VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THIS IS A REPORT OF AN INCIDENT OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE WHICH IS RELATED TO AN ACCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED ON MARCH 9, 2011. THE VEHICLE INVOLVED IS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE. THE DRIVER WAS REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE BACKWARD VERY FAST. THE DRIVER STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND TRIED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL BUT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO DRIVE AND LURCHED FORWARD AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED UNCONTROLLABLY ACROSS THE SIDEWALK, THREE(3) LANES OF TRAFFIC, THROUGH A LAWN WHERE IT FIRST STRUCK A BRICK BUILDING, REMOVED A 30-INCH LANDSCAPE BOULDER, AND THEN STRUCK A SECOND BUILDING WHICH STOPPED IT, TRAVELING OVER 200 FEET BEFORE COMING TO A HALT IN A PUBLIC ALLEY. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN ONLY A FEW SECONDS AND THE DRIVER COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BRAKES DID NOT HELP. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT THE DRIVER WAS NOT HIT OR KILLED GOING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS INCIDENT BE INVESTIGATED

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
BOUGHT THIS ACCORD FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER BECAUSE IS WAS A SAFE RELIABLE CAR TO START WITH. IT WAS IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED BY THE DEALER. SHE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS STARTING TO "JERK" WHEN DRIVING IT. I CONFIRMED IT WAS "JERKING". I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THAT HONDA HAS HAD SIGNIFICANT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND SEVERAL. NOW I'M LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANT REPAIR OR PROBABLY REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WILL REQUIRE A NEW TRANSMISSION WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT IT. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, SUSPENSION
RECENTLY TOOK A 2000 ACCORD SE TO HONDA DEALER FOR TRADE IN. THE DEALERSHIP PUT THE CAR ON THE HOIST FOR INSPECTION BEFORE DETERMINING A TRADE IN PRICE. ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES THAT THE MECHANIC LOOKED WAS AT THE FRAME AND FRONT SUSPENSION ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY IT WAS FOUND THAT OVER HALF THE WIDTH OF THE FRONT CROSS BEAM WAS WASTED AWAY, AND WAS IN DANGER OF BREAKING OFF AT ANY TIME. BOTH THE MECHANIC AND SALESMAN AGREED, THIS WAS A PROBLEM THEY HAD SEEN MANY TIMES ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT YEARS OF THIS MODEL. THE ROTTING OF THE BEAM WAS APPARENTLY CAUSED BY CONDENSATE DRIPPING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN, WHICH WAS LOCATED DIRECTLY ABOVE THE BEAM. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SUCH A PROBLEM, THE DRAINS HAD BEEN MOVED TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION ON THE NEXT GENERATION. THE ESTIMATE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED WAS $1300.00. OTHER THAN THAT, THE CAR WAS DEEMED TO BE IN EXCELLENT RE-SALE CONDITION. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I STARTED MY CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE IN A PARKING GARAGE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE GARAGE. THE CAR ACCELERATED WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE, SLAMMING INTO TWO PARKED VEHICLES. THE CAR THEN ACCELERATED FORWARD, SLAMMING INTO A CONCRETE COLUMN AND COMING TO A REST. I ATTEMPTED TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. IT FELT LIKE MY ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK RATHER THAN A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS TRAVELING IN REVERSE FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 YARDS AT A SPEED OF UNDER 5 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. MY PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR IDLED AT A HIGH RPM FOR 2-3 SECONDS AFTER IT STOPPED. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION ON 4 OR 5 PRIOR OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE BACKING. THE LAST TIME I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS IN SEPT. 2006; A DEALER MECHANICAL INSPECTION AT THAT TIME CHECKED THE TCM/PCM FOR DTC AND FOUND NO STORED CODES. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO REMOVE FROM THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION.

AIR BAGS
THE SRS LIGHT HAS TURNED ON SO THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIR BAGS. IF ANYONE WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT DEATHS WILL OCCUR AS THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY. WITH A BIT OF RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORDS DATING FROM 1998-2011. HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/2000/SEAT_BELTS_AIR_BAGS/SRS_LIGHT_IS_ON.SHTML THIS WEBSITE PROVIDES MANY OWNERS' ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO SOLVE A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE CAUSED. IT IS A LETHAL DESIGN FLAW AND HONDA SHOULD BE SOLVING THIS PROBLEM INSTEAD OF MAKING THEIR CUSTOMERS PAY RIDICULOUS PRICES FOR IT TO GET FIXED JUST TO HAVE THE SRS LIGHT COME ON MOMENTS AFTER THE SO CALLED REPAIRS. THE CUSTOMERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE, IT IS HONDA. PLEASE CONTACT HONDA AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. FOR EVERY MOMENT DELAYED, THE MORE LIKELY IT IS FOR A FATAL ACCIDENT TO OCCUR DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.
