2001 Honda Accord complaints

SUBFRAME RUSTED, PASSENGER SIDE. NOT SURE HOW LONG I DROVE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH THE BAD FRAME.

TAKATA RECALL. YESTERDAY WENT TO COGGIN HONDA OF ORLANDO FLORIDA ANSWERING A RECALL LETTER I RECEIVED FROM THEM AND FROM HONDA HEADQUATER, BUT SERVICE WAS DENIED BECAUSE CAR DID NOT HAVE ORIGINAL PART. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWENER I BOUGHT CAR FROM LOCAL SELLER WHO IS NOT LONGER IN BUSINESS AND I WAS NOT AWARED OF PROBLEM I JUST MENTIONED. CAR IS STILL ON THE ROAD, AND I AM REQUESTING FROM HONDA HONDA HEADQUARTER TO HONOR THE RECALL IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE SAFELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE AIR BAG INDEPENDENTLY DEPLOYED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK THE GUARD RAIL AND CAUSED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE COLLISION RESULTED IN ONE INJURY; HOWEVER, NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

MY 18 YEAR OLD SON BOUGHT A 2001 HONDA ACCORD AFTER SAVING HIS MONEY. ONE YEAR LATER WHILE HAVING A OIL CHANGE THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF FRONT SUBFRAME WAS ROTTED SO BAD A SECTION WAS MISSING. TERRIBLE THAT HONDA WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO AFFECT MANY ACCORDS. I ENCOURAGED HIM TO BUY A HONDA OR TOYOTA FOR THEIR RELIABILITY, AT LEAST TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON THEIR FRAMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V025000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 192,000.

AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS ,I JUST HAD THE TAKATA RECALLED AIR BAG REPLACED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO IN MY HONDA FROM TAKATA. TODAY NOVEMBER 6TH I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION GOING AROUND 35MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY. THE NEW REPLACED AIR BAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL NEVER DEPLOYED BUT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN JUST A PASSENGER AIR BAG GO OFF AND NOT THE DRIVERS BAG GO OFF TO. THE DRIVERS AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THIS NEW AIR BAG FROM TAKATA NOT GOING OFF OR AN INSTALLATION ISSUE?. THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED BY SMART HONDA DEALERSHIP IN DES MOINES IOWA SEVERAL WEEK AGO. THE CAR IS AT IMPOUND RIGHT NOW AT THE TOWING COMPANY IT IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THERE IS A POLICE REPORT OF THE ACCIDENT...THX

THIS IS JUST TO ENTER A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA ABOUT A SUBFRAME ISSUE ON THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR CAR. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS BUT NOT ENOUGH AT THIS TIME TO INVOLVE A RECALL. I AM WRITING TO YOU IN REGARDS TO A SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE SUBFRAME OF MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD LX HAS ROTTED THROUGH. THIS IS LOCATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE STRUT ASSEMBLY, BENEATH THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN, AS NOTED BY OTHERS ON POSTING ON THE INTERNET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED DUE TO THE AIR CONDITIONER HOSE LEAKING. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHERWISE, ESPECIALLY WITH VERY LOW MILES (77,000) THERE IS NO OTHER ROT ON THE VEHICLE. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF A DESIGN FLAW RELATING TO THE LOCATION OF THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW AND BE ACCOUNTABLE TO REPAIR THIS UNSAFE SITUATION. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY HONDA CORP. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY GIVEN THE MOUNTING EVIDENCE OF THIS FLAW BEFORE SOME POOR UNAWARE SOUL IS HURT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT ANOTHER DESIGN FLAW WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CAR'S CLEAR COAT IS PEELING AND HAS BEEN SINCE ABOUT 2013, WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION I WAS INFORMED MANY OTHERS OF THE SAME CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I EXPLAINED I WENT TO A PROFESSIONAL PAINT PLACE AND THEY EXPLAIN

FIRST OF ALL I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IVE HAD MY SRS DASH LIGHT COME ON IN THE PAST AND HONDA REPLACED MY SEAT BELT BUCKLE AND HONDA HAD COVERED THE REPAIR ON THIS . THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN RECENTLY AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE LIGHT ISSUE AND TOLD ME THE SRS UNIT WAS BAD AND IT WOULD BE AT LEAST $700 FOR THE REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE(AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY) AND I AM SEEING THIS IS QUITE COMMON ON THIS PARTICULAR MAKE , MODEL , YEAR . I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE IT CAN DEFINITELY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO A FATALITY IN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT .

THE FRONT SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS RUSTED THROUGH DUE TO HONDAS GREAT IDEA TO LET THE A/C DRAIN THERE. IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. NOW MY CAR COULD FALL APART AT ANY MOMENT WHICH IS CLEARLY NOT SAFE.

TO HONDA CORPORATION RE: RECALL DEPARTMENT ON JUNE 19 2014 I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WHEN I WAS SUDDENLY HIT BY A DELIVERY TRUCK WHO WAS TRYING TO MAKE AN ILLEGAL LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR WAS TOTAL. THE FRONT SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR ARE TOTALLY DEMOLISHED. THE IRONY OF IT ALL IS THAT, THE FRONT AND THE SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. AND AS THE RESULT I WAS SEVERELY INJURED WITHOUT THE PROTECTION OF THE AIR BAG. ON MARCH 2015 WHICH IS ALMOST A YEAR AFTER MY ACCIDENT I RECEIVED AN AIR BAG RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA CORPORATION. I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE WARNING AND RECALL LETTER BEFORE MY ACCIDENT WHICH IS JUNE 19 20014. HONDA CORPORATION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY INJURIES FOR MAKING A DEFAULTED AIR BAG AND FAILED TO WARN ME ABOUT THE SITUATION BEFORE MY ACCIDENT. I AM ASKING THE MAKER OF HONDA TO PAY FOR MY OUTSTANDING MEDICAL BILLS WHICH IS INCURRED DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. I STILL HAVE MY HONDA. HONDA CORPORATION REFUSE TO REPLY TO MY LETTER. THAT'S WHY I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT TO THE HONDA CORPORATION TRULY [XXX] VIN UNAVAILABLE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR*JB

MY IGNITION-PARK INTERLOCK IS FAULTY BUT ISN'T UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL.

ALSO IF I DO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN D4 WITH THE E-BRAKE ON, IGNITION KEY OUT OF COURSE, AND I LEAVE THE VEHICLE PARKED, SOMEONE COULD BREAK IN AND PUSH IT AWAY. REGARDLESS WHAT I SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT HONDA OF AMERICA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I JUST DID THAT AND GOT TOLD THE SAME THING.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION? #10743472. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

AFTER WE RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM THE HONDA DIVISION, WE FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE IS TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE. OUR QUESTION IS A SHORT ONE. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES TO TOW THIS VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL DEALER? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR CONSIDERING THIS QUESTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE TIE ROD FRACTURED AND WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING. THE CONTACT CRASHED THE VEHICLE INTO A TREE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THERE WERE METAL PIECES THAT CAME OUT OF THE AIR BAG.

I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM ASPEN HILL ROAD ONTO NORBECK ROAD IN MARYLAND WHEN MY STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO KEEP THE CAR FROM CRASHING. UPON STOPPING AND INSPECTING THE POWER STEERING FLUID, IT WAS EMPTY. I TRIED ADDING FLUID AND IT JUST LEAKED OUT ONTO THE GROUND FROM THE STEERING RACK. I CALLED A HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING RACK FAILED AND THAT IT WILL COST OVER $2000 TO REPAIR IT.

THE DATE LISTED ABOVE SHOULD BE 2/14/2001, WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT HOME THE AIRBAG LIGHT UP. I TOOK THE CAR BAG AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT WAS FIXED. AS THE YEARS PASSED BY THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO LIGHT UP. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES. THEY NEVER OFFERED ME ANOTHER CAR OR FIXED THE PROBLEM. AS THE YEARS WENT ON THERE WAS FINALLY A RECALL ISSUED. BUT TO THIS DAY THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPENSATED A DEFECTIVE CAR BUT I WAS NEVER OFFERED ANOTHER CAR OR A REDUCED PRICE. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BUT YOUR WEBSITE DOES NOT LIST MY VIN. CAN I BRING MY CAR TO THE HEADQUARTERS LOCATION IN TORRANCE FOR AN INSPECTION/FIX THE PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR BUYING A NEW CAR THAT DID NOT LIVE UP TO HONDA'S STANDARDS FROM DAY 1 ( FEBRUARY 14, 2001)... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF

I WAS T-BONED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND METAL LACERATED MY EYELID CAUSING A CATARACT AND PERMANENT PUPIL DAMAGE.

CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD INTO FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE: P0740 CAME UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT IN CA REGARDING THIS AND THAT IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR MY GENERATION HONDA. I HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUIDS CHECKED AND THE LEVELS ARE FINE, COLOR IS GOOD, AND IT DOES NOT SMELL BURNT. BEFORE I PAY FOR A HEFTY REPAIR, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF HONDA HAS, OR WILL, TAKEN ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT.

RECALL RESULTS STATES A RECALL WAS ISSUED JUNE 19,2014. WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL ON THIS AND HAVE LIVED IN THE SAME RESIDENCE FOR OVER 25 YEARS. AT ONE TIME, MY "SIDE PASSENGER AIRBAG ALERT" LIGHT WAS STAYING ON. HONDA SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ISSUE. BUT DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS NEVER CORRECTED TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE RECALLED AIRBAG REPLACEMENT FOR HONDA FOR MONTHS AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE RECALLED AIRBAG. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THAT MY NAME IS ON A LIST AND IT WILL TAKE A MONTH TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART. I'VE BEEN CALLING SINCE AT LEAST FEB. 2015, I CALLED TO MAY 20, 15 AND RELIEVED THE SAME ANSWER. I'VE BEEN CALLED THE TORRANCE HONDA CENTER 2280 CRENSHAW BLVD, TORRANCE, CA 90501 (855) 587-2662.

HONDA CASE # [XXX] ** I HAVE REMOVED THE AIRBAG MODULE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL FOR THE INTERIM. HONDA OF AMERICA(HOA) IS REFUSING TO COOPERATE WITH ME IN REGARDS TO THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVER SIDE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG INFLATOR -- NHTSA RECALL 14V-351. CONTACTED HOA AT 1-888-234-2138 ON MARCH 19TH, 2015. I ASKED IF I COULD TAKE THE AIRBAG MODULE/ASSEMBLY TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED WHILE IT IS OFF THE VEHICLE. I ADVISED HOA I DO NOT WISH TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, ONLY THE AIRBAG MODULE ITSELF. HOA ADVISED "NO". I ASKED FOR FURTHER REVIEW, BY "CASE REVIEW", OF MY REQUEST AND TO BE CONTACTED VIA LETTER BECAUSE I DO NOT WISH TO PROVIDE MY TELEPHONE NUMBER. AS OF MAY 19TH, 2015 I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION/LETTER FROM HOA. CALLED HOA AGAIN ON MAY 19TH, 2015 AND WAS ADVISED THEY WILL NOT SEND A LETTER. THEY WISH TO CONTACT ME BY PHONE. AS OF MAY 19TH, 2015, I ADVISED HOA I WILL NO LONGER BE CONTACTING THEM AND ASKED THE HOA REPRESENTATIVE TO ADVISE THE CASE REVIEWER THAT I WILL SIMPLY NOT HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED AND WILL LEAVE THE AIRBAG MODULE OFF THE STEERING WHEEL/VEHICLE. I HAVE REVIEWED, TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LAW REGARDING SAFETY RECALLS AND CAN FIND NO LAW THAT STATES I MUST ABIDE BY THE MANUFACTURERS GUIDELINES FOR REPLACING SAFETY DEVICES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A MANUFACTURER MUST REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SAFETY DEVICE REGARDLESS AND SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ASSIST THE OWNER IN PERF

I HAVE BEEN IN TWO WRECKS THAT WERE NOT MY FAULT OVER A MONTH PERIOD AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN I WAS HIT ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BUMPER OR WHEN I WAS HIT TODAY ON THE PASSENGER FRONT BUMPER WHEN I GOT MY CAR THEY SAID THAT THE ISSUES WAS FIXED IN SEPT 2013 AND I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL AGAIN SO I NEED SO ANSWERS.

IN MARCH OF 2015, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. CONTACTED ME VIA MAIL CONCERNING A DEFECT IN THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR OF OUR FAMILY'S 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE LETTER STATES, "THE DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES COULD KILL OR INJURE YOU OR OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR VEHICLE." THE LETTER FURTHER INSTRUCTED OWNERS TO CALL ANY AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER TO A MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED AT NO COST TO US. I SHORTLY THEREAFTER CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER (DIAMOND HONDA OF GLENDALE) TO MAKE SUCH AN APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE NECESSARY PART NEEDED TO BE ORDERED AND THAT IT SHOULD ARRIVE WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. FOUR WEEKS LATER, ON APRIL 27, 2015, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO FOLLOW UP ON THE MATTER, AS I HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING FURTHER SINCE THE INITIAL CALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER AND WOULD "HOPEFULLY ARRIVE NEXT MONTH OR MAYBE JUNE."

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SUBFRAME RUSTING OUT FROM POOR DESIGN WHICH HAS AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSATE DRIPPING ON TO THIS AREA OF THE SUBFRAME. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES NOT SHOW ANY CORROSION.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I NOTICED THE COVER IN THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH COVERS THE AIR BAG BECAME ELEVATED APPROX 2 INCHES ON ONE SIDE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER ANY RECALL BUT ADVISED I GET IT FIXED. (COST $ 971.00) I TOOK IT HOME TO DECIDE WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO. I WAS TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT (THE FEELING OF HAVING A LOADED GUN POINTED AT MY FACE. I HAVE JUST HAD CATARACK SURGERY AND IF THE BAG WENT OFF IN MY FACE I COULD BE LEFT BLIND). AFTER ONE WEEK OF IT SITTING IN MY GARAGE I DECIDED TO GET IT FIXED. I PAID THE AMOUNT. I HAVE REGISTERED THIS COMPLAINT/CONCERN WITH HONDA CASE #[XXX] REGARDING THE TAKATA AIR BAG. THEY TOLD ME THAT SHOULD MY CAR BECOME PART OF THE RECALL I WOULD BE REIMBURSED. - THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BACK IN 2007 I NOTICED I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHEN NOT IN PARK. I TALKED TO THE HONDA DEALER TO WHICH I TOOK MY CAR AT THE TIME AND WAS ADVISED IT WAS LIKELY AN IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE, WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. SINCE THE ISSUE WAS INFREQUENT AND COULD BE SOLVED BY ENSURING THE CAR WAS IN PARK BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY, I WAS TOLD IT DID NOT HAVE TO BE FIXED. THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY OVER THE YEARS. I CAN NOW EASILY SLIDE THE KEY OUT WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR AND RUNNING. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER, WAS ADVISED HONDA HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR BUT MY SPECIFIC VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE NHTSA DATABASE IDENTIFIES THIS ISSUE AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V025000. I CALLED AND SPOKE TO HONDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS ADVISE THE ISSUE WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY SINCE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. I AM UPSET AND EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED HONDA WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL FOR YEARS AND MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND FIND IT VERY SUSPECT THAT MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS A LARGE NUMBER OF HONDA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND THEIR VINS ARE ALSO SUSPICIOUSLY ALSO NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO ADD
