THIS SECOND TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THEY FOUND THE SEAL WAS AGAIN NOT PROPER. I HAVE CONCERNS OF MOLD, MILDEW AND OTHER POTENTIAL WATER DAMAGE.

2004 HONDA ACCORD LX 4 CYL. AUTOMATIC 4 DOOR 4533 MILES EY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGINITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. EACH TIME I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM OF THIS EVENT. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN, BUT THEY NEED TO SEE THE KEY NOT COME OUT OF THE CAR TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IF IT CAME OUT THEN BRING IT IN THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM. EACH TIME I WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH KEY REMOVAL AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF PLAY. I WOULD BE ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON. I WOULD DRIVE AROUND, COME BACK PARK, PLAY WITH KEY,GIGGLE KEY UP AND DOWN, SIDE TO SIDE, AND STILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY KEY OUT. I MADE SURE THAT I WAS IN PARK, BACK UP GO FORWARD, AND PARK, PULL UP E-BRAKE. I RISKED MY CAR BEING STOLEN BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET THE KEY OUT AT 11:30PM ON 12/5/2004. I PUT MY JACKET OVER MY WHEEL TO COVER IT UP AND LOCKED THE CAR WITH MY SPARE KEY. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER 24 HOURS OF BEING STUCK- IT CAME OUT IN THE SERVICE DRIVE. HONDA HAS HAD 12 COMPLAINTS UP TO DATE. NO RECALL HAS BEEN FORMATTED, NOR HAS THERE BEEN A SUCCESSFUL SOLUTION TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.*AK

THREE MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA ACCORD AND ON NOVEMBER 28TH I NOTICED A UNSUAL SMELL AND PROCEDEED TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE CLUTCH ON MY VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AND WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED THREE SAFETY RECALLS: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 06E023000, 073004000, AND 07E031000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS). THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

A GRINDING AND SHAKING WHEN BRAKING, WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I MUST NOT BE USED TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM THE ROADS WERE COMPLETELY DRY AND NO REASON FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES TO COME ON, I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AGAIN , THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME IT JUST NEEDED A MINOR ADJUSTMENT AND IT WAS ALL SET. BACK A 3RD TIME , THEY REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND REALIGNED , TO WHICH I RECIEVED THE CAR AGAIN UNFIXED . SERVICE MANAGER WAS VERY ARGUEMENTIVE AND RUDE AND TOLD US THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR VECHICLE AND IF WE HAD A PROBLEM FROM HERE WE WOULD NEED TO SPEAK THE HONDA MOTOR CORP. SERVICE MANAGER . HE INDICATED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM THAT HONDA IS SEEING IN THE ACCORDS IN STATES WHERE THE CLIMATES ARE VARIED AND COLD, ALSO HE SAID HE WOULD ROLL UP HIS SLEEVES AND GET IT FIXED FOR US. AFTER 13 DAYS IN THE REPAIR SHOP AND NEW BRAKES,TIRES,RIMS AND SOME OTHER MINOR COMPONETS OUR CAR WAS RETURNED TO US WITH THE ORIGINAL SERVICE PERSON HAVING A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TONE TO HIS VOICE AND HE ALSO SAID HE WAS NOT SURE IF THEY FIXED IT ! WELL, GUESS WHAT THEY DID NOT !!!!!!!! MY CAR IS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD AND THEY WANT ME TO FIX IT YET AGAIN AND I FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD GIVE US A NEW VEHICLE OR BUY US OUT OF THIS ONE AND THEY SAID NO THAT THEY ONLY OBLIGATION IS TO KEEP FIXING IT AND THAT WAS FROM THE DEALER AND THE HONDA CONSUMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT ALSO. THE RELATIONS DEPARTMENT OFFERED TO HAVE A DIFFERENT DEALER WORK ON IT BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS CAR IS A LEMON. IN MY OWN INVESTIGATIVE WORK WITH A FEW PEOPLE I KNOW WHO HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE AS ME (3 PEOPLE) 1 HAS HAD THE EXACT PROBLEM (DIFFERENT DEALER), 1 HAS HAD NO BRAKE PROBLEMS AND 1 HAS HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS BUT NOT EXACTLY LIKE OURS. IN ADDITION WHEN TALKING WITH THE HONDA MOTOR CORP. CONSUMER RELATIONS IT TOOK WEEKS FOR THEM TO CONTACT ME AND WHEN I FINALLY DID TALK TO THEM THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE IT FIXED 1 MORE TIME BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEEE ME THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I STARTED TO BRAKE AT A RED-LIGHT. MY CAR DID DID NOT STOP ACCELERATING. I PRESSED THE BRAKES AS FAR AS THEY WOULD GO TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN I GOT TO A LOW SPEED I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. A MINUTE LATER I TURNED THE IGNITION ON AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING WHILE IT WAS IN PARK. I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY HELD IT FOR 2-3 DAYS AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS WAS THE THIRD INCIDENT OF UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION.

CAR HESITATES ON START UP, TAKES TWO TIMES TO START CAR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. DEALER STATES THAT CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SYSTEM CHECKS FINE. *NM

I OWNED A 2004 HONDA ACCORD 2 DOOR COUPE. I FILED FOR LEMON LAW BECAUSE AMERICAN HONDA REFUSED TO FIX A MAJOR TRANSMISSION OIL LEAK IN THE CAR. I HAVE WON THE LEMON LAW CASE, BUT WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT AMERICAN HONDA WAS NOT GOING TO RECALL ALL THE CARS WITH THAT TRANSMISSION, I FELT LIKE I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO A LOW VENT VALVE ON THE SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION ONLY HOLDS 2 QUARTS OF OIL. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 9/2004. FROM 9/2004 TO 9/2005, I WITNESSED WELL OVER A QUART OF OIL SPILL OUT AND ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. I HAVE A DETAILED OUTLINE THAT I CAN E-MAIL YOU ON REQUEST OUTLINING ALL OF THE VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE OUTCOME OF EACH VISIT. THE LOCATION WHERE THIS OIL COMES OUT, IS ALSO WHERE THE CLUTCH IS LOCATED. I HAD NOTICED CLUTCH SLIPPAGE SOON AFTER BUYING THE CAR. I AM ASSUMING THE CLUTCH WAS SLIPPING DUE TO THE OIL SOAKING THE CLUTCH PLATE AND DISK. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A FULL RECALL DONE ON ALL OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS. AMERICAN HONDA ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE MODIFIED THE 2005 TRANSMISSION TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, BUT WILL NOT RECALL THE OLD TRANSMISSION. *JB

I GOT OUT THE DRIVEWAY AND MADE A RIGHT TURN. THE IGNITION KEY JUMP OUT OF THE IGNITION KEY HOLE AND BROKE THE KEY HANDLE ( PLASTIC WITH REMOTE DOORS/TRUNK OPENING. THE CAR STALLED AND STOP. I PUT THE KEY ( THE METAL PART) IN BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT START. I TRIED SUPER GLUE THE METAL AND PLASTIC BACK TOGETHER AND TURN THE IGNITION KEY. THE ENGINE WAS ON NORMAL. I TOOK THE KEY OUT, AND TRIED TO TURN IT WITH THE METAL PART AGAIN. THE CAR DID NOT START. I DID NOT REALIZE THE SERIOUS OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL I READ THE WORCESTER TELEGRAM GAZETTE ( SATURDAY 8/13/05) AND FOUND THE HONDA ACURA RSX HAS THE SAME PROBLEM TO OTHER AND IT LOCKED HIM THREE TIMES. I MAY GET KILL IF THE KEY JUMP OUT OF THE IGNITION AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE ALERT HONDA ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS: COULD BE BAD IGNITION LOCK, SHIFT INTERLOCK MECHANISM, OR STEERING COLUMN OR THE ANTI-THEFT. PLEASE HELP AND INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY DEVICE. *JB

NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICLE. CONDITION UPON ACCEPTING VEHICLE WAS DEALER TO CORRECT A STEERING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE (CAR CONSTANTLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT). DEALER HAS HAD VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS NOW, TELLING US NUMEROUS TIMES THE STEERING ISSUE WAS FIXED, HOWEVER EACH TIME WE FIND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

COULD NOT START CAR ON 2 OCCASIONS MONTHS APART. ORIGINALLY THOUGHT STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED HARD AGAINST SWITCH. THIS TIME SWITCH EASILY TURNED BUT CAR SEEMED TO HAVE DEAD BATTERY. BOTH TIMES NO FURTHER INDICATION OF BATTERY PROBLEMS.*AK

DT: THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE STALL INTERMITTENTLY EVEN IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. DEALER CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING IN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC, THE PROBLEM IS MORE NOTICEABLE. *NM VEHICLE HAS REPEATED PROBLEMS GOING INTO FIRST GEAR. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN HONDA SHOP FOR ABOUT 75 DAYS AS OF 5/21/05 AND REPEATS THE STALLING ISSUE ON A REGULAR BASIS. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TT *NM

THE 2004 HONDA ACCORD I LEASED BRAKES ARE TOO SENSATIVE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER AND HONDA CORPORATE, THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BUT TELL ME IT'S THE WAY THE CAR WAS DESIGNED. IN MY OPINION, IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE CAR JERKS TO A STOP THE MOMENT THE BRAKES ARE TOUCHED. THIS MORNING AGAIN, THE DEALER TOLD ME I SIMPLY NEED TO GET USED TO THE BRAKES. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR ALMOST 10 MONTHS NOW AND WE ARE NOT USED TO IT YET.

CARBON MONOXIDE IS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES DIZZINESS AND HEADACHES. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

OVER-CLOCKED ODOMETER FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORD. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW 2004 ACCORD EX AND IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. THEY CLAIM THEIR IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO AS THE CAR IS WITH FACOTORY SPECS. THE CAR STILL DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT AND IS NOT CORRECT.*AK

BRAKES HAVE BEEN DANGEROUSLY SENSITIVE (GRAB) SINCE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. THEY CAN GRAB VERY DANGEROUSLY, CAUSING PASSENGERS TO LURCH FORWARD IN THE CAR. HONDA SERVICE SAYS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL 2004 ACCORDS AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE.*AK
