SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
THE KNOCKING NOISE WAS THERE SINCE A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR.THE DEALER SAID THAT'S NORMAL WITH NEW HONDAS B/C THE GEARS . HAD BROKEN-IN, BENEFIT OF A DOUBT. BUT AFTER THAT THE KNOCKING HAPPENED MO RE OFTEN I BECAME SUSPICIOUS AND ASKED A FRIEND WITH A 4CYL '99 ACCORDLX HE SAID THAT HE NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM. MINE WAS AN EXV6 TOP OF THE LINE THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. AND THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY HEARD IT AT LEAST ONCE BUT THAY SAID THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND SO THEY CAN'T PINPOINT WH AT'S CAUSING IT. THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN FIXED A LONG TIME AGO BY THE DEALER. BRAKES AND STEERING DID NOT WORK, CAR FROZE,CAUSING ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD: REPAIR MECH ANIC SAID,'TIMING BELT". MAINTENANCE WAS DONE 2 MO. PRIOR AT DEALER. THE DEALER SERVICE STATION SHOULD HAVE INSPECTED THE TIMING BELT. EVEN SO THE CAR SHOULD NO T FREEZE B/C OF A TIMING BELT- BRAKES AND STEERING ARE VITAL TO A VEHICLES SAFET Y WITHOUT THESE AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS ARE JUST CUSHIONS FOR ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM TO PREVENT CRASHES INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON CRASH SAFETY. I LOST A CAR BUT I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE FROM THIS H ORRIFYING ORDEAL. I WANT AT LEAST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE CAR FROM EITHER THE MANU FACTURER OR THE DEALER.*AK

AIR BAGS
ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE "SRS" LIGHT CAME ON WHICH INDICATES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELTS, THE AIR BAGS, THE COMPUTER SENSING SYSTEM OR SOME OTHER COMPONENT OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM. THE OWNERS MANAUAL INSTRUCTS THAT "IGNORING THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF THE AIRBAGS, CUTOFF SYSTEM OR TENSIONERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY". IT STATES THE CAR SHOULD BE CHECKED BY A DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF THE SRS LIGHT ALERTS YOU TO A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. WHEN I TOOK THE ACCORD TO THE DEALER, THE TECHNICIAN GENERATED A REPORT FROM HONDA. IT STATED THAT IF THERE WAS A CELL PHONE, A LAP TOP COMPUTER, AN INVERTER (USED TO PUG ELECTRICAL ITEMS INTO THE CARS CIGARETTE LIGHTER) ANY ONE OF THESE MIGHT TRIP THE SRS WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THIS IS BECAUSE ANY OF THESE COMMONLY USED ELECTRONIC DEVICES MIGHT REACT WITH THE ACCORDS AIR BAG SENSORS AND CAUSE THE SRS LIGHT TO COME ON. NOBODY KNEW FOR CERTAIN IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD ACTUALLY WORK IF THE SRS LIGHT WERE ON. THUS COMMON EVERDAY TOOLS SUCH AS A CELL PHONE OR LAP TOP COMPUTER OR PROTABLE TV CAN SURELY DISRUPT THE ACCORDS AIR BAG SYSTEM AND POSSIBLY SHUT IT DOWN. FURTHER, BECAUSE HONDA'S DEALERS WILL CHARGE A SERVICE FEE TO SHUT OFF THE SRS LIGHT, MANY AMERICAN CELL PHONE AND LAP TOP USERS WILL NOT TAKE THE TIME AND EXPENSE TO HAVE THE ANNOYING SRS LIGHT SHUT OFF. THUS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE MAY BE DRIVING 2001 AND 2002 ACCORDS WITHOUT AIR BAG PROTECTION.*AK
