I DISCOVERED THERE IS A RECALL ON 2000 HONDA ACCORDS THAT PERTAIN TO AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. MY RESEARCH DISCOVERED THAT THE FIRST SIGN THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS IS THE SRS LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON & STAYS ON. THIS HAPPENED TO MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. 1 WEEK AGO I CONTACTED EMILY IN THE SERVICE DEPT AT ROCK HONDA IN FONTANA CA. I WAS TOLD MY VIN DID NOT APPLY TO THE RECALL. I EXPLAINED THAT MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE CARS THAT WERE RECALLED. I ASKED HOW THEY COULD KNOW FOR ABSOLUTE SURE THAT MY AIRBAG IS NOT DEFECTIVE BASED ON A VIN NUMBER. AN ANSWER WAS NEVER PROVIDED. AFTER PUSHING THE ISSUE EMILY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT FREE OF CHARGE. EMILY TOLD ME THAT SHE WOULD FOR SURE SEE ME ON THE SCHEDULED DAY AND TO MAKE SURE THAT I TALK TO HER. AT THE TIME OF THE APPOINTMENT IT WAS FOUND THAT EMILY HAD GONE ON VACATION W/O INFORMING ME ABOUT MY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT POSSIBLY NEEDING TO BE CHANGED, NOR DID SHE LEAVE ANY INFO FOR THE SERVICE MEMBERS ABOUT MY SITUATION. I WAS TOLD TO JUST INSPECT THE CAR IT WOULD COST $75 AND SINCE THE SRS LIGHT IS ON THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG W/ MY AIRBAG AND IT WOULD COST AN ADDITIONAL $800 TO FIX. HONDA SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX MY CAR FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE OF MY VIN NUMBER, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE THAT THERE IS INDEED A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM W/ DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN THE 2000 HONDA ACCORDS. IT WAS ALSO FOUND THAT SINCE MY CAR IS A CANADIAN HONDA, BUT WAS SOLD TO ME BRAND NEW IN SO. CALIFORNIA AT ROCK HONDA, THAT AMERICAN HONDA WILL NOT DEAL WITH THE SITUATION AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT CANADIAN HONDA CANNOT FORCE A U.S. DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS I DRIVE 6 DAYS A WEEK TO & FROM WORK. A 1 WAY TRIP IS 45 MINUTES LONG IN HEAVY STOP & GO TRAFFIC. I'M EXTREMELY SCARED I WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT & WILL BE INJURED BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I FEEL LUCKY IN THE 3 & HALF YEARS I'VE OWNED THE CAR I HAVE NOT YET HAD AN ACCIDENT. *AK

BRIDGESTONE TIRE FAILURE. *SLC

UNLESS THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS IN THE FULL-BACK POSITION, AND HAS BEEN PUSHED HARD TO LOCK IT INTO POSITION, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET IT TO LOCK IN POSITION IF THE POSITION IS CHANGED WHEN A PASSENGER ENTERS THE REAR SEAT. THE RESULT IS THAT AFTER THE FRONT PASSENGER IS SEATED AND THE CAR BEGINS TO MOVE, THE SEAT WILL USUALLY FREELY MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD, UNLESS THE PASSENGER HAS FIGURED OUT HOW TO MOVE THE SEAT FORE-AFT LEVER DOWN INTO THE LOCKED POSITION WHILE GENTLY MOVING THE SEAT FORWARD OR BACK. NORMALLY I WARN PASSENGERS OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT NONE SEEM ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE LOCKING OF THE SEAT IN A MIDWAY FORE-AFT POSITION WITHOUT ENDANGERING THE KNEES OF THE REAR SEAT PASSENGER. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALER YET DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, AND NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED BECAUSE I HAVE WARNED THEM ABOUT THE SEAT. STILL, THIS CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE LEFT THE FACTORY WITHOUT THE PASSENGER SEAT LOCK WORKING EASILY AND PREDICTABLY.

BECAUSE SRS WARNING LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF AFTER STARTING VEHICLE , IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP BELIEVES THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE SEAT BELTS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A MONTH WAITING FOR PART(S) TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *AK THE DEALER INSTALLED TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT BUT IT FAILED WITHIN A MONTH. *YH

TRANSMISSION MADE A LOUD SQEAKING NOISE AND THE AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILED TWICE. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED APPX. 7 DAY AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED OF THE PROBLEM AND INSISTED IT WAS JUST NEW CAR NOISES THEY WILL WORK THEMSELVES OUT. AND AGAIN IN APRIL MAY I INFORMED THE DEALER AND THE SAME THINGS WAS SAID. NOW I HAVE A REPLACED TRANSMISSION AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY THE SRS SYSTEM KEEPS FAILING. *AK

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WENT ON TWICE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID FUEL FILLER: CAP WAS NOT ON PROPERLY. THEN, IT WAS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAUSING ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. A WEEK LATER, SRS LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING SOMETHING WRONG WITH AIRBAG AND SEATBELTS. *AK

ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 2003, I BROUGHT MY CAR IN WITH ABOUT 12000 MILES TO DEALER BECAUSE THE SRS LIGHT WAS GOING ON. DEALER COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. IT WHEN ON OR OFF UNTIL 95,000 MILES. AT 95,000 MILES THE LIGHT STOOD ON. AT 98,000 MILES, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION INSPECTED DUE TO A RECALL. I ASKED DEALER TO CHECKED MY AIR BAG PROBLEM. THEY DETECTED PROBLEM AS BEING A FAULTY AIR BAG MODULE. UNFORTUNATELY DEALER, DID NOT WANT TO REPAIR MODULE UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD EXPIRED. ALTHOUGH, I BROUGHT IN MY CAR AT 12,000 MILES LETTING THEM KNOW OF A PROBLEM. IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND OPTED NOT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HAD THE AIR BAG SYSTEM RE- SET. THE LIGHT WHEN OFF. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON A MONTH LATER. CURRENTLY, IAM RIDING THE CAR WITH NO AIR BAGS ON AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO HONOR MY WARRANTY WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AT 12,000 MILES AND INFORMED ME THAT IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT CAN I DO?*AK

HEARD A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. UPON INVESTIGATION AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE QUALITY OF HONDA. I AM GOING GET THE NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN TOMORROW. I WILL POST ABOUT THAT EXPERIENCE LATER (I HOPE IT IS GOOD). HOWEVER, BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS GOING TO RUN OUT IN LESS THAN 3000 MILES, I NEED AN EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY FROM HONDA. IF HONDA DOES NOT COME AROUND, I WILL TRADE THIS CARR AND NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA IN MY LIFE AND I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE I DO NOT CONSIDER AS MY ENEMY.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION KEY COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AT ANY SELECTED GEAR. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE DEFECT UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V025000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

CONSUMER STATED UPON TAKING DELIVERY OF VEHICLE, BEFORE LEAVING THE CAR LOT, THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT LIGHT REMAINED LIT AFTER ALL THE OTHER DASHBOARD PANEL LIGHTS WENT OUT, CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY DEALER THAT WAS NORMAL AND IF THE LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF WITHIN 1,000 MILES TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK, CONSUMER THEN RETURNED THE VEHICLE 1 MONTH LATER AND INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THE LIGHT WAS STILL COMONG ON, THE CAUSE WAS A FAULTY SEAT SENSOR AND THE PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED, HOWEVER 4 MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN, AND A NEW PART AND SENSOR WERE INSTALLED, ON OCTOBER 16, 2001 CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE DRIVERS AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY, HOWEVER THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DID DEPLOY.*JB

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD THAT FELL INTO THE CATEGORY OF HAVING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION BY HONDA'S OWN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. INSTEAD OF OFFERING A RECALL THEY OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 109K. WELL MY CAR HAS A 130,000 MILES. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT AFTER BEING TOLD THIS CAR SHOULD GO 200,000 MILES BY THE DEALER THAT INSTEAD I HAVE TO REPLACE A $3000 TRANSMISSION. IF HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THEIR MISTAKE THEN WHY IS THE CONSUMER PAYING FOR IT? AFTER READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I QUESTION WHETHER THE NEW TRANSMISSION BEING PUT IN WILL BE EVEN LAST. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO OFFER A RECALL. DRIVING 20 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY ONCE THE TRANSMISSION FAILS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DISC BRAKE ROTORS WARPED. DEALER TURNED THEM BUT THEY CONTINUE TO RE-WARP. DEALER DENIED PRESENCE OF PROBLEM ON SECOND VISIT WITHOUT A VISUAL INSPECTION. *AK
