2000 Honda Accord complaints

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A ROUTINE INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WORN OUT PARTS. *AK

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX HAS 60,000 MILES. A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAGS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE LIGHT IS STILL ILLUMINATED, WHICH IS BOTHERSOME SINCE I'M DRIVING AROUND WITH FAULTY AIRBAGS. THERE APPARENTLY ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR CARS OF MY MAKE AND MODEL THAT YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED HONDA TODAY, THEY SAID THAT MY CAR ISN'T INCLUDED IN THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS CORRECTED AND BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CARS FROM MY YEAR. I HAVE HAD NO RECENT IMPACTS THAT WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO HAVE SUCH PROBLEMS. IT IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD.*AK

DEFECTIVE PAINT ON NEW 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SPOT PAINTED NUMEROUS TIMES BUT STILL HAS PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP UNWILLING TO ASSIST WITH PROBLEM; AMERICAN HONDA CORP.

BRAKES - I TOOK MY CAR INTO LIA HONDA IN ALBANY IN APRIL 2004 FOR MY NYS INSPECTION AND 30,000 MILE SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED ROTORS TURNED. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT I NEEDED ROTORS TURNED AT 29,000 MILES. PERHAPS THIS IS NORMAL BUT PREVIOUSLY I OWNED A NISSAN AND I DID NOT HAVE TO DO ANY BRAKE WORK UNTIL 50,000 MILES. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS IN CASE THERE WERE ANY OTHER OWNERS OF HONDA ACCORDS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WONDER IF THEY USE A CHEAPER QUALITY BRAKE PARTS THAN NISSAN. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. AS A RESULT THE AIR BAGS WERE INOPERATIVE AND WOULDN'T DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED. DEALER NOTIFIED. *NM

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX SEDAN WITH A LITTLE OVER 75,000 MILES ON IT. SATURDAY MAY 4TH OF THIS YEAR ON MY WAY FROM MESQUITE TO ARLINGTON MY CAR JUST FAILED TO MOVE. ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T PICK A GEAR TO MOVE ON, LUCKILY A GENTLEMAN BEHIND ME HELPED PUSH THE CAR OFF TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE 35 AND HAD TO REQUEST AAA COME TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP LUTE RILEY IN RICHARDSON. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED SAT BY THE TIME I GOT THERE SO MONDAY MORNING WHEN I WENT IN I HAD RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE SIXTH GENERATION ACCORDS. BUT I WAS INFORMED AT MIDDAY BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR SHAWN THAT I NEEDED TO PAY TO HAVE MY SOLENOIDS REPLACED SINCE THATS WHAT THE TECHNICIAN REPORTS AS THE PROBLEM SO ME BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT AND HEAVILY RELIANT ON MY TRANSPORTATION ESPECIALLY DURING FINALS WEEK PAID FOR IT. SURE ENOUGH COUPLE OF DAYS LATER SAME ISSUE WHERE THE CAR DIES AGAIN IN MY SCHOOL PARKING LOT AND I HAD IT TOWED ONCE AGAIN BY AAA OVER TO LUTE RILEY. THIS TIME WHEN I WENT IN ON THURSDAY MAY 6TH THEY SANG A DIFFERENT TUNE THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BY HONDA SO THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR FREE BUT WILL NEED TO KEEP IT FOR A WEEK WHILE THEY ORDER ONE. NOW MY ISSUE IS RETURNING THE $350 PLUS THAT I SPENT ON REPAIRING SOLENOIDS THAT WEREN'T IN NEED OF BEING REPLACED. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO HONDA'S CORPORATE HQ LIKE SO MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE ALREADY

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST STARTED, THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYED ON UNTIL THE PADS WARMED UP A LITTLE. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN TEN TIMES WITH THIS VEHICLE. *JB FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHEN IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DO TO A SENSOR THAT DIDN'T SIT RIGHT AND IT CAUSED THE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. *PH

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE START TO DEVELOPING A PROBLEM DURING THE LAST SEVRERAL MONTHS. WHEN IT IS STARTED FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING AFTER PARKED OVERNIGHT, THE THROTTLE OF THE CAR FEELS STUCKED. I HAVE TO PRESS THE THROTTLE REALLY HARD TO GET RID OF THE STUCK, BY DOING SO, THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELARATE ABSURDLY BECAUSE OF THE HARD PRESSING ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL(I.E., AT FIRST IT IS STUCKED, WHEN YOU PUSH THE THROTTLE PEDAL REALLY HARD, THE THROTTLE WILL GET LOOSE SUDDENLY AND THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ACCELERATE ABSURDLY)

WHEN CONSUMER TURNED VEHICLE ON THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. CONSUMER READ IN THE MANUAL THAT IF THE SRS LIGHT STAYED ON IT INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE. *AK *NM

WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. CONSUMER CONTACTED WITH DEALERSHIP. *AK

ON APRIL 9, 2004, I WAS BACKING MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD, 4 DOOR TO A PUMP AT A GAS STATION. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT SUCH A VELOCITY WHILE BACKING THAT I RAN INTO TWO OTHER CARS AND STOPPED ONLY WHEN I RAN INTO THE SERVICE STATION BUILDING'S WALL. EVEN THOUGH I APPLIED THE BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUED TO CAREEN OUT OF CONTROL DESPITE MY EFFORTS TO STOP IT. IT IS MOST FORTUNATE NO ONE WAS MAIMED OR KILLED. *AK

EGR VALVE WENT BAD ON THE CAR. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS HAPPENS TO MANY PEOPLE. ASKED DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS IT WAS A DEFECT. THEY SAID IT WASN'T. I HAD TO PAY SINCE IT WAS AFFECTING MY FUEL ECONOMY. IT WAS REPLACED BY A NEW, DIFFERENT TYPE OF VALVE. THAT MAKES ME THINK THE ORIGINAL PART WAS BAD.*AK

HAVING PROBLEMS OF STERING WHEEL ON HONDA ACCORD 2000 MODEL. CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS IN OCTOBER'03 WITH HONDA DEALER AND HAVE THE SIMILAR PROBLEM AGAIN.

REPLACEMENT OF LEFT AND RIGHT HUB AND BEARING ON THE REAR OF THE CAR. OF ALL THE CARS I OWNED AND THE CARS THAT FREINDS AND FAMILY HAVE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT ANYBOBY HAS HEARD OF REPLACING THESE PARTS. ALL OF MY CARS HAVE OVER 180,000 MILES ON THEM.

WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *AK

FRONT DISC ROTORS CONTINUE TO RE-WARP AND NEED TURNING, DESPITE CAREFUL DRIVING PRACTICES AND NO SUDDEN STOPS AND NO RIDING OF BRAKES. VIBRATION MAKES VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL DURING NORMAL STOPS. DEALER DENIES THERE IS ANY PROBLEM.

I CAN REMOVE THE KEY FROM MY 2000 ACCORD WHILE THE GEAR SHIFT IS STILL IN DRIVE. I DID THIS ONCE THINKING I HAD PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, AND AFTER EXITING THE CAR IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARD. DESPITE THE FACT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 98 AND 99 ACCORDS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, THE FOLKS AT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME I NEED TO TAKE MY CAR TO A HONDA DEALER AND PAY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. HOWEVER, THEY DIDN'T PROMISE ME THEY COULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME AFTER THE INSPECTION.*AK

REAR SEAT BELTS IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX ARE TOO SHORT FOR ADULTS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THEM ON WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE AUTOMATIC RETRACTION MECHANISM, WHICH MAKES THEM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. IT OFTEN TAKES 4-6 ATTEMPTS TO GET THEM ON COMFORTABLY, AND IF YOU LEAN FORWARD WITH THE BELT ON, YOU HAVE TO START OVER.*AK

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN HE REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN PARK FOR THIS TO OCCUR. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 99 HONDAS FOR THAT SAME PROBLEM, BUT YET NOT ON HIS VEHICLE. *NM CONSUMER STATED THAT THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT SET IN PARK. *LA

SINCE THE VEHICLE'S VIN WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WHICH EXPERIENCED THE DEFECT OF THE RECALL. *PH THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX THE IGNITION PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE STARTED THEN DIE OUT IMMEDIATELY. THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 10 TEN TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD START AGAIN THEN WOULD HAVE TO STEP ON THE GAS RIGHT AWAY OTHERWISE THE VEHICLE WOULD DIE AGAIN. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIR. SERVICE BULLETIN#00059617925 *SC

I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED CAR FROM DUBLIN HONDA WITH A LITTLE OVER 7K MILES, AROUND THE 12TH OF AUGUST 2001. MY CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS BETWEEN 1/4-1/8 TANK. I ALSO NOTICED A BLACK FLAP HANGING UNDER MY CAR AND A LOT OF DUCT TAPE WRAPPED AROUND THE FRONT AXEL AND CAUGHT ON THE TIRES. IT TOOK THREE TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY FINALLY REMOVED THE FUEL TANK AND FOUND DAMAGE FUEL TANK DAMAGE AND DAMAGE UNDER FUEL PUMP. THEY SAID BUT DID NOT PUT IN WRITING THAT THERE WAS A PATCH ON AN AREA OF THE DAMAGE. THEY ASKED ME WHAT I HAD HIT, WHICH I HADN'T HIT AS THERE WAS A PATCH REPAIR IN THE AREA. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING. THEREFORE HONDA SOLD ME A CAR THAT WAS DAMAGED AND DID NOT REPORT THIS TO ME. WHAT I REALLY WANT IS HONDA TO REPLACE MY CAR WITH A NEW ONE. I KNOW THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL A DAMAGED CAR WITHOUT THE PURCHASERS NOTIFIED OF ANY DEFECTS, ETC. AND I WAS NOT. MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING 75 MILES AND HOUR ON A VERY BUSY FREEWAY AND THEREFORE I COULD NOT GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND HAD TOO MANY NEAR MISSES FROM OTHER CARS TO WANT TO REMEMBER. I THOUGHT AT WHAT POINT THAT I WAS GOING TO DIE OUT THERE. I COULD SEE THE HEADLINES. "HOSPICE NURSE DIES ON FREEWAY AFTER VISITING PATIENT." *JB

CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT AS STATED IN RECALL, BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *PH THE VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH. *NM

ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 2003, I BROUGHT MY CAR IN WITH ABOUT 12000 MILES TO DEALER BECAUSE THE SRS LIGHT WAS GOING ON. DEALER COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. IT WHEN ON OR OFF UNTIL 95,000 MILES. AT 95,000 MILES THE LIGHT STOOD ON. AT 98,000 MILES, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION INSPECTED DUE TO A RECALL. I ASKED DEALER TO CHECKED MY AIR BAG PROBLEM. THEY DETECTED PROBLEM AS BEING A FAULTY AIR BAG MODULE. UNFORTUNATELY DEALER, DID NOT WANT TO REPAIR MODULE UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD EXPIRED. ALTHOUGH, I BROUGHT IN MY CAR AT 12,000 MILES LETTING THEM KNOW OF A PROBLEM. IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND OPTED NOT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HAD THE AIR BAG SYSTEM RE- SET. THE LIGHT WHEN OFF. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON A MONTH LATER. CURRENTLY, IAM RIDING THE CAR WITH NO AIR BAGS ON AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO HONOR MY WARRANTY WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AT 12,000 MILES AND INFORMED ME THAT IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT CAN I DO?*AK

WHEN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD, THE LIGHT DISPLAY ON MY AUDIO TUNER/CD WENT OUT. I THOUGHT SOMEONE JUST NEEDED TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY TO GET THE LIGHT BACK ON, BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT THE WHOLE UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DID REPLACE IT FREE, BUT NOT UNTIL I PUSHED THEM TO SEE THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS. TODAY, ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER THE UNIT WAS REPLACED, I STARTED MY CAR TO FIND THAT THE LIGHT WAS ON, BUT THE AUDIO UNIT WAS NOT PRODUCING ANY SOUND. I AM CALLING THE DEALER TODAY, BUT I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A RADIO ON A CAR AT ALL, NOW I AM GOING TO REPLACE IT TWICE ON A CAR THAT IS 4 YEARS OLD. SOME HOW I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE GRATIS.*AK

WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WENT OVER A FENCE. THE AXLE BROKE AND THE TWO FRONT TIRES BLEW OUT.

MY ACCORD DIES OUT ON WARM START UPS WHEN IT IS IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS. I ALSO CALLED HONDA USA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO NO MATTER HOW COLD IT WAS. I BROUGHT IT TO HONDA OF SF TWICE ALREADY, BUT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A FEW OF MY FRIENDS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ACCORDS. *CB

MY CAR HAS A PROBLEM STARTING IN COLD WEATHER IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN 9 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES THEY ARE CALLING IT A EXTENDED CRANK PROBLEM OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 2002 AND 2003 ACCORDS BUT THE COMPANY SAYS THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT

AROUND THIS TIME PERIOD MY TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION SINCE IT WAS GIVING ME PROBLEM . THE CAR WAS WITH DEALER FOR 5 BUSINESS DAYS. IT WORKED FOR A WHILE AND THEN IT HAD SOME PROBLEMS WHEN IN TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD AND SOME CODES WERE PROGRAMMED IN SEPT'02. IN DEC'02 MY CAR HAD A TOTAL BREAK DOWN AND IT NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR A REPAIR. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED

WHEEL BEARING FAILURES: REPLACE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING UNDER WARRANTY AROUND 33,000 MILES. REPLACED RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING AROUND 68,000. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MANUFACTURER PAID NOTHING. FOUND RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING STARTING TO GO BAD. HAD REPLACED AT NO COST IN JULY OF 2003. (ONLY HAD 9,000 MILES ON IT. HOWEVER, UPON INSPECTION DURING REPLACEMENT OF RIGHT FRONT, TECHNICIAN FOUND BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARING TO BE GOING BAD. THAT WILL BE A TOTAL OF FIVE WHEEL BEARING REPLACED BEFORE 100,000 MILES. NEVER HAD A WHEEL BEARING ISSUE ON ANY OTHER CAR!!!

THE THROTTLE CABLE STICKS IN COLD WEATHER, PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. ONE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN GEAR. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP WAS TO PUT THE GEARSHIFT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK. DEALER STATED SORRY, THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. *AK *MR

BROKEN WELD UNDER DRIVER SEAT PERMITTED THE SEAT TO "ROCK" BACKWARDS DURING ACCELERATION WITH POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL.*AK

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED CONSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE ABS LIGHT. THE SHORT WAS REPLACED. THE DEALERS REPLACED THE GAS TANK SENSOR BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. *NLM (EX MODEL) THE DEALER REPLACED SEVERAL SENSORS AND THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSOR AGAIN. THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OCCURRED AGAIN IN WHICH THE WARRANTY EXPIRED BUT THE DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE SENSORS AGAIN FREE OF CHARGE. *SCC *JB

WHILE DRIVING, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER. THE PROBLEM WITH AIR BAG LIGHT WAS STILL OCCURRING. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED BY DEALER THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AS LONG AS THE LIGHT DID NOT STAY ON. THE LIGHT CAME INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HOWEVER THE CONDITION HAD NOT REAPPEARED FOR 4 WEEKS. *TT *JB

DISC BRAKE ROTORS WARPED. DEALER TURNED THEM BUT THEY CONTINUE TO RE-WARP. DEALER DENIED PRESENCE OF PROBLEM AND BLAMED THE PROBLEM ON ECESSIVE DRIVING. *AK

THE RED SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS. DURING THIS TIME, THE CAR WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS AND CITED THAT PERHAPS ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT NEAR THE DRIVER SEAT WAS CAUSING INTERFERENCE OF SOME KIND. THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, AS I HAVE A 2000 (HONDA ACCORD CPE EX V6) AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD A CELL PHONE AND NOT HAD PROBLEMS TILL NOW. THE DEALERSHIP RESET THE LIGHT AND IT HAS NOT COME UP SINCE. BUT I HAVE READ THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER CARS. I FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN BE POTENTIALLY SERIOUS DURING AN ACCIDENT IF THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT TO DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT COULD MEAN ANYTHING FROM THE FRONT OR SIDE AIRBAGS. I DON'T THINK THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE THAT RISK.*AK
