INSTEAD OF STOPPING THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FROM 20MPH TO 65MPH ON ITS OWN AND THERE WAS NO WAY OF STOPPING IT. EMERGENCY BREAK WAS THEN TRIED, WHEN THIS DID NOT WORK, CAR WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL IN HOPES THAT THIS WILL SLOW DOWN CARS UNWARRANTED ACCELERATION. IT WAS WHEN VEHICLE HIT A POLE CAUSING TIRE TO MANGLE WHICH CAUSED VEHICLE TO STOP, HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THIS COLLISION WITH THE POLE THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED EVEN WITH ALL THE OTHER ATTEMPTS. ALL STAR HONDA 414-269-1399 IN MILWAUKEE, WI WAS CALLED TO INQUIRE ABOUT WHAT MIGHT CAUSE BREAK MALFUNCTION AND ACCELERATION, MECHANIC BY THE NAME OF BELAL INDICATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAK LINES OF THIS PARTICULAR YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. HE MENTIONED THAT IF BREAK LINE HAS PRESSURE IN IT IT MIGHT CAUSE THE LINE TO BURST THEREFORE CAUSING THE BREAKS NOT TO WORK. HE COULD NOT GIVE AN EXPLANATION FOR THE ACCELERATION, ALTHOUGH OTHER MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME IT CAN BE A NUMBER OF FACTORS FROM THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR TO SOMETHING ELECTRICAL OR MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR ETC.

SUSPENSION
THE SUB FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS EXTREMELY RUSTED OUT ON THE TOP SIDE OF THE FRAME MAKING IT HARDER TO NOTICE. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS FINE, BUT UNDER THE AC DRAIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH MAKING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE. FORTUNATELY, I NOTICED IT WHILE REPLACING THE STABILIZER LINK BUT THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR HONDA.

MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE FRAME IS ROTTED OUT UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WELL MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS FINE. THE AIR CONDITIONING HOSE DRIPS AT THE SPOT THAT IS RUSTED OUT. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
UPON A STANDARD OIL CHANGE AT 160,000 MILES, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT SUB FRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. I WAS TOLD TO TALK TO A BODY SHOP IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE CAR WASN'T "ROAD SAFE". LOOKED INTO THIS A BIT AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ACCORDS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAINPIPE (WHICH EMPTIES RIGHT ONTO THE SUBFRAME) . THE CAR FOR THE MOST PART IS RELIABLE, MINUS THE TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED AT 130,000 MILES. BUT A FRAME SHOULDN'T BE "RUSTED THROUGH" AFTER 15 YEARS! SOUNDS UNSAFE, CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF THESE CARS THAT ARE STILL ON THE ROAD. CALLED HONDA TODAY AND WAS INFORMED THE REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $1200 WITH NO GOODWILL ON THEIR END. FIGURED THIS WAS THE BEST ALTERNATIVE TO THE SITUATION.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAD THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL ON MY HONDA ACCORD. I CALLED THE NUMBER THAT WAS PROVIDED IN THE LETTERS HONDA SENT TO MY HOUSE. WE HAD THE TAKATA AIR BAG ISSUE FIXED ON NOVEMBER 7TH AT THE HONDA LOCATION IN NEW ROCHELLE. AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THEM, THE SRS LIGHT TURNED ON WHICH IS RELATED TO AIR BAG. I CALLED THE NUMBER BACK AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. I HAVE TO TAKE IT ON MY OWN AND GET IT FIXED BUT HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? I CALLED A FEW HONDA LOCATIONS AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CHARGE ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC! HONDA PUTS IN DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS AND THEN THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIX IT AND AFTER THAT I GET A LIGHT FOR AIR BAGS AND I'M TOLD I HAVE TO FIX IT ON MY OWN? EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND THEIR SERVICE. THIS IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING.

TAKATA RECALL. THE TAKATA RECALL WAS FIXED IN DEC 2015. THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON CONSTANTLY IN JULY/AUG 2016. CALLED HONDA AND THEY STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTY SERVICE ON THIS ITEM - NOT RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT - THERE APPEAR TO BE MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE SAME ISSUE (SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATES FOLLOWING TAKATA RECALL REPAIR) IN THE NTSB COMPLAINT DATABASE AND OTHER COMPLAINTS FOUND THROUGH INTERNET SEARCHES. HONDA SHOULD EXTEND THIS WARRANTY WHEN RELATED TO AIRBAG ISSUES SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE - THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK WHEN SRS SYSTEM FAILS. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS RELATED TO AIRBAGS.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD GOING INTO SECOND GEAR. KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH 2001 HONDA V6 TRANSMISSIONS. AMERICAN HONDA ("AH") HAS ADMITTED MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED, BUT THEY DID NOT SEND ME THE NOTICE AND NOW THE WARRANTY HAS PASSED. MANY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH TRANSMISSIONS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED AT $4500. MY CAR IS UNDER 143,000 MILES. DRIVING MY CAR WITH THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND AH DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE DESPITE MY VARIOUS CALLS TO THEM AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGING IT WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION.
