AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
I HAVE TAKEN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE THE SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND STAY ON WHILE DRIVING, THEREBY DISABLING THE SIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THIS OCCURS MOSTLY WHEN NOBODY IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THREE HONDA DEALERS AND EACH AND EVERY ONE SAYS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. WHAT DO I DO? I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE PROTECTION THE SIDE BAGS OFFERED, YET THEY SEEM TO BE INOPERATIVE A LOT OF THE TIME AND NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO FIX THEM.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE OIL SEAL FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE TRAVELING. ALL OF THE OIL IN CAR DRAINED OUT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION WHERE I HAD THE OIL SEAL REPLACED, AS WELL AS THE TIMING BELT AS A RESULT OF OIL SATURATION ON THE BELT. I CONTACTED, HONDA ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2000 , BECAUSE A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 93-95 ACCORDS AS A RESULT OF AN OIL SEAL PROBLEM. HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY MODEL YEAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT TSB 9610001B RELATES TO THIS PROBLEM ON 1992 HONDA ACCORDS AND WISH TO REPORT THIS FAILURE AND HONDA'S INACTION IN RESPONSE TO NHTSA.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
THE SEAT BELT RETAINER LATCH (THAT RECEIVES THE TIP OF THE SEAT BELT) DOES NOT RETAIN THE SEAT BELT. THE SEAT BELT LOOKS AS THOUGH IT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED BUT IT CAN BE PULLED LOOSE WITH MODERATE EFFORT. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO THINK THAT THE SEAT BELT IS WORKING OK WHEN ITS NOT. IT MAY BE THAT THIS CONDITION IS COMMON ENOUGH FOR YOU TO BE KEEPING A FILE ON IT. IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION I WILL SEND IT TO YOU. I AM A RETIRED ENGINEER WITH AUTOMOTICE EXPERIENCE SO YOU CAN GET ACCURATE INFORMATION FROM ME IF YOU WANT IT. THE DEALER HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE THE SEAT BELT LATCH AT NO COST. HONDA HAS A LIFETIME GUARANTEE. I CAN SUPPOSE THAT MANY FAILURES OF THIS TYPE COULD OCCUR IN ACCIDENTS BUT BE ATTRIBUTED TO IMPROPPER SEAT BELT USE. THIS COULD HIDE A CONDITION THAT COULD HAVE KILLED MANY PEOPLE. YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK THE NATIONAL ACCIDENT FILES. I CAN DELAY HAVING THE BELT FIXED FOR A FEW DAYS IF YOU WANT TO CONFIRM THAT IT IS INDEED DEFECTIVE.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY BREAKS HAVE NOT FAILED, BUT SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR THEY HAVE MADE A TERRIBLE SQUEALING NOISE. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER AND HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE NEW MATERIALS USED TO MAKE BREAKS CAUSES THIS NOISE. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT ANSWER SINCE VERY FEW IF ANY OF THE OTHER NEW CARS I SEE AND HEAR ON THE ROAD ARE MAKING THE SAME NOISE. HAS THIS PROBLEM BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER HONDA OWNERS? IS IT IN FACT DUE TO THE MATERIALS USED TO CONSTRUCT THE BREAK PADS? IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE A NEW CAR AND HAVE IT SOUND LIKE THE BREAKS NEED REPLACING.
