POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL." AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE. IN 9-25-03 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE CAR IN PARK. WAS TOLD THE SWITCH INSIDE THE CENTER CONSOLE FAILED BECAUSE SODA WAS SPILLED. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE IT. I ASKED IF IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. IF I WANTED IT FIXED IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT $200.00, AND THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED. TOOK CAR HOME, INSPECTED UNDER THE CONSOLE, AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF SODA OR ANY OTHER SUBSTANCE. ON 6-12-04 THE CAR SEEMED TO BE HAVING POOR ACCELERATION HOME AT 4 PM, AND AT 1130 PM POLICE NOTIFIED ME THAT MY CAR WAS FOUND IN NEIGHBOR'S YARD, HAD RAN INTO THE CORNER OF THE HOME, CAUSING $3000 DAMAGE TO HOME AND $800.00 TO FRONT OF CAR. ON JULY 13 2004 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR HAD SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH, AS WELL AS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. REQUESTED THEY CHECK THE IGNITION ISSUE. ALSO, NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL, STATING THAT TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED ABOUT THE IGNITION ISSUE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY FORGOT TO LOOK AT IT. I INSISTED IT BE LOOKED AT,AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I WAS AWARE OF A RECALL ON THE 1999 MODEL, AND THAT OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME MAKE & MODEL HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. *AK

AIR BAGS
PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN AIRBAG SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER, THE LIGHT AGAIN TURNED BACK ON AND IT TURNED OUT THAT ONE OF THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WAS AGAIN DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA'S BUT IT WAS NOT A RECALL, I CONTACTED THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT CONSIDERED A DEFECT AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE SINCE MY WARRANTEE HAD RUN OUT. IN MAY 2004 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT WITHIN THE ENGINE AND REQUIRED THE EGR TO BE FIXED. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS COULD BE SOMETHING I COULD GET SOME RECOURSE ON AND AGAIN IT IS NOT A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AMONG HONDA ACCORDS. I JUST FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE SOME RECOURSE. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR I'VE HAD TO PAY OUT MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN CHARGES TO HAVE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS FIXED. IF THEY ARE DEFECTIVE THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED BY HONDA FREE OF CHARGE.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
WHEN TRAVELING THE RED SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT WENT ON. WHEN WE RETURNED AND TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC WHO HAS SERVICED THIS VERHICLE, HE SAID THAT HE HAD RECEIVED A SAFETY NOTICE REGARDING THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THE AIR BAG CONTROLLER WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR IT, STATING IT WAS PAST THE WARRANTY. THE AUTO IS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD 4 DOOR SEDAN. MY MECHANIC SAID WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT FUNCTION--WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND HE RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT THE DOT. WE HAD TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED, AT A COST OF $625.00. *AK

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD HAS ITS SRS LIGHTS ON AGAIN AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO PUT THE CAR ON THE COMPUTER AND SAID "THERES A MALFUNCTION IN MY AIRBAGS, I HAVE TO GO TO HONDA" ($40.00). I BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA THAT SAME MORNING (9:30 AM), INFORMED THEM ABOUT MY MECHANIC'S RESPONSE & THAT I COMMUTE A DISTANCE AND DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR, SO THEY TOOK IT IN. AT 4:30 PM, THEY DECIDED TO PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND WOW...THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY AIR BAG SYSTEM ($94.61). NO ACCIDENTS, NOTHING - IT JUST CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. HONDA TOLD ME "NOT TO WORRY, THAT MY AIRBAG ISN'T JUST GOING TO GO OFF AS I DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY.....IT JUST WON'T GO OFF IF YOU CRASH". REAL SAFETY FEATURE OF THE CAR. MY DIAGNOSIS: CODE 9-3...DRIVERS SEAT BELT BUCKLE FAILURE (ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR: $287.00 PLUS TAX ON TOP OF THE INITIAL $94.00 I JUST GAVE THEM). THIS IS 100% A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE HONDAS RESPONSIBILITY. HOW CAN I BE CERTAIN THAT THEY HAVE NOT ALWAYS BEEN BROKEN? THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS AND I AM APPALLED AT HONDA'S IGNORANCE TO THIS MATTER. *AK

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. IT WOULD "CHOKE" WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED OR WHEN CAR WAS IN GEAR SHIFT CHANGE. THE CAR WOULD JERK A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE, ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE IT COULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER CAR. IT STALLED OFTEN, ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO CHANGE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION DEFECT AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I THEN CALLED THE AMERICAN HONDA SERVICE CONTRACT CORPORATION TO SEE WHAT STEPS NEEDED TO TAKE PLACE IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO SET UP REPAIR. I AM CURRENTLY IN WAIT ON THEIR DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL REPAIR IT. I HAVE FULL COVERAGE UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *NM
