SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, PARKING BRAKE
BRAKES FAILED BUT ENGINE REVVED UP. HARDER I PUSHED THE BRAKES, THE CAR INCREASED SPEED. ON MOST OCCASIONS, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP OR USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. IN THIS INSTANCE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DID NOT HOLD AND CRASH OCCURRED. DEALER COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM WHEN INFORMED OF BRAKING ISSUE. IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT VERY SCARY. *NM

AIR BAGS
PLS SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 96V217000 SRS ALWAYS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. I'VE CONTACTED HONDA, AND THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED. 1995 HONDA ACCORD EX. THIS TYPE OF UNANTICIPATED AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN ABRASION TO THE HANDS, ARMS, OR FACE OF A PROPERLY-POSITIONED FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT, OR COULD CAUSE MORE SERIOUS INJURY TO AN OUT-OF-POSITION OCCUPANT. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAILING IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR (ENGINE LIGHT IS ON), WHICH IS ESSENTIAL PART OF THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM, IS REQUIRED ON MY 1995 HONDA ACCORD WAGON LX. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE TO THE MILEAGE AND SPEED SENSOR MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO HONDA NORTH AMERICA THE EXTENSION OF THE EMISSION WARRANTY (TSB# 98-081) GRANTED TO ALL 1995-V6, 1996-ALL AND 97-ALL ACCORDS, IS NOT APPLICABLE TO MY YEAR AND MODEL. SINCE THE SAME EXACT ISSUES WERE REPORTED FOR VEHICLES COVERED BY EXTENSION OF THE EMISSION WARRANTY (TSB#98-081), HONDA SHOULD ALSO EXTEND THIS COVERAGE TO 1995 V-4 ACCORDS.*JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40MPH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT INCIDENT. AS A RESULT MINOR INJURIES TO THE DRIVER'S FOREARM AND THE PASSENGER'S HEAD WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT IMPACT ANY KNOWN ROAD DEBRIS. THE DRIVER MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE INCIDENT. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS ALERTED AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AWAY FROM THE INCIDENT AND RETURNED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH DETERMINED THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED BUT WILL ONLY SPEAK WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE WAS NHTSA RECALL, # 96V217000 ISSUED IN 1996 FOR AN UNWARRANTED DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. THE CONTACT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE THEREFORE IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED OR IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
DT: THE CONTACT STATES THE SRS LIGHT IS ON, AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS CONTROLS THE AIR BAGS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE. SHE NOTICED THIS IN MAY-05. THE CONTACT TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JUNE-05. IT WILL COST $350.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE HONDA TOLD HER THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR AND THE YEAR OF THE CAR ARE ALSO FACTORS IN DETERMINING THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, EQUIPMENT
ON NOVEMBER 12, 2004, I NOTICED THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAY ON THE ENTIRE TIME THAT I DROVE THE CAR. (IT STILL DOES TO THIS DAY.) ON NOVEMBER 16, I TOOK IT TO CLASSIC HONDA OF SAN MARCOS, TX--DEALER #208339--FOR A CHECK UP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SRS CONTROL UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS A 1995 HONDA ACCORD STATION WAGON, MANUFACTURED IN JANUARY 1995. THE MILEAGE WAS 89,000 MILES WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES "WHEN THE CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD, HAVE THE DEALER INSPECT THE [SRS] SYSTEM." SO THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THE SYSTEM SHOULD FUNCTION NORMALLY FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. THE SRS SYSTEM IS ONE OF THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT, MUCH LIKE THE SEAT BELT. I KNOW HONDA HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE SEAT BELT AND THE REPLACEMENT MUFFLER. I FEEL THAT THE SRS SYSTEM SHOULD CARRY A LIFETIME WARRANTY AS WELL BECAUSE IT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL SAFETY. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER ON NOVEMBER 22, 2004 TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND ASKED THEM TO PAY FOR THE CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT. THEY DENIED. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH THROUGH THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT JUST LOOKING AT THE FIRST AND LAST FIVE PAGES OF THE COMPLAINTS SHOWS THAT THE SRS INDICATOR STAYING ON HAS BEEN QUITE COMMON (I FOUND 11 COMPLAINTS). I FOUND A COMPLAINT FILED AS RECENTLY AS JANUARY 24, 2005. THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE 96V217000 OUT FOR REPLACING THE SRS CONTROL UNIT. WAS THAT RECALL OUT IN SEPTEMBER 1996, AND WHAT WERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES? *AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
MY SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WHEN I HAD IT CHECKED BY THE MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT THE SRS CONTROL UNIT HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACING, TO THE TUNE OF ~$500. I RESEARCHED YOUR RECALL DATA BASE AND FOUND THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN SEPT OF 1996 (96V217000). THIS RECALL REPLACED THE SRS CONTROL UNIT. WHEN I CALLED HONDA I WAS TOLD THAT RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. MY VIN # IS [XXX]. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE DISCOVERED THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE UNITS FAILING ON HONDAS AND I WAS WONDERING IF THIS RECALL SHOULD HAVE COVERED A BROADER UNIVERSE OF VEHICLES.*AK UPDATED 07/25/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
