2001 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* 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 CONTACT CRASHED THE VEHICLE INTO A TREE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THERE WERE METAL PIECES THAT CAME OUT OF THE AIR BAG.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS) AND BELIEVED THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM ASPEN HILL ROAD ONTO NORBECK ROAD IN MARYLAND WHEN MY STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO KEEP THE CAR FROM CRASHING. UPON STOPPING AND INSPECTING THE POWER STEERING FLUID, IT WAS EMPTY. I TRIED ADDING FLUID AND IT JUST LEAKED OUT ONTO THE GROUND FROM THE STEERING RACK. I CALLED A HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING RACK FAILED AND THAT IT WILL COST OVER $2000 TO REPAIR 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 COMPENSATED FOR BUYING A NEW CAR THAT DID NOT LIVE UP TO HONDA'S STANDARDS FROM DAY 1 ( FEBRUARY 14, 2001)...

I WAS T-BONED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND METAL LACERATED MY EYELID CAUSING A CATARACT AND PERMANENT PUPIL DAMAGE.

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.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DID NOT OPEN IN THE DASH DURING A ROLLOVER AND FRONT END HIT. DRIVER HAD HEAD INJURIES FROM THE ROLLOVER WHEN HIS HEAD HIT THE TOP OF THE CAR. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PUSHED BACK IN THE SEAT IF THE BAG WOULD HAVE WORKED. THE AIR BAGS ON THE SIDE OF THE FRONT SEATS DID OPEN. THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS. UPDATED 9/23/15*JS
