OUR 2001 HONDA ACCORD HAD THE SAME TYPE OF BRAKE PROBLEM AS THE RECENT HONDA ODYSSEY AND ELEMENTS RECALL PROBLEM. THIS OCCURRED DURING COLD WEATHER AND BEGAN ABOUT ONE YEAR AFTER WE HAD EXTENSIVE BRAKE REPAIRS DONE. ONE COLD MORNINGS THE BRAKES HAD ALMOST NO "FEEL" AND REQUIRED US TO TRY TO JAM THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO SLOW OR STOP THE CAR. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER COULD NEVER FIND THE REASON FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 10 MPH, THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING AN UNUSUAL NOISE. AS THE CONTACT INCREASED SPEED, THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,655 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OF HONDA ACCORD LX 4-CYLINDER FWD - OCCURRED. THE D4 INDICATOR STARTED BLINKING. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE BEYOND 10 MILES OR GO TO 2ND OR MORE GEARS. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) LEAKS OCCURRED. AN ABNORMAL LOUD NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE HAS 83,000 MILES ON IT. SINGLE OWNER AND ALL SERVICE MAINTENANCE COMPLETED AT THE HONDA DEALER. I CONTACTED HONDA DEALER, THEY SAID, NEED TO CHANGE SHIFT SOLENOID B OR LINEAR SHIFT SOLENOID SET. IF THAT DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM, NEED TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. *TR

ACCELERATOR STICKING DOWN WHEN DRIVING; ESPECIALLY WHEN I FIRST DRIVE IT ANYTIME OF THE DAY. HAVE TO PUSH DOWN A COUPLE TIMES TO GET IT TO RELEASE. *TR

2001 HONDA ACCORD 4 CY COUPE - SRS LIGHT ON DASHBOARD ILLUMINATES AT RANDOM INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN DISABLED DUE TO EITHER A FAULTY SENSOR OR BAD CONTROL BOARD. ISSUE OCCURRED AFTER AIRBAG RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. NOTHING ELSE WAS PERFORMED THAT WOULD AFFECT THIS SYSTEM'S PERFORMANCE. *TR

SRS LIGHT. THIS INVOLVES AIRBAG SYSTEM ON 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX. THIS WILL NOT ALLOW AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY IN A CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS NOT REPAIR BY DEALER, BECAUSE THEY SAID WE NEED TO REPLACE IT AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURED RECALL BY HONDA. THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY HONDA, NOT BY OWNER OF VEHICLE. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BACKLIGHTING FAILS INTERMITTENTLY FOR DAYS AT A TIME. WHEN IT'S OUT, I CANNOT SEE THE SPEEDOMETER OR ANY GAUGES ON THE DASH AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO USE A FLASHLIGHT OR OTHER EXTERNAL LIGHTING TO SEE THE GAUGES. THE BACKLIGHTING NEVER FLICKERS -- IT'S EITHER ON OR IT'S OFF. I AM UNABLE TO DISCERN ANY PATTERN OR ACTION THAT CAUSES THE BACKLIGHTING TO GO OUT OR TO BEGIN WORKING AGAIN. THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS STILL WORK. MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX-V6 SEDAN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL 04V256000. MY DIMMER CONTROL WORKS WHEN THE BACKLIGHTING IS WORKING (AND STILL DIMS THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROLS EVEN WHEN THE BACKLIGHTING IS NOT WORKING). I REPLACED THE MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT AT MY OWN EXPENSE IN SEPT. 2009, BUT IT HAS HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION LETTER, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V593000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE INFLATER MODULE). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR THE RECALL REMEDY REPAIR. THE HORN FAILED TO FUNCTION AFTER THE RECALL REMEDY WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFUSED TO TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 3/24/10 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR THE HORN WORKED. UPDATED 09/16/10

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY CAR MOTOR SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY, UNEXPECTEDLY,NOTHING WAS DONE BY CLEAR LAKE HONDA DEALER BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FOUND PROBLEM UNLESS IT OCCURRED ON THEIR TEST DRIVE, AND ONLY IF BREAKS DOWN. *TR

I GOT IN MY CAR ONE MORNING AND MY AIRBAG (PASSENGER SIDE IN THE SEAT) WAS DEPLOYED. NO ACCIDENT, NOTHING HAPPENED, JUST DEPLOYED. HONDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT AND INSURANCE LOOKED AT IT AND CALLS IS A MECHANICAL FAILURE. *TR

MY 2001 HONDA 4-CYL EX REPEATEDLY EXPERIENCES TRANSMISSION SLIPPING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DECELERATING AND RE-ACCELERATING (E.G., IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR WHEN DESCENDING ON A PARKING GARAGE RAMP AND THEN REACCELERATING ONCE ON THE PARKING LEVEL. SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE A NEUTRAL IDLE FOLLOWED BY SUDDEN LURCH, TO NO TRACTION AND A RACING OF THE MOTOR WHILE THE VEHICLE "HUNTS" FOR TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR BEFORE ENGAGING. SYMPTOM IS MOST FREQUENT DURING A DECELERATION BETWEEN SECOND AND FIRST GEARS. SYMPTOM FIRST STARTED AT ~80K MILES AND HAS GRADUALLY WORSENED (CAR NOW HAS ~116K MILES). HONDA'S ONLY RESPONSE: YOU SHOULD BUY A NEW HONDA. I REPORTED TO DEALER AND HONDA NATIONAL OFFICE, BUT THEY COULD NOT "REPLICATE" THE SYMPTOM. *TR

I RECEIVED THE HONDA ACCORD RECALL INFORMATION MAILER DURING THE SUMMER 2009 FROM HONDA CORPORATION. I QUICKLY CALLED MY NEIGHBORHOOD HONDA DEALER AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE NECESSARY PARTS AND I WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE- ABOUT 1 WEEKS TIME. YESTERDAY (FEBRUARY 9TH, 2010) I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HONDA THAT THERE WAS AN EXPANDED RECALL AND ADDITIONAL HONDA VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. THIS MESSAGE REMINDED ME THAT I HAD NEVER HEARD BACK FROM SUSSEX HONDA REGARDING THE RECALL FROM THE SUMMER-TIME. I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT THAT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP HAD FAILED TO ADDRESS THE RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH TO ME, MEMBERS OF MY YOUNG FAMILY AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC FOR WHICH THERE WAS AN AIRBAG RECALL BUT THE DEALER WON'T FIX THE DEFECT FOR FREE. *TR

MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD (WITH 80K MILES) AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WITH A JERK AND THE TRANSMISSION LOST POWER AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 30-40 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION THAT HONDA HAS IN THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING COULD PUT THE OCCUPANTS IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. HONDA STATES THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND INSTEAD WANTS THE CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE DESIGN/IMPLEMENTATION. *TW

MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN AT 150,000 MILES. CHECK ON INTERNET, THIS WAS AN ONGOING COMPLAINT FROM HONDA ACCORD OWNERS, SOME OF THEM BREAKDOWN EVEN AT LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REGULAR MECHANICAL REPAIR, THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

HAS BEEN CHECKED, DIAGNOSTICS RUN-NO ANSWER TO PROBLEM. IF I STOP, REOPEN MY GAS CAP, REPLACE THE CAP AND CRANK IT AROUND @ 3 TIMES, AFTER 4 RESTARTS OF ENGINE, THE LIGHTS GO OFF ON MY DASHBOARD. DO NOT SEE ANY DEFECTS WITH GAS CAP AS FAR AS GASKETS BEING DEFECTIVE.*CW

IN 2003, I BOUGHT A 2001 HONDA ACCORD FROM PRIME HONDA (THEN KNOWN AS CLAIR). AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A MONTH, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WASN'T SHIFTING OUT OF GEAR PROPERLY. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THE GEAR SHIFTING/SLIPPING CONTINUED AND EVERY TIME I WENT IN FOR SERVICE AND TOLD THEM, THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM. I EVEN MENTIONED TO THEM THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT THERE WASN'T. THEY KEPT TELLING ME THAT THEY DROVE THE CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. AROUND DECEMBER 10TH OF 2009, I ONCE AGAIN TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND MENTIONED THAT SHIFTING OF GEARS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOKED OVER THE CAR AND AGAIN FOUND NOTHING. ON DECEMBER 17TH, I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE IS IN DEED A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT COULDN'T BE FIXED. *TR

MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS SEVERE HESITATION IN SWITCHING GEARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN CLIMBING UP A HILL. I READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR HONDA ACCORD MADE AROUND 2001. I TRIED TO GET HONDA TO PERFORM REPAIR BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY (AS A SETTLEMENT OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT). SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEMS FOR MANY ACCORD, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. *TR

2001 HONDA ACCORD AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL. *NJ THE CONSUMER WAS NOT HAPPY WITH HOW THE RECALL REPAIR WAS HANDLED. THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON WHICH INDICATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP INSISTED THAT THE SRS LIGHT BEING ON HAD NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE AIR BAGS AND THEY WOULD NOT DEAL WITH IT UNLESS THE CONSUMER PAID THEM TO ANALYZE, LET ALONE FIX THE POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER THEN CALLED HONDA MOTORS AND WAS TOLD THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEING ON DID INDEED HAVE TO DO WITH AIR BAG SAFETY.

A FEW MONTHS AGO WE BEGAN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE LIGHTING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, WHO DETERMINED THE DIMMER CONTROL FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WAS FAILING, AND THEY REPLACED IT WITH A GENUINE HONDA PART. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. INSTEAD, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ARE NOW NON-FUNCTIONAL, CAUSING THE WHOLE CLUSTER TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS SEARCHING THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 04V256000. WHICH STATES, 'ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE DIMMER CONTROL FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COULD FAIL DUE TO HEAT BUILDUP. CONSEQUENCE: IF THIS OCCURS, THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS MAY FAIL AND, AT NIGHT, THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES, SUCH AS THE SPEEDOMETER'. I PHONED HONDA AND WAS TOLD OUR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I THEN SEARCHED THE WEB, AND FOUND MANY INSTANCES WHERE OTHER 2000/2001 HONDA ACCORDS HAVE SUFFERED THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CALLED OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THE NATIONAL 800 SERVICE NUMBER, ALL OF WHOM HAVE TOLD ME THAT OUR CAR IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS RECALL.

MY NAME IS EARLENE BELSEY AND I AM A 79 YEAR OLD WIDOW. I OWN A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. IN 2002, THE HONDA MOTOR COMPANY SENT OUT A NOTICE NOTIFYING ALL HONDA ACCORD OWNERS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS MODEL'S TRANSMISSION AND THE COMPANY WAS GOING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR AN ADDITIONAL "SEVEN YEARS OR 100,000 MILES, WHICH EVER COMES FIRST." THEY DID NOT RECALL THIS MODEL CAR TO OBVIOUSLY SAVE MONEY.THEY STATED THAT "IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION DURING THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD,JUST BRING YOUR CAR AND THEY WOULD REPLACE IT AT NO COST." PROBLEMS THAT COULD OCCUR ARE " ABNORMALLY LOUD NOISES...EXTREMELY SLOW OR DELAYED GEAR ENGAGEMENT...ABNORMAL GEAR SHIFTING...ERRATIC HARSH SHIFTING...HARD SHIFTS WHEN ENGINE IS COLD" WHICH IS JUST A FEW OF THE ISSUES LISTED. I ALWAYS KEPT THIS IN THE BACK OF MY MIND AND HOPED THAT NOTHING WOULD OCCUR. SINCE THEY DID NOT TAKE ACTION TO RECALL THE CAR, I JUST HOPED A SAFETY ISSUE WOULD NOT ARISE. EVEN THOUGH THE MANUFACTURE SUGGESTS YOU DUE TRANSMISSION SERVICE AT 60,000 MILES, I ACTED CONSERVATIVELY KNOWING THERE COULD BE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE, SO I SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION AT 30,000 MILES, AND AGAIN, HOPED THERE WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING ERRATICALLY. I HAVE JUST 66,000 MILES ON THIS CAR, BUT THE SEVEN YEAR PART OF THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED ON THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I ASKED MY SON IF HE COULD RESPOND TO THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. HE AGREED AND WAS DRIVING MY CAR T

COOKEVILLE HONDA SAID THIS TIME IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, NOT A RECALL ITEM, JUST A FREQUENT PROBLEM THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY, BUT OUR CAR HAS OVER 157,000 MILES.

CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL FOR 2001 HONDA ACCORD DRIVER'S AIR BAG INFLATOR.

MY SRS LIGHT STAYS ON (AIRBAGS) AND WHEN I WENT ON LINE IT WAS SAID BY THE NHTSA THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THEY ASKED FOR MY VIN# AND SAID MINE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DRIVE 50 MILES TO MY JOB AND 50 BACK HOME. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I DRIVE A 2001 HONDA ACCORD . I AM HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY OR HOW ONLY A FEW PEOPLE ARE NOTIFIED AND THE REST HAS TO PAY OUT OF POCKET! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS TO SAY THE LEAST! *TR

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON AS LONG AS THE ENGINE IS ON. NO CORRECTION DONE, CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. CAR IS 2001 HONDA ACCORD. *TR

2001 HONDA ACCORD EX REAR ENDED 2007 TOYOTA SOLARI AT 30-32 MPH. THE HONDA ACCORD FRONT END WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY INTO THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION AND WAS TOTALED OUT BY INSURANCE COMPANY.

HONDA ACCORD 2001 NEEDS NEW OPDS UNIT I NOTICED THAT MY SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW OPDS UNIT AT $6662.70. NOW THAT SEEMS UNGODLY STEEP. BUT TO TOP IT OFF WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH IT, I FIND THAT MANY HONDA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING EXACTLY THE SAME THING I AM. I THINK HONDA SHOULD REPLACE IT. *TR

SRS LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE ARE MANY HONDA CAR OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR 2K MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW FRACTURED, THEN SHATTERED INTO PIECES.

I HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A BIG RIG ON THE FREEWAY ON I-5 MONDAY AUGUST 31ST. I WAS GOING ABOUT 68/MILES AN HR WHEN THE BIG RIG HIT ME FROM THE FRONT. THE IMPACT WAS PRETTY BAD BECAUSE I HAVE CERVICAL STRAIN AND BEEN IN BED SINCE MONDAY. ALSO STRAINED MY BACK DUE TO ME BEING THROWN FORWARD N BACK EVEN WITH MY SEAT BELT ON. THE STRANGE PART IS THAT MY AIR BAG DIDN'T GO INFLATE WITH THAT MUCH IMPACT. I THINK IF THE AIR BAG WOULD'VE INFLATED THEN THAT WOULD'VE SAVED ME FROM ALL THIS INJURY. 5 YEARS AGO, I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AS WELL AND AT THAT TIME I REAR ENDED A STILL CAR GOING ABOUT 65 MILES AND AT THAT TIME THE AIR BAD DIDN'T GO OFF EITHER, MY CONCERN AT THIS POINT IS THAT THERE'S SOME DEFECT IN THE AIR BAG IN MY CAR BECAUSE IT SHOULD'VE INFLATED THIS TIME DUE TO THE IMPACT BUT IT DIDN'T. *TR

SRS LIGHT ON MY HONDA ACCORD KEEPS COMING ON. HAD IT RESET AT HONDA DEALERSHIP STILL KEEPS COMING ON. WORRIED AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON A 2001 HONDA ACCORD 12 DAYS AND LESS THAN 400 MILES AFTER HAVING HONDA REPLACE (REBUILD) THE TRANSMISSION.

TOOK BACK TO HONDA ON DAY 12 AND WAS TOLD" IF ITS COVERED, THEY'LL FIX IT". IF ITS COVERED ITS 12 DAYS AND 400 MI. FROM YOUR SHOP AND YOU TREAT ME LIKE YOUR NOT RESPONSIBLE. THE CODE SHOWS 1705 (TRANS. FAILURE) THE SAME REASON YOU REPLACED THE TRANS IN THE FIRST PLACED. AFTER GETTING A SERVICE REP. TO LOOK AT IT THEY ARE ORDERING A SENSOR TO REPLACE, AND NOW ARE TELLING ME THAT IT IS THE ALARM THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. THE ALARM HAS BEEN ON THE CAR FOR A LONG TIME NOW, AND HONDA KNOWS AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS ARE USED BY A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THEIR OWNERS, SO IF IT'S THE ALARM, THERE SHOULD BE A FIX BY HONDA FOR THAT PROBLEM. WHY MY CAR WON'T SHIFT OUT OF 2ND, DOESN'T SEEM LIKE MY ALARM WOULD TELL MY TRANS. NOT TO DUE THAT. I PLACED 2 EXACTLY THE SAME ALARMS ON MY WIFE'S AND MY DAUGHTERS CARS (HONDA AND A TOYOTA) ONE'S DOING FINE !!! *TR
