2000 Honda Accord Complaint Log

SUBJECT: HONDA 2000 ACCORD SRS LIGHT SAFETY DEFECT DEAR ADMINISTRATOR: HONDA DEALER AT SALINAS IN CALIFORNIA PERFORMED RECALL ?IGNITION LOCK? WORK ON MY CAR ON 3/16/05 (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED INVOICE). AFTER THAT, THE SRS (AIRBAGS) LIGHT REMAINS ON MY CAR. MY CAR CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 32,600 MILES. BEFORE THE DEALER PERFORMED THE RECALL WORK, MY CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE. I CALLED DEALER ABOUT THIS SRS LIGHT ISSUE. DEALER SAID I HAVE TO PAY $101 FOR A COMPUTER DIAGNOSES PLUS EXTRA FEE TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOUND. I, HOWEVER, DISAGREE BECAUSE THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON RIGHT AFTER THE DEALER PERFORMED THE RECALL WORK. BEFORE THAT, MY CAR WAS IN THE PERFECTLY SHAPE AND NEVER GOT INVOLVE IN ANY ACCIDENT. AS THE DEALER SAID, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHILE THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. I THINK MY CAR?S SRS LIGHT ISSUE IS CAUSED BY EITHER THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE OR IT IS ANOTHER SAFETY DEFECT IN HONDA 2000 ACCORD. THEREFORE, YOUR KIND HELP ON MY CASE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! SINCERELY, [XXX] P.S. CAR INFO: HONDA 2000 ACCORD LX 4DR, [XXX] *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THE VEHICLE IS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE DRIVERS POWER SEAT BRACKET HAS BROKE. THIS IS THE FRONT LEFT CORNER. THIS IS A POWER SEAT. I THINK THE WELD FAILED. I WILL TAKE IT TO A SHOP FOR REPAIR AND REINFORCEMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION AND WOULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH IN A COLLISION. I THINK THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL. INCIDENTALLY, I AM NOT OBESE. I WEIGH 215 POUNDS AND AM A 6 FT TALL MALE.

THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, THE CODE SAID BAD EGR VALVE, SO IT WAS CLEANED OUT, WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK, THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED AND 8 MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SAYING THAT THE EGR VALVE IS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. *NM

I BOUGHT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD 2 DRIVE IN DECEMBER 1999 BRAND NEW, AND MY FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE CLUNKING NOISE EVERYTIME I WOULD REVERSE. IT FELT I HAD HIT SOMETHING BECAUSE IT WOULD JERK. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND MY TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AFTER ONLY 4 MONTHS OF HAVING THE CAR. THEN AGAIN IN 2002 MY CAR STARTED JERKING AND TAKING A LONG DELAY GETTING IN GEAR. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND MY TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. NOW IT'S 2005, AND I WAS ADVISED I NEED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT JERKS WHEN I ACCELERATE AND IT ALSO DELAYS WHEN GOING INTO GEAR (FEELS LIKE IT IN NEUTRAL WHEN I'M ACCELERATING). I'VE LOST MY FAITH IN HONDA'S AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I KNOW OF OTHER PEOPLE SAME CAR SAME PROBLEMS. *AK

DT: CONTACT HAS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND HE SAYS THAT HE IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HIS SBS-AIR BAG LIGHT. HE SAYS THE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON SO HE TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THE WIRING BUNDLE HAD BEEN CUT THROUGH BECAUSE SOMEONE THAT MANUFACTURER THE VEHICLE HAD PUT THE BUNDLE UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AND THEY WIRED THE BUNDLE WRONG THEY PUT THE WIRE TO THE AIR BAG OVER THE WIRE TO THE SEAT. AND THE MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT GOING FORWARD AND BACK AND THE VIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE HAD CUT THE WIRE TO HIS AIR BAG AND DISABLED IT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE AMERICAN HONDA COPORATION ON APRIL 29TH AND THEY GAVE HIM A CASE NUMBER N012005-042900577 HE TALKED TO BRIAN HO AND HE TOLD HIM THAT HE WAS GOING TO MAIL A LETTER TO HIS HONDA DEALER STATING THE PROBLEM THE CONTACT WAS HAVING. SO IN A COUPLE OF DAYS HE TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO HIS HONDA DEALER HE SAID HE NEVER RECIEVED A LETTER SO THEY TOLD HIM THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND SO WHEN THE CONTACT CALLED BACK MAY 9TH AND THEY TOLD HIM THEY WERE GOING TO DISMISS. THE CONTACT SAYS THAT HIS WARRENTY IS OUT ON HIS VEHICLE AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY HE THINKS THEY DISMISSED THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT (SRV) CAME ON, AND LOCAL GARAGE CHECKED IT OUT ON THEIR COMPUTER. THEY CAME UP WITH A "CODE 9-2 AIR BAG INTERNAL FAULT", AND SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT COMPUTER CHECK, AND, IF A FAULT WAS FOUND, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR. MY COMPLAINT: FIRST, AIR BAGS BEING SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ITEM, AND THEIR INSTALLATION MANDATED BY THE GOVERNMENT, I FEEL THAT WHEN A DEFECT APPEARS, A RECALL AT THE MANUFACTURER'S EXPENSE IS IN ORDER. SECOND, IF THE SAFETY BOARD DOES NOT HAVE A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF SIMILIAR COMPLAINTS TO ORDER A RECALL, THEN AT THE VERY LEAST THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE COMPUTER TEST.

2000 ACCORD SRS LIGHT ON AFTER 70K MILES. THIS IS ALLEGEDLY DUE TO INCREASE CELL PHONE USAGE. ITS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. CONSEQUENCES ARE PREVENTION AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. *NM

MY CAR SRS INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON BACK IN APRIL OF 2005. IT STAYS ON WHILE MY CAR IS ON WITH AND WITHOUT PASSENGERS. I FINALLY TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC HOPING THAT THEY COULD RESET THE LIGHT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AND IT COULD DEPLOY AT ANYTIME. THE MECHANIC ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS IS QUITE COMMON IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING BECAUSE I BOUGHT A HONDA FOR THEIR REPUTATION FOR SAFETY AND QUALITY. BUT TO THINK THAT MY AIRBAGS CAN DEPLOY AT ANYTIME I DRIVE OR EVEN NOT WORKING IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT IS VERY CONCERNING. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WITH THE HONDA ACCORD COUPE MODELS BETWEEN 1998-2003. MY CAR IS A 2000 V6 HONDA ACCORD COUPE LX. THANKS. *NM

THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP STATED THEY RESET THE SWITCH THE FIRST TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN TO BE FIXED. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP A SECOND TIME AND THEY SAID A SWITCH IN THE SEAT BELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN THE MEAN TIME, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS IN MY CAR ARE NOT WORKING BECAUSE OF THE SRS LIGHT BEING ON. *NM

2000 HONDA ACCORD LX V6 AUTOMATIC, WITH WHAT ELSE " TRANSMISSION TROUBLE" WE PURCHASED CAR AND WITHIN 2 MONTHS WOULD MAKE HORRIBLE BANG NOIDE WHILE BACKING UP. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WITH COMPLAINT 5 SEPERATE TIMES AND THEY LIED STATING THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT PROBLEM WAS AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN I DEMANDED THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THEIR TRANSMISSION TECH MEET ME ONE MORNING I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM AND THE TECH KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS AND THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED. AFTER THEY PUT GOD KNOWS WHAT IN IT I TOOKS IT BACK COMPLAINING OF A NOISE THEY SAID THEY HAD IT ON THE LIFT LISTENED TO IT AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING EXCEPT TIRE NOISE, THEY THING BROKE RIGHT IN THERE PARKING LOT WHEN WE WENT TO PICK IT UP. I JUST LOOKED AT THE JERK MANAGER AND SAID TO HIM " COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG, DON'T EVER GO HICKING THERE ARE RATTLESNAKES THAT MAKE LESS NOISE THAN THIS TRANSMISSION DID AND WE DON'T NEED TO LOOSE ANYMORE LIARS ON OUR LITTLE PLANET NOW DO WE?!!!!". HE HAD NO RESPONSE. WELL NOW TRANSMISSION # 3 IS GETTING READY TO BITE THE DIRT, HAS BEEN SERVICED EVERY 30,000 MILES AND NEEDING REPLACED WITH ONLY 118,000 MILES ON VEHICLE, 68,000 SINCE LAST ONE WAS PUT IN. IT WILL BE THE ABSOLUTE COLDEST DAY IN HELL BEFORE I EVER DARKEN HONDAS DOORS AGAIN.

DT: 2000 HONDA ACCORD. LUGS:NUTS BROKE OFF. HAD NOT CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED A LOCAL GARAGE AND PAID TO HAVE LUGS:NUTS PUT BACK ON. ALSO, CONTACTEDTHE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RECALLS, AND CONSUMER REQUESTED THE NUMBER FOR NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. PURCHASE VEHICLE IN 2000. THE CONSUMER TRIED TO ROTATE THE TIRES AND THE LUGS:NUTS BROKE OFF. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. *AK

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN AND MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY & EVER SINCE THEN IT HAS NOT WENT OFF. I AM VERY CONCERN ABOUT THIS WITH 2 KIDS THAT RIDES IN THIS CAR I BROUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT IS KNOWN FOR ITS SAFETY AND IS DEPENDABLE. BUT IF THE AIRBAGS DON'T DEPLOY THAT IS DANGEROUS. *TR

DT:THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT A COLLISION WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING A T40-50 MPH. SHE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. SHE WAS ON A PAVED ROAD AND DID NOT GO OVER ANY BIG BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE SRS LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND GOING OFF INTERMITTENTLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. NO ONE WAS HURT. THE DEALER GAVE HER AN ESTIMATE OF $2,000.00 TO PUT IT BACK THE AIR BAG BACK IN. SHE CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY DECIDED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIR BAG. *AK *NM

SRS LIGHT (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE): THIS LIGHT IS ON ALL OF THE TIME. I HAVE GOTTEN ESTIMATES OF $75 TO $110 JUST TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWED THAT HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THIS LIGHT BEING ON. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A MAJOR RIP-OFF OF CONSUMERS FOR A KNOWN, DEFECTIVE SYSTEM!*AK

2000 HONDA ACCORD WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED BUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.*MR THE IMPACT WAS ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT THE VEHICLE SRS LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER RESET IT ONCE, REPLACED A SENSOR IN THE SEAT BACK OF THE PASSENGER'S SEAT AND REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT CLASP. *NM

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2000 ACCORD COUPE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES TO RESET AIR BAG LIGHT. . AFTERWARDS, THE AIR BAG SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. DEALER DID KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR THIS DID NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. CONSUMER HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIR WORK. *AK

CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IGNITION INTERLOCK REPAIRS DONE. UPON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE CONSUMER WAS STILL ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING. *AK

SRS LIGHT IS ON, VEHICLE NEEDS NEW OPDS. RESULT: NO WORKING AIRBAGS, ESTIMATED REPAIR $663.65+TAX NOT SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM EXTRA CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT DEALER AND EXTRA CARE SAYS NOT COVERED CHECKED ONLINE CONSUMER FORUMS - SOME GOT IT COVERED, SOME DIDN'T. *AK

WITH 46,270 MILES, TWO HEAD BOLTS BROKE RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF THE HEAD GASKET. THE VEHICLE DID NOT OVERHEAT UNTIL AFTER THE GASKET FAILED. THE DEALER HAS "SUGGESTED' THAT THE BOLTS WERE OVER TORQUED AFTER MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON IT THAT WOULD INVOLVE THE HEAD BOLTS. REPAIR INVOLVED A NEW GASKET KIT AND 12 NEW BOLTS. I HAVE THE OLD BOLTS.*AK

HONDA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ARE FAILING LEFT AND RIGHT, AND THE NEW TRANSMISSION HONDA IS REPLACING WITH ARE AS BAD AS THE ORIGINALS.*AK MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 53000 MILE AFTER MANY MILES OF MAKING WHISTLING, CLICKING, GRINDING NOISES AND GENERALLY GIVING THE IMPRESSION YOU WERE ABOUT TO BE STRANDED. HONDA REPLACED TRANSMISSION UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY IN MARCH OF 2005 AFTER REQUIRING ME TO SPEND A $100 BUCKS TO SERVICE THE OLD ONE PRIOR TO DIAGNOSTICS. REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION JERKS AND MAKES ALL KINDS OF NOISE WHEN PUT IN REVERSE AND HIT THE GAS. LOCAL HONDA DEALER (HUGHES HONDA IN WARNER ROBINS, GA) TRIES TO LINK IT TO THE SOME BRAKE PAD ALIGNMENT NON-SENSE IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET ANOTHER $130 OUT OF ME. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER TO CHANGE THE PADS WITH THE AGREEMENT BEING THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ABSORB THE COST IF THE TRANSMISSION NOISE WAS NOT FIXED. THEN THE PADS THEY JUST TOLD ME WERE WORN OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD TONS OF LIFE LEFT. THE CAR WITH THE SAME BRAKE COMPONENTS AND PADS DID NOT MAKE THE NOISE UNTIL AFTER THE NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED. HONDA HAS A REAL PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FORCED VIA RECALL TO ADDRESS ANY AND ALL TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS OR BUY THE CAR BACK.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED VIA PHONE. DEALER URGED THE CONSUMER TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST.*AK

VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO GO INTO REVERSE WHEN PUT INTO GEAR, WHICH WAS PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM BACKING OUT IF IT NEEDED TO MOVE OUT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. CONSUMER CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK UPDATED 3/28/2006 - THE TRANSMISSION IS SLUGGISH WHEN GOING UP HILLS UNTIL IT REACHES 20 MPH -3/3/2006. *NM

I DRIVE A 2000 ACCORD COUPE LX 4 CYC. AND SOME TIME MY CAR WOULD JUST LOSE POWER AND DIE. ONCE MY CAR LOOSE POWER I CAN NO LONGER HAVE CONTROL OF THE CAR. SEVERAL TIMES DURING A TURN AND WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE BEFORE ANY ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES, BUT EACH TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON 2000 BUT ONLY 98-99 ACCORDS. THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL BE MORE THEN HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE BUT AT MY EXPENSIVE. I WAS OUTRAGED THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT HONDA NEEDS TO FIX BEFORE I MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS TO MANY DEALERSHIPS BUT NONE OF THEM ARE WILLING TO FIND A FIX. *JB

VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSORS ARE DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON INADVERTENTLY AND DEACTIVATE THE AIRBAG, WHILE ON. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *NM

SAFETY RESTRAINT LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAGS KEPT COMING ON. CONSUMER HAS NOT TAKEN VEHICLE TO THE DEALER .*AK

I HAVE THE KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD WHERE THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. YOU CAN DO A GOOGLE SEARCH AND SEE THE WIDESPREAD NATURE OF THIS PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN A ACCIDENT AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE AIRBAG GO OFF WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY. WHEN I CALL MY DEALER THEY PRETEND NOT TO KNOW ANYTHING AND WANT TONS OF MONEY TO EVEN CHECK IT OUT. I HAVE THE HONDA CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE DEALER WON'T EVEN VERIFY IF THE PROBLEM IS COVERED OR NOT. *JB

I HAVE BEEN TO THE HONDA DEALER/SERVICE 4 TIMES TO FIX A SRS MALFUNCTION. TODAY I WENT TO THE SPIRIT HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE SRS LIGHT WAS ON. THE ASSISTANT SERVICE ADVISOR CLAIMED THE TECHNICIAN COULD FIND NO HARD PROBLEMS,"WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE SRS LIGHT TURNING ON. HE ORIGINALLY BLAMED ME, BUT WHEN QUESTIONED HE RETRACTED. THEN, CHARGED $43 DOLLARS FOR A PROBLEM, WHICH HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT. HONDA ACCORD IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 5 MORE MONTHS. THE COST FOR REPAIR AT THAT TIME WILL BE OVERWHELMING. AS THE SRS PROBLEM HAS BEEN A RECURRING . THE CONSISTENT FAILURE OF THE SRS ON 2000 HONDA ACCORD COUPE IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE MONETARY LOSS, WHICH I HAVE INCURRED MAYBE DUE TO A PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. WHEN I DID A SEARCH ON SRS PROBLEMS FOR HONDA ACCORDS I FOUND I AM NOT ALONE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF CONSUMERS WHO HAVE AN SRS PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY HONDA. *AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, CAUSING ACCELERATION. OWNER HAD TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. *AK

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED UNTIL VEHICLE SHUT OFF. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON. SIDE SRS COMES ON IN TURNS. DEALER HAS STATED THAT SOMETHING IN THE SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WE HAVE NO DRIVER SRS AT THIS TIME. VEHICLE IS UNDER USED CERTIFIED WARRANTY BUT DEALER STATES THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. WE PUCHASED A HONDA (HAVE OWNED MANY!) BECAUSE OF RELIABILITY, DURABILITY AND SAFETY. DOES NOT FEDERAL LAW REQUIRE SRS ON CURRENT MODEL VEHICLES? HOW CAN SUCH A COMPANY REFUSE TO FIX SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM>>>

I PURCHASED A NEW 2000 HONDA ACCORD V6 IN JUNE OF 2000. IT IS NOW 4 1/2 YEARS OLD AND HAS FEWER THAN 18,000 MILES. ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO I STARTED HEARING A WHINE OR WHIRR AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY (12/15/04). IT CHECKED OUT TO BE A BAD ALTERNATOR, AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE OVER $500 TO FIX!! I FOUND SEVEN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND ALL OF THEM (INCLUDING MINE) SHARE A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG LIGHT WHICH COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. MINE HAS BEEN COMING ON SINCE ALMOST DAY 1. HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME BACK THEN IT WAS DUE TO SOME CLOTHES OR CUSHION BLOCKING SOME SENSOR AT THE BACK OF THE SEAT AND WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I HAVE HAD MAINTENANCE DONE EVERY 3 MONTHS OR SO, THE MOST RECENT OF WHICH WAS DECEMBER 4, 2004. AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS NO WHINE, NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS, OR ANY INDICATION OF ANYTHING WRONG, BUT I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT, BUT NOW I KNOW WHY. IT WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT I BEGAN HEARING THE NOISE THAT WAS TODAY DIAGNOSED AS A BAD ALTERNATOR. AGAIN, GOOD MAINTENANCE RECORD, FEWER THAN 18000 MILES, NO WARNING LIGHTS, BAD ALTERNATOR. I AM DRIVING 300 MILES THIS COMING SATURDAY AND AM SCARED TO DEATH--HOPING THAT IT IS FIXED COMPLETELY AND THAT NOTHING ELSE GOES WRONG. I HOPE THIS GETS SOME ATTENTION FROM NHTSA!. *AK
