2004 Honda Accord complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,036.

04 HONDA ACCORD V6- D(4) LIGHT STARTS BLINKING. BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP FOR DIAGNOSES; 4TH GEAR PRESSURE SWITCH. REPLACED 4TH GEAR PRESSURE SWITCH. CAR SEEMS TO BE WORKING BETTER. 3 DAYS LATER; CAR ONLY GOES UNDER COOL CONDITIONS (TRANNY SEEMS TO WORK WHEN THE CAR HAS NOT REACHED REGULAR / RECOMMENDED OPERATING TEMPERATURE). WHEN IT REACHES NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, THE MOTOR STARTS REVVING, EVEN IN D. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE AT A STOP AND ON A HIGHWAY. WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR HAD ALREADY WARMED UP, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THEN SUDDENLY JERKED BACK. THE FEELING IS LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR DOWNSHIFTING WITHOUT PRESSING ON THE GAS; IT JERKS THEN DECELERATES. AND FROM THERE IT JUST REVS AND REVS, LIKE IT'S NOT CATCHING THE GEARS. SO I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY A FEW TIMES, THANKS TO THIS NON-WORKING TRANSMISSION. WHEN THIS OCCURS ON THE SMALL ROADS, I WOULD THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR WILL ENGAGE INTO GEAR AGAIN, BUT NOT FOR LONG. THIS IS A PROBABLE SIGN OF OVERHEATING WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAN PROBABLY CAUSE THE TRANNY TO SLIP? NOT 100% SURE BECAUSE I'M NOT A MECHANIC. SO I WAS REFERRED TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA FOR A RECALL INQUIRY, AND OF COURSE, MY VIN# DOESN'T HAVE AN OPEN RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION, MEANING I PRETTY MUCH SCREWED MYSELF FROM THE START WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE'S A SKETCHY TRANSMISSION IN IT. EVEN IF I GOT IT REPLACED, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT THE REP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V351000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THIS REPORTED ISSUE IS NOT SPECIFIC TO MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD, BUT APPLIES TO MANY VEHICLES. ON ALMOST A WEEKLY BASIS, I SEE PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR CARS AT NIGHT ON FREEWAYS AND CITY STREETS WITHOUT THEIR LIGHTS ON, POSING A DANGER TO OTHER MOTORISTS WHO MIGHT NOT SEE THEM. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THIS CAN BE SOLVED SIMPLY: CHANGE THE LIGHT SWITCH TO NOT ILLUMINATE THE DASHBOARD UNLESS THE LIGHTS ARE ON. MY CAR ALWAYS HAS ITS DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIGHTS ARE ON OR NOT. THERE IS A SMALL "IDIOT LIGHT" OF A GREEN HEADLIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT IT HARDLY NOTICEABLE. IF INSTEAD THE CAR'S DASHBOARD WOULD BE DARK WHEN THE LIGHTS AREN'T ON (LIKE IN 25+ YEAR-OLD CARS), I BELIEVE MOST DRIVERS WOULD BE MUCH LESS LIKELY TO FORGET TO TURN THEIR LIGHTS ON -- DO YOU AGREE? *TR

HONDA ACCORD WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WHEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG SENSOR DID COME ON BUT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAG SENSOR REMAINS ON AFTER IMPACT. *TR

BATTERY LIGHT CONTINUALLY FLICKERS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT FLICKERS, MY HEADLIGHTS GET VERY DIM, MY A/C FANS FLUCTUATE IN SPEED, AND MY AFTERMARKET STEREO AMPLIFIERS (2) CUT OUT. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE THEY TESTED THE BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR. BATTERY HAD A DEAD CELL BUT WAS STILL HOLDING A CHARGE. STARTER AND ALTERNATOR TESTED OK. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY ON THE SPOT. THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO GET CHECKED AT MULTIPLE AUTO PARTS STORES AND THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP. NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG. EVERY DAY SEEMS TO GET A LITTLE WORSE. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THE BATTERY LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND THE CAR LOSES POWER INTERMITTENTLY ALONG WITH ALL OF THE OTHER SYMPTOMS I HAVE ALREADY LISTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V700000 (AIR BAGS) AND 14V351000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE DEALER FAILED TO PROVIDE A CLEAR EXPLANATION OF WHAT PARTS WERE REPLACED FOR BOTH RECALL REPAIRS. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS CRACKED, THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW AND THAT THE ANTIFREEZE WAS DIRTY. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BUT DID NOT COMPLETE BOTH RECALL REPAIRS AND DID NOT CONFIRM IF THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEALERS REPAIRS AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO REMEDY BOTH RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT STARTED POURING RAIN. I TURNED ON MY WIPERS. WHEN THE WIPERS WERE IN A VERTICAL POSITION THEY STOPPED. I IMMEDIATELY LOST VISIBILITY BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING SO HARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE WIPER SPEED LEVER IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT POSITIONS BUT NOTHING WOULD MAKE THEM WORK. I CHECKED THE FUSES WHILE I WAITED ON THE RAIN TO STOP. ONCE IT STOPPED RAINING, I RETURNED THE WIPERS TO THE DOWN POSITION AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WIPER MOTOR AND ALSO THE WIPER SWITCH. THE WIPER MOTOR WAS RECALLED FOR THE 2003 ACCORD. I FEEL LIKE A SIMILAR RECALL SHOULD BE DONE FOR THE 2004 ACCORDS. *TR

ON 10/27/14 I WENT TO HTTP://WWW.HONDA.COM/RECALLS AND DISCOVERED A SAFETY RECALL ON THE FRONT AIRBAGS OF MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD. ON 10/28/14 I CALLED JIM MCNATT HONDA OF DENTON (4050 INTERSTATE 35 FRONTAGE RD, DENTON, TX 76210) AT (888) 605-6932. THEY SAID THE PARTS WERE BACK ORDERED BUT THEY WOULD CALL AND LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY WERE AVAILABLE. ON 11/22/14 JIM MCNATT REPLACED MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG BUT THEY TOLD ME THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS STILL ON BACK ORDER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT CAME IN. ON 2/6/15 I RECEIVED THE OFFICIAL SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND ON 2/7/15 I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL FROM AMERICAN HONDA REGARDING THE RECALL. ON 2/6/15 I CALLED JIM MCNATT ADVISING THEM OF THE NOTICE I RECEIVED AND ASKED IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG PART, THE ONE REQUESTED ON 10/28/14, WAS AVAILABLE. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS THAT IT?S BEEN ALMOST THREE MONTHS AND NO-ONE FROM JIM MCNATT HAS CONTACTED ME REGARDING THE BACK ORDERED PART. THE SERVICE ADVISER TOLD ME HE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME ON 2/25/15 TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS WOULD AT A MINIMUM GIVE HIM A REMINDER TO CALL ME BEFORE 2/25/15 IF THE PART WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. AS OF 3/22/15 I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM JIM MCNATT AND MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS STILL NOT REPAIRED. THE RECALL NOTICE STATED THAT IF AMERICAN HONDA OR THE DEALER HAS FAILED TO REPAIR THE DEFECT WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM THE TIME I FIRST CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP (10/28/14) I MAY SUBMIT A COMPLAINT TO THE NHTSA (SAFECAR.GOV). AMERICA

2004 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR SIX WEEKS, BECAUSE THE MECHANIC ACCIDENTALLY STRIPPED A NUT ON THE WHEEL. THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS RECTIFIED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE RPM NEEDLE BEGAN OSCILLATING RAPIDLY BETWEEN LOW AND HIGH NUMBERS AND THE CAR WAS IN A DISTRESSED STATE. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER AND DROVE SLOWLY TO AN EXIT AT WHICH POINTI HAD TO STOP AT A REDLIGHT. ONCE GREEN, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE CAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR, INCLUDING REVERSE. I CALLED THE POLICE WHO PUSHED ME OUT OF THE ROAD TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE HONDA FACILITY I USE FOR MAINTENANCE ADVISED THAT I HAVE A TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COMPANY TO ASSIST. *TR

THE POWER STEERING HOSES DEVELOPED A LEAK CAUSING TURNS TO BE VERY DIFFICULT. THE CAR IS A 4 CYLINDER. LOOKED UP RECALLS AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY RECALLED THE HOSES FOR THE 6 CYLINDER AND NOT THE 4. LOSING POWER STEERING IN A TURN CAN BE PRETTY DANGEROUS. *JS

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS . SPECIFICALLY, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR WENT FROM 60 MPH DOWN TO 35 MPH AND WOULD NOT SLIP INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENED AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO ANOTHER FREEWAY. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL WHICH IT WAS NOT. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE AS OTHER VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS MY CAR NEARLY CAME TO A HALT ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY, I PRAYED MY WAY INTO GEAR AND IT WORKED. IT WAS QUITE SCARY SINCE I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY CHILD I EASILY COULD OF BEEN REAR ENDED. NO SENSOR LIGHTS TURNED ON, THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED ROUTINELY AND 2 DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I READ UP ON THE PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON. ON ONE SITE I SAW OVER 200 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND SAME MAKE OF THE CAR. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MANY MORE COMPLAINTS THERE HAVE BEEN. I HOPE THAT THE FEDERAL AGENCY AND HONDA ACT RESPONSIBLY AND PAY FOR THE RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR

TRANSMISSION SUDDEN TOTAL FAILURE, WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS INDICATION OR SYMPTOMS, WHILE ENTERING A FREEWAY AT AN ON RAMP. NEAR END OF ON RAMP AT ABOUT 35 MPH, VEHICLE WAS MERGING INTO EXISTING TRAFFIC THAT WAS COMING FASTER THAN 35MPH WHEN CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING BUT SLOWING INSTEAD. NEARLY REAR END COLLISION FROM TRAFFIC AND SUBSEQUENT TRAFFIC SNARL AS THERE WAS NO PLACE TO GO, NOR ANY ABILITY TO MAKE IT GO. *TR

CLEAR COAT BEGAN DETERIORATING 2009 AND HAS RAPIDLY EFFECTED THE ENTIRE CAR. I HAVE OWNED 3 ACCORDS, LOVE THE HONDA PRODUCT BUT NOT HAPPY WITH THE OBVIOUS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT USED ON MY CAR AND MILLIONS OF OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA SHOULD BE WILLING TO COMPLETELY REPAINT ALL CARS EFFECTED, REGARDLESS OF AGE, MILEAGE, ETC. COMPETITION IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH. I WOULD THINK HONDA WOULD WANT TO HANG ONTO AS MANY OF THEIR REPEAT PURCHASE CUSTOMERS AS POSSIBLE. DOING THE RIGHT THING IS ALWAYS THE FIRST THING TO DO. *TR

THE DISPLAY WHERE THE HEATER AND RADIO IS DOES NOT LIGHT UP, WE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEH 2/12/15... I TRIED TO DRIVE IT LAST NIGHT AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AFTER DARK, U CAN'T SEE TO TURN KNOBS/BUTTONS OR ANY THING TO DO W/THE HEATER....U HAVE TO TURN OVERHEAD DONE LIGHTS ON TO SEE THE BUTTONS, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MOVED INTO THE LEFT LANE AND ATTEMPTED TO PASS, STEPPING DOWN ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. SUDDENLY MY (AUTOMATIC) TRANSMISSION SLIPPED COMPLETELY OUT OF GEAR, MY TACHOMETER RED-LINED AS THE ENGINE REVVED HARD, AND THE CARD DECELERATED RAPIDLY. I WAS NEARLY HIT FROM BEHIND BUT FORTUNATE THAT THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS PAYING ATTENTION. I SLOWED RAPIDLY, BUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS DIDN'T COME ON, BECAUSE I WASN'T BRAKING! MY CAR SLOWED TO DANGEROUSLY LOW SPEEDS IN THE LEFT LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO GIVE THE CAR GAS IT WAS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL AND WOULDN'T PROVIDE DRIVE. FINALLY AT AROUND 20MPH IT STARTED GRIPPING, BUT IF I TRIED TO ACCELERATE MUCH THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO MERGE BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE, WHICH WAS SCARY BECAUSE THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE GOING FULL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I DROVE ALONG THE SHOULDER VERY SLOWLY UNTIL I COULD MAKE IT TO THE FIRST EXIT AND LIMP MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP. MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED A COMPLETE REBUILD. NO ONLY SHOULD THIS NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR WITH RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE THAT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, BUT THIS FAILURE WAS DANGEROUS! IT HAPPENED COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE. IT CAUSED A RAPID DECELERATION AND A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND PLACED ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL. I RESEARCHED MY PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT HONDA HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR AUTOM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE SRS LIGHT OF MY 04 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN ON SINCE LATE 2011. SINCE IT'S A LONG DRIVE, I ADJUSTED THE POSITION OF MY DRIVER'S SEAT TO MAKE MYSELF COMFORTABLE. SOMEHOW, THE SRS LIGHT STARTED TO TURN ON AND IT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE, INDICATING THE AIRBAG MIGHT BE DEACTIVATED. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND REALIZED IT'S A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE RELATED TO DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION SENSOR HARNESS. HONDA ANNOUNCED A SAFETY RECALL BACK IN JANUARY 2007 TO FIX THIS ISSUE FOR SOME VEHICLES OF CERTAIN MODELS. THE MODEL I HAVE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT NOT THE PARTICULAR VEHICLE I HAVE. I CONTACTED HONDA FOR EXPLANATION AND THEY INSISTED IT BE MY OWN RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THIS DIAGNOSED AND FIXED. MANY HONDA OWNERS INCLUDING MYSELF JUST NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE THAT WE THINK WE DESERVE. RELATING THIS TO THE RECENT HONDA SCANDAL OF UNDER-REPORTING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE DIED IN HONDA VEHICLES, IT COULD BE A SIMILAR SCHEME OF PRACTICE OF UNDER ESTIMATING THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I FINALLY GOT A RECALL NOTICE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO REGARDING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR ISSUE AND I THOUGHT BOTH THE SRS AND INFLATOR ISSUES WOULD BE FIXED WITH A SINGLE SERVICE. I WAS WRONG AND THE DEALER ONLY TOOK CARE OF THE INFLATOR NOT THE SRS. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY IGNORED MY COMPLAINT ONCE AGAIN. I HOPE FEDERAL REGULATORS CAN INVESTIGATE THIS CASE AND I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE. LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN LOST DUE TO NON-OPENING HONDA AIRBAGS.I BELIEVE IT'S A BIGGER PROBLEM. PLEASE SEE THE LINK BELOW FOR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I CONTACTED THE PAT PECK HONDA DEALERSHIP IN GULFPORT, MS IN OCT 2014 TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR MY DAUGHTER'S CAR BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER AND SHE WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN IT CAME IN. MY DAUGHTER CALLED ONCE TO CHECK ON IT AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE STILL WAITING ON THE PART. ON JAN 3, 2015, SHE CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT AND WAS PASSED AROUND TO APPROXIMATELY 4-5 DIFFERENT PEOPLE/DEPARTMENTS, NONE OF WHOM ACTED LIKE THEY KNEW WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO TRANSFER HER TO. SHE WAS TOLD TO LEAVE A MESSAGE, WHICH SHE DID, AND SHE WAS STILL NOT CALLED BACK. I THEN CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT AND ASKED FOR THE MANAGER, EXPLAINED WHO I WAS AND WHO I WAS CALLING FOR AND ABOUT AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE INITIAL REQUEST IN OCT 2014 AND NO RECORD OF ANY PARTS BEING ORDERED. I WAS ASSURED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WOULD BE ORDERED IMMEDIATELY AND SHE WOULD BE CONTACTED TO SET UP AN APPT. IT IS NOW FEB 3, 2015 AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. WE RECEIVED THE 1ST SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE AIRBAG ISSUE IN THE MAIL TODAY AND NOW THERE IS A 2ND RECALL ON THE SAME AIRBAG(S). I AM CONTACTING THE SERVICE DEPT AGAIN TOMORROW, BUT THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, ON BOTH HONDA'S PART AND ON PAT PECK HONDA'S PART. THE FACT THAT TAKATA IS THE ONLY MANUFACTURER OF THIS AIRBAG IS ALSO HIGHLY CONCERNING, BOTH IN THEIR DENIAL TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND IN THEIR LACK OF CONCERN. HONDA HAS ALWAYS HAD A GREAT REPUTATION AND HIGH RESALE VALUE, BUT THI

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYED ON FOR SOMETIME BEFORE I COULD GET AN APPOINTMENT AT A REPAIR SHOP. AUTO REPAIR MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT FUNCTION DUE TO A FAULTY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. BUCKLE WAS REPLACED ON 12/17/14 & AIR BAGS WERE ENABLED. *TR

CLEAR COAT IS PEELING OFF ON THE ROOF AND TRUNK. DEALER TOOK PICTURES AND CAME BACK TWO MONTHS LATER SAYING THEY WOULD PAINT IT FOR $2,200.00. THIS IS A CLEARLY DOCUMENTED MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. TWO MINUTES ON THE INTERNET WILL CONFIRM THAT. RECENTLY I PAID OVER $2,000.00 FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. AT THAT TIME THEY REMINDED ME WHAT A GOOD INVESTMENT IT WAS AS THE CAR WOULD LAST ANOTHER 100,000 MILES. NOW WITH THE PAINT COMING OFF, MY INVESTMENT IS GONE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. PLEASE HELP ME AN 100'S OTHERS. *TR

2004 HONDA ACCORD LX. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE ON ( QUEENS / NY CITY) GRAND CENTRAL PARKWAY WEST ( AFTER THE EXIT FROM JACKIE ROBINSON PARKWAY, COMING FROM BROOKLYN / NYC). A PICKUP TRUCK IN THE LEFT LANE, SLIGHT BEHIND ME, SKIDDED AT LEAST 3 TIMES PERPENDICULAR TO THE ROAD, HIT ME FIRST ON THE LEFT 2 DOORS AND ON THE 2ND SKID IT HIT ME ON MY (REAR) TRUNK ( LEFT SIDE). THE REAR WINDSHIELD GLASS WAS SHATTERED INTO 1000S OF PIECES. I HAD 4 AIR BAGS IN THE CAR. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS INFLATED. LUCKY FOR ME AND MY WIFE, WE DID NOT SUFFER ANY BROKEN BONES OR CUTS. THE GEICO INSURANCE CO HAS DECLARED MY CAR AS "TOTALED". THE DRIVER SIDE OUTSIDE MIRROR FLEW AWAY. I THINK THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE INFLATED AS THERE WAS A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE CAR NOW IS IN THE POSSESSION OF GEICO INSURANCE COMPANY. I WAS THE ONLY OWNER SINCE AUGUST 2004 ( BRAND NEW CAR). THE CAR PREVIOUSLY WAS IN MINOR ACCIDENT ON THE RIGHT SIDE DOORS (JUST SCRATCHES). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

THE CLEAR COAT ON MY BLACK EXTERIOR PAINT IS PEELING OFF ON THE DOOR PANELS. *TR

AT PASSING SPEED THE CAR JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING AND BEGAN TO DROP SPEED SUDDENLY. THE MOTOR REVVED WITH GAS PEDAL PRESSING BUT IT WENT NOWHERE. IT COASTED TO A STOP. NO WARNING. NO STUTTERING. IT JUST DROPPED SPEED AND WENT NO MORE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CAR STALLED OUT. *TR

CAR WILL NOT SPEED UP AND SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN , BEEN TOLD TRANSMISSION FAILED, NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION. JUST DID TRANSMISSION SERVICE ONE MONTH AGO POWER STEERING OIL LEAK AND CHANGED PIPE AND THEN POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED. *TR

I GOT BACK IN MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AT WAL-MART AND THE CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY IS NO LONGER LIGHTED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF THE WINDOWS FOG UP AND IT IS DARK, YOU CANNOT SEE THE BUTTONS. THE CENTER OF THE CAR THAT SHOULD BE LIGHTED IS COMPLETELY DARK. HONDA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR WANTS TO CHARGE $115.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I READ WHERE THE WARRANTY FOR THIS WAS EXTENDED TO 7 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. MY CAR SHOULD BE COVERED, BUT THE HONDA DEALER SAYS NO. *TR

ANOTHER DEATH COULD BE AVOIDED, THIS CAR WAS RECALLED IN 2014 TOO LATE FOR EA DOMINATION OF THE CAR, AND NOW AFTER SPEAKING WITH ATTORNEYS AGAIN THE AIR BARS ARE INVOLVED. OUR SON WAS SO EVICT RATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO, PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE SCENE . EMT'S WERE HELPLESS, HE LOST HIS FACE AND HIS CHEST. NO PROTECTION FROM THIS VEHICLE, PLEAS NOTIFY OTHERS.

VEHICLE EVENTUALLY DROVE AGAIN AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON BUT STALLED AGAIN/ ISSUE REPEATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE RUPTURED AND FLUID LEAKED ONTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 182,000.

THE GEAR SHIFT RELEASE "BUTTON" DISLODGED FROM THE SHAFT SO YOU WERE UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO A GEAR- IT JUST FELL OUT, NEVER SEEMED LOOSE. WHEN I HAD THE PROBLEM CORRECTED I WAS TOLD BY HONDA THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY PREVELANT IN THE 2004 ACCORD (V-6) AND THAT THEY SELL MANY OF THESE GEAR SHIFT "BUTTONS" A WEEK! THAT TELLS ME THAT THERE IS A SYSTEM-WIDE PROBLEM WITH THIS ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION. *TR

2004 HONDA ACCORD THE AIR BAG IS NOT DESIGNED TO ADJUST TO A PERSON'S WEIGHT. *MW THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE PERMISSION TO DEACTIVATE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAS TO SIT CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO REACH THE PEDALS. *JB

I WAS DRIVING MY NORMAL ROUTE AND COMING UP ON MY RIGHT TURN. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS OF MY CAR WENT BLACK AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER MY CAR. WITHIN SECONDS I TRIED TO BRAKE. MY PEDAL WENT DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR AND MY BRAKES NEVER ENGAGED. I HAD NO STEERING AND NO BRAKES GOING 55MPH (FORCING ME THROUGH A RED LIGHT). I WAS T-BONED BY A SUV AT 60MPH (NO SKID MARKS FOR EITHER OF US)- A FULL IMPACT CRASH. MY SIDE OF THE CAR WAS DESTROYED, MY CAR SENT SPINNING INTO AND TAKING OUT A POLE, AND THEN MY CAR SPUN DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS BEING CUT OUT OF MY CAR AND THEN NOTHING PAST THAT. I SPENT THE NEXT 5-6 DAYS AT 2 DIFFERENT HOSPITALS. I SUFFERED LUNG/HEART/BODY TRAUMA (ESPECIALLY DUE TO AIRBAG AND SEATBELT) AND A MAJOR CONCUSSION. WHEREVER THE AIRBAG HIT AND SEATBELT LAY- I'M A RAINBOW OF COLORS. I AM LOOKING AT A LENGTHY RECOVERY AND UNABLE TO RETURN TO WORK FOR A FEW WEEKS, UNABLE TO TAKE COLLEGE FINALS, NOR CAN I RETURN TO COLLEGE NEXT SEMESTER DUE TO HEART TRAUMA. MY HUSBAND AND I HAD MOMENTS OF BRAKE AND STEERING PROBLEMS SPORADICALLY/OCCASIONALLY IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. EACH TIME WE TOOK IN OUR CAR WE WERE TOLD "WE CAN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS". AND THE NOTORIOUS: "THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR YOUR BRAKES". WE HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND THIS INCIDENT HAS AFFECTED EACH OF US. *TR

MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF SINCE JULY 2014. UNTIL RECENTLY (END OF NOVEMBER 2014), I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. IN TODAY'S WORLD, BUSINESSES ARE NOT EVEN TRYING TO BE RESPONSIBLE TOWARDS THEIR CUSTOMERS AND TRY TO CHARGE FOR AIRBAG LIGHT CHECKING OR REPLACEMENT. TO PROVE IT, EVEN DURING THE MAJOR NATIONAL RECALL FOR HONDA AIRBAG, THE HONDA DEALER: COLUMBUS, OH: GERMAIN HONDA OF DUBLIN 6715 SAWMILL RD DUBLIN, OH 43017 UNITED STATES DECLINES SERVICE. THEY INITIALLY DENIED SERVICE SAYING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OPEN FOR MY VEHICLE BY THE VIN NUMBER, THEN SHE SAID THAT IT WAS ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF SOMETIMES IN 2004. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE 2005 AND WE NEVER HAD IT REPAIRED FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WANT TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT AND NOT LOOK FOR TROUBLE, BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO BE PROACTIVE WHEN THE DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE YOU EVEN WHEN THERE IS A WELL-KNOWN NATIONWIDE RECALL FOR THE VERY PROBLEM YOU ARE REPORTING. PLEASE HELP WITH MAKING IT EASIER FOR CUSTOMERS TO HAVE THEIR CARS REPAIRED WITHOUT HAVING TO FIGHT FOR IT OR CONVINCE THE DEALERS THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THANK YOU! *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER FELL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A BUS TUNNEL AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

POWER STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING ONTO THE EXHAUST FROM THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR 2003-2007 HONDA ACCORDS. HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED. IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. *TR

I WAS HEADING NORTH BOUND AND THE ON COMING VEHICLE WAS HEADING SOUTH BOUND HE MADE A IMPROPER LEFT TURN IN TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR, THE ENTIRE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS DAMAGED HOOD,WINDSCREEN,HEADLIGHTS,RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT FENDER, RADIATOR,AC CONDENSER, HORN AND CHASSIS FRAME. BUT MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED. *TR

MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD V6 TRANSMISSION DECIDED TO DIE ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER THE 15TH. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I REALIZED THE RPM'S WERE GOING UP, BUT I WASN'T GETTING ANY ACCELERATION. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK MY TRANSMISSION FLUID, OIL AND ETC. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. SO I START BACK ON THE ROAD TRYING TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION. THE NEXT THING I KNOW I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A CHAIN BREAKING OFF AND THE CAR JUMPED BACK LIKE I WAS GEARING DOWN REALLY LOW. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND BLACKED OUT FOR A MINUTE. THANKFULLY I HAD SOMEONE WITH ME AND THEY GRABBED THE STEERING WHEEL AND DIRECTED US OFF THE INTERSTATE. WE LIFTED THE HOOD ONCE AGAIN AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. WE HAD NO ISSUES PRIOR TO THE DATE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. I'M EXTREMELY UPSET BY THIS. THE CAR HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND MAINTAINED REGULARLY. MY FAMILY IS HONDA ENTHUSIAST AND HAVE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS. THAT IS WHY WE ALWAYS BOUGHT HONDA'S, FOR THEIR RELIABILITY. I THINK HONDA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FIXED. FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM AFFECTING TONS AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN RECALLED. I THANK GOD I DIDN'T KILL OR HURT ANYONE DURING THIS ORDEAL. *TR

ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2014, AT AROUND 8:20 AM, I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON 880. TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT AND THE ROAD IS VERY SMOOTH IN THAT AREA BECAUSE IT WAS REPAVED IN THE LAST YEAR. MY SPEED WAS 65 MPH. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHTMOST LANE BECAUSE I WAS CLOSE TO MY DESTINATION AND BECAUSE FLOW OF TRAFFIC IS SOMEWHAT HIGHER THAN 65MPH IN THE OTHER LANES. WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT IMPACT FROM ANY OTHER VEHICLES OR FROM ANYTHING ON THE ROAD, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ACTIVATED. ALTHOUGH MY EARS WERE RINGING, I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE NEXT EXIT, HEGENBERGER RD, WHICH WAS ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM WHEN THE AIRBAG EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OTHER INDICATIONS OF PROBLEMS BEFORE THE AIRBAG ACTIVATED. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AGO I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD NOW I AM AFRAID TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IN LIGHT OF THIS NEW INFORMATION ABOUT EXPLODING AIRBAGS.PLEASE KEEP ME UPDATED ON THIS RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR AIR BAG RECALL WITH TAKATA PART -- HONDA FIXED DRIVER SIDE BUT NOW SAYS THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR MY VEHICLE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH 2015 -- HOW CAN THEY ALLOW THE SERIOUSNESS OF SUCH A DEFECT GO ON FOR SO LONG WHILE PUTTING ME AND ANY PASSENGER IN MY AUTO IN POTENTIAL DANGER INCLUDING DEATH. I LIVE IN MIAMI FL WHICH FALLS IN THE MOST HIGH RISK HOT/HUMID AREAS OF THE COUNTRY! *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. BOUGHT VEHICLE USED IN FEB. 2014 FROM DEALER WITH 97,570MI. AT 104,000, TRANSMISSION FAILED. REPAIRS CAN RANGE FROM $4500 TO $3400, WITH EITHER A HONDA REBUILT TRANSMISSION OR MY OWN BEING REBUILT. SINCE HONDA WAS AWARE OF THESE FAILURES (HAD A RECALL BEFORE I WAS AN OWNER) AND THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE CAR WAS LIKELY ALSO AWARE, I FIND THESE PRACTICES TOTALLY DISHONEST AND BORDERING ON ILLEGAL. I PAID ALMOST $10,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF LOW MILEAGE, ONLY TO HAVE A MAJOR FAILURE 8 MONTHS LATER. *TR

THIS WIRE COST IS $5-$6 BUT IT TAKES ABOUT $600 TO $700 TO REPLACE IN LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH ENGINE MALFUNCTION HAPPENING WITH P0325 CODE WHICH INDICATES KNOCK SENSOR MALFUNCTION. THE SENSOR FAILING SUDDENLY WITH OUT WARNING IS CAUSING UNTOLD HARD SHIPS TO ALL THE HONDA OWNERS AND ITS NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE AND OVER HEATING. SO I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE AND REQUEST HONDA TO ISSUE AN RECALL OF THIS SMALL 3INCH WIRE AND AVOID HEADACHES TO THE COMMON PEOPLE. I ALSO SEE LOT OF PEOPLE WITH ACURA, HONDA ACCORD,ODY HAVE REPORTED WITH HONDA OF THIS PROBLEM FROM YEAR 2004 AND FIND BELOW IS A COPY OF THE LETTER FROM A BLOG.
