SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
OUR 2001 HONDA ACCORD HAD THE SAME TYPE OF BRAKE PROBLEM AS THE RECENT HONDA ODYSSEY AND ELEMENTS RECALL PROBLEM. THIS OCCURRED DURING COLD WEATHER AND BEGAN ABOUT ONE YEAR AFTER WE HAD EXTENSIVE BRAKE REPAIRS DONE. ONE COLD MORNINGS THE BRAKES HAD ALMOST NO "FEEL" AND REQUIRED US TO TRY TO JAM THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO SLOW OR STOP THE CAR. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER COULD NEVER FIND THE REASON FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

SRS LIGHT. THIS INVOLVES AIRBAG SYSTEM ON 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX. THIS WILL NOT ALLOW AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY IN A CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS NOT REPAIR BY DEALER, BECAUSE THEY SAID WE NEED TO REPLACE IT AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURED RECALL BY HONDA. THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY HONDA, NOT BY OWNER OF VEHICLE. *TR

INTERIOR LIGHTING
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BACKLIGHTING FAILS INTERMITTENTLY FOR DAYS AT A TIME. WHEN IT'S OUT, I CANNOT SEE THE SPEEDOMETER OR ANY GAUGES ON THE DASH AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO USE A FLASHLIGHT OR OTHER EXTERNAL LIGHTING TO SEE THE GAUGES. THE BACKLIGHTING NEVER FLICKERS -- IT'S EITHER ON OR IT'S OFF. I AM UNABLE TO DISCERN ANY PATTERN OR ACTION THAT CAUSES THE BACKLIGHTING TO GO OUT OR TO BEGIN WORKING AGAIN. THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS STILL WORK. MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX-V6 SEDAN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL 04V256000. MY DIMMER CONTROL WORKS WHEN THE BACKLIGHTING IS WORKING (AND STILL DIMS THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROLS EVEN WHEN THE BACKLIGHTING IS NOT WORKING). I REPLACED THE MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT AT MY OWN EXPENSE IN SEPT. 2009, BUT IT HAS HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED THE HONDA ACCORD RECALL INFORMATION MAILER DURING THE SUMMER 2009 FROM HONDA CORPORATION. I QUICKLY CALLED MY NEIGHBORHOOD HONDA DEALER AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE NECESSARY PARTS AND I WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE- ABOUT 1 WEEKS TIME. YESTERDAY (FEBRUARY 9TH, 2010) I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HONDA THAT THERE WAS AN EXPANDED RECALL AND ADDITIONAL HONDA VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. THIS MESSAGE REMINDED ME THAT I HAD NEVER HEARD BACK FROM SUSSEX HONDA REGARDING THE RECALL FROM THE SUMMER-TIME. I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT THAT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP HAD FAILED TO ADDRESS THE RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH TO ME, MEMBERS OF MY YOUNG FAMILY AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2001 HONDA 4-CYL EX REPEATEDLY EXPERIENCES TRANSMISSION SLIPPING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DECELERATING AND RE-ACCELERATING (E.G., IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR WHEN DESCENDING ON A PARKING GARAGE RAMP AND THEN REACCELERATING ONCE ON THE PARKING LEVEL. SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE A NEUTRAL IDLE FOLLOWED BY SUDDEN LURCH, TO NO TRACTION AND A RACING OF THE MOTOR WHILE THE VEHICLE "HUNTS" FOR TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR BEFORE ENGAGING. SYMPTOM IS MOST FREQUENT DURING A DECELERATION BETWEEN SECOND AND FIRST GEARS. SYMPTOM FIRST STARTED AT ~80K MILES AND HAS GRADUALLY WORSENED (CAR NOW HAS ~116K MILES). HONDA'S ONLY RESPONSE: YOU SHOULD BUY A NEW HONDA. I REPORTED TO DEALER AND HONDA NATIONAL OFFICE, BUT THEY COULD NOT "REPLICATE" THE SYMPTOM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD (WITH 80K MILES) AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WITH A JERK AND THE TRANSMISSION LOST POWER AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 30-40 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION THAT HONDA HAS IN THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING COULD PUT THE OCCUPANTS IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. HONDA STATES THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND INSTEAD WANTS THE CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE DESIGN/IMPLEMENTATION. *TW

DO NOT SEE ANY DEFECTS WITH GAS CAP AS FAR AS GASKETS BEING DEFECTIVE.*CW

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
IN 2003, I BOUGHT A 2001 HONDA ACCORD FROM PRIME HONDA (THEN KNOWN AS CLAIR). AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A MONTH, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WASN'T SHIFTING OUT OF GEAR PROPERLY. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THE GEAR SHIFTING/SLIPPING CONTINUED AND EVERY TIME I WENT IN FOR SERVICE AND TOLD THEM, THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM. I EVEN MENTIONED TO THEM THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT THERE WASN'T. THEY KEPT TELLING ME THAT THEY DROVE THE CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. AROUND DECEMBER 10TH OF 2009, I ONCE AGAIN TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND MENTIONED THAT SHIFTING OF GEARS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOKED OVER THE CAR AND AGAIN FOUND NOTHING. ON DECEMBER 17TH, I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE IS IN DEED A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT COULDN'T BE FIXED. *TR
