3 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 07/28/2017

I purchased my Honda and it was a wreck and repair but all that was damaged was pass door and fender no airbags deployed but front seat belts have never worked they are locked . When the takada airbag recall came I took my 2001 Honda Accord to hinda of morristown TN and told them are bout the seat belt issue as well and they said the airbags had to have been deployed are bound becauwe of that they would not warranty the seat belts it would cost me 1200. 00 and nor only that but when I asked if they repaired the takada air bag issue they didn't say yes or no I called back asked for a invoice as to what they did to my car and was denied . So I may still be in danger of that recall and the sad part is I have a small child that I have in my vehicle.

On my vehicles, the interlock operation of the ignition switch not function properly, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to park.

8 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 07/24/2016

I had my car taken in for the airbag recall and the srs light remains on. I also have the check engine light on constantly. I do not believe they fixed my recall completely and believe my vehicle has several other recalled issues at hand. Including the transmission not working properly. The headlight s do not give proper lighting and visibility is horrible at night. The seatbelt on my driver side locks all the time when I try to look over my shoulder. The tcs light sporadically comes on when the road conditions change and I do not feel safe but I don't have the finances to get dealership autoshop work performed. So if I do get into an accident due to these defects being faulty to begin with don't say I didn't try and get help.

9 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2015

"takata recall" shortly after the recall the srs light came on dash and has stayed on. Possibly related to air bag, seat sensor or seat buckles. Honda refused warranty service, "not a covered item" suggested replacement of the srs unit at $800. 00 for the parts. We maintain it's all part of the same safety system and should be covered. After reading on the web it varies from dealer to dealer weather they will cover it or not. We just want whats fair. Please advise. Original owner. Valerie valencia.

10 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2015

The axel that holds my tires on do not hold the bolts that are put on. I have had to replace every single bolt on all four tires once a month, if not more. The bolts come lose after replacing them and tightening them. The bolts keep cross threading after fixing them and putting them on correctly. My driver seat belt comes undone while driving down the road. The interior lights where the clock is and below come on and off randomly. This happens on a day to day basis, ever since I purchased my car. I will be driving down the road and hear a noise coming from my tires, pull over and a bolt or two has come off. This is unsafe for not only me but my family.

13 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 01/12/2012

Srs light will not go off.

14 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2011

Transmission failure to shift into 2nd gear some times. Car taken to dealer on extended warranty and refused maintenance due to age of car. . Many Honda's having this problem and need a recall to resolve this issue as it shouldn't happen. Second problem is driver seat belt. Air bags replaced on recall and shortly after the srs light came on. Dealer says problem not in air bags but driver seat belt module in seat buckle. Seat belt warranty for life of vehicle but Honda says the buckle where switch is not covered. You can not replace switch but must buy the complete seat belt strap and buckle. To me the seat belt buckle-strap is part of the seat belt. Honda warranty says a seat belt that fails to function properly is covered for the useful life of the vehicle. This is a safety problem as with this failure Honda manual says air bags will not fire when srs light on.

15 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2010

Shortly after driver-side airbag inflater recall service, srs light came on and dealer realized driver seat belt buckle is faulty and needs to be replaced. While seat belt system should be covered by lifetime warranty, Honda excluded electric switch with the buckle. Dealer told me the only time you replace the buckle is due to the electric switch inside. To me and many others complaining about the same issue, this is a Honda manufacturing defects or serial safety design issue because - Honda claims to cover seat belt buckle under lifetime warranty, but not the electric switch inside. And only time when the buckle needs to be replaced is when the switch goes bad.

16 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2010

I own a 2001 Honda Accord ex v6 sedan. The srs light on it went on a few months ago. It always stayed on causing the risk of airbags not deploying. After doing a lot of research and repeatedly checking for recalls, found out that it was a very common problem with the Honda vehicles. I finally went to the dealership and had it fixed. They mentioned that the driver seatbelt buckle was causing a short circuit and it was covered under the extended warranty. This should have been a recall issue, or the information should have been better communicated to the consumer.

17 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2009

The srs light came on and stays on as long as the engine is on. No correction done, can't afford to pay for the parts and labor. Car is 2001 Honda Accord.

18 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2008

I have had several problems with this car. I got the car brake pads replaced regularly but I had to get the rotors replaced too in 2006. Then, the driver side seat belt had to be replaced round about the same time. Recently (a month ago), I got the primary oxygen sensor replaced. Now, the latest major problem is internal trans failure and fluid leak diagnosed by Honda, a diagnosis that I had to pay for. This is unheard of in a car with 55k mileage. Honda sold the cars with defective tran systems in the first place. There was a class action lawsuit because of which they extended their warranty. Now, I am out of the warranty by just 3 months. They have asked me to pay around $700 to repair it. Honda should cover 100% of the repair cost. I am pretty sure that I will have to again replace the new tran system as soon as its warranty period expires. Because of this, the car is driving funny and using a tremendous amount of gas. When I called customer care and told them that the fuel economy problem (due to tran failure) had started about 6 months ago (when I was well within the warranty period), they said that I should have taken it to a dealership before. Since there were no visible sign on the dashboard or any other place, how will a driver know that there is something definitely wrong with the car? there might have been engine sounds but it is hard to discern it over the inherent loud din of the Honda engine. Even the Honda technician could not say for sure whether the noise coming from the engine was due to the tran. Failure. A proper repair shop would have told me exactly what the prob. Was and try to repair it, but Honda replaces the full tran system. Honda's customer service is extremely unpleasant - they are rude and abrupt in their conversations. They have given me limited choices - 1. I had to pay for a diagnosis at a Honda repair shop. 2. I do not have a choice of getting it fixed from a different Honda dealership. 3. They have given me 3 days to repair it.

19 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2006

My son had an accident while driving my 2001 Honda Accord. The driver airbag did not deploy, but the passenger airbag did deploy, even though there was not a passenger in the vehicle. Also, the seat belts locked up. The accident was on 12-2-06 and I have tried two different dealerships to find out why the driver airbag did not deploy. They will not give me an explaination and they will not fix the seatbelts until I replace the airbags, which I cannot afford.

20 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2006

: 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 -.

21 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2005

My srs light is on at all times in my 2001 Honda Accord. I took it to a Honda dealership in June, 2005. I was told that when the srs light is on, my air bag system is inoperable and air bags will not deploy on impact. Dealership inspection found a code for seat belt buckle switch/sensor causing the srs light. The buckle set has been special ordered and has not arrived after one month. In the meantime, I drive around with my srs light on and no airbags. Why are there so many complaints about this same issue on the NHTSA website? does this issue need to be addressed as a possible recall? so many of the complaints regarding this same issue are with no resolution. So far I have no resolution. I did not buy a car with no air bags. I want to feel confident my air bags will do their job should I be in an accident. They have saved my life in the past. If you have this same issue, I encourage you to file a complaint.
