2001 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I OWN A 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX V6. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN MAKING A SCRUBBING SOUND WHEN I STOP. IT IS CONTINUOUSLY DOING THIS. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA PLACE AND THEY WERE TO BUSY TO CHECK THE BRAKES AND ROTORS I PAID 200$ DOLLARS. WHAT A RIPE OFF. GOING BACK AGAIN AND THEY WILL CHECK THE PROBLEM OR I AM CALLING AMERICAN HONDA. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. *TR

MY 2001 HONDA 4-CYL EX REPEATEDLY EXPERIENCES TRANSMISSION SLIPPING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DECELERATING AND RE-ACCELERATING (E.G., IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR WHEN DESCENDING ON A PARKING GARAGE RAMP AND THEN REACCELERATING ONCE ON THE PARKING LEVEL). SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE A NEUTRAL IDLE FOLLOWED BY SUDDEN LURCH, TO NO TRACTION AND A RACING OF THE MOTOR WHILE THE VEHICLE "HUNTS" FOR TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR BEFORE ENGAGING. SYMPTOM IS MOST FREQUENT DURING A DECELERATION BETWEEN SECOND AND FIRST GEARS. SYMPTOM FIRST STARTED AT ~100K MILES AND HAS GRADUALLY WORSENED (CAR NOW HAS ~118K MILES). I REPORTED THIS TO DEALER AND HONDA NATIONAL OFFICE; THEY DID "REPLICATE" THE SYMPTOM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OCCURS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION OVER TIME WHEN THE INTERNAL (NON-SERVICEABLE) TRANSMISSION FILTER STARTS TO CLOG AND STARVES 2ND GEAR OF FLUID DUE TO RESCUED FLOW CAN NOT SUFFICIENTLY LUBRICATE 2ND GEAR BECAUSE IT IS LOCATED HIGHER UP IN THE TRANSMISSION CASING COMPARED TO THE OTHER GEARS. HONDA?S RESPONSE: DUE TO THE FREQUENT NATURE OF THIS PROBLEM HONDA OFFERED A TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 100K MILES. I WAS NOT INFORMED BY HONDA OF THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION UNTIL MY CAR REACHED 118K MILES. HONDA SAID YOUR ONLY OPTION IS TO BUY A NEW HONDA OR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I SHOULD NOTE THAT THE NEW TRANSMISSION THAT WOULD BE PLACED IN THE CAR BY THE DEALER IS THE SAME FAULTY DESIGN WITH THE SAME FILTER CLOGGING 2ND GEAR FLUID STARVING ISSUES. HONDA OR A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

I OWN A 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 SEDAN. THE SRS LIGHT ON IT WENT ON A FEW MONTHS AGO. IT ALWAYS STAYED ON CAUSING THE RISK OF AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. AFTER DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH AND REPEATEDLY CHECKING FOR RECALLS, FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA VEHICLES. I FINALLY WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT FIXED. THEY MENTIONED THAT THE DRIVER SEATBELT BUCKLE WAS CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT AND IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUE, OR THE INFORMATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER COMMUNICATED TO THE CONSUMER. *TR
