1997 Honda Accord

SRS DASH BOARD LIGHT IS 'ON' AND WILL NOT TURN-OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE F DEALER REPAIRED IT FOR FREE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRENTY. WHEN I APPROACHED THE DEALER ABOUT THE SECOND FAILURE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ONLY WARRENTY THE REPAIR FOR ONE YEAR - THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE ONE YEAR WARRENTY EXPIRED. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED COMPLAINTS WITH NHTSA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE. *AK

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2000. AS CERTIFIED VEHICLE FROM DEALERSHIP,, CERTIFIED FOR SAFETY INSPECTIONS 150 POINT? I NOTICED WHEN TEST DRIVING VEHICLE. FRONT OF VEHICLE HAD SEVERE VIBRATION, I NOTICED THAT THE TIRES WERE LOW ON AIR PRESSURE. PROBLEM CONTINUED, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIME TO RESOLVE THE MATTER. AT THE TIME OF SALE THE INSPECTION WAS TO BE FINAL. I LATER FOUND OUT THE INSPECTION WAS NEVER COMPLETED PROPERLY, THER ARE TWO ACTIVE TITLES CURRENTLY ON VEHICLE, OHIO AND CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA IS NOW SALVAGED TITLE AS OF 2/04/2001. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIME REGARDING THE FINDINGS ON THE BUMPER COVER THAT HAD MEDICAL TAPE HOLDING THE SIDE SECURE FASTNERS TOGETHER. AND BUMPER COVER OUT OF ALLIGNMENT. RADIATOR SUPPORT HAD BEEN BUCKLED AND NOT REPAIRED CORRECTLY, PRIMER ON THE INSIDE OF RIGHT FRONT HOOD, HEAD L IGHT ASSEMBLY UNIT NOT COMPLETE AND OUT OF ALLIGNMENT, UNEVEN TIRE WEAR, NO OWNERS MANUAL, TIRES SWITCHED AT TIME ALLIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED BY DEALERSHIP, DEALERSHIP RENTED VEHICLE FOR 10 DAYS., DEALERSHIP REPRESENTED PREFERRED BODY SHOP AMERICAN AUTOBODY AND PAINT AS BOAR OFFICIAL THAT WAS MISREPRESENTATION, CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AS WELL AS HONDA CARE REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AND DEALERSHIP? I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHAT THE CERTIFICATION APPLIED TO? IT WAS TO BE WARRANTIED JUST LIKE A NEW VEHICLE..VEHICLE WARRANTY DOCS WERE INCOMPLETE AND NOT VOLUNTARILY SUBMITTED? DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEE PUSHED HUSBAND AGAINST WALL? NO OWNERS MANUAL? MICHELLON WARRANTY CAME WITH VEHICLE DOCS. BUT AT TIME OF ALLIGNMENT FEDERAL TIRES WERE REPLACED WITHOUT WARRANTY? I WAS TOLD THE NEW TIRES WERE MAGICAL? I TOTALLED THE VEHICLE AND LATER FOUND ON CCC REPORT FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY, THAT VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUS DAMAGE DONE.. AND ALL THE ABOVE PROBLEM PERTAINING TO PREVIOUS DAMAGE?*AK

ENGINE DIED WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND COULD NOT FIND CAUSE OF PROBLEM. CONSUMER HAD THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 3 MORE TIMES. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID IGNITER NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. CONSUMER COULD NOT AFFORD, AND DISTRIBUTOR WAS CHANGED. BUT, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WHEN VEHICLE DIES CONSUMER LOSES POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES GET HARD. *AK

THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY CAR IS DEFECTIVE, CAUSING THE SRS SYSTEM TO BE INACTIVE. HONDA STATES THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND THAT IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY PART. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE AROUND THE COUNTRY MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHAT GOOD IS A SAFETY FEATURE IF THE MANUFACTURER WON'T WARRANT IT FOR MORE THAN 4 YEARS? *AK
