AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
DT: THE SRS LIGHT STAYED ON SINCE THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTANCE THEY WOULD RESET THE LIGHT. EVERY TIME IT WOULD COME BACK ON. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY SINCE THIS LIGHT WAS ON. *AK

SRS HAS COME ON AGAIN, INDICATING THAT THE 2001 HONDA HAS NO OPERATING AIRBAGS. WE HAVE HAD THIS LOOKED AT NUMEROUS TIMES, AND IT HAS BEEN CLAIMED TO BE FIXED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT ALWAYS RE-OCCURS. *JB

AIR BAGS
2001 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX. THE CAR WAS AT DEALER FOR SOME SERVICE. UPON RETURN, SRS LIGHT CAME ON. WENT BACK TO DEALER, WAS TOLD BATTERY NEEDS CHANGING. CHANGED BATTERY AND RESET SRS. WAS OK FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND SRS LIGHT CAME BACK ON. BACK TO DEALER WHERE WAS TOLD THAT OPDS NEEDS CHANGING @ALMOST $500. RESET THE OPDS AND SRS LIGHT. LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR A WEEK AND CAME BACK ON. HAVE SEEN MANY WEB POSTING WITH SAME PROBLEM AND CHANGING OPDS DOES NOT RESOLVE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. I DON'T WANT TO SPEND $500 WHERE THEY ARE NOT REALLY SURE IF IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. 8JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
ON 7/28/05 MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE 5TH TIME IN THE 4.5 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE CAR. THIS IS MY SECOND FILING WITH NHTSA ON THIS ISSUE. MY DEALER HAS BEEN WILLING TO REPLACE AND RESET THE SENSOR, BUT NOT BEFORE CHASTISING ME FOR PLACING MY CELL PHONE IN PROXIMATELY TO THE PASSENGER SEAT. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS FROM HONDA ON THIS "ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE" I FIND THIS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE AS I DRIVE MY CAR LESS THAN A MILE A DAY, MANY DAYS I NEVER USE MY CAR OR CELL PHONE IN THE CAR. IT APPEARS FROM THE MANY POSTS HERE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORD 2001 SRS SENSOR AND HONDA SHOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE THEM APPROPRIATELY. *JB

AIR BAGS, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, SEAT BELTS
MY SRS LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN JUNE, 2005. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE SRS LIGHT IS ON, MY AIR BAG SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE AND AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. DEALERSHIP INSPECTION FOUND A CODE FOR SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH/SENSOR CAUSING THE SRS LIGHT. THE BUCKLE SET HAS BEEN SPECIAL ORDERED AND HAS NOT ARRIVED AFTER ONE MONTH. IN THE MEANTIME, I DRIVE AROUND WITH MY SRS LIGHT ON AND NO AIRBAGS. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE? DOES THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AS A POSSIBLE RECALL? SO MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE ARE WITH NO RESOLUTION. SO FAR I HAVE NO RESOLUTION. I DID NOT BUY A CAR WITH NO AIR BAGS. I WANT TO FEEL CONFIDENT MY AIR BAGS WILL DO THEIR JOB SHOULD I BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY HAVE SAVED MY LIFE IN THE PAST. IF YOU HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO FILE A COMPLAINT.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2001 HONDA ACCORD, 95,000 MILES. TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING SO MUCH SO IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THEY CHECKED AND AT FIRST DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. LEFT THE CAR FOR TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT AND THE NEXT DAY THEY FOUND THE TRANNY PROBLEM. SINCE IT'S UNDER THE 100,000 MARK, I'M COVERED. THANK GOODNESS. THE TRANNY I'M GETTING MAY BE A REBUILT TRANNY AND IT SEEMS THE WARRANTY ON IT MAY ONLY BE FOR 12,000 MILES. I THINK THAT SINCE HONDA IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH TRANNYS THAT THE COVERAGE SHOULD BE FOR AT LEAST 36,000 - 50,000 MILES. I PURCHASED A HONDA THINKING I WOULD NEVER HAVE SUCH ISSUES. MY NEXT CAR WILL BE A HONDA NOW.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION ON MY HONDA 2001 HAS BEEN SLIPPING AND OVER THE LAST FEW MONTS IS STARTING TO CLUNK WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A STOPPING POSITION. IT IS GETTING WORSE AND I WAS ALWAYS TOLD FROM HONDA THAT THIS IS NORMAL IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
ON 4 SEPERATE OCCASIONS, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR UNDER 35 MPH, WHEN THE INSTRUMENTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING. TODAY I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN IT HAPPENED. ALL THE EVENTS HAVE BEEN WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RADIO HAS BEEN SKIPPING STATIONS THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT CONTROLS THE CLOCK DOES NOT WORK AT LONGER. THE MOST CONCERNING ISSUE IS LOSING POWER AS I'M DRIVING, WONDERING IF THE PERSON BEHIND ME IS GOING TO STOP AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES AND PUTTING ON MY EMERGENCY SIGNALS. I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2001 MODEL. SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE SITUATION TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND ISSUE A NOTICE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES WHEN THE CAR LOSES POWER.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, PARKING BRAKE:INDICATOR LIGHT
TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS THAT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED WHEN UNDER 100000 MILES. TRANSMISSION FINALLY FAILED AT 108,500 MILES. DEALERSHIP & AMERICAN HONDA HAVE ONLY OFFERED 50% DISCOUNT ON A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTIRE COST. THEY WERE USING A COP OUT TO NOT HONOR THEIR PRODUCT. I AM ONLY A LITTLE OVER THEIR EXTENDED COVERAGE OFFER. ALSO, THEY STATED THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A GREAT SERVICE HISTORY I DID NOT HAVE IT DONE THROUGH THEM, INSTEAD I DID HAVE MY MAINTENANCE DONE WITH GOODYEAR SHOP WHICH WAS AN ESTABLISHED CAR CENTER. I BOUGHT THE HONDA BELIEVING I WOULD NOT HAVE TO ENCOUNTER THESE ISSUES. I CAN UNDERSTAND LITTLE PROBLEMS, BUT NOT ONE TO THIS EXTENT. I JUST THANK GOD THAT MY TWO MONTH OLD CHILD WAS NOT IN THE CAR W/ ME WHEN IT FINALLY BROKE DOWN. I HAD TO SPEND $200 ON TOWING FEES. ALL ATTEMPTS TO SPEAK WITH AMERICAN HONDA WAS DISAPPOINTING. I ALSO FOLLOWED UP WITH RESEARCH ON SERVICE HISTORY, AND HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT HONDA WAS JUST NOT THE NAME IT USE TO BE. *AK

SUSPENSION:REAR
I HEARD A LOUD POP WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN A DEALER WHO REPLACED A BROKEN DRIVER SIDE REAR STABILIZER LINK. IN FEBRUARY 2005 I HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT HONDA REPAIR SHOP. THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR STABILIZER LINK BROKE AGAIN. I HAD TO REPLACE IT. *AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
I AM WRITING TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND FOR INFORMATION REGARDING A PERSISTENT PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD SRS LIGHT. SPECIFICALLY THE DASHBOARD SRS LIGHT GOES ON FOR NO REASON. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT MY AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT OR THAT THE BAGS MAY DEPLOY FOR NO REASON. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FIND THAT MANY OTHER 2001 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, AND HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS ETC. BUT YET THERE IS STILL NO RECALL REGARDING THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM HOPING YOU CAN HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING: 1. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE? 2. HAS THE NHTSA CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM OF THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT ON 2001 HONDA ACCORDS? IF SO, WHAT FACTS WERE FOUND, WHAT DETERMINATION WAS MADE AND WHAT RESULT FOLLOWED? 4. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?? THIS IS TRULY A MYSTERY TO ME, AND I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THIS LIGHT ON!!! PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION OR IF I CAN BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THIS PROBLEM DESIGNATED FOR RECALL. IT IS VERY SCARY DRIVING WITH THIS LIGHT ON, AND IT IS THROUGH NO FAULT OF THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES! I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT LATER MODEL YEARS DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, SO HONDA HAS OBVIOUSLY CORRECTED A KNOWN PROBLEM.... THEY SHOULD HAVE TO CORRECT IT IN THE 2001 MODEL YEAR AS WELL! PLEASE HELP. *AK
