SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
REAR SEAT BELTS OFTEN RETRACT IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING THEM ON, MAKING THEM SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT PASSENGERS DO NOT WANT TO WEAR THEIR SEAT BELT. REAR SEAT BELTS NEED TO BE LONGER, OR NEED TO BE ABLE TO BE PULLED OUT FURTHER BEFORE GOING INTO RETRACT MODE, SO THEY CAN COMFORTABLY BE WORN. *LA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
DELPHI ALTERNATOR FAILED. FIRST NOTICED DUE TO NOISE COMING FROM ALTERNATOR. WITH NO DASH WARNING LIGHTS ON, VOLTAGE MEASURED AS LOW AS ~8 VOLTS, AND ENGINE THEN STALLED COMPLETELY WHEN HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WERE SWITCHED ON. CONFIRMED WIRING GOOD, REMOVED DISCHARGED BATTERY, RECHARGED BATTERY, BATTERY CONDITION LOAD-TESTED GOOD, AND WARNING LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON ONLY AFTER RUNNING ENGINE AT IDLE AND THEN ~3000RPM FOR ~5 MINUTES. VOLTAGE MONITORING CONFIRMED ONLY BATTERY VOLTAGE HAD BEEN PRESENT LONG BEFORE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. ALTERNATOR SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED THIS SOON, BUT NOT HAVING AN IMMEDIATE WARNING INDICATION THAT CHARGING SYSTEM HAS FAILED IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. (LUCKILY THE CAR STALLED IN MY GARAGE, NOT MINUTES BEFORE IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
CONCERNING MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX, VIN [XXX] THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THIS VEHICLE WHILE IT IS IN GEAR BUT I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT THIS VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECENT HONDA IGNITION RECALL. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME AND I'M WONDERING WHETHER THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THIS IS A FIRST OFF THE LINE 2000 AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE CAN BE A CUT OFF LIKE THIS. I DO NOT KNOW AT WHAT MILEAGE THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE KEY UNLESS THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK UNTIL YESTERDAY AFTER I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, TIRES:TREAD/BELT, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT ON THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES WHICH IS WAY TOO SOON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER AND HAD TO REPLACE THE EGR VALVE (COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). THE RIGHT HEADLAMP HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. THE FACTORY-INSTALLED CD PLAYER FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 37,000 MILES. I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE HONDA, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN TOO PLEASED WITH ALL THE LITTLE NITPICKING STUFF. THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE REPLACED AT THE APPROXIMATELY 50000 MILE MARK. THE NEW TIRES WERE DUNLAPS WHICH FAILED WITHIN 8 MONTHS. HOPEFULLY THE NEW ONES WILL MAKE IT.*AK

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THOUSANDS OTHERS ARE HAVING WITH THE SRS LIGHT STAYING ON. HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE BOTHER SOME ERROR CODE ONCE AND FOR ALL. PEOPLE ARE PAYING $80 TO $100 JUST FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, THEN MORE TO FIX OR RESET THE LIGHT. PLEASE HELP US IN THIS ENDEAVOR TO RATIFY A ANNOYING PROBLEM. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, PAUL RADICS. *AK
