What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Fire broke out inside driver's door interior while driving. Suspect failure in power window, power door lock or power mirror control assembly. Fire completely or partial destroyed driver's door, driver's seat, front windshield, header, mirror, sun shade, moon roof, and steering wheel. The entire inside of the vehicle is covered inside with black stuff from the fire. My wife and child were lucky to have gotten out of the vehicle before being burned. Dt
Electrical fire inside driver's side door. Where instrument panel (windows/door locks) is. Driver's door (material, buttons, plastic) is melted and burnt badly. The van was warming up, 3- 5 minutes. Smoke was pouring out when I went to get in and the door was on fire. Snow kept the fire at bay until the fire extinguisher was used. The smell of burnt plastic is still horrible, even after leaving the doors open.
While driving home from work at the kennedy space center on sr 405, the engine suddenly shut off and could not be restarted. Hot melted solder from the ignition switch dripped on my foot burning me as I was trying to maintain control of the vehicle and come to a safe stop off the road. The car could not be restarted and had to be towed to a repair shop. The ignition switch had failed, overheated, melted and had to be replaced.
SRS and ABS light on. Have been on for years. Looks like many many others have had similar complaints and honda accord had a recall on one of these???? What is the NHTSA doing about this.
We turned on the ignition to warm the engine a bit at about 9:50 on the morning of sunday, august 6, 2015. After a couple of minutes, the passenger-side airbag completely exploded. The car was not in motion, it was parked, so there was no reason for the airbag to deploy. We suppose that it must be defective. The sheer force of the airbag deployment resulted in a large, circular crack on the windshield, with smaller hairline fractures.
