I WAS GOING BACK HOME FROM WORK AT 5:50 AM IN THE MORNING IN MY HONDA ACCORD. I LOST CONTROL OVER MY CAR AND HIT SIDE WALK AND A MAIL BOX ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD MY CAR TOPPLED ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS UNDER MY FEET AS THE CAR TOPPLED AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WINDOW WAS ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD AS I WAS STANDING IN THE A TOPPLED CAR. TO COME OUT OF THE CAR I REMOVED THE HEAD REST FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT AND STARTED HITTING THE WINDOW GLASS TO BREAK IT WITH METAL PART OF THE HEAD REST. I HIT IT AS HARD POSSIBLE, I BROUGHT THE HEAD REST DOWN TO MY KNEES TO GATHER FORCE, DISTANCE AND SPEED SO THAT THE WINDOW GLASS CAN BE BROKEN AND I CAN COME OUT. I TRIED FOR FEW MINUTES BUT...

MY DAUGHTER HAD JUST LEFT THE HOUSE, SHE WAS MAYBE 1/4 MILE FROM THE HOUSE AND SHE SAID IT FELT LIKE HER STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP SO SHE STARTED HITTING THE BRAKES. SHE WAS HEADED INTO A CURVE BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN SO SHE CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT WHICH SLUNG THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR INTO A TREE. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. SHE HAD 5 STAPLES IN HER HEAD, A CONCUSSION, A BRUISED LUNG, AND SOME PELVIC BLEEDING. SHE IS STILL RECOVERING FROM THE CONCUSSION. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE AIR BAG THAT CAUSED THE MOST PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO HER HEAD. BUT I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT CUT THE GASH IN HER HEAD. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE FROM THE OUTSET. THE WRONG LUG NUTS WERE ON THE WHEELS. I GOT A RIDE OF VIBRATION FOR 13,000 MILES AND 25 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND INDEPENDENT TIRE SHOPS. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A DIFFERENTIAL WHICH FAILED AND TWO TRANSMISSIONS AFTER THE ORIGINAL FOR A TOTAL OF THREE. I NEVER GOT ONE MILE OF THE NEW CAR RIDE A NEW CAR WOULD NORMALLY PROVIDE. COUNTLESS TRIPS AND STOP GAP REPAIRS ,I AM NOW AFRAID TO TAKE A TRIP. I HAVE ASKED HONDA FOR A NEW CAR THREE TIME INCLUDING JAPAN AND THEY HAVE DECLINED 'STATING THEY COVER THE 3RD TRANSMISSION WITH A WARRANTY AND HAVE HELPED. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED 5 TIMES THE MANY TRIPS TO CULVER CITY FROM VAN NUYS WERE NOT ALL DOCUMENTED AS\ THE WORK ORDERS WERE REDACTED BY [XXX], WHO HONDA CLAIMS SINCE HAVE BEEN RELEASED(FIRED).I HAVE INVOICES OF OVER...

#10406395 | June 8, 2011

LOW-MILEAGE HONDA ACCORD'S FRONT END FRONT END ANTI-SWAY BAR'S LINK CONNECTORS BROKE AND SWAY BAR WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE WHEELS CREATING A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION; ESPECIALLY NORMAL DRIVING INTO TURNS AND CURVES! AMERICAN HONDA REFUSED TO DISCUSS THE SAFETY ISSUES AND ONLY STATED MY CAR WAS "OUT-OF-WARRANTY". THIS PROBLEM OF THE LOSSES OF BOTH ANTI-SWAY BAR CONNECTORS IS DIFFICULT TO DETECT; ONLY A SOFT SCRAPING NOISE WARNED ME OF THE DANGER. I PURCHASED THIS ACCORD NEW AND HAVE DRIVEN IT CAREFULLY FOR THE 20,700 MILES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE GENERAL PUBLIC'S AWARENESS OF THIS HIDDEN HONDA ACCORD PROBLEM BEFORE THEIR FRONT END WHEELS SNAP OR BEND CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND/OR FATALITIES!
