Unknown SRS alarm appears, dealer confirmed 1-1, 1-2 error code meaning driver airbag issue. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 20V026000 RECALL DATE: 2020-01-21 Mentioned active airbag recall for 2000 Honda Civic. Tried looking on NHTSA site and Honda site for free repair but nothing showed up. I am concerned that the driver airbag is not safe.

On October 16, 2021, my wife drove the car on the way home, then there was a sudden sound (like a huge fan) and a rough vibration from the engine. The battery light turned on. Then she had a hard time steering the wheel. It was really stiff. She made very wide turns, occupying multiple spaces and lanes. She can't totally control the car. When we arrived home, we popped the hood and found out that all the 3 belts in the engine were off. We just called our insurance today Oct 17 to have it towed to our mechanic. This car passed state inspection last Aug 2022 and we were able to take off 1 belt which seems to be in good condition. We also had 1 belt replaced last 2020.

RECEIVED NOTICE AND MADE APPT TO REPAIR BACK IN AUGUST 2020. HONDA DID NOT HAVE PART TO REPAIR. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIME SINCE AUGUST AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WILL CALL ME BACK HERE WE ARE JUST ABOUT MARCH 2021 AND STILL MY HONDA IS NOT REPAIRED CAR IS STILL BEING USED ANY INFO YOU CAN GIVE ME WILL BE APPRECIATED [XXX] THANK YOU INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

HONDA SENT ME A LETTER IN THE MAIL TELLING ME MY CAR'S DRIVER AIRBAG MAY NOT BE WORKING CORRECTLY. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR IT YET AND THAT THEY WOULD REACH OUT WHEN THEY HAD THEM. THAT WAS IN MARCH AND NOW IT'S AUGUST. IT'S ALMOST A HALF YEAR NOW THAT I'VE BEEN DRIVING A CAR THAT MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE A WORKING AIR BAG IN IT. I'VE CALLED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES ASKING ABOUT IT AND THEY JUST SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THEM AND THEY CAN'T EVEN GIVE ME A TIME FRAME FOR WHEN THEY MIGHT. THIS IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A RECALL ON THE DRIVER AIRBAG. THEY WON'T EVEN GIVE ME ANY OPTIONS TO STAY SAFE OTHER THAN DON'T DRIVE THE CAR.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC WAS INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL, BUT HONDA HAS OFFERED NO REMEDY. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, MY CAR WAS RECALLED. BECAUSE OF THE CAR'S HISTORY, THE AIR BAG INFLATOR IS MORE LIKELY THAN AVERAGE TO KILL ME IF IT ACTIVATES (EXPLODES). THE DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA (THERE ARE SEVERAL) CANNOT OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS...NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM...FOR 18 TO 24 MONTHS. THIS DELAY IS DUE TO MANUFACTURING ISSUES AND THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. MY CAR IS NOT DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE INSTALLATION OF AN ON/OFF SWITCH FOR THE AIR BAGS. THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE EXPLODER DISABLED UNTIL REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. NONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA WILL DO THIS, WITHOUT WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION FROM THE NHTSA. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FINS A WAY TO ASK THE NHTSA TO SEND ME A WRITTEN DEACTIVATION AUTHORIZATION. ALSO...THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NEED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THIS (DISABLING THE BOMB IN MY STEERING WHEEL) CAN BE DONE WITHOUT AFFECTING THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CAR. I WOULD NEED APPROVED DIRECTIONS FROM THE NHTSA TO GIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP'S MECHANICS. ALTERNATELY, I CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR ON A DAILY BASIS, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ACTIVE, DEADLY, EXPLOSIVE DEVICE...FOR THE NEXT 18 TO 24 MONTHS. *TR

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM HONDA FOR NHTSA RECALL 20V-027 ON MARCH 18, 2020 THAT STATES THAT HONDA IS UNABLE TO INSPECT/REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. I EMAILED THEM AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD PROVIDE ME WITH A FREE (SAFE) LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THEY COULD FIX MY UNSAFE VEHICLE. THEY CALLED ME ON THE PHONE TODAY, MARCH 24, 2020 (1-888-234-2138) AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE, AND THAT THEY WERE SORRY, BUT THE REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE MIGHT TAKE ANOTHER YEAR FROM TODAY. I DON'T FIND THIS ACCEPTABLE, THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT MIGHT INJURE OR KILL ME.....FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

ACCORDING TO NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 20V-027, MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT, IF DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT, COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL ME. HONDA STATES THAT FREE RECALL INSPECTIONS AND FREE REPAIRS WILL NOT BEGIN FOR ONE YEAR, AS ALTERNATIVE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO UNTIL THEN? I TRAVEL AROUND 200 MILES WEEKLY FOR WORK, AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. I FEEL LIKE I'M RISKING MY LIFE EVERY TIME I STEP IN MY CAR NOW. WOULD I BE BETTER OFF JUST REMOVING THE AIRBAG MYSELF?

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAMS ON THE CAR DO NOT WORK EVEN THOUGH THE HIGH BEAMS WILL WORK. IT SEEMS SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE 2001 & 2002 HONDA CIVICS. THE FUESES IN THE CAR SEEM TO WORK FINE AND EVEN WHEN A NEW BULB IS INSTALLED THE LOW BEAMS ONLY WORK FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE LOW BEAMS STOP WORKING.

WHILE DRIVING AT BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY CONDITIONS CAR WILL LOSE ALL POWER AND SHUT DOWN AND COAST TO A STOP.. WILL START UP AGAIN AFTER 5 TO10 EFFORTS TO START. THIS IS INTERRMITTENT PROBLEM. YOU CANNOT PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN OR HOW OFTEN IT WILL OCCUR.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE CAR, WEATHER RELATED ACCIDENT. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MILES PER HOUR IN HEAVY SNOW. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT WHICH CAME UNLATCHED UPON INITIAL IMPACT WITH A GUARD RAIL ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. MY CAR THEN CROSSED THE ROAD AND WENT INTO A DITCH, STRIKING SOME LARGE BOULDERS. THAT IMPACT WAS ON THE FRONT, DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE CAR WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED AND DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS INJURED WITH A BROKEN RIGHT ARM, BROKEN RIGHT LEG, NINE BROKEN RIBS AND SIGNIFICANT LACERATIONS TO MY HEAD AND RIGHT EAR FROM IMPACTING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND FRONT WINDSHIELD. I SPENT 12 DAYS IN A CRITICAL CARE UNIT AND 18 DAYS IN A REHABILITATION CENTER FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY. I HAD TO HAVE PLATES AND SCREWS INSTALLED IN MY LEG AND ARM TO REPAIR THE BROKEN BONES. MY HUSBAND INSPECTED AND TESTED THE DRIVER SEATBELT AND WHILE IT DID APPEAR TO HOLD ON SOME SOLID LATCHES OF THE BELT, WAS ABLE TO OBSERVE IT FAIL AND COME UNLATCHED AFTER HEARING A SOLID CLICK/LATCH SOUND AND THEN PULLING WITH HAND STRENGTH ON THE BELT HAVING IT COME UNLATCHED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2000 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE DRIVER REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND HER AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN A TIMELY MANNER. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S HEAD STRUCK THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. WHEN IT DEPLOYED, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG CAUSED SKIN ABRASIONS ON THE LEFT FOREARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,589.

CAR SHUTS DOWN- EGINE DIES AND ALL ELECTRICAL. THIS HAPPENS WHILE CAR IS GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I SEE THERE WAS/IS A RECALL FROM HONDA ON THIS ISSUE. TRYING TO DETERMINE IF STILL IN EFFECT. BOUGHT CAR FROM ORIGINAL OWNER

CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD- I SEE THERE WAS/IS A RECALL BY HONDA OF A DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH

CRACKING OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AT LESS THAN 140,000 MILES

CAR IS SLUGGISH UP HILLS AND IS NOW STALLING AROUND TURNS WITH POWER STEERING GOING OFF. CAR IS A 5SPEED AND WHEN PUT ON GAS IT RESTARTS. MECHANIC REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND CRANK SENSOR BUT PROBLEM GOT WORSE. WONDERING IF IGNITION SWITCH COULD BE ISSUE AS I SEE IT WAS AN ISSUE ON OTHER CIVIC MODELS. MECHANIC BOTH AT HONDA AND OUR PERSONAL COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG AND PROBLEM KEEPS COMING UP DESPITE SUPPOSED FIXING. WE'VE SPENT OVER $1,000 ALREADY TRYING TO FIX IT.

CAR STALLS OUT AFTER HIGHER SPEED DRIVING, USUALLY COMING TO A HARD STOP, REQUIRING ME TO RESTART. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, SO IT WAS A BIT SCARY, A SAFETY CONCERN. USUALLY WHILE COMING TO A STOP IS WHEN IT OCCURS EXITING FREEWAYS. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO FIX, BUT THEY TELL ME MY VIN IS NOT AFFECTED BUT MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR ARE,NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 02V120000, AND MY CAR HAS THE SYMPTOMS OF AN IGNITION PROBLEM. ALSO THE IGNITION SWITCH IS ROUGH AND SOMETIMES THE KEY JAMS. NOTE THAT IT COULD BE THAT ITS PAST 15 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE WENT OUT, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE. I FEEL THEY ARE LIABLE FOR THIS REPAIR, I NEVER GOT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL AND HOPE FOR A REIMBURSEMENT AS WAS SUGGESTED BY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO COMPEL THEM TO FIX IT, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON 02/25/18 EXITING THE FREEWAY AND COMING TO A STOP.

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAGS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED HAD TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO REGAIN POWER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS BECOMING MORE PROMINENT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 02V1200000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), WHICH THEY BELIEVED MAY BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED BILL PEARCE HONDA (780 KIETZKE LANE, RENO, NEVADA 89502; 775-789-7999) WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000.

SPEEDOMETER WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING AND FREEZE AT 20 MPH. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO DRIVE AT EXCESSIVE AND UNSAFE SPEEDS WITHOUT BEING AWARE. BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, DUE TO POOR CIRCUIT BOARD SOLDERING, IN CIVICS OVER THE YEARS WITH SAME CIRCUIT BOARD.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. I WANT THE AIRBAG REPLACED SINCE THERE IS A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING I SMELLED THEN SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE GEAR SHIFT AREA. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF AND EXITED MY CAR. I OPENED THE HOOD AND WITHIN MINUTES MY CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO COME PUT IT OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS AN EVENFLO BIG KID SAFETY SEAT, MODEL NUMBER: 31311545. THE SEAT WAS MANUFACTURED ON JUNE 27, 2013. THE SAFETY SEAT WAS LOCATED IN A 2000 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO LATCH AND UNLATCH THE SHOULDER STRAP TO THE LATCH ATTACHED TO THE HEADREST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WOULD ENDANGER THE SAFETY OF A CHILD IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.
