2000 Honda Accord complaints

CAR FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR COLLISION ON I-94 IN CHICAGO, IL. THE MAIN RELAY SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD, AND HONDA MUST BE FORCED TO LOOK INTO THIS. THIS IS THE SAME CAR WHERE THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED WITHIN A YEAR. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE, FOR THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS AND OTHER VEHICLE DRIVERS WHO MAY BE INVOLVED IN THESE VEHICLE FAILURES. *NM

IN REFERENCE TO A 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH NEARLY 160,000 MILES. THE SRS LIGHT CAME HOME A FEW DAYS AGO. THE SRS LIGHT INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WILL NOT LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT ME PAYING THEM NEARLY $100. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS SRS LIGHT INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH AN OPDS SENSOR AND IS COMMON IN THIS YEAR MODEL. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO CONTACT. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AND REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS SENSOR AND IN NO WAY COULD I HAVE "BROKEN" THIS OR CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEARCHED AND SEARCHED FOR RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, BUT NOTHING! PLEASE HELP! *NM

2000 HONDA ACCORD HIT THE BACK OF A HYUNDAI SONOMA AT RATE OF SPEED AROUND 50 MPH. AIR BAGS ON HONDA DID NOT DEPLOY FOR DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDES. DRIVER OBTAINED HEAD INJURIES AND NECK TRAUMA. HONDA IS AT TOW YARD. *NM

I PURCHASED A 2000 HONDA ACCORD USED IN 2003. IT HAD APPROX 14,000 MILES. AT 30,000 I HAD TO TURN THE ROTORS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY DRIVING HABITS THAT CAUSED IT. I AM 54 YRS OLD AND HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO TURN ROTORS UNTIL NEAR 60,000. I AGAIN WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AT 45,000 AND THEY TURNED THEM AGAIN. I NOW HAVE 54,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE FRONT END IS SHAKING AGAIN WHEN I DRIVE AND BRAKE NORMALLY AT 60 MILES AN HOUR. I'M GOING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO HONDA AGAIN. IF MY ROTORS NEED REPLACING THEN I PLAN TO ASK FOR MY PARTS BACK SO I CAN SHOW NYS DEPT OF MOTOR VEHICLES AND ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON HONDA BRAKES AND I CAN'T FIND ANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OR RECALLS FOR MY MODEL AND YEAR. UNBELIEVABLE. I WANT NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS. I RECENTLY GOT A CLASS ACTION SUIT LETTER REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION - THEY ARE EXTENDING MY WARRANTY 9 MONTHS - BIG DEAL. THE ATTORNEYS GET RICH AND IF MY TRANSMISSION GOES AFTER THE EXTRA 9 MONTHS THEN I PAY. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THERE WAS A LAG IN THE TRANSMISSION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SEEN BY A DEALER.

SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. HONDA ACCORD EX 2000. MANY OTHERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *NM

SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS A PROBLEM OF MANY HONDA VEHICLES, AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR, UP TO $700. *JB

2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH SRS LIGHT ON. DEALER REPLACED AIR BAG COMPUTER. 2 MONTHS LATER, SRS LIGHT BACK ON. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WAS LOOSE ON THE FLOOR BASE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHO DETERMINED THE SEAT ADJUSTOR BRACKET THAT ATTACHED THE SEAT TO THE SEAT BASE WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE WELDED BACK ONTO THE BASE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ABOUT 6.30 PM AND IN A FLASH MY DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT. I WENT TO A HONDA DEALER, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT, AND IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. SO I LOOKED UP ,IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, THEIR IS, BUT HONDA SAID MY VIN# WASN'T ON THEIR LIST. *NM

SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR WEEKS, FOUND IT MEANS FAULTY AIRBAG. FOUND HONDA ISSUED "TECHNICAL BULLETIN 02034 (UPDATE 06-009) FOR A FAULTY CONTROL UNIT THAT CAUSED THE SRS TO COME ON. THE WARRANTY IS FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES." CALLED STEVENS CREEK HONDA DEALERSHIP (SAN JOSE), AND SERVICE ADVISOR QUOTED $126 JUST FOR CHECKING IF MY CASE APPLIES TO IT. IF IT IS, HE SAID HE WILL CALL HONDA FOR ACTION. WHY DOES NOT HONDA JUST RECALL THIS ? DO I HAVE TO PAY $126 JUST TO SEE IF IT IS WARRANTY ITEM ? I KNOW FROM WEBSITE (HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM) THAT MANY GUYS ARE REPORTING SAME PROBLEM. THANKS. *NM

SRS LIGHT STAYS ON MEANING AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. AFTER RESET IT COMES ON AGAIN. *NM

CAR HIT A DITCH GOING 40-50 MPH. AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY RESULTING IN BROKEN RIB SUBDURAL HEMATOMA AND SEVERE BRUISING ON HEAD AND CHEST. CAR WAS TOTALED OUT BY INSURANCE COMPANY. *NM

2000 HONDA ACCORD SE WITH 105K MILEAGE. THE SRS FAULTY LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON, WHICH I WAS TOLD MAY COST OVER $1000 TO FIX. AIRBAG SYSTEM IS A BASIC SAFETY FEATURE IN AUTOMOBILE. IT SHOULD HAVE LIFE TIME WARRANTY ON IT SAME AS THE SEAT BELT. *NM

THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON FOR MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THIS IS THE 6TH OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS IN 2002 AND TODAY, OCTOBER 18, 2006, IT IS ON AGAIN FOR THE 6TH TIME. WHEN THIS LIGHT STAYS ON THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY SHOULD THERE BE AN ACCIDENT. ACCORDING TO NEW YORK STATE LAW, IF A VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS THEY MUST BE FUNCTIONING. *NM

I TOO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SRS LIGHT. IT CAME ON ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I NEW THEY WOULD CHARGE A SMALL FOURTUNE TO REPAIR. THEN I RECEIVED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY LETTER. HOWEVER, I CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE UP MY CAR FOR A DAY OR SO WHILE THEY DIAGNOSE WHAT THE CAUSE IS. *NM

1. EARLY (2006) I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE WAS ON, THE CAR WOULD BUCKLE WHEN CHANGING GEARS AND IT WAS HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THIS WOULD OCCUR MORE OFTEN AFTER A STOP. I WOULD FIND MYSELF TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION, ETC. AND THE CAR WOULD PARTIALLY STALL. HONDA IN JERSEY CITY NJ RT 440 REPLACED THE ERG (?) VALUE AFTER I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. 2. PICKED UP THE CAR AFTER A 1 MILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RETURNED AND THE CAR WAS GIVING ME THE SAME ISSUE. 3. HONDA REPLACED AN ADDITIONAL PART, THE CAR APPEARED TO BE DRIVING FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. 4. DROPPED OFF THE HONDA FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT AND THE BUCKLING ISSUE WHEN CHANGING GEARS TO PLANET HONDA ON RT 22 IN ELIZABETH NJ. THE CAR WAS RETURNED STATING NO PROBLEM. THE ISSUE WAS NEVER RESOLVED. 5. I PROBLEM IN RECENT MONTHS HAD WORSEN, YESTERDAY 10/9/06 THE CAR STARTED STALLING I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO A MECHANIC. THE PROBLEM IDENTIFIED NEW TRANSMISSION REQUIRED. MECHANIC ALSO IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS BEING SEEN BY HIM ON OTHER HONDA V6 CARS. I WANT TO MENTIONED THAT MY CAR WAS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHILE IN THE SHOP IN JERSEY CITY AN OF COURSE THE PARTS REPLACED WERE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, GRANTED THAT TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE BEEN. I HAVE ALSO FOUND A LIST OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR V6 TRANSMISSION FAILING AROUND THE 85K MILEAGE JUST AS MINE. BELOW IS ONE OF THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS I FOUND WITH A SIMPLE SEARCH. HTTP://WWW.AUTOFAN.COM/FORUM_TH

I OWN A 2000 ACCORD EXL V6 AND MY SRS LIGHT JUST CAME ON AND I HAVE ABOUT 95K MILES. *JB

WHILE DRIVING MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX LAST WEEK THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED JERRY DAMSON HONDA AND WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY GIVEN TO SOME HONDA OWNERS WHICH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. IF THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SRS LIGHT COMING ON THERE SHOULD NOT BE AN EXCEPTION FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. THIS IS UNFAIR!!!! MY BRAKE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON AND GOES OFF EVEN AFTER A PART WAS REPLACED. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS WAS MY FIRST HONDA AND WILL BE MY LAST!!!!*JB

DASH BOARD LIGHTS WENT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS INVISIBLE IN NIGHT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I COULD NOT READ ANY OF THE INSTRUMENT PANELS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR FAILURE ANALYSIS AND REPAIRS. THEY FOUND THAT THE MULTIPLEX UNIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR HAD FAILED AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. HONDA HAS ALREADY ISSUED RECALL FOR THE SAME COMPONENT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE SAME MODEL YEAR (2000) CAR AS MINE, BUT SINCE MY VIN# WAS NOT PART OF RECALL, THEY REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL. AT THIS POINT I HAD TO PAY $428.00 TO GET THE CAR FIXED. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO TAKE THIS UP HONDA TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE AS PART OF RECALL AS THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL YEAR. THE RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER FOR THIS PROBLEM IN NHTSA DATABASE IS 04V256000 AND HONDA RECALL NUMBER IS P36.*JB

HONDA SRS LIGHT ON. DEALER WILL CHECK. *NM

AFTER YEARS OF PAYING $100 A SHOT TO HAVE MY HONDA ACCORD SRS LIGHT ANALYZED AND TURNED OFF, THE OPDS WAS REPLACED UNDER HONDA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. GUESS WHAT? THE SRS LIGHT CAME BACK ON A WEEK LATER. I'M TOLD BY HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE TO GO BACK TO A DEALER, PAY ANOTHER $100 FOR ANOTHER EVALUATION. THEY ALSO SAID I COULD GET REIMBURSED FOR ALL THE TIMES I ALREADY PAID THE FEE IF I COULD GET THE SERVICE HISTORY FROM THE DEALERS. GUESS HOW COOPERATIVE THE DEALERSHIPS ARE BEING AT PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION? I WONDER HOW MUCH THE COMPANY HAS MADE OFF OF THIS "DEFECT" AND HOW MANY PEOPLE -- LIKE MYSELF -- ARE STILL DRIVING AROUND WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WONDERING IF MY AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT? MY NYS INSPECTION IS COMING UP AND I'M NOT GOING TO PASS UNLESS I PAY YET AGAIN FOR THIS LIGHT TO BE EVALUATED AND SIMPLY SHUT OFF...ONLY TO TURN ON AGAIN IN DAYS. *NM

THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, THE CODE SAID BAD EGR VALVE, SO IT WAS CLEANED OUT, WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK, THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED AND 8 MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SAYING THAT THE EGR VALVE IS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. *NM

AIRBAG MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON. CREATING A CRITICAL AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT AND IS COVERED BY LAW AS STATED BY NHTSA ON THERE WEB SITE UNDER VOQ AND RECALL BOOKLET. THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION CREATES A SITUATION IN WHICH COULD CAUSE DEATH AND CRITICAL INJURIES TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. THEY REFUSE 100% TO REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION. THEY REFUSED TO LET ME SPEAK TO A DEPT. SUPERVISOR. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE DEPT. SUPERVISOR NEVER CONTACTS OR SPEAKS TO ANY CUSTOMER. STATING THAT THIS WAS THE WAY THEY DO BUSINESS. I SPOKE TO MR. TODD YAMATSUKA AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. AT AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I TOLD HIM MORE THAN ONE TIME THAT THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION WAS A CRITICAL SAFETY RELATED DEFECT AND I ALSO INFORMED HIM THAT BY REFUSING TO REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION WOULD BE A VIOLATION UNDER NHTSA LAW REQUIREMENTS. HE EVEN OFFERED ME WHAT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A BRIBE, STATING THAT HE COULD GET ME FREE SPARK PLUGS, DIST.CAP, AND WIRES. I REFUSED TO ACCEPT THIS. IN ORDER TO END THIS CONVERSATION I ASK FOR THE LAST TIME IF HE WAS GOING TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION HE STATED NO. PS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT OEM STANDS FOR PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN EVER POSSIBLE. *NM

SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THERE IS NO APPARENT PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THIS LIGHT IS ON AND DEALERSHIP WANTS TONS OF MONEY TO FIX IT. SINCE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY FEATURE, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS COMMON PROBLEM AND I THINK YOU REALLY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. *NM

I PURCHASE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD 4DR.SEDAN, S/E NEW IN 2000. ON APRIL 18,2005 WHILE HAVING THE OIL/FILTER CHANGED AT HONDA WEST IN LAS VEGAS, NV I WAS INFORMED THAT A SWAY BAR LINK WAS BROKEN. IT WAS REPLACED BY THAT DEALERSHIP AT A COST OF $103.58 TO ME. I SAW THE BROKEN PART AND IT APPEARED TO HAVE BROKEN AT THE WELD ON THAT PART. THAT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE. ON SEPT 17, 2006, I WAS HAVING THE OIL/FILTER CHANGED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE "SWAY BAR LINK" ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BROKEN, I SAW THAT ALSO AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE BROKEN AT THE WELD LIKE THE ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE A YEAR BEFORE. AT THIS POINT I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA OF AMERICA AND THEY SAY THAT THE RECALL YOU SHOW ON JULY 12, 2000, CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 00V184000 DOES NOT EFFECT MY VEHICLE. NOTE I DID NOT GET THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED IN LAS VEGAS, AND I HAVE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE BROKE PART NOW REPLACED BY BATTLE CREEK HONDA PROBABLY ON WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY THIS WEEK. I WILL GET THE BROKEN PART THIS TIME. *NM

SRS LIGHT CAME ON (AGAIN). ALMOST A YEAR AGO,I HAD THE SRS UNIT REPLACED WHICH COST >$1200: THE DEALER HAD MY CAR FOR A MONTH - THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THE SRS LIGHT WOULDN'T GO OUT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE INNER LOCK ON THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS NOT WORKING WHICH ALLOWED THE KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V025000, REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH . THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. UPDATED 10/04/06. *JB

MY CAR IS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE. THE SRS LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. IT IS GOING TO COST A LOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE PART. THERE ARE MAY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AREA OF CONCERN. WHEN IS THE RECALL GOING TO BE ISSUED? *NM

THE SRS LIGHT COMES ON BY ITSELF. THIS MEANS THAT AIRBAGS WON'T BE DEPLOYED IN A CRASH. THE DEALER SAID IT WILL SCOST ~ 1000-1500 $ TO FIX IT. AIRBAGS SHOULD BE COVERED FOR LIFETIME. READING THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/2001/SEAT_BELTS_AIR_BAGS/SRS_LIGHT_KEEPS_COMING_ON.SHTML THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT. *NM

SRS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. *JB

(1) SRS INDICATOR TURNED ON AND STAYS ON (2) COULD INDICATE PROBLEMS WITH THE SRS SYSTEM. *NM

SRS STAYS ON. *JB

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX (SRS LIGHT REMAIN ON). GAS PEDAL GET STUCK, ROTOR AND DRUM WAS BENDED. *NM

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD NOT WORK. I CALLED MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT "SOME" OF THE 2000 ACCORDS WERE COVERED IN BY AN EXTENDED (10 YEAR, 150K MILE) WARRANTY FOR THIS SYSTEM. HOWEVER, WHEN THEY RAN THE VIN ON MY 2000 ACCORD, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MINE WAS NOT COVERED. THEY COULD GIVE ME NO ANSWER AS TO WHY SOME OF 2000 WERE COVERED BUT MINE, WHICH HAS THIS CRITICAL SAFETY PROBLEM, WAS NOT. HONDA IS MAKING A BIG MISTAKE WITH THIS VITAL SAFETY ISSUE. *JB

1) THE SRS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. 2) PASSENGER SIDE SEAT-BELT OCCASSIONALLY UNCLIPS ITSELF. *NM

AT AROUND 43,000 MILES, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN OUR 2000 HONDA ACCORD. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $60 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THEN A CHARGE FOR FIXING THE DEFECTIVE PART. I ASKED WHAT WOULD BE THE COST TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG, IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME THE COST. *NM

OUR HONDA ACCORD 2000 SE WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A PICKUP TRUCK. THE CAR WAS TOTALED, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOU AWARE HOW OUR SON WAS INJURED. OUR SON WAS IN A CENTURY 44164ELM CAR SEAT SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER (MY WIFE). THE METAL BUCKLE THAT IS USED TO ADJUST THE SEAT BELT SIZE (IN THE BACK) SHEARED FROM THE PLASTIC DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT. AS A RESULT THE UPPER PART OF OUR SON'S BODY BECAME A PROJECTILE AND THE SEAT BELT DID NOT KEEP HIM IN THE CAR SEAT. OUR SON'S HEAD LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE SEAT REST IN FRONT HIM. DUE TO THE IMPACT HE SUFFERED A SKULL FRACTURE, AND FORTUNATELY EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW. I HAVE THE CAR SEAT SAVED IF CENTURY WANTS TO SEE IT. IN MY OPINION IT SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE THIS IS UNSAFE. IT IS NOT ON CENTURY'S RECALL LIST IT SEEMS. *JB

THE SRS LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AFTER BEING RESET. THE COMPUTER CODE IS 9-4 OUR MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT SENSOR. *JB

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, MY HONDA ACCORD EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DASHBOARD. THE LIGHT WOULD FLICKER OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING DURING THE NIGHT. EVENTUALLY THAT FLICKERING STOPPED AND THE WHOLE INTERIOR LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. I TOOK IT IN TO A CERTIFIED ASE AUTO MECHANIC AND HE SAID THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND TO CHECK MY MAIL AND FILES FOR ANY LETTERS. I FOUND A LETTER IN MY FILES DATING BACK TO JULY 2004 STATING A SAFETY RECALL ON 2000-2001 ACCORD LX V6 MODELS FOR THE MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT IN THE DASHBOARD HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO HEAT BUILDUP AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE INSIDE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FAIRFAX HONDA DEALER IN VIRGINIA AND THEY COULD NOT HONOR MY RECALL BECAUSE MY VIN# DID NOT CALL FOR IT. I CONTACTED HONDA CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS LISTED AS A HONDA ACCORD LX 4-CYLINDER. I SPOKE TO A REP. NAMED ANDREA. AFTER CHECKING MY FILES MORE THOROUGHLY, THEY CONFIRMED MY CAR WAS A HONDA ACCORD EX V6. THE RECALL WAS FOR A LX V6, NOT A EX V6. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE EX HAS A DIFFERENT TRIM THEN THE LX, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME, DUE TO HEAT BUILD UP THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MAY NOT DISPLAY LIGHTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR A DRIVER AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. HONDA CORPORATION SHOULD PROVIDE A WORKAROUND OR TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR DEFEC

SRS LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL STAYS ON.. *NM

DT* : THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCELERATOR STICKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY SERVICE-USING CARBURETOR CLEANER. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE THE SAME PROBLEMS RECURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT; THE ACCELERATOR BECAME STUCK SENDING THE VEHICLE CRASHING INTO A WALL OF A BRICKED BUILDING CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT LEFT SIDE. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE CONTACT INCURRED MINOR INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WILL NEED STRUCTURAL REPAIRS AND AIR BAG REPLACEMENT.

SRS LIGHT STAYING ON AFTER 100K MILES. *JB

ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS CLOSED DUE TO OBSTRUCTION IN THROTTLE BODY. TO OVERCOME INERTIA; EXCESS PRESSURE ON PEDAL IS REQUIRED. WHEN OBSTRUCTION CLEARS; ENGINE RPM IS VERY HIGH CAUSING VEHICLE TO SURGE IF IN GEAR. CLEANING THROTTLE BODY IS REQUIRED EVERY SIX MONTHS. COST IS PROHIBITIVE. *NM

MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO A SAFETY ITEM, THE AIRBAGS OF THE CAR. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (OPEN ROAD HONDA) THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST 105 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THEN FROM THERE IT WOULD BE ADDITIONAL COSTS. I READ ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT ALL SAFETY ITEMS SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO COST. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT ONLY SAFETY BELTS ARE UNDER THAT WARRANTY. I'M VERY UNHAPPY. I LOOKED AROUND SOME WEBSITES AND OTHER DEALERS HAVE FIXED IT FOR NO COST. WHY IS MY LOCAL DEALER ASKING ME FOR 105 JUST TO DIAGNOSE A SAFETY PRODUCT ON MY CAR? IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT MY AIRBAGS ON! I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING IT SINCE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I BOUGHT THE CAR WAS BECAUSE IT HAS AIRBAGS. NOW THEY DON'T WORK. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES AND THE SENSOR SYSTEM IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THAT DETECTS WHETHER A PERSON IS PROPERLY SEATED IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE MY SRS WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYS ON DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. I AM UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED GIVEN ITS EARLY FAILURE RATE SINCE I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA/ACURA CUSTOMER FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I HOPE THERE IS A RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS MANY 2000-2001 ACCORDS/3.2TL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AN UNDETERMINED SPEED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SURGE FORWARD ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

MY "MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP' ON MY 6 CYLINDER 2000 HONDA ACCORD CAME ON. THE DEALER LET ME KNOW THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTICS POINTED TO A PROBLEM WITH CYLINDER #4. HE HAD ME AUTHORIZE A $1000 "TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE" ESTIMATE IN CASE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THE REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA CORP SENT THEIR ADJUSTER TO DETERMINE THAT IT WAS EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALER HAD THE PARTS SENT TO A MACHINIST TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS A DAMAGED PART IN THE CYLINDER THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A $2300 APPROXIMATE REPAIR BILL TO PAY ON MY OWN IF NO DAMAGE IS FOUND. NOT THAT LONG AGO, I SPENT $300 AT THE DEALERSHIP CLEANING A CARBON BUILD UP PROBLEM THAT WAS CAUSING MY ACCELERATOR TO STICK. *NM

CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON - MAKING DRIVER THINKING THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ENGINE. SINCE I HAVE A CHILD I TOOK MY CAR TO MANCHESTER HONDA, FOUND THAT MY GAS CAP WAS NOT ON TIGHT. MANCHESTER HONDA CHARGED ME $163 AND THIS IS THE BIGGEST SCAM HONDA EVER DOES THIS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE DID THEY DO THIS TOO...*NM

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX, MY SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE REPAIR. THEN RECENTLY, I RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM HONDA SAYING THE SRS HAS HAD PROBLEMS AND IF YOU HAD OR HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, THEY WILL REPAIR IT FREE OF CHARGE. HOWEVER, IT IS A 10 YR OR 150,000 MI. LIMIT. WELL, I COMMUTE TO WORK AND I HAVE OVER 197,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE, I JUST HAVE TO USE MY CAR MORE. I FEEL IF THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM IS DEFECTIVE PARTS AND A SAFETY ISSUE, THERE SHOULD BE NO QUESTION THAT EVERYONE IS COVERED. *NM
