I have an complaint in reference to the 2002 honda accord. I have been doing some research on this make and model , and have found that many owners are having the same issues with the srs light on the honda accord. We are being charged to fix or replace this issue,after clearly seeing that this is another flaw produced by the honda motors company, if you may look into the srs light issue on the 2002 honda accord…

I did not have an accident. I am reporting honda because they lied to me and said my car was not on the recall list. About 2 months after the airbag recall became public i called them to ask if my car was on the recall. I was instantly told it was not. I just today went to this site online and looked it up and find it is. I believe honda was involved in a deliberate cover-up. *tr

I was informed over a year ago my current auto received an air bag "fix" to the air bag activator during a normal service call and has no longer any air bag recalls. My car year and model is listed into the current takata air bag replacement recalls, but honda refuses to tell me if my car has this air bag. The activator fix is not what the takata air bag issue is about! It's the metal fragments hitting the driver. I…

While visiting a dealer to catch up on recalls, its computer and website both show the 2001-2002 accord driver airbag recall from 2011 as fixed; since the last time i was at a (original, different) dealer was 5/10 this is impossible. I am concerned that after a certain period customers who did not attend to the recall are automatically marked as fixed. Fwiw i had an accident in 2007 and the passenger airbag deployed…

The air bags on my 2002 honda accord were recalled 6 months ago because they apparently could explode and kill passengers with shrapnel if they go off in an accident. I have been waiting months for honda to replace with air bags with no resolution in sight. Culver city honda in los angeles, ca keeps telling me they aren't able to get the new parts shipped in because of the port strike in los angeles. There are other…

I slowed down at a traffic light and my car was rear ended by another car who failed to apply the brakes and/or may have hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. The car has been deemed a total loss as the car chassis seems to be crumpled. What i find very surprising is that neither the seat belts tighten nor the air bags were deployed despite being hit so hard. I was wondering what may have been the reason and what…

Car was headed west in the left lane of a four lane highway. A big suv headed in the opposite direction was turning to the left. He didn't have time to go and stopped right in my lane. My car hit hers on the passenger side. When we crashed, both of my air bags exploded. I thought my car was on fire because smoke was coming from the bags. My right arm and hand swelled up so big and is still painful. I think there…

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…
