HONDA IS VERY WELL AWARE OF THEIR FAULT CLEAR COAT PAINT PROBLEMS. MY CAR'S ROOF BEGAN TO DECAY, AND THE CLEAR COAT IN NO LONGER VISIBLE. I WAS LEFT WITH ONLY THE BASE COLOR OF MY PAINT, AND NOW ITS BEGINNING TO RUST AND HOLES ARE STARTING TO APPEAR AND WATER IS LEAKING EVERYWHERE INSIDE MY VEHICLE.

CIVICS, ACCORDS, CRV YOU NAME IT. YOU HAVE A FAULTY PAINT PROBLEM HONDA AND YOU'RE PUTTING EVERYONE'S LIFE AT RISK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. I KEEP UP WITH ALL OF THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE FOR THIS CAR. I GOT THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND NOW LESS THEN 3 MONTHS LATER THE CAR IS STARTING TO JERK AGAIN AND THE DRIVE LIGHT ON THE DASH IS STARTING TO BLINK. I ALSO HAVE THIS ERROR CODE THAT WON'T GO AWAY SAYING THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL TANK.

THIS IS MY SECOND REPORT OF A TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD. MY TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND IN GETTING OVER I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND IN A HIT AND RUN. I HAD TO HAVE IT REBUILT WHEN IT FAILED BACK IN 2010, AND NOW IT IS FAILING AGAIN. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT (10342732) TO THE NHTSA BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2010. MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT FALL IN THE RANGE OF CUSTOMERS WITH THIS ISSUE; HOWEVER, LIKE MANY THAT PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE DURING THIS TIME...THE TRANSMISSION IS PRONE TO FAILURE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 74 TRANSMISSION SLIPPED CAUSING CAR TO LOSE SPEED. TRANSMISSION THEN BEGAN SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. PENDING COST TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. *TR

TODAY 10-03-13 MY WIFE'S VEHICLE (2004 HONDA ACCORD EX V-6 NAVI) TRANSMISSION FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME. DURING THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WE NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING FROM TIME TO TIME. THIS MORNING WE WERE GOING TO PERFORM A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. AS THE TRANSMISSION WENT FROM 2ND TO 3RD THE VEHICLE REVVED AS FAILED TO TRANSMIT POWER CAUSING A NEAR COLLISION. UPON PULLING OVER IN AN UNSAFE AREA AND PLACING THE CAR IN PARK THE VEHICLE'S SHIFTER COULD NOT BE PLACED IN GEAR. AFTER APPROX. 5 MINUTES THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE PLACED IN GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP. WHEN I ADVISED THE TRANSMISSION TECH OF THE PROBLEM, HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE TRANSMISSION TECH SHOWED US HIS WORK BAY WHERE THERE WERE 3 HONDA'S AND 1 ACURA ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE TRANS TECH SAID THAT THE 2003-2006 TRANSMISSIONS ON THE HONDA VEHICLE'S INCLUDING THE PILOT BRAND IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURES. THIS WAS THE FIRST HE'S HEARD WERE THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED. TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN MAY 2008/77,000 MILES TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCTOBER 2013/150,000MILES UPON DOING RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE I DISCOVERED THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE'S WITH THIS ISSUE AND HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA JUST BEFORE THIS LETTER AND ADVISED THEM OF THIS ISSUE WHO STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY COMPLAINTS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. NHTSA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING AS THIS

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND DOWN SHIFTING OVERNIGHT. CAUSES ENGINE TO STALL.

I HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AND DIDN'T MAKE ANY SHIFTING, IT WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR STOPED MANY TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING, SO I DECIDE TO FIX IT , AND YESTERDAY 9/16/2013 IT HAPPENED AGAIN, SAME PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION

I PURCHASED MY USED 04 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 FROM MIDLANDS HONDA IN OCTOBER 2007 WITH APPROX. 35,000 MILES ON IT. NEVER HAD ANY REAL MECHANICAL ISSUES AND ALWAYS GOT IT SERVICED BY THE DEALER. LOW AND BEHOLD I RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION THAT GAVE ME NO WARNING. I APPEARED TO BE SLIPPING OR SOMETHING, SO I HAD IT SERVICED AND TO NO SURPRISE, IT IS NOT FIXED. THE SHOP HAS ADVISED THAT WITH ONLY 118,000 MILES THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. I RESEARCHED A PAST RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AFTER THIS HAPPENED AND FOUND THAT OTHER CONSUMERS HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR ACCORDS AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THAT HONDA HAS MISLED THEIR CONSUMERS AND THAT THEIR PRODUCTS ARE NOT LIVING UP TO THEIR MARKETING AND SUGGESTED QUALITY. I USED TO OWN 5 DIFFERENT NISSAN VEHICLES, BUT THE LAST PURCHASE WAS REPURCHASED BY THE DEALER AS A LEMON BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE WITH NUMEROUS ISSUES FROM SUDDEN STALLING TO ELECTRONIC ISSUES, BUT NO RECALLS B/C IT WAS TOO NEW. I LEFT NISSAN AND WELCOMED HONDA INTO MY FAMILY AT THAT TIME, BUT I FEEL THAT MY KIDS AND ARE NOT SAFE. I HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD HAVE LASTED AS LONG AS MY ENGINE, WHICH RECEIVED HER NEW TIMING BELT AT 100,000 MILES. I MAY BE SUBMITTING MY ISSUE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RESOLUTION, SINCE HONDA DID AND IS NOT REALLY TAKING RESPONSIBILITY IN THEIR MALFUNCTION. I JUST WANT OTHER HONDA OWNERS TO KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION STILL EXISTS AND PROBABLY WILL FOR YEARS TO COME. I GUES

FIRST, I CALLED APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO AND FILED A COMPLAINT OVER THE TELEPHONE. THE MAN I TALKED TO SAID HE WOULD FOLLOW UP WITH AN EMAIL TO ME, WHICH HE NEVER DID. HE ALSO SAID I WOULD RECEIVE SOMETHING BY MAIL, WHICH I NEVER DID. MY NAME IS [XXX] I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT COMPLAINT? IN SHORT: MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 94K. HONDA SAID MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WHO DID HONDA MAKE A DEAL WITH? I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE TRANS REBUILT. NOW GOING HIGH SPEEDS FOR LONG DISTANCES THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS UP, THE D LIGHT BLINKS, THE TRIANGLE COMES ON, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ONCE THE CAR COOLS DOWN MOST LIGHTS GO OFF AND AFTER 3 CYCLES, THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. AUTO ZONE CAME UP WITH SOME P CODE THAT IT WAS A SENSOR. THE TRANS GUY REPLACED IT., I AM STILL GETTING DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND THIS TIME I LOST THE SPEEDOMETER. SOMEONE SAID THE TRANS IS OVERHEATING. BUT THEN WHY THE P CODE THAT IT IS A SENSOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM? IF HONDA IS HAVING SUCH A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS WHY ISN'T THE HIGHWAY SAFETY COMMISSION GETTING INVOLVED? WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE WRITE TO THEM AND MAKE A COMPLAINT? WHY AREN'T YOU GETTING INVOLVED WITH THIS ISSUE? HONDA PUT A BAD PRODUCT IN THEIR CARS AND THE CONSUMERS ARE SUFFERING. IN 1970S CHEVY PUT A SMALL TRANS IN A MID SIZE CAR WITH PLASTIC PARTS. AFTER 3 TRANSMISSIONS AND A TRIP TO COURT THE JUDGE ORDERED THEY PUT A BIGGER TRANS IN MY CAR. IS THIS THE SAME THING? THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH HONDA AND THEI

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 ACCORD HOME THROUGH THE CITY (SPEEDS OF 30 MPH OR LESS). I HAD GONE ABOUT 5 MILES WITHOUT A PROBLEM. SUDDENLY, I HEARD AN ANNOYING CAR REVVING IT'S ENGINE, ONLY TO REALIZE IT WAS MY CAR! IT FELT AS IF IT WERE SLIPPING AND THEN IT WAS DRIVING AS IF IT WAS STUCK IN FIRST. I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO ABOVE 20 MPH. I COULD NOT PULL OVER DUE TO BIKE LANES AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY GOING 15 MPH -- IT WOULD NOT GO HIGHER. I PULLED ONTO A SIDE STREET, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND COULD NOT GET IT TO MOVE. THEN, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS POPPED UP. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THE LAST MILE OF MY TRIP, STILL IN THE 15-20 MPH. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INDICATED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $5450. I HAD NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION PRIOR TO 8/29/13 AND I HAD KEPT UP ON ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE. IN FACT, I'D ALWAYS TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT A RECALL FOR THIS PART (ALTHOUGH I DID RECEIVE ONE FOR THE POWER STEERING HOSE). AFTER 8/29/13, I READ THAT SEVERAL HONDA MODELS (INCLUDING THIS ONE) WERE RECALLED FOR TRANSMISSION DEFECTS. THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA ARE CURRENTLY ALLEGING THAT MINE WAS NOT PART OF IT, BUT IT APPEARS THAT IT WAS.*JB

WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK AND INTO GEAR THE SILVER GEAR SHIFT KNOB BROKE OFF. I SUPER GLUED IT BACK TOGETHER IN ORDER TO SHIFT GEARS TO GO TO STORE TO GET NEW PART. IT LATER FELL OFF AGAIN AND MULTIPLE PIECES CAME OUT OF THE OPENING. THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB BROKE INTO ABOUT 7 TO 10 PIECES. HAD TO STICK MY FINGER INTO OPENING IN ORDER TO PUSH THE SHIFT MECHANISM DOWN TO GET IT OUT OF PARK. SPOKE TO LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPORTED THEY KEEP THOSE PARTS IN STOCK FROM ABOUT 03 TO 05 BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON ALOT OF THOSE ARE BREAKING. HE WAS ABLE TO TELL ME THAT WITHOUT LOOKING UP THE PART NUMBER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THAT MY RPM INCREASED ALL OF THE SUDDEN. AFTER MY RPM INCREASED MY VEHICLE STARTED JERKING AND WAS NOT RESPONDING. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL. I MANAGED TO GET HOME DRIVING 10 MPH. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUES WITH THESE CARS! HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS! *TR

WE EXPERIENCED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON I-77 IN WEST VIRGINIA. THE TRANSMISSION ALL OF A SUDDEN BEGAN SPEWING TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND STARTED TO SLIP WHIL DRIVING UP A HILL. WE HAD TO FRANTICALLY GET OUT OF THE WAY OF A TRACTOR-TRAILER, BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND THE CAR HAD NO POWER. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. NOW IT'S COMING ON AND STAYING ON EVERY TIME I DRIVE. IT COMES ON WITH ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS DURING THE START/SELF-TEST, THEN GOES OUT, COMES BACK ON AND STAYS ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE UPON ENGAGING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND A TRANSMISSION CENTER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE BOTH TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN 2004, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN A PARKING GARAGE. WHEN I WAS ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY INTO THE PARKING SPACE, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. APPARENTLY MY FOOT SLIPPED OR I HAD PUT IT ON THE GAS PEDAL INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. MY CAR SURGED INTO THE CONCRETE WALL ABOUT 5 FEET IN FRONT OF ME AS I PUSHED HARDER ON THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS PUSHING THE BRAKE. NONE OF MY 8 AIRBAGS WENT OFF AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT MY SEAT BELT TIGHTENED ITS TENSION AT IMPACT. I SUFFERED A SHATTERED PATELLA, 3 BROKEN TOES, A BRUISED STERNUM AND A BLACK EYE. IF THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELTS HAD WORKED PROPERLY I BELIEVE MY INJURIES WOULD BE LESS SEVERE AS THEY WOULD HAVE KEPT ME FROM FLYING FORWARD AT IMPACT. THE IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO CRACK THE TRANSMISSION CASE, BREAK ONE ENGINE MOUNT, BREAK THE AIR CONDITIONER, DESTROY THE BUMPER AND HOOD AND CAUSE REPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO THE QUARTER PANELS. YOUR CRASH TEST REPORTS AND HONDA'S SAFETY INFORMATION DO NOT SEEM TRUE TO ME DUE TO MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THIS.I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HONDA APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO...FOR POWER STEERING HOSE TO BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO IT OVER HEATING AND DETERIORATING CAUSING A LEAK OF POWER STEERING FLUID. ONCE I GOT THE NOTICE I WENT TO HAVE IT REPLACED BUT I BELIEVE BY THE TIME I GOT THE NOTICE IT MAY HAVE BEEN TO LATE BECAUSE NOW IT HAS CAUSED IT TO NOW LEAK POWER STEERING COULD INTO THE RACK AND PINION. I HAVE DONE OIL CHANGES AND DONE A COMPLETE TUNE UP TO DATE BUT THIS IS CAUSING THE POWER STEERING FLUID TO WASTE AND IS DETERIORATING THE RACK AND PINION. NOT HAVING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF POWER STEERING MAKES IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR EASILY. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY DRIVE WORRIED THAT THE CAR MAY LOSE CONTROL AND I HAVE TWO CHILDREN I AM DRIVING WITH EVEREST I CANNOT AFFORD FOR ME TO LOSE CONTROL OVER SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DETECTED AND GIVES WHEN I WENT TO HONDA TO CHANGE THE HOSE. IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A PROBLEM WITH JUST THE HOSE IT IS A PROBLEM MUCH MORE PROFOUND THEN THAT WHICH NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND IF THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS FLAMMABLE AND CAN CAUSE TOXIC FUMES. THIS IN MY OPINION IS NOT TO BE PLAYED AROUND WITH AND IS DANGEROUS. IT HAS ALSO CAUSE MY BRAND NEW TIRES GO BALD. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD. I WORK VERY LONG DAYS AND HAVE VERY LITTLE TIME TO GET THIS RECALL COMPLETED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE CLOSEST AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER IS 70 MILES AWAY. THIS MAKES GETTING THE WORK DONE VERY DIFFICULT. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HONDA ALLOWS OTHERS TO FIX THESE ISSUES. NOW, I MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED AND WHO KNOWS WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO ME OR MY CAR IF THAT IS THE CASE... *TR

MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 HAS TRACTION CONTROL. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TC LIGHT CAME ON AND PUSHING THE SWITCH IT WILL NOT GO OUT. WHEN YOU START UP THE CAR THE ORANGE TRIANGLE STAYS LIT AND THEN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE TC COMES ON AND STAYS ON. BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE HONDA CODE. I CALLED A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY "RELEASE" THE CODE INFORMATION AND I HAVE TO BRING IT INTO A HONDA DEALER AT $186 FOR THE FIRST HOUR JUST TO RUN A TEST!!! THE CAR DOES NOT EVEN MOVE IN THE SNOW HERE IN THE NORTHEAST WITHOUT THE TC. I HEARD THAT THE HONDA ACCORD WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. *TR

SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER ULTIMATELY RESULTING IN DIAGNOSIS OF TRANSMISSION/TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. FORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T JUST CUT OUT AT A DANGEROUS TIME. REPLACEMENT COST IS NEARLY THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
