2010 Honda Accord Airbags Problems

This August will make two years since my airbags deployed. When closing the passenger door, all of the airbags deployed(with the exception of the dashboard). This normal amount of force caused this to happen. I have also read many complaints with the same issue as mine, and a lot of them are not on the recall list. I want to file this complaint to hopefully bring forward a resolution. Also, around the same time, while traveling to another state, my piston rings failed. They collapsed together. I had to have it “fixed” and towed to a near by auto shop. When I got back on the road, another spark plug failed. When I finally got home with my car, I took it to my local dealership. After taking my entire engine apart, they found that my piston rings failed”collapsed together”. This was a hefty bill. After some more research on my car, I found that this is only one reason why this model of Honda was discontinued. There is a malfunction with the engineering. I have not been reimbursed for the expense of a repair that I am not responsible for. Thank you. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING - VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES IS BURNING OIL. NO DIPSTICK READING FOR OIL IN ENGINE (FOR EVERY 3,000 MILES DRIVEN). CAR PINGS AND NO OR LITTLE POWER FROM ENGINE DUE TO OIL LOSS. DEALER TEST STATED 1/2QT OF OIL USED EVERY 1,000 MILES. TYPICAL HONDA OIL CHANGE IS EVERY, 7,500 MILES (PER THEIR MANUAL) - IF WAITED THAT LONG NO OIL WOULD BE IN ENGINE. DANGEROUS AND SIGNIFICANT ISSUE - HONDA STATED IT WILL NOT FIX AND STATED 1/2 QT OF OIL BURNED EVERY 1,000 MILES IS NOT EXCESSIVE OR SIGNIFICANT !! - FROM A CAR OWNER, IT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT. COMPOUND THIS WITH THE MONTHS AND MONTHS WAIT FOR THE TAKATA RECALL FOR AIR BAGS ISSUE - THE HONDA 2010 CRV HAS SIGNIFICANT ISSUES.

I HAVE A BROKEN AIRBAG SENSOR WIRE UNDER MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE WIRE BROKE ON IT'S OWN FROM SIMPLY MOVING THE SEAT FOR MY DAUGHTER TO GET IN THE BACK SEAT. HONDA WANTS OVER $400 TO REPLACE THIS AND CLAIMS THE WIRE LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN CUT. HOWEVER I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE & NEVER CUT THIS WIRE. I TOOK THE CAR TP ANOTHER AUTO SHOP WHO GAVE ME THEIR OPINION THE WIRE SIMPLY BROKE THRU NORMAL USE. I BELIEVE HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR THIS AT NO COST AS IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN & NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS LIT UP AT ALL TIMES & I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS WILL WORK IN AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED HONDA AGAIN TODAY ABOUT THIS & EVEN WITH THE OPINION OF AN AUTO SHOP THEY ARE SAYING THEY CAN'T HELP SINCE THE VEHICLE ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY.
