THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON SINCE. MY CAR IS GARAGED, HAS 48,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS SUFFERED NO ACCIDENTS. YOUR LISTING SHOWS THAT MANY OTHER HONDA ACCORDS HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY DEVICE I FEEL NHTSA SHOULD TREAT THIS SERIOUSLY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT
HONDA HAD SUPPOSEDLY UNDER A HIDDEN WARRANTY SWAPPED OUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED THE FIRST TIME,IDENTICAL PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN D4 ON THE DASH STARTS BLINKING AND I COULD ONLY DRIVE TO 3RD GEAR. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART ITS OK UNTIL I DRIVE FOR A FEW MINUTES. RANDOMLY THE CAR WILL REV BUT THE CAR WON'T GO FORWARD UNTIL IT JERKS VIOLENTLY AND CATCHES GEAR. NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY WILL NOT UPHOLD THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE MY MILEAGE WAS OVER. TECHNICALLY AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR IN THE SAME AMOUNT MILEAGE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED BUT THEY TOLD ME FROM THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR I AM OVER THE MILEAGE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX 4-DOOR WITH 4 CYLINDER ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND THE AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, YOU CAN THEN REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THIS INDICATES A FAILURE OF THE IGNITION SWITCHED INTERLOCK FUNCTION. I CALLED HONDA AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR HAD NO RECALL NOTICES FOR IT'S V.I.N. NUMBER. I AM AWARE THAT THEIR WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM REF:NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V025000 & NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE05002 . HONDA SHOULD REMEDY THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT COULD RESULT IN A POSSIBLE CRASH OF THE VEHICLE AND SINCE THEIR WAS A PAST HISTORY OF THIS DEFECT. *TR THANKS DALE CLAPPER

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY CAR IS A HONDA ACCORD 2000 4 DOOR. I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE IN THIS CAR. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN 2006 THE SECOND WAS APRIL 2009. I HAD ONLY DRIVEN 50,000 MILES BEFORE I NEEDED THE SECOND TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE LASTED MORE THAN 50000 MILES. BOTH TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WAS DONE AT A DEALERSHIP WITH HONDA PARTS. *TR

SEATS
AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE FRONT SEAT CAME UN-WELDED ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO TILT BACK AND FORTH. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT, IT NEEDED TO BE WELDED. AUTO REPAIR SAID THAT IT COULDN'T BE WELDED, I NEEDED AT LEAST A NEW SEAT FRAME ($300-$400) OR POSSIBLY A WHOLE NEW SEAT ($800-$900).*TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE WINDOW REGULATORS AND POWER DOOR LOCKS ON THE HONDA'S I OWN KEEP FAILING AND COST MORE THAN 300 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM ON THE HONDA'S. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON ALL 4 DOORS OF MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND 2 DOORS ON MY 2004 HONDA PILOT. HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A SYSTEMIC ISSUE IN THE CAR, WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS YOU CAN'T PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN OR UP ONCE THIS HAPPENS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I CURRENTLY OWN A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX V4. WHILE DRIVING MY SON TO SCHOOL LAST WEEK FRIDAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE D4 LIGHT ALSO BEGAN TO BLINK. MY CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER AND WHILE PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. WITH OTHER CARS BEHIND ME THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A HUGE ACCIDENT WITH MY SON IN THE CAR. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP, I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT AND THIS COULD COST UP TO $3000. I WENT TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THEY CHANGED THE SOLENOIDS. AFTER A WEEK OF DRIVING FINE, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE BRINGING MY SON TO SCHOOL. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP TO HAVE THE TORQUE CONVERTER CHANGED OR TO POSSIBLY HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. WHILE SEARCHING ONLINE, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH EARLY 2000 HONDA ACCORDS AND ALL THAT HAS BEEN DONE IS AN EXTENSION ON THIS WARRANTY WHICH DOES ME NO GOOD SINCE I AM PAST IT. ANYTHING DONE TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE A BIG HELP ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR IN MOVING TRAFFIC. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ISSUE AT HAND INVOLVES A 2000 HONDA ACCORD (COUPE); I AM ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK. I AM NOT SURE OF WHEN THIS ISSUE BEGAN. HOWEVER, IN MID-2008, I MISTAKENLY LEFT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND REMOVED THE KEY WHEN PARKING MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT, I LEFT THE PARKING LOT AND MY CAR PROCEEDED TO ROLL BACKWARD AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE AT SOME POINT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MONTH. AFTER THIS POINT, I RESEARCHED RECALL INFORMATION AND SAW THAT IN 2005, NHTSA ISSUED CAMPAIGN 05V025000. I TOOK MY CAR INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE INVESTIGATED. MY VEHICLE DID INDEED HAVE THE SAME ISSUE (MALFUNCTIONING INTERLOCK) AS THE ONE IN THE RECALL, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THAT RECALL. IT SEEMS ODD TO ME THAT THOUGH MY CAR FALLS INTO THE DATE RANGE, MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS RECALL AND POSSESSES THE SAME ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS IS A COINCIDENCE. I AM IN DANGER OF LOSING COVERAGE AS A RESULT OF THIS MALFUNCTION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION AND CLOGGING. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 626561 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)). THE FAILURE EXCEEDED THE CONSTRAINTS FOR THE VOLUNTARY WARRANTY EXTENSION CAMPAIGN; THEREFORE, THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS. SHE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WOULD SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG WAS INOPERATIVE. ON ONE OCCASION, A VEHICLE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE OCCUPANT SUSTAINED MODERATE INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

SEATS
2000 ACCORD SEDAN, BRACKET THAT ATTACHES DRIVER'S SEAT BOTTOM TO SEAT BASE FRACTURED AT LEFT FRONT WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPY RAILROAD CROSSING, CAUSING SEAT TO LURCH BACK, NEARLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. NOW, SEAT LURCHES BACK WITH EVERY ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. HONDA STATES THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY ACTION AVAILABLE AND STATES THAT NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE02072 IS INAPPLICABLE AS THERE IS NO RECALL CODE FOR MY VIN IN THEIR INTERNAL SYSTEM. THEIR ONLY PROPOSED CORRECTION ACTION IS A $ 1,500 PLUS REPLACEMENT OF THE SEAT TRACK, AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2000 HONDA ACCORDS TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 93,000 MILES. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (CASE NO. RG 03099677) WAS WON IN CALIFORNIA IN 2006 EXTENDING THE WARRANTY OF THE 2000-2001 ACCORDS TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 93 MONTHS/ 109,000 MILES. HONDA DEALER DIAGNOSED NEED FOR TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT (APPROX $2800) DUE TO TRANSMISSION SLIPPING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND WHEN CAR STOPPING, JUMPING AND STUTTERING. CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SERVICED REGULARLY. I CONTACTED HONDA OF AMERICA CORPORATE ABOUT A GOODWILL GESTURE DUE TO CAR BEING UNDER IN MILES OF WARRANTY, BUT OVER IN MONTHS BASED ON DATE OF CAR PURCHASE. WAS INFORMED BY CASE MANAGER (CASE NO.N012009-01-2200226) THAT WARRANTY IS "UP" IN CAR AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP IN REPAIR. *TR
