HONDA ACCORD 2001 NEEDS NEW OPDS UNIT I NOTICED THAT MY SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW OPDS UNIT AT $6662.70. NOW THAT SEEMS UNGODLY STEEP. BUT TO TOP IT OFF WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH IT, I FIND THAT MANY HONDA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING EXACTLY THE SAME THING I AM. I THINK HONDA SHOULD REPLACE IT. *TR

VISIBILITY
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW FRACTURED, THEN SHATTERED INTO PIECES. SHARP FRAGMENTS OF GLASS INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY. HE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED BY A TECHNICIAN THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALLS, HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY AND HAD THE WINDOW REPLACED. HE HAS PICTURES OF THE FAILED COMPONENT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 140000.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A BIG RIG ON THE FREEWAY ON I-5 MONDAY AUGUST 31ST. I WAS GOING ABOUT 68/MILES AN HR WHEN THE BIG RIG HIT ME FROM THE FRONT. THE IMPACT WAS PRETTY BAD BECAUSE I HAVE CERVICAL STRAIN AND BEEN IN BED SINCE MONDAY. ALSO STRAINED MY BACK DUE TO ME BEING THROWN FORWARD N BACK EVEN WITH MY SEAT BELT ON. THE STRANGE PART IS THAT MY AIR BAG DIDN'T GO INFLATE WITH THAT MUCH IMPACT. I THINK IF THE AIR BAG WOULD'VE INFLATED THEN THAT WOULD'VE SAVED ME FROM ALL THIS INJURY. 5 YEARS AGO, I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AS WELL AND AT THAT TIME I REAR ENDED A STILL CAR GOING ABOUT 65 MILES AND AT THAT TIME THE AIR BAD DIDN'T GO OFF EITHER, MY CONCERN AT THIS POINT IS THAT THERE'S SOME DEFECT IN THE AIR BAG IN MY CAR BECAUSE IT SHOULD'VE INFLATED THIS TIME DUE TO THE IMPACT BUT IT DIDN'T. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON A 2001 HONDA ACCORD 12 DAYS AND LESS THAN 400 MILES AFTER HAVING HONDA REPLACE (REBUILD) THE TRANSMISSION. CODE 1705 (TRANSMISSION FAILURE) ON THE 7TH DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE SHOP. CAR SLAMS IN R FROM P THEN GETS STUCK IN 2ND (WON'T SHIFT) NO MATTER HAW FAST OR EVEN IF YOU MOVE THE SHIFTER. 3800 RPM'S IN 2ND GEAR ON THE FREEWAY AT 55 MPH. TOOK BACK TO HONDA ON DAY 12 AND WAS TOLD" IF ITS COVERED, THEY'LL FIX IT". IF ITS COVERED ITS 12 DAYS AND 400 MI. FROM YOUR SHOP AND YOU TREAT ME LIKE YOUR NOT RESPONSIBLE. THE CODE SHOWS 1705 (TRANS. FAILURE) THE SAME REASON YOU REPLACED THE TRANS IN THE FIRST PLACED. AFTER GETTING A SERVICE REP. TO LOOK AT IT THEY ARE ORDERING A SENSOR TO REPLACE, AND NOW ARE TELLING ME THAT IT IS THE ALARM THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. THE ALARM HAS BEEN ON THE CAR FOR A LONG TIME NOW, AND HONDA KNOWS AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS ARE USED BY A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THEIR OWNERS, SO IF IT'S THE ALARM, THERE SHOULD BE A FIX BY HONDA FOR THAT PROBLEM. WHY MY CAR WON'T SHIFT OUT OF 2ND, DOESN'T SEEM LIKE MY ALARM WOULD TELL MY TRANS. NOT TO DUE THAT. I PLACED 2 EXACTLY THE SAME ALARMS ON MY WIFE'S AND MY DAUGHTERS CARS (HONDA AND A TOYOTA) ONE'S DOING FINE !!! *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD STAYS ON. I HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT IF THE SRS LIGHT IS ON, IT IS AN INDICATOR THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY SHOULD ONE BE IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM NOT PLEASED, TO SAY THE LEAST. I ALSO READ THAT HONDA SUPPOSEDLY SENT A LETTER TO OWNERS INFORMING THEM OF THIS DEFECT. I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF RECEIVING SUCH A LETTER. THE AVERAGE COST FOR THE REPAIR IS $700.00. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECT AND SHOULD REPAIR THIS DEFECT AT THEIR COST. THE SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED MY CAR. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:VALVE
I BOUGHT 4 BRIDGESTONE WEATHERFORCE PLUS TIRES FOR MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD, SIZE P19565R15. THEY PERFORMED WELL UNTIL THE PAST MONTH WHEN, AS OF TODAY, 3 OF THEM WENT FLAT WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER. IN EACH CASE, THE PROBLEM WAS THE VALVE STEM THAT BROKE. AND IT WASN'T A SMALL LEAK. EVERY TIME, THE VALVE STEM WAS PRACTICALLY TORN FROM THE REST OF THE TIRE. I WAS LUCKY THAT TWO OF THEM WENT FLAT AS I WAS PARKING THE CAR, BUT THE LAST ONE WENT FLAT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. IT SEEMS A LITTLE STRANGE THAT ALL 3 WOULD GO FLAT IN THE EXACT SAME WAY IN SUCH A SHORT TIME SPAN, SO I BELIEVE IT IS A DEFECT WITH THE TIRES. THE TIRES HAVE ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON THEM, BUT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO GO FOR LONGER THAN THIS. NOW, I'M JUST WONDERING WHEN THE FOURTH ONE WILL GO AND I HOPE IT'S NOT WHEN I'M NOT CLOSE TO HOME. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:VALVE
I BOUGHT SET OF YOKOHAMA TIRES IN DECEMBER 06 FROM TIRE KINGDOM. SOON AFTER INSTALLATION I HAD A "FLAT TIRE" ON TRIP FROM FLORIDA TO NEW JERSEY (MY HOME). I FOUND A TIRE KINGDOM STORE IN THE CAROLINAS, LUCKILY. THEY REPLACED THE TIRE VALVE. IN 2 YEAR+ SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 4-5-6 FLAT TIRES, ALWAYS THE VALVE, RATHER THAN A PUNCTURE. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER, BUT WHEN MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED (LAST WEEK, AGAIN VALVE FAILURE) I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THE RE-CALL OF DILL VALVES. I CALLED DILL TO SEE WHAT KIND OF COMPENSATION I CAN GET. NOT MUCH ($ 4.00/PER INCIDENT !!! ) I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M HOPING TO GET. I AM UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THIS, BUT I GUESS I'M LUCKY I DIDN'T HAVE SERIOUS ACCIDENT DURING THESE MANY TIRE FAILURES. DOES NHTSA HAVE ANY COMMENT OR RECOMMENDATIONS? *TR
