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.

These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant.

2000 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS... WHEN CAR GOES FROM 1ST TO 2ND IT SLIPS REALLY BAD. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN I'M BEHIND SOMEONE AND HIT THE GAS IT REVS UP AND NOTHING HAPPENS AND THEN IT CATCHES AND THE TIRES SPIN. I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE TODAY WITH A CHILD IN THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW! *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS SHORT OUT DUE TO A SYSTEMIC DEFECT IN THE FUSE SYSTEM, WHEREIN THE FUSE WORKS ITSELF LOOSE AND THE BULBS SHORT OUT. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORD MODELS DATING BACK TO AT LEAST MY YEAR, ACCORDING TO HONDA REPRESENTATIVES. THEY TELL ME THAT EVEN THOUGH, ACCORDS WERE SUBJECTED TO RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, MY VIN WAS "OUTSIDE THE PARAMETERS" OF THE RECALL. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND CREATES A DANGEROUS NIGHT DRIVING CONDITION. OUR VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000 MILES ON IT BUT THE SHORTING OUT PROBLEM HAS BEEN EVIDENT FOR OVER TWO YEARS. IN THE PAST, IF I TAPPED ON THE DASHBOARD, THE LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON. NO LONGER. THIS SYSTEMIC DEFECT, OF WHICH HONDA IS WELL AWARE, IS DANGEROUS. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AND EVEN I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE I CANNOT DETECT THE SPEED, GASOLINE METER, WHETHER THE CAR IS OVER-HEATING, ETC, ALL REQUIRED SAFETY FEATURES UNDER PROBABLY BOTH FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA STATE LAW. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED TWICE, PAID FOR THE REPAIRS, WITHOUT SUCCESS. I AM ASKING FOR YOU AGENCY TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT AND ORDER HONDA TO RECALL ALL ACCORDS THAT MAY BE IMPACTED, WHICH COULD VERY WELL BE THE ENTIRE LINE SINCE 2000. I FIND HONDA'S ADAMANT FAILURE TO FAIRLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE TO BE SHOCKING. WHY SHOULD A CONSUMER BE FORCE TO PAY OVER $500.00 FOR A DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS EXISTS AND WILL NOT CORRECT?

IN MARCH OF 2008, MY 2000 ACCORD SE HONDA'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 122,206 MILES; I HAD TO PAY FOR A REBUILT REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION, TODAY I WAS INFORMED THAT I WILL NEED YET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION BY HONDA, THAT MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE REPAIR IS COMPLETED, AND THAT THE THREE-YEAR OR 36,000-MILE WARRANTY WILL ONLY EXTEND AS FAR AS THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY (THAT IS ROUGHLY ANOTHER 15,000 MILES OR UNTIL MARCH 2012). THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION ONLY FUNCTIONED FOR LESS THAN 21000 MILES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL'S POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF A TRANSMISSION. EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, I EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN AS I HAVE TO COMMUTE 44 MILES A DAY TO WORK. CLEARLY, IF THE SECOND IDENTICAL FAILURE HAPPENED IN SO SHORT A TIME, THERE IS A SERIOUS FLAW---ONE WITH POTENTIALLY LETHAL CONSEQUENCES THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

1. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE: 133K MILES ON 2000 HONDA ACCORD, 4 DOOR, LX 4CYL, 5 SPD MANUAL TRANS. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED IN NOV OF 1999. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN DAILY 15-30 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. 2. THE FAILURE, HOW OFTEN IT OCCURS, IT'S CONSEQUENCES: ON 8/3/10, STARTED TO DRIVE TO WORK. AFTER 2 MILES, I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I ACCELERATED. WHEN I WENT TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, THE ENGINE OVER-REVVED - UP TO THE REV LIMITER, EVEN THOUGH I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR IN ORDER TO SHIFT. I COASTED WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED WHILE THE ENGINE "BOUNCED" OFF THE REV LIMITER FOR A SECOND. THEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I COULD NOT "UN-STICK" THE THROTTLE -WHICH WAS STUCK IN WOT (WIDE OPEN THROTTLE) POSITION. 3. WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE; I.E, PARTS REPAIRED OR REPLACED (AND IF OLD PART IS AVAILABLE)? I TRIED TO LIFT THE THROTTLE OFF THE FLOOR, IT WAS STUCK. I REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT, WHICH MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I THEN OPENED THE HOOD. I COULD SEE THE THROTTLE CABLES WERE SLACK AND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS STUCK. THE PART OF THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH HOLDS THE CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATOR CABLE HAD BROKEN. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CABLE (NO LONGER HELD IN PLACE) FLOPPED FORWARD AND JAMMED THE THROTTLE OPEN. UNTANGLING THE JAMMED THROTTLE BODY, AND SECURING THE CRUISE CONTROL THROTTLE CABLE TO A LOCATION WHERE IT COULD NOT COME LOOSE, ALLOWED THE THROTTLE BODY TO WORK AGAIN. USED THROTTLE BODIES ARE AVAILABLE - $135 +/-. NEW THROTTLE BODIES ARE AVAILABLE $400 APPROX. LABOR IS 1-2 HOURS TO REPLACE. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. EASY FOR ME TO REPEAT THIS. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS YET. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP - THEY WANTED TO SEE IT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE VERIFIED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY BROKE (FAILED) IN A TROUBLING WAY. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE THIRD TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED ON MY HONDA ACCORD. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST 2 WITH ONLY A $200 CHARGE ON THE SECOND ONE. THE FAILURE MODE IS SUCH THAT THE CAR SLIPS INTO A NEUTRAL LIKE STATE WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THINK ABOUT TURNING LEFT, CROSSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND YOU STEP ON THE GAS, THE CAR STARTS TO MOVE AND GOES INTO NEUTRAL. YOU ARE STUCK IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. *TR
