TAKATA RECALL - I OWN 2 HONDAS THAT ARE BOTH UNDER RECALL AT THE SAME TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE REQUESTED A RENTAL FROM HONDA DUE TO FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY PASSENGERS. THEY TOLD ME TO NOT LET SOMEONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHICH MEANS I CAN ONLY TRANSPORT 4 PEOPLE INSTEAD OF 5 THAT THE CAR IS SUPPOSE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT. I BOUGHT THIS AUTOMOBILE TO TRANSPORT 5 PEOPLE SAFELY. HONDA IS TELLING ME I CAN'T TRANSPORT 5 PEOPLE SAFELY UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. HONDA NEEDS TO PROVIDE ME WITH SAFE TRANSPORTATION FOR 5 PEOPLE UNTIL THEY CAN FIX THIS CAR TO TRANSPORT 5 PEOPLE SAFELY. MY COMPLIANT IS HONDA IS NOT PROVIDING ME WITH MY CAR OR ANOTHER CAR TO TRANSPORT 5 PEOPLE SAFELY WHICH IS WHAT I PURCHASED FROM THEM.

I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH HONDA ACCORDS AND HONDA CIVICS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HONDA WAS NO HELP WITH FIXING THE ISSUE OR KNOWING WHAT IS WRONG. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WONT WORK. ALSO, THIS CREATES MOLD IN THE CAR AND WONT BE EASY FOR THE OWNER TO SELL THE CAR. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL ON THE CARS. I HAVE A 2011 ACCORD COUPE V6. THEY WILL SAY MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AND WITHIN THE LAST YEAR THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AND I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS ANYTHING UNTIL I REALIZED IT WAS COMING THROUGH MY CAR WHEN IT RAINED OUTSIDE. PLEASE HELP!

WHEN IT RAINS THE WATER INTRUDES INSIDE, WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED TWICE AND THROUGH THE ROOT-CAUSE IT WAS FOND THAT THE SOURCE IS NOT WINDSHIELD. CLOGGING OF THE VINYL/PLASTIC TRIM PIECES THAT RUN ON THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE CAUSES THE ISSUE. NOW AT EVERY SINGLE RAIN OR SNOW, I CAN SEE THE CURTAIN AIRBAG IS SOAKED IN THE WATER. I AM SURE THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT WATERPROOF.

WHILE SLOWING IN TRAFFIC,AT A STOPLIGHT OR SIGN,MAKING A LEFT TURN, THERE IS A ACCELERATION GAP. THIS OCCURS WHEN I'M READY TO GO AND REACH SPEEDS UPWARD OF 15-40 MPH, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION.

NOW THAT I'VE READ THESE COMPLAINTS I SEE SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED RIGHT AWAY!

MY HONDA ACCORD 2 DOOR COUPE'S SUNROOF SHATTERED WITH NO EXPLANATION WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN A SMALL CITY HIGHWAY. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS MY LARGE REAR WINDOW BUT WHEN I LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING BEHIND ME I COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS MY SUNROOF. I DID NOT HAVE IT OPEN AND THERE WAS NO CAR OR TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME TO EXPLAIN THIS "EXPLODING SUNROOF". I WAS CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS APPROACHING BEHIND ME AND ALSO FOR MY SAFETY SO I PULLED OVER AND LEARNED THAT MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. I HAD TO GET TO WORK SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THIS WAS VERY SHOCKING AS I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH AND THE "EXPLOSION" COULD EASILY HAVE KILLED A DRIVER THAT MAY HAVE LESS "NERVES" OR HEALTH ISSUES THEN I, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL MY EMOTIONS AND PULL OVER SAFELY WITHOUT HURTING MYSELF OR ANYONE AS THERE WAS A CAR NEXT TO ME AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO PASS BY IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS A CONCERN FOR ME AS I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUNROOF TEMPERED GLASS IS COMING THINNER NOW IN ORDER TO MAKE THE AUTOMOBILE LIGHTER. THIS DEFINITELY HAS TO BE ADDRESSED AS I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ITEM THAT ARE BEING PUT IN AUTOMOBILES AND COULD POSSIBLY ENDANGER THE PASSENGERS AND OTHERS NEAR AN "EXPLODING" SUNROOF AUTOMOBILE AS GLASS WAS "FLYING" OUT AND MAY HAVE HURT ANYONE CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING THIS UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE SUCH AS MINE. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND EVEN IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN, I HATE TO THINK "WHAT IF" THEIR WINDOWS WERE OPEN AND SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING OUT FROM A CAR WITH A SHATTERING SUNROOF HIT THEIR EYES OR ANY PASSENGER OR EVEN A PEDESTRIAN THAT MAY HAVE BEEN NEAR THE CAR AS THE WIND WAS ALSO VERY STRONG THAT MORNING THAT THIS HAPPENED TO ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH ALL AUTOMOBILES WITH SUNROOFS. THOSE READING THIS SHOULD ALSO "GOOGLE" OR WATCH "YOUTUBES" ON EXPLODING SUNROOFS!!

I HAD AN SRS LIGHT ON AT 44000 MILES AND TOOK IT INTO HONDA, FIGURE IT WAS A SAFETY THING THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. HONDA WANTED TO CHARGE ME 100 DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I TOLD THEM NO. THEY THEN TOLD ME THEY WOULD TALK TO HONDA TO WAVE FEE. HONDA PAID FOR DIAGNOSTIC CAME BACK WITH CODE INDICATING CABLE REEL ISSUE. HONDA SAID IT WOULD BE 545 DOLLARS TO REPLACE AND IF IT DIDN'T GET REPLACED IT MAY CAUSE ISSUES WITH AIRBAG INFLATOR AND MAY NOT INFLATE IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I TOLD THEM THIS WAS A HONDA SAFETY PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE IT. THE NEWEST ROUND OF RECALLS WERE FOR ACCORDS 2008-2010. I GUESS I WILL JUST WAIT AROUND UNTIL MY CAR EVENTUALLY GETS RECALLED UNTIL THEN CROSS MY FINGERS I DON'T GET IN AN ACCIDENT.

ALSO, IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE IN THE BACK WHEN I GO OVER THE SPEED BUMP WHICH IS COMING FROM THE SUSPENSION. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NTB FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE REAR MAIN SEAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS STARTING TO LEAK MOTOR OIL.
