I have an complaint in reference to the 2002 honda accord. I have been doing some research on this make and model , and have found that many owners are having the same issues with the SRS light on the honda accord. We are being charged to fix or replace this issue,after clearly seeing that this is another flaw produced by the honda motors company, if you may look into the SRS light issue on the 2002 honda accord please.
2002 Honda Accord airbags complaints
Page 5 of 10: complaints 101 to 130 of 273, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Srs indicator keeps coming on. Had it repaired twice and it keeps coming back on. I do not remember the dates of repair. Not sure if the airbags will work or if they are defective in some way, since I could not afford to keep taking the car back in.
I am on my second honda - the first one was a 1987 honda accord that I had for 15 years. I loved that car and had no issues at all with its performance. The car listed with this complaint I bought new in 2002 and still have it today. I am not sure of the dates but within three to four years of having this honda, the dash board lights stopped working and the driver side airbag returned an error light. I faithfully service this vehicle ( kirkwood auto center wilmington de) and when they investigated the issue, I was told that each of the repairs was not covered by warranty and would be several hundred dollars to repair. I was a single parent at the time and learned to live with no dashboard lighting at night and had the air bags disabled. I have also taken the car to a certified honda dealer (union park honda wilmington de) and they also confirmed that neither of those repairs was covered or the product of a recall. I always thought I would buy hondas forever but I am quite disappointed in the performance of this 2002 accord and how it failed so soon after I purchased it with no recourse but to pay a huge amount of money to fix the issues. Equally upsetting is all of the issues with airbags that are being replaced yet my car, with the failed airbag, would have to be paid by me to be functional. What can honda do for me to keep me in your honda family?
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving at a low speed, the driver and passenger side air bags deployed inadvertently. As a result, the contact crashed the vehicle into a cement wall. No injuries were reported and a police report was not filed. Three years later, the contact received a notification for the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v351000 (air bags). The dealer informed the contact that they were unable to perform the recall repairs since the failure had already occurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000.
I was informed over a year ago my current auto received an air bag "fix" to the air bag activator during a normal service call and has no longer any air bag recalls. My car year and model is listed into the current takata air bag replacement recalls, but honda refuses to tell me if my car has this air bag. The activator fix is not what the takata air bag issue is about! It's the metal fragments hitting the driver. I have no confidence in what honda has told me and prefer to have my auto air bag be replaced, even though I am not in a high humidity zone, stated in the current takata recall. Philadelphia hits high humidity (>90%) every summer, so how/why will my car it know if it is in florida or philly? Please move forward to have all of the models, years, in the takata mess replaced, period! Regards, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While visiting a dealer to catch up on recalls, its computer and website both show the 2001-2002 accord driver airbag recall from 2011 as fixed; since the last time I was at a (original, different) dealer was 5/10 this is impossible. I am concerned that after a certain period customers who did not attend to the recall are automatically marked as fixed. Fwiw I had an accident in 2007 and the passenger airbag deployed but the driver's didn't.
Airbag warning light came on and persisted after reset. According to the dealer it is due to a faulty sensor in the seatbelt. Dealer/honda refuses to replace.
I was traveling home in the far north bound lane going 40 MPH and was hit head on by a dodge durango traveling south bound in the far right lane. (2 lanes each way with a center.) I was driving and the airbag exploded as the durango cut off another car and hit head onto me. The airbag explosion produced a burning smell which I thought the car was on fire but it was the airbag explosion. My face was very red and swollen and just felt on fire from the explosion which covered my face. I had a scratch in my left eye and needed a rinse and a small laceration above my eye. My right hand was swollen immediately and was throbbing from the grip of the wheel and the airbag explosion. My right pinky was totally numb for quite a while with radiating pain up the right arm. The right had still has issues with grasping things and dropping them. I had and still have headaches from the jolt and neck injury especially in the frontal area. I noticed my speech became slurred and thoughts took longer to process when speaking to people. On the job this created difficulty.
Air bag light turns on and off.
Srs light is on, which is for airbag. I searched the recall in honda owner's website and found there is one (letter dated sept 2014) which is for driver airbag for humidity area (which include california). So I called dealer on 10/8/14 and I was told part will be ordered and available in a week. I called after a week and I was told that it is back ordered so it cannot be order part until two weeks later. Dealer promise again to order it after two weeks, and I will call them after nov 6 if I don't hear from them.
Srs and air bag sensor lights appeared intermittently at first, now stays on constantly, this seems to be an issue with honda for many years and ignored, my car has more miles and age and the honda customer service assistance decline to cover with a warranty or safety recall. The honda dealer wants megabucks to diagnose and replace sensors. I have been told that the air bags may not now deploy correctly or at all and this is a serious safety concern and liability for my wife and/or children/passengers from this defect in the event of an collision. I would like honda to fix and make their product safe for their customers. Thank you
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact received a recall notification for the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v351000 (air bags); however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified. The contact had not experienced a failure.
I slowed down at a traffic light and my car was rear ended by another car who failed to apply the brakes and/or may have hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. The car has been deemed a total loss as the car chassis seems to be crumpled. What I find very surprising is that neither the seat belts tighten nor the air bags were deployed despite being hit so hard. I was wondering what may have been the reason and what needs to be done so that it doesn't happen with anyone else.
Car was headed west in the left lane of a four lane highway. A big SUV headed in the opposite direction was turning to the left. He didn't have time to go and stopped right in my lane. My car hit hers on the passenger side. When we crashed, both of my air bags exploded. I thought my car was on fire because smoke was coming from the bags. My right arm and hand swelled up so big and is still painful. I think there must be medal embedded in my arm. Blood was gushing from my arm and right knee. The inch gash in my right knee was on top of my total knee replacement. This had to be stitched up. I had contusions on my chest, arm and left knee. My ribs and sternum were bruised badly. My right ankle was fractured. My car was totaled. I was taken by ambulance to emergency and stayed until june 26, 2014. I was ordered to put no weight on my right leg and was transported by ambulance to a medical rehabilitation center. Before my release from there, I developed pneumonia and could not leave until july 14, 2014. I still have to have surgery on my left knee for torn meniscus. That surgery is scheduled for september 9, 2014. My back was fractured also; however, I have not scheduled that surgery as of yet.......updated 09-03-14 *bf updated 11/26/2014

I received a recall for my 2002 honda accord in may. I scheduled an appt to take it to honda in my local town. They said it was fixed and ready to go, not even a month later my SRS came back on. I took it to my local dealer who ran tests on it and there response was "did honda even fix the recall issued?" and I said "yes they should have." anyway it seems the issue is happening again. He said to alert my company honda and file a complaint. I was also told that this is a very important recall because it can cause death. What to do? How to solve this?

I jus got into the vehicle in a parking lot along hugh howell rd reverse from out of my parking space as soon as I put the vehicle in drive I heard a loud revved coming from the engine the car then sped off I tried to stopped it but they brakes would not stop it. About 30-40ft it crashes into a guard rail. Both airbag deploy. Damage front bumper,front passenger door and left front axle.
Srs warning light came on while parked. Took vehicle to dealership, where diagnostic service showed the driver's side seat belt detection mechanism was failing to function properly. This safety system is connected to the airbags, but is not covered under warranty (per american honda and local dealer). This malfunction is a known problem, but honda will not repair/replace without charging customer, thereby putting lives and safety at risk in the name of profit.

My uncle was traveling on a state highway when his 02 honda hydroplaned on a rainy afternoon and hit head on with another vehicle. My three month old daughter sustained severe head trauma and died at the hospital a little later. Eleven days later my uncle died from severe bleeding and brain damage. Honda said nothing was wrong with this car. My daughter who was 2 at the time was a passenger along with two other cousins, they all came out fine. Now 6 years later we received a recall notice about the airbags and I'm concerned that this vehicle was not safe enough and could have been the main result in my daughters death.

1.request for an immediately recall for honda accord lx 2002 models as having dangerous transmission problems, widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (SRS ), and overall the car's safety or quality numerous concerns.

Within two days returned, but I was advised that there are no urgent problems and that only my imagination. ?key time from time do not starts or hard to remove. ?problem with a back window to close when opened it. The dealer closed it and recommended not to open it anymore. ?wheel bearings going out and car drags that cause to replace a few times tires and the brakes pads. Premature tire wear. ?ball joint it was thought in the beginning, but then a transmission or both. As of per carscomplaint.com january/2013 report it talks about subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel. ?change sensors but still ?check engine light remains? ? It shows p1166 and p1167 an air /fuel ratio sensor ? Are generally wide band o2 sensor that could be anything. Smells. ?it could be this problem with sensor & check engine light as according to the japanese automaker ?honda said the sensor wire could break and cause the air bag warning light to be illuminated and prevent the sensor from working properly. When the sensor fails, the air bag system automatically moves to full inflation pressure, which could increase the risk of injury for smaller drivers in a frontal crash?. ?finally transmission gone and my car now taking a long rest in someone's parking lot. I believe it is also a gear breakage! My core survival existence is in a great danger due to it, I have encounter numerous damages/injuries.
Your urgent response and an action needed 1.request for an immediately recall for honda accord lx 2002 models as having dangerous transmission problems, widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (SRS ), and overall the cars safety or quality numerous concerns. 2.to fix the problems and refund caused damages and personal injuries due to it, refund paid purchase cost including damages, replace to a new car with included paid and damages occurred to whom it may concern, 2002 honda accord problems & complaints carcomplaints.com notes: the 2002 honda accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (SRS). We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague. The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 90,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000. Transmission failure has been a huge problem for the accord & several other honda models all through the early 2000s model years. Honda extended the transmission warranty to 93 months/109k miles for the 2000-2001 accord as a class action lawsuit settlement, but owners of other accord model years with transmission problems are out of luck. Subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned A/C drain hose directly above that area. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000. The SRS warning light likes to come on due to a defective seat belt sensor -- typically the driver's side. This sensor is covered under honda's lifetime seat belt warranty, but some dealers charge a $100+ "diagnostic fee" or tell customers the entire SRS unit ($800) is bad.
