2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

MY SRS LIGHT IS ON IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. *TR

2000 ACCORD SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND DEALER REFUSED TO FIX THE VEHICLE. CUSTOMER STATES HONDA SHOULD FIX HIS VEHICLE WITH NO CHARGE SINCE HE WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS. *KB THE CONSUMER LEARNED THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 WHICH EVER CAME FIRST, HOWEVER THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE HAS EXCEEDED THE 150,000 MARK. *JB

SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINS ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO COMES ON AND FLASHES OFF WHILE DRIVING. CAR WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE SRS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY BATTERY AND CABLE. SEARS INSPECTED THE BATTERY AND FOUND NO FAILURES. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A SHORT IN THE BOARD. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND NUMBER OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 79,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 01/11/08. *LJ THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED*JB

I OWN A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX-V6. MY SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT RESET BY THE DEALER, AND IT COST ME $100. THEY ALSO CLAIMED IT WAS MY FRONT IMPACT SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN BUMPED OR HAD AN ACCIDENT SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT, SO I FAIL TO SEE HOW THAT COULD BREAK. NOW, THE SECOND TIME, THE SRS LIGHT HAS AGAIN COME ON AND HAS BEEN ON MY DASH FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT I WILL NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONAL DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IF EVER I AM HIT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SRS LIGHT SITUATION ON YOUR SITE AND MANY OTHERS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM WARRANTS A RECALL, AS THE DEALER IS SET TO CHARGE ME CLOSE TO $400 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AND STILL CANNOT GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE LONG-TERM. SINCE THIS IS SO PREVALENT, WHY IS THIS NOT A PRIORITY??? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR SOME SORT OF CAMPAIGN, BECAUSE FRANKLY, MANY OF US FEEL VERY UNSAFE. *JB UPDATED 01/02/08. *LJ UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

I OWNED A HONDA ACCORD 2000 EX MODEL. WE BOUGHT FROM DEALER AS NEW.5 YEARS AGO, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK TO THE DEALER IN ATLANTA GEORGIA (BEFORE WE MOVED TO CALIFORNIA), THEIR SERVICE ATTITUDE WAS EXTREMELY BAD. AND TOLD US THAT WE NEED TO PAID FOR OUR DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND COULD COST US $1,500 TO FIX IT I WAS EXTREMELY MAD AND CALLED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE IN TORRANCE. THEY WERE VERY BAD TOO. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. THE SERVICE WAS OUTRAGEOUS BAD. THE SRS CONCERN THE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG AND SHOULD BE A LIFETIME WARRANTY. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT SO MANY HONDA ACCORD OWNERS HAVE THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. WE SUGGEST NHTS MAKE THIS CASE WITH HONDA AND ASK THEM TO PUT THIS ISSUE AS LIFETIME WARRANTY HONDA NORTH AMERICA IS VERY BAD. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX-V6 COUPE AND FOR ABOUT ABOUT A WEEK NOW THE SRS LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT. I CONTACTED HONDA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A RECALL AND WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER AFTER 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES (WHICH EVER CAME FIRST) I HAVE 188,000 ON MY CAR SO I DID SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND WAS STUNNED TO FIND SO MANY PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION TO GET THE SRS LIGHT OFF. SO IF I AM IN A ACCIDENT WILL THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY? I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD FIND OUT BEFORE A DEATH RESULTS FROM THIS ISSUE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD DEFINITELY BE LOOKED INTO. PLEASE DO A LITTLE RESEARCH AND REQUIRE HONDA TO DO A RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE BASKET WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 120,000. UPDATED 09/18/07 *TR

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE V4 AUTO HAS THE MILEAGE OF 86,000. NO ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING. OUT OF NOWHERE, SRS LIGHT STAYED ON. I HAVE NOTHING ON OR AROUND THE PASSAGE SEAT. THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE SIDE AIRBAGS. IT BOTHERS ME A LOT BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERN. I CALLED HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY'D NEED THE CAR DURING WEEKDAY FOR A WHOLE DAY TO DIAGNOSE, AND COST WOULD BE FROM $150.00 AND UP. SKY IS THE LIMIT. BESIDES, I CAN'T GO TO WORK WITHOUT THE CAR OR I HAVE TO RENT A CAR MYSELF. WHAT A HASSLE. I AM NOT SURE IF HONDA WARRANTY COVERS SRS LIGHT. I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET JUST TO FIND OUT THAT I AM NOT ALONE. *JB

WITHOUT ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND DEALER WOULD NOT EVEN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT A SUBSTANTIAL PAYMENT. I'VE READ ON THE WEB THAT MANY HONDA USERS EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AROUND 100K MILES. AIR BAGS ARE FEDERALLY MANDATED SAFETY EQUIPMENT LIKE SEATBELTS. SEATBELTS ARE COVERED BY LIFE-TIME WARRANTY AND SO SHOULD BE THE AIR BAGS. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR FAILURES OF LIFE-SAVING EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR OR ACCIDENT. *TR
