2003 HONDA ACCORD Air Bags Problems

Car was idling in our driveway with the defroster and heater on to melt the ice from the front windshield. After about 20 minutes the Side Airbag on the Drivers side exploded. I do believe this should be a Free Repair by a Honda Dealership as it is obviously a manufacturing defect. Your website indicates” O unrepaired defects”,(for the VIN) but we are not the original owners so we have no idea if it was ever addressed. It appears your website only goes back 15 years It is a 2003 Honda Accord and is now 22 years old.I would like some guidance, before contacting Honda. Thank You for your consideration in this matter.

My 2003 Honda Accord Coupe was struck by an SUV/crossover, after the other driver ran a red light, and I tried, but was unable to avoid the accident. My car was stuck at or in front of my driver's side front wheel. My car was totaled by my insurance company, and "no fault" was decided by both insurance companies because they and the police were unable determine who was at fault. My driver's seat and side curtain airbags deployed, and the front passenger airbag deployed. Although, I did not have a passenger. The driver's side curtain airbag did not come down far enough (only about 12-18 inches) to protect my head, and I hit my head on the glass of my driver's side window. I had a bump on and pain on the side of my head, along with headaches. I'm fine now. I believe my injuries could have been far worse had I been driving at a higher speed, on a highway or interstate. Given the faulty airbag deployment, I believe the 2003 Honda Accord Coupe should be added to the airbag recall list in place for other vehicles. As I recall, the airbag recall includes other Honda vehicles and other companies' vehicles.

According to what I read in the news, Honda Accords 2001-2003 should be recalled for airbag repair. I think Honda may have neglected to recall my car when it should have. I have attempted to ask Honda about this and they are non-responsive.

The contact owned a 2003 Honda Accord. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 19V182000 (Air Bags) and 19V501000 (Air Bags) and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list as the vehicle was totaled. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted.

My son is an approved seatbelt claimant in the Takata Bankruptcy class action suit. (#4842) He became a paraplegic when his 2003 Honda Accord rolled once after encountering a road surface change from asphalt to gravel. His seatbelt pre-tensor failed as did his airbags. His T-13 L-1 spinal cord injury is conducive to seat belt failure. . A bone spur from his vertebre broke off and went into his spinal cord. By the time our head cleared from the whole ordeal, we were one month out of the statue of limitations. (which is 2 years in the state of Colorado) Shortly thereafter we received a card in the mail informing us of the Takata class action suit. We were glad we still had an avenue for an injury claim. Fast forward 4+ years and we have recently found out that the 33 approved Takata seatbelt claimants have $1,140,000 to share amongst themselves. Some claimants lost loved ones from the faulty seatbelt sensors and seatbelt malfunctions. Based on this current fund amount, Lee will likely only receive between 20,000 to 40,000 for his injury. Very little for the inability to walk, go to the bathroom, loss of sexual function and having to deal with consistent nerve pain. I recently became aware of the ZF-TRW Class action complaint and realize the parameters of the nonfunctioning airbag and seatbelt pre-tensor fit the parameters of my sons accident. The Honda Accord 2014-2015 vehicles are listed as having problematic ZF-TRW parts. My sons 2003 Honda Accords ACU was replaced in January/February of 2015. I suspect that the part was replaced with the same ACU used in the new 2014-2015 Honda Accords. Takata seat belt class action suit settlement does not preclude anyone from collecting compensation for injury from another source. My son should have walked away from this accident.

The airbag light is on and has been over on since last year. The electrical system has issues and if the vehicle is left sitting for 2 days without any movement the car will die and you will be forced to jump the vehicle the battery has been replaced and so has the alternator. When In motion the vehicle will stall and the gears won’t switch, the car is an automatic.

WHILE PARKING CAR AT <2 MPH DRIVER FRONT WHEEL HIT CURB. DRIVERS SIDE SEAT RIPPED OPEN BUT AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIM CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THAT DEPLOYMENT WAS NORMAL, AND NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. SUGGESTED I CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA AND LODGE A COMPLAINT, WHICH I DID AND THEY CLAIM THIS WAS NOT AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. IF THE SEAT RIPPED OPEN BUT THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED, HOW IS THIS NOT A MALFUNCTION? (IT IS STILL NEATLY FOLDED WITHIN THE SEAT). WHY DID IT GO OFF WHEN HITTING A CURB WHILE PARKING AT EXTREMELY LOW SPEED? THIS SEEMS LIKE AN "AIRBAG MALFUNCTION" . I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND THAT IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY HONDA NOT AT MY COST.

TASKATA RECALL I M HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON IN MY CAR AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. ALSO MY HORN STOPPED WORKING FOR NO REASON. I THINK BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SITUATION THAT WHY.

TAKATA RECALL: MY SON WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT OVER 60 MPH WHEN THE SIDE AIRBAG (DRIVER SIDE) SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED. IT SLAMMED INTO HIS LEFT ARM WITH EXTREME FORCE,KNOCKING HIM TOWARD THE PASSENGER DOOR MAKING HIM SWERVE IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THEN DEPLOYED AND AS HE WAS TRYING TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED. HE WAS ABLE TO STOP IN THE AREA BETWEEN THE ON RAMP AND THE INTERSTATE, AS HE EXITED THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MAY 2016 THE AIRBAGS AND IGNITION RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE. AFTER INCIDENT DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID ALL HE COULD SEE WAS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SRS UNIT. HE ASKED US IF WE HAD MADE ANY ELECTRICAL MODIFICATIONS (WHICH WE HAVEN'T) I ASKED HIM IF THAT PART HAD BEEN CHECKED OR REPLACED DURING THE RECALL AND HE SAID THAT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. HE SAID WE SHOULD CALL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I LEARNED THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON THE REPLACEMENTS BECAUSE OF MOISTURE BEING INTRODUCED DURING MANUFACTURING.ALSO THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH CORROSION AND MALFUNCTION OF THE SRS UNITS DUE TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE HEAT INDEX WAS 110 AND THE HUMIDITY WAS EXTREMELY HIGH. ARKANSAS IS LOCATED IN THE SECOND OF THREE PRIORITY REGIONS FOR THE SRS RECALL.ALSO WHILE RESEARCHING SPONTANEOUS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CAUSES, I LEARNED THAT THE SRS UNIT MOISTURE PROBLEM AND THE DEGRADATION OF ACCELERANT FROM MOISTURE CAN NOT ONLY CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT, BUT ALSO CAUSE THEM TO DEPLOY WITH NO IMPACT. THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL INFORMATION AND HONDA SHOULD EXPAND THE SRS RECALL. WE ARE LUCKY LIVES WERE NOT LOST IN THIS INCIDENT, BUT THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS.

MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD LX CRASHED ON 10/01/2016 ABOUT 18 MONTHS AFTER I HAD MY AIRBAG SERVICED AT A LOCAL HONDA DEALER 4/7/2015. WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER, THE DRIVER DOOR HAD NO POWER AND COULD NOT BE OPENED REMOTELY OR WITH THE POWER LOCK CONTROL ON THE DRIVER DOOR. MORE IMPORTANTLY, NO SAFETY SIGNALS CAME ON WHEN THE CAR STARTED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY $80 TO HAVE IT CHECKED; I THEN CALLED AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHO ONLY DOCUMENTED THE COMPLAINT AND TOOK NO ACTION TO REMEDY MECHANICAL MISTAKE BY HONDA DEALER. I WAS DRIVING ON A DOWNHILL CURVE ON A WET ROAD AFTER A RAIN. WHEN I SAW A SLOWER CAR AHEAD OF ME, I GENTLY APPLIED THE BRAKE TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT FOLLOWING DISTANCE. THE CAR DRIFTED TO THE LEFT TOWARD ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BUT WHEN I TRIED STEER TO GET BACK TO THE RIGHT LANE AND TRIED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE, IT LOCKED UP, THEN THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND I HAD NO BRAKE AND STEERING RESISTANCE WAS COMPLETELY LAX. MY CAR WENT OFF ROAD AND CRASHED INTO THE WOODS. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS CONFINED IN BED WITH PAIN ONE WHOLE DAY. MY TRANSMISSION HAD LOCKED UP, THEN WENT INTO NEUTRAL, TWICE BEFORE ON 1/14/2015 IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND ON 9/15/2016 IN MY DRIVEWAY. WE NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA FOR THE TRANSMISSION RECALL; HOWEVER, WE DID RECEIVE LETTERS REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL, THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, AND THE WIPER MOTOR RECALL. A YEAR AGO, THE RECALLS CAME UP USING MY VIN#. THE DATABASE NOW SHOWS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AT ALL. AFTER MY CAR CRASH, I HAD IT TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 10/4/2016 FOR REPAIR ESTIMATE. I LEFT MY CAR AND TITLE WITH DEALERSHIP; LESS THAN 48 HOURS LATER I CALLED TO GET CAR BACK FOR CRASH INVESTIGATION AND LAWSUIT, THE CAR HAD BEEN DESTROYED BY HONDA DEALER CLOSING ALL FURTHER INQUIRIES.

I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, IN MY SAFETY BELT AS NOTED IN POLICE REPORT. SUBSEQUENT DETAILS ARE NOTED POLICE REPORT. MY VEHICLE AIR BAG BURNED ME VERY SEVERELY, AND CAUSED SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO MY LEFT ELBOW TO WHICH I SUSTAINED A FRACTURE AND CALCIUM DEPOSIT AND ARTHRITIS AT AGE 30. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND WAS PUT IN A CAST DUE TO THE AIR BAG BURN. I STILL HAVE THE SCAR FROM THE AIR BAG BURN, AND THE EMOTIONAL REMINDER FROM THE BURN OF THAT AIR BAG KNOWING THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING DONE IS A JUST HORRIBLE!

PURSUANT TO RECALL NOTICE ISSUED BY AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. (DATED JULY 2015) REGARDING DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG INFLATOR, THE REFERENCED VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER WHERE AT THE REPLACEMENT DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG INFLATOR WAS INSTALLED. FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON MOST OF THE TIME. SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF AFTER STARTING BUT THEN COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. IT'S NOT ONLY DISTRACTING, BUT FRIGHTENING NOT KNOWING WHETHER THE INFLATOR WILL DETONATE. IT'S ALSO UNNERVING HAVING TO DRIVE WITHOUT AN AIRBAG SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL. CAN WE HAVE THE OLD INFLATOR PUT BACK IN, AT LEAST THERE WOULD BE A FUNCTIONING AIR BAG SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

WESTMINSTER, CO 80234) ADVISED ME THE CAR WAS READY TO PICK UP AND THE SAFETY RECALL WAS COMPLETE...THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I POINTED THIS OUT TO THE DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THEY MADE THE REPAIR, BUT THEY WILL CHARGE ME TO TURN THE LIGHT OFF (AN ADDITIONAL $99 FOR AN ALLEGED NO CHARGE SAFETY RECALL). THE WARNING LIGHT ADVISES THE DRIVER THE VEHICLE IS SAFE, OR NOT SAFE. RIGHT NOW THE LIGHT ADVISES THE DRIVE THE REPAIR IS NOT COMPLETE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE REPAIR WAS DONE TO SAFETY STANDARD WITH THE LIGHT STILL ILLUMINATED.

ON 7/21/15 I TOOK MY HONDA TO THE DEALER AT 9213 HARFORD ROAD, 21234, FOR SAFETY RECALL 15V-320 & 370, AND IT WAS REPAIRED. THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND THEY SCANNED FOR CODE AND SAID THAT THE SRS UNIT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. A REPAIR PRICE WAS QUOTED OF $735. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND OUT THAT MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE QUITE UPSET OVER THIS SAFETY MALFUNCTION. I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ASKING FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE IN COVERING THE COST OF REPAIR OR "LIFETIME" WARRANTY COVERAGE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MAINTENANCE OF MY VEHICLE WHICH HAS ONLY 64,000 MILES. A REP RESPONDED BY PHONE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE CAR WAS "OLD." WHETHER THE CAR IS OLDER OR NEW, THIS IS STILL A "SAFETY" PROBLEM THAT MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE HONDA COMPANY OR THE NHTSA. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE ME A CODE NUMBER AFTER THE SCAN SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT WAS CORRECT. I REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE IN CHECKING OUT THE SAFETY ISSUE ON THE SRS UNITS IN THE HONDA ACCORD. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS BEEN HURT BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION, BUT IT COULD HAPPEN. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RECALL AND ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING THE UNIT, IF THAT IS THE CAUSE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE NOT HAD MANY PROBLEMS OUTSIDE OF A FEW RECALLS. I PLAN TO KEEP IT AS IT IS NOT IN MY BUDGET TO ACQUIRE A NEW VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. SAFETY OF HONDA VEHICLE OR ANY VEHICLE IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE IN THEIR MARKETING.

I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALER PULLED UP HONDA RECALLS FOR 2003 HONDA ACCORDS AND ADVISED US TO TAKE THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER. WE THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO HONDA OF TURNERSVILLE. THEY INFORMED US THAT HONDA DID HAVE A RECALL BUT IT DID NOT PERTAIN TO THIS VIN#. SERIOUSLY???? I GOT AN ESTIMATE FROM THEM TO REPAIR WHICH WAS $3890.00 BUT THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT DUE THE LIABILITY. WE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY SENT AN INSPECTOR OUT 8 DAYS LATER. THE INSPECTOR SENT HIS REPORT TO CORPORATE AND THEY INFORMED US THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT DEFECTIVE. REALLY? SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE WE HAVE TRAVELLED A TOTAL 0F 429 MILES AND NOW IT APPEARS THAT WE ARE OUT THE $5,000.OO THAT WE SPENT FOR THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE NO CAR.

I PURCHASED MY 2003 ACCORD BRAND NEW FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP. IN 2004 THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX A DEFECT WITH SECOND GEAR IN THE TRANSMISSION. MY CAR WAS FIXED UNDER THE RECALL (OR SO I THOUGHT). I HAVE BEEN HAVING CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH SECOND GEAR SLIPPING. IN OTHER WORDS WHEN THE CAR IS IN SECOND GEAR IT FEELS LIKE ITS IN NEUTRAL BECAUSE YOU STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CAR TO SHIFT AGAIN. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN OR WHERE IT WILL HAPPEN. ON 11/17/14 I WAS TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. I MADE A LEFT TURN TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE SECOND GEAR SLIPPED. MY CAR WAS STUCK UNDER A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGED FROM GREEN TO RED. ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING MY VEHICLE AT 65-70MPH. I WAS ALMOST BROAD SIDED. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST HONDA FOR THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT JUST FOR ME BECAUSE I OWN THE CAR, BUT FOR ANYONE WHO IS OPERATING A VEHICLE ON THE ROADWAYS. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT. I ALSO HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. SO I HAVE 2 PROBLEMS, THE DEFECT WITH THE TRANSMISSION PUTS ME AT A HIGHER RISK FOR GETTING INTO AND ACCIDENT. IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG GOES OFF, I COULD BE INJURED AND/OR KILLED BY THE AIRBAG. HOW CAN HONDA GET AWAY WITH THIS? *TR

I AM CONCERNED THAT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE IS NOT BEING PROPERLY COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC. THE MEDIA REPORTING BASED ON NHTSA'S RECALL NOTICES STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT THE RECALL ONLY AFFECTED VEHICLES IN 13 SOUTHERN STATES WITH HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN COLORADO AND CURRENTLY RESIDE AND DRIVE IN CALIFORNIA. NEITHER OF THOSE STATES IS ON THE LIST OF 13. I CONTACTED HONDA, BECAUSE NHTSA'S NOTICE WAS NOT CLEAR, AND THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE NHTSA RECALL INFORMATION HAS RESULTED IN A CYCLE OF NEWS REPORTING THAT MISLEADS THE PUBLIC INTO BELIEVING THAT THEIR VEHICLE IS FINE AND NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL UNLESS THEIR VEHICLE IS IN ONE OF THE 13 STATES. THIS NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED TO A MUCH GREATER DEGREE. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING, AS I CALLED FOR SERVICE AFTER WORK I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND IT DID GO INTO GEAR. I DROVE IT TO THE PLACE FOR SERVICE BUT HAVING TO STOP AND LET CAR COOL DOWN A COUPLE TIMES ON THE WAY THERE. THEY TOLD ME IT'S THE TRANSMISSION AND WILL NEED A NEW ONE, OR HAVE IT REPAIRED. NOW I'M AWARE OF MANY 2003 ACCORDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS! I'VE OWNED 4 HONDA CARS AND ALL FROM BRAND NEW VEHICLES AND NEVER A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ONE OTHER TIME OF NOT GOING INTO GEAR, BUT IT CAME OUT OF IT AFTER IT WAS COOLED AND SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS, SO NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL NOW.

BUT KNOW, WHEN THE PART DOES COME IN, THEY WILL CHARGE CORPORATE. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I CALLED CORPORATE BACK THEIR RECORDS SHOW THEY DID IN FACT CHARGE FOR A REPAIR TO MY AUTOMOBILE THAT NEVER TOOK PLACE. I WAS TOLD BY CORPORATE THAT THERE WAS NO ONE THAT COULD DO THE REPAIR BUT THE DEALERSHIP. I SAID; "I HAVE SOMEONE WHO I KNOW IS HONEST AND HAS WORKED ON HONDA AUTOMOBILES FOR OVER 20 YEARS. WOULD YOU JUST SEND ME THE NEW PART AND LET HIM REPLACE IT? SHE SAID; "NO! WE WILL HAVE AN ARBITRATOR WORK WITH YOU AND THE DEALERSHIP. NO WAY!

INTERMITTENTLY THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN STARTING CAR AND REMAINS ON. MAY STAY OFF FOR A MONTH OR JUST A FEW DAYS AND THEN IT GOES ON AGAIN.

SINCE THE PURCHASE I'VE EXPERIENCED CONTINUAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP I WAS ASSURED ALL WAS FINE. YOU CAN IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE TRANSMISSION RECALL (NHTSA 04V176000). UPON REPAIR, IN SEPTEMBER 2004, I DID NOT NOTICE REPAIR IMPROVEMENT, AND CONTINUED TO DETECT THE ROUGH GRIND OF TRANSMISSION SHIFT AND A WHINING SOUND. IN 2009 I EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE TO WHICH I HAD SOUGHT REPAIR. IN DECEMBER 2010 I EXPERIENCED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE JUST NOW EXPERIENCED MY 3RD TRANSMISSION FAILURE, JULY 2011. MY POWER STEERING PUMP HAD ALWAYS HAD A FAINT WHINE, BUT HONDA SERVICES NEVER IDENTIFIED IT AS CONCERNING. THE PROBLEM PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORSE UNTIL HONDA FINALLY SUGGESTED A REPAIR, BUT INFORMED ME THAT THE COMPONENT WAS THEN OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD BE A COSTLY REPAIR. I DECIDED TO DELAY REPAIR UNTIL JUNE 2011. AC PROBLEMS MANIFESTED IN SEPTEMBER 2005 AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT IN APRIL 2008. MY CENTER COUNCIL CLOCK AND TEMPERATURE DISPLAY HAS BEEN FLICKERING, DIMMED, AND ABSENT SINCE 2009. THE INTERLOCK STUCK ISSUE FIRST MATERIALIZED IN 2008 AND SERVICED IN JULY 2010. MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ACTIVE SINCE 2008 WITH AN OCCASIONAL BUT REPETITIVE TCS ALERT; AND MY HEADLAMP GLASS HAS BEEN HAZED SINCE 2005. THE PAINT DETERIORATION IS RIDICULOUSLY EMBARRASSING, THE LEATHER SEATING BEGAN SHOWING WEAR 2 YEARS IN, MY SEATBELT DOESN'T RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL RELEASED POSITION, HEAD LINER HAS WATER LEAK STAINS, CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING, EXPOSED WIRING IS VISIBLE AT THE DRIVER DOOR HINGE, I'VE GONE THROUGH 3 BATTERIES, COUNTLESS TIRES, ONE CRACKED WINDSHIELD, AND I HAVE ALWAYS SUFFER FROM POOR RADIO RECEPTION AND OCCASIONAL NAVIGATIONAL SIGNAL ROAMING ISSUES.

THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AT LEAST 6 DIFFERENT TIMES REQUIRING A VISIT TO THE DEALER EACH TIME. IN EACH CASE THE PROBLEM RECURRED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS TO A FEW MONTHS FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. NO COLLISIONS WERE EVER INVOLVED. NO BAGS EVER DEPLOYED PREMATURELY. EACH TIME WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THEY CLEARED THE DTC CODE AND TEST DROVE IT. THAT WAS $90.00 PLUS TAX. THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON AGAIN FOR SOME WEEKS LATER. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK AGAIN ON 11/14/2008 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER SEAT BELT AT NO CHARGE UNDER WARRANTY. A MONTH LATER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WE TOOK THE CAR BACK IN ON 12/12/2008. THEY CLEARED THE CODE FOR ANOTHER $90.00 PLUS TAX. BACK AGAIN ON 12/03/2009; SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME THE BLAMED IT ON A SEAT BELT TENSIONER AND REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. BACK AGAIN ON 5/31/2010. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BUCKLE AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY. AND FINALLY BACK AGAIN ON 6/20/2011, THIS TIME NOT ONLY HAVING THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY SAY THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF OVER $4000 PLUS TAX. I'VE FILED A SEPARATE COMPLAINT FOR THAT. I SEE ONLINE THAT THERE ARE A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SRS LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION AND MANY OTHER PROBLEMS. I SEE THAT THE SRS AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE. WE ARE NO LONGER DRIVING IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE ASAP.

THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR-END COLLISION OVER TWO YEARS AGO, AND NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT ABOUT THE SRS LIGHT, WHERE TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC TESTS WERE RUN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE TECH'S RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM ONE OF THE TESTS INDICATING THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS OVERCOMPRESSED. I WAS INFORMED THAT AIRBAGS WERE CONSIDERED A LUXURY ITEM ON A VEHICLE, AND WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY LIKE SEATBELTS ARE. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT IF THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN ANY CRASH WHILE THAT LIGHT WAS ON, THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WOULD FAIL SUDDENLY WITHOUT BEING THE RESULT OF AN IMPACT. I WAS TOLD THAT WITH PARTS AND LABOR, I WOULD BE CHARGED ALMOST ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO HAVE THIS PART (THE AIR BAG INFLATER) REPLACED AND INSTALLED. AIR BAGS ARE COMMON SAFETY FEATURES ON CARS AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A LUXURY FEATURE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAPPENED, AND WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX WITH AN ERRATIC SRS LIGHT. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR REPAIR. 1ST TIME: COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE LIGHT WENT OUT. 2ND TIME: THEY HAD THE CAR 2 DAYS AND REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT TENSIONER. THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED BUT THEN THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT SHOWED SRS CODES 22-8 (A SHORT) AND 51-2. THEY RULED OUT THE SHORT AND ARE SAYING BY THE PROCESS OF ELIMINATION THE SRS UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED FOR $411. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS BASED ON WHAT I'VE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WHAT CAN I DO NOW? *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS DUE TO AN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG INFLATER AS WELL AS A THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH.

THE LIGHT CAME ON THE NEXT DAY THAT I DROVE MY CAR AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC FEE. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY MODEL, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. P.S.

THE MANUAL INSTRUCTS THE OWNER TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSIS WHICH WILL COST $95.00. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE?

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THE IDLE ALWAYS SEEMED TOO FAST. EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED THE CAR APPEARED TO WANT TO GO AHEAD ON ITS OWN WHETHER IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. MY PARENTS HAD REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHO TOLD MY MOTHER SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AND ASKED MY FATHER IF HE BOUGHT GAS AT A LOCAL INDIAN RESERVATION INSINUATING IT WAS CHEAP GAS THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. MY FATHER STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE HE FELT HE COULD NOT CONTROL IT BECAUSE IT WAS TOO FAST. I DROVE THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND ALWAYS FELT I COULD NOT CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE CAR. ON THE DATE NOTED PRIOR TO THE CRASH MY MOTHER WAS AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED RED SHE HAD TO USE BOTH FEET TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. PRIOR TO THE CRASH SHE WAS ENTERING A PARKING LOT AND HAD TAKEN HER FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO PULL-UP IN FRONT OF A BUILDING. HER FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED-JUMPED A CURB CROSSED OVER A FLOWERBED AND ONLY STOPPED WHEN IT HIT A BRICK RETAINING WALL. MY MOTHER TRIED PRESSING THE BRAKE AS HARD AS SHE COULD AND HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR JUST KEPT THE MOMENTUM GOING UNTIL IT HIT THE RETAINING WALL. WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A STOP, BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY FATHER WHO WAS THE FRONT-SEAT PASSENGER WAS BADLY INJURED BREAKING SEVERAL RIBS, REQUIRING SURGERY AND MONTHS OF HOSPITALIZATION. HE IS NOW NON-AMBULATORY AND STILL RECOVERING. MY MOTHER WAS ALSO BADLY BRUISED AND COULD NOT SPEAK FOR WEEKS BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG HITTING HER SO HARD. WE REQUESTED THAT THE POLICE INVESTIGATE IF THE ACCELERATOR HAD STUCK AND TO CHECKOUT THE MECHANICS OF THE CAR AND NEVER RECEIVED A REPORT. BASICALLY, THEY BLAMED MY MOTHER BECAUSE OF HER AGE.

AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO BOTH AUTO WEST HONDA AND HONDA MOTORS, I WAS INFORMED THAT AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A WARRANTEE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE TOWING WOULD BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
