"It's a nice car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Regular maintenance of changing oil, tires, brake pads and rotors.

SRS light came on just couple weeks ago.

General comments?

Only getting 24mph on highway, that does not seem right. The car handles pretty good. Other than the SRS light, haven't had any issues.

How are you driving your car. I found when I drive my V6 hard the mileage is low. Are you getting 24 with mixed mileage. I got mine when I was 17 and I was getting 27 with highway and alittle traffic. On a recent trip from Minnesota to Michigan I was able to get around 30-32 MPG. That is of course because I drove the speed limit of 65 through Wisconsin and Illinois.

The SRS light is a failed SRS computer. It is mounted in your passenger seat. Honda has recalled the computer, so the repair should be free, it was for me.

Like the previous commenter mentioned, the mileage depends on how you drive the car. I regularly drive my V6 '01 Accord about 400-500 miles/wk and get about 24-25 mpg combined with about 50% highway driving. I do drive it hard however also. I went on a trip from Washington to Phoenix this summer and on one tank got 34 mpg!! Not bad for 80-85 mph and consistent altitudes on the way down of 5000' +.

I don't think that it's considered a recall yet, but the SRS light that keeps on lighting on is in the warranty since March 2006, and it says something like extended the repair warranty for 10 years or 150000 miles, which ever one comes first, so whoever have this problem should get it fixed soon; the link is here http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/defect/results.cfm?action_number=PE05043&SearchType=QuickSearch&summary=true

And this is where I got it from some person http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.efdf921/826

I just recently did the research because the light is annoying me. Oh yeah, and the Accord is a beautiful smooth ride.
