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.

My mother had picked up my niece from her school and was waiting for my nephew and his friend to get out of high school. When ready to go, the car was difficult to start. Took about 10 min to get the car to start. After the car started, went into reverse and backed out of the parking space. Put the car in drive and it "chugged" a couple of times. Then the car accelerated unexpectedly. She was unable to slow the car down by applying the brakes. The car traveled 460 feet accelerating the whole time.the approximate speed of the car was between 60-80 mph. At the end of the parking lot, she turned left and the car hit a curb launching them into a pole that holds up the chain link fencing around the school. They went thru the fencing and into the block wall behind it coming to rest there. All 4 occupants were seen by a doctor and released that day. My mother has numerous cuts and bruises. My nephew shoulder and back are hurting him. My niece has scrapes on the right arm from the block wall. My nephews friend has a black eye.

Have 2001 Honda Accord 4 dr sedan. (ex). For the last 3 months after purchasing gas, once my car reaches the 1/2 available gas level, the check engine and tcs lights come on. Has been checked, diagnostics run-no answer to problem. If I stop, reopen my gas cap, replace the cap and crank it around @ 3 times, after 4 restarts of engine, the lights go off on my dashboard. Do not see any defects with gas cap as far as gaskets being defective.

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. 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.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle suddenly shut off. Prior to the failure, a green light illuminated on the instrument panel. In addition, the brake and check engine indicators illuminated. The vehicle failed to move when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the failure occurred at least five times. The failure was related to the ignition switch and the vehicle was repaired. He feels it is a safety issue because a severe crash could occur due to the failure. The current and failure mileages were 75,121.

Electrical power to the car just shuts off momentarily and then all the dashboard lights will come back on. Sometimes the car will not do anything when you put the key in the ignition to start it and then suddenly it works fine. Has shut down once while driving on the freeway.

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.

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 Accord, 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.

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.

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.

: the contact stated the airbag light illuminated intermittently while the vehicle was running. No other indicators were present at the time of illumination. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem, but the dealer replaced the entire driver seat belt in a unsuccessful attempt to remedy the problem. Updated 5/23/2006 -

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.

Honda Accord 2001, noise from A/C and "maintenance" light would also flicker. The light bulb behind the digital clock was replaced, the gauges on the dashboard would illuminate, when this occurred all the gauges would drop to zero for a few seconds.

The SRS light began to come on intermittently, and then stayed on. Took the car to the dealer, and was told the entire computer module needs to be replaced. No reason given - just "thing happen". no trauma or collision leading up to the light coming on, and definitely no airbag deployment.
