I spoke with a customer service representative by the name of [xxx] from american honda motor co., inc. On june 12, 2005 about an SRS related problem relating to their technical service bulletin 06-009 dated february 5, 2008. I was told that the warranty has already expired because the vehicle is more than 10 years old even if the mileage is less than 124,000 miles. I am the second owner of the vehicle when it was purchased from a private party back in 2004. Since these models came without an air conditioning unit, I had one installed the same year (2004) at the closest dealership near our place of residence. Because of this service, they should have updated the ownership record for this vehicle to reflect my name as the new owner. When this bulletin came out, honda failed to furnish me a copy of the tsb since I only found out from them on june 25, 2012 that the said vehicle was still registered with the first owner. When the problem about the SRS unit occurred which was directly related to the bulletin they released on february 5, 2008 they would not honor the bulletin anymore and even told me that my vehicle was not covered, even if the bulletin specifically states that the vehicles affected included "2000-2001 honda accord 2-dr and 4-dr: all with opds". I went to the dealership last friday, 6/22/2012 without knowing that this tsb ever existed and they were charging me a substantial fee to get it fixed even though it is a factory defect and should be fixed by them without cost to me. My complaint is that they failed to furnish me a copy of the service bulletin and now that this problem has occurred to my vehicle they will not honor that service bulletin. I would have brought my car in to get fixed even without this problem had I received this bulletin on time. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Ignition key can be removed when the shifter is in non-park position and couple of times when this happened, the vehicle rolled away. This failure symptom was captured in the federal safety agency 05v‑025, but, when asked, honda motor company responded that the federal safety agency mandate didn't include this VIN number. This suggests there may a reason to expand the VIN numbers affected by this mandate.

I am able to remove the key from my ignition when my car is in gear. I have checked the federal safety agency database and this is a recall issue on 2000 honda accords (the federal safety agency campaign id number: 05v025000 ). I went to honda and spoke with the corporate customer service and there is nothing they will do for me as my car's VIN number is not associated with this recall. I would like to have my car's VIN added to the recall list, as it is exhibiting the recall symptoms and needs to be fixed.

For no apparent reason at all (no moisture problem; no cell phone, computer, etc. Use; no disconnecting anything at all, much less related to seat belts, passenger seat occupancy, seat removal, etc.) the SRS light came on and has remained on for many months. Google shows this to be a widespread problem, which has triggered a very wide range of responses from honda. This has been a wonderful car given timely completion of all scheduled maintenance. But the SRS light problem, since it involves the safety restraining systems, should be guaranteed for the life of the car. But, given the various ways people with this issue have been treated, I am reluctant to take the vehicle to honda. It may only require a reset for the light, which should cost nothing. But charges for a diagnosis are in the $70-100 range. Then, if there is actually a problem with safety, fixes have cost in a range of $600-1500. The whole situation is absurd.

The above information was from the most recent incident, however this problem has existed for several years. My wife has told me about the problem with the ignition switch that allows this car to have the keys removed while the car is in drive and the engine is off (the federal safety agency action number peo5002). She contacted honda while in orlando fl but they said the recall was not for her VIN. This is still problem and I contacted honda today and was told I could have it fixed but would have to pay for it. I am not sure but I believe this car should be included in the recall if the problem exists on it. Please let me know what I have to do so honda will comply with their recall.

I own a 2000 honda accord that I purchased brand new. The car has been shutting down while I am on the road with no warning. This happens at different speeds. Also when I pull over the engine will start immediately, but now it is hard to start and will stall immediately after starting it. I took my car to dealer on 6/7/11. The dealership had my car until june 9, 2011, but said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. So far I have been lucky that nobody has been behind me when the car has died. I called the dealer again on 6/18/11 and spoke with anita, who made it seem like I was crazy. She said they would have checked for any open recalls. I looked on line and I found that this has been an ongoing problem for other honda owners. My car has 103,000 miles, and this started happening in february, but is occurring more frequently. I did some research and found out that you investigated this under campaign number 02v120000 but I didnt see that 2000 accords were included in this.
