Hold On Tight...For Your Life - 13 Lives Are Lost Every Day In Hondas

Statistics Updated: Hondas Make Up 13.02% Of Auto Related Fatalities, Not 14.26% As Indicated In Video...13 People Still Die Everyday, However.

In 2007, Honda launched an advertising campaign entitled "Hold on Tight" that prominently featured Electric Light Orchestra's hit by the same name. With so many people dying in Hondas every day, and the company's lack of commitment to safety, perhaps the campaign should have been entitled "Hold on Tight...For Your Life. "

According to the NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (http://www.nhtsa.gov/FARS), 13.02% of all motor vehicle fatalities in the United States were in Hondas for 2008, the most recent year for which data is available. Every day, 13 lives are cut short while behind the wheel of or traveling inside of a Honda.

Don't let yourself or someone you love become one of the 13 to die in a Honda today. Remember, Toyota is not the only car company to have safety and design issues. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has over 1100 complaints on file about the 2003 Honda Accord. Of the 1136 complaints (as of August 2, 2010) referred to this agency, 377 fall into the "power train: automatic transmission category."

Information from the NHTSA web-site (http://www.safercar.gov) reveals that in the 2003 Honda Accord, transmission failure occurs quickly and many times at highway speeds. The complaints from NHTSA are mostly similar to each other in that the vast majority of the failures happen suddenly at higher speeds and the car's occupant(s) are often unsafely jolted forward while coming to a near stop in the travel lanes.

This is a serious safety issue. Coming to a near complete stop from 60 or 70 miles per hour, in some reported cases, has resulted in some injuries and will eventually result in someone's death.

In April of 2004, Honda issued a recall on the automatic transmissions of Honda Accords, Odysseys, Pilots and Acura 3.2CL and 3.2TL models. According to Honda's own press release, "this condition may lead to gear breakage and possible locking of the vehicle's transmission, creating a potential safety hazard." The very same potential failures cited in the 2004 recall have become frequent for owners of these vehicles in the years subsequent to the recall and the resulting "transmission lockup", referred to in the recall, that "could result in a crash" has become a reality for many.

Honda was supposed to fix the problem when it issued the 2004 recall, however, it appears the company tried to do the cheapest thing for its bottom line in an attempt to have these vehicles fail after the warranty had expired. By not fixing the problem they are putting lives at risk.

Honda's blatant disregard for the safety of its customers and the public at large is best exemplified its refusal to take responsibility for the safety and design flaws engineered into their cars. It is no wonder that Honda has 13.02% of the share of automobile fatalities in the United States.

@Tommy090888 that's so ridiculous.

Maybe the crash rate is so high due to the dumbass speeding teenagers in Honda Civics. The majority of Honda's cars are bought by reckless individuals.

All car companies to shit maintenance because -surprise- they want you to come back and buy more cars.

lbl(dot)gov says Honda had 2 cars on their list of 40 most popular cars and they ranked 4th(Accord) and 10th(Civic) safest.
