general problems of the 2001 Honda Accord

Side air bag light comes on and off randomly when driving no more than 25 mph and lights get brighter when I press the gas but doesn't move immediately.

I took it to oreilys to read the obd and the guy told me my ecu was wiped. My identity has also been stolen and these gang of people who impersonate me have done this, at an earlier time 8/19 my keys were stolen from my roommate and I reported it because they got tickets in my name. Anyhow I have to push start my car to override the fact that theres no data to tell my car what to do and my key is also invalid and I cannot afford to fix it. Was hoping there was a way you could get info on who did this and accessed the info?? or if I am covered under the privacy act?? 970 702 0109. 0.

I am able to turn the ignition to the off position and remove the key without putting the vehicle in park. While this has not resulted in an accident yet, the car did roll down my driveway once. Someone could die as a result of this problem. I believe the issue is with the ignition interlock. Both the dealer and an independent mechanic told me it was an expensive repair and “not worth doing on this car”. The thing is, there is a recall for this very issue on other 1999-2002 Honda Accord sedans, but the recall does not include my car’s VIN. This is a public safety threat that make me afraid to sell or donate my car. The problem has been ongoing for about 3 years. There are no warning lights associated with the problem, but a number of other electrical issues have been developing.

Takata recall-my srs light is been on for more than 2 weeks and my side airbag lights is also coming on and off. . . Recently my dash lights stopped working.

Takata recall. . . I got a recall letter in the mail. . . I went to the dealer and had it fixed. It was the srs red light. However, the srs redlight still came on after it was fixed. When I mentioned that to the representative he said:" the srs light serves several purposes. Not only srs, but also seat restraints. And several others. If we want to determine that, it is an extra charge of $ 150. 00 plus parts". I do not believe that is right. The warning light clearly says "srs". Your comments please.

Takata recalls.

Well I had purchased the car from a seller on craigslist . I had noticed a red illuminated light reading srs on my dashboard I had no knowledge of what it was after further research of what the warning sign was. Reliable source given stated that reading indicated a possible malfunction of airbags present in the car.

Recall # 04v256000 6/7/04 05v025000 1/28/05 never received notification of recall, having these issues currently on my car Honda states no recall in effect at this time for my VIN.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. While the gear lever was in the drive position, the contact was able to turn the key to the off position. As a result, the vehicle rolled away. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact was made aware of NHTSA campaign number: 05v025000 (electrical system) but the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was 95,000.

Instrument panel lights completely out. Very obviously the same issue referenced in NHTSA recall #04v256000 for the lx version of the Accord. You can feel the heat coming off the panel (before it was permanently broken. ) paid hundreds of dollars to fix it at a Honda dealership, only to find that new bulbs and instrument panel didn¿t work. Reading over the NHTSA is like deja vu, this is exactly the problem I¿m facing but for some reason the ex version of the Honda Accord is not included in the recall. Well ask the dealer if I can pay to have the same work as the ¿should be free¿ recall is for the nearly identical version of the car. Extremely frustrating, makes the car very dangerous to drive at night.

My ignition-park interlock is faulty but isn't under the current recall. It may be common sense to put the e-brake on when parking but not everyone is perfect, my vehicle has nearly rolled away multiple times now. Luckily I caught it in time to stop it from crashing. Also if I do leave the vehicle in d4 with the e-brake on, ignition key out of course, and I leave the vehicle parked, someone could break in and push it away. Regardless what I showed the dealership, they told me to contact Honda of America to file a complaint. I just did that and got told the same thing.

My mother had picked up my niece from her school and was waiting for my nephew and his friend to get out of high school. When ready to go, the car was difficult to start. Took about 10 min to get the car to start. After the car started, went into reverse and backed out of the parking space. Put the car in drive and it "chugged" a couple of times. Then the car accelerated unexpectedly. She was unable to slow the car down by applying the brakes. The car traveled 460 feet accelerating the whole time. The approximate speed of the car was between 60-80 mph. At the end of the parking lot, she turned left and the car hit a curb launching them into a pole that holds up the chain link fencing around the school. They went thru the fencing and into the block wall behind it coming to rest there. All 4 occupants were seen by a doctor and released that day. My mother has numerous cuts and bruises. My nephew shoulder and back are hurting him. My niece has scrapes on the right arm from the block wall. My nephews friend has a black eye.

Srs light will not go off.

The interior dashboard panel lights fail to light up.

I was driving down the road at about 35 mph and the car just stalled for no apparent reason it had gas so I coasted on to the side of the road put it in park and it started fine went about 3/10ths of a mile got speed up to 30 mph also this time I turned off the radio and a/c and it stalled again coasted over to the side and stoped put in park and tried to crank this time it just turned over and would not crank at all I sat there with my emergency flashers flashing for about 5 minutes and it started fine that time I turned around and drove home and parked it there was no check engine light on and the car was at normal operating temp it was in the day time the temp outside was about 90 degrees farenhite I had drove the car for about 15 minutes when it started this, there are a lot of complaints about this type of malfunction from Honda Accords in this year and model I have a 2001 Honda Accord 4 cylinder.

Tl-the contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while the ignition key was in the run position, it became disengaged without warning. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic where it was diagnosed that the interlock lever and the ignition needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000. Ss.

Have 2001 Honda Accord 4 dr sedan. (ex). For the last 3 months after purchasing gas, once my car reaches the 1/2 available gas level, the check engine and tcs lights come on. Has been checked, diagnostics run-no answer to problem. If I stop, reopen my gas cap, replace the cap and crank it around @ 3 times, after 4 restarts of engine, the lights go off on my dashboard. Do not see any defects with gas cap as far as gaskets being defective.

Srs light stays on 2001 Honda ex 75k. All electrical has shorted out on me while driving. Car has never been in an accident.

There have been several recalls for different Honda vehicles with this problem: the mechanism that locks the key in the ignition while the vehicles are in gear can wear out. When that happens, drivers are able to remove keys without shifting into park. I can take the key out without the car being in park. There have been no injuries to date. I have been trying to make sure that I put the emergency brake on everytime I park my car. This has been happening with my car for several years, but it has never been included in a recall. I am not sure when it started or what the mileage of the car was when it started. I called Honda today when I saw the latest recall to see if they would fix my car or if I have to wait until someone gets hurt or dies and they say to contact you because they could not just include my car in the recall.

2001 Honda Accord v6 worst of 4 Honda's I have owned. Replaced all electrical under drivers seat, replaced brake sensor 3 times - allows gearshift to release. Rear main seal leak, transmission replaced, door lock motors replaced, led readout on odometer won't show one number, replaced the master cylinder. Car has not been in accident and had to have casters on front frame adjusted so it wouldn't chew up the tires. Most of this happened under warranty except for the rear main seal. This should have been a jag.

: the contact stated the airbag light illuminated intermittently while the vehicle was running. No other indicators were present at the time of illumination. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem, but the dealer replaced the entire driver seat belt in a unsuccessful attempt to remedy the problem. Updated 5/23/2006 -.

On may 9 when I took my car in for service (for oil change, etc. ), I mentioned to the service technician that recently the yellow "maintenance light" comes on while driving. When I returned the next day to pick-up my car, I was told that the technicians could not locate the problem, and therefore they just "reset" the maintenance light on the dashboard. While driving on may 11, the speedometer in my car sporadically dropped and then went back up again (together with the yellow maintenance light flashing over and over again). After much aggravation with this unsafe driving condition, I again brought my car back to the dealer (on may 12) -- after speaking with the assistant manager about the problem. I had to get a loaner car for the day. . . The technician finally located the problem that day. . . . My car needed a totally new gauge assembly (temp gauge, speedometer, fuel gauge, etc), and I was told that this part was out of the factory warranty and would cost approximately $435. . . . . It also would take about 1 week to order. Even the service tech's indicated that usually this part only wears out after the car is about 10 to 15 yrs old. As I drove my car on may 19, all gauges in the dash assembly were improperly working -- they (speedometer, etc. ) registered at "0" as I drove and the gas tank gauge dropped to "e" (even though I had recently filled the tank). . . . Definitely a driving hazard! after using my car for 3 days in this unsafe driving mode, I was finally told by the dealer on may 22 that the gauge assembly had arrived. I had to pay $370. 86 to have this part installed on may 22. I cannot believe that a gauge assembly that is so crucial for safety while driving would not be covered by the Honda corporation. Please let me know what can be done about this situation. If you need any further info, let me know. Thank you.

Purchased used vehicle in March 2006. In may 2006 I experienced an engine cutout while driving on the highway. This symptom still exists intermittently. When this happens the immobilization light also comes on. I also experience a starting problem with the car intermittently. The dash lights normally come on when the car starts. When the car does not start, the check engine light and the immobilization indicator light are both off. I've also seen instances where the other lights are off and only the check engine light is on. If I let the car sit for 10 minutes or more, it will start. I've had the car to the Honda dealer service department. They checked my keys which were ok. They also replaced the main relay and the main computer and I am still having the problem. They are of no further help.

The srs light on my 2001 Honda Accord stays on. I have just learned that if the srs light is on, it is an indicator that the airbags will not deploy should one be in an accident. I am not pleased, to say the least. I also read that Honda supposedly sent a letter to owners informing them of this defect. I have no recollection of receiving such a letter. The average cost for the repair is $700. 00. I believe that Honda is responsible for the defect and should repair this defect at their cost. The srs light has been on since the day I purchased my car.

The srs light began to come on intermittently, and then stayed on. Took the car to the dealer, and was told the entire computer module needs to be replaced. No reason given - just "thing happen". No trauma or collision leading up to the light coming on, and definitely no airbag deployment.

The air bag light was on. Dealer stated that consumers' cell phone on the seat made the light go on. Dealer showed consumer a paper, stating that the electronic devices caused problems with air bags. The consumer paid $300. 00 for the repairs.

Honda Accord 2001, noise from a/c and "maintenance" light would also flicker. The light bulb behind the digital clock was replaced, the gauges on the dashboard would illuminate, when this occurred all the gauges would drop to zero for a few seconds.

One day, my srs check light came on randomly. I researched it on the internet to see what the problem may be, and I was informed that they're one of the very common problems associated with the 6th generation Accords, that are caused by no real problems. Honda corporation is not willing to offer a remedy about the problem, even though it involves safety issues (airbags will not deploy when the srs light is illuminated). I have to take it to the dealer now and pay $80+, just to have it checked out. If my srs needs to be replaced, as with most cases experienced by other Accord owners, it will be another $700+ for replacement. . Thank you for your time and attention.

Srs light continues to come on. It was reset by the dealership and then immediately upon picking the car up the srs light went on again. Dealership tells me that the srs light in this car is usually set off by cell phone use in the passenger seat. I am a one person owner and do not have passengers. When srs light went on again it went on while I was using a cell phone in the driver's seat.
