Problem Accord

Honda Accord 2009
2009 honda accord airbags didn't deploy with radiator wrapped around engine on a front end crash. The other vehicle was a jeep and was hit in the side and all the airbags were deployed. This was not a minor accident as they are thinking of totaling out the vehicle. My mother in law weighs around 100 pounds, but the airbags should have been deployed. She was taken to the hospital, with chest injuries. *tr

My daughter was driving her 2008 Honda Accord, she hit a tree, fence and flipped the car resulting in it hitting another tree and the drivers airbag never deployed. She died in the car accident and Honda takes no responsibility for this. If you seen her car you wouldn’t believe the air bag didn’t deploy- all the other airbags did but not hers. I even had the coroner say she had no signs of airbag deployment to her body and her injuries were consistent with no airbag deployed. The police report and first responders stated no airbag deployment yet Honda takes no responsibility for it. Just makes me wonder how many more lives will be lost before they own this and make it a recall.

Car wouldn't start until I added engine oil.

Honda Accord 1997 Accord 4cyl 175000 miles
So after work I tried to start my car and it would turn over but not start. I tried multiple times with no luck. My brother in law ended up coming to help me. I told him it could be low on oil. So he added a little oil and it almost started. So he added a little more oil and it started right up. So I drove it home. My Dad checked the oil after I got home and he said it is overfilled with oil. Which doesn't make sense because it sounds good and is running good. Would this be a good indication that the sensor that checks the oil level is bad? Any suggestions are appreciated. I had recently replaced the radiator. Changed the oil, filter, air filter, atf and the battery is great.

96 Accord EX: ONLY starts on the 3rd try; randomly hiccups while drivi

Honda Accord 1996 4-Cylinder 190000 miles
Vehicle only starts on the 3rd try. During the first 2 tries, the vehicle pretty much starts fine but dies the exact millisecond it actually starts. The vehicle also has brief moments of lag while on the road. A feeling that the engine is inconsistent (it basically hiccups) maybe 1-3 times per drive. Usually very briefly and very inconsistently so. Things to note: 1. Sometimes the car randomly starts on the first try. It seems to happen more when the fuel tank has more gas in it. I suspect the problem occurs more when the gas tank is well-above empty, but just below the half or 1/4th mark. B… Read complete

Honda Accord 2011  4000 miles

Fix 2010 Accord EX-L

Honda Accord 2010 EX-L V-6 Coupe 3.5L 6M
When driving on the freeway on my way to work the check engine light came on. After exiting i checked for error codes (as i always carry the p-code reader with me). The code stated that cylinder 3 was misfiring. I double checked all spark plugs to make sure the connections were okay. The engine light continued to come on, with a rough idle, and engine codes started to be more spontaneous as it stated random misfires/multiple cylinder misfires. I took my car to honda and was told that i likely need to replace the ignition coil, so i did that and still experienced the same problem. I then took i… Read complete
