'takata recall' I had gotten into an collision involving a deer on 10/26/2016. I was going approximately 60 MPH when I struck this roughly 110 pound deer. The impact was on my front bumper on the passenger side of my car. When I took it to get repaired I had no other choice but to go with my insurance's geico express facility since all the shops were full from hail damage vehicles. In the estimate and on the repair order I received from geico and amm collision. My vehicle never had the work done to the structure untill 2 months ago. It stated that there were 3 structural components that were worked on. The right rail assembly 4 hours or repair time 60810ta5a00zz (where front and rear panels connect, heavy buckle), the left inner panel 3.6 hours repair time 04695ta0a00zz(rolled with putter panel, includes time for brackets at the top of frame), and the right front panel (crushed,cost effective to replace)60659ta5a50zz. My vehicle was in the shop for only 2 business days but some how put 41 hours worth of labor into my car. I had gotten into another hit and run on 9/20/17 where my side airbags didn't deploy. I took it back to amm collision where geico tried to total out my vehicle, falsify paperwork by taking off componants(transmission), undervalue then retain my vehicle. When I dropped my vehicle off back with amm collision I had taken pictures of patches of rust on structure componants and broken tack welds. Still today I have broken welds in my car. But the major concern was geico and amm collision trying to hide the fact that they didn't do the repairs to my frame for a whole year. And when I requested the photos of the repairs and measurements from the body alignment machine from the shop, I had the police called on me and I have a felony criminal trespassing warning at amm collision for asking for paperwork that they cannot provide.

Metallic grey paint and sealer has begun to blister and peel away on the hood and trunk. Defect begins as a raised discoloration and then grows in size until sealer and paint just peel away exposing the primer. Many more spots are now appearing and soon will become the same.condition is similar to a cancer and soon will envelope the painted surfaces.

I parked on my driveway, which slopes upward. I pushed open the door to the maximum extent. As I exited the car, the door closed by itself, hitting me on the shoulder and injuring the shoulder. (I am now getting medical treatment for the injury.) both the front driver and front passenger doors frequently close on their own, but this was the first time I was seriously injured. After my injury, I asked friends if their doors did this, and tested their doors. Even parked on a very slight upward slope, my door has a tendency to close on its own. At that point I realized there was a problem with my car; the door was not supposed to close like this. I plan to take the car to the dealer as soon as I can to see if the door mechanism can be fixed on both sides.

Waved on as clear to go by the person looking the only way traffic could be legally coming; my wife proceeded to attempt to cross an intersection. Unbeknownst to her and the person that waved her in an all clear manner was that someone was speeding down the middle or turning lane in the same direction that stopped traffic was facing and hit her at an estimated speed of 50 MPH. He hit her front driver's side and spun her around striking the vehicle a second time. No airbags deployed and my wife was taken in a c-collar by ambulance to a local hospital. When the eye injury was discovered to be beyond the scope of the er team at the initial hospital she was transported downtown to a trauma center to have her eye evaluated for retinal tear or other trauma. No airbags deployed. Not front or side curtain not passenger nor driver's side. My wife's head hit multiple times, door window twice and steering wheel to the best of her recollection. Black eye and visual disturbance that has yet to resolve five days later. Culpability aside I am concerned that the airbags on our vehicle did not deploy in a crash of that magnitude. ..

The paint on my black 08 honda accord is beginning to peel on the hood. It just started this week and is about the size of a 50 cent piece or a bit larger. I understand that honda is not interested in correcting the problem. My 1998 civic never had this problem even after 224,000 miles and 12 years. What a shame the honda corp is under an obligation to take care of the problems that they create but without a class action suit I doubt that we will see any help with this problem.
