ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
I HAD LEFT THE CAR IN A PARKING STRUCTURE. APPARENTLY I HAD LEFT THE GEAR IN REVERSE RATHER THAN IN PARK. AFTER LEAVING THE CAR WITH MY IGNITION KEY IN HAND THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL, AND SUBSEQUENTLY CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR WHICH WAS PARKED. THE DAMAGE WAS MINIMAL, BUT COSTLY TO REPAIR ANYHOW. THERE WAS A WOMAN WITH A BABY IN A CARRIAGE WHICH WAS NARROWLY MISSED BY THE MOVING VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER NOT IN PARK. IN FACT, THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL 05V025000 FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH ALMOST 500000 CARS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL OF MINE WERE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL, MY PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. HONDA DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY SINCE MY WARRANTY HAS LONG EXPIRED AND MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. IT WAS INTERESTING THAT THE RECALL NOTICE INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING WORDS UNDER "DEFECT CONSEQUENCE:" "IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT SHIFT TO PARK BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY AND FAILED TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR" THIS WAS THE EXACT SCENARIO OF THE INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED. *AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
SRS LIGHT CAME ON AFTER 100,000. SEE HONDA ACCORDS IN THIS YEAR ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THESE PROBLEMS. HONDA DEALER IS TRYING TO SAY BEFORE I EVEN BRING IT IN THAT IT OCULD BE 20 DIFF. THINGS SETTING THIS LIGHT ON. THINK HE WILL TELL ME IT IS NOT COVERED IF IT REALLY IS. THERE ARE SEVERAL TSB'S ON THIS ISSUE WITH MANY DISATISFIED HONDA OWNERS.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
I OWN A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE AND THE SRS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CAUSING ME TO TAKE INTO MY HONDA MECHANIC. HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND DISCOVERED A TEMPORARY CODE 09-03 INDICATES A MALFUNCTION IN THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT SWITCH. THIS COST ME $75. HE SCANNED THE ENGINE COMPUTER FOR STORED CODES AND RETRIEVED THE TEMPORARY CODE 09-03 OCCURRED 14 TIMES OVER 157 KEY CYCLES. FELT PROBLEM WAS VERY INTERMITTENT AND RESET SHOULD LAST A WHILE OR NEVER RETURN. NOT MORE THAN A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SRS ILLUMINATED. CALLED MECHANIC AND HE SAID TO BRING THE CAR IN AND WE WILL RESET; NO CHARGE. THIS BACK-AND-FORTH CONTINUED FOR A WHILE UNTIL IT JUST BECAME COMPLETELY INCONVENIENT AND HAD TO CONSIDER HOW TO FIX. OPTIONS WERE TO: 1) REPLACE THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ON AN EDUCATED GUESS WITH NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. COST: $250. 2) CONTINUE THE TEST PROCEDURES THEY HAVE AND REMOVE SEAT AND DISASSEMBLING THE SEAT COVER TO INSPECT THE SEAT BELT WIRING, AGAIN WITH NO GUARANTEE. COST: $225. I HAVE NOT SELECTED EITHER OPTION AS I FEEL IT IS A HONDA DEFECT AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THEM. *JB

AIR BAGS
SRS LIGHT TURNED ON SPONTANEOUSLY; HONDA KEEPING DIAGNOSTIC CODES SECRET, SO MY LOCAL SHOP IS UNABLE TO FIX; COULD BE SIMPLE SEAT BELT SWITCH, COULD BE AIRBAG FAILURE; NOT WITH $150+ TO CHECK FOR SIMPLE SEAT BELT SWITCH. SOLUTION IS TO MAKE THE CODES ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC INSTEAD OF KEEPING THEM SECRET SO CUSTOMERS CAN CHOOSE WHERE TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE INSTEAD OF FORCING REPAIRS AT HONDA DEALERSHIP. *JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
MY SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE DECEMBER 31, 2006. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY AIRBAGS ARE NOW DISABLED AND WILL MOST LIKELY NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A MINIMUM COST OF $1,300.00. BASED ON THE SAFETY RISKS AND THE NUMBER OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, HONDA SHOULD ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. *JB

2000 HONDA ACCORD LX - SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN CHECKED AND RESET (51,770 MILES), THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH SYSTEM AND HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE LIGHT HAD COME ON. IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH. HONDA TELLS ME THAT THE FRONT AND SIDE PASSENGER AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THIS LIGHT IS ON. THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY OR RECALL FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT HONDA WILL NOT WARRANTY A SAFETY SYSTEM INVOLVING AIR BAGS. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT
CAR KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT REQUIRING THE DRIVER TO PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED LAST MONTH AND AM NOT ACCUSTOMED TO DRIVING AN AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, I HAVE LEFT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE MOTOR, ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR BEGIN ROLLING FORWARD OR BACKWARD. CONDITION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CURIOUSLY, THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM FOR WHICH THE NHTSA ISSUED RECALL NO. 05V025000. HOWEVER, DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. REFUSE TO REPAIR THE CAR BECAUSE ITS VIN NUMBER DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE THAT HONDA BELIEVES TO BE INCLUSIVE OF CARS WITH THIS DEFECT. UNBELIEVABLE. CAR IS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. *NM

SRS LIGHT IS ON I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORDS REGARDING SRS LIGHT. IT KEEPS COMING ON. I ALREADY TOOK IT TO A DEALER. HE HAD INITIALLY REPLACED OPDS UNIT. EVEN AFTER 2-3 MONTHS IT CAME BACK ON. NOW WHEN I TAKE IT BACK, HE SAYS THERE IS SOME OTHER PROBLEM. ON INTERNET I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT HONDA IN NOT HANDLING PROPERLY. *NM
