2002 Honda Accord EX v6 Coupe review from North America

"Honda Headache"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The SRS light randomly pops on. The dealer asked me if I had a cell phone on the seat. I didn’t. Sounds like a problem if a cell phone can set off a SRS light. They have replaced the alternator twice, SRS control module 3 times. I even had the entire gauge cluster replaced and the mileage reads 0, but I have a sticker in the door jam stating the mileage. The light still comes on. I asked the dealer if I were to get into an accident would the airbags go off, he replied “wear a seatbelt”. I called Honda many times with no reply. I have contacted a lemon attorney. The brakes went out at 20,000. $400 for new pads all around at the dealer. Small complaint, but still annoying: The steering wheel controls only work half of the time. The plastic creaks by the windshield over bumps. The shocks squeak over bumps when it is cold. The trunk plastic broke that covers the solenoid. The dealer told me the plastic broke because I put luggage in the trunk, what the heck is a trunk for?

General comments?

I searched on the internet, apparently I'm not the only one with the SRS problem. I bought the top of the line EXv6 accord fully loaded thinking it would be reliable.. Not so much. MY 10 year old Acura legend was better built than this accord. At the time I couldn’t find a better new car for the money.. For used by an Acura TL. My parents have one and I love it.
