TAMARA RECALL , I BOUGHT THE C A E FROM BIRTHDAY AUTO AUCTION AND I HAD IT FOR 2\1 MONTHS AND IT'S STARTED MAKING A STRUGGLING SOUND AND WOULD TAKE LONGER TO START UP THEN AFTER THAT THE WHOLE ENGUIN STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE THERMOMETER WENT OUT THEN IT WOULDN'T SPEED UP PAST 25 MILES FROM THAT POINT I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING IT.

1994 HONDA ACCORD EX IS USED 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR AS IT IS LEFT AT CONDO AND HAS $17,400 MILES. IT IS A PERFECT RUNNING CAR. ON DECEMBER 19, 2017 AN ICON SHOWED UP ON THE DASHBOARD. IT SAID "CHECK". WAS TOLD IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE. WAS GOING TO BRING IT TO MECHANICAL STATION AS IT WAS LATE. AFTER DRIVING ON A HEAVY TRAFFIC MAIN ROAD, IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING. IT WAS PUSHED TO THE SIDE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. IT WAS ABOUT $450.00. I NOW SEE THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR THIS YEARS AGO. I NEVER GOT A RECALL WARNING. THE REASON I AM WRITING THIS IS BECAUSE IF THERE WAS A CAR IN BACK OF ME, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. IF DRIVING ON I95 WHERE CARS GO TO 85 MILES AN HOUR, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. THIS CAR IS EXCELLENT AND I WAS TOLD BY DELRAY HONDA THAT "THIS ENGINE WILL LAST FOREVER". CARS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD TO THE PUBLIC WHERE IT IS POSSIBLE TO JUST STOP WHILE IN MOTION. IT WAS A DISTRIBUTOR. HAVE A RECEIPT IF NEEDED.

1994 HONDA ACCORD EX. POSSIBLE AIRBAG DEFECT. *TA THE CONSUMER DOES NOT FEEL SAFE IN HIS VEHICLE. *JB

KEY WAS REMOVED FROM IGNITION SWITCH WHILE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER WAS INADVERTANTLY LEFT IN THE " DRIVE " POSITION. VEHICLE HAD ROLLED ABOUT 20 FEET IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I RETURNED. THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IF THE " IGNITION INTERLOCK " IS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY APPLYING THE BRAKE WHEN THE PEDAL WENT DOWN NEARLY TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY. THE BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED JUST AFT OF THE GAS TANK WHERE IT PASSES TRANSVERSELY OVER THE FRAME TO THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL. THE LINE FORE AND AFT IS COATED BUT THIS SECTION IS NOT AND HAD CORRODED. THE CONDITION OF THE BRAKE LINE AT THIS POINT IS NOT VISIBLE TO INSPECTION WHEN THE CAR IS ON A HOIST. *TR

I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, STARTING TO GRADUALLY APPLY BRAKES MORE THAN 200 FEET AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION. THERE'S ONLY ONE CAR IN FRONT OF ME; IT ALREADY STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE INTERSECTION. WHEN MY CAR WAS ABOUT 15 FEET AWAY FROM THE FRONT CAR, I FELT A SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING POWER, AND WOULD HAVE A DIRECT COLLISION WITH THE FRONT CAR. I IMMEDIATELY MADE A SHARP LEFT TURN. MY CAR'S RIGHT FRONT LIGHT AREA HIT THE FRONT CAR'S LEFT REAR BUMPER. MY CAR CONTINUED MOVING, AND FINALLY STOPPED ON THE CURB/GRASS BY THE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION. LATER THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CONFIRMED THAT MY CAR HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL, WHICH WAS ALSO LATER CONFIRMED BY PROFESSIONAL MECHANICS. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, WE (MY GIRLFRIEND AND I) HAD THE CAR FOR 7 YEARS. WE HAD NEVER HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE TOWARD THE END OF A 250-MILE ROUND TRIP HIGH WAY DRIVING. I DIDN'T FEEL ANY BRAKE PROBLEM DURING THE DRIVING BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT TRAVELING 35 MPH, WHERE I HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH MY FRONT END. DURING THE IMPACT I RECALL MY BODY MOVING FORWARD, THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINING ME, AND MY HEAD CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD HITTING MY CHEST. DUE TO THE LATE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG, THE IMPACT OF THE AIRBAG OCCURRED ON TOP OF MY HEAD. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS AND IT COMPLICATED THE INJURIES TO MY NECK AND HEAD. I ALSO RECEIVED AN AIRBAG BURN ON MY RIGHT WRIST FROM THE ESCAPING GAS FROM THE AIRBAG VENT. *TR

I WAS STOPPED WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN I WAS HIT FROM THE REAR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE... MY SEAT BROKE AND IT LEFT ME IN A RECLINING POSITION. *TR

WHILE I WAS WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I WAS HIT FROM THE REAR. MY SEAT BROKE AND IT LEFT ME IN A RECLINING POSITION. *TR

CLEAR COAT ON VEHICLE BEGAN TO FAIL IN 2004. OVER SEVEN YEARS, HAS BECOME EXTENSIVE. I DID COMPLAIN TO DEALER AND HONDA EVEN THOUGHT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. WAS TOLD IT WAS "AN OLD CAR". AT THIS POINT, PERHAPS 40 PERCENT OF PAINTED METAL HAS CLEAR COAT MISSING (PEELED). HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER HONDAS WITH SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND NOTICED BLUE AND BLACK SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE HOOD AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND THE CONTACT INSPECTED UNDER THE HOOD AND DETECTED NO FLAMES. THERE WAS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE CAM SHAFT SEALS WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED WITH NO RESOLUTIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO START TWICE. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF THE ISSUE. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN MAY 2010 AND THE ENTIRE CAR WENT DEAD. NO POWER TO THE ENGINE OR ANY ACCESSORIES. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC OR ELSE THE SITUATION COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH DIFFERENTLY WITH A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I COASTED TO A STOP AND WIGGLED THE KEY, AND LIMPED IT HOME WITH THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND TRACED THE ISSUE TO A DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH. I ORDERED A BECKARNLEY #201-1807 SWITCH TO REPLACE THE OLD ONE. THE OLD SWITCH WAS CLEARLY WORN AND HAD BURN MARKS ON THE METAL, THUS CAUSING THE LACK OF CONDUCTION IN THE IGNITION SYSTEM. THE CAR IS RUNNING PERFECTLY NOW. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS FOR OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL (HONDA ACCORD). *TR

THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I THOUGHT IT HAD STALLED, AND IT TOOK ME A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO GET IT RESTARTED. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AGAIN, I THOUGHT IT HAD STALLED, BUT I THOUGHT IT ODD THE CAR WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND 45 MPH. I HAD TO COAST ON THE MOMENTUM OF THE SPEED THE CAR WAS TRAVELING BEFORE IT LOST POWER. I HAD TO MANEUVER ACROSS 2 LANES OF BUSY AND FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC AND BARELY MADE IT TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER BEFORE THE CAR STOPPED. I FEEL I ONLY MADE IT OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE THE DRIVER OF THE PICKUP BEHIND ME REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG, AND HE STRADDLED THE LANES OF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, FORCING TRAFFIC TO SLOW DOWN SO I COULD GET THROUGH. I FEEL A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED HAD THIS DRIVER NOT DONE WHAT HE DID. AGAIN, IT TOOK ME A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO RESTART IT. I MADE IT HOME FINE, AND WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC, WHO SEARCHED THE ENGINE, TUNED UP THE CAR, BUT FOUND NO REASON WHY IT WOULD HAVE STALLED. WHEN I DROVE IT AGAIN, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN, THIS TIME WHEN I WAS WAITING TO TURN LEFT INTO MY HOME DRIVEWAY. I SWITCHED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON, BUT I'M NOT SURE THE LIGHTS ACTUALLY TURNED ON, BECAUSE IT TOOK THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME SOME TIME TO REALIZE THAT I WASN'T GOING TO BE TURNING LEFT AFTER TRAFFIC CLEARED. THIS TIME, I NOTICED THAT ALL POWER TO THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS WAS GONE, AND THAT THE CAR HAD NOT ACTUALLY STALLED AS I HAD ORIGINALLY THO

IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE CAR JUST STALLS. I HAD TO USE TWO HANDS TO GET HER OFF THE ROAD,BECAUSE OF NO STEERING, AND TRY TO START HER AGAIN. SHE WILL TURN OVER BUT WONT START. HAD TO HAVE HER TOWED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A WEEK. HAD BATTERY,ALTERNATOR,AND ALL CONNECTIONS CHECKED,NOTHING. NOW ITS AT THE DEALER AND IM SURE THEY ARE GOING TO SOCK IT TO ME!THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VIN ,BUT WHY DID I SEE ON THE INTERNET LOTS OF STORIES OF THE SAME PROBLEM,AND WAS CONSIDERED ON THE RECALL?

THE CAR STOPPED IN THE HIGHWAY , THE STERING WHEEL STOP BECAUSE IT IS HYDRAULIC AND ABS BRAKE STOPED WORKING.

ORGINAL ABS MODULATOR LEAKED AND WAS REPLACED. NOW FACTORY INSTALLED REPLACEMENT IS LEAKING. THIS IS A HIGH RISK OF ACCIDENT PROBLEM BECAUSE HONDA PLUMED THE ABS SYSTEM IN WITH THE HYDRALIC BRAKE SYSTEM. LEAKING IN THE ABS SYSTEM CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF BRAKES AND AN ACCIDENT. *AK

ON MARCH 10, 2004 MY WIFE WAS TRAVELLING SOUTH ON I-5 IN TUALATIN, OR, WHEN SUDDENLY THE AUTOMOBILE WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND VEERED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. THE AUTOMOBILE WENT OVER AN EMBANKMENT, AND DOWN INTO A LARGE DITCH. MY WIFE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED, AND IS STILL RECOVERING TODAY. SHE EXPERIENCED A DOUBLE FRACTURE OF HER RIGHT HEEL, FIVE BROKEN RIBS, A SEVERELY LACERATED RIGHT ARM AND WRIST, A LACERATED RIGHT KNEE, INTERNAL INJURIES, A COLLAPSED RIGHT LUNG, AND MASSIVE CHEST CONTUSIONS. THE INTERNAL CHEST INJURIES HAVE RESULTED IN 4 LITERS OF FLUID ON THE LUNGS, AND PNEUMONIA. HER AUTOMOBILE WAS A 1994 HONDA ACCORD EX 2 DR., AND IT WAS TOTALED. INVESTIGATION HAS REVEALED THAT THIS MODEL HONDA HAS EXPERIENCED LOWER FRONT BALL JOINT FAILURE WHICH CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND A SEVERE ACCIDENT. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE. HONDA ISSUED A RECALL LETTER ON THIS DEFECT, BUT MY WIFE NEVER DID RECEIVE ANY SUCH LETTER. I HAVE WRITTEN TO HONDA MOTOR CAR CO., THEY HAVE INVESTIGATED THE ACCIDENT, BUT I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THEM. *AK

AT REST STOP ON NJ TURNPIKE WHILE PULLING INTO FILLUP A GASOLINE PUMP MY MOTOR BEGAN RACING AND I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR, A 1994 HONDA ACCORD. I HIT A LARGE VAN/SMALL MOTOR HOME IN FRONT OF ME AND SUSTAINED $4187 IN DAMMAGE. NO ONE WAS HURT AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

MY 1994 HONDA ACCORD HAS THE SAFETY DEFECT PRESENT IN 1998 HONDA ACCORDS (REFER TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 02V120000). I WAS AWARE OF THE DEFECT ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO BUT DIDN'T REALIZE THE ACCIDENT POTENTIAL UNTIL SEEING AN ARTICLE IN FEBRUARY 2004 CONSUMER REPORTS (PAGE 11). I BELIEVE A RECALL AND DEALER REPAIR MIGHT SAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF LIFE. *JB
