2002 Honda Accord EX v6 Coupe 3.0L V6

Summary:

Honda Headache

Faults:

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.

My light also goes on once in a while in my 2002 Acura (Honda) TL type S. If you tap into the drivers door while aggressively driving cornering etc. or I notice when my daughter leans against the passenger door during routine driving it sometimes comes on. Mine resets itself after shutting down. These cars are great. I owned Accords and a Legend as well.

If you want a car that looks cool, drives fast and is reliable this car is the car for you

There is a slight hesitation when you accelerate.

The gas mileage is horrible! (then again I used to have a 4 cylinder)

General Comments:

This car is seriously quick and corners like its on rails. (I really mean it)

Its very roomy for a two door.

The six disk CD changer is the best because its right there in the front with you as opposed to beining the trunk.

2002 Honda Accord EXL 2.4 liter

Summary:

Great car for the money

Faults:

The only thing that has gone wrong is having to have the front brake rotors turned, to me this is odd, and from what I have read, not a rare thing to have happen.

My dealer said it is not covered by warranty, but did the job for free anyway.

I also find a problem with the brightness of the head lights, they seem to not cast a good beam down the road at night.

Other than that, I love the car so far.

I couldn't agree with you more. However, the newly redesigned model is simply fantastic to drive.
