When I utilize my mirror lights when I have the headlights on.. The head circuit will short out , and I will not be able to see how fast I am driving in the night which is a serious safety risk problem.
Takata recall: this vehicle was bought in the USA and sent to greece for use there. We have been trying to correct the air bag issue for several years working with honda america but there have been no results. The honda dealership in greece is constantly lying about ordering the parts, no written documentation is ever given to state the parts are ordered, or not in, etc. We've had to get a rental this past summer because of the safety issue. Several letters have been sent to honda america as well as phone calls and we are being ignored on all ends! What are our rights in this matter? How can we get them to respond and take some definitive action? Can we sue? This car also has a recall on an ignition problem.
Took my car to dealer to fix just the airbag issue but got my car back with broken starter relay even if I jump start my car it wont crank
My requires the switch recall done dealer says its not covered by the VIN. I took it into the dealer as honda recommend I marked the cover with clear tape .they claimed to look at it but didn't. They did get the description of the issue right on the job card. So I did the research I'm ase tech for 15yrs and found honda document and performed inspection and found that recall should have been done on this car. I went to dealer and got the part listed in the document and compared it to the original and found them to be as described even the materials used on the construction were different and improved on the new parts. I think honda is lying about how many of these switches are faulty.
My vehicle is rolling over when the ignition is turned off (and key removed) and the transmission in neutral. Honda is not responding to this matter properly.

It has been brought to my attention that honda had a recall in march 2005 on the 2002 honda accord for ignition park interlock. I checked the car by leaving it in drive, turned off engine and removed key - car then began to roll backwards. This is what the recall was for. Since the VIN numbers didn't match what honda determined to be faulty, they now say that it isn't their responsibility. I am confused how this is a safety issue for some cars but not ours. Because it wasn't listed within the range of VIN numbers according to honda? Seems like it should have been.
My car is completely unsafe to drive. It stalls while driving. It has stopped on highways, busy intersections, daytime-nightime. Honda dealership as well as other repair shops have told me that nothing shows up on their electrical tests. They test drive and it doesn't happen. The car will go 2 -3 between occurences, but it happens. The ignition switch has been replaced. Presently, the car is a death trap at 125,000 mileage. I have read that this happens to other hondas. If this is true, this warrants a recall. The hood on my accord does not close. There has been a problem with this for several months.

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?

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.

Srs light stays on. Seat belts were replaced and warning light reset,but came on after a couple of miles. Now there is a recall on the air bag inflators, but the seat belt control module, which activates the inflators is defective, and not covered under any update or recall program. I understand that the air bags will not deploy in a crash if the SRS light is on. This is a fairly common problem and in my opinion should be covered under a federally mandated safety recall with no charge to the consumer.

My transmission does not engage in drive when in the cold weather. After the car and restarting it starts working but check engine light was on. I took the car to the honda dealer and they called honda service dept. Supposedly, my ecu is faulty and needs replacement. But my transmission could also need replacement after fixing my ecu. Now I am afraid driving my car thinking what if transmission fails while I am on the highway. My transmission has already failed once at around 40,000 miles in 2005. I thought it was a one-time thing and got the repair done at that time. Unfortunately, my model accord v6 2002 was never the part of honda transmission recalls despite having exactly same problem. Also, I do not trust honda check engine light codes. For years my SRS light for passenger seat belt was always on. Everytime dealer told me that I ecu has failed. After driving my car for 5 years with unsafe conditions, honda finally had a recall of SRS module and now it the light is gone. With the same ecu.

When we purchased this 2002 honda accord ex in march of 2010 the clock backlight did not work. About 2 months ago the gear shift console backlight went out. The only way we know at night what gear we are in is to view it on the dash. Now the backlighting for the climate controls has gone out. We understand that this has been a problem for many years now and there has been very little positive help from honda. To get this fixed I understand that the whole radio must be replaced because of the interlocking electrical systems at a cost somewhere around $1000.00.
While driving the vehicle, the engine just quits. There is no stuttering, stalling, or engine misfires, it quietly just quits. The radio, AC/heater fan, brake lights still work but not the signal lights,windows, instrument panel. After researching the internet on this issue, faulty ignition switch keeps coming up.
Ignition key can be removed from the ignition when gear shift is not in the "parked" position. Therefore, vehicle is able to roll when driver exits vehicle, resulting in damage and/or injury.
