SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING
THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING SEIZED UP AND WORE DOWN THE SPINDLE. THIS RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE PULLING TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING AND SPINDLE, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED.*AK

AIR BAGS:ON-OFF SWITCH ASSEMBLY
I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE WITH THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT STAYING ON. IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYONE IS GETTING THEIR ALTERNATORS CHANGED AT THEIR PERSONAL COST, BUT THEN THE LIGHT TURNS BACK ON AFTER A FEW DAYS AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY WHILST THE LIGHT IS ON. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.*AK

MY HONDA ACCORD 2000, V6 ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE LIGHTS USED TO ALWAYS COME ON AND OFF. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED AND GOT NOWHERE WHERE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NO THE AFTER THE WARRANTY IS OUT THE LIGHT IS TURNED RED. I UNDERSTAND THAT HONDA HAS RECALLED SOME OF THE AIRBAGS BUT WHEN I GAVE THE CAR DEALER MY VIN NUMBER I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR CARS MANUFACTURED AFTER MY CAR. *JB

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX HAS 60,000 MILES. A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAGS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE LIGHT IS STILL ILLUMINATED, WHICH IS BOTHERSOME SINCE I'M DRIVING AROUND WITH FAULTY AIRBAGS. THERE APPARENTLY ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR CARS OF MY MAKE AND MODEL THAT YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED HONDA TODAY, THEY SAID THAT MY CAR ISN'T INCLUDED IN THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS CORRECTED AND BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CARS FROM MY YEAR. I HAVE HAD NO RECENT IMPACTS THAT WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO HAVE SUCH PROBLEMS. IT IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
BRAKES - I TOOK MY CAR INTO LIA HONDA IN ALBANY IN APRIL 2004 FOR MY NYS INSPECTION AND 30,000 MILE SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED ROTORS TURNED. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT I NEEDED ROTORS TURNED AT 29,000 MILES. PERHAPS THIS IS NORMAL BUT PREVIOUSLY I OWNED A NISSAN AND I DID NOT HAVE TO DO ANY BRAKE WORK UNTIL 50,000 MILES. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS IN CASE THERE WERE ANY OTHER OWNERS OF HONDA ACCORDS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WONDER IF THEY USE A CHEAPER QUALITY BRAKE PARTS THAN NISSAN. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX SEDAN WITH A LITTLE OVER 75,000 MILES ON IT. SATURDAY MAY 4TH OF THIS YEAR ON MY WAY FROM MESQUITE TO ARLINGTON MY CAR JUST FAILED TO MOVE. ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T PICK A GEAR TO MOVE ON, LUCKILY A GENTLEMAN BEHIND ME HELPED PUSH THE CAR OFF TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE 35 AND HAD TO REQUEST AAA COME TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP LUTE RILEY IN RICHARDSON. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED SAT BY THE TIME I GOT THERE SO MONDAY MORNING WHEN I WENT IN I HAD RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE SIXTH GENERATION ACCORDS. BUT I WAS INFORMED AT MIDDAY BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR SHAWN THAT I NEEDED TO PAY TO HAVE MY SOLENOIDS REPLACED SINCE THATS WHAT THE TECHNICIAN REPORTS AS THE PROBLEM SO ME BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT AND HEAVILY RELIANT ON MY TRANSPORTATION ESPECIALLY DURING FINALS WEEK PAID FOR IT. SURE ENOUGH COUPLE OF DAYS LATER SAME ISSUE WHERE THE CAR DIES AGAIN IN MY SCHOOL PARKING LOT AND I HAD IT TOWED ONCE AGAIN BY AAA OVER TO LUTE RILEY. THIS TIME WHEN I WENT IN ON THURSDAY MAY 6TH THEY SANG A DIFFERENT TUNE THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BY HONDA SO THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR FREE BUT WILL NEED TO KEEP IT FOR A WEEK WHILE THEY ORDER ONE. NOW MY ISSUE IS RETURNING THE $350 PLUS THAT I SPENT ON REPAIRING SOLENOIDS THAT WEREN'T IN NEED OF BEING REPLACED. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO HONDA'S CORPORATE HQ LIKE SO MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE ALREADY DONE. PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO HELP SAVE OTHER PEOPLE THIS HEADACHE AND POSSIBLE ENDANGERMENT OF LIFE WHEN A VEHICLE FAILS ON OUR HIGHWAYS! ADDITIONALLY I REQUEST THAT YOU INCLUDE HONDA'S RECALL\EXTENSION OF WARRANTY ON ALL 2000-2001 ACCORDS, ODDESSEYS, AND PRELUDES IN YOUR "SAFETY RECALL" SEARCH ENGINE (THIS IS OPEN INFORMATION ON HONDA'S HOMEPAGE BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE IN AS MANY PLACES POSSIBLE).
