NHTSA Complaint #10935407 — 2007 HONDA ACCORD

I HAD RETURNED HOME FROM CHRISTMAS SHOPPING AT 9 IN THE EVENING ON 12/10/16. I DROVE UP MY DRIVEWAY PUT MY CAR IN PARK, PRESSED THE AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER WHICH IS ON MY VISOR AND THE DOOR OPENED BUT MY GARAGE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. I LEFT MY HEADLIGHTS ON FOR THIS REASON AND THE ENGINE ON. I WENT. OUT AND EMPTIED THE BACK SEAT OF ALL THE CHRISTMAS PACKAGES AND WALKED IN THE HOUSE THROUGH THE GARAGE. I WENT TO THE FRONT DOOR TO BRING IN A BOX FROM UPS AND THEN WENT TO THE GARAGE AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND MY CAR IN THERE CRUSHING MY WASHING MACHINE. ALL OF THIS IN A SPAN OF NO MORE THAN 3 MINUTES. THE CAR WENT IN STRAIGHT SO THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE STRUCTURE TO MY SINGLE CAR GARAGE. IF MY WASHER DIDN'T STOP IT, IT WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH THE HOUSE. I HAD A $700 SPEED QUEEN WASHER THAT WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF MY CAR HAD EVER BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A NHTSA CAMPAIGN #11V39500 ANNOUNCED ON 08/04/16 INVOLVING 1,512,107 VEHICLES. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT OF HONDA OF OCALA WITH MY COMPLAINT AND NECESSARY INFORMATION INCLUDING VIN # AND THEY NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. I CALLED HONDA CORP. AT 1-800-999-1099 AND SPOKE TO OLIVIA. SHE INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, ASKED MY IF I HAD REPORTED THIS TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND WOULD I GIVE HER THE NAME OF MY INSURANCE COMPANY. SHE SAID THIS WAS A MATTER FOR THE ACCIDENT DIVISION. I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. SHE SAID I SHOULD RECEIVE A CALL FROM THE ACCIDENT DIVISION.. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO FROM HONDA OF OCALA AND IT IS ALMOST PAID FOR AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO TRADE IT IN. NOW IT CAN'T LEAVE IT RUNNING IN MY DRIVEWAY TO COOL OFF OR AT 6 AM TO DEFROST ON OUR FREEZING WINTER MORNINGS BEFORE I HEAD TO WORK.. PLEASE CAN I GET SOME HELP FROM YOU. THANKS. [XXX].
