| Horn functions intermittently. while driving straight ahead (normal highway driving), horn does not work. isolated the malfunction and found that the steering shaft is only intermittently grounded, and the horn requires that ground in order to function. the horn (and the steering shaft ground) operates perfectly when the key is removed from the ignition switch. it appears that something in the ignition switch is causing the loss of ground. the failure has not been repaired as of yet. | |||

| There have been several recalls for different honda vehicles with this problem: the mechanism that locks the key in the ignition while the vehicles are in gear can wear out. when that happens, drivers are able to remove keys without shifting into park. i can take the key out without the car being in park. there have been no injuries to date. i have been trying to make sure that i put the emergency brake on everytime i park my car. this has been happening with my car for several years, but it has never been included in a recall. i am not sure when it started or what the mileage of the car was when it started. i called honda today when i saw the latest recall to see if they would fix my car or if i have to wait until someone gets hurt or dies and they say to contact you because they could not just include my car in the recall. *tr | |||

| The srs light on my 2001 honda accord stays on. i have just learned that if the srs light is on, it is an indicator that the airbags will not deploy should one be in an accident. i am not pleased, to say the least. i also read that honda supposedly sent a letter to owners informing them of this defect. i have no recollection of receiving such a letter. the average cost for the repair is $700.00. i believe that honda is responsible for the defect and should repair this defect at their cost. the srs light has been on since the day i purchased my car. *tr | |||

| Purchased used vehicle in march 2006. in may 2006 i experienced an engine cutout while driving on the highway. this symptom still exists intermittently. when this happens the immobilization light also comes on. i also experience a starting problem with the car intermittently. the dash lights normally come on when the car starts. when the car does not start, the check engine light and the immobilization indicator light are both off. i've also seen instances where the other lights are off and only the check engine light is on. if i let the car sit for 10 minutes or more, it will start. i've had the car to the honda dealer service department. they checked my keys which were ok. they also replaced the main relay and the main computer and i am still having the problem. they are of no further help. *tr | |||

| One day, my srs check light came on randomly. i researched it on the internet to see what the problem may be, and i was informed that they're one of the very common problems associated with the 6th generation accords, that are caused by no real problems. honda corporation is not willing to offer a remedy about the problem, even though it involves safety issues (airbags will not deploy when the srs light is illuminated). i have to take it to the dealer now and pay $80+, just to have it checked out. if my srs needs to be replaced, as with most cases experienced by other accord owners, it will be another $700+ for replacement.. thank you for your time and attention. *jb | |||

| 2001 honda accord v6 worst of 4 honda's i have owned. replaced all electrical under drivers seat, replaced brake sensor 3 times - allows gearshift to release. rear main seal leak, transmission replaced, door lock motors replaced, led readout on odometer won't show one number, replaced the master cylinder. car has not been in accident and had to have casters on front frame adjusted so it wouldn't chew up the tires. most of this happened under warranty except for the rear main seal. this should have been a jag. *nm | |||

| On may 9 when i took my car in for service (for oil change, etc.), i mentioned to the service technician that recently the yellow maintenance light comes on while driving. when i returned the next day to pick-up my car, i was told that the technicians could not locate the problem, and therefore they just reset the maintenance light on the dashboard. while driving on may 11, the speedometer in my car sporadically dropped and then went back up again (together with the yellow maintenance light flashing over and over again). after much aggravation with this unsafe driving condition, i again brought my car back to the dealer (on may 12) -- after speaking with the assistant manager about the problem. i had to get a loaner car for the day...the technician finally located the problem that day....my car needed a totally new gauge assembly (temp gauge, speedometer, fuel gauge, etc), and i was told that this part was out of the factory warranty and would cost approximately $435.....it also would take about 1 week to order. even the service tech's indicated that usually this part only wears out after the car is about 10 to 15 yrs old. as i drove my car on may 19, all gauges in the dash assembly were improperly working -- they (speedometer, etc.) registered at 0 as i drove and the gas tank gauge dropped to e (even though i had recently filled the tank)....definitely a driving hazard! after using my car for 3 days in this unsafe driving mode, i was finally told by the dealer on may 22 that the gauge assembly had arrived. i had to pay $370.86 to have this part installed on may 22. i cannot believe that a gauge assembly that is so crucial for safety while driving would not be covered by the honda corporation. please let me know what can be done about this situation. if you need any further info, let me know. thank you. *nm | |||

| On 4 seperate occasions, i have been driving the car under 35 mph, when the instruments on the dashboard lit up and the car lost all power including the power steering. today i was almost rear ended when it happened. all the events have been within the last year. i have also noticed that the radio has been skipping stations the last several days. the instrument panel that controls the clock does not work at longer. the most concerning issue is losing power as i'm driving, wondering if the person behind me is going to stop after applying the brakes and putting on my emergency signals. i am not the first person that have had this problem with the 2001 model. someone needs to look into the situation to determine what is causing the problem and issue a notice before someone dies when the car loses power. | |||

| My 2001 honda accord has some engine shut off problem which i have had the dealer look at and they did not find any problems. i have had a friend that has had the same problem and it turned out to be the ignition switch, but his car is a 1999 honda accord. he then showed me this recall on his car about it. the recall read, ake : honda model : accord year : 1999 manufacturer : american honda motor co. nhtsa campaign id number : 02v120000 recall date : may 13, 2002 component: electrical system:ignition:switch potential number of units affected : 1000000 summary: on certain sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, and sport utility vehicles, electrical contacts in the ignition switch can degrade due to the high electrical current passing through the switch when the vehicle is started. consequence: worn contacts could cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. remedy: dealers will replace the ignition switch. owner notification began june 14, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009 or acura at 1-800-382-2238. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/results.cfm as of today the car has not yet been fixed because the dealer told me that they have to see and have the problem happen to them. i don't know when it will happen, after it happens the car won't start and when it sits for a little bit it starts up. so buy the time the dealer look at it ,it is running fine. over time it is just getting worse and more frequently. i have should them this recall and they have told me that all good but they cant do anything with it with out seeing it for themselves. so at this point i have to live with it. because if i fix it myself i will cancel my extended auto warranty. trenton fisher. *nm | |||

| I have had my 2001 honda accord for about 7 years and only recently had problems with it. first, my alarm system has been malfunctioning. the alarm will go off every so often for no reason, especially at night disturbing the neighborhood. i have to go run to the window to try to turn off the alarm. i took it to the dealer to have a $100 diagnostic test only to tell me that my alarm system was the problem (something i already knew), and it would cost another $300 to fix. second, the srs light came on and will not come off. i took my car to the dealer and it would cost $100 for a diagnostic test, which will probably tell me what i already know, and probably cost another couple hundred to fix. i have researched this problem and have found many complaints regarding this issue. this problem needs to be addressed, especially for the safety of the consumers. there should be a recall for this car. *tr | |||

| Instrument panel light will go out while i'm driving and i can't see the speedometer or the lights on the shifter (located in the middle near console).this is very distracting and stressful. it takes me 35 to 40 min. to drive to work, sometimes the lights go out after 15 min. other times they don't. it is still dark in the morning when i leave so i have to use a flashlight to keep my eye on the speedometer. i also noticed my gas was very low one time and i suddenly realized my warning light never turned on. this feature is also affected. i have driven on bumpy roads and they don't turn off, smooth they do and they don't. i never know when it will happen as most of the time i drive in the daytime. all other lights work fine. dealer could not make it repeat after having it there a whole day. after i told them that it was hard to see the dash light go out during the day time. they kept it another day to check it out again. i was told the next day it had a short. that it was going to cost me over 500.00 dollars to fix. ( i went online to check 2001 honda accord recalls) i told them that other models of the 2001 honda accords were doing the same thing and there had been recalls for them, why can't they work with me if mine is doing the same thing? i trusted the honda name and i feel this is a safety issue. this should not be happening. they just basically said sorry, we can't fix every car that has a problem for free. the government makes the rules, if they want to recall your model, they will have to do it. this was the service supervisor. i don't believe i should be responsible for this problem. how could i have prevented this? the service manager made me believe there was nothing they could do. i told them it was unsafe to drive like this but that i'd see what i could do to get the money to get it fixed. unfortunately i am still financially unable. i just don't drive at night. *nm | |||
