2001 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

Car shifts really hard and rough out of first gear. Ive driven many many accords from working at auctions, Ive owned two in my entire life and they ALL have shift problems. I can’t believe this isn’t a campaign already????!!!!! These trannys are NOTORIOUS for going out. Please if there’s some sort of bulletin or something i missed let me know lol! (Wishful thinking)

I AM WRITING TO YOU IN REGARDS TO A SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE ENGINE SUBFRAME OF MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD LX HAS 1/4 ENGINE CONNECTIONS ROTTED THROUGH. THIS IS LOCATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE STRUT ASSEMBLY, BENEATH THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN, AS NOTED BY OTHERS ON POSTING ON THE INTERNET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHERWISE, ESPECIALLY WITH VERY LOW MILES (156,000) THERE IS VERY LITTLE RUST ON THE VEHICLE CONSIDERING IT'S AGE. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HE WRITES: 'DURING DEGREASING (AND REPAIR OF RADIATOR) FOUND ENGINE SUB-FRAME RUSTING OUT AND COMING APART. ADVISED CLIENT THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY RISK TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION'. IT APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF A DESIGN FLAW RELATING TO THE LOCATION OF THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW AND HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO REPAIR THIS UNSAFE SITUATION. I AM SHOCKED THIS CATASTROPHIC SAFETY CONDITION WAS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT WARNING BY HONDA AND/OR THE NHTSA!!

I TOOK IT TO OREILYS TO READ THE OBD AND THE GUY TOLD ME MY ECU WAS WIPED. MY IDENTITY HAS ALSO BEEN STOLEN AND THESE GANG OF PEOPLE WHO IMPERSONATE ME HAVE DONE THIS, AT AN EARLIER TIME 8/19 MY KEYS WERE STOLEN FROM MY ROOMMATE AND I REPORTED IT BECAUSE THEY GOT TICKETS IN MY NAME. ANYHOW I HAVE TO PUSH START MY CAR TO OVERRIDE THE FACT THAT THERES NO DATA TO TELL MY CAR WHAT TO DO AND MY KEY IS ALSO INVALID AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT. WAS HOPING THERE WAS A WAY YOU COULD GET INFO ON WHO DID THIS AND ACCESSED THE INFO?? OR IF I AM COVERED UNDER THE PRIVACY ACT?? [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

HOLA EL PROBLEMA CON MI HONDA ACCORD 2001 ES QUE LO COMPRE EN CON DUEO PARTICULAR Y AHORA ME DOY CUENTA QUE NO TRAE BOLSAS DE AIRE DEL CONDUCTOR Y PASAJERO NECESITO AYUDA CON ESO.

HONDA ACCORD 2001 4-DR SAB: PASSENGER SIDE REAR FRONT ENGINE SUPPORT COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY DUE TO AC LEAK. DRIVER SIDE REAR FRONT SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY FINE, NO RUST. MECHANIC SAID CAR IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE UNLESS I INVEST IN NEW SUBFRAME FOR OVER $1,200. MY CAR ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED FOR CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE AC LEAKAGE. I HAVE FOUND MANY FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM INCLUDING THE ARTICLE 'CENTER FOR AUTO SAFETY REQUESTING RECALL OF 1.5 MILLION HONDA ACCORDS FOR RUST ISSUE IN SUB- FRAME AND HONDA ACCORDS FOUND WITH SUB-FRAMES RUSTED OUT BY THE NHOU. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED DRIVING THIS CAR WHILE I WORKED AS A FOOD DELIVERY DRIVER FOR GRUBHUB. I DESERVE COMPENSATION, MY PASSENGER SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND HANGING BY A THREAD WHEREAS MY DRIVER SIDE SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY FINE. THAT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

FFRONT SUB FRAME IS RUSTING AWAY. WAS GETTING A QUOTE FROM YPSILANTI HONDA DEALER FOR BALL JOINTS/BRAKES AND WAS INFORMED THE ENTIRE FRONT SUB FRAME IS ROTTING AWAY. THIS DEALER QUOTE IS $1633 JUST FOR SUB FRAME. CAR IS IN MINT CONDITION WITH 100000 MILES. HAD A AC LEAK WHICH WAS RECHARGED. CAR WAS MY SON`S COLLEGE STUDENT CAR AND IS A GRAVE SAFETY CONCERN.

THE CONTACT STATED DOES NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY WARNING LIGHT THAT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES ON HIS NECK BUT DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HER RESIDENCE. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER DEEMED THE VEHICLE WAS LOSS. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR FRONT ENGINE SUPPORT IS RUSTING AWAY DUE TO A AC LEAK MY CAR WAS BOUGHT LAST YEAR EVERYTHING WAS FINE DUE TO HOT SUMMERS AND SALTY WET WINTERS WHEN THIS SUMMER CAME MY CARS FRAME WHERE THE FRONT SUPPORT MEATS THE BACK END AND WHERE THE ENGINE MOUNT IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY DUES TO THE YEARS OF THE AC LEAKING DIRECTLY ONTO THE FRAME WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE INFO WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME THAT HONDA WITH THE YEARS 98-02 HAD THIS PROBLEM MY FRAME HAS NOW COMPLETELY BROKEN AND IS HANGING BY A THREAD THIS I'D A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IF I'M DRIVING AND THE FRAME BREAKS IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUSLY INJURY OR DEATH I NOTICED THE NOISE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND WHEN INSPECTION THE VEHICLE AND DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON THING AND DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE TO FIX THE MISTAKE HONDA MADE HAVING A LEAK THAT DROPS DIRECTLY ONTO THE FRAME AFTER 19 YEARS OF THAT HAPPENING THE CAR IS FINALLY BREAKING DOWN BECAUSE OF IT

SRS LIGHT IS ON, IT WENT OFF AND AGAIN IS ON, MY AUTO MANUAL INDICATES AIRBAGS/TENSIONER SYSTEMS NEEDS ATTENTION. THIS IS A VERY SEIOUS PROBLEM THAT I CANT MANAGE WITHOUT HONDA OFFCICIAL AUTHORIZED CHECK. MY MANUAL INDICATES A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR THIS KIND OF ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM CAME WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND THE LIGHT STILL ON.
