2006 HONDA ACCORD — Complaint #648642

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about PARKING BRAKE:INDICATOR LIGHT filed December 5, 2007

NHTSA complaint #648642 (ODI reference 10210910) concerns a 2006 HONDA ACCORD and was filed on December 5, 2007. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 11, 2007. The vehicle had 33,264 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as parking brake:indicator light, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA ACCORD cohort independently describe similar parking brake:indicator light failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2006 HONDA ACCORD shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
