AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THE "SRS" LIGHT HAS TURNED ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. HONDA IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME $360 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY AIR BAG/SEAT BELT RELATED. THE LIGHT REMAINS ON DURING MOTION AND WHILE THE ENGINE IS AT IDLE. MY VEHICLE IS AT 117,464 MILES. MY QUESTION IS IF HONDA HAS THE RIGHT TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE SOMETHING THAT IS RELATED TO SAFETY EQUIPMENT.

DEALER SAID MY AIR BAG WAS SPICE TOGETHER AND CAN'T BE REPLACE BECAUSE OF THE WIRE SPICE. THE HONDA SEND THE RECALL AIR BAG IS UNDER THE RECALL. THE HONDA DEALER REPLACE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR ALREADY, I PAID FOR THE INFLATOR AT THE DEALER. WOULD THE SPICE WIRE DISQUALIFY MY CAR FROM REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG?

TAKATA RECALL: THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN THE USA AND SENT TO GREECE FOR USE THERE. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CORRECT THE AIR BAG ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS WORKING WITH HONDA AMERICA BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO RESULTS. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN GREECE IS CONSTANTLY LYING ABOUT ORDERING THE PARTS, NO WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION IS EVER GIVEN TO STATE THE PARTS ARE ORDERED, OR NOT IN, ETC. WE'VE HAD TO GET A RENTAL THIS PAST SUMMER BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. SEVERAL LETTERS HAVE BEEN SENT TO HONDA AMERICA AS WELL AS PHONE CALLS AND WE ARE BEING IGNORED ON ALL ENDS! WHAT ARE OUR RIGHTS IN THIS MATTER? HOW CAN WE GET THEM TO RESPOND AND TAKE SOME DEFINITIVE ACTION? CAN WE SUE? THIS CAR ALSO HAS A RECALL ON AN IGNITION PROBLEM.

EVERY TIME I DROVE THE CAR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS MAKING NOISES AT THE WHEEL. I HAD MY MECHANIC TAKE THE WHEEL OFF TO CHECK IT. HE NOTICED THAT THE SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. I TRIED TO PURCHASE THE PART FROM HONDA ESTORE AND THEY DON'T SELL A SUBFAME SO I CALLED OVER 25 USED PARTS STORES AND ALL 25 OR SO PLACES TOLD ME THE SAME THING "ON EVERY 1999-2002 HONDA THAT WE'VE SEEN THAT PART IS RUSTED AWAY". I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED SINCE IT IS SUCH A LARGE PROBLEM WITH EVERYONE THAT I'VE SPOKE TO.

MY REQUIRES THE SWITCH RECALL DONE DEALER SAYS ITS NOT COVERED BY THE VIN. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AS HONDA RECOMMEND I MARKED THE COVER WITH CLEAR TAPE .THEY CLAIMED TO LOOK AT IT BUT DIDN'T. THEY DID GET THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE RIGHT ON THE JOB CARD. SO I DID THE RESEARCH I'M ASE TECH FOR 15YRS AND FOUND HONDA DOCUMENT AND PERFORMED INSPECTION AND FOUND THAT RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ON THIS CAR. I WENT TO DEALER AND GOT THE PART LISTED IN THE DOCUMENT AND COMPARED IT TO THE ORIGINAL AND FOUND THEM TO BE AS DESCRIBED EVEN THE MATERIALS USED ON THE CONSTRUCTION WERE DIFFERENT AND IMPROVED ON THE NEW PARTS. I THINK HONDA IS LYING ABOUT HOW MANY OF THESE SWITCHES ARE FAULTY. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN ON 5/18/2015 FOR THE RECALL ON THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG AT HONDA REDWOOD CITY, CA. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY ON 7/16/2016 WITH FRONTAL IMPACT GOING 35-50 MPH AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. BASED ON THE SPEED AND LOCATION OF IMPACT I BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A CLUNKING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE DRAIN FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER LEAKED ONTO THE SUBFRAME AND CAUSED IT TO BECOME RUSTED AND FRACTURED. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE PART WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED; HOWEVER, A REPAIR WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS--IT IS WORSE WHEN I STOP, THE ENGINE IDLES, AND THEN SEVERELY JERKS WHEN I ACCELERATE, BUT THE JERKING MOTION ALSO HAPPENS GOING UP INCLINES. IT IS SO BAD, IT HAS CAUSED BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO FAIL, WHICH COULD BE HAZARDOUS WHILE DRIVING. THOUGH I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR, I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS JUST OLDER AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS NATURALLY FAILING, BUT DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S TRANSMISSIONS IN GENERAL, BUT PARTICULARLY WITH THE '02 ACCORD. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2013, BUT I WILL PUT TODAY'S DATE AS IT STILL IS HAPPENING. I FEEL LIKE THIS ISSUE IS SO PREVALENT AMONG HONDA OWNERS THAT HONDA REALLY SHOULD DO RIGHT BY THEIR CUSTOMERS AND RECALL THE TRANSMISSION.
