2002 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL IN MARCH 2005 ON THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD FOR IGNITION PARK INTERLOCK. I CHECKED THE CAR BY LEAVING IT IN DRIVE, TURNED OFF ENGINE AND REMOVED KEY - CAR THEN BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THIS IS WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. SINCE THE VIN NUMBERS DIDN'T MATCH WHAT HONDA DETERMINED TO BE FAULTY, THEY NOW SAY THAT IT ISN'T THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. I AM CONFUSED HOW THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SOME CARS BUT NOT OURS. BECAUSE IT WASN'T LISTED WITHIN THE RANGE OF VIN NUMBERS ACCORDING TO HONDA? SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED, THE ENGINE BLOCK IS VERY CRACKED, WHICH CAUSED THE RADIATOR TO GET OIL ALL IN IT. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WELL WAS CORRODED AND THE FRONT SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000.

TAKADA INFLATORS. MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD HAS HAD 2 RECALLS ON THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR OR AIRBAG. THE SRS LIGHT IS ON ALL OF THE TIME. I EXPLAINED THAT THE LIGHT USED TO COME ON AND GO OFF WHEN IT WAS VERY HUMID OR HAD RAINED. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF THAT, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. I ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY WOULD CONTACT HONDA AND ASK IF THEY COULD REPLACE BOTH AIRBAGS OR INFLATORS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT SINCE IT HADN'T BEEN A PART OF THE RECALL. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR/BAG AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH THE SRS LIGHT STILL ON. RECENTLY I HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. ONCE AGAIN I REQUESTED THAT THEY CONTACT HONDA TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE SINCE THE SRS LIGHT IS STILL ON. ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THEY WOULDN'T DO SO AS IT ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THE INJURIES AND DEATHS RELATED TO THE SRS/INFLATORS, WHY WOULDN'T THEY INVESTIGATE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS? I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO SO MYSELF. THEN THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME HE'D NOTE IN THE HISTORY THAT I "REFUSED TO FIX IT". I WENT AHEAD AND SCHEDULED A TIME TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. AFTER I GOT OFF THE PHONE, IT REALLY MADE ME MAD THE WAY THE DEALER IMPLIED THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM AND NOTE THE HISTORY. SO, I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL NUMBER BACK AND ASKED THEM TO NOTE ON THE HISTORY OF MY CAR THAT I INFORMED HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SRS LIGHT AND THEY CHOSE TO NOT EVEN LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. I'M WRITING THIS TO PUT HONDA ON NOTICE THAT I HAVE NOTIFIED THEM OF THE SRS PROBLEM AND REQUESTED THAT THEY FIX IT UNDER THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD "NO" TWICE! A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET MAKES IT OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO HONDA'S ATTENTION AND THEY CHOSE TO IGNORE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS MAKING A U-TURN, IT WAS STRUCK HEAD ON BY A TRUCK. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, SHOULDER, BACK, AND FEET. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000. UPDATED 05/18/16*LJ *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS GIVEN ME A PROBLEM ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2011. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE MUFFLER FIXED TWICE JUST RECENTLY MARCH 22,2016 COST WAS $422 AND PRIOR IN 2014.. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT JUST KEEPS COMING ON ,AND THE VEHICLE INSPECTION IS FAILING BECAUSE OF EMISSIONS. I AM FEARFUL THAT ODORLESS GASSES ARE SEEPING INTO THE CAR WHICH IS A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND PASSANGERS

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNED A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER PERFORMED A RECALL REPAIR ON THE VEHICLE PERTAINING TO THE AIR BAGS; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT FULLY DEPLOY AFTER THE REPAIR. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS PUSHED OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION AND WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND ONLY THE RIGHT SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A BROKEN NECK THAT REQUIRED INTENSIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A YARD AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE IF THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT FULLY DEPLOY. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL, HEAD ON COLLISION ON HIGHWAY, THE AIRBAG DASH OPENED UP, AIRBAG CANISTER/INFLATOR SHOT OUT WITH AIRBAG HITTING ME IN CHEST FRACTURED STERNUM. RE:10795239.

MY CAR IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS STOPPED ON HIGHWAYS, BUSY INTERSECTIONS, DAYTIME-NIGHTIME. HONDA DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS OTHER REPAIR SHOPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THEIR ELECTRICAL TESTS. THEY TEST DRIVE AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. THE CAR WILL GO 2 -3 BETWEEN OCCURENCES, BUT IT HAPPENS. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED. PRESENTLY, THE CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AT 125,000 MILEAGE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAPPENS TO OTHER HONDAS. IF THIS IS TRUE, THIS WARRANTS A RECALL. THE HOOD ON MY ACCORD DOES NOT CLOSE. THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
