general problems of the 2001 Honda Accord

Honda Accord 2001 4-dr sab: passenger side rear front engine support completely rusted away due to ac leak. Driver side rear front subframe is completely fine, no rust. Mechanic said car is too dangerous to drive unless I invest in new subframe for over $1,200. My car only has 70,000 miles on it and I'm very disappointed it hasn't been recalled for clearly a defective ac leakage. I have found many forums with the same problem including the article �center for auto safety requesting recall of 1. 5 million Honda Accords for rust issue in sub- frame and Honda Accords found with sub-frames rusted out by the nhou. I could have been seriously injured driving this car while I worked as a food delivery driver for grubhub. I deserve compensation, my passenger subframe is completely rusted out and hanging by a thread whereas my driver side subframe is completely fine. That doesn't just happen it should have been recalled.

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.

Vehicles brakes malfunctioned while driving, causing accident where injuries took place. Driver applied brake but pedal went all the way to the floor with no stop. Instead of stopping the vehicle accelerated from 20mph to 65mph on its own and there was no way of stopping it. Emergency break was then tried, when this did not work, car was put in neutral in hopes that this will slow down cars unwarranted acceleration. It was when vehicle hit a pole causing tire to mangle which caused vehicle to stop, had it not been for this collision with the pole the car would not have stopped even with all the other attempts. All star Honda 414-269-1399 in milwaukee, WI was called to inquire about what might cause break malfunction and acceleration, mechanic by the name of belal indicated that there have been a lot of problems with the break lines of this particular year, make and model. He mentioned that if break line has pressure in it it might cause the line to burst therefore causing the breaks not to work. He could not give an explanation for the acceleration, although other mechanics have told me it can be a number of factors from the throttle position sensor to something electrical or mass air flow sensor etc. Police accident report j9l0xblhkf.

Takata recall. Vehicle was parked in the hot florida sun. Airbag deployed spontaneously on front drivers side.

Hello the vehicle stops and stalls while driving and there is a strong possibility of crashing this vehicle if this is not resolved. This has occurred twice and it's very scary while driving. I saw a similar recall for 2010 Hondas that have the same issue. Please help!.

Takata recall Honda called me back in January to notify me of the inflator recall on my car and told me I need to bring it in to be repaired. Since I was working a lot at the time and was carpooling with my brother I took the option to set up an appointment at a later date. I recently got to the point where I need to start driving the car a lot again I called Honda back to set up the appointment. They notified me that the recall was already complete and gave me the number to the location this repair was apparently done. I called them and they told me a different dealer was the one that did the recall. I went back and forth between different dealers and Honda's resolution team multiple times over the next few days before they finally gave me the number to the Honda association. I called them and the lady on the phone told me it was already done. I explained everything that happened and she continued to tell me that the recall was already done in houston (which is about a 4-hour drive from where I live) on January 29th. She told me that there was nothing she could do to help me and continued that it was already done. I am the only one that drives this Honda and definitely did not take it to be repaired, and Honda won't do anything about it. Meanwhile after going back and forth with them the past few weeks I am at the point where I am driving my car with dangerous inflators and can't get the repair work done that was supposed to be offered by Honda, with a new job in frisco (about an hour drive) starting in a few weeks. I told the lady on the phone that I was going to contact the NHTSA next and she said that she would make note of that.

The front subframe on the passenger side has rusted through due to Hondas great idea to let the a/c drain there. It's a very common problem and something needs to be done about this. Now my car could fall apart at any moment which is clearly not safe.

On inspection of the vehicle, the engine cradle/ subframe on the passenger side is rusted most of the way through making the car unsafe to drive. The drivers side is fine.

I have a 2001 Honda Accord. I just read that many are being recalled due to airbag issues. Im not sure what to do to resolve this issue.

Tranmission needs to be replaced. Car will not go into reverse. This is a Honda recall and Honda will not honor since the car is over the age for the warranty but still within the mileage. This vehicle was always serviced at the dealer where it was purchased and were never informed of the recall.

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.

I own a 2001 Accord v6 with a little over 136,000 miles. Check engine light came on after car had been hesitating and slipping when changing gears. Also was pulling when going around corners (almost felt like braking automaticall). Took the car in, and initially there was a code for iacv (idle air control valve). Auto shop flushed the system, reset check engine light. The next day, check engine light came on again. Brought it in after a couple of weeks and it's a code p0740 for tcc (torque converter clutch) solenoid valve circuit malfunction. Was told it's the transmission, which appears to be happening quite frequently - and conveniently after the 100,000 warranty extension was granted. Feels unsafe driving the car, not knowing if/when the transmission is going to fail, so now I'm forced to spend $2000 getting the transmission rebuilt.

My transmission started showing signs of slippage that caused the transmission light to blink and check engine light to go on after heading down a side street leaving my office for the day. The next morning I drove to service center and they said transmission had failed. This is in alignment with all the complaints (and apparent law suit from 2006) involving 2001 Accords. Honda will not honor partipcating in the cost to fix the transmission due to constraints of lawsuit even though there is precedent of goodwill repair gestures that have extended beyond the suit (to which I did not opt in to participate). I have not opted to repair the car as of yet due to the cost.

I went into a Honda dealer for the air bag recall, twice. My airbag light however keeps lighting up. I believe that there is another issue going on that has not been addressed. In addition, the paint coating on the car is coming off, fading, and all with significant damage to the overall quality of the car. I see paint coming off from similar vehicles in my area. I believe that both the air bags and paint should be addressed.

My check engine light came on, and I was informed that I needed a new transmission. I was told this may be covered under an extended warranty that Honda issued due to this very common transmission problem. Honda informed me that this warranty is expired, and offered me a used transmission with 64,000 miles on it, and a 12,000 mile or 1 year warranty which ever comes first for $3,250. Honda needs to issue a recall for this faulty transmission because their warranty extension has left people like me with a vehicle that is a safety hazard and a minimum $3,250 repair. The offer for this used transmission is a joke because it's the same transmission that I currently have, so what happens if it to fails not even a year and a half from the date I purchased it. Transmissions that have been taken very well care of (this car was previously owned by a mechanic) do not fail just before they reach 75,000 miles. Honda needs to accept responsibility, and issue a recall for this transmission.

Paint peeling on top when I purchased in 2012 just a little bit the size of a small piece of fruit. In 2 1/2 yrs the whole top has peeled, the top of driver side front and back door and the trunk is also starting about 40% now. Car is 01 but I see other makes and models that are that age and older that look ten times better. I see Honda Accords everywhere with the same problem , especially the same color as mine which is dark green.

Car changes gears when excelerating.

Back in 2007 I noticed I was able to remove the key from the ignition when not in park. I talked to the Honda dealer to which I took my car at the time and was advised it was likely an ignition switch issue, would be expensive to repair and was not covered under any warranty. Since the issue was infrequent and could be solved by ensuring the car was in park before removing the key, I was told it did not have to be fixed. The issue has happened more frequently over the years. I can now easily slide the key out while the car is in gear and running. I brought my car to the dealer, was advised Honda had a recall for this issue for my make, model and year but my specific VIN was not included. The NHTSA database identifies this issue as NHTSA campaign id number: 05v025000. I called and spoke to Honda corporate customer service and was advise the issue was my responsibility since my VIN number is not associated with the recall. I am upset and extremely disappointed Honda will not take any responsibility for this issue despite the fact that I have been experiencing the exact issue described in the recall for years and my make, model and year vehicle is included in the recall. I do not understand and find it very suspect that my specific VIN number is not included. Internet research shows a large number of Honda owners are experiencing the same issue and their vins are also suspiciously also not included in the recall. This is a safety issue and I believe Honda should be forced to add any vehicle experiencing this issue to the recall and replace the defective parts at no cost to the vehicle owners.

Hi! I am hoping to own this car for ten more years. Since purchase complained headlights not working (have service complaint documented) as I cannot see in snow, rain, ice, when you need them the most. Also believe car fills with exhaust fumes for many years. Has anyone checked this out?.
