    Takata recall. Honda contacted me again regarding the takata airbag inflator. I traded this car into an acura dealer approximately 10 years ago. I have contacted honda by phone and mail 5 or 6 times yet they still haven't corrected this. Somewhere someone is driving a dangerous vehicle. I sure they could find this car if they followed up correctly. They are obviously not very concerned about safety.

    Both front driver and passenger side air bag curtains that connect to the roof are leaking water into the vehicle when it rains. I'm aforesaid this could affect my airbag in the event of an accident. I never realized this is why my driver seats are wet when it rains.

    Car sporadically dying (electrically and all) while in drive or in motion of forward driving (while going 30 + mph) and then just as sporadically turning itself back on. Makes chain dragging sound similar to worn brake pads but the sound will change pitches while driving between 0-43mph. After 43 mph it no longer makes odd sounds but as soon as deceleration begins it is at risk to either temporarily "die' or…

    While sitting in the car the interior sun visor mounting unexpectedly came loose and the visor suddenly dropped. Had this happened while the vehicle was under way this could have caused an accident. I understand that this was a problem on some toyota vehicles and several other honda owners have experienced similar issues.
