Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 20062007 Accord - Marks on Dash Panel
I just bought a 2007 Honda Accord LX-V6. The dash board panel on the passenger side has a rectangular mark (very clearly visible). I took it to the dealer the very next day and he agreed that this is a manufacturing defect in the panel which houses the passenger side airbag. He ordered a new part and called me in to replace it. Today he says that all the new 2007 Accords that he has have the same mark. How can Honda be shipping out cars with such a glaring cosmetic defect? I called Honda customer relations and got a stupid woman on the phone. She had no clue and was not willing to listen and understand my issue. I am going to keep escalating this issue till I get it resolved. Does anyone else have this problem ? I bought a 1997 Dodge Ram Van that had only one inner wheel well splash guard. This is the rubber part that keeps mud and dirt out of the engine compartment. After going round and round with the dealer a few times, they told me that Chrysler had decided to put this part only on the passenger's side, and that the driver's side part didn't even exist! I figure you are out of luck on this one, if that is indeed what Honda decided to do. But keep escalating the issue, until you get the final word. Earle > I just bought a 2007 Honda Accord LX-V6.

They were making them that way back in the 80's. One side had an inner fender, the other didn't. >I bought a 1997 Dodge Ram Van that had only one inner wheel well splash > guard.

I wanted both sides, because I live on a gravel road. Chrysler said the left one wasn't needed, so I eventually get a Suburban to replace it. Earle > Are you talking about an inner fender?

They are replacing your dash, free of charge, and will probably issue a TSB to cover this for other people. Your mind is so clouded with hate and thoughts of revenge that you cannot think straight. Also, you have posted this identical message individually to at least three groups. Not only are you angry and vindictive (and probably have a scowly expression on your face), you are ignorant of proper crossposting etiquette. See my reply in alt.autos.honda.

Your mind is [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > expression on your face), you are ignorant of proper crossposting > etiquette. I think you could not understand what I said. The dealer refused to replace the part as the mark is on more than 1 car. The reason of multiple posting was to get maximum coverage so that I could find someone out there who has had the same issue. As far as being aware of cross posting, yes, you are right, I did not know. > I think you could not understand what I said.

You originally said: "I took it to the dealer the very next day and he agreed that this is a manufacturing defect in the panel which houses the passenger side airbag.

SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ I think the marks you are talking about are where the air bag rips out of the panel during an accident. In the old days there would be a separage ugly panel that hinges open there. THis is considered an improvement. CHrysler had it too in my 300M though they were just about invisible in most 300Ms I saw. They were laser cut from underneath, according to Chrysler docs. >> It *is* resolved, you idiot.
