Car won't start even with the key in it. Didn't have this problem before, along with the airbag light is now on. Prior to bringing the car to honda accord dealer for the other recalls none of this was a problem. Now my car makes a sound while I'm driving like a rattle sound along with the airbag light being on. The other day I started the car and only the lights and everything else turns on but the car engine won't start. It's problem after problem now that I brought it to them for recall. The vehicle was only driven to work and back from the time I took it to them. Then I hen I tried to drive it again the car wouldn't start, and airbag light is on. I took it to them and they worked on 4 things according to the recall however more things seems to be the problem and they didn't do all that.

What 2003 Honda Accord owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Takata recall while I was driving home (vehicle in motion) on paseo padre boulevard in fremont california, my airbags on the right side of the vehicle deployed unexpectedly and for no apparent reason. I was not involved in any accident that would trigger airbags to deploy. I believe the airbags deployed because they have some defective parts. I continue trying to resolve the issue with honda and they ignore me.
When braking or accelerating my seat moves slightly; which is very dangerous. It ask for a specific date however this has been happening for several months, but I put today date.
There are 20 complaints about the safety of the seats on this website, but there has been no recall. The seat slides forward when braking. This is very dangerous.
The seat will move when stopping or turning, which could be a serious safety issue. I have looked on-line and this is apparently a common problem with this model. Honda will charge to replace the seat rails. According to the on-line commentary's, this is only a temporary fix.
