AIR BAGS
I HAVE THE KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD WHERE THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. YOU CAN DO A GOOGLE SEARCH AND SEE THE WIDESPREAD NATURE OF THIS PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN A ACCIDENT AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE AIRBAG GO OFF WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY. WHEN I CALL MY DEALER THEY PRETEND NOT TO KNOW ANYTHING AND WANT TONS OF MONEY TO EVEN CHECK IT OUT. I HAVE THE HONDA CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE DEALER WON'T EVEN VERIFY IF THE PROBLEM IS COVERED OR NOT. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
I PURCHASED A NEW 2000 HONDA ACCORD V6 IN JUNE OF 2000. IT IS NOW 4 1/2 YEARS OLD AND HAS FEWER THAN 18,000 MILES. ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO I STARTED HEARING A WHINE OR WHIRR AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY (12/15/04). IT CHECKED OUT TO BE A BAD ALTERNATOR, AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE OVER $500 TO FIX!! I FOUND SEVEN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND ALL OF THEM (INCLUDING MINE) SHARE A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG LIGHT WHICH COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. MINE HAS BEEN COMING ON SINCE ALMOST DAY 1. HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME BACK THEN IT WAS DUE TO SOME CLOTHES OR CUSHION BLOCKING SOME SENSOR AT THE BACK OF THE SEAT AND WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I HAVE HAD MAINTENANCE DONE EVERY 3 MONTHS OR SO, THE MOST RECENT OF WHICH WAS DECEMBER 4, 2004. AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS NO WHINE, NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS, OR ANY INDICATION OF ANYTHING WRONG, BUT I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT, BUT NOW I KNOW WHY. IT WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT I BEGAN HEARING THE NOISE THAT WAS TODAY DIAGNOSED AS A BAD ALTERNATOR. AGAIN, GOOD MAINTENANCE RECORD, FEWER THAN 18000 MILES, NO WARNING LIGHTS, BAD ALTERNATOR. I AM DRIVING 300 MILES THIS COMING SATURDAY AND AM SCARED TO DEATH--HOPING THAT IT IS FIXED COMPLETELY AND THAT NOTHING ELSE GOES WRONG. I HOPE THIS GETS SOME ATTENTION FROM NHTSA!. *AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS FOR 3 YEARS FAILED TO LOCK INTO PLACE AFTER THE FRONT SEAT IS MOVED FORWARD TO ALLOW ACCESS IN THE BACKSEAT. MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT AND UPON A ABRUPT STOP HE SEAT ACCELERATED FORWARD AND SHE HIT HER HEAD ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. EVEN WITH A SEAT BELT ON THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT COULD NOT PREVENT BODILY INJURY TO MY WIFE. THE MANUFACTUER STATES THAT EVEN AFTER LOOKING AT THIS SEAT SEVERAL TIME, IT IS OPERATIONAL AS EXPECTED.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
BOUGHT CAR 12-31-1999. IN 2001, SIGNIFICANT "WARBLING"/SHAKING OF STEERING COLUMN WHEN BRAKING, AT HIGHER SPEEDS, TO THE POINT STOPPING WAS BECOMING PRECARIOUS. DEALER SAID ROTORS HAD WARPED, MOST LIKELY BECAUSE I HIT THE BRAKES HARD DURING WET CONDITIONS, GETTING ROTORS WET, AND CAUSING THE WARPING. ROTORS WERE TURNED. "PULSING" OF BRAKES STARTED AGAIN IN NEAR FUTURE; DEALER SAID THEY FIXED AT NO CHARGE WHEN DOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. PROBLEM RECURRED AGAIN. DEALER SAID COULDN'T TURN ROTORS AGAIN, AND NEEDED TO REPLACE THEM AND PADS (JULY 2004). I COMPLAINED; MECHANIC ACKNOWLEDGED WHEN ASKED DIRECTLY THAT HE HAD SEEN MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR/MODEL OF HONDA. I PAID FOR REPLACEMENT. AGAIN, NOVEMBER, 2004 PULSING STARTED. DEALER DID BREAK INSPECTION (FOR $19.95); IT WAS OBVIOUS THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE - THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE WARPING WAS RECURRING - ON THE REPLACEMENT ROTOR. I DISCLOSED FINDING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA WEB SITE; SERVICE MANAGER ASKED IF I HAD TALKED TO HONDA - IF HONDA AGREED TO COVER IT, THEY COULD DO THE WORK. PROBLEM IS, COVER WHAT? THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THIS SPECIFIC BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS CAR IS THE 6TH HONDA MY SPOUSE AND I HAVE PURCHASED. UNFORTUNATELY, IT MAY WELL BE THE LAST. *AK
