The sub frame on the passenger side of the vehicle is rusted out. The rust is below the AC drain hose. The vehicle is unsafe to operate. The dealer gave me an estimate of $2200 for the repair. No damage/rust on drivers side where A/C does not drain. The mileage is 158,080. Also see SRS light.
Started car on that date and light would not go out talked to honda said there was a recall but not on this vehicle talked to mechanic to see about repair they said it was part of recall. It is not on list missed by one year so did they not get my car? Srs light remains on no accidents or any other related issues
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. After the vehicle was started, the passenger side air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
I am not on the recall list however I called honda as the SRS light remains on. After speaking to 4 representatives at honda they informed me that the previous owner responded to a recall in 2006 service bulletin recall 06-009 - code opds which is for faulty airbags and seatbelts. The previous owner had repair done according to honda 3/31/2010 - 10 year warranty. I bought this car at 89000 odometer on 10/11/2012. Approx. 6 months ago the SRS light came on. I contacted honda with no assistance as they said there is a 10 year warranty on this recall. Yesterday I started by getting assistance from emily, briana, nicole and alexis at honda - case no. N012015-05-2002159 and to expect a call from honda. Yesterday afternoon james (no id or last name) regional case manager. He informed me that he could not assist me. 1. I am not the original owner. 2. I am not a loyal honda owner as I have not bought another honda. 3. No repairs through honda. 4. The car is over 10 years old. I informed him to check another recall which supercedes the previous recall and dated 3/14/2006. He informed me to have the repair done at my expense at honda and the case is closed. I told him that this was a fault with honda and it is not 10 years since the recall and I fear driving my only car with an enormous problem in case of an accident - seat belts and airbags and an enormous danger to me and my grandchildren. He informed me that this was not his or honda's responsibility. Please help me. I need honda to take responsibility.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving at an unknown speed, the SRS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who stated that the opds codes needed to be cleared. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 155,769.
Side air bag: light comes on and turns off intermittently for no given reason. This has been happening since I bought the car in january 2007. Tried to get assistance from buerkle honda who did not make any notes about my request. Now tell me I need a new electrical system and that it means the air bags will not work.
I have had trouble with my honda's seat belt staying locked in. I've also have the SRS light on after a battery change. I figured out how to reset it but it comes right back on. I have taken the car into honda and they tell me my car is "not affected" by any recalls...I explained the seat belts are supposed to be covered under a lifetime warranty. They wanted 125.00 diagnostic fee to determine if it was the seat belt and what the code is if it isn't the seat belt I have to pay the diagnostic fee and 800.00.to get the airbags to work for something that is supposed to be covered under a lifetime warranty,.I even tried going back to a different service adviser. Reading online I see that many people have the SRS failure and some suspect the cause relates to battery and alternator voltage! Appears to be a convenient failure to state whatever they want and get the owner to pay! Recently, honda has had to recall airbags. Maybe it's a blessing that people's airbags have been rendered useless since they blow up and have killed people!! I hope the federal safety agency realizes how many peoples airbags haven't even been working! Well surprise, my car isn't covered under the latest airbag replacement. I am most dissatisfied with honda they are not standing behind their products and don't seem to care if they lose customers (by death or otherwise). I tried calling there 800 number several times to no avail they were rude and condescending. This was my 3rd honda and my last. The recall even states there is not to be a charge to check this however, they will not without me paying there fee! Don't care the federal safety agency and honda's own recall notice is irrelevant to them. In light of the latest issues with airbags I think I will write an editorial for the local news or maybe call the local television station to highlight this issue ongoing blatant disregard for their customers.

The car was parked. Got into the car to leave and the air bags deployed when the ignition was turned on. The car was stationary and there was no impact to the front.
My air bag light came on then went off and kept doing that for quite a while. I purchased the car new in connecticut in 2000, but now live in north carolina. I brought the car to honda in myrtle beach, south carolina but the light was not on and they said they could not find out why the air bag light came on. My oil light also comes once in a while then goes off. They checked that too (charged me over $60.00) and sent me on my way. How can I find out what's really going on?
2000 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle air bag problems. *smd the consumer stated the air bag exploded last summer, while his son was driving. The air bag deployed, but did not inflate. The dealer replaced a sensor in the passenger seat. The consumer stated prior to the incident, a similar sensor was replaced in august 2013.
Srs indicator on dashboard. Car needs this repaired before valid ma inspection sticker can be applied. Honda dealer repaired first "SRS incident" driver's side seat buckle. Honda dealer declared problem fixed. Drove car home. 2 days later, SRS indicator re-appears on dashboard. Took car back to honda dealer. Honda dealer now says that car required new opds sensor. Approximate repair cost: just under $500. No mention of previous recall regarding this issue for all honda accords 2000-2001. Recall was extended to 10 years and 157,000 miles. Current mileage under 154,000 miles. Called honda corporate offices. Both honda dealer and honda corporate unwilling to help. Can the federal safety agency help with getting honda to abide by old recall? I never received a notice. I believe the SRS repair from last week resulted in the current SRS opds failure. I can see many angry honda accord owners on internet web sites. Add me to the list.
To whom it may concern, through this letter, I wish to inform you of my disagreement with the evaluation of the air bags in my 2000 honda accord. I was involved in an accident and the air bags did not deploy to protect me. When I addressed my concern to the dalton agency, I was informed that the service manager, manuel pez navarro and the head of mechanics, jorge cardenas only do oil change and filters. They advised if I wanted to know why the air bags did not function correctly, that I should pay a technician $600.00 pesos to connect a scanner to my car to see if there is an error in the system, an error that may have been there from the beginning when the car was assembled. Please understand that the factory invoice for my auto specifies that it has air bags at the highest security level. That is why I?ve taken my car to be service regularly at the dalton agency to keep all warranties in place. I placed my trust in the agency, in the honda company and in the global brand and feel that I have been misled about service and quality. I am totally disappointed by the lack of concern from individual lives. The trauma, injury and rehabilitation after the accident has been terrible, least having to deal with you has caused unnecessary frustration and fear. Knowing that the air bag situation has been called a simple mistake or accident does not help my dilemma. Luckily I am alive today, but a few centimeters could have made a big difference and caused a tragic story. What has happened to me could have happen to anyone else, especially someone having a hard time in life. Please consider taking responsibility and do the ?right thing?. I?m attaching pictures and copies of all documents for your review and providing the following information: license plate #: 124-ppu service history: 2001 ? Present service agency: honda dalton polanco de mxico, d.f.
Driver side airbag light on unexpected and instable..(sometime on, sometime off).
Srs indicator remains on and it looks like it is due to faulty driver's seat belt buckle switch. This is issue recognized by the honda via bulletin but refused to fix it. This issue related to air bag and should be fixed since it is a basic safety issue which should be covered. Both honda and dealer dulles honda are refused to address this issue even though this is basic safety issue for the driver or passenger if air bag does not deploy.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact was driving approximately 35 MPH when the passenger side air bag deployed inadvertently without impact to the vehicle. There was not an occupant in the passenger seat at the time. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 146,300.
I was pulling into the parking space after driving the vehicle for 45 mins (approx. 20 miles). When I was ready park the car and switch off the ignition, the car suddenly accelerated way too fast and hit the building in front. I was driving into the parking space at less than around 10 MPH as I had to make 3 turns within 100 feet before coming into vacant parking space. My leg was also in the break pedal as I made those turns after getting into the private property from il rte 83. I can definitely confirm that my leg was not in gas pedal as my right leg was on the break pedal to make those turns and stop the car in the parking space. It all happened in the matter of few seconds and there was no time to react. The car came to halt only after hitting the building. Both air bags deployed as soon as the car hit the building and there was heave smoke inside the car. It was really scary because by looking at the damage the speed at the time of accident looks to be around 50 MPH. It was a relatively higher curb in front and the building was just 6 - 8 feet away from the curb, I was also driving into the parking space at less than 10 MPH. I am really shocked to see this kind of unintended/sudden acceleration happen with honda accord cars which could prove to be fatal for the driver, passenger and pedestrian alike.
The SRS light came on. Honda tells us that the component that regulates the airbags (a mini-computer in the dash?) has failed and must be replaced. Honda advises that, until replaced, the airbags will not work. Based on the internet research I have done, this appears to be a fairly common problem. Honda wants to charge $1000 to replace the unit, although it appears that the component is available online for about $325, and requires about an hour of labor to install. This seems to us to be a pretty fundamental safety issue, and this component should be engineered to last well beyond the anticipated lifetime of the vehicle.
On november 26, 2012 my SRS light came on and has stayed on since. This vehicle though it is a 2000 honda accord has only 66,200 original miles will cost about $800-$900 to repair. This is an issue which involves the safety of the driver and any passengers. I am told it could be a possible danger if the airbag does not deploy in any accident. I am not sure of the significance; I get different stories from folks. It is my understanding from some research that this light could possibly come on and stay on after recent transmissions problems. May 9, 2012 just five months after having my transmission fluid replaced I needed to have a rebuilt transmission at a cost of $3757. For several weeks I had discussions with honda customer service department to no avail. I personally will never buy another honda product in my lifetime and intend to discuss this situation with any person considering buying this product. I have been a loyal and faithful car owner with my honda dealer since I purchased the vehicle. I received all scheduled services even though I did not have the recommended mileage. This is my reward, a rotten car from a rotten company.

Red "SRS" light came on in july 2012 and has never gone off since. I have the notice from honda dated spring 2006 about this problem and how they are covering this problem for 10 years or 150,000 miles. I called honda in ca at 800‑999‑1009 on 8/23/12 and was told that they will not cover the repair because the car is over 10 years from its june 2000 built date. The car had 130100 miles on the day I called. Funny thing is that they will cover any seat belt problem for the life of the car regardless of the number of owners but they won't cover the SRS airbag system, I called my local honda dealer where I bought the car from and the service manager told me to bring it in now, which I did. They scanned the SRS system for a code. Came up the occupant position detection system ( opds). I asked if the air bags would still deploy in a crash with the SRS light on and he said no. I want to know that the air bags will work and I feel honda should repair this defect for free since it is a life saving safety system. I called honda again after I got home from the dealership to try to speak to someone higher up in management chain and as usual I got nowhere. This is an expensive repair and it's dealer only parts. There seems to be many people with the same problem when I searched "2000 accord SRS on" and most of the people with this light on said that they are or did not get it fixed due to the high quoted cost of the repair. These cars are on the road with non-working SRS/ airbags systems because honda used substandard parts that did not last as long as they should have and than refuses to properly fix this problem,that's just not right! I wish the federal safety agency would order honda to recall and repair these cars regardless of mileage or time at no charge. Alot of these older honda accords will end up being purchased used by the younger drivers who can't afford a brand new car.
The federal safety agency action number: pe05043 already had service in 2009, SRS problem back, dealer refused warranty corrective action.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda lx. The contact was traveling 40 MPH when the SRS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 153,000 and the current mileage was 153,052. Updated 08/21/12
