2002 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER LOCK ACTIVATOR MALFUNCTIONED. THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK CONTINUOUSLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS CHANGING SOME UNRELATED PARTS ON MY CAR WHEN I REALIZED MY PASSENGER SIDE SUB FRAME REAR BEAM WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH WHILE THE DRIVER SIDE IS FINE. IF THIS WOULD SNAP IT COULD POSE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE REALIZED THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS GENERATION OF ACCORD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS MOISTURE DRIPPING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER CAUSING THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SUB FRAME TO RUST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TRANSMISSION JERKS VIOLENTLY COMING TO A STOP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BRAKE IMPROPERLY. FROM A DEAD STOP TO NORMAL SPEED, VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SLIPS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR CAUSING VEHICLE TO SLOW UNEXPECTEDLY AND CARS BEHIND TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES. NHTSA NEEDS TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION AND WORK WITH HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

SRS AND AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHTS APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST, NOW STAYS ON CONSTANTLY, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH HONDA FOR MANY YEARS AND IGNORED, MY CAR HAS MORE MILES AND AGE AND THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSISTANCE DECLINE TO COVER WITH A WARRANTY OR SAFETY RECALL. THE HONDA DEALER WANTS MEGABUCKS TO DIAGNOSE AND REPLACE SENSORS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT NOW DEPLOY CORRECTLY OR AT ALL AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND LIABILITY FOR MY WIFE AND/OR CHILDREN/PASSENGERS FROM THIS DEFECT IN THE EVENT OF AN COLLISION. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO FIX AND MAKE THEIR PRODUCT SAFE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V351000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I SLOWED DOWN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND MY CAR WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR WHO FAILED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND/OR MAY HAVE HIT THE GAS PEDAL INSTEAD OF THE BRAKES. THE CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS AS THE CAR CHASSIS SEEMS TO BE CRUMPLED. WHAT I FIND VERY SURPRISING IS THAT NEITHER THE SEAT BELTS TIGHTEN NOR THE AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED DESPITE BEING HIT SO HARD. I WAS WONDERING WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE REASON AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SO THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH ANYONE ELSE. *TR

CAR WAS HEADED WEST IN THE LEFT LANE OF A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. A BIG SUV HEADED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WAS TURNING TO THE LEFT. HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GO AND STOPPED RIGHT IN MY LANE. MY CAR HIT HERS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN WE CRASHED, BOTH OF MY AIR BAGS EXPLODED. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE BECAUSE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE BAGS. MY RIGHT ARM AND HAND SWELLED UP SO BIG AND IS STILL PAINFUL. I THINK THERE MUST BE MEDAL EMBEDDED IN MY ARM. BLOOD WAS GUSHING FROM MY ARM AND RIGHT KNEE. THE INCH GASH IN MY RIGHT KNEE WAS ON TOP OF MY TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT. THIS HAD TO BE STITCHED UP. I HAD CONTUSIONS ON MY CHEST, ARM AND LEFT KNEE. MY RIBS AND STERNUM WERE BRUISED BADLY. MY RIGHT ANKLE WAS FRACTURED. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO EMERGENCY AND STAYED UNTIL JUNE 26, 2014. I WAS ORDERED TO PUT NO WEIGHT ON MY RIGHT LEG AND WAS TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO A MEDICAL REHABILITATION CENTER. BEFORE MY RELEASE FROM THERE, I DEVELOPED PNEUMONIA AND COULD NOT LEAVE UNTIL JULY 14, 2014. I STILL HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY ON MY LEFT KNEE FOR TORN MENISCUS. THAT SURGERY IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 9, 2014. MY BACK WAS FRACTURED ALSO; HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT SCHEDULED THAT SURGERY AS OF YET.......UPDATED 09-03-14 *BF UPDATED 11/26/2014 *JS

PULLING AWAY FROM AN INTERSECTION (STOP SIGN) VEHICLE HESITATED DUE TO TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE CAUSING VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AND IMPEDE TRAFFIC IN THE INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AT BOTH INTERSECTIONS AND HIGHWAY ON-RAMPS. *TR

THE MIDDLE OF MY STEERING WHEEL OR WHERE MY AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY IS STICKY AND THE VINYL HAS LOST ITS INTEGRITY. MY CENTER CONSOLE UNDER THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED TO THE POINT I HAVE HAD TO COVER IT WITH FELT BECAUSE EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT. IT'S LIKE TAR. APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO, I CALLED HONDA AND SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE WHO TOLD ME SHE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM, AND THAT UNFORTUNATELY I WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. SHE WOULD MAKE NOTE OF IT. I WAS TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT. MAYBE THEY WOULD HAVE A CLEANER TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. KNOWING THERE WOULD BE NO CLEANER IN THE WORLD TO GET RID OF THE GOO, I DID NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I DID, HOWEVER, JUST RECENTLY SEE A SEGMENT ON OUR LOCAL NEWS FEATURING 'MELTING DASHBOARDS" WHICH DESCRIBED MY PROBLEM. MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT. I LIVED IN NEW JERSEY AND MOVED TO FLORIDA IN 2006. *TR
