AIR BAGS
SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. DEALER SAYS SRS UNIT HAS INTERNAL FAILURE, (CODE 8-5) NEEDS REPLACING. UNIT FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY MANUFACTURER. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE, WHY IS HONDA NOT RECALLING THIS SYSTEM?? RESEARCH SHOWS MANY PROBLEMS WITH AIR BAG SYSTEMS ON THIS 1996 MODEL.*JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
FOLLOW UP TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. HONDA AMERICA SAYS ROTTEN EGG SMELL FROM 2003 ACCORD IS HYDROGEN SULFIDE. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. READ ME A PREPARED STATEMENT THAT THE 2003 ACCORDS HAVE A PROBLEM IN RELEASING HYDROGEN SULFIDE DUE TO DESIGN, IT IS NOT THE GASOLINE. NO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS HAS BEEN RELEASED. THERE IS NO FIX. HONDA CLAIMS THE PROBLEM SHOULD GO AWAY OR DISSIPATE SOMETIME BETWEEN 3000-5000 MILES. I HAVE 3950 MILES AND THE SMELL IS AWFUL. HONDA WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP. ACCORDING TO THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL (CDC), HYDROGEN SULFIDE IS A BROAD-SPECTRUM POISON! BREATHING HIGH LEVELS OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE CAN CAUSE DEATH WITHIN JUST A FEW BREATHS! EXPOSURE TO LOWER CONCENTRATIONS CAN RESULT IN EYE IRRITATION, A SORE THROAT, COUGH, SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND FLUID IN THE LUNGS. I HAVE BEEN SHOWING SOME OF THESE SYMPTOMS. WHY HAS NHTSA DONE NOTHING ON THIS ISSUE? THE PROBLEM MUST BE WIDE-SPREAD AS HONDA HAS A PREPARED STATEMENT FOR ITS REPS TO READ OVER THE PHONE. I WILL ATTEMPT A LEMON LAW CLAIM AND/OR CIVIL ACTION FOR DAMAGES DUE TO INJURIES FROM EXPOSURE TO THE HYDROGEN SULFIDE. (INCIDENT DATE DOES NOT APPLY AS THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONSTANT). *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2003 ACCORD WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE WILL ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITH NO PRESSURE BEING PUT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT'S OUT OF CONTROL AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE STOPPED. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING IN REGULAR GEAR THE CAR WILL CONTINUE AT IT'S CURRENT RATE OF SPEED WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE BEING PUT ON THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN THE CAR IS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS "STUCK" IN GEAR AND WON'T/CAN'T GET OUT OF THIS ACCELERATION MODE. *NLM

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND LURCHES. REQUESTED DEALER SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT. FLUIDS REPLACED, BUT NO SERVICE PERFORMED. SERVICE MANAGER EVASIVE AND MIS-LEADING. MADE APPOINTMENT FOR ADJUSTMENT, FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE, DEALER DID JUST ONE. FLUID WAS NOT BURNT OR DISCOLORED. PROBLEM PERSISTS. WARRANTY EXTENSION SHOULD BE ORDERED EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 1999 MODEL. *NLM

AIR BAGS
SRS LIGHT REMAINED CONSISTENTLY ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. DEALER NOTED THE ELECTRONIC SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT MIGHT BE AFFECTED BY ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (EX. CELL PHONE, LAPTOP) OR THE CONTROL MODULE MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE. THE SRS SYSTEM IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY BEYOND THE NORMAL 3YR/36K MILES... SINCE THIS IS A LIFE SAFETY SYSTEM THAT WAS "PROPERLY" INSTALLED, SHOULDN'T IT BE COVERED LIKE THE SEAT BELTS WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY? NO OTHER EXPLANATION WAS GIVEN AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE SRS LIGHT REMAINING ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS. *JB
