AIR BAGS
THE SRS WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. THE DIAGNOSIS DETERMINED THE FAULT WAS CAUSED BY LOW SYSTEM VOLTAGE EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TESTED TO OEM SPECS. NO PARTS WERE REPLACED. THE SERVICING DEALERSHIP (GILLMAN HONDA - HOUSTON) SAID THE FAULT IS DUE TO A MISDESIGN BY HONDA. THIS PROBLEM MAY PREVENT THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING (IF THE SRS FAULT LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AGAIN). A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
EXPERIENCING A THUMP AS THE INGITION IS RELEASED FROM THE START POSITION OR AS THE ENGINE STARTS.THIS NOISE OCCURS ONLY ON A COLD START,USUALLY OVERNIGHT. DEALER MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE NOISE APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT. HONDA HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN PERTAINING TO THIS NOISE,BUT THE DEALER MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HNNDA'S SERVICE ENGINEERS TELLS HIM THAT THE SERVICE BULLETIN PERTAINS TO THE HONDA 4CYL ONLY, AND NOT THE 6CYL IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR THE 2000 HONDA 4CYL. SHOULD ALSO COVER THE 2000 HONDA 6CYL. IN CLOSING I MIGHT ADD THAT THIS SAME TYPE NOISE HAS ALSO BEEN HEARD IN THE HONDA 2001 6CYL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS IS HONDA ACCORD V6, I HAVE NOTICED A CLUNK WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE AREN'T ANY COMPLAINTS OR ISSUANCES ON THE BULLETIN BOARDS OF THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THERE ARE. I BELIEVE IT IS REFERRED TO AS THE 'REVERSE CLUNK' PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISENT EVERY TIME I OPERATE MY CAR IN REVERSE, BUT IT HAPPENS ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME. THE CAR IS OPERATED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT I WANT FIXED. WHEN YOU PAY FOR QUALITY THAT IS WHAT I EXPECT TO GET. I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTING THE HONDA CORPORATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.*AK
