16 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/12/2007

I bought my Honda Accord this September. It had a rebuilt title due to minor dents and blemishes to the outside. No major wrecks. Looked and seemed in good condition. Dealer assured me that all of his cars were insurance claims due to minor exterior wear. He didn't take any cars that had been involved in wrecks. He was an "engineer" and didn't need to screw people over for money. I had my mechanic inspect it right away because it had a 30 day return policy, no questions asked. My regular mechanic said the engine was fine but there were minor things I needed such as; new rotors, new tires, and something to do with the emergency brake. His secretary said these were all optional things to have fixed. 1 month later. . . The radiator goes bad and must be replaced. My regular mechanic charges me $600. 00 dollars for the procedure. I compare prices and find a better price for the same radiator. Unfortunately, my regular mechanic still charges me $70. 00 for his opinion. I go to the cheaper place, get a new radiator and have my rotors replaced. Since about 2 weeks after owning the car I notice that the srs airbag light flashes on and off randomly. A $80. 00 diagnostic check was performed and nothing showed up. My mechanic didn't notice it when he drove it. I still don't know if my airbags work! a month after that. . Transmission goes bad when in reverse. Makes a terrible grinding of metal sound and lurches when put in reverse. Probably needs a new transmission which I have no way to pay for. Luckily, it is only a problem during the cold and/or when I first start the engine. Im very worried about the safety of my car and myself! because I've had 3 different people assure me the car is in good shape, only to find out about or have a major problem occur. I don't feel safe in my mystery car! I bought a Honda after being a loyal Toyota customer because I thought they had the best reputation for long lasting vehicles. I'm thinking I made a mistake. Please help lessen my worries.

17 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2007

"2000 4-door Honda lx" - on or about October 2007, its srs readiness indicator light illuminated. During its regular maintenance service, I took the car to Honda santa ana, CA and complained about this situation. The srs light was reset only to find out after 3 days that it came back on. On January 2008 and March 2008, the same situation was handled by santa ana Honda and after 6-10 days, the light turned on again and again. I was finally informed that the control panel to the srs unit was defective. Because the warranty had expired long after this problem persisted, the service advisor indicated that if santa ana Honda were to fix the equipment, it would cost me at least $1,600 which was reduced by 30% by its service manager john marker. It was then that I brought up the case to american north Honda motor CO inc and was handled by wayne at 1(800) 999-1009 ext. 118198. Wayne called and informed me that they are participating to this repair by reducing the cost by $300. It didn't make logical sense to me that the consumer is liable for costs involved in fixing a safety-related device that came with the vehicle. The fact that both santa ana Honda and north american Honda are both contributing to the costs of this repair, tells me that this is a defect of the vehicle. My family's 1999 Toyota camry and friends' 2000 Toyota corolla never had their srs worn out in the course of time, why would Honda have this problem? please assist me contact Honda to carry the burden of this costs or extend the warranty. My current mileage is now 120,000.

19 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2006

Airbag malfunction indicator light is on. Creating a critical and dangerous problem that needs to be addressed ASAP. Since this is a safety related defect and is covered by law as stated by NHTSA on there web site under voq and recall booklet. The airbag malfunction creates a situation in which could cause death and critical injuries to the driver and passenger. I contacted american Honda motor CO. They refuse 100% to repair the malfunction. They refused to let me speak to a dept. Supervisor. They also stated that the dept. Supervisor never contacts or speaks to any customer. Stating that this was the way they do business. I spoke to mr. Todd yamatsuka american Honda motor CO. At automobile customer service. I told him more than one time that the airbag malfunction was a critical safety related defect and I also informed him that by refusing to repair the malfunction would be a violation under NHTSA law requirements. He even offered me what can be considered as a bribe, stating that he could get me free spark plugs, dist. Cap, and wires. I refused to accept this. In order to end this conversation I ask for the last time if he was going to repair the airbag malfunction he stated no. Ps I do not know what oem stands for please let me know when ever possible.

21 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/17/2005

The srs indicator light came on at 74,000 miles. From reading through the complaints, it seems this is a common problem with 2000 Honda Accords. It also seems that people have spent a lot of money to "try" to correct this problem, but with little success. Now I have to decide between spending a lot of money, possibly to no avail, or driving an unsafe car with no airbags. Please investigate ASAP and issue a recall, if needed, before someone dies.

26 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2005

My car srs indicator light started to come on back in April of 2005. It stays on while my car is on with and without passengers. I finally took my car to a mechanic hoping that they could reset the light. They told me that there is a malfunction in the air bag system and it could deploy at anytime. The mechanic also told me that this is quite common in this make and model. This is very frightening because I bought a Honda for their reputation for safety and quality. But to think that my airbags can deploy at anytime I drive or even not working in the case of an accident is very concerning. Please investigate this with the Honda Accord coupe models between 1998-2003. My car is a 2000 v6 Honda Accord coupe lx. Thanks.
