| 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 my car battery died last year, i took the vehicle to my dealership for replacement. the service technician called to tell me the car was ready but asked if i had noticed if my safety restraint system light had been on. i said it had not prior to the new battery being installed. the service technician told me he didn't want to charge me to diagnose the problem, and suggested i wait and see if it self-corrected. he said that the light being on could mean my airbags would not deploy in an accident. the light remained on and several months later i took the car in for scheduled service i asked them to again look at it. they charged me $92.00 to perform an input function test which showed srs control unit failure and informed me repairs would cost $616.00. the car is now out of warranty, but the service technician kindly informed me that if it was the seatbelt that had broken they could of fixed it no charge even if the car was out of warranty. i declined the repair and looked online only to find many accord drivers have had the same issue, and each dealer charges a different amount for repair. this is a safety issue, not something normal wear and tear could cause to malfunction, nor could a driver cause this control unit to malfunction. *jb | |||

| On august 1, 2009, our parked 2002 honda accord lx rolled off the parking lot and struck a vehicle parked on the other side before being stopped by the curb. there was an apparent failure of the ignition park switch interlock that allowed the ignition key to be removed from the ignition switch while the transmission was not shifted to park. the transmission was found to be in neutral after the crash. as a result of the crash, there was extensive damage to the front of our vehicle and lesser damage to the side of the vehicle. the total cost to repair the vehicle was $2609. the vehicle that was struck also needed repair. it sustained damage to the rear bumper and tail lights. upon learning of other hondas having this problem and being recalled, i contacted honda manufacturer whose representative checked the vin number of our vehicle and informed me the recall didn't apply to 2002 honda accords. i then spoke to a nhtsa representative who informed me the recall did apply to some 2002 honda accords but that it was vin-specific. i then spoke to a second honda representative who agreed it applied to some 2002 honda accords but that it was vin-specific and it didn't apply to our car. i am perplexed that my car was not part of the recall even though it has the exact same problem as other honda accords that were recalled. the ignition switch problem has not been repaired yet and is available for inspection. thank you for your attention to this matter. *tr | |||

| The immobilizer system has shutdown the vehicle 3 times. the first time was in september approximately 1 week after purchase. the second and third times were on october 14. while driving northbound on 95 on oct. 14th the immobilizer light came on and the engine shutdown creating a very hazardous situatiion for me and other drivers. the immobilizer activated again, this time while on the capital beltway. on this occasion i was almost rear ended by an 18 wheeler. the very first time the immobilizer activated it was approximately one week after purchase. the mechanics at pohanka advised they could find no problem but, that they have seen this problem many times before. the vehicle is currently in the shop and they are running diagnostics, but i assume nothing will be found this time either. i have talked to other honda owners and several of them have also experienced this problem. i believe something is drastically wrong with the immobilizer system and is creating a very dangerous situation. *ak | |||
