AIR BAGS:FRONTAL |
WHILE PARKING MY CAR IN MY GARAGE, I HAD PUT IT IN PARK AND TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN LUNGED FORWARD HITTING MY DRYWALL, SOLAR WATER HEATER, WASHER AND DRYER THEN IT JUMPED BACK AND STOPPED. I WAS SO STUNNED AS I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE. INSTANTLY THE CAR DECIDED TO GO IN REVERSE AT AN ACCELERATED RATE DOWN THE HILL OF MY DRIVEWAY HITTING THE CONCRETE SIDE OF MY NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE, THEIR CAR AND BOUNCED FORWARD UP THE HILL TO HIT MY HOUSE AGAIN AND STOPPED AT THE CREST OF THE HILL. THE CAR IS TOTALED. STATE FARM INSURANCE HIRED AN INVESTIGATOR SEA THAT DECIDED THAT THERE ARE NO DEFICIENCIES YET THEY FAILED TO LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, POWERTRAIN ONLY REVIEWED THE BRAKES, TIRES, THROTTLE. CAN YOU HELP ME. AFTER REVIEWING AN ARTICLE OF THE TOYOTAS AND HOW THEY AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE GONE TO A NEW ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE WHICH HAS RESULTED IN THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM, I ACCELERATED AS MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME AND THE SHIFT GEAR WAS IN PARK. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER . POSSIBLE NEW RECALL. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER INCIDENTS LISTED ON THE HONDA MALFUNCTIONS COMPLAINT PAGE UNDER 2007 HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS, CARS BEING TOTALED AND WHAT RECOURSE DO WE HAVE AS CONSUMERS? OBVIOUSLY STATE FARM ISN'T GOING TO PURSUE IT WITH HONDA JUST CHARGE TO ME AS AN ACCIDENT AND PROBABLY DROP ME AND RAISE MY RATES SKY HIGH. I NEED HELP ON HOW TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER. $10,000 DAMAGE TO MY HOUSE, CAR TOTALED @ $18,000+, AND $19,000+ DAMAGE TO MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. LUCKILY NO CHILDREN WERE OUT AND NO DEATHS OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS. THE ONLY AIR BAG THAT DEPLOYED WERE THE SIDE CURTAINS NOT THE DRIVER'S SIDE EITHER. *TR |

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION |
II HAVE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 2003 HONDA ACCORD XE SEDANV6. IN 2005 I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA ENCOURAGING OWNERS TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AS MY MODEL CAR MAY HAVE HAD A TRANSMISSION DEFECT. I DID BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION AND DID NOT FOUND ANY PROBLEMS. ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 13, 2009 WHILE DRIVING, MY VEHICLE STOPPED RESPONDING. IT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SKIPPING GEARS. IT CONTINUED TO BEHAVE IN THE SAME MANNER UNTIL IT WENT TO A SUDDEN STOP. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER AND REQUESTED SERVICE. AS I WAS TRYING TO GET A TOW TRUCK AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TURN-ON THE ENGINE TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE RESPOND. IT DID AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AS I WAS ONLY ABOUT A MILE FORM IT. TODAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER LETTING ME KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I MENTIONED THEM OF THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THAT THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED RECALL, FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TRANSMISSION (IF REPLACED) AND THE SERVICES. I AGREED TO IT BECAUSE ANYWAY IT HAS TO BE FIXED AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE (I HAVE ONLY ONE MORE PAYMENT TO MAKE). AFTER I GOT HOME I LOG ON TO YOUR SITE TO SEE IF THE RECALL WAS IN THE SYSTEM. IT WAS AND TO MY SURPRISE THE RECALL FAIRLY DESCRIBES WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS NOT A BAD EXPERIENCE AS I WAS INSIDE A MILITARY BASE AREA WHERE THE MAX SPEED WAS ONLY 15 MPH. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM FALLS WITHIN THE CATEGORY DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL AND THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. WHAT CAN BE DONE IF ANYTHING? *TR |
