IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL IN MARCH 2005 ON THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD FOR IGNITION PARK INTERLOCK. I CHECKED THE CAR BY LEAVING IT IN DRIVE, TURNED OFF ENGINE AND REMOVED KEY - CAR THEN BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THIS IS WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. SINCE THE VIN NUMBERS DIDN'T MATCH WHAT HONDA DETERMINED TO BE FAULTY, THEY NOW SAY THAT IT ISN'T THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. I AM CONFUSED HOW THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SOME CARS BUT NOT OURS. BECAUSE IT WASN'T LISTED WITHIN THE RANGE OF VIN NUMBERS ACCORDING TO HONDA? SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

TAKADA INFLATORS. MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD HAS HAD 2 RECALLS ON THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR OR AIRBAG. THE SRS LIGHT IS ON ALL OF THE TIME. I EXPLAINED THAT THE LIGHT USED TO COME ON AND GO OFF WHEN IT WAS VERY HUMID OR HAD RAINED. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF THAT, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. I ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY WOULD CONTACT HONDA AND ASK IF THEY COULD REPLACE BOTH AIRBAGS OR INFLATORS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT SINCE IT HADN'T BEEN A PART OF THE RECALL. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR/BAG AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH THE SRS LIGHT STILL ON. RECENTLY I HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. ONCE AGAIN I REQUESTED THAT THEY CONTACT HONDA TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE SINCE THE SRS LIGHT IS STILL ON. ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THEY WOULDN'T DO SO AS IT ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THE INJURIES AND DEATHS RELATED TO THE SRS/INFLATORS, WHY WOULDN'T THEY INVESTIGATE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS? I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO SO MYSELF. THEN THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME HE'D NOTE IN THE HISTORY THAT I "REFUSED TO FIX IT". I WENT AHEAD AND SCHEDULED A TIME TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. AFTER I GOT OFF THE PHONE, IT REALLY MADE ME MAD THE WAY THE DEALER IMPLIED THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM AND NOTE THE HISTORY. SO, I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL NUMBER BACK AND ASKED THEM TO NOTE ON THE HISTORY OF MY CAR THAT I INFORMED HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SRS LIGHT AND THEY CHOSE TO NOT EVEN LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. I'M WRITING THIS TO PUT HONDA ON NOTICE THAT I HAVE NOTIFIED THEM OF THE SRS PROBLEM AND REQUESTED THAT THEY FIX IT UNDER THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD "NO" TWICE! A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET MAKES IT OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO HONDA'S ATTENTION AND THEY CHOSE TO IGNORE IT.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS GIVEN ME A PROBLEM ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2011. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE MUFFLER FIXED TWICE JUST RECENTLY MARCH 22,2016 COST WAS $422 AND PRIOR IN 2014.. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT JUST KEEPS COMING ON ,AND THE VEHICLE INSPECTION IS FAILING BECAUSE OF EMISSIONS. I AM FEARFUL THAT ODORLESS GASSES ARE SEEPING INTO THE CAR WHICH IS A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND PASSANGERS

MY CAR IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STOPPED ON HIGHWAYS, BUSY INTERSECTIONS, DAYTIME-NIGHTIME. HONDA DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS OTHER REPAIR SHOPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THEIR ELECTRICAL TESTS. THEY TEST DRIVE AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. THE CAR WILL GO 2 -3 BETWEEN OCCURENCES, BUT IT HAPPENS. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED. PRESENTLY, THE CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AT 125,000 MILEAGE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAPPENS TO OTHER HONDAS. IF THIS IS TRUE, THIS WARRANTS A RECALL. THE HOOD ON MY ACCORD DOES NOT CLOSE. THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY ACCORD IS SUFFERING FROM SOME SEVERE RUST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SUB FRAME. I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT IT IS WORSE THAN I HAD THOUGHT. THE RUST AFFECTS THE AREA IN WHICH THE SWAY BAR IS MOUNTED TO THE FRAME, WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM IS MOUNTED, AND ALSO SUPPORTS THE ENGINE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL, CAUSED BY AN A/C DRAIN HOSE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND HOPE HONDA HEARS MY/OUR CONCERNS.

AIR BAGS
MAY HAVE TO DO WITH TAKATA RECALL. AS LONG AS I'VE HAD THE CAR (I BOUGHT IT NEW) THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS GONE ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I'VE HAD ALL RECALL WORK DONE. THE LIGHT PERSISTS IN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. EVERY TIME MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE I ASK THEM TO CHECK THIS MATTER TO SEE WHY THAT'S HAPPENING, AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME IT'S NOT A PROBLEM AND THE AIRBAGS AND THE LIGHT ARE FUNCTIONING AS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE. SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. I NOTICE THAT THEY NEVER MAKE MENTION OF HAVING CHECKED THIS OUT ON THE SERVICE ORDER. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME, MOVING, STATIONARY, ANY TYPE OF STREET OR HIGHWAY, TURNING, ETC. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND UNDER ANY CONDITIONS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. I'M REALLY BECOMING CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY FACTOR AND IF I WOULD HAVE A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WAS REAR-ENDED--HARD--AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY SHOULD IN A REAR-END COLLISION, BUT THEY DIDN'T. I COULDN'T GIVE A DATE AS PER YOUR FORMAT BECAUSE THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM 2002 UNTIL THE PRESENT, 2015, SO THE DATE I ENTERED BELOW IS TODAY'S DATE. I ALSO COULD NOT GIVE A MILEAGE BECAUSE THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM 0 MILES TO THE 47,000 MILES THE CAR NOW HAS ON IT.
