The SRS warning light was on. The diagnosis determined the fault was caused by low system voltage even though the battery and electrical system tested to oem specs. No parts were replaced. The servicing dealership (gillman honda - houston) said the fault is due to a misdesign by honda. This problem may prevent the airbags from deploying (if the SRS fault light is illuminated again). A safety recall should be considered.
2000 Honda Accord airbags complaints
Page 16 of 16: complaints 431 to 454 of 454, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Was traveling about 65mph on highway and another vehicle jumped in front of consumer's vehicle. He applied brakes and dual airbags didn't go off.
The SRS circiut disables airbags and doesn't reset itself.
Consumer noticed the SRS light on and took the vehicle to the dealership, the dealer stated that there was a defective sensor in the passenger seat cushion and the cushion would need replaced, it has been over one month and the seat cushion is still on back order.
Transmission when in reverse jolted, consumer stated that it felt like he backed into something or rolled over an object. Honda said they had about 300 complaints, only v6 engines. Consumer has been to dealer a few times with the complaint. Finally called honda who admitted the defective problem. *ak vehicle had a defective airbag light.
Consumer was traveling 35mph & had frontal impact collison with a tow truck. The passenger airbag deployed & the driver airbag did not. Driver sustained seroius injuries a fractured sternum. Consumer felt that injuries may have been avoided if airbag would have deployed.
I have taken my 2000 honda accord into the dealership multiple times because the side airbag light will intermittently come on and stay on while driving, thereby disabling the side airbag system. This occurs mostly when nobody is sitting in the passenger seat. I have taken this to three honda dealers and each and every one says that they don't know how to fix it. What do I do? I bought the car because of the protection the side bags offered, yet they seem to be inoperative a lot of the time and nobody knows how to fix them.
Bridgestone tire failure.
While traveling at 35 MPH and as a result of an accident driver's side air bag did not deploy, but passanger side deployed.
Transmission made a loud sqeaking noise and the air bag system failed twice. The dealer was informed appx. 7 day after the car was purchased of the problem and insisted it was just new car noises they will work themselves out. And again in april may I informed the dealer and the same things was said. Now I have a replaced transmission and they do not know why the SRS system keeps failing.
The SRS light stays on. Not sure if airbags will work in a collision. Dealer will try to fix with new SRS control modules. Speedometer head unit is up to 13% off (depending on speed) and is somewhat unresponsive to minor speed changes. Disconcerting while driving in traffic since I can't verify my actual speed due to the slow to respond and inaccurate speedometer unit readout. This leads to overaccelerating or overdeccelerating while driving in traffic in an attempt to hold local speed zone laws. Verified by a pgm test at local dealer. No fix for the speedometer head unit for now...told by honda customer relations to wait for a possible fix in november 2000. The driver's power seat makes a clunking noise while driving, not sure why. Finally, while driving in traffic many times when I press the accelerator pedal the car does not respond very quickly or even falls flat for a second before it goes, pretty disconcerting at times, especially at intersections.
Engine check light went on twice. Took vehicle to dealer, and they said fuel filler: cap was not on properly. Then, it was electrical system causing engine light to come on. A week later, SRS light came on, indicating something wrong with airbag and seatbelts.
No deployment of air bag during frontal and rear end collision. Nlm
Driver was making a left hand turn when driver was hit on the passenger's side with a hard impact that pushed vehicle into another vehicle. Upon impact, side airbags for driver and passenger did not deploy, causing injuries to passenger.
