What owners wrote
Person pulled out in front of me and I struck her with front and edge of bumper. The side curtain deployed, but not the steering wheel airbag. I went forward and was hit in the chest on the steering wheel. This was on a 4 lane street leading out of town the speed was 35 MPH
I just bought a 2008 honda accord 4cyl. The headlamps dim on and off every 20 seconds or so .it seems to dim when A/C compressor comes on. Honda websites said this is "normal"?
