEEL HAD THE BAD SENSOR ( I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WAS A NEW FAIL OR AN OLD ONE) SHOP WOULD NOT GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION!!!! I ASKED FOR THE TPMS SYSTEM TO BE DISABLED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT CANNOT BE....IT IS FEDERALLY MANDATED SYSTEM...NOW ONE WOULD THINK THE WHEEL SENSORS ARE PART OF THE MANDATED SYSTEM RIGHT? NO, THEY ARE NOT SAID THE SERVICE ADVISER ...A FEDERALLY MANDATED SYSTEM WOULD BY DESCRIPTION BE EQUAL TO THE SUM OF ALL OF IT'S PARTS CORRECT??? NO EVEN THIS BEING THE THIRD FAILURE IN 4 YEARS THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE A MAJOR PART OF THE VEHICLES SAFETY SYSTEM WITH A PATTERN OF FAILING. SO NOW THEY CROSS ROTATED THE TIRES, AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHICH IS THE BAD WHEEL....SAFETY FIRST. *TR

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE AT A NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED WITH A HUGE LUNGE INTO THE CAR FACING ME. IF THE OTHER VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN A LARGE VAN I WOULD HAVE NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BECAUSE AT THAT POINT I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. JUST THINKING OF WHAT 'MIGHT HAVE BEEN' IS TERRIFYING! IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND AT LEAST FOUR OF THESE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ACCOUNTS..... SAME CAR, SAME YEAR, SAME MODEL. NO RECALL YET BUT THERE SHOULD BE. DAMAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE AROUND $5K.

A BOLT THAT ATTACHES THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE STEERING COLUMN WAS FOUND TO BE LOOSE DURING A VEHICLE REPAIR. (I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THE STEERING DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT AND MADE UNUSUAL SOUNDS DURING VEHICLE OPERATION.) DESPITE MY HAVING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE (AND THE MALFUNCTION BEING A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE), HONDA REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR PERFORMED BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP. "[XXX]," AN EMPLOYEE OF THE HONDA SERVICE CONTRACT DEPARTMENT (SHE WOULDN'T GIVE HER LAST NAME), SAID THE STEERING ISSUE WAS CONSIDERED AN "ADJUSTMENT" AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, FOR ITS PART, SAID THE BOLT WAS AT RISK OF BECOMING LOOSER AND IMPAIRING STEERING OF THE VEHICLE IF THE REPAIR WERE NOT MADE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE BRAKING HARD TO AVOID IMPACTING VEHICLE STOPPED ON HIGHWAY SEAT BELTS LOCKED UP AND NOW WILL NOT RELEASE. HONDA DIAGNOSTIC INCORRECTLY STATES SRS SYSTEM WAS TRIGGERED BY IMPACT - CAR SUSTAINED NO DAMAGE. RECOMMENDATION IS TO REPLACE FRONT SEAT BELTS AT $345.62 EACH AND SRS CONTROL UNIT AT $680.42, PLUS LABOR. AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE STATES THAT THE SEAT BELT SYSTEM PERFORMED AS IT SHOULD. IT IS LOGICAL FOR PASSIVE RESTRAINTS, LIKE AIR BAGS, TO WORK ONLY ONCE, BUT ILLOGICAL FOR SEAT BELTS TO FAIL AFTER ONE USE. APPARENTLY HONDA CONSIDERS SEAT BELTS THAT WORKS ONCE A SUCCESS. IN FACT THIS ACTIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM FAILED AFTER ONE USE, LEAVING HONDA DRIVERS UNABLE TO OBEY THE LAW AND BUCKLE UP WHILE DRIVING BEFORE THEY PAY $1500+ FOR AVOIDING A COLLISION! *TR
