Hit a rut, hole, shallow. Lights for airbag(near steering front) went off. Airbag did not engage. I was doing a u-turn, turning right off highway and then left for u-turn in front of a gas station. Why the station had left a hazard for customers to run in to as i did, a turn, i don't understand. Loud noise from right front, and before completed my turn. Sound came as i was turning.

Takata recall i had an air bag recall back in 2016. I noticed the electrical system of the car is always giving me problems.

I can't prevent accidents without honking. Some cars don't see me in there blind spots. I feel like if someone crashes into me honda will be part at fault bc the horn doesn't work. I received a recall letter from honda saying the air bags are being…

When i start the car it rumbles and the rpms rev up. I know it is the wires that go from the ignition coils to the engine that is causing the problems but.. You cant buy that part at an auto part store bc the wire harness is not patented.. To go to honda its $793. Since ive only had the car i have only put 50k mles on it. This is ridiculous that im having this major of an issue this soon.

The plastic key housing had fine cracks where metal part of key was supposed be secured with a tiny screw that was still in the metal key. The fine cracks was enough to allow the housing to open and slip off the metal key. Apparently, the metal end of the key…

I purchased a new 2010 honda hybrid, i have had 3 ima batteries replaced. The last one they replaced came with a software update that has reduced my mpg from over 40mpg to 30mpg and less power. I believe this is in violation of stated window sticker mileage claims, lemon laws and possibly air quality laws, not to mention the loss of power dangers. *tr
