2005 Honda Accord complaints

AFTER INVESTING $900 IN NON-WEAR BRAKE COMPONENT REPLACEMENT SINCE 2007 (CALIPERS, ROTORS), THE CAR BEGAN TO REQUIRE EVER-INCREASING PEDAL EFFORT TO SLOW & STOP. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE FLUID PER MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, RESTORING PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE. 07NOVEMBER2011, PEDAL EFFORT PROBLEM RETURNED, WORSE THAN EVER. $390 TO REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER AND PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. 12DEC2011 (84,000MILES), $590 WAS "MY HALF" (HONDA SPLIT COST WITH ME) TO REPLACE ABS MODULATOR- A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THIS IS AN OTHERWISE WONDERFUL CAR BUT HAS ENOUGH SIBLINGS ON THE ROAD TO PRESENT A CREDIBLE THREAT TO PUBLIC SAFETY. ADDITIONALLY, THE @$1900 I'VE SPENT SO FAR ON BRAKE SYSTEM HARDWARE DOES NOT INCLUDE REGULAR WEAR ITEMS (PADS, FLUID, MISC) WHICH ARE NORMAL REPLACEMENT COST ITEMS. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD RECALL THIS MODEL, INSPECT/REPLACE BRAKE COMPONENTS TO ENSURE PUBLIC SAFETY, AND REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY DONE THE RIGHT THING IN REPLACING DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE EVER BEEN ON THE ROAD IN THE FIRST PLACE. *JS

RADIO MAKES POPPING SOUND AND SHUTS OFF WHEN AC IS ON AND VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN UNTIL IT IS TURNED BACK ON PROBLEM IS INCREASING WITH USE. RADIO HAS HAD TURNED OFF AN ON MULTIPLE TIMES AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY DURING THE WEEK. RADIO IS EXTREMELY HOT ON FRONT FACE PLATE. *JS

HONDA ACCORD 2005 V6 UNDER 25,000 MILES SUDDENLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHICH FINALLY FAILED ON MAY 2011 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. A COMPLETE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL AND TORQUE CONVERTER CHANGE WERE PERFORMED AT A HONDA DEALER AT A COST OF OVER $2600. NEW TRANSMISSION FELT GREAT DURING THE FIRST 3 MONTHS (EVEN THOUGH IT TORQUE CONVERTER STARTED LEAKING OIL AND I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR) BUT RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICE ABRUPT DELAYS (SLOW DOWN) WHILE SHIFTING GEARS, LIKE ITS IS PULLING YOU BACK AND STRANGE KICKS WHILE SHIFTING. CAR ACCELERATES SLOWER AS WELL AND DOES NOT REACT AS QUICKLY OR SMOOTHLY AS NEW. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

2005 ACCORD 2.4 LITER A/C STOPPED WORKING. WAS TOLD CONDENSER HAD A HOLE CAUSED BY A ROCK. RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT NUMEROUS OWNERS OF HONDA PRODUCTS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO REDESIGN THE LAY OUT AND LOCATION OF THE A/C CONDENSER OR PROVIDE SOME SORT OF WARRANTY AND PROTECTION IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE REQUIRED PARTS. WITH THE CURRENT DESIGN IT IS A MONEY MAKER FOR HONDA. NOW IT IS GOING TO COST ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIRS THAT HONDA SHOULD BE PAYING FOR DUE TO THEIR POOR DESIGN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON STARTING, THE LIGHTS ALONG THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONER FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT, WAS RECALLED PREVIOUSLY FOR THE 2005 HONDA ACCORD,BUT NOT FOR THE ID NUMBER FOR MY VEHICLE,WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF OFTEN, WAS RECALLED FOR PROBLEM WITH HARNESS WIRING SHORT, WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE, DID NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIR. UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL. *TR

MY WIFE AND I AND 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON IH35 ON THE LEFT LANE AT 70MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILED. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SAID SHE WAS LOOSING POWER AND HAD PRESENCE OF MIND TO PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE. ALL THE CARS WERE GOING REALLY FAST. THANK GOD WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND DID NOT GET HIT FROM BEHIND. AFTER STOPPING THE CAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE TO DRIVE AND REVVED UP ONLY SO HAD IT TOWED TO A HONDA FACILITY. THERE WE WERE TOLD IT WAS TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THEY CHARGED ME 4500 DOLLARS.I DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE AS WE WERE TRAVELLING AND 250 MILES AWAY FROM HOME AND DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE AS THE OTHER PLACES WE CALLED SAID THEY COULD NOT EVEN TAKE A LOOK FOR A FEW DAYS TILL MONDAY AS IT WAS A FRIDAY AFTERNOON. I DID DO MY RESEARCH AND CALLED A FEW TRANSMISSION PLACES AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A 2500 DOLLAR JOB. DOUBLE INSULT TRANSMISSION FAILS AT 95K AND CHARGED 2000 MORE. LAST TIME I BUY A HONDA. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP GEARS WITH HESITATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 11V395000 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE; TCM, PCM); HOWEVER THE REMEDY WAS INSUFFICIENT AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN FURTHER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

2005 HONDA ACCORD FIRE DANGER. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HEAT SHIELDS FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS WARRANTED 8 YEARS OR 80,000 MILES. MY HONDA ONLY HAD ABOUT 45,000 WHEN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HEAT SHIELDS FAILED. I TOOK THE AUTO TO A HONDA DEALER. THE DEALER CONTACTED THE HONDA COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND SHE REFUSED TO PAY ANY PART OF THE REPAIR. WE ALSO CALLED THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM HONDA. THIS PERSON REFUSED TO LET ME SPEAK TO HER SUPERVISOR. THE REASON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS HEAT SHIELDS ARE TO PREVENT FIRES FROM HEAT GIVEN OFF BY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE AUTO IS UNSAFE WITHOUT THE HEAT SHIELDS WHICH SURROUND, AND ARE PART OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER A MAJOR EMISSION CONTROL DEVISES. *TR

I HAVE AN 05 HONDA ACCORD COUPE. NEITHER WINDOW WILL ROLL DOWN, HAD THE RELAY SWITCH REPLACED BUT 6 MONTHS LATER BACK TO THE SAME PROBLEM. RADIO WOULD GO ON AND OFF, EVEN WHEN CAR WAS OFF. NOW THE RADIO WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL UNLESS I UNPLUG/PLUG THE BATTERY, THEN THE RESULT IS ONLY TEMPORARY. NOW THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON WILL NOT WORK. IF I PUSH IT DOWN THE GREEN INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON BUT THE BUTTON WILL NOT STAY ENGAGED. I'VE SEEN SO MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS I WAS SURE THERE WAS A RECALL I MISSED BUT THERE ISN'T??!! *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS LIT,I TOOK IT TO HONDA THEY RE-SET SOMETHING, 5 MINUTES LATER AS I WAS LEAVING IT LIT UP AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK THEY SAID THEY HAD TO DO DIAGNOSTICS, ORDERED A WIRING HARNESS,INSTALLED THAT. I DROVE TO FLORIDA AND BACK 1300 MILES ROUND TRIP AND THE LIGHT IS BACK ON MEANING MY BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING THIS ADDRESSED. HONDA (APPLE TREE IN FLETCHER , NC) HAD MY CAR FROM TUE-SAT AND I HAD TO RENT A CAR DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE. NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE BACK OVER THERE 1 1/2 HOUR DRIVE ONE WAY AND SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. I NOTICED THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT THAT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED. PLEASE ADVISE. I AM STILL DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR AND HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS GOING BACK AND FORTH AND PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR. *TR

MY 2005 ACCORD HAD AN ILLUMINATED SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) LIGHT. THE HONDA DEALER DIAGNOSED IT DOWN TO A BROKEN DRIVER SEAT SENSOR HARNESS; FAULT CODES 71-10 (DRIVERS SEAT POS SENSOR) AND A2-10 (FAULTY PWR SUPPLY). THIS CONDITION IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS DESCRIBED IN HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 07-002, "SAFETY RECALL: DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION SENSOR HARNESS REPLACEMENT." JUST AS DESCRIBED IN THE BULLETIN, THE WIRES ON THE HARNESS BECOME DAMAGED AND IN FACT WERE COMPLETELY BROKEN AWAY FROM THE PLUG END. HOWEVER, MY VIN FALLS OUTSIDE THE AFFECTED VIN'S LISTED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS ACTION. FURTHERMORE, I FEEL THE DEALER CHARGED MORE THAN NECESSARY FOR THE REPAIR: THEY CHARGED 1.96 HRS OF LABOR (AT $97.00/HR), OR $190.00, AND $15.20 FOR THE PART TOTALING $205.20. IN COMPARISON, THE SERVICE BULLETIN CALLS FOR 0.6 HRS OF LABOR, WHICH WHEN ADDED TO THE PART COST WOULD HAVE TOTALED $73.40. BOTTOM LINE: HONDA DID NOT PROVIDE THE PROPER FIX FOR DAMAGED DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION HARNESS'S IN LATER PRODUCTION VINS. SINCE THEY CONTINUE TO CAUSE THE SAME UNSAFE CONDITION, HONDA MUST BE COMPELLED TO INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS RECALL. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON EITHER WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR UPON STARTING THE IGNITION AND REMAINS ON. *TR

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

HELLO, I AM VERY UPSET/CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE AN 2005 HONDA ACCORD. I KNOW MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT YEARS OF AN ACCORD ALONG WITH ONE PERSON WITH AN 05. WE ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH OUR WINDOWS ROLLING UP AND DOWN. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ISSUE SINE 2010, AND BROKE DOWN AND PAID FOR THE REPAIR TODAY. THE MAIN SWITCH WENT OUT IN THE CAR. THE MAIN WINDOW WORKS BUT THE REST OF THE WINDOWS DON'T WORK. WHY IS THIS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL? SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD OF PAID FOR THE REPAIR TODAY, HOWEVER I HAD NO CHOICE. I THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING HONDA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO, ALSO THE FACTORY STEREOS. MY STEREO WENT OUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, I HAVE ONLY ONE PERSON THAT EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, BUT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. *TR

INITIALLY WHEN PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE GOING INTO A FORWARD GEAR ONCE STOPPED. THEN UPON ENTERING HIGHWAY THE ENGINE JUST REVVED AND CAR LOST SPEED ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR-ENDED AT HIGH SPEED BECAUSE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE. END RESULT WAS TORQUE CONVERTER WAS FAULTY AND CAUSED TRANSMISSION TO BURN FLUID AND GEARS TO SHRED. CAR WAS TOWED TO HAWLEY'S AUTO REPAIR ON SHAKER ROAD EAST LONGMEADOW, MA ON 12/20 WHERE IT WAS RENDERED FULLY UN-DRIVABLE AS TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED. HONDA WAS CONTACTED BUT STATED THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN FREQUENT FAILURE. *TR

CAR SHUTTERS BETWEEN 35MPH AND 40MPH AND HAS LOST TRANSMISSION FLUID. ITS PROBLEMS ARE EXACTLY LIKE THOSE IN A PRIOR CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST HONDA. THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM. A RECALL WAS RECEIVED FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE TRANSMISSION, I THINK THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO SEE HOW MANY THEY HAVE OUT THERE DOING WHAT THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUED FOR. AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE NOTHING CHANGED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AS WELL AS 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. WE TOOK IT INTO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REBUILT. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND HAS AROUND 80,000 MILES. THE GUY AT THE TRANSMISSION SHOP STATED THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA BUT THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT. HE STATED THE PLASTIC CAPS ON THE TORQUE CONVERTER WERE BREAKING AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN USED AT ALL. *TR

AT FIRST, WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO GEAR, THERE WOULD BE A DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY ACCEPTED THAT GEAR--ANYWHERE FROM 6-10 SECONDS, ALONG WITH A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I WOULD GO FROM DRIVE TO PARK. I IMMEDUATELY CALLED MY DEALER AND TOOK IT OVER THERE AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAD BEEN HAPPENING. GIVEN THE MILEAGE OF MY CAR, THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE DEPT TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR A DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY (WITH ME), AND TRIED TO SEE IF THE GEARS WERE IN FACT SLIPPING AND I WOULD NEED TRANNY WORK. AFTER THE TEST DRIVE, IT WAS DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD DRAIN ALL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND REPLACE IT WITH NEW. THIS WORKED WELL FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, AND THEN WE HAD A BIG COLD SNAP HERE IN COLORADO. AFTER THAT, IT ALL WENT SOUTH. MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT INTO 2ND OR 3RD WITHOUT A LOT OF NOISE. CALLED THE DEALER, AND BY THE TIME WE GOT IT THERE, THE CAR WAS BARELY MOVING AT 40MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR THREE YEARS AGO, THE ODOMETER READ 42,000 MILES. TODAY IT READS 67,000. REALLY? I HAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 67,000?????? THANK GOODNESS I HAVE A HIGHLY COMPETENT SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO WENT TO BAT FOR ME AND CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY. I RECEIVED A "GOODWILL" REPAIR, BUT AM STILL FORKING OVER $1568 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. OBVIOUSLY, HONDA HAS NOT FIXED THEIR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE ANOTHER RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED SOONER, RATHER THAN LATER. *TR

CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. NO PROBLEMS. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED THE CAR AND CHECKED THE SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SEAT BELTS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT WAS ON. I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND CONTINUED HOME. WHEN SLOWING TO TURN INTO DRIVEWAY A LOUD BANGING NOISE OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS PUT IN PARK AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HAZARD IF A CAR HAD BEEN PASSING BY OR IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I COULD HAVE ROLLED BACK AND HURT SOMEONE, HURT MYSELF OR ROLLED BACK INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ALSO IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN WALKING BEHIND THE CAR AND GOTTEN RAN OVER AND KILLED. ANYWAY IT WAS LATER TOWED TO A DEALER AND DIAGNOSTICS RAN. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THAT IS NOT RIGHT. MY CAR WAS LIKE NEW WITH A LITTLE OVER 68 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. I STILL OWE ON IT AND PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND I HAVE BEGUN TO RESEARCH THIS I FOUND A TON OF RECALLS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, YET I AM TOLD MY CAR IS A 6 CYLINDER AND IS NOT UNDER RECALL. PLEASE HELP. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME 4400 PLUS $ TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COST. *TR

OVER 6 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT WHICH SHOWS WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN ON THE SHIFT COLUMN ON THE FLOORBOARD WASN'T STAYING LIT. SOMETIMES IT WOULD COME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND OTHER TIMES NOT. SOMETIMES IF I THUMPED ON THE SHIFTER ON PURPOSE, IT WOULD COME BACK ON. THEN SEVERAL WEEKS AGO MY RADIO STOPPED WORKING. AT FIRST THERE WAS NO SOUND BUT THEN A VERY LOUD WEIRD NOISE STARTED HAPPENING AND IT IS EXTREMELY LOUD. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE NOISE IS TO TURN THE RADIO OFF. THEN AT OTHER TIMES YOU TURN ON THE RADIO AND IT WORKS FINE. NOT LONG AFTER THAT I WAS DRIVING ONE NIGHT AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLICKED OFF AND ON AGAIN VERY QUICKLY. IT DID IT SEVERAL TIMES DURING MY 3 HOUR TRIP AND THEN STOPPED AND I HADN'T NOTICED IT AGAIN UNTIL TODAY. TODAY MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I KNOW SOMETIMES IF YOU DON'T CLICK YOUR FUEL CAP THREE TIMES AFTER REFUELING IT CAN CAUSE THE LIGHT TO COME ON BUT I HAVE NOT REFUELED IN SEVERAL WEEKS. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, WENT OFF AND THEN CAME ON AGAIN. SHORTLY AFTER THIS, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASHED ON AND OFF AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES VERY QUICKLY. THE BATTERY IS NOT THAT OLD AND THIS CAN HAPPEN WHETHER IT'S WET OR DRY CONDITIONS. THE USER MANUAL SAID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS EMISSION RELATED BUT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER THINGS HAPPENING THAT I WONDER IF THIS IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. IT IS SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS BECAUSE SUDDENLY ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DA
