2004 Honda Accord Complaint Log

I WAS HIT BY A TRUCK FROM BEHIND WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR ONCOMING CARS TO PASS ( I HAD TO TURN LEFT). THE TRUCK WAS GOING AT LEAST 50 M/H. MY HONDA IS TOTALED. NONE OF THE SIX AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYED. *TR

I LEASED A 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 IN MAY OF 2004, FROM RICK CASE IN MIRAMAR FL. ON AUGUST 31, 2005, I HAD TO HAVE MY O RING DISCHARGE LINE REPLACED, DUE TO LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND NOISE. THEN, ON APRIL 3, 2006 I HAD TO HAVE MY ENTIRE RADIO/CD PLAYER CHANGED OUT DUE TO LED NOT WORKING AND BOTH BACK WINDOW MOTORS REPLACED DUE TO LOUD NOISE AND ROLLING DOWN SLOWLY. IN JULY 2006, I RELOCATED TO ATLANTA, GA AND PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE VIA RETAIL (TRANSFERRED THE TITLE) IN AUGUST 2007. THEN, NOVEMBER 9, 2007, I HAD TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACED DUE TO LEAKING FLUIDS AND A LOUD NOISE. TODAY IS AUGUST 6, 2009 AND I AM AGAIN HAVING THE SAME POWER STEERING ISSUES!! OTHER PROBLEMS THAT I AM CURRENTLY HAVING WITH MY CAR: HAD TO GET MY BATTERY CHANGED AUGUST 9, 2007; WINDOW MOTOR PROBLEMS WITH BOTH MY FRONT SEAT WINDOWS; INTERNAL LIGHTS NOT WORKING ON TRANSMISSION GEAR-SHIFT, OVER-HEAD LIGHT. I AM SO UNHAPPY WITH THIS HONDA PURCHASE AS I THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE KNOWN FOR THEIR LONGEVITY, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER AND GOT THE CAR BRAND NEW. THE MAIN THING IS I NEED ANSWERS OR DIRECTIONS AS TO WHAT MY NEXT STEP. PLEASE ADVISE, THANK YOU. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR!! UPDATED 08/07/09.*JB

THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS PRIOR TO SUDDEN FAILURE OF MY TRANSMISSION IN MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED SPEED. THE ENGINE REVVED, WHILE MY CAR WENT NO WHERE. LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A EXTREMELY BUSY ROAD (WITH MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR). I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY SHOT AND HAD TO EITHER BE REPLACED OR REBUILT....IT ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE YET TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN DOING MY RESEARCH, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY POPULAR PROBLEM. QUITE CONFUSED AS TO HOW A CAR CAN GO FROM WORKING JUST FINE, TO NEEDING A COMPLETELY NEW TRANSMISSION WITHIN A MATTER OF MINUTES. *TR

OVER THE PAST 10 MONTHS, STARTING APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 2009, THE AIR LIGHT IN MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EXL WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON THEN GO BACK OFF. MORE RECENTLY, IT COMES ON A DAILY BASIS. WHEN I BUCKLE MY SEATBELT AND START THE CAR IT MAY APPEAR AND STAY ON THE ENTIRE TIME WHILE DRIVING. THEN WHEN I STOP AND TURN OFF THE CAR THEN TURN IT BACK ON, THE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT SHOW UP AGAIN. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V001000 FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORD. "COMPONENT: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR (SPS) DETECTS THE DRIVER'S SEATING POSITION AND ADJUSTS THE AIR BAG INFLATION PRESSURE ACCORDINGLY. THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE SPS WAS ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME IN THE WRONG LOCATION AND MAY HAVE BEEN OVER TIGHTENED. THE SENSOR WIRE MAY BREAK AND CAUSE THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED, AND THE SPS TO FAIL. CONSEQUENCE: A FAILURE OF THE SPS CAUSES THE AIR BAG SYSTEM TO DEFAULT TO FULL INFLATION PRESSURE, REGARDLESS OF THE SEAT POSITION. FULL DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY FOR SMALLER DRIVERS IN A FRONTAL CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR WIRING SUBHARNESS. THE RECALL WILL BEGIN ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY 8, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009." I CONTACTED AMERICA HONDA MOTOR AND THEY SAID THAT THIS RECALL WAS ON THE 2004 ACCORD LX AND EX BUT NOT MY EXL MODEL OR MY VIN NUMBER. I FEEL THAT MY CAR IS EXHIBITING THE SAME ISSUES AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT ACCELERATED AND THE TRANSMISSION BECAME EXTREMELY SLUGGISH AND BEGAN TO SLIP GEARS IN A JERKING MOTION. THE RPMS BEGAN TO INCREASE. THE CONTACT DROVE TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AND THEN RESUMED WITH THE CONTINUOUS FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND TWO INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOPS FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THE FAILURES WERE RELATED TO A DEFECTIVE PART WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DIAGNOSED WITH A FORTH OPINION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2004 HONDA ACCORD WITH 44K MILES NEEDS TRANSMISSION REPLACED. CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER CARE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR SOME 2004 ACCORDS FOR FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT (NHTSA: 04V176000). HONDA SAYS OUR VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR RECALL. CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM HONDA DEALER AND ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED ON SCHEDULE AND ALL WORK DONE BY HONDA DEALERSHIP. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A BRAND NEW CAR, WITH ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WORK COMPLETED, TO REQUIRE A TOTAL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WITH ONLY 44 K MILES. HONDA HAS AGREED TO PAY 60% OF THE REPAIR COSTS. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS (IE, THE RECALL). THE DEFECT INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ADDITIONAL HONDA VIN'S AS THERE IS OBVIOUSLY MORE CARS WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES. *TR

COMMUTING TO WORK IN THE MORNING, WHEN I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR SEEMED TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR. THE RPM'S WENT VERY HIGH (7K), BUT I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL. I COASTED FOR A WHILE AND WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY AGAIN. THE CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY THE REST OF THE TIME ON THE FREEWAY, BUT HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER I EXITED THE FREEWAY. AFTER STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION, I COULDN'T GET OUT OF 1ST GEAR FOR A WHILE. AFTER WORK, I DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE BACK STREETS FOR A LITTLE TO SEE IF I THOUGHT I COULD GET HOME, FIGURING THAT ONCE I GOT ON THE FREEWAY, EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE. AFTER A FEW MILES ON THE FREEWAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL, AND HAD TO CUT ACROSS 4 LANES WITH JUST MY MOMENTUM TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER. ONCE THERE, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND TRIED TO SEE IF I COULD MOVE AT ALL. I COULDN'T. IN PARK, I COULD REV THE ENGINE AND SEE THE RPM'S INCREASE, BUT WHEN I SHIFTED TO DRIVE OR REVERSE, I COULDN'T GET THE ENGINE TO ENGAGE OR MOVE AT ALL. I RESTARTED THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES, AND EVENTUALLY GOT IT TO RESPOND, BUT SHORTLY AFTER GETTING BACK ON THE FREEWAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, SO I PULLED OVER ONCE MORE AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE TOW TRUCK GOT ME BACK TO THE HONDA DEALER, WHERE I LATER FOUND OUT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A 2004 WITH 90K MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS CRACKING THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENTIRE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 70,400. UPDATED 08/04/09 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A 4 INCH CRACK ON THE STEERING WHEEL COVER WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED. UPDATED 08/06/09.*JB

WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 9 IN OLD BRIDGE, NJ MY VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR AND MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO 20 MPH. *TR

2004 HONDA ACCORD V-6 66,000 MILES I HAVE HAD ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICES PERFORMED ON MY CAR WITH THE DEALERSHIP THINKING THIS WOULD KEEP MY CAR SAFE, WHICH FAILED TO BE THE CASE. MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH ONLY HAVING 66,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 45 MILES WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I PLACED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE COMPANY AND THEY WOULD ONLY HONOR 75% OF THE FEE TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER STATING IT WAS UNSAFE AND UNFAIR AND I WOULD SEEK LEGAL ACTION, THEY FORCED ME TO SIGN A RELEASE FORM OR THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE 75% FEE REQUIRED FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO THE CONSUMER ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE THEIR TRANSMISSION GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. AT 66,000 MILES WITH A HISTORY OF ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED, IT JUST SEEMS THIS VEHICLE HAD A FACTORY DEFECTED TRANSMISSION. I FEEL HONDA IS AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL YEAR TRANSMISSION BUT ISN'T TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT AND IT COULD BE UNSAFE ON THE ROAD. *TR

2004 HONDA ACCORD, 2 DOOR, 6 SP MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING, OCCASIONALLY WHEN TURNING ON TURN SIGNAL, TURNING ON THE HIGH BEAMS OR TOUCHING THE BRAKES CAUSES AN INTERRUPTION TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE CAR AND IT JUST SHUTS OFF. IF MOVING WITH THE CLUTCH OUT, THE CAR STARTS BACK UP AND CONTINUES. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND GETS MORE FREQUENT THE LONGER YOU DRIVE--LIKE ON A LONG TRIP. IS EXCITING WHEN PUTTING TURN SIGNAL ON WHILE PASSING WHILE AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65MPH WHEN CAR SUDDENLY FELT LIKE IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I WOULD ACCELERATE AND THE RPM'S WOULD REV UP HIGH, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. NEXT DAY, COULDN'T GET THE CAR INTO GEAR AT ALL. *TR

WATER IS LEAKING INSIDE THE CAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR NEXT TO THE FOOT REST, BRAKE PEDAL EVERYTIME IT RAINS OUTSIDE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS WERE INOPERATIVE. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V001000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE); THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,000. 8/7/09 *CN UPDATED 08/11/09.*JB

WHAT DOES ONE HAVE TO DO WHEN THERE ARE NO BRAKES ON MY HONDA BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AND IT IS THE SAMETHING THEY HAVE A RECALL ON ?????? I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED 4 TIMES ?????? I DISAPPOINTED THAT

EARLY MODEL 2004 HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND WITH NO WARNING HAS ISSUES. WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, (I WAS GOING UP A HILL AT THE TIME) THE ENGINE REVS REALLY HIGH AND THEN WILL NOT GO. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND TURN IT OFF BEFORE CREATING AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND MAKE IT HOME. SAME THING HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY AND WE IMMEDIATELY CONTRACTED THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I THEN READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THIS 2003 AND2004 HONDA ACCORD V-6. PLEASE MAKE SURE HONDA FIXES THIS PROBLEM SOON...IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. *TR THANK YOU

THE FRONT INSTRUMENT PANEL (THE PANEL THAT CONTAINS THE BUTTONS TO TURN ON/OFF THE DEFROST, HEATER, AIR CONDITIONER, RADIO) FAILED TO ILLUMINATE IN APRIL OF 2009. AFTER GETTING IN MY CAR, PUTTING MY KEY IN THE IGNITION, AND TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS ON I NOTICED THAT THE PANEL DID NOT ILLUMINATE. TYPICALLY, THE PANEL ILLUMINATES AFTER TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS DAY, AFTER TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS THE PANEL DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND HAS NEVER THERE AFTER ILLUMINATED SINCE THAT DATE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT TO BE AN ISSUE WITH A FUSE (SINCE IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE) SO I SOUGHT THE OWNERS MANUAL TO SEE WHICH FUSE CONTROLLED THE PANEL. AFTER HAVING DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING THE FUSE LAYOUT I SEARCHED ONLINE FOR HELP AND THAT IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT IN FACT IS NOT A PROBLEM CAUSED BY A SIMPLE FUSE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND THE DEFROST BUTTON ON THE PANEL WHEN IT IS NOT ILLUMINATED AND ON RAINY NIGHTS OR OTHER NIGHTS WHEN THE DEFROST IS NEEDED BE VERY OBSTRUCTIVE TO THE CLEAR VISIBILITY OF THE DRIVER OF THEY CAN NOT ACCESS THE DEFROST WHEN NEEDED. BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT A RECALL IS ACTIVATED TO REPLACE AND FIX THE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS OF THE PANEL THAT I HAVE DETAILED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. UPDATED 03/23/12 *BF UPDATED 04/09/12

I PURCHASED BRIDGESTONE TIRES (4) APRIL 2009 - REPLACING THE SAME BRAND/TYPE. THEY STARTED OUT NOISY AND BECAME PROGRESSIVELY NOISY. THE PRIOR SET DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND IS FAR WORSE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE INCIDENT OCCURRING UPON PURCHASE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW FROM THE DEALER. IT IS A FOUR DOOR, WITHIN A MONTH OF OWNING THE CAR THE CABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE BROKE ON THE REAR LEFT DOOR. TODAY THE CABLE BROKE ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CABLE IT DOESN'T LOOK STRONG ENOUGH TO LAST FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME AND BEING UNABLE TO GET OUT IN AN EMERGENCY COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR HAS ALSO PULLED TO THE RIGHT SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT BUT AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALER MORE THEN 4 TIMES WITH NO RESULTS I JUST LEARNED TO LIVE WITH IT. *TR

BRAKES FAILED PREMATURELY - AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES, PARKING BRAKE LOCKED/SEIZED WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATING AND CAUSED $700 WORTH OF REPAIRS, INCLUDING NEW ROTORS, PADS, ETC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD V6 IT JUST STOP DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY NO WARNING ,PUTTING MY LIFE AT DANGER AS TRUCKS AND TRAILERS WERE COMING AT MY CAR I WAS TERRIFIED. HONDA CARS SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD WARN CONSUMERS WHEN THEY ARE PURCHASING. *TR

RANDOM DEPLOYMENT OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. SIDE CURTAIN, AND DOOR AIRBAG. 2004 HONDA ACCORD COUPE. *TR

I OWN A 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX. THE CLIMATE CONTROL, CD, RADIO, DEFROSTER, ETC ARE DISPLAYED ON AN BACK-LIT LED DISPLAY CONSOLE. OVER A YEAR AGO THE BACKLIGHT WENT OUT, RENDERING THE DISPLAY USELESS. READING VARIOUS CAR BLOGS, THIS HAS BEEN A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE ACCORDS. SO MUCH SO THAT HONDA HAS RECALLED SOME VIN NUMBERS (BUT NOT MINE) IN THE DAYLIGHT HOURS, THIS IS A MERE INCONVENIENCE, AT NIGHT IT HAS PRESENTED SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHILE DRIVING IN TRYING BLINDLY TO ADJUST CLIMATE SETTINGS -ESPECIALLY THE DEFROSTER. I REPORTED THIS TO HONDA, BUT THEY SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT QUALIFY. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THIS LIGHT FOR $645. PLEASE CONSIDER INVESTIGATING. *TR

NOTICED UPON STARTING CAR: LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD HAVE DARKENED COMPLETELY (AND PERMANENTLY, NOT INTERMITTENTLY). THIS INCLUDES THE DEFROSTER INDICATOR, DASHBOARD BUTTONS, CLIMATE CONTROL, RADIO, AND CLOCK. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 03-07 ACCORDS, HUNDREDS OF USERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT FOR YEARS. SEE THE FOLLOWING THREAD: HTTP://WWW.ASKMEHELPDESK.COM/ADVICE/T-8584.HTML PLEASE SUBMIT THIS TO HONDA FOR RECALL ACTION. *TR

MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX COUPE STARTS JERKING WHEN I REACH 3000RPM OR GOING UPHILL. I CANNOT GO FASTER THAN 40MPH WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE SHIFTING FROM THE PARK POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION BECAME LOCKED. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE RPMS DRASTICALLY INCREASED AND THE ENGINE REVVED VERY LOUDLY; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE BARELY TRAVELED OVER 2 MPH. SHE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED; HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND SEVERAL FAILED COMPONENTS WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION, ALONG WITH NUMEROUS DEFECTS WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE CONTACT HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, SHE DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) ONLINE. SHE CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO HER VEHICLE; THEREFORE, SHE WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE RECALL APPLIED TO HER VEHICLE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 89,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD GO DIMMER AND BRIGHTER ABOUT EVERY MINUTE WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. THIS HEADLIGHT PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE A/C OR DEFROST IS ON. I BELIEVE THE EXTRA LOAD ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITH THESE COMPONENTS TURNED ON IS CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS TO DIM ABOUT EVERY 60 SECONDS. IT COULD BE RELATED TO A FAN OR OTHER ENGINE COMPONENT TURNING ON AND OFF, NOT SURE. THE DEALER REPLACED MY BATTERY AND CHECKED THE ALTERNATOR BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS NORMAL FOR HONDA ACCORDS TO DO THIS, BUT I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING TO MYSELF AND THE DRIVERS IN FRONT OF ME. IT LOOKS LIKE I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE LOW BEAM, HIGH BEAM AND FOG LIGHTS BECAME DIM. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND RADIO LIGHTING WOULD ALSO SPORADICALLY FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS INDICATED THAT THE ELD DEVICE IN THE FUSE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40000.

DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45 MPH CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 60MPH. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THEY HAD LOCKED AND WERE PUSHING UP AGAINST MY FOOT. I CALLED 911 THE OFFICER TOLD ME TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF BRAKE. WHEN I DID THE CAR IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED TO 80 MPH. IT INCREASED IN INCREMENTS OF 10 TO 120MPH. BRAKES AND EMERGENCY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. I TRAVELED FOR MORE THAN 6 MILES DODGING TRAFFIC BEFORE THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND THE BRAKES RE-ENGAGED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET POLICE KNOW WHERE I WAS. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND THROTTLE BODY WAS STUCK OPEN DUE TO SOOT AND CARBON BUILD UP. DEALER NOTED THE THROTTLE BODY LOOKED LIKE IT HAD NEVER BEEN CLEANED. DEALER SUGGESTED IF I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA FOR REGULAR SERVICE THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I SERVICE MY CAR EVERY 3000 MILES MY CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED BY HONDA FOR TUNE UPS AND OTHER PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. I AM EXTREMELY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I HAVE READ 11 SIMILAR INCIDENTS ON THIS WEBSITE. INVESTIGATIONS NEED TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WIRE UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SEAT FAILED DUE TO THE AIR BAG SENSOR MODULE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V001000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE). THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 52,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 60 MPH. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET, BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. HE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY PULLING INTO A SAFE AREA AND SLAMMING THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO REV BETWEEN 5,000-6,000 RPMS. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 70,000.

2004 HONDA ACCORD V6EX. AUDIO-HVAC DISPLAY IS DARK. HONDA ARE AWARE OF ALL MODEL 2003 & 2004 BUT REFUSED TO RECALL DUE TO THE COST. THEY EVEN PUT A SERVICE BULLETIN 04-027 OUT IN ALL THEIR DEALERSHIP. *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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD A STRANGE NOISE AND THE RPMS WOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO ACCELERATE. SHE PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR 30 MINUTES. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT WOULD ONLY TRAVEL BETWEEN 15-20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE THIRD GEAR AND REVERSE FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HER TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY MOVE IN FIRST GEAR AND THEN LOCK UP. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 115,000.

ON NOVEMBER 24, 2008 MY WIFE WAS IN AN INCIDENT WHERE SHE REAR ENDED THE SUV IN FRONT OF HER. AUTO BODY MASTERS (ABM), THE OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDED REPAIR FACILITY FOR MILLER HONDA IN CULVER CITY, CA, IS THE REPAIR FACILITY THAT REPAIRED OUR CAR. SHORTLY AFTER JANUARY 1, 2009, ABM INFORMED US THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BADLY AND THE WARNING LIGHT INDICATED A MALFUNCTION IN THE TRANSMISSION. SUBSEQUENTLY ABM TOOK OUR CAR TO MILLER HONDA TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT MILLER HONDA TOLD ME THAT AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, MILLER HONDA WOULD MAKE A DETERMINATION IF THE ACCIDENT CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO MALFUNCTION. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE SENT TO AMERICAN HONDA FOR A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY ACTUALLY HAD THE ABILITY TO OVERRIDE THE DEALER DECISION AND THE DECISION TO OVERRIDE COULD BE MADE AFTER THE FACT. FURTHERMORE, I WAS ADVISED THAT, IF THE DAMAGE WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE ACCIDENT IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT WE PURCHASED. ON JANUARY 22, 2009, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY MILLER HONDA. I WAS INFORMED THAT AN EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL EXAMINATION OF THE TRANSMISSION FOUND NO INDICATION OF DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT AND THUS OUR HONDA CARE EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT COVERED THE COST OF THIS REPAIR. I DID WHAT RESEARCH I COULD ON THE INTERNET REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSIONS AND QUICKLY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 2003/2004 V6 ACCORDS HAS A HISTORY OF FAILING IN SUCH A WAY AS IT IS COMMON FOR THE CAR TO HESITATE AND JERK. ADDING ANOTHER FACTOR IS THAT SOME 2004 ACCORDS HAD A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WITH ALL THESE ISSUES IN MIND, IT HAS BECOME CLEAR THAT THE CAUSE OF MY WIFE'S ACCIDENT IS NOT AS CLEAR CUT AS IT FIRST APPEARS. MY WIFE'S RECOLLECTION OF THE INCIDENT HAS CONSISTENTLY BEEN THAT. *TR

WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING AND BACKING OUT OF GARAGE, NOTICED A WHINING, GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND MORE SO WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR WOULD ALSO WHINE WHEN DRIVING AND ACCELERATING. ALSO FOUND THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS GETTING GRADUALLY HARDER TO TURN. BROUGHT CAR TO LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE 0-RING AT POWER STEERING INLET JOINT BUT FOUND THE WHINING TO CONTINUE. THE POWER STEERING PUMP & RESERVOIR WERE CHANGED WHICH SOLVED THE PROBLEM. SIX MONTHS LATER, FOUND A LEAK UNDER THE CAR AND BURNING SMELL. RETURNED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND FOUND LEAK COMING FROM POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE. HOSE WAS REPLACED. ABOUT 4 YEARS LATER, STARTED NOTICING WHINING/HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AGAIN. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT IN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP THAT SPECIALIZES IN HONDAS. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE TENSIONER AND CHANGED IT. THE CAR CONTINUED TO WHINE. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED AGAIN. IT TOOK CARE OF THE NOISE. THE PUMP THAT WAS REPLACED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP LASTED ONLY 35502 MILES. FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE 2004 HONDA ACCORD HAS HAD 3 POWER STEERING PUMPS IN THE SPAN OF 9 YEARS AND THE CAR HAS ONLY 93722 MILES. *TR

AT 95,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO TAKE MY CAR TO BE SERVICED BECAUSE THE TRANNY SEEMED TO SLIP IN AND OUT OF GEAR. ON MY WAY THERE, WHICH WAS A 10 MINUTE DRIVE, THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I COULD SEE THE RPS GO UP BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I BRACED MYSELF BECAUSE A WOMAN DRIVING A BLACK INFINITI ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND! IT FINALLY DECIDED TO MOVE AND I WAS ALMOST TO THE SHOP AND DECIDED TO TURN OFF THE BUSY ROAD AS SOON AS I DID THAT (I BARELY MADE IT THROUGH THE ELIGHT) THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN AND I COASTED INTO A BANK PARKING LOT AND HAD THE CAR TOWED FORM THERE. THE MECHANIC SHOP SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TRANSITION FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND HESITATED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE CONTACT WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES BEFORE IT FAILED TO SHIFT AT ALL. IT SEEMED AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL. SHE PUSHED THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND THEN CALLED HER INSURANCE COMPANY TO INQUIRE IF THE FAILURE MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE CRASH SHE WAS INVOLVED IN FIVE WEEKS EARLIER. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE CRASH. HE FURTHER STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AND REFERRED HER TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO COULD COMPLETE THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR. THE CONTACT IS CURRENTLY WAITING FOR HER INSURANCE COMPANY FOR FURTHER ACTION PRIOR TO HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 72,000.

MY 2004 ACCORD EX 4CYL HYDROPLANES IN WET WEATHER AND THE TIRES SPIN FROM A STOP. HONDA CLAIMS NO INCIDENT WAS EVER REPORTED AND MY CASE NUMBER IS N012008-10-2900938. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COMES OUT OF GEAR AT ANY TIME AND AT ANY SPEED OR DOWNSHIFTS INTO FIRST GEAR EVEN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN. THIS MAY BE RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V176000 BUT HONDA TOLD ME THAT THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN NUMBER. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

I HAVE COMPLAINED TO HONDA ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, ALMOST STALLING OUT AND THEN TAKING A HUGE JERK...IT NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN LETTING UP OFF MY GAS...THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS; LAST NIGHT I HAD THE RIDE OF MY LIFE IN ONLY A MATTER OF SECONDS! I WAS STOPPING BY THE BANK TO GET CASH FROM THE ATM; AS I LET UP OFF MY GAS, THE CAR DID A HARD JERK AND JUMPED THE SIDEWALK HITTING THE CORNER OF THE BANK. I'M SO GLAD NO ONE WAS USING THE ATM AT THIS TIME. MY AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND MY SEAT BELT RELEASED FOR ME TO GET OUT BUT NOW IT IS JAMMED AND WILL NOT PULL OUT ENOUGH FOR ME TO WEAR IT! WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'VE FOUND THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO MINE GOING BACK AS EARLY AS 2003, I REALLY FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD TAKE THESE COMPLAINTS MORE SERIOUS AND THAT THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE ISSUE AND ANY DAMAGES INCURRED DUE TO THE ISSUE. I AM A NERVOUS WRECK AND I HOPE NO ONE WILL EXPERIENCE WHAT I JUST WENT THROUGH. THERE SHOULD BE A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION REQUIRING HONDA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2004 HONDA ACCORD EX 4 CYLINDER, 5 SPEED MANUAL, ORIGINAL OWNER. HAD HONDA HANDLE THE RECALL FIX ON DRIVER FRONT AIRBAG WHEN THAT RECALL WAS ISSUED YEARS AGO. EVERYTHING OK PER HONDA AND THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS. WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS THE DASHBOARD LIGHT FOR DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG WILL INTERMITTENTLY COME ON, STAY ON FOR ENTIRE TRIPS. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CONNECT ITS ACTIVATION TO ANY SPECIFIC OCCURRENCE OR REGULAR PATTERN. ASK MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ABOUT IT AND HE REFERRED ME TO THE DEALER. HAVEN'T MADE AN APPOINTMENT. ANY NEWS FROM OTHER OWNERS? *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS RELATED TO A 2004 HONDA ACCORD V6 #, PURCHASED NEW BY MY WIFE AND MYSELF IN BELLEVUE WASHINGTON. 1. BACKGROUND: MY HONDA ACCORD WAS RECALLED UNDER THIS NTSB RECALL (HONDA RECALL 04-037 SPEED SENSOR 3RD GEAR INSPECTION): AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RECALLS AND DEFECTS FOUND ON 2004 HONDA ACCORD POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AUTOMOBILES. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION IS AUTHORIZED TO ORDER THE 2004 HONDA ACCORD POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MANUFACTURERS TO RECALL AND REPAIR VEHICLES OR PARTS OF MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT WHEN ITS INVESTIGATION INDICATES THAT THEY CONTAIN SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECTS IN THEIR STRUCTURE, OR PERFORMANCE. TO REMEDY THE RECALL HONDA PERFORMED A CAMERA VISUAL INSPECTION AND SPRAYED ?LUBRICANT? INTO THE TRANSMISSION. ON SEPTEMBER 15TH 2008, MY WIFE OBSERVED AN ?ENGINE LIGHT? ON THE DASH. WE IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 88,000 MILES BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I INITIALLY DIRECTED THE WORK TO BEGIN. I THEN CALLED BACK TO ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO HOLD ON THE REPAIRS AND ASKED HIM TO WAIT AND INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED, THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AND THAT AN 88K CAR SHOULD BE COVERED. I VERIFIED THAT THE WARRANTY FOR MOST HONDA ACCORD V6'S HAD BEEN EXTENDED. I THEN CALLED BACK TO HONDA AND WAS TOLD AT 130PM THAT THE LIGHT RESET AND THERE WAS NO NEED FOR REPAIR AND THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER, MR. ORTIZ WOULD NOT PURSUE WARRANTY REPAIR OF THE TRANSMISSION. 2. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAS SECONDARY INDICATIONS OF PENDING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WHEN THE SERVICE MANAGER REALIZED THAT THIS WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE, HE WAS WILLING TO SEND THE TRANSMISSION, WITH A LIKELY PENDING FAILURE BACK ON THE ROAD AND NOT COMPLYING WITH THE NTSB RECALL. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL THERE IS A PROBABILITY OF CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND CRASH. ESTIMATED VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1099796. *TR

MY CAR IS ACCORD 2004 EX - 4 CYLINDER - APPROX 86K MILES - MANUAL TRANSMISSION. MY CAR STARTED JERKING ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN I SWITCH GEAR TO 4TH AND 5TH GEAR. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I THOUGHT HE WAS JOKING BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A FUEL INJECTION ISSUE. THEN I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE MORE AROUND 88 SAME COMPLAINTS IN THIS WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/2002/TRANSMISSION/TRANSMISSION_SLIPPING_AND_JERKING.SHTML IT'S VERY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS, AND I THINK SINCE IT IS A DEFECT IN THEIR TRANSMISSION, THEY SHOULD RECALL AND PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

2004 V6 HONDA ACCORD WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE, BUT THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID, " YOUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL". HOWEVER, THE CAR HAS THE PROBLEMS LISTED IN THE RECALL AND IS REQUIRING A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WITH 92, 000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE A 04 HONDA ACCORD THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING THE CAR WILL NOT GO PASS 40 MPH AND AT 40 MPH IT STILL DOESN'T HOLD THAT SPEED IT SLIPS AND DECREASES SPEED AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN I POSITION THE CAR IN REVERSE FROM THE DRIVE GEAR IT WILL CONTINUE TO STAY IN THE DRIVE GEAR FOR A SECOND THEN IT WILL JUMP INTO REVERSE. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING AND CAN RESULT IN DEATH.*TR

I HAVE A 2004 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN EX, DURING THE TROPICAL STORM HANNA, I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN, WHEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. THERE IS A RECALL ON ALL 2003 HONDA ACCORDS FOR FAULTY WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS, BUT NO RECALL ON THE 2004. MY MECHANIC HAS FOUND THAT IT IS THE SAME SITUATION AS THE 2003 CARS AND WILL BE REPLACING THE MOTOR. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE, WHEN THEY QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN A BAD STORM. HONDA, SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS AND SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A RECALL. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING.!!! I HAVE REPORTED MY INCIDENT TO THEM, AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME ACTION TAKEN ON THIS MATTER. SARAH KING *TR

AUGUST 21, 08, I HAD SUDDEN AND COMPLETE FAILURE ON MY 2004 ACCORDS WINDOW WIPERS IN THE MIDDLE OF TROPICAL STORM FAY. THIS WAS A COMPLETE SURPRISE AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING IN RAINFALL. I WAS UNABLE TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. HONDA DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS YEAR MODEL BUT OF COURSE DID FOR THE 2003. *TR
