2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

SRS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE STATIONARY AT HOME PARKED. I WENT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT HAS A 7-3 CODE FOR 'INTERNAL FAILURE'. THEY ADVISED ME TO PAY $1056 TO REPLACE COMPUTER. THEY SAID THIS ONLY COMES ON WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS WELL AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED. THEY TOLD ME MY AIRBAGS MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY. TWO YEARS AGO MY SRS LIGHT HAD CAM ON AND THEY SAID IT WAS FOR SEAT BELTS AND THEY COVERED IT. WHY WOULD THIS NOT BE COVERED AS WELL. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR OTHER PEOPLE WHEN I SEARCHED ON GOOGLE PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM.

RIGHT SIDE SUB-FRAME, REAR BEAM, K FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH FROM A/C DRAIN LINE INSTALLED TO DRAIN DIRECTLY ONTO THE SUBFRAME. THIS CAUSES THE STEERING TO FLEX SUBSTANTIALLY AND ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC COULD CAUSE THE CAR STEERING TO FAIL CATASTROPHICALLY OR COULD ALLOW THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR. ANTI-SWAY BAR IS COMPLETELY BROKEN AWAY FROM THE FRAME. FOUND BY MECHANIC CHECKING MY CAR TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING AND CORNERING.

I WAS DRIVING ON CITY WHEN I HEARD METAL NOISE FROM RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE I HAD IT CHECK ED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE K FRAME-SUBFRAME HAD RUSTED AND CRACKED ONLY ON PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM DUE THAT THE AC WAS DRIPPING WATER ON TOP OF IT IT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT

HONDA HAD THE MAIN BRAKE LINE WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID BURST CAUSING ACCIDENT. PUSHED ON BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO FLOOR AND DID NOT STOP. WAS WORKING FINE THE DAY BEFORE, PUMPING BRAKE PEDAL WAS USELESSS. CAR WAS HEADING FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE SO I DROVE OFF THE ROAD, SPEED WAS ABOUT 30MPH WHEN I ENDED IN A MEDIAN STRIP.

THE SRS SIGN IS ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT FROM ANOTHER PERSON, THERE WAS A HONDA ACCORD REP FEW DAYS BACK, AND HE SAID THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE FINE AND ARE IN WORKING CONDITION BUT STILL, SINCE ITS RELATED TO SAFETY, I DONT KNOW....IF ITS REALLY FINE AND ARE IN A WORKING CONDITION..

MY CAR PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME IS RUSTED OUT. I JUST REPLACED TIRES AND NOW THE CAR IS UNABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERN. I FOUND OUT THIS WHEN MY CAR WAS VIBRATE A LOT DURING ON THE ROAD. WHEN I COME HOME, I JACKED UP THE CAR AND INSPECTED THE WHEEL AND FRONT CHASSIS. I SAW THE RUST IS VERY BAD, IT CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICTURES I SUBMIT BELOW. THE SUBFRAME BASICALLY SEPARATED, IT WILL CAUSE ANOTHER THOUSAND OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE FRAME. MECHANICS TOLL ME THAT THE SUBFRAME SHOULD NOT BE RUST LIKE THAT. IT IS THE BASIC INTEGRITY OF THE CAR SAFETY FOR ANY CAR, IT SHOULD LAST A LIFE TIME OF THE CAR AS LONG AS YOU OWN IT. I AM HOPE THAT HONDA SHOULD RECALL THIS RUST ISSUE. IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO OWNED AN OLD CAR AND TRY TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD.

I BOUGHT A HONDA ACCORD FROM MY NIEGHBOOR FOR 900 DOLLARS AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE DID A INSPECTION AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME IS TOTALLY ROTTED OUT BUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS STILL INTACT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND REPLACEMENT COSTS OVER 1,200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE CAR HAS OVER 228,000 MILES ON IT BUT THE MECHANIC SAID THAT ITS HANGING ON BY A TREAD AND OVERTIME THE SUSPENSION COULD COLLAPSE LEADING TO A CRASH

TAKATA RECALL: DAUGHTER SUSTAINED A MEDICAL EMERGENCY WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEREIN SHE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS, HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER -- PRESUMABLY NOT AT A HIGH SPEED. DRIVER'S AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF BUT PASSENGER AIRBAG DID, DESPITE NO ONE, AND NOTHING, BEING IN THE SEAT. VIN IS NOT ON RECALL LIST (WHICH MYSTERIOUSLY ONLY GOES BACK TO MID-2001). CALLED HONDA MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT INSPECT CAR, AND DO NOT CARE TO INVESTIGATE ISSUE BECAUSE THE VIN IS NOT CURRENTLY ON THE RECALL LIST. IS THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FAULTY (SHOULD IT HAVE GONE OFF), OR WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE FAULTY (SHOULD IT NOT HAVE GONE OFF-- I WAS TOLD THE LATTER AT THE BODY SHOP)? THE CAR IS NOT WORTH FIXING GIVEN THE FACT THAT ONE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT ALONE COSTS APPROX A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME IS BADLY COMPROMISED BY RUST (SOME HOLES). PARTS OF THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING CAN BE COMPROMISED IS IT FAILS WHILE DRIVING. THE DRIVER SIDE IS NOT BADLY RUSTED. HONDA HAS RELOCATED THE AIR CONDITIONING DRIP TUBE IN LATER YEARS WHICH MIGHT BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM

PASSENGER SIDE REAR SUBFRAME RUSTED AND BROKE OFF I HEARD A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN THE STREET ON THE WAY TO WORK I TURNED THE CORNER AND HEARD A LOUD CLUNK SOUND AND GOT UNDER MY CAR AND LOOKED AND THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SUBFRAME IS BROKE OFF
