2002 Honda Accord complaints

TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER TO FIX JUST THE AIRBAG ISSUE BUT GOT MY CAR BACK WITH BROKEN STARTER RELAY EVEN IF I JUMP START MY CAR IT WONT CRANK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND HESITATED BEFORE MOVING FORWARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

MY REQUIRES THE SWITCH RECALL DONE DEALER SAYS ITS NOT COVERED BY THE VIN. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AS HONDA RECOMMEND I MARKED THE COVER WITH CLEAR TAPE .THEY CLAIMED TO LOOK AT IT BUT DIDN'T. THEY DID GET THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE RIGHT ON THE JOB CARD. SO I DID THE RESEARCH I'M ASE TECH FOR 15YRS AND FOUND HONDA DOCUMENT AND PERFORMED INSPECTION AND FOUND THAT RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ON THIS CAR. I WENT TO DEALER AND GOT THE PART LISTED IN THE DOCUMENT AND COMPARED IT TO THE ORIGINAL AND FOUND THEM TO BE AS DESCRIBED EVEN THE MATERIALS USED ON THE CONSTRUCTION WERE DIFFERENT AND IMPROVED ON THE NEW PARTS. I THINK HONDA IS LYING ABOUT HOW MANY OF THESE SWITCHES ARE FAULTY. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN ON 5/18/2015 FOR THE RECALL ON THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG AT HONDA REDWOOD CITY, CA. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY ON 7/16/2016 WITH FRONTAL IMPACT GOING 35-50 MPH AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. BASED ON THE SPEED AND LOCATION OF IMPACT I BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A CLUNKING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE DRAIN FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER LEAKED ONTO THE SUBFRAME AND CAUSED IT TO BECOME RUSTED AND FRACTURED. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE PART WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED; HOWEVER, A REPAIR WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS--IT IS WORSE WHEN I STOP, THE ENGINE IDLES, AND THEN SEVERELY JERKS WHEN I ACCELERATE, BUT THE JERKING MOTION ALSO HAPPENS GOING UP INCLINES. IT IS SO BAD, IT HAS CAUSED BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO FAIL, WHICH COULD BE HAZARDOUS WHILE DRIVING. THOUGH I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR, I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS JUST OLDER AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS NATURALLY FAILING, BUT DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S TRANSMISSIONS IN GENERAL, BUT PARTICULARLY WITH THE '02 ACCORD. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2013, BUT I WILL PUT TODAY'S DATE AS IT STILL IS HAPPENING. I FEEL LIKE THIS ISSUE IS SO PREVALENT AMONG HONDA OWNERS THAT HONDA REALLY SHOULD DO RIGHT BY THEIR CUSTOMERS AND RECALL THE TRANSMISSION.

HIT A POTHOLE, AND HEARD LOUD CRACK. BODY SHOP FOUND LARGE CRACK IN SUBFRAME AND DEEMED UNREPAIRABLE. FOUND LARGE RUSTED AREA ON SUBFRAME, WHICH WAS DEEMED A "HONDA DEFECT" AND STATE FARM REFUSED TO COVER THE CLAIM. HONDA REPORTS THERE WAS NO RECALL.

I HAVE NO SEAT BELT LIGHT AND MY SRS LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF

IT WAS IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE FRONT SUB FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS RUSTED TO THE POINT IT WILL NOT PASS A PENNSYLVANIA STATE INSPECTION I CALL HONDA BUT THEY WILL NOT HELP ME THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 1999 TO 2002 HONDA ACCORDS AND A SAFETY PROBLEM I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR AND THE COST TO FIX IT OS OVER $2000.00 ( ONLY 99531 MILES ON IT ).

I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR DAYS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE AIR BAGS RECALL. LEAVING MESSAGES WITH NO ABILITIES TO SPEAK WITH ANY ONE. NO ONE RETURNS MY CALL. CALLED CUSTOMER CARE OF HONDA WITH NO MUCH OF THE USE

MY DRIVER AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BY THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER ON 11/05/2014 BUT THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STILL COMES ON.

TRYING TO CHECK A 2002 HONDA AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE TO SEE IF THE 2002 INFLATOR ON THE VIN # OF OURS HAS BEEN REPLACED. VIN # WAS HARD TO READ. NOW I'VE RECEIVED ON THIS SITE A NOTIFICATION THAT THE VIN# IS VALID. WHAT'S NEXT TO GET AN ANSWER RE: THE INFLATOR REPLACEMENT?

MY VEHICLE IS ROLLING OVER WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF (AND KEY REMOVED) AND THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. HONDA IS NOT RESPONDING TO THIS MATTER PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY COULD BE MOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE IN GEAR AND THE VEHICLE CAN ROLL AWAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 251,575. UPDATED 08/17/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND ON ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SRS. UPDATED 11/03/16.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT THE DIAGNOSIS OR WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL IN MARCH 2005 ON THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD FOR IGNITION PARK INTERLOCK. I CHECKED THE CAR BY LEAVING IT IN DRIVE, TURNED OFF ENGINE AND REMOVED KEY - CAR THEN BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THIS IS WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. SINCE THE VIN NUMBERS DIDN'T MATCH WHAT HONDA DETERMINED TO BE FAULTY, THEY NOW SAY THAT IT ISN'T THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. I AM CONFUSED HOW THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SOME CARS BUT NOT OURS. BECAUSE IT WASN'T LISTED WITHIN THE RANGE OF VIN NUMBERS ACCORDING TO HONDA? SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED, THE ENGINE BLOCK IS VERY CRACKED, WHICH CAUSED THE RADIATOR TO GET OIL ALL IN IT. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WELL WAS CORRODED AND THE FRONT SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000.

TAKADA INFLATORS. MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD HAS HAD 2 RECALLS ON THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR OR AIRBAG. THE SRS LIGHT IS ON ALL OF THE TIME. I EXPLAINED THAT THE LIGHT USED TO COME ON AND GO OFF WHEN IT WAS VERY HUMID OR HAD RAINED. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF THAT, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. I ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY WOULD CONTACT HONDA AND ASK IF THEY COULD REPLACE BOTH AIRBAGS OR INFLATORS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT SINCE IT HADN'T BEEN A PART OF THE RECALL. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR/BAG AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH THE SRS LIGHT STILL ON. RECENTLY I HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. ONCE AGAIN I REQUESTED THAT THEY CONTACT HONDA TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE SINCE THE SRS LIGHT IS STILL ON. ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THEY WOULDN'T DO SO AS IT ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THE INJURIES AND DEATHS RELATED TO THE SRS/INFLATORS, WHY WOULDN'T THEY INVESTIGATE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS? I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO SO MYSELF. THEN THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME HE'D NOTE IN THE HISTORY THAT I "REFUSED TO FIX IT". I WENT AHEAD AND SCHEDULED A TIME TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. AFTER I GOT OFF THE PHONE, IT REALLY MADE ME MAD THE WAY THE DEALER IMPLIED THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM AND NOTE THE HISTORY. SO, I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL NUMBER BACK AND ASKED THEM TO NOTE ON THE HISTORY OF MY CAR THAT I INFORMED HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SRS LIGHT AND

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS MAKING A U-TURN, IT WAS STRUCK HEAD ON BY A TRUCK. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, SHOULDER, BACK, AND FEET. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000. UPDATED 05/18/16*LJ *TR

PASSENGERS SIDE SEATBELT IS LOCKED AND WILL NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO BUCKLE UP

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS GIVEN ME A PROBLEM ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2011. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE MUFFLER FIXED TWICE JUST RECENTLY MARCH 22,2016 COST WAS $422 AND PRIOR IN 2014.. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT JUST KEEPS COMING ON ,AND THE VEHICLE INSPECTION IS FAILING BECAUSE OF EMISSIONS. I AM FEARFUL THAT ODORLESS GASSES ARE SEEPING INTO THE CAR WHICH IS A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND PASSANGERS

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNED A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER PERFORMED A RECALL REPAIR ON THE VEHICLE PERTAINING TO THE AIR BAGS; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT FULLY DEPLOY AFTER THE REPAIR. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS PUSHED OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION AND WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND ONLY THE RIGHT SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A BROKEN NECK THAT REQUIRED INTENSIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A YARD AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE IF THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT FULLY DEPLOY. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL, HEAD ON COLLISION ON HIGHWAY, THE AIRBAG DASH OPENED UP, AIRBAG CANISTER/INFLATOR SHOT OUT WITH AIRBAG HITTING ME IN CHEST FRACTURED STERNUM. RE:10795239.

MY CAR IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STOPPED ON HIGHWAYS, BUSY INTERSECTIONS, DAYTIME-NIGHTIME. HONDA DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS OTHER REPAIR SHOPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THEIR ELECTRICAL TESTS. THEY TEST DRIVE AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. THE CAR WILL GO 2 -3 BETWEEN OCCURENCES, BUT IT HAPPENS. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED. PRESENTLY, THE CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AT 125,000 MILEAGE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAPPENS TO OTHER HONDAS. IF THIS IS TRUE, THIS WARRANTS A RECALL. THE HOOD ON MY ACCORD DOES NOT CLOSE. THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY. THE CONTACT SWERVED, LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE OVER A CURB. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER ACTIVATED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR CUTS, AND HEAD AND NECK INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG, BOTH SEAT BELTS AND BUCKLES, AND A SOS UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SENT OUT A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,965.

REAR BRAKES DRAG WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND DRIVEN. *JS

MY ACCORD IS SUFFERING FROM SOME SEVERE RUST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SUB FRAME. I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT IT IS WORSE THAN I HAD THOUGHT. THE RUST AFFECTS THE AREA IN WHICH THE SWAY BAR IS MOUNTED TO THE FRAME, WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM IS MOUNTED, AND ALSO SUPPORTS THE ENGINE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL, CAUSED BY AN A/C DRAIN HOSE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND HOPE HONDA HEARS MY/OUR CONCERNS.

MAY HAVE TO DO WITH TAKATA RECALL. AS LONG AS I'VE HAD THE CAR (I BOUGHT IT NEW) THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS GONE ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I'VE HAD ALL RECALL WORK DONE. THE LIGHT PERSISTS IN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. EVERY TIME MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE I ASK THEM TO CHECK THIS MATTER TO SEE WHY THAT'S HAPPENING, AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME IT'S NOT A PROBLEM AND THE AIRBAGS AND THE LIGHT ARE FUNCTIONING AS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE. SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. I NOTICE THAT THEY NEVER MAKE MENTION OF HAVING CHECKED THIS OUT ON THE SERVICE ORDER. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME, MOVING, STATIONARY, ANY TYPE OF STREET OR HIGHWAY, TURNING, ETC. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND UNDER ANY CONDITIONS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. I'M REALLY BECOMING CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY FACTOR AND IF I WOULD HAVE A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WAS REAR-ENDED--HARD--AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY SHOULD IN A REAR-END COLLISION, BUT THEY DIDN'T. I COULDN'T GIVE A DATE AS PER YOUR FORMAT BECAUSE THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM 2002 UNTIL THE PRESENT, 2015, SO THE DATE I ENTERED BELOW IS TODAY'S DATE. I ALSO COULD NOT GIVE A MILEAGE BECAUSE THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM 0 MILES TO THE 47,000 MILES THE CAR NOW HAS ON IT.

THE SUB FRAME IS RUSTED AWAY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I NOTICED IT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IF I WOULD'VE KEPT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE RUSTED FRAME GAVE WAY, ME AND MY KIDS OR OTHER PASSENGERS IN VEHICLES ON THE ROAD COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR EVEN KILLED

I TOOK MY ACCORD TO TEMPE HONDA FOR A TRANSMISSION SERVICE. TWO DAYS LATER, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND JERKING AS IT SHIFTED. THE CODE CAME BACK AS A TORQUE CONVERTER CONTROL FAILURE. I REPLACED THE TCC SOLENOID PACK AND THE LINEAR SOLENOID PACK. I WAS INFORMED LATER BY TEMPE HONDA THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST. I FOUND OUT THAT HONDA HAS ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION THROUGH SEVERAL MODEL YEARS AND THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THEM. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE. HONDA WANTS $5000 TO REPLACE IT.

TAKATA RECALL, IN 2010 WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, I WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WE WERE HIT HEAD ON. THE DASH CAME OFF AND WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SMALL ROCKET CAME OUT AND HIT ME IN THE CHEST BREAKING MY STERNUM BONE IN HALF, THEN THE AIR BAG OPENED. RECENTLY I SAW ON TELEVISION THE CANISTER FOR THE AIRBAG AND IT WAS THE SAME SIZE. I BELIEVE WHAT HIT ME, WAS FIRST, THE CANISTER BEFORE THE AIRBAG OPENED. POLICE WERE CALLED AND I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON A HIGHWAY. WE ARE FROM OHIO AND WERE VISITING MY SON, USING HIS CAR ON DEC. 24TH, 2010. I WAS TAKEN TO YAVAPAI MEDICAL CENTER IN PRESCOTT VALLEY ARIZONA. THERE ARE HOSPITAL RECORDS, POLICE AND INSURANCE RECORDS. CAR WAS TOTALED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE GAUGE AND RPM UNIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE FAILURE OCCURED ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

2002 HONDA ACCORD WITH 115,000 MILES MAKING CLUNKING NOISES WHEN DRIVEN, MADE WORSE WITH TURNS. TOOK TO A MASTER MECHANIC 2 DAYS AGO WHO INITIALLY SAID THAT THE SWAY BAR WAS LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THAT IT'S A LOT WORSE THAN JUST THE SWAY BAR, THAT THE SUB FRAME IS RUSTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THERE'S A HOLE. IF THE SUB FRAME BREAKS WHILE DRIVING, IT COULD BE A VERY BAD SITUATION CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE UNTIL REPAIRED AND THE COST COULD EXCEED THE VALUE OF THE CAR IF A NEW SUB FRAME IS USED. IN THE PAST 4 YEARS I HAVE PURCHASED 3 HONDA VEHICLES, THIS ACCORD, A 2010 CIVIC, AND A 2010 CRV, BUT IF HONDA DOESN'T TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS DESIGN FLAW (WHERE THE AC DRAIN IS CONSTANTLY DRIPPING ON THE SUB FRAME CAUSING IT TO RUST) AND DO THE RIGHT THING, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA IN MY LIFE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO I NO LONGER TRUST AND WILL NEVER DEAL WITH AGAIN. YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE RUST WHEN THEY SOLD ME THIS VEHICLE FOR MY THEN 16-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I'M DISGUSTED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS HONDA. I AM ALSO VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE CLEAR COAT PEELING OFF THE BODY OF THE CAR. IT LOOKS AWFUL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE SRS AND MAINTENANCE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. 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 FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 219,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PRESSURE WAS DOWN AND THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL RECENTLY AND AS I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE RED LIGHT SRS APPEARED. IT STAYED ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING. IT DID THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES AND FINALLY IT JUST STAYED ON. SINCE I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE I'VE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I GOT HOME AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN REPLACE THE AIRBAG AND THAT IT WAS THE SEATBELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM. LIGHT IS STILL ON NOW. THE ONLY SEATBELT THAT IS USED IS MINE AS I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF MY VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE LIGHT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE OUTCOME SO I WILL KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL REPAIR AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE AIR BAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL. MONTHS LATER, THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED RANDOMLY AND THE SRS WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES THAT HAPPENED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR AND WAS TO INSPECT AND DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED BY THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

MY FAMILY WAS ASLEEP AND MY CAR HORN WAS GOING OFF (I DON'T HAVE A SECURITY ALARM) RAN OUTSIDE AND MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY ON FIRE AT 3:30AM. WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED AND THE FIRE MARSHAL COULDN'T TELL EXACTLY EITHER OTHER THAN HIS OPINION OF MAYBE AN IDEA OF THE LOCATION IT STARTED. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS COULD BE THE ISSUE OR JUST A COINCIDENCE, BUT... MY POWER STEERING SUCKED AND I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO GO ON A 10HR TRIP. I ASKED FOR HIM TO FILL THE POWER STEERING AND DO ALL OTHER NECESSARY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BEFORE A LONG TRIP (ROTATE TIRES, OIL CHANGE, ADD FREON, ETC) I WAS ON VACATION FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS AND THEN IT CAUGHT FIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. CAR RAN FINE BEFORE THAT. ANYWAYS FRIENDS DID SOME RESEARCH AND TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON HONDA ACCORDS 2003-2007 THAT THE STEERING FLUID CAN DEPLETE AND CAUSE FIRES. MY CAR IS A 2002, THE CAR IS OLD WITH MANY MILES HOWEVER, RAN GREAT. SO NOT SURE WHAT IT COULD BE BUT THAT'S PRETTY COINCIDENTAL!

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

THE LACK OF SUPPORT AND DESIGN OF THE DRIVER SEAT HAS CREATED LOWER AND MID-BACK ISSUES WITHIN MY SPINE. I ALSO SUFFER PAIN IN MY RIGHT HIP. I HAVE FOR YEARS AND STILL VISIT MY CHIROPRACTOR REGULARLY TO HELP WITH THE PAIN CAUSED BY THE DRIVING THE CAR.

FAULTY SRS DASH AIR-BAG STATUS LAMP LIGHTS-UP; MALFUNCTION OF AIR-BAG CONTROL MODULE SENSOR SYSTEM DISABLING AIR-BAG DEPLOYMENT - CODE 723505----DEALER DIAGNOSIS 7/15/15: "FAULTY / MALFUNCTIONING OCCUPANT (PASSENGER) DETECTION SENSOR IN RIGHT FRONT SEAT BACK----DEALER SOLUTION: "REPLACE ENTIRE OCCUPANT (PASSENGER) RIGHT FRONT SEAT BACK FOR $595.00"----THE SRS LIGHT AND CODE HAVE BEEN CLEARED TWICE AND IS NOW BACK AND ON AGAIN----PLEASE HELP AND MAKE HONDA FIX IT PROPERLY SO IT DOESN'T RECUR----

DRIVING AROUND 60 M/P/H ON 08/12/15 , A BANG CAME FROM THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. WHEN I GOT HOME I INSPECTED THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINE SUB-FRAME HAD ROTTEN AND FELL APART, I WAS VERY LUCKY I DID'NT HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT HONDA HAD IT AC DRAINPIPE DIRECTS WATER, WHICH IS RIGHT ONTO THE SUB-FRAME IN THIS SECTION, WHICH CAUSE IT TO RUST OUT FASTER THAN THE REST OF THE FRAME. I WILL BE GETTING IT REPAIRED, BECAUSE MY GRANDDAUGTHER NEED THIS CAR TO GET WORK & COLLEGE. HONDA MOTOR SHOULD REPAY ME. I UNDERSTAND THAT HONDA KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SOME YEARS AGO. (1999 - 2002 PROBLEM).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE MADE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN MAKING A TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SOFT FRAME WAS ROTTED OUT. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE AIR CONDITION HOSE WHICH DRAINED WATER ON THE FRAME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, EXPLAINING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OLD AND WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

WAS GOING HOME AFTER A INTERVIEW AND GOT T-BONED. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE. HAD TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE MY ARM HAD A HUGE KNOT ON IT AND LOOKED BROKE. DOCTOR SAID IT WASN'T BROKE BUT WAS BRUISED TO THE BONE. HAD TO TAKE THERAPHY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A THREE LANE ROAD ON THE MORNING OF 7-18-15. A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IN THE MIDDLE LANE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN. TO AVOID HITTING THAT VEHICLE I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT LANE AND INTO THE BIKE LANE. I WENT UP THE CURB WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED ON, WHILE BRAKING, AND HIT A LIGHT POLE JUST BEHIND THE CURB. I HAD 'HELP' GOING UP THE CURB AS A FARMER (WHO FARMS THE PARCEL ADJACENT TO THE ACCIDENT SITE) HAD BUILT AN ILLEGAL 40 FT 'RAMP' UP THE CONCRETE CURB WITH ASPHALT TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR HIS FARM EQUIPMENT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE STAYED ON THE ROAD TRAVELING ALONG THE CURB (IN THE GUTTER). THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. ESTIMATED SPEED WAS 50MPH PER THE COUNTY SHERIFF. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR CT SCAN OF THE HEAD AS I HIT THE WINDSHIELD. SUFFERED FROM TEMPORARY AMNESIA AND SLURRED SPEECH. WE WENT TO THE TOWN OFFICIALS AND REPORTED THE 'RAMP' AND IT WAS REMOVED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. WE NEED HONDA TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE (WHICH WAS TOWED TO OUR HOME) BUT AFTER A WEEK OF LEAVING VOICE MAILS FOR THE CASE MANAGER WE ARE STILL WAITING A RETURN CALL. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WANT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BUT WE WANT IT INSPECTED TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. NOTE: WE RECEIVED AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON 7-27-15 (AFTER THE ACCIDENT) BUT I THINK THIS NOTICE IS FOR A DIFFERENT ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS (NOT A DEPLOYMENT ISSUE).

I STARTED MY CAR ONE MORNING AND THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD I T TESTED VIA COMPUTER AND IT SHOWED DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE SENSOR, HONDA ON 500 YONKERS AVE, YONKERS WILL NOT REPAIR AT NO COST, AMERICAN HONDA EXPLAINED THAT AS WELL TO ME ON CASE # N012015-07-2000208, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM , MY HONDA BOOK READS SEAT BELTS AND COMPONENTS HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND THE BUCKLE WITH SENSOR IS A COMPONENT AND THEREFORE MY SRS STAYS LIT, IT ALSO READS THAT IF IT DOES STAY LIT MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY, CAN YOU DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM MA 10/25/15

TODAY I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM HONDA OF IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL TELLING ME THAT THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG INFLATOR IN MY CAR CAN INJURE OR KILL. THE EMAIL INSTRUCTION PROVIDED BY HONDA TO CONTACT HONDA DOES NOT ACHIEVE CONTACT; IT SEEMS TO BE PROVIDED AS A CYA PROVISION INSTEAD OF A BONA FIDE EFFORT TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHSTA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.
