2001 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TAKATA RECALL...I GOT A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL...I WENT TO THE DEALER AND HAD IT FIXED. IT WAS THE SRS RED LIGHT. HOWEVER, THE SRS REDLIGHT STILL CAME ON AFTER IT WAS FIXED. WHEN I MENTIONED THAT TO THE REPRESENTATIVE HE SAID:" THE SRS LIGHT SERVES SEVERAL PURPOSES. NOT ONLY SRS, BUT ALSO SEAT RESTRAINTS.AND SEVERAL OTHERS. IF WE WANT TO DETERMINE THAT, IT IS AN EXTRA CHARGE OF $ 150.00 PLUS PARTS". I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS RIGHT. THE WARNING LIGHT CLEARLY SAYS "SRS". YOUR COMMENTS PLEASE.

IGNITION SWITCH SHOULD PREVENT THE DRIVER FROM RETRIEVING THE KEY WHILE SHIFT LEVER IS IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN PARKING. THIS FAILURE ALLOWS THE DRIVER TO RETRIEVE THE KEY WHILE THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN ANY POSITION THEREFORE ALLOWING THE CAR TO ROLL DOWN IF PARKED IN A SLOPE AND HIT PEOPLE OR OTHER CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE CONTACT'S WIFE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS AND ALMOST RAN OVER THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ARROW HEAD HONDA (8380 W BELL RD, PEORIA, AZ 85382, (623) 562-9054) STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT SERVICE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,632.

TAKARA RECALL. IT WAS IN MOTION DOWN CAMPWISDOM RD IN DALLAS TX 75249 HEADING TOWARDS CEDAR RIDGE RD. LAST PART I REMEMBER IS STOP SIGN BY THE NATURE SCHOOL. I HAD JUST LEFT MY PARENTS .

I LOOKED DOWN AT THE SPEEDOMETER WHICH READ 35 MPHTILL IT WAS LIKE 3 HOURS LATER AND EVERYTHING JUST FADED IN AND WAS IN A CAR WITH MY DAD IN PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN I BECAME AWARE THE NEXT DAY I TRIED TO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AND I HAD OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE SAW MYSELF WALKING DOWN THE ROAD JUST ABOVE IT AND WHAT WE DEPICT AS JESUS POINTING AT ME WALKING THEN I CAME TO IN CAR WITH MY DAD.WENT BACK TO LOOK AT VEHICLE IT HIT A TREE IN FRONT AND THE SIDE. IT WAS MISSING A TIRE FROM DRIVER SIDE REAR. AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AT ALL AS SHOULD HAVE. IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CURVE FROM WHAT I CAN TELL AND TIRE POPPED OFF THE RIM. THIS WAS IN 2013. NO ONE WAS WITH ME BUT ONE PERSON WITNESSED IT AND DURING MY UNAWARE PERIOD LET ME USE THEIR PHONE TO CALL MY DAD. THEY WORKED AS RECEPTIONIST AT WYCLIFFE LINGUISTICS CENTER. I MIGHT BE WRONG ON DATE BUT YEAR IS CORRECT I CAN FIND OUT WHAT DAY AND MONTH FOR SURE LATER ON BECAUSE I HAD WORK DONE ON IT AT MOTION AUTO MY DAD PAID FOR IT WAS A DOOR WINDSHIELD HAD TO BEND FRAME BACK AS BEST AS COULD I ALSO SOLD THIS CAR LATER THAT YEAR WHICH I BELIEVE HE JUNKED IT.

TAMARA RECALL MY SON WAS KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN HIS 2001 HONDA ACCORD. HIS INJURIES WERE RUPTURED LIVER AND SPLEEN HE WAS IN EMERGENCY SURGERY FOR 6 HOURS BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY. THE INSIDE OF HIS CAR WASN'T DAMAGED THAT MUCH. IT SEEMS TO ME TO SUSTAIN THOSE INJURIES WERE PROBABLY THE AIR BAG DIDN'T INFLAT PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT SWERVED TO AVOID ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO A FIRE HYDRANT. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BROKEN BONES TO THE CHEST AND RIGHT KNEE, AND INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HEAD. THE CONTACT WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR OVER SIX MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO A SALVAGE LOT. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

UPON INSPECTION BY A GARAGE, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE A/C DRAINS INTO FRONT CROSSMEMBER/ SUBFRAME, CAUSING ACCELERATED LOSS OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY BY RAPID OXIDATION.

SRS LIGHT STAYS ON, IT IS APPARENT FROM GOOGLING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM, THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION ON TURNING OFF THE SRS LIGHT, BUT I FEEL THAT'S UNSAFE.

RIGHT SIDE OF SUBFRAME IS RUSTED TO THE POINT WHERE THERE IS A 6" GAP, THE DAMAGE SEEMS TO BE DIRECTLY UNDER A/C DRAIN HOSE, I NOTICED THIS WHEN REPLACING BRAKES.
