AIR BAGS
SRS LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. HONDA LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD COVER THIS, BUT THEY DON'T. SEAT BELT SWITCHES WERE CHECKED AND OK SO SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR COST ESTIMATE: UP TP $900. WHY ISN'T NHTSA ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE? LOOK AT THE LONG LIST OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS IN THE DATABASE! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I'D DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAY OR UP A HILL TO GET TO A PARKING STRUCTURE AT SCHOOL AND THE CAR WOULD STALL AND SLIP GEARS WHERE I THOUGHT IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS OR PEOPLE BEHIND ME WOULD GET ANNOYED AND PASS AT RELATIVELY CLOSE AND HIGH SPEEDS. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ONE NIGHT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT ON ME ROUGHLY 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. I BARELY COULD MAKE IT OVER 10 MPH AND HAD MY CAR SIT IN THE PARKING LOT FOR 6 MONTHS. MY BROTHER HAS PUT IN A NEW BATTERY AND SUGGESTED I PUT NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID IN, BUT THE FLUID IS FULL AND THE CAR STILL SLIPS. I KNEW IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHICH IS MORE COMPLICATED SINCE I KNOW THAT'S A LOT MORE PRICEY THAN WHAT I CAN AFFORD RIGHT NOW, AND ALL I WANT IS FOR MY CAR TO BE IN WORKING ORDER AGAIN SINCE THIS CAR SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER SINCE IT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE SRS LIGHT HAS GONE OFF APPROXIMATELY ONCE A YEAR FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 5 YEARS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CAUSED BY A SENSOR IN THE SEAT BELT, WHICH IS COVERED BY WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE DEALER ALWAYS TRIES TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSIS FEE TO DETERMINE IF IT IS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE EVERY TIME THE LIGHT GOES OFF. IT IS ALSO A HUGE INCONVENIENCE. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. EACH TIME IT HAPPENS THE SEATBELT SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS ARE FREQUENTLY NOT WORKING. *LN

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION GO OUT TWICE IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. EACH TIME, THE GEARS START CLUNKING WHILE SHIFTING AND SHORTLY AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILS AND IS COMPLETELY USELESS. CURRENTLY, MY CAR WILL REV UP LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL AND THEN SPONTANEOUSLY SLAM INTO GEAR AND SLIP BACK INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN WHICH HAS, AGAIN, RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO MAKE THE ISSUE BETTER. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX 4CYL COUPE WHICH WAS GIVEN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 97K MILES BECAUSE OF A RECALL. IT HAS 140K MILES NOW AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN. MY HONDA DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE IT AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT THIS TIME EVEN THOUGH THIS ONE ONLY HAS $40K MILES ON IT. THEY WANT ME TO PAY $2200. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON THIS MODEL ACCORD. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE 4TH TIME. FIRST TIME @ 60,000 MILES, THAN 80,000 MILES, THAN 140,000 MILES. HONDA SUCKS... ALL THEY TELL ME NOW IS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY THE 2000 ACCORDS HAVE MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN
AFTER DRIVING MY 2000 HONDA V6 COUPE FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE, IT WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING IF SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. IT WOULD START AND THEN STALL. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT STARTED IS TO GIVE IT GAS AND SHIFT INTO GEAR QUICKLY WHICH IS DANGEROUS. ALSO THERE WAS A TSB 00-024 FOR THIS AND I GOT IT DONE FOR CLOSE TO $710. THIS REALLY ISN'T FAIR AS I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. IT IS CLEARLY A CASE OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

2000 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS... WHEN CAR GOES FROM 1ST TO 2ND IT SLIPS REALLY BAD. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN I'M BEHIND SOMEONE AND HIT THE GAS IT REVS UP AND NOTHING HAPPENS AND THEN IT CATCHES AND THE TIRES SPIN. I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE TODAY WITH A CHILD IN THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW! *TR

INTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS SHORT OUT DUE TO A SYSTEMIC DEFECT IN THE FUSE SYSTEM, WHEREIN THE FUSE WORKS ITSELF LOOSE AND THE BULBS SHORT OUT. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORD MODELS DATING BACK TO AT LEAST MY YEAR, ACCORDING TO HONDA REPRESENTATIVES. THEY TELL ME THAT EVEN THOUGH, ACCORDS WERE SUBJECTED TO RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, MY VIN WAS "OUTSIDE THE PARAMETERS" OF THE RECALL. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND CREATES A DANGEROUS NIGHT DRIVING CONDITION. OUR VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000 MILES ON IT BUT THE SHORTING OUT PROBLEM HAS BEEN EVIDENT FOR OVER TWO YEARS. IN THE PAST, IF I TAPPED ON THE DASHBOARD, THE LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON. NO LONGER. THIS SYSTEMIC DEFECT, OF WHICH HONDA IS WELL AWARE, IS DANGEROUS. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AND EVEN I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE I CANNOT DETECT THE SPEED, GASOLINE METER, WHETHER THE CAR IS OVER-HEATING, ETC, ALL REQUIRED SAFETY FEATURES UNDER PROBABLY BOTH FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA STATE LAW. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED TWICE, PAID FOR THE REPAIRS, WITHOUT SUCCESS. I AM ASKING FOR YOU AGENCY TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT AND ORDER HONDA TO RECALL ALL ACCORDS THAT MAY BE IMPACTED, WHICH COULD VERY WELL BE THE ENTIRE LINE SINCE 2000. I FIND HONDA'S ADAMANT FAILURE TO FAIRLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE TO BE SHOCKING. WHY SHOULD A CONSUMER BE FORCE TO PAY OVER $500.00 FOR A DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS EXISTS AND WILL NOT CORRECT?
