| A noise has developed in our 2009 honda accord in the dash, where the passenger side and right side a pillar air bags are located. the car has been returned to a local dealer on 3 seperate occasions. they continue to repair the problem by installing some type of padding in the dash. after each repair, the noise returns after driving about 10 miles. i have asked them on two seperate occasions to remove the dash/air bags and inspect the effected areas. i have also reported the problem to the honda customer assistance department. they have indicated they will review my information and have someone call back. my concerns are; that something is loose, creating the noise, along with the fact that some type of problem may exist with the air bags which could result in either an unwanted/non deployment situtation or if something is rubbing on a wiring harness a passenger compartment fire. | |||

| 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 | |||

| No crash yet, but crash likely. 2009 honda accord has dim head lights that create a black blanket in front of driver and narrows on any dip in road. visibility very poor, and the black blanket effect in front of you moves up and down because car bounces alot due to stiff suspension with a wheel system that is too big for car , thus creating the need for a low profile tire that causes car to bounce alot. the driver is very likely to wreck under such circumstances. the only alternative is to run with your bright lights on and then blind fellow oncoming traffic. honda should recall these cars, and consumers should be warned. dealer states light cannot be adjusted due to government regulation, but they were going to adjust my lights at first, but i was told not to turn bright lights on so as not to blind oncoming traffic. the salesman told me that i was tenth person to bring car in to be adjusted. i became angry that i might be at fault if a wreck occurred , and suggested that they were doing something wrong if government said lights should be one way, but after car bought, light adjusted another way. they then refused to adjust my light because they became afraid of attorney general threat. they also then changed their story about the 10 people. this needs to be investigated, and i have one of these cars which is dangerous to drive at night. honda should be made to reimburse us. we should not have to drive a dangerous car. i tried to return my vehicle after buying it on a saturday at closing, then discovering this defect on sunday. i returned vehicle on monday, but they would not rescind the deal. *tr | |||
