Just Take Your Crosstour Across Town To The Dealership For Your Recall!

Let's just go ahead and take all our vehicles back to the manufacturing plant and get new ones. Well, at least for the Ferrari Italia 458, the recalls on that, the company just replaces it, if it has caught on fire. Well, Honda has another recall, no its not the windows this time, just the airbags. You, know the one thing to keep you safe, could cause major injury reports say. Honda is another automaker that has had an excellent reputation. "Oh, if you buy a car, go Honda." MMM, no and even Toyota's most devoted, has purchased a vehicle other than them, according to reports. People question loyalty when safety and too many issues come about, and rightfully so. Cincinnati Ford Dealers have their loyal, most devout consumers, so any issues are solved instantly.

Honda has recalled the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour front passenger airbag. Over 3300 Crosstour airbags module do not meet federal regulations. Ouch, I say it once again, I thought engineers went to school for all this? Apparently, the test for front passenger airbag deployment with an unbelted six year old crash kid dummy, isn't up to standards. Well, technically in America you are not allowed to have children that young in the front seat and even to be unbelted, it's against the law. But everyone knows there is always some knuckle head that is out there that will, then want to sue the cow out of the company. Is this why some people stand behind their German automakers like that of Peoria VW?
The Honda Accord Crosstour does not just have this safety issue that is not rated number one, IIHS test for the rollover received a marginal for roof strength, basically a rollover. Some people think, "Will I really roll over my car?" Yes, it is easier than you think, fast driving, a deer on the highway and poof you're slamming breaks, steering one way, then jerking the opposite. Then, well,you end up in a ditch rolled over, back on the wheels and the roof caved in because the metal cannot hold its own weight even briefly.

Either, further testing needs to be done on new releases before they hit the showroom floor, or something has to give about these automakers banking cash on the consumers. Just to say "Oh, hey, can you bring that brand new vehicle back in? We actually have to fix what wasn't built right." Frustrating, sometimes profits do get in the way.
