(Please check the attached full complaint letter) I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning matter regarding my experience with the American Honda Motor Company. As a loyal consumer and a law-abiding citizen, I believe it is crucial to address issues that impact consumers and the general public. Since 2013, I have been trying to resolve a critical issue with my brand-new Honda Accord car I bought from Honda. Unfortunately, American Honda company didn’t resolve the issue that affected my car and hundreds of thousands of the same cars’ owners that they sold in NJ and in 22 salt belt states. My argument with the American Honda company is that they have a major design issue with their front left and right axles for Honda Accord cars that have been manufactured since 2003.

I bought this vehicle at 130k miles and it had a regular maintenance. Since then it feels like there’s no power, it revs high when it shouldn’t, feels like the gears aren’t shifting when they should, hard shifting.

I was driving the car and the power steering pump went out and a week later my transmission started slipping then all of a sudden my car wouldn't go into gears and the transmission stopped working completely. It will work for 5 min then it completely won't go in any gear. I had to have it towed home. It was on the road on the bypass and I started acting up then it stopped working completely when I went to get off of work and wouldn't go in to gear at all after that. So I had to have it towed home. I had it looked at by a local mechanic and he said the car had a recall on multiple things for me to look into it because it was gonna cost around 2000 to fix everything.

Car won't start even with the key in it. Didn't have this problem before, along with the airbag light is now on. Prior to bringing the car to honda accord dealer for the other recalls none of this was a problem. Now my car makes a sound while I'm driving like a rattle sound along with the airbag light being on. The other day I started the car and only the lights and everything else turns on but the car engine won't start. It's problem after problem now that I brought it to them for recall. The vehicle was only driven to work and back from the time I took it to them. Then I hen I tried to drive it again the car wouldn't start, and airbag light is on. I took it to them and they worked on 4 things according to the recall however more things seems to be the problem and they didn't do all that.

The airbag light turned on when I was driving the highway, no reason as to why it would turn on because I didn't get into a wreck or crash at all. I've had this car for about a year, bought it from a previous owner they had said it was in perfect condition. So irritated because I use this car every single day to drive to work and from and I also take my daughter to her doctors appointments in this vehicle. Ii don't want the airbags going off while I'm driving and possibly crash because I will sue. The engine light is always on since like a week into buying the car and I took it to a mechanic but it still turns on.

I recently bought a used honda cord with perfect carfax and all stock parts. The battery died on it twice and it failed to start within two days of buying it. I went to replace the battery and as soon as I did my 3rd gear of my engine 'went out' according to the midas mechanic. Vehicle was in motion on the high way and almost yanked me into the concreate street rails. Is there anything I can do?
