MY DAUGHTER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THE OTHER NIGHT AND HER AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF. SHE WAS DRIVING 50 MPH ON RT. 152 WHEN SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HER ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE STREET. MY DAUGHTER APPLIED THE BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING THE OTHER VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WENT OFF BUT THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT!
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT WAS BRAKING BY ITSELF WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND AFTER SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DAMAGED AND BEYOND THE SECOND GEAR, IT IS SLIPPING. THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THAT DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY LED TO AN ACCIDENT BY BEING REAR ENDED OR WORSE. HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.
TAKATA RECALL----I CAN'T FIND OUT WHEN MY '03 ACCORD WILL BE RECALLED OR WHETHER IT'S CONSIDERED AMONG THE MOST AT RISK. HAVE HEARD NOTHING AND NHTSA VIN SEARCH INDICATES NO RECALL SO FAR. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME AS I HAVE ONLY ONE EYE AND A CRASH WITH THIS DEFECTIVE AIR BAG COULD LEAD TO TOTAL BLINDNESS OR WORSE.

MY SON SUFFERED A L1 BURST FRACTURE, DAMAGING HIS SPINAL CORD, WHICH LEFT HIM A PARAPLEGIC CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR . AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS A SIDE ROLLOVER, SENSORS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TRIGGED. THE CAR DID HOWEVER, HAVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT, LEFT FRONT, LEFT REAR AND RIGHT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. MY SON WAS 25 AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.
TAKATA RECALL: I WANT TO KNOW WHY THE TAKATA AIRBAG IN MY CAR IS NOT BEING RECALLED "AT THIS TIME." AS I WAS TOLD BY HONDA IN TORRENCE.

I WANT AN ANSWER AS TO WHY MY TAKATA AIRBAG IS NOT BEING REPLACED. PERHAPS THE MEDIA CAN HELP ME.
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT MY 03 HONDA ACCORD WAS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL, BUT THE SEARCHES SAY THERE IS NO OUTSTANDING RECALL. THEY KEPT CHANGING THE YEARS, STATES W VS WO HUMIDITY, ETC, BUT ALL ACCORD BEFORE AND AFTER MY YEAR WERE AFFECTED, AND I AM CERTAIN THE AIRBAG FIX WAS NEVER DONE BY MY HONDA DEALERSHIP. I CAN'T GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. IS THERE NOT A DANGER WITH THESE ORIGINAL TAKATA AIRBAGS? VIN [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HELLO I NEED TO SUBMIT A NEAR COLLISION INCIDENT CAUSED BY A TRANSMISSION LOCKUP ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. I DON'T KNOW YOUR VIN TRACKING METHODS, BUT YOU HAVE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR ALL OF THEM, PARTICULARLY MINE. REFER TO: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 04V-176 MFR CAMPAIGN ID: P38 CAMPAIGN DSCRIPTION: 03-04 ACCORD AUTO TRANS RECALL RECALL DATE: 04/13/2014 I'VE JUST HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME IN MY 2003 ACCORD AND CAN PROVIDE PROOF BY SUBMITTING MY TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT RECORDS FROM THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER SERVICE SHOP. I WAS LUCKY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME.
TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED (NHTSA REFERENCE #04V176000) IN 2004 FOR OVER HEATING PROBLEM. THERE WAS NO FOLLOW UP TO SEE IF REPAIRS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL WERE EFFECTIVE OVER THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE TRANSMISSION. SYMPTOMS STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. TRANSMISSION PAUSES BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. THEN TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND ENGINE REVS. AFTER ONE WEEK, TRANSMISSION QUIT PULLING AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE. CAR WOULD NOT GET UP TO SPEED AND TRANSMISSION QUIT PULLING ENTIRELY, LEAVING ME STRANDED ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE. TRANSMISSION FLUID BLACK AND BURNT. SOUNDS LIKE GEAR JUMPING TEETH.
TAKATA RECALL WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME (VEHICLE IN MOTION) ON PASEO PADRE BOULEVARD IN FREMONT CALIFORNIA, MY AIRBAGS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT THAT WOULD TRIGGER AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. I BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOME DEFECTIVE PARTS. I CONTINUE TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH HONDA AND THEY IGNORE ME.
DRIVING TO WORK ON 8/5/17 AT AROUND 4 AM AND THE PASSENGER SIDE ROOF AND SEAT AIR BAGS WENT OFF FOR NO REASON. TURNED THE CAR AROUND AND TOOK IT HOME TO WHERE IT HAS SET EVERY SINCE. THE ROAD WAS SMOOTH AND I WAS APPROACHING A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS ON ROUTE 3.

TRANSMISSION RECALL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPS/AND JERKS THROUGH GEARS
I HAVE TWO HONDAS 2010 (80000) AND ANOTHER ONE IS 2003 (87000) MILES. BOTH HAVE SAME PROBLEM OF A LEAK IN ENGINE OIL. ONE HONDA (2010) HAD A CAMPAIGN SO IT WAS FIXED AS PART OF RECALL. OTHER HONDA (2003) DID NOT HAVE CAMPAIGN SO HONDA IS NOT OFFERING THE FIX FOR MANUFACTURING DEFECT RELATED PROBLEM. THIS DEFECT IS DUE TO THE INCORRECT OIL SEAL USED IN THE HONDA AND THEY ARE NOT FIXING AND CREATING THE RISK FOR DRIVERS.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
