2001 HONDA ACCORD Air Bags Problems

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. The contact purchased the vehicle and was provided a copy of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V182000 (AIR BAGS) by the original owner of the vehicle. The local dealer was contacted; however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer refused to release the vehicle because of a "Do not Drive" warning on the vehicle. The contact had to sign a release form to retrieve the vehicle. The contact stated that the dealer deactivated the front driver’s side air bag. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Dealer has falsely stated that past airbag recall work was completed. The timeframe they gave of completion is incorrect. We owned the car during the timeframe they said the repairs were done, but they were not done. We had a mechanic from Honda call use around the stated time (years ago, I cant recall specifically, dealer has the info), but the mechanic never came yet marked the work as completed. I asked the dealer and they ran a report and said wok was done. I'm basically driving a ticking time bomb.

The SRS light comes on and once cleared/reset it will typically return after 2-4 trips. it was confirmed when the car when air bags were checked for recalls. This first appeared in 2018 with airbag recalls. It became a recurring issue in 2021 when after each reset it would return. The reset would last months and when the battery was drained it might reappear. In 2024 Jan. the reset and light return cycle become more consistent with it returning within 2-4 trips.

The airbags did not deploy during a side impact accident. A state state trooper investigated the accident.

I was driving down the road at about 45mph and the passenger side seat airbag deployed scared me causing me to pull steri g wheel just a little hitting a curb and causing my tire to blow out and destroy the fender well and pull the trim on door panel off along with cracking my front bumper my car was in amazing condition only had 75k miles stated parked in garage now it's trashed out all because the air bag went off for no reason my daughter was in back seat right behind passenger seat and white dusty stuff flew all over her please fix this before it kills someone thanks I love my Honda but will never get in another one scared for my life please fix

Recalled airbags

NHTSA said owners of certain Honda Accords should not be driven since airbags could explode and be fatal to the driver. We are not allowed to drive them until it is fixed.

side air bag light comes on and off randomly when driving no more than 25 mph and lights get brighter when i press the gas but doesn't move immediately.

Hit a tree backwards at 60mph caved in driver side quarter blew dash out ripped suspension out ripped gas tank out destroyed radiator, core support, no air bags or side airbags went off

The airbags failed to provide me protection during an accident on a highway. 1. Airbag was size of steering wheel, both popped upon deploying, didn't protect me from hitting and shattering windshield with my head, seatbelt help me from flying thru windshield , without protection from airbag both hands and wrists are brused in braces.. I been off work for 9 days now 2 visits to ER .. I believe the airbags mafunctioned.. my car is in Inland towing riverside ca. A highway patrol was present unknown if report was made , it's not letting me upload files and fotos

THE VIN NUMBER LISTS THIS CAR AS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD COUPES. THERE ARE 17 OPEN RECALLS FOR 2001 HONDA ACCORD 2 DR BASED ON SAFECAR.GOV. THERE ARE 4 OPEN RECALLS FOR 2001 HONDA ACCORD COUPES BASED ON THE HONDA RECALL SITE. FOR SOME REASON NONE OF THESE RECALLS ARE SHOWING UP AS APPLICABLE TO THIS VEHICLE BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD COUPE. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE RESULT OF AN OVERSIGHT OR AN ERROR THAT CAN HAVE POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCES IF IT MEANS THAT VEHICLES THAT SHOULD BE IN THE RECALL ARE NOT BEING INCLUDED. *TR

HE SAID THAT WOULD COST ME $ 150.00 TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE; PLUS PARTS; PLUS INSTALLATION. I DID NOT THINK THAT WAS RIGHT. THE RED LIGHT SHOULD NOT SERVICE MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAD THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL ON MY HONDA ACCORD. I CALLED THE NUMBER THAT WAS PROVIDED IN THE LETTERS HONDA SENT TO MY HOUSE. WE HAD THE TAKATA AIR BAG ISSUE FIXED ON NOVEMBER 7TH AT THE HONDA LOCATION IN NEW ROCHELLE. AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THEM, THE SRS LIGHT TURNED ON WHICH IS RELATED TO AIR BAG. I CALLED THE NUMBER BACK AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. I HAVE TO TAKE IT ON MY OWN AND GET IT FIXED BUT HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? I CALLED A FEW HONDA LOCATIONS AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CHARGE ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC! HONDA PUTS IN DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS AND THEN THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIX IT AND AFTER THAT I GET A LIGHT FOR AIR BAGS AND I'M TOLD I HAVE TO FIX IT ON MY OWN?

I HAD MY CAR TAKEN IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON. I ALSO HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY FIXED MY RECALL COMPLETELY AND BELIEVE MY VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL OTHER RECALLED ISSUES AT HAND. INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE HEADLIGHT S DO NOT GIVE PROPER LIGHTING AND VISIBILITY IS HORRIBLE AT NIGHT. THE SEATBELT ON MY DRIVER SIDE LOCKS ALL THE TIME WHEN I TRY TO LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER. THE TCS LIGHT SPORADICALLY COMES ON WHEN THE ROAD CONDITIONS CHANGE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BUT I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCES TO GET DEALERSHIP AUTOSHOP WORK PERFORMED.

TAKATA RECALL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT TO MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD WERE EFFECTED ON 2/22/16. ON 5/3/16 I WAS BRAKING FOR A RED LIGHT WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND FOLLOWED BY A STINGING PAIN IN MY LEFT ARM. WHEN I TURNED TO LOOK AT MY ARM I NOTICED THE AIRBAG FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR SEAT HAD DEPLOYED AND WAS NOW HANGING DEFLATED NEXT TO ME. THE AIR BAG LEFT A RED WELT, IT DIDN'T BRUISE ME AND THE REDNESS ONLY LASTED A COUPLE OF DAYS. I CALLED MY FATHER AND HE ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE HAD IT TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC WHO ADVISED US TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. A SERVICE MANAGER AT LONG BEACH HONDA LOOKED AT THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG AND SAID THE CAR HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WE ASKED HIM TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE DISCOVERED NO DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE CAR HE GOT DOWN ON ALL FOURS, LOOKED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF CAR, STOOD UP, AND SAID THERE WERE SMUDGES ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. WHEN I INFORMED HIM I DIDN'T RUN OVER ANYTHING, HE SAID THE BEST HE COULD DO WAS REPAIR THE AIR BAG AND RESET THE SENSORS FOR ABOUT $1,000. WE LEFT AND CONTACTED HONDA AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. A REPRESENTATIVE AT HONDA SAID HE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND AUTHORIZE AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. WE DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF ON 5/16/16 AT 8:30AM AND THEY CONTACTED US AROUND 5:00PM THAT SAME DAY AND SAID THAT THEY HAD COMPLETED THE INSPECTION. THE TECHNICAN SAID HE DISCOVERED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN PUSHED INTO THE TIRE WELL AT SOME POINT AND BECAUSE SOME SCREWS ON THE STEERING ARM WERE NEWER, REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE. WE TOLD HIM IT STILL DIDN'T EXPLAIN WHY ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CAR. HE SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS EMPTY. WHEN WE ASKED WHY THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY HE SAID THE SENSORS DECIDE WHICH AIRBAGS TO TRIGGER. WE REALIZED ALL THEY WERE LOOKING FOR WAS A REASON GET OUT OF IT.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA HAS MISTAKENLY LABELED OUR VEHICLE'S AIRBAG RECALL AS COMPLETED DESPITE OUR CONCERN THAT THEY HAVE INCORRECT INFORMATION. WE HAVE LIVED IN AUSTIN, TX SINCE JUNE 20TH, 2015. YET, THE RECALL SERVICE WAS SUPPOSEDLY TAKEN PLACE ON AUGUST 20TH, 2015 IN LEWISVILLE, TX . THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. LEWISVILLE IS OVER 200 MILES AWAY FROM AUSTIN AND IT WAS RECORDED AS BEING BROUGHT IN BY A WOMAN WHOM I HAVE NEVER MET OR EVEN HEARD OF. AFTER REPEATED PHONE CALLS TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS AND A "CLAIMS CASE" THAT PRODUCED NO RESULTS WHATSOEVER THE RESULT FROM HONDA'S INVESTIGATION IS "WE HAVE IT MARKED AS COMPLETED, SORRY. YOU CAN PAY FOR AN INSPECTION IF YOU WANT." I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND THE FACT THAT HONDA WILL NOT INSPECT MY VEHICLE'S SAFETY IS AN OUTRAGE.

TAKATA RECALL HONDA CALLED ME BACK IN JANUARY TO NOTIFY ME OF THE INFLATOR RECALL ON MY CAR AND TOLD ME I NEED TO BRING IT IN TO BE REPAIRED. SINCE I WAS WORKING A LOT AT THE TIME AND WAS CARPOOLING WITH MY BROTHER I TOOK THE OPTION TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AT A LATER DATE. I RECENTLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I NEED TO START DRIVING THE CAR A LOT AGAIN I CALLED HONDA BACK TO SET UP THE APPOINTMENT. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY COMPLETE AND GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO THE LOCATION THIS REPAIR WAS APPARENTLY DONE. I CALLED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME A DIFFERENT DEALER WAS THE ONE THAT DID THE RECALL. I WENT BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DIFFERENT DEALERS AND HONDA'S RESOLUTION TEAM MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS BEFORE THEY FINALLY GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO THE HONDA ASSOCIATION. I CALLED THEM AND THE LADY ON THE PHONE TOLD ME IT WAS ALREADY DONE. I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND SHE CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY DONE IN HOUSTON (WHICH IS ABOUT A 4-HOUR DRIVE FROM WHERE I LIVE) ON JANUARY 29TH. SHE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO TO HELP ME AND CONTINUED THAT IT WAS ALREADY DONE. I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT DRIVES THIS HONDA AND DEFINITELY DID NOT TAKE IT TO BE REPAIRED, AND HONDA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MEANWHILE AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM THE PAST FEW WEEKS I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I AM DRIVING MY CAR WITH DANGEROUS INFLATORS AND CAN'T GET THE REPAIR WORK DONE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OFFERED BY HONDA, WITH A NEW JOB IN FRISCO (ABOUT AN HOUR DRIVE) STARTING IN A FEW WEEKS. I TOLD THE LADY ON THE PHONE THAT I WAS GOING TO CONTACT THE NHTSA NEXT AND SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD MAKE NOTE OF THAT.

AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS ,I JUST HAD THE TAKATA RECALLED AIR BAG REPLACED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO IN MY HONDA FROM TAKATA. TODAY NOVEMBER 6TH I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION GOING AROUND 35MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY. THE NEW REPLACED AIR BAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL NEVER DEPLOYED BUT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN JUST A PASSENGER AIR BAG GO OFF AND NOT THE DRIVERS BAG GO OFF TO. THE DRIVERS AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THIS NEW AIR BAG FROM TAKATA NOT GOING OFF OR AN INSTALLATION ISSUE?. THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED BY SMART HONDA DEALERSHIP IN DES MOINES IOWA SEVERAL WEEK AGO. THE CAR IS AT IMPOUND RIGHT NOW AT THE TOWING COMPANY IT IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THERE IS A POLICE REPORT OF THE ACCIDENT...THX

FIRST OF ALL I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IVE HAD MY SRS DASH LIGHT COME ON IN THE PAST AND HONDA REPLACED MY SEAT BELT BUCKLE AND HONDA HAD COVERED THE REPAIR ON THIS . THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN RECENTLY AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE LIGHT ISSUE AND TOLD ME THE SRS UNIT WAS BAD AND IT WOULD BE AT LEAST $700 FOR THE REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE(AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY) AND I AM SEEING THIS IS QUITE COMMON ON THIS PARTICULAR MAKE , MODEL , YEAR . I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE IT CAN DEFINITELY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO A FATALITY IN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT .

I ADVISED HOA I DO NOT WISH TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, ONLY THE AIRBAG MODULE ITSELF. HOA ADVISED "NO".

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).

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

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE NEW AND MAINTAINED IT AT A HONDA DEALER FROM PURCHASE UNTIL NOW FOR MOST MAINTENANCE. AT APPROXIMATELY 168000 MILES THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. ON 6/2/14 THE HONDA DEALER IN DOVER NH DETERMINED THE OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THE OPDS CONTROL UNIT AND OPDS SENSOR (CODE THE DEALER GOT WAS 15-3) AT A COST OF $661.98. IN THE SPRING OF 2006 I RECEIVED (AND STILL HAVE) A WARRANTY EXTENSION NOTICE THAT EXTENDS THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST ON BOTH THE OPDS CONTROL UNIT AND OPDS SENSOR IF THEY MALFUNCTION. IT IS CLEAR THAT HONDA KNEW THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BUT DID NOT ELECT TO MAKE A RECALL. I BELIEVE HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO SAVE MONEY AS HONDA KNEW THAT MANY PEOPLE DO NOT KEEP THEIR CARS MORE THAN 10 YEARS (OR FOR 150,000 MILES) AND SECONDARY BUYERS MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IF THESES ITEMS MALFUNCTIONED DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD GIVE ME SOME CONSIDERATION AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 2010 AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE FOR HONDA NOT TO HAVE HAD A RECALL IN 2006 FOR THIS ISSUE AS HAVING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN AIRBAG NOT WORKING PROPERLY COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I WENT INTO A HONDA DEALER FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL, TWICE. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HOWEVER KEEPS LIGHTING UP. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE GOING ON THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED.

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO HONDA FOR OVER 3 YEARS ABOUT THE SRS MODULE SYSTEM. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO ABOUT 2 TO 3 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS. THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE A SENSOR AND SOME OTHER PARTS RELATED TO THIS SYSTEM FOR $600 BUT THEY DO NOT GUARANTEED THOSE FIXING WILL SOLVE THE SRS PROBLEM PLUS THEY ALSO ARE NOT SURE IF IN A CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY OR WORK RIGHT. WHY PAID FOR THIS REPAIR WENT THEY CAN'T GUARANTEED IT WILL WORK. HONDA IS VERY MISSLEADING. THEY SHOULD BE ORDER TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS SRS SYSTEM. WHAT COULD BE MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE THAN THIS PROBLEM. ARE THEY WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO GET HURT DUE TO NOT DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS DUE TO SRS SYSTEM ISSUES. OTHER CAR COMPANIES ARE ORDER TO DO RECALLS ON BRAKES FAILURE, SEAT BELTS, HONDA IS NOT BEING AN HONEST CUSTOMER ORIENTED COMPANY. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2013, MY HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN WHICH HE SUFFERED A VISION LOSS. THOUGH IT IS TEMPORARY AND REVERSIBLE, IT HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED OUR LIVES. PER DOCTORS' REPORT, THIS VISION LOSS WAS DIRECT IMPACT OF VIOLENT ROCKING OF HIS HEAD. AFTER ENSURING MY HUSBAND WAS IN A STABILIZED CONDITION AFTER THIS LIFE THREATENING EVENT, I STARTED PUTTING PIECES TOGETHER TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PHOTOS OF THE CAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT (POSTED HERE: HTTP://SDRV.MS/1GSAADG), I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED, WHILE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY! WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED HE WAS WEARING THE SIT BELT (TIED TO THE SEAT BY SEAT BELT, HE WAS TIED ON THE STOMACH AND TO THE CHEST). THAT SEAT BELT MAY HAVE BEEN CRUCIAL IN SAVING HIS LIFE. HOWEVER, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. THIS CAUSED VIOLENT ROCKING OF HIS HEAD RESULTING INTO SEVER SIMULTANEOUS HEMORRHAGE OF BOTH EYES AND ULTIMATELY LEADING UP TO TOTAL LOSS OF HIS VISION. I AM CONFIDENT THAT HAD THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AS EXPECTED, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A MUCH BETTER CONDITION. I TRUSTED HONDA VEHICLES AND PREFERRED THOSE FOR MY YOUNG KIDS. WE SELECTED HONDA FOR ITS COMMITMENT TO SAFETY, RELIABILITY AND QUALITY. HOWEVER, THIS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MALFUNCTION IS LEAVING TROUBLING THOUGHTS WITH ME, MY HUSBAND, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY OTHER PERSON RELIVING SUCH A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE HONDA MOTOR COMPANY TO LOOK INTO THIS ASPECT AND CHECK OUR CAR TO FIND OUT ANY DEFECTS OF MALFUNCTION IN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY HONDA ACCORD 2001 HAS BEEN FAULTY FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS NOW. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION BUT THE RECALL EXPIRED ACCORDING TO HONDA. THERE IS NO OPTION BUT TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION IF IT BLOWS AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT I'M WAITING FOR. HONDA HAS NOT GUARANTEED THAT IF THE TRANSMISSION IS FIXED, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON ALL THE TIME, AS HE WAS DRIVING, BUT WOULD GO OUT, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. ALSO, WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND A CAODE OF C0277 BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR DEFECTIVE. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS, AFTER THE REPAIR, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN, WHICH THEN RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF HIM STOPPED SUDDENLY AND HE STATED HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP, BUT THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AND HE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE REPAIR SHOP, TO SEE WHY THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON. THE REPIAR SHOP FOUND A BAD BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH AND RECALIBRATED THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. THEY ALSO FOUND AN INTERNAL FAULT WITHIN THE CONTROL MODULE AND REPLACED IT. AFTER HE LEFT THE REPAIR SHOP, ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND A A BAD CONNECTION FROM THE EBCM TO THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH.

THE SRS AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS IS THE AIRBAG SENSOR AND CONTROLS THE DEPLOYMENTS OF AIRBAGS. AFTER RESEARCHING COMPLAINTS ON MY VEHICLE TYPE AND YEAR, 85% ARE RELATED TO THIS AIRBAG LIGHT. EVEN AFTER MANDATED RECALL, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. HOW CAN THIS BE IGNORED? AIRBAGS ARE A MANDATORY SAFETY DEVICE INSTALLED TO SAVE LIVES. EVIDENTLY THE RECALL REPAIRS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. ISSUE A MANDATE TO FIX PROBLEM SO THAT THE STAYS OFF AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY!!! ALSO, MY INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT DOES NOT WORK, I CAN'T SEE THE INSTRUMENTS AT ALL AT NIGHT. THIS WAS A RECALL FOR THE 01 LX MODEL ACCORDS BUT NOT THE 01 EX MODELS. BASED ON THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS I FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE, ALL 01 ACCORDS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. HOW CAN THIS BE IGNORED. I READ THROUGH ALL THE 2001 ACCORD COMPLAINTS AND IT SOUNDS TO ME THERE WILL BE SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY NON DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WHEN TRYING TO CORRECT MY AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE, I WAS TOLD IT WAS TOO LATE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT ISSUE WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA SINCE MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THEY SAY THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 SEDAN. THE SRS LIGHT ON IT WENT ON A FEW MONTHS AGO. IT ALWAYS STAYED ON CAUSING THE RISK OF AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. AFTER DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH AND REPEATEDLY CHECKING FOR RECALLS, FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA VEHICLES. I FINALLY WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT FIXED. THEY MENTIONED THAT THE DRIVER SEATBELT BUCKLE WAS CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT AND IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

ONE YEAR AGO I PURCHASED A 2001 HONDA ACCORD AT THE TIME IT HAD 106,000 MILES ON IT. I HADN'T HAD THE CAR A WEEK WHEN I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY RECALLS ETC. ON THIS MODEL AND SURE ENOUGH HONDA SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS UP TO 100,000 MILES - SO HERE I AM A YEAR LATER LOOKING AT $2,000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUALLY COMES ON FOR NOW APPARENT REASON, EVEN IF THERE IS NO ONE SITTING IN THE SEAT. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE; THE "PART" THAT HOLDS THE WINDOW UP SOMEHOW BROKE AND TO REPLACE IT COSTS OVER $200. AND FINALLY (WELL I HOPE) MY BRAKES SEEM TO HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN, AT TIMES THEY MAKE FUNNY NOISES, SOMETIMES THEY FEEL LIKE THEY AREN'T GOING TO WORK.

ALSO I WAS HORRIFIED TO FIND OUT THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THE SRS LIGHT IS ON DUE TO A SENSOR FAILURE. THIS ENDANGERS MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF ANYONE WHO DRIVES THE VEHICLE AND SINCE AIRBAGS ARE REQUIRED IN A VEHICLE SHOULDN'T THERE BE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON AIRBAGS??? IT COST UP TO 700 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE UNIT. SO BECAUSE OF A BAD DESIGN I CAN'T HAVE A SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE DETERMINED BY THE DOT TO BE REQUIRED REPAIRED IF IT FAILS DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN.

IN FACT MANY OWNERS INDICATED THAT AFTER THEY WERE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THEIR AIRBAGS NEVER DID DEPLOY EVEN AFTER THE SRS LIGHT WAS RESET BY THEIR DEALER. THE COST OF THE REPAIR, FOR ME, WILL BE FROM $1000 TO $1500. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SEAT BELTS HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY BUT NOT THE AIRBAGS. I FEEL THE AIRBAGS SHOULD BE TREATED THE SAME AS THE SEAT BELTS AND HAVE THE SAME WARRANTY. AT THE VERY LEAST HONDA SHOULD RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM THEY HAVE WITH THIS MODEL AND GIVE THE OWNERS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THESE REPAIRS. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS THERE ARE MANY OWNERS THAT ARE DRIVING THESE DEFECTIVE HONDA ACCORDS AND IF INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THEIR HONDA'S AIRBAGS WILL NOT INFLATE.

THE SRS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS, AND HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE ME $450 TO REPLACE IT. SHOULDN'T HONDA PAY FOR THIS IN LIGHT OF YOUR PRIOR INVESTIGATION AS WELL AS THE HIGH SAFETY RISK? I NOTIFIED HONDA CORPORATE TWO WEEKS AGO - NO RESPONSE.

SRS LIGHT ON. FAILED SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR. HAD SENSOR REPLACED AUGUST 1, 2008 AT THE HONDA DEALER AND AT MY EXPENSE. IN MAY OF 2006 THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. WHY ISN'T THE ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM OF SENSORS AND CONTROLLERS COVERED BY WARRANTY RATHER THAN JUST THE FRONT AIR BAGS? SEEMS LIKE HONDA,S SRS SYSTEM HAS SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH FAILED CONTROL UNITS AND SENSORS. *TR

OWNER OF A 2001 HONDA ACCORD WITH ONLY 20,000+ MILEAGE. A WEEK AFTER AN ANNUAL INSPECTION, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED SO. DEALER INDICATED A $90 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE WOULD BE REQUIRED AND ONLY WAVED IF A PART WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN INVESTIGATED IN RECENT YEARS AFTER A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OWNER COMPLAINTS. I ALSO FOUND SOME REVEALING CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE NHTSA AND HONDA REGARDING CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH THE SRS LIGHT ISSUE AND ALTHOUGH SRS LIGHT WARNINGS ON SOME VEHICLES CONTINUED TO OCCUR REPEATEDLY AFTER ADDRESSING THE DTC 15-3 CODE, NHTSA CLOSED ITS #PE05043 INVESTIGATION. I ASSUMED THIS ACTION WAS TAKEN AFTER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A SAFETY ISSUE WAS NOT INVOLVED AND HONDA AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON SRS ILLUMINATION AND OPDS ISSUES TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION LETTER FROM HONDA INDICATING A NO COST REPLACEMENT OF THE OPDS UNIT. MY CONCERN IS, DOES THE DEALER HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE ($90) IF HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY AND THE HISTORY OF ISSUES INVOLVED IN THIS FREQUENTLY DEFECTIVE SRS WARNING LIGHT APPARENTLY REMAIN UNRESOLVED. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS AND ONLY RECENTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT. FIRST, MY ALARM SYSTEM HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING. THE ALARM WILL GO OFF EVERY SO OFTEN FOR NO REASON, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT DISTURBING THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAVE TO GO RUN TO THE WINDOW TO TRY TO TURN OFF THE ALARM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A $100 DIAGNOSTIC TEST ONLY TO TELL ME THAT MY ALARM SYSTEM WAS THE PROBLEM (SOMETHING I ALREADY KNEW), AND IT WOULD COST ANOTHER $300 TO FIX. SECOND, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT COME OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND IT WOULD COST $100 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHICH WILL PROBABLY TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW, AND PROBABLY COST ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED TO FIX. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, ESPECIALLY FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMERS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS CAR. *TR

MY SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE APPROXIMATELY JUNE 2006. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS GETTING AN INSPECTION DURING THIS TIME UNTIL NOW. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND FAILED DUE TO SRS LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM IN SEPTEMBER OF 2003 AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $773.00 TO REPAIR THE SRS CONTROL MODULE. THEY CHARGED ME $110.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, WHICH WOULD GO TO THE COST OF REPAIRS IF I DECIDED TO HAVE IT DONE. HONDA HAS ISSUED TSB'S ON THIS ISSUE, BUT IT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN NUMBER NOR THE PART THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH HONDA'S SRS PERFORMANCE AS I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES REGARDING DIFFERENT PROBLEMS WITH THE SRS LIGHT.

THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION AFFECTED THE ENGINE AND BRAKES. NOT ONLY, HONDA SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION, BUT ALSO THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION MADE THE CAR RUN IN THE LOW GEAR, DAMAGED THE ENGINE. MY CAR ENGINE IS BURNING MORE MOTOR OIL AND I HAVE TO ADD ONE QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY 700-800 MILES. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES, ROTOR/DRUM,BRAKE SHOE PADS EVERY 6-8 MONTHS BECAUSE OF FAULTY TRANSMISSION. MY CAR HAS THE SIDE AIR BAG AND ABS LIGHTS ON SINCE 30000 MILES.

I DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION LETTER AND WHEN I CALLED HONDA SF TODAY TO INQUIRE, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SERVICE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IF MY VEHICLE MEETS THE CRITERIA SPECIFIED IN YOUR REPORT, WHY IS THE DEALERSHIP NOT HONORING THEIR WARRANTY EXTENSION?

I UNDERSTAND THAT IN INVESTIGATION #PE05043, YOU HAVE NOT TESTED TO SEE IF THIS DEFECT IS A VALID SAFETY ISSUE. ARE THERE ANY CURRENT TESTS THAT COMPARE THE SAFETY STANDARDS BETWEEN HAVING A FUNCTIONING AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT VERSES JUST A FUNCTIONING SEAT BELT? I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT THAT I SHOULD PAY $1500 TO FIX THIS. I SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT GETTING INTO A CRASH ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR SHOULD STILL BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. ANYWAY, TO SUM IT UP. 1. I WANT HONDA TO HONOR THE WARRANTY EXTENSION PER YOUR INVESTIGATION AND I WANT HONDA TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE FOR FREE. 2. I WANT YOU TO INVESTIGATE TO FIND OUT WHY HONDA IS NOT HONORING THE WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR MYSELF AND POSSIBLY FOR OTHER PEOPLE. 3. I WANT YOU TO INVESTIGATE THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THIS FAULTY SRS SYSTEM AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY TO CURRENT HONDA OWNERS.

I GOT ONLINE TO RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ON MANY MANY 2001 ACCORDS. THIS IS SERIOUS, WHY ISN'T IT BEING RECALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS PEOPLES LIVES YOU ARE DEALING WITH. MOST PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER ERROR. BUT HOW CAN YOU NOT FIX IT WHEN MOST PEOPLE BY HONDA BECAUSE THEY ARE SAFE! *NM

MY SRS INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON, WHICH EFFECTIVELY TURNS OFF MY AIR-BAGS ON MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX V6. I BROUGHT THIS CAR FOR THE SAFETY, NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY WIFE AND KID WITH AIR BAGS THAT WON'T WORK. *NM

SRS SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION AND HAS NEVER WENT OFF. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT DIAG. AND REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM WILL BE TIME CONSUMING, EXPENSIVE AND WILL ONLY BE A TEMPORARY FIX TO A REPETITIVE PROBLEM. IN THE MEAN TIME I WILL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT MY AIR BAGS ARE IN FACT; OPERATIONAL, NON-OPERATIONAL OR LIABLE TO DEPLOY WITHOUT CAUSE. *JB

OUR 2001 HONDA ACCORD HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED @ THE DEALER, PENSKE HONDA IN ONTARIO CA. THE SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON PERIODICALLY SINCE PURCHASE, BUT THE SALESMAN AND SERVICE TOLD MY SON IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. MY DAUGHTER HAD A COLLISION @ 65 MPH, REAR ENDED A TRUCK 4K AFTER I HAD $1500 WORTH OF SERVICE, AND I TOLD HENRY AT THE DEALER I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE AIRBAGS WERE CHECKED. HER CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS, AND SHE HIT THE TRUCK EVENLY, NOT AT AN ANGLE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, DRIVER'S DID NOT. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS RUDE,REFUSED A SUPERVISOR CALL BACK, & ACCEPTED NO RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH NO ONE SAW THE VEHICLE. THEY CLAIM THE CAR SLID UNDER THE TRUCK, AND WAS CONTAINED IN THE CRUMPLE ZONE. IF THAT IS TRUE WHY DID THE PASSENGER AIR BAG GO OFF? I'M TOLD BOTH AIRBAGS ARE ON 1 MUTUAL SENSOR. I NEED SOMEONE TO INSPECT THIS VEHICLE OR TO PULL THE CODES TO PROVE THERE WAS A PROBLEM; THEY REFUSED. ALL I WANTED WAS COOPERATION TO NOTE A POSSIBLE PRODUCT DEFECT. NOW THEY HAVE ME ANGRY ENOUGH TO PURSUE LEGAL. POOR MOVE HONDA!!!!!IF YOU HAVE A PRODUCT DEFECT, AND SOMEONE ELSE DIES, WHAT THEN? *JB

I AM WRITING IN REGARDS TO A PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT. THE SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON FOR NO REASON THEN TURNS ITSELF OFF IN 10 TO 15 MINUTES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FIND THAT MANY OTHER 2001 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, AND HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS. THEY HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER SPENDING THEIR OWN MONEY TO REPLACE THE SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE BUT IT IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. WHY PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS BROKEN AND IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE OWNER?? THE DEALER SAYS IF THE SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, THE SIDE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THERE IS STILL NO RECALL REGARDING THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO START A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE? HAS THE NHTSA CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM OF THE SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON 2001 HONDA ACCORDS? I BOUGHT THIS CAR SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SIDE AIR BAGS. AMAZING, HONDAS MADE AFTER 2001 DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, SO HONDA HAS OBVIOUSLY CORRECTED A KNOWN PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD HAVE TO CORRECT IT IN THE 2001 MODEL YEAR AS WELL. *JB

SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (AUG. 2004), THE "SIDE AIRBAG"/"SRS" LIGHT HAVE CONTINUOUSLY COME ON. I HAVE REPEATEDLY NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVEN'T A CLUE. THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE THE WARNING LIGHT(S) HAVE BEEN ON FOR WELL OVER 2 HRS OR 200+ MILES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MORE THAN ONE HONDA LOCATION FOR TROUBLESHOOTING, AND THEY ALL HAVE NO ANSWER. ACCORDING TO HONDA'S TECHNICIANS, THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE NOT LEAVING A TROUBLE CODE, SO THEY PROCLAIM THEY HAVE NO POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR THE ISSUE. THE COMMON RESPONSE IS "THE SRS SYSTEM IS TESTING ITSELF," "THERE ARE TOO MANY/TOO LITTLE OBJECTS IN THE SEAT," "CELL PHONE INTERFERENCE," ETC.. SO FAR HONDA HAS NOT OFFERED A PROPER SOLUTION, OR EVEN A PROBABLE CAUSE. AT THIS POINT I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. INDIVIDUAL'S SAFETY SHOULD NOT BE A IGNORED OR DISMISSED. I FEEL HAVE BEEN MISLEAD FROM DAY ONE ABOUT THE RELIABILITY, SAFETY, OR THE CAR IN GENERAL. I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED USED HONDA WITH THE ASSUMPTION OF A EXCELLENT/QUALITY VEHICLE. SO FAR, I HAVE EXPERIENCED NOTHING BUT HEADACHES, NUMEROUS SERIOUS SAFETY/MECHANICAL RECALLS, AND A LACK OF INTEREST ON THE PART OF HONDA. AT THIS POINT, I AM WASTING MY TIME, MONEY, AND POSSIBLY MY HEALTH IN THIS CAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE, THEREFORE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SETTLE FOR THIS VEHICLE--ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICE I AM EXPECTED TO PAY. IT IS DISAPPOINTING TO SEE ISSUES AS SERIOUS AS THESE, BEING "SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET" BY IT'S MAKERS. *JB

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX AND DOES NOT GO OFF. THE DEALER WANTS $125 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND $1300 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR UNIT. THE SERVICE MAN NEVER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ACCORDS, BUT IS CLEARLY INDICATED AS A PROBLEM IN SEVERAL WEB SITES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SIDE AIR BAGS AND PAID EXTRA FOR THEM UP FRONT. NOW I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!! *NM

MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS NOW AND I WENT TO GO GET IT CHECKED OUT. THE DEALER TOLD ME AN ATTACHMENT TO THE AIRBAG AND HORN(DOESN'T WORK) WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WHICH HE SAYS WOULD COST ME $1000. I ADVISED HIM NOT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH, THE SAME TIME THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AS WELL FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME. I HAD A FRIEND ADVISED ME OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB OF THE SRS LIGHT COMING ON IN MOST 2001 HONDA ACCORDS. I LOOKED INTO IT AND SAW TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL REGARDING IT AND THAT MAY COST SOMEONE THEIR LIVE BECAUSE OF IT. FROM WHAT I'M READING ON THESE REVIEWS OF THE SRS LIGHT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE WILL BE NO FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THE MANUAL SAYS REGARDING THE LIGHT. IT STATES IF THE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON IT MAY NOT DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED FOR AN ACCIDENT. IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN WHY IS HONDA RISKING PEOPLE'S LIVES AND NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM! YOU CAN TAKE MONEY OUT SOMEONE'S POCKET BUT THEY WON'T HAVE THEIR LIVE BACK! DO SOMETHING! *NM

A SUV RAN A STOP SIGN AND I IMPACTED THE SUV, AT 45 MILES PER HOUR, DIRECTLY AGAINST THE RIGHT HAND SUV REAR DOOR AND WHEEL. MY FRONT STS (AIRBAGS) FAILED TO DEPLOY (THIS WAS THE SECOND ACCIDENT IN ONE YEAR, BOTH TIMES NO DEPLOYMENT) IN A FRONT END ACCIDENT THAT TOTALED THE CAR (ESTIMATE $7,000 FOR COMPLETE FRONT END). FOLLOWING THE FIRST INCIDENT, WHICH CAUSED $5,000 PLUS IN FRONTAL DAMAGE, HONDA OF AMERICA HAD THE CAR'S SRS SYSTEM INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. HONDA OF AMERICAN NOW REFUSES TO EITHER LOOK AT OR DISCUSS THE SECOND INCIDENT. I LOOK AT A FAILURE TO DEPLOY IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT AS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. AND FURTHER LOOK AT HONDA OF AMERICA'S FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY AS A MAJOR FAILURE ON THEIR PART CONCERNING THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC TRAVELING IN THEIR PRODUCTS. *JB

MY ACCORD HAS SIMILAR PROBLEM AS THE ODYSSEY REGARDING THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON.

I'VE CONTACT HONDA CARE, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND THEY TOLD ME THE AIRBAG DOES NOT COVER UNDER THE "FULL COVERAGE" WARRANTY I PURCHASED.

MY DEALER HAS BEEN WILLING TO REPLACE AND RESET THE SENSOR, BUT NOT BEFORE CHASTISING ME FOR PLACING MY CELL PHONE IN PROXIMATELY TO THE PASSENGER SEAT. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS FROM HONDA ON THIS "ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE" I FIND THIS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE AS I DRIVE MY CAR LESS THAN A MILE A DAY, MANY DAYS I NEVER USE MY CAR OR CELL PHONE IN THE CAR.

PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM INFORMATION ACT REGARDING RECALLS INVOLVING 2001 HONDA ACCORDS.*MR ATTORNEY REQUEST CERTIFIED COPIES OF ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS OR INFORMATION RELATIVE TO ANY RECALLS OF 2001 HONDA ACCORDS, WHICH HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY HONDA, THE UNITED STATES PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION OR THE UNITED STATES HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. THE ATTORNEY'S CLIENT WAS OPERATION A 2001 HONDA ACCORD WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNED INTO HER PATH AND STRUCK HER VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE CLIENT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER NECK, SHOULDER AND BACK. *NM

SRS ILLUMINATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE VEHICLE IS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX. AFTER DEALER RESET, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON THE SRS IS RENDERED INOPERATIVE. THE DEALER WAS PREPARED WITH LITERATURE FOR REASONS THAT MIGHT CAUSE THE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. I THINK THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS SERIOUS AS FAULTY SEAT BELT AND/OR HARNESS FAILURES WHICH ARE COVERED BY THE DEALER ON AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BASIS. AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON OR ILLUMINATED IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MY PROBLEM OR SYSTEM FAILURE ISNT AN ISOLATED CASE. IT APPEARS THAT MANY DRIVES ARE ACCEPTING THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS IRRITATING AND TO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR WHILE THEIR SRS SYSTEM IS TOTALLY INOPERATIVE. WHAT MIGHT EVEN BE WORSE IS THAT THERE ARE QUICK FIXES ON THE INTERNET TO RESET THE LIGHT AND BY REPEATED RESETTING THE LIGHT MIGHT MASK OR IGNORE THE ROOT PROBLEM. THE DEALER CHARGE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS $80.00. THE DEALER AGREED TO RESET THE LIGHT AGAIN CONCURRENT WITH OTHER MAINTENANCE. AFTER A THIRD RESET BY THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT RESET AND THE CONTROL MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. APPROXIMATE TOTAL COST  $750.00. *JB

WE WERE INSTRUCTED BY HONDA SERVICE AT WHITE PLAINS, NY TO GO THROUGH OUR INSURANCE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE REASON THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WAS DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAG SENSORS IN OUR CAR'S COMPUTER. FIVE WEEKS LATER, WE GOT OUR CAR BACK FROM THE SHOP. NOW, A YEAR LATER, OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AT THE TIME (PROGRESSIVE) HAS ADVISED US TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA.

ALL OF THE ABOVE DATES AND MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE. I HAVE THE INFORMATION ON PAPER AT HOME. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE HARDEST TIME WITH HONDA FINANCIAL SERVICES WITH THEM CALLING ME AND SAYING THAT I NEVER PAID MY MONTHLY BILL (LAST FALL), WHICH I DID, AND THEN FINALLY THEY FOUND THE CHECK AND SAID "OH, OUR MISTAKE, IT HAS BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME." AND THEN NOW, I HAVE THEM SAYING THAT I WAS IN DEFAULT OF MY LEASE BECAUSE THEY NEVER HAD INFORMATION FOR MY INSURANCE, WHICH MY INSURANCE WAS SUPPOSED TO SEND THEM THAT INFORMATION. I CHECKED BACK WITH THEM A WEEK LATER (TODAY) AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE GOING TO IMPOUND MY CAR BECAUSE MY INSURANCE COMPANY NEVER GOT BACK WITH THEM. CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND IT TOOK 5 MINS. TO HAVE SOMEONE FAX OVER PROOF OF INSURANCE. THAT WAS ALL - WAS IT THAT DIFFICULT??? THIS CAR HAD TO HAVE THE BACK BRAKES REPLACED AFTER 25000 MILES (ABOUT A MONTH AGO - IT WAS MAKING THIS AWFUL NOISE, LIKE RATTLING CHAINS UNDERNEATH) - THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THE BACK WINDOW TINTING LIFTED UP AFTER 1 YEAR, THE TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE FREEWAY 1 MONTH AFTER GETTING IT (LEASED THE CAR AUG 2001). THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON TWICE, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. AND THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON 2 DIFFERENT TIMES. HAD IT TURNED OFF THE 1ST TIME. THEN 1 WEEK LATER IT WAS BACK ON, BROUGHT BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, BUT THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A GOOD ENOUGH EXPLANATION. WHEN I FIRST WAS LOOKING FOR A CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP, THIS CAR WAS NOT ON THE LOT WHERE ALL THE OTHER CARS FOR SALE WERE, IT WAS IN THE BACK, BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ASKED THE SALES REP IF THE CAR WAS IN OKAY CONDITION AND HE SAID IT WAS, AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE IT ONLY HAD 10 MILES ON IT - I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THEN. THIS CAR IS A PAIN IN THE BEHIND AND IT IS JUST A HASSLE FOR EVERYTHING THAT KEEPS HAPPENING WITH IT.

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE "SRS" LIGHT CAME ON WHICH INDICATES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELTS, THE AIR BAGS, THE COMPUTER SENSING SYSTEM OR SOME OTHER COMPONENT OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM. THE OWNERS MANAUAL INSTRUCTS THAT "IGNORING THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF THE AIRBAGS, CUTOFF SYSTEM OR TENSIONERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY". IT STATES THE CAR SHOULD BE CHECKED BY A DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF THE SRS LIGHT ALERTS YOU TO A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. WHEN I TOOK THE ACCORD TO THE DEALER, THE TECHNICIAN GENERATED A REPORT FROM HONDA. IT STATED THAT IF THERE WAS A CELL PHONE, A LAP TOP COMPUTER, AN INVERTER (USED TO PUG ELECTRICAL ITEMS INTO THE CARS CIGARETTE LIGHTER) ANY ONE OF THESE MIGHT TRIP THE SRS WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THIS IS BECAUSE ANY OF THESE COMMONLY USED ELECTRONIC DEVICES MIGHT REACT WITH THE ACCORDS AIR BAG SENSORS AND CAUSE THE SRS LIGHT TO COME ON. NOBODY KNEW FOR CERTAIN IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD ACTUALLY WORK IF THE SRS LIGHT WERE ON. THUS COMMON EVERDAY TOOLS SUCH AS A CELL PHONE OR LAP TOP COMPUTER OR PROTABLE TV CAN SURELY DISRUPT THE ACCORDS AIR BAG SYSTEM AND POSSIBLY SHUT IT DOWN. FURTHER, BECAUSE HONDA'S DEALERS WILL CHARGE A SERVICE FEE TO SHUT OFF THE SRS LIGHT, MANY AMERICAN CELL PHONE AND LAP TOP USERS WILL NOT TAKE THE TIME AND EXPENSE TO HAVE THE ANNOYING SRS LIGHT SHUT OFF. THUS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE MAY BE DRIVING 2001 AND 2002 ACCORDS WITHOUT AIR BAG PROTECTION.*AK
