2001 Honda Civic Complaint Log

BRAKE FAILURE

LIGHT SWITCH TERMINAL OVERHEATED. WHILE IN MOTION ON THE ROAD, LOW BEAM LIGHTS SUDDENLY GO DARK, BUT HIGH BEAMS AND PARKING LIGHTS DO WORK FINE. SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 04V086000

TAKATA RECALL - I HAD RECALL NOTICE . - 7/13 - HENNESSY HONDA - WOODSTOCK, GA ( INVOICE # HOCS623783) PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS INSTALLED). AT THAT TIME MY MILEAGE WAS 117,706. IN SEPT. 2017 I TOOK CAR TO HONDA CARLAND - ALPHARETTA, GA (WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUG., 2001) AS THE SRS LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO TURN IT OFF. IN DEC. 2017 BOTH SRS LIGHT AND SIDE AIRBAG LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT THE OPDS UNIT AND SENSOR WERE BAD INTERNALLY, CAUSING CODE 15-3 - NEED TO BE REPLACED, AND QUOTED ME OVER $1000 TO DO SO. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL THAT WAS RECEIVED AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IN 2013.. I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY. BOTH LIGHTS STILL REMAIN ON, AND I AM HESITANT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT.

THE WAS JUST PARK AND WHEN I PUT THE IGNITION KEY ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND KEY IGNITION DIDN'T WANT TO START

IN JULY 2017, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED (WERE INOPERABLE), BUT THE HIGH BEAM AND ALL OTHER EXTERNAL LIGHTS WERE OPERATIONAL. THESE ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF A HONDA SAFETY RECALL SERVICE BULLETIN 04-015. THIS CAR HAD THE SAFETY RECALL REPAIRS IN SEPTEMBER 2009, BUT THE SAME SYMPTOMS REAPPEARED IN JULY 2017. DEALER MADE THE REPAIRS (IT TOOK TWO TRIES TO GET IT RIGHT AS SHOWN ON THE INVOICES ATTACHED) AND CHARGED ME FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY SAID THE COMPANY WILL PAY FOR THE FIRST RECALL REPAIR BUT NOT SUBSEQUENT ONES.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NEVER INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT MY CAR WAS AMONG THE HONDAS BEING RECALL DUE TO THE AIR BAG. I PURCHASED MY CAR USED FROM BROWN MAZDA IN CHANTILLY, VA. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO SINCE IS MY 23-YR OLD SON WHO DRIVES THE CAR. THANK YOU. THE DATE I'M TYPING BELOW IS WHEN I'M SENDING THIS EMAIL. NOTHING HAS HAPPEN WITH AIR BAGS - YET. I WATCHED A REPORT ON THE NEWS THAT SAID TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE. THE PROVIDED THE URL ADDRESS.
