2001 Honda Accord complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *LA

MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD 2 DOOR COUPE EX V-6 IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE NEWLY ANNOUNCED RECALL. THE CAR CAN BE TURNED OFF AND THE IGNITION KEY REMOVED WHILE THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN DRIVE. MY WIFE DID REMOVE TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVE THE KEY WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. SHE THEN LOCKED THE CAR AND WENT INTO THE HOUSE. A FEW MOMENTS LATER I ARRIVED HOME AND THE CAR HAD ROLLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND ACROSS THE STREET AND HAD COME TO REST WITH BOTH REAR TIRES UP AGAINST THE CURB. IT IS JUST LUCKY THERE WAS NO CAR PARKED WHERE THIS CAR CAME TO REST. IT IS JUST AS LUCKY THERE WERE NO CARS COMING BY WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AS WE LIVE ON A VERY BUSY STREET. *LA

FRONT BRAKES FAILED PREMATURELY SINCE OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE FEBRUARY, 2001. FRONT BRAKE REPLACED AS "GOOD WILL" BY HONDA AT 18618 MILES BECAUSE THEY DID NOT FEEL THIS WAS TO EARLY. THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA, AND I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN LESS THAN 35,000 MILES USAGE OF FRONT BRAKES. BRAKES FAILED AGAIN AT 40522 MILES, THIS TIME PAID FOR REPLACEMENT OF PADS AND ROTORS RESURFACED. NOW AT 53554 MILES BRAKE PADS GONE AGAIN.*AK

I WAS HIT BY A CAR RUNNING A RED LIGHT. THE LEFT FRONT AND REAR QUARTER PANELS HIT AND THE SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED HONDA TO FIND OUT WHERE SENSORS ARE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE IN THE AREAS I WAS HIT.*AK

OUR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEGAN ACTING UP BY "LURCHING" WHEN WE CAME TO A ROLLING STOP. WE HAD THE CAR CHECKED BY OUR TWO REGULAR MECHANICS AND THEY SUGGESTED WE TAKE IT BACK TO ELLENA HONDA HERE IN LAWRENCE WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HONDA CHECKED IT AND SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS TO BE DONE NEXT MONDAY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED SINCE I THOUGHT HONDA WAS A BRAND THAT COULD BE TRUSTED. *LA

MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN OCTOBER 2002. THE DEALERSHIP PUT IN A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. IN SEPTEMBER 2003 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. HONDA PUT IN TWO MORE TRANSMISSIONS AND THEY BOTH FAILED IMMEDIATELY! HONDA THEN PUT IN A NEW COMPUTER MODULE AND THAT FAILED IMMEDIATELY TOO. HONDA IS NOT BEING VERY CUSTOMER SERVICE ORIENTED AND WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. WE ARE PURSUING THE LEMON LAW IN ORDER TO GET HONDA TO BUY BACK THIS FAULTY VEHICLE. *LA

WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. *AK THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FROM 0 K.M. TO 80 K.M. WITHIN 15 FEET AND BECAME STUCK BETWEEN TWO HOUSES. THE LEFT TIRE BLEWOUT AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE. . ENGINE REVED HIGH WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE BASE IDLE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO HIGH. *TS *NLM

DEFECT IN THE IGNITION TO TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK ALLOWING KEY TO BE REMOVED WHILE IN DRIVE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL. THIS HAS BEEN THIS WAY AT LEAST FOR 15000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID HE COULD REPLACE THE SWITCH BUT I WOULD THEN HAVE A KEY FOR THE IGNITION AND A KEY FOR THE DOOR LOCKS. I TOLD THEM IF THEY COULD NOT KEY THE SWITCH THAT I WOULD NOT ACCEPT TWO DIFFERENT KEYS. IT NOW HAS 57000 MILES ON IT. *LA

ABLE TO PULL KEY OUT OF IGNITION WHEN NOT IN PARK. *JB

WHEN IM DRIVING MY SRS LIGHT COMES ON OCCASIONALLY, I HAVENT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS SO I DONT KNOW IF THEY WILL DEPLOY, IT SEEMS THAT A FAIR AMOUNT OF HONDAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND FOR WHAT IVE SEEN THEY CANT GET REPAIRED. I HAVE A 2001 EX V6

SRS LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. IT WAS RESET BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THEN IMMEDIATELY UPON PICKING THE CAR UP THE SRS LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THE SRS LIGHT IN THIS CAR IS USUALLY SET OFF BY CELL PHONE USE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I AM A ONE PERSON OWNER AND DO NOT HAVE PASSENGERS. WHEN SRS LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN IT WENT ON WHILE I WAS USING A CELL PHONE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. *JB

AIR BAGS ARE STITCHED UP ON THE SIDES.*MR *TS

2001 HONDA ACCORD V6 TRANSMISSION, REPLACED TWICE - WITH ONLY 59,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I WANT HONDA TO COMPENSATE ME WITH A NEW VEHICLE. THIS IS JUST ABSURD - THEY KEEP RE-INSTALLING DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS. TOTAL COST IS ROUGHLY AROUND $12,000 - THAT'S WHAT I OWE LEFT ON MY LOAN. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH VEHICLE WAS INVOVLED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED. *AK

NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF FREQUENTLY. CONTACT DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS OVERLY SENSTIVE. DURING A SIDE COLLISION IN THE REAR QUARTER PANEL, SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY SHIFTS VIOLENTLY (SO VIOLENT THAT I AT FIRST ASSUMED THAT THE IGNITION HAD BEEN TURNED OFF - I WAS DOING UP TO 65 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED). PROBLEM IS VERY INTERMITTENT - SO THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE. I CONSIDER IT A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I COULD EASILY BE REAR ENDED OR LOSE CONTROL ON SNOW OR ICE. HAS HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES SINCE AFTER DELIVERY - EVERY TIME ON A SLIGHT DOWN SLOPE. ADDITIONALLY THE CAR OFTEN 'SEARCHES' - UP AND DOWN SHIFTS ON DOWNGRADES BUT MOST OFTEN THESE ARE WHAT I WOULD CALL POOR QUALITY SHIFTING- WHICH I'M TOLD BY THE DEALER IS A KNOWN SHORT FALL.*AK

I BOUGHT THE 2001 HONDA ACCORD V6 IN JUNE, AFTER A YEAR I HAD INTERMITTENT ABS LIGHT ON AND OFF, I HAD THIS ABS LIGHT ON/OFF SINCE AUG 2002 (WHICH IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY PERIOD), HAD THE DEALER CHECKED AND THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY IN JUNE OF 2003, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER TO DIAGNOSTIC (WHICH I HAVE TO PAY $100 SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED), THEY CONSULTED WITH AMERICAN HONDA, AND HAD THE ABS MODULE REPLACED UNDER CUSTOMER ASSIST WARRANTY, THE SYMPTOM WAS GONE FOR A DAY BUT WITH SPONGE BRAKE AND HAVE TO BRING BACK TO DEALER TO RE-BLEED THE BRAKE AGAIN, WITH SPONGE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKES COMPLETELY BLED, AND ABS LIGHT WAS ON. TECHICIAN DIAGNOSTIC WITH NO DTC ON THE SCANNER BUT THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON, GUESS WHAT...THEY RESET IT AND LET ME DRIVE HOME AND TOLD ME DRIVE SAFELY. IN AUG 10TH 2003 (WHICH IS LESS THAN A MONTH) THE ABS LIGHT IS ON/OFF AGAIN, I CALLED UP THE DEALER THAT PERFORM THE REPAIRED AND THEY REQUEST I LET THEM HAD THE CAR A DAY TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON, AUG 19TH AND THEY RETURNED THE CAR TO ME UN REPAIR AND SAYING I HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE ON THE ABS BRAKE, THEY WANT ME TO PAY 2-3 HOURS OF LABOR TO TEAR APART MY CAR TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM, I CALLED UP AMERICAN HONDA AGAIN...NO HELP BECAUSE OF THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND THEY WILL SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS THEIR THEN THEY WILL COVER THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOTALLY UPSET ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THIS IS MY 1ST AND WILL BE MY LAST HONDA, I WILL GE

CAR FLIPPED OVER TREE TIMES, THE ONLY AIRBAG THAT WENT OFF WAS THE PASSANGERS SIDE AIRBAG. *AK

AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON 8/10/2003. DEALER STATED CELL PHONE CAUSED FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS TO DEACTIVATE. DEALER URGED THE CONSUMER NOT TO USE THE CELL PHONE IN THE VEHICLE. ALSO, MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH VEHICLE WAS IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AT A 60 MPH IMPACT. NONE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT. VEHICLE TOTALED.*AK

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. *AK *TS *JB

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AN DWITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. *AK

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY STAYS ON. THIS COULD RESULT IN PREMATURE OR NONE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS.*AK

PLASTIC "BUTTON" THAT KEEPS THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE AT SHOULDER LEVEL ( EASY REACH POSITION) BROKE OFF. THUS WHEN TRYING TO PUT ON SEAT BELT, FIRST HAVE TO PICK THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE OFF THE FLOOR. ALSO BROKE OFF A FRIENDS VEHICLE OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR.*AK

REAR BRAKE PADS REPLACED AND ROTORS RESURFACED TWO TIMES (IN NOVEMBER2002 AT 22,000 MILES AND THEN IN JUNE 2003 AT 38,000...CURRENT MILEAGE 39,000). I REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM BECAUSE OF A LOUD SQUEALING AND GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF VEHICLE AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED LIT. BRAKES HAVE NOT COMPLETELY FAILED.....YET. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. *NLM PH *JB

ENGINE FLUCTUATES CONSTANTLY BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000RPM'S WITHOUT TOUCHING GAS PEDAL. VERY DANGEROUS AS ENGINE CONSTANTLY RACES AND HARD TO CONTROL AND BRAKE. *AK

TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT UPSHIFT, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND D3 LIGHT START BLINKING. CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, WOULD JOLT INSTEAD OF SMOOTH SHIFT AND THEN WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE VERY VERY SLOWLY. ALSO WOULD BACKUP WHILE STOPPED AND GEAR IN DRIVE. *NLM

CONSUMER'S 5 YEAR OLD CHILD ATTEMPTED TO SECURE HIMSELF IN THE REAR CENTER SAFETY BELT. DURING THE ATTEMPT, THE BELT WAS ACCIDENTLY SECURED AROUND CHILD'S NECK AND THE RETRACTOR LOCKED INTO PLACE. CONSUMER STOPPED VEHICLE AND TURNED OFF IGNITION, BUT RETRACTOR WAS STUCK AND BELT HAD TO BE CUT BY SCISSORS IN ORDER TO REMOVE.*AK

SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY; OWNERS MANUAL STATES THIS CAN BE DUE TO PASSENGER IN PASSENGER SEAT. THEN SRS LIGHT CAME ON LAST WEEK AND STAYED ON. OWNERS MANUAL INSTRUCTS TO CONTACT DEALER IMMEDIATELY. I DID AND TOOK IT IN ON THE DAY CONTACTED. DEALER PAPERWORK STATES "SRS CLEARED SRS CODE 15-3, FOUND CELL PHONE ACCESSORIES IN PROXIMITY OF SEAT, CODE DID NOT RESET". VERBALLY INSTRUCTED NOT TO PUT CELL PHONE OR ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICE ON PASSENGER SEAT OR NEAR IT; AS THIS CAN INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. AS OF RIGHT NOW BOTH LIGHTS ARE OFF - WHETHER OR NOT MY AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY CORRECTLY IS A QUESTION MARK. *NLM

VEHICLE'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL EITHER JERK INTO OR OUT OF SECOND GEAR. CAUSE UNKNOWN.

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF CAUSING CONSUMER TO PULL OVER. DEALER NOTIFIED.

I HAVE JUST TRADED MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD LX MANUAL TRANSMISSION VIN#[XXX] BECAUSE OF A SEVERE IDLING PROBLEM. THE CAR HAD ONLY 12,000 MILES AND HAD ALL THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AS RECOMMENDED BY HONDA. IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE OWNED A HONDA FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE DRIVEN A STICK SHIFT FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS. I AM VERY WELL AWARE OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE PEDALS. ALSO, THE FLOOR MAT WAS ATTACHED TO ITS PIN NEAR THE FRONT OF THE SEAT SO IT DID NOT IMPEDE MY USE OF THE PEDALS. I HAD THE IDLE GO ABSOLUTELY NUTS, ALMOST RED LINE, AFTER HAVING PARKED THE CAR FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES OVER ABOUT 6 MONTHS. THE FIRST TWO TIMES, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. LUCKILY, NO ONE OR ANY PROPERTY WAS DAMAGED. I HAD BOTH CROWN HONDA OF CHAPEL HILL, NC AND FLOW HONDA OF WINSTON-SALEM, NC CHECK THE CAR OUT. IN FACT, FLOW HAD THE CAR 3 WEEKS AFTER THE 3RD INCIDENT. NEITHER DEALER SAID THEY FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ALTHOUGH I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING THE CAR. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS CAR WILL BE SOLD TO SOMEONE WHO WILL NOT BE TOLD OF THE PROBLEM I HAVE EXPERIENCED. I FEEL THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE MAY HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. HONDA SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW IF T

THE AIRBAG INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. AFTER A WHILE IT GOES OFF ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES IT WILL COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. I TOOK IT TO CRYSTAL LAKE HONDA, CRYSTAL LAKE, IL EVEN BEFORE THE ONE YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. TODAY I WAS GOING THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE 20 COMPLAINTS RELATED TO EITHER THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM OR THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAGS EITHER DID NOT DEPLOY DURING ACCIDENT OR DEPLOYED UN-NECESSARILY. I HOPE HONDA DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I BOUGHT A HONDA ACCORD OVER A COMPETING MODEL BECAUSE THIS ONE HAD SIDE AIRBAGS. NOW AFTER READING HOW THE AIRBAGS DO NOT DEPLOY I AM UPSET. LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A FIX TO THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT I CAN TELL THE DEALER. *JB

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE ABOUT 48 DEGREES. MY WIFE DROVE ABOUT A MILE FROM THE TRAIN STATION PARKED THE CAR TO PICK OUR CHILD FROM THE DAY CARE. THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN EVEN THOUGH SHE TRIED WITH ALL HER STRENGTH. SHE REQUESTED ANOTHER PARENT (MALE) TO HELP. HE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL WITH FORCE AND THE IGNITION TURNED. HE SAID HE WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE HER WHEELS WERE NOT TURNED. HE SAID THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS IF THE WHEELS ARE IN THE TURNED POSITION WHEN PARKING, BUT THEY WERE NOT. GOOD THING THE TEMPERATURE WAS NOT 40 BELOW ZERO AS THEY CAN BE HERE. IS THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM ? IS THERE A FIX ? *NLM

ON 4/4/03 A LOUD THUD CAME FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE D4 ON THE SHIFT INDICATOR STARTED TO BLINK. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED. THE SHIFT INDICATOR STOPPED BLINKING BUT THE CAR WOULD SHIFT VERY HARD. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND THEY WARRANTED THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE CAR ONLY HAD 65000 MILES THEY ALSO GAVE ME A RENTAL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED OR WILL I HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN AT 120000 MILES? *JB

REPEATED FAILURE OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAIN SYSTEM IN MY WARRANTIED 2001 HONDA ACCORD. FAILURE CONSISTS OF FAULTY SENSORS, THEREBY DEACTIVATING THE SYSTEM. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOUR TIME. EVERY TIME THIS WAS TAKEN TO A FACTORY AUTHORIZED DEALER, WITH NO SUCCESS (PROBLEM RECURS). *NLM

IN NOVEMBER 2002, I DISCOVERED A PROBLEM WITH MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. SUBSEQUENT TO THIS DATE I HAD THREE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS, ALL UNSUCCESSFUL. TWO OF MY TRANSMISSIONS DID NOT LAST LONGER THAN A WEEK BEFORE THEY WERE DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HONDA IS UNWILLING TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO REACH. THE SERVICE STAFF CONTINUALLY TRIES TO TELL ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS "IN MY HEAD", YET THEY CONTINUE TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION UNIT ON EACH VISIT. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR 2001/2002 MODEL PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AUTO LINE, THE BUREAU OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, OR THE NEW MOTOR VEHICLE BOARD, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT HONDA WILL BECOME RESPONSIVE TO THIS PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON ALL TRANSMISSION TO 100,000 MILES, THIS ONLY COVERS 100,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER NOT ON THE LIFE OF THE NEW TRANSMISSION. HOW CAN I MAKE HONDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY UNSAFE VEHICLE? THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIVE IN ANY WAY! *JB

THE 2001 ACCORD V6 HAS 18500 MILES. ONE MORNING I HAD A GREAT DIFFICULTY IN STARTING THE CAR, I CHECKED THE CAR BATTERY BUT IT WAS OKAY. FROM THAT TIME ON THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY START, BUT THE DIFFICULTY IN STARTING IS THERE. *NLM

MY FATHER IS AN OWNER OF A 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 SEDAN. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JULY 2001 AND HAS RECENTLY EXCEEDED ITS WARRANTY MILEAGE OF 36,000 MILES. TWO WEEKS AGO, AS MY FATHER WAS REPLACING THE REAR BREAK PADS, HE NOTICED THE LINKAGE CONNECTING THE REAR SWAY BAR TO THE LEFT REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN AT THE WELD POINTS. THIS BROKEN LINKAGE HAD CAUSED THE INSIDE BREAK PAD TO WEAR AT MUCH GREATER RATE THAN THE OUTSIDE PAD. MY UNCLE IS ALSO AN OWNER OF A 2001 HONDA ACCORD V6 SEDAN AND UPON HEARING OF THE BROKEN SWAY BAR IN MY FATHER??S CAR, HE INSPECTED THE REAR SWAY BAR IN HIS ACCORD AND FOUND THAT THE SAME LINKAGES WERE BROKEN ON BOTH SIDES. HIS BROKEN LINKAGES ALSO CAUSED THE SAME PATTERN OF UNEVEN BRAKE WEAR IN HIS CAR. *NLM

I AM AN OWNER OF A 2001 HONDA ACCORD LX AND WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT.
