2003 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

SRS WARNING LIGHT IS ON CONTINUOUSLY. INDEPEND SHOP SAYS ERROR CODE IS FOR DRIVER FRONT SEAT BELT LATCH SENSOR. HONDA DEALERS SAYS SENSOR IS NOT PART OF LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR SEAT BELTS, EVEN THOUGH SENSOR IS FULLY INTEGRATE WITH SEAT BELT LATCH, AND PART OF THE VITAL SAFETY SYSTEM. INDEPENDENT SHOP IS RELUCTANT TO REPAIR FOR LIABILITY AND HONDA DEALER WANT HUGE PAYMENT FOR SIMPLE REPAIR. IT IS UNFAIR AND UNETHICAL FOR DEALER AND MANUFACTURER TO NOT HONOR THERE PRINTED WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND LOST POWER. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAULT CODE WAS NOT RETRIEVED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN MOTION AND ALSO ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA FOR A RECALL REPAIR BECAUSE MY CAR INSPECTION INDICATED THAT MY VEHICLE HAS THREE DANGEROUS SAFETY RECALLS. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND A FAMILY TO SUPPORT BUT I AM AFRAID, BECAUSE OF THE FIRE HAZARD THAT ONE OF MY RECALLS CONTAINS, TO EVEN DRIVE THE CAR WITH MY FAMILY IN IT TO FOOD SHOPPING AND WORK.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION 1 QUART ALMOST EVERY 300 MILES. THERE ARE A LOT OF FORUMS ONLINE WITH MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE THAT EXPLAIN OIL CONTROL RINGS ON THE 2.4L ENGINES GO BAD AROUND 80K MILES. THIS AFFECTS THE 2003-2007 MODELS

THE CAR HAS AN EXISTING RECALL TO GET THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE REPLACED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DARLINGS HONDA OF BANGOR, ME, ON 8/15/2020 AND THEY REFUSED TO DO THE REPAIR BECAUSE WE REFUSED TO PAY FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS NOT REQUESTED. WE WERE FORCED TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK HOME, ABOUT 100 MILES WITH THE RISK OF THE CAR CATCHING FIRE, FROM THE POWER STEERING HOSE LEAK.

SUDDENLY DRIVING IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. I PUT POWER STEERING FLUID IN AND I AM STILL NOT ABLE TO TURN MY SHEEN. AT TIMES I CAN'T GET INTO PARKING SPOTS BECAUSE IT'S EXTREMELY HARD. A NUMBER OF MECHANICS TOLD ME I SHOULD TRY DISPUTING WITH THE DEALERSHIP.

CAR WON'T START EVEN WITH THE KEY IN IT. DIDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOW ON. PRIOR TO BRINGING THE CAR TO HONDA ACCORD DEALER FOR THE OTHER RECALLS NONE OF THIS WAS A PROBLEM. NOW MY CAR MAKES A SOUND WHILE I'M DRIVING LIKE A RATTLE SOUND ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON. THE OTHER DAY I STARTED THE CAR AND ONLY THE LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE TURNS ON BUT THE CAR ENGINE WON'T START. IT'S PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM NOW THAT I BROUGHT IT TO THEM FOR RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY DRIVEN TO WORK AND BACK FROM THE TIME I TOOK IT TO THEM. THEN I HEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN THE CAR WOULDN'T START, AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I TOOK IT TO THEM AND THEY WORKED ON 4 THINGS ACCORDING TO THE RECALL HOWEVER MORE THINGS SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM AND THEY DIDN'T DO ALL THAT. *TR

AFTER TAKING CAR INTO CROWN SOUTHPOINT HONDA IN DURHAM, NC ON SEPT. 30 2019 FOR A RECALL ON AIRBAG AND COUPE PAB INSPECTION,NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. 17024. NOW I'M BEING TOLD I WILL BE CHARGED FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN SEPT. 2019 WITH 68,000 ORIGINAL MILES, INSPECTED AT WASP AUTOMOTIVE AND HAS NO MECHANICAL OR ELECTRIC ISSUES. SO WHATEVER THE DEALER DID CONTRIBUTED TO THIS PROBLEM.

MY AIRBAGS WERE RECALLED TWICE, THEN THE SENSOR. NOW MY TRANSMISSION WEN AT 82,000 MILES. WHEN HONDA DISAGNOSED THE CAR BEFORE FIXING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR, THE CODE 61.10 CAME UP - MY AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUALLY GOES ON AND OFF. HONDAY REFUSES TO FIX THE SEATBLET ISSUE THAT IS AFFECTING THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DRIVER'S SIDE. I ALREADY HAD FIVE NECK SURGERIES FORM MY 1990 LEXUS 250 ES THE MOST DANGEROUS OF ALL AIRBAGS. HONDA REFUSES TO REPAIR THE SEAT BEAT THAT IS AFFECTING THE AIRBAG AND AIRBAG LIGHTS. HELP
