On Sept. 28, 2023 I was driving this car and it was on a very rough highway and it went into a skid and flipped over and was totaled. It was towed to Willow Creek, CA for one week. I was badly injured and had no way to get to Willow Creek, CA so I had to pay $500 for it to be stored and they eventually got the title of the car from me and allegedly disposed of the 2002 Accord. I did not see it after the accident as I was bedridden and unable to travel to see the condition of my car. The passenger's side of the back seat was GONE and you could see the ground, I do remember that much despite my severe injuries to my head and body. I was the driver and the driver's side airbags failed to deploy despite the numerous time I took it in to Mid-City Motor World in Eureka, CA responding to numerous airbag recalls. I was told prior airbag recalls had not worked and that is why I had to keep going back to have them done over and over again. I am the original owner of this car and I got hurt badly in this accident. It has been over two months now and I have yet to fully recover. I often wonder if I ever will fully recover as I still have pain in my back, arms, legs and head. If the airbags had worked, I would not have ended up bedridden with a head injury and unable to move. I had no help at all after the accident. Shame on you Honda for failing to assist a person that was injured because of one of the cars you made that has a history of recalls as noted at this federal government link: [XXX] I called HONDA on the phone to report his incident and have never received a call back to my knowledge. 1 800 999 1009 is the telephone number I have called. I was told they called me back on time. Did they really? Isn't there some sort of compensation for people driving a car that had numerous airbag recalls that failed when an accident occurred? I will never buy another Honda again as I am so disgusted. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact and her husband later received medical treatment at the hospital. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and later taken to the contact's residence, where it remained. The insurance company did not deem the vehicle totaled.

THE AIRBAG IS NOT DEPLOYED BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE OVER TIME IT HAS INFLATED UNDER THE DASH. CURRENTLY THERE ARE 6 RECALLS RELATED TO AIRBAG MODULES IN THE YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE, YET FOR SOME REASON THIS WEBSITE SAYS MY VIN# IS NOT INCLUDED.

BECAUSE THE RECALL IS GOING INTO BANKRUPTCY I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE CAR. IT JUST TURNED ON. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ADDRESS THIS BECAUSE I HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE. I CAN'T IMAGE WHY THEY WON'T ASSIST WITH THE DIAGNOSIS AND TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE SEATBELT AND AIRBAGS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR, IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION.

THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT SINCE IT HADN'T BEEN A PART OF THE RECALL. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR/BAG AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH THE SRS LIGHT STILL ON. RECENTLY I HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. ONCE AGAIN I REQUESTED THAT THEY CONTACT HONDA TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE SINCE THE SRS LIGHT IS STILL ON. ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THEY WOULDN'T DO SO AS IT ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THE INJURIES AND DEATHS RELATED TO THE SRS/INFLATORS, WHY WOULDN'T THEY INVESTIGATE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS? I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO SO MYSELF. THEN THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME HE'D NOTE IN THE HISTORY THAT I "REFUSED TO FIX IT". I WENT AHEAD AND SCHEDULED A TIME TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. AFTER I GOT OFF THE PHONE, IT REALLY MADE ME MAD THE WAY THE DEALER IMPLIED THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM AND NOTE THE HISTORY. SO, I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL NUMBER BACK AND ASKED THEM TO NOTE ON THE HISTORY OF MY CAR THAT I INFORMED HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SRS LIGHT AND THEY CHOSE TO NOT EVEN LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. I'M WRITING THIS TO PUT HONDA ON NOTICE THAT I HAVE NOTIFIED THEM OF THE SRS PROBLEM AND REQUESTED THAT THEY FIX IT UNDER THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD "NO" TWICE! A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET MAKES IT OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO HONDA'S ATTENTION AND THEY CHOSE TO IGNORE IT.

MAY HAVE TO DO WITH TAKATA RECALL. AS LONG AS I'VE HAD THE CAR (I BOUGHT IT NEW) THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS GONE ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I'VE HAD ALL RECALL WORK DONE. THE LIGHT PERSISTS IN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. EVERY TIME MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE I ASK THEM TO CHECK THIS MATTER TO SEE WHY THAT'S HAPPENING, AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME IT'S NOT A PROBLEM AND THE AIRBAGS AND THE LIGHT ARE FUNCTIONING AS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE. SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. I NOTICE THAT THEY NEVER MAKE MENTION OF HAVING CHECKED THIS OUT ON THE SERVICE ORDER. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME, MOVING, STATIONARY, ANY TYPE OF STREET OR HIGHWAY, TURNING, ETC. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND UNDER ANY CONDITIONS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. I'M REALLY BECOMING CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY FACTOR AND IF I WOULD HAVE A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WAS REAR-ENDED--HARD--AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY SHOULD IN A REAR-END COLLISION, BUT THEY DIDN'T. I COULDN'T GIVE A DATE AS PER YOUR FORMAT BECAUSE THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM 2002 UNTIL THE PRESENT, 2015, SO THE DATE I ENTERED BELOW IS TODAY'S DATE. I ALSO COULD NOT GIVE A MILEAGE BECAUSE THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM 0 MILES TO THE 47,000 MILES THE CAR NOW HAS ON IT.

WAS GOING HOME AFTER A INTERVIEW AND GOT T-BONED. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE. HAD TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE MY ARM HAD A HUGE KNOT ON IT AND LOOKED BROKE. DOCTOR SAID IT WASN'T BROKE BUT WAS BRUISED TO THE BONE. HAD TO TAKE THERAPHY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A THREE LANE ROAD ON THE MORNING OF 7-18-15. A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IN THE MIDDLE LANE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN. TO AVOID HITTING THAT VEHICLE I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT LANE AND INTO THE BIKE LANE. I WENT UP THE CURB WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED ON, WHILE BRAKING, AND HIT A LIGHT POLE JUST BEHIND THE CURB. I HAD 'HELP' GOING UP THE CURB AS A FARMER (WHO FARMS THE PARCEL ADJACENT TO THE ACCIDENT SITE) HAD BUILT AN ILLEGAL 40 FT 'RAMP' UP THE CONCRETE CURB WITH ASPHALT TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR HIS FARM EQUIPMENT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE STAYED ON THE ROAD TRAVELING ALONG THE CURB (IN THE GUTTER). THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. ESTIMATED SPEED WAS 50MPH PER THE COUNTY SHERIFF. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR CT SCAN OF THE HEAD AS I HIT THE WINDSHIELD. SUFFERED FROM TEMPORARY AMNESIA AND SLURRED SPEECH. WE WENT TO THE TOWN OFFICIALS AND REPORTED THE 'RAMP' AND IT WAS REMOVED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. WE NEED HONDA TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE (WHICH WAS TOWED TO OUR HOME) BUT AFTER A WEEK OF LEAVING VOICE MAILS FOR THE CASE MANAGER WE ARE STILL WAITING A RETURN CALL. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WANT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BUT WE WANT IT INSPECTED TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. NOTE: WE RECEIVED AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON 7-27-15 (AFTER THE ACCIDENT) BUT I THINK THIS NOTICE IS FOR A DIFFERENT ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS (NOT A DEPLOYMENT ISSUE).

MY TAKATA AIR BAG HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE BY HONDA RECALLS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG IS ANOTHER TAKATA AIRBAG. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? MY QUESTION IS: WHY IS HONDA REPLACING DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAGS WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS? SINCE TAKATA IS CONTINUING TO MANUFACTURE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE AIRBAG IN MY HONDA. SHOULDN'T HONDA USE ANOTHER AIRBAG MANUFACTURED BY ANOTHER COMPANY TO REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAG.

I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I AM REPORTING HONDA BECAUSE THEY LIED TO ME AND SAID MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE AIRBAG RECALL BECAME PUBLIC I CALLED THEM TO ASK IF MY CAR WAS ON THE RECALL. I WAS INSTANTLY TOLD IT WAS NOT. I JUST TODAY WENT TO THIS SITE ONLINE AND LOOKED IT UP AND FIND IT IS. I BELIEVE HONDA WAS INVOLVED IN A DELIBERATE COVER-UP. *TR

CULVER CITY HONDA IN LOS ANGELES, CA KEEPS TELLING ME THEY AREN'T ABLE TO GET THE NEW PARTS SHIPPED IN BECAUSE OF THE PORT STRIKE IN LOS ANGELES. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO MAIL THINGS, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY AREN'T TRYING HARDER TO GET THE PART FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY'VE ALREADY HAD 6 MONTHS. 5 PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DIED FROM THIS DEFECT AND THEY HAVE NO URGENCY TO FIX THIS AT ALL.

I AM ON MY SECOND HONDA - THE FIRST ONE WAS A 1987 HONDA ACCORD THAT I HAD FOR 15 YEARS. I LOVED THAT CAR AND HAD NO ISSUES AT ALL WITH ITS PERFORMANCE. THE CAR LISTED WITH THIS COMPLAINT I BOUGHT NEW IN 2002 AND STILL HAVE IT TODAY. I AM NOT SURE OF THE DATES BUT WITHIN THREE TO FOUR YEARS OF HAVING THIS HONDA, THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RETURNED AN ERROR LIGHT. I FAITHFULLY SERVICE THIS VEHICLE ( KIRKWOOD AUTO CENTER WILMINGTON DE) AND WHEN THEY INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THAT EACH OF THE REPAIRS WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND WOULD BE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I WAS A SINGLE PARENT AT THE TIME AND LEARNED TO LIVE WITH NO DASHBOARD LIGHTING AT NIGHT AND HAD THE AIR BAGS DISABLED. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN THE CAR TO A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER (UNION PARK HONDA WILMINGTON DE) AND THEY ALSO CONFIRMED THAT NEITHER OF THOSE REPAIRS WAS COVERED OR THE PRODUCT OF A RECALL. I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WOULD BUY HONDAS FOREVER BUT I AM QUITE DISAPPOINTED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS 2002 ACCORD AND HOW IT FAILED SO SOON AFTER I PURCHASED IT WITH NO RECOURSE BUT TO PAY A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX THE ISSUES. EQUALLY UPSETTING IS ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH AIRBAGS THAT ARE BEING REPLACED YET MY CAR, WITH THE FAILED AIRBAG, WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID BY ME TO BE FUNCTIONAL.

WE RECOMMEND AVOIDING THIS MODEL YEAR LIKE THE PLAGUE. THE TRANSMISSION BEGINS SLIPPING & EVENTUALLY HAS TO BE REPLACED, TYPICALLY SOON AFTER 90,000 MILES & WITH A REPAIR COST OF OVER $2,000. TRANSMISSION FAILURE HAS BEEN A HUGE PROBLEM FOR THE ACCORD & SEVERAL OTHER HONDA MODELS ALL THROUGH THE EARLY 2000S MODEL YEARS. HONDA EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 93 MONTHS/109K MILES FOR THE 2000-2001 ACCORD AS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT, BUT OWNERS OF OTHER ACCORD MODEL YEARS WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ARE OUT OF LUCK. SUBFRAME RUST NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL HAS BECOME A PROBLEM RECENTLY, DUE TO THE POORLY POSITIONED A/C DRAIN HOSE DIRECTLY ABOVE THAT AREA. REPAIR COST TO THE SUBFRAME IS OVER $2,000. THE SRS WARNING LIGHT LIKES TO COME ON DUE TO A DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT SENSOR -- TYPICALLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS SENSOR IS COVERED UNDER HONDA'S LIFETIME SEAT BELT WARRANTY, BUT SOME DEALERS CHARGE A $100+ "DIAGNOSTIC FEE" OR TELL CUSTOMERS THE ENTIRE SRS UNIT ($800) IS BAD. *TR

MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD V6 COUPE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM. I BROUGHT IT TO DEALER, AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH FAILURE, AND IT WOULD COST $200+ TO FIX, EVEN THOUGH THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES THAT ALL SEAT BELT PROBLEMS HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY. I REFUSED TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED, AND THEY SENT ME AWAY, INFORMING ME THAT THE SRS SYSTEM IS SHUT DOWN. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME, AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE ON THEIR ACCORDS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME. THANK YOU *TR

I PURCHASED A 2002 HONDA ACCORD COUPE BRAND NEW IN 2002. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PURCHASE THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT BEGAN TO INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG AND RESTRAINT SYSTEM. THE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST BUT FINALLY REMAINED ON CONSTANTLY. I MADE THE DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THIS AND THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS IN ORDER TO PASS INSPECTION. IN THE SPRING OF 2006 HONDA FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM AND SENT NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS. I WAS REIMBURSED FOR THE MONEY I HAD PAID FOR REPAIRS. GIVEN THE PROBLEMS THAT HAD BEEN REPORTED THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART FOR ALL OWNERS. UNFORTUNATELY, A MALFUNCTION OF THE SRS HAPPENED AGAIN IN 2006. AGAIN I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS. AGAIN I SUBMITTED THE INFORMATION TO HONDA AND WAS REIMBURSED. FINALLY, IN 2009 ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE SRS WAS DISCOVERED. I ASSUMED ALL WOULD BE AS BEFORE AND THAT I COULD SUBMIT A CLAIM AND BE REIMBURSED. HONDA DID PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM EVALUATED, BUT THIS TIME HONDA REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM AND DENIED THE CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I HAVE BEEN IN TALKS WITH HONDA OVER THIS ISSUE SINCE FEBRUARY 2009. I HAVE APPEALED THEIR DENIAL AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS THIS PART WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE BEGINNING. NOW, A RECALL OF HONDAS INVOLVING THE SRS SYSTEM IS UNDER WAY, BUT AGAIN MY CLAIM IS BEING DENIED. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE PART IN QUESTION IS NOT DEFECTIVE. HOWEVER, I THINK IT'S OBVIOUS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ENTIRE SRS SYSTEM IN THIS MODEL YEAR HONDA AND THEY SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. HONDA WAS LATE IN ACKNOWLEDGING A PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS MORE OF THEM TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ERROR. I DO HOPE OTHER OWNERS HAVE COME FORWARD AS I AM TO MAKE HONDA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND TO REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR THE EXPENSES THEY HAVE INCURRED FOR HONDA'S DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN HE REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 50 MPH. HE SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND NO OCCUPANT WAS PRESENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE AND REPAIRED; EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. THE HONDA MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE IMPACT WAS NOT SEVERE ENOUGH TO MERIT DEPLOYMENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

IT COST ME $85 FOR THEM TO CLEAR THE CODE, STATING THAT THE CAUSE WAS ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE LIKE A CELL PHONE OR LAPTOP. IT IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF AT ANYTIME I SHOULD USE AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE IN MY CAR THERE IS A CHANCE MY AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FIX THE ISSUE NOT COVER IT UP. *TR

THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME HE DIDN'T WANT TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, AND SUGGESTED I WAIT AND SEE IF IT "SELF-CORRECTED".

THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN KINDLY INFORMED ME THAT IF IT WAS THE SEATBELT THAT HAD BROKEN THEY COULD OF FIXED IT NO CHARGE EVEN IF THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I DECLINED THE REPAIR AND LOOKED ONLINE ONLY TO FIND MANY ACCORD DRIVERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND EACH DEALER CHARGES A DIFFERENT AMOUNT FOR REPAIR.

RE. THREE MAJOR FACTORY DEFECTS OF 2002 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX I CURRENTLY OWN FOUR HONDA VEHICLES. TWO OF THEM ARE 2002 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX MODELS. HONDA RELEASED 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX WITHOUT ANY THOROUGH FINAL INSPECTIONS. THE MALFUNCTIONING ON MY TWO HONDAS WAS ALL FACTORY DEFECTS DEEPLY RELATED TO PASSENGER SAFETY. HONDA DOES NOT CARE FOR HUMAN LIFE SINCERELY AS ADVERTISED. HONDA DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE ONE OF THE BEST VEHICLES IN THE STATES. SINCE I PURCHASED BRAND NEW 2002 HONDAS, THREE SERIOUS MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL DEFECTS HAVE BEEN FOUND: SEAT BELT SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING, TIMING RELATED ENGINE RPM SURGE, AND POWERTRAIN BREAKDOWN. ALL THREE HAPPENED WITHIN 36,000 MILES. FIRST PROBLEM WAS A SEAT BELT SENSOR PROBLEM. IT WAS DETECTED SEVERAL MONTHS ON BOTH VEHICLES. AND I ASKED A HONDA MECHANIC TO FIX IT. HE TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD GO AWAY IF YOU DROVE MORE. HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT GONE. AND COUPLE OF YEARS LATER, I STRONGLY ASK HONDA DEALER TO CHECK AND FIX IT. ONE WAS SEAT BELT SENSOR PROBLEM AND THE OTHER WAS THE MAIN SEAT BELT CONTROLLER. SECOND PROBLEM WAS A TIMING RELATED ENGINE SURGE. IT HAPPENED ON BOTH HONDAS WITHIN 30,000 MILES ON THE SAME DAY. RPM OF BOTH HONDA WENT UP AND ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. EVEN IN BRAKING, I COULD FEEL VERY STRONG FORCE, WHICH MIGHT BREAK SOMETHING. IT WAS A SUDDEN SURGE ENOUGH TO CAUSE A BIG ACCIDENT. I WANT YOU TO INSPECT THIS FACTORY DEFECT OF ALL 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX. THIRD PROBLEM HAPPENED IN THE FIRST 2002 HONDA. IT WAS A POWERTRAIN PROBLEM. THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAS SURGED SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER DELIVERED TO US. THE MECHANICS IN HONDA DEALERSHIPS SAID THAT IT WOULD GO AWAY IF WE DROVE MORE. THE SURGE IN FIRST THREE YEARS SEEMED MODERATE JOLTING WHEN THE SECOND GEAR SHIFTED TO THE FIRST GEAR. BUT IT GOT WORSE AND WORSE. FINALLY, OIL LEAKED. AFTER FIXING IT, THERE ARE NO MORE JOLTING OR SURGING IN GEAR TRANSITIONS. THIS INCIDENT TOOK PLACE DUE TO HONDA'S NEGLIGENCE AND IRRESPONSIBILITY. *TR

SIDE AIRBAG LIGHTS OFTEN COME ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW. I HAD CALLED DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS SITUATIONS.

BESIDES THE ON AND OFF SITUATIONS WITH THE SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT, I WAS INVOLVED IN A DRIVER SIDE IMPACT. THE OTHER PARTY HIT ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE IMPACT COMPLETE WRECKED THE DOOR, BUT NONE OF SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED OR NOTHING. I ASSUMED THAT THE IMPACT WAS NOT HARD ENOUGH TO DEPLOY THE SIDE AIRBAG. ALSO, MANY FRIENDS WHO ALSO HAD HONDA ACCORDS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM .

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

WHILE OPERATING MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD,, MY PASSENGER LEANED AGAINST THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON UNTIL THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT THE CAR. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE REPAIR WAS TO HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACT I HAD PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2001. OF COURSE IT WAS NOT COVERED. THE REPAIR WAS A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM FOR WHICH I HAD NO CONTROL OVER NOR DID I DO ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE ''OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. THE DEVICE COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY HAD IT DEPLOYED ACCIDENTALLY OR FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. *NM

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME $95.00 JUST TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM AND THEN TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO COST $852.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WAS 18 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE SEAT NEVER GOT WET AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM WOULD RESULT IN THE AIR BAGS NOT WORKING IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.*JB

DT: THE SAFETY SENSOR THAT CONTROLS THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR THE AIR BAGS ( SRS SENSOR) FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER NEGLECTED TO TELL CONSUMER NEVER TO GET THE SEAT WET OR NEVER OPEN THE WINDOWS DURING RAIN. THE SENSOR IS LOCATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND WHEN THE SEAT GOT WET/DAMP THE SYSTEM WAS NOT LONGER GOOD. IT GOT WET ONCE BEFORE AND HAD TO REPLACE IT BUT WAS NOT TOLD IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM IF IT GOT WET. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR IT UNLESS THE CONSUMER PAID FOR IT. THIS HAPPENED JULY 25, 2005.*AK

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA ACCORD WHICH HAS ITS SRS ARIBAG LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. HONDA INDICATED THE ONBOARD COMPUTER MAY BE DEFECTIVE, BUT SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE BATTERY FIRST BEFORE PROCEEDING.

WHILE DRIVING MY HUSBAND NOTICED THAT THE SRS LIGHT TURNED ON. WE PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR BUT THE LIGHT STAYED ON. NOT KNOWING WHAT THE SRS LIGHT INDICATED I WAS CONCERNED. SO I LOOKED IT UP ON THE OWNERS MANUAL THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO A TISSUE BOX BEING STUFFED UNDER THE SEAT, WHICH HAD CUT THE WIRING SYSTEM TO THE AIR BAG. THE MANUAL ADVISED THAT IF THE LIGHT WAS ON THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SRS SYSTEM (AIR BAG) AND TO HAVE A HONDA DEALER CHECK IT OUT. I TOOK IT INTO PASADENA HONDA AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THAT THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT I HAD STUFF UNDER MY SEAT AND THAT I JAMMED A TISSUE BOX UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT THAT CUT THE WIRING SYSTEM TO THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR. I ASKED HIM, "TO SHOW ME THE STUFF"!. WE WALKED OVER TO THE CAR AND ALL WE FOUND WAS A TISSUE BOX. MY ENTIRE AIR BAG SAFETY SYSTEM WAS COMPROMISED BY A COMMON TISSUE BOX. I ADDED THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE HAD THE AIR BAG A SYSTEM, ENCASED SO IT DOES NOT ACCIDENTALLY BECOME DISCONNECTED OR CUT. I ASKED, DOES THIS MEAN I DON'T HAVE AIRBAGS NOW. HIS ANSWER WAS THAT THE WHOLE SYSTEM WAS DOWN BECAUSE OF THE DETACHED WIRING. I WAS SO UPSET AND CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE THAT WHEN I RETURNED HOME I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HONDA CORP. TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN. A HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE OPERATOR NOTED MY CONCERN AND SAID AN ADJUSTER WILL CALL IN 3-5 DAYS. ON WEDNESDAY AUGUST 11, 2004 A MR. ANTHONY HILL, WHO REPRESENTED HIMSELF TO BE THE WESTERN REGIONAL SUPERVISOR, CALLED TO SAY THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED BUT HE SAID, I JUST WANT TO MAKE THIS SHORT AND GET THIS OVER WITH. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT HONDA MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SECURE AND/OR ENCASE THE WIRING FOR THE AIR BAG SAFETY SYSTEM, SO THAT THE CONSUMERS CANNOT ACCIDENTALLY DISCONNECT AND/OR CUT THEIR SAFETY SYSTEM. *AK *SC *JB

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA ACCORD TO BE USED BY OUR 21-YEAR OLD SON WHO IS ATTENDING COLLEGE AT BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY. ON SATURDAY, DEC. 15, 2001 HE ALONG WITH 3 OTHER COLLEGE STUDENTS WERE IN THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY. THEY WERE TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE AT AROUND 70 MILES PER HOUR., ANOTHER CAR GOING THE SAME DIRECTION LOST CONTROL (REASON UNKNOWN), SPUN OUT ACROSS THE FREEWAY, HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER AND STOPPED DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF OUR SON. NATURALLY HE HIT HIS BRAKES, BUT IT HAPPENED SO FAST THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EXCEPT HIT THE OTHER CAR HEAD-ON AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. ALL FOUR OF THE PARTIES IN OUR CAR WERE WEARING THEIR SEAT BELTS, WHICH PROBABLY SAVED THEIR LIVES. HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT SOMEONE WASN'T SEVERLY INJURED. WHILE ALL OF THE PARTIES HAD SOME WHIP LASH, NO ONE HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. SOMEONE TOLD MY SON THAT BECAUSE HE HIT HIS BRAKES THE FRONT END OF OUR HONDA WAS LOWERED AND WENT UNDERNEATH THE BUMPER OF THE CAR THEY HIT, WHICH WAS A LARGER SUV AND THATS WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I THOUGHT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON IMPACT TO PROVIDE THE PROTECTION THEY ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE. THE POLICE REPORT INDICATED THAT THE DRIVER OF THE SUV WHO SPUN OUT WAS AT FAULT. WHILE WE ARE REALLY GLAD THAT OUR SON AND HIS FRIENDS WERE NOT SEVERLY INJURED I HAVE CONCERN FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHO MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY. I HOPE THIS INFORMATION IS HELPFUL. I DID CONTACT HONDA MOTOR CARS TO FILE A COMPLAINT. ABOUT ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE MY INFORMATION, SEND ME INFORMATION ON AIRBAGS AND TELL ME TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY. SHOULD YOU LIKE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE US A CALL. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *AK
