2004 Honda Accord complaints

AIRBAG LIGHT ON WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT. I REPORT TO DEALER THEY SAID IS MY CAR IDENTIFICATION NUMB NOT INCLUDE.

PICKING UP SON FROM PRE-K AND CAR KEY WOULD NOT TURN OFF. AFTER MESSING WITH THE KEY AND JUGGLING IT FOR OVER AN HOUR, I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT OFF BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO MOVE AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,340. UPDATED 11/29/16*LJ *TR

2004 HONDA ACCORD V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AT ONLY 145,000 MILES. I CALLED A FEW TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND THE 2003, 2004, & 2005 HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE V6 ENGINE ARE KNOWN TO GO OUT AROUND THIS MILEAGE. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY DENIED THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG. I CHECKED OTHER ONLINE FORUMS AND THEY ALL STATE THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, A CLICKING NOISE STARTED TO EMERGE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. IN 2004,THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED THROUGH A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000.

WHILE DRIVING, I HEAR AND FEEL A LOUD THUMP, THE CAR BEGINS TO JERK, SLOWS DOWN, AND THREE DIFFERENT LIGHTS APPEAR ALL AT ONCE ON THE DASHBOARD. IT'S BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG. I AM AWARE THAT HONDA PASSED A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION ON THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF MY CAR, BUT MY CAR WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE RECALL, BECAUSE MY VIN # DIDN'T APPLY. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND ALL VIN #'S THAT SHARE THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AS I SHOULD BE AWARDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS RECALL OPTION AS WELL.

TAKATA RECALL ON JULY 19, 2016 MY WIFE WAS RETURNING FROM A LUNCHEON ABOUT 2PM ON HWY 111 ON A SUNNY, DRY AFTERNOON FOLLOWING TRAFFIC WITHIN SPEED LIMITS WHEN TO THE BEST OF HER RECOLLECTION THE AIR BIG EXPLODED CAUSING PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO MY WIFE. SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE' THIS ACCIDENT RESULTED IN THE TOTAL LOSS OF THE ACCORD. ABOUT SIX OR EIGHT WEEKS AGO I TOOK THE ACCORD IN TO THE HONDA DEALER IN CATHEDRAL CITY AND REQUESTED THAT THE AIR BAG BE INSPECTED AS A WAS AWARE OF A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2016. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR BAG WAS SAFE AND NOTHING WAS DONE ON THE CAR. I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL WORK ON THIS AIR BAG (REPLACE PARTS) SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE DEALER AND THIS ACCIDENT WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED.

CLEAR COAT IS PEELING.

CAR IS NOT STARTING WE CHECKED EVERYTHING ON THE CAR.

2004 ACCORD TRANSMISSION BEGAN LEAKING AT THE SAME TIME AS ABS TROUBLE, WHAT SEEMS TO BE SUSPENSION PROBLEMS (BAD SPRINGS?), HOOD STRUTS FAILED. THESE ALL HAPPENED ABOUT A MONTH AFTER ONE DEALER REPLACED AN ENGINE MOUNT AND LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID CONTAINER. THE TRUNK OPENING SWITCH WOULD NOT WORK BUT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I HAD THE ABS LOOKED AT AT ANOTHER DEALER AND FOR $100 AN "ELECTRICAL SWITCH" UNDER THE GAS PEDAL WAS REPLACED. THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING AGAIN. THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE FIXED FOR $2000 AND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. I SAW MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT TRANSMISSION LEAKS ONLINE AND ABOUT THE GAS DOOR NOT OPENING. THE DEALER DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT. (ENGINE MOUNTS AND HOOD STRUTS ARE POPULAR ITEMS ON AMAZON.) I WAS LUCKY THAT MY HEAD WASN'T UNDER THERE WHEN THE HOOD FELL. I HAD OPENED THE HOOD TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND WENT TO THE TRUNK TO GET SOME, WHEN IT FELL. I WAS ABLE TO REPLACE THEM FROM AMAZON. I HAD THE ENGINE CUT OUT TWICE WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN AFTER LAST INSPECTION. I LOST STEERING AND SAW THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON SO I QUICKLY STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN. ABOUT A MONTH APART. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. IT SEEMS STRANGE TO ME THAT ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 6 MONTHS AFTER AN INSPECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AND A SQUEALING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND OBSERVED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS LEAKING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V222000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 198,678.

IN SPRING 2014 I CONTACTED US GOVT NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. AT WHICH TIME THEY INDICATED THAT HONDA HAD AN OPEN INVESTIGATION FOR AIR BAGS AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOYING. THE LADY ON THE PHONE TOLD ME TO CALL HONDA AND MAKE I REPORT WHICH I DID. HONDA HAD ME CONTACT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHICH INDICATED THAT IT WOULD BE $395 TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. I GOT BACK OF HOLD OF HONDA & TOLD THEM I WOULD NOT PAY FOR THEM TO INVESTIGATE THEIR AIR BAG ALMOST KILLING MY DAUGHTER, WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILST DRIVING, NOT HITTING ANYTHING. FORTUNATELY FOR HER, IT WAS A SLOW SPEED WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND SHE WAS NOT HURT. TODAY I STOPPED AT HONDA CORTLAND OH APOSTILAKAS, I DIDN'T GET A WRITTEN ESTIMATE. HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $1600 IN MATERIALS AND AN INDETERMINATE AMOUNT OF WORK HOURS TO PERFORM THE LABOR. AIR BAG DISABLES THE HEATER AND OTHER FUNCTIONS ON THE CAR, THUS IT NEEDS REPLACED OR PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO USE MY CAR AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL OF AIR BAGS. HOW CAN I KNOW IF MY CAR IS IN DANGER OF KILLING ME OR MY PRECIOUS GRANDDAUGHTERS IF MY CAR IS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY? PLEASE ADVISE ON ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS. I HAVE HAD THE AIRBAGS REPLACED ON A RECALL ALREADY, BUT HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REPLACEMENTS.

JAN. 2015 TRAVELING AT 25 TO 30 MPH, DRIVER FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED CAUSING WHEEL TO TURN SIDEWAYS IN WHEEL WELL, WHICH RESULTED IN DISABLING VEHICLE, SEPERATED CV SHAFT AND FENDER DAMAGE. NO INJURIES AND HAD TO HAVE TOWED. MAY 2015 TRAVELING 20 TO 25 MPH, PASSENGER LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED CAUSING WHEEL TO TURN SIDEWAYS IN WHEEL WELL, RESULTED IN DISABLING VEHICLE AND DAMAGE TO FENDER. LOCAL POLICE WERE CALLED, NO INJURIES AND VEHICLE TOWED. JULY 2016 BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, PASSENGER FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED, CAUSING WHEEL TO TURN SIDEWAYS IN WHEEL WELL, RESULTED IN DISABLING VEHICLE, DAMAGE TO FENDER, SEPARATED CV SHAFT, AND DENTED THE OIL PAN, NO INJURIES. THERE IS A FAULT IN THE DESIGN OF THE LOWER BALL JOINT PLACEMENT, THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE IS NATURALLY CAUSING THE BALL TO PRESS AGAINST THE RETAINING EDGE OF THE SOCKET, RESULTING IN METAL ON METAL CONTACT CAUSING THE RETAINING EDGE TO WEAR RESULTING IN SEPARATION OF THE BALL JOINT. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS WOULD BE TO REDESIGN THE FRONT SUSPENSION STEERING KNUCKLE AND LOWER CONTROL ARM. THE BALL JOINT SHOULD BE PRESSED INTO THE SOCKET WITH WEIGHT ON THE WHEELS NOT PULLING IT APART. MY ONLY SUGGESTIONS UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS, IS GO TO A SERVICE GARAGE AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE BALL JOINTS WITH A PRY BAR BETWEEN THE STEERING KNUCKLE AND LOWER CONTROL ARM, IF THERE IS MOVEMENT HAVE IT REPLACED AND KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS. JUST SHAKING THE WHEEL BY HAND ISN'T ENOUGH TO SEE THE MOVEMENT. DO N

TAKATA RECALL: MY CAR WAS PURCHASED IN COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS AND SPENT ITS FIRST ELEVEN YEARS IN AUSTIN, TEXAS WHERE THE HEAT AND MOISTURE WAS PREVALENT AS ALLEGED IN THE REPORTS OF CAUSES FOR FAILURES OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS YET MY CAR IS NEVER LISTED IN THE RECALL LISTS. AND WITH THE RECENT URGINGS OF THE NHTSA FOR OLDER VEHICLES FROM THAT REGION BEING AMONG THOSE IN MOST URGENT NEED OF HAVING THE AIRBAGS REPLACED I AM CONSIDERING HAVING THEM REPLACED ANYWAY AT MY OWN EXPENSE. MY QUESTIONS ARE: WILL I BE REIMBURSED WHEN MY CAR IS FINALLY RECALLED AND WHY ISN'T MY CAR INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS?

"TAKATA RECALL" MY LOCAL PAPER STATED THAT YOU HAVE DECLARED ALL HONDA AIR BAGS TO BE UNSAFE, PARTICULARLY THOSE FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORDS LOCATED IN THE HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY ASSOCIATED WITH FLORIDA. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY CAR IS "COMPLETELY SAFE". I DON'T FEEL SAFE AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT NHTSA IS DOING ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THANKS

NOTHING

THE PANEL LIGHTS ON THE RADIO HAS WENT OUT. I CAN'T RECALL IF IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING OR NOT, BUT I NOTICED IT WHILE DRIVING. IN THE 2004 HONDA ACCORD, THE AC, RADIO, & CLOCK SHARE THE SAME DISPLAY. IT WAS RAINING THE OTHER NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND MY WINDOWS FOGGED UP. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THE DEFROST BUTTON AT NIGHT SINCE ALL THE DISPLAY LIGHTS STOP WORKING. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY HONDA WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS ISSUE TO ENSURE THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE SAFE WHILE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE RADIO FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PADS, DOME LIGHT, AND MULTIPLE PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 252,869.

DRIVING ON I-205 AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. ENGINE WOULD GO FROM NORMAL TO RACING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. GOT OFF AND PARKED TO PICK UP A FRIEND AND IT WOULD NOT GO IN TO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF THE SPOT. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. FOR ABOUT $4500. THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT 47000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME.

THE EXTERIOR PAINT OF ENTIRE CARE IS PEELING AS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES. HONDA USED VERY POOR PAINT QUALITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE SPED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A RETAINING WALL. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIBS AND HAD A LOT OF INTERNAL BRUISING, INCLUDING LACERATIONS FROM THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE INJURIES REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,655.

SOMETIME BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015, IT WAS NOTICEABLE THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD JERK FORWARD (IT BEGAN AS A JERK TO HALF AN INCH AND AS TIME PASSED THE JERK INCREASED TO AN INCH FORWARD). SPECIFICALLY THIS OCCURS DURING AN ABRUPT STOP (I.E. AT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN, TRAFFIC STOP, ETC.). I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE DUE TO A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. IT IS CONCERNING THAT AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR DUE TO THE LACK OF SAFETY FROM A MANEUVERED DRIVING POSITION AS THE SEAT JERKS FORWARD AND COULD JUST AS WELL BE A DISTRACTION. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING A DISCOMFORT IN MY NECK AND SHOULDER AREA DUE TO THE CONSTANT JERKING FORWARD.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

TAKATA RECALL ,I GOT IN CONTACT WITH HONDA CORP ABOUT RECALL ON AIRBAGS AND HONDA TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE RECALL ,I TOLD THEM THAT MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO HAVE IT FIXED AT MY EXPENSE ,SO I DID NOT NOT TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL AND LIKE A MONTH AFTER I CONTACTED THEM ,MY WIFE WAS HIT IN THE FRONT END OF CAR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND THE ACCIDENT WAS NOT NOT EVEN A HARD COMPACT ACCIDENT ,I'M GLAD NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR IN THE ACCIDENT ,ITS VERY SAD TO SEE SEE A COMPANY LIKE HONDA CORP ,NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THERE ACTIONS AND PUT PEOPLES LIFE IN DANGER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,200.

4 CYLINDER AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING DURING ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP. TRANSMISSION WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO HER FORWARD WHEN BREAKING AND AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED AT JUST OVER 54,000 MILES AND WILL NOT UPSHIFT. THE CAR WILL ONLY GO ABOUT 20 MPH, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS ENGAGED, IT ONLY REVS UP THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE REDLINES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO A HIGHER GEAR.

TEXTBOOK CASE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE FOR MY '04 HONDA ACCORD V-6 ON FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2015. CAR FAILED ON THE 15 FWY OUTSIDE OF BARSTOW, CA AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE LOS ANGELES AREA. WHEN I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. MY CAR, THOUGH 11 YEARS OLD, HAD ONLY 89.5K MILES ON IT. IT HAD BEEN SERVICED AT ALL TIMES BY MY HONDA DEALER, INCLUDING TRANSMISSION SERVICE 3 TIMES, INCLUDING JANUARY OF 2015. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION. HONDA QUOTED ME $5,642.40 FOR THE REPAIR, AND ALSO IN A LETTER DATED 6/24/15 CONFIRMED THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. I "ESCALATED" MY COMPLAINT TO AMERICAN HONDA AND WAS OFFERED $250 "CUSTOMER LOYALTY CARD" WHICH I INITIALLY DECLINED. I THEN CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AGAIN AND RECEIVED A $300 CARD FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THAT WHEN MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME BY HONDA THE ENTIRE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM WAS MISSING!! IT TOOK THE HONDA DEALERSHIP 3 DAYS T CONTACT ME AND RETURN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM. I BOUGHT THIS HONDA ACCORD BRAND NEW FROM THE HONDA DEALER AND AM THE ONLY OWNER/DRIVER. I STILL AM WITHOUT A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO REASON THAT A TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP, SHOULD FAIL WITH LESS THAN 90,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. HAD I NOT BEEN IN THE DESERT WITH LIGHTER TRAFFIC, I WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN EXTREME CRASH WITH OTHER VEHICLES. HONDA SHOULD REPAIR MY VEHICLE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CURRENT RECALL FAILS TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL VIN THAT WERE AFFECTED. TH

PAINT DELAMINATION

THE RADIO/CD PLAYER HASN'T WORKED ABOUT 95% OF THE LIFE OF THIS CAR. WHEN IT DOES IN FACT DECIDE TO TURN ON OUT OF NOWHERE, IT CREATES AN EXTREMELY LOUD STATIC NOISE THAT GREATLY STARTLES THE DRIVER, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING 02-18-2016, MY HONDA WAS IN THE LAST GEAR BUT SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO A POWER GEAR CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK. MY CHILDREN AND I WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED BUT THE F-150 TRUCK BEHIND IS SWERVED TO KEEP FROM BITTING US. I WAS VERY AFRAID ALSO CAUSE THE SEAT BELT AROUND MY CHILDREN TIGHTENED TO THE POINT WHERE MY BABY BOY STARTED CRYING CAUSE IT WAS LIKE IT CHOKED HIM. AFTER DROPPING THEM OFF, I GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT WHICH IS ON A HILL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. PUT IN PARK AND CUT OFF AND CAR THEN WENT INTO GEAR BUT DID NOT CHANGE FEARS TO WHERE IT REVED UP THE RPMS. CRUISED DOWN HILL TO MY HOME AND DECIDED TO BACK UP AND THE CAR WOULD IT EVEN BACK UP. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE CAUSE THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH HONDA AND ALL THE CAN TELL ME IS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL I. MY CAR EXCEPT FOR THE POWER STEERING. I DID RESEARCH AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS IF NOT THE SAME.

I WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE AND PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I WAS WITHIN 2 FEET OF THE CONCRETE WALL AND FOOT OVER BREAK WHEN MY CAR ACCELERATED WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAG AND PUSH THE FRAME INTO THE RADIATOR. IT HAPPENED SO FAST, I TRIED TO BRAKE BUT IT WAS OVER WITHIN SECONDS. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOING MORE THAN 2MPH OR LESS AS I DID NOT EVEN HAVE FOOT ON GAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SIDE GEAR FAILED AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASE OF ENGINE RPMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 192,000. UPDATED 04/04/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE NOSE DIVED AS IF THE BRAKES HAD BEEN APPLIED.*JS

THE CAR RADIO DOES NOT WORK, IT WILL TURN OFF SUDDENLY AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY TIME WILL COME BACK ON AND THE LOUD UNANTICIPATED NOISE STARTLES THE DRIVER. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF THE RADIO SWITCH IS TURNED OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO FUNCTION. AS A RESULT, ALL THE METERS AND GAUGES DISPLAYED INCORRECT READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,000.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH MY HONDA ACCORD HIT A TREE AT ABOUT 40 MPH AFTER SLIDING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO ICE AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! THE HOOD WAS BLOWN OFF AND THERE WAS ENGINE DAMAGE, BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAGS WERE RECENTLY REPLACED BY BROWN'S HONDA IN ARLINGTON DUE TO THE "TAKATA RECALL". THEY CLEARLY EITHER DIDN'T REPLACE THEM OR DIDN'T INSTALL THEM CORRECTLY.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM DENTAL APPT, VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATION ALL OF A SUDDEN; DRIVING NORMALLY IN TRAFFIC THEN CAR STARTED TO JERK/ AND RPMS STARTED TO GET HIGHER BEFORE SLOWING DOWN. CAR THEN SLOWS IN TRAFFIC AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH SHIFT IS ENGAGED IN DRIVE. WAS ABLE TO NURSE MY CAR TO MECHANIC'S SHOP, DETERMINED TRANSMISSION FAILURE $4100 TO REBUILD!! CALLED HONDA, WAS TOLD CAR IS NOT COVERED BY RECALL, PLUS SINCE IT HAS 97K MILES AND 12-YEARS IT IS NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THANKS HONDA FOR STANDING BEHIND YOUR PRODUCTS...WILL BE LOOKING AT NEW FORDS THIS WEEK.....THANK GOOD THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT A RELATIVELY SAFE SIDE STREET. COULD REALLY CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT!!

CAR IS SERVICED AS SPECIFIED, NO ISSUES (SECOND OWNER FOR 5 YEARS). WITHOUT WARNING, TRANSMISSION FAILED. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON SURFACE STREETS, MADE ODD SOUND AND STOPPED OPERATING.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF I HAVE TAKATA AIR BAGS IN MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD AND WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I WROTE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE IN TORRANCE, CA AND ALL THEY WOULD TELL ME IN A PHONE CALL IS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND TO CONTACT THE NHTSA FOR INFORMATION AS TO WHY MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD IS NOT IN THE RECALL. DOES MY VEHICLE HAVE TAKATA AIR BAGS? IF IT DOES WHY IS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL? HONDA SAID I SHOULD TAKE MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER AND PAY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED IF I WANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF AIR BAGS ARE IN MY VEHICLE. I SEE THAT 2004 HONDA ACCORDS ARE INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF AFFECTED VEHICLES FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL - WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL? I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER. IS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD SAFE TO DRIVE?

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD AND WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30 MPH. SHE HAD MY 12 YR OLD IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND GOT TOO CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF A ROAD THAT DIDN'T HAVE A SHOULDER. IT PULLED THE TIRES OFF AND SHE OVERCOMPENSATED SWERVING BACK ONTO THE ROAD. THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR COMING SO SHE SWERVED BACK TOWARDS THE DITCH AND HIT A POWER POLE HEAD ON. THE AIRBAG ON DRIVERS SIDE DEPLOYED BUT SLOWLY AND WITH VERY LITTLE FORCE AT ALL. MY DAUGHTER DESCRIBED IT AS FALLING OUT AND BARELY INFLATING. HOWEVER, THE OTHER DAUGHTER'S AIRBAG SHOT OUT HARD AND FAST AND CAUSED HER TO BREAK A BONE IN HER RT DOMINANT HAND. SHE HAD TO HAVE SURGERY ON THAT KNUCKLE/FINGER USING THREE PINS. THEY HAD TO EVENTUALLY GO BACK AND DO SURGERY TO REMOVE THEM SINCE THEY BURIED UNDER THE SKIN. I WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS SINCE I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR.

I AM ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR PURCHASED AT BEGINNING OF 2004. 12 YEARS LATER WE ARE HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 90,000 MILES. I CALLED HONDA BECAUSE THEIR WEBSITE LISTED THE RECALL FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL BUT WHEN I SEARCHED IT BY VIN NO RECALL APPLIES. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VIN. I ASKED THEM HOW THEY DETERMINE THAT. IS THERE A SERIAL NUMBER CUT OFF AFTER WHICH HONDA MADE CHANGES AND THEY CAN PROVE MY CAR IS NOT EFFECTED? THE ANSWER WAS "ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS YOUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL". WELL, I DID SOME RESEARCH AS MY VEHICLE WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 04V-176 HAS RELATED DOCUMENTS ON FILE AND ONE OF THEM BEING A LETTER DATED JUNE 28 2004 FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC. SIGNED BY A WILLIAM R. WILLEN. THIS LETTER CLEARLY IDENTIFIES MY CAR AS BEING INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RELATED RECALL AND I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL IN LATE 2004. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE. SOME HOW MY CAR EXPERIENCED NO ISSUES UNTIL 2015, BUT THE ISSUES DID EVENTUALLY SHOW UP. NOW TODAY MY CAR WAS FAILING TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO TRYING TO DOWNSHIFT TO LOW GEARS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEN SUDDENLY FAILED TO DRIVE AT ALL. WE HAD SOME INDICATIONS IN THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION DRAINED AND FILLED 4 TIMES TO TRY TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. I TALKED WITH TWO CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANICS WHO BOTH TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FAIL AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. WELL, THEY

THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AS JUST LOOKING IT UP TODAY ANOTHER PERSON SUFFERED THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE, DOWN TO THE EXACT CONVERSATION WITH HONDA. WE AHVE HAD THE '04 HONDA ACCORD FOR 4ISH YEARS NOW. IT HAS DRIVEN GREAT SINCE WE BOUGHT IT AND TESTED FINE WITH THE HONDA DEALER BEFORE PURCHASING. ALL OF A SUDDEN WE STARTED EXPERIENCING SOME SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION. WE IMMEDIATLY HAD THE SYSTEM FLUSHED AND FILLED AND ALL SEEMED TO BE GOOD, FOR ABOUT A WEEK. 3 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, MY WIFE WAS GETTING ONTO A BUSY SECTION OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO ACCELORATE NEARLY GETTING RUN OVER BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND GET HOME SAFELY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THE RECALL NOTICE BASED OFF THE MODELS MAKE AND YEAR. SEARCHING THE VIN CAME BACK AS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT PROBLEMS OUTLINED IN THE TRANSMISSION RECALL NOTICE. I CALLED HONDA AND SPOKE TO A VERY FRIENDLY REPRESENTATIVE THAT SIMPLY INFORMED ME THE SAME THING ANOTHER CUSTOMER WAS TOLD THE SAME DAY..."YOUR VIN DOESN'T FALL INTO THE LIST OF EFFECTED UNITS. YOU SHOULD HAVE A HONDA REPAIR CENTER DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE ISSUE." I HOPE THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS STARTED AND THIS IS FOUND TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND HONDA WORKS WITH ALL CURRENT OWNERS TO GET THIS REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

POWER STEERING HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES AND IT STILL MAKES THE SAME NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, ONCE IT WARMS UP THE NOISE IS NO LONGER HEARD. SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER A CLICKING NOISE IS HEARD AND IT'S LIKE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF BUT IT'S STILL ON. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH AT 60 MILES PER HOUR OR 25 MILES PER HOUR. I CAN'T ACCELERATE I HAVE HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN START IT BACK UP. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 3 YEARS A FEW TIMES MOST RECENTLY BEING IN DECEMBER 2015

THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER BETWEEN NORMAL OUTPUT AND DIM OUTPUT MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO VERIFY IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE EVEN OPERATIONAL AT TIMES MUCH LESS SEE IN FRONT OF YOU WHILE DRIVING. IT LOOKS AS IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE RAPIDLY TURNING OFF AND ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW BUT EVERY TIME IT'S TAKEN TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I HAVE PAID HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS REPAIRING RANDOM THINGS HONDA "THINKS" MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT'S STILL A MAJOR ISSUE THAT AFFECTS SAFETY OF THE HONDA DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING.
