![]() ![]() They immediately said that the SRS was not related to the inflator recall. ![]() I mentioned that SRS light stays on all the time - and that I was aware of issue with seat belt buckle/recall. Took vehicle to local Honda dealer to have driver's side airbag inflator replaced under recall. Also make sure your 2001 Accord has been checked for the airbag recall: excessive pressure may cause metal fragments during airbag deployment. This sensor is covered under Honda's lifetime seat belt warranty, but some dealers charge a $100+ "diagnostic fee" or tell customers the entire SRS unit ($800) is bad. The SRS warning light likes to come on due to a defective seat belt sensor - typically the driver's side. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000. Subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned A/C drain hose directly above that area. Honda eventually extended the transmission warranty to 93 months/109k miles for the 2000-2001 Accords as settlement for a class action lawsuit, but that period is over & owners of Accords with transmission problems are out of luck. Transmission failure problems have been a huge problem for Honda Accords & other models all through the early 2000s model years. The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 100,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000. We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague. Based on the research above, it seems like red plays its role pretty well in the human Notes: The 2001 Honda Accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (SRS). The color red should therefore be able to catch our attention, particularly in emotional conditions. It is established that signaling is one of the most important functions of a color. Therefore, the human mind is immediately activated or alerted when it sees this color. It was shown that people tend to associate red with negative, danger-bearing emotions, since it is the color of fire, blood, anger, and sometimes of poisonous or dangerous animals. Moreover, the red color seems to possess emotion-eliciting properties. However, another study found that viewing the color red before a motor task actually inhibits motor responses, and the researchers suggest that this happens due to the elicitation of fear. It was established in the study that viewing the color red immediately before or during a motor response increases the response’s strength and velocity. Motor responses are the responses shown by the human mind and body in response to any kind of stimulation. The human brain instantaneously becomes vigilant on seeing red (Photo Credit : twenty20)Īn interesting study published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience linked the color red to attracting attention in an emotional context. ![]() What makes the universal choice for the sirens of police vans, ambulances, and so many other warning signals?Įven though many associate this color with their romantic pursuits, displaying it through roses and heart-shaped stickers, red has a far greater significance in our daily lives it is, after all, the color of the fluid running through our arteries and veins (even though a slightly different shade of red). As I waited for those twenty seconds to pass and for the signal color to change from red it hit me… why red? Why not a blue signal? Or just the normal white color of an LED?įrom traffic signals to alarm bells, from the red flag of the guards at the train station to the rear lights of a vehicle when its brakes are pushed, red seems to be everywhere-unnoticed, yet very noticeable in significant times. The other day, on the drive back home, I got caught by the red light at a traffic signal. The wavelength of red makes it the least scattered color for the human eye. Do we want our danger signals to scatter?įrom traffic signals to ambulance and police vehicle sirens, red is an omnipresent color in our world. ![]()
