What owners wrote
Takata recall previous complaint in feb. 2018, and no action taken, complaint # 11079970, air bag recall, resulting in no action taken from honda, head-on accident occurred, and air-bags should've deployed, but didn't. Injuries incurred. Honda has refused any partaking on matter. I was at a complete stop, in the turning lane, car appeared out of nowhere, and I hit her head-on to the drivers side front bumper, light, tire. This was a no-fault accident on the police report.
1. Whirring noise that increases with speed. 2. Occasional clunking when braking. 3. Right side door speaker vibrates on level 3+. 4. Clicking noise when heater is on. Is this normal? 5. I find the car a very loud ride..a lot of echo underneath with every bump..I suspect the tires maybe. They are firestone.
