The driver horn has stopped working entirely, leaving the vehicle with no way to audibly warn pedestrians or other drivers in an emergency. Additionally, all integrated steering wheel auxiliary controls and buttons are completely non-functional, which points to a failed clock spring/cable reel or an electrical short inside the steering column. This total system failure creates an unacceptably high risk of a collision and raises severe concerns regarding whether the driver's steering wheel airbag will properly deploy in an accident. The vehicle is currently un-driveable, legally unsafe to operate under state transit laws, and induces extreme driver anxiety. The vehicle has a pre-existing history of abnormal steering wheel noise and dashboard volume knob defects that were previously reported and serviced at an authorized Honda dealership during the factory warranty period. The defect has now returned in a catastrophic state. The vehicle is currently held at Twin City Honda (Port Arthur, TX) alongside four outstanding active federal safety campaigns, including Recall 25-090 (Integrated Control Module software update for module resets while driving) and Campaign 26-080 (PGM-FI update). The local dealership is currently refusing to diagnose or repair the critical steering column and horn safety failures without forcing an out-of-pocket diagnostic fee on an ongoing factory warranty defect.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"ACCORD","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
