AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THE RED SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS. DURING THIS TIME, THE CAR WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS AND CITED THAT PERHAPS ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT NEAR THE DRIVER SEAT WAS CAUSING INTERFERENCE OF SOME KIND. THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, AS I HAVE A 2000 (HONDA ACCORD CPE EX V6) AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD A CELL PHONE AND NOT HAD PROBLEMS TILL NOW. THE DEALERSHIP RESET THE LIGHT AND IT HAS NOT COME UP SINCE. BUT I HAVE READ THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER CARS. I FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN BE POTENTIALLY SERIOUS DURING AN ACCIDENT IF THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT TO DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT COULD MEAN ANYTHING FROM THE FRONT OR SIDE AIRBAGS. I DON'T THINK THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE THAT RISK.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
2003 HONDA ACCORD EX SEDAN WITH 4 CYLINDER. CAR HAS DEVELOPED HIGH IDLE 1800 RPM WHEN STARTING A COLD ENGINE(STARTED AFTER 3500-4000 MILES). CAR WILL ACCELERATE (ACTUALLY JUMPS) TO 20 MPH WITH FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR(IT WILL SPIN THE TIRES ON WET PAVEMENT AND WINTER IS AROUND THE CORNER AND CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT DRIVING WILL BE LIKE). TAKES OVER +5 MINUTES BEFORE IT REDUCES TO A NORMAL IDLE (APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES WORTH OF DRIVING). THIS IS A REALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ALSO EXPERIENCING THE ROTTEN EGG SMELL ENTERING INTO THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT. THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) HAS A SERIOUS VIBRATION WHEN COMING ON THAT HAS HAD SEVERAL PASSENGERS ASK ME WHAT THE NOISE AND VIBRATION WERE. IT'S A SHAME SINCE I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THESE PROBLEMS AND CAME AWAY WITH THEM MAKING ME FEEL GUILTY AND THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HAVE TOLD THE DEALER SO. I GUESS I'M GLAD THAT SITES LIKE THIS EXIST...THANKS. *AK

VISIBILITY
THE VEHICLE (VIN:[XXX]) WAS PURCHASED ON 5/30/03. UNFORTUNATELY WE DID NOT NOTICE THE VERY SIGNIFICANT DESIGN DEFECT UNTIL AFTER WE HAD PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DESIGN DEFECT IS THAT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS VERY RESTRICTED VISIBILITY, PARTICULARLY NOTED WHILE DRIVING. IT'S AS IF "YOU'RE LOOKING OUT THROUGH SLOTS." AFTER MY WIFE HAD A SMALL ACCIDENT IN THE VEHICLE, AT LEAST PARTIALLY DUE TO RESTRICTED VISIBILITY, WE SOLD THE VEHICLE, FEARING WORSE ACCIDENTS IN THE FUTURE. CORRESPONDENCE WITH AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED. *LA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
