AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 107000 MILES. IT WAS CHECKED AND RESET AT HONDA SERVICE. WITHIN 100-200 MILES IT CAME ON AGAIN. WHEN TAKEN TO HONDA SERVICE FOR THE NEXT OIL SERVICE THE LIGHT-ON WAS CHECKED AGAIN AND COULD NOT BE RESET. I WAS TOLD THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $715.00. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM DRIVING WITH THE LIGHT ON. I BOUGHT THE VEH. NEW AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. REPLACEMENT OF PARTS FOR NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT NOT FOR PARTS THAT ARE NEVER ACTIVATED. THIS SHOULD BE A HONDA RESPONSIBILITY. I AM NOT SURE IF THE AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE LIGHT IS A CONSTANT NUSANCE. I HAVE ASLO HAD THE SERVICE ENGINE ON LIGHT RESET A NUMBER OF TIME DURING OWNERSHIP WITH NO FAULT PRESENT. THE DAY I WAS AT HONDA SERVICE THERE WERE 2 OTHER OWNERS REQUESTING SERVICE FOR A SRS ON LIGHT. JENKINS AND WYNNE HONDA OF CLARKSVILLE, TN SERVICES MY VEH. (931-647-3353) .*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I OWN A 200 HONDA ACCORD THAT IS CAUSING ME TO BURY MY HEAD IN THE SAND. WHEN MY SPOUSE AND I WENT LOOKING FOR A NEW CAR 3 YEARS AGO, I TOLD HIM IF HE WANTED A CAR THAT LASTED LONG AFTER THE LAST PAYMENT TO LOOK AT A HONDA. I AM QUITE SURPRISED AT THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED. THIS NEW ONE IS: THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR NEEDS REPLACED. CAR HAS 70K MILES ON IT. I'VE TALKED TO 2 FRIENDS WHO ALSO OWN HONDAS-SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. $350 TO FIX. THERE'S GOT TO BE A DEFECT SOMEWHERE. PLEASE HELP, WE STILL HAVE $$$ TO PAY ON THE CAR AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A HONDA, IT'S MAKING ME SECOND-GUESS MYSELF.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS
2003 HONDA ACCORD NOTICED PULSATION IN BRAKE PEDAL AFTER 1000 MILES. DEALER RESURFACED FRONT ROTORS AT 4600 MILES. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE REAR ROTORS WERE RESURFACED AT 9000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED AND THE FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT 14000 MILES. ALL OF THESE REPAIRS WERE DONE FREE OF CHARGE BUT DONE HESITANTLY. NOW THE CAR HAS 20000 MILES AND ALL FOUR ROTORS ARE AGAIN WARPED AND THE PADS ARE GLAZED. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE AND IS BLAMING THE PROBLEM ON POOR DRIVING HABITS. 2/3 OF THE VEHICLES MILAGE IS ON THE INTERSTATE AND IS NOT DRIVEN AGGRESSIVELY IN ANY WAY. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
I PURCHASED MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 ON DEC. 31, 2002. I SPENT 6 MONTHS RESEARCHING MANY MAKES AND MODELS IN ORDER TO FIND THE PERFECT CAR FOR MY WIFE AND UNBORN CHILD. I SELECTED THE ACCORD BECAUSE I FELT IT OFFERED THE MOST SAFETY FEATURES AND HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE CARS ON THE ROAD FOR YEARS. MY ONLY CONCERN WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A FIRST YEAR REDESIGNED MODEL, BUT WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER HE SAID THAT THE ONLY THING CHANGED BETWEEN 2002 AND 2003 WAS THAT THE VEHICLE HAD HIGH COMPRESSION HEADS AND THAT'S WHERE THE EXTRA HORSEPOWER CAME FROM. I STILL HAD SOME RESERVATIONS, HOWEVER I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, "IT'S A HONDA HOW CAN I GO WRONG?" SEVEN DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IT STRANDED MY WIFE AT WORK. SHE FINALLY GOT THE CAR STARTED AFTER 20 MINUTES AND GOT IT HOME AND TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T CRANK. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A FLUCK AND IT WOULDN'T DO IT AGAIN, 6 DAYS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. I NOW THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS THE SECURITY CHIP IN HER KEY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM, SO I TOLD HER WE WOULD GET HER A NEW KEY. FIVE DAYS LATER USING MY KEY THE CAR FAILED TO CRANK. I CONTINUED TO HOLD THE KEY OVER TO SEE HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO FINALLY CRANK AND IT TOOK 45 SECONDS OF CONTINUAL CRANKING FOR THE CAR TO FINALLY FIRE OFF! THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND SO I DID. THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY HELPFUL AND CONCERNED AND THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO FIX MY CAR, HOWEVER PARTS WERE ON BACK-ORDER AND WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT. THEY GAVE US A RENTAL CAR AND SENT US HOME. IT TOOK HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION 27 DAYS TO DELIVER OUR PART AND WHEN WE GOT THE CAR BACK THE NEXT DAY IT ACTED UP AGAIN SO THE CAR WENT BACK INTO THE SHOP FOR ANOTHER 7 DAYS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS COMPLETELY REPLACED THE ENTIRE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND THE CAR STILL FAILS TO CRANK ABOUT TWICE A MONTH. THIS IS REDICULOUS, I BOUGHT THIS CAR TO BE RELIABLE AND SAFE FOR MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER, WHO IS NOW 2 MONTHS OLD.*AK

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE HONDA DEALER WITH PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BRAKES(WARPED ROTORS) , AFTER HAVING THE FRONT ROTORS RESURFACED AND PADS REPLACED TWICE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FRONT CALIPERS WERE HANGING UP.MY CAR JUST TURNED 17K MILES AND IT HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BRAKES SINCE IN HAD 8K MILES, AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I WAS "RIDING" MY BRAKES AND THEY WOULD ONLY TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR ME AT NO COST JUST THIS "ONE TIME". I FEEL HONDA IS KNOWS THAT 03 ACCORDS HAVE BRAKE PROBLES AND HONDA PUTS THE BLAME ON EVERONE ELSE EXCEPT THEMSELVES. MY VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN IN THE HONDA DEALER FOR TWO WEEKS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE NEW CALIPERS. FROM TALKING WITH OTHER 03 ACCORD OWNERS AND READING INFORMATION ON OTHER WEBSITES, I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I PURCHASED A 2003 ACCORD IN JUNE 2003. THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I NOTICED A VIBRATION THAT CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THE VIBRATION WAS CAUSED BY OUT OF BALANCE TIRES, AND THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO BALANCE ALL FOUR WHEELS. AFTER BALANCING THE TIRES, THE VIBRATION STILL EXISTED. I TOOK MY CAR BACK FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THEM THAT THE VIBRATION WAS STILL PRESENT. I TOOK THE TECHNICIAN ON A TEST DRIVE AND HE CONFIRMED THE VIBRATION, HOWEVER WHEN I RETURNED TO PICK UP MY CAR IT WAS INDICATED ON THE REPORT THAT THE VIBRATION WAS A NORMAL CONDITION OF THE HONDA ACCORD. STRONG VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL ARE NOT NORMAL, AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.*AK
