Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleJan 17, 2020
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.

I BOUGHT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD BRAND NEW. I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY IT SHIFTED ROUGH BUT I KEPT IT ANYWAY. IN 2003 AT 84000 MILES I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ON A BUSY DAY. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAD TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID IN IT. THEY CLEANED THE FILTER, AND SENT IT BACK. IT WAS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY MADE SOME ADJUSTMENT, AND IT RAN SOMEWHAT OKAY. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER IT BEGAN TO DO IT AGAIN. I TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE, AND THAT THE PREVIOUS YEAR THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED ON THE CAR. I WAS 2-3 THOUSAND MILES OVER THE EXTENSION AT THAT POINT. I KNEW THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD THE YEAR BEFORE. THE CAR WOULD NOT RUN RIGHT AFTER THAT. DEALER KNOWS THEY WERE IN THE WRONG AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE WITH ME. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING I CAN DO. I CAN'T AFFORD $4000.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION RIGHT NOW.

NOW IT'S 2005, AND I WAS ADVISED I NEED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT JERKS WHEN I ACCELERATE AND IT ALSO DELAYS WHEN GOING INTO GEAR (FEELS LIKE IT IN NEUTRAL WHEN I'M ACCELERATING).

HONDA REPLACED TRANSMISSION UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY IN MARCH OF 2005 AFTER REQUIRING ME TO SPEND A $100 BUCKS TO SERVICE THE OLD ONE PRIOR TO DIAGNOSTICS. REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION JERKS AND MAKES ALL KINDS OF NOISE WHEN PUT IN REVERSE AND HIT THE GAS. LOCAL HONDA DEALER (HUGHES HONDA IN WARNER ROBINS, GA) TRIES TO LINK IT TO THE SOME BRAKE PAD ALIGNMENT NON-SENSE IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET ANOTHER $130 OUT OF ME. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER TO CHANGE THE PADS WITH THE AGREEMENT BEING THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ABSORB THE COST IF THE TRANSMISSION NOISE WAS NOT FIXED. THEN THE PADS THEY JUST TOLD ME WERE WORN OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD TONS OF LIFE LEFT. THE CAR WITH THE SAME BRAKE COMPONENTS AND PADS DID NOT MAKE THE NOISE UNTIL AFTER THE NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED.

I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE 35 AND HAD TO REQUEST AAA COME TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP LUTE RILEY IN RICHARDSON. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED SAT BY THE TIME I GOT THERE SO MONDAY MORNING WHEN I WENT IN I HAD RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE SIXTH GENERATION ACCORDS. BUT I WAS INFORMED AT MIDDAY BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR SHAWN THAT I NEEDED TO PAY TO HAVE MY SOLENOIDS REPLACED SINCE THATS WHAT THE TECHNICIAN REPORTS AS THE PROBLEM SO ME BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT AND HEAVILY RELIANT ON MY TRANSPORTATION ESPECIALLY DURING FINALS WEEK PAID FOR IT. SURE ENOUGH COUPLE OF DAYS LATER SAME ISSUE WHERE THE CAR DIES AGAIN IN MY SCHOOL PARKING LOT AND I HAD IT TOWED ONCE AGAIN BY AAA OVER TO LUTE RILEY. THIS TIME WHEN I WENT IN ON THURSDAY MAY 6TH THEY SANG A DIFFERENT TUNE THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BY HONDA SO THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR FREE BUT WILL NEED TO KEEP IT FOR A WEEK WHILE THEY ORDER ONE. NOW MY ISSUE IS RETURNING THE $350 PLUS THAT I SPENT ON REPAIRING SOLENOIDS THAT WEREN'T IN NEED OF BEING REPLACED. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO HONDA'S CORPORATE HQ LIKE SO MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE ALREADY DONE. PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO HELP SAVE OTHER PEOPLE THIS HEADACHE AND POSSIBLE ENDANGERMENT OF LIFE WHEN A VEHICLE FAILS ON OUR HIGHWAYS! ADDITIONALLY I REQUEST THAT YOU INCLUDE HONDA'S RECALL\EXTENSION OF WARRANTY ON ALL 2000-2001 ACCORDS, ODDESSEYS, AND PRELUDES IN YOUR "SAFETY RECALL" SEARCH ENGINE (THIS IS OPEN INFORMATION ON HONDA'S HOMEPAGE BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE IN AS MANY PLACES POSSIBLE).

MY ACCORD DIES OUT ON WARM START UPS WHEN IT IS IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS. I ALSO CALLED HONDA USA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO NO MATTER HOW COLD IT WAS. I BROUGHT IT TO HONDA OF SF TWICE ALREADY, BUT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A FEW OF MY FRIENDS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ACCORDS. *CB

Power train, Electrical system, Air bags, Sep 30, 2003
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD VTEC V6. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE AIR BAG SYSTEMS HAVE SHUTDOWN INDICATED BY THE SRS LIGHT. NOW I AM STARTING TO HAVE ELECTRICAL FAILURES LEFT AND RIGHT. MAJORITY OF MY WARNING LLIGHTS ON, MY CONSOLE WHICH INCLUDE BATTERY, ALL DOORS, TRUNK, AND BRAKE LIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON. THE TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO SLIP. I DON'T KNOW IF I GOT A BAD HONDA FROM THE BATCH, BUT JUST BEING 2 YEARS OLD, IT IS EXPERIENCING SOME TOUGH PROBLEMS. I ALSO HAVE THE EXTENED HONDA PLAN UPTO 100,000 MILES/6 YRS.. BUT OF COURSE THE PLAN DOES NOT COVER ANY OF MY PROBLEMS. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO WASTE ON THE CAR THAT IS NEARLY NEW, AND I STILL OWE 23000 ON. PLEASE HELP.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS PROBLEMS STILL PERSIST. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES ALREADY. EACH TIME THERE IS A NEW OCCURRENCE OF PROBLEMS. FOR THIS LATEST TRANSMISSION WHEN DRIVING IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC AREAS WHERE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS GO TO THE NEXT GEAR, IT WILL "LAG" AND FALL BACK TO THE LOWER GEAR AS IF THE BRAKE WAS BEING APPLIED VERY HARD. TOOK THE CAR TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE "TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING THROUGH ALL OF ITS POINTS NORMALLY". I INDICATED TO THEM THIS IS NOT THE REASON WHEN I CAME TO THEM. THEY IGNORED MY REASONS FOR COMING TO THEM AND THEY THEN PROCEEDED TO CLAIM THAT ITS NORMAL FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO "HANG" AND FALL BACK DUE TO "THE COMPUTER GETTING CONFUSED AS TO WHAT GEAR TO GO TO". AS A RESULT ITS NORMAL FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO "LAG" OR "HANG". I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER TWO TRANSMISSIONS I HAD....SO, THIS IS ANYTHING BUT NORMAL !!! *JB

2000 HONDA ACCORD: POWER TRAIN AXLE-WHEEL BEARINGS. BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. 70,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. CAR IS GENTLY DRIVEN OVER SMOOTH ROADS. HONDA CONTACTED. DEALER NOT CONTACTED. *NLM

I STARTED TO FEEL A LITTLE SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN OR BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY. I CALLED AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE HONDA DEALER. THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN FOR THREE DAYS SO I TOOK IT TO MIDAS IT. THE MAN TOLD ME I HAD SOME VERY BAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND COULD NOT TOUCH IT. HE SAID IT WAS LEAKING FLUID OUT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND ALL HE COULD DO WOULD BE TO FILL IT UP WITH THE SPECIAL FLUID THAT HONDA USES. SO $80.00 BUCKS LATER I GOT SOME FLUID IN IT AND THEN CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHY MY 2000 ACCORD THAT I PAID $25,000.00 HAD A BAD TRANSMISSION AFTER ONLY 72,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT ,WELL THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE 2000 ACCORD AUTO TRANSMISSIONS. I AM BEING TOLD TO BRING IT INTO THE SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT FOR A FEE OF $72.00 AN HOUR AND THEY WOULD TRY TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT SUPPOSEDLY THAT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 72 MONTHS OR 100,000 MILES. I CAN ONLY HOPE TO GOD THAT THIS IS TRUE. OR I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST $3,500.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHY WAS I NOT TOLD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, OR THE TIME OF ALL THE DIFFERENT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES I HAD DONE? I HAD RAN MY HONDA CIVIC UP TO 240,000 MILES WITH NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS 2000 ACCORD AND I WAS GOING TO BUY A NEW 2003 ACCORD NEXT MONTH. ALTHOUGH NOW I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR THAT I HAD THOUGHT WAS THE VERY BEST ON THE MARKET! IS THIS GOING TO BE UNDER A WARRANTY?. *JB
