2001 Honda Accord Complaint Log

I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM ASPEN HILL ROAD ONTO NORBECK ROAD IN MARYLAND WHEN MY STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO KEEP THE CAR FROM CRASHING. UPON STOPPING AND INSPECTING THE POWER STEERING FLUID, IT WAS EMPTY. I TRIED ADDING FLUID AND IT JUST LEAKED OUT ONTO THE GROUND FROM THE STEERING RACK. I CALLED A HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING RACK FAILED AND THAT IT WILL COST OVER $2000 TO REPAIR IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE AIR BAG ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY WHEN SOMEONE OR AN OBJECT WAS PLACED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION HONDA 385 (4030 HACKS CROSS RD, MEMPHIS, TN 38125) AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN RECALL WAS REPAIRED ON HER VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.

CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD INTO FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE: P0740 CAME UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT IN CA REGARDING THIS AND THAT IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR MY GENERATION HONDA. I HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUIDS CHECKED AND THE LEVELS ARE FINE, COLOR IS GOOD, AND IT DOES NOT SMELL BURNT. BEFORE I PAY FOR A HEFTY REPAIR, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF HONDA HAS, OR WILL, TAKEN ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DID NOT OPEN IN THE DASH DURING A ROLLOVER AND FRONT END HIT. DRIVER HAD HEAD INJURIES FROM THE ROLLOVER WHEN HIS HEAD HIT THE TOP OF THE CAR. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PUSHED BACK IN THE SEAT IF THE BAG WOULD HAVE WORKED. THE AIR BAGS ON THE SIDE OF THE FRONT SEATS DID OPEN. THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS. UPDATED 9/23/15*JS

IN MARCH OF 2015, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. CONTACTED ME VIA MAIL CONCERNING A DEFECT IN THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR OF OUR FAMILY'S 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE LETTER STATES, "THE DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES COULD KILL OR INJURE YOU OR OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR VEHICLE." THE LETTER FURTHER INSTRUCTED OWNERS TO CALL ANY AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER TO A MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED AT NO COST TO US. I SHORTLY THEREAFTER CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER (DIAMOND HONDA OF GLENDALE) TO MAKE SUCH AN APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE NECESSARY PART NEEDED TO BE ORDERED AND THAT IT SHOULD ARRIVE WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. FOUR WEEKS LATER, ON APRIL 27, 2015, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO FOLLOW UP ON THE MATTER, AS I HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING FURTHER SINCE THE INITIAL CALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER AND WOULD "HOPEFULLY ARRIVE NEXT MONTH OR MAYBE JUNE." WHEN I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN THAT THIS WAS SUCH A SERIOUS DEFECT AS TO WARN AGAINST INJURY OR DEATH AS STATED IN THE RECALL NOTICE AND PRESSED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE SITUATION WOULD BE RESOLVED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VOLUME OF VEHICLES THAT NEEDED THIS REPAIR RESULTED IN SUCH A BACKORDER AND COULD NOT BE TOLD AN EXACT DATE OF WHEN TO EXPECT REPAIR, NOR WAS I OFFERED ANY MITIGATION FOR THE DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE NATURE OF OUR VEHICLE IN THE MEANTIME. I FAIL TO SEE HOW THIS SITUATION IS IN ANY WAY SURPRISING TO THE PARTS DISTRIBUTION DIVISION OF THE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC., AND IS NOTHING MORE THAN A POORLY EXECUTED/MOTIVATED RESPONSE TO AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES THAT IS PERPETUATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MILLIONS OF FAMILIES (MINE INCLUDED). I WISH TO FILE THIS REPORT WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO DOCUMENT SUCH A LETHARGIC RESPONSE ON THE PART OF THE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. IN REGARD TO THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL. *TR

I HAVE BEEN IN TWO WRECKS THAT WERE NOT MY FAULT OVER A MONTH PERIOD AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN I WAS HIT ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BUMPER OR WHEN I WAS HIT TODAY ON THE PASSENGER FRONT BUMPER WHEN I GOT MY CAR THEY SAID THAT THE ISSUES WAS FIXED IN SEPT 2013 AND I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL AGAIN SO I NEED SO ANSWERS.

DEAR SIR OR MADAM: I TOOK MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD V6 TO HONDA DEALER ([XXX] OF FRISCO, TX) FOR AIRBAG RECALL ON OCT 27, 2014. I WAS ALSO GETTING ENGINE WARNING SIGN ON MY DASH BOARD. AFTER AIRBAG REPAIR I RETURNED HOME AND FOUND FOLLOWING COMMENT ON MY INVOICE : "REDESIGNED AIRBAG INFLATORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR INSTALLATION AT THIS TIME." NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA. DEALER HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY VOICEMAIL AND AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THEY WILL RESPOND WITHIN 24-48 HOURS. SO FAR NO ONE HAS REACHED OUT TO ME. MY QUESTION TO THEM WAS IF YOU DID NOT HAVE THE REDESIGNED AIRBAG INFLATORS THEN HOW HAVE YOU FIXED THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE. REGARDING DASHBOARD ENGINE WARNING SIGN DEALER SAID I NEED TO INSTALL EGA PIPE KIT TO AVOID CLOGGING OF EGA PORT. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS PER THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN 99-085 AND WERE SUPPOSED TO INSTALL THE EGA PIPE KIT FREE OF COST. HONDA NEVER SENT ME ANY COMMUNICATION NOR ANY OF PAST HONDA DEALERS INFORMED ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER ASKED ME $650 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND EVEN CHARGED ME $107 FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH WAS DIAGNOSED EARLIER BY AUTOZONE TECHNICIAN IN JUST 1 MINUTE FOR FREE. HONDA DEALER EVEN REFUSED TO DO STATE INSPECTION SAYING MY CAR WILL FAIL THE INSPECTION IF THIS KIT IS NOT INSTALLED. I ASKED BOTH AMERICAN HONDA AND DEALER TO INSTALL EGR KIT FOR FREE SINCE IT'S A DESIGN ISSUE WITH THEIR ENGINE BUT SO FAR BOTH OF THEM HAVE REFUSED TO INSTALL IT FOR FREE. I WOULD REQUEST YOU TO TAKE THESE ISSUES WITH HONDA ESPECIALLY THE AIRBAG, EGR PORT ISSUE AND LACK OF COMMUNICATION REGARDING PROBLEMS IN THEIR CARS. NO WONDER HONDA COMES AT TOP IN QUALITY SURVEYS SINCE THEY ARE NOT TRANSPARENT ENOUGH TO COMMUNICATE PROBLEMS WITH NHTSA OR CUSTOMERS. I AM WORRIED ABOUT ME AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. THANKS. *TR

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.

2001 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $2400 FOR A RE-BUILT TRANSMISSION FROM ONE DEALER AND $3,000 FROM ANOTHER DEALER FOR A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. *JB

TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THIS IS A HONDA RECALL AND HONDA WILL NOT HONOR SINCE THE CAR IS OVER THE AGE FOR THE WARRANTY BUT STILL WITHIN THE MILEAGE. THIS VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS SERVICED AT THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND WERE NEVER INFORMED OF THE RECALL. *TR

2001 HONDA ACCORD LX SUB FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS RUSTED THROUGH. ALL THE OTHER PARTS OF THE SUB FRAME APPEAR TO BE IS SOLID CONDITION. AC DRAINAGE PIPE LOCATION ABOVE THE SPOT APPEARS TO BE THE REASON FOR THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN MICHIGAN AND BROUGHT TO FINLAND WHEN WE MOVED THERE. *TR

MY IGNITION-PARK INTERLOCK IS FAULTY BUT ISN'T UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. IT MAY BE COMMON SENSE TO PUT THE E-BRAKE ON WHEN PARKING BUT NOT EVERYONE IS PERFECT, MY VEHICLE HAS NEARLY ROLLED AWAY MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. LUCKILY I CAUGHT IT IN TIME TO STOP IT FROM CRASHING. ALSO IF I DO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN D4 WITH THE E-BRAKE ON, IGNITION KEY OUT OF COURSE, AND I LEAVE THE VEHICLE PARKED, SOMEONE COULD BREAK IN AND PUSH IT AWAY. REGARDLESS WHAT I SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT HONDA OF AMERICA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I JUST DID THAT AND GOT TOLD THE SAME THING.

TO HONDA CORPORATION RE: RECALL DEPARTMENT ON JUNE 19 2014 I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WHEN I WAS SUDDENLY HIT BY A DELIVERY TRUCK WHO WAS TRYING TO MAKE AN ILLEGAL LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR WAS TOTAL. THE FRONT SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR ARE TOTALLY DEMOLISHED. THE IRONY OF IT ALL IS THAT, THE FRONT AND THE SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. AND AS THE RESULT I WAS SEVERELY INJURED WITHOUT THE PROTECTION OF THE AIR BAG. ON MARCH 2015 WHICH IS ALMOST A YEAR AFTER MY ACCIDENT I RECEIVED AN AIR BAG RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA CORPORATION. I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE WARNING AND RECALL LETTER BEFORE MY ACCIDENT WHICH IS JUNE 19 20014. HONDA CORPORATION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY INJURIES FOR MAKING A DEFAULTED AIR BAG AND FAILED TO WARN ME ABOUT THE SITUATION BEFORE MY ACCIDENT. I AM ASKING THE MAKER OF HONDA TO PAY FOR MY OUTSTANDING MEDICAL BILLS WHICH IS INCURRED DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. I STILL HAVE MY HONDA. HONDA CORPORATION REFUSE TO REPLY TO MY LETTER.
