2003 Honda Accord complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO BEING REPAIRED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V370000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V320000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE RUSSEL SMITH HONDA DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A SEAT BELT FAILURE. THE DEALER OFFERED TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT THE CONTACT DECLINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE SEAT BELTS AND NOT THE AIR BAGS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,900.

TAKATA RECALL POWER STEERING LEAK

AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN FASTENING SEAT BELT AND STARTING VEHICLE. IF FASTEN SEAT BELT PRIOR TO STARTING VEHICLE, THE LIGHT STAYS OFF.

UPON SLOWING, TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VIOLENTLY FROM 3 TO 2 AND 2 TO 1. ALSO, UNDER LIGHT OR STEADY THROTTLE, WILL SWITCH BACK AND FORTH FROM 1 TO 2, AGAIN VIOLENTLY (VIOLENTLY DEFINED AS LIKE DUMPING THE CLUTCH IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION). THIS HAPPENS AFTER IT WARMS UP. THE CAR HAS 98.8K MILES ON IT, MAINTAINED AT HONDA THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND BLINKED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE INDICATOR WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CONTACT HAD TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. ONE HOUR LATER, THE KEY WAS RELEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. A FEW HOURS LATER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SERVICED DUE TO ITS AGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AGREED WITH THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

BODY PAINT ON THE HONDA ACCORD IS FADING IN PATCHES ACROSS VARIOUS AREAS OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS UNSURE OF THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL SEEING PHOTOS ONLINE OF OTHER HONDA VEHICLES FROM THAT SAME TIME PERIOD WITH SIMILAR DAMAGE. WEBSITES BLAME THE PROBLEM ON HONDA'S PRIMER/PAINT FROM THE PERIOD WHEN THE CARS WERE MANUFACTURED. I BELIEVE THE CARMAKER SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS FOR THE BODY PAINT.

WIPER MOTOR IN MY 2 DOOR IS NOT ON RECALL BUT THE 4 DOOR IS. HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE 4 DOORS HAVE. IT IS DANGEROUS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR WHEN THE WIPERS QUIT ON YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE ZERO VISIBILITY. I WAS FORCED AGAIN TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON THE WAY HOME IN THE DARK SO THAT I COULD BE SAFER THEN DRIVING. THE RAIN IS COMING DOWN HARD AND FAST AND THE WIPER MOTOR GETS WET THEN SHORTS OUT NO MATTER WHAT SPEED OR WHAT TYPE OF ROAD. THE RECALL IS A SHIELD PLACED ON IT UNLESS IT IS CORRODED ALREADY THEN REPLACED. I WANT SOMETHING DONE. TIRED OF STRESSING OVER ALL THE POOR QUALITY ISSUES HONDA HAS HAD WITH THIS CAR. INCLUDING THE RECALL ON THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG I JUST FOUND BECAUSE I CAME TO SEE IF MY WIPER MOTOR HAD FINALLY BEEN RECALLED. THIS WAS AN ISSUE MY SON HAD WHEN HE OWNED THE CAR ALSO. THE MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE JUST KEEPS GOING UP AND UP BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEARS AND NOTHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T TRUST WHEN IT WILL NOT WORK AGAIN. PLEASE HELP ME I AM DISABLED AND DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR ALL THIS.

THE LIGHT OF AIRBAG S ON FROM YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING

A FEW YEARS AGO THE PAINT STARTED WEARING AWAY AND NOW IT'S PITTED ALL OVER THE CAR AFTER NORMAL USE AND DRIVING. IT LOOKS HORRIBLE, SO BAD THAT PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR. THIS RESULTED IN MY AIR BAG BEING DEPLOYED AS I CAME INTO COLLISION WITH A GUARD RAIL ON A CITY STREET. LUCKILY, ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THIS RESULTED IN MY WINDSHIELD BEING CRACKED.

"TAKATA RECALL". PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, WITH OR WITHOUT ANYONE SITTING IN THE SEAT. AFRAID TO HAVE ANY ONE SIT IN PASSENGER SEAT FOR FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT PROPERLY DEPLOY AND INFLATE WHEN NECESSARY.

TRANSMISSION RECALL- SECOND OWNER OF 2003 HONDA ACCORD. BOUGHT IT AT 76,000 MILES, NOW AT 95,000 MILES. I'M NIGHT DRIVING AT 75MPH IN THE FAST LANE WITH A CONSTANT FLOW OF TRAFFIC INCLUDING BIG RIGS. NEAR THE END OF A CONSTRUCTION MEDIAN WHICH WAS PLACED PRECISELY ON THE LEFT LINE OF THE LANE, MY CAR JOLTS BACKWARDS AS IF I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. FREAKED OUT, I THOUGHT MAYBE I RAN SOMETHING OVER. THEN 2 MINUTES LATER MY CAR JOLTS BACKWARDS AGAIN LIKE A FAST EMERGENCY BRAKE. I COULD FEEL MY BODY LOCK AGAINST MY SEATBELT. I SAFELY GET TO THE SHOULDER AND PANIC AS I AM AN HOUR FROM HOME AND I'M IN THE GHETTO. AS I PULL BACK ON TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY MY CAR IS AT A CONSTANT REV OF 5 AND MAKING A LOUD AWFUL MACHINE NOISE. I TRY TO PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT DOESN'T REVERSE. I TURN IT OFF THEN TRY AGAIN, IT WORKS ONCE THEN DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. I GET TOWED TO HONDA, I SAW HOW THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD A JET KIT INSTALLED BECAUSE OF A 2004 RECALL WHICH STATES IF UNDER 15,000MI INSTALL A JET KIT, IF OVER, EXAMINE THE GEARS AND OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION. REPLACE. BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL WHICH WAS MORE SO A BANDAID OF THE PROBLEM, MY MINT CONDITION CAR IS ALL MONEY BAGS. I DO NOT THINK HONDA WILL DO ANOTHER RECALL OR PAY PARTIALLY FOR THE REPAIR. 95,000 MILES! I READ ON CAR COMPLAINTS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAD THESE SAME ISSUES WITH HONDA AMERICA AND HONDA DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! IF YOU CREATE AND SELL A DANGEROUSLY FAULTY PRODUCT, FIX AND REPLACE THEM! NHTSA RECALL #: 04V176000 HONDA RECALL

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILS GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR.

I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT IN A PARKING LOT ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2016. I WAS TURNING AND HIT A POLE ON THE FRONT FENDER OF THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY CAR. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AN HOUR. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND BROKE BOTH BONES IN MY RIGHT ARM. IT FRACTURES MY RADIUS & ULNA. MINUTES LATE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WENT OFF AND BROKE THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL, WHERE I HAD SURGERY. THEY HAD TO PUT TWO METAL PLATES & SCREWS IN MY ARM. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 3 DAYS AND OUT OF WORK ON MEDICAL UNTIL NOVEMBER 28, 2016 I STILL HAVE PAIN IN MY ARM AND FINGERS. ARTHRITIS HAS SET IN MY FORE FINGER . I REALLY FEEL THAT THESE AIRBAGS WERE DEFECTIVE. I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD INVESTIGATE MY CLAIM. THANK YOU, UPDATED 03/15/17*LJ *TR

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAGS DYSFUNCTIONAL BUT NOT REPLACED BY HONDA, FRONT AND REAR BRAKE CALIPERS SEIZED UP RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE BRAKE PAD WEAR AND DAMAGE TO ROTORS. ~$3000 BRAKE JOB QUOTED FOR A HONDA WITH ONLY ~150K MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CONTACT WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE MEDIAN. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME WHERE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 240,000.

I'M THE THIRD OWNER OF A 2003 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX COUPE. AT 151000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO FAIL. IT WOULD SLAM IT'S WAY FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME. I WAS GOING 60 MPH FROM THE SHELL STATION .5 MILES FROM MY HOUSE, AND SLOWED TO 30 BY THE TIME MY CAR WAS IN 1ST IN A CURVE. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. COME WEB TO FIND OUT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD UNRESOLVED PROBLEM THAT IS ENDANGERING EVERYONE IN AND AROUND THESE VEHICLES. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID IN 2004 THE VEHICLE ALREADY HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED, BUT MUCH LIKE THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO ENDED UP WITH THIS CAT IT DID NOT FIX THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND HONDA KNOWS THAT THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS AND WANTS PEOPLE TO CONTINUE PAYING TO GET THE SAME PROBLEMATIC REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I CAN NOT BELIEVE EVERY ONE OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED, AND IF NEEDED I WILL PURSUE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST HONDA ESPECIALLY HAVING A 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN A KNOWN ROLLING DEATH TRAP. ONCE IT GETS TO FIRST IT FLASHES D ON THE DASH AND THE CHECK ENGINE COMES ON. MY TCS AND ABS IS ALSO TRIPPED BY THIS ISSUE CAUSING FURTHER RISK OF ENDANGERING OTHER DRIVERS AND MYSELF. EVERY SEARCH I HAVE MADE ON THIS VEHICLE DAYS THE SAME AS I'M SAYING NOW, BUT AT VARYING STAGES. PLEASE HELP GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED NOT JUST FOR MYSELF BUT FOR EVERYONE WHO OWNS THIS PARTICULAR HONDA. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR MODEL OF THE HONDA ACCORD V6 EX COUPE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED AND WON'T BE MOV

FIRST, WHEN I STARTED TYPING IN THIS FIELD, THE PAGE RESET AND I HAD TO RE-ENTER THE VIN. SO, PLEASE FIX YOUR WEBPAGE, SO THAT IT DOES NOT CLEAR UNLESS A SUBMIT BUTTON IS DELIBERATELY PRESSED. THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT ON MY HONDA ACCORD COMES ON, AT THE START OF SOME ENGINE RUNS, BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS SET IN MOTION, AND STAYS ON FOR THE DURATION OF THE RUN. AT OTHER TIMES, WHEN THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AT THE ONSET OF A RUN, IT COMES ON WHEN THE SEATBELT IS UNBUCKLED, AND REMAINS ON FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE RUN. THOUGH I WOULD RATHER THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BE PERMANENTLY DISARMED, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE LIGHT WILL COME ON DURING THE ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTION AND CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO FAIL THE INSPECTION. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING. DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 5 IN SEATTLE. DARK AND RAINY, WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING. CAR ALREADY HAD A RECALL TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. BUT STILL IT HAPPENED. FAILED RECALL. HAD TO REPLACE MOTOR FOR WINDSHIELD AT DEALERSHIP. I HAVE THE OLD PART. THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO HAPPEN. REALLY SCARY GOING 60 MPH AT NIGHT, WITH RAIN FALL TO SUDDENLY LOSE THE CAR WIPERS. THANK YOU GOD IM ALIVE AND KEEP MY GLASS CLEAN. *TR

TRUNK LID WON'T STAY UP. WHEN TRUNK LID UP, IT COMES CRASHING DOWN ON MY HEAD. IT HAS DONE THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT HAS PUT SEVERAL GASHES IN MY HEAD. HONDA SAYS THE BAR CONNECTING TO THE HINGES OWN MADE ANYMORE. THERE MUST BE A WAY TO FIX THIS BEFORE I GET A CONCUSSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 70 MPH AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO LOCK, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP ON THE FREEWAY.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

THERE A INTERIOR WALTER LEAK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK AND NECK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD LX CRASHED ON 10/01/2016 ABOUT 18 MONTHS AFTER I HAD MY AIRBAG SERVICED AT A LOCAL HONDA DEALER 4/7/2015. WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER, THE DRIVER DOOR HAD NO POWER AND COULD NOT BE OPENED REMOTELY OR WITH THE POWER LOCK CONTROL ON THE DRIVER DOOR. MORE IMPORTANTLY, NO SAFETY SIGNALS CAME ON WHEN THE CAR STARTED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY $80 TO HAVE IT CHECKED; I THEN CALLED AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHO ONLY DOCUMENTED THE COMPLAINT AND TOOK NO ACTION TO REMEDY MECHANICAL MISTAKE BY HONDA DEALER. I WAS DRIVING ON A DOWNHILL CURVE ON A WET ROAD AFTER A RAIN. WHEN I SAW A SLOWER CAR AHEAD OF ME, I GENTLY APPLIED THE BRAKE TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT FOLLOWING DISTANCE. THE CAR DRIFTED TO THE LEFT TOWARD ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BUT WHEN I TRIED STEER TO GET BACK TO THE RIGHT LANE AND TRIED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE, IT LOCKED UP, THEN THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND I HAD NO BRAKE AND STEERING RESISTANCE WAS COMPLETELY LAX. MY CAR WENT OFF ROAD AND CRASHED INTO THE WOODS. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS CONFINED IN BED WITH PAIN ONE WHOLE DAY. MY TRANSMISSION HAD LOCKED UP, THEN WENT INTO NEUTRAL, TWICE BEFORE ON 1/14/2015 IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND ON 9/15/2016 IN MY DRIVEWAY. WE NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA FOR THE TRANSMISSION RECALL; HOWEVER, WE DID RECEIVE LETTERS REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL, THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, AND THE WIPER MOTOR RECALL. A YEAR AGO, THE RECALLS CAME UP USING MY VIN#. THE DATABASE NOW SHOWS N

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY AIRBAG INFLATOR'S AND I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THEY TOOK CARE OF IT AND THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT I WAS HIT IN THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY I FEEL LIKE THIS IS VERY UNSAFE HONDA IS THE BRAND THAT I TRUSTED AND THEY FAILED ME

MY SON WAS DRIVING ON TURNPIKE RAMP. WHEEL SEEMED TO LOCK UP AND HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 15-20 MPH. HE HIT GUARD RAIL AND BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE DAMAGE WAS NOT EXTENSIVE ENOUGH (NO HOOD DAMAGE, SOME BUMPER DAMAGE, NO LIGHTS CRACKED). I HAD CALLED AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE MAN NAMED GEORGE WHO SAID THEY ARE OVERWHELMED AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PARTS IN MY RECALL AND HE WOULD CALL ME. HE DID NOT AND THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED. NOW I AM AT RISK OF THEM TOTALING THE CAR DUE TO AIRBAGS DEPLOYING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE RESOLVED IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER WITH NO RELIEF FROM COGGIN HONDA - WHO COULD HAVE KILLED MY SON IN THIS ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO PARK. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE RPMS ACCELERATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. 5 CAR PILE UP, ME BEING THE LAST CAR HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY HOWEVER THE PASSENGER SIDE DID.

THE AIR BAGS LIGHT CAME ON TWO WEEKS AGO AND GOES AWAY AND RETURNS SPECIALLY AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A FULL DAY OF DRIVING THE LIGHT COMES UP AND WILL NOT GO AWAY. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE COMPUTER FOR THE AIRBAGS IS DYING DOWN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT HONDA WILL NOT FIX PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT IF VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK. I ADVISED THEM THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD REPLACE AT NO COST BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE JUST SAID IF YOU WANT IT FIXED YOU WILL NEED TO PAY $ 541.00 AND TURNED AROUND AND REQUESTED FOR MY CAR TO BE RETURNED BACK TO ME. I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED AT HONDA AND ITS PERSONNEL BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PUBLIC LIKE THEY SAY IN THERE TV COMMERCIALS.

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND I COULD NOT SEE A THING. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT OTHER CARS WENT AROUND ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEIR IS NOT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THIS FOR 2003 HONDA ACCORDS NO. Q78 WHEN THE MOTOR GETS WET IT STOPS WORKING BUT FOR SOME REASON IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. ALSO I HAD A LEAK IN MY POWER STEERING AND TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE PUMP AND ENDED UP CHARGING ME $500.00 TO FIX BUT IT IS STILL LEAKING.

TAKATA RECALL - DRIVER'S SIDE WAS COMPLETED AT LIA HONDA, ALBANY NY ON 12/16/15. PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT FIXED - "UNABLE TO DO RECALL. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. CUSTOMER IS AWARE..." FIXING THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR TO OPEN IS NOT A VIABLE OPTION - TOO COSTLY. PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR DOES OPEN AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT COULD BE REMOVED. THIS WOULD PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH/AIRBAG. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS FOR HAVING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL COMPLETED? MY CALL TO AMERICAN HONDA (909-664-9134) WAS NOT PARTICULARLY HELPFUL - IF I FIXED THE DOOR TO PROVIDE ACCESS, THE RECALL COULD BE COMPLETED - BUT I DID RECEIVE A CASE #[XXX]. THE TITLE TO THE CAR IS IN MY WIFE'S NAME, [XXX], BUT I, [XXX], AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER AT THIS TIME AND SO I AM HANDLING THE RECALL.

MY CAR TURN ON WHEN HE WANT TOO I TRY TO TURN IT ON AND DO S CLACLACLA THEM LIKE 10 MINUTES LATER IT TURNS ON PEOPLE TELL ME ITS THE IGNITION IT DO THIS ALMOST EVERYDAY

THE 3RD GEAR IN MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAD ALMOST COMPLETELY GIVEN OUT. THE FIRST INCIDENT OF FAILURE WAS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. WHEN MY VEHICLE TRIED TO SHIFT TO 3RD GEAR THE GEAR WOULDN'T CATCH AND THE ENGINE REVVED FREELY WITHOUT INCREASING THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. I DID RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM SPECIFICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AND DISCOVERED THE ISSUE TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OTHER REPORTS.

I'VE NOTICED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT THE PAINT HAS FADED. IT SEEMS LIKE THE CLEAR COAT HAS BEEN REMOVED. THERE'S SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE HOOD, ROOF, FRONT FENDER, AND THE TRUNK. POSSIBLY BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURE USED POOR QUALITY PAINT.

TAKATA RECALL THIS IS MY COLLEGE STUDENT DAUGHTER'S CAR AND WE ARE VERY CONCERNED. HER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WE RECENTLY READ THERE WAS AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THIS MODEL THAT CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!!!. WHEN WE CALLED CURRY HONDA, SIERRA SAID HER VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. I WANT CLARIFICATION ON THIS ASAP. ARE ALL 2003 HONDAS IN DANGER? SINCE HER VIN COULDN'T BE "LOCATED" ON THE RECALL LIST, WE WANT HONDA TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS SINCE HER CAR FALL IN THIS CATEGORY. SHE HAS AN AUTOMATIC (NOT A STICK SHIFT) 2003 HONDA COUPE

THE TORQUE CONVERTER ISNT LOCKING UP ANYMORE...THE CAR CAN STOP ANY TIME BY ITSELF. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE P0741

THIS HAS LEAD TO REPLACEMENT OF MY ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM AS WELL (HONDA SUGGESTED). I HAVE TO LITERALLY CARRY AROUND A GALLON OF OIL IN MY TRUNK DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING/LEAKAGE. I'VE SPOKEN TO HONDA MANY TIMES BUT NOONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY ITS BURNING SO MUCH OIL, I WAS TOLD HIGH MILEAGE AND TO USE A THICKER GRADE OF OIL. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO KEEP THIS UP. I LIKE MY CAR BUT I'M VERY UNHAPPY AND FRUSTRATED, PLEASE HELP..THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND I'M JUST FINDING OUT THAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE "SOME" DOCUMENTATION BUT NOT MUCH, I WAS UNAWARE THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH MORE THAN MYSELF. PLEASE HELP.
