2000 Honda Accord Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The contact owns a 2000 Honda Accord. The contact stated that immediately after purchasing the vehicle, it was discovered that the SRS warning light was illuminated and remained illuminated while operating the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not contacted regarding the failure. No further information was available. The failure mileage was 129,000.

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER ELK GROVE HONDA (8550 LAGUNA GROVE DR, ELK GROVE, CA 95757) WHERE THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED IN A TURNING LANE, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED HEAD ON. NO FURTHER DETAILS WERE AVAILABLE ON THE IMPACT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED. AN AMBULANCE WAS ON SCENE AND NOTIFIED HER THAT HER BLOOD PLEASURE WAS HIGH BUT THE CONTACT DECLINED TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED WRIST AND BRUISED LEFT KNEE WHEN SHE RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION FROM HER DOCTOR THREE DAYS LATER AFTER THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THEIR LOCAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS PENDING AN INSPECTION FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE LOCAL DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 196,000.

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

Dealer has not completed the required repairs for open recall. Arrived at dealership (Boardwalk Honda, 609-428-4499) on 10-14-20 and was told part was not ready, and that I would be notified when it was. I have not been notified, and the dealership has not been responsive

I WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. I AM THE HEAD OR HOUSEHOLD IN MY FAMILY AND OUR SAFETY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. THANK YOU, I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE TO GET A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V026000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) WARNING INDICATOR HAS BEEN LIT FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2020. IT IS AUGUST 2020, 5 MONTHS FROM THE RECALL LETTER, AND I AM CONCERNED THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, AND THERE IS NO AVAILABILITY DATE FOR AN OPEN RECALL TO REMEDY THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEED, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE DEFLATED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO FISHTAIL AND CRASHED ON THE RAIL AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND POPPED AND EMITTED NOXIOUS SMELLING SMOKE. THE CONTACT AND HIS WIFE SUSTAINED SORE SHOULDERS, RIBS AND LOWER BACK INJURIES BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND WAS TOWED AWAY. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CALLED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 128,000.

HONDA DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE RECALLED AIRBAGS IN MY CAR. DEALER CLAIMS THAT HONDA IS NOT RELEASING THE PART UNTIL NEXT YEAR. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THEM TO FULFILL THE REQUEST TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS, BUT THEY HAVEN'T RESPONDED.

HONDA HAS NOT PROVIDED RESOLUTION TO AN AIRBAG RECALL. IT HAS BEEN OVER 60 DAYS SINCE I SPOKE WITH A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE. I HAVE THE OPTION OF EITHER DRIVING MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AN EXPLODING AIRBAG OR DISABLING THE AIRBAG- NEITHER ARE GOOD OPTIONS. IN SPEAKING TO A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE (CASE # 10346220) THEY TOLD ME THE CHANCES WERE VERY SLIM THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD CAUSE HARM- HOWEVER, THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE CHANCES OF THE AIRBAG CAUSING HARM. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME SHE COULD NOT SEND ME THAT INFORMATION BUT I COULD LOOK IT UP MYSELF ONLINE. HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE ME WITH ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL AN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DO THIS. AT THIS POINT I AM NOT ALLOWING MY CHILDREN TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE DISABLED THE AIRBAG THROUGH REMOVING THE FUSE. HONDA SHOULD EITHER OFFER TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE, PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE, OR PROVIDE SOME OTHER FORM OF COMPENSATION WHILE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE IS OUTSTANDING. *TR
