While driving at approximately 70 mph., my passenger side airbags suddenly deployed for no apparent reason. Thankfully no one was in passenger seat or hurt, but the excruciating noise was deafening and this put me at risk since it sounded like an explosion and zero visibility out side window. I had to pull over on side of road and puncture the bags and gain composure and visibility to continue my trip. I have called the recall center and found there were no active recalls but I see that this has been an issue in the past with other 2013 Honda Accords. I have been waiting for the caseworker to have an adjuster look at the vehicle but they are already setting me up for the denial to fix the issue and replace airbags. There were no warning lights to give a signal that this might happen. Case worker is supposed to send me to adjuster to get the vehicle inspected but 2 months have gone by. I am afraid that other airbags might deploy and cause a wreck or fatality if it impairs vision. I have to have the car to drive…and am getting zero cooperation from Honda

ON 11-28-2019@ APPROXIMATELY 1835 HRS. MY HONDA ACCORD LX-AUTOMATIC WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENT INVOLVING 5 CARS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED WHEN THE CAR WAS HIT FROM THE REAR AND PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT. 2 IMPACTS WERE FELT FROM BEHIND FROM. AT THIS TIME THE CAR IS DISABLED AND I AM AWAITING FOR ESURANCE TO EVALUATE MY LOSS.

I WAS ON THE LEFT LANE TRAVELING WESTBOUND WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS AND THE CAR FROM BEHIND PUSHED MY CAR INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE LIE 495 WESTBOUND IS 50 MPH.

TAKATA RECALL. NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. ADDITIONALLY, VTC ACTUATOR. HONDA HAS REPAIRED ACCORD'S FROM 2008-2012 BUT NOT 2013-2016 WHICH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. VARIOUS FORUMS AND MY OWN VEHICLE HAS THE ISSUE. I HAVE VIDEOS AND SOUND TO PROVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT HONDA IS REPAIRING ON ACCORD'S FROM 2008-2012 ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STARTS WITH A LOUD START-UP AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE WEATHER IS REALLY COLD, THE ENGINE WON'T START. HONDA DOES HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT FOR OLDER CARS.

MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG TURNED ON AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE ALSO WHEN I PRESS ON MY BREAKS THE THE LOCKS ON THE DOORS MAKE A CLICKING NOISE

"TAKATA RECALL". (LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY CAN CAUSE THESE AIRBAGS TO EXPLODE WHEN DEPLOYED) MY HORN LOCATED IN THE STEERING WHEEL CONSTANTLY BLARES WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH HEAT WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AND STATIONARY. THIS ISSUE COMES AND GOES AND THE DEALERSHIP "HONDA WORLD" LOCATED IN DOWNEY, CA. REFUSES TO INSPECT THE ISSUE. THEY TELL ME THE PROBELM NEEDS TO OCCUR FOR THEM TO INSPECT THE ISSUE. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 05/2016 THIS ISSUE ONLY OCCURES IN THE SUMMER TIME NOT THE WINTER WHICH TELLS ME IT'S BEING CAUSED BY HEAT. BECAUSE THE AIRBAG IS ALSO LOCATED IN THE STEERING WHEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED ASAP. I HAVE VIDEOS ON MY CELL PHONE CAMERA AS PROOF.

2 ITEMS- WAS THERE AN AIR BAG RECALL? & STARTER PUSH BUTTON MALFUNCTION, IT DOESN'T START AT TIMES WHEN PUSHED, IT'S GETTING WORST, I'M UP TO OVER FIVE TRYS AND NOW IT FEELS LIKE I'D BE STUCK AT ANY LOCATION. IT STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. SOMEONE ON YOUTUBE CLAIMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2013 ACCORD PUSH BUTTON STARTER.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON IN MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD AND I'M NOT SURE IF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY THE NEXT MORNING I CAME OUT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND WON'T GO AWAY NOW.

TAKATA RECALL I OWN TWO HONDA ACCORDS, A 2010 HONDA ACCORD (VIN [XXX]) AND A 2013 HONDA ACCORD VIN [XXX]). BOTH ACCORDS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE TAKATA BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS AS NEEDING AIR BAG REPLACEMENTS. I FINALLY RECEIVED THE OFFICIAL HONDA RECALL FOR THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THIS PAST FRIDAY, 2/23/18. I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL TO FIX THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD AIR BAG(S). I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED BOTH CARS NEW AND WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE A RECALL "AT SOME FUTURE POINT" FOR THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD, BUT THE SERVICE ADVISOR I SPOKE TO COULD NOT BE MORE SPECIFIC THAN THAT. IN DECEMBER, 2017 THERE WERE NO AIRBAG RECALLS FOR EITHER HONDA ACCORD ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I JUST CHECKED AGAIN FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD AND NOTHING FOR AIRBAGS. THE RECALL FOR THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD SPECIFICALLY STATES: "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED." OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS PRETTY DANGEROUS STUFF. I HAVE RECEIVED NO ADVISORIES AND NO SAFETY ADVICE OR PRECAUTIONS FROM HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION / AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING FRONT PASSENGERS OR STEPS TO TAKE TO AVOID INJURY IN CASE OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IN THE MEANTIME (OR UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A RECALL IS OFFICIALLY ORDERED). IF THESE TAKAKA AIRBAGS ARE A KNOWN DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW AND THESE AIRBAGS CAN KILL OR INJURE PASSENGERS, AND MY 2010 HONDA JUST RECEIVED IT'S RECALL NOW, IN FEBRUARY, 2018 - WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE THE RECALL ON MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD? 2021?I CANNOT SELL OR TRADE MY 2013 BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM, OTHER DEALERS WILL NOT TOUCH THIS CAR. PLEASE TAKE ACTION TO FORCE HONDA TO ADVISE OWNERS TO GIVE A PROJECTED DATE FOR A RECALL AND WHAT TO DO UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A RECALL IS ORDERED / AVAILABLE. THANK-YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

CAR WAS IN DRIVE OF HOME, STARTED CAR AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS STAYED ON. WOULD NOT CLEAR. DROVE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, BRAKES WERE BARLEY OPERABLE, CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND POWER STEERING ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. DEALERSHIP FIRST REPLACED THE BATTERY, CLEARING THE CODES FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE NEXT DAY THEY ARE REPLACING A BAD VSA MODULE THAT CONTROL THE ABS AND OTHER SAFETY FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR. THE ACCORD ONLY HAS 67K MILES AND THESE SENSORS ARE 1700 PLUS DOLLARS. RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND A GREAT DEAL OF THESE FAILING -USUALLY WHEN THE HONDA IS IN MOTION. I WAS FORTUNATE MINE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME.
