2000 Honda Accord complaints

THIS PROBLEM (SRS LIGHTS) STARTED WITHIN 12 MILES FROM DRIVING OFF THE DEALER LOT. WAS TOLD IT'S NORMAL-"FORGET ABOUT IT". THERE HAVE BEEN ONLY FLEETING DAYS BETWEEN THE CHRISTMAS LIGHT SHOW THE DASH LIGHTS PUT ON. IT DOES NOT INSTILL CONFIDENCE. POOR SERVIC E GUYS CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE NOTHING WORKS. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT AIRBAGS . IF I WANTED A NON-AIRBAG EQUIPED CAR, I WOULD HAVE PAID LESS FOR ONE - AN OLD ONE MOST LIKELY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A HONDA PRODUCT!!!! I*AK

NEW HONDA ACCORD OF ONLY 10 MONTHS WITH 7000 MILES BURST INTO FLAMES AT 2:00AM CAUSING DAMAGE TO CAR. CAR SHOWED NO SIGNS OF ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO FIRE EXCEPT BURGLAR ALARM SOUNDED TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. CAR WAS DRIVEN HOME FROM WORK, PARKED AT 5:30PM UNDER GARAGE AND AT 2:00AM FLAMES WERE COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT UNDER HOOD.*AK

A FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD WHILE IT WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY EXAMINED VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE FIRE STARTED AT A SENSOR IN THE WIRING HARNESS NEAR HORN. THE BUMPER/ GRILL/ RUBBER/ RADIATOR, AND HOOD EXPERIENCED DAMAGE. DEALERSHIP HAS YET TO EXAMINE VEHICLE,AND HAS BEEN IN POSSESSION OF VEHICLE SINCE JUNE 8TH, 2001. *AK HONDA HAS DENIED RESPONSIBLITY. *SLC

WOULD BE WAITING AT LIGHT. WHEN ENGINE WOULD START TO REV UP WHILE FOOT WAS ON BRAKES, IT WOULD THEN TAKE OFF. NEEDED TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO PREVENT VEHICLE FROM MOVING. BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES, BUT MECHANIC COULD NOT LOCATE CAUSE OF PROBLEM.*AK

WHENEVER BRAKES ARE QUICKLY APPLIED IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG BEFORE ENGAGING AND STOPPING VEHICLE. *AK

THE WIRES THAT CONNECT TO THE FUEL INJECTORS APPEAR TO HAVE THEIR INSULATION MELTED AWAY REVEALING THE COPPER WIRE. MULTIPLE INJECTOR WIRES ARE INVOLVED. THE INSULATION IS MISSING A THIRD OF THE CIRCUMFERANCE AND ABOUT 17MM IN LENGTH. I SUSPECT EXCESS ENGINE HEAT HAS CAUSED THIS DEFECT. THE DEFECT WAS ONLY SPOTTED WHEN THE PLASTIC ENGINE COVER WAS REMOVED DURING IN INSTALLATION OF A AFTERMARKET CRUISE CONTROL DEVICE.

CONSUMER WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE ABOUT 40-45MPH AND HIT A PATCH OF GRAVEL. CONSUMER HYDROPLANED INTO A DITCH, AND DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. CONSUMER HAD SEVERE NECK/SHOULDER INJURIES.

DEALER FELT IT WAS UP TO INSURANCE TO SAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY. *AK THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DID EXPERIENCE DEPLOYMENT, INSURANCE COMPANY HAS DECIDED OTHER AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, CONSUMER STATES USAA INSURANCE COMPANY, SKIP HOLLIDAY, HAS INFORMATION REGARDING REPORTS. *SLC

SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES AT VARIOUS TIMES, SOMETIMES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. DEALER HAS STATED SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING NORMALLY EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT ILLUMINATING IS SHOWING A FAULT SOMEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM. *AK

WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT AND SHIFTING IN HIGH GEARS VEHICLE RETURNS BACK TO A LOWER GEAR. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT IS INTERMITTENTLY ON. SO SOMETIMES I PANICK BECAUSE I'M AFRIAD IT WILL RELEASE WHILE IAM DRIVING AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT.*AK

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE ON THE DAMAGES FROM THE APPRAISER/INSURANCE COMPANY. VEHICLE WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE ON THE HEADLIGHT AT AN ANGLE. THIS THREW THE VEHICLE INTO A DITCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE I-BEAM FROM THE FRAME CAN BE SEEN THRU THE BUMPER TO ILLUSTRATE THE IMPACT ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THE POLICE AND THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR IMMEDIATELY POINTED OUT THAT THEY FELT THE DRIVER AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 5/7/01, BUT HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM THEM SINCE. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE CAR INSPECTED BY A PROFESSIONAL BEFORE ANYONE STARTS TAMPERING WITH THE VEHICLE.*AK

THE SERVICING DEALERSHIP (GILLMAN HONDA - HOUSTON) SAID THE FAULT IS DUE TO A MISDESIGN BY HONDA. THIS PROBLEM MAY PREVENT THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING (IF THE SRS FAULT LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AGAIN). A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.*AK

EXPERIENCING A THUMP AS THE INGITION IS RELEASED FROM THE START POSITION OR AS THE ENGINE STARTS.THIS NOISE OCCURS ONLY ON A COLD START,USUALLY OVERNIGHT. DEALER MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE NOISE APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT. HONDA HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN PERTAINING TO THIS NOISE,BUT THE DEALER MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HNNDA'S SERVICE ENGINEERS TELLS HIM THAT THE SERVICE BULLETIN PERTAINS TO THE HONDA 4CYL ONLY, AND NOT THE 6CYL IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR THE 2000 HONDA 4CYL. SHOULD ALSO COVER THE 2000 HONDA 6CYL. IN CLOSING I MIGHT ADD THAT THIS SAME TYPE NOISE HAS ALSO BEEN HEARD IN THE HONDA 2001 6CYL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

SAME SYMPTOMS AS IN COMPLAINT #865280 IN YOUR DATABASE. CAR WANDERS, EXCESSIVE REACTION TO ROAD CROWN, NO CENTRAL POINT FOR STEERING STRAIGHT. DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG. *AK

STEERING SEEMS TO BE OVERLY TIGHT AND HARD TO TURN FOR POWER STEERING. NO PLAY AT ALL IN STEERING.*AK

THIS IS HONDA ACCORD V6, I HAVE NOTICED A CLUNK WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE AREN'T ANY COMPLAINTS OR ISSUANCES ON THE BULLETIN BOARDS OF THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THERE ARE. I BELIEVE IT IS REFERRED TO AS THE 'REVERSE CLUNK' PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISENT EVERY TIME I OPERATE MY CAR IN REVERSE, BUT IT HAPPENS ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME. THE CAR IS OPERATED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT I WANT FIXED. WHEN YOU PAY FOR QUALITY THAT IS WHAT I EXPECT TO GET. I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTING THE HONDA CORPORATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.*AK
