AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
I & MY INLAW BOUGHT THE 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX IN THE SAME WEEK (9/1999), AFTER 7 YEARS, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME WITH NO INCIDENTS OCCURRED. ALSO IN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED HONDA MANUFACTURER, THEY REJECTED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLE THEY COVER UP TO 10 YEARS ON THE OPDS (OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM) UNIT, WHICH FAILED AND CAUSED THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX IS ON. THIS INDICATES A DEFECT IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, INCREASING MY RISK FOR INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT. HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY AS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 WITH ABOUT 94,000 MILES HAS THE SRS LIGHT ON PERMANENTLY. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE PROVIDED TO ME BY THE DEALER IS 5-8, WHICH IS INTERNAL SRS FAILURE, AND REQUIRES THE SRS UNIT TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT WARRANTY EXTENSION (CAMPAIGN CODE Q08, SERVICE BULLETIN 06-009) FOR OPDS. GIVEN THAT THE PART IS INTEGRAL TO THE SAFETY SYSTEM, IT SEEMS THAT SHOULD HAVE A MUCH LONGER WARRANTY. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT IN TWO YEARS, AND PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS WERE MINOR REAR END COLLISIONS (IMPACTING THE REAR OF MY CAR). THERE WAS NO INCIDENT TO CAUSE THE SRS LIGHT TO REMAIN ON. *TR

AIR BAGS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, TIRES, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT MY HONDA ACCORD THIS SEPTEMBER. IT HAD A REBUILT TITLE DUE TO MINOR DENTS AND BLEMISHES TO THE OUTSIDE. NO MAJOR WRECKS. LOOKED AND SEEMED IN GOOD CONDITION. DEALER ASSURED ME THAT ALL OF HIS CARS WERE INSURANCE CLAIMS DUE TO MINOR EXTERIOR WEAR. HE DIDN'T TAKE ANY CARS THAT HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN WRECKS. HE WAS AN "ENGINEER" AND DIDN'T NEED TO SCREW PEOPLE OVER FOR MONEY. I HAD MY MECHANIC INSPECT IT RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT HAD A 30 DAY RETURN POLICY, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. MY REGULAR MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE WAS FINE BUT THERE WERE MINOR THINGS I NEEDED SUCH AS; NEW ROTORS, NEW TIRES, AND SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. HIS SECRETARY SAID THESE WERE ALL OPTIONAL THINGS TO HAVE FIXED. 1 MONTH LATER...THE RADIATOR GOES BAD AND MUST BE REPLACED. MY REGULAR MECHANIC CHARGES ME $600.00 DOLLARS FOR THE PROCEDURE. I COMPARE PRICES AND FIND A BETTER PRICE FOR THE SAME RADIATOR. UNFORTUNATELY, MY REGULAR MECHANIC STILL CHARGES ME $70.00 FOR HIS OPINION. I GO TO THE CHEAPER PLACE, GET A NEW RADIATOR AND HAVE MY ROTORS REPLACED. SINCE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER OWNING THE CAR I NOTICE THAT THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. A $80.00 DIAGNOSTIC CHECK WAS PERFORMED AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. MY MECHANIC DIDN'T NOTICE IT WHEN HE DROVE IT. I STILL DON'T KNOW IF MY AIRBAGS WORK! A MONTH AFTER THAT..TRANSMISSION GOES BAD WHEN IN REVERSE. MAKES A TERRIBLE GRINDING OF METAL SOUND AND LURCHES WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. PROBABLY NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH I HAVE NO WAY TO PAY FOR. LUCKILY, IT IS ONLY A PROBLEM DURING THE COLD AND/OR WHEN I FIRST START THE ENGINE. IM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR AND MYSELF! BECAUSE I'VE HAD 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE ASSURE ME THE CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE, ONLY TO FIND OUT ABOUT OR HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM OCCUR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN MY MYSTERY CAR! I BOUGHT A HONDA AFTER BEING A LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY HAD THE BEST REPUTATION FOR LONG LASTING VEHICLES. I'M THINKING I MADE A MISTAKE. PLEASE HELP LESSEN MY WORRIES. *TR

MY CAR'S SRS AIRBAG INDICATOR HAS TURNED ON, AND THE SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR TURNS ON THEN AND NOW. I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2000/01 HONDA ACCORDS. THE AIRBAGS WONT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF THIS INDICATOR EVEN THOUGH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS NOT FAULTY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REMOVE HIS KEY FROM THE IGNITION BY ACCIDENT. THE LOCAL DEALER STATED THAT THE LOCKING CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THEY DID NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 71,000. UPDATED 01/09/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED INADVERTENTLY REMOVED KEY FROM IGNITION WHILE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THE CONSUMER STATED REINSTALLED KEYS AND STEPPED ON BRAKE FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE WITH 85K. MY SRS LIGHT RECENTLY CAME ON AND HONDA WANTS A $100 TO CHECK IT OUT. MY COUSIN HAS THE SAME EXACT VEHICLE AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I DECIDED TO GOOGLE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVEN'T TAKING THE CAR IN YET TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. BUT HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE SOME SORT OF RECALL SINCE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM AND WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON THE SAFETY SYSTEMS SUCH AS THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK. *TR

SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE IT "LOOKED AT." RECENTLY, THE O2 SENSOR CAME ON AND I'VE MADE 3 TRIPS TO HAVE IT FIXED. IT WILL COST ME 420.20 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM SOLVED. I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT RECALLS FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, AND AS A SENIOR, I'D SURE APPRECIATE SOME HELP. THIS DOESN'T SEEM FAIR. *TR

KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHILE THE GEAR INDICATOR IS IN "D". IF THE CAR IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE, IT CAN BEGIN TO ROLL ONCE THE BRAKE IS DISENGAGED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL WITH THIS SPECIFIC DEFECT, BUT MY ACCORD'S VIN "DOES NOT QUALIFY" FOR THE RECALL. DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPLACE MECHANISM AT MY EXPENSE. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I NOTICED WHEN I STOPPED MY CAR MADE AN ABNORMAL IDOL NOISE. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHO PROCEEDED TO INFORM ME THAT THE SPARK PLUG IN MY CAR WAS STRIPPED AND THE THREADING COILS WERE NOW COMPLETELY STRIPPED AS WELL AND THE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS REPLACED. THE SPARK PLUG IN THE CAR IS A GENUINE HONDA SPARK PLUG WHICH IF THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR THEN IT MUST HAVE BEEN POOR WORKMANSHIP. HONDA IS ONLY WILLING TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE DAMAGE (TOTAL COST IS $2000.75) I AM STUCK BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD PAY FOR DAMAGES THAT WERE INCURRED WHILE THE SPARK PLUGS WERE PLACED BY HONDA. *JB

CUSTOMER STATES HONDA SHOULD FIX HIS VEHICLE WITH NO CHARGE SINCE HE WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS. *KB THE CONSUMER LEARNED THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 WHICH EVER CAME FIRST, HOWEVER THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE HAS EXCEEDED THE 150,000 MARK. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE SRS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY BATTERY AND CABLE. SEARS INSPECTED THE BATTERY AND FOUND NO FAILURES. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A SHORT IN THE BOARD. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND NUMBER OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 79,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 01/11/08. *LJ THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX-V6. MY SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT RESET BY THE DEALER, AND IT COST ME $100. THEY ALSO CLAIMED IT WAS MY FRONT IMPACT SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN BUMPED OR HAD AN ACCIDENT SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT, SO I FAIL TO SEE HOW THAT COULD BREAK. NOW, THE SECOND TIME, THE SRS LIGHT HAS AGAIN COME ON AND HAS BEEN ON MY DASH FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT I WILL NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONAL DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IF EVER I AM HIT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SRS LIGHT SITUATION ON YOUR SITE AND MANY OTHERS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM WARRANTS A RECALL, AS THE DEALER IS SET TO CHARGE ME CLOSE TO $400 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AND STILL CANNOT GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE LONG-TERM. SINCE THIS IS SO PREVALENT, WHY IS THIS NOT A PRIORITY??? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR SOME SORT OF CAMPAIGN, BECAUSE FRANKLY, MANY OF US FEEL VERY UNSAFE. *JB UPDATED 01/02/08. *LJ UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

I OWNED A HONDA ACCORD 2000 EX MODEL. WE BOUGHT FROM DEALER AS NEW.5 YEARS AGO, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK TO THE DEALER IN ATLANTA GEORGIA (BEFORE WE MOVED TO CALIFORNIA), THEIR SERVICE ATTITUDE WAS EXTREMELY BAD. AND TOLD US THAT WE NEED TO PAID FOR OUR DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND COULD COST US $1,500 TO FIX IT I WAS EXTREMELY MAD AND CALLED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE IN TORRANCE. THEY WERE VERY BAD TOO. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. THE SERVICE WAS OUTRAGEOUS BAD. THE SRS CONCERN THE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG AND SHOULD BE A LIFETIME WARRANTY. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT SO MANY HONDA ACCORD OWNERS HAVE THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. WE SUGGEST NHTS MAKE THIS CASE WITH HONDA AND ASK THEM TO PUT THIS ISSUE AS LIFETIME WARRANTY HONDA NORTH AMERICA IS VERY BAD. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX-V6 COUPE AND FOR ABOUT ABOUT A WEEK NOW THE SRS LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT. I CONTACTED HONDA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A RECALL AND WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER AFTER 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES (WHICH EVER CAME FIRST) I HAVE 188,000 ON MY CAR SO I DID SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND WAS STUNNED TO FIND SO MANY PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION TO GET THE SRS LIGHT OFF. SO IF I AM IN A ACCIDENT WILL THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY? I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD FIND OUT BEFORE A DEATH RESULTS FROM THIS ISSUE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD DEFINITELY BE LOOKED INTO. PLEASE DO A LITTLE RESEARCH AND REQUIRE HONDA TO DO A RECALL. *TR
