AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
I HAVE A SRS LIGHT THAT CONTINUES TO COME ON IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX V6. I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT CHARGE PEOPLE RIDICULOUS PRICES TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. ONE OF THE REASONS I PURCHASED THE CAR WAS BECAUSE IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ONE OF THE SAFEST, BOY WAS I WRONG. I TRAVEL OVER 500 MILES A WEEK AND MY FAMILY DEPENDS ON ME TO COME HOME EVERYDAY. GOD FORBID I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DON'T DEPLOY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THE WEB IS FLOODED WITH COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX V6 4DOOR SEDAN. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, THE ENGINE FAILED TO START AFTER IT WAS SHUT OFF FOR 5-10 MINUTES. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. EACH TIME I TRY TO RESTART THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE WOULD TURNOVER AND RUN FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND THEN STALLED. EACH TIME I WOULD HAVE TO DEPRESS THE GAS TO GET THE ENGINE GOING AND IF I RELEASE THE GAS, THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT'S RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND JUST DIE. THE STRANGE PART IS IF I CAN GET THE CAR IN GEAR AND DRIVE WITH THE GAS APPLIED FOR ABOUT ONE BLOCK, THE ENGINE WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE TO DEPRESS THE GAS AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME SO THE VEHICLE WOULD STAY IN CONTROL. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HOOKED UP SOME KIND OF COMPUTER TO THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM. THE ACCORD IS A NICE CAR BUT THIS CONSTANT ENGINE-STARTING PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THE SRS LIGHT IS LIT ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $84 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER THEN CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE OPDS SENSOR IS NOT WORKING AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHILE THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALER, I GOT ON THE INTERNET AND RESEARCHED THE SRS LIGHT ON ACCORDS. I FOUND OUT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN, DATED APRIL 23, 2004, ISSUED BY HONDA FOR ALL 2000 2-DOOR ACCORDS (AS WELL AS MANY OTHER MODELS) DECLARING THE SRS INDICATOR COMES ON WITH SRS DTC 15-1, 15-2, 15-3 , AND PROBABLE CAUSE IS A FAULTY OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM (OPDS) UNIT. WITH THAT SAID, BOTH THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., ARE AWARE OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN, AND THE FAULTY PARTS THEY SOLD IN THEIR AUTOMOBILES AND NEITHER ARE WILLING TO REPLACE THE OPDS SENSOR. *NM

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD V6. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR UNTIL RECENTLY. MY DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS LOCKED AND WILL NOT OPEN. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST APPROX. 800.00 TO FIX. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. I AM WORKING WITH HONDA TO TRY AND GET THEM TO FIX IT. I JUST HOPE THAT THE OTHER SIDE DOES NOT DO THAT. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I WOULD HATE TO HAVE MY 4 YR. OLD NIECE WITH ME AND SOMETHING HAPPEN AND WE COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR. IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT COULD BE REPORTED PUBLICLY ABOUT THIS, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE LATCHES ON THE DOORS. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX STALLS AND DIES OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS FOR SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH AT 46000 MILES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE ON THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THEY SAY THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE FOR THIS. HOWEVER AFTER READING MANY CUSTOMER COMPLIANT ON A WEB SITE I FOUND THAT IT IS DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS WITH IN THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT WEAR PREMATURELY CAUSING THE SWITCH TO MALFUNCTION THUS STALLING THE VEHICLE. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
DT: AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THE CONSUMER WENT TO A DEALER, AND THE DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM FOR THE SRS AIR BAGS. THIS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR THE TIME BEING. AFTERWARDS, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE DEALER NOTED THIS WAS AN ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE OR AN ISSUE WITH OCCUPANCY FOR THE SRS. THE CONSUMER PAID FOR THE RESET BOTH ON INCIDENTS. NOW, THE DEALER SAID THE OPDS OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT REPLACED THIS BECAUSE HE FELT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. NO OTHER REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS AT THIS TIME. THE DEALER ALSO INDICATED IT WOULD BE SENSELESS TO RESET THE SRS SINCE THE REPAIR HAVE NOT BEEN PERFORMED. *AK
