2001 Honda Accord complaints

THE SRS LIGHT IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD REPEATEDLY COMES ON. I HAVE HAD THE OPDS UNIT REPLACED TWICE, AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.*AK

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS THAT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED WHEN UNDER 100000 MILES. TRANSMISSION FINALLY FAILED AT 108,500 MILES. DEALERSHIP & AMERICAN HONDA HAVE ONLY OFFERED 50% DISCOUNT ON A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTIRE COST. THEY WERE USING A COP OUT TO NOT HONOR THEIR PRODUCT. I AM ONLY A LITTLE OVER THEIR EXTENDED COVERAGE OFFER. ALSO, THEY STATED THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A GREAT SERVICE HISTORY I DID NOT HAVE IT DONE THROUGH THEM, INSTEAD I DID HAVE MY MAINTENANCE DONE WITH GOODYEAR SHOP WHICH WAS AN ESTABLISHED CAR CENTER. I BOUGHT THE HONDA BELIEVING I WOULD NOT HAVE TO ENCOUNTER THESE ISSUES. I CAN UNDERSTAND LITTLE PROBLEMS, BUT NOT ONE TO THIS EXTENT. I JUST THANK GOD THAT MY TWO MONTH OLD CHILD WAS NOT IN THE CAR W/ ME WHEN IT FINALLY BROKE DOWN. I HAD TO SPEND $200 ON TOWING FEES. ALL ATTEMPTS TO SPEAK WITH AMERICAN HONDA WAS DISAPPOINTING. I ALSO FOLLOWED UP WITH RESEARCH ON SERVICE HISTORY, AND HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT HONDA WAS JUST NOT THE NAME IT USE TO BE. *AK

I HEARD A LOUD POP WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN A DEALER WHO REPLACED A BROKEN DRIVER SIDE REAR STABILIZER LINK. IN FEBRUARY 2005 I HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT HONDA REPAIR SHOP. THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR STABILIZER LINK BROKE AGAIN. I HAD TO REPLACE IT. *AK

I AM WRITING TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND FOR INFORMATION REGARDING A PERSISTENT PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD SRS LIGHT. SPECIFICALLY THE DASHBOARD SRS LIGHT GOES ON FOR NO REASON. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT MY AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT OR THAT THE BAGS MAY DEPLOY FOR NO REASON. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FIND THAT MANY OTHER 2001 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, AND HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS ETC. BUT YET THERE IS STILL NO RECALL REGARDING THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM HOPING YOU CAN HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING: 1. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE? 2. HAS THE NHTSA CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM OF THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT ON 2001 HONDA ACCORDS? IF SO, WHAT FACTS WERE FOUND, WHAT DETERMINATION WAS MADE AND WHAT RESULT FOLLOWED? 4. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?? THIS IS TRULY A MYSTERY TO ME, AND I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THIS LIGHT ON!!! PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION OR IF I CAN BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THIS PROBLEM DESIGNATED FOR RECALL. IT IS VERY SCARY DRIVING WITH THIS LIGHT ON, AND IT IS THROUGH NO FAULT OF THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES! I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT LATER MODEL YEARS DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, SO HONDA HAS OBVIOUSLY CORRECTED A KNOWN PROBLEM.... THEY SHOULD HAVE TO CORRECT IT IN THE 2001 MODEL YEAR AS WELL! PLEASE HELP. *AK

2001 HONDA ACCORD IS EXPERIENCING PERSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH SRS LIGHT.*MR THE CONSUMER IS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. *NM

1) FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT LOCK IN PLACE. SEAT SLIDES ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT WHEN I BRAKE. MY PASSENGERS HAVE TO QUICKLY BRING THEIR ARMS FOWARD TO STOP THEMSELVES FROM HITTING THE DASHBOARD; ONE TIME MY PASSENGER HAND HIT HER EYE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO STOP THE SEAT FROM HITTING THE DASHBOARD. 2) SRS INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON WHEN I JUST PLACE A LIGHT PURSE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD V6 WITH ONLY 15,000 MILES. 3) THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO NHTS REGARDING THIS SRS LIGHT MALFUNCTION. WHEN WILL NHTS DO A RECALL? THE DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE ME TO LOOK INTO THE SEAT NOT LOCKING IN PLACE, AND THE SRS LIGHT.*AK

OWNER WAS DRIVING AT 25 MPH AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, AND ELECTRICAL PORTION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED LESS THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ALSO, CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. *AK *BF *NM

SRS INDICATOR LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS IS A HONDA ACCORD V6 WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. TO GET IT DIAGNOSED IT IS $100.00. *AK

PETITION REQUEST DP 04 006/ IGNITION PARK INTERLOCK: CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED.*AK *NM

AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE SRS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ,AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. CONSUMER ANTICIPATED THE AIR BAGS MAY DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY WHILE DRIVING OR NOT DEPLOY IN A VEHICLE CRASH.*AK

AROUND 55,000 MILES VEHICLE DEVELOPED AN ABNORMAL MUFFLED KNOCKING SOUND ON RIGHT FRONT CORNER AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30MPH. GOT PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER AS MILES WORE ON. HONDA DEALER BLAMED IT ON A RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING AND I HAD IT REPLACED. SOUND WAS STILL THERE. HAD AN INDEPENDENT SHOP LIFT THE CAR UP AND RUN IT TO DETERMINE MECHANICAL CLACKING SOUNDS CAME FROM AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. FINALLY CONVINCED HONDA DEALER IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS WARRANTIED. SCARY THAT THE DEALER REPRESENTING THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DIAGNOSE A SERIOUS DEFECT LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WITH ALL OTHER ACCORDS OF DIFFERENT YEARS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HONDA HAS SOME SERIOUS QUALITY ISSUES. *AK

HONDA ACCORD 2001, NOISE FROM A/C AND "MAINTENANCE" LIGHT WOULD ALSO FLICKER. *BF THE LIGHT BULB BEHIND THE DIGITAL CLOCK WAS REPLACED, THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD ILLUMINATE, WHEN THIS OCCURRED ALL THE GAUGES WOULD DROP TO ZERO FOR A FEW SECONDS. *JB

AT TIMES VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING. WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO START THE IGNITION IT WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES TO START WHETHER IN COLD OR WARM TEMPERATURES. THE CAUSE OF WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING WAS UNDETERMINED.*AK

THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN THE PASSENGER RIGHT TIRE WENT OVER A POT HOLE CAUSING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY CONSUMER. *NM

PURCHASED A CERTIFIED 2001 HONDA ACCORD V-6 SEDAN 3.0 IN JULY 2004 W/ 42,000 MILES AT 55,000 I NEEDED NEW REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS. THE BRAKE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. PER THE DEALER THE ROTORS WERE ALREADY TURNED SO, I GOT NEW ROTORS. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR FROM THE DEALER THE CAR IS STILL MAKING A SQUEAKING SOUNDS AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM OR BRAKES. TO THIS DATE THE CAR IS STILL SQUEAKING WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. ALSO NOTE THAT WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE BACK BRAKES WERE ALREADY WORN 10 PERCENT BUT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE STILL BRAND NEW??????? THIS IS A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE WHICH 70 PERCENT OF THE BRAKING IS APPLIED IN THE FRONT AND APPROX 30 PERCENT IS APPLIED IN THE REAR SO WHY DO I NEED BRAKES AND ROTORS IN THE REAR BEFORE THE FRONT. AND THE FRONT BRAKES ARE STILL AS BRAND NEW ..MAKES YOU WONDER IF THE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM IS WORKING OR NOT? *NM

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD VEHICLE RAN OVER A POT HOLE AND THE SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY. *AK

OWNER WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND THE ENTIRE DASH ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. AFTER A 15 MINUTE WAIT, THE OWNER STARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE TO THE DEALER.

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH DRIVER'S POWER ADJUSTED SEAT. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE SEAT MOVED FORWARD. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THEY WILL DO REPAIRS BUT ONLY AT CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. *AK

I OWN A 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX . THE SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO HAVE THEM TRY TO TURN IT OFF, BUT THEY CANNOT. I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUM THAT STATE HONDA IS CLUELESS ABOUT TRYING TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE AND HAVE CHARGED CUSTOMERS A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY TO TROUBLESHOOT, BUT NEVER FIX THE ISSUE. HONDA WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE A DEFECTIVE SYSTEM WHICH DISABLES THE AIRBAGS, CREATING A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION SHOULD I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *JB

THE CONSUMER HAD PROBLEMS CHANGING THE GEAR FROM PARK TO ANOTHER GEAR. TAKEN TO SHOP FOR CHECKUP. *JB *NM

THE DASHBOARD AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I JUST PLACE MY PURSE ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT, OR IF I PLACE A HEAVY BAG ON THE FLOOR AND IT LEANS AGAINST THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. BROWSING THROUGH YOUR SITE COMPLAINTS, I NOTICE THAT MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON. THE COMPLAINT STATES THAT THE DEALER WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING, THAT PERSON HAD AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG NEVER WENT OFF. HAS ANYTHING CHANGED SINCE THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED WHERE THE DEALER WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE TO ME?*AK

1. PURCHASED A NEW 2001 ACCORD AND THE AIR BAG LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND OFF. RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES W/O CORRECTIVE ACTION. FINALLY TOLD THAT THE TECNOLOGY IS SENSITIVE AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE.*AK 2. ON 11/27/04 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT.

AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! BOTH VEHICLES HAD TO BE TOWED, POLICE REPORT FILED AND MINOR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

2001 HONDA ACCORD LX 4DR, 4 CYL FRONT WHEEL DRIVE AUTOMATIC. THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR FAILS TO OPERATE LEFT/RIGHT TILT. IT WORKS ON OCCASION. THE ONLY WAY SOMETIMES TO ALTER THE MIRROR IS BY USING MY HANDS TO 'CLICK' IT INTO PLACE. *JB

WHILE TRAVELING EASTBOUND AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH A CAR TRAVELING WESTBOUND MADE A LEFT TURN CAUSING ME TO HIT THE CAR HEAD ON. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS EXTENSIVE, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DECLARED IT A TOTAL LOSS. SEAT BELT WORN. TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE FOR CHEST, NECK, KNEE, AND ARM PAIN. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A THREE CAR COLLISION. VEHICLE WAS HIT ON THE SIDE. HOWEVER, A CHILD WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE SEAT COMPLETELY TIPPED OVER, LANDING THE CHILD ON HER HEAD. CONSUMER STATED THE SEAT WAS PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED. *AK

SRS INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON 10/15/2004 WHEN I STARTED ENGINE IN THE MORNING AND THE LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER THAT. CAR IS MAINTAINED IN GOOD CONDITION ALWAYS, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND IT RAN FINE. TALKED TO DEALERS AND ALL SAID THEY NEED TO DIAGNOSE FOR A CHARGE OF 80-100$. I TOOK THE CAR TO CORAL SPRINGS HONDA ON 10/22/2004 AND THEY SAID SRS UNIT IS BAD AND THEY CHARGED 516.00 $ TO REPLACE IT. I HAD TO PAY AND REPLACE THE SRS UNIT (FP NO. 77960-S84-A75, DTC 07-2 SRS UNIT, 6490148). IT SEEMS THIS IS A GENERIC FAILURES AS SHOWN BY MANY COMPLAINTS HERE. HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM FIX AND CUSTOMERS SHOULDN'T BE BURDENED WITH THIS REPLACEMENT COST!*AK

NHTSA RECALL 04V256000 SUBJECT: INSTRUMENT PANEL DIMMER CONTROL. AFTER HAVING THE MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS REPLACED, THE DIMMER CONTROL FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THE CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME. *JB

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE BEGIN TO SKID AND DRIVER LOST CONTROL, WHICH RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING OVER THREE TIMES. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MULTIPLE BRUISES AND CONTUSIONS AND DAMAGE TO HER LEFT ARM. *JB

SRS LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON WHILE DRIVING.. *BF THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW OPDS UNIT SWITCH WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CONTROLS THE AIR BAGS. THE DEALER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO SEE IF THE PART WAS COVERED AND WAS TOLD THAT ONLY THE SRS UNIT AND CABLE REELS WERE COVERED. THE CONSUMER DID NOT HAVE THE REPAIRS MADE BECAUSE SHE BELIEVES THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. *NM

THE CAR WAS SOLD WITH ILLEGAL TIRES. THE CAR WAS SOLD IN A CONDITION THAT IS NOT ALLOWABLE BY LAW. THIS WAS DONE WITH FULL AUTHORIZATION AND APPROVAL BY MIKE HARVEY HONDA, AND SOLD AND DELIVERED TO THE CUSTOMER. THIS WAS AN ILLEGAL ACT. THE CUSTOMER WAS ALSO LIED TO BY STAFF REGARDING THE OTHER REMAINING "DUE BILL" ITEMS. THIS VEHICLE BY LAW SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD IN THE CONDITION IT WAS IN; AN ALLOWED TO BE DRIVEN ON THE ROADS OF CALIFORNIA ILLEGALLY.*AK

THE POWER WINDOWS EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE STOPPED WORKING FROM TODAY (OCT/13/2004). NOT SURE HOW MUCH EXPENSE INVOLVED IN FIXING THEM AS I DON'T HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE. ALSO, DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW TOO SLOW IN MOVEMENT. *AK

THE SRS LIGHT BEGAN TO COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, AND THEN STAYED ON. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE COMPUTER MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NO REASON GIVEN - JUST "THING HAPPEN". NO TRAUMA OR COLLISION LEADING UP TO THE LIGHT COMING ON, AND DEFINITELY NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. *NM

I TOOK MY HONDA ACCORD 2001 IN FOR SERVICE AND MENTIONED THAT THE SRS LIGHT BLINKS OFF AND ON. I WAS TOLD LATER THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG HAD "GONE BAD". THE MECHANIC SAID "IT HAPPENS". THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY KIND OF COLLISION. MECHANIC ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE HAS HAD SEVERAL COME IN THAT WAY. IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTEE, AND IS AN $800 PART. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THAT THE SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO FLASHES ON AND OFF AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SEATBELT WAS CAUSING IT. I DON'T THINK THE PART THAT A DRIVER DEPENDS ON TO SAVE THEM IN A CRASH SHOULD JUST "GO BAD." *AK

THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. DEALER STATED THAT CONSUMERS' CELL PHONE ON THE SEAT MADE THE LIGHT GO ON. DEALER SHOWED CONSUMER A PAPER, STATING THAT THE ELECTRONIC DEVICES CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH AIR BAGS. THE CONSUMER PAID $300.00 FOR THE REPAIRS.*AK

WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED, INDICATED TO THE CONSUMER THAT THEY ALREADY KNEW WHAT IT WAS , A CARBON BUILDUP IN THE GAS LINE THAT FROZE THE LINE. CONSUMER WAS CHARGED $120.00 TO FIX IT. *AK THE GAS PEDAL STICKS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD. *TC *JB

AFTER BEING INVOLVED IN A COLLISION PASSENGER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE AIR BAGS WERE ON THE SAME SENSOR, AND BOTH SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO SEND A REPRESENTATIVE.*AK

SRS WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON 3 TIMES WITHIN FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASE (JUL. 01) THE DEALERSHIP GAVE AN EXCUSE THAT CELL PHONE CHARGERS WILL SET IT OFF. WITHIN 2 YEARS IT TURNED ON ANOTHER 2 TIMES AND HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE. TALKED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID A CELL PHONE CHARGER SHOULD IN NO WAY CAUSE THAT LIGHT TO TURN ON. TURNED TO FIRST DEALERSHIP WITH THIS REPLY AND THEY SAID SINCE THE WARRANTY IS UP THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND STILL HAD NO OTHER REASON IT SHOULD BE ON. THE DATE LISTED IS THE DAY A SECOND DEALERSHIP WAS CONFRONTED AND FIRST DEALERSHIP CONFRONTED. WAS REFERRED BY EMPLOYEE AT A SEPERATE REPAIR SHOP.

WHILE DRIVING REAR STRUTS MADE A RATTLING NOISE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD JERKS HARD FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. ALSO VERY SLUGGISH ACCELERATING. THIS HAS STARTED HAPPENING AT 55,000 MILES. I CONTACTED BELL HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH, NOW ALREADY DOING SO I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE OF A 3 YEAR OLD BRAND NEW CAR. BELL HONDA DEALERSHOP WHICH I BOUGHT MY CAR IS TELLING ME I NEED TO PAY $100 FOR A TEST TO SEE IF IT FALLS UNDER THE 7/YR 100/K MILE WARRANTY. *AK

PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM INFORMATION ACT REGARDING RECALLS INVOLVING 2001 HONDA ACCORDS.*MR ATTORNEY REQUEST CERTIFIED COPIES OF ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS OR INFORMATION RELATIVE TO ANY RECALLS OF 2001 HONDA ACCORDS, WHICH HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY HONDA, THE UNITED STATES PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION OR THE UNITED STATES HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. THE ATTORNEY'S CLIENT WAS OPERATION A 2001 HONDA ACCORD WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNED INTO HER PATH AND STRUCK HER VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE CLIENT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER NECK, SHOULDER AND BACK. *NM

VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARDS WHEN THE CONSUMER REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. *MR THIS WAS ESPECIALLY A PROBLEM WHEN ON HILLS AND INCLINES. *SC *JB

SRS ILLUMINATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE VEHICLE IS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX. AFTER DEALER RESET, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON THE SRS IS RENDERED INOPERATIVE. THE DEALER WAS PREPARED WITH LITERATURE FOR REASONS THAT MIGHT CAUSE THE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. I THINK THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS SERIOUS AS FAULTY SEAT BELT AND/OR HARNESS FAILURES WHICH ARE COVERED BY THE DEALER ON AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BASIS. AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON OR ILLUMINATED IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MY PROBLEM OR SYSTEM FAILURE ISNT AN ISOLATED CASE. IT APPEARS THAT MANY DRIVES ARE ACCEPTING THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS IRRITATING AND TO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR WHILE THEIR SRS SYSTEM IS TOTALLY INOPERATIVE. WHAT MIGHT EVEN BE WORSE IS THAT THERE ARE QUICK FIXES ON THE INTERNET TO RESET THE LIGHT AND BY REPEATED RESETTING THE LIGHT MIGHT MASK OR IGNORE THE ROOT PROBLEM. THE DEALER CHARGE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS $80.00. THE DEALER AGREED TO RESET THE LIGHT AGAIN CONCURRENT WITH OTHER MAINTENANCE. AFTER A THIRD RESET BY THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT RESET AND THE CONTROL MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. APPROXIMATE TOTAL COST  $750.00. *JB

2001 HONDA ACCORD AIR BAG. *MR THE ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS COMPROMISED BY A TISSUE BOX. THE CONSUMER FELT THAT HONDA SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SECURE AND OR ENCASE THE WIRING FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. A TISSUE BOX WHICH WAS SHOVED UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT HAD CUT THE WIRING SYSTEM TO THE AIR BAGS. THE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS THE RESULT OF THE CONSUMER'S ACTIONS. *SC

WHILE DRIVING, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK TO THE FLOOR. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BY SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND COASTED TO THE SIDE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *NM *SC *JB

I BOUGHT A PRE OWNED CERTIFIED 2001 HONDA ACCORD WITH 60K MILES ON IT FOR A LITTLE OVER MARKET VALUE BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN HONDA PRODUCTS. AT APPROX. 70K MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER WITH A REMANUFACTURED TRANS. I WAS TOLD ONLY A LIMITED 12/12 WARRANTY WAS BEING ISSUED FOR THIS AND THAT IF TRANS FAILED OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY EXTENSION I WOULD BE OUT OF LUCK. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS 82K MILES AND IS SHOWING SIGNS OF TRANNY PROBLEMS AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ON OCCASIONS WILL DOWNSHIFT WITH A THUMP WHEN DECELERATING INTO 2ND AND 1ST GEAR AND THERE IS A WHIRLING SOUND WHICH IS ONLY AUDIABLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER THAT INSTALLED THE REMAN UNIT, HOWEVER THEY CONTINUE TO DISPUTE MY CLAIMS SAYING THAT THE NOISE IS BEING MADE BY A FAULTY WHEEL BEARING. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DOCUMENT MY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE IF THE DEALER WILL NOT ADDRESS IT. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK ON HOW THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED. THANKS ED

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATEED WHICH DISABLED THE AIR BAG SAFETY SYSTEM. *MR THE OPDS WAS REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITHOUT THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATING FOR A YEAR, THE SRS LIGHT HAD COME BACK ON AND DISABLED THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE SERVICE DEALER DETECTED A "HARD CODE," WHICH DETERMINED DEPLOYMENT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG, WHICH HAD NOT OCCURRED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE SERVICE DEALER "DIX HONDA," REPAIR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AND TO WARRANT CONTINUING WORKMANSHIP AND STABILITY OF THE SRS. *SC *JB

CRUSHED CHEST, BROKEN NECK, AND DEATH OF DRIVER RESULTED FROM REAR END IMPACT OF HONDA ACCORD WHILE SITTING STILL. PLEASE CALL BRENDA ROGERS AT AREA CODE 678 PHONE NUMBER 441-9817 IF YOU'VE EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF DRIVER'S POWER SEAT SLIDE, DRIVER'S SEAT BACK, DRIVER'S SEAT BOLTS, AND/OR FILURE OF DRIVER'S AIR BAG TO DEPLOY.

PULLING ONTO ROAD FROM A PARKING LOT, ACCELERATED TO MEET FLOW OF TRAFFIC. AFTER REACHING DESIRED SPEED (~45 MPH), REMOVED FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL. CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AFTER THIS. BRAKE WAS USED, BUT CAR STILL WAS REVVING, TRYING TO ACCELERATE. AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR ENOUGHT TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. CAR WOULD ONLY STOP ONCE IT WAS IN PARK. CAR WAS SHUT OFF, THEN TURNED ON AGAIN. ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING. TOOK TO DAVID MICHAEL HONDA DEALERSHIP IN FREEHOLD NJ. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE THE INCIDENT, AND HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG, AND CAN NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO REPEAT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR IN CASE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WITH MORE TRAFFIC AROUND. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HOW CAN I GET THIS REPAIRED / REPLACED?*AK
