2008 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL WAS COMPLETED INCORRECTLY. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.*JS

2008 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE TROUBLE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE ACTUATOR WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER FAILED TO PROPERLY NOTIFY THE CONSUMER OR REMEDY THE FAILURE. *JS

THERE IS A SHARP METAL EDGE THAT I ASSUME IS PART OF THE INTERNAL SEAT FRAME THAT HAS SLICED THROUGH THE SEAT FOAM AND THE SEAT FABRIC ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT AND PRESSES AGAINST THE BODY OF THE DRIVER. NO INJURIES HAVE OCCURED YET, BUT I DON'T RELISH THE THOUGHT OF THIS BEING SHOVED INTO MY SHOULDER BLADE IF I WERE TO GET HIT FROM BEHIND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR. WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE PAST 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WATET LEAKING ON THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG

THE TAKATA AIRBAGS DON'T WORK WELL AND ALSO THE BRAKE DOESN'T WORK WELL SOMETIMES

SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN, OBSCURING VISION. BOUGHT CAR BRAND NEW, VISOR STARTED FALLING DOWN WITHIN FIRST 4 MONTHS OF OWNING. REPEATEDLY REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP, WAS ALWAYS BLOWN-OFF AS "THAT'S NOT COVERED AND NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT". HAVE INQUIRED AT DIFFERENT DEALERS; UNABLE TO GET RECTIFIED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER ALSO BLEW ME OFF WHEN I KEPT REPORTING TO THEM SOMETHING WAS WRONG W/BRAKES, FROM DAY ONE --AS WELL AS I REPEATEDLY TRIED TO GET THEM TO EXPLAIN AND ADDRESS WHY MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT GOING OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY FROM DAY ONE. BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES TURNED INTO RECALLS! BUT STILL CANNOT GET ANYONE TO LISTEN TO ME THAT THE SUNVISOR CONSTANTLY FALLING- AGAIN, FROM ALMOST DAY ONE - IS IN FACT, A SAFETY ISSUE, OR EVEN GET THEM TO FIX THIS!

NOSE MASK RECALL JW9

LIGHT WAS TURNING ON OFF WHEN TURN ON STREET. LIGHTON SEAT BELT WAS ALSO DOING THE SAME THING. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER.THEY SAID IT WAS THE AIRBAG DOING ALL THE PROBLEM . SO THEY EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM SO THEY CHANGE IT ON TIME BEFORE ANY OTHER SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN.

'TAKEDA RECALL' I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO HONDA BUENA PARK IN BUENA PARK, CA FOR THIS RECALL, AND I'M JUST FINDING OUT THAT THE RECALL IS STILL ACTIVE.

2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6. ENGINE FAILURE. HEADING HOME AND CAR CUT OFF. PULLED OVER AND CALLED MY MECHANIC FOR A TOW TO HIS SHOP. HIS DIAGNOSIS WAS ENGINE FAILURE AND HE STATED A NEW ENGINE IS THE ONLY FIX. MY MECHANIC RUNS A SMALL SHOP IN A SMALL TOWN AND HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS. HE RECOMMENDED SELLING THE CAR FOR SCRAP RATHER THAN INVESTING IN THE NEW ENGINE. I WAS UPSET. THIS IS A NICE CAR AND IS QUITE CLEAN. BUT DURING MY FIVE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP I HAVE ADDED OIL EVERY WEEK TO KEEP IT TOPPED OFF. SPARK PLUGS FOULED OFTEN ENOUGH TO CARRY EXTRAS IN THE TRUNK ALONG WITH A RATCHET AND SOCKET. WHEN THEY FOULED I WOULD PULL OVER, CHANGE THEM AND GO ON MY WAY. I STILL OWN THE CAR. BUT IT IS HAS TOO MANY MILES AND IS TOO OLD FOR INCLUSION INTO THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT. THIS ISN'T RIGHT AND IT'S THE FIRST AND LAST HONDA I WILL EVER OWN.

TAKATA RECALL SOMETIMES MY SIDEAIRBAG SIGNAL BLINKS AND WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PADDLE HARDLY IT SOUNDS LIKE ROUGH AND ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN I TOUCH THE DOOR I FEEL LITTLE BIT ELECTRIC SHOCK.

TAKATA RECALL AND SRS SAFETY WENT TO THE AUTOAIRBAGSETTLEMENT.COM WEBSITE AND UNABLE TO FIND ANY LINKS TO FILE A CLAIM ONLINE, THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT STILL WANT T BE A PART OF IT. THE OTHER RECALL STILL HAS NO REMEDY AT THIS TIME AND JUDGING FROM THE TEXT ON NHTSA RECALL #16V-056 IT SOUNDS SERIOUS. PLEASE HELP ME TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THANKS,

MY DAUGHTERS CAR WAS PARKED AND RUNNING WHEN HER FRIEND CLOSED THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I CONTACTED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE SIDE CURTAIN SYSTEM BUT THERE WAS FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG(TAKATA). RECALL #16V-056

TAKATA RECALL

SEATBELT LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ON WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN PASSENGERS ARE IN THE FRONT AND BACK SEATS OF THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHT REMAINS RED, WHICH MEANS SOMETHING IS WRONG. I TRAVEL A LOT WITH GRANDCHILDREN IN CAR SEATS. THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL TAKATA AIRBAG NOTIFICATIONS TO TAKE MY CARE IN TO SERVICE THE RECALL R21. THE SAME RECALL FOR MY CAR IS LISTED WHEN I ENTER MY AUTO VIN IN THE WWW.NHTSA.GOV/RECALLS. ALSO, MY 2008 YEAR CAR TYPE IS NOT LISTED IN THE WWW.NYTIMES.COM/INTERACTIVE/2015/06/22/BUSINESS/INTERNATIONAL/TAKATA-AIRBAG-RECALL-LIST.HTM LIST OF CARS NEEDING THE RECALL. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TYPE OF CAR IS NOT APPLICABLE. I AM CONFLICTED SINCE I AM RECEIVING THESE NOTICES AND THIS RECALL IS LISTED IN THE NHTSA WEBSITE. PLEASE ADVISE IF MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD CAR SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT HAVE THE R21 RECALL FIX? IF I SHOULD PLEASE ADVISE WHAT I NEED TO DO SINCE THE HONDA ACCORD SERVICE STATE I DO NOT HAVE THE CAR THAT NEEDS THE RECALL FIX.

'TAKATA RECALL' I HAD GOTTEN INTO AN COLLISION INVOLVING A DEER ON 10/26/2016. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHEN I STRUCK THIS ROUGHLY 110 POUND DEER. THE IMPACT WAS ON MY FRONT BUMPER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET REPAIRED I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO GO WITH MY INSURANCE'S GEICO EXPRESS FACILITY SINCE ALL THE SHOPS WERE FULL FROM HAIL DAMAGE VEHICLES. IN THE ESTIMATE AND ON THE REPAIR ORDER I RECEIVED FROM GEICO AND AMM COLLISION. MY VEHICLE NEVER HAD THE WORK DONE TO THE STRUCTURE UNTILL 2 MONTHS AGO. IT STATED THAT THERE WERE 3 STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS THAT WERE WORKED ON. THE RIGHT RAIL ASSEMBLY 4 HOURS OR REPAIR TIME 60810TA5A00ZZ (WHERE FRONT AND REAR PANELS CONNECT, HEAVY BUCKLE), THE LEFT INNER PANEL 3.6 HOURS REPAIR TIME 04695TA0A00ZZ(ROLLED WITH PUTTER PANEL, INCLUDES TIME FOR BRACKETS AT THE TOP OF FRAME), AND THE RIGHT FRONT PANEL (CRUSHED,COST EFFECTIVE TO REPLACE)60659TA5A50ZZ. MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR ONLY 2 BUSINESS DAYS BUT SOME HOW PUT 41 HOURS WORTH OF LABOR INTO MY CAR. I HAD GOTTEN INTO ANOTHER HIT AND RUN ON 9/20/17 WHERE MY SIDE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I TOOK IT BACK TO AMM COLLISION WHERE GEICO TRIED TO TOTAL OUT MY VEHICLE, FALSIFY PAPERWORK BY TAKING OFF COMPONANTS(TRANSMISSION), UNDERVALUE THEN RETAIN MY VEHICLE. WHEN I DROPPED MY VEHICLE OFF BACK WITH AMM COLLISION I HAD TAKEN PICTURES OF PATCHES OF RUST ON STRUCTURE COMPONANTS AND BROKEN TACK WELDS. STILL TODAY I HAVE BROKEN WELDS IN MY CAR. BUT THE MAJOR CONCERN WA

MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS CURRENTLY NOT UNDER RECALL, HOWEVER EVERY OTHER AIRBAG IN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED. THEREFORE I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS SAFE. I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A NOTICE OF IMPENDING BANKRUPTCY RE TAKATA. DO I HAVE RECOURSE FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR A VEHICLE CURRENTLY IN USE, GIVEN THAT THE AIRBAG MAY BE DEFECTIVE, AND THE COMPANY IS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS?

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. THE ENGINE OIL IS BURNING WAY TOO FAST AND THE ENGINE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY ARE SAYING ITS A OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE.

IN DECEMEBER 20012 I WAS IN BAD ACCIDENT THE WAS NOT A FAULT OF MINE. MY CAR WAS STRUCK TWICE ON DIVER SIDE. I WAS DRIVING HOME I RECEIVED A FRACTURE WRIST AND TWO FINGERS. MY ARM WAS BURNED FROM FROM THE AIR BAG. I STILL HAVE SCAR AND I STILL HAVE TO WEAR MY WRIST BRACE FROM TIME TO TIME. AT THE TIME I WAS CLEAR THAT THEY HAD A RECALL ON AIR BAGS UNTIL I PLACED MY INFO IN TO THE SITE. I DO HAVE PICTURES I JUST HAVE TO FIND THEM OR CONTACT MY ATTORNEY WHO HANDLE MY ACCIDENT CASE.

TERRIBLE GAS MILAGE AND MASSIVE OIL BURNING. TOOK IT INTO O'HARE HONDA WHO REPLACED 2 OIL PRESSURE SWITCHES AFTER THEY UPDATED THE VCM SOFTWARE. I ALSO HAD OIL CONSUMPTION MONITORING DONE AND WAS TOLD MY CAR DOESN'T BURN ENOUGH OIL. IT WAS MONITORED TO BURN 9/10THS A QUART FOR EVERY 1000 MILES AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED TO BURN AT LEAST A FULL QUART FOR EVERY 1000 MILES FOR HONDA TO OFFER AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. FOR THE LAST 2 TO 3 YEARS I HAVE BEEN ADDING 2-3 QUARTS EVERY OIL CHANGE AND I USED TO GET 4000-6000 MILES PER OIL CHANGE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED (CPO). WHILE UNDER WARRANTY I MADE CLAIMS TO HONDA AND THEY WOULD TELL ME I AM USING THE WRONG OIL. THE DEALER VALLEY HONDA WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO PUT THE SAME QUALITY OIL INTO THE CAR AS THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY SERVICED BY THEM AND THE ONLY OIL TO PUT IN THE CAR WAS FULL SYNTHETIC 0W20 AND THAT IS ALL IT HAS EVER HAD. PLEASE NOTE OIL CHANGES EVERY 4K TO 6K MILES AT 80 DOLLARS EACH SEEMED GOOD, BUT NOW IT'S EVERY 2K TO 3K MILES AT THE SAME PRICE NOT TO INCLUDE THE ADDITIONAL QUARTS AT 10 DOLLARS EACH COSTING ME AN ADDITIONAL 20 TO 30 DOLLARS EACH OIL CHANGE AND I AM AVERAGING 13 TO 17 MILES PER GALLON CITY/HIGHWAY COMBINED A FAR CRY FROM THE ORIGINAL 19 TO 29 MILES PER GALLON PREVIOUSLY ACHIEVED AS PROMISED. ALL SERVICES DONE TO THE VEHICLE INCLUDE: TIMING BELT REPLACED, OIL PRESSURE SWITCHES REPLACED, FLUID SERVICED AND FLUSHED;

I HAD TO CRASHES AND NOONE OF THE TWO ACCIDENTS THE AIR BAGS CAME OUT THE SUPENSION DONT KNOW WHAT ITSACTALY HAPPEN ITS REALLY DAMAGE.AND ALSO THE BRAKES OF THE CAR

I HEAR A GRINDING SOUND EVERY TIME I BRAKE. I SAW THAT HONDA SETTLE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING REPLACING OR REIMBURSING FOR BRAKE PADS THAT WORE OUT TWICE AS FAST. BUT I CALLED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED BY THIS. I HAVE A PROXIMATELY 54,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. SECONDLY, MY VEHICLE VIBRATES OR SHAKES A BIT AT HIGHER SPEEDS OF 65 MPH AND ABOVE ON THE HIGHWAY. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM OR SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA. FINALLY, I DEVELOP BACKACHES DUE TO THE DISCOMFORT OF THE SEATS WHICH I SUSPECT ARE NOT CORRECTLY OR ERGONOMICALLY DESIGNED. AFTER ABOUT 30 TO 40 MINUTES OF DRIVING I EXPERIENCE LOWER BACK PAIN WHICH I NORMALLY NEVER HAVE. THIS DISSUADES ME FROM DRIVING FOR MUCH LONGER DISTANCES AS I REMAIN STIFF AND NEED TO REST IN ORDER TO RECOVER FROM THE BACK PAIN AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

DEFECTIVE VTC ACTUAFTOR. HONDA & DEALER KNEW BY 2011 THAT THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE AND DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED, AND SHOULD HAVE RECALLED IT. NOW, IN SPITE OF BEING "OUT OF WARRANTY," THEY SHOULD REPLACE OR REIMBURSE. I DID REPLACE AND AM SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT, SO FAR DENIED.

THE VTC ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS NOT MERELY DEFECTIVE, BUT WAS A DESIGN DEFECT, FOR WHICH THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS FOR OTHER/LATER MODELS YEARS. I CONFIRMED THIS WITH A GOOGLE SEARCH. I WAS TOLD THAT, WERE THE PART NOT REPLACED, THE DAMAGE COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. COST - OVER $600. I COMPLAINED TO HONDA OF AMERICA, AND SOUGHT REIMBURSEMENT. THEY DENIED IT, SAYING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. CAR HAS ABOUT 88,000 MILES AND WARRANTY WAS FOR 5 YEARS AND 30,000 MILES. HOWEVER, HONDA OF AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE SAID HE WOULD SUE HONDA IF IT WERE HIM. I SHOULD RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT, AND THERE SHOULD BE RECALL ON THIS PART.

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AFTER CHILD EXITED VEHICLE AND CLOSED DOOR. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND RUNNING. CHILD CLOSED DOOR WITH MORE FORCE THAN NORMAL.

2008 HONDA ACCORD ISSUES, SPARK PLUGS, BATTERY LIGHT, AND TRACTION LIGHT INDICATOR TURN ON AND ENGINE PULSATES AND STUTTERS, DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAIL BEFORE 50K IN BOTH DRIVER DOOR AND REAR DRIVER SIDE. BRAKE ROTORS ARE WORN DOWN VERY EASILY AND REAR PAD WEAR DOWN FASTER THAN FRONT WITH UNEVEN WEAR.

THE FRONT HEADRESTS ARE UNBEARABLY UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE THEY STICK SO FAR FORWARD THAT THEY GIVE YOU A NECK ACHE. WE HAD TO TURN OURS AROUND IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO STAND DRIVING THE CAR OR BEING A PASSENGER. ALSO, THE POWER ADJUSTABLE SEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS DESIGNED SO THAT YOU CAN'T ADJUST THE FRONT OF THE SEAT LOW ENOUGH TO TAKE PRESSURE OFF THE BACK OF YOUR THIGHS. THE SEAT PADDING ALSO COMES UP TOO MUCH ON EACH SIDE OF YOUR BODY CAUSING HIP PAIN. IN ORDER TO TRY AND BE COMFORTABLE YOU HAVE TO TRY AND PUT THE SEAT BACK, BUT THE BACK OF THE SEAT IS POORLY DESIGNED TOO. THERE'S JUST NO COMFORTABLE POSITION WITH THIS SEAT!!!!!!! THIS SEAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND ANOTHER MORE COMFORTABLE ONE INSTALLED INSTEAD...BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. MY 1999 ACCORD HAS A SUPER COMFORTABLE SEAT AND HEAD REST...WHY DID THEY DO SUCH A BAD THING IN CHANGING THE DESIGN SO DRASTICALLY. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS..IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT ONLY FOR THAT REASON. OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S A REALLY NICE MODEL. SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV EXCESSIVELY AND THE VEHICLE JERKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

"TAKATA RECALL" - HONDA MAILED A NOTICE OF AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL TO HAVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED. THE LETTER STATES THAT IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES TO HAVE THIS REPAIR PERFORMED; HOWEVER, MY NEAREST HONDA DEALER STATED THIS REPAIR WOULD TAKE 5-6 HOURS. OWNERS ARE THEN FORCED TO FIND MEANS TO PERFORM THEIR DAILY COMMUTE WITHOUT THEIR VEHICLE, WHICH SHOULD NOT BE THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FINANCE.

TAKATA RECALL - HONDA SENT A NOTICE INDICATING THAT THE PASSANGER AIRBAG RECALL REPAIR WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES TO COMPLETE. LOCAL DEALERSHIPS ARE STATING THE REPAIR TAKES 5-6 HOURS. HONDA IS NOT OFFERING OWNERS ANY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORATION (I.E. RENTAL VEHICLES). BBB HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FILED BY FRUSTRATED CUSTOMERS TO THIS END. HONDA NEEDS TO INCUR ALL REASONABLE EXPENSES TO MAKE THESE VEHICLES SAFE FOR CONSUMERS.

FROM READING ONLINE, IT APPEARS I'M ONE OF MANY WHO HAVE A VTC ACTUATOR ISSUE. HONDA SERVICE PEOPLE NEVER KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN A BULLETIN 09-010 FROM HONDA. ENGINE HAS LOUD COUGH SOUND UPON STARTING THE CAR, AFTER BEING OFF FOR 6 HOURS OR SO. THIS SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL & CUSTOMERS SHOULDN'T BE CHARGED FOR THIS BUT THAT'S OBVIOUSLY WHAT THEY WANT TO DO TO US.
