AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
SHORTLY AFTER DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG INFLATER RECALL SERVICE, SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND DEALER REALIZED DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHILE SEAT BELT SYSTEM SHOULD BE COVERED BY LIFETIME WARRANTY, HONDA EXCLUDED ELECTRIC SWITCH WITH THE BUCKLE. DEALER TOLD ME THE ONLY TIME YOU REPLACE THE BUCKLE IS DUE TO THE ELECTRIC SWITCH INSIDE. TO ME AND MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, THIS IS A HONDA MANUFACTURING DEFECTS OR SERIAL SAFETY DESIGN ISSUE BECAUSE - HONDA CLAIMS TO COVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE UNDER LIFETIME WARRANTY, BUT NOT THE ELECTRIC SWITCH INSIDE. AND ONLY TIME WHEN THE BUCKLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IS WHEN THE SWITCH GOES BAD. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HONDA 2001 ACCORD V6 HAS STUTTERING START PROBLEM , OCCASIONALLY ENGINE STOPS AFTER STARTING. I CONTACTED HONDA USA WHO SAID THAT THERE WAS AN ADVISORY ABOUT IT BUT REFUSED TO COMPENSATE ME FOR REPLACING THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM). I WENT AHEAD AND HAD THE ECM FIXED AS I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE CAR WOULD "DIE" ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. I NOW READ THAT OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE REPLACING THE ECM AS PART OF A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY IMPLICATION OF THIS ISSUE. THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATE DATE INSERTED FOR YOUR ADVISORY COMPLETION. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THE PROBLEM OCCURS IN SPRING AND FALL DUE TO GAS FORMULATION CHANGES. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO STOP SHIFTING INTO GEAR. DRIVING, IT WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND I WOULD HAVE TO SHIFT IT INTO ANOTHER GEAR TO GET IT TO MOVE. THIS WOULD FAIL AND I WOULD SHIFT IT INTO ANOTHER GEAR. STARTING FROM RED LIGHT--10 TO 15 SECONDS WITH NO RESPONSE FROM CAR--VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN. TOOK TO HONDA DEALER--NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION--COST $3,400. RIDICULOUS. CAR HAS ONLY 58,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I'M HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD LX. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY AFTER STARTING THE CAR WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. THE CAR HAS 91K MILES ON IT. I HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE AROUND 2004. AT THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. HONDA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. HONDA ALSO EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION TO 7 YRS DUE TO KNOWN DEFECT THIS MODEL AND DUE TO COMPLAINS FROM MANY CONSUMERS. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET, IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD WITH 2001 ACCORD AND HONDA REFUSES TO RECALL OR PAY FOR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. *TR
