AIR BAGS
MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO A SAFETY ITEM, THE AIRBAGS OF THE CAR. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (OPEN ROAD HONDA) THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST 105 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THEN FROM THERE IT WOULD BE ADDITIONAL COSTS. I READ ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT ALL SAFETY ITEMS SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO COST. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT ONLY SAFETY BELTS ARE UNDER THAT WARRANTY. I'M VERY UNHAPPY. I LOOKED AROUND SOME WEBSITES AND OTHER DEALERS HAVE FIXED IT FOR NO COST. WHY IS MY LOCAL DEALER ASKING ME FOR 105 JUST TO DIAGNOSE A SAFETY PRODUCT ON MY CAR? IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT MY AIRBAGS ON! I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING IT SINCE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I BOUGHT THE CAR WAS BECAUSE IT HAS AIRBAGS. NOW THEY DON'T WORK. *JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES AND THE SENSOR SYSTEM IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THAT DETECTS WHETHER A PERSON IS PROPERLY SEATED IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE MY SRS WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYS ON DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. I AM UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED GIVEN ITS EARLY FAILURE RATE SINCE I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA/ACURA CUSTOMER FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I HOPE THERE IS A RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS MANY 2000-2001 ACCORDS/3.2TL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY "MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP' ON MY 6 CYLINDER 2000 HONDA ACCORD CAME ON. THE DEALER LET ME KNOW THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTICS POINTED TO A PROBLEM WITH CYLINDER #4. HE HAD ME AUTHORIZE A $1000 "TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE" ESTIMATE IN CASE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THE REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA CORP SENT THEIR ADJUSTER TO DETERMINE THAT IT WAS EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALER HAD THE PARTS SENT TO A MACHINIST TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS A DAMAGED PART IN THE CYLINDER THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A $2300 APPROXIMATE REPAIR BILL TO PAY ON MY OWN IF NO DAMAGE IS FOUND. NOT THAT LONG AGO, I SPENT $300 AT THE DEALERSHIP CLEANING A CARBON BUILD UP PROBLEM THAT WAS CAUSING MY ACCELERATOR TO STICK. *NM

CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON - MAKING DRIVER THINKING THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ENGINE. SINCE I HAVE A CHILD I TOOK MY CAR TO MANCHESTER HONDA, FOUND THAT MY GAS CAP WAS NOT ON TIGHT. MANCHESTER HONDA CHARGED ME $163 AND THIS IS THE BIGGEST SCAM HONDA EVER DOES THIS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE DID THEY DO THIS TOO...*NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX, MY SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE REPAIR. THEN RECENTLY, I RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM HONDA SAYING THE SRS HAS HAD PROBLEMS AND IF YOU HAD OR HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, THEY WILL REPAIR IT FREE OF CHARGE. HOWEVER, IT IS A 10 YR OR 150,000 MI. LIMIT. WELL, I COMMUTE TO WORK AND I HAVE OVER 197,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE, I JUST HAVE TO USE MY CAR MORE. I FEEL IF THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM IS DEFECTIVE PARTS AND A SAFETY ISSUE, THERE SHOULD BE NO QUESTION THAT EVERYONE IS COVERED. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX BATTERY FINALLY DIED. A NEW BATTERY WAS REPLACED THE SAME DAY AND NOW THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON AND WON'T GO AWAY. I CONTACTED A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $90 JUST FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THE COST OF REPAIR. I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND REALIZED THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY HONDA AND ACURA CAR MODELS AFTER ANY POWER RELATED ISSUE. *JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
SRS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. DID SOME RESEARCH FOUND A LOT OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS. HAVE THE LIGHT RESET ONCE, BUT THE SRS LIGHT CAME BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER. SEARCHED NHTSA DOT WEBSITE, FOUND, HONDA RECENTLY ISSUED RECALL ON DEFECTED AIRBAG SENSOR. I THOUGHT MY CAR IS THE SAME PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, DIAGNOSESD AS AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT NEED REPLACEMENT WHICH WILL COST OVER $900. DECLINE THE FIX. BUT HAVE TO PAY $90 FOR CHECKING IT OUT. THIS LIGHT WILL REMIND ME HOW BAD HONDA TREAT IT'S DEFECT ON SAFETY FEATURE. AND HOW IRONIC IT CLAIM IN THE RECENT AD THAT IT CARES ABOUT SAFETY NOT ONLY INSIDE THE CAR BUT ALSO OUTSIDE THE CAR. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, EQUIPMENT
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A SET OF 2000 HONDA ACCORD 1 PIECE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS FROM 4CAROPTION.COM. FEW DAYS AFTER I INSTALLED THE HEADLIGHTS I GOT PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER AND WAS ASKED TO PUT BACK MY ORIGINAL HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE I AM REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE AN AMBER REFLECTOR ON MY HEADLIGHTS. 4CAROPTION.COM NEVER ADVISED ME ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS' DESIGN IS AGAINST THE LAW. I CALLED 4CAROPTION TO ASK FOR A FULL REFUND, BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME HALF OF THE PAYMENT BACK SINCE I INSTALLED THE HEADLIGHTS ALREADY. NM

AIR BAGS
MY SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) WARNING LIGHT WENT ON. THIS IS SERIOUS BECAUSE WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, HONDA TOLD ME, THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE DISENGAGED. I TOOK THE 2006 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN V6 TO THE DEALER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS PROBLEM, 02-077 DATED DEC 17, 2002. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE $1600 TO FIX. I READ THE SERVICE BULLETIN. IT STATES THAT THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO STATIC ELECTRICITY PROBLEM IN THE SYSTEM. AS AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER THIS MEANS THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND THE BULLETIN CAME OUT WHILE MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, HONDA, EAST COAST HEADQUARTERS, HAS ONLY OFFERED TO COVER PARTS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS NOT JUST MY PROBLEM AND THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES RELATED TO A SRS LIGHT. AGAIN, WHEN THE SRS LIGHT IS ON, AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. *JB
