2001 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

SRS INDICATOR LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS IS A HONDA ACCORD V6 WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. TO GET IT DIAGNOSED IT IS $100.00. *AK

OWNER WAS DRIVING AT 25 MPH AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, AND ELECTRICAL PORTION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED LESS THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ALSO, CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. *AK *BF *NM

PETITION REQUEST DP 04 006/ IGNITION PARK INTERLOCK: CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED.*AK *NM

AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE SRS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ,AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. CONSUMER ANTICIPATED THE AIR BAGS MAY DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY WHILE DRIVING OR NOT DEPLOY IN A VEHICLE CRASH.*AK

AROUND 55,000 MILES VEHICLE DEVELOPED AN ABNORMAL MUFFLED KNOCKING SOUND ON RIGHT FRONT CORNER AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30MPH. GOT PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER AS MILES WORE ON. HONDA DEALER BLAMED IT ON A RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING AND I HAD IT REPLACED. SOUND WAS STILL THERE. HAD AN INDEPENDENT SHOP LIFT THE CAR UP AND RUN IT TO DETERMINE MECHANICAL CLACKING SOUNDS CAME FROM AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. FINALLY CONVINCED HONDA DEALER IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS WARRANTIED. SCARY THAT THE DEALER REPRESENTING THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DIAGNOSE A SERIOUS DEFECT LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WITH ALL OTHER ACCORDS OF DIFFERENT YEARS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HONDA HAS SOME SERIOUS QUALITY ISSUES. *AK

HONDA ACCORD 2001, NOISE FROM A/C AND "MAINTENANCE" LIGHT WOULD ALSO FLICKER. *BF THE LIGHT BULB BEHIND THE DIGITAL CLOCK WAS REPLACED, THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD ILLUMINATE, WHEN THIS OCCURRED ALL THE GAUGES WOULD DROP TO ZERO FOR A FEW SECONDS. *JB

AT TIMES VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING. WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO START THE IGNITION IT WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES TO START WHETHER IN COLD OR WARM TEMPERATURES. THE CAUSE OF WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING WAS UNDETERMINED.*AK

THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN THE PASSENGER RIGHT TIRE WENT OVER A POT HOLE CAUSING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY CONSUMER. *NM

PURCHASED A CERTIFIED 2001 HONDA ACCORD V-6 SEDAN 3.0 IN JULY 2004 W/ 42,000 MILES AT 55,000 I NEEDED NEW REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS. THE BRAKE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. PER THE DEALER THE ROTORS WERE ALREADY TURNED SO, I GOT NEW ROTORS. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR FROM THE DEALER THE CAR IS STILL MAKING A SQUEAKING SOUNDS AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM OR BRAKES. TO THIS DATE THE CAR IS STILL SQUEAKING WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. ALSO NOTE THAT WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE BACK BRAKES WERE ALREADY WORN 10 PERCENT BUT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE STILL BRAND NEW??????? THIS IS A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE WHICH 70 PERCENT OF THE BRAKING IS APPLIED IN THE FRONT AND APPROX 30 PERCENT IS APPLIED IN THE REAR SO WHY DO I NEED BRAKES AND ROTORS IN THE REAR BEFORE THE FRONT. AND THE FRONT BRAKES ARE STILL AS BRAND NEW ..MAKES YOU WONDER IF THE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM IS WORKING OR NOT? *NM

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD VEHICLE RAN OVER A POT HOLE AND THE SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY. *AK
