I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED AND IT WOULD TAKE 1-2 DAYS TO RECEIVE AND ONCE THE PARTS WERE RECEIVED, I WOULD BE CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT THEN. I NEVER RECEIVED THE CALL AGAIN AND I ASSUMED IT MAY HAVE TAKEN LONGER FOR THE PARTS TO BE RECEIVED SO I HAD WAITED LONGER. I RECEIVED THE SAME RECALL NOTICE AGAIN THIS YEAR AND SUDDENLY REMEMBERED THAT I HAD TRIED TO SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT SINCE LAST YEAR. IT HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN MORE THAN 60 DAYS SINCE I HAD FIRST CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT.

MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC WAS PART OF A RECALL DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE SRS. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS ALSO UNDER RECALL DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE SWITCH FOR THE LIGHTS. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE LOW-BEAMS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR BOTH TO BE FIXED. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THE LIGHTSWITCH, ALTHOUGH THE RECALL CONTAINED THE MAKE AND MODEL YEAR OF MY CAR. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS WASN'T FIXED AS PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE SWITCH, GOING SO FAR AS TO PURCHASE TWO SETS OF HEADLIGHTS IN THE TWO YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF IT OCCURRED IN OTHER CARS MADE THE SAME YEAR AS MINE, WHY WOULDN'T HONDA FIX IT KNOWING IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. MY VIN APPARENTLY WAS A FEW NUMBERS OFF. I WOULD THINK THAT IF I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, HONDA WOULD FIX MY SWITCH EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T WITHIN THE RECALLED VIN RANGE. MY SECOND COMPLAINT IS THAT AFTER HAVING REPLACED THE RECALLED PART, THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT IS STILL ON. THIS DEALERSHIP ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE AWAY IN MY UNSAFE CAR, WHICH WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. THE FINAL ISSUE IS THAT I WAS PROMISED THE CAR AT 1 O'CLOCK, AND I DIDN'T GET A CALL THAT IT WAS FINISHED UNTIL ALMOST 2 O'CLOCK, AND AT THAT TIME I HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO FIND SOMEONE AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE TO PICK UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL. I WILL OWN THIS CAR IN ANOTHER SIX MONTHS, AND I WAS SINCERELY HOPING TO TRADE IT IN FOR A NEWER MODEL HONDA. I AM NOT SURE I'LL DO THAT NOW. *TR

MY MOTHER IS A VICTIM OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT FROM A HONDA CIVIC 2001. SHE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A SMALL STREET AND HAD PLACED IT IN PARK. THEN, SHE PLACED THE GEAR BACK INTO DRIVE AND BEFORE TAPPING THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR SURGED FORWARD IN HIGH ACCELERATION AND WENT OUT OF CONTROL. SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES BUT IT FAILED TO STOP THE CAR. THE STEERING WAS ALSO OUT OF CONTROL AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ABOUT 30-40 MPH FOR AN ENTIRE BLOCK AND FINALLY, CRASHED INTO A TREE TOTALING THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS TAKEN AWAY BY AMBULANCE. AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH, SHE SUFFERED FROM A BROKEN ANKLE AND HEEL, DEEP GASH TO THE KNEE, SEVERE CHEST PAIN (FROM AIRBAG) AND HEART CONTUSION. SHE SPENT OVER A WEEK IN THE HOSPITAL AND IS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF RECOVERING. *TR

SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN JULY 2010, I TOOK IT IN TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC TO TAKE A LOOK. THE COMPUTER CODE SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SEATBELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY SO THEY ORDERED THE PART AND REPLACED IT. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SRS LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT WAS LIKELY THE WHOLE SRS UNIT THAT IS BAD BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET THE COMPUTER CODE TO CLEAR. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO THE HONDA DEALER TO GET IT FIXED SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER BUT WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, REGARDLESS OF THE ISSUE. I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA CORP AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT ONLY THE SEATBELTS ARE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM IS NOT COVERED, AS IT IS AN ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURE. I HAVE NO WORKING AIRBAGS NOW AND HONDA WILL NOT FIX THIS, DESPITE THERE BEING RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON OTHER 2001 CIVICS

2001 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES TO NOTIFY NHTSA OF EVENTS RELATED TO RECALL *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE REQUESTED ADDITIONAL REPAIRS BE MADE TO THE VEHICLE WHICH INCLUDED THE TRUNK LATCH WHICH FAILED TO LATCH PROPERLY AND THE FUEL DOOR LEVEL THAT WAS NOT WORKING. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR INVOICE, THE TRUNK RELEASE CABLE WAS REPLACED AND THE FUEL DOOR LEVEL REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THE SRS WARNING LIGHT WAS ON, EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON FOR TAKING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED UNDER THE RECALL. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE ISSUES DESCRIBED WERE NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL REPAIRS AND FURTHER TESTING WOULD REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL FEE OF $95. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER FAILED TO CORRECT THE RECALL. *JB

THE SRS LIGHT IS ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TELL ME A DIFFERENT REASON FOR THE SRS LIGHT COMING UP. I'M NOT SURE IF MY DRIVER/PASSENGER AIRBAGS WORK. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2001 HONDA CIVIC. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

HONDA SENT ME A LETTER ASKING ME TO BRING MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC TO THE HONDA DEALER FOR AIRBAG RECALL. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER IN SANTA ANA CALIFORNIA TO PLAN TO BRING THE CAR TO THEM ON SATURDAY WHEN I COULD BE OFF FROM THE WORK. THE HONDA DEALER SAID ON SATURDAY THEY ONLY DO "REGULAR SERVICES", NOT RECALL REPAIR. THEN TODAY I TOOK A DAY OFF FROM THE WORK TO GO TO THE HONDA DEALER, BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS, AND ASKED ME TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK. IS THIS RECALL UNIMPORTANT? WHY CAN THEY DO REVENUE-SERVICE BUT NOT RECALL-SERVICE ON WEEKEND? WHY DON'T THEY EVEN HAVE PARTS IN STOCK FOR RECALL? ARE HONDA AND HONDA DEALERS HANDLING THE RECALL IN A PROFESSIONAL AND RESPONSIBLE MANNER? *TR

SRS SYSTEM IN 2001 HONDA CIVIC MOSTLY NON-FUNCTIONING. LIGHT ALWAYS RETURNS. COMPLETION OF AIR BAG RECALL IN 2009 LEFT LIGHT STILL ON--DROVE AWAY FROM DEALER LIKE THIS AND THEY HAD NO PROBLEM WITH LIGHT ON. WAS ADVISED BY TO OFFICE THAT PROBLEM WAS CODE NOT RESET. RETURNED TO HAVE CODE "RESET" WHICH DEALER CLAIMED WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. LIGHT BACK ON AGAIN. THE SRS SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, PERIOD. *TR

MY HORN STOPPED WORKING AND MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THE DEALER ORIGINALLY TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH THE WIRING... COSTING ME $300 WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD TO REPAIR. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE SRS LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF A DEFECT IN THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ($200)- BUT WHY WOULD THAT MAKE MY HORN STOP WORKING? THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AND OBVIOUSLY WIDESPREAD!!! HONDA ALSO NEEDS TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I HAD FOUGHT THEM AND THEY PAID FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS WHEN MY TRANSMISSION DANGEROUSLY AND QUICKLY WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. THESE ARE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES!! UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS BUT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE SRS LIGHT ON. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE SUPPOSED RELIABILITY AND CHEAP MAINTENANCE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT HONDA IS NOT TAKING CAR OF THE SRS LIGHT PROBLEM AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEM!!! *TR

I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU OF AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION THAT OCCURRED IN MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC ON JULY 14, 2009. I WAS INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE AIRBAG FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON JULY 14, 2009. GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, I REAR-ENDED A VEHICLE THAT WAS STOPPED FOR A LIGHT. THE FRONT OF MY HONDA SMASHED IN, THE WINDSHIELD WAS SMASHED, AND THE FRONT END AND COMPARTMENT COMPRESSED TO THE POINT THAT, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT, THE STEERING WHEEL JAMMED INTO MY CHEST WITH GREAT FORCE. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATED, BUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT. MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND NOT REPAIRABLE. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE WITH SEVERE CHEST CONTUSIONS, AND WAS OUT OF WORK FOR 2 WEEKS IN A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN. FOR MONTHS, I SUFFERED WITH LARGE HEMATOMAS ON MY BREASTS, SEVERE BRUISING, AND INTENSE PAIN. TO THIS DAY, MY BREASTS ARE DEFORMED AND LUMPY FROM MONTHS OF HEMATOMAS, AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT I WILL HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS FOR MANY YEARS, IF NOT FOREVER. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF BOTH MY INJURIES AND THE VEHICLE. *TR

THIS IN REGARDS TO HONDA'S SAFETY ADVISORY RECALL, 2001-2002 ACCORD/CIVIC DRIVER'S AIRBAG INFLATER (SB 08-093). I BROUGHT MY CAR TO HONDA WEST, 7615 WEST SAHARA AVENUE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89117. I SHOWED TWO SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES AND THE SERVICE MANAGER THE LETTER THAT I RECEIVED FROM HONDA REGARDING THE RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE FOR TWO DAYS SO THEY CAN ORDER THE PARTS. THAT WAS NOT AN OPTION BECAUSE I WORK AND NEED TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO WORK. I SUGGESTED TO ALL OF THE REPRESENTATIVES AND MANAGER TO ORDER THE PARTS, CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS ARE IN, AND I COULD BRING MY CAR BACK IN FOR THE RECALL. THEY DID NOT WANT TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT WAS AN INCONVENIENCE FOR THEM AND INSISTED I LEAVE MY CAR FOR THE TWO DAYS. TO ME IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY DID NOT WANT TO WORK ON IT BECAUSE IT WAS A FREE REPAIR. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE BRINGING MY CAR BACK FOR THIS REPAIR. HOW CAN I BE CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL FIX THIS ISSUE WITHOUT BREAKING SOMETHING ELSE AND CHARGING ME. I WOULD TAKE MY CAR ELSEWHERE, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY OPTION IN LAS VEGAS. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD OF HONDA CIVIC 2001 STAYS ON. UPON WORKING WITH AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, THE DIAGNOSIS OF THIS ERROR IS "LEFT FRONT SEATBELT BUCKLE SWITCH FAILURE" (CODE 09-3). I WAS VERBALLY TOLD THAT THIS MEANS IN EVENT OF A CRASH THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I CURSORY SEARCH OF INTERNET FORUMS SUGGESTS MY CASE IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. WHEN I REQUESTED THE DEALERSHIP AND SUBSEQUENTLY HONDA MOTOR CO TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, WHICH HAS TO BE CONSIDERED SAFETY RELATED, I WAS TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. GIVEN THE POTENTIAL OF AIRBAG NON DEPLOYMENT, I WOULD REQUEST URGENT ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. *TR
