Honda had the main brake line with hydraulic fluid burst causing accident. pushed on brake pedal went straight to floor and did not stop. was working fine the day before, pumping brake pedal was uselesss. car was heading for another vehicle so i drove off the road, speed was about 30mph when i ended in a median strip.
My car passenger side subframe is rusted out. i just replaced tires and now the car is unable to drive due to safety concern. i found out this when my car was vibrate a lot during on the road. when i come home, i jacked up the car and inspected the wheel and front chassis. i saw the rust is very bad, it can be seen in the pictures i submit below. the subframe basically separated, it will cause another thousand of dollars to replace the frame. mechanics toll me that the subframe should not be rust like that. it is the basic integrity of the car safety for any car, it should last a life time of the car as long as you own it. i am hope that honda should recall this rust issue. it is hard enough to owned an old car and try to keep it on the road.
I bought a honda accord from my nieghboor for 900 dollars and when i took it in for an oil change the did a inspection and found out that the passenger side subframe is totally rotted out but on the drivers side is still intact the car was unsafe to drive and replacement costs over 1,200 dollars to replace the car has over 228,000 miles on it but the mechanic said that its hanging on by a tread and overtime the suspension could collapse leading to a crash
I have a 2000 honda accord. it runs fine but, the other nite it locked me in. on the driver's side and i could not get out, i am disabled with a back injury. and this is not acceptable. if i were in a wreck it could have been worse. but, then 2 days later the car locked me in on both sides. i could not get out. my boyfriend finally got me out on the passenger side, but its been 3 days now and they can still not get my car undone on the driver's side. they have taken door panel apart and everything, still can't get it to open.( it was stationary when trying to unlock it)
Car shuts off while driving. no check engine light comes on. usually starts back up. my research indicates ignition switch which i have found honda has had recalled in the past
When in motion vehicle transmission slips terribly and is difficult to shift. car only has 100,000 miles on it. also air bag lights are always on. steering wheel also locked on the car.
Srs indicator light came on and stayed on. took vehicle in to honda dealership and they said "scanner test found no communication with air bag module."
The "srs" light is on in the dashboard. it has been determined that the passenger seat belt latch is faulty. it is dangerous to ride a passenger in this vehicle for fear that the seat belt would not work properly if the vehicle was in an accident or just hit by another driver. please advise on the repair procedures. the pixels on the mileage and miles driven is not working properly. the mileage and miles drives numbers cannot be read.
The honda accord after being returned to myself, had an entire back portion of the vehicle catch fire. it took about 8 coffee pots full of water to douse the flame with before the fire was extinguished in the car port near the side of my home.

I have pictures "images" from my small camera taken the same day of vehicle fire. the vehicle appeared as well to be missing an "engine cap?" of some sort after having been at an automotive shop for about a day.
The sub frame on the passenger side of the vehicle is rusted out. the rust is below the ac drain hose. the vehicle is unsafe to operate. the dealer gave me an estimate of $2200 for the repair. no damage/rust on drivers side where a/c does not drain. the mileage is 158,080. also see srs light.
Subframe/cradle rusted through on the passenger side due to manufacturers routing of air conditioner condensation onto subframe. no damage/rust on drivers side where a/c does not drain. around $400 in parts and over $700 in work.
The a/c drain drips on the engine frame beam / cross member causing them to rust. they are now broken in two. later models were supplied with a drain tube to re-route the condensation away from the beams eliminating this concern.
Clicking noise was coming from front suspension area. car was inspected by a local mechanic and stated that there was a water leak from the air conditioner condenser onto the passenger side of the front subframe. as a result, the subframe fractured on the passenger side. the mechanic stated that the subframe was rusted and fractured. the front subframe needed to be replaced. mechanic stated that the car was unsafe to drive as it could have resulted in severe injuries/death. contacted american honda on 7-15-15 to get a goodwill repair since this is a common issue with other owners as a result of manufacture defect. amal, the representative in the product concerns department stated that it is honda's policy not to issue goodwill since the car is out of warranty and is 15 years old. honda - not everyone can afford brand new cars!!! your reputation has been to produce safe, dependable vehicles, but your lack of actual "customer support" shows otherwise. i was shocked to see that in 2012 this issue was brought to the public's attention including the safety regulators, http://www.newsnet5.com/news/local-news/investigations/center-for-auto-safety-requesting-recall-of-1-5-million-honda-accords-for-rust-issue-in-sub-frame. i urge nhtsa to do the right thing and represent us consumers by having honda issue a recall for this defect. please do something asap before people get hurt and we have another fiasco, i.e., gm ignition, takata airbags.
Severe sub-frame rust issue on front passenger side of car frame. very similar condition as identified in a october 12, 2012, cleveland, ohio television station investigation. please see the web site listed below. http://www.newsnet5.com/news/local-news/investigations/center-for-auto-safety-requesting-recall-of-1-5-million-honda-accords-for-rust-issue-in-sub-frame
After having the vehicle in "reverse" to get into a stall parking space on the street, it was shifted into "drive". while being in "drive" and tapping on the gas pedal, the vehicle went in "reverse" uncontrollably. the brakes did not respond. in an attempt to avoid reversing into a wall, the vehicle turned and crashed into a parked vehicle. the impact potentially injured a women that was standing behind the impacted vehicle talking with someone.
To whom it may concern, through this letter, i wish to inform you of my disagreement with the evaluation of the air bags in my 2000 honda accord. i was involved in an accident and the air bags did not deploy to protect me. when i addressed my concern to the dalton agency, i was informed that the service manager, manuel pez navarro and the head of mechanics, jorge cardenas only do oil change and filters. they advised if i wanted to know why the air bags did not function correctly, that i should pay a technician $600.00 pesos to connect a scanner to my car to see if there is an error in the system, an error that may have been there from the beginning when the car was assembled. please understand that the factory invoice for my auto specifies that it has air bags at the highest security level. that is why i?ve taken my car to be service regularly at the dalton agency to keep all warranties in place. i placed my trust in the agency, in the honda company and in the global brand and feel that i have been misled about service and quality. i am totally disappointed by the lack of concern from individual lives. the trauma, injury and rehabilitation after the accident has been terrible, least having to deal with you has caused unnecessary frustration and fear. knowing that the air bag situation has been called a simple mistake or accident does not help my dilemma. luckily i am alive today, but a few centimeters could have made a big difference and caused a tragic story. what has happened to me could have happen to anyone else, especially someone having a hard time in life. please consider taking responsibility and do the ?right thing?. i?m attaching pictures and copies of all documents for your review and providing the following information: license plate #: 124-ppu service history: 2001 ? present service agency: honda dalton polanco de mxico, d.f.
2000 v6 honda accord died without warning at a stoplight and since then it has become more frequent over shorter and shorter time periods/distances. during the first few several occurrences like this it just died either while stopped or while running but could be re-started by putting car into park gear and re-starting. no warning, no sputtering, no shaking and so on prior to any of the dying. the only indication it has died is the dash panel indicator lights would all be on as though the car was just being started. during re-start the dash panel lights would be lit like they should be just prior to starting. now as of yesterday the pattern has changed to still dies and the dash panel lights come on but when you shift to park and then try to re-start none of the dash panel lights come on and all you hear is the cranking of the engine but not starting. eventually after a few minutes (1-5 minutes) of being off you could then re-start the car and the dash panel lights would light up prior to the re-start like they should. unfortunately toward the end of yesterday that pattern again changed to where the lights would not come on during the attempt to re-start even after 40 minutes. i called honda on 06/18/2013 and spoke to an agent and told her that i believe this is the same issue that honda had a recall for dealing with the ignition switch under recall#:36754 in the usa and also another in canada for the identical issue my accord is demonstrating. honda seems to want to hid behind the idea that if my vin is not in the recall then i am out of luck. this is a life threatening driving condition the car dies while moving without warning. i am sure they are other owners with this same issue (web is full of owners decreeing this issue) that have just had car repaired but never filed report here to bring issue to your organization's attention. *tr
2000 honda accord. consumer writes in regards to recall report . *smd the consumer provided a list of recalls. however, she was informed they did not apply to her vehicle. updated 06/26/14
A light engine came on from nowhere, took the car to a mechanic to check it out, it appears to be a transmetion codes. since then having trouble shifting.
I started my car and put it in reverse in a parking garage as i was attempting to exit the garage. the car accelerated while i was in reverse, slamming into two parked vehicles. the car then accelerated forward, slamming into a concrete column and coming to a rest. i attempted to slam on my brakes but the car would not stop. it felt like my accelerator was stuck rather than a problem with the brakes.

Engine check light came on for the second time within a year. the first time i was told that the computer was too sensitive and they had to order a new computer - wait was approx 3-4 months. this happened at 3600 miles and was covered under warranty. less than a year later the engine check light came on, and the dealer told me it was oxygen sensor and it had to be replaced. the emission control system is unreliable for this to happen within 53k miles.*ak
Engine check light appears on dashboard. dealership is aware of problem. *ak
1st time dealer stated bad gas for car jerking when trying to accelerate and engine check light was on - fixed problem. 2nd time (next day) car repeated same problem - another dealer stated bad gas and loose wire - fixed problem 3rd time same dealer stated needed new top dead center sensor. sensor had malfunctioned. i know too many people who had the same problem and continue to even after getting fixed repeatedly. i am scared to drive my new car - not even a year old. *ak
