With all the airbag recalls, is the reason they have not recalled them on my 2000 Honda Accord and my 1996 BMW 328ic because there are so few still on the road and should a death or injury occur, it’s only one so not worth recalling them? I find it hard that cars not quite as old have been recalled but these have not. My son still owns his 1999 Honda civic, too! Thank you for your time and dedication to safety.

I received a letter about the airbag recall for my 2000 Honda Accord EX back in year 2020, so I call the dealer in Sanford to make an appointment. They tell me I have to take my car in first, then they will inspect it and order the part (AutoNation Honda Sanford 407-323-6100). I arrived early, they took my car in and in about an hour later they called me that my car was ready. I was surprised on how fast the job was done. I looked at the invoice paperwork Honda gave me and left home. At my house I was looking at the invoice and it did not show anywhere where the airbag was recalled, so there was NO second appointment. I called on the same day of my appointment (Nov. 14, 2020) and speak to a rep who I explained the situation. She placed me on hold a few times and at one point I asked to speak to the person who was in charge who was Michael Donaldson (service advisor 7927). I explained to the service manager that I did not see anything about the airbag being recalled. He said after the tests they performed, my car did not need the airbag to be replaced, so they did not schedule another appointment because of that. Mr. Donaldson did tell me that Honda performed a SOFTWARE update and that would be it. I asked Mr. Donaldson "how a software update is going to fix the metal pieces inside the airbag?" His replied was "that was all the car needed". I decided not to call the same Honda dealer again, but did call Holler Honda (407) 629-1234. Unfortunately before I was able to take my car in, the transmission failed, so I had to cancel. I WILL fix the transmission and the car WILL be on the road again. I have proof of what Honda in Sanford did on the day of my appointment. I keep receiving letters and emails about the recall, so something WAS NOT done correctly, because if they send the report that my car didn't need an airbag, why do I keep getting letters and emails to call for appointment? I ALREADY MADE AN APPOINTMENT and HONDA DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING.

On this vehicle, it is common knowledge that the V6 models have an issue related to the transmission (referred to as the automatic transaxle by Honda) where the system was not reworked to account for the extra torque put out by the more powerful V6 engine causing it to strip and shred portions of the gearing causing gear slippage, rough idling, and other similar issues usually occuring sometimes around or after the 80k mile mark. Upon finding out about this, I did some research and Honda's "solution" offered was that transmissions could be swapped for rebuilt ones salvaged off of other vehicles brought in for similar issues but there have also been reports of these rebuilt transmissions beginning to fail after they reach an additional 80k miles proving the issue was not truly resolved. On top of this, a formal recall was never made, owners were not made aware of this, and the offer was only made available to those who brought their vehicles in for this issues within a certain number of years and certain of mileage after their purchase which is very unsafe, anti-consumer, and shows a lack of care and responsibility on their part especially since this issue affects not only V6 Accord models, but also affects Ridgeline, Odyssey, and CR-V models that use the same engine and transmission combo. It should also be noted that, due to the lack of notice or action regarding this issue on the manufacturer's part, it has never been resolved on my model as the prior owners never knew of this issue when they bought the car new but the Honda owned dealership was happy enough to quote me a $1406 repair the last time I inquired about this issue.

I had this car for a few weeks with 120K miles on it and the transmission died on me while driving and almost got hit with a big rig. Lucky the big rig has enough distance to slam that break. This car needs attention and recall with the transmission. Been reading a lot of faulty transmission for this model and no recall. Not sure if a crash or fatality will occur first before they will initiate a recall. Honda is a reliable company but has this many complaints and no recall has been initiated.

I HAVE BEEN FAMILIAR WITH THIS CAR AND MANY OTHER SIMILAR HONDA'S OF THIS YEAR AND EVERY SINGLE ONE INCLUDING THE LOWER MILE ONES HAVE NEEDED A TRANSMISSION REBUILD OR REPLACEMENT. THE J30 TRANSMISSION IS INEPT TO DO ITS JOB AND THE STRAIN ON IT FROM THE V6 VTEC RENDERS IT USELESS QUICKLY. MUCH LIKE THE HONDA ODYSSEY IF SIMILAR YEARS THIS TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD AND NEEDS A RECALL. THIS CAR WAS MOVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON ITS WAY BACK FROM THE CITY WHEN IT WENT OUT, STRAIGHT LINE. *TR

Hello, The ignition switch in my vehicle has never worked right. I took the vehicle to a Honda dealership for a airbag recall and was told them about the ignition switch problem and recall. They said they would not do the recall and wanted me to call Honda. I called Honda and was told that I would have to pay for diagnostic fee before they would attempt any repairs for this recall. The Honda case number is 14383356. I refuse to pay a fee for what should be a free recall. If you could please help me with this issue I would certainly appreciate it. The recall information is as follows: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:05V-025 MFR CAMPAIGN ID:P68 CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION:99-02 ACCORD IGN INTERLOCK RECALL DATE:01/27/2005 Thank you in advance for all your help.

THE "BALANCE SHAFT SEAL POP OUT" IS KNOWN ISSUE (DEFECT) SINCE DAY1, HOWEVER, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY WAS TRYING TO COVER IT UP AND MY YEAR MODEL (2000) WAS INTENTIONALLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL LIST IN ORDER FOR THEM TO REDUCE THE COST BY RISKING PEOPLE'S LIFE. HOWEVER, IF YOU GOOGLE IT, 2000 YEAR AND EVEN LATER MODEL ARE ALL OVER THE PLACES. HONDA MOTOR COMPANY WAS BETTING ON ITS DEALER WOULD BE SUPPOSED TO PUT A RETAINER ON TOP OF THE SEAL WHEN THE CAR IS DUE ON ITS FIRST TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT HAPPEN, THE NET RESULT IS IT COSTS ME OVER $720 TO FIX IT AND I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH THE ENGINE WAS NOT BLOWN UP (AND I HAD NOT BEEN KILLED) ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THE EMPTY ENGINE OIL RESULTED FROM THIS SUDDEN SEALED BEING POPPED OUT (THE OIL WOULD BE GONE SECONDS AFTER POP OUT HAPPENS). WORST YET, AFTER THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED, I CONTACTED WITH AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR TALKED WITH [XXX] WITH SOME JAPANESE LAST NAME WHO HAD VERY BAD ATTITUDE AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, SIMPLY FLATTENED OUT AND TOLD ME I AM SORRY AND WE CAN NOT HELP IN ANYWAY. I BELIEVE IT IS TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND GRADUALLY DRIVE THIS VERY FOREIGN MOTOR COMPANY OUT OF US, THEY DO NOT CARE OUR LIVES HERE IN US ANYMORE.

AFTER 2 YEARS OWNING THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 17K MILES FRONT BRAKE PADS HAD WORN COMPLETELY AND HAD BEEN REPLACED BY A MECHANIC. AFTER REPLACEMENT WHEN ODOMETER SHOWED 19.5K MILES BRAKES HAVE BEEN OVERHEATING EXTREMELY AND LATER BRAKE PEDAL DURING USAGE STARTED TO EXHIBIT HEAVY PULSATIONS. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC THAT REPLACED PADS WITH HONDA BRAND PADS AND DISCS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED. AT 25K MILES VEHICLE PEDAL PULSATIONS CAME BACK, ROTORS METAL TURNED BLUE AND OVERHEATING WAS BAD. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A BRAKE DESIGN PROBLEM AND DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE ON MY OWN. I HAVE A MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MASTER DEGREE. AT ABOUT 40K MILES I MADE ROTOR REPLACEMENT AND OILED CALIPER BOLTS. ALSO, I INVESTIGATED HOW TOYOTA BRAKES OF SIMILAR CAR SIZE NEVER GOT SO HOT AND FOUND ONE CONSTRUCTION ELEMENT THAT DIFFERENT BETWEEN HONDA ACCORD 2000 BRAKES AND TOYOTA CAMRY BRAKES. TOYOTA BRAKES USE V SHAPE RETURN SPRINGS ON A BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE PADS HAVE HOLES IN THEM TO ACCEPT END POINTS OF THESE V SPRINGS. I DRILLED HOLES IN HONDA BRAKE PADS USING TOYOTA CAMRY BRAKE PADS AS A REFERENCE. ALSO, BENT V SHAPE RETURN SPRINGS FROM PIANO STRING 1.2 MM (BOUGHT IN ACE HARDWARE) AND INSTALLED THE SAME WAY AS ON TOYOTA. ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT 40K MILES. CURRENTLY CAR HAS 127K MILES AND SAME ROTORS AS I PUT IN 2004. I MANAGED TO GET 35-45K BETWEEN PADS REPLACEMENTS AFTER THIS MODIFICATION AND OVERHEATING OF ROTORS HAS STOPPED. WHOEVER INTERESTED IN FIXING THIS HONDA BRAKE DESIGN PROBLEM MAKE SURE TO OIL CALIPER PINS AND CALIPER SIDE CONTACT ELEMENTS OF BRAKE PADS DURING REPLACEMENT WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE GRAPHITE GREASE. THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN RESURFACING YOUR ROTORS! USE TOYOTA CAMRY BRAKE PADS AND V SPRINGS AS REFERENCE OR JUST BUY V SPRINGS DESIGNED FOR CAMRY (BRAKE REPAIR KIT). THIS WILL SOLVE ALL OVERHEATING AND DISK WOBBLING FOREVER. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2000 HONDA ACCORD USED IN 2003. IT HAD APPROX 14,000 MILES. AT 30,000 I HAD TO TURN THE ROTORS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY DRIVING HABITS THAT CAUSED IT. I AM 54 YRS OLD AND HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO TURN ROTORS UNTIL NEAR 60,000. I AGAIN WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AT 45,000 AND THEY TURNED THEM AGAIN. I NOW HAVE 54,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE FRONT END IS SHAKING AGAIN WHEN I DRIVE AND BRAKE NORMALLY AT 60 MILES AN HOUR. I'M GOING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO HONDA AGAIN. IF MY ROTORS NEED REPLACING THEN I PLAN TO ASK FOR MY PARTS BACK SO I CAN SHOW NYS DEPT OF MOTOR VEHICLES AND ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON HONDA BRAKES AND I CAN'T FIND ANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OR RECALLS FOR MY MODEL AND YEAR. UNBELIEVABLE. I WANT NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS. I RECENTLY GOT A CLASS ACTION SUIT LETTER REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION - THEY ARE EXTENDING MY WARRANTY 9 MONTHS - BIG DEAL.

BOUGHT CAR 12-31-1999. IN 2001, SIGNIFICANT "WARBLING"/SHAKING OF STEERING COLUMN WHEN BRAKING, AT HIGHER SPEEDS, TO THE POINT STOPPING WAS BECOMING PRECARIOUS. DEALER SAID ROTORS HAD WARPED, MOST LIKELY BECAUSE I HIT THE BRAKES HARD DURING WET CONDITIONS, GETTING ROTORS WET, AND CAUSING THE WARPING. ROTORS WERE TURNED. "PULSING" OF BRAKES STARTED AGAIN IN NEAR FUTURE; DEALER SAID THEY FIXED AT NO CHARGE WHEN DOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. PROBLEM RECURRED AGAIN. DEALER SAID COULDN'T TURN ROTORS AGAIN, AND NEEDED TO REPLACE THEM AND PADS (JULY 2004). I COMPLAINED; MECHANIC ACKNOWLEDGED WHEN ASKED DIRECTLY THAT HE HAD SEEN MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR/MODEL OF HONDA. I PAID FOR REPLACEMENT. AGAIN, NOVEMBER, 2004 PULSING STARTED. DEALER DID BREAK INSPECTION (FOR $19.95); IT WAS OBVIOUS THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE - THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE WARPING WAS RECURRING - ON THE REPLACEMENT ROTOR. I DISCLOSED FINDING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA WEB SITE; SERVICE MANAGER ASKED IF I HAD TALKED TO HONDA - IF HONDA AGREED TO COVER IT, THEY COULD DO THE WORK. PROBLEM IS, COVER WHAT? THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THIS SPECIFIC BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS CAR IS THE 6TH HONDA MY SPOUSE AND I HAVE PURCHASED. UNFORTUNATELY, IT MAY WELL BE THE LAST. *AK

SEAT WELDING LIKE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE LISTED DID NOT HOLD UP. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A NOISE AND MY SEAT FELL BACK. I ALMOST CRASHED WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE TOP HANDLE NEAR THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND PULL MYSELF BACK UP IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. CLEARLY THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT IS A FREAK ACCIDENT. THE PARTS CLEARLY HAVE NOT BEEN WELDED PROPERLY AND IT IS AMAZING THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT BY THIS. HONDA SHOULD OFFER TO FIX EVERY ONE OF THESE SEATS. THE FACT THAT A DRIVERS SEAT WELD COULD FAIL IN THE MIST OF JUST SITTING AND DRIVING YOUR CAR IS SCARY.

FRONT DRIVERS SEAT CAME LOOSE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO SUDDENLY LEAN BACK AS MY WIFE WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR GARAGE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS IF OUR DRIVEWAY WASN'T AS LONG AS IT IS. IT TOOK HER A WHILE TO READJUST HERSELF (SEAT WAS MOVING UNDER HER) TO GET HER FOOT BACK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL - WHEN THE SEAT REARED BACK. UPON INSPECTION, THE MOUNTING BRACKET THAT ATTACHES THE DRIVER SEAT ASSEMBLY ON THE LEFT FRONT CORNER HAS BROKEN WHERE THE BRACKET BENDS UP TO MOUNT TO THE SEAT ASSEMBLY. IT LOOKS LIKE METAL FATIGUE. IT IS AMAZING HOW THIN GAUGE METAL WAS USED FOR THE MOUNTING BRACKET? WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE CAR ; THE CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR AND HAS NOT ENDURED ANY HARD CONDITIONS OR ACCIDENTS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE DISASTROUS HAS SHE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACTUAL ACCIDENT. IT SCARES ME TO THINK OF HOW MANY 2000 HONDA ACCORDS MAY BE OUT THERE WITH THE BRACKET THAT HAS METAL FATIGUE AND WILL NOT HOLD UP IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. I NOTICED THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET (EXACTLY THE SAME THING OCCURRING) AND THERE WAS A PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION DONE IN 2003 ( # PE02072), I BELIEVE THE INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE RE-OPENED ASAP, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HOW MANY OLDER HONDA ACCORDS ARE STILL ON THE ROAD. THIS FAILURE LOOKS TO BE A GRADUAL IN NATURE AND APPEARS DIRECTLY RELATED TO METAL FATIGUE OF A THIN GAUGE METAL USED ON THE BRACKET. THE HIGH LEVERAGE FORCES CAUSED BY PASSENGERS PUSHING BACK ON THEIR SEAT BACK ( E.G., GETTING IN THE CAR, OR PULLING SOMETHING FROM THEIR POCKETS WHILE SITTING) WILL TAKE A TOLL ON THE THIN METAL BRACKET; EVENTUALLY THE BRACKET IT WILL FAIL AND MOST LIKELY AT A TIME WHEN THE INTEGRITY OF THE BRACKET IS NEEDED MOST (DURING AN ACCIDENT) FOR PASSENGER SAFETY. *TR

THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR CONCORD HONDA IN 2007 RECOMMENDED THAT I FIX A BROKEN WELD ON THE DRIVER SEAT FRAME BY HAVING IT RE-WELDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAD ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO TAKE IT TO HONDA OF AMERICA TO HAVE THE SEAT REPLACED EVEN THOUGHT IT WAS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD BECAUSE THE WELD SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED WITHIN A SIX YEAR TIME PERIOD. THE WELD ON THE SEAT HAS BROKEN AGAIN AND THE CURRENT SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE REPAIR BOTH BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS PASSED FOR A REPAIR, BUT ALSO HE WOULD NOT REPAIR THE SEAT BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL SERVICE MANAGER SHOULD NOT HAVE RE-WELDED THE FRAME AS IT WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DO SO. I CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA TO TALK TO THEM THIS TIME AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM IN THE 2006/2007 TIME FRAME, BUT THAT THE CAR WAS NOW TO OLD NOW FOR THEM TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. WHAT IS BOTHERING ME IS THAT THEY ADMIT THE SEATS WILL NOT STAY FIXED TO THE FRAME IN AN ACCIDENT. NOR DO THEY SEEM TO CARE ABOUT EARLY FAILURE OF THE WELDS AND THEM NOT HOLDING. I HAVE HAD A CAR THAT WAS 35 YEARS OLD AND THE WELDS WERE STILL IN PLACE. THANK YOU *TR

SEAT BELTS

25 complaints

My Honda dealership has the necessary seat belt part back ordered for months on end.

Dec 21, 2024

The seatbelt SRS system light was previously identified as defective by American Honda. When my notification light came on I immediately took vehicle to Honda Dealership for repair. I have been forced to do so multiple time during my vehicle ownership. Currently the SRS light has come back on yet Honda refuses to fully and completely repair the cause. I fear for my safety and others should an unfortunate accident were to occur. I reported the issue to American Honda. Incident report number 12902734.

Apr 20, 2022

HAD DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE REPLACED 6/11/20 AS SRS LIGHT CAME ON. UNAWARE THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL, WORK NOT DONE AT HONDA DEALER, PAID OUT OF POCKET. CODE 9-3. EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN IN EARLY JUNE 2018 WHERE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. WENT TO HONDA TO PURCHASE PART, LEARNED SEVERAL DAYS LATER THERE WAS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE ISSUE. HONDA DEALER DID NOT ADVISE ACTIVE RECALL FOR ISSUE AT TIME PART WAS PURCHASED. PURCHASED PART, LEARNED OF RECALL, HONDA DEALER REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE TO ME. EIGHTEEN MONTHS LATER, EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND CODE. NO OPEN RECALL AT THIS TIME. CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE/SENSOR FAILING SO THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I AM NOT GOING TO PAY AGAIN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA AND I AM ON A WAITING LIST TO GET THE AIRBAG ISSUE RESOLVED AS THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS BUT THE SEAT BELT PROBLEM IS ONGOING. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. STARTED CAR, SRS LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED, HAD CODE READ AND LEARNED IT WAS THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BUCKLE THAT HAS GONE BAD AGAIN.

Apr 08, 2020

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH OVER POTHOLES OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THE SEAT BELT RATCHETING SYSTEM TIGHTENED UP THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT. THE SEAT BELT FAILED AND WOULD NOT READJUST TENSION UNTIL UNHITCHED AND RETURNED BACK TO THE START POSITION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

May 05, 2016

THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT LOCKS PREMATURELY AT LOW SPEEDS AND WILL NOT RETRACT PROPERLY. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT SEATBELTS ARE NOT UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY IF IT IS MECHANICAL IN NATURE. THE PASSENGER SEATBELT ALSO GRINDS WHEN PULLED AND THE DEALER IS BEING DIFFICULT TO REPAIR. THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT IS SLOW TO RETRACT BUT APPEARS TO BE WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

K FRAME HAS RUSTED OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

May 14, 2018

PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME RUSTED TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE ISSUE IS CLAIMED TO BE DUE TO WATER DRAINING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER ONTO THE SUBFRAME SECTION WHERE THE SWAY BAR MOUNTS. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS FINE WITHOUT RUST. THE RUST IS VERY BAD AT THIS POINT AND HAS BROKEN THROUGH. THE REST OF THE SUBFRAME AWAY FROM THIS AREA IS FINE WITHOUT RUST OR SURFACE RUST WHICH CAN BE BRUSHED OFF TO EXPOSE GREY METAL IN GOOD SHAPE. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM I.E. RUSTED SUBFRAME UNDER THE AC DRAIN HOLE.

Jun 10, 2015

HEARD A NOISE WHEN BREAKING, TURNING, OR GOING OVER BUMP. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC & FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION SUB FRAME (REAR CROSS MEMBER) WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. SWAY BAR IS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. $1600 REPAIR & HE CAN NOT EVEN FIND A PART AS HE HAS SEEN SO MANY OF THIS SAME PROBLEM IN LAST COUPLE YEARS. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO AC DRIPPING ON THE FRAME IN THAT SECTION. DRIVER SIDE IS SOLID. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE! *JS

Jun 13, 2014

RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2000 HONDA ACCORD IN GREAT CONDITION. UPON INSPECTION NOTICED THAT THERE THE FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER/SUBFRAME WAS ROTTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCHING ONLINE HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS ABOUT THE AC UNIT LEAKING AND ROTTING OUT THAT PART OF THE SUB FRAME. *TR

Aug 18, 2013

I HAD GIVEN THE CAR FOR REPAIR DUE TO SOME NOISE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. WHEN THE MECHANIC INSPECTED THE HUB DUE TO BALL BEARING PROBLEM, HE REMOVED THE KNUCKLE (SPINDLE) AND FOUND THAT THE BACK PORTION OF THE CRADLE WAS RUSTED. PART # 50200-S84-A00 - RR BEAM. THIS HAS BEEN CAUSED DUE TO WATER DRIPPING FROM THE AIR CONDITION UNIT. IT NEEDS REPLACEMENT AS THE CRADLE MAY NOT LAST LONG. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME WAS SEVERELY CORRODED. THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSATION LINE DRIPPED FLUID ON TOP OF THE KEY SUSPENSION COMPONENT, WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

Dec 17, 2019

CAR FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO CORRODED SUBFRAME ON RIGHT HAND SIDE FRONT PASSENGER AREA. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF COMPONENT FAILED.

Aug 18, 2015

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE REVEALED SHOCKING FINDING: THE R/F CORNER OF SUBFRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH AND BREAKING. DEALER ADVISES IT SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP AND THAT THE CAR IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. OBVIOUSLY IT MAKES NO SENSE TO SPEND THE $2,500+TAX THAT THE DEALER PROPOSES, AS THE CAR IS BARELY WORTH THAT MUCH. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN 1998-2002 HONDAS AS THE AIR CONDITIONER DRIPS RIGHT ONTO THIS PART OF THE SUBFRAME. THE INCONTROVERTIBLE EVIDENCE IS THE DOZENS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR SUBFRAME RUST FILED HERE WITH THE NHTSA AND ELSEWHERE - ALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE - AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT HONDA CHANGED THE DESIGN ON THE 2003 MODELS. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE NHTSA IS WAITING TO FORCE A RECALL?? WHAT IF I HADN'T GOTTEN THE MAINTENANCE FOR ANOTHER FEW MONTHS?? WHAT COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY HAPPENED?? COULD I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AS THE BOTTOM PARTIALLY FELL OUT?? THIS IS A SERIOUS INJURY, IF NOT DEATH, WAITING TO HAPPEN! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!??? AS FOR HONDA, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. THEY OFFERED MINIMAL GOODWILL ASSISTANCE, AND, THROUGH THE DEALER, BASICALLY SAID, IT'S AN OLD CAR, PARTS FAIL. DISGUSTING THE CALLOUSNESS AND DISREGARD FOR CUSTOMER LOYALTY. THIS CAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE WORTH APPROX $2,500 RESALE VALUE GIVEN ITS MILEAGE AND CONDITION OTHERWISE. NOW IT'S A HEAP OF METAL. HONDA, I'LL TAKE MY HARD-EARNED MONEY TO YOUR COMPETITORS. *TR

Feb 14, 2015

I HAD A SCHEDULE OIL CHANGE AND THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT MY SUBFRAME WAS RUSTING AWAY. HE INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE SUBFRAME SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS CONDITION AS A RESULT OF NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION. I DO HAVE PHOTO'S OF THIS PART. *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" SRS LIGHT HAS REMAINED CONSISTENTLY ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SINCE 10/20/16. I WAS TOLD BY THE GARAGE THAT SERVICES MY CAR THAT I NEED TO HAVE MY AIRBAG REPLACED. THE LIGHT HAD COME ON AFTER I STARTED MY CAR, AND IT HAS NOT SHUT OFF SINCE.

Jan 15, 2017

I AM NOT ON THE RECALL LIST HOWEVER I CALLED HONDA AS THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON. AFTER SPEAKING TO 4 REPRESENTATIVES AT HONDA THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER RESPONDED TO A RECALL IN 2006 SERVICE BULLETIN RECALL 06-009 - CODE OPDS WHICH IS FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD REPAIR DONE ACCORDING TO HONDA 3/31/2010 - 10 YEAR WARRANTY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT 89000 ODOMETER ON 10/11/2012. APPROX. 6 MONTHS AGO THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTACTED HONDA WITH NO ASSISTANCE AS THEY SAID THERE IS A 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON THIS RECALL. YESTERDAY I STARTED BY GETTING ASSISTANCE FROM EMILY, BRIANA, NICOLE AND ALEXIS AT HONDA - CASE NO. N012015-05-2002159 AND TO EXPECT A CALL FROM HONDA. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON JAMES (NO ID OR LAST NAME) REGIONAL CASE MANAGER. HE INFORMED ME THAT HE COULD NOT ASSIST ME. 1. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. 2. I AM NOT A LOYAL HONDA OWNER AS I HAVE NOT BOUGHT ANOTHER HONDA. 3. NO REPAIRS THROUGH HONDA. 4. THE CAR IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD. I INFORMED HIM TO CHECK ANOTHER RECALL WHICH SUPERCEDES THE PREVIOUS RECALL AND DATED 3/14/2006. HE INFORMED ME TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AT MY EXPENSE AT HONDA AND THE CASE IS CLOSED. I TOLD HIM THAT THIS WAS A FAULT WITH HONDA AND IT IS NOT 10 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL AND I FEAR DRIVING MY ONLY CAR WITH AN ENORMOUS PROBLEM IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT - SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS AND AN ENORMOUS DANGER TO ME AND MY GRANDCHILDREN. HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NOT HIS OR HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY. PLEASE HELP ME. I NEED HONDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH MY HONDA'S SEAT BELT STAYING LOCKED IN. I'VE ALSO HAVE THE SRS LIGHT ON AFTER A BATTERY CHANGE. I FIGURED OUT HOW TO RESET IT BUT IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO HONDA AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR IS "NOT AFFECTED" BY ANY RECALLS...I EXPLAINED THE SEAT BELTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY. THEY WANTED 125.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS THE SEAT BELT AND WHAT THE CODE IS IF IT ISN'T THE SEAT BELT I HAVE TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND 800.00.TO GET THE AIRBAGS TO WORK FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY,.I EVEN TRIED GOING BACK TO A DIFFERENT SERVICE ADVISER. READING ONLINE I SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SRS FAILURE AND SOME SUSPECT THE CAUSE RELATES TO BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE! APPEARS TO BE A CONVENIENT FAILURE TO STATE WHATEVER THEY WANT AND GET THE OWNER TO PAY! RECENTLY, HONDA HAS HAD TO RECALL AIRBAGS. MAYBE IT'S A BLESSING THAT PEOPLE'S AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN RENDERED USELESS SINCE THEY BLOW UP AND HAVE KILLED PEOPLE!! I HOPE THE NHTSA REALIZES HOW MANY PEOPLES AIRBAGS HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN WORKING! WELL SURPRISE, MY CAR ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE LATEST AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. I AM MOST DISSATISFIED WITH HONDA THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND DON'T SEEM TO CARE IF THEY LOSE CUSTOMERS (BY DEATH OR OTHERWISE). I TRIED CALLING THERE 800 NUMBER SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL THEY WERE RUDE AND CONDESCENDING. THIS WAS MY 3RD HONDA AND MY LAST. THE RECALL EVEN STATES THERE IS NOT TO BE A CHARGE TO CHECK THIS HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT WITHOUT ME PAYING THERE FEE! DON'T CARE THE NHTSA AND HONDA'S OWN RECALL NOTICE IS IRRELEVANT TO THEM. IN LIGHT OF THE LATEST ISSUES WITH AIRBAGS I THINK I WILL WRITE AN EDITORIAL FOR THE LOCAL NEWS OR MAYBE CALL THE LOCAL TELEVISION STATION TO HIGHLIGHT THIS ISSUE ONGOING BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

Oct 29, 2020

I BOUGHT A HONDA ACCORD FROM MY NIEGHBOOR FOR 900 DOLLARS AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE DID A INSPECTION AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME IS TOTALLY ROTTED OUT BUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS STILL INTACT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND REPLACEMENT COSTS OVER 1,200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE CAR HAS OVER 228,000 MILES ON IT BUT THE MECHANIC SAID THAT ITS HANGING ON BY A TREAD AND OVERTIME THE SUSPENSION COULD COLLAPSE LEADING TO A CRASH

Oct 13, 2018

MY CAR PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME IS RUSTED OUT. I JUST REPLACED TIRES AND NOW THE CAR IS UNABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERN. I FOUND OUT THIS WHEN MY CAR WAS VIBRATE A LOT DURING ON THE ROAD. WHEN I COME HOME, I JACKED UP THE CAR AND INSPECTED THE WHEEL AND FRONT CHASSIS. I SAW THE RUST IS VERY BAD, IT CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICTURES I SUBMIT BELOW. THE SUBFRAME BASICALLY SEPARATED, IT WILL CAUSE ANOTHER THOUSAND OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE FRAME. MECHANICS TOLL ME THAT THE SUBFRAME SHOULD NOT BE RUST LIKE THAT. IT IS THE BASIC INTEGRITY OF THE CAR SAFETY FOR ANY CAR, IT SHOULD LAST A LIFE TIME OF THE CAR AS LONG AS YOU OWN IT. I AM HOPE THAT HONDA SHOULD RECALL THIS RUST ISSUE. IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO OWNED AN OLD CAR AND TRY TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD.

HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE $1000 TO REPLACE THE UNIT, ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS THAT THE COMPONENT IS AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR ABOUT $325, AND REQUIRES ABOUT AN HOUR OF LABOR TO INSTALL. THIS SEEMS TO US TO BE A PRETTY FUNDAMENTAL SAFETY ISSUE, AND THIS COMPONENT SHOULD BE ENGINEERED TO LAST WELL BEYOND THE ANTICIPATED LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I SPOKE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE BY THE NAME OF [XXX] FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. ON JUNE 12, 2005 ABOUT AN SRS RELATED PROBLEM RELATING TO THEIR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 06-009 DATED FEBRUARY 5, 2008. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY HAS ALREADY EXPIRED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD EVEN IF THE MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 124,000 MILES. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED FROM A PRIVATE PARTY BACK IN 2004. SINCE THESE MODELS CAME WITHOUT AN AIR CONDITIONING UNIT, I HAD ONE INSTALLED THE SAME YEAR (2004) AT THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP NEAR OUR PLACE OF RESIDENCE. BECAUSE OF THIS SERVICE, THEY SHOULD HAVE UPDATED THE OWNERSHIP RECORD FOR THIS VEHICLE TO REFLECT MY NAME AS THE NEW OWNER. WHEN THIS BULLETIN CAME OUT, HONDA FAILED TO FURNISH ME A COPY OF THE TSB SINCE I ONLY FOUND OUT FROM THEM ON JUNE 25, 2012 THAT THE SAID VEHICLE WAS STILL REGISTERED WITH THE FIRST OWNER. WHEN THE PROBLEM ABOUT THE SRS UNIT OCCURRED WHICH WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE BULLETIN THEY RELEASED ON FEBRUARY 5, 2008 THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE BULLETIN ANYMORE AND EVEN TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED, EVEN IF THE BULLETIN SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THE VEHICLES AFFECTED INCLUDED "2000-2001 HONDA ACCORD 2-DR AND 4-DR: ALL WITH OPDS". I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST FRIDAY, 6/22/2012 WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THIS TSB EVER EXISTED AND THEY WERE CHARGING ME A SUBSTANTIAL FEE TO GET IT FIXED EVEN THOUGH IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THEM WITHOUT COST TO ME. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THEY FAILED TO FURNISH ME A COPY OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND NOW THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE THEY WILL NOT HONOR THAT SERVICE BULLETIN. I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO GET FIXED EVEN WITHOUT THIS PROBLEM HAD I RECEIVED THIS BULLETIN ON TIME.

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE START TO DEVELOPING A PROBLEM DURING THE LAST SEVRERAL MONTHS. WHEN IT IS STARTED FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING AFTER PARKED OVERNIGHT, THE THROTTLE OF THE CAR FEELS STUCKED. I HAVE TO PRESS THE THROTTLE REALLY HARD TO GET RID OF THE STUCK, BY DOING SO, THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELARATE ABSURDLY BECAUSE OF THE HARD PRESSING ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL(I.E., AT FIRST IT IS STUCKED, WHEN YOU PUSH THE THROTTLE PEDAL REALLY HARD, THE THROTTLE WILL GET LOOSE SUDDENLY AND THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ACCELERATE ABSURDLY)

I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED CAR FROM DUBLIN HONDA WITH A LITTLE OVER 7K MILES, AROUND THE 12TH OF AUGUST 2001. MY CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS BETWEEN 1/4-1/8 TANK. I ALSO NOTICED A BLACK FLAP HANGING UNDER MY CAR AND A LOT OF DUCT TAPE WRAPPED AROUND THE FRONT AXEL AND CAUGHT ON THE TIRES. IT TOOK THREE TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY FINALLY REMOVED THE FUEL TANK AND FOUND DAMAGE FUEL TANK DAMAGE AND DAMAGE UNDER FUEL PUMP. THEY SAID BUT DID NOT PUT IN WRITING THAT THERE WAS A PATCH ON AN AREA OF THE DAMAGE. THEY ASKED ME WHAT I HAD HIT, WHICH I HADN'T HIT AS THERE WAS A PATCH REPAIR IN THE AREA. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING. THEREFORE HONDA SOLD ME A CAR THAT WAS DAMAGED AND DID NOT REPORT THIS TO ME. WHAT I REALLY WANT IS HONDA TO REPLACE MY CAR WITH A NEW ONE. I KNOW THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL A DAMAGED CAR WITHOUT THE PURCHASERS NOTIFIED OF ANY DEFECTS, ETC. AND I WAS NOT. MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING 75 MILES AND HOUR ON A VERY BUSY FREEWAY AND THEREFORE I COULD NOT GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND HAD TOO MANY NEAR MISSES FROM OTHER CARS TO WANT TO REMEMBER. I THOUGHT AT WHAT POINT THAT I WAS GOING TO DIE OUT THERE. I COULD SEE THE HEADLINES. "HOSPICE NURSE DIES ON FREEWAY AFTER VISITING PATIENT." *JB

I YELLED FOR MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN TO GET OUT!. THE POWER SLIDING DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN B/C I WAS IN GEAR (REVERSE). IN MANUAL MODE THEY WERE TOO DIFFICULT FOR THE CHILDREN TO GET OPEN. A CAR WAS COMING DOWN THE HILL OUT OF CONTROL DIRECTLY TOWARDS US. WE REALLY DID SEE OUR LIVES FLASH BEFORE OUR EYES. LUCKLILY THE CAR WAS ABLE TO SQUEEZE BY THE FRONT OF US. I PUT IT IN PARK AND THE KIDS JUMPED OUT AS I SLOWLY SLID FORWARD. AFTER THEY WERE CLEAR OF THE VAN, I PUT IT IN REVERSE, PUT SOME GAS TO IT AND SLID AROUND AND WAS ABLE TO GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. I DID NOT REALIZE BEFORE BUYING THIS VAN THAT THE POWER DOORS WERE DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES ON OTHER MAKES OF VANS. MOST OF THEM OPEN EASILY MANUALLY. PLEASE CONSIDER PURSUING A CHANGE.

THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT SERVICED THE VEHICLE TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. THIS FROM A CAR THAT I HAD PURCHASED SIX WEEKS EARLIER.

TRANSMISSION IN 2000 HONDA ACCORD WAS DIAGNOSED BY TWO MECHANICS (INDEPENDENT AND HONDA DEALER) AS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT QUOTED AT OVER $3800. SYMPTOMS INCLUDED: GEAR SHIFT SLIPPAGE, D4 INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHING, DELAYED GEAR ENGAGEMENT, ERRATIC AND HARSH SHIFTING RESULTING IN THE CAR LURCHING FORWARD WHILE IN DRIVE, ATF LEAK, ERRATIC ACCELERATION, AND THE LEFT DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSED WITH EXCESSIVE PLAY. CAR HAD BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, KEEPING ALL FLUID LEVELS MONITORED AND IN CHECK WITH ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. AFTER CALLING HONDA AMERICA, I WAS TOLD THAT "DUE TO AGE" THE "COMPANY'S POSITION" WAS THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE OF ANY KIND DESPITE PREVIOUS REPORTS OF THE TRANSMISSION IN 2000 ACCORDS AS BEING A KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S ERROR/FAULTY PRODUCTION. HONDA ADMITTED ERROR ON THE ISSUE BUT REMAINED FIRM THAT THEY WOULD NOT SUPPORT RESOLUTION. AM LEFT WITH VEHICLE IN UNDRIVABLE CONDITION THAT IS UNSAFE ON THE ROAD DUE TO ERRATIC TRANSMISSION BEHAVIOR. AT ONE POINT, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY, NEARLY HITTING A PEDESTRIAN. REQUEST NHTSA FOLLOW-UP AND INVESTIGATION OF ONGOING TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES, ENCOURAGING CONSUMER RESOLUTION OPTIONS FOR HONDA OWNERS. RESOLUTION SHOULD NOT BE LIMITED TO AGE OF VEHICLE WHEN SAFETY OF CONSUMERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ARE AT HAND. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE ROAD WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS. HAD I BEEN AWARE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE, I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED MY HONDA. THANK YOU! *KB

THIS IS A REPORT OF AN INCIDENT OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE WHICH IS RELATED TO AN ACCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED ON MARCH 9, 2011. THE VEHICLE INVOLVED IS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE. THE DRIVER WAS REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE BACKWARD VERY FAST. THE DRIVER STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND TRIED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL BUT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO DRIVE AND LURCHED FORWARD AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED UNCONTROLLABLY ACROSS THE SIDEWALK, THREE(3) LANES OF TRAFFIC, THROUGH A LAWN WHERE IT FIRST STRUCK A BRICK BUILDING, REMOVED A 30-INCH LANDSCAPE BOULDER, AND THEN STRUCK A SECOND BUILDING WHICH STOPPED IT, TRAVELING OVER 200 FEET BEFORE COMING TO A HALT IN A PUBLIC ALLEY. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN ONLY A FEW SECONDS AND THE DRIVER COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BRAKES DID NOT HELP. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT THE DRIVER WAS NOT HIT OR KILLED GOING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY.

DISCONCERTING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC SINCE I CAN'T VERIFY MY ACTUAL SPEED DUE TO THE SLOW TO RESPOND AND INACCURATE SPEEDOMETER UNIT READOUT. THIS LEADS TO OVERACCELERATING OR OVERDECCELERATING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC IN AN ATTEMPT TO HOLD LOCAL SPEED ZONE LAWS. VERIFIED BY A PGM TEST AT LOCAL DEALER. NO FIX FOR THE SPEEDOMETER HEAD UNIT FOR NOW...TOLD BY HONDA CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO WAIT FOR A POSSIBLE FIX IN NOVEMBER 2000. THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING, NOT SURE WHY. FINALLY, WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC MANY TIMES WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND VERY QUICKLY OR EVEN FALLS FLAT FOR A SECOND BEFORE IT GOES, PRETTY DISCONCERTING AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY AT INTERSECTIONS.

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON FOR MANY MONTHS. GOOGLE SHOWS THIS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, WHICH HAS TRIGGERED A VERY WIDE RANGE OF RESPONSES FROM HONDA. THIS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL CAR GIVEN TIMELY COMPLETION OF ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. BUT THE SRS LIGHT PROBLEM, SINCE IT INVOLVES THE SAFETY RESTRAINING SYSTEMS, SHOULD BE GUARANTEED FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. BUT, GIVEN THE VARIOUS WAYS PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE HAVE BEEN TREATED, I AM RELUCTANT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO HONDA. IT MAY ONLY REQUIRE A RESET FOR THE LIGHT, WHICH SHOULD COST NOTHING. BUT CHARGES FOR A DIAGNOSIS ARE IN THE $70-100 RANGE. THEN, IF THERE IS ACTUALLY A PROBLEM WITH SAFETY, FIXES HAVE COST IN A RANGE OF $600-1500. THE WHOLE SITUATION IS ABSURD.

SURGE ON ACCELERATION. FROM A COLD START MY CAR EXCELS NORMALLY. IF MAKE A STOP FOR A FEW MINUTES OR A COUPLE OF HOURS GET IN AND IT ACCELERATES TO ABOUT 20-25MPH AND DIES. IF I HOLD THE PEDAL IT WILL ACCEL AFTER A FEW SECOND, IF I PUMP THE PEDAL A COUPLE OF TIME IT WILL ACCEL. CRUISING AT 65+ I CAN FEEL A SLIGHT JERKING. THIS ALL STARTED AFTER GETTING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CODE PO131 TO REPLACE THE PRIMARY O2 SENSOR. A NEW SENSOR WAS THE OEM EQUIVALENT FROM AUTOZONE. IF I DISCONNECT THE O2 SENSOR THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS 228,000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION GO OUT TWICE IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. EACH TIME, THE GEARS START CLUNKING WHILE SHIFTING AND SHORTLY AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILS AND IS COMPLETELY USELESS. CURRENTLY, MY CAR WILL REV UP LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL AND THEN SPONTANEOUSLY SLAM INTO GEAR AND SLIP BACK INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN WHICH HAS, AGAIN, RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO MAKE THE ISSUE BETTER. *TR

Dec 20, 2010

IN MARCH OF 2008, MY 2000 ACCORD SE HONDA'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 122,206 MILES; I HAD TO PAY FOR A REBUILT REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION, TODAY I WAS INFORMED THAT I WILL NEED YET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION BY HONDA, THAT MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE REPAIR IS COMPLETED, AND THAT THE THREE-YEAR OR 36,000-MILE WARRANTY WILL ONLY EXTEND AS FAR AS THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY (THAT IS ROUGHLY ANOTHER 15,000 MILES OR UNTIL MARCH 2012). THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION ONLY FUNCTIONED FOR LESS THAN 21000 MILES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL'S POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF A TRANSMISSION. EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, I EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN AS I HAVE TO COMMUTE 44 MILES A DAY TO WORK. CLEARLY, IF THE SECOND IDENTICAL FAILURE HAPPENED IN SO SHORT A TIME, THERE IS A SERIOUS FLAW---ONE WITH POTENTIALLY LETHAL CONSEQUENCES THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE 4TH TIME. FIRST TIME @ 60,000 MILES, THAN 80,000 MILES, THAN 140,000 MILES. HONDA SUCKS... ALL THEY TELL ME NOW IS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY THE 2000 ACCORDS HAVE MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR

Nov 19, 2010

HONDA HAD SUPPOSEDLY UNDER A HIDDEN WARRANTY SWAPPED OUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED THE FIRST TIME,IDENTICAL PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN D4 ON THE DASH STARTS BLINKING AND I COULD ONLY DRIVE TO 3RD GEAR. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART ITS OK UNTIL I DRIVE FOR A FEW MINUTES. RANDOMLY THE CAR WILL REV BUT THE CAR WON'T GO FORWARD UNTIL IT JERKS VIOLENTLY AND CATCHES GEAR. NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY WILL NOT UPHOLD THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE MY MILEAGE WAS OVER. TECHNICALLY AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR IN THE SAME AMOUNT MILEAGE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED BUT THEY TOLD ME FROM THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR I AM OVER THE MILEAGE. *TR

I HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2000 AND AFTER 3 YEARS OF DRIVING I NOTICED A SLIPPING FEELING AS I ACCELERATED. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION AND HE SUGGESTED DOING A FULL FLUSH. I HAVE DONE SEVERAL FLUSHES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS AND MY PROBLEM HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. THIS PROBLEM IS A MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AND I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL YEARS AGO! *TR

HE LOOKED IN UNDER MY HONDA AND TOLD ME THAT MY STRUTS ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK ARE BAD AND NEED REPLACING. IT'S GOTTEN A LOT WORSE, FLOATING OVER BUMPS, HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME KEEPING IT UNDER CONTROL WHILE TURNING AROUND ANY TYPE OF CORNER AND IF I HAPPEN TO NOT SEE ANY KIND OF BUMP OR WHOLE IN THE ROAD, IT SOUNDS AS IF MY CAR IS GOING TO FALL APART. I HAVE TAKEN EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF MY ACCORD, BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR ALL NEW STRUTS!!

THE VEHICLE HANDLING IS POOR WHEN MAKING SUDDEN TURNS (AVOIDANCE MANEUVERS). WHEN I SPOKE TO MY LOCAL DEALER, THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL AND EVERYTHING METAL RUSTS IN THIS AREA (SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN). HE GAVE ME A NUMBER FOR SOME HONDA CARE CENTER, BUT AFTER NAVIGATING THROUGH THE AUTOMATED PHONE SYSTEM I FOUND OUT THE CENTER WAS NOT OPEN AT THE TIME I CALLED...FRUSTRATING. UPON EXAMINING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IT IS APPARENT THE FRAME (ENGINE CRADLE OR SUB FRAME) WHERE THE STABILIZER BAR MOUNTS TO THE FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS TOTALLY RUSTED THROUGH, ALLOWING THE STABILIZER BAR TO MOVE A GREAT AMOUNT ONLY TO BE HELD UP BY THE SWAY BAR LINK PIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE SWAY BAR LINK PIN TERMINATION COMES LOOSE OR BREAKS, THE SWAY BAR WILL DROP AND DRAG ON THE PAVEMENT, POSSIBLY CATAPULTING THE CAR.

May 18, 2019

WHILE BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR BRAKE WORK, THE STAFF NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT SUBFRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH, WAS BROKEN, AND WAS LIKELY PUTTING STRESS ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING. FIVE DAYS LATER, I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE OUT-OF-TOWN USER CAR SALES/SERVICE BUSINESS FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED AND THEY CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM, TRACING IT TO RUNOFF FROM CONDENSATION OVER THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR DIRECTLY ON TO THE CORRODED AREA. BECAUSE OF THE PRE-EXISTING NATURE OF THE PROBLEM, THE USED CAR SALESMAN IS WILLING TO PAY 50% OF THE COST, BUT PARTS (EVEN WITH THE USE OF A RUST-FREE USED SUBFRAME) AND LABOR TOTAL COST IS $1,200. *TR

RIGHT SIDE SUB-FRAME, REAR BEAM, K FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH FROM A/C DRAIN LINE INSTALLED TO DRAIN DIRECTLY ONTO THE SUBFRAME. THIS CAUSES THE STEERING TO FLEX SUBSTANTIALLY AND ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC COULD CAUSE THE CAR STEERING TO FAIL CATASTROPHICALLY OR COULD ALLOW THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR. ANTI-SWAY BAR IS COMPLETELY BROKEN AWAY FROM THE FRAME. FOUND BY MECHANIC CHECKING MY CAR TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING AND CORNERING.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN HEARD CLUNK FROM PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL. JACKED UP CAR, PULLED WHEEL AND FOUND SUB FRAME HAD ROTTED THROUGH. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION, AS THE CAR COULD HAVE LOST STEERING CONTROL AND HAVE BEEN IN/CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A 2000 ACCORD AND HAVE SEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND MANY OTHER ACCORD VEHICLES ( 1999-2002) WITH THE SAME CONDITION. HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND REPLACE THE SUB FRAMES ON THE AFFECTED ACCORD VEHICLES.

DEAR NHTSA: I AM WRITING ABOUT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WHICH HAD AN ACCIDENT ON MAY 22ND, 2010. I WAS DRIVING IN DRY CONDITIONS ALONG I-85 NORTH IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, GEORGIA WHEN THE LEFT REAR TIRE SUDDENLY BLEW OUT CAUSING MY CAR TO FLIP AND ROLL OVER. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE BLOWOUT. I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS BRIEFLY AND MY NECK WAS SEVERELY BROKEN. I HAD TO HAVE AN OPERATION AND WILL BE OUT OF WORK FOR AT LEAST THREE MONTHS. MY SON WAS INJURED BUT NOT AS SEVERELY AS ME, WITH MANY CUTS ON HIS FACE AND EAR. TWO OTHER OCCUPANTS RECEIVED MANY BRUISES AND CUTS ON ARMS, LEGS AND FACES. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THERE ARE TWO ISSUES THAT SEEM TO POINT TO DEFECTS IN THE CAR. THE FIRST IS THAT THE ROOF COLLAPSED SO MUCH THAT IT HIT MY HEAD AND ALMOST KILLED ME. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT NONE OF THE FOUR AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WITH SO MUCH DAMAGE TO THE CAR AS IT ROLLED OVER AND CRUSHED THE ROOF, THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR INVESTIGATING THIS CAR TO SEE IF FEDERAL GUIDELINES WERE VIOLATED. *TR

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A CONDITION THAT IS POTENTIALLY SO DANGEROUS CAN BE "JUST NORMAL". ALSO, MY SRS INDICATOR HAS COME ON FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON AND I EXPLAINED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP, AFTER LOOKING AT THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS WEBSITE, AND THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE ME PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO SEE IF THIS WAS TRUE OR NOT.

MECHANIC STATED THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE INJURIES/DEATH. CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA ON 7-15-15 TO GET A GOODWILL REPAIR SINCE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS AS A RESULT OF MANUFACTURE DEFECT. AMAL, THE REPRESENTATIVE IN THE PRODUCT CONCERNS DEPARTMENT STATED THAT IT IS HONDA'S POLICY NOT TO ISSUE GOODWILL SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IS 15 YEARS OLD. HONDA - NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD BRAND NEW CARS!!! YOUR REPUTATION HAS BEEN TO PRODUCE SAFE, DEPENDABLE VEHICLES, BUT YOUR LACK OF ACTUAL "CUSTOMER SUPPORT" SHOWS OTHERWISE. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT IN 2012 THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO THE PUBLIC'S ATTENTION INCLUDING THE SAFETY REGULATORS, HTTP://WWW.NEWSNET5.COM/NEWS/LOCAL-NEWS/INVESTIGATIONS/CENTER-FOR-AUTO-SAFETY-REQUESTING-RECALL-OF-1-5-MILLION-HONDA-ACCORDS-FOR-RUST-ISSUE-IN-SUB-FRAME.

I HAVE BEEN MAINTAINING IT PER THE SPECIFICATIONS STIPULATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL, AND GETTING IT SERVICED FROM HONDA SERVICE CENTERS ONLY. I HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF UN-PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE FROM HONDA'S DEALERSHIPS AND AMERICAN HONDA. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE IT WAS TIME TO GET MY MAJOR SERVICE DONE I TOOK IT TO LARRY HOPKINS HONDA AND SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO CHECK THE ENGINE LIGHT. THEY DIDN'T CHECK ANYTHING AND SAID THAT EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. SINCE THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON I HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK ANOTHER TIME TO GET IT CHECKED BY PAYING A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF A $150 WHICH I COULD HAVE SAVED HAD THEY CHECKED IT THE FIRST TIME. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A STUCK THERMOSTAT, CODE P1486, AND REPLACED IT, CHARGING ME $241 MOSTLY LABOR CHARGE. AFTER A WEEK THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND WHEN I CALLED LARRY HOPKINS I WAS INFORMED THAT ECU NEEDED REPLACEMENT, COSTING $960, AND THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSURE ME THAT IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, EVEN AFTER SPENDING MORE THAN $1250. RECENTLY, I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY ADVISED ME TO GET ANOTHER DIAGNOSTICS DONE AT ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS BEFORE THEY COULD HELP ME. I GOT THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED, AND AFTER PAYING $129 THE SAME CODE P1486 WAS FOUND AND WAS INFORMED THAT ECU WAS INDEED A WEAR AND TEAR PART. HOWEVER. I DISAGREED, AND HAVE CHECKED WITH VARIOUS TECHNICIANS WHO DISAGREED THAT ECU WAS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM, AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AN ECUS GOING BAD AFTER A FEW YEARS OF USAGE. *AK

OUR SON WAS IN A CENTURY 44164ELM CAR SEAT SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER (MY WIFE). THE METAL BUCKLE THAT IS USED TO ADJUST THE SEAT BELT SIZE (IN THE BACK) SHEARED FROM THE PLASTIC DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT. AS A RESULT THE UPPER PART OF OUR SON'S BODY BECAME A PROJECTILE AND THE SEAT BELT DID NOT KEEP HIM IN THE CAR SEAT. OUR SON'S HEAD LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE SEAT REST IN FRONT HIM. DUE TO THE IMPACT HE SUFFERED A SKULL FRACTURE, AND FORTUNATELY EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW. I HAVE THE CAR SEAT SAVED IF CENTURY WANTS TO SEE IT. IN MY OPINION IT SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE THIS IS UNSAFE.

My 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 has a few issues: 1. Front/rear struts, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links. This has caused my car to fail safety tests for the last 5 years. I have received an itemized estimate for these issues from a mechanic. 2. Electrical. The front instrument panel is not working properly. I can not touch any buttons on the dash or the lights on the panel will go off completely. Both of these are a huge safety issue and it is not safe to drive! No lights or warning of any kind regarding these issues!

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD V6 3.0 VTEC ENGINE IS HAVING SOME ISSUES AFTER IT HEATS UP WHEN I START IT WOULD DO SOME ERRATIC RPM CHANGES ON IDLE AND THEN STALL. IF I MANAGE TO GET IT MOVING DESPITE RPM DROPS, IT RUNS GREAT AND WOULD NOT STALL AGAIN. ALSO, IF I LEAVE IT FOR A WHILE (LIKE 15 MINUTES) AND THEN COME BACK, IT USUALLY STARTS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT WITH PCM AND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR THE ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH ETHANOL HAVING A LOWER BOILING POINT THAN TRADITIONAL GAS. THIS CAUSES IT TO VAPORIZE ON THE FUEL RAIL WHEN THE CAR'S WARM, BUT NO LONG PUMPING GAS BECAUSE IT'S OFF. WHEN YOU GO TO RE-START THE CAR, INSTEAD OF LIQUID GAS, YOU ARE SPURTING ON FUMES ON THE RAIL. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS FIXED ON MY CAR YET I'VE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND SEVERAL ARTICLES ONLINE AND REFERS TO THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM I'VE HAD MY CAR SERVICE WITH A TUNE-UP OIL CHANGE AND A FUEL INDUCTION SERVICE I'VE ALSO REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR IT IS STILL GIVING ME ISSUES I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THERE IS VALIDITY TO MY CLAIM.

I BOUGHT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD 4CYL. ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO FROM AN OWNER. DROVE PERFECT FOR THE FIRST WEEK. THEN ONE MORNING MY BRAKE PEDAL GOT REALLY SOFT. AFTER CHECKING ALL FLUIDS AND LEAKS FOUND OUT THAT MY BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A SMALL SHOP TO GET MY BRAKE LINES REPLACED. I THEN GOT A CALL A FEW DAYS LATER SAYING I SHOULD GO DOWN AND CHECK SOMETHING THEY NOTICED ON MY CAR. TURNS OUT THE PASSENGER SUBFRAME IS RUSTED AND ROTTED OUT. EVERYTHING ELSE UNDERNEATH THE CAR IS CLEAN. THE MECHANIC SAID IT'S WEIRD THAT ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME IS RUSTED. HE TOLD ME IT COULD BREAK APART ANYTIME. BEING THAT IT'S NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE I HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED NOW. THE COST IS GOING TO BE ABOUT $1200 WITH LABOR. WHEN I GOT HOME I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DO ON THEIR HONDA ACCORDS. HONDA SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS BEING IT'S A STRUCTURAL COMPONENT TO CAR AND SAFETY ISSUE. HOPEFULLY HONDA WILL RECALL THIS SUBFRAME PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE ME LATER. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, THROUGH THIS LETTER, I WISH TO INFORM YOU OF MY DISAGREEMENT WITH THE EVALUATION OF THE AIR BAGS IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY TO PROTECT ME. WHEN I ADDRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE DALTON AGENCY, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER, MANUEL PEZ NAVARRO AND THE HEAD OF MECHANICS, JORGE CARDENAS ONLY DO OIL CHANGE AND FILTERS. THEY ADVISED IF I WANTED TO KNOW WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, THAT I SHOULD PAY A TECHNICIAN $600.00 PESOS TO CONNECT A SCANNER TO MY CAR TO SEE IF THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE SYSTEM, AN ERROR THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN THE CAR WAS ASSEMBLED. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE FACTORY INVOICE FOR MY AUTO SPECIFIES THAT IT HAS AIR BAGS AT THE HIGHEST SECURITY LEVEL. THAT IS WHY I?VE TAKEN MY CAR TO BE SERVICE REGULARLY AT THE DALTON AGENCY TO KEEP ALL WARRANTIES IN PLACE. I PLACED MY TRUST IN THE AGENCY, IN THE HONDA COMPANY AND IN THE GLOBAL BRAND AND FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN MISLED ABOUT SERVICE AND QUALITY. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED BY THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM INDIVIDUAL LIVES. THE TRAUMA, INJURY AND REHABILITATION AFTER THE ACCIDENT HAS BEEN TERRIBLE, LEAST HAVING TO DEAL WITH YOU HAS CAUSED UNNECESSARY FRUSTRATION AND FEAR. KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAG SITUATION HAS BEEN CALLED A SIMPLE MISTAKE OR ACCIDENT DOES NOT HELP MY DILEMMA. LUCKILY I AM ALIVE TODAY, BUT A FEW CENTIMETERS COULD HAVE MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE AND CAUSED A TRAGIC STORY. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME COULD HAVE HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE, ESPECIALLY SOMEONE HAVING A HARD TIME IN LIFE. PLEASE CONSIDER TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND DO THE ?RIGHT THING?.

I FEAR MY VEHICLE IS BEING DENIED A RECALL DUE TO IT BY HONDA. MY VEHICLE FAILED ITS ANNUAL EMISSIONS TEST ON AUG. 22. THE STATE SENT ME A NOTICE INFORMING ME THAT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD WAS PART OF A RECALL CLASS IN 2004 THAT WAS CONNECTED TO AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM. I RECEIVED NO ALERT FROM HONDA ABOUT SUCH A RECALL. WHEN I ASKED HONDA ABOUT IT THIS WEEK, THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL CLASS. AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD DETERMINE THIS BY MY CAR'S VIN -- THAT THE VIN INDICATED IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL CLASS. SO I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE RECALL. BASED ON MY REVIEW OF YOUR "2004 ANNUAL SUMMARY OF EMISSION RELATED RECALL" (HTTP://WWW.EPA.GOV/OTAQ/CERT/RECALL/420B05022.PDF), IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS PART OF THE CLASS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

I BOUGHT A HONDA ACCORD WITH 162,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS TOLD ALL IT NEEDED WAS BRAKES AND ROTORS. WHEN I WAS REPLACING THE BRAKES AND ROTOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE I INSPECTED ALL OTHER PARTS AS WELL AND THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE BIG PROBLEM. THE SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED OUT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND THAT HONDA RECOGNIZES THIS BUT FAILS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE AIR CONDITION DRAIN IS POSITIONED SO THAT IT IS CONSTANTLY DRIPPING ON TO THAT PART OF THE SUB FRAME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL I HAD THE PART REPLACED. I RESEARCHED THE PRICE AND LABOR FOR THE PART : PART: $600+ HONDA GARAGE. LABOR: $500+ HONDA GARAGE. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AS OTHER HONORABLE COMPANIES HAVE. *TR

I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 35 MPH DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD 2000 V6 ON JULY 13, 2013 APPROXIMATELY @ 2.00 PM EST. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN INCREASING THE SPEED TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. SHOCKED BY THE RANDOM ACCELERATION, I APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AFTER STOMPING ON THE PEDAL IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK . THEREFORE IN ORDER TO AVOID GOING TOWARDS THE TRAFFIC I DECIDED TO DRIVE INTO THE WOODS ON TO MY RIGHT SIDE. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP INSIDE A WOODED AREA 45 YARDS FROM THE EDGE OF THE RIGHT LANE KNOCKING OFF ALL THE TREES ON ITS WAY. IT DEPLOYED BOTH AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DAMAGED ( TOTALED). THERE WAS NO INJURIES TO ME OR ANY OTHERS IN THIS CRASH. I FIRMLY BELIEVE & SUSPECT THERE WAS SOME MALFUNCTION IN THE VEHICLE'S SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM THAT RESULTED IN THIS MISHAP.

2000 V6 HONDA ACCORD DIED WITHOUT WARNING AT A STOPLIGHT AND SINCE THEN IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT OVER SHORTER AND SHORTER TIME PERIODS/DISTANCES. DURING THE FIRST FEW SEVERAL OCCURRENCES LIKE THIS IT JUST DIED EITHER WHILE STOPPED OR WHILE RUNNING BUT COULD BE RE-STARTED BY PUTTING CAR INTO PARK GEAR AND RE-STARTING. NO WARNING, NO SPUTTERING, NO SHAKING AND SO ON PRIOR TO ANY OF THE DYING. THE ONLY INDICATION IT HAS DIED IS THE DASH PANEL INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD ALL BE ON AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS JUST BEING STARTED. DURING RE-START THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS WOULD BE LIT LIKE THEY SHOULD BE JUST PRIOR TO STARTING. NOW AS OF YESTERDAY THE PATTERN HAS CHANGED TO STILL DIES AND THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS COME ON BUT WHEN YOU SHIFT TO PARK AND THEN TRY TO RE-START NONE OF THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS COME ON AND ALL YOU HEAR IS THE CRANKING OF THE ENGINE BUT NOT STARTING. EVENTUALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES (1-5 MINUTES) OF BEING OFF YOU COULD THEN RE-START THE CAR AND THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS WOULD LIGHT UP PRIOR TO THE RE-START LIKE THEY SHOULD. UNFORTUNATELY TOWARD THE END OF YESTERDAY THAT PATTERN AGAIN CHANGED TO WHERE THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON DURING THE ATTEMPT TO RE-START EVEN AFTER 40 MINUTES. I CALLED HONDA ON 06/18/2013 AND SPOKE TO AN AGENT AND TOLD HER THAT I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL FOR DEALING WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH UNDER RECALL#:36754 IN THE USA AND ALSO ANOTHER IN CANADA FOR THE IDENTICAL ISSUE MY ACCORD IS DEMONSTRATING. HONDA SEEMS TO WANT TO HID BEHIND THE IDEA THAT IF MY VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL THEN I AM OUT OF LUCK. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING DRIVING CONDITION THE CAR DIES WHILE MOVING WITHOUT WARNING. I AM SURE THEY ARE OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE (WEB IS FULL OF OWNERS DECREEING THIS ISSUE) THAT HAVE JUST HAD CAR REPAIRED BUT NEVER FILED REPORT HERE TO BRING ISSUE TO YOUR ORGANIZATION'S ATTENTION. *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING SPACE AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 45 MINS (APPROX. 20 MILES). WHEN I WAS READY PARK THE CAR AND SWITCH OFF THE IGNITION, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WAY TOO FAST AND HIT THE BUILDING IN FRONT. I WAS DRIVING INTO THE PARKING SPACE AT LESS THAN AROUND 10 MPH AS I HAD TO MAKE 3 TURNS WITHIN 100 FEET BEFORE COMING INTO VACANT PARKING SPACE. MY LEG WAS ALSO IN THE BREAK PEDAL AS I MADE THOSE TURNS AFTER GETTING INTO THE PRIVATE PROPERTY FROM IL RTE 83. I CAN DEFINITELY CONFIRM THAT MY LEG WAS NOT IN GAS PEDAL AS MY RIGHT LEG WAS ON THE BREAK PEDAL TO MAKE THOSE TURNS AND STOP THE CAR IN THE PARKING SPACE. IT ALL HAPPENED IN THE MATTER OF FEW SECONDS AND THERE WAS NO TIME TO REACT. THE CAR CAME TO HALT ONLY AFTER HITTING THE BUILDING. BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AS SOON AS THE CAR HIT THE BUILDING AND THERE WAS HEAVE SMOKE INSIDE THE CAR. IT WAS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE BY LOOKING AT THE DAMAGE THE SPEED AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT LOOKS TO BE AROUND 50 MPH. IT WAS A RELATIVELY HIGHER CURB IN FRONT AND THE BUILDING WAS JUST 6 - 8 FEET AWAY FROM THE CURB, I WAS ALSO DRIVING INTO THE PARKING SPACE AT LESS THAN 10 MPH. I AM REALLY SHOCKED TO SEE THIS KIND OF UNINTENDED/SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAPPEN WITH HONDA ACCORD CARS WHICH COULD PROVE TO BE FATAL FOR THE DRIVER, PASSENGER AND PEDESTRIAN ALIKE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY HONDA ACCORD THIS SEPTEMBER. IT HAD A REBUILT TITLE DUE TO MINOR DENTS AND BLEMISHES TO THE OUTSIDE. NO MAJOR WRECKS. LOOKED AND SEEMED IN GOOD CONDITION. DEALER ASSURED ME THAT ALL OF HIS CARS WERE INSURANCE CLAIMS DUE TO MINOR EXTERIOR WEAR. HE DIDN'T TAKE ANY CARS THAT HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN WRECKS. HE WAS AN "ENGINEER" AND DIDN'T NEED TO SCREW PEOPLE OVER FOR MONEY. I HAD MY MECHANIC INSPECT IT RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT HAD A 30 DAY RETURN POLICY, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. MY REGULAR MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE WAS FINE BUT THERE WERE MINOR THINGS I NEEDED SUCH AS; NEW ROTORS, NEW TIRES, AND SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. HIS SECRETARY SAID THESE WERE ALL OPTIONAL THINGS TO HAVE FIXED. 1 MONTH LATER...THE RADIATOR GOES BAD AND MUST BE REPLACED. MY REGULAR MECHANIC CHARGES ME $600.00 DOLLARS FOR THE PROCEDURE. I COMPARE PRICES AND FIND A BETTER PRICE FOR THE SAME RADIATOR. UNFORTUNATELY, MY REGULAR MECHANIC STILL CHARGES ME $70.00 FOR HIS OPINION. I GO TO THE CHEAPER PLACE, GET A NEW RADIATOR AND HAVE MY ROTORS REPLACED. SINCE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER OWNING THE CAR I NOTICE THAT THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. A $80.00 DIAGNOSTIC CHECK WAS PERFORMED AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. MY MECHANIC DIDN'T NOTICE IT WHEN HE DROVE IT. I STILL DON'T KNOW IF MY AIRBAGS WORK! A MONTH AFTER THAT..TRANSMISSION GOES BAD WHEN IN REVERSE. MAKES A TERRIBLE GRINDING OF METAL SOUND AND LURCHES WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. PROBABLY NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH I HAVE NO WAY TO PAY FOR. LUCKILY, IT IS ONLY A PROBLEM DURING THE COLD AND/OR WHEN I FIRST START THE ENGINE. IM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR AND MYSELF! BECAUSE I'VE HAD 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE ASSURE ME THE CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE, ONLY TO FIND OUT ABOUT OR HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM OCCUR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN MY MYSTERY CAR! I BOUGHT A HONDA AFTER BEING A LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY HAD THE BEST REPUTATION FOR LONG LASTING VEHICLES. I'M THINKING I MADE A MISTAKE. PLEASE HELP LESSEN MY WORRIES. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A SET OF 2000 HONDA ACCORD 1 PIECE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS FROM 4CAROPTION.COM. FEW DAYS AFTER I INSTALLED THE HEADLIGHTS I GOT PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER AND WAS ASKED TO PUT BACK MY ORIGINAL HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE I AM REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE AN AMBER REFLECTOR ON MY HEADLIGHTS. 4CAROPTION.COM NEVER ADVISED ME ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS' DESIGN IS AGAINST THE LAW. I CALLED 4CAROPTION TO ASK FOR A FULL REFUND, BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME HALF OF THE PAYMENT BACK SINCE I INSTALLED THE HEADLIGHTS ALREADY. NM

AT 84,366 MILES MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK ACCORD TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE EGR VALVE ERROR CODE APPEARED. THE MECHANIC SAID TO TAKE TO HONDA DUE TO RECALL FOR THIS PART. PICKED CAR UP FROM MECHANIC AND CAR ALSO HAD SRS LIGHT ON. RESEARCHED ONLINE SINCE I ALREADY HAVE RECALL FOR DASH LIGHT. FOUND MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH SAME SRS LIGHT. FOUND OUT MY AIR BAGS WILL NOT FUNCTION IF SENSOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID I WAS BEYOND THE MILEAGE (80K) FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE DEFECTIVE EGR VALVE REPLACEMENT. ASKED WHAT HONDA WAS DOING ABOUT THE FRONT AIRBAGS AND WAS TOLD NO DECISION HAS BEEN MADE. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED MY CAR HAS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR DEFECTIVE/FAULTY TRANSMISSION. SO WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY TRANMSMISSION MAY GIVE OUT AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND IF COLLSION OCCURS, MY AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. MY SEAT WELD JOINT BROKE AT 54K TOO! I USED A 99 TOYOTA 4RUNNER AS REPLACEMENT VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN MY 40LB. DOG SAT IN PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. MY ACCORD NEVER HAS DETECTED MY DOG IN THE FRONT SEAT EVER! THIS CAR IS RIDDLED WITH SAFETY DEFECTS AND POOR MANUFACTURING. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PROTECTING THE OWNERS FROM INJURY INCLUDING MONETARY REPAIRS/ REPLACEMENT COSTS FOR ALL OF THESE SAFETY DEFECTS AND ENGINE DEFECTS. *NM

WHILE FOOT IS ON BRAKE AT 4-WAY, CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE WILL START TO REV UP. TOOK IT TO HONDA IN PEORIA IL - FIRST TOLD THAT "THEY" DIDN'T CARE TO WORK ON MY SUV BECAUSE IT WASN'T A TRUE HONDA. THEN, THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE ME. AFTER THE THIRD TIME, THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AFTER THE CAR WAS BROUGHT RIGHT OVER AFTER THE PROBLEM HAPPENED. NOTHING SHOWED, SO THEY CHANGED OUT A COUPLE PARTS INCLUDING THE CC SWITCH AND ACUATOR. PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR, BUT NOW THE CAR SHUTS OFF. NOT GOOD WHEN YOU HAVE A GREEN LIGHT. NOW, THE CAR IS OVERHEATING, ALWAYS A QUART LOW EVEN THOUGH OIL CHANGES ARE AT 3,000 MILES. ALSO, THE FUEL GAUGE KEEPS DROPPING THEN GOING BACK UP.

THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT ON THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES WHICH IS WAY TOO SOON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER AND HAD TO REPLACE THE EGR VALVE (COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). THE RIGHT HEADLAMP HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. THE FACTORY-INSTALLED CD PLAYER FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 37,000 MILES. I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE HONDA, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN TOO PLEASED WITH ALL THE LITTLE NITPICKING STUFF. THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE REPLACED AT THE APPROXIMATELY 50000 MILE MARK. THE NEW TIRES WERE DUNLAPS WHICH FAILED WITHIN 8 MONTHS. HOPEFULLY THE NEW ONES WILL MAKE IT.*AK

CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE MORENO VALLEY HONDA AND SPREEN HONDA REGARDING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. MY HUSBAND OWNS A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND HAD TO TELL SPREEN HONDA WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I FINALLY CALLED HONDA'S MAIN OFFICE AND IT TOOK THEM ABOUT A WEEK TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. HOME OFFICE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND REQUESTED THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED. SPREEN HONDA HAD THE CAR FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND DID NOT OFFER RENTAL CAR OR REIMBURSEMENT. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL AROUND. MY HUSBAND COULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT THE CAR WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD AND UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THE PROBLEMS STARTED TO OCCUR. THE BRAKES ARE CONSTANTLY SQUEEKING EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT. THE MATERIAL ON THE REAR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS MELTED. PASSENGER SEAT BELTS ARE EXTREMELY TIGHT. THIS 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE HAS BEEN A TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. DT
