VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN THE CONSUMER STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, NOTHING HAPPENED, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. AFTER TAKING THE AUTO TO THE DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED , BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEN AFTER ANOTHER VISIT TO THE DEALER/MECHANIC, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, SINCE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED, TO KEEP A RECORD OF THE MISHAPS AND PRESENT IT TO THE STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. THEN ONE DAY HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, KILLING HER HUSBAND IN AN AUTO COLLISION. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A RECALL IN EFFECT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *JB

AIR BAGS
SRS LIGHT REMAINED CONSISTENTLY ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. DEALER NOTED THE ELECTRONIC SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT MIGHT BE AFFECTED BY ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (EX. CELL PHONE, LAPTOP) OR THE CONTROL MODULE MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE. THE SRS SYSTEM IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY BEYOND THE NORMAL 3YR/36K MILES... SINCE THIS IS A LIFE SAFETY SYSTEM THAT WAS "PROPERLY" INSTALLED, SHOULDN'T IT BE COVERED LIKE THE SEAT BELTS WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY? NO OTHER EXPLANATION WAS GIVEN AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE SRS LIGHT REMAINING ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS. *JB

SEATS
THE BACK OF DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT FELL OFF APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO. A BOLT WAS TIGHTENED AND THE SEAT SEEMED OK, BUT THEN BECAME LOOSE. CAR WAS AT DEALER FOR REGULAR SERVICING A FEW MONTHS AGO AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL. LAST WEEK SEAT BACK BECAME VERY LOOSE AND WHEN CAR WAS IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND WAS TOLD BRACKET WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT COST OF APPROXIMATELY $800. AFTER MUCH PROTEST, DEALER CLAIMED THEY NEEDED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. LATER THAT DAY THEY AGREED TO REPLACE AT NO COST AS "GOOD WILL" GESTURE AND SCHEDULED REPAIR FOR NEXT DAY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON BOTH THE ACCORD AND CIVIC AND THERE IS A NHTSA PENDING. REF ACTION # PE02072. I ALSO OWN A SATURN AND IT WAS RECALLED FOR A SIMILAR SEAT BRACKET PROBLEM . HONDA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WITH A RECALL. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I STARTED TO FEEL A LITTLE SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN OR BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY. I CALLED AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE HONDA DEALER. THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN FOR THREE DAYS SO I TOOK IT TO MIDAS IT. THE MAN TOLD ME I HAD SOME VERY BAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND COULD NOT TOUCH IT. HE SAID IT WAS LEAKING FLUID OUT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND ALL HE COULD DO WOULD BE TO FILL IT UP WITH THE SPECIAL FLUID THAT HONDA USES. SO $80.00 BUCKS LATER I GOT SOME FLUID IN IT AND THEN CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHY MY 2000 ACCORD THAT I PAID $25,000.00 HAD A BAD TRANSMISSION AFTER ONLY 72,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT ,WELL THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE 2000 ACCORD AUTO TRANSMISSIONS. I AM BEING TOLD TO BRING IT INTO THE SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT FOR A FEE OF $72.00 AN HOUR AND THEY WOULD TRY TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT SUPPOSEDLY THAT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 72 MONTHS OR 100,000 MILES. I CAN ONLY HOPE TO GOD THAT THIS IS TRUE. OR I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST $3,500.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHY WAS I NOT TOLD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, OR THE TIME OF ALL THE DIFFERENT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES I HAD DONE? I HAD RAN MY HONDA CIVIC UP TO 240,000 MILES WITH NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS 2000 ACCORD AND I WAS GOING TO BUY A NEW 2003 ACCORD NEXT MONTH. ALTHOUGH NOW I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR THAT I HAD THOUGHT WAS THE VERY BEST ON THE MARKET! IS THIS GOING TO BE UNDER A WARRANTY?. *JB

AIR BAGS, SEATS
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, A 2000 HONDA ACCORD COUPE EX V6, THE PASSENGER SEAT WILL NOT LOCK INTO PLACE AFTER MOVING THE SEAT FORWARD SO THAT REAR PASSENGERS CAN ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE, THEREFORE POSING AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANTS. I HAVE TOLD MY DEALERSHIP, ED VOYLES HONDA (MIKI MULLINAX IS MY SERVICE ADVISOR) ABOUT THIS SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS "JUST NORMAL". I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A CONDITION THAT IS POTENTIALLY SO DANGEROUS CAN BE "JUST NORMAL". ALSO, MY SRS INDICATOR HAS COME ON FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON AND I EXPLAINED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP, AFTER LOOKING AT THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS WEBSITE, AND THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE ME PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO SEE IF THIS WAS TRUE OR NOT. I ACTUALLY ALSO HAD AN INSTANCE OF THE FAILED MIL WHICH WAS RESOLVED BY MY DEALER YESTERDAY (HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN #00-017). PLEASE ADVISE ON THESE ISSUES. THANKS. JODY KELL PS: THE INCIDENT DATE THAT I AM USING IS THE DAY THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS WHEN THE SEAT ISSUE FIRST BEGAN.
