WHILE DRIVING THE LOW BEAM EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS GO DARK LEAVING THE HIGH BEAMS OPERABLE. I CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND AM BEING TOLD THAT IT WAS FIXED BACK IN 2004 AND IN THE SAME BREATH ALSO I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. THEN I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE A DIAGNOSES DONE WHEN THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS OR SO BUT AS IT IS THE HIGH BEAMS WERE OPERABLE AND I DIDN'T BOTHER TOO MUCH UNTIL NOW. I WAS GOING FOR AN INSPECTION AND AS THE VEHICLE IS BEING TESTED FOR INSPECTION THE LOW BEAMS WOULD GO ON AND OFF AND NOT STAY LIT AS DESIGNED FAILING INSPECTION. AFTER THIS IS WHEN I CONTACTED HONDA KNOWING THERE WAS SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. SO NOW WHAT DO I DO?

"TAKATA RECALL" - I HAVE GONE TO TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE MY AIRBAGES REPLACE AND BOTH DEALS HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CIVIC TO OURISMAN'S HONDA OF LAUREL ON 10/18/14 AND 10/27/14. I CONTINUED TO CALL AND TAKE MY CAR TO BE SERVICE AT THAT LOCATION ABOUT FOUR MONTHS BEFORE TAKING MY CAR TO POHANKA HONDA CAPTIOL HEIGHTS. MY FIRST INQUIRE ABOUT THE AIRBAGS WAS ON 2/20/15. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. IT'S BEE OVER YEAR AND NO ONE HAS REPLACE THE AIRBAGS OR CONTACTED ME TO BRING MY CALL IN. I CALL POHANKA HONDA TODAY (8/16/16 @ 6:35) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGE FOR MY VIN. HOWEVER, THE PAPERWORK DATED 2/20/16 INDICATES THAT AIRBAGE REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COMPLETED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY ITS BEEN OVER AN YEAR AND NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME TO REPLACE MY AIRBAGS.

HAD AN ACCIDENT ON THE WAY TO WORK. HIT A CAR STRAIGHT ON IN THE BACK. I WAS IN MOTION. MY FRONT END WAS TOTALLY SMASHED IN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND NO ONE WAS IN THAT SEAT AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. I AM NOW SUFFERING SUBSTANTIAL PAIN AND BRUISES ACROSS MY CHEST, RIGHT BREAST AND ACROSS MY ENTIRE LOWER ABDOMEN. YES, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE OR EVEN FATAL, BUT I'M BLESSED TO HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM THIS. I LOVE MY HONDA AND BEEN A HONDA OWNER SINCE ABOUT 2003. I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS NOW. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN CAN I TRUST THAT THE NEXT CAR WILL DO THE JOB THAT IT WAS MEANT TO DO AS FAR AS THE AIR BAG IS CONCERNED I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TWICE TO HAVE IT SERVICED FOR THE TAKATA RECALLS. I ALSO WILL ADD THAT I GET MY SERVICE DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH AN ACTUAL HONDA DEALER EVEN THOUGH MY CARE IS A 2002. CHECK THE RECORDS IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, THE RECALLS WERE FOR DEFECTED INFLATION, NOT BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T DEPLOY AT ALL. MY QUESTION IS WHY DID MY AIRBAG NOT DO THE JOB THAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO?

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND WAS ENTERING A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHEN THE RPMS REVED UP TO APPROXIMATELY 4000 AND I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE AND THIS ALL HAPPENED WITH A SUDDEN JERK. I THEN PUSHED MY GEAR SHIFTIER (CAR IS AUTOMATIC) INTO NEUTRAL THEN BACK INTO DRIVE WHILE TRYING TO AVOID CARS IN THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR FINALLY ENGAGED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A NEARBY GAS STATION. I HAD TO SIT IN THE GAS STATION WITH THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD DRIVE HOME. ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING AND ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS PRETTY SURE IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND COULDN'T CALL THE MECHANIC TILL THE NEXT MORNING BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED ON A SUNDAY EVENING AND SHOPS WERE NOT OPEN. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT IN THE NEXT MORNING TO A MECHANIC WHO OF WHICH EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE WHILE TEST DRIVING MY VEHICLE UNFORTUNATELY WITH MY VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION IS ENCASED AND HE GAVE ME THE NUMBER FOR A HONDA TRANSMISSION SHOP. UPON SPEAKING TO THE HONDA SPECIALIST HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REBUILT FOR THE CAR TO BE SALVAGEABLE. WHEN ASKED HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST I WAS TOLD 2550 PLUS STATE TAXES. UPON CALLING HONDA I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IN COVERING THE COST EVEN THOUGH ITS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THEIR VEHICLES AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR MY KIDS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.
