2005 Honda Accord complaints

DRIVE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT THE SPEED OF 60 MPH. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE AND I INFORMED THEM OF THE FLASHING DRIVE LIGHT. LATER ADVISED ME AFTER THE INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE IS DONE THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THAT WILL COST ME $5,000 (ON SALE FOR $4100) PLUS THE INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE OF $313.00. THE CAR HAS 137 K MILES. IS THIS VEHICLE PART OF ANY TRANSMISSION RECALL AT THIS MILEAGE OR IS IT PART OF THE ENGINE' S WEAR AND TEAR? PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.

I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA FOR AIRBAG INFLATOR PROBLEM IN APRIL 2015. I PROMPTLY CALLED A DEALER TO SET UP SERVICE FOR THE RECALL, BUT THEY SAID THEY HAD TO GET THE PARTS IN. I CALLED AGAIN AFTER TWO WEEKS AND STILL NO PARTS. I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALER TO DO THE SERVICE. IT HAS NOW BEEN THREE MONTHS. WHY WOULD HONDA SEND OUT THE RECALL AND NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE DEALERS TO REPLACE?

I BOUGHT MY CAR JUNE 26, 2015 USED I HAD NO PROBLEMS NO SIGNS ANY THING WRONG.. ACTUALLY RAN SMOOTHLY. ON JULY 4, 2015 MID AFTERNOON I DROVE TO THE STORE WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF IT STALL OUT MAKING THE SOUND ON RUNNING OUT GAS I HAD A FULL TANK I DROVE BACK HOME AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY SUNDAY JULY 5,2015 MID EVENING MY CAR START NO PROBLEMS UNTO I TURN OFF THE CAR 15 MILES AT A STORE WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR KEPT STALLING OUT IT WOULD STAY ON AS LONG AS I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS AS SOON AT I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAKS IT DIED OUT

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AND CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS, CAR WAS JUMPING FORWARD AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS TRAFFIC SPED UP. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY, BUT GOT STUCK AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FORWARD, CAR WENT BACKWARDS.

STARTED HAVING TROUBLE GETTING KEY IN LOCK APPROX. 3/1/15. PROGRESSED TO NOT BEING ABLE TO GET KEY IN DOOR AT ALL AROUND 5/1/15. SERVICED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 5/7/15 WITH LOCK CYLINDER AND ARRANGED TUMBLERS FOR ORIGINAL KEY. WORKED OKAY UNTIL 6/20/15. AT THIS TIME I INSERTED MY KEY, BUT KEY WOULD NOT TURN TO UNLOCK MY DOOR. ENTERED THE PASSENGER DOOR AND TRIED TO UNLOCK DOOR MANUALLY BY PULLING UP DOOR LOCK - WOULD NOT BUDGE. AFTER I CRAWLED ACROSS THE CENTER CONSOLE I GIGGLED DOOR A FEW TIMES AND WAS ABLE TO PULL UP DOOR LOCK. DROVE HOME AND TRIED OPENING DOOR WITH KEY AND IT WORKED FINE. TODAY, 6/22/15 WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM THE STORE I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND LOCKED THE DOOR. WHEN I REALIZED THAT I HAD LOCKED IT I TRIED TO UNLOCK IT WITH THE KEY. AGAIN, THE KEY WOULD GO IN, BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. CALLED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ACTUATOR. I KNOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AFTER GOING ON LINE THAT THIS IS A LONG STANDING PROBLEM THAT HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF, BUT OBVIOUSLY WAS UNWILLING TO RECALL AND FIX. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILLED, HOWEVER I WAS UNAWARE OF IT AND MY 2005 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SUIT. SINCE THIS IS STILL AN ONGOING PROBLEM IT IS LONG PAST TIME FOR HONDA TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THESE ACTUATORS AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS VEHICLE CAUSES AN ACCIDENT DUE TO INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION DEFECT. I WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP TO PARK THE CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND SPED INTO A BUILDING. FIRST IT HIT AN IRON BENCH PUSHING IT INTO THE WALL. THE CAR MISSED HITTING A YOUNG MOTHER AND HER FOUR LITTLE KIDS BY MERE SECONDS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SENT ONE OF THEIR OWN ADJUSTERS TO INSPECT THE DAMAGES, AND DETERMINED THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED. IN THE MEANTIME THE PEOPLE AT THE BODY SHOP WHERE THE CAR WAS TOWED TO KEPT TELLING ME THAT THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO BE PUT ON THE ROAD AGAIN. I PLEADED WITH MY INSURER TO HAVE IT TOTALED AS I WAS TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AFTER TWO ACCIDENTS, AND MY CONSCIENCE DID NOT ALLOW ME TO SELL THE CAR AFTER THE REPAIRS PUTTING SOMEBODY ELSE IN SAME KIND OF DANGER. I ALSO CALLED HONDA, BUT THEIR REPLY WAS THAT HONDA WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HONDA FOLKS WERE EVEN ANNOYED THAT I CALLED THEM SAYING THAT MY INSURER WAS THE ONE TO CONTACT THEM THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS. FINALLY MY INSURANCE AGREED TO TOTAL THE CAR. HOWEVER, I SAW THAT THE CAR WAS SOLD TO AN AUCTION DEALER LISTING IT AS "SALVAGE TITLE/REBUILDABLE." THE CAR IS FOR SALE AGAIN STATING THAT IT WILL COST $4,872.00 TO FIX IT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY INCREASED MY PREMIUMS CONSIDERABLY CONSIDERING ME THE PARTY AT FAULT. I ASK NHTSA TO ACT QUICKLY TO STOP THIS UNSAFE AND UNFAIR PRACTICE.....UPDATED 08/20/15 *BF UPDATED 9/30/2015*JS

AS I WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, PARKING, THE CAR SPED UP INVOLUNTARILY. I KEPT PRESSING ON THE BRAKES, BUT IT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE UNTIL THE CAR WAS STOPPED BY HITTING A BUILDING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER INSPECTED THE BRAKES WHILE THE CAR WAS AT THE BODY SHOP, AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED, AND I CONTINUED DRIVING IT. THE INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN, BUT I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT BECAUSE I WAS NOT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND IT ADJUSTED ITS SPEED AGAIN. UNTIL...I HAD ANOTHER ACCIDENT EIGHT YEARS LATER DUE TO NONE OTHER THAN INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION. SEE A SEPARATE COMPLAINT.

MAY 4, 2015, 2005 HONDA ACCORD V6 STALLED AND ALL SYSTEMS NON-FUNCTIONAL WHILE DRIVING. ACCORD REAR-ENDED A CAR AT REST AT A STOP SIGN. IN NOVEMBER 2011, THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT ON FREEWAY. VEHICLE STAYED ON AND I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY COAST OFF THE FREEWAY, BUT DRIVE TRAIN WAS OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (105K MILES). THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OTHER NHTSA REPORTS. IN APRIL, 2011 THE ACCORD BEGAN STALLING AND ALL SYSTEMS FAILED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND MOVING. IN MAY, 2012 THE DCH HONDA OF TEMECULA FOUND FAULTY THROTTLE SENSOR AND REPLACED THE PART. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL THIS FAILURE AND ACCIDENT. I SEE SEVERAL REPORTS OF ACCORDS STALLING ON THIS SITE. IS THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM? MY DAUGHTER WAS FORTUNATE THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN APPROACHING ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR THE FREEWAY. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ENTERED CALDECOTT TUNNEL IN BERKELEY, CA. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO AND THE RPMS SHOT UP TO 6500. I HAD NOWHERE TO GO AS I WAS IN A 2 LANE TUNNEL. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND SLOWED TO A STOP. THIS FREEWAY HAS A VERY HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC AND I WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET CREAMED BY SOMEONE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT THAT CAME ON. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. I WAS "PULLED" OUT OF THE TUNNEL BY A VERY NICE MAN WHO STOPPED TO HELP ME. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO TELLS ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DONE. THIS IS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD V6 AND AFTER RESEARCHING, I SEE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. I PLAN ON CALLING HONDA TO SEE WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO.

DRIVING SOUTH ON I 81 AT APPROXIMATELY MM 167.3. HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE, THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE HAD A BLOW OUT. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL SO I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE AND I PULLED OFF ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. NO FLAT, NOTHING BURNING, NO DAMAGE TO CAR. GOT BACK IN MY CAR AND REALIZED PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS FROM FRONT TO BACK HAD DEPLOYED, THAT IS WHAT I WAS SMELLING BUT AT THE TIME I DID NOT REALIZE MY AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. I WAS ALONE BUT THERE IS A CHILD CAR SEAT IN MY BACKSEAT AND IF ONE OF MY GRANDCHILDREN HAD BEEN IN THE CAR SEAT OR A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY INJURED. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE PROVIDED ME A LOANER VEHICLE AT NO COST TO ME. THEY DID CALL THIS MORNING TO VERIFY THAT I HAD NOT RAN OVER ANYTHING OR HIT ANYTHING. THERE IS NOT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY WOULD GIVE ME A CALL ONCE THEY FIGURED THIS ALL OUT. I AM NOW WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE. *TR

HONDA REPLACED THE TAKATA DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG ON MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD IN JANUARY 2015 UNDER THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. HOWEVER, HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE THE TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY CAR. I DO NOT LIVE IN A HIGH HUMIDITY STATE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DECISION BY HONDA NOT TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AS THERE ARE NEWS REPORTS OF INJURY TO A PASSENGER FROM A TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IN 2013. NHTSA NEEDS TO ORDER HONDA TO REPLACE THE TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ON AFFECTED HONDA CARS BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS INJURED. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BACK RIGHT WINDOW NOT WORKING. WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF OWNING THIS CAR, THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW AND BOTH OF THE BACK WINDOWS JUST STOPPED WORKING AT ALL. I HAVE TRIED USING THE FRONT MAIN SWITCH AS WELL AS THE INDIVIDUAL SWITCHES TO UNROLL THEM AND ALL THAT HAPPENS IS A CLICK EVERY TIME I TRY TO UNROLL EACH ONE. MY PASSENGER WINDOW IS STUCK HALF WAY DOWN WITH NO WAY TO ROLL IT UP. THE ONLY WINDOW THAT WORKS IS THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDOW NOW. I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK IS UNLOCKED EACH TIME I TRY TO UNROLL EACH OF THEM. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS KIND OF DEFAULT? *TR

DROVE THE CAR TO WORK SLOWED DOWN BEHIND ANOTHER CAR TO LET THEM TURN AND THE CAR STALLED LIKE AS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL, I PULLED OVER BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE ABOUT 10 MORE MINUTES TO WORK.

I HAVE A HONDA ACCORD 2005 AND HAVE NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO LIGHT UP SHOWING THERE IS SOME DEFECT. I COULD NEVER FIND A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND THE LIGHT HAVE COME ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE WE ARE MILITARY AND NOW WITH THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE I HAVE FOUND OUT TALKING WITH THE CORPORATE HONDA DEALER THEY ARE ONLY GETTING THE VEHICLE LOCATION FROM LOCAL DMV OFFICES. THE PROBLEM IS MILITARY REGISTER THEIR CARS IN THEIR HOME STATE, BUT LIVE IN OTHER STATES. SO MY CAR IS IN CA AND HAS ALSO BEEN IN FL AND VA. BECAUSE OF THIS OVERSIGHT, IT APPEARS I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. I CALLED HONDA TO CONFIRM IF THE FAULTY PART IS IN MY VEHICLE, AND HONDA REFUSES TO TELL ME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD "I AM NOT PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE I AM NOT ON THE LIST". BUT IF I HAVE THE PART, AND SINCE MY CAR HAS BEEN IN A RECALL STATE, I SHOULD BE INCLUDED. IT IS A TOTAL LACK OF COORDINATION AND RECORD KEEPING. THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN AND REFUSE TO ASSIST. I HAVE WARNED THEM I AM PREGNANT WITH TWINS AND NEED TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, BUT THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN. THIS AMOUNTS TO NEGLIGENCE AND I AM NOW WORRIED HONDA DOES NOT CARE ONE BIT FOR MY SAFETY OR THE SAFETY OF MY UNBORN TWINS. *TR

AFTER RETURNING MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD AT THE REQUEST OF SP HONDA, TULSA,OK., AMERICAN HONDA REP E.P. CONTRADICTED WHAT MECHANIC PREVIOUSLY HAD SAID. THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. THE CONTINUAL LIES NEED TO STOP. HONDA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR RECALLS & FAULTY EQUIPMENT. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE GM STATED " WHY SHOULD WE HELP REPAIR YOUR CAR WHEN YOU DIDN'T PURCHASE IT FROM US?" WHO DOES BUSINESS LIKE THIS? AMERICAN HONDA IS BEING INVESTIGATED AND SP OF TULSA SHOULD BE AS WELL! *TR

AIR BAG RECALL. *TR

MY 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 65. FOR NO REASON AT ALL, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS EXPLODED CAUSING A QUICK REACTION UNDER EXTREME FEAR. HONDA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BUT THE LOCAL DEALER "SOUTHPOINT HONDA" HAS BEEN RUDE & ACCUSATORY THAT HONDA IS NOT AT FAULT. THE HONDA RECALL FOR AIRBAGS IS EXPANDING, YET NO HELP. HIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IS PARKED. FOR A SINGLE FATHER THIS IS CAUSING GREAT HARDSHIP, NOT TO MENTION THE INJURY THAT MIGHT OF OCCURRED TO MY ONLY CHILD! THE EXCUSES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!! *TR

I THINK THE POINT OF FILED COMPLAINTS SHOULD NOT ONLY BE REFLECTIVE BUT PROACTIVE. THAT WAY, HOPEFULLY, BOTH THE FEDS AND THE MANUFACTURERS CAN GET AHEAD OF ISSUES BEFORE THEY COME TRAGIC AND/OR COSTLIER. THAT BEING SAID, I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2005 HONDA ACCORD WHICH IS ON THE RECALL LIST REGARDING THE TAKATA AIR BAG FLAW. THERE IS NO RECALL THOUGH, SIMPLY BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT REGISTERED IN ONE OF THE 'HUMID STATES' THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I SUSPECT IT IS A CALCULATED PLOY TO ALLOW TAKATA TO TRIAGE THE MOST PRESSING RECALLS FIRST AND THEN OPEN THE RECALL. THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT IF THIS IS THE CASE, IT SHOULD BE COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC INSTEAD OF MAKING US FEEL A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY WITH A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. WHEN WILL ALL 2005 HONDA ACCORDS RECEIVE THE BLESSING TO BE RECALLED??? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
