2009 HONDA ACCORD Air Bags Problems

I was driving and stopped at a stop sign, I started to go and my passenger side airbag on the door exploded. There was no impact, out of nowhere this happened

Was in a vehicle collision to which no air bags deployed.

The Airbag light is on and off randomly. The vehicle was taken into Honda where they set up a procedure that they have specifically for Airbag issues due to so many recalls. They told us the passenger side airbag qualifies for replacement under a Honda extended warranty and service bulletin. When it comes to the drivers side Airbag, Honda refuses to fix it under the warranty. The specific issue as stated by a Honda tech is "a short to the Airbag Inflator causing the Airbag to be deemed useless". This is clearly a manufacturers defect, seeing how the exact same issue was the reason that the passenger side airbag was recalled. So with this information I don't understand how the consumer is being expected to pay for the replacement and the remedy. It should fall on Honda to resolve this issue and make right by every owner of a vehicle with a defective airbag inflator.

Traffic bumper to bumper as 5 pm, stop and go near traffic lights. Tapped suv ahead and despite very very slow speed and not even scratch on my 2009 HONDA ACCORD COUPE - THE DRIVERS AIR BAG DEPLOYED & Seatbelt locked up. Contacted HONDA CORPORATE where they opened case and promised “taking care of, shouldn’t have happened, and not to worry”. 2 weeks later HONDA changed response when I called for update and told me to deal with my insurance company. Very unpleasant & unprofessional. Car evaluated and needed seatbelt & air bag replacement. They too confirmed not even scratch front of car, only has 83k miles! Now everyone claiming no seatbelts available.

Airbag light always on in my dashboard

My daughter was in an accident on 9/28/2021 and the air bag exploded and she said it burned her but it was actually some type of metal. The vehicle was inspected by the insurance company. I ended up buying the vehicle back and when the car was delivered to the repairman, it was note that is was a faulty air bag. I am not sure about the other questions as it relates to warning lamps, ect.. It has been inspected by State Farm, the car is still in my possession. I was advised to report the airbag blowout. It was stated on my Market valuation Report under Supplemental information that HONDA is recalling certain 2003-2012 Honda Accord for incorrectly installed air bag may deploy improperly in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA Campaign ID 18v268000, 19v182000, 19v378000 & 19v502000.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a burning odor detected prior to the illumination of air bag warning light. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence then towed to an independent mechanic. The mechanic informed the contact that there was a recall for the air bag. However, when the contact contacted the dealer, the dealer informed the contact that there was no air bag recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was repaired by the independent mechanic, who replaced the air bag control unit. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN for the air bag. The failure mileage was 105,516.

Mileage: 105,516

Airbag Warning Light: - SRS Waring Light ON

THE SRS UNIT HAS FAILED WHICH IS AN ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM IN SOME 2008-2010 HONDA ACCORDS BUT MY PARTICULAR MODEL IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. CONSIDERING THE FAILURE AND THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT FROM HONDA ON THIS EXACT ISSUE, MY CAR SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL FREE OF CHARGE. I CAME TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT BEING ON.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL IN JULY 2016 AND WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO ALLOW PASSENGERS TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. I WAS TOLD THE REMEDY PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER OR FALL OF 2016. I'VE ASKED THE DEALER (PASADENA HONDA) ABOUT IT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT I'M TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. IT'S QUITE AN INCONVENIENCE TO BE UNABLE TO USE MY PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. HONDA HAS NOT INDICATED WHEN I WILL, IN TRUTH, BE ABLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED.

TARKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA MOTOR CO. IN JULY 2016, ASKING TO TAKE AUTO TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I ARRIVED, THEY SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND ADVISE ME. THEY NEVER DID, SO I WENT BACK ON 8/31/16 AND SPOKE WITH ADVISOR, PAUL MLYNAREK. HE SAID HONDA HAD NOT SENT THEM THE PARTS TO REPAIR VEHICLE. THEY CONTINUED TO GIVE ME THE VERY SAME RESPONSE EACH TIME I CALLED. I FEEL THAT 7-MONTHS IS AMPLE TIME TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL ISSUE NOT RESOLVED IN TIMELY MANNER. ADVISED IN EARLY SUMMER OF DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG AND TO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS IN FRONT SEAT.

"TAKATA RECALL" AMERICAN HONDA FAILED TO NOTIFY ME WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT PART BECAME AVAILABLE. I DID NOT KNOW THE PART WAS AVAILABLE UNTIL I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AFTER READING ARTICLES IN THE PAPER THAT THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. HONDA SAID IN THE ARTICLE THAT THEY HAD SENT LETTERS AND BLAMED CAR OWNERS FOR BEING SLOW TO RESPOND WHEN IN FACT THIS IS NOT TRUE. PLEASE REQUIRE HONDA TO NOTIFY OWNERS IMMEDIATELY THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE SO THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE NOT CONTINUED TO BE PLACED AT RISK. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL IN JULY OF 2016, IT IS NOW NOVEMBER OF 2016 WITH NO SIGN OF A FIX. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE, MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE WITH PASSENGERS. THE AIRBAGS HAVE NOT DEPLOYED THANKFULLY, BUT KNOWINGLY WAITING TO PUT A FIX OUT FOR THIS RECALL IS PUTTING PEOPLE AT RISK.

TAKATA RECALL HAVE ATTEMPTED BOTH WITH LOCAL DEALER AND HEADQUARTERS TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT MY AIRBAG AND THE COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN WILLING TO HELP. I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA ACCORD FROM AUTOPARK HONDA IN CARY, NC SEVERAL YEARS AGO. A FEW MONTHS AGO I LOOKED ON RECALL.GOV TO SEE IF THE AIRBAG INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL. RECALL.GOV LISTED IT AS UNDER RECALL. I CONTACTED AUTOPARK ABOUT THIS. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I ASKED WHY IT WAS SHOWING ON THE GOVERNMENT LISTING AND THEY DID NOT KNOW. I ASKED IF ONE OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS UNDER RECALL (WHICH ARE DANGEROUS TO HAVE IN THE VEHICLE) WAS INSTALLED IN MY CAR. THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME AND DECLINED TO LOOK INTO IT. SO, I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA'S CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS (IN TORRANCE, CA) EXPLAINING AND ASKING IF ONE OF THE RECALLED TAKATA AIRBAGS WAS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE. THEY SENT ME A FORM LETTER IN RETURN. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT AIRBAG IS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE (MAKE, MODEL) AND WHETHER IT IS ONE OF THE MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAGS. IF IT IS, I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO GET IT REPLACED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO ME. I FILED THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB A WHILE AGO AND YET HONDA STILL WON'T PROVIDE ME WITH THIS INFORMATION. THEY HAVE PROVIDED INACCURATE INFO TO BBB SUCH AS THEY HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT ME (THEY HAVE NOT). I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO TO OBTAIN THIS BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION FROM HONDA. MY CHILDREN RIDE IN MY CAR EVERY DAY AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS [XXX] IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TAKATA RECALL - UNREASONABLE TIME SINCE NOTIFICATION FOR PARTS STILL NOT TO BE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE DEFECTED AIRBAG(S). NO MATTER WHETHER I'VE HAD AN INCIDENT I CARE FOR MY UNCLE AND CAN NOT TAKE HIM PLACES IN MY VEHICLE UNTIL YOUR COMPANY DEEMS IT NECESSARY TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX ITS MISTAKE. PLEASE FIND AN IMMEDIATE SOLUTION OR PROVIDE A LONER CAR. AND, I FIND IT HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THE PROBLEM IS ONLY IN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND NOT THE DRIVER OR SIDE AIRBAGS. YOUR NOTIFICATION DID NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH EXPLANATION OR PEACE OF MIND. YOU HAVE LOST A 4X HONDA CUSTOMER ON A FUTURE CAR PURCHASE AND I'M SURE MANY OTHERS DUE TO YOUR POOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS ISSUE.

WHEN THE RECALL FIRST CAME OUT, I CALLED AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I WAS NOT PART TO OF THE RECALL. THIS WAS IN 2014 OR 15? THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE DEALER STATING THAT MY CAR COULD POSSIBLY BE PART OF THE RECALL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE LETTER SPECIFICALLY WAS INTENDED TO SELL ME A NEW CAR USING SCARE TACTICS. I SPOKE TO AMERICAN HONDA BECAUSE I WAS SO MAD AT THEM FOR TRYING TO SELL ME A NEW CAR, BASED ON FEAR AND THEY ONCE AGAIN PROMISED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND OFFERED ME A $200 GIFT CARD. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A LETTER DATED JULY 2016 STATING THAT IN FACT MY CAR IS PART OF THE RECALL, AND INSTRUCTING ME TO NOT HAVE, " ANY PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL REPAIR." NOW MY CAR IS IN MY GARAGE SINCE JULY UNDRIVEABLE. I CANNOT DRIVE MY FAMILY ANYWHERE AND THE CAR SITS. THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL FIX IT. THE DEALER HAS LIED TO ME FROM DAY ONE OF THE RECALL AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME TO NOT HAVE PASSENGERS SIT IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT ABOUT THE DRIVER? TECHNICALLY, THE DRIVER ISN'T SAFE EITHER ACCORDING TO THE LETTER. I NEED HELP. I AM WITHOUT A CAR.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA ON 07/18/2016 INFORMING ME OF THE ISSUE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL HONDA TO ARRANGE ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. I CALLED ON 07/19/16 AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY REPORT WAS RECEIVED AND THEY WOULD PROVIDE ALTERNATE TRANSPORT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I CALLED AGAIN ON 07/21/2016 AND FOUND OUT THAT A CASE WAS NEVER OPENED FOR ME AND THERE IS NO RECORD OF MY CONTACT ON 07/19. ANOTHER CASE WAS SUPPOSEDLY OPENED, AND I FOLLOWED UP AGAIN ON 07/22/16, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT AGAIN, MY CASE WAS NEVER CREATED. I AM DRIVING A HAZARDOUS VEHICLE AND HONDA IS REFUSING TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORT. ONLY ON MY THIRD ATTEMPT WAS A CASE OPENED, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD A RESPONSE SINCE. HONDA IS NOT ALLOCATING APPROPRIATE RESOURCES TO THE RECALL TO PROVIDE ALTERNATE TRANSPORT TO CONSUMERS AT RISK.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I ARRIVED BACK HOME, MY BOYFRIEND (THE DRIVER) PUT THE CAR IN PARK, GOT OUT OF MY CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, I CLOSED THE DOOR, AND BOOM! ALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY KIDS WERE IN THE BACK SEAT IMMEDIATELY FRIGHTENED. THEY DID NOT INFLATE, THEY ONLY DROPPED. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA, OPENED A CLAIM, BROUGHT MY CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER, AND OF COURSE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT. THEY ARE BLAMING THE DEPLOYMENT ON AN ACCIDENT THAT A PREVIOUS OWNER HAD GOT INTO MANY YEARS AGO. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, I TRIED CONTACTING AMERICAN HONDA AGAIN TO GET FURTHER EXPLANATION AND ANOTHER INSPECTION I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, A CITY STREET TRAVELING 30 MPH, AND MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THEY HAVE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED RECALLS ON 2008-2009 HONDA 4-DOOR ACCORDS FOR THE SENSITIVITY OF THE SIDE IMPACT SENSORS BEING TOO HIGH. THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE THAT'S EXCLUSIVE TO THEIR 4-DOOR SEDANS, AND ALSO RELATES TO THEIR 2 DOOR COUPE. AS A RESULT OF MY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GIVE ME ANY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT WOULDN'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. I ALSO HAD MY INSURANCE COMPANY INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND AFTER THEIR THOROUGH EXAMINATION THEY DEEMED IT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. AS A RESULT OF THE INCIDENT I WOUND UP HAVING TO PAY $2600 FOR MY AIRBAGS TO BE REPLACED. OVERALL A VERY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS A LOYAL HONDA OWNER WHO WOUND UP ACCEPTING FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING WRONG.

TAKATA RECALL. I OWN A 2009 HONDA ACCORD 2-DR AND THE RECALL IS APPLIED TO THE 4-DR ONLY. HOWEVER, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE MY CAR'S ISSUE BETTER THAN THE RECALL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (I-35) WITH APPROX. 65 MPH, GOING STRAIGHT NOT TURNING IN ANY WAY. I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP NOISE AND MY PASSENGER'S SEAT AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. HONESTLY, IT'S VERY HARD TO TELL IF I RAN OVER A POTHOLE OR IF I HIT A ROCK BECAUSE THE LOUD NOISE AND MY SHOCK DOMINATED THE MOMENT. THANKFULLY, I WAS COMMUTING ALONE THAT DAY AND NOBODY GOT HURT. I STOPPED THE CAR TO INSPECT IT AND I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I FILLED A CLAIM WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST HONDA CENTER FOR A DIAGNOSIS ($120). HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REQUESTED THAT ONE OF THEIR FIELD ENGINEERS INSPECTED THE CAR. AFTER HIS INSPECTION, HE DETERMINED THAT AN IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WHEN I REQUESTED TO SEE THE IMPACT SIGNS, THEY POINTED A SCRATCH ON THE FRAME RAIL. THEY SAID THAT THE SCRATCH SEEMS MINOR ONLY BECAUSE IT HAPPENED ON THE TOUGHEST PART OF THE CAR, THE FRAME RAIL. THAT SCRATCH IS ALMOST UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SENSOR. I ASKED FOR MORE INFORMATION, SUCH AS THE THRESHOLD WHEN AN AIRBAG DEPLOYS, HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT THIS SCRATCH WAS NOT THERE BEFORE, ETC. THEY DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTIONS, INSTEAD THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SCRATCH WAS "FRESH". I'M ATTACHING THE PICTURES OF THE SCRATCH ON THE FRAME RAIL. IT'S NOT VERY OBVIOUS BUT LOOK AT THE SILVER SCRAPE. I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO MY INSURANCE (PROGRESSIVE). THEY WERE BAFFLED WITH WHAT THEY SAW AND THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT SUCH SCRATCH WOULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. THE ESTIMATOR HELPING ME WASN'T SURE IF THEY'LL COVER IT. HE'LL ELEVATE THE ISSUE AND CALL ME ON MONDAY. HONDA DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT SINCE THEY FOUND A SCRATCH. PROGRESSIVE MAY NOT FIX IT. NO CAR OUT OF NOWHERE!

I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN SOMEONE WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED AT HONDA OF THE AVENUES IN JACKSONVILLE, FL. BUT THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL ACTION DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF THE AIRBAG WHEN PERSONS LEAN IN THE PATH OF THE SIDE AIRBAG. I LET THEM KNOW THAT I WANTED TO HAVE THIS CHECKED, WHICH THEY TOLD ME IT WAS. FAST FORWARD TO OCT 2014 I HEARD OF THE AIRBAG PASSENGER PROBLEM AND CHECKED MY VIN. I WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT BECAUSE OF MY ORIGINAL CONCERN I CALLED FRONT RANGE HONDA IN COLORADO SPRINGS (WE MOVED) AND THEY RAN A CHECK OF MY SYSTEM ON 10/30/2014. FORTUNATELY THEY FOUND AND REPLACED THE FAULTY PASSENGER SEAT RAIL SENSORS WHEN THEY SHOWED AS MAJOR FAILURE! THANK GOODNESS I NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT TO TEST THE PASSENGER SENSOR'S! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME FAILURE AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL LEAD TO A RECALL TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM FINDING OUT THE HARD WAY. *TR

I TOOK MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD TO THE DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN THAT THE WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON INDICATING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WERE OFF. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT AN OBJECT OR PASSENGER IN THE SEAT WOULD AFFECT THIS INDICATOR. I ADVISED THEM THAT NOTHING WOULD BE IN THE SEAT WHEN THE LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENLY LIGHT UP. AFTER MUCH EFFORT THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SEAT BACK SENOR IN JANUARY 2014. THE PROBLEM SUBSIDED TEMPORARILY. TODAY THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR CONSTANTLY TURNS ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING REGARDLESS WHETHER ANYONE OR ANYTHING IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF THE INDICATOR IS CORRECTLY MONITORING MY PASSENGER AIRBAGS, THEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR 70 % OF THE TIME WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS NEVER KNOWING IF THEY WILL DEPLOY PROPERLY, WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS.

AROUND SEPTEMBER 6, 2013, WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET, MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER CLOSING THE CAR DOOR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA WHO SAID THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, YES IT WAS BACK IN 2010. HONDA WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND SAID TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM. IF YOU LOOK ONLINE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL HONDA OWNERS, WITH SEVERAL MAKES. IS HONDA WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE ISSUING A RECALL? HONDA SAID I PROBABLY HIT A POTHOLE OR CURB, IF THAT WERE THE CASE THERE WOULD BE HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND AIR BAGS DEPLOYING. HONDA IN CALIFORNIA WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. GLAD IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY WHERE SOMEONE COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED. MAYBE IF IT HAPPENED TO A HONDA CORPORATE EMPLOYEE'S CAR THEY MIGHT FIX IT!!! I HAVE PRINTED OUT PAGES UPON PAGES OF HONDA OWNERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND I WILL BE AT THE DEALERSHIP HANDING OUT THIS INFORMATION TO INCOMING CUSTOMERS TO LET THEM KNOW THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL DO THIS EVERY WEEKEND UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. *JS

A NOISE HAS DEVELOPED IN OUR 2009 HONDA ACCORD IN THE DASH, WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AND RIGHT SIDE "A" PILLAR AIR BAGS ARE LOCATED. THE CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO A LOCAL DEALER ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS. THEY CONTINUE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING SOME TYPE OF PADDING IN THE DASH. AFTER EACH REPAIR, THE NOISE RETURNS AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES. I HAVE ASKED THEM ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO REMOVE THE DASH/AIR BAGS AND INSPECT THE EFFECTED AREAS. I HAVE ALSO REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE HONDA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT. THEY HAVE INDICATED THEY WILL REVIEW MY INFORMATION AND HAVE SOMEONE CALL BACK. MY CONCERNS ARE; THAT SOMETHING IS LOOSE, CREATING THE NOISE, ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM MAY EXIST WITH THE AIR BAGS WHICH COULD RESULT IN EITHER AN UNWANTED/NON DEPLOYMENT SITUATION OR IF SOMETHING IS RUBBING ON A WIRING HARNESS A PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FIRE. *KB

NO CRASH YET, BUT CRASH LIKELY. 2009 HONDA ACCORD HAS DIM HEAD LIGHTS THAT CREATE A BLACK BLANKET IN FRONT OF DRIVER AND NARROWS ON ANY DIP IN ROAD. VISIBILITY VERY POOR, AND THE BLACK BLANKET EFFECT IN FRONT OF YOU MOVES UP AND DOWN BECAUSE CAR BOUNCES ALOT DUE TO STIFF SUSPENSION WITH A WHEEL SYSTEM THAT IS TOO BIG FOR CAR , THUS CREATING THE NEED FOR A LOW PROFILE TIRE THAT CAUSES CAR TO BOUNCE ALOT. THE DRIVER IS VERY LIKELY TO WRECK UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE IS TO RUN WITH YOUR BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AND THEN BLIND FELLOW ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HONDA SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS, AND CONSUMERS SHOULD BE WARNED. DEALER STATES LIGHT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED DUE TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION, BUT THEY WERE GOING TO ADJUST MY LIGHTS AT FIRST, BUT I WAS TOLD NOT TO TURN BRIGHT LIGHTS ON SO AS NOT TO BLIND ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THAT I WAS TENTH PERSON TO BRING CAR IN TO BE ADJUSTED. I BECAME ANGRY THAT I MIGHT BE AT FAULT IF A WRECK OCCURRED , AND SUGGESTED THAT THEY WERE DOING SOMETHING WRONG IF GOVERNMENT SAID LIGHTS SHOULD BE ONE WAY, BUT AFTER CAR BOUGHT, LIGHT ADJUSTED ANOTHER WAY. THEY THEN REFUSED TO ADJUST MY LIGHT BECAUSE THEY BECAME AFRAID OF ATTORNEY GENERAL THREAT. THEY ALSO THEN CHANGED THEIR STORY ABOUT THE 10 PEOPLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, AND I HAVE ONE OF THESE CARS WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. HONDA SHOULD BE MADE TO REIMBURSE US. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE A DANGEROUS CAR. I TRIED TO RETURN MY VEHICLE AFTER BUYING IT ON A SATURDAY AT CLOSING, THEN DISCOVERING THIS DEFECT ON SUNDAY. I RETURNED VEHICLE ON MONDAY, BUT THEY WOULD NOT RESCIND THE DEAL. *TR
