2004 Honda Accord complaints

I AM NOTICING AIRBAG SYMBOL POPPING UP OFTEN, NOT SURE WHETHER IT IS PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG OR COMPUTER PART FAULTY THAT MAKES THE AIRBAG TO NOT FUNCTION. EITHER WAY IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

TAKATA RECALL. ON 5/1/2018 AROUND 5:30PM I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH ON BUSY CITY STREET NOT MAKING ANY TURNS. NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE VEHICLE OTHER THAN ME, THE DRIVER. I RAN OVER A SMALL BUMP AND THE PASSENGER-SIDE CURTAIN AND SEAT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO CONTACT/COLLISION AGAINST THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE COULD BE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

2004 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECEIVING A SAFETY RECALL FOR A VEHICLE THEY NO LONGER OWN. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED DOES NOT WISH TO BE CONTACTED ANY FURTHER DUE TO THE FACT THE CAR IS NO LONGER IN HIS POSSESSION. *TR

TAKATA RECALL- I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE THAT HONDA CORP WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WITH MY SRS LIGHT ON MY CAR THAT WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR AND HONDA CORP HAS RECALLED THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL CAR I OWN BUT THEY SAY MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST ,I FIND THIS VERY HARD TO BELEAVE ,BECAUSE I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY AIR BAGS BUT HONDA WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR

AER BAG

CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS RIPPED BOUGHT FROM AMAZON IN MARCH 2016, HAD TO ULTIMATELY REPLACE THE STRUTS

I PURCHASED A HONDA ACCORD 2004 V6, WITH 44,954 MILES, CERTIFIED AT CARSON HONDA, IN CARSON CALIFORNIA ON FEB.9, 2006. THIS IS MY FIRST CAR PURCHASE FROM A DEALERSHIP.I SOMETIMES US TO SEE THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND THE LAST TIME I SAW I ON WAS ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. I DID CALL AMERICAN HONDA IN TORRANCE,CA. I HAD CONCERN RE. THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. THEY ASKED ME THE MILEAGE OF MY CAR I TOLD THE REP. ,IT HAD ABOUT 170,000, HE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY, BECAUSE THE CAR HAD SO MANY MILES. I DID TELL THEM THAT I HAD SEEN THE AIRBAG ICON ON AND I HAD TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED, THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND END OF CALL. WHERE CAN ONE SEE OLD RECALLS ON CAR? I DID RECEIVE A CARD CALLED" IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE FOR OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS". CHAPTER 11 CASE. 17-11375(BLS) MY CAR IS NOT IN THE RECALL AM AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS AND MYSELF. AMERICAN HONDA OR CARSON HONDA ARE NOT HELPING ME WITH MY CONCERNS. I FEEL THAT VEHICLES WITH THIS TAKATA AIRBAG SHOULD BE REPLACED. IS IS VERY SCARY HAT PEOPLE HAVE DIED INSTEAD OF BEEN SAVED.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT, BUT LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION! COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS!

MY ACCORD RECENTLY TURNED ON THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND WAS TAKEN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED BY A HONDA TECHNICIAN THE VEHICLE HAS A CODE FOR THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG INFLATOR AND ALSO POSSIBLE BAD CLOCK SPRING. THE HONDA ADVISOR REFERRED ME TO HONDA CUSTOMER SUPPORT SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY COMPONENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE STARTING THE IGNITION, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER (NAPLETON'S RIVER OAKS HONDA, 17220 TORRENCE AVE, LANSING, IL 60438) STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DID NOT REPAIR OR DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PURCHASED A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE ON THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR WIRING HARNESS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

MAKING LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AROUND MY STIRRING WHEEL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM STRIKING AN OBJECT IN THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO THE MEDIAN. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FIELD. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE BACK AND CHEST, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS MODEL, ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE. HOWEVER, AN INTERMITTENT "SIDE AIRBAG" WARNING APPEARS MOST TRIPS, THEN DISAPPEARS FOR A WHILE. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER CHECKED AND SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR SIDE AIRBAGS; THEREFOR THERE WILL BE A REPAIR CHARGE FOR ANALYSIS AND'/OR REPAIR. WHEN THE WARNING DOES COME ON IT TYPICALLY WILL START WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED TO "START" AND STAYS ON FOR SOME TIME, BUT MAY GO OFF BEFORE THE TRIP IS ENDED.

PAINT ON THE HOOD IS PEELING OFF, THE LIGHT ON THE RADIO,AC. CD STEERING WHEEL AND DOORS ARE NOT WORKING.

HEADS LIGHTS DIM AS I DRIVE IN CITY STREETS. HONDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS BUT NEVER DID A RECALL ON HONDAS 2003 TO 2005. THE ELD HAS A FAULTY SOLDER JOINT. THIS IS WHAT THE HONDA FACTORY SERVICE BULLETIN STATES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. PART IS OVER $550.00 PLUS LABOR.

TAKATA RECALL : WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD INDICATES THE SIDE AIRBAGS ARE OFF

TAKATA RECALL- MY CAR IS NOT RECOGNIZING MY AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, THEY WOULDN'T WORK.

I'VE BEEN NOTICING MY AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON AND OFF. I RECEIVED THIS LETTER IN THE MAIL CONCERNING THE AIRBAGS. I JUST WANT TO FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY THEN I BEGIN TO MOVE; THE AIRBAG COMES ON CONSTANTLY.

TAKATA RECALL: MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD IS IN A RECALL GROUP BUT WHEN I TYPE IN THE VIN, IT SHOWS THAT IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL. IS THIS BECAUSE THE AIRBAG HAS DESICCANT OR IS IT NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE OF A LACK OF INCIDENTS WHERE THE AIR BAG EXPLODED WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE? MY VIN IS [XXX]. 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *TR

TAKATA RECALL MY RADIO ASK ME FOR CODE , ALL RADIO DOESNT WORK

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TORQUE CONVERTORS FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORDS BUT I CANNOT GET ANYONE TO FIX MY HONDA'S TORQUE CONVERTOR UNDER THE RECALL

AIRBAG SIGN IS ON

RADIO DOES NOT PLAY AUDIO, RANDOMLY BLASTS STATIC AT VERY LOUD LEVEL, CAUSING DRIVER TO BE STARTLED. NO FUNCTIONS OF RADIO WORK.

A LIGHT COMES ON SAYING PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF. IS THIS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN.

WENT ONTO HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH SUDDENLY CAR WON'T DRIVE YOU CAN HERE WHEN I PUT GAS INTO IT BUT WOULDN'T DRIVE AT ALL.

ACCORDING TO THIS WEBSITE AS WELL AS ALL OTHER SOURCES, MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD COUPE SHOULD HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG, BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, AND THIS SITE DOES NOT SHOW MY CAR ARE BEING RECALLED. WHY IS MY CAR NOT RECALLED? I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY WHEN DRIVE MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED LOCAL DEALERS, MIKE PIAZZA HONDA LOCATED ON 1908 E OLD LINCOLN HWY, LANGHORNE, PA, 019047 AND HAMILTON HONDA LOCATED AT 655 US-130, HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY, 08691, WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND THAT HE COULD BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE DIAGNOSED BUT THERE WOULD BE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE CONTACT WAS UN-PLEASED DUE TO THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED FREE PER THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE DEALERS WITH NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE OFFERED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 156,000.

I'M DRIVING 427 SOUTH (TORONTO) LATE EVENING, AND I APPROACH SOMEONE WHO IS DRIVING 80 KM/HR, SO I DECIDE TO OVERTAKE THE CAR. I CHANGE A LANE, ACCELERATE FOR COUPLE SECONDS, AND WHEN I RELEASE A GAS PEDAL, MY CAR DOESN'T SLOW DOWN, IT CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, AND ENGINE IS RUNNING VIOLENTLY, IT REACHES MAX RPMS (I THINK IT'S 5000 RPMS), AND THAN A COMPUTER DROPS RPMS DOWN. SO, NOTHING IS PRESSING A GAS PEDAL, AND THE ENGINE PULLING LIKE CRAZY, CAR IS ACCELERATING, AND HIGHWAY IS OVER IN 5 SECONDS. I TOUCH A GAS PEDAL - IT IS SOFT, BUT IT'S SPRINGING BACK WHEN I RELEASE IT, AND THERE IS NO A BOTTLE OR A CARPET STUCK IN BETWEEN, I CHECK CRUSE CONTROL - IT IS NOT ON, SO I PRESS BRAKES AND TRY TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR WITH BRAKES WHICH IS NOT EASY BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING ON MAX RPMS AND PULLING A CAR, YOU CAN FEEL IT. SO, I STOP EVENTUALLY AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. THE NEXT DAY I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD FOR THE PROBLEM, AND I DISCOVERED THE NEXT. THERE IS A PART OF A CAR CALLED A THROTTLE, THAT REGULATES AIR INTAKE IN THE ENGINE, AND THIS WAY SPEED OF ENGINE IS REGULATED TOO. THE THROTTLE IS REGULATED BY TWO CABLES. ONE CABLE (NOT A WIRE) GOES FROM A GAS PEDAL, AND IT'S ATTACHED TO A METAL BRACKET ON A THROTTLE. ANOTHER CABLE (NOT A WIRE) GOES FROM CRUISE CONTROL, AND IT'S ATTACHED TO A PLASTIC BRACKET ON A THROTTLE. SO, PLASTIC DETERIORATED OVER TIME, AND CRUISE CONTROL CABLE BROKE OFF AND JAMMED THE THROTTLE ON THE MAX OPENING WHEN I W

I WAS DRIVING ON AN EXPRESS WAY, AND ALL OF SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND SLIP TO NEUTRAL WHILE MY ENGINE REV UP TO HIGHER RPM. MY SPEED LIMIT WENT FROM 50 TO ALMOST ZERO, BUT LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY SON A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. I HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED YESTERDAY HOPING THIS WILL PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.

WHAT IS GOING ON??? HOW CAN HONDA TAKE ZERO RESPONSIBLY FOR THIS? MY CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION MECHANICALLY BUT THE OUTSIDE IS SO ROUGH. THE PAINT IS PEELING EVERYWHERE, TERRIBLE ON MY HOOD, ROOF AND TRUNK. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS AN ISSUE! HELP PLEASE!

TAKATA RECALL. OUR SON WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH AN 18-WHEELER ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AS A FRONT-SEAT PASSENGER IN OUR 2004 ACCORD LAST WEEK AND HIS AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY BUT THE DRIVER-SIDE BAG DID DEPLOY AND CAUSED HARM TO THE DRIVER WHO WOUND UP HAVING HIS LIP SEWN BACK TOGETHER.

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL. WHY WAS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD NEVER INCLUDED IN ONE OF THE THREE RECALLS (15V320000, 14V700000, 15V370000) AFFECTING THE 2004 HONDA ACCORD? I PREVIOUSLY ASKED HONDA BUT THEY WOULD NOT RESPOND. WHAT IS THE TECHNICAL EXPLANATION WHY MY ACCORD WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS.? I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS. IS THE CAR SAFE TO DRIVE?

WE BOUGHT A CAR FROM A CAR DEALER AND AFTER PURCHASING WE GOT A CAR FACTS AND IT SAYS THE MILEAGE IS WRONG AND INACCURATE IN STATE OF CALIFORNIA IT HAS A BRANDED TITLE BUT IT DOESN'T IN OREGON OREGON BUT IT SHOULD THE MILEAGE IS CONFLICTING IT'S NOT CORRECT ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE CAR HISTORY SITES IT SAYS 147K BUT ENGINE SAYS 151K AND CAR FACTS HAS MILEAGE STATED AS HIGH AS 208K

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE SPEED BEGAN TO DROP AND THE TRANSMISSION STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,000.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND GRINDING. TOOK IT TO OUR TRUSTED MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 128,000 MILES. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL #: 04V176000 FOR 2003/2004 HONDAS DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP.

"TAKATA RECALL" AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHTS WILL STAY ON, AND HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED AT THE MAJORITY OF STARTS. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF WILL TURN ON, AND STAY-ON AT TIMES, MAJORITY WILL SHUT-OFF, THE DRIVER SIDE WILL TURN OFF SOMETIMES, MOSTLY THE LIGHT WILL STAY-ON. NOT HARDLY WILL THERE NOT BE ONE OF THE AIR-BAG LIGHTS ON, AND I NEVER KNOW WHICH SIDE, OR IF BOTH.

PROBLEM POWER STEERING FEED HOSE LEAK

I DID TUNE UP MY CAR BECAUSE IS RUN NOT GOOD. THE BALL JOINT BROKE GOOD THE HAPPEN ON STREET IN REPAIR GET NEW BALL JOINT AND NEW AXLE BOTH THING FOR DRIVERS SIDE USED CAR HAD A GOOD ON GAS MILEAGE BUT AFTER START GIVING BAD MILEAGES. MANY TIME TUNE UP. AFTER THAT CAR NOT PICK SPEED. ONE DAY I DID GOOGLE SEARCH. I FIND HONDA RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION OVER ONE MILLION. I CALL HONDA DEALER ABOUT TRANSMISSION RECALL HE SAY NEED UP DATE SOFTWARE BUT THEY DON'T HAVE RECALL ABOUT THIS YET . BUT THEY HAVE RECALL AIRBAGS WAS WHICH HAVEN ALREADY DONE. NOW MY CAR HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION ,BALL JOINT AXLE ,SMOKING. RADIO NOT WORKS ANOTHER I HOPE. I GET RECALL SOON . I WASN'T KNOW THAT TO FILE COMPLAINTS. NOW I KNOW AND I HELPS OTHER. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, EXITING THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND ENTERING THE FREEWAY, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT RE-ENGAGE WITHOUT MOVING THE SHIFTER DOWN TO THE D3 GEAR FIRST. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR USING THIS METHOD TO THE NEAREST TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON THE DRIVE TO THE REPAIR FACILITY. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY THIRD CLUTCH AND A REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $3200-3400 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I CHOSE A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP, WITH AN EQUALLY GOOD REPUTATION, AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT FOR $2700. IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE SAME REPAIR SHOP 3 TIMES AFTER THE REBUILD WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE RECURRING SLIPPAGE. RESEARCH REVEALS THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PARTS FAILING IN A MAJORITY OF INSTANCES. THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP OUT OF GEAR FROM A DEAD STOP, IN MOTION AT SLOW SPEEDS OR MODERATE SPEEDS WITH NO DETECTABLE PATTERN. THE TRANSMISSION FAILING WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, POTENTIALLY FATAL, DRIVING SITUATION. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION ALREADY BUT NOT FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. *TR

I JUST TRIED TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE TODAY AND THE DEALER DECLINED IT DUE TO A RECALL NOTICE. I IN FACT HAD ALL THE AIRBAGS REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER 2016 DUE TO A RECALL NOTICE AND NEVER EVEN KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS 2004 RECALL! THANKS HONDA!!! DO THE NEW AIRBAGS NOT TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER THIS RECALL? CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE THIS OFF OF THE NHTSA WEBSITE SO I CAN SELL MY CAR?

AS IM DRIVING WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDDAL I START HEARING A SOUND LIKE TRANSMISSION IS SPINNING AND POWER STEERING NOSIE ONCE IT WARMS UP THE NOSIE STOPS WHILE ON THE STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY ALSO.

THE CAR WAS JUST AMAZING WHEN I BOUGHT IT. EVEN THO I PURCHASED IT USED I WENT STRAIGHT TO A SERVICE SHOP HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND COMPLETE TUNE UP DONE EXPECTING TO ENJOY THIS CAR I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT. THE FIRST COUPLE MONTHS WERE GREAT, NO WORRIES. THEN IT SEEMS LIKE OUT OF NO WHERE I NOTICED A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY IT DROVE, JUST THE COMPLETE FEELING OF THE CAR WAS DIFFERENT. THE NEXT DAY I WENT OUT TO EAT AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD. OKAY I THOUGHT JUST NEED TO PAY ATTENTION, THAT NIGHT WHEN HEADING TO THE STORE IS WHEN IT BECAME CONSTANT, SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE A HARD SHIFT, FROM 1TO2 SLIP 2TO3 SLIP, THEN ONCE IT HEATED UP STOPPED. TODAY IS THE SECOND DAY OF HAVING TO DRIVE IT AND THE LIGHT FOR THE ENGINE CAME ON. THE CAR HAS ONLY 160,000 MILES ON IT, SUPPOSEDLY STILL IN ITS PRIME ACCORDING TO EARLY HONDA OWNERS, MY COUSIN HAD A EARLY 90'S MODEL ACCORD I KNOW LIVED TO ALMOST 300,000 ON THE SAME ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. WHAT MAKES THIS GENERATION NOT ACCOUNTABLE OR NOT AS WORTHY OF THE SAME QUALITY THAT HAS GIVEN HONDA THE LOYALTY OF CUSTOMERS IT HAS NOW. THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO TURN A BLIND EYE ON THIS PROBLEM, KNOWING THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE A SELF INFLICTED AND THE DIRECT RESULT OF CHEAP PARTS AND A DESIGN FLAW THEY ALLOWED TO BE MASS PRODUCED KNOWING, THE "CERTAINTY" OF MASS FAILURE IT WOULD CREATE AFTER THE WARRANTY FREEING THEM OF LIABILITY. LEAVING THE DEDICATED CUSTOMERS, THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HELPED HONDA BUILD THERE FOOT HOL

BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT AND SPONGY. HAVE HAD BRAKE FLUID AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED BUT AIR SEEMS TO BE GETTING INTO HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. HAVE CALLED ATTENTION TO HONDA SERVICE PERSONNEL OF SERVICE BULLETIN 07_045 BUT SRVICE REP DISCLAIM ANY PROBLEM. I AM FEARFUL OF TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE AIRBAG EXPLOSIVE DEPLOYMENT!
