SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
I OWN A 2001 HONDA ACCORD LX THAT I PURCHASED NEW FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MAY 2001. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUB FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH. THE DRIVER SIDE SUB FRAME HAS NOT RUSTED IN THAT MANNER. IN CHECKING FURTHER, THE AIR CONDITION DRAIN HOSE/OUTLET DRIPS DIRECTLY ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUB FRAME AND IS THE SOURCE OF THE RUSTING CONDITION THAT ONLY EXISTS ON THAT SIDE. I NO LONGER FEEL IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND BELIEVE OTHERS MAY BE OPERATING THEIR 1999-2002 HONDA ACCORDS WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DANGEROUS PASSENGER SIDE SUB FRAME ISSUE. HONDA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ALERT REGISTERED VEHICLE OWNERS OF THIS ISSUE AND ALSO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION TO MAKE THE VEHICLES SAFE AGAIN TO OPERATE. *TR

AIR BAGS, ENGINE
DEAR SIR OR MADAM: I TOOK MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD V6 TO HONDA DEALER ([XXX] OF FRISCO, TX) FOR AIRBAG RECALL ON OCT 27, 2014. I WAS ALSO GETTING ENGINE WARNING SIGN ON MY DASH BOARD. AFTER AIRBAG REPAIR I RETURNED HOME AND FOUND FOLLOWING COMMENT ON MY INVOICE : "REDESIGNED AIRBAG INFLATORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR INSTALLATION AT THIS TIME." NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA. DEALER HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY VOICEMAIL AND AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THEY WILL RESPOND WITHIN 24-48 HOURS. SO FAR NO ONE HAS REACHED OUT TO ME. MY QUESTION TO THEM WAS IF YOU DID NOT HAVE THE REDESIGNED AIRBAG INFLATORS THEN HOW HAVE YOU FIXED THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE. REGARDING DASHBOARD ENGINE WARNING SIGN DEALER SAID I NEED TO INSTALL EGA PIPE KIT TO AVOID CLOGGING OF EGA PORT. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS PER THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN 99-085 AND WERE SUPPOSED TO INSTALL THE EGA PIPE KIT FREE OF COST. HONDA NEVER SENT ME ANY COMMUNICATION NOR ANY OF PAST HONDA DEALERS INFORMED ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER ASKED ME $650 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND EVEN CHARGED ME $107 FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH WAS DIAGNOSED EARLIER BY AUTOZONE TECHNICIAN IN JUST 1 MINUTE FOR FREE. HONDA DEALER EVEN REFUSED TO DO STATE INSPECTION SAYING MY CAR WILL FAIL THE INSPECTION IF THIS KIT IS NOT INSTALLED. I ASKED BOTH AMERICAN HONDA AND DEALER TO INSTALL EGR KIT FOR FREE SINCE IT'S A DESIGN ISSUE WITH THEIR ENGINE BUT SO FAR BOTH OF THEM HAVE REFUSED TO INSTALL IT FOR FREE. I WOULD REQUEST YOU TO TAKE THESE ISSUES WITH HONDA ESPECIALLY THE AIRBAG, EGR PORT ISSUE AND LACK OF COMMUNICATION REGARDING PROBLEMS IN THEIR CARS. NO WONDER HONDA COMES AT TOP IN QUALITY SURVEYS SINCE THEY ARE NOT TRANSPARENT ENOUGH TO COMMUNICATE PROBLEMS WITH NHTSA OR CUSTOMERS. I AM WORRIED ABOUT ME AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. THANKS. *TR

PREVIOUS AIRBAG RECALL FOR CORRECTION WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY LOCAL HONDA DEALER ON 9/24/09 - 10/02/09. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED TO "ILLUMINATE" WHENEVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS VACANT. STAYS ON WHILE SEAT IS UNOCCUPIED, BUT RETURNS TO "OFF" WHEN SEAT IS OCCUPIED. RETURNED TO DEALER REGARDING SITUATION BUT DEALER SERVICE PERSON WOULD NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNLESS A FEE OF $100 WAS PAID FOR A "DIAGNOSTIC CHECK". DID NOT PAY DEALER FOR PROBLEM THAT THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING INITIALLY SO PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

PAINT PEELING ON TOP WHEN I PURCHASED IN 2012 JUST A LITTLE BIT THE SIZE OF A SMALL PIECE OF FRUIT. IN 2 1/2 YRS THE WHOLE TOP HAS PEELED, THE TOP OF DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK DOOR AND THE TRUNK IS ALSO STARTING ABOUT 40% NOW. CAR IS 01 BUT I SEE OTHER MAKES AND MODELS THAT ARE THAT AGE AND OLDER THAT LOOK TEN TIMES BETTER. I SEE HONDA ACCORDS EVERYWHERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM , ESPECIALLY THE SAME COLOR AS MINE WHICH IS DARK GREEN. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE NEW AND MAINTAINED IT AT A HONDA DEALER FROM PURCHASE UNTIL NOW FOR MOST MAINTENANCE. AT APPROXIMATELY 168000 MILES THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. ON 6/2/14 THE HONDA DEALER IN DOVER NH DETERMINED THE OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THE OPDS CONTROL UNIT AND OPDS SENSOR (CODE THE DEALER GOT WAS 15-3) AT A COST OF $661.98. IN THE SPRING OF 2006 I RECEIVED (AND STILL HAVE) A WARRANTY EXTENSION NOTICE THAT EXTENDS THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST ON BOTH THE OPDS CONTROL UNIT AND OPDS SENSOR IF THEY MALFUNCTION. IT IS CLEAR THAT HONDA KNEW THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BUT DID NOT ELECT TO MAKE A RECALL. I BELIEVE HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO SAVE MONEY AS HONDA KNEW THAT MANY PEOPLE DO NOT KEEP THEIR CARS MORE THAN 10 YEARS (OR FOR 150,000 MILES) AND SECONDARY BUYERS MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IF THESES ITEMS MALFUNCTIONED DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD GIVE ME SOME CONSIDERATION AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 2010 AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE FOR HONDA NOT TO HAVE HAD A RECALL IN 2006 FOR THIS ISSUE AS HAVING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN AIRBAG NOT WORKING PROPERLY COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I NOW HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT IS VIRTUALLY WORTHLESS IF I DO NOT SPEND $668.98 TO REPLACE THESE UNITS. *TR
