2006 Honda Accord complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF HER VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD AND SPINE. BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE CONTACTED BUT NEITHER PROVIDED ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. UPDATED 10/29/13*LJ

MY HUSBAND WAS ON HIS WAY HOME WHEN HIS LEFT TURN LIGHT TURNED GREEN. A LADY RAN THE RED LIGHT AND T-BONED OUR CAR. THE CAR IS TOTALED. MY HUSBAND SUFFERED INJURIES, WAS KNOCKED OUT AND HAS CONCUSSION. NOT ONE OF THE AIR BAGS WENT OFF AND OUR CAR WAS LOADED WITH BAGS IN FRONT AND BACK SEATS. IT IS THE REASON WHY WE PURCHASED THE CAR. WE CALLED "HONDA AMERICA" AND ALL THEY DID WAS LISTEN AND TOLD US TO CONTACT OUR DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THE DEALER LAUGHED AND TOLD US THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE CAR. HONDA AMERICA TOLD US TO ALSO HAVE OUR INSURANCE COMPANY FIGURE OUT WHEN HAPPENED. WE TALKED TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY SAID THEY COULD WRAP THE HONDA AND SEND IT TO HONDA AMERICA, "BUT" HONDA AMERICA SAID THEY DON'T HAVE A PLACE FOR THE HONDA TO BE LOOKED AT. "HONDA AMERICA" NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!!! CALLED AN ACCIDENT ATTORNEY TO DEAL WITH HONDA AMERICA. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DOWNSHIFTING, THE GEARS SHIFTED VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 121,124.

I BOUGHT MY 2006 ACCORD V6 AUTO NOT QUITE 4 YEARS AGO AS A 2 YEAR OLD, OFF LEASE BEAUTIFUL, GENTLY USED MODEL WITH 38,000 MILES. AROUND 85,000 MILES I NOTED THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT ABRUPTLY/HARD. I HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUID SERVICE COMPLETED AND THIS SEEMED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE ABRUPT SHIFTS STARTED AGAIN AROUND 128,000 MILES. NOW AT 130,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED. AFTER A 65 MILE TRIP, THE CAR WOULD NOT GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THE ENGINE REVVED AND REVVED, BUT WOULD NOT SHIFT. AFTER A 5 MINUTE REST, THE CAR WOULD NOT EVEN GO INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED 45 MINUTES LATER, THE CAR DID MANAGE TO GO INTO REVERSE AND DRIVE TO GET THE CAR ALIGNED WITH THE FLAT BED. THE RESULT FROM AN INDEPENDENT HONDA SPECIALIST: $3932.74 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. A CALL TO STEVENSON HONDA, WHO DID NOT LOOK AT THE CAR, QUOTED $4200 FOR A "REMANUFACTURED" TRANSMISSION. NOT SURE HOW HONDA COULD CONTINUE TO BUILD THIS TRANSMISSION AND INSTALL IN THEIR TOP OF THE LINE MODEL AFTER KNOWING THERE WERE PROBLEMS AS EARLY AS 2003, IN THIS SPECIFIC MODEL. I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT MY PLAN OF ACTION IS AFTER CALLING HONDA 800-999-1009 TO COMPLAIN. I DON'T HAVE $4000 LAYING AROUND. *TR

MY SRS LIGHT INDICATING A MALFUNCTIONING OF THE FRONT AIRBAGS CAME UP JUST WHEN I CLOSED THE DASHBOARD CABIN. WHEN REPORTED THIS TO HONDA DEALER THEY SAY IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW IT CAME UP AS THIS LIGHT SHOULD ONLY TURN ON INCASE OF ACCIDENT. NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY $1100 - $1200 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SRS UNIT. PLEASE SUGGEST. *TR

ROAD DEBRIS ON A HIGHWAY SO SMALL WE DIDN'T HEAR A THING CAUSED A HOLE TO BE PUNCTURED IN MY AC CONDENSER. ACCORDING TO NUMEROUS SITES, THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW WITH VARIOUS YEAR MODEL ACCORDS, AS THE CONDENSER IS EXPOSED AND NOT PROTECTED BY ANYTHING. THE CONDENSER WAS JUST PUT IN BY HONDA IN 2011 AND THEY WON'T HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY ROAD DEBRIS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNOWN FACT THAT THIS HAPPENS FAR TOO FREQUENTLY TO THE ACCORDS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE GT TIRES, SIZE: 225/45ZR/17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES EXHIBITED SMALL CRACKS ON THE SIDEWALL. THE TIRES WERE TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC BUT TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,500 AND THE THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEED (65) MY CAR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FELL OUT OF GEAR AND THE ENGINE RACED TO 6K RPMS AND WAS UNABLE TO CATCH GEAR AGAIN WITH PATTING THE GAS PEDDLE. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF THE CARS BRAKE WAS ON BECAUSE THERE WAS ALMOST NO GLIDE. I WAS JUST BARELY ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND NOT BE REAR-ENDED AT HIGH SPEED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT WAS ABLE TO PROGRESS THROUGH SHIFTING BUT IS NOW UNABLE TO ADVANCE ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR DUE TO IT NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT HIGHER. IT IS ALSO FALLING OUT OF GEAR WHEN IDLING. I KEPT REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR AND CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ABOUT 15K MILES BEFORE I EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I AM BEING TOLD BY A TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT THE PROBLEM IS LIKELY WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND I WILL LIKELY N NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT THE TUNE OF ~$4000.00 NEEDLESS TO SAY I FEEL THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND PROBABLY CAUSED BY ORIGINAL PARTS BEING LOW QUALITY OR POORLY DESIGNED. *TR

I'VE EXPERIENCED MANY ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES SINCE MY CAR HIT 99,000 MILES. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES EVERY 20,000 MILES AND NOW I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THE ENGINE SEEMED TO JUST GO DEAD AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY. THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO STOP WHEN I WAS APPROACHING THE RED LIGHT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WOULD ONLY GO 5 MPH. I PULLED OFF THE STREET, STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL BUT I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I HAVE 5 OR MORE SENSORS THAT ARE FAILING, INCLUDING THE THROTTLE. THEY SAID IT WAS UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE AND THE CAR IS STILL THERE. SAID IT WILL COST AT LEAST $1300 TO FIX AND THAT MAY NOT FIX IT. I TRIED TO REPORT PREVIOUS BRAKING ISSUES TO AMERICAN HONDA IN DECEMBER 2011 AND THEY DISMISSED MY COMPLAINT. TOLD ME I NEEDED TO DEAL WITH THE DEALERSHIP. ORIGINALLY, I THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T FIX THE BRAKES AND JUST CHARGED ME FOR A SERVICE THEY DIDN'T PERFORM. NOW, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD TODAY. *TR

I NOTICED MY VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FLUID ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. LATER MY STEERING STARTED TO GET RIGID AND MAKE NOISES. WHILE I WAS DRIVING I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE CLOSET SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS LEAKING OIL ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND WAS DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING BECAUSE OF A FIRE. AFTER, I FIXED MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2003-07, V6 HONDA ACCORDS. ACCORDING TO THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN THE RECALL WAS THE SAME HOSE BY JUST A PART NUMBER APART. BECAUSE MY HONDA ACCORD IN A 4 CYLINDER IT WAS NOT SHOWN AS BEING ELIGIBLE TO BE FIXED BY HONDA. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA!! *TR

MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 WAS TAKEN ON A TRIP. THE FIRST DAY OF THE TRIP, DARK SMOKED POURED INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE INTERIOR VENTS AND ALSO CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF DARK SMOKE WAS INVOLVED AND ALSO HAD A DISTINCT SMELL OF BURNING. IT APPEARED AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD, JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR, AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED TO SAY THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE HAD A HOLE IN IT WHICH CAUSED FLUID TO LEAK ONTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HE SAID THE PUMP SEALS WERE LEAKING AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE WITHOUT A CAR FOR TWO AND A HALF DAYS WHILE ON VACATION. LATER FOUND OUT APPLETREE HONDA IN FLETCHER NC CHARGED $314 FOR A USED PUMP, THOUGH NEVER TELLING US IT WAS USED. THE HOSE COST $136.43, ALONG WITH OTHER BELTS, ETC... WE LEFT WITH A $914.00 BILL. *TR

MY FIANCEE, HER BROTHER, OUR 22-MONTH OLD SON , AND MYSELF WERE ON THE HIGHWAY (270S) TO REAGAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AT 6:30 PM WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND STARTED SHAKING. NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. I WALKED AROUND THE CAR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR, STARTED THE ENGINE AND STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL WITHOUT MUCH OF AN ACCELERATION. WE CALLED A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A SPARK PLUG ISSUE. WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO HIS SHOP AND THE DIAGNOSTICS WAS CYLINDER MISFIRING. IT TURNED OUT THAT A SPARK PLUG BECAME LOOSE,MELTED, AND DESTROYED THE CYLINDER. HE FIXED THE TREADS WHERE THE SPARK PLUG SCREWS INTO THE ENGINE BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT PRESSURIZE. HE WENT INSIDE THE ENGINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE LOT OF LOOSE DEBRIS IN THE ENGINE AND THE SMOOTH SURFACE AGAINST WHICH THE CYLINDER GLIDES IN THE ENGINE WAS DAMAGED AND WAS VERY ROUGH. HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, WHICH HE IS CURRENTLY DOING FOR A MINIMUM OF $2500 OUT OF POCKET SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I HOPE THIS SOLVES THE PROBLEM. OUR CAR IS WELL-MAINTAINED AND ALL THE FACTORY-RECOMMENDED SERVICES HAVE BEEN DONE. WE WERE NEVER TOLD BY THE DEALERS THAT THE SPARK PLUGS CAN BECOME LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE CHECKED. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND IT TURNED OUT THAT MANY HONDA OWNERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT HAVE 6-CYLINDER VEHICLES (ACCORDS/ODYSSEY) HA

UPON HAVING THE SECONDARY SHAFT BEARING RECALL COMPLETED MY CAR STARTED TO DRIVE VERY SLUGGISH.
