HONDA 08L14-E09-100 Complaints

ENGINE DTC P0122, (LOW-VOLTS ON THE TPS). IT STARTED TO SET ON MY 2005 CIVIC DX. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE THEN PUBLISH IT FOR HEAVENS SAKES ! *CN

PURCHASED 2003 HONDA ACCORD USED FROM TOYOTA DEALERSHIP OCTOBER 2005. NOTICED STRANGE SOUND COMING FROM VEHICLE AND GEARS WOULD SHIFT STRANGELY WITHIN A YEAR LATER. TOOK HONDA ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING AND QUESTIONED SOUND SEVERAL TIMES, HONDA INSIST IT WAS OTHER ITEMS THAT WAS WRONG WITH VEHICLE BUT NEVER REFERENCED TRANSMISSION. GEARS ON CAR STARTED SLIPPING AND THE SHIFT CHANGING GOT WORSE AS IF IT DID NOT WANT TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. AS I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, CAR STOP PULLING AND WHEN I WOULD PUSH THE GAS, THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP AND THE RPM WOULD BASICALLY GO OFF THE METER (HIGH). CAR WOULD NOT PULL IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. WHEN CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUID, IT WAS GREATLY DISCOLORED (BLACK). I TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED CAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO PULL BEFORE JERKING STRONGLY THEN GOING BACK IN THE REV ENGINE/NOT PULLING STATE. BECAUSE THE FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR NEAR DEALERSHIP AND DEALERSHIP MECHANICS WAS CLOSED, I HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS CHIPPING IN THE TRANSMISSION (THE DARK DISCOLORATION) AND OVERHEATING WHICH IN TURN CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT, AND THE TORQUE, PUMP AND OTHER TRANSMISSION PARTS HAD TO BE REPLACED. TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST DID STATE THAT THE RECALL WAS EITHER NOT DONE, PARTS WERE FAULTY, OR SERVICE WASN'T SUFFICIENT AND DID CAUSE THE LONG TERM TRANSMISSION FAILURE *TR

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE WITH MY WIFE AND OUR 5 CHILDREN AT A STEADY SPEED OF 60 MPH, THERE WAS A SNAP/JERKING MOTION FELT AND SLIGHT RUBBER SMELL AND THE VAN IMMEDIATELY LOST ACCELERATION. THERE WAS STEADY TRAFFIC I HAD TO NEGOTIATE THROUGH TO GET OUR VAN SAFELY OFF THE INTERSTATE. THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION NEEDING TO BE REPLACED IN OUR 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY AND I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT DO SO BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED FOR THE LAST REPLACEMENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME TO ADVISE OF RECOURSE OPTIONS I HAVE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

IN NOVEMBER 2005, THE DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC SEATBELT ON MY 1991 HONDA ACCORD COUPE (EX) STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AND WOULD NOT RETRACT TO THE DRIVING POSITION. THERE WAS AN ANNOYING BEEPING SOUND ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MALFUNCTION. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER (IN ST. THOMAS VI) INFORMED ME THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AND QUOTED 4 PARTS COSTING OVER $1,411.62, AND THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE ME THAT THESE REPLACEMENTS WOULD WORK. SO THEY DISCONNECTED THE SEAT BELT MOTOR (UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT), MANUALLY MOVED THE SEAT BELT INTO THE DRIVING POSITION, AND ALSO DISCONNECTED SOME OTHER SEAT BELT ELECTRONIC PART BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT NEAR THE HANDLE AND STORAGE COMPARTMENT OF THE BACK SEAT, BEHIND A SORT OF PANEL IN THAT AREA. OVER TWO YEARS LATER IN 2008, THE DRIVER SIDE LAP BELT RELEASE BUTTON BROKE AND FELL INSIDE THE SEAT BELT CLIP PREVENTING ME FROM LOCKING THE SEAT BELT IN PLACE. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON LINE AND FOUND THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY HONDA RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM. I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE DEALER TO GET THEM TO ADMIT THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM THEY SHOULD FIX, AND THEY DID; BUT FORCEFULLY STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC SEATBELT PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED. IN LOOKING IN THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM, I REALIZED THAT THEY HAD MISREPRESENTED THAT "I CHOSE NOT TO FIX THE AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT PROBLEM" IN 2005. I REFUTED THE ACCURACY OF THE STATEMENT. I WAS BILLED $26.38 AND RECEIVED NO SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS SO I DEMANDED A QUOTE TO FIX IT. THAT'S WHEN I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST OVER $630 FOR THE PART AND $50 OR $75 FOR THE LABOR. I HAD TO INSIST THAT THEY GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE WITH THE PART NO. IN CHECKING WITH ANOTHER DEALER, I WAS ABLE TO BUY THE PART FOR $362 (INCL. S/H). I PAID THE LABOR TO DEALER TO HAVE IT PUT IN, AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. ABOUT APRIL 2009, I STARTED GETTING OCCASIONAL BEEPS AND STICKING OF THE SEATBELT AGAIN, BUT IT WOULD RESET ITSELF. SINCE LAST WEEK, AROUND DEC. 2, 2009, IT'S STICKING CONSTANTLY. I CAN'T PAY FOR THIS AGAIN; HONDA SHOULD PAY. *TR

WAS DRIVING A 2001 ODYSSEY VAN ON 11/24/2000 AND AT 8:00 PM ON 321 NORTH TO BLOWING ROCK, NORTH CAROLINA AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY. WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO GET THE VAN OFF THE ROAD AND WERE FORTUNATE IT OCCURRED WHERE IT DID BECAUSE PART OF THAT HIGHWAY HAS NO EASY PULL-OFF AREA. ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY BY HONDA IN LATE 2006.....THIS TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED WAS ONLY ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD, HAD ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT, AND WAS SERVICED ACCORDING TO HONDA GUIDELINES. HONDA REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY.....I BELIEVE THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR THAT HONDA HAS HAD TRANSMISSION DEFECT ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WE HAVE FILED AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT WITH BETTER BUSINESS AND WITH AMERICAN HONDA....CASE NUMBER FOR HONDA IS NO12009-11-3--1138. *TR

INTERIOR LIGHTING HONDA MANUFACTURE HAD A INTERIOR LIGHTING RECALL FOR HONDA ACCORD 2001 LX , BUT THEY DIDN'T RECALL FOR HD ACCORD 2001 EX. *TR

WHILE PARKING MY CAR IN MY GARAGE, I HAD PUT IT IN PARK AND TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN LUNGED FORWARD HITTING MY DRYWALL, SOLAR WATER HEATER, WASHER AND DRYER THEN IT JUMPED BACK AND STOPPED. I WAS SO STUNNED AS I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE. INSTANTLY THE CAR DECIDED TO GO IN REVERSE AT AN ACCELERATED RATE DOWN THE HILL OF MY DRIVEWAY HITTING THE CONCRETE SIDE OF MY NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE, THEIR CAR AND BOUNCED FORWARD UP THE HILL TO HIT MY HOUSE AGAIN AND STOPPED AT THE CREST OF THE HILL. THE CAR IS TOTALED. STATE FARM INSURANCE HIRED AN INVESTIGATOR SEA THAT DECIDED THAT THERE ARE NO DEFICIENCIES YET THEY FAILED TO LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, POWERTRAIN ONLY REVIEWED THE BRAKES, TIRES, THROTTLE. CAN YOU HELP ME. AFTER REVIEWING AN ARTICLE OF THE TOYOTAS AND HOW THEY AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE GONE TO A NEW ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE WHICH HAS RESULTED IN THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM, I ACCELERATED AS MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME AND THE SHIFT GEAR WAS IN PARK. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER . POSSIBLE NEW RECALL. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER INCIDENTS LISTED ON THE HONDA MALFUNCTIONS COMPLAINT PAGE UNDER 2007 HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS, CARS BEING TOTALED AND WHAT RECOURSE DO WE HAVE AS CONSUMERS? OBVIOUSLY STATE FARM ISN'T GOING TO PURSUE IT WITH HONDA JUST CHARGE TO ME AS AN ACCIDENT AND PROBABLY DROP ME AND RAISE MY RATES SKY HIGH. I NEED HELP ON HOW TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER. $10,000 DAMAGE TO MY HOUSE, CAR TOTALED @ $18,000+, AND $19,000+ DAMAGE TO MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. LUCKILY NO CHILDREN WERE OUT AND NO DEATHS OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS. THE ONLY AIR BAG THAT DEPLOYED WERE THE SIDE CURTAINS NOT THE DRIVER'S SIDE EITHER. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A RECURRING FAILURE WITH THE S.R.S. MODULE IN A 2000 HONDA ACCORD THE MODULE WAS REPLACED A 28,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 75,000 MILES THE WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN AT ABOUT 82,000 MILES. SEEMS THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THIS MODULE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC, I HAVE REPLACED 2 SUN VISORS SO FAR AND TODAY THE DRIVER SIDE BROKE AND THE PASSENGERS IS ABOUT TO FAIL DUE TO THE NOISE IT MAKES, I SAW THE VERY PROBLEMS ON U-TUBES, THAT IS MY PROBLEM. I HAVE TO REMOVE IT BECAUSE IT KEEPS FALLING DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW BUT HAVE NO PROTECTION FROM SUN GLARE WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHICH ALMOST HAPPENED LAST YEAR WHEN IT FAILED, I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT IS RIDICULOUS I HAVE TO REPLACE THE SUN-VISOR EVERY YEAR. *TR

2003 HONDA CRV TOTAL AC FAILURE AND CONTAMINATION CAUSED BY COMPRESSOR FAILURE. REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 30,000 MILES. OCCURRED AGAIN AT 55,000 MILES. THE SECOND MOST RECENT TIME CAME WITH A LOUD BANG AND SOUND OF LOSS OF PARTS. DID NOT NOTICE ITEMS ON GROUND AFTER GOING BACK, BUT THERE WAS A GREAT AMOUNT OF GREEN SLIPPERY FLUID WHICH WAS RELEASED. I ASSUME THAT TO BE THE OIL FROM THE COMPRESSOR. ALSO WOULD ASSUME IT SPILLED ONTO ROADWAY. *TR
