2009 accord airbag failed to deploy by clippership
May 25, 2009 (7:40 pm)

lady ran a red light at 40 mph and slammed into the driver side of my 2009 accord ex. neither the side airbags nor the front deployed. I slammed into the side and broke two ribs. has this happened to anyone? I would think the side airbags would deploy in such a situation.

Yes, I would have thought they would go off. I am pretty sure their are side air bags. Something does not seem right with them not going off. I would look more into this.
Perhaps Honda needs to eat your medical bills. 40mph is still fast.
 
I am glad your okay though. It could be worse! People are just to wound up, and drive too fast. Even this weekend.. people following me close, passing me... Is it worth it? Please, take a step back, relax, you'll get there when you get there. Why rush all the time..Slow down, enjoy the ride. Its amazing to see.... I saw one run a red light, only to pull into their drive way down the street. Or pull into the grocery store after the passing me violently earlier..... what? are you that hungry? See, I forgot, your more important than me, just honk next time and I will pull over to let you pass me.
 
Anyway, people, slow down, enjoy life a bit okay?

Port of entry by drhuntr

I just bought a 2009 Honda Accord Sedan EXL-V6 and noticed the port of entry was San-Diego but the final assembly point was Marysville OH, what part or was the whole car made in Japan and brought in to San Diego?

Parts are made all over but essentially your car was made at the Honda plant in Ohio. It was shipped to San Diego... I'm guessing that you live nearby.
 
You can tell in what country your car was manufactured by looking at the first digit in the VIN. J = Japan, 1 or 4 = US.

This is the part I don't understand, this car was shipped to my dealer in Central KY and the Ohio plant is a little over two hundred miles away. I just wonder what part of the car would have come in to port at San Diego than shipped to Ohio for final assembly. Not all of the accord in my area are like that, most come 100 percent from Ohio.

I guess you don't live anywhere near San Diego.
 
That is a bit odd but I don't claim to know how Honda does things. I thought they were made in one place. Did you check the first number of the VIN? Now I'm curious.

Has anyone heard the snap type sound coming from under the engine (driver's side) after shifting into D and pushing on the gas pedal?
 
My EXL V6 has this issue and the dealer is not sure what this is...any thoughts?

yes- if it is what I think you're talking about.... when i back out of my driveway and shift from reverse to drive, i hear a clicking noise of sorts on my 09 EXL V6....
 
my 03 LX 4 sedan had a clicking noise of sorts as well- only it sounded more "springy" if that makes sense.. lol

If its before you've driven the car at speed, its probably your ABS self-test. In my 06 Accord EX, it does the self-check at 4 mph or so. Makes a mix of a grinding noise and a burping noise, for less than a second. It does this the first time you go past 4 mph after each startup.

"yes- if it is what I think you're talking about.... when i back out of my driveway and shift from reverse to drive, i hear a clicking noise of sorts on my 09 EXL V6.... "
 
This is exactly what I hear. My 2003 never had this, but the 09 is every time I shift into Drive and push the pedal. It happens in the morning or even after driving for a bit. Granted it is louder when it has not been driven for several hours. Does not sound normal, and I can not figure out why it would do that.
 
It also sounds a bit different than the ABS comment just above.
