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.

My 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 has a few issues: 1. Front/rear struts, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links. This has caused my car to fail safety tests for the last 5 years. I have received an itemized estimate for these issues from a mechanic. 2. Electrical. The front instrument panel is not working properly. I can not touch any buttons on the dash or the lights on the panel will go off completely. Both of these are a huge safety issue and it is not safe to drive! No lights or warning of any kind regarding these issues!

THE STRUTS ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK WENT BAD ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WITH MY BOYFRIEND AT THE TIME, WHO IS A MECHANIC AND HEARD SOME THUMPING AND OTHER NOISES. HE LOOKED IN UNDER MY HONDA AND TOLD ME THAT MY STRUTS ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK ARE BAD AND NEED REPLACING. IT'S GOTTEN A LOT WORSE, FLOATING OVER BUMPS, HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME KEEPING IT UNDER CONTROL WHILE TURNING AROUND ANY TYPE OF CORNER AND IF I HAPPEN TO NOT SEE ANY KIND OF BUMP OR WHOLE IN THE ROAD, IT SOUNDS AS IF MY CAR IS GOING TO FALL APART.

THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSATION LINE DRIPPED FLUID ON TOP OF THE KEY SUSPENSION COMPONENT, WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

THE VEHICLE HANDLING IS POOR WHEN MAKING SUDDEN TURNS (AVOIDANCE MANEUVERS). WHEN I SPOKE TO MY LOCAL DEALER, THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL AND EVERYTHING METAL RUSTS IN THIS AREA (SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN). HE GAVE ME A NUMBER FOR SOME HONDA CARE CENTER, BUT AFTER NAVIGATING THROUGH THE AUTOMATED PHONE SYSTEM I FOUND OUT THE CENTER WAS NOT OPEN AT THE TIME I CALLED...FRUSTRATING. UPON EXAMINING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IT IS APPARENT THE FRAME (ENGINE CRADLE OR SUB FRAME) WHERE THE STABILIZER BAR MOUNTS TO THE FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS TOTALLY RUSTED THROUGH, ALLOWING THE STABILIZER BAR TO MOVE A GREAT AMOUNT ONLY TO BE HELD UP BY THE SWAY BAR LINK PIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE SWAY BAR LINK PIN TERMINATION COMES LOOSE OR BREAKS, THE SWAY BAR WILL DROP AND DRAG ON THE PAVEMENT, POSSIBLY CATAPULTING THE CAR.

CLICKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM FRONT SUSPENSION AREA. CAR WAS INSPECTED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A WATER LEAK FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT SUBFRAME. AS A RESULT, THE SUBFRAME FRACTURED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED AND FRACTURED. THE FRONT SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MECHANIC STATED THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE INJURIES/DEATH. CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA ON 7-15-15 TO GET A GOODWILL REPAIR SINCE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS AS A RESULT OF MANUFACTURE DEFECT. AMAL, THE REPRESENTATIVE IN THE PRODUCT CONCERNS DEPARTMENT STATED THAT IT IS HONDA'S POLICY NOT TO ISSUE GOODWILL SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IS 15 YEARS OLD. HONDA - NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD BRAND NEW CARS!!! YOUR REPUTATION HAS BEEN TO PRODUCE SAFE, DEPENDABLE VEHICLES, BUT YOUR LACK OF ACTUAL "CUSTOMER SUPPORT" SHOWS OTHERWISE. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT IN 2012 THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO THE PUBLIC'S ATTENTION INCLUDING THE SAFETY REGULATORS, HTTP://WWW.NEWSNET5.COM/NEWS/LOCAL-NEWS/INVESTIGATIONS/CENTER-FOR-AUTO-SAFETY-REQUESTING-RECALL-OF-1-5-MILLION-HONDA-ACCORDS-FOR-RUST-ISSUE-IN-SUB-FRAME.

PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME RUSTED TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE ISSUE IS CLAIMED TO BE DUE TO WATER DRAINING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER ONTO THE SUBFRAME SECTION WHERE THE SWAY BAR MOUNTS. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS FINE WITHOUT RUST. THE RUST IS VERY BAD AT THIS POINT AND HAS BROKEN THROUGH. THE REST OF THE SUBFRAME AWAY FROM THIS AREA IS FINE WITHOUT RUST OR SURFACE RUST WHICH CAN BE BRUSHED OFF TO EXPOSE GREY METAL IN GOOD SHAPE. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM I.E.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE REVEALED SHOCKING FINDING: THE R/F CORNER OF SUBFRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH AND BREAKING. DEALER ADVISES IT SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP AND THAT THE CAR IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. OBVIOUSLY IT MAKES NO SENSE TO SPEND THE $2,500+TAX THAT THE DEALER PROPOSES, AS THE CAR IS BARELY WORTH THAT MUCH. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN 1998-2002 HONDAS AS THE AIR CONDITIONER DRIPS RIGHT ONTO THIS PART OF THE SUBFRAME. THE INCONTROVERTIBLE EVIDENCE IS THE DOZENS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR SUBFRAME RUST FILED HERE WITH THE NHTSA AND ELSEWHERE - ALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE - AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT HONDA CHANGED THE DESIGN ON THE 2003 MODELS. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE NHTSA IS WAITING TO FORCE A RECALL?? WHAT IF I HADN'T GOTTEN THE MAINTENANCE FOR ANOTHER FEW MONTHS?? WHAT COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY HAPPENED?? COULD I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AS THE BOTTOM PARTIALLY FELL OUT?? THIS IS A SERIOUS INJURY, IF NOT DEATH, WAITING TO HAPPEN! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!??? AS FOR HONDA, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. THEY OFFERED MINIMAL GOODWILL ASSISTANCE, AND, THROUGH THE DEALER, BASICALLY SAID, IT'S AN OLD CAR, PARTS FAIL.

I BOUGHT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD 4CYL. ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO FROM AN OWNER. DROVE PERFECT FOR THE FIRST WEEK. THEN ONE MORNING MY BRAKE PEDAL GOT REALLY SOFT. AFTER CHECKING ALL FLUIDS AND LEAKS FOUND OUT THAT MY BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A SMALL SHOP TO GET MY BRAKE LINES REPLACED. I THEN GOT A CALL A FEW DAYS LATER SAYING I SHOULD GO DOWN AND CHECK SOMETHING THEY NOTICED ON MY CAR. TURNS OUT THE PASSENGER SUBFRAME IS RUSTED AND ROTTED OUT. EVERYTHING ELSE UNDERNEATH THE CAR IS CLEAN. THE MECHANIC SAID IT'S WEIRD THAT ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME IS RUSTED. HE TOLD ME IT COULD BREAK APART ANYTIME. BEING THAT IT'S NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE I HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED NOW. THE COST IS GOING TO BE ABOUT $1200 WITH LABOR. WHEN I GOT HOME I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DO ON THEIR HONDA ACCORDS. HONDA SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS BEING IT'S A STRUCTURAL COMPONENT TO CAR AND SAFETY ISSUE. HOPEFULLY HONDA WILL RECALL THIS SUBFRAME PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE ME LATER. *TR

I HAD A SCHEDULE OIL CHANGE AND THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT MY SUBFRAME WAS RUSTING AWAY. HE INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE SUBFRAME SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS CONDITION AS A RESULT OF NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION. I DO HAVE PHOTO'S OF THIS PART. *TR

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A CERTIFIED AUTO SHOP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND DURING THE INSPECTION THE MECHANIC LIFTED THE CAR AND ALLOWED ME TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE RUSTED SUB- FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT DRAINS DIRECTLY INTO SUB-FRAME CAUSING CONDENSATION ALONG WITH A PUDDLE OF WATER SITTING ON THE FRAME WHICH CAUSED A RUSTED HOLE IN THE SUB-FRAME. THE SPOUT FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALLOW THE WATER TO GO DIRECTLY ONTO THE GROUND. DUE THE FAULTY DESIGN SEVERAL HONDA OWNERS WILL NEED TO HAVE THEIR SUB FRAME REPLACE ALONG WITH THE BEARING. THIS IS A HIGH SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING, THE RUSTED FRAME COULD FALL APART AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR BRAKE WORK, THE STAFF NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT SUBFRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH, WAS BROKEN, AND WAS LIKELY PUTTING STRESS ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING. FIVE DAYS LATER, I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE OUT-OF-TOWN USER CAR SALES/SERVICE BUSINESS FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED AND THEY CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM, TRACING IT TO RUNOFF FROM CONDENSATION OVER THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR DIRECTLY ON TO THE CORRODED AREA. BECAUSE OF THE PRE-EXISTING NATURE OF THE PROBLEM, THE USED CAR SALESMAN IS WILLING TO PAY 50% OF THE COST, BUT PARTS (EVEN WITH THE USE OF A RUST-FREE USED SUBFRAME) AND LABOR TOTAL COST IS $1,200. *TR
