An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began August 12, 2019. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are Q5A and Y58.

The affected vehicles received a replacement driver air bag inflator as part of a previous Takata inflator recall remedy or a replacement driver air bag module containing the same inflator type as a service part.

An explosion of an inflator within the driver frontal air bag module may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver, front seat passenger or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's air bag inflator with an alternate inflator, free of charge. The recall began April 10, 2019.

The affected vehicles are equipped with a dual-stage driver frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion and other factors, including manufacturing variability that, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture.
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on July 1, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Owners may contact Acura customer service at 1-800-382-2238, select option 4. Note: Vehicles that have had their driver frontal air bag replaced previously as part of a recall remedy prior to September 12, 2014 need to have their air bag replaced under this recall as well. Vehicles that, on or after September 12, 2014, received a remedy for a prior driver frontal air bag inflator recall already received an inflator of a different design, and therefore are not included in this recall and do not require additional servicing. Note: This recall fully supersedes recalls 08V-593, 09V-259, 10V-041, 11V-260, 14V-351 and 15V-153. Honda's numbers for this recall are JQ9, JR0, JR1, JR2, JR3, JR4, JR5, JR6, JR7, and JR8.

Electrical system, Feb 1, 2024, fire
Car exploded spontaneously. Fire department thinks it started in the steering wheel/ignition area. Vehicle is still parked on the street and is available for inspection. No one was in or around the vehicle, but it seems if someone had been in the car they would certainly have been incinerated. Anyone in the street would have been struck by shrapnel. Only the fire department has seen the vehicle so far, to put the fire out. This happened last night (1/31/24) about 8:30 pm central time. This happened with no warning, car was parked and turned off - had just been driven 2 hours prior.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the vehicle independently accelerated without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle went over a concrete island with the engine revving and the vehicle accelerating. The contact turned the vehicle to the right and grazed a pole which stopped the vehicle. The contact sustained a knot under her right clavicle but did not seek medical attention. A Police report was filed. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.
Power train, Electrical system, Engine, Jun 24, 2023
The ignition system of the vehicle is faulty. The engine keeps stalling intermittently and the vehicle shuts down. The issue has been observed at both low and high speeds. The issue occurs on average once in two weeks. This issue has put our family's safety in jeopardy. We filed a complaint with Honda but they are not willing to help with addressing this issue. This issue has been a problem for several years with no restitution from Honda. We need to be compensated USD 2.5million for the stress and aggravation this issue has caused us and for putting our family's safety in jeopardy. Please help us by arranging for mediation services with Honda Motor Company of America. Thank you.

This morning, my neighbor came over to see if I heard my car alarm go off. I saw that part of the driver side where the door buttons are located were some what damaged. They must have been trying to open other doors, trunk or something else. I'm not sure how they were able to open the driver side door, maybe a crow bar what whatever else they use. I did not hear my car alarm go off. I checked my car for anything stolen, but didn't seem to find any thing missing. Will check it again. On another note, there was a night about a month ago where my neighbor heard gun shots outside my back door under the plum tree. Same side of location where my car is parked. Perhaps its the same people. This neighborhood is becoming dangerous. Thank YOU! [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I CHECKED THE CAR BY LEAVING IT IN DRIVE, TURNED OFF ENGINE AND REMOVED KEY - CAR THEN BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THIS IS WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. SINCE THE VIN NUMBERS DIDN'T MATCH WHAT HONDA DETERMINED TO BE FAULTY, THEY NOW SAY THAT IT ISN'T THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. I AM CONFUSED HOW THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SOME CARS BUT NOT OURS.

THE CAR LISTED WITH THIS COMPLAINT I BOUGHT NEW IN 2002 AND STILL HAVE IT TODAY. I AM NOT SURE OF THE DATES BUT WITHIN THREE TO FOUR YEARS OF HAVING THIS HONDA, THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RETURNED AN ERROR LIGHT. I FAITHFULLY SERVICE THIS VEHICLE ( KIRKWOOD AUTO CENTER WILMINGTON DE) AND WHEN THEY INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THAT EACH OF THE REPAIRS WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND WOULD BE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I WAS A SINGLE PARENT AT THE TIME AND LEARNED TO LIVE WITH NO DASHBOARD LIGHTING AT NIGHT AND HAD THE AIR BAGS DISABLED. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN THE CAR TO A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER (UNION PARK HONDA WILMINGTON DE) AND THEY ALSO CONFIRMED THAT NEITHER OF THOSE REPAIRS WAS COVERED OR THE PRODUCT OF A RECALL. I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WOULD BUY HONDAS FOREVER BUT I AM QUITE DISAPPOINTED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS 2002 ACCORD AND HOW IT FAILED SO SOON AFTER I PURCHASED IT WITH NO RECOURSE BUT TO PAY A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX THE ISSUES. EQUALLY UPSETTING IS ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH AIRBAGS THAT ARE BEING REPLACED YET MY CAR, WITH THE FAILED AIRBAG, WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID BY ME TO BE FUNCTIONAL. WHAT CAN HONDA DO FOR ME TO KEEP ME IN YOUR HONDA FAMILY? *TR
