AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX IS APPROACHING 130,000 MILES. THE OTHER DAY THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE OPDS SENSOR AND BELT ASSEMBLY. I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS THE CONTROLLER UNIT WHICH HAD FAILED. I ASKED HOW A SOLID STATE COMPUTER COMPONENT WOULD FAIL OTHER THAN DEFECT AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW. I BELIEVE THAT A KEY SAFETY FEATURE SUCH AS THIS ON A CAR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON RELATED COMPONENTS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE ARE DEFECTS IN THE SRS SYSTEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH, STRUCTURE
THERE ARE 2 RECALLS ON MY YEAR, MAKE & MODEL THAT I AM EXPERIENCING. HOWEVER, HONDA CLAIMS MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I FIND IT VERY ODD THAT I COULD BE EXPERIENCING BOTH OF THE RECALLS, BUT MY CAR IS EXCLUDED. I ALSO HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THE CLEARCOAT ON '98-'02 HONDA'S PEELING. HONDA IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE CLEARCOAT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR WAS A RECALL BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE AMERICAN HONDA. THE CAR ONLY HAS 93,587 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN. WHEN I CALLED THE AMERICAN HONDA THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS A RECALL WITH THE WARRANTY THE SEVEN YEARS AND 9 MONTHS OR 109,000 MILES. OF COURSE WHEN I CALL THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I NEVER RECEIVED THAT LETTER. THEY TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE RECORD OF MY ADDRESS. *TR

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRACKING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
TWO YEARS AGO MY DASH LIGHTS WOULD JUST SUDDENLY GO OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON, MY SRS LIGHT STAYED ON AS WELL. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY RESET MY SRS LIGHT BUT TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. LAST YEAR MY DASHLIGHT PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND MY SRS LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW DRIVERS SIDE MULTIPLEX UNIT AND THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY SRS. I HAVE A 2000 2DR V6 EX. I AM NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE A SUNROOF. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
THE SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONSTANTLY FOR THE PAST WEEK. THE DEALER CHARGES $97 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. AFTER READING ABOUT ALL THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND THE FACT THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE ANY CHARGE TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A HONDA ACCORD AS A SECOND OWNER APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO AND AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS OF DRIVING STARTED TO EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THIS IS A NORMAL COMPLICATION WITH THE 2000 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX. THERE IS WEBSITE AFTER WEBSITE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I WROTE HONDA TO SEE IF THEY HAD MORE INFORMATION ON THE TYPE OF PROBLEMS THAT COULD HAPPEN FROM THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND AFTER REACHING THE HIGHEST LEVEL PERSON I COULD GET, HE TOLD ME HE HAD NO INFORMATION. AFTER ASKING IF THERE WAS ANY THING HONDA COULD DO, REALIZING THAT THEY HAVE MOVED THERE WARRANTY FROM 30,000 MILES TO 110,000 MILES TO COVER THIS PROBLEM, HE AGAIN STATED HE HAD NO INFORMATION. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE DID NOT KNOW IF THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION COULD LEAD TO A HAZARD OR NOT. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT ONCE YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT CONCERNS ARE NOT TYPICALLY COVERED, BUT THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED SAFETY HAZARD. DUE TO HONDA'S FAULTY CONSTRUCTION, MANY TRANSMISSIONS WERE REPLACED OR NEED REPLACED AT THE OWNERS COST. I WAS WONDERING WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARDS RELATED TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION (HESITATION WITH PRESSING GAS PEDAL, AND DECREASE OF USE IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR). BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY, I BELIEVE HONDA RECOGNIZES THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT LEAVE MANY INDIVIDUALS TO FIND THEIR OWN SOLUTIONS. I HAVE OWNED HONDA'S FOR YEARS AND WILL PROBABLY MAKE IT MY LAST. I AM NOW, HOWEVER, STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS VERY POSSIBLY SAFETY HAZARDS TO ME AS A DRIVER. EVEN IF THE TRANSMISSION IS REPAIRED, THERE ARE MANY CASES OF FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES OF DIFFERENT TRANSMISSIONS. AS TO DATE, I HAVE NOT HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO GET HARDER TO DRIVE. THANKS *TR
