FOR PAST FEW YEARS THE SRS LIGHT WOULD FLICK ON AND OFF. LAST MONTH IT STAYED ON AND THE DEALER CHARGED ME OVER $300 TO REPLACE THE OPDS SENSOR AND CLEAR THE CODES.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
DT: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CONSUMER HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC, AND THEY FOUND THE CODE P1457. THEN HE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP, WHICH FOUND THE SAME CODE WHEN CHECKING FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS AN INTERNAL PROBLEM WITH THE EVAPORATION SYSTEM. DISCOVERED A LEAK WITHIN THE SYSTEM BY DOING A SMOKE TEST. IT WAS IN A CANISTER IN THE EMISSION SYSTEM. THEY REPLACED THE CANISTER AND THE VALVE THAT WAS CONNECTED WITH IT, PARTS 17011S84A00 AND 17310S84L31. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHO TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THEY HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE HE HAD FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THE CODE P1457 ON A WEBSITE, WWW.ANSWER.COM. *AK

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD V-6 HAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE HAD VERY FEW PROBLEMS. ALWAYS TOOK TO DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE/REPAIR. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED IN JUNE 2005, AND WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF GETTING THE CAR BACK, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I SHOULD BRING THE CAR IN RIGHT AWAY. I PAID $68 TO HAVE THE SYSTEM "TESTED" AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR THE AIR BAGS AT A COST OF $575, OR I COULD HAVE THEM RESET IT AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT COME BACK ON. I ASKED WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE LIGHT WAS ON AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAGS JUST WON'T WORK. I OPTED FOR THE RESET. NOW, 2 WEEKS LATER, THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. I HAVE DONE SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT NOT ONLY IS THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT THE "CURES" THAT ARE SUGGESTED BY THE DEALER ARE ALL OVER THE MAP. I FIND IT INCREDIBLE THAT HONDA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT IN A MANDATED SAFETY DEVICE. MY FAMILY WILL HOLD HONDA RESPONSIBLE IF I AM INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO A NON-INFLATING AIRBAG. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE COMPANY IS TAKING THE AIRBAG ISSUE SERIOUSLY. MY DAUGHTER WAS THANKFULLY NOT KILLED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT LAST JUNE IN HER CIVIC, WHOSE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN SHE WAS HIT WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT TORE THE FRONT ENGINE HOUSING OFF HER CAR AND RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS. THE HONDA FOLKS TOLD US THEN THAT SOMETIMES THE CAR ISN'T "HIT THE RIGHT WAY" AND THE SENSORS DON'T REGISTER THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD DEPLOY. I THINK THE SAME GOVERNMENT THAT REQUIRES THESE DEVICES BE INSTALLED ON ALL CARS (AND THE ONES WE PAY FOR WHEN PURCHASING THE CARS) SHOULD HOLD THE CAR MAKERS/DEALERS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THEY ARE OPERABLE. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
I DRIVE A 2000 ACCORD COUPE LX 4 CYC. AND SOME TIME MY CAR WOULD JUST LOSE POWER AND DIE. ONCE MY CAR LOOSE POWER I CAN NO LONGER HAVE CONTROL OF THE CAR. SEVERAL TIMES DURING A TURN AND WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE BEFORE ANY ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES, BUT EACH TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON 2000 BUT ONLY 98-99 ACCORDS. THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL BE MORE THEN HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE BUT AT MY EXPENSIVE. I WAS OUTRAGED THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT HONDA NEEDS TO FIX BEFORE I MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS TO MANY DEALERSHIPS BUT NONE OF THEM ARE WILLING TO FIND A FIX. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DT: THE CONSUMER STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION IN 2001. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTED TO REVERSE IT JERKED ABRUPTLY. PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN IN DRIVE. THIS OCCURRED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WA S DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER. THIS BECAME WORSE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR A WHILE. HESITATION OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, EVEN WHEN THE GEARS WERE NOT BEING CHANGED. DEALER WAS NEVER ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEREFORE, NO REPAIR WERE DONE. VEHICLE'S OWNER NOTICED WHAT SHE THOUGHT WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID IN 2003. DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. OWNER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ,AND EVERY TIME THE DEALER RELIED ON THE COMPUTER TO FIND A PROBLEM. NONE WAS EVER FOUND.*AK

PURCHASED NEW 2000 ACCORD EX V-6, 4 DR-REPLACED TRANSMISSION AT 10,000 MILES, THEN AGAIN AROUND 55,000 MILES. NOW ON THIRD TRANSMISSION AND WONDERING HOW LONG THIS ONE WILL LAST. ALSO, NOW THE SRS LIGHT IS ON AND THEY SAY THE SEAT BELT HAS TO REPLACED, AS WELL AS NOW THE ALTERNATOR AND TENSIONER ARE BEING REPALCED ($600 JOB!). BASED ON SOME OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS THE TWO ARE RELATED, AS WELL AS THE ALTERNATOR PROBLEMS BEING A RESULT OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.

SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON. SIDE SRS COMES ON IN TURNS. DEALER HAS STATED THAT SOMETHING IN THE SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WE HAVE NO DRIVER SRS AT THIS TIME. VEHICLE IS UNDER USED CERTIFIED WARRANTY BUT DEALER STATES THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. WE PUCHASED A HONDA (HAVE OWNED MANY!) BECAUSE OF RELIABILITY, DURABILITY AND SAFETY. DOES NOT FEDERAL LAW REQUIRE SRS ON CURRENT MODEL VEHICLES? HOW CAN SUCH A COMPANY REFUSE TO FIX SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM>>>

AIR BAGS
SUBJECT: HONDA 2000 ACCORD SRS LIGHT SAFETY DEFECT DEAR ADMINISTRATOR: HONDA DEALER AT SALINAS IN CALIFORNIA PERFORMED RECALL ?IGNITION LOCK? WORK ON MY CAR ON 3/16/05 (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED INVOICE). AFTER THAT, THE SRS (AIRBAGS) LIGHT REMAINS ON MY CAR. MY CAR CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 32,600 MILES. BEFORE THE DEALER PERFORMED THE RECALL WORK, MY CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE. I CALLED DEALER ABOUT THIS SRS LIGHT ISSUE. DEALER SAID I HAVE TO PAY $101 FOR A COMPUTER DIAGNOSES PLUS EXTRA FEE TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOUND. I, HOWEVER, DISAGREE BECAUSE THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON RIGHT AFTER THE DEALER PERFORMED THE RECALL WORK. BEFORE THAT, MY CAR WAS IN THE PERFECTLY SHAPE AND NEVER GOT INVOLVE IN ANY ACCIDENT. AS THE DEALER SAID, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHILE THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. I THINK MY CAR?S SRS LIGHT ISSUE IS CAUSED BY EITHER THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE OR IT IS ANOTHER SAFETY DEFECT IN HONDA 2000 ACCORD. THEREFORE, YOUR KIND HELP ON MY CASE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! SINCERELY, [XXX] P.S. CAR INFO: HONDA 2000 ACCORD LX 4DR, [XXX] *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
THE VEHICLE IS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE DRIVERS POWER SEAT BRACKET HAS BROKE. THIS IS THE FRONT LEFT CORNER. THIS IS A POWER SEAT. I THINK THE WELD FAILED. I WILL TAKE IT TO A SHOP FOR REPAIR AND REINFORCEMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION AND WOULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH IN A COLLISION. I THINK THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL. INCIDENTALLY, I AM NOT OBESE. I WEIGH 215 POUNDS AND AM A 6 FT TALL MALE.
