TANAKA AIRBAGS

MY CAR'S SUNROOF EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS DRIVING ON AN UNCOVERED STRETCH OF HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60-65 MPH, AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD BANG ON MY ROOF, FOLLOWED BY WHAT SOUNDED LIKE GRAVEL BEING DUMPED ON MY CAR. A FEW MINUTES LATER, I OPENED THE SUNROOF SHADE AND SAW THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO CARS OR TRUCKS IN FRONT OR ALONG SIDE MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED - SO IT WASN'T DUE TO GRAVEL SPUN UP BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WASN'T ANYWHERE NEAR AN OVERPASS - SO THERE'S NO CHANCE SOMETHING WAS DUMPED ON MY CAR. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 74 DEGREES - SO NO EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE SUN.

TAKATA RECALL HONDA DEALER REFUSE TO SPEAK WITH ME ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT OF A RECALL. THE FARTHEST I HAVE EVER GOTTEN WAS THROUGH THEIR RECEPTIONIST AND THEN NO NEWS. I HAVE TRIED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND MULTIPLE TIMES TO CONTACT THEM

MY ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, EVEN THO I CHANGED MY OIL ON TIME EVERY TIME. THERE WAS A LAWSUIT IN 2013, BUT HONDA SAID I DIDN'T QUALIFY TO GET MY ENGINE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS VIN # SPECIFIC AND STATE SPECIFIC. WHICH IS CRAP. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA. QUALITY HAS WENT WAY DOWN..

THE VTC VALVE DOES NOT GIVE THE PROPER OIL PRESSURE RESULTING IN LOUD NOISES AND RATTLES. OIL PRESSURES IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF SAFE ENGINE OPERATION. FROM OUR RESEARCH NUMEROUS HONDAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

TAKATA RECALL, I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO AUTOMATICALLY GO OFF, THAT'S SCARY, AND IT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TAKATA AT NO COST TO MYSELF. UNETHICAL, UNSAFE, AND A DANGER TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL!

AIRBAG SETTLEMENT RECALL

ELECTRONIC STABILITY SENSOR COMES ON, VEHICLE SHUTS OFF/LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING. ONCE OFF, THERE'S A PERIOD OF ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE IT CAN COME BACK ON.

TAKATA AIRBAGS I CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES LAST YEAR AND TWO YEARS AGO BECAUSE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD KEEP COMING ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT TO SET OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I COMPLAINED IN PERSON AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP OF LISLE TO A RAY UNDERWOOD. RAY CLAIMED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO MY VEHICLE UNTIL I PAID A MINIMUM $100 TESTING FEE. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT WHO DOESNT HAVE ALOT OF EXTRA INCOME SO I WAS UNABLE TO PAY FOR THE FEE. I ARGUED THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE DO TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE CLAIM CONSIDERING I HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE ALL THE TIME AND I WOULD NEVER WANT TO PUT THEM IN HARMS WAY. RAY AGAIN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE FEE. NOW ABOUT 2 YEARS LATER I RECEIVED 2 LETTERS IN THE MAIL ABOUT MY VEHICLE HAVING DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS! ARE YOU PEOPLE IGNORANT, INCOMPETENT, STUPID OR ALL 3? I AM CURRENTLY GIVING ALL DOCUMENTATION TO MY LAWYER FOR FURTHER ACTION. I WANT HONDA OF LISLE REPORTED TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AS WELL AS THEIR GENERAL MANAGER KEN UNDERWOOD. THIS IS A SHADY WAY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DO TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE AS WELL AS TAKATA'S NEGLIGENCE.

"6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR" WHEN ACCELERATING AT A SLOW TO MODERATE PACE, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENTER 3RD GEAR WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND GEAR. THE PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY AND IS THEREFORE A DANGER TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. HONDA 3RD GEAR TSB ON 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. FOR A THOROUGH DESCRIPTION OF THIS ISSUE AS DESCRIBED BY ANOTHER PLEASE VISIT: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=5V_J9CT2JRQ

I BOUGHT CAR CPO AND REAR PADS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE NEW. A YEAR LATER, I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY REAR BRAKE PADS (HIGH PITCH NOISE, BURNT SMELL). TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $160.00 FOR CLEANING AND LUBRICATING. A MONTH AND A HALF LATER - THE SAME PROBLEM APPEARS AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. I WAS CHARGED $220 FOR CLEANING, LUBRICATING AND NEW BRAKE PADS REPLACEMENT. TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATER, STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN. RUSTED REAR ROTORS, 20% LEFT OF THE REAR PADS. ALL NEEDS A REPLACEMENT - $350.00 BILL. I HAD PUT A LITTLE LESS THAN 20K MILES FOR THE PAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS. FRONT BRAKES HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE AND ARE STILL USABLE. IT APPEARS THAT I AM NOT ALONE AND A LOT OF OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL REPORT THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO ACKNOWLEDGE BAD DESIGN AND REPLACE IT IN THE VEHICLE ALTOGETHER.

HONDA ACCORD 2009 - CURRENTLY 62K MILES. ENGINE RATTLES ON START UP AND ALSO ON ACCELERATION. CONTACTED HONDA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE SPORADIC FLASHING OIL LIGHT AND RATTLING NOISE. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED NO LEAKING OIL, BUT THERE WAS OIL CONSUMPTION. NOW INVOLVED WITH A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T REPLICATE THE RATTLING NOISE. WE NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE FROM HONDA ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT OIL CONSUMPTION. CURRENTLY 1K MILES INTO THE CONSUMPTION TEST AND WE ARE HALFWAY TO THE LOWER MARK ON THE DIPSTICK. UPDATED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE STATUS AND WAS TOLD NOT TO BRING IT BACK UNTIL IT WAS AT THE LOWER MARK ON THE DIPSTICK. CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE THE RATTLING NOISE, WHICH NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS ADVISING US THAT IS A SEPARATE ISSUE. CURRENTLY STILL COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT A TEST HAS TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN AFFECT WITHOUT ANY TESTING, SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY INSTEAD OF WAITING AROUND UNTIL SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR MORE DAMAGE IS DONE TO THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED FOR EVERY CAR THAT WAS LISTED IN THAT BULLETIN.

COMPLAINT INVOLVING WEBASTO AFTERMARKET RETRACTABLE SUNROOF. WHILE DRIVING INTO WORK ON 7 SEPTEMBER, 2017, ON A HIGHWAT, I CLOSED THE SUNROOF AND WHEN IT CLOSED I HEARD A LOUD POP AND LOOKED UP AND THE SUNROOF WAS GONE. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND OBSERVED A BLACK CAR TWO CARS BEHIND ME MAKING EMERGENCY MANEUVERING INTO OTHER LANE APPEARING TO AVOID SOMETHING. I PULLED OVER AND OBSERVED NO OTHER VEHICLES DOING THE SAME MOVEMENTS AND NO ACCIDENTS. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE STATE POLICE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2009, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE SUNROOF INSTALLED PRIOR TO PURCHASING AND PICKUP OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND THE SUNROOF WAS COVERED IN THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REFERRED ME TO THEIR INSTALLER WHO INFORMED ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME MODELS. WHEN I CONTACTED THE COMPANY I LEARNED THAT MY SUNROOF WAS PART OF A RECALL ISSUED IN 2010, AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS. THAT SUNROOF COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE THAT DAY. THE NEXT EVENING WHEN DRIVING THE RETRACTABLE INTERIOR COVER BLEW OUT AND THE METAL SUNROOF FRAME CAME APART AND METAL RODS CAME FLYING INTO THE DRIVER COMPARTMENTS DANGLING AND SWINGING. WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO THE COMPANY, THE REPRESENTATIVE APOLOGIZED AND STATED THAT HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME HOW TO SECURE THE INTERIOR COVER. THAT THIS RECALL IS 7 YEARS OLD AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED IN INEXCUSABLE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICES AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS, AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED ON THIS RECALL. SO

WELL BEFORE HONDA CARS WAS MY TOP PRYORITY CARS. BUT UNFORTUNATLLY 5 MONTH AGO I BOUGHT A CAR IN A DILLER CALL APEX IN FREMONT CA . AND AFTER THE FIRST WEEK USING THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & 45 MINUTES LATER ANOTHER 2 LIGHTS CAME ON TOTAL 3 LIGHTS CAME ON MY CAR (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ) ( VSA ) & LAST ONE IS A TRIANGLE SIGNAL WITH THIS LETTER INSIDE /!\ I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DILLER ALREADY ABOUT 5 TIMES & THE PROBLEM STEEL ON MY CAR AFTER THAT I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DILLER AND THEY CHARGE ME $ 180.00 TO FIX ME THE PROBLEM THEY PROMESS ME THE CAR WAS FIXED & 30 DAYS LATER LIGHTS CAME BACK AGAING I TOOK IT BACK TO THE HONDA DILLER BECAUSE THEY SAID IF THE PROBLEM CAME BACK THEY SUPOST TO FIX ME THE CAR FOR FREE AND UNFORTUNATLY THEY CHARGE ME $ 375.00 FOR LABOR AND $ 185.00 FOR THE PART BUT ANOTHER 3 WEEKS LATER THE PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS CAME BACK AGAING AND THE WORST THING IS THE CAR IS NO'T AVAILABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE WHEN THAT LIGHTS ARE ON THE CAR DOESN'T RUN FASTER THAN 30 MILLES FOR HOURLY. & HONESTLY I M TIRED ALREADY BECAUSE I STEEL HAVE TO PAY ARROUND $ 11.000 FOR THE CAR TO THE DILLER BECAUSE I M STEEL WORKING MY CREDIT AND IF THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I PAY ALOT OF MONEY ALREADY TRYING TO FIX I M VERY DISAPOINT. & BECAUSE IF I GO TO THE HONDA DILLER THEY GO TO CHARGE ME ANOTHER MAY BE $500.00 O MORE. THANK S FOR THE OPORTUNITY FOR LETTING ME WRITTE THIS MESSAGE HERE.
