AIR BAGS
SRS LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 35,000 MILES MEANING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM OR AIRBAGS. CAR IS WELL KEPT AND IN NEW CONDITION. REPAIRS FOR THIS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT SRS. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2002 HONDA ACCORD IS SLIPPING IN 2ND GEAR. HONDA SAYS IT'S AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE YET HONDA'S REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD A LARGE AMOUNT OF ACCORDS COME IN WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IN FACT, THERE WAS AN ACCORD V6 THERE AT THAT TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA'S RECALL DEPT. BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE THERE WAS NO DIRECT "SAFETY ISSUE" THAT THERE WOULD NOT BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A TRANSMISSION DEFECT AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY A LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. HONDA SAID THEY WOULD PAY FOR 75% OF MY REPAIRS FOR A REBUILT TRANS. I WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY 500.00. THIS DOES NOT SEEM REASONABLE TO ME SINCE ALL ACCORD V6 MODELS ARE RECEIVING NEW (REBUILT) TRANS. DUE TO A RECALL. I HAVE A 4 CYLINDER AND FEEL IT SHOULD ALSO BE A PART OF THE RECALL. *LA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH MY 2002 2 DOOR HONDA ACCORD EX. THE POWER CUTS OFF AND THE CAR DIES WHILE IS DRIVING. I HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON WHILE DRIVING. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. NOW, THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS 2 OR 3 TIMES A MONTH.

AIR BAGS
SRS LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF. INDICATES THAT A FAULT EXISTS IN THE AIR BAG SAFETY SYSTEM. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURANCE. WITHIN THE FIRST 800 MILES OF OPERATION, THE LIGHT DID THE SAME THING. THE TECHNICIAN AT HONDA OF EL PASO IN EL PASO, TEXAS TURNED THE LIGHT OFF AND INFORMED ME THAT IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN, A PART WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000 MILES AND THE FAULT HAS REOCCURED. THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER OF THE REQUIRED PART IS NO LONGER PRODUCING THE PART.THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT JACK DIAMONDS HONDA IN TYLER, TEXAS. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH HANDICAP EQUIPMENT FOR USE BY MY WIFE. I CONSIDER THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH A NONOPERATIONAL AIR BAG SYSTEM.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE CAR HESITATES AND JERKS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 0-20 MPH. THE FLOOR IN THE BACK SEAT AREA OF THE CAR GETS VERY HOT MOST OF THE TIME WHEN DRIVING. CAR ALSO MAKES A STRANGE NOISE UPON ACCELERATION. DEALER DETERMINED THERE IS AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY I'M EXPECTED TO PAY $4,450 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION ON A CAR THAT'S NOT 3 YEARS OLD YET.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THE SRS WARNING LITE IS CONTINUALLY LIT AT 49,000 MILES. AFTER THE OBDII SCANNER WAS CONNECTED THE SYSTEM REPORTED CODE 7-1. CODE 7.1 REFERS TO SRS CONTROLLER UNIT FAILURE. THE CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND CLEANED. THE RECOMENED REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE SRS CONTROLLER UNIT AT A COST OF OVER 500 DOLLARS. THE SRS UNIT IS COMPUTER CONTROLLED AS EVEN THOUGH THE OTHER ENGINE COMPUTERS ARE WARANTYED FOR 8/80,000 THE SRS UNIT IS NOT. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THE CAR I PURCHASED FOR QUALITY AND RELIABILITY NO LONGER HAS FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS OR AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT TENSIONERS. HONDA HAS OPENED A CASE AND I MUST GO THROUGH MY LOCAL DEALER TO REQUEST A WARANTY EXTENTION ON THE PART. RD MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
I HAVE RESERVATIONS ABOUT WRITING TO YOU, BUT I DON'T WANT ANY OTHER FAMILIES TO LOOSE A LOVED ONE . I AM NOT EVEN SURE IF THIS IS A VALID COMPLAINT, BUT HERE IT GOES. MY MOTHER OWNED A HONDA ACCORD, I AM NOT SURE WHAT YEAR BUT SHE BOUGHT IT USED JUST RECENTLY AND IT WAS FAIRLY NEW, MY BROTHER HAS POSSESSION AT THIS TIME AWAITING THE BANK DECISION ON HER ESTATE. DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF APRIL 10, 2004, SOMETIME BETWEEN 2 AND 4 AM, MY MOTHERS CAR ALARM WENT OFF, THE NEIGHBORS WILL TESTIFY TO THIS. (I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FEATURE TO LET THE OWNER KNOW THE BATTERY WAS LOW, EXCEPT MY BROTHER HAD JUST CHARGED MY MOTHERS BATTERY THAT WEEK SOMETIME.) DURING THAT TIME THEY SAY IT WENT OFF AND STOPPED TWICE. THE SECOND TIME THEY THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY MOTHER POSSIBLY CALLING FOR HELP. SHE LIVED ALONE AND WAS 66 YEARS OLD. THE FIRST TIME THEY HEARD THE ALARM THEY THOUGHT MAYBE SHE HAD WENT TO THE CAR FOR SOMETHING AND ACCIDENTALLY SET THE ALARM OFF. SHE HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD A CARDIO -CONVERSION 3 WEEKS PRIOR, WHERE THE DOCTORS ACTUALLY SHOCK THE HEART TO GET A NORMAL RHYTHM, MY MOTHERS HEART WAS BEATING TOO FAST FOR AWHILE. THE PROCEDURE WAS SAID TO HAVE TOOK AND WAS TOO PROLONG HER LIFE 10 TO 15 MORE YEARS. THE CORONER'S REPORT STATES SHE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK. SHE WAS FOUND IN THE DINING ROOM FLOOR WITH HER FEET POINTING TOWARD THE GARAGE, SHE WAS ON HER WAY TO CHECK ON THE CAR. MY SISTER-IN-LAW, A REGISTERED NURSE STATED THAT THE HORN MAY HAVE SCARED MY MOTHER CAUSING HER BLOOD PRESSURE TO ELEVATE AND CAUSED A HEART ATTACK. SHOULDN'T THERE BE SOME SORT OF WARNING TO HEART PATIENTS CONSIDERING BUYING THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE? I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY EXCEPT PLEASE LET THE HONDA PEOPLE KNOW THIS IS A HAZARD. IF THIS ISN'T MAKING ANY SENSE TO YOU I APOLOGIZE, I HAVEN'T MADE SENSE OF ANYTHING SINCE I GOT THE CALL ABOUT MY MOM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. SINCERELY, [XXX]. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
