AIR BAGS
AFTER YEARS OF PAYING $100 A SHOT TO HAVE MY HONDA ACCORD SRS LIGHT ANALYZED AND TURNED OFF, THE OPDS WAS REPLACED UNDER HONDA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. GUESS WHAT? THE SRS LIGHT CAME BACK ON A WEEK LATER. I'M TOLD BY HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE TO GO BACK TO A DEALER, PAY ANOTHER $100 FOR ANOTHER EVALUATION. THEY ALSO SAID I COULD GET REIMBURSED FOR ALL THE TIMES I ALREADY PAID THE FEE IF I COULD GET THE SERVICE HISTORY FROM THE DEALERS. GUESS HOW COOPERATIVE THE DEALERSHIPS ARE BEING AT PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION? I WONDER HOW MUCH THE COMPANY HAS MADE OFF OF THIS "DEFECT" AND HOW MANY PEOPLE -- LIKE MYSELF -- ARE STILL DRIVING AROUND WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WONDERING IF MY AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT? MY NYS INSPECTION IS COMING UP AND I'M NOT GOING TO PASS UNLESS I PAY YET AGAIN FOR THIS LIGHT TO BE EVALUATED AND SIMPLY SHUT OFF...ONLY TO TURN ON AGAIN IN DAYS. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
AIRBAG MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON. CREATING A CRITICAL AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT AND IS COVERED BY LAW AS STATED BY NHTSA ON THERE WEB SITE UNDER VOQ AND RECALL BOOKLET. THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION CREATES A SITUATION IN WHICH COULD CAUSE DEATH AND CRITICAL INJURIES TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. THEY REFUSE 100% TO REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION. THEY REFUSED TO LET ME SPEAK TO A DEPT. SUPERVISOR. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE DEPT. SUPERVISOR NEVER CONTACTS OR SPEAKS TO ANY CUSTOMER. STATING THAT THIS WAS THE WAY THEY DO BUSINESS. I SPOKE TO MR. TODD YAMATSUKA AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. AT AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I TOLD HIM MORE THAN ONE TIME THAT THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION WAS A CRITICAL SAFETY RELATED DEFECT AND I ALSO INFORMED HIM THAT BY REFUSING TO REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION WOULD BE A VIOLATION UNDER NHTSA LAW REQUIREMENTS. HE EVEN OFFERED ME WHAT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A BRIBE, STATING THAT HE COULD GET ME FREE SPARK PLUGS, DIST.CAP, AND WIRES. I REFUSED TO ACCEPT THIS. IN ORDER TO END THIS CONVERSATION I ASK FOR THE LAST TIME IF HE WAS GOING TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION HE STATED NO. PS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT OEM STANDS FOR PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN EVER POSSIBLE. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THERE IS NO APPARENT PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THIS LIGHT IS ON AND DEALERSHIP WANTS TONS OF MONEY TO FIX IT. SINCE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY FEATURE, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS COMMON PROBLEM AND I THINK YOU REALLY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. *NM

SUSPENSION:REAR
I PURCHASE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD 4DR.SEDAN, S/E NEW IN 2000. ON APRIL 18,2005 WHILE HAVING THE OIL/FILTER CHANGED AT HONDA WEST IN LAS VEGAS, NV I WAS INFORMED THAT A SWAY BAR LINK WAS BROKEN. IT WAS REPLACED BY THAT DEALERSHIP AT A COST OF $103.58 TO ME. I SAW THE BROKEN PART AND IT APPEARED TO HAVE BROKEN AT THE WELD ON THAT PART. THAT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE. ON SEPT 17, 2006, I WAS HAVING THE OIL/FILTER CHANGED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE "SWAY BAR LINK" ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BROKEN, I SAW THAT ALSO AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE BROKEN AT THE WELD LIKE THE ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE A YEAR BEFORE. AT THIS POINT I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA OF AMERICA AND THEY SAY THAT THE RECALL YOU SHOW ON JULY 12, 2000, CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 00V184000 DOES NOT EFFECT MY VEHICLE. NOTE I DID NOT GET THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED IN LAS VEGAS, AND I HAVE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE BROKE PART NOW REPLACED BY BATTLE CREEK HONDA PROBABLY ON WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY THIS WEEK. I WILL GET THE BROKEN PART THIS TIME. *NM

AIR BAGS
THE SRS LIGHT COMES ON BY ITSELF. THIS MEANS THAT AIRBAGS WON'T BE DEPLOYED IN A CRASH. THE DEALER SAID IT WILL SCOST ~ 1000-1500 $ TO FIX IT. AIRBAGS SHOULD BE COVERED FOR LIFETIME. READING THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/2001/SEAT_BELTS_AIR_BAGS/SRS_LIGHT_KEEPS_COMING_ON.SHTML THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD NOT WORK. I CALLED MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT "SOME" OF THE 2000 ACCORDS WERE COVERED IN BY AN EXTENDED (10 YEAR, 150K MILE) WARRANTY FOR THIS SYSTEM. HOWEVER, WHEN THEY RAN THE VIN ON MY 2000 ACCORD, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MINE WAS NOT COVERED. THEY COULD GIVE ME NO ANSWER AS TO WHY SOME OF 2000 WERE COVERED BUT MINE, WHICH HAS THIS CRITICAL SAFETY PROBLEM, WAS NOT. HONDA IS MAKING A BIG MISTAKE WITH THIS VITAL SAFETY ISSUE. *JB

AT AROUND 43,000 MILES, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN OUR 2000 HONDA ACCORD. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $60 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THEN A CHARGE FOR FIXING THE DEFECTIVE PART. I ASKED WHAT WOULD BE THE COST TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG, IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME THE COST. *NM

CHILD SEAT:HARNESS/CROTCH BUCKLE
OUR HONDA ACCORD 2000 SE WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A PICKUP TRUCK. THE CAR WAS TOTALED, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOU AWARE HOW OUR SON WAS INJURED. OUR SON WAS IN A CENTURY 44164ELM CAR SEAT SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER (MY WIFE). THE METAL BUCKLE THAT IS USED TO ADJUST THE SEAT BELT SIZE (IN THE BACK) SHEARED FROM THE PLASTIC DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT. AS A RESULT THE UPPER PART OF OUR SON'S BODY BECAME A PROJECTILE AND THE SEAT BELT DID NOT KEEP HIM IN THE CAR SEAT. OUR SON'S HEAD LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE SEAT REST IN FRONT HIM. DUE TO THE IMPACT HE SUFFERED A SKULL FRACTURE, AND FORTUNATELY EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW. I HAVE THE CAR SEAT SAVED IF CENTURY WANTS TO SEE IT. IN MY OPINION IT SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE THIS IS UNSAFE. IT IS NOT ON CENTURY'S RECALL LIST IT SEEMS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, MY HONDA ACCORD EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DASHBOARD. THE LIGHT WOULD FLICKER OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING DURING THE NIGHT. EVENTUALLY THAT FLICKERING STOPPED AND THE WHOLE INTERIOR LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. I TOOK IT IN TO A CERTIFIED ASE AUTO MECHANIC AND HE SAID THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND TO CHECK MY MAIL AND FILES FOR ANY LETTERS. I FOUND A LETTER IN MY FILES DATING BACK TO JULY 2004 STATING A SAFETY RECALL ON 2000-2001 ACCORD LX V6 MODELS FOR THE MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT IN THE DASHBOARD HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO HEAT BUILDUP AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE INSIDE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FAIRFAX HONDA DEALER IN VIRGINIA AND THEY COULD NOT HONOR MY RECALL BECAUSE MY VIN# DID NOT CALL FOR IT. I CONTACTED HONDA CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS LISTED AS A HONDA ACCORD LX 4-CYLINDER. I SPOKE TO A REP. NAMED ANDREA. AFTER CHECKING MY FILES MORE THOROUGHLY, THEY CONFIRMED MY CAR WAS A HONDA ACCORD EX V6. THE RECALL WAS FOR A LX V6, NOT A EX V6. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE EX HAS A DIFFERENT TRIM THEN THE LX, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME, DUE TO HEAT BUILD UP THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MAY NOT DISPLAY LIGHTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR A DRIVER AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. HONDA CORPORATION SHOULD PROVIDE A WORKAROUND OR TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR DEFECT. *NM
