WHEN NEARING A STOP AND TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, IT WILL MAKE A SOUND... THEN KEEPS GOING BEFORE ACTUALLY STOPPING... INCREASING RISK OF HITTING CAR IN FRONT. ALSO WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, CAR WILL WANT TO KIND OF STALL OUT DIE. MAYBE A SHORT CIRCUIT OR SOMETHING THAT IS DEFECTIVE.

AIR CONDITIONING HAS FAILED ON 2006 HONDA ACCORD WITH 43,000 MILES. DEALER SAYS THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO A LEAKING CONDENSER WHICH WILL COST $700 TO REPLACE. THE CONDENSER IS IN A VERY EXPOSED POSITION IN THE FRONT GRILL AND HAS NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER. IT IS VERY PRONE TO DAMAGE FROM ROAD DEBRIS. THIS IS VERY POOR DESIGN AS THERE IS NO PROTECTIVE MESH. THIS IS A DESIGN FAULT WHICH IS COSTING ACCORD OWNERS A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. IT SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER A RECALL! *TR

2006 HONDA ACCORD BOUGHT NEW IN 2007 46K MILES. A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR, TOOK IT TO DEALER BECAUSE OF EXTENDED WARRANTY. WAS TOLD REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE CONDENSER WAS PUNCTURE BY ROAD HAZARD. CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN WRECK NOR HAS ANYTHING BEEN RUN OVER, WAS TOLD A SMALL ROCK PUNCTURE THE CONDENSER. INTERNET SEARCH ON THIS ISSUE HAS RETURNED MULTIPLE SITES AND MESSAGE BOARDS CLAIMING THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT HONDA IS NOT COVERING REPAIRS. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THEIR VEHICLES. INTERNET SEARCH ALSO RETURNED A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN PROGRESS SEE SITE WWW.HONDALAWSUIT.COM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE OF AN EXPRESS WAY AND EXITING ONTO THE EXIT RAMP. MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD WAS ACCELERATING, SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN TO NO AVAIL. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT AN ACCELERATED RATE, SO I CONTINUED TO PUMP AND PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING AND STILL CONTINUED GOING FORWARD. WITHIN SECONDS I WAS AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP?WHERE I QUICKLY OBSERVED 3 ROWS OF CARS (ON THE LEFT SIDE) WAITING AT THE RED LIGHT. AT THAT POINT, I REALIZED THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND I DID NOT WANT TO HIT ANY OF THE CARS WAITING AT THE RED LIGHT?SO I DIRECTED THE CAR STRAIGHT AHEAD AND BEYOND THE 3 ROWS OF WAITING CARS TO AVOID HITTING THEM?AND HOPING I WOULD HIT A POLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER I AWOKE, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED, I HAD SHATTERED GLASS ON MY BODY, THE AIR BAGS HAD ALREADY DEFLATED, AND SOMEONE WAS YELLING TO OPEN MY DOOR. THIS, I COULD NOT DO?AND I JUST SAT THERE. THEN SOMEONE JAMMED THE DOOR OPEN?AND I WAS PULLED OUT TO A WAITING AMBULANCE. OTHER CARS WERE HIT AND THERE WERE SERIOUS INJURIES. HONDA: WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BRAKES?TO MAKE THEM MALFUNCTION WHEN I KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUALLY? WE ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIND THE CAUSE. *JB
