2002 Honda Accord EX v6 from North America - Comments

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Minor problems, squeak in dash and radio controls only work half of the time. Recently I had a serious problem, the air bad deployed while driving causing a serious accident. I should have known something was going to happen; the dealer had tried to fix the "srs" problem 8 times with no success. I contacted Honda many times with no luck. I’m lucky no children were in my car and that I wasn’t on the highway. Honda makes good cars, but when they have a lemon they do nothing. I’m really sorry this happened. I'm usually the first on to defend in a car debate, not any more. This will be the last Honda I ever purchase.

General comments?

Best car for the money in 2002, when compared to Nissan Altima, Camry and any others in the price range.

Which airbag did your car deployed? And also, which light was ON in your dash, the SRS or the SIDE AIRBAG?

My car momentarily (after driving a while with passenger) lights up the SIDE AIRBAG light for a second or two. I didn't pay attention to it, but since I read your comment I am kind of worried. Please give me more information about your incident and how to deal with Honda about it.

That is scary. I had an 02 Accord Coupe that the airbag light would illuminate on from time to time. Glad I did not get an explosive surprise in the face. Hopefully you did not get injured in the accident.

I would recommend doing an NTSB report on your car. With an accident involved due to sudden deployment of the airbag, the NTSB might be quite interested.
