“Just adding my vehicle due to using my plate for for a previous vehicle and wanted to list my current vehicle using those plates to register it for the possible safety recall listed for the gasket issue since my car seems to meet those requirements listed for the year and engine size.”
“Had a flat tire. Found that I had no spare just this pump. It had two cords and a little instruction pamphlet. It said to plug into the 12v socket in the car. My socket is in the console of my car. I plugged it in but I could not tell if the pump had power. so outside the car with my car door open I turned it on. It made a squealing noise. So I went to shut it off the fix a flat side of the pump blew”
“I would like to report a potential safety defect involving a Honda Accord Hybrid Sport, model year 2025/2026, which I rented in [XXX]. During a highway drive with my wife and our two children, my right foot slipped behind the plastic side panel of the center console, next to the accelerator pedal. My foot became caught in this area, restricting its normal movement and access to the accelerator pedal.”
