I have contacted honda, and they will not return my calls, and are not being cooperative about fixing my car. There are multiple recalls for this exact thing happening. *js

I have been having continuous problems with second gear slipping. In other words when the car is in second gear it feels like its in neutral because you step on the gas and the car does not move. You have to wait for the…

Honda wrote you a letter, which i have a copy of from your website, on june 14, 2014 confirming discussion with you about looking into problems with the 2003 honda accord driver's airbag. They have only recalled the passenger side airbag. I do not feel safe in driving my honda with the current driver airbag.

There is a recall of the passenger side airbag inflator but honda has not sent letters to owners to inform us. Honda has told me that these letters will not be sent out until parts are available. Clearly, owners need to be informed as soon as possible to decide if they want to continue to drive their vehicles. And, secondly, parts are now available and we are still not being notified. Is it legal for them to…
