STRUCTURE:BODY
On this Car the AC drain hose causes unnecessary expedited rust of the subframe as it drips on the subframe where the steering rack and pinion are. this causes that part of the subframe to rust abnormally faster than normal due to the water. The hose whould have been redirected away from the subframe to prevent safety issues.

With all the airbag recalls, is the reason they have not recalled them on my 2000 Honda Accord and my 1996 BMW 328ic because there are so few still on the road and should a death or injury occur, it’s only one so not worth recalling them? I find it hard that cars not quite as old have been recalled but these have not. My son still owns his 1999 Honda civic, too! Thank you for your time and dedication to safety.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Hello, The ignition switch in my vehicle has never worked right. I took the vehicle to a Honda dealership for a airbag recall and was told them about the ignition switch problem and recall. They said they would not do the recall and wanted me to call Honda. I called Honda and was told that I would have to pay for diagnostic fee before they would attempt any repairs for this recall. The Honda case number is 14383356. I refuse to pay a fee for what should be a free recall. If you could please help me with this issue I would certainly appreciate it. The recall information is as follows: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:05V-025 MFR CAMPAIGN ID:P68 CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION:99-02 ACCORD IGN INTERLOCK RECALL DATE:01/27/2005 Thank you in advance for all your help.

POWER TRAIN
On this vehicle, it is common knowledge that the V6 models have an issue related to the transmission (referred to as the automatic transaxle by Honda) where the system was not reworked to account for the extra torque put out by the more powerful V6 engine causing it to strip and shred portions of the gearing causing gear slippage, rough idling, and other similar issues usually occuring sometimes around or after the 80k mile mark. Upon finding out about this, I did some research and Honda's "solution" offered was that transmissions could be swapped for rebuilt ones salvaged off of other vehicles brought in for similar issues but there have also been reports of these rebuilt transmissions beginning to fail after they reach an additional 80k miles proving the issue was not truly resolved. On top of this, a formal recall was never made, owners were not made aware of this, and the offer was only made available to those who brought their vehicles in for this issues within a certain number of years and certain of mileage after their purchase which is very unsafe, anti-consumer, and shows a lack of care and responsibility on their part especially since this issue affects not only V6 Accord models, but also affects Ridgeline, Odyssey, and CR-V models that use the same engine and transmission combo. It should also be noted that, due to the lack of notice or action regarding this issue on the manufacturer's part, it has never been resolved on my model as the prior owners never knew of this issue when they bought the car new but the Honda owned dealership was happy enough to quote me a $1406 repair the last time I inquired about this issue.

I rotated the tires looked at the tread and noticed all 4 tires had cracks along the tread in all directions. The cracked tread make the tires unsafe for road use. I emailed the company but did not receive a reply to my message. At this time the tires loose about 10-15 PSI of air within a few days.

SUSPENSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 has a few issues: 1. Front/rear struts, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links. This has caused my car to fail safety tests for the last 5 years. I have received an itemized estimate for these issues from a mechanic. 2. Electrical. The front instrument panel is not working properly. I can not touch any buttons on the dash or the lights on the panel will go off completely. Both of these are a huge safety issue and it is not safe to drive! No lights or warning of any kind regarding these issues!

Subframe on passenger side is rusted through creating a safety hazard. I was unaware of this issue on 1999-2002 Honda Accords but when researching for the cause of a noise coming from the front end found plenty of articles but no corrective action from Honda.

SEAT BELTS
The seatbelt SRS system light was previously identified as defective by American Honda. When my notification light came on I immediately took vehicle to Honda Dealership for repair. I have been forced to do so multiple time during my vehicle ownership. Currently the SRS light has come back on yet Honda refuses to fully and completely repair the cause. I fear for my safety and others should an unfortunate accident were to occur. I reported the issue to American Honda. Incident report number 12902734.

POWER TRAIN
I had this car for a few weeks with 120K miles on it and the transmission died on me while driving and almost got hit with a big rig. Lucky the big rig has enough distance to slam that break. This car needs attention and recall with the transmission. Been reading a lot of faulty transmission for this model and no recall. Not sure if a crash or fatality will occur first before they will initiate a recall. Honda is a reliable company but has this many complaints and no recall has been initiated.

AIR BAGS
I received a letter about the airbag recall for my 2000 Honda Accord EX back in year 2020, so I call the dealer in Sanford to make an appointment. They tell me I have to take my car in first, then they will inspect it and order the part (AutoNation Honda Sanford 407-323-6100). I arrived early, they took my car in and in about an hour later they called me that my car was ready. I was surprised on how fast the job was done. I looked at the invoice paperwork Honda gave me and left home. At my house I was looking at the invoice and it did not show anywhere where the airbag was recalled, so there was NO second appointment. I called on the same day of my appointment (Nov. 14, 2020) and speak to a rep who I explained the situation. She placed me on hold a few times and at one point I asked to speak to the person who was in charge who was Michael Donaldson (service advisor 7927). I explained to the service manager that I did not see anything about the airbag being recalled. He said after the tests they performed, my car did not need the airbag to be replaced, so they did not schedule another appointment because of that. Mr. Donaldson did tell me that Honda performed a SOFTWARE update and that would be it. I asked Mr. Donaldson "how a software update is going to fix the metal pieces inside the airbag?" His replied was "that was all the car needed". I decided not to call the same Honda dealer again, but did call Holler Honda (407) 629-1234. Unfortunately before I was able to take my car in, the transmission failed, so I had to cancel. I WILL fix the transmission and the car WILL be on the road again. I have proof of what Honda in Sanford did on the day of my appointment. I keep receiving letters and emails about the recall, so something WAS NOT done correctly, because if they send the report that my car didn't need an airbag, why do I keep getting letters and emails to call for appointment? I ALREADY MADE AN APPOINTMENT and HONDA DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING.
