WHILE TRYING TO CHANGE LANES VEHICLE WON'T DOWNSHIFT TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. CAR WILL GO FOR WEEKS FINE, THEN WILL GO FOR HOURS OR WEEKS FAILING TO REPOND WHEN GAS PEDAL DEPRESED TO SPEED UPTWO LOCAL DEALERS HAD SEEN CAR BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT CAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL REPOND TO MY NEEDS. *AK

CONSUMER STATES ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. DEALER FOUND A LOOSE GAS CAP. *TT

BRAKE FAILED COMPLETELY WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED.*AK

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.

RE -ODI ACTION PE02-072 SINCE NEW, MY HONDA ACCORD HAS HAD A LOOSE AND RECLINING DRIVERS SEAT WHICH FALLS BACK DURING ACCELERATION. SEAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY THREE TIMES, COMPLETELY REPLACING ALL SEAT PARTS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. AMERICAN HONDA ATTEMPTED TO COVER THESE REPEATED REPAIRS AND GAVE ME A FREE 100,000MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

MY 2001 ACCORD HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATOR STICKING SINCE IT WAS NEW. WHILE IT HASN'T YET STUCK OPEN IT DOES STICK EVERDAY. IT SEEMS WORSE WHEN IT IS FIRST CRANKED IN THE MORNING, HOWEVER, LETTING IT WARM UP HAS NOT EFFECT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN PARKING GARAGES AND LOTS. I HAVE HAD THIS AUTO TO APPLE TREE HONDA ON AT LEAST SIX OCCASIONS AND THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE LEFT IT OVERNIGHT FOR THEM TO SERVICE THE NEXT DAY AND THEY INSIST IT DOESN'T DO THIS WITH THEM. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THEM ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS AND PAID FOR THREE FUEL INJECTION CLEANINGS. THE ACCELERATOR STILL STICKS. I UNDERSTAND FROM DOING INTERNET RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY YEAR AUTOMOBILE, YET HONDA OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. IN ADDITION, MY TRANSMISSION IS GETTING WORSE DAY BY DAY. IT NOW DOESN'T ENGAGE PROPERLY ESPECIALLY AFTER DRIVING, STOPPING AND TAKING OFF AGAIN ON A GRADE. WHILE THIS CAR HAS A GRADE LOGIC SENSOR THE SENSOR APPARENTLY DOESN'T DO IT'S JOB BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND IT NEVER ENGAGES. APPLE TREE ALSO TELLS ME THAT THEY JUST CAN'T SEEM TO DUPLICATE ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I AM AWARE THAT THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO A RECALL BUT APPLE TREE HAS NEVER MENTIONED ANY REPAIR TO ME. IN ADDITION, FROM INTERNET RESEARCH, WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR ACCORD FOR THIS WARRANTY REPAIR THEY USE A "USED" TRANSMISSION UNDER THE EXCUSE THAT IT WILL TAKE TO LONG TO GET A NEW ONE. I HAVE WRITTEN A DETAILED LETTER TO AMERICAN HONDA TO SEE IF THEY WILL ASSIST ME, OTHER THAN ANOTHER TRIP TO APPLE TREE, WHOSE SERVICE IS SUBSTANDARD AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. WHEN I OWNED MY FIRST ACCORD I DROVE OVER AN HOUR FOR SERVICE TO ANOTHER STATE BECAUSE APPLE TREE ACTUALLY DAMAGED BY CAR DURING SERVICE, LEFT ME SITTING THREE HOURS DURNING A 10 MINUTE OIL CHANGE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T "FORGOT" I WAS WAITING, ETC. THIS IS MY SECOND ACCORD BUT DEFINITELY MY LAST UNLESS HONDA DEALS WITH THE ISSUES.*AK

VEHICLE WAS IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION AT A SPEED OF 50 MPH, AND BOTH DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK

CONSUMER HAD JUST LEFT LOT, DROVE IT ABOUT 10 MILES WHEN ALL OF INDICATOR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. CONSUMER CALLED DEALER FROM CELL PHONE, AND DEALER ADVISED TO CHECK TO SEE IF OIL WAS IN VEHICLE. CONSUMER GOT VEHICLE HOME, BUT TOOK IT IN NEXT DAY. 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. *AK *SLC

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. *AK

VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM DASH BOARD. FIRE INSPECTOR DETERMINED THAT CAUSE WAS ARSON. CONSUMER WITNESSED ACCIDENT AND DISPUTED THIS RULING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

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. *AK

1) FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT LOCK IN PLACE. SEAT SLIDES ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT WHEN I BRAKE. MY PASSENGERS HAVE TO QUICKLY BRING THEIR ARMS FOWARD TO STOP THEMSELVES FROM HITTING THE DASHBOARD; ONE TIME MY PASSENGER HAND HIT HER EYE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO STOP THE SEAT FROM HITTING THE DASHBOARD. 2) SRS INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON WHEN I JUST PLACE A LIGHT PURSE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD V6 WITH ONLY 15,000 MILES. 3) THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO NHTS REGARDING THIS SRS LIGHT MALFUNCTION. WHEN WILL NHTS DO A RECALL? THE DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE ME TO LOOK INTO THE SEAT NOT LOCKING IN PLACE, AND THE SRS LIGHT.*AK

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.
