THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PERSONAL MECHANIC WHO INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THERE WAS A COMPUTER GLITCH WHICH NEEDED TO BE DEALT WITH BY HONDA'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 1998 ACCORD V6 WITH 78K MILES AND SLIPPING TRANSMISSION LIKE MANY MANY OTHERS. HONDA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ONLY ON 2000-2002 MODELS AS THEY WOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY ANYWAY. BUT THIS IS DESIGN/QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE AND THE TRANSMISIONS FROM 98-02 ARE ALL THE SAME. SO 1998 & 1999 CARS SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. YOU CAN GO TO COMPLAINTSTATION. COME FOR SOME PEOPLE'S POST ON THESE TRANSMISSION FAILURES, AND MANY OTHER INTERNET SITES AS GREAT MANY PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED BY THIS. THIS IS GREATLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL, BECAUSE YOU CAN NEVER RELY ON YOUR CAR TO ACCELERATE WHEN YOU NEED TO, AND TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS ON ITS' OWN IN HIGHWAY FROM D4 TO D2 CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE ENGINE BRAKING.

AIR BAGS
SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. DEALER ADVISED THAT WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND BRING IT IN TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM COST $75.00. MORE THAN LIKELY $500.00 - 600.00 TO CORRECT. I ADVISED THAT I READ AN ARTICLE WHERE IN MOST CASED THE BUSHINGS COUNLD BE CLEANED AND REPLACED AT A CHARGE OF $50.00 - 75.00. SERVICE CLERK CLAIMS NOT TO HAVE EVER HEARD THAT. I HAVE READ, ON YOUR WEB SITE, MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS MALFUNCTION ON MANY HONDA'S. DT

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE MORENO VALLEY HONDA AND SPREEN HONDA REGARDING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. MY HUSBAND OWNS A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND HAD TO TELL SPREEN HONDA WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I FINALLY CALLED HONDA'S MAIN OFFICE AND IT TOOK THEM ABOUT A WEEK TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. HOME OFFICE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND REQUESTED THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED. SPREEN HONDA HAD THE CAR FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND DID NOT OFFER RENTAL CAR OR REIMBURSEMENT. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL AROUND. MY HUSBAND COULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT THE CAR WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD AND UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THE PROBLEMS STARTED TO OCCUR. THE BRAKES ARE CONSTANTLY SQUEEKING EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT. THE MATERIAL ON THE REAR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS MELTED. PASSENGER SEAT BELTS ARE EXTREMELY TIGHT. THIS 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE HAS BEEN A TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. DT
