2001 Honda Accord complaints

VEHICLES BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING ACCIDENT WHERE INJURIES TOOK PLACE. DRIVER APPLIED BRAKE BUT PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO STOP. INSTEAD OF STOPPING THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FROM 20MPH TO 65MPH ON ITS OWN AND THERE WAS NO WAY OF STOPPING IT. EMERGENCY BREAK WAS THEN TRIED, WHEN THIS DID NOT WORK, CAR WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL IN HOPES THAT THIS WILL SLOW DOWN CARS UNWARRANTED ACCELERATION. IT WAS WHEN VEHICLE HIT A POLE CAUSING TIRE TO MANGLE WHICH CAUSED VEHICLE TO STOP, HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THIS COLLISION WITH THE POLE THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED EVEN WITH ALL THE OTHER ATTEMPTS. ALL STAR HONDA 414-269-1399 IN MILWAUKEE, WI WAS CALLED TO INQUIRE ABOUT WHAT MIGHT CAUSE BREAK MALFUNCTION AND ACCELERATION, MECHANIC BY THE NAME OF BELAL INDICATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAK LINES OF THIS PARTICULAR YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. HE MENTIONED THAT IF BREAK LINE HAS PRESSURE IN IT IT MIGHT CAUSE THE LINE TO BURST THEREFORE CAUSING THE BREAKS NOT TO WORK. HE COULD NOT GIVE AN EXPLANATION FOR THE ACCELERATION, ALTHOUGH OTHER MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME IT CAN BE A NUMBER OF FACTORS FROM THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR TO SOMETHING ELECTRICAL OR MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR ETC. POLICE ACCIDENT REPORT J9L0XBLHKF

I HAVE 117000 MILE ON HONDA ACCORD 2001 (V4) AND CAR IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE AT SIGNAL OR STOP SIGN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE RECOMMENDING TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION FOR $4600 BECAUSE IT'S FAULTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE SRS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROSENTHAL FAIRFAX HONDA (11020 FAIRFAX BLVD, FAIRFAX, VA 22030) AND THE INDICATOR WAS RESET; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL PAGE HONDA (6715 ARLINGTON BLVD, FALLS CHURCH, VA 22042) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OPDS SENSOR AND OPDS UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER SENT A RECALL NOTICE, THE DEALER SCHEDULED A REPAIR AND STATED THEY COMPLETED THE RECALL BUT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE DEALER PROVIDED THE REPAIR AND IF THE REMEDY FROM THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE THEIR SOLUTION TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE SUB FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS EXTREMELY RUSTED OUT ON THE TOP SIDE OF THE FRAME MAKING IT HARDER TO NOTICE. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS FINE, BUT UNDER THE AC DRAIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH MAKING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE. FORTUNATELY, I NOTICED IT WHILE REPLACING THE STABILIZER LINK BUT THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR HONDA.

MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE FRAME IS ROTTED OUT UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WELL MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS FINE. THE AIR CONDITIONING HOSE DRIPS AT THE SPOT THAT IS RUSTED OUT. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED.

TAKATA/HONDA RECALL BOTH OF MY AIRBAGS EXPLODED DEPLOYING POISON GAS THAT MADE ME DIZZY AND CONFUSED AND HARD TIME BREATHING ALSO I RECEIVED A LACERATION/BURN FROM FRAGMENTS IN AIRBAG ON MY ARM IN A MINOR COLLISSION AT LOW RATES OF SPEED WIICH CAUSED VERY LITTLE DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS IN A RAINY INTERSECTION AMBULANCE AND POLICE WERE ON SCENE

TAKATA RECALL? MY RED SRS LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER IN MARTINSVILLE, VA AND I THINK A DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. WHY IS MY SRS RED LIGHT ON JUST AFTER THIS?

UPON A STANDARD OIL CHANGE AT 160,000 MILES, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT SUB FRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. I WAS TOLD TO TALK TO A BODY SHOP IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE CAR WASN'T "ROAD SAFE". LOOKED INTO THIS A BIT AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ACCORDS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAINPIPE (WHICH EMPTIES RIGHT ONTO THE SUBFRAME) . THE CAR FOR THE MOST PART IS RELIABLE, MINUS THE TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED AT 130,000 MILES. BUT A FRAME SHOULDN'T BE "RUSTED THROUGH" AFTER 15 YEARS! SOUNDS UNSAFE, CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF THESE CARS THAT ARE STILL ON THE ROAD. CALLED HONDA TODAY AND WAS INFORMED THE REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $1200 WITH NO GOODWILL ON THEIR END. FIGURED THIS WAS THE BEST ALTERNATIVE TO THE SITUATION.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAD THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL ON MY HONDA ACCORD. I CALLED THE NUMBER THAT WAS PROVIDED IN THE LETTERS HONDA SENT TO MY HOUSE. WE HAD THE TAKATA AIR BAG ISSUE FIXED ON NOVEMBER 7TH AT THE HONDA LOCATION IN NEW ROCHELLE. AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THEM, THE SRS LIGHT TURNED ON WHICH IS RELATED TO AIR BAG. I CALLED THE NUMBER BACK AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. I HAVE TO TAKE IT ON MY OWN AND GET IT FIXED BUT HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? I CALLED A FEW HONDA LOCATIONS AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CHARGE ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC! HONDA PUTS IN DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS AND THEN THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIX IT AND AFTER THAT I GET A LIGHT FOR AIR BAGS AND I'M TOLD I HAVE TO FIX IT ON MY OWN? EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND THEIR SERVICE. THIS IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING.

HELLO THE VEHICLE STOPS AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY OF CRASHING THIS VEHICLE IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE AND IT'S VERY SCARY WHILE DRIVING. I SAW A SIMILAR RECALL FOR 2010 HONDAS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITH METAL FRAGMENTS DISCHARGING FROM THE INFLATOR. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED AN EYE INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION AND RESULTED IN THE CONTACT LOSING THE EYE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND TAKATA; HOWEVER, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,969.

TAKATA RECALL. THE TAKATA RECALL WAS FIXED IN DEC 2015. THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON CONSTANTLY IN JULY/AUG 2016. CALLED HONDA AND THEY STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTY SERVICE ON THIS ITEM - NOT RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT - THERE APPEAR TO BE MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE SAME ISSUE (SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATES FOLLOWING TAKATA RECALL REPAIR) IN THE NTSB COMPLAINT DATABASE AND OTHER COMPLAINTS FOUND THROUGH INTERNET SEARCHES. HONDA SHOULD EXTEND THIS WARRANTY WHEN RELATED TO AIRBAG ISSUES SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE - THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK WHEN SRS SYSTEM FAILS. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS RELATED TO AIRBAGS.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD GOING INTO SECOND GEAR. KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH 2001 HONDA V6 TRANSMISSIONS. AMERICAN HONDA ("AH") HAS ADMITTED MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED, BUT THEY DID NOT SEND ME THE NOTICE AND NOW THE WARRANTY HAS PASSED. MANY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH TRANSMISSIONS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED AT $4500. MY CAR IS UNDER 143,000 MILES. DRIVING MY CAR WITH THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND AH DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE DESPITE MY VARIOUS CALLS TO THEM AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGING IT WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION.

ON MY VEHICLES, THE INTERLOCK OPERATION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND REMOVE THE KEY WITHOUT SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION TO PARK. MY SEDANS REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLES WERE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED MAKIN IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO ATTACH A CARSEATAND LOCK IT SAFE

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SRS WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL COST TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL? - SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD HAS BEEN GOING ON/OFF WHILE DRIVING. I DON'T SEE A SPECIFIC RECALL FOR THIS AIRBAG; HAS ONE BEEN LISTED? VEHICLE HAS NOT BE IN AN ACCIDENT; LOW MILEAGE (36,000) AS IT WAS DRIVEN BY AN ELDERLY RELATIVE IN FLORIDA BEFORE I PURCHASED ONE YEAR AGO. USED MOSTLY FOR LOCAL TRIPS; MINIMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 15V-320 AFTER REPLACING THE DRIVERS AIRBAG LOP 7521H8 BY JOYCE KOONS HONDA BUICK GMC; INVOICE # 1022132, WITH 110569 MILEAGE, THE SRS INDICATION IS ON WITH 122000 MILEAGE NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, WHICH CAUSED THE PASSENGER TO SUSTAIN A LARGE CUT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FOREHEAD AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE HEAD. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RESTRAIN THE PASSENGER. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. IN ADDITION, THE DASHBOARD SPLIT IN HALF. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA AIRBAGS-- SPRING DEALER ADVISED TO CALL HONDA DIRECTLY AT 888-234-2138 TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED. I PHONED 8/26 GIVEN CASE #04977053--THEY SAID SOMEONE WOULD CALL BACK MONDAY. I CALLED TUESDAY 8/30 3X--SPOKE WITH ELEVLYN, GARY, COROLINE," SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BACK" I CALLED AGAIN TODAY THURSDAY 9/1 SPOKE WITH CHRIS "SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BACK". EVERY TIME I CALL THEY PUT ME ON HOLD FOR 15-20 MINUTES, ONLY TO COME BACK AND SAY THE PERSON WHO CAN AUTHORIZE THE CAR PICK UP WILL CALL ME BACK. I LIVE IN NY, THE CAR IS IN HOUSTON. I WILL ONLY BE IN HOUSTON NEXT WEEK 9/5 TO 9/10. THE KNOW THIS AND THEY DON'T CARE. THE NOTICE I GO SAYS "URGENT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE" AIRBAGS HAVE RUPTURED AND KILLED AND INJURED DRIVERS---WHY DO THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE SUCH VEHICLE TO DEALER? DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET INJURED OR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED TAKING THE CAR TO BE FIXED FOR HONDA TO TAKE ACTION? PLEASE HELP ME!!! AS IT IS WE'LL HAVE A RENTAL DURING OUR TRIP- I WAS NO EVEN ASKING HONDA FOR HELP PAYING THE RENTAL, SINCE I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER [THE CAR THAT CAN KILL ME] FOR THEM TO GIVE ME A RENTAL.

I CANNOT MAKE IT ACROSS BUSY STREETS SAFELY DUE TO MY VEHICLES TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER. IT TAKES TOO LONG TO ENGAGE FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BACK IN 2004. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM SOMEONE IN 2014 NOT KNOWING ABOUT IT. ISSUES INCLUDE: TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR WON'T ENGAGE. CAR STUTTERS OR JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BACK LIGHTING DIMMED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE GAUGES. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V256000 (INTERIOR LIGHTING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND IS DUE FOR IMMEDIATE FAILURE. UPON RESEARCHING THE SUBFRAME FOR THE 6TH GENERATION HONDA ACCORD, MULTIPLE ARTICLES, BLOGS, AND EVEN A NEWS VIDEO REPORT BY WEWS NEWS CHANNEL 5, POINT TO A/C DRAIN HOSE AS THE ISSUE CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUBFRAME IS SIGNIFICANTLY IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION VS THE PASSENGER SIDE.

"TAKATA RECALL" SHORTLY AFTER THE RECALL THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON DASH AND HAS STAYED ON. POSSIBLY RELATED TO AIR BAG, SEAT SENSOR OR SEAT BUCKLES. HONDA REFUSED WARRANTY SERVICE, "NOT A COVERED ITEM" SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT OF THE SRS UNIT AT $800.00 FOR THE PARTS. WE MAINTAIN IT'S ALL PART OF THE SAME SAFETY SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED. AFTER READING ON THE WEB IT VARIES FROM DEALER TO DEALER WEATHER THEY WILL COVER IT OR NOT. WE JUST WANT WHATS FAIR. PLEASE ADVISE. ORIGINAL OWNER. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS AT DEALER FOR REGULAR CHECK UP AND THEY MENTIONED MY CAR SUBFRAME REAR BEAM PASSENGER SIDE IS RUSTED AND ITS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY QUOTED ME $2500 AND OTHER MECHANICS $1600. I WAS KEEP ON CHECKING THE RUST REGULARLY FOR MY SAFETY AND NOTICED THE AC WATER IS DROPPING FROM THE SUBFRAME AND THAT PART IS ALWAYS WET. AFTER RESEARCH IN ONLINE, I CAME TO KNOW THIS IS A HONDA 98-02 CAR DESIGN ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE AC DRAIN PIPE NOW MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I CANT SPEND $2500. THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TO AVOID ANY CRASH. REQUEST YOU TO TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE MANY CRASHES IN UPCOMING YEARS AND NOW THIS DEFECT IS FOR 15 YEARS AND PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE NOT NOTICED UNTIL NOW. IN UPCOMING YEARS THEY WILL SEE THIS OR RUN INTO AN ACCIDENT.

I HAD MY CAR TAKEN IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON. I ALSO HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY FIXED MY RECALL COMPLETELY AND BELIEVE MY VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL OTHER RECALLED ISSUES AT HAND. INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE HEADLIGHT S DO NOT GIVE PROPER LIGHTING AND VISIBILITY IS HORRIBLE AT NIGHT. THE SEATBELT ON MY DRIVER SIDE LOCKS ALL THE TIME WHEN I TRY TO LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER. THE TCS LIGHT SPORADICALLY COMES ON WHEN THE ROAD CONDITIONS CHANGE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BUT I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCES TO GET DEALERSHIP AUTOSHOP WORK PERFORMED. SO IF I DO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THESE DEFECTS BEING FAULTY TO BEGIN WITH DON'T SAY I DIDN'T TRY AND GET HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH GOING AROUND A TURN, HEARD A LOUD BANG FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED AND FOUND THE SUBFRAME HAD SNAPPED. JUST HAD OIL CHANGED AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP LESS THAN 1 MONTHS AGO. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE THE SUBFRAME RUSTED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN 90% DEALER MAINTAINED IT'S WHOLE LIFE. I LIVE IN OHIO AND DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN AN ACCORD RUST IN THAT AREA. HONDA NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND FIX ISSUE. MY CAR IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ALMOST NOT WORTH THE REPAIR COST. $2500+ AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM NOT THE FIRST TO REPORT THIS THIS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

WHILE PARKING VEHICLE RAPIDLY ACCELERATED JUMPING TWO CURBS, DAMAGING THREE OTHER VEHICLES, A SMALL PICKUP TRUCK, AND A CHAIN LINK FENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND VEERING RIGHT, THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE TWO INJURIES, BUT MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 318,000.

HARD SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE 2001 HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSIONS. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE HOW GREAT HONDA VEHICLES ARE AND IT SEEMS THAT HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY SISTER INLAW WAS LOOKING AT A NEW 2016 HONDA. I SHOWED HER ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT HONDA HAD AND SHE DECIDED TO BUY SOMETHING ELSE. SHAME ON HONDA FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF THERE CUSTOMERS. YOU NEED TO RECALL THIS TRANSMISSION AND DO THE RIGHT THING. WE CALL THIS ( STANDING BEHIND OUR PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMERS ). HOPE YOU DO THE RIGHT THING...

THE AXEL THAT HOLDS MY TIRES ON DO NOT HOLD THE BOLTS THAT ARE PUT ON. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EVERY SINGLE BOLT ON ALL FOUR TIRES ONCE A MONTH, IF NOT MORE. THE BOLTS COME LOSE AFTER REPLACING THEM AND TIGHTENING THEM. THE BOLTS KEEP CROSS THREADING AFTER FIXING THEM AND PUTTING THEM ON CORRECTLY. MY DRIVER SEAT BELT COMES UNDONE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WHERE THE CLOCK IS AND BELOW COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS, EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM MY TIRES, PULL OVER AND A BOLT OR TWO HAS COME OFF. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR NOT ONLY ME BUT MY FAMILY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COMPLETELY OUT. VERY OBVIOUSLY THE SAME ISSUE REFERENCED IN NHTSA RECALL #04V256000 FOR THE LX VERSION OF THE ACCORD. YOU CAN FEEL THE HEAT COMING OFF THE PANEL (BEFORE IT WAS PERMANENTLY BROKEN.) PAID HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP, ONLY TO FIND THAT NEW BULBS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL DIDN'T WORK. READING OVER THE NHTSA IS LIKE DEJA VU, THIS IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I'M FACING BUT FOR SOME REASON THE EX VERSION OF THE HONDA ACCORD IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WELL ASK THE DEALER IF I CAN PAY TO HAVE THE SAME WORK AS THE 'SHOULD BE FREE' RECALL IS FOR THE NEARLY IDENTICAL VERSION OF THE CAR. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, MAKES THE CAR VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THE NEED FOR A REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FRAME WAS CORRODED. WHILE DRIVING, A NOISE EMITTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHOM PERFORMED AND INSPECTION THAT LOCATED A DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONING TUBE THAT CAUSED FLUID TO LEAK ONTO THE ENGINE FRAME. THE ENGINE FRAME WAS SEVERELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND A SMALL FLAME SPARKED FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE FLAMES WERE NOT PERMANENT. THE CONTACT SUFFERED FIRST AND SECOND DEGREE BURNS TO BOTH ARMS AND HANDS THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A SALVAGE FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000. UPDATED 07/12/16*LJ

TAKATA RECALL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT TO MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD WERE EFFECTED ON 2/22/16. ON 5/3/16 I WAS BRAKING FOR A RED LIGHT WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND FOLLOWED BY A STINGING PAIN IN MY LEFT ARM. WHEN I TURNED TO LOOK AT MY ARM I NOTICED THE AIRBAG FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR SEAT HAD DEPLOYED AND WAS NOW HANGING DEFLATED NEXT TO ME. THE AIR BAG LEFT A RED WELT, IT DIDN'T BRUISE ME AND THE REDNESS ONLY LASTED A COUPLE OF DAYS. I CALLED MY FATHER AND HE ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE HAD IT TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC WHO ADVISED US TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. A SERVICE MANAGER AT LONG BEACH HONDA LOOKED AT THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG AND SAID THE CAR HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WE ASKED HIM TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE DISCOVERED NO DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE CAR HE GOT DOWN ON ALL FOURS, LOOKED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF CAR, STOOD UP, AND SAID THERE WERE SMUDGES ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. WHEN I INFORMED HIM I DIDN'T RUN OVER ANYTHING, HE SAID THE BEST HE COULD DO WAS REPAIR THE AIR BAG AND RESET THE SENSORS FOR ABOUT $1,000. WE LEFT AND CONTACTED HONDA AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. A REPRESENTATIVE AT HONDA SAID HE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND AUTHORIZE AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. WE DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF ON 5/16/16 AT 8:30AM AND THEY CONTACTED US AROUND 5:00PM THAT SAME DAY AND SAID THAT THEY HAD COMPLETED THE INSPECTION. THE TECHNICAN SAID HE DISCOVERED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN PUSHED INTO THE TIRE WELL AT SOME POINT AND BECAUS

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA HAS MISTAKENLY LABELED OUR VEHICLE'S AIRBAG RECALL AS COMPLETED DESPITE OUR CONCERN THAT THEY HAVE INCORRECT INFORMATION. WE HAVE LIVED IN AUSTIN, TX SINCE JUNE 20TH, 2015. YET, THE RECALL SERVICE WAS SUPPOSEDLY TAKEN PLACE ON AUGUST 20TH, 2015 IN LEWISVILLE, TX . THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. LEWISVILLE IS OVER 200 MILES AWAY FROM AUSTIN AND IT WAS RECORDED AS BEING BROUGHT IN BY A WOMAN WHOM I HAVE NEVER MET OR EVEN HEARD OF. AFTER REPEATED PHONE CALLS TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS AND A "CLAIMS CASE" THAT PRODUCED NO RESULTS WHATSOEVER THE RESULT FROM HONDA'S INVESTIGATION IS "WE HAVE IT MARKED AS COMPLETED, SORRY. YOU CAN PAY FOR AN INSPECTION IF YOU WANT." I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND THE FACT THAT HONDA WILL NOT INSPECT MY VEHICLE'S SAFETY IS AN OUTRAGE.

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO GET REAR STRUTS REPLACED AND STATE INSPECTION. WAS TOLD CAR WOULD FAIL BECAUSE REAR CROSSOVER SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED BEYOND REPAIR ALONG WITH REAR BUMPER FRAME. IVE BEEN HEARING THUMPING COMING FROM REAR RIGHT OF VEHICLE THTS WHY I THOUGHT IT WAS A STRUT. IM GETTING IT REPAIRED BUT IT SEAMS LIKE AN AWEFUL LOT OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS, SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM TO ME. THE REST OF MY CAR IS RUST FREE.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2001 HONDA ACCORD, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 78800. I PAID $4000 TO HONDA DEALER TO INSTALL A REMANUFACTURED AUTO TRANSMISSION, THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY AT 14600 MILES AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL CALLED HONDA HEADQUARTER (888) 234-2138 TO COMPLAIN LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PROVIDE LOANER CAR OR SHUTTLE SERVICE WHILE THE AIR BAG BEING FIX. COMPLAINED TO HEADQUARTER 4/15/2016 4:00PM. HEADQUARTER SAYS IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM. WITHIN 10 MILES RADIUS THESE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY TRANSPORTATION SERVICE WHILE AIR BAG IS BEING SERVICE, WHICH CAN TAKE 3-4 HOURS. 1)BILL PAGE HONDA 6715 ARLINGTON BLVD, FALLS CHURCH, VA 22042 2)HONDA OF TYSONS CORNER 1580 SPRING HILL RD VIENNA, VA 22182-2205 ( 703) 749-6600 3) BROWNS ARLINGTON HONDA/ 3920 LEE HWY ARLINGTON, VA 22207-3724 (703) 522-8808 4)ROSENTHAL LANDMARK HONDA 5125 DUKE ST ALEXANDRIA, VA 22304-2927 (703) 823-8000 5) ROSENTHAL FAIRFAX HONDA 11020 FAIRFAX BLVD FAIRFAX, VA 22030-5046 (703) 934-8500 6) SHEEHY HONDA 7434 RICHMOND HWY ALEXANDRIA, VA 22306-2301 (703) 660-0100 7) HONDA OF CHANTILLY 4175 STONECROFT BOULEV CHANTILLY, VA 20151 (703) 633-2400

TAKATA RECALL HONDA CALLED ME BACK IN JANUARY TO NOTIFY ME OF THE INFLATOR RECALL ON MY CAR AND TOLD ME I NEED TO BRING IT IN TO BE REPAIRED. SINCE I WAS WORKING A LOT AT THE TIME AND WAS CARPOOLING WITH MY BROTHER I TOOK THE OPTION TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AT A LATER DATE. I RECENTLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I NEED TO START DRIVING THE CAR A LOT AGAIN I CALLED HONDA BACK TO SET UP THE APPOINTMENT. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY COMPLETE AND GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO THE LOCATION THIS REPAIR WAS APPARENTLY DONE. I CALLED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME A DIFFERENT DEALER WAS THE ONE THAT DID THE RECALL. I WENT BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DIFFERENT DEALERS AND HONDA'S RESOLUTION TEAM MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS BEFORE THEY FINALLY GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO THE HONDA ASSOCIATION. I CALLED THEM AND THE LADY ON THE PHONE TOLD ME IT WAS ALREADY DONE. I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND SHE CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY DONE IN HOUSTON (WHICH IS ABOUT A 4-HOUR DRIVE FROM WHERE I LIVE) ON JANUARY 29TH. SHE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO TO HELP ME AND CONTINUED THAT IT WAS ALREADY DONE. I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT DRIVES THIS HONDA AND DEFINITELY DID NOT TAKE IT TO BE REPAIRED, AND HONDA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MEANWHILE AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM THE PAST FEW WEEKS I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I AM DRIVING MY CAR WITH DANGEROUS INFLATORS AND CAN'T GET THE REPAIR WORK DONE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OFFERED BY HONDA, WITH A NEW JOB IN FRISCO (ABO

MILEAGE: 133,000- STARTED MY CAR AT HOME AND COULDN'T GET IT OUT OF PARK. TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN WHILE STEPPING ON THE BREAKS. BREAK PETAL RELEASE AND HIT THE FLOOR. HAD TO TOW VEHICLE TO SHOP. SHOP FOUND THAT ENTIRE UNDER BODY (SUB-FRAME) WAS RUSTED, ROTTED/ LEAKING. BRAKE AND FUEL LINES TOTALLY ROTTED ALONG WITH ENTIRE UNDER BODY, ESPECIALLY NOTED- LOCATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE STRUT ASSEMBLY, BENEATH THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN. TOTAL COST OVER $2,000. ALSO, PAINT PEALING/ RUSTING OFF. STARTED AT 60,000 MILES. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THESE SAME ISSUES, AND FINDING THAT HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY (AIR CONDITIONER IS LOCATED RIGHT ABOVE ENGINE) I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO SPEND ANOTHER TIME ON THIS CAR AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE. I GUESS PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE HONDA WILL ADMIT MODEL FLAW. I'M SO LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING WHEN MY BREAKS WENT OUT.

FAILURE OF THE IGNITION PARK-SHIFT INTERLOCK THAT ALLOWED THE IGNITION KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION BEING SHIFTED TO PARK. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AFTER I TURNED-OFF THE CAR WHILE IN D AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN 05V025000 (WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER). THIS WAS ALSO ADDRESSED BY NHTSA ACTION RQ08006 (WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEGICLE'S VIN NUMBER). THE PROBLEM IS PERMANENT AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED THEM TO COVER THE FIX OF THIS ISSUE (CITING THE ABOVE NHTSA REPORTS) BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO SO. MY REQUEST IF FOR NHTSA TO INSTRUCT HONDA TO EXTEND THE COVERAGE OF 05V02500 TO MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER. MY ISSUE SEEMS IDENTICAL TO THE SAME ISSUE WITH HONDA ACCORD 1999-2002 AND MANY OTHER SIMILAR MODELS. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER WAS OMITTED FROM PRIOR RECALLS (05V025000 AND 10V364000) BY AN ERROR. IT IS JUST OUT OF LUCK THAT THE FAILURE DID NOT HAPPEN EARLIER AND DIN NOT CAUSE A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE HAVING MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, THE TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

SUBFRAME RUST CAUSED BY MISPOSITIONED A/C DRAIN PIPE DROPPED MY CAR OFF FOR HER 200K TUNE IN NH. THE MECHANIC SAID THE SUBFRAME UNDERNEATH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS SHOT. I DEBATED WHETHER TO SPEND $1100 FOR A USED SUBFRAME AND LABOR. DECIDED IT WAS A GAMBLE, BUT PROBABLY WORTH IT. DROPPED IT OFF TWO DAYS LATER AND HE SHOWED ME WHERE. I GRABBED THE FRAME AND IT JUST CRUMBLED. WITH THE NEW SUBFRAME AND TUNE, SHE RUNS LIKE NEW, EVEN AT 200K. LATER I DID MORE RESEARCH LATER AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I GOT THE CAR UP ON A FRIEND'S LIFT AND FOUND THE A/C DRAIN HOSE. IT WAS HIGH UP IN THE CAR AND REALLY SHORT! IT POINTED DIRECTLY AT THE SUBFRAME. I SIMPLY REPLACED THE HOSE, CLAMPED IT ON, THEN TIED THE END TO A THINGY FURTHER DOWN, SO THAT THE OPENING POINTED AT THE GROUND. LIKE $2 IN PARTS AND 20 MINUTES, AND I'M AN AMATEUR. I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT HONDA NEVER OFFICIALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DESIGN DEFECT. I GET THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR SUBFRAME REPLACEMENTS - THEY'RE A BUSINESS, YADDA YADDA. BUT IT'S SUCH A BASIC OVERSIGHT WITH AN EASY SOLUTION. JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DILIGENCE ON THEIR PART WOULD HAVE SAVED ME OVER A THOUSAND BUCKS. SUBFRAME RUST IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.
