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.

HEARD A NOISE WHEN BREAKING, TURNING, OR GOING OVER BUMP. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC & FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION SUB FRAME (REAR CROSS MEMBER) WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. SWAY BAR IS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. $1600 REPAIR & HE CAN NOT EVEN FIND A PART AS HE HAS SEEN SO MANY OF THIS SAME PROBLEM IN LAST COUPLE YEARS. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO AC DRIPPING ON THE FRAME IN THAT SECTION. DRIVER SIDE IS SOLID. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE! *JS

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, THROUGH THIS LETTER, I WISH TO INFORM YOU OF MY DISAGREEMENT WITH THE EVALUATION OF THE AIR BAGS IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY TO PROTECT ME. WHEN I ADDRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE DALTON AGENCY, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER, MANUEL PEZ NAVARRO AND THE HEAD OF MECHANICS, JORGE CARDENAS ONLY DO OIL CHANGE AND FILTERS. THEY ADVISED IF I WANTED TO KNOW WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, THAT I SHOULD PAY A TECHNICIAN $600.00 PESOS TO CONNECT A SCANNER TO MY CAR TO SEE IF THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE SYSTEM, AN ERROR THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN THE CAR WAS ASSEMBLED. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE FACTORY INVOICE FOR MY AUTO SPECIFIES THAT IT HAS AIR BAGS AT THE HIGHEST SECURITY LEVEL. THAT IS WHY I?VE TAKEN MY CAR TO BE SERVICE REGULARLY AT THE DALTON AGENCY TO KEEP ALL WARRANTIES IN PLACE. I PLACED MY TRUST IN THE AGENCY, IN THE HONDA COMPANY AND IN THE GLOBAL BRAND AND FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN MISLED ABOUT SERVICE AND QUALITY. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED BY THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM INDIVIDUAL LIVES. THE TRAUMA, INJURY AND REHABILITATION AFTER THE ACCIDENT HAS BEEN TERRIBLE, LEAST HAVING TO DEAL WITH YOU HAS CAUSED UNNECESSARY FRUSTRATION AND FEAR. KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAG SITUATION HAS BEEN CALLED A SIMPLE MISTAKE OR ACCIDENT DOES NOT HELP MY DILEMMA. LUCKILY I AM ALIVE TODAY, BUT A FEW CENTIMETERS COULD HAVE MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE AND CAUSED A TRAGIC STORY. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME COULD HAVE HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE, ESPECIALLY SOMEONE HAVING A HARD TIME IN LIFE. PLEASE CONSIDER TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND DO THE ?RIGHT THING?. I?M ATTACHING PICTURES AND COPIES OF ALL DOCUMENTS FOR YOUR REVIEW AND PROVIDING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: LICENSE PLATE #: 124-PPU SERVICE HISTORY: 2001 ?

DASHBOARD LIGHT GO OUT WITHOUT NOTICE AND THEY TURN BACK ON AT TIMES. UNABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT THE SPEEDOMETER. GEARS IN CAR JERK WHILE DRIVING AT ALL TIMES FROM GEAR TO GEAR, SIGNS OF SAND LIKE METAL RESIDUE IN TRANSMISSION FLUID WHEN CHANGED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO AND DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL IT BECAME WORSE AND I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE POSSIBLE ISSUES. *TR

I FEAR MY VEHICLE IS BEING DENIED A RECALL DUE TO IT BY HONDA. MY VEHICLE FAILED ITS ANNUAL EMISSIONS TEST ON AUG. 22. THE STATE SENT ME A NOTICE INFORMING ME THAT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD WAS PART OF A RECALL CLASS IN 2004 THAT WAS CONNECTED TO AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM. I RECEIVED NO ALERT FROM HONDA ABOUT SUCH A RECALL. WHEN I ASKED HONDA ABOUT IT THIS WEEK, THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL CLASS. AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD DETERMINE THIS BY MY CAR'S VIN -- THAT THE VIN INDICATED IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL CLASS. SO I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE RECALL. BASED ON MY REVIEW OF YOUR "2004 ANNUAL SUMMARY OF EMISSION RELATED RECALL" (HTTP://WWW.EPA.GOV/OTAQ/CERT/RECALL/420B05022.PDF), IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS PART OF THE CLASS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

Suspension, Aug 18, 2013
RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2000 HONDA ACCORD IN GREAT CONDITION. UPON INSPECTION NOTICED THAT THERE THE FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER/SUBFRAME WAS ROTTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCHING ONLINE HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS ABOUT THE AC UNIT LEAKING AND ROTTING OUT THAT PART OF THE SUB FRAME. *TR

I BOUGHT A HONDA ACCORD WITH 162,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS TOLD ALL IT NEEDED WAS BRAKES AND ROTORS. WHEN I WAS REPLACING THE BRAKES AND ROTOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE I INSPECTED ALL OTHER PARTS AS WELL AND THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE BIG PROBLEM. THE SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED OUT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND THAT HONDA RECOGNIZES THIS BUT FAILS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE AIR CONDITION DRAIN IS POSITIONED SO THAT IT IS CONSTANTLY DRIPPING ON TO THAT PART OF THE SUB FRAME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL I HAD THE PART REPLACED. I RESEARCHED THE PRICE AND LABOR FOR THE PART : PART: $600+ HONDA GARAGE. LABOR: $500+ HONDA GARAGE. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AS OTHER HONORABLE COMPANIES HAVE. *TR

HI, DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO REPORT THIS INFORMATION. I'VE CALLED BEFORE, LET IT RING FOR UP TO 20 MINUTES, WITH NO KIND OF PICK UP.I WAS GOING TO BUY THE MENTIONED VEHICLE FROM ROSS AUTO, AT 590 28TH ST SE, 49509 . I TOOK THE CAR TO RIVERTOWN HONDA IN GRANDVILLE, MI , KENOWA SW, 49509 FOR INSPECTION. ROSS'S CLAIMS CAR HAS 20,000 ACTUAL MILES. I BROUGHT IT BACK,QUITE LIVID WITH THE LIES. HE TOLD ME TO GIVE HIM CARFAX IN MY HAND, I SAID I WOULD FOR THE $35 FEE. HE FREAKED OUT,SAID THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME FOR BEING UPSET ABOUT THEIR LIES.I TOLD HIM TO GET THE CAR OFF THE LOT.THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY,DROVE TO ROSS', CAR STILL THERE. PRICE RAISED TO $7998.CALLED MY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE >TOLD ME TO CALL THE MY SECRETARY OF STATE.REP GAVE ME PHONE NUMBER CLAIMED 2 B A FEDERAL AGENCY.WAS NOT.CALLED BACK MY SEC STATE,ON HOLD > THAN 1/2HR, TOLD "THIS IS FEDERAL OFFENCE" >CALL ANOTHER #. TOLD>..."NOTHING U CAN DO,CAR IS> THAN 10 YRS OLD".I CALLED FBI IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI. TOLD ME IT'S ISSUE 2 TAKE UP W. THE MY SEC. OF STATE. SEE NOW WHY ROSS' LAUGHING ALL THE WAY 2 BANK, AS HE'S UNACCOUNTABLE 2 MY NEIGHBOR,[XXX] ,DISTRICT COURT JUDGE >OFFICE ABOUT A MILE FROM ROSS', IN CITY OF WYOMING COURT BUILDING. TOLD ME HE HAS NO JURISDICTION, DOESN'T OFFER LEGAL ADVICE. DON'T KNOW IF CAR IS STILL ON LOT. I PRESUME SOMEONE BOUGHT IT & BEEN RIPPED OFF ROYALLY. AT CLOSING TIME, MULTIPLE HISPANIC MEN DRIVE MANY OF THE CARS OFF THE LOT FOR SOME REASON. I FIND THIS QUITE PECULIAR. THIS SITUATION IS AN OUTRAGE, & I'M DUMBFOUNDED THAT THERE IS NO ONE WHO WILL TAKE THE TIME TO STOP THESE LOW LIFES.SO WHAT IF CAR IS >MORE THAN TEN YEARS OLD? DOESN'T THE ODOMETER HAVE A SERIAL NUMBER ON IT THAT CAN PROVE IT'S MUCH LESS THAN TEN YEARS OLD? THIS IS A "TOTAL LOSS VEHICLE" BEING SOLD AS SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT. INEXCUSABLE OUTRAGEOUSNESS.
