2001 honda accord - vehicle not listed on the recalls list, but the srs warning light will not go off
2001 accord ex v6 drove over a pot hole at about 35 mph and srs light went on.taking it to a dealer seems, from all other complaints, to be ineffective but costly.
I took my car in for the air bag recall and 9 month later the srs light came on and it's been on ever since. I called the dealership the did the air bag replacement and they told me that i have to pay $150 just for a diagnosis of what the problem can be..

Vehicle is a 2001 honda accord ex with 3.0 liter v-6 engine. Srs light on dash came on. I have been told that this means that the air bags will not deploy in an accident. I have also been told that the dealer charges $1300 to replace the srs module - which i do not have. Why isn't this safety feature covered under warranty?
Air bag srs indicator light came on and stays on. I learned through owners on the internet concerning past problems with air bags and difficulty at honda dealerships on this problem. Upon contacting honda customer service, they informed me that my vin number is not covered by the extended warranty of 10 years or 150,000 miles. I feel that this is a very serious defect, do to the air bags will not deploy on impact while the srs light is on. My 2001 honda has 84,000 miles and purchased it june of 2003.
While driving at 55 mph vehicle was invovled in a head on collision andair bags did not deploy. Vehicle was totalled.

I received the honda accord recall information mailer during the summer 2009 from honda corporation.i quickly called my neighborhood honda dealer and inquired about the recall.i was told they needed to order the necessary parts and i would be called when the parts were available- about 1 weeks time.yesterday (february 9th, 2010) i received a call from honda that there was an expanded recall and additional honda vehicles were recalled for the same problem with the airbags.this message reminded me that i had never heard back from sussex honda regarding the recall from the summer-time.i wanted to file a complaint that the local honda dealership had failed to address the recall in a timely manner.this could have lead to injury or death to me, members of my young family and the public at large.
The contact owned a 2001 honda accord. While driving at 40 mph making a right turn, the contact believed the tie rod fractured and was unable to control the steering.

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.

Airbag light turns on periodically
I just wonder how long do i get a recall for airbag. I have honda accord 2001 for a little over a year. Last time i received a recall was last year; sometime in summer. Recently, srs light came on, so i wonder how often am i suppose to receive a recall. Thank you.
Air bag light illuminated on 8/10/2003. Dealer stated cell phone causedfront and side air bags to deactivate. Dealerurged the consumer not to use the cell phone in the vehicle.also, manufacturer isaware of the problem.
My 2001 accord ex constantly displays an illuminated srs light on the dashboard.the system has been checked several times and i have been told there is no problem with it.rather, i'm told that it is sensitive to cell phones, driver positioning, etc. And other wise need not be repaired. In the meantime, the air bags are deactivated in a vehicle that i purchased to provide safety for my daughter who recently applied for her driver's license.i found roughly 60 complaints about this same issue on this website.people like myself are very concerned and spending a considerable amount of time and money on a safety issue that should be considered a warranty matter.i don't understand why honda is not being held accountable for this obvious defect.

2001 honda accord v6 ex. The car was at dealer for some service. Upon return, srs light came on. Went back to dealer, was told battery needs changing. Changed battery and reset srs. Was ok for a couple of days and srs light came back on. Back to dealer where was told that opds needs changing @almost $500. Reset the opds and srs light. Light stayed off for a week and came back on. Have seenmany web posting with same problem and changing opds does not resolve issue.i believe this is a safety issue that honda needs to take care of. I don't want to spend $500 where they are not really sure if it will fix the problem.8jb

I will only be in houston next week 9/5 to 9/10.the know this and they don't care. The notice i go says "urgent safety recall notice" airbags have ruptured and killed and injured drivers---why do they want me to drive such vehicle to dealer? do i have to wait to get injured or someone to get killed taking the car to be fixed for honda to take action? please help me!!! as it is we'll have a rental during our trip- i was no even asking honda for help paying the rental, since i have to drive the car to the dealer [the car that can kill me] for them to give me a rental.

An airbag recall repair was done on my car.several months later my srs light came on.when i brought it to dealer they said that my srs housing and unit needed to be replaced at a cost of $700 dollars.this car has never been in an accident and has only 45,000 miles on it.upon investigating, i have come across many other owners of this model where the same thing occurred.i believe this is a defect in the honda airbag system and should be repaired at no cost.how can it need to be replaced when never used, unless it is defective or they broke it while fixing the recall problem
To honda corporationre: recall departmenton june 19 2014 i was driving my 2001 honda accord coupe when i was suddenly hit by a delivery truck who was trying to make an illegal left turn in front of me. My car was total. The front side and passenger side of my car are totally demolished. The irony of it all is that, the front and the side air bag failed to deploy.and as the result i was severely injured without the protection of the air bag. On march 2015 which is almost a year after my accident i received an air bag recall letter from honda corporation. I should have received the warning and recall letter before my accident which is june 19 20014. Honda corporation is responsible for my injuries for making a defaulted air bag and failed to warn me about the situation before my accident.i am asking the maker of honda to pay for my outstanding medical bills which is incurred due to the accident. I still have my honda.honda corporation refuse to reply to my letter.that's why i am making this complaint to the honda corporationtruly[xxx] vin unavailableinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Srs indicator light has come on and will not go off. This is a honda accord v6 with only 40,000 miles on it.to get it diagnosed it is $100.00.
Srs light (supplemental safety restraints...air bags) stays on all the time on my 2001 honda accord.air bags should be warranted for life of car, i would think, but honda dealers keep blowing me off.i see on internet that many other 2001 hondas have had same problem.
Srs light on, based on the information available to me i believe the airbags will fail to deploy when the srs light is illuminated. Honda does not cover the repair as they feel airbags are a secondary safety feature, however the fact that it had airbags and a good safety rating played a large part in my decision to purchase the 2001 accord.if manufacturers are going to exploit positive safety reviews i feel they should cover them for the life of the vehicle so long as the fault is detected by a manufacturer installed on board computer, i.e. Srs light on. My wife and two kids are the primary occupants of this vehicle, it is important to me that the safety features are functional.
Vehicle was traveling at approximately 45 mph, rear ended a vehicle stopped in traffic to make a left hand turn. Vehicle sustained heavy front end damage front passenger side of vehicle.air bags failed to deploy.

Took in our 2001 honda accord to have drivers side air bag recall work done.srs warning light went out, but came back on in a week. Cookeville honda said this time it was the passenger side airbag, not a recall item, just a frequent problem that would have been covered by warranty, but our car has over 157,000 miles.if it is a problem and is a safety issue, shouldn't they have to fix it regardless of the mileage?
Takata recall? - side airbag light on dashboard has been going on/off while driving.i don't see a specific recall for this airbag; has one been listed?vehicle has not be in an accident; low mileage (36,000) as it was driven by an elderly relative in florida before i purchased one year ago.used mostly for local trips; minimal highway driving.

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).i wish to file this report with the national highway traffic safety administration to document such a lethargic response on the part of the american honda motor co., inc. In regard to this important safety recall.
Hello i recently bought a 2001 honda accord and was not made aware that this year make and model have had such problems that a recall was made. I wax not made aware of the grave problem this year car faced and am not recieving the help i need from honda. This issue puts myself and my family at risk.
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. So if i do get into an accident due to these defects being faulty to begin with don't say i didn't try and get help.
My son had an accident while driving my 2001 honda accord.the driver airbag did not deploy, but the passenger airbag did deploy, even though there was not a passenger in the vehicle.also, the seat belts locked up.the accident was on 12-2-06 and i have tried two different dealerships to find out why the driver airbag did not deploy.they will not give me an explaination and they will not fix the seatbelts until i replace the airbags, which i cannot afford.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated. The contact called honda of escondido at (760) 737-3200 (located at 1700 auto park way, escondido, ca 92029). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to the fee. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 230,000.
Srs light came on for no reason.
From the time that i have owned this vehicle i have had to taken it to two different dealerships( sam swope honda world and bob montgomery honda) concerning the airbag warning light. This vehicle has been the shop 8 different times for this same problem they always do a quick fix and within a couple of months the problem recurs. The airbag lights light comes on like the system is still deactivated. The last time i had it in the shop on 3/1/04 at bob montgomery within hours of getting the car back the light was back on.
After starting my 2001 honda accord the srs light came on and will not stay off. This light indicates that the air bags will not deploy in a major collision. I went to my dealer and spoke with the maintenance supervisor and he indicated that this was a very common problem with this model of automobile. He also said that honda does not have a recall or extended warranty for this problem. Reading the internet chat rooms shows that there are hundreds of people with this same problem. 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. Please look into this and have honda take responsibility for this problem and give some relief to all the owners of this model automobile.
Srs warning light turned on 3 times within first year of purchase (jul. 01)the dealership gave an excuse that cell phone chargers will set it off.within 2 years it turned on another 2 times and has stayed on ever since.talked to another dealership and they said a cell phone charger should in no way cause that light to turn on. Turned to first dealership with this reply and they said since the warranty is up they would not do anything about it and still had no other reason it should be on.the date listed is the day a second dealership was confronted and first dealership confronted.was referred by employee at a seperate repair shop.
While driving home from work i noticed the cover in the steering wheel, which covers the air bag became elevated approx 2 inches on one side. I took it to my local honda dealer and they said it was not under any recall but advised i get it fixed. (cost $ 971.00) i took it home to decide what i was going to do. I was too afraid to drive it (the feeling of having a loaded gun pointed at my face. I have just had catarack surgery and if the bag went off in my face i could be left blind). After one week of it sitting in my garage i decided to get it fixed. I paid the amount. I have registered this complaint/concern with honda case #[xxx] regarding the takata air bag. They told me that should my car become part of the recall i would be reimbursed. - thank youinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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. I took my car into a honda dealership twice for airbag recalls and my airbag light is still lit on my dashboard. Overall, i feel as if these issues are safety hazards and i feel stuck in a horrible situation with no help from the manufacture.
Srs light came on for no apparent reason. There are many honda car owners with the same problem.it's been on for about 6 months or 2k miles.
Transmission failure to shift into 2nd gear some times. Car taken to dealer on extended warranty and refused maintenance due to age of car..many honda's having this problem and need a recall to resolve this issue as it shouldn't happen. Second problem is driver seat belt. Air bags replaced on recall and shortly after the srs light came on. Dealer says problem not in air bags but driver seat belt module in seat buckle. Seat belt warranty for life of vehicle but honda says the buckle where switch is not covered. You can not replace switch but must buy the complete seat belt strap and buckle. To me the seat belt buckle-strap is part of the seat belt. Honda warranty says a seat belt that fails to function properly is covered for the useful life of the vehicle. This is a safety problem as with this failure honda manual says air bags will not fire when srs light on.

My srs light is on at all times in my 2001 honda accord.i took it to a honda dealership in june, 2005.i was told that when the srs light is on, my air bag system is inoperable and air bags will not deploy on impact.dealership inspection found a code for seat belt buckle switch/sensor causing the srs light.the buckle set has been special ordered and has not arrived after one month.in the meantime, i drive around with my srs light on and no airbags.why are there so many complaints about this same issue on the nhtsa website?does this issue need to be addressed as a possible recall?so many of the complaints regarding this same issue are with no resolution.so far i have no resolution.i did not buy a car with no air bags.i want to feel confident my air bags will do their job should i be in an accident.they have saved my life in the past.if you have this same issue, i encourage you to file a complaint.

Srs light.thisinvolves airbag system on 2001 honda accord ex. This will not allow airbags to deploy in a case of an accident.this was not repair by dealer, because they said we need to replace it and i believe it should be a manufactured recall by honda. This should be repaired by honda, not by owner of vehicle.
The airbag indicator on the dashboard comes on and stays on for no apparent reason. After a while it goes off on its own. Sometimes it will come on and off intermittently. I had this problem since i bought the car brand new. I took it to crystal lake honda, crystal lake, ileven before the one year warranty expired and they said they could not see anything wrong with it. The problem still persists. Today i was going through the complaints on this site and was shocked to see 20 complaints related to either this same exact problem or the fact that the airbags either did not deploy during accident or deployed un-necessarily. I hope honda does something about this. I bought a honda accord over a competing model because this one had side airbags. Now after reading how the airbags do not deploy i am upset. Let me know if there is a fix to this problem and what i can tell the dealer.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. Immediately after the vehicle was started, it suddenly accelerated. The vehicle failed to stop when the brakes were applied which caused it to crash into a fire hydrant. The air bag failed to deploy when the crash occurred.

The insurance company confirmed that the vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on april 20, 2010 for recall 10v041000, air bag.

First of all i'm the original owner. Ive had my srsdashlight come on in the pastand honda replaced my seat belt buckle and honda had covered the repair on this .the light came on again recently andwhen 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 asafety recall because it can definitely be a contributing factor to a fatality in the event of a serious accident .
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.
Srs light continues to stay on while driving.. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined that the vehicle needed a new opds unit switch which is located under the passenger seat and controls the air bags.the dealer contacted the manufacturer to see if the part was covered and was told that only the srs unit and cable reels were covered.the consumer did not have the repairs made because she believes the manufacturer should be financially responsible.
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.
2001 honda accord srs light remains on.service dept. Said car is "safe" to drive."good news is that the airbags won't deploy when you are driving around.the bad news is that the airbags won't deploy in an accident."my research shows that honda is not concerned about consumers with this issue.there is no type of warranty coverage and it is a very expensive fix with marginal results (likely to recur).i should think that seat belts and airbags would have a lifetime warranty.
Air bags are stitched up on the sides.*mr
While starting the vehicle, the srs light appears on the dashboard permanently until vehicle is turned off.dealership is aware of the problem. *scc

After we received the letter from the honda division, we feel that the vehicle is too unsafe to drive. Our question is a short one. Who is responsible for the charges to tow this vehicle to our local dealer?thank you in advance for considering this question
My honda 2001 accord ex starts to show srs light on.searching the internet, many people have the same problem for no apparent reason.this is a big safety issue.the car is under 60000 miles.honda should have a recall on this car.
Recall results states a recall was issued june 19,2014.we have never received a recall on this and have lived in the same residence for over 25 years.at one time, my "side passenger airbag alert" light was staying on.honda supposedly fixed the issue.but driver's side airbag was never corrected to my knowledge.
When im drivingmy srs light comes on occasionally, i havent had any accidents so i dont know if they will deploy, it seems that a fair amount of hondas have this problem, and for what ive seen they cant get repaired. I have a 2001 ex v6
Two recall were done and i still have airbag warning light.i belive something was not done properly.i don't feel safe driving.i receive a latter from takata sefety recall but unintentionaly i didn keep it.ii would like to know who send it to me and can you resend again so i can drive and be safe.thank you
I have a 2001 honda accord.my srs light has been on and my horn does not work.according to nhtsa defect investigation #pe05043, "in march 2006, honda issued a service bulletin (06-009) to extend the warranty on srs illumination and opds issues to 10 years or 150,000 miles "my current mileage is 86,000 miles and we have owned the vehicle for less than 10 years.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?today, the maintenance dept at sf honda suggested that the horn was connected to the airbag electronic sensors and that if i wanted to fix the problem, that no part of service would be covered under warranty.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 thinkit'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.thank you for your time and commitment to safety.

Honda case # [xxx]**i have removed the airbag module from the steering wheel for the interim.honda of america(hoa) is refusing to cooperate with me in regards to the safety recall notice for the driver side steering wheel airbag inflator-- nhtsa recall 14v-351.contacted hoa at 1-888-234-2138 on march 19th, 2015. I asked if i could take the airbag module/assembly to the dealer and have the airbag inflator replaced while it is off the vehicle. I advised hoa i do not wish to take my vehicle to the dealer, only the airbag module itself. Hoa advised "no".i asked for further review, by"case review", of my request and to be contacted via letter because i do not wish to provide my telephone number. As of may 19th, 2015 i have not received any communication/letter from hoa. Called hoa again on may 19th, 2015 and was advised they will not send aletter.they wish to contact me by phone. As of may 19th, 2015, i advised hoa i will no longer be contacting them and asked the hoa representative to advise the case reviewer that i will simply not have the recall performed and will leave the airbag module off the steering wheel/vehicle.i have reviewed, to the best of my ability, local, state and federal law regarding safety recalls and can find no law that states i must abide by the manufacturers guidelines for replacing safety devices. It is my understanding that a manufacturer must replace the defective safety device regardless and should make every effort to assist the owner in performing safety recalls.please contact me via letter -- i will not provide my telephone number, email, etc. As it is not required by local, state or federal law.

2001 honda accord is experiencing persistent problems with srs light.*mrthe consumer is concerned that the air bags may not deploy during an accident.
I have a 2001 honda civic for which there was an airbag recall but the dealer won't fix the defect for free.
Nthsa recall number: 14v351000was told this is not for my car but shows up on the app.
1. Recurrent problem with intermittent flashing of side airbag light since 11/2000.took it to dealer and module/sensor was replaced but problem recurred in less than 3 months.2. Also has problem with srs light.it was flashing periodically but it has been on constantly since 02/2005. Honda dealer service advisor felt the cause is leaning on side of seat but problem persists when i am not touching side/edge of seat.
The contact owned a 2001 honda accord. While driving 60 mph, the air bag independently deployed. As a result, the vehicle struck the guard rail and caused the passenger side air bag to deploy. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard and deemed destroyed. The collision resulted in one injury; however, no medical attention was required. A police report was filed. The vin was invalid. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Srs light came up recently. Diagnostics test showed that there is some issue with the airbags and they won't be deployed correctly. So i have to replace them and its not covered by honda warranty. I have to replace this for safety reasons and this is going to cost me a lot of money.
Srs light coming on
Srs light come on for no reason, paid a mechanic to reset the light.3 month later it come on again, paid again to reset it.
The srs light has been coming on since i bought the car new in 2001.it was fixed several times covered under warranty and once by some recall.now i don't have a warranty and it has been on for about 8 months and honda wants to charge me to fix it.
There was no repaired made.

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.take it to a dark room turn the car on and guess what, you will replicate the problem.i'mverydisappointed in honda.after reading all these complaints, i am no longer a loyal customer.i willl look to buy a hyundai, they want the business!

1.purchased a new 2001 accordand the air bag lights would come on and off.returned car to dealership three times w/o corrective action.finally told that the tecnology is sensitive and nothing can be done.2.on 11/27/04 i was in an accident.another car came through an intersection and i hit the car broadside at approximately 35 mph.i hit with the passenger front corner and extending to the midsection of the front of the car.air bags did not deploy! both vehicles had to be towed, police report filed and minor property damage.

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.
Several months ago the srs light came on in my 2001 honda accord for no reason.i was not in an accident and there were no other reasons for the light to come on.now i don't have airbags so i hope that i am not in an accident in the future.i was told it would cost about $800 to fix this problem.

Srs light comes on. Problem with air bags. I've heard that honda has a life time warranty on seat belts and not the air bag system. They should cover the srs(air bags) also. I've heard the srs is a common problem with 2001 honda accords.
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.
The srs light turned on last week at 75000 miles, and i know that it is related to the airbag restraint system. My husband had the same problemcouple of years ago , and the dealer told him that the use of cellophane may have caused the system to malfunction. The dealer fixed it for free because the car was still under the 36000 mile warranty. After doing some investigation i found out that this problemwas very common for the 2001 models. I also found out that this problemwas very costly andwas no longer under warranty. I got into a car accident in march2007, the front end of my car slid into a snow bank, and i am thankful that the damage was not major. The air bags never deployed . Thesrs light turned on a couple of weeks after the accident, and i was not sure if i ever had any protection at the time of the accident, since the airbags never deployed. Now every time i get into my car i am very nervous because my life behind the wheel of this hondawas at stake. I do not have any money to buy another car or fix get the current issue.honda should issue a recall on this!! peoples liveswere in danger when theywere on the road, and this should not be taken lightly by anyone. I am a mother,a wife, a sister, and a daughter. My lifehas value. Please look into this. Thank you .

Had recall install done last summer. Nor are light came on.
I own 2 honda(accord ex 1996, accord lx 2001)on both of them and for no obvious reason the srs (airbag) light started coming on and off sporadically until lately stated on for ever.the airbag on both cars has never been deployed.the dealercharge$90 per vehicle just for diagnosing the problem.
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
Tamara recall my son was killed in a car accident in his 2001 honda accord. His injuries were ruptured liver and spleen he was in emergency surgery for 6 hours before he passed away. The inside of his car wasn't damaged that much. It seems to me to sustain those injuries were probably the air bag didn't inflat properly.
While driving the vehicle had a side collision, neitherair bags deployed.dealer has been notified.please include additional information.*mr

Takata recall
My honda accord 2001 srs light on.this is the second time.i did not received any recalled noticed,when i called honda, they told me it expired a few day. I did not notice the srs light was onwhile driving a short distance.when i found out, i called the honda and they told me the warranty was over for a few days.they expected you to called them on sunday eventhough, they open only on weekday.
Srs light is on. I have been told honda accord 2001 will activate the srs light by the use of cell phone or laptop preventing the air bags from deploying in case of a accident. I the light is on the system will not respond in case of a accident. I consider this a safety issue between dead y live. A recall should be done by honda to correctall cars affected. I really don't have $700.00 dollars to get this fix.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the driver's and passenger's side curtain air bag warning lights illuminated intermittently while driving. The vehicle was taken to round rock honda (2301 n interstate hwy 35, round rock, tx 78664, 512-942-0939) for a previous air bag recall repair after which the side curtain air bags warning light started to illuminate intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.
At about 683 miles, srs light went on after passenger sat down (car was standing with engine idling).dealer reset computer after finding code 15-3.3 days later, the srs light came back on also immediately after passenger was seated with car engine on.dealer was contacted and i waited about one week while dealer ordered possible replacement parts.none of the new parts including sensor fixed the problem, so original parts were left in the vehicle.i was told the original parts were already updated by honda (because honda was aware of this problem and had already made changes to parts in some vehicles).dealer reset computer again, but srs light reappeared the next day while i was driving with no passenger in the car.dealer says they can do nothing else, that the manufacturer knows about the problem but cannot fix it.service manager said honda's working on the problem and therefore i must now deal exclusively with the manufacturer.dealer says only passenger air bags are affected but it is not clear how they know this.in the meantime, i have been told that the passenger airbag will not deploy in the event of a crash.i am very concerned about this for all airbags in the car, and also about possible inadvertent deployment.i am very disappointed about the lack of concern both by dealer and manufacturer about potential injuries that may result from this defect and the fact that a solution is not imminent.
Srs light appears onpanel untilvehicle is turned off. Dealership is aware ofproblem.

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 comeson 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.if seems as if its not one thing its another.very frustrated.and now another recall.

It was missing a tire from driver side rear. Air bags didn't deploy at all as should have. It was in the middle of a curve from what i can tell and tire popped off the rim. This was in 2013.no one was with me but one person witnessed it and during my unaware period let me use their phone to call my dad. They worked as receptionist at wycliffe linguistics center.

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?

The srs light came on in my accord, make a long story short i took it to the dealer and they run a test on it. Told me that if it was the air-bag that was causing the light to come on then it would be fixed at no cost due to a safety malfunction, they run the test and it came back that it was the wires leading to the air bag but not the actual bag itself having the problem. But they told me that if the srs light was on at all the air bags would not deploy at all. So is that not a safety issue as well?
2001 honda accord. Consumer requests supplemental restraint system fixed for free *tgwon september 18, 2009 the air bag inflator was repaired free of charge under a safety recall notice. Six months later, the srs light illuminated.an independent auto shop informed the consumer a new electronic module was needed.the consumer then contacted the dealer and was told it was probably not related to the safety recall.
I was t-boned on the drivers side. The airbag deployed and metal lacerated my eyelid causing a cataract and permanent pupil damage.
Can some one can tell me how a get remplace my air bag
The srs light came on and stays on as long as the engine is on.no correction done, can't afford to pay for the parts and labor. Car is 2001 honda accord.
Takata recallhonda 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.
Honda has not responded to four requests to repair vehicle due to safety recall for airbags.
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. This should have been a recall issue, or the information should have been better communicated to the consumer.
The srs light comes on in my 2001 honda accord v6. Searching on the internet it seems as this is a common problem with this model. When the light is on the air bag will not deploy so i feel this is a safety hazard and there should be a recall to fix this problem.
Takata recall.the takata recall was fixed in dec 2015.the srs light came on constantly in july/aug 2016.called honda and they stated there were no recalls or warranty service on this item - not related to the takata recall.this is not an isolated incident - there appear to be multiple instances of the same issue (srs light illuminates following takata recall repair) in the ntsb complaint databaseand other complaints found through internet searches.honda should extend this warranty when related to airbag issues since it is a safety issue - the airbags will not work when srs system fails. They seem to have a lot of problems related to airbags.
On 26th october 2007, friday, it was raining heavily in new jersey. When i arrived at work, the car was fine. When i started back home, the vehicle's srs light was permanently on. It still is after 4 days. Researching, i found out that this is a common occurrence in this model year of this vehicle and is very expensive to fix. Kindly take action to make sure this isn't an expensive repair for thousands of consumers given the popularity of this vehicle model. Thank you. Please see this page - http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2001/seat_belts_air_bags/srs_light_keeps_coming_on.shtml for tales of similar failure.
Takata recall. Yesterday went to coggin honda of orlando florida answering a recall letter i received from them and from honda headquater, but service was denied because car did not have original part. I am not the original owener i bought car from local seller who is not longer in business and i was not awared of problem i just mentioned. Car is still on the road, and i am requesting from honda honda headquarter to honor the recall in order for me to drive safely.

2001 honda accord v6. Consumer writes in regards to a faulty opds sensor that trigger srs.the consumer stated two months after the vehicle was purchased, the air bag light illuminated. He immediately took the vehicle to the dealer, where he was informed honda published a service bulletin on feb 5, 2088 regarding a warranty extension for a faulty opds sensor. They refused to fix the problem because the vehicle was older than 10 years old, but met the criteria which was less than 150,000. A
Takata inflators. I got claim letter but no paper showing i can take to have my recall airbags fixed
Previous airbag recall for correction was accomplished by local honda dealer on 9/24/09 - 10/02/09. Shortly thereafter the passenger side airbag indicator light started to "illuminate" whenever the front passenger seat was vacant.stays on while seat is unoccupied, but returns to "off" when seat is occupied. Returned to dealer regarding situation but dealer service person would not address the problem unless a fee of $100 was paid for a "diagnostic check". Did not pay dealer for problem that they were responsible for correcting initially so problem continues.
I reported this to your office over the phone and received a complaint number, but i lost it. This may be a duplicate report. The dealer fixed the problem; he installed a new driver airbag inflater. But: the red srs warning light still came on. I spoke to them and he said that the warning light served as a warning for several functions. 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. It should have been included in the recall at no charge.while driving, i still have that red srs red warning light. Your opinion?
I have had my 2001 honda accord for quite a few years. Every now and then, it seems if i put something on the passenger seat or just starting and driving off the srs light comes on. I have taken it to the dealership for resets quite a few times but the problem still occurs.was there ever a recall for the srs since it will not deploy air bags while the light is on?can i get this fixed through a recall or do i need to pay for the negligence by honda manufacturer? thank you
When can i expect an answer to my question?#10743472.thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
Srs light on my honda accord keeps coming on. Had it reset at honda dealership still keeps coming on. Worried airbag will not deploy when needed.

Own a honda 2001 accord exl v6, bought used at honda dealer with 27,000 miles. After 1 month srs warning light comes on brought back to dealer they replaced sensor, lasted for 11 months, light on again, dealer said some wires were shorted would definitely not come on again, at 109,000 miles lights on again !
Shortly after driver-side airbag inflater recall service, srs light came on and dealer realized driver seat belt buckle is faulty and needs to be replaced.while seat belt system should be covered by lifetime warranty, honda excluded electric switch with the buckle. Dealer told me the only time you replace the buckle is due to the electric switch inside. To me and many others complaining about the same issue, this is a honda manufacturing defects or serial safety design issue because -honda claims to cover seat belt buckle under lifetime warranty, but not the electric switch inside. And only time when the buckle needs to be replaced is when the switch goes bad.
I went to hondadealer in august 2010. I asked twice about getting my airbag repaired because of the recall. The advisor said it was already done but i received a letter in the mail in maysaying i needed a repair on the airbag. I have no knowledge of it being done ever. If it was done it would have been onmy bill.
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 now have an unsafe vehicle that is virtually worthless if i do not spend $668.98 to replace these units.
Srs light on all the time. Called 2 honda dealers, both told me that there was a 93 dollar diagnostic fee . Research reveals that there is a honda service bulletin 06-009. On page 7 it states that the inspection is free of charge even if there is not a problem with the opds system. If you have paid for repairs in the past you may be eligible for reimbursement. Honda also states, problems done after warranty expiration my be eligible for goodwill consideration by the district parts and service manager or zone office. Do not give up easily.
While operating my vehicle on the highway the driver side air bag deployed striking me in my left arm causing pain and bruising, not to mention a bit of panic. The vehicle was not involved in a collision.
The contact owned a 2001 honda accord. While driving approximately 40 mph, the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle.

The contact suffered first and second degree burns to both arms and hands that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a salvage facility. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 122,000. Updated 07/12/16*lj
Honda accord 2001 lx, 40000 miles.1. Since two months ago, srs light is constantly on.2. I understand that while srs light is 'on', driver airbag will not deploy.3. I was told by the honda dealership that this car is not covered under an extended warranty and that i will be responsible for inspection and repair of this problem.i found out that this particular problem is a common one among honda owners.it should not cost owners to inspect and repair a defect that honda is responsible for (and already aware).
My srs air bag light came on about a year ago.i though it was a glitch because it happened at around 100000 miles.someone told me recently that my air bags would not deploy with this light on so i have made an appointment to get it looked and have been told the airbag system may have to be replaced!!!!!!!!!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!
Consumer was involved in an accident where the air bag did not deploy, consumer states that the sensors are in the bumper, there was one injury in the accident.
I have a 2001 honda accord. I just read that many are being recalled due to airbag issues. Im not sure what to do to resolve this issue.

2001 accord has had srs light replaced and brakes. Srs light continued to illuminate after being replaced.the dealer replaced several parts on the vehicle.the air bag light has not illuminated since feb 2006 since the front shoulder belt buckle was replaced.. The consumer was only reimbursed $248.40 of the $835.42 repairs made to vehicle. The consumer wanted to know how did the manufacturer come up with that figure for reimbursement.updated 06/15/06.
Transmission slips and clunks when shifting from first to second gear. Srs light illuminated on dash. Side airbag light illuminates intermittently.the consumer stated the traction control light came on the dash, stating it had turned off.the consumer stated he didn't thinkmuch of it at first, but then he noticed when the brake pedal was pressed hard to the floor a even relatively low speeds, the brakes didn't respond as they hosuld.; basically the brakes were not effecgtive when having to stop suddenly. 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 amile down the road, the problem happened again.the repair shop found a a bad connection from the ebcm to the brake light switch.

I have a 2001 honda accord ex-lv6, bought used in 2002. 3 months after purchase srs light comes on. Brought to silko honda, they reset light. Light came back on. Said they had to have car for 3 days to really find problem. Left car for 3 days , repair order ststes installed s/o control unit, reset light, came back on. Then ordered and installed srs unit, reset and light is still on. They then traced wires to the control unit and found some broken wires. Fixed wires . Light out for 11 months and srs light pops up again!brought back to dealer and they fixed sam for about 4 years. 8 months ago srs light is on again!! im running out of patience with incompetent mechanics and money!
While pulling out the the driveway, vehicle sudden accelerated at a high speed. This resulted inan accident, causing minor injuries to driver.phair bags did not deploy.
Safety restraint system (srs) light came on. Took it to dealer. Code 15-3 opds asy. They reset code as per diag. Sheet. They told me to drive it and if it recodes then i will need to have the opds asy replaced. The srs light did come back on.i have search the internet and have seen many, many honda owners complain of this same problem. It is a very expensive part to replace (approx $700 for the part alone). Obviously this is a manufacturing problem with the way the car was made. Honda owners should not have to pay to have this fixed if it is a chronic problem with a lot of honda cars.
Takata recall-my srs light is been on for more than 2 weeks and my side airbag lights is also coming on and off...recently my dash lights stopped working
I own a honda accord ex v6 with nearly 40,000 miles.at times the srs light comes on until the ignition is turned off.this seems to be happening more and more.i took it back to the dealer but they said i would have to bring it back when the light is on. They could not find anything wrong via the computer memory.the manual says to bring the car in for service when the light goes on.
I don'tknow who to contact. I had a air bag re-call. I took into honda dealership to repair. Im physically disabled and in a lot of physical pain. It took them a long time just to take me over to shop and wait and then take me to house and then i had to get picked up and wait on car again etc. The air bag light was off but after a short period of time the air bag light came back on again. I cant physically go through that again. I will contact the ada but do you have any ideas as they didn't fix the problem. This is not my fault and i shouldn't suffer for their mistake. Its the same light and in the same spot. Thank you
I own a 2001 honda accord ex .the srs light has been on for several months.i have taken it to a local shop to have them try to turn it off, but they cannot.i have read several forum that state honda is clueless about trying to solve this issue and have charged customers a great deal of money to troubleshoot, but never fix the issue.honda will not admit that they have a defective system which disables the airbags, creating a life-threatening situation should i have an accident.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.while driving 40 mph, the front passenger door air bag deployed.the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they advised the contact to call the insurance company.the insurance company investigated the failure, but could not determine the reason for the deployment.a report was filed with the manufacturer and they stated that the 2001 accord was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 07v001000 (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module); therefore, they would not assist with the repair.the failure mileage was 81,000 and current mileage was 82,000.
For the past several months, i've noticed the srs light come on & remain on (usually after i have started my 2001 honda accord 4-dr sedan) it goes out @ indeterminate times & then does it again seemingly when it feels like it. I understand that it corresponds to the airbags which are interestingly part of the vehicles' "safety" equipment, however, isn't covered to remain in working condition - at no cost to vehicle owner (i bought the vehicle new & i am the owner). I have seen hundreds (over 400) of complaints re. The identical failure of this "safety" issue & have yet to see anyone in a position of authority do anything to correct the situation. Please add me to the list of complainants. Thank you
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the airbag light would illuminate on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 09v259000 (air bags:frontal:driver side inflator module). The dealer was notified, but denied assistance with the repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 80,000. The vin was unavailable.
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 andfound 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 ofcommunication 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.
The srs indicator in my 2001 honda accord ex has lit up for no apparent reason.
Repeated failure of supplemental restrain system in my warrantied 2001 honda accord.failure consists of faulty sensors, thereby deactivating the system.this has occurred four time.every time this was taken to a factory authorized dealer, with no success (problem recurs). *nlm
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.
Takata recall - on jan 10th 2017 my son was in a car accident with his 2001 honda accord and the airbag deployed and stuff hit him in the face he was bleeding all over his face. The car was totaled and its now sitting in a junkyard here where we live i have pictures of the car. My son was rushed to the emergency room in reno, nv. He is ok now and he a lot of cuts, bruises and had whiplash. This car was not safe for a teen to be driving for his first car! the car lost control on the highway and bounced several times off the guard rails at 65 mph.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.while driving approximately between 55-60 mphanother vehicle crashed into the driver-side of her vehicle. The air bag system did not deploy, and a passenger was injured as a result. The vehicle was towed to an auto collision center. The failure and current mileages were119,000.the vin was unavailable.
Srs indicator light came on 10/15/2004when i started engine in the morning and the light stayed on after that. Car is maintained in good condition always, there was no problem with the car and it ran fine. Talked to dealers and all said they need to diagnose for a charge of 80-100$. I took the car to coral springs honda on 10/22/2004 and they said srs unit is bad and they charged 516.00 $ to replace it. I had to pay and replace the srs unit (fp no. 77960-s84-a75, dtc 07-2 srs unit, 6490148). It seems this is a generic failures as shown by many complaints here. Honda should pay for this problem fix and customers shouldn't be burdened with this replacement cost!
2001 accord lx has 59,000 miles on it. Two weeks ago the srs light came on for no reason. Did some research and discovered this is a very common problem with these cars. The airbags will not deploy while this light is on. Serious safety issue .
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that she received a recall notice for recall 08v593000 (air bags: frontal: driver side inflator module on august 5, 2010. The dealer stated that the parts were ordered but had not been received. The current and failure mileages were approximately 100,000.
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.
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.
Air bag warning light continuously stays on. Thiscould result in premature or none deployment of the air bags.
Honda accord 2001.srs indicator light on for months now with no apparent trigger (no accidents, previous airbag deployment).brought to honda dealer - charged $90 diagnostics which resulted that airbag control unit was broken.replaced at outside mechanic with original honda parts for $400, however srs light remained on despite correcting stated diagnostic problem.argued to return part because problem was not resolved, which was finally done, but dealership states that needs another $90 diagnostic to find the problem again - back to square one.concerned with safety issue of airbags not deployed in case of an accident, which appears to have occurred to other consumers.very concerned with regards honda company in their lack of concern with their product and safety of their consumers!
"takata recall" shortly after the recall the srs light came on dash and has stayed on. Possibly related to air bag, seat sensor or seat buckles. Honda refused warranty service, "not a covered item" suggested replacement of the srs unit at $800.00 for the parts.we maintain it's all part of the same safety system and should be covered.after reading on the web it varies from dealer to dealer weather they will cover it or not. We just want whats fair.please advise.original owner.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Srs and side air bag lights come on and off intermittently regardless of pcs phone use and/or person/book bag in passenger seat.brought to dealer in april 2004, said it was a weak battery.had battery inspected by independant mechanic and was well with specifications for 3-4 yr old battery.paid $39.00 to tell me that nothing was wrong.noticed recall for 2000-2001 honda accord illuminator panel and discovered not the issue, but found this site and am amazed at the number of failures with no resolution or cause as to why this is occuring.will contact dealership again with case studies obtained from this website.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact also indicated that the manufacturer sent a recall notice, the dealer scheduled a repair and stated they completed the recall but the air bag warning light remained illuminated. The contact was uncertain if the dealer provided the repair and if the remedy from the manufacturer provided a solution. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting to determine their solution to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was not available.
My car was seen for recall but my car still isn't fixed to where it's safe to drive
Takata recallrepairs 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 weresmudges 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.
The date listed above should be 2/14/2001, when i first bought the car. When i was driving it home the airbag light up. I took the car bag and i'm not sure what was fixed. As the years passed by the light continued to light up. I took the car back to the service department several times. They never offered me another car or fixed the problem. As the years went on there was finally a recall issued. But to this day the light still comes on. I should have been compensated a defective car but i was never offered another car or a reduced price.i recently received a recall notice but your website does not list my vin. Can i bring my car to the headquarters location in torrance for an inspection/fix the problem and i would like to be compensatedfor buying a new car that did not live up to honda's standards from day 1 ( february 14, 2001)... Updated 09/30/15
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While driving between 50 to 60 mph she rear-ended another vehicle. The vehicle was completely destroyed and none of the air bags deployed.she received bruises on her neck.the vehicle was towed to a wreckage yard per request of the insurance agency. The failure mileage was 193,000.
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.
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. In addition, the paint coating on the car is coming off, fading, and all with significant damage to the overall quality of the car. I see paint coming off from similar vehicles in my area. I believe that both the air bags and paint should be addressed.updated11/24/2014
One day, my srs check light came on randomly. I researched it on the internet to see what the problem may be, and i was informed that they're one of the very common problems associated with the 6th generation accords, that are caused by no real problems. Honda corporation is not willing to offer a remedy about the problem, even though it involves safety issues (airbags will not deploy when the srs light is illuminated). I have to take it to the dealer now and pay $80+, just to have it checked out. If my srs needs to be replaced, as with most cases experienced by other accord owners, it will be another $700+ for replacement..thank you for your time and attention.
2001 honda accord. Consumer express discontent with recall repair assistance from dealer *tgwwhen the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer to comply with the recall, she was told they would call when the part came in, as it had to be ordered. Several months have passed, and the consumer has not received a call or a notice.
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? extremely disappointed with honda and their service. This is beyond frustrating.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact was driving approximately 60 mph and crashed into another vehicle. The air bag deployed and the chemical in the air bag severely burned the contact's right hand. The vehicle was destroyed. A police report was filed and the vehicle was towed to an auto body shop. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 181,000.
Side airbags light come
Srs light turned on.i have had several instances where the side airbag light has also illuminated, but this is the first time the srs light came on (and remains on).this seems to be all the symptoms of your nhtsa action number pe05043.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While parked, the contact noticed that the srs light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The technician stated that the front driver's seat belt buckle would have to be replaced. After the repair, the srs warning light continued to illuminate. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer a second time. The technician inspected the vehicle and reset the warning light. The srs warning light illuminated again. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 152,800.
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.this is a severely dangerous problem that needs to be resolved.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 40 mph, another vehicle pulled out in front of the contact causing a crash.the air bags did not deploy.both occupants in the vehicle sustained minor injuries and a police report was taken.the vehicle was towed to a salvage yard.later, the insurance company deemed the vehicle totaled.the dealer was not contacted.updated 12/28/06.
While driving passenger's side air bag inadvertently deployed.there was no passenger in the seat at the time of air bagdeployment.dealer inspected the passenger side air bag and replaced the air bag and cover.
While backing into a parking spacevehicle suddenly accelerated and hita wall.upon impact, both air bags did not deploy. Driver sustained neck injuries and was transportedto a hospital.
Honda sent a recall for the airbags. Took to dealership and they said they would fix for free. Had me wait 2 hours while they didn't do anything but look at my car. The srs light is still on. The government should step in and do something about it. How is it that thousands of hondas are riding around and the airbag wont even deploy if you get into a accident. Not to mention honda wont even make sure that its safe. There should be a law stating that all recalls must be handled accordingly or get fined a hefty fine. 2001 honda accord v6.........still unsafe.......and upset.
While traveling approximately 50 mph front passenger air bag deployed unexpectedly, causingloss of control.vehicle impacted a sidewall, causing damage to wheels and tires.please provide any additional information / attachments.

Air bag srs indicator light came on and stays on. I learned through owners on the internet concerning past problems with air bags and difficulty at honda dealerships on this problem. Upon contacting honda customer service, they informed me that my vin number is not covered by the extended warranty of 10 years or 150,000 miles. I feel that this is a very serious defect, do to the air bags will not deploy on impact while the srs light is on. My 2001 honda has 84,000 miles and purchased it june of 2003.
While driving, vehicle was struck in the passenger side front quarter panel, the airbags deployed, creating a thick smoke which obscured the windshield, causing a loss of vision to the consumer, consumer states that this smoke prevented her from maintaining the best control of the vehicle under the circumstances.
2001 honda accord airbag caused severe burns and cuts.
While driving about 50 mph was involved in aside impact collision. Uponimpact,neither driver's side nor passenger's side and doors air bags deployed.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact was driving 40 mph when she crashed into the vehicle ahead of her. Then, that vehicle crashed into the vehicle ahead of it. The contact stated that the air bags did not deploy. A passenger sustained injures to the chest, knees and ankles. A police report was available. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 08v593000 (air bags: frontal: driver side inflat0r module) and stated that the recall repair was previously performed on the vehicle two months prior to the failure.

Updated 12/30/08 updated 12/30/08.
2001 honda accord srs dash light comes on, will not go off.this renders the srs inoperable in the event of a frontal collision according to manufacturer. This is a common problem with these 2001 honda models.
2001 honda accord air bags inadvertently deployed while driving.***no ans required***the consumer was informed, that due to a minor scrape on the uni-body undercarriage frame (the section running parallel to the long axis of the vehicle on the passenger side approximately halfway from the rear) that the deployment was due impact at the scrape point. Neither the manufacturer or the dealer wanted to take responsibility.
The srs light in my 2001 honda accord has come on and wont go off. The airbags have never been deployed before in the car and after some searching have found that this is a common problem with the year make model of car. 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. I am outraged and there should be something done about this immediately.
While traveling on the highway an dwithout prior warning air bag light appeared on the dashboard.
I was alone and stopped at a red light when a vehicle hit me from behind.i had no warning of the approaching car since the driver had fallen asleep.his airbag deployed.my car was knocked directly forward into the truck in front of me, and that truck was knocked into the van in front of it.my airbags did not deploy and my seatbelt/shoulder harness did not prevent me from fracturing my eye-socket on the steering wheel.based on the force of the impact, i believe that my shoulder harness should have prevented this devastating injury.after repairs that did not include replacing the harness, i am still subject to the same type of injury.
Air bag sensor light came on and stayed on. Contacted dealer, they sad this was nothing. Onsumer was in an frontal collision, and none of the air bagsdeployed on impact. Contacted dealer ,fixed problem. Consumer was in a side impact none of the air bags, includingside air bags deployed on impact.
While pulling out of curb consumer was hit by another vehicle with a 55 mph impact on driver's side, causing $5700 worth of damage. Door was pushed onto driver's seat. Driver's side,and frontal airbags did not deploy, causing head trauma.
Consumer was at a stop, and was hit on the drivers front side and air bags did not deploy.
2001 honda accord srs light remains on.service dept. Said car is "safe" to drive."good news is that the airbags won't deploy when you are driving around.the bad news is that the airbags won't deploy in an accident."my research shows that honda is not concerned about consumers with this issue.there is no type of warranty coverage and it is a very expensive fix with marginal results (likely to recur).i should think that seat belts and airbags would have a lifetime warranty.
Vehicle was in front and rear collision,and none of the front air bags deployed upon impact.please provide more details.ph
Srs indicator light came on 10/15/2004when i started engine in the morning and the light stayed on after that. Car is maintained in good condition always, there was no problem with the car and it ran fine. Talked to dealers and all said they need to diagnose for a charge of 80-100$. I took the car to coral springs honda on 10/22/2004 and they said srs unit is bad and they charged 516.00 $ to replace it. I had to pay and replace the srs unit (fp no. 77960-s84-a75, dtc 07-2 srs unit, 6490148). It seems this is a generic failures as shown by many complaints here. Honda should pay for this problem fix and customers shouldn't be burdened with this replacement cost!
Extnsive damage to our two month old 2001 honda accord. Extensive front end damage without any deployment of any airbags. Driver hit head on steering wheel and ribs injured. Seat belts worn by all involved.smoke entered car.firefighters checked for airbag deployment and severed line. Other vehicle involved was a 1993 chevrolet silverado with minimal bumper damage. Honda struck the rear of the chevrolet.honda appeared to hit rear of the chevrolet, and proceeded to travel under the other vehicle. Speed of driver was 30-35.
Similar to other complaints already on file, the srs light stays on constantly. This problem was checked by a honda dealer and an independent auto repair facility. Both concluded that either faulty wiring and electronics were causing this problem or that one of the airbags is defective. The estimated repair cost is $700. Since thecar has never been in an accident , the airbag system has never been touched since the car was manufactured. Given the number of almost identical complaints that are already on file, honda should have been required to address this safety problem a long time ago.
Consumerwas hit broadside by another vehicle at a 90 degree angle on passenger's side. Upon impact,air bags did not deploy.alsopassenger's side on vehicle was crushed in.contacted dealer.
After being involved in a collision passenger's frontalair bag deployed anddriver's side air bagdid not deploy. According to the mechanic the air bags were on the same sensor, and both should have deployed. Manufacturer refused to send a representative.

2001 honda accord ex rear ended 2007 toyota solari at 30-32 mph. The honda accord front end was pushed all the way into the motor and transmission and was totaled out by insurance company.the air bags never deployed.wife was bruised by seat belt across the chest and very sore muscles in neck and back for several days, and headache. Took painkiller and muscle relaxant for couple of days after accident. Wife was driving honda. Just how bad an accident must there be for the air bags to work?
I had a head on collision with a big rig on the freeway on i-5 monday august 31st. I was going about 68/miles an hr when the big rig hit me from the front. The impact was pretty bad because i have cervical strain and been in bed since monday. Also strained my back due to me being thrown forward n back even with my seat belt on. The strange part is that my air bag didn't go inflate with that much impact. I think if the air bag would've inflated then that would've saved me from all this injury. 5 years ago, i was in an accident as well and at that time i rear ended a still car going about 65 miles and at that time the air bad didn't go off either, my concern at this point is that there's some defect in the air bag in my car because it should've inflated this time due to the impact but it didn't.
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.
My srs light keeps coming on.honda said it will cost $1500 to replace.( not covered under warranty )they indicated that in a crash the drivers side airbag will not deploy.
Whiledriving at 55 mph vehicle was in a frontal collision at a 60 mph impact. None of the air bag deployed upon impact. Vehicle totaled.

I took my honda accord 2001 in for service and mentioned that the srs light blinks off and on. I was told later that the driversside airbag had "gone bad". The mechanic said "it happens". The vehicle has never been in any kind of collision. Mechanic also told me that he has had several come in that way. It is not covered under warrantee, and is an $800 part. I would also like to mention that the side airbag light also flashes on and off and was told that the seatbelt was causing it. I don't think the part that a driver depends on to save them in a crash should just "go bad."

Honda accord 2001 needs new opds unit i noticed that my side air bag light came on and shortly after that the srs light came on.when i took it to the honda dealer they told me that i needed a new opds unit at $6662.70.now that seems ungodly steep.but to top it off when i went online to research it, i find that many honda owners are experiencing exactly the same thing i am.i think honda should replace it.

My contact with honda directly hasn't been favorable.honda is telling their technicians there isn't a problem when they call for help.the excuse honda is giving their techs is that the driver airbags are set to deploy with a greater force and the passenger ones deploy with less force.they have had similar problems with civic models and have had to change the control box.nothing has been done so far to address the accord problems.
My accord has similar problem as the odyssey regarding the airbag light is on.i went to the service dept in atamian honda, and the service advisor told me the censor inside of the passenger seat is rusted and caused the failure.i've contact honda care, the extended warranty, and they told me the airbag does not cover under the "full coverage" warranty i purchased.if the odyssey has a recall regarding the same airbag problem, i think my accord should be covered too.

Srs light is constantly on.took it to dealer, was charged $68 to be told it's a 7-2 problem and have the light reset.as soon as i started up the car, the light came back on.was told it would need a new control unit replacement that would cost almost $500!my car has never had any problems to cause this -- no accidents, no low battery, no air bag deployment, nothing.seems much to soon to have something like this go "out."
On my 2001 honda accord ex srs light on after small accident, this is not covered via my insurance nor is it covered via honda. Honda states that it will only repair the passenger side portion. How does this help if i am in an another more serious accident. To add i am a low income person and spending $2000 and 105 to have nothing done is not acceptable.

Dt:the srs light stayed on since the consumer purchased the vehicle.when the consumer took vehicle to the dealership for regular maintance they would reset the light.every time it would come back on.the consumer wasconcerned because she has been informed that the air bag will not deploy since this light was on.
2001 honda accord with 45000 miles.srs red light on the dash that indicates the front airbags are likely disabled stays on.a honda mechanic has tested for the error code and reset the srs twice.both times the light came back on after starting the car.the code from his test indicates that the unit controlling the front air bags is the problem.seems to me that part should not fail on a car this new with this few miles when it has never been involved in an accident.
Srs light on. Found code 15-3 opds sensor failure. New sensor required at a cost of $421.
Srs light is on, vehicle needs new opds. Result: no working air bags.

2001 honda accord purchased new at dealership.a few months later (less than 1 year) srs light indicating problem with airbag came on and stayed on.auto was brought back to dealer for repair; temporarily light off, but came back shortly thereafter.in all total, car brought in for this problem probably 6 or more times, variably called sensor, light bulb and seat belt problem.daughter now has car, and has moved out of town.light is on, indicating problem, and she has a wreck, with no injuries but causing moderate damage to front of car.front end repaired, light temporarily went off, but came back on within a , month or two, another wreck with damage to front and back car, this time to point of having to be towed and undrivable.in neither case did airbags deploy, and daughter sustained mild neckand head injury from hitting head repeatedly on steering wheel. We believe that there is a serious flaw in airbag sensor and deployment system that lead us astray in assuming it was minor, and could have allowed major injury to daughter.we are very anxious about letting her drive car again.

The srs light went on in my car for no reason.
Srs light comes on for no apparent reason.2001 honda accord ex v6 coupe.
The srs light came up for no reasons on my 2001 honda accord. It came on after the 3 year warranty was over. I had brought it back to dealership and they had reset it. However, the light came back within a week. I hope this complaint will trigger a recall from honda as it seems there are many people complaining the same thing!!!! i don't want to shell out $$$$ to fix something that was a defect in the first place!
The supplemental restraint system (srs) light remains on while the vehicle is in operation, which supposedly indicates that there is a problem with the airbags or seatbelts.as i understand it, this is a common problem with this model of car.
My 2001 honda accord srs light has came on and stayed on.this has been a problem with other 2001 honda accords and i wantto know if there has been a recall put out to correct the problem?thank you .
Since i purchased my car from honda in 11/2001. My srs light has been on repeatedly throughout the years. I would inform honda every time i went in for a service or oil change. They would adjust the light and it would come on weeks later. I finally had the srs light serviced by honda. Currently thesrs light is on again.
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.
On 7/28/05 my srs light came on for the 5th time in the 4.5 years i've owned the car. This is my second filing with nhtsa on this issue.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.it appears from the many posts here there is a problem with honda accord 2001 srs sensor and honda should be made to replace them appropriately.
The srs light in my 2001 honda accord repeatedly comes on.i have had the opds unit replaced twice, and i have been told by the dealer that it has to be replaced again.
Air bag light illuminated while driving. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the consumer that the srs module needed to be replaced ,and it was not covered under a recall. Consumer anticipated the air bags may deploy inadvertently while driving or not deploy in a vehicle crash.
On 26th october 2007, friday, it was raining heavily in new jersey. When i arrived at work, the car was fine. When i started back home, the vehicle's srs light was permanently on. It still is after 4 days. Researching, i found out that this is a common occurrence in this model year of this vehicle and is very expensive to fix. Kindly take action to make sure this isn't an expensive repair for thousands of consumers given the popularity of this vehicle model. Thank you. Please see this page - http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2001/seat_belts_air_bags/srs_light_keeps_coming_on.shtml for tales of similar failure.
2001 honda accord, 71,500 miles, srs light will not go off.
2001 honda accord srs light came on with no reason and stayed on.
The yellow air bag light lights up intermittently.this has happened ever since the car was brand new,but now the frequency of this light activation is much greater.when there isn't anything on the front passenger seat the light will turn on by itself.when i then touch the passenger seats upper cushion (the backrest) with my hand it goes out.when i release the top cushion the light comes back on.this defect is most apparent during very humid days.once the air conditioning has removed enough humidity from the passenger compartment the air bag light stays off.
The srs light stays lit on my 2001 honda accord.airbags may not deploy.honda should fix this since it is manufacturer fault.
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.
Srs light is on.
I am writing to file a complaint and for information regarding a persistent problem i am having with my 2001 honda accord srs light.specificallythe dashboard srslight goes on for no reason. I have been told by the dealer that they cannot guarantee that my airbags will deploy if i am in an accident or that the bags may deploy for no reason. 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 etc. But yet there is still no recall regarding this extremely dangerous safety issue. I am hoping you can help me understand the following:1. Why hasn't there been a recall regarding this issue?2. Has the nhtsa conducted an investigation into the problem of the srs indicator light on 2001 honda accords?if so, what facts were found, what determination was made and what result followed?4. What is the solution??this is truly a mystery to me, and i feel very unsafe driving my car with this light on!!! please contact me if you need more information or ifi can be of any assistance in having this problem designated for recall. It is very scary driving with this light on, and it is through no fault of the owners of these vehicles! i also understand that later model years 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! please help.
Side airbag light goes on and off on honda 2001 accord lx 4 door.dealer found no problem and suggested that an object was on the front passenger seat.this problem has been repeating for over a year without objects on the front seat.dealer is not helpful and has erroneously diagnosed my last two problems, causing me to pay for unnecessary repairs.
The2001 honda accord srs light keptcoming on.very expensive to fix for an airbag.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.the contact noticed that the air bag light would remain illuminated everytime he started the vehicle.the dealer stated that he would have to pay $89 for a diagnostic.the current mileage was 177,000 and failure mileage was 167,000. Updated 03-04-08 the consumer stated there was a recall for the air bags, but it was only good for up to a 160,000 miles.
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!!!!
The airbag system on our 2001 honda accord continues to malfunction. The srs light comes on. One opds sensor was replaced under warrenty, but now the dealer wants almost $700 every time it comes back on. When i complain, they just tell me i must have put something on the passenger seat, that it's my fault.
The srs light came on in my 2001 honda accord.nothing prompted it.it means the airbags won't work in an accident.apparently it is a common problem and costs anywhere form $600-1300 to fix.
The dashboard airbaglight comes on when i just place my purse on the passenger front seat, or if i place a heavy bag on the floor and it leans against the passenger front seat.browsing through your site complaints, i notice that my car is not the only one with the airbag light coming on.the complaint states that the dealer would not do anything, that person had an accident and the airbag never went off.has anything changed since the complaint was filed where the dealer would fix the problem at no charge to me?
The air bag light was on.dealer stated that consumers'cell phone on the seat made the light go on. Dealer showedconsumer a paper, stating that the electronic devices causedproblems with air bags.the consumer paid $300.00 for the repairs.
Srs air bag sensor faulty, possible risk of injury or even death due to faulty air bag deployment.
Red srs light illuminated on the dashboard. Called honda dealership. They claim it is not a recurring problem and it will cost $100 to read the error code, and $600-$1300 to fix depending on what failed. I waited at the dealership and talked to 3 other people with the exact same issue. Honda is clearly avoiding responsibility for a faulty seat belt airbag system.
Dt*: the contact stated the air bag light illuminated.the dealership determined the control module was bad and the air bag would not deploy during an accident.
Supplemental restraint system becomes inoperative for several reasons, possibly including weak battery, cell phone use, placement of lightweight package on front passenger seat.dealer was intent on collecting scanner fee claiming no warranty responsibility on a temporary error message.i offered to buy a replacement battery at above market rate if dealer would absorb the scanner charge.dealer declined and urged me to leave and never return.
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!
2001 honda accord srs lamp remains lit.no accident or other events caused this to occur.consequences of srs unit failure includes non-deployment of airbags in frontal/side impact.diagnostic evaluation estimates parts replacement at $425.
Srs indicator light came on 10/15/2004when i started engine in the morning and the light stayed on after that. Car is maintained in good condition always, there was no problem with the car and it ran fine. Talked to dealers and all said they need to diagnose for a charge of 80-100$. I took the car to coral springs honda on 10/22/2004 and they said srs unit is bad and they charged 516.00 $ to replace it. I had to pay and replace the srs unit (fp no. 77960-s84-a75, dtc 07-2 srs unit, 6490148). It seems this is a generic failures as shown by many complaints here. Honda should pay for this problem fix and customers shouldn't be burdened with this replacement cost!
The air bag sensor light malfunctioned. The consumer was concerned the air bag will not deploy upon impact.the component to repair the air bag was order december 2003 but it still has not arrived at the dealer. The vehicle transmission.
In march of 2003, while driving home from the grocery store, my husband swerved and then stopped (without any collision) and the front passenger airbag of our 2001 honda accord ex deployed while i was sitting in the seat.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.to this date, the srs light on my dashboard still comes on with no explanation, and the greenwich and white plains honda dealerships want nothing to do with it.meanwhile, i feel unsafe driving the car and have been since the incident when i was 3 months pregnant, and now have a 6 month old child that i drive around in the vehicle.
I purchased a new honda accord ex in 2001 at a honda dealer in texas , now the check engine light and tcs lightcame on and stayed on. I checked the owner's manual and found out it could be that the gas cap might not have beentightened. So i have to wait until3 driving trips to see if itwentoff. Thats waswhat manual suggestedfirst. Then itwentoff to honda dealer to see if computer needed a new catalytic converter ,which i heard could likely be inaccurate diagnosis, and more likely oxygen sensor. Also another problem occurred, thesrs light stayed on and didnot go out.srs light coming on, i have also had my check engine light and tcs indicator come on. It is a bit concerning that i have had so many issues with this particular accord with so few miles on it. Seems like a huge safety issue that an air bag does not deploy with the srs light on. What is wrong with this car? did i buy a lemon?i will definitely not buy another honda. Extremely disappointed in honda's lack of concern for safety, which they tout so much about, and disrespect for consumer's concerns.
I own a 2001 honda accord ex v6 vehicle. I have had the srs light come on since the last couple of days. Having gone through the list of complaints registered with nhtsa, i am really concerned with this issue. My vehicle had run a little more than 103,000 miles and i believe it still falls under the free opds replacement period as stated by the nhtsa authority. Please let me know how this problem is to be resolved.
The supplemental restraint system on my 2001 honda accord dx triggers an error code which disables the front passenger air bag.prior attempts by my local dealer to repair the defect while the vehicle was under warranty worked only temporarily.the defect has reoccurred and the vehicle is now out of warranty. The defect apprears to disable the front passenger air bag.
In april 2001, i purchased new honda accord ex from its dealer, planethonda in union, nj. The car had been sore for the last three years. The car was recalled because of faulty transmission. 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 was advised by nhtsa to send the complaint to nhtsa. Please forward the copy of the complaint to the appropriate department, so that they can look into the matter. Thanks....... Ashok kumar
Honda accord 2001 needs new opds unit i noticed that my side air bag light came on and shortly after that the srs light came on.when i took it to the honda dealer they told me that i needed a new opds unit at $6662.70.now that seems ungodly steep.but to top it off when i went online to research it, i find that many honda owners are experiencing exactly the same thing i am.i think honda should replace it.
I got in my car one morning and my airbag (passenger side in the seat) was deployed.no accident, nothing happened, just deployed.honda will not acknowledge the fact and insurance looked at it and calls is a mechanical failure.
Noticed that the airbag indicator light would go on and off frequently.contact dealer who indicated that the side airbag sensor was overly senstive.during a side collision in the rear quarter panel, side airbag did not deploy.
Side airbag light comes on intermittently; owners manual states this can be due to passenger in passenger seat.then srs light came on last week and stayed on.owners manual instructs to contact dealer immediately.i did and took it in on the day contacted.dealer paperwork states "srs cleared srs code 15-3, found cell phone accessories in proximity of seat, code did not reset".verbally instructed not to put cell phone or any other electronic device on passenger seat or near it; as this can interfere with the airbag system.as of right now both lights are off - whether or not my airbags will deploy correctly is a question mark. *nlm
Vehicle was in a head-on collision at a speed of 50mph, and bothdriver's side and passenger's side airbags did not deploy.
While driving about 50 mph was involved in aside impact collision. Uponimpact,neither driver's side nor passenger's side and doors air bags deployed.
Srs light came on for no reason.
I was hit in the driver side door by a maroon ford that ran a stop sign which was traveling about 40/45 mph at impact.i called the dealer, spoke to a man that said the service manager said the side air bags should have deployed:i faxed them all info from the purchase of the car & asked them to please come look at the car; no one came to look at the car. Honda says they have no information at all to give me & the dealer says now it is too late for any help from them. I have pictures & the insurance agents said both bags should have deployed as well. The driver & passanger door to include the front part of the frame by the tire had to be cut off. I feel i have been taken advantage of because i am a woman & i am friends with the manager of the dealership. Please help me get to the bottom of this. My insurance company is usaa & they gave me your address.thank you.angela suggs-bartos.
After stopping at a red light, consumer made a left hand turn slightly bumping the curb, as consumer turned the curb the rate of speed was about 2-3 mph, there was minimal damage to vehicle, after completing the turn approximately 15 seconds later the side passenger airbag deployed, consumer states she was approximately 10 feet passed the curb.

I was hit by a car running a red light. The left front and rear quarter panels hit and the side air bag did not deploy. I called honda to find out where sensors are and was told that they are in the areas i was hit.
Driver side air bag cover produced a split.consumer was concerned that the side air bag will deploy inadvertently.

Re: nhtsa action no:pe05043 (closed investigation)srs unit light remains on indicating that passenger side air bag will not work.opds unit has was previously replaced. 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. Dealer cannot help because it is a corporate decision.
I was driving my 2001 honda accord and hit something on the freeway which caused my left drivers side airbag to go off.
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.
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 thewarranty 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.
Vehicle bounce off the curb at approximately 10 mph.later on panel cover was off, exposing the passenger side airbag dealer was notified, and informed consumerthat sensor must have sent out a signal, but the air bag failed to deploy.consumer stated that the passenger side airbag should not have deployed, because she was not going that fast.
While traveling 60mph onhighwayvehicle slid on the ice and lost control, resulting in a collision. Driver's side airbag didn't go off. Dealershipwas awareofproblem.
While pulling out of curb consumer was hit by another vehicle with a 55 mph impact on driver's side, causing $5700 worth of damage. Door was pushed onto driver's seat. Driver's side,and frontal airbags did not deploy, causing head trauma.
My drivers seat side airbag deployed and my srs light is on.i took my car to the honda dealership and they told me the only thing covered in the recall is the igniter, which is in my steering wheel.they replaced this, which was described as the srs driver inflater and told me that the car will need to undergo a diagnostic test which will cost me $110 and that i will also have to pay to get my seat fixed, where the airbag deployed. I'm not sure why this wouldn't be covered in the recall when it's all related. My car has not been in an accident and the airbag did not deploy while i was in it, so i'm not sure what the heck happened.the bag is just hanging out of my seat and i don't feel i should pay to get this fixed.an airbag recall should cover anything related to the airbag system.i thought the airbag was controlled by the igniter that's in the steering wheel.i'm not sure why they would fix one thing and not the other. From what i have read, this is happening alot! there has to be something done about this.i don't have the money to pay for the damage that was done to my seat.it's ripped down the side and the airbag is hanging out.
Air bag sensor light came on and stayed on. Contacted dealer, they sad this was nothing. Onsumer was in an frontal collision, and none of the air bagsdeployed on impact. Contacted dealer ,fixed problem. Consumer was in a side impact none of the air bags, includingside air bags deployed on impact.
While driving down the road vehicle ran over a pot hole and the side air bag deployed inadvertently.
Air bag on passenger's side blinks on and offfor past 2 months. Srs light just started coming on, and will not go off.dealer stated cell phone and computer caused sensors to go off, and/ or might causeair bags to deploy. Consumer was not sure ifdealer and manufacturer will find a possiblesolution.
2001 honda accord srs light remains on.service dept. Said car is "safe" to drive."good news is that the airbags won't deploy when you are driving around.the bad news is that the airbags won't deploy in an accident."my research shows that honda is not concerned about consumers with this issue.there is no type of warranty coverage and it is a very expensive fix with marginal results (likely to recur).i should think that seat belts and airbags would have a lifetime warranty.
Honda accord 2001: both airbags (driver's and passenger side) deployed without any specific reason while vehicle proceeded on slow speed (10 mph) along residential road. Under distress the driver damaged 2 parked cars. Both the driver and the passenger sustained airbag-deployment related injuries. This car belongs to my father and he and my mother were involved in this accident.*tw
Consumer's 5 year old child attempted to secure himself in the rear center safety belt.during the attempt, the belt was accidently secured around child's neck and the retractor locked into place.consumer stopped vehicle and turned off ignition, but retractor was stuck and belt had to be cut by scissors in order to remove.
The air bag light was on.dealer stated that consumers'cell phone on the seat made the light go on. Dealer showedconsumer a paper, stating that the electronic devices causedproblems with air bags.the consumer paid $300.00 for the repairs.
Recall #04v256000 6/7/0405v0250001/28/05never received notification of recall, having these issues currently on my car honda states no recall in effect at this time for my vin.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.while driving 40 mph, the vehicle suddenly shut off.prior to the failure, a green light illuminated on the instrument panel.in addition, the brake and check engine indicators illuminated.the vehicle failed to move when the accelerator pedal was depressed.the contact stated that the failure occurred at least five times.the failure was related to the ignition switch and the vehicle was repaired.he feels it is a safety issue because a severe crash could occur due to the failure.the current and failure mileages were 75,121.
There have been several recalls for different honda vehicles with this problem: the mechanism that locks the key in the ignition while the vehicles are in gear can wear out. When that happens, drivers are able to remove keys without shifting into park. I can take the key out without the car being in park. There have been no injuries to date.i have been trying to make sure that i put the emergency brake on everytime i park my car.this has been happening with my car for several years, but it has never been included in a recall. I am not sure when it started or what the mileage of the car was when it started.i called honda today when i saw the latest recall to see if they would fix my car or if i have to wait until someone gets hurt or dies and they say to contact you because they could not just include my car in the recall.
Srs light will not go off.
I took it to oreilys to read the obd and the guy told me my ecu was wiped. My identity has also been stolen and these gang of people who impersonate me have done this, at an earlier time 8/19 my keys were stolen from my roommate and i reported it because they got tickets in my name. Anyhow i have to push start my car to override the fact that theres no data to tell my car what to do and my key is also invalid and i cannot afford to fix it. Was hoping there was a way you could get info on who did this and accessed the info?? or if i am covered under the privacy act??

Takata recall:air bag passenegr side light turns on multiple times even a passnger is sitting on the front seat with proper restraint precautions.electric:brake light fuses keep blowing interlock ignition switch:the key can be disengaged/removed while gear is still in drive mode. Should not happen. Key should only be disengaged in parkmode.
Dt*:the contact stated the airbag light illuminated intermittently while the vehicle was running.no other indicators were present at the time of illumination.the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem, but the dealer replaced the entire driver seat belt in a unsuccessful attempt to remedy the problem.updated 5/23/2006 -
Well i had purchased the car from a seller on craigslist . I had noticed a red illuminated light reading srs on my dashboard i had no knowledge of what it was after further research of what the warning sign was. Reliable source given stated that reading indicated a possible malfunction of airbags present in the car
My mother had picked up my niece from her school and was waiting formy nephew and his friend to get out of high school. When ready to go, the car was difficult to start. Took about 10 min to get the car to start. After the car started, went into reverse and backed out of the parking space. Put the car in drive and it "chugged" a couple of times. Then the car accelerated unexpectedly. She was unable to slow the car down by applying the brakes. The car traveled 460 feet accelerating the whole time.the approximate speed of the car was between 60-80 mph. At the end of the parking lot, she turned left and the car hit a curb launching them into a pole that holds up the chain link fencing around the school. They went thru the fencing and into the block wall behind it coming to rest there.all 4 occupants were seen by a doctor and released that day. My mother has numerous cuts and bruises. My nephew shoulder and back are hurting him. My niece has scrapes on the right arm from the block wall. My nephews friend has a black eye.
The srs light began to come on intermittently, and thenstayed on. Took the car to the dealer, and was told the entire computer module needs to be replaced. No reason given - just "thing happen". No trauma or collision leading up to the light coming on, and definitely no airbag deployment.
When consumer placed the gear into drive, the vehicle lurched forward slowly, and then the alarm system went off and all dashboard lights started blinking erratically.dealer advised the the cold weather caused the computer to enter fail safe mode. Tsjb
On my vehicles, the interlock operation of the ignition switch not function properly, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to park.my sedansrear seat belt buckles were improperly manufactured makin it impossible for me to attach a carseatand lock it safe
Srs light stays on 2001 honda ex 75k. All electrical has shorted out on me while driving. Car has never been in an accident.
One day, my srs check light came on randomly. I researched it on the internet to see what the problem may be, and i was informed that they're one of the very common problems associated with the 6th generation accords, that are caused by no real problems. Honda corporation is not willing to offer a remedy about the problem, even though it involves safety issues (airbags will not deploy when the srs light is illuminated). I have to take it to the dealer now and pay $80+, just to have it checked out. If my srs needs to be replaced, as with most cases experienced by other accord owners, it will be another $700+ for replacement..thank you for your time and attention.
The interior dashboard panel lights fail to light up.
I was driving down the road at about 35 mph and the car just stalled for no apparent reason it had gas so i coasted on to the side of the road put it in park and it started fine went about 3/10thsof a mile got speed up to 30 mph also this time i turned off the radio and a/c and it stalled again coasted over to the side and stopped put in park and tried to crank this time it just turned over and would not crank at all i sat there with my emergency flashers flashing for about 5 minutes and it started fine that time i turned around and drove home and parked it there was no check engine light on and the car was at normal operating temp it was in the day time the temp outside was about 90 degrees fahrenheit i had drove the car for about 15 minutes when it started this, there are a lot of complaints about this type of malfunction from honda accords in this year and model i have a 2001 honda accord 4 cylinder.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.while driving at an unknown speed, all of the indicators illuminated on the instrument panel.also, the vehicle would decelerate independently.the vehicle was not taken to a dealer and was not repaired.the manufacturer was notified.the failure mileage was 170,000.updated 08/11/14*ljthe consumer stated the alternator, spark plugs, rotor cap starter and battery were replaced.

My ignition-park interlock is faulty but isn't under the current recall. It may be common sense to put the e-brake on when parking but not everyone is perfect, my vehicle has nearly rolled away multiple times now. Luckily i caught it in time to stop it from crashing. Also if i do leave the vehicle in d4 with the e-brake on, ignition key out of course, and i leave the vehicle parked, someone could break in and push it away. Regardless what i showed the dealership, they told me to contact honda of america to file a complaint. I just did that and got told the same thing.
Takata recall-my srs light is been on for more than 2 weeks and my side airbag lights is also coming on and off...recently my dash lights stopped working
Purchased used vehicle in march 2006.in may 2006 i experienced an engine cutout while driving on the highway. This symptom still exists intermittently.when this happens the immobilization light also comes on. I also experience a starting problem with the car intermittently.the dash lights normally come on when the car starts.when the car does not start, the check engine lightand the immobilization indicator light are both off.i've also seen instances where the other lights are off and only the check engine light is on.if i let the car sit for 10 minutes or more, it will start.i've had the car to the honda dealer service department.they checked my keys which were ok.they also replaced the main relay and the main computer and i am still having the problem.they are of no further help.
Have 2001 honda accord 4 dr sedan. (ex).for the last 3 months after purchasing gas, once my car reaches the 1/2 available gas level, the check engine and tcs lights come on. Has been checked, diagnostics run-no answer to problem. If i stop, reopen my gas cap, replace the cap and crank it around @ 3 times, after 4 restarts of engine, the lights go off on my dashboard. Do not see any defects with gas capas far as gaskets being defective.*cw
Instrument panel lights completely out. Very obviously the same issue referenced in nhtsa recall #04v256000 for the lx version of the accord. You can feel the heat coming off the panel (before it was permanently broken.) paid hundreds of dollars to fix it at a honda dealership, only to find that new bulbs and instrument panel didn't work. Reading over the nhtsa is like deja vu, this is exactly the problem i'm facing but for some reason the ex version of the honda accord is not included in the recall. Well ask the dealer if i can pay to have the same work as the 'should be free' recall is for the nearly identical version of the car. Extremely frustrating, makes the car very dangerous to drive at night.
Srs light continues to come on.it was reset by the dealership and then immediately upon picking the car up the srs light went on again.dealership tells me that the srs light in this car is usually set off by cell phone use in the passenger seat.i am a one person owner and do not have passengers.when srs light went on again it went on while i was using a cell phone in the driver's seat.
Takata recalls
Ignition switch locked up, and my srs light is on!
2001 honda accord v6 worst of 4 honda's i have owned. Replaced all electrical under drivers seat, replaced brake sensor 3 times - allowsgearshift to release. Rear main seal leak, transmission replaced, door lock motors replaced, led readout on odometer won't show one number, replaced the master cylinder. Car has not been in accident and had to have casters on front frame adjusted so it wouldn't chew up the tires. Most of this happened under warranty except for the rear main seal.this should have been a jag.
On may 9 when i took my car in for service (for oil change, etc.), i mentioned to the service technician that recently the yellow "maintenance light" comes on while driving. When i returned the next day to pick-up my car, i was told that the technicians could not locate the problem, and therefore they just "reset" the maintenance light on the dashboard. While driving on may 11, the speedometer in my car sporadically dropped and then went back up again (together with the yellow maintenance light flashing over and over again). After much aggravation with this unsafe driving condition, i again brought my car back to the dealer (on may 12) -- after speaking with the assistant manager about the problem. I had to get a loaner car for the day...the technician finally located the problem that day....my car needed a totally new gauge assembly (temp gauge, speedometer, fuel gauge, etc), and i was told that this part was out of the factory warranty and would cost approximately $435.....it also would take about 1 week to order. Even the service tech's indicated that usually this part only wears out after the car is about 10 to 15 yrs old. As i drove my car on may 19, all gauges in the dash assemblywere improperly working -- they (speedometer, etc.) registered at "0" as i drove and the gas tank gauge dropped to "e" (even though i had recently filled the tank)....definitely a driving hazard! after using my car for 3 days in this unsafe driving mode, i was finally told by the dealer on may 22 that the gauge assembly had arrived. I had to pay $370.86 to have this part installed on may 22. I cannot believe that a gauge assembly that is so crucial for safety while driving would not be covered by the honda corporation. Please let me know what can be done about this situation. If you need any further info, let me know.thank you.
Electrical power to the car just shuts off momentarily and then all the dashboard lights will come back on. Sometimes the car will not do anything when you put the key in the ignition to start it and then suddenly it works fine. Has shut down once while driving on the freeway.
Honda accord 2001, noise from a/c and"maintenance" light would also flicker.the light bulb behind the digital clock was replaced, the gauges on the dashboard would illuminate, when this occurred all the gauges would drop to zero for a few seconds.
Horn functions intermittently. While driving straight ahead (normal highway driving), horn does not work. Isolated the malfunction and found that the steering shaft is only intermittently grounded, and the horn requires that ground in order to function. The horn (and the steering shaft ground) operates perfectly when the key is removed from the ignition switch. It appears that something in the ignition switch is causing the loss of ground. The failure has not been repaired as of yet.
The srs light on my 2001 honda accord stays on.i have just learned that if the srs light is on, it is an indicator that the airbags will not deploy should one be in an accident.i am not pleased, to say the least.i also read that honda supposedly sent a letter to owners informing them of this defect.i have no recollection of receiving such a letter.the average cost for the repair is $700.00.i believe that honda is responsible for the defect and should repair this defect at their cost. The srs light has been on since the day i purchased my car.
Ignition switch should prevent the driver from retrieving the key while shift lever is in any position other than parking. This failure allows the driver to retrieve the key while the shift lever is in any position therefore allowing the car to roll down if parked in a slope and hit people or other cars.
Car cuts off while in traffic...pull off road and wait for a few minutes and car will start.has happened multible times and is very dangerous...my problem is there is a recall for ignition switches for 1998 honda accords for this exact problem and looking at online blogs this is not an isolated problem for the 2001 accords....why not?????
Back in 2007 i noticed i was able to remove the key from the ignition when not in park. I talked to the honda dealer to which i took my car at the time and was advised it was likely an ignition switch issue, would be expensive to repair and was not covered under any warranty.since the issue was infrequent and could be solved by ensuring the car was in park before removing the key, i was told it did not have to be fixed.the issue has happened more frequently over the years.i can now easily slide the key out while the car is in gear and running.i brought my car to the dealer, was advised honda had a recall for this issue for my make, model and year but my specific vin was not included.the nhtsa database identifies this issue as nhtsa campaign id number: 05v025000. I called and spoke to honda corporate customer service and was advise the issue was my responsibility since my vin number is not associated with the recall. I am upset and extremely disappointed honda will not take any responsibility for this issue despite the fact that i have been experiencing the exact issue described in the recall for years and my make, model and year vehicle is included in the recall.i do not understand and find it very suspect that my specific vin number is not included.internet research shows a large number of honda owners are experiencing the same issue and their vins are also suspiciously also not included in the recall.this is a safety issue and i believe honda should be forced to add any vehicle experiencing this issue to the recall and replace the defective parts at no cost to the vehicle owners.
Takata recall...i got a recall letter in the mail...i went to the dealer and had it fixed. It was the srs red light. However, the srs redlight still came on after it was fixed. When i mentioned that to the representative he said:" the srs light serves several purposes. Not only srs, but also seat restraints.and several others. If we want to determine that, it is an extra charge of $ 150.00 plus parts". I do not believe that is right. The warning light clearly says "srs".your comments please.
On 4 seperate occasions, i have been driving the car under 35 mph, when the instruments on the dashboard lit up and the car lost all power including the power steering. Today i was almost rear ended when it happened. All the events have been within the last year. I have also noticed that the radio has been skipping stations the last several days. The instrument panel that controls the clock does not work at longer. The most concerning issue is losing power as i'm driving, wondering if the person behind me is going to stop after applying the brakes and putting on my emergency signals. I am not the first person that have had this problem with the 2001 model. Someone needs to look into the situation to determine what is causing the problem and issue a notice before someone dies when the car loses power.

I have had continuous problems with my 2001 honda accord with the emergency lights.first the emergency brake light wouldn't turn off, and the dealership supposedly fixed it.it came on again just a few weeks later.i ended up taking it to another shop to be fixed.the srs light kept coming on, and it was suppose to be fixed.now it has come on and stayed on, and the dealership refuses to take care of it without charging me an exorbitant amount just to a diagnostic test.i think they should fix these problems at not cost to the customer.

Alternator wasn't charging or discharging, and replaced it free of charge.vehicle had 14 miles.manufacturer said if it happened again they would give a extended warranty.
Vehicle died out while drving onhighway as a result ofalternator going out.contacted dealer. This was a common problem.
Horn functions intermittently. While driving straight ahead (normal highway driving), horn does not work. Isolated the malfunction and found that the steering shaft is only intermittently grounded, and the horn requires that ground in order to function. The horn (and the steering shaft ground) operates perfectly when the key is removed from the ignition switch. It appears that something in the ignition switch is causing the loss of ground. The failure has not been repaired as of yet.

Instrument panel light will go out while i'm driving and i can't see the speedometer or the lights on the shifter (located in the middle near console).this is very distracting and stressful. It takes me 35 to 40 min. To drive to work, sometimes the lights go out after 15 min. Other times they don't.it is still dark in the morning when i leave so i have to use a flashlight to keep my eye on the speedometer.i also noticed my gas was very low one time and i suddenly realized my warning light never turned on.this feature is also affected.i have driven on bumpy roads and they don't turn off, smooth they do and they don't.i never know when it will happen as most of the time i drive in the daytime. All other lights work fine. Dealer could not make it repeat after having it there a whole day.after i told them that it was hard to see the dash light go out during the day time.they kept it another day to check it out again. I was told the next day it had a short.that it was going to cost me over 500.00 dollars to fix. ( i went online to check 2001 honda accord recalls)i told them that other models of the 2001 honda accords were doing the same thing and there had been recalls for them, why can't they work with me if mine is doing the same thing? i trusted the honda name and i feel this is a safety issue. This should not be happening.they just basically said sorry, we can't fix every car that has a problem for free.the government makes the rules, if they want to recall your model, they will have to do it. This was the service supervisor. I don't believe i should be responsible for this problem.how could i have prevented this? the service manager made me believe there was nothing they could do. I told them it was unsafe to drive like this but thati'd see what i could do toget the moneyto get it fixed.unfortunatelyi am still financially unable. I just don't drive at night.
Takata recall-my srs light is been on for more than 2 weeks and my side airbag lights is also coming on and off...recently my dash lights stopped working
Failure of the ignition park-shift interlock that allowed the ignition key to be removed from the ignition switch without the transmission being shifted to park.the vehicle rolled back out of a parking space after i turned-off the car while in d and removed the key from the ignition switch.this is the same issue as in nhtsa campaign 05v025000 (which did not include my vehicle's vin number).this was also addressed by nhtsa action rq08006 (which did not include my vegicle's vin number).the problem is permanent and it happens all the time.i called honda customer service and asked them to cover the fix of this issue (citing the above nhtsa reports) but they refused to do so.my request if for nhtsa to instruct honda to extend the coverage of 05v02500 to my vehicle's vin number. My issue seems identical to the same issue with honda accord 1999-2002 and many other similar models.i believe my vehicle's vin number was omitted from prior recalls (05v025000 and 10v364000) by an error.it is just out of luck that the failure did not happen earlier and din not cause a crash.

I am writing to you in regards to a safety concern with my 2001 honda accord. The engine subframe of my 2001 honda accord lx has 1/4 engine connections rotted through. This is located on the front passenger side near the strut assembly, beneath the air conditioner drain, as noted by others on posting on the internet. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the subframe was rusted. The vehicle is in excellent condition otherwise, especially with very low miles (156,000) there is very little rust on the vehicle considering it's age. My mechanic says it is unsafe to drive. He writes: 'during degreasing (and repair of radiator) found engine sub-frame rusting out and coming apart. Advised client the vehicle is a safety risk to drive in this condition'. It appears to be the result of a design flaw relating to the location of the air conditioner drain. Honda should be held responsible for this design flaw and honda should be held accountable to repair this unsafe situation. I am shocked this catastrophic safety condition was allowed to continue without warning by honda and/or the nhtsa!!
My mother had picked up my niece from her school and was waiting formy nephew and his friend to get out of high school. When ready to go, the car was difficult to start. Took about 10 min to get the car to start. After the car started, went into reverse and backed out of the parking space. Put the car in drive and it "chugged" a couple of times. Then the car accelerated unexpectedly. She was unable to slow the car down by applying the brakes. The car traveled 460 feet accelerating the whole time.the approximate speed of the car was between 60-80 mph. At the end of the parking lot, she turned left and the car hit a curb launching them into a pole that holds up the chain link fencing around the school. They went thru the fencing and into the block wall behind it coming to rest there.all 4 occupants were seen by a doctor and released that day. My mother has numerous cuts and bruises. My nephew shoulder and back are hurting him. My niece has scrapes on the right arm from the block wall. My nephews friend has a black eye.
I bought this car brand new in 2001 from a honda dealership. A couple of years later, the transmission had failed. I called the honda dealership where i had bought the car and they acknowledged that this generation had a known transmission defect. They repaired my car for free because it was still under warranty at the time and i was told that the transmission now had an extended 7year/109,000mile warranty.on july 15th, 2012,i was driving on highway 101s at 65mph when the check engine light suddenly came on. I noticed a slight loss in power, but my car did not die out. The check engine light stayed on. The next day, i decided to test drive the car again to see if the check engine light was a one time occurrence. I started up the car, put it in reverse, and then to drive. There was a sudden delayed jerk from reverse to drive. I managed to plug in a code reader into the car's computer port and pulled up two codes: p0700 and p0740. Both of these codes are associated with the transmission. Not again?!?!my car has now exceeded the extended warranty and i am afraid that honda will not cover the repairs. I read on several forums that this has also occurred to honda owners where the dealership has refused to repair the vehicle due to the expired extended warranty coverage.
Takata recall - on jan 10th 2017 my son was in a car accident with his 2001 honda accord and the airbag deployed and stuff hit him in the face he was bleeding all over his face.

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 andfound 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 ofcommunication 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.
As i pushed down on gas the car hesitated to go and my check engine light pops on. I took my car to advanced auto parts to check it and it read transmission torque converter.
Upon a standard oil change at 160,000 miles, i was informed that the front sub frame had rusted through on the passenger and driver side. I was told to talk to a body shop immediately because the car wasn't "road safe".looked into this a bit and found that this is a common problem with accords from this time period due to the placement of the air conditioning drainpipe (which empties right onto the subframe) .the car for the most part is reliable, minus the transmission that failed at 130,000 miles.but a frame shouldn't be "rusted through"after 15 years!sounds unsafe, considering the amount of these cars that are still on the road.called honda today and was informed the repair would cost over $1200 with no goodwill on their end.figured this was the best alternative to the situation.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the engine frame was corroded. While driving, a noise emitted from under the hood. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic whom performed and inspection that located a defective air conditioning tube that caused fluid to leak onto the engine frame. The engine frame was severely corroded. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 133,875.
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. I took my car into a honda dealership twice for airbag recalls and my airbag light is still lit on my dashboard. Overall, i feel as if these issues are safety hazards and i feel stuck in a horrible situation with no help from the manufacture.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for a routine maintenance and the technician detected a porous engine block.

I purchased this vehicle new in november 2001. I noticed that the transmission would not shift correctly from 1st to 2nd and read some complaints from other owners with the same problem. I took the vehicle to the local honda dealer for inspection and was told there was nothing to worry about. The problem has persisted since and has gotten worse as it gets older. Please advise of any kind of recourse i may have should a transmission replacement be necessary. I did have one solenoid on the transmission replaced a year or so ago as well as a motor mount.
My car suddenly started to stop shifting into gear.driving, it would slip out of gear and i would have to shift it into another gear to get it to move.this would fail and i would shift it into another gear.starting from red light--10 to 15 seconds with no response from car--very dangerous situation to be in. Took to honda dealer--needed a new transmission--cost $3,400. Ridiculous. Car has only 58,000 miles on it.

Transmission problems at 34,000 and now again at 120,000.this car will be on it's 3rd transmission.
My transmission started showing signs of slippage that caused the transmission light to blink and check engine light to go on after heading down a side street leaving my office for the day.the next morning i drove to service center and they said transmission had failed.this is in alignment with all the complaints (and apparent law suit from 2006) involving 2001 accords.honda will not honor participating in the cost to fix the transmission due to constraints of lawsuit even though there is precedent of goodwill repair gestures that have extended beyond the suit (to which i did not opt in to participate).i have not opted to repair the car as of yet due to the cost.

I have just traded my 2001 honda accord lx manual transmission vin#[xxx] because of a severe idling problem.the car had only 12,000 miles and hadall the routine maintenance performed as recommended by honda.it was still under warranty.i have owned a honda for over 20 years and have driven a stick shift for almost 20 years.i am very well aware of the placement of the pedals.also, the floor mat was attached to its pin near the front of the seat so it did not impede my use of the pedals.i had the idle go absolutely nuts, almost red line, after having parked the car for a short period of time and then restarting the car.this happened 3 times over about 6 months.the first two times, the car lurched forward.luckily, no one or any property was damaged.i had both crown honda of chapel hill, nc and flow honda of winston-salem, nc check the car out.in fact, flow had the car 3 weeks after the 3rd incident.neither dealer said they found a problem with the car.i was afraid to drive this car although i never had a problem with it when i was actually driving the car.my concern is that this car will be sold to someone who will not be told of the problem i have experienced.i feel this car is dangerous and someone may have an accident.i have also contacted honda corporate.i hope you will look into this problem.i have researched the internet to find if anyone else has had this problem.i have not been successful.honda says they have never had this problem.i do not know if this is an easy or hard fix.i do believe this car has a major problem.thank you. *nlminformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When car turned on, rpm needle zoomed up to 4 and would not go down. Towed car and fixed transmission for $2000. Just a little over a year later, delay in shifting.

The cam chain tensioner has failed twice and is scheduled to be worked on a third time.no accident (thankfully) has happened yet.the mechanic at the shop says it is very possible for the cam chain to 'jump time'.if this were to happen at say 55mph the rear tire of the motorcycle would probably lock up and therefore cause serious injury to the rider.i have spoken to numerous owners of this motorcycle and there seems to be several people with this same problem.honda need to address this issue before someone is seriously injured because of an apparent design flaw.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While traveling at speeds of 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The current and failure mileages was97,000.
Honda 2001 accord v6 has stuttering start problem , occasionally engine stops after starting. I contacted honda usa who said that there was an advisory about it but refused to compensate me for replacing the engine control module (ecm). I went ahead and had the ecm fixed as i was concerned that the car would "die" on the road while driving. I now read that other manufacturers are replacing the ecm as part of a recall because of the safety implication of this issue. The date of the incident is an approximate date inserted for your advisory completion. I have had the car for several years and the problem occurs in spring and fall due to gas formulation changes.
I had a problem after 200 miles (after fixed). I was driving on nov. 28, 2002 (thanksgiving day) on i-77 / i-64 (west virginia) it is a mountain area. I was driving about 65mph. It was down grade road and all of sudden my car was making big jerks in engine (like stalling or something like that) and engine shut off on middle of interstate at that place no shoulder line. Me and my family were in car and we were so lucky, that time no one behind me car / truck, otherwise someone car / truck can hit my car from back and you can think about what could happen at that time.dt
In april 2001, i purchased new honda accord ex from its dealer, planethonda in union, nj. The car had been sore for the last three years. The car was recalled because of faulty transmission. 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 was advised by nhtsa to send the complaint to nhtsa. Please forward the copy of the complaint to the appropriate department, so that they can look into the matter. Thanks....... Ashok kumar
This model honda makes a loud noise, coming from the underneath the car, when first started cold.the sound is more like a "thump" and is supspected (although i'm not certain) to be either the transmission or the exhaust system.i tried several different cars and the noise was consistent. The dealer tells me the noise is "normal"which is absurd.honda has a recall pending on earlier model cars for an exhaust syustem problem--i'm wondering if this could be related.i am not an expert so do not know if this is a serious matter or not.
Regarding oil fire danger in honda crvs and accords.i owned a 2001 honda accord coupe that had a similar problem to the problem discovered in honda crvs. This affects millions of hondas and is a fundamental design flaw. The oil filter is located directly over a flexible, woven-metal hose that is part of the exhaust system. The hose is porous.when the filter is changed, the hose -- which is often extremely hot when one pulls into a service station for an oil change -- must be covered with a leak-proof material so that oil doesn't drip onto the flexible hose. If oil gets into the woven metal of the hose, it is nearly impossible to get out -- the only practical option is to let it burn/bake out. Many new honda owners experience a strong oil odor after getting their oil changed for the first time -- this is the symptom of the problem. Anyone experiencing such an odor is at risk of fire, depending on how much oil dripped onto that hose. My mechanic cleaned off the excess oil with a rag, but some odor of burning oil remained for more than 1,000 miles.honda knows about this problem and advises its service techs to cover the hose when they change the filter. But this is not known outside of the honda community, so people who change their own oil, oil-changer chains and local garages generally don't know about this problem. (consumers then think that they got poor service from the non-honda garage, which encourages them to bring the car to a dealership the next time and pay high rates for oil changes.)honda owners whose cars have this design can avoid the problem by having the pipe covered during the oil change -- but it is difficult to access the area when changing your own oil. Honda could correct the problem by installing an aluminum sheath over the flexible pipe to protect it against dripping oil. If oil fell on the sheath, it could still smell for a while, but the risk of fire would be greatly reduced.thank you
Once engine is warm, exhaust fumes and raw fuel get into cab. While sitting in traffic consumer feels dizzy. Engine has to be shut off. It is very unhealthy to breath. The dealer could not duplicate the problem after performing short and long term test, fuel pressure check, valve timing check and valve clearance check.
Engine hesitates in approximately the 1500-2000 rpm range. Further depression of the accelerator causes rapid, unexpected and difficult to control acceleration. Releasing the accelerator then causes the engine to stall. Car has been left with a dealer twice without resolution. Engine code indicates egr system. Problem persists.
Rough idling and hesitation to the point of stalling. *ph the problem was due to a faulty egr valve. *sc
Honda accord 2001, noise from a/c and"maintenance" light would also flicker.the light bulb behind the digital clock was replaced, the gauges on the dashboard would illuminate, when this occurred all the gauges would drop to zero for a few seconds.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the engine frame was corroded. While driving, a noise emitted from under the hood. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic whom performed and inspection that located a defective air conditioning tube that caused fluid to leak onto the engine frame. The engine frame was severely corroded. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the air conditioning hose drained on the front passenger side subframe, which caused the subframe to rust without warning.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 192,000.
Air bag light illuminated on 8/10/2003. Dealer stated cell phone causedfront and side air bags to deactivate. Dealerurged the consumer not to use the cell phone in the vehicle.also, manufacturer isaware of the problem.
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.
The air bag light was on.dealer stated that consumers'cell phone on the seat made the light go on. Dealer showedconsumer a paper, stating that the electronic devices causedproblems with air bags.the consumer paid $300.00 for the repairs.
The vehicle was involved in an accident, and the air bags did not deploy, consumer was injured, however prior to incident, the air bag light illuminated, but the dealer stated nothing was wrong.also, dealer made repairs on cruise control and radio.*la
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.the contact stated that the turning signals and the brake lights failed.

The failure mileage was 117,000 and the current mileage 118,218.
The axel that holds my tires on do not hold the bolts that are put on. I have had to replace every single bolt on all four tires once a month, if not more. The bolts come lose after replacing them and tightening them. The bolts keep cross threading after fixing them and putting them on correctly. My driver seat belt comes undone while driving down the road. The interior lights where the clock is and below come on and off randomly. This happens on a day to day basis, ever since i purchased my car. I will be driving down the road and hear a noise coming from my tires, pull over and a bolt or two has come off. This is unsafe for not only me but my family.
Obviously, motor vehicle headlights are essential safety equipment. The headlight lenses in all cars become clouded over time regardless of maintence or brand of vehicle. This is a definite safety hazard as light from the headlights is greatly reduced. Replacement on my car is approx. $400 per lens. This is perfectly avoidable by using better materials. Auto manufacturers should be made to replace them at their cost, and use proper materials in all new cars manufactured. I am stunned that no regulating body has done their job in addressing and correcting this serious issue.
My sis light is on and my dash is dark(illumination doesn't work.stationary and motion no difference
Hi!i am hoping to own this car for ten more years.since purchase complained headlights not working (have service complaint documented) as i cannot see in snow, rain, ice, when you need them the most. Also believe car fills with exhaust fumes for many years.has anyone checked this out?
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.the vehicle was repaired according to nhtsa campaign id number 04v086000 (exterior lighting:headlights); however, the contact is currently experiencing the failure described in the recall.while driving 65 mph, the headlights suddenly dimmed.there were no warnings prior to the failure.the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer.the current and failure mileages were 61,000.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that vehicleinstrument panel lights, interior lights, parking lamps and tail lamps were defective. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign id number: 04v256000 (component: interior lighting). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 99,000.
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. So if i do get into an accident due to these defects being faulty to begin with don't say i didn't try and get help.
The interior dashboard panel lights fail to light up.
Park light didn't go off in the morning at the first start. Stop, turned off engine, restart again, release park brake, it was still on. It turned of after about 5min later. No other abnormal noticed. Brake oil level is in good. This also happened on 13th, 19th, 20th. Drove to dealer, but the light work well that day. They told me they can't do anything in the case the light work well. Call honda company, they suggest to visit dealer. No other suggestion. Only suggest visit dealer while it is on. But it makes me feel not safe.

The gas tank on my 2001 honda accord started to leak from the horizontal welded seam at approx. 126,000 miles. It was not noticed for over a month since it only leaked when the tank was over half full. During that period, my daughter used the car and often transported her three children to their school. When the car was brought into the local honda dealership, honda bloomfield, they considered the leak serious enough to take immediate fire/explosion precautions around the car. They replaced the tank at a cost of $1,307.20. After i complained, they reduced the bill by 50%, but would not let me have the old tank. I was told that honda had a 30 day option to keep the old tank since they had paid for part of the repair. They allowed me to take photos of the tank which show extensive rust and delamination of the welded seam all around the tank. I purchased the car new from anderson honda (now bloomfield honda) and it has been used as normal daily transportation in the detroit metropolitan area in summer and winter and has had all major maintenance performed by the anderson - bloomfield dealership. The car has had no rear end collision damage and is normally parked outside when not in use. I feel this was a dangerous failure and should be fully covered by honda. Even a minor rear end collision could have started a fire. Honda gas tanks should be able to survive typical michigan driving conditions or should have an inspection/replacement mileage limit imposed similar to the engine timing belts.
Tl * the contact owns a 2001 honda accord ex. While driving at speeds of 45 mph, the vehicle began to abnormally shake. The contact then drove the vehicle to a local repair shop while driving at relatively low speeds. The independent mechanic advised the contact that the exhaust gas recirculation flow and port were clogged, causing the violent shaking. The vehicle was not repaired.the failure and current mileage were 83,000.
Vehicle developed leaks in brake line and fuel line in region below floor pan.this was due to rust-through. Service advisor informed me that this condition has been showing up lately, and showed me an assembly that had been recently replaced on a similar vehicle.vehicle was impounded by dealer because of potential total failure of systems.vehicle required almost two weeks to repair because honda had a national backorder on the replacement parts.this suggests to me that there may be a sudden demand for these parts.
While starting the vehicle, the accelerator pedal became stuck. The consumer called the dealership and the person who answered,indicated to the consumer that they already knew what it was , a carbon buildup in the gas line that froze the line. Consumer was charged$120.00 to fix it. The gas pedal sticks causing the vehicle to lurch forward.*tc
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the fuel gauge did not give an accurate reading on how much fuel was in the fuel tank.

Check engine light came on sporadically and then there was a slight gas smell. Mechanic discovered a small hole at the top of the gas tank. He stated he had never seen a gas tank rust from the top before. This car is only 8 years old and had been rustproofed from the factory. The gas tank had to be replaced at a cost of $1,200.00.
Have 2001 honda accord 4 dr sedan. (ex).for the last 3 months after purchasing gas, once my car reaches the 1/2 available gas level, the check engine and tcs lights come on.

Do not see any defects with gas capas far as gaskets being defective.*cw
The gas pedal sticks randomly, causing unwanted rapid acceleration. Happens anytime, anywhere without warning. I have come very close to hitting many cars in parking lots and while driving in stop-and-go traffic. I first noticed it a couple months after i purchased the car, but the dealer service rep told me it would go away in time. A year later, i was still having the same problem. I had moved by then so i contacted a different dealer, weir canyon honda in anaheim hills, and i had to fight with the guy at service to repair it under warranty. After getting the receipt, i noticed that they had only completed one of three procedures that they explained to me and tried to charge me for. As i drove out of the service center, it got stuck again and i almost hit one of their new cars (if i had, maybe they would believe me). I put up with it for a couple more months and finally took it back again. They told me there would be a charge, although their service is under warranty for 12 months or 12000 miles. I explained that the service manager was aware of the issue and had promised to do whatever necessary to resolve the problem. They grudgingly agreed to perform all three steps of their normal service for this problem but told me it was just a 'one time courtesy' and that future problems would be my responsibility. The service rep insisted that 'honda does not make parts that cause such problems' and accused me of causing the problem by the way i drive. I have my car back, but i'm wondering if and when it will start having problems again, and if so, whether they will honor their service warranty.
While parking vehicle rapidly accelerated jumping two curbs, damaging three other vehicles, a small pickup truck, and a chain link fence.
There is currently a recall on honda accord ex 2001(which is the year make and model of my car) for dimmer control lights inside the car not lighting up.my car has this exact problem / periodically the dashboard lights go completely black and do not work.i cannot see how fast i'm going, i cannot see if i am almost out of gas, cannot see if the car is overheating, cannot see anything on the dashboard.this is very dangerous when it is dark.i checked the recall and noticed that my year/make/model does have a recall for this problem but when i called honda they did not include my vin# so they won't fix it.my mechanic told me my car is way to new to be having this problem.i am requesting that this be researched because i feel my vin# needs to be added to this recall list.when it is dark this is very dangerous.my vin # is [xxx] the recall # is campaign# 04v256000 june 7 - 2004thank you.updated 07/18/2012 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
Instrument panel lights go out andat night i can't see some of the gauges like thespeedometer or gas gauge. But other lights like, check engine, maintenance required, tcs lights work ok.i have read what nhtsa considers a safety hazard and lighting is one of them. There has already been a safety recall on other 2001 honda v6 models with the same problem as i am experiencing. Yet, there is no investigation being done on my problem. Nhtsa representatives won't even talk to me, i get a person on the phone and the only thing they keep repeating is " there is no investigation being done on your vehicle at this time" i feel like im talking to a machine.i would like some feed back from a person at nhtsa as to why this problem is not being addressed. What is happening to the hondas? i've already gotten two other recall notices of other problems. I am very discouraged with what's going on.i paid a lot of money for my car because i trusted the honda name, also to maintain it in top condition. I just don't feel that i should be responsible for this defect.
Nhtsa recall 04v256000 subject: instrument panel dimmer control.after having the multiplex control unit for the instrument panel lights replaced, the dimmer control for the instrument panel lights failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and the cause has not been determined at this time.
A few months ago we began experiencing intermittent failure of the lighting on the instrument panel. We took the car to our local repair shop, who determined the dimmer control for the instrument panel lights was failing, and they replaced it with a genuine honda part.this did not fix the issue. Instead, the instrument panel lights are now non-functional, causing the whole cluster to need to be replaced. I was searching the nhtsa website and found nhtsa campaign number 04v256000. Which states, 'on certain passenger vehicles, the dimmer control for the instrument panel lights could fail due to heat buildup. Consequence: if this occurs, the instrument lights may fail and, at night, the driver may not be able to see the instrument panel gauges, such as the speedometer'. I phoned honda and was told our car was not included in the recall.i then searched the web, and found many instances where other 2000/2001 honda accords have suffered this same problem but were not included in the recall.i have called our local honda dealership and the national 800 service number, all of whom have told me that our car is not included with this recall. Though, the situation is too much alike to be a coincidence.

If this occurs, the instrument lights may fail and, at night, the driver may not be able to see the instrument panel gauges, such as the speedometer.
The instrument panel backlighting fails intermittently for days at a time. When it's out, i cannot see the speedometer or any gauges on the dash at night. I have to use a flashlight or other external lighting to see the gauges. The backlighting never flickers -- it's either on or it's off. I am unable to discern any pattern or action that causes the backlighting to go out or to begin working again. The dash indicator lights still work. My 2001 honda accord ex-v6 sedan was not covered under recall 04v256000. My dimmer control works when the backlighting is working (and still dims the radio and climate controls even when the backlighting is not working). I replaced the multiplex control unit at my own expense in sept. 2009, but it has had no effect on the problem.

Odometer light does not come on. Dealership said that this is not a recall for my [2001 honda accord.[ recall id 04v256000].this could cause all instrument panel lights to fail.
Refer to nhtsa campaign id #04v256000.i have 2001 honda accord ex.my instrument light on the car failed and i cannot see gauges at night time.i am taking a flashlight with you at night when i am driving.according to #04v256000, it only covers certain lx models.i think it should be expand to ex models as well.i was shocked after the dealer told me that they cannot fix because your car is not on a recall list even though it is obviously due to the failure of potentiometer.

Transmission failure. Had intermittent problems that could not be diagnosed when under 100000 miles. Transmission finally failed at 108,500 miles. Dealership & american honda have only offered 50% discount on a known problem with their cars. I feel they should be responsible for entire cost. They were using a cop out to not honor their product. I am only a little over their extended coverage offer. Also, they stated that even though i have a great service history i did not have it done through them, instead i did have my maintenance done with goodyear shop which was an established car center. I bought the honda believing i would not have to encounter these issues. I can understand little problems, but not one to this extent. I just thank god that my two month old child was not in the car w/ me when it finally broke down. I had to spend $200 on towing fees. All attempts to speak with american honda was disappointing. I also followed up with research on service history, and have come to the conclusion that honda was just not the name it use to be.
My 2001 honda accord is completely out of service. Due to the transmission failure.i have made complaints to the dealership where i purchase and service my vehicle.i am out of a car, and no transportation, because the dealer refuse to repair the problem on my (2) year old vehicle.i am a customer and feel very much vaildated by this action. I was told by the service manager that my warranty had expired, i am aware of the secret warranty that same dealerships have to cover this matter.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the engine warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the torque converter clutch solenoid malfunctioned prematurely and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 101,000.
A loud sound came from transmission during acceleration, and the check engine came on, along with the d4 indicator started blinking.transmission started slipping.
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. I took my car into a honda dealership twice for airbag recalls and my airbag light is still lit on my dashboard. Overall, i feel as if these issues are safety hazards and i feel stuck in a horrible situation with no help from the manufacture.
Car started shifting hard into first and second gears.then my check engine light came on and the code: p0740 came up.i have researched this issue and have found that there was a lawsuit in ca regarding this and that it is a major issue for my generation honda.i had my transmission fluids checked and the levels are fine, color is good, and it does not smell burnt.before i pay for a hefty repair, i would like to know if honda has, or will, taken any responsibility for repairs or replacement.
2001 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to transmission problems.the consumer was quoted a price of $2400 for a re-built transmission from one dealer and $3,000 from another dealer for a brand new transmission.
Transmission went bad at 96,000 miles. Honda is fully aware of a defective torque-converter which ruins the unit. Went to the torrington, ct dealership today, spent $116.00 to be told what i already knew-transmission needs replacement. Was quoted $4,050.00.to repair it. Honda offered $1,000.00 toward the repair which i declined. This is a huge safety issue, not to mention wrong since i can no longer use the car. How does honda get away with this? they issued a directive tsb but not a recall despite scores of honda owners experiencing transmission failures in various driving scenarios. Someone will get hurt or die due to honda's negligence.
Bought the car new in 2001 from john eagle honda clear lake. The first transmission gave out at 37400 miles due to a defective transmission. Car transmission suddenly started making noise and slipping between gears. Honda placed vehicle on their computer and received an error message. We were told a new transmission was only solution. The same error message came up on the "new" transmission.we were told to try honda customer service for assistance, which told us the solution, was totally up to the dealership.we waited for over two weeks for [xxx]to call; i had to call him again today to get his reply. The clear lake honda dealership that we have been going to since 1997 says their "hands are tied". [xxx] the service manager states he talked to vernon sage, district manager, and states they have no transmissions to correct another defected transmission but they can sell me a new one??!! this is an issue of safety not just cost and it is absolutely unacceptable that honda cannot honor their mistake. If this transmission would go out while on a highway there could be a real tragedy. They knowingly replaced transmissions with the same defect. This car is driven 90 percent on the highway andwells maintained w/the same honda dealer. There is no reason that this car should need two transmissions within only 112000 miles. The dealer passes the problem to honda customer service, which in turn hands the problem back over to the dealer. It should be a crime to know of a failure that could cause a major tragedy and not honor or accept your mistake and make it right. This is an issue caused 100% by a known defective transmission that honda and the dealership are completely aware of. There are entirely too many other honda owners with the exact same problem with the second transmission. There is not any "goodwill" from honda by putting in the same defect.

Transmission problems at 34,000 and now again at 120,000.this car will be on it's 3rd transmission.
Nothing has happened. Yet.around 5/22 my check engine light went on.on 5/29 i had my mechanic scan the computer.what came up is transmission issues.he told me that most likely it will need to be rebuilt or replaced.so far there are no behavioral symptoms, only the warning light and the computer reading.i will have to take the car in for an extended test before knowing the full extent of the damage.meanwhile, i am driving a vehicle that could kill me or others at any time if the transmission seizes up in an inopportune setting and time.
The transmission slips all the time when trying to move from a full stop the rpm's rev but no movement then it jerks.
On several occasions prior to august, 2010, i have parked the vehicle, exited the vehicle, locked the doors and returned from my errand, only to find that the vehicle had been left in gear.nothing happened on the first several occasions but then in 2010, there was a recall on certain hondas for the same problem i had experienced. The keys are not supposed to come out of the vehicle if it is left in gear. At the point of that recall, i contacted honda (2010) but they told me my vehicle was not included in the recall, and if there ever was a recall on that issue, i would be notified.fast forward to thursday, december 6, when there was another occurrence, this time much more serious.i was in a parking lot, got out of my car, locked the car and started walking away.i then noticed the vehicle rolling forward towards the car in front of me.i got between my vehicle and the other vehicle and tried to stop it and was injured in the process (only bruises, though). The car hit the car in front of me.now i see that there is a recall on some other hondas for the same issue, but mine is still not included.this is a continuing problem and should be recognized by honda, especially since it's obvious it's occurred in many other hondas.i don't understand why they won't do anything about my vehicle and it is likely another incident will occur and one day, it may hit a child in a parking lot!
After have the recall done on this car 5 years ago.my transmission is having all the issues known by everyone.engine light is one service computer states transmission shifting problem.aamco has told me that its a known issues with this model car to have transmission issue before the recall and way after and yet honda is silent! i am sorry but this is just not right!
The vehicle shifts hard from1st to 2nd and 2nd to 1st. The same problem that honda settled out of court for in 2006 class action settlement. Reports are that honda only pays 50-75% of repair costs. In this case the repair costs are roughly 75% of the vehicles total value.
My honda has a leaking transmission and is starting to slip horribly. It leaks about a quart a week. Every morning a come to see a big puddle of transmission fluid under my car.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle jerked and the acceleration decreased. The vehicle would not accelerate past 20 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing, but the results were unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 212,000.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While stopped, the contact applied the accelerator pedal but the vehicle would not accelerate. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic. The mechanic stated to the contact that the transmission would have to be replaced due to a failure in the differential bearing. The transmission was previously replaced twice by a dealer under a manufacturer's recall. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.
I have 117000 mile on honda accord 2001 (v4) and car is slow to accelerate at signal or stop sign. Took it to the dealer and they are recommending to replace transmission for $4600 because it's faulty.
Car shifts really hard and rough out of first gear. Ive driven many many accords from working at auctions, ive owned two in my entire life and they all have shift problems. I canā€™t believe this isnā€™t a campaign already????!!!!! these trannys are notorious for going out. Please if thereā€™s some sort of bulletin or something i missed let me know lol! (wishful thinking)
On january 21, 2010 i bought a 2001 honda accord ex from a private party. I have owned honda vehicles all my life; the dependability is a major reason why.after owning the vehicle for almost 1 year, the transmission started giving me problems. The transmission would slip out of gear and not engage. It would eventually not work all together. I took the vehicle into my local automobile shop and to my surprise they told me i needed a new transmission. The cost was nearly $2100 just to get a rebuilt one. A new one from the dealership would cost me anywhere from $3000-$4000. I called my local honda dealership and spoke with a service representative who told me since i purchased it through a private party i would need to call honda. He also told me that there were some issues in the past with accord transmissions. On the same day, i called honda and spoke with a representative that worked in the recall department. He told me that honda did indeed have transmission failure issues with the honda accord of that year; but that my honda would not be covered because it had 130,000 miles vs. The warranty coverage of 109,000 miles. Unsatisfied with the results, i spoke with a supervisor and she informed me that she looked into alternatives as far as paying for the expenses; and she was unable to find a solution. To my disappointment; i was unable to receive assistance to pay for this large bill that was due to a defective transmission manufacturer's by honda. As a long term consumer of honda; words cannot explain my melancholy. Since i was given no assistance, and my honda is my only means of transportation to work, i was left with no other option than to incur a financial hardship by covering the expenses myself. Total cost = $2083.
I had transmission replaced at 60,000 miles 2 months after i purchased it. Paul moak pontiac in jackson, ms supposedly put a new transmission in the vehicle. I never really felt that it operated correctly. How could it if honda made all these transmissions. Now 7 years later, october 2012, i have another code or automatic transaxle problem. Ridiculous.i just bought another used 2000 honda accord and i pray that i don't encounter this same issue.
In recent months the transmission in my 2001 honda accord has been slipping.diagnostic at honda dealers shows the transmission needs replacement.they are asking for $3,350 to replace the transmission even though they are well aware that this year's model has a defective transmission. The bay area manager was consulted and he refuses to replace the transmission or even offer the repair at a reduced rate, he simply refuses to accept any responsibility for the failure of their product. When i called honda of america/headquarters, they basically told me that whatever the manager decided is what they back up. I feel strongly that despite mileage or number of years, should a transmission fail in these vehicles, honda should at the least offer a repair at a reduced rate.perhaps only charge for parts and not labor but they should be trying to make good with their customers.this is one of three hondas in the family and i mentioned this in discussions but they obviously have no loyalty to their customers.
As i pushed down on gas the car hesitated to go and my check engine light pops on. I took my car to advanced auto parts to check it and it read transmission torque converter.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled sporadically when driving at any speed. When the engine was restarted and the gear was shifted, the vehicle would jerk abnormally. The failure was experienced numerous times. The vehicle was taken to several mechanics who performed diagnostic testing and located the failure at the transmission drive shaft. The transmission was replaced and the failure was repaired. The failure and current mileage was not available.
There have been several recalls for different honda vehicles with this problem: the mechanism that locks the key in the ignition while the vehicles are in gear can wear out. When that happens, drivers are able to remove keys without shifting into park. I can take the key out without the car being in park. There have been no injuries to date.i have been trying to make sure that i put the emergency brake on everytime i park my car.this has been happening with my car for several years, but it has never been included in a recall. I am not sure when it started or what the mileage of the car was when it started.i called honda today when i saw the latest recall to see if they would fix my car or if i have to wait until someone gets hurt or dies and they say to contact you because they could not just include my car in the recall.
The transmission started making hard shifts . It has gotten to the point now that i am going to have to replace the transmission.
My car suddenly started to stop shifting into gear.driving, it would slip out of gear and i would have to shift it into another gear to get it to move.this would fail and i would shift it into another gear.starting from red light--10 to 15 seconds with no response from car--very dangerous situation to be in. Took to honda dealer--needed a new transmission--cost $3,400. Ridiculous. Car has only 58,000 miles on it.
Transmission started slipping then during the same local trip started jerking violently while in traffic. Once pulled over it was taken to a garage to get looked at. It was diagnosed with having a failed transmission.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact was driving up an incline approximately 20 mph when the transmission began to hesitate excessively during acceleration with a loud unusual noise. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated the transmission would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. Updated 10/27/11*ljupdated 11/07/11
When coming to a stop the car did not down shift to first gear.when the gas was applied it banged into first gear.i took it to the honda dealer who double drained and refilled the transmission.it worked great for a few days and now slips and shifts at will.i am told it needs a new transmission.the honda dealer asked american honda to participate financially in the repair.american honda declined.i was never notified of the premature failure findings or the class action law suit.i purchased this vehicle new and have maintained it according to manufacturers recommendations.the car is now not safe to drive as the transmission can fail at any time with no warning.i think american honda should participate in the cost of repair as they have with so many thousands of similar vehicles.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the key was able to be removed without the gear shifter being in park. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated a lever located in the transmission would have to be replaced in order to prevent the failure from recurring. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Transmission slips and clunks when shifting from first to second gear. Srs light illuminated on dash. Side airbag light illuminates intermittently.the consumer stated the traction control light came on the dash, stating it had turned off.the consumer stated he didn't thinkmuch of it at first, but then he noticed when the brake pedal was pressed hard to the floor a even relatively low speeds, the brakes didn't respond as they hosuld.; basically the brakes were not effecgtive when having to stop suddenly. 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 amile down the road, the problem happened again.the repair shop found a a bad connection from the ebcm to the brake light switch.
Hi purchased a used honda accord on saturday everything ran fine for about 30 min the. When i got off the freeway i noticed to trans was starting to slip got home and looked under the car and there was trans fluid everywhere on the ground car had lost a good amount of atf.just spent 4000 on a used car went to the dealer told me the trans was serviced there at 114,000 miles for a trans service 16,000 miles later in going in on a massive leak. Reading about this trans has me worried as i got a car with decent miles thought i'd get a lot more then 40 miles out of it it's at the dealership now awaiting diagnosis if they say its my trans i'm going after someone.
A failed transmission on a used 2001 honda accord.this transmission failed not long after the extended warranty period.it took a little longer to break.honda refuses to help getting it fixed even though they are aware of their sub-standard product.
Our 2001 honda accord experienced a failed transmission at 180,000 miles.the car started shifting rough at 70,000 miles, and we reported the issue to the honda dealer.they inspected and said that it was normal.we contacted honda of america (1-800-999-1009) and they would not help us at all.with a bit of research we found out that according to a lot of reports on the internet have been aware of this issue, and have helped some owners pay for the costs of replacing or repairing the transmission. However, there is a liability and responsibility issue here and we, as well as every honda owner should have been made aware that there vehicles may have transmission defects which could lead to technical and safety problems. Honda should have sent notices to honda owners alerting them to take their vehicles to nearby dealerships to have them inspected. It is apparent that honda was and is aware of this issue and by not issuing a recall or an alert, then they are avoiding liability and responsibility to correct their deficiency and are handling these issues on a cases by case basis, hoping that they can steer clear of a national recall. This problem is a clear result of honda's negligence and attempts to conceal a matter for which they have knowledge of and for which that have already admitted to by assisting customers on a cases by case basis.
December 7, 2002-took car to honda cars of hickory. Problem: sudden downshifting/replaced with remanufactured transmission(was told could not have new one) december 26, 2002-took car back for same problem: replaced transmission again january 4, 2003-transmission fluid leaking-tried to sealoff leak february 27, 2003-transmission still leaking march 6,2003-same problem-told me idler pulley was problem, not transmission another visit(not sure of date)transmission replaced due to fluid leak.currently having more problems with transmission coming out of gear and with traction control system (according to owners' manual-diagnostic problem) service manager, kevin stein, not returning phone calls!
Hard shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. After doing research on the 2001 honda accord transmissions. I'm not the only one that has this problem. There are so many people that believe how greathonda vehicles are and it seems that honda doesn't want to do anything about it. My sister inlaw was looking at a new 2016 honda. I showed her all the problems that honda had and she decided to buy something else. Shame on honda for not taking care of there customers. You need to recall this transmission and do the right thing. We call this ( standing behind our products and customers ). Hope you do the right thing...
I am the original owner of a 2001 honda accord, the automatic transmission failed at 78800. I paid $4000 to honda dealer to install a remanufactured auto transmission, the second transmission failed completely at 14600 miles again.
Fuel tank gauge reads not full whentank is actually filled.consumer took it dealer and hadgauge replaced.gauge was not grinding properly.odometer was affected.afterfuel gauge was replaced, it erased the correct mileage onodmeter.
I cannot make it across busy streets safely due to my vehicles transmission torque converter. It takes too long to engage from first to second gear. There was a recall on this issue back in 2004. I bought this car from someone in 2014 not knowing about it. Issues include: transmission slips or won't engage. Car stutters or jerks while accelerating. Check engine light on.
2001 honda accord. Transmission problem might lead to loss in gears during high speed; especially when driving on the highway*cwthe consumer was informed his vehicle was not included in the warranty extension for the transmission.
Vehicle was leaking transmission fluid. Dealer attempted to repair twice. The problem reoccurred and dealership replaced transmission.i expect more reliability out of an $18,000 dollar purchase. Both the dealership and manufacturer refused an extended warranty on the transmission. One year later i received extended warranty information for transmission on all 2001 honda accords. It turns out we were not the only ones who purchased a lemon. There are other complaints of this same sort on the nhtsa site.
At 65 to 70 miles an hour on straight interstate car began to steer irradically to right. No response to wheel correction, fish tailing, struck one side concrete wall and crossed road to left guard rail.brakes tried at least twice without response and correction of wheel after first hit did not correct direction.airbags deployed front and right side after first hit and perhaps only on second.no significant injuries.total front damage.serpentine belt seen hanging upon removal of car.tie rods and cv joint boots intact, but transmission just replaced under warrantee and cv joints on order for wear perhaps related to transmission being "very sloppy"creating front end vibration in floor at 50 miles an hour to 60 relieved by putting gear into neutral.feel steering failure perhaps related to serpentine belt failure.
Transmission failure with low mileage needs recall major problem with alot of people who cant afford the repair costs.the honda company is not helpful, with wanting to fix 2001 models, i think its rediculous, if the car is under 100k mi. They should fix it for free its there responsibility as a company to do so.
In 2006 honda issued an extended warranty on the transmission due to the many complaints/failures. Shortly thereafter we started experiencing slipping/missing gears and took it to klein honda in everett where we purchased it. They ran the diagnostic and told us that it wasn't bad enough to warrant a replacement. Since then it has slowly gotten worse to the point where it is becoming a safety issue because we never really know if it is going to catch and actually go or when it will just decide to stall. Now of course it is past the extended warranty and the dealer refuses to fix it.
Automatic transmission shifts hard going into second gear. Known problems with 2001 honda v6 transmissions.american honda ("ah") has admitted my car's transmission should have been fixed, but they did not send me the notice and now the warranty has passed. Many owners have experienced this problem and now we are stuck with transmissions that need to be replaced at $4500. My car is under 143,000 miles. Driving my car with this issue is a safety hazard and ah does not want to take ownership of this issue despite my various calls to them and they acknowledging it was a faulty transmission.
Transmission failure at 68,830 miles-this is a known honda problem-this failure has never been addressed by a recall from honda
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. When the contact's wife parked the vehicle in the driveway and removed the key from the ignition, the vehicle rolled backwards and almost ran over the contact's spouse. There were no warning indicators illuminated. Arrow head honda (8380 w bell rd, peoria, az 85382, (623) 562-9054) stated that they would not service the vehicle because it was out of warranty. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 79,632.
While driving, the d4 indicator from the transmission is illuminated. Extremely slow or delayed gear engagement, upshifts or downshifts.loud noise from the transmissionthis posed a danger while driving.honda dealership told me there was no warranty extension.but upon calling honda they told me there was an extension of warranty.
I really love my honda accords. I have owned several. This is the first one i have owned with over 125k miles. It was given to me by my mother-in-law. She owned it for about 7 years. It start to seem like it was a little off mechanically. She didn't know what the issues were and after 7 years she didn't want to put a ton of money into it. So she parked this one and bought a new one. It was parked for about 5 months before i started driving it. Since it was sitting for a while i did change the oil and make sure other fluids were topped off. Right away, i notice the transmission was shifting hard and slipping a little. So i pulled over and checked the granny fluid which was perfect! i just figured maybe it just needed to be driven a little and lube everything up again. I checked the fluid daily with no change to the level. A week later it's still the same. With no improvement i drained a little fluid out and added lucas as recommended by my honda service tech. Still no improvement. I researched a little and found that this is common to start having issues around 150k miles. That's hardly any miles for a honda! in further research i find that nearly every honda for sale is being sold due to the start of granny problems and every one that's being parted out is being parted out because the granny went out. So no luck on a used granny swap! i am absolutely shocked that with the excellent reputation honda has that this hasn't been a part of a recall! i mean come on honda...i realize this is an expensive part to have recalled, but when your reputation goes down the toilet over the 6th gen accord transmission...what will effect the companies worth more? the cost of this becoming a recall and replacing these transmissions or the decline in future sales due to not repairing the vehicles that people pay hard earned money for?!
On certain passenger vehicles,the interlock operation of the ignition switch may not function properly, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to park
I own a 2001 honda accord which has been experiencing problems at 70,000 miles with the transmission slipping and not shifting smoothly. My research has indicated that this is a common problem but honda has only recalled 2003-2004 accords even though they have the same transmission. I am very dissatisfied with this reliability issue considering i bought the accord for its reliability.
The transmission made a loud noise.
Transmission failure to shift into 2nd gear some times. Car taken to dealer on extended warranty and refused maintenance due to age of car..many honda's having this problem and need a recall to resolve this issue as it shouldn't happen. Second problem is driver seat belt. Air bags replaced on recall and shortly after the srs light came on. Dealer says problem not in air bags but driver seat belt module in seat buckle. Seat belt warranty for life of vehicle but honda says the buckle where switch is not covered. You can not replace switch but must buy the complete seat belt strap and buckle. To me the seat belt buckle-strap is part of the seat belt. Honda warranty says a seat belt that fails to function properly is covered for the useful life of the vehicle. This is a safety problem as with this failure honda manual says air bags will not fire when srs light on.
While driving on the highway the transmission slipped out of gear & would not engage right away causing a very dangerous situation. The person driving behind me almost hit me from behind & became very angry because i couldn't change lanes quick enough to get out of the way due to heavy traffic. Now the transmission slips when it tries to shift between gears at lower speeds (it is an automatic) or makes a hard clunk when putting into drive.
Transmission needs to be replaced.car will not go into reverse.this is a honda recall and honda will not honor since the car is over the age for the warranty but still within the mileage.this vehicle was always serviced at the dealer where it was purchased and were never informed of the recall.
I purchased this vehicle new in november 2001. I noticed that the transmission would not shift correctly from 1st to 2nd and read some complaints from other owners with the same problem. I took the vehicle to the local honda dealer for inspection and was told there was nothing to worry about. The problem has persisted since and has gotten worse as it gets older. Please advise of any kind of recourse i may have should a transmission replacement be necessary. I did have one solenoid on the transmission replaced a year or so ago as well as a motor mount.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact statedthere was a loud noise upon shifting gears. The service engine sensor and the gear sensor illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact was not included in nhtsa campaign id number: 11v395000 (power train). The vehicle was to be inspected and repaired by an authorized dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle emitted a loud grinding noise while changing gears. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and a complaint was filed. No further assistance was provided. The contact also stated that the transmission was replaced once prior at the mileage was 55,000 on september 6, 2011. The failure mileage was 55,000 and the current mileage was 91,613.
Transmission failure while pulling into traffic, close call accident averted by defensive maneuvers by two vehicles. Request for assistance to honda america denied. Vehicle was one covered by a honda america extended warranty as the result of a class action lawsuit. Although mi. Was still below extended warranty limit time limit was expired and honda denied any assistance.
Transmission failure-on 11-21-2011 my transmission failed and now has to be replaced with a new honda transmission at a cost of $4,000.00.
2001 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to vehicle transmission failure.the consumer learned after the transmission failed, and had it fixed, a class-action suit had been filed against honda. Prior to the replacement of the transmission, the consumer noticed the transmission was hesitating on upon shifting. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop, and upon disassembly, it was noted that the third gear clutch pack was worn. Also, the steering rack was leaking.
Any automatic transmission recall
I brought in my 2001 honda accord ex to my long-term honda dealer (i'm the original owner of the auto), because i noticed that my transmission seemed to be acting up. They informed me that a new transmission needed to be installed (appx. $4800). I found myself in a predicament because the kbbv was only between $4000-$5500. I was not pleased that a honda could need a new tranny with that low mileage (we moved to holland for four years and the car sat during the '01- present). But, i looked at my service records and noticed that honda had already installed a 2nd transmission in 2003. What? this now means that this new one would be the third transmission in a car with 69,900 highway miles.?!?!?! honda america, along with my dealer, said there is nothing they can do as the time warranty has expired (7 years, 8 months they said they extended it to because there were so many complaints about this year's transmission. I explained, "okay, fine, then naturally we must take both transmissions that have failed and add the years=appx. 11.6-12 years. Now, the mileage and the time should be covered. They must need an abbasid because my math did not compute with them. Why am i writing? i read online that there are thousands of these faulty cars on the road and last saturday when we were stopped at a red light, it turned green, i pressed down on the pedal, and nothing; no movement. We were then, very lightly because the light had just changed, hit in the back. My 5 and 9 year old sons were in their car seats and were very frightened and upset. Honda america is aware of this faulty design and yet refuses to offer a honest and goodwill safety/service recall. What if the accident had been worse and my dealer had kept their knowledge of the possible accident to themselves just to make $5000? i believe each of my children would be worth more than $2500 apiece!
My check engine light came on, and i was informed that i needed a new transmission. I was told this may be covered under an extended warranty that honda issued due to this very common transmission problem. Honda informed me that this warranty is expired, and offered me a used transmission with 64,000 miles on it, and a 12,000 mile or 1 year warranty which ever comes first for $3,250. Honda needs to issue a recall for this faulty transmission because their warranty extension has left people like me with a vehicle that is a safety hazard and a minimum $3,250 repair.the offer for this used transmission is a joke because it's the same transmission that i currently have, so what happens if it to fails not even a year and a half from the date i purchased it. Transmissions that have been taken very well care of (this car was previously owned by a mechanic) do not fail just before they reach 75,000 miles. Honda needs to accept responsibility, and issue a recall for this transmission.
My transmission started showing signs of slippage that caused the transmission light to blink and check engine light to go on after heading down a side street leaving my office for the day.the next morning i drove to service center and they said transmission had failed.this is in alignment with all the complaints (and apparent law suit from 2006) involving 2001 accords.honda will not honor participating in the cost to fix the transmission due to constraints of lawsuit even though there is precedent of goodwill repair gestures that have extended beyond the suit (to which i did not opt in to participate).i have not opted to repair the car as of yet due to the cost.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While driving at 30 mph, the contact heard a noise underneath the vehicle. Upon further inspection, the contact noticed fluid leaking underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 91,000.
I bought the car to a person who said the car started the transmission problem years ago. The transmission slips when accelerating and decelerating and responds late from fist to second shift. I made a research and many people have this problem and i found on web this car had a bulletin but only till 100 miles and 7 years, which is not the clients fault and is unfair they gave limits tothis type of problem. This is a safety problem and the fix should not be limited to a warranty.
Car was being driven at 20 mph when engine raced and the car coasted to a stop. The shift lever moved through all positions but car did not move in forward or reverse.car was towed and the diagnosis was that the front drum of the transmission had completely broken down.transmission was totally rebuilt at a cost of $1950. This was the replacement transmission installed by honda at 40,000 miles under warranty after the original transmission failed.
Transmission was slipping when it shifted into 2nd gear for several weeks,then it just stopped.now it will cost 3000 dollars.the car has only 69000 miles and never was abused.i was the only owner.
I bought this car brand new in 2001 from a honda dealership. A couple of years later, the transmission had failed. I called the honda dealership where i had bought the car and they acknowledged that this generation had a known transmission defect. They repaired my car for free because it was still under warranty at the time and i was told that the transmission now had an extended 7year/109,000mile warranty.on july 15th, 2012,i was driving on highway 101s at 65mph when the check engine light suddenly came on. I noticed a slight loss in power, but my car did not die out. The check engine light stayed on. The next day, i decided to test drive the car again to see if the check engine light was a one time occurrence. I started up the car, put it in reverse, and then to drive. There was a sudden delayed jerk from reverse to drive. I managed to plug in a code reader into the car's computer port and pulled up two codes: p0700 and p0740. Both of these codes are associated with the transmission. Not again?!?!my car has now exceeded the extended warranty and i am afraid that honda will not cover the repairs. I read on several forums that this has also occurred to honda owners where the dealership has refused to repair the vehicle due to the expired extended warranty coverage.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.when the vehicle is parked, it is extremely difficult to shift into another gear.the contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic and he located nhtsa campaign id number 05v025000 (electrical system:ignition:switch).the dealer stated that the vin was not included in the recall and all the repairs would be made at the contact's expense.the vehicle has not been repaired.the failure and current mileages were 68,000.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that while parked, the vehicle lunged forward abnormally accompanied with a loud pop sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the main drive belt and the power steering pump were replaced. The dealer also advised the contact that the transmission would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that her vehicle was not covered under recall. The failure and current mileages were 145,000.
From a position of park in a parking garage to the position of drive the car immediately began accelerating uncontrollably.the gas pedal seemed stuck and slight pressure on it to get it unstuck made the car go faster so i placed both feet on the brake pedal with full downward force but the car kept accelerating.i finally had to crash into another vehicle to prevent my car from hitting people walking in the parking garage.
While accelerating from a stop the accelerator pedal became stuck intermittently.the consumer was able to decelerate the vehicle.dealership repaired the iac valve. Both rear seat belt became stuck.the transmission was very noisy.both front wheel bearing were replaced because they were making noise.
I own a 2001 accord v6 with a little over 136,000 miles.check engine light came on after car had been hesitating and slipping when changing gears.also was pulling when going around corners (almost felt like braking automatically).took the car in, and initially there was a code for iacv (idle air control valve).auto shop flushed the system, reset check engine light.the next day, check engine light came on again.brought it in after a couple of weeks and it's a code p0740 for tcc (torque converter clutch) solenoid valve circuit malfunction.was told it's the transmission, which appears to be happening quite frequently - and conveniently after the 100,000 warranty extension was granted.feels unsafe driving the car, not knowing if/when the transmission is going to fail, so now i'm forced to spend $2000 getting the transmission rebuilt.
I experienced a transmission failure at 130000 miles on a 2001 honda accord, a car that is supposed to be known for reliability. I was making a left-hand turn at the time and the unexpected failure of my car to switch into a higher gear nearly resulting in a deadly collision with oncoming traffic, lucky the other vehicles has sufficient time to react, and i was able to avoid damage. However, this problem has me concerned with the reliability the honda corporation claims to have. This is an example of a blatantly obvious problem with honda vehicles that may well end in death, or serious personal expense.
When driving between 20-40 mph transmission was unable to change gears. Manufacturerdeemed the vehicle as unsafe to drive.
Driving @ approx 5 mi per hour and approaching a stop sign in front of a local dept. Store; my husband depressed the brake and the car did not stop; rather, it revved up andbegan to lunge forward at rapid speed; myhusband quickly shifted into neutral and the car stopped.had it not we would have hit 4 people.this is the 3rd time this has happened since 2001; 2 previous times:i hit a neighbor'sparked truck; when we attempted to stop as we neared a stop sign we hit the car in front of us.each time the acceleration seems out of control despite the brake being depressed. Expensive repairs necessary both previous times. I will have the car towed to honda next week; i will not drive it. Mileage: under 33,000.
Transmission problem.engine code p0780.i noticed that my engine light and tcs light would turn on occasionally.it was completely random when it would turn on and off.i took the vehicle to get an engine code scan and was told that i have a transmission problem.the vehicle is shifting hard between all gears.seems to be getting worse.i have noted on various online forums that eventually led me to this site that there are hundreds of complaints for this same problem, same year, same model.in my eyes this calls for a serious investigation into poor components used.my car has passed the extended warranty coverage with 106,000 miles.i am afraid of a serious problem if this is not addressed.
In 2003, i bought a 2001 honda accord from prime honda (then known as clair).after having the car for less than a month, i noticed that the car wasn't shifting out of gear properly. I took it back to the dealership who told me they couldn't find the problem. The gear shifting/slipping continued and every time i went in for service and told them, they claimed they could never find the problem. I even mentioned to them that i thought it was the transmission and they assured me that there wasn't.they kept telling me that they drove the car and nothing happened. Around december 10th of 2009, i once again took the car in for service and mentioned that shifting of gears. The service department looked over the car and again found nothing. On december 17th, i took the car to another dealership and it was found that there is in deed a problem with the transmission and that it couldn't be fixed.
While @ incline in drive the car quickly rolls back as if in neutral and does not stop unless you brake. I have taken the car to the honda dealer and they compared it to another on the lot.they said the one on the lot did the same thing so they determined it must be a characteristic of the vehicle.the tech said because it is a 4 cylinder it doesn't have enough torche to hold the weight. I also called american honda at an 800 number provided on their website and per roxanna this is a characteristic of the car.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the automatic transmission would not shift into first gear (usually the first two miles of the day) and after driving a few miles, the failure began to correct itself. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact called the manufacturer who stated that they could not assist with repair cost since the warranty was no longer valid. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was 49,934. The failure mileage was 49,239.
I bought a 2001 honda accord 5 months ago with 78,000 miles. It now has 83,000 miles on it..check engine light came on and it says torque converter solenoid switch. Honda is saying they don't honor up to 100,000 miles. They're saying its only 36,000 miles.
My honda accord 2001 just died on the highway while i was driving.it was first diagnosed as "engine lock up" but after changing the engine my car still did not start.after checking further my mechanic found out that it was the transmission that was locked up.my car has 100,002 miles when this happened.
2001 honda accord v6, it jerks when shifting from park to drive. When the vehicle is park the engine accelerates on its own without having to press on the gas. When driving the vehicle it jerks making it unsafe to drive. Also when trying to make a stop at a stop light or stop sign.

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 comeson 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.if seems as if its not one thing its another.very frustrated.and now another recall.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While driving 50 mph the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle began to slow down and accelerate. The vehicle was driven to a dealer who stated that the transmission failed. The vehicle was taken to an auto body shop to be repaired for $2,000 at the owners expense. The transmission failed three years prior to the most recent failure. The failure mileage was 99,092 and the current mileage was 162,000. Updated 02/23/10. *ljupdated 08/11/10
Re: 2001 honda accord.automatic transmission has failed. Car has been well cared for, has less than 55k miles.
Right front brake line has a groove cut into it and cv boot is split. First noted on 12/04/03 when car checked for brakes.transmission had been replaced by honda on 03/03 after complaints of hard down shifting. Car still downshifts hard but not all the time. Gas pedal sticks when car is cold on acceleration. Honda corporate has been notified along with dealer. They want me to pay for half of the repairs. Parts have been on order for two weeks. There was never a problem with brakes until honda replaced transmission on 03/03.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.while driving, the tcs light illuminated and the drive light began to blink.while driving between 35-40 mph, the transmission slipped and the brakes failed.the vehicle has not been inspected by a mechanic.the vin was unknown.the current and failure mileages were 163,000.
Transmission slips and won't easily shift into 2nd gear.this causes my car to stop accelerating and i'm afraid i will be rear-ended.am bringing to honda for repair, but want "goodwill repair" as this is the 3rd transmission for this vehicle. (2001 honda accord).there was a recall shortly after i purchased vehicle and the original transmission was replaced.
Automatic transmission occasionally shifts violently (so violent that i at first assumed that the ignition had been turned off - i was doing up to 65 mph when this occurred).problem is very intermittent - so the dealer has not been able to duplicate.i consider it a definite safety issue since i could easily be rear ended or lose control on snow or ice.has happened 5 or 6 times since after delivery - every time on a slight down slope.additionally the car often 'searches' - up and down shifts on downgrades but most often these are what i would call poor quality shifting- which i'm told by the dealer is a known short fall.

The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that after placing the gear shifter in park, the vehicle continued to roll forward. The brake pedal was depressed in order to stop the vehicle. The failure occurred on three different occasions. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostics. The vehicle was not repaired. There was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number: 11v395000 (power train:automatic transmission:control module (tcm, pcm)) that may be related to the failure, but the recall only included 2005 through 2010 honda accords. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The vin was not available.

The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 101,000.updated evoq 01/24/12
My 2001 honda accord transmission broke down at 150,000 miles. Check on internet, this was an ongoing complaint from honda accord owners, some of them breakdown even at less than 70,000 miles only. This is not a regular mechanical repair, this is a defect in the transmission.
During a trip, the car began to have a rumble in the drivetrain.expecially at a bout 40-45 mph.took car to dealer and they told us that the differential was faulty and they needed to replace the transmission.they would only replace with a factory rebuilt, not new.no extension on warranty.this was the second one they had in a month. Transmissions had been on back order which sounds like they had more with problems.
Consumer states dealer diagnosed a transmission problem and was informed that no transmissions were available for one month, was also informed that he was fourth in line for a transmission.
I am the first owner of honda accord 2001 purchased it the same year, and currently it has 130,500 miles on it. First transmission failure occurred around 2008 when it had 65,000 miles. Fortunately, i had an extended warranty, and the cost for replacing it was covered. The second failure happened september 2011 when it had 130,000 miles. It seems that the transmission fails about every 65,000 miles regardless of timespan. I had several cars before, none of them had problems with transmission before 70,000 miles. I called american honda and asked for a goodwill compensation, and i mentioned similar complaints in www.carcomplaints.com, and i was told that internet site does not concern them unless it was organized by american honda and my request has been totally ignored.

Original owner 2001 honda accord faithful maintenance via honda dealership- transmission failed when pulling out at intersection without warning.
Around 55,000 miles vehicle developed an abnormal muffled knocking sound on right front corner at speeds above 30mph. Got progressively louder as miles wore on. Honda dealer blamed it on a right front wheel bearing and i had it replaced. Sound was still there. Had an independent shop lift the car up and run it to determine mechanical clacking sounds came from automatic transmission. Finally convinced honda dealer it was the transmission and it was warrantied. Scary that the dealer representing the manufacturer doesn't know how to diagnose a serious defect like a transmission problem. With all other accords of different years having transmission problems honda has some serious quality issues.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While driving approximately 25 mph on normal road conditions; the transmission began to slip without warning. The failure occurred intermittently. The contact received recall notice 03v423000 (electrical system:ignition:switch).thevehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The dealer charged $100.00 for a diagnostic test which determined that there was a crack on the outside casing of the transmission. The technician refused to perform the recall remedy until the transmission was repaired. The contact had concerns of the safety risk involved.the failure and current mileages were unavailable.

Own a 2001 honda accord. Not made aware of the class action law suit extending the warranty on transmission.if i had known that the slippage was transmission related i would have taken it in at the first sign of trouble while i was still within the mileage requirements.over time (two years)the situation became worse and i called american honda after learning on line about the class action law suit.i bought the car used from the local honda dealer as a certified used car. I get all of their sale and service ads but american honda claims that they were not aware that i was the current owner and the letter went to the original owner. Took the car to get the transmission problem formally identified and the service manager asked local honda rep for assistance and this was declined. Called american honda and was issued a case number and was told i would be contacted in 2 business days. After several weeks of calling and leaving messages i finally had someone named caroline call me back. She was difficult to work with and would not listen without cutting me off and accusing me of interrupting her. Very frustrating which may be part of their plan to get me to go away. To make a long story short she said she could not help me since the local rep for the area had already declined. She can't over rule this.all this work for nothing. She indicated that she would refer the case to the escalation unit after i pushed for a supervisor.because she was difficult to work with i hung up without warning. After two weeks of no call from the escalation unit carolyn informed me that because i had hung up she had not referred my case. Apparently wanting to punish me.

Petition request dp 04 006/ ignitionpark interlock: consumer was able to remove the ignition key from the ignition switch while driving in reverse.dealer was notified.
In april 2001, i purchased new honda accord ex from its dealer, planethonda in union, nj. The car had been sore for the last three years. The car was recalled because of faulty transmission. 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 was advised by nhtsa to send the complaint to nhtsa. Please forward the copy of the complaint to the appropriate department, so that they can look into the matter. Thanks....... Ashok kumar

Being a mechanic and after checking the vss, tcs solenoids ( lock up,shift control a b c & cpc) and even checking the gear position switch, shift interlock system and shift cable adjustment and with no results went to the internet to find out why? i found about 40 pages of problems and complaints about this same issue!! hard shifting, loud noises when shifting, no shifting, throttle stickage, check engine light , and best of all codes 1705 1706 1738 1739 1753 1768 1773 & 1791 automatic transaxle failure !!!!!!! not malfunction or replace part, failure !! honda has been aware for years with little action ! i hope my wife and kids are not the death they need to fix the problem !! so far no help for the dealer, car will not move now.
The transmission on my honda 2001 has been slipping and over the last few monts is starting to clunk when i take off from a stopping position. It is getting worse and i was always told from honda that this is normal it has been like this since i have owned the car.
My name is earlene belsey and i am a 79 year old widow. I own a 2001 honda accord. In 2002, the honda motor company sent out a notice notifying all honda accord owners that there is a defect in this model's transmission and the company was going to extend the warranty for an additional "seven years or 100,000 miles, which ever comes first." they did not recall this model car to obviously save money.they stated that "if you have any problems with your transmission during this extended warranty period,just bring your car and they would replace it at no cost."problems that could occur are" abnormally loud noises...extremely slow or delayed gear engagement...abnormal gear shifting...erratic harsh shifting...hard shifts when engine is cold" which is just a few of the issues listed. I always kept this in the back of my mind and hoped that nothing would occur.since they did not take action to recall the car, i just hoped a safety issue would not arise. Even though the manufacture suggests you due transmission service at 60,000 miles, i acted conservatively knowing there could be a potential problem in the future, so i serviced the transmission at 30,000 miles, and again, hoped there would not be an issue. About a week ago, my transmission started shifting erratically.i have just 66,000 miles on this car, but the seven year part of the warranty has expired on this defective product.i asked my son if he could respond to this problem with my car.he agreed and was driving my car to the honda dealer and was almost killed on the freeway by a semi-truck when the car failed to shift.he took the car to the honda dealer and they suggested to file a claim with corporate which he did on friday, oct 30th. On monday nov 2, 2009 corporate offered a "hypothetical offer of a 25% discount on the replacement of the trans, which will cost $3,000. I want 100%, replacement and they refused. Can you please help me?my case # with honda is n012009-10-3000303. Ph 800 999-1009.

Transmission jerks from start to 1st shift upon morning starting, (cold).also leaking.
My 2001 honda 4-cyl ex repeatedly experiences transmission slipping between first and second gears, especially when decelerating and re-accelerating (e.g., in stop and go traffic or when descending on a parking garage ramp and then reaccelerating once on the parking level). Symptoms can include a neutral idle followed by sudden lurch, to no traction and a racing of the motor while the vehicle "hunts" for transmission engagement somewhere between first and second gear before engaging. Symptom is most frequent during a deceleration between second and first gears. Symptom first started at ~100k miles and has gradually worsened (car now has ~118k miles). I reported this to dealer and honda national office; they did "replicate" the symptom. It is my understanding that this transmission problem occurs with this transmission over time when the internal (non-serviceable) transmission filter starts to clog and starves 2nd gear of fluid due to rescued flow can not sufficiently lubricate 2nd gear because it is located higher up in the transmission casing compared to the other gears. Honda?s response: due to the frequent nature of this problem honda offered a transmission warranty to 100k miles. I was not informed by honda of this warranty extension until my car reached 118k miles. Honda said your only option is to buy a new honda or a new transmission. I should note that the new transmission that would be placed in the car by the dealer is the same faulty design with the same filter clogging 2nd gear fluid starving issues. Honda or a new transmission.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving, the vehicle will not go into third gear.at 30 mph, the revolutions per minute continue to rise, but the vehicle will not change gears.a private mechanic was consulted who determined the transmission needs to be replaced.
When car turned on, rpm needle zoomed up to 4 and would not go down. Towed car and fixed transmission for $2000. Just a little over a year later, delay in shifting. Electronics of transmission were fixed. One month later, rpm needle jerking and hopping, car not responding well to gas input. Thank goodness all these incidents were on local roads and lots by my home. Imagine on the freeway or busy roads with my 6 year old in the back. Time for a recall!
Car would not accelerate when in gear. I left the car at the dealer and got a call the next day that it was a bad transmission and honda would replace it for free. I had made no previous attempt to make a deal as this was the first news when i got the phone call. They must know they really have a bad design here since it was already out of warranty. Oh, the 2nd transmission is starting to have show problems also after 4 years.
My 2001 honda accord jerks hard from 2nd to 3rd gear.also very sluggish accelerating.this has started happening at 55,000 miles.i contacted bell honda and they told me i need a transmission flush,now already doing so i still have the same problem. This is unacceptable of a 3 year old brand new car.bell honda dealershop which i bought my car is telling me i need to pay $100 for a test to see if it falls under the 7/yr100/k mile warranty.
The customer contended the brakes were sometimes inoperative/noisy/rubbing and did not stop the car.the customer also had multiple complaints of service at the dealership.the transmission did not shift properly.dealership was unable to duplicate abnormal shifting operations.the engine ran rough and the engine check light illuminated, engine had normal noise.other complaints included the tcs light on, door ajar light, brake light and seat belt light all illuminated while driving. License plate bracket came off.twisted seat belts, rear door, bumper and dash panel replacement.
My transmission on my 2001 honda accord ex (4 cylinder ) failed in june 2008 and i had it rebuilt and now once again the transmission has failed and it is a safety issue due to it strained my family and i on the highway twice...and it burns the transmission fluid and could a fire due to the burning..
My 2001 honda 6-cyl ex experiences transmission slipping between first and second gears, especially when driving approximately between 25-35 mph. Symptom is most frequent during a deceleration between second and first gears. Symptom first started at 80k miles and has gradually worsened (car now has ~120k miles). I was doing all regular honda major services at honda dealer, and they did not even find problem and engine safety measures. Honda mentioned that if go with all recommended services my engine life and faty will be increased. I spend lot of money on recommended regular services from honda.reported this to dealer and honda national office; they did "replicate" the symptom. Honda?s response: due to the frequent nature of this problem honda offered a transmission warranty to 100k miles. I was not informed by honda of this warranty extension until i asked to check again 120 miles service. Honda said your only option is to buy a new honda or a new transmission. I always thought if i give servicing at dealer they will check engine and defects properly but seems like there is no guarantee in that.
The first symptom was rough idling where the car has actually died several times. It has been into the dealer repeatedly since feb of 2002. They kept it for over a month one time to replace the transmission, but the same problem occurred, even when leaving the dealership. They had it in again in june & the problem is growing more intermittent, but i still think it is a flaw and possibly dangerous.nlm
Transmission failure. Had intermittent problems that could not be diagnosed when under 100000 miles. Transmission finally failed at 108,500 miles. Dealership & american honda have only offered 50% discount on a known problem with their cars. I feel they should be responsible for entire cost. They were using a cop out to not honor their product. I am only a little over their extended coverage offer. Also, they stated that even though i have a great service history i did not have it done through them, instead i did have my maintenance done with goodyear shop which was an established car center. I bought the honda believing i would not have to encounter these issues. I can understand little problems, but not one to this extent. I just thank god that my two month old child was not in the car w/ me when it finally broke down. I had to spend $200 on towing fees. All attempts to speak with american honda was disappointing. I also followed up with research on service history, and have come to the conclusion that honda was just not the name it use to be.
Transmission, since day one, has always made a loud metal-to-metal clunking/popping noise at low speeds.dealer advised there was no problem, was normal.then at around 28k miles, it started shuddering and slipping on downshifts between 35-45mph.i then took it to right honda in scottsdale, and they then flushed the linear solenoid, and when i got it back, it was still was doing it.they then replaced the entire transmission, and it came back with a thumping noise when in park or n.they then replaced it a second time.it is shifting better, but the car has not as much pickup and is still making the metal to metal noise, after over $6,000 in warranty repairs!it also lurches through gears sometimes, and is not as smooth as it was when i bought it.the service manager told me that this is a common problem, and that they have had to replace quite a few transmissions.i first spoke with angie williams at honda corporate, and she would not help nor let me speak to her supervisor, rick thomas.i finally got through to rick thomas, and they said they would not buy the car back, nor was i going to get any help from him.i then asked to speak to his supervisor, and he would not let me speak with ron garner.the receptionist then lied to me and said that rick garner doesnt have voicemail, i caught her in the lie.under magnuson-moss warranty act, they have had sufficient times to try and repair this vehicle!i have found that i am not alone in dealing with this problem, as almost everyone with a v6 automatic accord seems to notice this problem with the transmission!the dealership i bought the vehicle from suggested i file a report with the bbb, since there was nothing he could do.that is ridiculous! i did not pay to lease a $28,000 car, and be given a cheap rental to drive around in for a month.how am i going to ever sell this car with a repair record like this?i really hope that you may be able to help. Nlm
My 2001 honda 4-cyl ex repeatedly experiences transmission slipping between first and second gears, especially when decelerating and re-accelerating (e.g., in stop and go traffic or when descending on a parking garage ramp and then reaccelerating once on the parking level.symptoms can include a neutral idle followed by sudden lurch, to no traction and a racing of the motor while the vehicle "hunts" for transmission engagement somewhere between first and second gear before engaging.symptom is most frequent during a deceleration between second and first gears.symptom first started at ~80k miles and has gradually worsened (car now has ~116k miles).honda's only response: you should buy a new honda.i reported to dealer and honda national office, but they could not "replicate" the symptom.
Transmission failure. The differential assembly was rebuilt i paid $1,377.00 for it at cottman transmission of erie, pa. After that the transmission never shifted the same and later on a horrible noise start to sound when put in reverse. Cottman transmission said that's normal on this car. They kept my car for 13 days inthe month of june 2007. Finally, they decided to put the reverse selector gear on this trasmition thus ending up with same noise when as previous when you put the car in reverse. I took it to the dealer they said the transmission is bad, they replaced the transmission now it is running well but when you put it in reverse it still makes the same bad noise, like a clunk kind of noise. I am not talking about a little click sound, it is a bad sound, really loud. The dealer say that's normal on this car and i told the manager you are crazy. They don't want to do anything else they already made there money, now work begins. But they don't want to do anything else. So i got a car with a rebuilt transmissions with no warranty because according to them if the extended warranty pays for it, there is not warranty. Beautiful, well done honda. Last car i buy from honda.
While accelerating down an on-ramp to merge with interstate traffic, my 2001 honda accord transmission slipped and shuddered to the point that the vehicle began to lose forward momentum. Two vehicles approachingfrom the rear on the ramp had to dodge my vehicle to keep from colliding with it; also, a semi-truck on the interstate had to make a sudden lane change to keep from hitting one of the vehicles attempting to avoid mine. Vehicle has been properly maintained over its lifetime and had not shown any transmission issues before this incident. This is a serious safety defect that apparently exists in many honda vehicles with automatic transmissions. Further research on the internet from reliable sources indicates that this is a relatively common occurrence. Please investigate this before someone gets seriously injured or killed.
Premature torque converter failure...it fell apart and tore up the transmission.it's a safety issue because that happening on a ca freeway can be potentially deadly.it's a known defect in the cars.my daughter was on the freeway when it started to slip and bang, fortunately the were able to get off the freeway before it got worse.
2001 honda accordjust had my transmission replaced at 88,000 miles at my cost from a honda dealer. Have had our car back 12 days on a rebuild transmission (less than 300 miles) and engine light on with code 1705 (transmission failure). Filed a previous report (#10276399) on july 9 2009. Same issues hard shifts, slamming in reverse, won't shift from 2nd gear at freeway speeds (3800 rpm's at 55 mph) for my wife to get home from work! talk about a safety issue!!!what has to happen before someone will take action!! i'm sure it's deaths (like the faa) gov.'t agents due nothing till after the deaths ( its all about the money ) these transmission failures have been going on for years, where's our help ???
2001 honda accord v6 worst of 4 honda's i have owned. Replaced all electrical under drivers seat, replaced brake sensor 3 times - allowsgearshift to release. Rear main seal leak, transmission replaced, door lock motors replaced, led readout on odometer won't show one number, replaced the master cylinder. Car has not been in accident and had to have casters on front frame adjusted so it wouldn't chew up the tires. Most of this happened under warranty except for the rear main seal.this should have been a jag.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While the contact wasdriving approximately between 20-35 mph, the transmission exhibitedhesitation in a jerking motion. The failures occurred intermittent and progressed to a permanent condition. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the technician informed the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
I have a 2001 honda accord ex (4 cylinder) and my transmission failed on it in june 2008 and i had it rebuilt which cost me over $1600 not including the towing bill..and now once again my 2001 honda accord transmission has failed again and need to have the transmission replaced again.
Vehicle's automatic transmission will either jerk into or out of second gear. Causeunknown.
I'm the original owner.the automatic transmission at 95,000 miles began making a whining noise when going up grade.it is now at 99,000 miles and the noise is heard at all speeds.the local honda dealership has inspected the car and said the transmission needs to be replaced as it may fail at any time.i immediately contacted american honda customer service and they said the accord is no longer covered by the extended warranty so they will not cover any portion of the replacement.i strongly believe the transmission was build with defective materials or workmanship at time of manufacturing.i did not have the transmission replaced because i have no confidence in a rebuilt transmission.i will most likely salvage the car.
The automatic transmissionfailed while the consumer was driving.the dealer suggested that they would have to replace the transmission.tsalso, the wheel bearing(s) failed.scc
Transmission failure.*la
The consumer had problems changing the gear from park to another gear. Taken to shop for checkup.
Consumer states dealer diagnosed a transmission problem and was informed that no transmissions were available for one month, was also informed that he was fourth in line for a transmission.
The transmission to my 2001 honda accord started to kick back everytime it shifted until it got to the point where the transmission completely failed on me and i had to pay 2700 dollars for a new transmission...this was a big safety issue for me and the car was not as dependable as they said it was.
Dt*: the contact stated at 72,000 miles, the transmission began slipping.the dealership replaced the transmission.then at 106,000 miles, while at a toll booth, the vehicle would not go into gear.the vehicle was towed to the dealership who determined the transmission needed to be replaced.
Transmission failure on a 2001 honda accord 12 days and less than 400 miles after having honda replace (rebuild) the transmission. Code 1705 (transmission failure) on the 7th day it came out of the shop. Car slams in r from p then gets stuck in 2nd (won't shift) no matter haw fast or even if you move the shifter. 3800 rpm's in 2nd gear on the freeway at 55 mph. Took back to honda on day 12 and was told" if its covered, they'll fix it". If its covered its 12 days and 400 mi. From your shop and you treat me like your not responsible. The code shows 1705 (trans. Failure) the same reason you replaced the trans in the first placed. After gettinga service rep. To look at it they are ordering a sensor to replace, and now are telling me that it is the alarm that is causing the problems. The alarm has been on the car for a long time now, and honda knows aftermarket products are used by a large percentage of their owners, so if it's the alarm, there should be a fix by honda for that problem. Why my car won't shift out of 2nd, doesn't seem like my alarm would tell my trans. Not to due that. I placed 2 exactly the same alarms on my wife's and my daughters cars (honda and a toyota) one's doing fine !!!
3 codes set on transmission. Transmission slips when shifting from first to second gear. Car revs loudly but does not accelerate much. Torque converter has some problem too.
The air bag sensor light malfunctioned. The consumer was concerned the air bag will not deploy upon impact.the component to repair the air bag was order december 2003 but it still has not arrived at the dealer. The vehicle transmission.
My husband and i were driving at freeway speed on i-5 heading north from san diego, when our 2001 honda accord transmission slipped and shuddered to the point that the vehicle began to lose forward momentum, left us with no choice but to slide to the side of the highway from middle lane in a traffic that was moving at 80 miles per hour. Vehicles approachingfrom the rear had to make emergency break to keep from colliding with it, including semi-trucks behind. It could have been a fatal accident. We believe it is a serious safety defect that apparently exists in many 2001 honda vehicles with automatic transmissions. My vehicle has been properly maintained over time, but information was found from relaible sources indicates that this is a common occurance for honda models around 2001. Up to this date, we still remiember the fear vividly and feel so grateful that nobody died or seriously injurt by the failure. Please investigate this before someone gets seriously injured or killed.
Gears started slipping on 2001 accord ex around 80,000. I had fluid changed often and last changed at 105,000 and gears are still slipping. Car jerks really bad and 2nd gear changes harshly. I can't afford another car now but when i am able to get another car, it won't be a honda. This 7th generation of accords 1998-2002 are the worst. I'm not sure what honda has done. I also hear that the 2003-2005 are experiencing the same transmission problems. Transmission has not failed as of yet but am sure it will and if me or my family is hurt, i hope honda is ready for a serious law suit. Trust me when i say this!!
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle shifted from one gear to another suddenly at a quick rate. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the transmission was flushed. The failure continued and the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer had not been notified. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.
Consumer complained about aseat bottom frame. The framewas replaced 2 times in the past 10,000 miles. Whenvehicle accelerated the seats moved back. However,dealer indicated play in the seat was normal activity.driver seat rocked back and forth when consumer tries to accelerate or stop.in addition, transmission clunks when shifting from drive to park.dealer said it shifts normal.*la
During a trip, the car began to have a rumble in the drivetrain.expecially at a bout 40-45 mph.took car to dealer and they told us that the differential was faulty and they needed to replace the transmission.they would only replace with a factory rebuilt, not new.no extension on warranty.this was the second one they had in a month. Transmissions had been on back order which sounds like they had more with problems.
The car jumps/jerks when its put on d4 during cold start. Today when i was drivign on freeway the car was jerking when it was shifting gears.
I bought my honda accord v6 in dec. 2000 (2001 model). I driven for few thousand miles and had to bring in my car to the dealer to redo the windshield.about 23000-24000 miles brought back to the dealer for transmission leak.probably 1 month later had to bring in for transmission leak against. And april 20, 2006 (115000 miles), the transmission finally broke.i had to replace with the remanufactured onethat cost me $ 2300.i feel that i bought this car as a lemon.
Our automatic transmission began acting up by "lurching" when we came to a rolling stop.we had the car checked by our two regular mechanics and they suggested we take it back to ellena honda here in lawrence where it was purchased since it was still under warranty.honda checked it and said they would replace the transmission.this is to be done next monday.i am very disappointed since i thought honda was a brand that could be trusted.*la
Transmission was just replaced with a re-built.in shop 9/4 through 9/7/02.i complained multiple times, starting 2nd day of ownership about "sluggish response".pacific honda said it's a new car, give it time to limber-up.what a joke.independent honda mechanic identified auto-trans problem.i requested new car - honda refused. I paid for a new car, and continue to make auto-payments for a new car, but have never enjoyed the performance or reliability of a new car.i requested that pacific honda save my old part (transmission) - they refused. I understood a new transmission would be installed - they told me when i picked it up that a re-built transm. Had been installed.now, after a couple of days w/rebuilt, i sense engine jerkiness when driving vehicle.please help!
1. Bought the 01 honda accord lx 4 cyl from duval honda in jacksonville fl, with the transmission barely slipping.2. The transmission slips for about 5 to 8 seconds between gears and knocks in and out of gear. 3. Nothing done to fix it. Tried changing the transmission fluid but that doesn't help. I heard that honda of america will pay for the transmission but not the labor. Is this true?
Transmission would not upshift, engine light came on and d3 light start blinking.car would not shift properly, would jolt instead of smooth shift and then would only accelerate very very slowly. Also would backup while stopped and gear in drive. *nlm
I was traveling when the check engine light came on, and 3 hours from home my car made an awful racket and sounded as if i was dragging a body under my car while expelling the most putrid smell i have ever encountered. This break down, on october 22, 2010,left me stranded all weekend, as most body shops do not do repairs on friday evening, saturday, or sunday. I also had to miss class and work the following monday because of lack of transportation. After much poking and prodding to my poor little honda, the mechanics determined by torque clutch converter had failed, leaving terrible damage to my gears and other parts of my transmission. Diagnosis: new torque clutch converter, and because of that, a newly rebuilt transmission had to follow. Now, keep in mind that i said i had to miss work and class. This means i am a poor college student, in which case a $2050.00 auto repair bill is a death sentence and a collection notice all neatly wrapped as a package deal. Let me ask you this, at this point in time, if your transmission needed repair and replacing, are you in a stable financial condition at which point you could shell out over two grand for your auto repair bill? if you can, congratulations, and feel free to donate to my charity at any time, if not... Welcome to the club. Honda has admitted that the torque clutch converters in my honda and those similar to mine are defective but no recall is necessary because there is no direct safely hazard. With that said, if honda knows they built my car with a defective piece of machinery, i would like them to pay for my new piece of machinery with no question, debate, sarcasm, excuse, anger, or any other type of negative reaction possible.
2001 honda accord ex, ~100k miles, transmission slips and makes noise when accelerate. Believe it's defect but honda refused to pay for the repair. Honda dealer talked to me into paying $500+ for maintenance(but didn't reveal that 2001 honda accord has a common transmission defect)...the problem came back in 14 months...now i dare not to drive the car with a transmission problem..my family will never buy honda again!!
Honda accord 2001 ex coupe (automatic transmission)i have a huge transmission problem in which the gears slip before catching.the result is an unexpected bang feeling and an abnormally fast acceleration time which for sure will cause an accident one day.(for something to compare by, its like putting gas until your rpms reach over 5000 in a standard car and then suddenly popping the clutch)the transmission also does not shift properly into gear, often times shifting extremely early causing me to have a feeling "like i plowed into someone and then suddenly was hit behind". I have taken the car to windward honda and the people there including the shop foreman continues to say that the huge bang and abnormal shifting is normal. Within one day after i took the car in i almost ran into a parking structure pillar when the transmission did not catch until the engines rpms hit past 3000.there has been one injury involving a slight case of whiplash after the engine somehow revved up past 5000 and then caught.(the gas was pressed down and even after the gas was released the engine continued to rev up and when it hit around 5500 rpm the transmission caught making it feel like i got banged by another car going 15+ mph) nothing has been done to fix the problem because honda claims that if they cant duplicate it on their test drive around the area, they will not replace or fix the problem (honda is very poor at duplicating the conditions in which the failure happens)the failure happens in the following conditions:1.when you are in heavy traffic requiring you to stop and go constantly2.entering short on ramps requiring the car to downshift3.anytime i slow down but don't come to a complete stop and then accelerate.*honda was testing the car in highway conditions with no traffic incidents started from june of 2003 and is still ongoing today january 31, 2006 (the exact number of times this has occured is unknown, occurs mutiple times in daily traffic)
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The transmission was making noise and leaking oil. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and after it was inspected she was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and informed her to take the vehicle to the dealer and they would repair it and assume 70% of the repair cost and she would only have to pay 30%the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000.
I'm having transmission problem with my 2001 honda accord lx. The transmission does not shift smoothly after starting the car when the engine is cold. The car has 91k miles on it.i had exactly the same problem before around 2004. At the car was under warranty. Honda replaced the transmission. Honda also extended the warranty on the transmission to 7 yrs due to known defect this model and due to complains from many consumers.upon searching the internet, it is clear that this problem is widespread with 2001 accord and honda refuses to recall or pay for the cost of replacement.

My car is a 2001 honda accord ex vin# [xxx] this car has had two major problems.my transmission failed to work and the gear would not shift when i try to take off.the first time my transmission failed i was on the freeway and my transmission would not change gears which made my car go extremely slow and i was almost rear ended (the car in back of me screeched to stop and just missed my car by pulling to the side of the road).i took it to san leandro honda and they failed to fix it.they charged me $115.00 to tell me they researched the car and found nothing wrong.they tightened all of my wires and it should be just fine. After i received the car back it did it slightly once again about two months later and than stopped.i called san leandro honda and they told me not to bring it in until it is doing it bad.recently my car did it again.i was driving along and the car would not change gears and got stuck in (drive 4) and the light was blinking w/ also the check engine light on.again i was almost rear ended with my baby in the back seat both times.i now took it back to san leandro honda and they are now going to replace the lock up solenoid and see if that is the problems. I do not have to pay because i bought the warranty but i noticed and was told from the dealership that 2000 and 2001 accords have had major problems on their transmissions.i would like you to please investigate honda that they research why my transmission and i noticed many other transmissions are bad and put a recall on them so now car accidents are caused. Honda should have caught the default the first time i took it in instead of putting me at risk again.if the car does not shift there is something wrong.updated 07/18/2012 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
The transmission failure of honda accord lx 4-cylinder fwd - occurred. The d4 indicator started blinking. I am unable to drive beyond 10 miles or go to 2nd or more gears. Automatic transmission fluid (atf) leaks occurred. An abnormal loud noise from the transmission. The vehicle has 83,000 miles on it. Single owner and all service maintenance completed at the honda dealer. I contacted honda dealer, they said, need to change shift solenoid b or linear shift solenoid set. If that don't fix the problem, need to change the entire transmission.
I bought a pre owned certified 2001 honda accord with 60k miles on it for a little over market value because i believe in honda products. At approx. 70k miles the transmission failed and was replaced by the dealer with a remanufactured trans. I was told only a limited 12/12 warranty was being issued for this and that if trans failed outside of the warranty extension i would be out of luck. Currently the vehicle has 82k miles and is showing signs of tranny problems again. The vehicle on occasions will downshift with a thump when decelerating into 2nd and 1st gear and there is a whirling sound which is only audiable when the vehicle is in gear. I have taken my vehicle back to the dealer that installed the reman unit, however they continue to dispute my claims saying that the noise is being made by a faulty wheel bearing. As you can see this makes it difficult to document my complaints regarding this issue if the dealer will not address it. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on how this issue can be resolved.thanks ed

2001 honda accord v6 transmission, replaced twice - with only 59,000 miles on the car. I want honda to compensate me with a new vehicle. This is just absurd - they keep re-installing defective transmissions. Total cost is roughly around $12,000 - that's what i owe left on my loan.
Faulty transmission (torque converter) in honda and acura vehicle. American honda and acura are aware of the faulty transmission but did nothing to notify it's loyal customers of the issue. Could this be a safety issue it the transmission fails while the vehicle is in motion.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the transmission was exhibiting an unusually loud noise as well as sticking nad shifting hard between gears. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that there was an internal failure within the transmission. The transmission would have to be rebuilt. The manufacturer was contacted who informed the dealer not to repair the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 170,000.
Honda is sending letters to owners of two models of accord, prelude, and several other models due to a defect in the carrier bearing. They are replacing transmissions. They are willing to assume cost for those already done or to be done. However they are not issuing a recall.dt
Dt: the contact stated the vehicle will lock while driving t 50 mph or more. The dealership said that the transmission locked and needed to replaced or rebuilt. There have been no repairs made to the vehicledue toexcessive cost.
2001 honda accord transmission failure.need i say more?mine has been terminally diagnosed at 119,000 miles.after reading about the problem, i have to feel like one of the lucky ones. Many owners are on their second or third transmission by now. To quote a recent article from the nyt blog wheels: "honda told the safety administration that the problem was that 'certain operating conditions can result in heat build-up between the countershaft and secondary shaft second gears.' that could lead to 'gear tooth chipping or, in vary rare cases, gear breakage.' it is possible, the automaker said, that the transmission could lock up, increasing the chance of a crash."
I have honda accord 2001. It is only 3 years old and 70,000 high way miles, but i got the transmission problem recently.1. Transmission oil leak2. Grinding noise3. Not smoothly, i can feel the slippingi already spent sevral hundred bucks, but the problem still there. I was suggested to replace a new transmisson.i cann't accept it, since it is only 3 years old, and 70,000 high way miles.i think honda company should be responsible for it.
My 2001 accord is experiencing transmission problems at 79k000. It exhibits erratic and slippage when accelerating and the obdii indicates a a/t problem. I took the vehicle into my local dealer who said they would replace the transmission since its still under the 7yr/100k warranty. However, when i inspected the transmission closer, in my opinion it looks like the transmission was never replaced. The dealer upgraded a component and left my old transmission in!! i am very outraged and disappointed if this turns out be the case. I am currently pursuing getting a more professional opinion and will take legal actions depending on forth coming information.
My 2001 honda accord (with 80k miles) automatic transmission shifts with a jerk and the transmission lost power and the vehicle would not accelerate past 30-40 miles on the freeway. This is due to the defective transmission that honda has in these vehicles. I believe this is a safety problem and a sudden loss of power while driving could put the occupants in a hazardous situation.honda states that the warranty has expired and refused to replace the transmission and instead wants the customer to pay for their defective design/implementation.*tw
I purchased my 2001 honda accord ex from a private party in feb of 2011. At the end of april, i started noticing gear shifting problems and a week later it just got worse-the d4 light would flash continuously and the car would rev up but would not move causing me to almost encounter a few accidents. When i did my research and contacted a mechanic, they told me the repairs would be between $2,000 and $3,000 which i do not have!!! i have been forced to put the only form of transportation i have to the side until i can attempt to get the money to repair it.
This model honda makes a loud noise, coming from the underneath the car, when first started cold.the sound is more like a "thump" and is supspected (although i'm not certain) to be either the transmission or the exhaust system.i tried several different cars and the noise was consistent. The dealer tells me the noise is "normal"which is absurd.honda has a recall pending on earlier model cars for an exhaust syustem problem--i'm wondering if this could be related.i am not an expert so do not know if this is a serious matter or not.
The last 6 months, the car has been riding rough.the check engine light, tcs light and the d4 light kept coming on.i had the idle valve replaced and it was riding fine from there.i mentioned some of the symptoms to a friend and found that he and another person he knows who has the same make and model had the same problem.he explained that honda had extended the warranty on the transmissions for 2001 v6 models and that i should contact the customer service line in ca.apparently there had been many complaints/problems with the transmission in the 2001 honda.i called the 800# and the representative explained to me that my car could not be covered since the speedometer/odometer had been changed - i didn't know the exact mileage on the car. I explained to her that the honda dealership changed the speedometer/odometer without updating the mileage and i should not be penalized for not knowing the mileage. 1. Failure is in the transmission2. I think my car is past the extended warranty period3. I was never notified about the possible problem with the transmission.4. Nothing has been done to date.
Vehicle was leaking transmission fluid initially. Took it to dealership. First time dealership sent us home with a really bad transmission leak for weekend. Informed us not to drive more than 200 miles. We informed them we live 60 miles away and would needto get home and back to dealership on monday. No rental car was offered. When taken back to dealer for repairs they replaced differential. Two weeks later we noticed leaking again and the car wa shifting funny. We took the car in for repairs. They replaced the transmission. We approached both the manufacturer and the dealership about an extended warranty on thetransmission, both refused. About a year later i received a letter in the mail regarding a warranty extension for the transmission for all 2001 honda accords. Apparently i was not the only consumer who was sold a lemon.dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis------------------770780. *nlm
My 2001 honda accord's automatic transmission has severe hesitation in switching gears, especially when climbing up a hill.i read that this is a common problem for honda accord made around 2001.i tried to get honda to perform repair but was told that the car past the extended warranty (as a settlement of a class action suit).since this is a common problems for many accord, there should be a recall on these cars.
Faulty transmission. Please provide further information.*nlm
2001 honda accord, 95,000 miles. Transmission started slipping so much so it could have caused an accident. They checked and at first didn't find anything. Left the car for timing belt replacement and the next day they found the tranny problem. Since it's under the 100,000 mark, i'm covered. Thank goodness. The tranny i'm getting may be a rebuilt tranny and it seems the warranty on it may only be for 12,000 miles. I think that since honda is having a problem with trannys that the coverage should be for at least 36,000 - 50,000 miles. I purchased a honda thinking i would never have such issues. My next car will be a honda now.
Transmission failure.
2001 honda accord has transmission problems. *njthe consumer stated for the past three weeks she had problems shifting gears.
2001 honda accord has had transmission rebuilt two times and it has gone out again.
On 4/4/03 a loud thud came from the transmission and the check engine light came on and the d4 on the shift indicator started to blink. I shut off the car and restarted. The shift indicator stopped blinking but the car would shift very hard. I took it to honda and they warranted the transmission because the car only had 65000miles they also gave me a rental. I would like to know if the root cause of this problem has been fixed or will i have this problem again at 120000 miles?
I have a 2001 honda accord v6 sedan. I had purchased it around july of 2001 and the transmission had failed on the car about 4 times. I asked the manager at the honda service center why is it constantly failing and he stated, "honda just makes crappy trannys." this just discouraged me even more and its at a point where i just don't want a honda vehicle anymore. I called honda of america the last time when the transmission failed because i was driving with a family member and the transmission skipped started jerking the car and almost caused an accident because of not being able to control to vehicle. I understand people are busy but i spoke to over a hundred of fellow accord owners who all have the same problem and are not receiving the help they expected. Why is honda continuing to put re-built engines if they are going to fail anyway? why are they constantly failing? why are they rebuilding it to factory specs if its factory specs that are causing it to fail? it just doesn't seem logical and yet i am always being put out of a brand new vehicle. You can understand my frustration since its scary to know you can purchase a brand new vehicle and encounter so many problems. Please advise and how can i get help. I believe my car is a lemon and should be recalled and i informed honda about this and no one ever responded to me, about 2 months ago.
The consumer states, when accelerating from stop, the gears slip between 2nd-3rd causing the vehicle to jerk.*scc
My 2001 honda accord ex 4cyl (199k miles) began driving very badly - suddenly decelerating while driving (at any speed).the honda dealer diagnosed that the transmission needed replacing at a cost of $3500.
Pcm was giving off false error codes, dealer was the first to bring upproblemafter recalled transmission was installed. Dealer did not acknowledge that it was a dealer's problem. Pcm will create the check engine light to go off, and will appear at various times of operation. Has caused me to constantly go to dealer and various mechanic shops to get error codes erased. Car with check engine light will not pass smog test. Also will consume more fuel than it should. Cost to replace pcm is approximately$800.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.while driving approximately 45 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel.the vehicle jerked and vibrated excessively.the driver pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the engine.the vehicle was restarted and resumed normal operation.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing and they stated that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced.the vehicle has not been repaired.the failure and current mileages were 75,650.
Transmission shifts rough. Check engine light came on. Independent repair shop said transmission needs replaced ($60.) called honda america to see what they could do to help. They gave a case number and said it needs to be checked by a honda dealer ($105.) same thing: transmission needs replaced. Will cost $3638. On 3-26-09 called ha back. They said i'd hear from them in 24-48 hours. Had to make copies of all service records andtake to dealer. On 4-6-09 they finally called to say they would help a little.my question is, why has there not been a recall? a transmission failure could be dangerous, especially in high speed traffic. I would like the nhtsa to take a good look at all the honda transmission problems and force a recall.
Customer lost control of vehicle, resulting in a crashwhile attempting to disengage cruise control with foot brake w on wet surface.rear tires completely locked when customer tapped the foot brake to disengage speed control,causing vehicle to skid.customer attempted to "stomp-and-steer" vehicle, (as is implied with abs), brakes became unresponsive and pedal travelled to the floor. Customer then applied full throttle to try to pull the vehicle out of the skid, which was unsuccessful due to the traction control overpowering customer's attempt to steer and accelerate out of the skid (the tcs automatically applies front brakes to limit wheel spin at speeds below 20 mph.even though vehicle was travelling at 70, computer must have registered under 20 at that point).vehicle violently spinned out of control off the highway down a 40 foot embankment.
I purchased a new honda accord ex in 2001 at a honda dealer in texas , now the check engine light and tcs lightcame on and stayed on. I checked the owner's manual and found out it could be that the gas cap might not have beentightened. So i have to wait until3 driving trips to see if itwentoff. Thats waswhat manual suggestedfirst. Then itwentoff to honda dealer to see if computer needed a new catalytic converter ,which i heard could likely be inaccurate diagnosis, and more likely oxygen sensor. Also another problem occurred, thesrs light stayed on and didnot go out.srs light coming on, i have also had my check engine light and tcs indicator come on. It is a bit concerning that i have had so many issues with this particular accord with so few miles on it. Seems like a huge safety issue that an air bag does not deploy with the srs light on. What is wrong with this car? did i buy a lemon?i will definitely not buy another honda. Extremely disappointed in honda's lack of concern for safety, which they tout so much about, and disrespect for consumer's concerns.
Vehicle was leaking oil fromtransmission.dealer has repairedvehicle twice, and the problem has reoccurred.
I recently purchased a 2001 honda accord, auto transmission (vin: [xxx])with 81000 miles on the odometer. Noticed that when my wife drove the car, the vehicle was parked with transmission left in drive and fortunately she had engaged the emergency brake.she usually drives a car with a five speed manual transmission.the switch was turned off and keys removed which is not supposed to be possible.i had read articles concerning recalls for several year model accords being recalled due to the same safety issue as i had observed on this car.i searched the honda owners link using the vin and my car was not listed as having this defect.i validated the defect by turning the ignition off and removing the key while the vehicle was in reverse and all the drive gears.i called the nhtsa and got the customer service number for honda.called honda customer service and explained the problem.their response was that i did not know the car had a problem and that it was not on any recall list.i responded that i believed the car had a safety defect and would file a complaint with the nhtsa for investigation.the response was i should take the car to a honda dealer.

During a trip, the car began to have a rumble in the drivetrain.expecially at a bout 40-45 mph.took car to dealer and they told us that the differential was faulty and they needed to replace the transmission.they would only replace with a factory rebuilt, not new.no extension on warranty.this was the second one they had in a month. Transmissions had been on back order which sounds like they had more with problems.

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. So if i do get into an accident due to these defects being faulty to begin with don't say i didn't try and get help.
My son had an accident while driving my 2001 honda accord.the driver airbag did not deploy, but the passenger airbag did deploy, even though there was not a passenger in the vehicle.also, the seat belts locked up.the accident was on 12-2-06 and i have tried two different dealerships to find out why the driver airbag did not deploy.they will not give me an explaination and they will not fix the seatbelts until i replace the airbags, which i cannot afford.
The customer contended the brakes were sometimes inoperative/noisy/rubbing and did not stop the car.the customer also had multiple complaints of service at the dealership.the transmission did not shift properly.dealership was unable to duplicate abnormal shifting operations.the engine ran rough and the engine check light illuminated, engine had normal noise.other complaints included the tcs light on, door ajar light, brake light and seat belt light all illuminated while driving. License plate bracket came off.twisted seat belts, rear door, bumper and dash panel replacement.
Shortly after driver-side airbag inflater recall service, srs light came on and dealer realized driver seat belt buckle is faulty and needs to be replaced.while seat belt system should be covered by lifetime warranty, honda excluded electric switch with the buckle. Dealer told me the only time you replace the buckle is due to the electric switch inside. To me and many others complaining about the same issue, this is a honda manufacturing defects or serial safety design issue because -honda claims to cover seat belt buckle under lifetime warranty, but not the electric switch inside. And only time when the buckle needs to be replaced is when the switch goes bad.
Srs light coming on
Srs light is on, it went off and again is on, my auto manual indicates airbags/tensioner systems needs attention. This is a very seious problem that i cant manage without honda offcicial authorized check. My manual indicates a lifetime warranty for this kind of issues. This problem came when i started the car and the light still on.
My sis light is on and my dash is dark(illumination doesn't work.stationary and motion no difference
My srs light is on at all times in my 2001 honda accord.i took it to a honda dealership in june, 2005.i was told that when the srs light is on, my air bag system is inoperable and air bags will not deploy on impact.dealership inspection found a code for seat belt buckle switch/sensor causing the srs light.the buckle set has been special ordered and has not arrived after one month.in the meantime, i drive around with my srs light on and no airbags.why are there so many complaints about this same issue on the nhtsa website?does this issue need to be addressed as a possible recall?so many of the complaints regarding this same issue are with no resolution.so far i have no resolution.i did not buy a car with no air bags.i want to feel confident my air bags will do their job should i be in an accident.they have saved my life in the past.if you have this same issue, i encourage you to file a complaint.

I purchased my honda and it was a wreck and repair but all that was damaged was pass door and fender no airbags deployed but front seat belts have never worked they are locked .when the takada airbag recall came i took my 2001 honda accord to hinda of morristown tn and told them are bout the seat belt issue as well and they said the airbags had to have been deployed are bound becauwe of that they would not warranty the seat belts it would cost me 1200.00 and nor only that but when i asked if they repaired the takada air bag issue they didn't say yes or no i called back asked for a invoice as to what they did to my car and was denied .so i may still be in danger of that recall and the sad part is i have a small child that i have in my vehicle
Trying to avoid car infront, my speed limit is 35 mph, car went down to the embankment, airbag deployed.
Dt*:the contact stated the airbag light illuminated intermittently while the vehicle was running.no other indicators were present at the time of illumination.the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem, but the dealer replaced the entire driver seat belt in a unsuccessful attempt to remedy the problem.updated 5/23/2006 -

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. This should have been a recall issue, or the information should have been better communicated to the consumer.
The axel that holds my tires on do not hold the bolts that are put on. I have had to replace every single bolt on all four tires once a month, if not more. The bolts come lose after replacing them and tightening them. The bolts keep cross threading after fixing them and putting them on correctly. My driver seat belt comes undone while driving down the road. The interior lights where the clock is and below come on and off randomly. This happens on a day to day basis, ever since i purchased my car. I will be driving down the road and hear a noise coming from my tires, pull over and a bolt or two has come off. This is unsafe for not only me but my family.
The srs light came on and stays on as long as the engine is on.no correction done, can't afford to pay for the parts and labor. Car is 2001 honda accord.
On my vehicles, the interlock operation of the ignition switch not function properly, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to park.my sedansrear seat belt buckles were improperly manufactured makin it impossible for me to attach a carseatand lock it safe
My car was seen for recall but my car still isn't fixed to where it's safe to drive
"takata recall" shortly after the recall the srs light came on dash and has stayed on. Possibly related to air bag, seat sensor or seat buckles.

Transmission failure to shift into 2nd gear some times. Car taken to dealer on extended warranty and refused maintenance due to age of car..many honda's having this problem and need a recall to resolve this issue as it shouldn't happen. Second problem is driver seat belt. Air bags replaced on recall and shortly after the srs light came on. Dealer says problem not in air bags but driver seat belt module in seat buckle. Seat belt warranty for life of vehicle but honda says the buckle where switch is not covered. You can not replace switch but must buy the complete seat belt strap and buckle. To me the seat belt buckle-strap is part of the seat belt. Honda warranty says a seat belt that fails to function properly is covered for the useful life of the vehicle. This is a safety problem as with this failure honda manual says air bags will not fire when srs light on.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.the contact was experiencing issues with the srs air bag warning indicator constantly illuminating on the instrument panel.her vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 08v593000 (air bags:frontal:driver side inflator module), although the failures were identical.the dealer stated that they were unaware of any recalls and the failure she was experiencing may not have been associated with the recall.in addition, the driver's side seat belt would often fail to operate.the failure and current mileages were less than 88,000.

Plastic "button" that keeps the seat belt buckle at shoulder level ( easy reach position) broke off.thus when trying to put on seat belt, first have to pick the seat belt buckle off the floor.also broke off a friends vehicle of the same make, model, and year.
I was alone and stopped at a red light when a vehicle hit me from behind.i had no warning of the approaching car since the driver had fallen asleep.his airbag deployed.my car was knocked directly forward into the truck in front of me, and that truck was knocked into the van in front of it.my airbags did not deploy and my seatbelt/shoulder harness did not prevent me from fracturing my eye-socket on the steering wheel.based on the force of the impact, i believe that my shoulder harness should have prevented this devastating injury.after repairs that did not include replacing the harness, i am still subject to the same type of injury.
All rear seat belts tighten when gas is appled,tight enough to dig into skin. Contacted dealer.dealer said it was as a result of child restraint belt. Replaced belt, but it reoccurred.consumer stated that tall or large passengers are affected by the seat belt. The seat belt digs into shoulder and gets tighter with no slack or freedom of movement after acceleration.
1) the rear seat belt fails after driving for a while2) the seat belt cannot be pulled out anymore; thus it will take in the seat belt slowly and the passenger is locked on the seat tighter and tighter.3) it need to un-buckle the seat belt and return all the belts to the cartridge, and re-buckle again.
For tall/large passengers, rear seatbelts lock up and rachet tighter and tighter with accelleration , causing pain and restricktion of movement.dealer states problem known but no fix available.problem with auto child seat adjustment.i reported this problem over year ago, can not find complaint in system.
The rear seat belts are retractable.however, consumerdoes not have the ability to move them. The belts do not give at all. Dealer maintains the seat belts are not defective.
Power driver's seat feels loose, rocks back and forth slightly. When cornering, seat slides slightly. Returned to dealer for adjustment but has since recurred.car returned to dealer again.*nlm

Vehicles brakes malfunctioned while driving, causing accident where injuries took place. Driver applied brake but pedal went all the way to the floor with no stop. Instead of stopping the vehicle accelerated from 20mph to 65mph on its own and there was no way of stopping it. Emergency break was then tried, when this did not work, car was put in neutral in hopes that this will slow down cars unwarranted acceleration. It was when vehicle hit a pole causing tire to mangle which caused vehicle to stop, had it not been for this collision with the pole the car would not have stopped even with all the other attempts. All star honda 414-269-1399 in milwaukee, wi was called to inquire about what might cause break malfunction and acceleration, mechanic by the name of belal indicated that there have been a lot of problems with the break lines of this particular year, make and model. He mentioned that if break line has pressure in it it might cause the line to burst therefore causing the breaks not to work. He could not give an explanation for the acceleration, although other mechanics have told me it can be a number of factors from the throttle position sensor to something electrical or mass air flow sensor etc.police accident report j9l0xblhkf
My mother had picked up my niece from her school and was waiting formy nephew and his friend to get out of high school. When ready to go, the car was difficult to start. Took about 10 min to get the car to start. After the car started, went into reverse and backed out of the parking space. Put the car in drive and it "chugged" a couple of times. Then the car accelerated unexpectedly. She was unable to slow the car down by applying the brakes. The car traveled 460 feet accelerating the whole time.the approximate speed of the car was between 60-80 mph. At the end of the parking lot, she turned left and the car hit a curb launching them into a pole that holds up the chain link fencing around the school. They went thru the fencing and into the block wall behind it coming to rest there.all 4 occupants were seen by a doctor and released that day. My mother has numerous cuts and bruises. My nephew shoulder and back are hurting him. My niece has scrapes on the right arm from the block wall. My nephews friend has a black eye.
Takata recalls
Mileage: 133,000- started my car at home and couldn't get it out of park.tried turning it off and then on again while stepping on the breaks.break petal release and hit the floor.had to tow vehicle to shop.shop found that entire under body (sub-frame) was rusted, rotted/ leaking.brake and fuel lines totally rotted along with entire under body, especially noted- located on the front passenger side near the strut assembly, beneath the air conditioner drain.total costover $2,000.also, paint pealing/ rusting off.started at 60,000 miles.after reading hundreds of complaints online regarding these same issues, and finding that honda is not taking responsibility (air conditioner is located right above engine) i have decided not to spend another time on this car and will never purchase another honda for as long as i live.i guess people have to die before honda will admit model flaw.i'm so lucky i wasn't driving when my breaks went out.
Rear brake pads replaced and rotors resurfaced two times (in november2002 at 22,000 miles and then in june 2003 at 38,000...current mileage 39,000). I realized there was a problem because of a loud squealing and grinding noise coming from the rear of vehicle and parking brake light remained lit.brakes have not completely failed.....yet.
I was travelling at low speeds and was getting ready to apply my brakes to stop at an intersection.i hit a pothole with my passenger side front tire at about the exact time i depressed by brake pedal.the brake pedal went down almost to floor and i had no braking whatsoever.i stopped by rear-ending the car in front of me.i have never had a problem with the brakes and had had them inspected with the 30,000-mile service a couple of days earlier.seems like it may have had something to do with hitting the pothole.
I bought the 2001 honda accord v6 in june, after a year i had intermittent abs light on and off, i had this abs light on/off since aug 2002 (which is still under warranty period), had the dealer checked and they found no problem until recently in june of 2003, the same problem occurred again and this time i took it to a different dealer to diagnostic (which i have to pay $100 since the warranty expired), they consulted with american honda, and had the abs module replaced under customer assist warranty, the symptom was gone for a day but with sponge brakeand have to bring back to dealer to re-bleed the brake again, with sponge brake pedal the brakes completely bled, and abs light was on. Techician diagnostic with no dtc on the scanner but the abs light was on, guess what...they reset it and let me drive home and told me drive safely. In aug 10th 2003 (which is less than a month) the abs light is on/off again, i called up the dealer that perform the repaired and they request i let them had the car a day to find out what's going on, aug 19th and they returned the car to me un repair and saying i have an electrical issue on the abs brake, they want me to pay 2-3 hours of labor to tear apart my car to find out the problem, i called up american honda again...no help because of the warranty is expired and they will see if the problem is their then they will cover the repair under warranty.i was totally upset about this situation.this is my 1st and will be my last honda, i will get rid it soon.so far...i visited the dealer 5 times for the same problem.

The vin was unavailable.updated 01/13/11the consumer stated he had to stop suddenly because the vehicle in front of him had come to a stop. He applied the brakes, but his vehicle did not stop and consequently, the consumer hit the vehicle in front of him.the skid marks were seven car lengths long which was more than adequate distance to come to a stop. The vehicle was inspected, but no problem was found. Updated 01/24/11.

The consumer was only reimbursed $248.40 of the $835.42 repairs made to vehicle. The consumer wanted to know how did the manufacturer come up with that figure for reimbursement.updated 06/15/06.
Accelerator pedal sticks when applied.this was an intermittent problem.the throttle body was cleaned due to carbon on the throttle plate. *sc the front pads were replaced.
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.
At 65 to 70 miles an hour on straight interstate car began to steer irradically to right. No response to wheel correction, fish tailing, struck one side concrete wall and crossed road to left guard rail.brakes tried at least twice without response and correction of wheel after first hit did not correct direction.airbags deployed front and right side after first hit and perhaps only on second.no significant injuries.total front damage.serpentine belt seen hanging upon removal of car.tie rods and cv joint boots intact, but transmission just replaced under warrantee and cv joints on order for wear perhaps related to transmission being "very sloppy"creating front end vibration in floor at 50 miles an hour to 60 relieved by putting gear into neutral.feel steering failure perhaps related to serpentine belt failure.
Vehicle developed leaks in brake line and fuel line in region below floor pan.this was due to rust-through. Service advisor informed me that this condition has been showing up lately, and showed me an assembly that had been recently replaced on a similar vehicle.vehicle was impounded by dealer because of potential total failure of systems.vehicle required almost two weeks to repair because honda had a national backorder on the replacement parts.this suggests to me that there may be a sudden demand for these parts.
Car vibrates excessively when brakes are applied.brakes and rotors have been replaced 4x since vehicle purchase.dealer has been notified.ph
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord.while driving, the tcs light illuminated and the drive light began to blink.while driving between 35-40 mph, the transmission slipped and the brakes failed.the vehicle has not been inspected by a mechanic.the vin was unknown.the current and failure mileages were 163,000.
When applying brakes vehicle would pull to the left or right causing a distraction to the consumer dealer notified.ts...
The brakes failed to stop the vehicle, and the vehicle continued to accelerate.
While driving consumer applied the brakes andpedal went to the floor.this caused consumer's vehicle to rear end another vehicle in front.upon impact,driver's side air bag did not deploy.butpassenger's side air did deploy.driver sustained neck and back injuries, and was takento the hospital for observation.the vehicle was totaledby the insurance company.
The passenger window hangs and gets stuck in the guide. I have had it fixed 3 times and now it needs a 4th fixing. The anti-lock braking system engages prematurely, making braking ineffective at highway speeds.
First thing in morning vehicle starts to accelerate.when putting on brakes to stop at stop sign,has no brakes.brakes go out intermittently. Contacted dealer, and dealer couldn't find anything wrong, but replacedmaster cylinder.consumer also states that the rotors were turned and brake pads were replaced.
Abs warning light will come on and stay on, and will not shut off. Contacted dealer.
2001 honda accordlx v6 with abs.brake went bad at about 8500miles, master cylinder was replace by matt castrucci honda covered by warranty.the brake failed again at 20000 miles 12/02. There was almost no brake at highway speed. And needed triple the distance to stop the car at red light. Again, it was checked and i was told that the brake master cylinder and abs margulater had gone bad. It wasfixed by local matt castrucci honda (937-439-7470) under warranty.who knows if it is really fixed or not. I bought the car paid thousands extra for safety, now i am a "test driver" of honda. Totally disapointed.
On three different occasions my brakes have completely failed during the same circumstances:in each instance i am driving highway speeds, i brake to a stop because of traffic,when traffic stops i let off my brakes and the car starts moving forward.if i need my brakes immediately i find i have absolutely no brakes.the car doesn't even slow down.the second time this happened i rear ended a car that was three car lengths in front of me because i had no brakes!the other two occasions happened exactly in the same way, but the cars ahead of me started moving and i was able to keep from hitting them.
2001 honda accord, steering wheel lost out of control, brakes did not function properly. There was no control with the steering wheel and the brakes did not respond.the failure of these two main components caused a serious collision on the freeway.possible suspension system failure.*la
I bought the 2001 honda accord v6 in june, after a year i had intermittent abs light on and off, i had this abs light on/off since aug 2002 (which is still under warranty period), had the dealer checked and they found no problem until recently in june of 2003, the same problem occurred again and this time i took it to a different dealer to diagnostic (which i have to pay $100 since the warranty expired), they consulted with american honda, and had the abs module replaced under customer assist warranty, the symptom was gone for a day but with sponge brakeand have to bring back to dealer to re-bleed the brake again, with sponge brake pedal the brakes completely bled, and abs light was on. Techician diagnostic with no dtc on the scanner but the abs light was on, guess what...they reset it and let me drive home and told me drive safely. In aug 10th 2003 (which is less than a month) the abs light is on/off again, i called up the dealer that perform the repaired and they request i let them had the car a day to find out what's going on, aug 19th and they returned the car to me un repair and saying i have an electrical issue on the abs brake, they want me to pay 2-3 hours of labor to tear apart my car to find out the problem, i called up american honda again...no help because of the warranty is expired and they will see if the problem is their then they will cover the repair under warranty.i was totally upset about this situation.this is my 1st and will be my last honda, i will get rid it soon.so far...i visited the dealer 5 times for the same problem.
She was traveling on highway andbrakes failed.
Customer lost control of vehicle, resulting in a crashwhile attempting to disengage cruise control with foot brake w on wet surface.rear tires completely locked when customer tapped the foot brake to disengage speed control,causing vehicle to skid.customer attempted to "stomp-and-steer" vehicle, (as is implied with abs), brakes became unresponsive and pedal travelled to the floor. Customer then applied full throttle to try to pull the vehicle out of the skid, which was unsuccessful due to the traction control overpowering customer's attempt to steer and accelerate out of the skid (the tcs automatically applies front brakes to limit wheel spin at speeds below 20 mph.even though vehicle was travelling at 70, computer must have registered under 20 at that point).vehicle violently spinned out of control off the highway down a 40 foot embankment.
In april 2001, i purchased new honda accord ex from its dealer, planethonda in union, nj. The car had been sore for the last three years. The car was recalled because of faulty transmission. 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 was advised by nhtsa to send the complaint to nhtsa. Please forward the copy of the complaint to the appropriate department, so that they can look into the matter. Thanks....... Ashok kumar
On numerous occasions, the abs warning light has illuminated for no apparent reason.to honda's credit, they have looked over the vehicle a number of times and pulled codes, but no obvious defects were found.the codes were reset.the problem presents more in colder weather.recently, however, the issue has come with the red brake warning light.no obvious issues (leaks, fluid level, spongy feel, etc.) have been detected.the light can be coaxed into going off by restarting the vehicle (sometimes) and other times it will go off by itself - usually leaving the abs warning light on.the problem, again, presents itself more in cold weather, and appears to be electrical.while the brakes appear to work and look excellent mechanically, it is unnerving that the issue has thus far been undiagnosed and resolved by honda.
The brakes smelled like burnt rubber. The dealer indicated that the rear brakes were misaligned at the factory and caused the front pads to rub. The dealer resurfaced the rotors and adjusted the brakes, but the pads continued wearing fast and the rotors continuously overheated.
The vehicle was being pulled into driveway.driver covered the brakes while passenger removed seat belt.the car suddenly accelerated at full speed into the patio.the brakes refused to respond(there was no pressure what so ever).the airbags failed to deploy, the passenger suffered injuries.
Brake failed completely while at highway speed.
On september 20,2001 while driving in light rain. Trying to stop wheels locked, able to turn steering wheel but unable to steer car. Hit car stopped in front ofme no one hurt. Damage to left front end of car.car was inspected, oil change, wheel alignment on october 15 by jl freed honda and passed inspection.on january 31,2002 william was driving put foot on brake to slow down and exit roadway, put foot on brake to slow down and the same thing happened crashed into guardrail. No one hurt.

Rotors and disc wear quickly; dealer claims that soft brakes cause problems.
Brakes pads prematurely (in my opinion) wore out on all four wheels.this is our third new accord, but never this problem.
My father is an owner of a 2001 honda accord ex v6 sedan. The car was purchased in july 2001 and has recently exceeded its warranty mileage of 36,000 miles.two weeks ago, as my father was replacing the rear break pads, he noticed the linkage connecting the rear sway bar to the left rear wheel assembly was broken at the weld points.this broken linkage had caused the inside break pad to wear at much greater rate than the outside pad. My uncle is also an owner of a 2001 honda accord v6 sedan and upon hearing of the broken sway bar in my father??s car, he inspected the rear sway bar in his accord and found that the same linkages were broken on both sides.his broken linkages also caused the same pattern of uneven brake wear in his car.*nlm
Rear brake pads replaced and rotors resurfaced two times (in november2002 at 22,000 miles and then in june 2003 at 38,000...current mileage 39,000). I realized there was a problem because of a loud squealing and grinding noise coming from the rear of vehicle and parking brake light remained lit.brakes have not completely failed.....yet.
Front brakes failed prematurely since ownership of this vehicle february, 2001. Front brake replaced as "good will" by honda at 18618 miles because they did not feel this was to early.this is my third honda, and i have never gotten less than 35,000 miles usage of front brakes. Brakes failed again at 40522 miles, this time paid for replacement of pads and rotors resurfaced. Now at 53554 miles brake pads gone again.

Purchased a certified 2001 honda accord v-6 sedan 3.0 in july 2004 w/ 42,000 miles at 55,000 i needed new rear brakes and rotors.the brake light never came on.per the dealer the rotors were already turned so, i got new rotors.when i picked up the car from the dealer the car is still making a squeaking sounds as you apply the brake.i took the car back and was informed that there was nothing wrong with the braking system or brakes.to this date the car is still squeaking when i apply the brakes.also note that when i returned to the dealer several days later the back brakes were already worn 10 percent but the front brakes were still brand new??????? this is a front wheel drive vehicle which 70 percent of the braking is applied in the front and approx 30 percent is applied in the rear so why do i need brakes and rotors in the rear before the front.and the front brakes are still as brand new ..makes you wonder if the front braking system is working or not?

Right front brake line has a groove cut into it and cv boot is split. First noted on 12/04/03 when car checked for brakes.transmission had been replaced by honda on 03/03 after complaints of hard down shifting. Car still downshifts hard but not all the time. Gas pedal sticks when car is cold on acceleration. Honda corporate has been notified along with dealer. They want me to pay for half of the repairs. Parts have been on order for two weeks. There was never a problem with brakes until honda replaced transmission on 03/03.

2001 honda accord v6 worst of 4 honda's i have owned. Replaced all electrical under drivers seat, replaced brake sensor 3 times - allowsgearshift to release. Rear main seal leak, transmission replaced, door lock motors replaced, led readout on odometer won't show one number, replaced the master cylinder. Car has not been in accident and had to have casters on front frame adjusted so it wouldn't chew up the tires. Most of this happened under warranty except for the rear main seal.this should have been a jag.
Consumer states that when trying to apply the brakes while driving the consumer will also step on the accelerater causing the vehicle to continue to move instead of to stop. Contacted dealer and the dealer is not willing to do anything.nlm
On the fifth year of usage, my honda accord 2001 v6 ex 4-door sedan started producing a loud pop/click when applying pressure on the brake pedal. After taking the car to the dealership twice, they managed to determine the cause - a couple of parts around the pedal need to be replaced (about $200, i have the list from them) with labor charge for about $250 more, total comes to about $450. The dealer claims the problem is cosmetic and doesn't affect the normal vehicle braking. I truly hope so, i haven't performed the repair yet.this problem looks very much like the issue described at nhtsa item number 10013655 (service bulletin number 11012004).i believe honda should stand behind their product, state this is a recall and perform the repairs of such issues for free. Currently it's extremely challenging to even convince the dealership that there's a problem, in addition they charge you a large amount of money for only diagnosing the problem.
When the brakes were applied abruptly the consumer's foot also stepped on the accelerator pedal. *ph the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and explained but they indicated there was nothing amiss. The consumer believes the brake and accelerator pedals are too close together.the consumer indicated the he has owned six honda's in the last 20 years yet none of them exhibited this type of problem.

Takara recall. It was in motion down campwisdom rd in dallas tx 75249 heading towards cedar ridge rd. Last part i remember is stop sign by the nature school. I had just left my parents . Put my seat belt on at the stop sign i had forgot remembering at stop sign. Made a right turn on camp wisdom and just before passing power plant is last i remember . I looked down at the speedometer which read 35 mphtill it was like 3 hours later and everything just faded in and was in a car with my dad in passenger seat.when i became aware the next day i tried to remember what happened and i had out of body experience saw myself walking down the road just above it and what we depict as jesus pointing at me walking then i came to in car with my dad.went back to look at vehicle it hit a tree in front and the side. It was missing a tire from driver side rear. Air bags didn't deploy at all as should have. It was in the middle of a curve from what i can tell and tire popped off the rim. This was in 2013.no one was with me but one person witnessed it and during my unaware period let me use their phone to call my dad. They worked as receptionist at wycliffe linguistics center.

I had my 01 honda accord ex recently inspected by an independent mechanic and they found a rusty hole (size of a quarter) on the topside of the subframe on the passenger side. They stated, that other than this small rusted area, the rest of the subframe and car body was in excellent condition and completely free of rust. Mechanic stated, air conditioning unit is draining on this area of the subframe and this could be under recall. They said this was very dangerous and serious safety issue, the subframe should be replaced asap, and recommended i take it to a honda dealership for recall issues. Took it to mike pruitt honda akron,oh for inspection (for this issue), they put it on a lift and from underneath said they couldn't find a hole in the subframe. I told them, the rust hole is only visible on the topside of the passengerside subframe. They found a small hole (where i mentioned), said it wasn't a safety issue, and there weren't any recalls for this issue. They denied it was caused by the air conditioning leaking on that part of the subframe, yet couldn't give me an alternate reason.they were evasive and dishonest and told them i'm going to another dealer. I brought it to park honda for their inspection, they found the rust hole, and recommended the entire subframe be replaced at the cost of $2250.00. They evaded answering what caused this issue (air-conditioning leaking on subframe) . I hadthem do this work and in the meantime,i will consult a lawyer.

On 4 seperate occasions, i have been driving the car under 35 mph, when the instruments on the dashboard lit up and the car lost all power including the power steering. Today i was almost rear ended when it happened. All the events have been within the last year. I have also noticed that the radio has been skipping stations the last several days. The instrument panel that controls the clock does not work at longer. The most concerning issue is losing power as i'm driving, wondering if the person behind me is going to stop after applying the brakes and putting on my emergency signals. I am not the first person that have had this problem with the 2001 model. Someone needs to look into the situation to determine what is causing the problem and issue a notice before someone dies when the car loses power.
I was t-boned on the drivers side. The airbag deployed and metal lacerated my eyelid causing a cataract and permanent pupil damage.

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. In addition, the paint coating on the car is coming off, fading, and all with significant damage to the overall quality of the car. I see paint coming off from similar vehicles in my area. I believe that both the air bags and paint should be addressed.updated11/24/2014
The paint on my new honda with paint protection, literally started to blister and "ulcer" down to the primer level within 10 months of purchase.none of the other cars, parked in the same area, are suffering the same damage.i have had two auto body restorers look at it, as the damage has spread on the hood, and has started on the driver's side door.in one case, the ulceration has gone down to the base metal.honda and the dealership, ourisman honda, have refused to help, blame "superbirds," ignore the professional opinions of the restorers, and have refused to honor both the honda and paint protection warranties.the auto restorers believe the defect is with the prep or the paint itself, and that other honda owners may be suffering from the same problem.the entire care has to be repainted at an estimated cost of $3500.
Paint peeling on top when i purchased in 2012 just a little bit the size of a small piece of fruit. In 2 1/2 yrs the whole top has peeled, the top of driver side front and back door and the trunk is also starting about 40% now. Car is 01 but i see other makes and models that are that age and older that look ten times better. I see honda accords everywhere with the same problem , especially the same color as mine which is dark green.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While having maintenance performed on the vehicle, the technician discovered that the subframe was completely corroded. The vehicle was deemed unsafe to drive and the subframe needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Front sub frame suspension passenger side rotted . About to fall apart and/or causing right side to lose steering capability.
Honda accord 2001 4-dr sab: passenger side rear front engine support completely rusted away due to ac leak. Driver side rear front subframe is completely fine, no rust. Mechanic said car is too dangerous to drive unless i invest in new subframe for over $1,200. My car only has 70,000 miles on it and i'm very disappointed it hasn't been recalled for clearly a defective ac leakage. I have found many forums with the same problem including the article 'center for auto safety requesting recall of 1.5 million honda accords for rust issue in sub- frame and honda accords found with sub-frames rusted out by the nhou. I could have been seriously injured driving this car while i worked as a food delivery driver for grubhub. I deserve compensation, my passenger subframe is completely rusted out and hanging by a thread whereas my driver side subframe is completely fine. That doesn't just happen it should have been recalled.
Paint peeling and flaking
Subframe completely rusted through underneath air condition. Car 18 years old but has always been kept in the garage. Also it has only 70580 miles and has been in florida for a few years, and used only 3 mos. Per year.
2001 honda accord lx sub frame on the passenger side is rusted through. All the other parts of the sub frame appear to be is solid condition. Ac drainage pipe location above the spot appears to be the reason for the problem. Vehicle was purchased in michigan and brought to finland when we moved there.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the air conditioning hose drained on the front passenger side subframe, which caused the subframe to rust without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the frame needed to be replaced and that the failure was a common issue with ford vehicles. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 192,000.
The contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While driving various speeds and driving over bumps in the road, the contact heard an abnormal rattling noise. Additionally, the passenger side undercarriage was rusted and the service/maintenance warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the engine cradle needed to be repaired and the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 133,875.
My mechanic said that the frame is rotted out under the passenger side wheel well making the vehicle unsafe to drive. The drivers side is fine. The air conditioning hose drips at the spot that is rusted out. This is a major design flaw and should be corrected.
The passenger side rear front engine support is rusting away due to a ac leak my car was bought last year everything was fine due to hot summers and salty wet winters when this summer came my cars frame where the front support meats the back end and where the engine mount is completely rusted away dues to the years of the ac leaking directly onto the frame when i bought the car the info was not disclosed to me that honda with the years 98-02 had this problem my frame has now completely broken and is hanging by a thread this i'd a very dangerous situation as if i'm driving and the frame breaks it could cause seriously injury or death i noticed the noise a couple weeks ago and when inspection the vehicle and doing some research i found that this is a very common thing and don't think i could have to fix the mistake honda made having a leak that drops directly onto the frame after 19 years of that happening the car is finally breaking down because of it
Front engine cradle (passenger side) rusted through, failed state inspection. Ac had not been used for 5-6 years, just fixed before this summer. According to other similar complains, seems it was due to misplacement of ac drain (by design) which drips water to the affected area. Mileage 108800.
Takata recalli am writing you because i brought a car a little under a year ago. I was driving it 2 weeks ago and my breaks gave out it was my break line. I got the car looked at and my frame is rusted and caved in on my break line. I called the dealer the same day nomore then 30min after it happen. The father was not there which is the man who sold me the car at nehre service. He was on vacation he came home 5/16/18 which is 2weeks and a day of it happening. He told me that i need to call the honda factory there was nothing he could do for me. I'm writing this complaint because by law you can not sale a car with a rusted, damaged or bruised frame. He refused to late me trade in when my payments was done which was back in september. I'm to the point where i don't know what to do. Please help me because i put 3000 dollars into this car at this man shop. Please get back to me,i almost lost my life because of this.

Mileage: 133,000- started my car at home and couldn't get it out of park.tried turning it off and then on again while stepping on the breaks.break petal release and hit the floor.had to tow vehicle to shop.shop found that entire under body (sub-frame) was rusted, rotted/ leaking.brake and fuel lines totally rotted along with entire under body, especially noted- located on the front passenger side near the strut assembly, beneath the air conditioner drain.total costover $2,000.also, paint pealing/ rusting off.started at 60,000 miles.after reading hundreds of complaints online regarding these same issues, and finding that honda is not taking responsibility (air conditioner is located right above engine) i have decided not to spend another time on this car and will never purchase another honda for as long as i live.i guess people have to die before honda will admit model flaw.i'm so lucky i wasn't driving when my breaks went out.
The rear engine beam rusted through on the passenger side of my 2001 honda accord ex 4 cylinder sedan rendering the vehicle un-drivable. Honda motor co refuses to accept responsibility for this issue which is a design defect caused by the air conditioner drain line being placed so thatit leaked onto the passenger side of the rear engine beam.the driver side of the beam is perfect, with no rust issue. I have been to 3 local metro detroithonda dealerships and they refuse to replace the engine beam.each of these local dealerships are also refusing to provide an explanation as to why they are refusing to replace the rear engine beam even though i realize i would be paying for it.i can only guess as to why, that being if the dealerships refuse to replace the rear engine beams, then if honda is sued in a class action law suit, they can deny there being aproblem because there would be no supporting repair documentation to subpoena. I bought this car new from honda and have a file three inches thick with dealership maintenance and repair invoices. This is not an issue of owner neglect.there are many other complaints from other 2001 honda accord owners on the internetwith this same complaint to which the nhtsa has so far refused to force a recall. I don't see how this design defect is any different from the toyota trucks which were recalled several years ago for rusted frames which rendered those vehicles un-drivable.this same year vehicle also had a class action lawsuit for transmission issues.this particular vehicle has had 5 transmissions replaced of which i paid for the last one because of the faulty transmission design.this rusted area is next to the transmission, which means the dealership had to have seen this problem developing, but decided to remain silent about it.ihave owned 4 hondas and will never own anotherone.
The clear coat is peeling.started on the roof.then the trunknow it appears the hood may be starting.i kept this car well maintained and there was no good reason for the clear coat to start to peel.honda gave me $500 in "loyalty cash".i have seen this problem on numerous other honda accords dating to the early 2000's.when it first started i thought it was due to using car washes.but then i noticed other vehicles having the same problem.honda didn't even send a representative to look at the car when i requested one.
I was t-boned on the drivers side. The airbag deployed and metal lacerated my eyelid causing a cataract and permanent pupil damage.
Upon a standard oil change at 160,000 miles, i was informed that the front sub frame had rusted through on the passenger and driver side. I was told to talk to a body shop immediately because the car wasn't "road safe".looked into this a bit and found that this is a common problem with accords from this time period due to the placement of the air conditioning drainpipe (which empties right onto the subframe) .the car for the most part is reliable, minus the transmission that failed at 130,000 miles.but a frame shouldn't be "rusted through"after 15 years!sounds unsafe, considering the amount of these cars that are still on the road.called honda today and was informed the repair would cost over $1200 with no goodwill on their end.figured this was the best alternative to the situation.
While changing the front brakes on my car i noticed the right rear corner of my subframe was heavily rusted. Upon closer inspection the subframe has rusted through in several spots. Directly below the air conditioning drain tube i was able to put a finger through the metal with little to no pressure. The location of this drain tube allows water to drip directly onto the subframe. The opposite side of the subframe has barely any rust on it at all. Searching through the internet i found many reports and stories from owners of the 1998 to 2002 honda accords with the same issue. A walk through a local junkyard yesterday provides further proof that this is a design flaw and honda needs to rectify this issue promptly.
The contact owned a 2001 honda accord. The contact's vehicle crashed head on into another vehicle. The air bags deployed, which caused the passenger to sustain a large cut to the left side of the forehead and right side of the head. The passenger side seat belt failed to restrain the passenger. Medical attention was required. In addition, the dashboard split in half. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a tow lot. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Subframe will not pass inspection dew to rust on the passenger side has large holes going through it
The customer contended the brakes were sometimes inoperative/noisy/rubbing and did not stop the car.the customer also had multiple complaints of service at the dealership.the transmission did not shift properly.dealership was unable to duplicate abnormal shifting operations.the engine ran rough and the engine check light illuminated, engine had normal noise.other complaints included the tcs light on, door ajar light, brake light and seat belt light all illuminated while driving. License plate bracket came off.twisted seat belts, rear door, bumper and dash panel replacement.
Upon inspection by a garage, it was found that the a/c drains into front crossmember/ subframe, causing accelerated loss of structural integrity by rapid oxidation.

The green paint on the roof and door started to peel off and generated white layer substance. I noticed many honda green cars have similar problems, i believe that this is badly manufactured, faulty and defective paint.
Very rust undernee the motor suport is brokeis tnger on road
I brought my 2001 honda accord, which is in pristine condition, with 158,000 miles in to my mechanic.clunking noise in the right front passenger area...figured it to be bad sway bars, cv joints etc, so normal wear and tear.i get a call later that day to hear it is a major subframe rusting issue and that the frame connection to the body is broken and the subframe itself is in mutiple pieces.he tells me you have to see this...took pictures...documented the problem. I too 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.honda needs to take responsibility for this before someone gets severely hurt and this turns into a class action lawsuit.
To honda corporationre: recall departmenton june 19 2014 i was driving my 2001 honda accord coupe when i was suddenly hit by a delivery truck who was trying to make an illegal left turn in front of me. My car was total. The front side and passenger side of my car are totally demolished. The irony of it all is that, the front and the side air bag failed to deploy.and as the result i was severely injured without the protection of the air bag. On march 2015 which is almost a year after my accident i received an air bag recall letter from honda corporation. I should have received the warning and recall letter before my accident which is june 19 20014. Honda corporation is responsible for my injuries for making a defaulted air bag and failed to warn me about the situation before my accident.i am asking the maker of honda to pay for my outstanding medical bills which is incurred due to the accident. I still have my honda.honda corporation refuse to reply to my letter.that's why i am making this complaint to the honda corporationtruly[xxx] vin unavailableinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Takata recall - on jan 10th 2017 my son was in a car accident with his 2001 honda accord and the airbag deployed and stuff hit him in the face he was bleeding all over his face. The car was totaled and its now sitting in a junkyard here where we live i have pictures of the car. My son was rushed to the emergency room in reno, nv. He is ok now and he a lot of cuts, bruises and had whiplash. This car was not safe for a teen to be driving for his first car! the car lost control on the highway and bounced several times off the guard rails at 65 mph.
From a position of park in a parking garage to the position of drive the car immediately began accelerating uncontrollably.the gas pedal seemed stuck and slight pressure on it to get it unstuck made the car go faster so i placed both feet on the brake pedal with full downward force but the car kept accelerating.i finally had to crash into another vehicle to prevent my car from hitting people walking in the parking garage.
My 18 year old son bought a 2001 honda accord after saving his money. One year later while having a oil change the mechanic noticed the front passenger side of front subframe was rotted so bad a section was missing. Terrible that honda will do nothing about this problem that seems to affect many accords. I encouraged him to buy a honda or toyota for their reliability, at least toyota did a recall on their frames.
Subframe rust caused by mispositioned a/c drain pipedropped my car off for her 200k tune in nh. The mechanic said the subframe underneath the front passenger seat was shot. I debated whether to spend $1100 for a used subframe and labor. Decided it was a gamble, but probably worth it. Dropped it off two days later and he showed me where. I grabbed the frame and it just crumbled. With the new subframe and tune, she runs like new, even at 200k.later i did more research later and found that other people have had the same issue. I got the car up on a friend's lift and found the a/c drain hose. It was high up in the car and really short! it pointed directly at the subframe. I simply replaced the hose, clamped it on, then tied the end to a thingy further down, so that the opening pointed at the ground. Like $2 in parts and 20 minutes, and i'm an amateur. I'm disappointed that honda never officially acknowledged this design defect. I get that they don't want to pay for subframe replacements - they're a business, yadda yadda. But it's such a basic oversight with an easy solution. Just a little bit more diligence on their part would have saved me over a thousand bucks. Subframe rust is a major safety issue. They deserve to be punished for such laziness and negligence.to nip this in the bud: yes, i live in new england. There's a lot of salt on the roads, but i wash the undercarriage regularly. And if it were general wear-n-tear, the entire subframe would have had similar levels of damage. However, the rot was localized directly under the a/c drain hose.also, the dealership said nothing about subframe rust when i brought the car in for the airbag recall. Some 100 point inspection, huh?
Took my vehicle in for inspection. Mechanic has informed me that the subframe on the passenger side has completely rusted out and is due for immediate failure. Upon researching the subframe for the 6th generation honda accord, multiple articles, blogs, and even a news video report by wews news channel 5, point to a/c drain hose as the issue causing premature wear. The driver's side subframe is significantly in much better condition vs the passenger side.
Trying to avoid car infront, my speed limit is 35 mph, car went down to the embankment, airbag deployed.
Subframe rusted, passenger side. Not sure how long i drove this unsafe vehicle with the bad frame.
The car was involved in a wreck with an 18 wheeler that had a trailer on it.it pulled out in front of my car and the trailer hit the front ofmy car where it totaled my car.the air bag had all types of trash that sms out once the air bag exploded.auhust
Missing front bumper bolts clearly indicated my allegedlynew 2001 accord's bumper had been replaced.california-honda representative visiitng the dealership said she "couldn't explain" how the bolts could have slipped through holes smaller than the boltheads, but that my compaint merely indicated i was unhappy with the car, or i somehow dislodged the bolts, and anyhow that was too bad.specifically, i was informed that it is not illegal to sell a new car that had been repaired. A dealershipmechanic then shouted at my wife and i to "get out" of his busy garage.the dealership's manager (not present during the dispute) subsequently responded to my complaint withbbb by ignoring the complaint and praising his garage staff who, he assured bbb, told him everything.eventually i discovered that bbb not only rejected my complaint but alsodid notbother to registerit as a complaintt.wheni pointed out its omission,bbb finally noted the complaint--as the only one against this large dealership, which is a bbb member,anddescribed the complaint as "resolved."it was not.my wife, accompanying me at the garage incidentthough illwith pancreatic cancer, has since died, and such were times that did not encourage my pursuing either bbb or the honda dealership, located in bloomsburg, pa, for what i had supposed would be simple anwers, not defensive evasions.

This is just to enter a complaint with nhtsa about a subframe issue on this make/model/year car. I understand there have been other complaints on this but not enough at this time to involve a recall.i am writing to you in regards to a safety concern with my 2001 honda accord. The subframe of my 2001 honda accord lx has rotted through. This is located on the front passenger side near the strut assembly, beneath the air conditioner drain, as noted by others on posting on the internet. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the subframe was rusted due to the air conditioner hose leaking. The vehicle is in excellent condition otherwise, especially with very low miles (77,000) there is no other rot on the vehicle. My mechanic says it is unsafe to drive. It appears to be the result of a design flaw relating to the location of the air conditioner drain. Honda should be held responsible for this design flaw and be accountable to repair this unsafe situation. This is an obvious design flaw and should be corrected by honda corp. These vehicles should be recalled immediately given the mounting evidence of this flaw before some poor unaware soul is hurt. I would also like to point out another design flaw with my 2001 honda accord. The car's clear coat is peeling and has been since about 2013, when i brought it to their attention i was informed many others of the same car have the same problem. I explainedi went to a professional paint place and they explained that it was either the way it was applied or the batch lot was a bad catch and you can typically isolate it to an area or manufacturer. I have not had my car repainted as i believe that honda is responsible for this design defect and they should pay for this to be repainted.thank you for your time regarding these issues. I look forward to hearing your response.
Passenger side front subframe rusting out from poor design which has air conditioning condensate dripping on to this area of the subframe.the drivers side does not show any corrosion.i fear complete failure of the subframe and will either have to replace it or junk the vehicle.all because of a poor design issue.
I had my 01 honda accord ex recently inspected by an independent mechanic and they found a rusty hole (size of a quarter) on the topside of the subframe on the passenger side. They stated, that other than this small rusted area, the rest of the subframe and car body was in excellent condition and completely free of rust. Mechanic stated, air conditioning unit is draining on this area of the subframe and this could be under recall. They said this was very dangerous and serious safety issue, the subframe should be replaced asap, and recommended i take it to a honda dealership for recall issues. Took it to mike pruitt honda akron,oh for inspection (for this issue), they put it on a lift and from underneath said they couldn't find a hole in the subframe. I told them, the rust hole is only visible on the topside of the passengerside subframe. They found a small hole (where i mentioned), said it wasn't a safety issue, and there weren't any recalls for this issue. They denied it was caused by the air conditioning leaking on that part of the subframe, yet couldn't give me an alternate reason.they were evasive and dishonest and told them i'm going to another dealer. I brought it to park honda for their inspection, they found the rust hole, and recommended the entire subframe be replaced at the cost of $2250.00. They evaded answering what caused this issue (air-conditioning leaking on subframe) . I hadthem do this work and in the meantime,i will consult a lawyer.
I own a 2001 honda accord lx that i purchased new from a honda dealership in may 2001. The front passenger side sub frame has rusted through. The driver side sub frame has not rusted in that manner. In checking further, the air condition drain hose/outlet drips directly on the front passenger side sub frame and is the source of the rusting condition that only exists on that side.i no longer feel it is safe to drive this vehicle and believe others may be operating their 1999-2002 honda accords without knowledge of this dangerous passenger side sub frame issue. Honda should be required to alert registered vehicle owners of this issue and also take corrective action to make the vehicles safe again to operate.

The sub frame on the passenger side is extremely rusted out on the top side of the frame making it harder to notice. The drivers side is fine, but under the ac drain on the passenger side, almost rusted through making the car undriveable. Fortunately, i noticed it while replacing the stabilizer link but this has to be a safety concern for honda.

Took my vehicle to get rear struts replaced and state inspection. Was told car would fail because rear crossover sub frame was rotted beyond repair along withrear bumper frame. Ive been hearing thumping coming from rear right of vehicle thts why i thought it was a strut. Im getting it repaired but it seams like an aweful lot of these vehicles have the exact same problems, sounds like a manufacturers problem to me. The rest of my car is rust free.

Vibration problem - vibration is felt throughout the car at highway speeds. The vehicle has been tested by the honda dealer and by the district manager and they acknowledged the vibration. Honda took back the car for three weeks and conducted tests. They concluded the vibration is acceptable - however they would not provide me with any written coorespondence. I have spoken to several other honda owners with the same model and year as my car and they are having the same problem. It appears to be something that cannot be easily diagnosed. Please investigate. Thank you.
While traveling at highway speeds of 45 mph or higher vehicle begins to wander and there is a vibration in steering column.dealership has examined vehicle, and could not determine a cause for the problem.vehicle experiences starting problems.
I was at dealer for regular check up and they mentioned my car subframe rear beam passenger side is rusted and its very unsafe to drive. They quoted me $2500 and other mechanics $1600. I was keep on checking the rust regularly for my safety and noticed the ac water is dropping from the subframe and that part is always wet. After research in online, i came to know this is a honda 98-02 car design issue. Because of the ac drain pipe now my car is unsafe to drive and i cant spend $2500. There has been so many complains about this this should be a recall to avoid any crash. Request you to take this very seriously otherwise there will be many crashes in upcoming years and now this defect is for 15 years and people might have not noticed until now. In upcoming years they will see this or run into an accident.
While driving consumer heard a rattling noise.consumer took vehicleto the dealer for inspection, butmechanic was unable to duplicate the problem.
While driving down the road at 60 mph going around a turn, heard a loud bang from the front passenger side of the vehicle.had vehicle inspected and found the subframe had snapped.just had oil changed at a honda dealership less than 1 months ago.they said they didn't see the subframe rusted.this vehicle has been 90% dealer maintained it's whole life.i live in ohio and dealership stated they have never seen an accord rust in that area.honda needs to resolve this issue and fix issue.my car is now unsafe to drive and almost not worth the repair cost.$2500+ at the dealership.this is unacceptable.i am not the first to report this this and there should be a recall.

I am writing in regards to a 2001 honda accord that i own.i have close to 76,000 miles, and i have always done every recommended service with a local honda dealer here in canandaigua , ny. On june 21, 2007 i took thehondato dealerfor a noise in the rear of the car, it turned out to be rear stabilizer joints, both of them were replaced.not even a week later, i am driving home from a short trip and hear this loud pop like my tire blew up. I had no idea what was happening,the next thing i knew something was scraping the road, and i could see some smoke intherear view mirror, i somehow stopped the car and my mother and i get out.fortunately, we weren't killed, a lower ball joint separated and pulled the axle out of the transmission and fluid leaked all over.i never expected this from a honda, especially when i took good care ofthe car.my next question wasthe life expectancy of a lower ball joint,was it something that could go or breakapart. Also, i would like to know how this could happen with no warning signs.when repairing the car i had the dealer check the other ball joints on the other side, and they noticed some play or movement in them.so they replaced the upper and lower ball joints on the other side.which was also odd to me that 3 out of 4 ball joints needed replacementat such low mileage. I had the car inspected at the honda dealer in october 2006, and during an inspection i understood that ball joints were to be looked at.if so, how come i was not informed of any rust in the ball joints at that time.how could they possibly have gotten so bad in 8 months time to cause such a catastrophe.

While drivingrear strutsmade a rattling noise.dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
While accelerating from a stop the accelerator pedal became stuck intermittently.the consumer was able to decelerate the vehicle.dealership repaired the iac valve. Both rear seat belt became stuck.the transmission was very noisy.both front wheel bearing were replaced because they were making noise.
The automatic transmissionfailed while the consumer was driving.the dealer suggested that they would have to replace the transmission.tsalso, the wheel bearing(s) failed.scc
While returning from vacation the car began to make noises from both front tire areas. The car suspension felt loose and there was a distinct lack of control. The honda dealer took it in immediately and replaced both front wheel bearings and the links that hold the stabilizing bars to the frame. We have already replaced the bearings in the back wheels.
Both right and left links connnecting the rear stabilizer bar to the rest of the rear suspension broke. This allowed the bar itself to swing freely and bang against other suspension components and the underside of the car.both links failed in the same way, breaking into two at the lower welded joint.

My father is an owner of a 2001 honda accord ex v6 sedan. The car was purchased in july 2001 and has recently exceeded its warranty mileage of 36,000 miles.two weeks ago, as my father was replacing the rear break pads, he noticed the linkage connecting the rear sway bar to the left rear wheel assembly was broken at the weld points.this broken linkage had caused the inside break pad to wear at much greater rate than the outside pad. My uncle is also an owner of a 2001 honda accord v6 sedan and upon hearing of the broken sway bar in my father??s car, he inspected the rear sway bar in his accord and found that the same linkages were broken on both sides.his broken linkages also caused the same pattern of uneven brake wear in his car.*nlm
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.

I purchased a michelin tire for a honda accord in december 2001.i did not realize at the time of purchase that the tire was 34 months old.tire failed 4 weeks ago (5/24/02) with less than 10,000 miles on it.dealer claims it was due to road hazard.the tire failed in a parking lot at less than 10 mph.there were no road hazards in sight.the dealer would not replace the tire.i had to buy another michelin tire to match the other tires.the replacement tire they sold to me was manufactured at the same time as the original tire--making it 40 months old at time of purchase.i think it is highly unusual that michelin can sell tires that are 3 1/2 years old as new tires. Are there any regulations in place that prevent tire manufacturers from selling stock as "new" when it was actually manufactured 2.5 - 3.5 years earlier? this appears to be a gross misrepresentation of a "new" product.would appreciate your comments.thank-you.don bintz 702-656-8074 h.p.
Tire failed after 6000 miles (mostly low speed miles).there was no evidence of road hazard.no punctures in tire.manufacturer was unable to provide a valid reason as to why the tire failed.without a valid reason as to why the tire failed i cannot allow my wife to drive the car with bridgstone tires on it.i have paid for four replacment goodyear tires.manufacturer refuses to take the tires back saying that they will only give me one new tire.i have kept the tire in case anyone needed to look at it.

In april 2001, i purchased new honda accord ex from its dealer, planethonda in union, nj. The car had been sore for the last three years. The car was recalled because of faulty transmission. 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 was advised by nhtsa to send the complaint to nhtsa. Please forward the copy of the complaint to the appropriate department, so that they can look into the matter. Thanks....... Ashok kumar

Takata recallhonda 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.
Vehicles brakes malfunctioned while driving, causing accident where injuries took place. Driver applied brake but pedal went all the way to the floor with no stop. Instead of stopping the vehicle accelerated from 20mph to 65mph on its own and there was no way of stopping it. Emergency break was then tried, when this did not work, car was put in neutral in hopes that this will slow down cars unwarranted acceleration. It was when vehicle hit a pole causing tire to mangle which caused vehicle to stop, had it not been for this collision with the pole the car would not have stopped even with all the other attempts. All star honda 414-269-1399 in milwaukee, wi was called to inquire about what might cause break malfunction and acceleration, mechanic by the name of belal indicated that there have been a lot of problems with the break lines of this particular year, make and model. He mentioned that if break line has pressure in it it might cause the line to burst therefore causing the breaks not to work. He could not give an explanation for the acceleration, although other mechanics have told me it can be a number of factors from the throttle position sensor to something electrical or mass air flow sensor etc.police accident report j9l0xblhkf
My ignition-park interlock is faulty but isn't under the current recall. It may be common sense to put the e-brake on when parking but not everyone is perfect, my vehicle has nearly rolled away multiple times now. Luckily i caught it in time to stop it from crashing. Also if i do leave the vehicle in d4 with the e-brake on, ignition key out of course, and i leave the vehicle parked, someone could break in and push it away. Regardless what i showed the dealership, they told me to contact honda of america to file a complaint. I just did that and got told the same thing.

I have a 2001 white honda accord. I purchased the car used in july 2004 and it was purchased from a honda dealership. It was a "honda certified used car," and i purchased the additional warranty for it. Over the past year, i have noticed the paint is starting to stain. I have kept the car waxed, at least 1 time a year since i got it, but even this doesn't help. The paint is starting to bubble up and flake off...like blisters bursting open. There are several spots like this on the car. Also, every time i run through something on the road, the white paint stains. It will not come out during a hand washing or waxing. I took it to honda, and they would not help. I took it to a local shop that is very reputable in the area and was told there is no clear coat left on the car, and it appears to have been a problem when the original paint was applied.
Takata recall...i got a recall letter in the mail...i went to the dealer and had it fixed. It was the srs red light. However, the srs redlight still came on after it was fixed. When i mentioned that to the representative he said:" the srs light serves several purposes. Not only srs, but also seat restraints.and several others. If we want to determine that, it is an extra charge of $ 150.00 plus parts". I do not believe that is right. The warning light clearly says "srs".your comments please.
Hi!i am hoping to own this car for ten more years.since purchase complained headlights not working (have service complaint documented) as i cannot see in snow, rain, ice, when you need them the most. Also believe car fills with exhaust fumes for many years.has anyone checked this out?
Honda accord 2001 4-dr sab: passenger side rear front engine support completely rusted away due to ac leak. Driver side rear front subframe is completely fine, no rust. Mechanic said car is too dangerous to drive unless i invest in new subframe for over $1,200. My car only has 70,000 miles on it and i'm very disappointed it hasn't been recalled for clearly a defective ac leakage. I have found many forums with the same problem including the article 'center for auto safety requesting recall of 1.5 million honda accords for rust issue in sub- frame and honda accords found with sub-frames rusted out by the nhou. I could have been seriously injured driving this car while i worked as a food delivery driver for grubhub. I deserve compensation, my passenger subframe is completely rusted out and hanging by a thread whereas my driver side subframe is completely fine. That doesn't just happen it should have been recalled.
On inspection of the vehicle, the engine cradle/ subframe on the passenger side is rusted most of the way through making the car unsafe to drive. The drivers side is fine.
Takata recall. Vehicle was parked in the hot florida sun. Airbag deployed spontaneously on front drivers side.

The paint on my 2001 honda accord is peeling and the clear coat is lifting,front to back, i have noticed this on many honda's of years around the same age, dark colors, the paint and body shops said that there must be a problem with the paint and procedures in painting the car , this is the only honda out of the 9 other honda's, i've owned with a paint problem, this car only has 60000 miles on it, other honda'sthati have had as much as 250,000, and the paint looked great (1990 accord) the dealer ship (groppetti honda claims they never heard of this problem, but i continue to see hondas with this same paint problems, this looks like the same type of problem general motors had back years ago and they corrected the paint with a recall, after many complaints, i know there are many complaints out there.
The front subframe on the passenger side has rusted through due to hondas great idea to let the a/c drain there.it's a very common problem and something needs to be done about this.now my car could fall apart at any moment which is clearly not safe.

Before coming to a stop.driver continuously attempted to stop and control the vehicle without response from the vehicle.no injuries sustained.insurance company and an independent investigator could not find the cause of the problem and wanted to repair the vehicle.consumer was displeased with those findings, citing that no normal person could have traveled that distance without it being a vehicle malfunction.consumer strongly urged the insurance company to total the vehicle, fearing that this malfunction could reoccur.the insurance company complied with the consumer.
The transmission failure of honda accord lx 4-cylinder fwd - occurred. The d4 indicator started blinking. I am unable to drive beyond 10 miles or go to 2nd or more gears. Automatic transmission fluid (atf) leaks occurred. An abnormal loud noise from the transmission. The vehicle has 83,000 miles on it. Single owner and all service maintenance completed at the honda dealer. I contacted honda dealer, they said, need to change shift solenoid b or linear shift solenoid set. If that don't fix the problem, need to change the entire transmission.
The vehicle was being pulled into driveway.driver covered the brakes while passenger removed seat belt.the car suddenly accelerated at full speed into the patio.the brakes refused to respond(there was no pressure what so ever).the airbags failed to deploy, the passenger suffered injuries.
While parking vehicle rapidly accelerated jumping two curbs, damaging three other vehicles, a small pickup truck, and a chain link fence.
The contact owned a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at speeds of 25 mph, the vehicle abnormally accelerated without driver intent. The brakes were applied but would not engaged.the vehicle proceeded to crash into another vehicle. The driver sustained unknown injuries. The police arrived on the scene and a police report was filed accordingly. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where he advised that there were no failures found within the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted but would not provide any assistance. One year later, while at a stop sign, the vehicle accelerated again, without warrant. The contact no longer owns the vehicle. The failure and current miles were unknown.
I started my vehicle and put it in reverse. The pedal resisted and would not depress. I tapped it lightly and without warning the vehicle shot backwards at high speed, accelerating uncontrollably. As it accelerated backwards, i side swiped the neighbor's vehicle. The vehicle proceeded backwards striking the front of another neighbors condo. After striking the condo, the engine continued to race at high rpms and continued to try and surge backwards. Smoke began to come from the front of vehicle, apparently from tires that were still rotating. Without warning, the vehicle accelerated forward at high speed. The vehicle hit and jumped over a curbed island in the lot. The vehicle stopped its sudden acceleration and came to a stop across the parking lot. The police arrived at the scene and took a report and pictures. Officer comstock conducted a query on "uncontrolled acceleration" and found numerous reports of vehicles accelerating uncontrollably. He found several references to it possibly being tied to the "cruise control". He advised me to have the vehicle towed to a honda dealership for inspection. He advised not to operate the vehicle for safety reasons. The vehicle was inspected by honda reps. I expressed concern that the vehicle was not safe to drive as evident by the police report, pictures and property damage. They were not concerned and stated there was no safety issue. I am shocked that they did not take the police report and pictures seriously enough to take this vehicle off the road. I would like to state that the day before the accident, i was teaching at the middle school. If this happened the day before, i most likely would have mowed down and possibly killed middle school children. The issue is not whether honda found proof of the malfunction but the malfunction did occur. Morally and ethically, i can not drive this vehicle and put other drivers including myself at risk. This is a serious and potentially deadly matter and honda clearly is not concerned.

While making a 3-point turn to back out of a tight parking space (front end to curb) the car suddenly accelerated (i put it into reverse(in the third part of this turn)when this happened) and hit the parked car behind me with sufficient force to push that car into the one next to it. There would have been no reason for me to hit the brakes (and mistakenly hit the accelerator, as one would think might have happened) as i was only going a few miles an hour when this sudden huge acceleration occurred. There was quite a lot of damage both to my car and the two parked cars. The cars are currently being repaired but i am someone hesitant to drive mine again. Please advise.

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.
The power windows except for the driver's side stopped working from today (oct/13/2004). Not sure how much expense involved in fixing them as i don't have extended warranty for the vehicle. Also, driver's side window too slow in movement.
The passenger window hangs and gets stuck in the guide. I have had it fixed 3 times and now it needs a 4th fixing. The anti-lock braking system engages prematurely, making braking ineffective at highway speeds.

2001 honda accord lx sub frame on the passenger side is rusted through. All the other parts of the sub frame appear to be is solid condition. Ac drainage pipe location above the spot appears to be the reason for the problem. Vehicle was purchased in michigan and brought to finland when we moved there.
The axel that holds my tires on do not hold the bolts that are put on. I have had to replace every single bolt on all four tires once a month, if not more. The bolts come lose after replacing them and tightening them. The bolts keep cross threading after fixing them and putting them on correctly. My driver seat belt comes undone while driving down the road. The interior lights where the clock is and below come on and off randomly. This happens on a day to day basis, ever since i purchased my car. I will be driving down the road and hear a noise coming from my tires, pull over and a bolt or two has come off. This is unsafe for not only me but my family.
