2005 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TAKATA RECALL WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RESPONSE, ACTION OF ANY KIND, OR EVEN ACKNOWLEGEMENT OF THE AIRBAG ISSUE WITH THIS SMALL (25,000 CARS) MODEL RUN DESCRIBED IN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS -- SEE COMPLAINT NUMBERS 10651654, 10652518, 10659813, 10717673, 10722366; AND TWO MORE RECENT ONES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER ON, SHE NOTICED THAT THE RADIO DID NOT FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE ON-OFF SWITCH BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

HEADLIGHTS HAVE TOP LAYER COMING OFF THE FINISH. THE HEADLIGHT THEN TURNS YELLOW AND THE CLEAR LENS BECOMES CLOUDY. THIS GREATLY REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT ON THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS CAUSES INCREASED DANGER OF A CAR HITTING AN ANIMAL OR PEDESTRIAN WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. AFTERMARKET LENS CLEANING KITS ONLY OFFER A TEMPORARY FIX. THE ONLY TRUE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS, AT A COST OF ALMOST $1000. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A SAFETY DEVISE THAT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR, JUST LIKE A SEAT BELT OR AIR BAG. THIS HEADLIGHT PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND ON EVERY CAR MANUFACTURE, NOT JUST HONDA. CLOUDY HEADLIGHTS SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO COST.

MY HEADLIGHTS APPEAR TO NOT ILLUMINATE VERY FAR IN THE NIGHT ON THE LOW BEAM. ADDITIONALLY AS A CONTRIBUTING THE OUTER CASING OF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DULL AND THE PLASTIC APPEARS TO HAVE DETERIORATED. WHILE THE DEALERSHIP I SAW 3 OTHER HONDAS WITH THE SAME CLOUDED OUTER CASINGS. ON THE HWY AT NIGHT I NOTICE NIGHTS ARE NOTICEABLY PROVIDING LESS LIGHT ON THE ROAD - AND I AM NOT COMPARING TO THE NEW STYLE TYPE LIGHTS - JUST REGULAR LIGHTS ON OTHER CARS SHINE WAY FURTHER OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED AT NEARLY $100 EACH I COULD HAVE A BODY SHOP WORK ON THEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE SAFETY HAZARD FROM POORLY DESIGNED MATERIALS USED FOR THE HEADLIGHTS AND IT FEEL HONDA SHOULD REMEDY THIS AS IT IS MAKING MY HEADLIGHT NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED OR EXPECTED. THE DEALERS ATTITUDE ( BEAVERTON HONDA) WAS NOT TO DO ANYTHING BUT THEY DID ACKNOWLEDGE THE DAMAGE VISIBILITY DUE TO THIS AND SAID IT WAS FROM BEING USED OUTSIDE IN WEATHER? IT'S A CAR NOT AN INDOOR HOUSE CAT!

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING A HONDA ACCORD 2005 AND WAS REAR ENDED BY A BMW X5. THERE SEEMED TO BE MINOR DAMAGE TO MY REAR BUMPER WITH NO COLLISION FROM THE FRONT. THE NEXT DAY, I STARTED MY CAR TURN ON THE AC AND LET THE CAR COOL DOWN. I STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR AND IN A FEW MINUTES THE DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA MOTOR SO THEY COULD FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITHT THE CAR, BUT HONDA WANTS 115 DOLLARS TO MAKE A DIANOSTIC WHICH I THINK IS RIDICULOUS. PLEASE ADVICE, I'M DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT AIRBAGS THAT HONDA REFUSES TO EVEN LOOK AT UNLESS I PAY 115 DOLLARS.

TAKATA RECALL I CALL [XXX] ABOUT MY CAR 2005 HONDA ACCORD AND ASK IF MY CAR IS INCLUDED IN THE AIR BAG RECALL AND WAS TOLD NO,, BUT I SEE THAT THE YEAR AND DATES ON THE ABC 13 HOUSTON LINK, SHOW MY CAN IS INCLUDED. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING IT REPLACE? THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I NEEDED TO QUICKLY STEER OUT OF A SEVERE CRASH SND WAS NOT ABLE TO BECAUSETHE STEERING GOT STUCK. NOTICED PROBLEMS OFF AND ON BUT TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ASSURED US THERE WAS NO PROBLEN WITH CAR. WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED UNTIL AFTER THE ACCIDENT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE THIS CERTAIN VEHICLE STEERING AND AIR BAGS . AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT WENT CRASH OCCURED THE AIRBAGS ALSO FAILED TO WORK THE CAME OUT FLAT.

AFTER TAKING MY 05 ACCORD IN FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL AND HAVING THEM REPLACED, THE EMPLOYEE AT THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME THAT MY SRS LIGHT IS ON AND IT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR FOR THE HARNESS. THIS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF FOR WELL OVER A YEAR, AND RECENTLY HAS JUST STAYED ON AT ALL TIMES. HE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $130 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM, AND THEN THE COST OF FIXING IT, IF THIS IS INDEED WHAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO STAY ON. MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE HONDA RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE, I BELIEVE HONDA SOMEHOW DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL OF THE VINS THAT ARE EFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. I TALKED TO HONDA AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP AT ALL. I AM CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND A PETITE WOMAN, THE HIGHEST RISK FACTOR FOR THIS ISSUE IF THE AIRBAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA. WILL BE CONTACTING MY ATTORNEY AFTER DIAGNOSIS IS MADE, ASSUMING DIAGNOSIS IS SPECIFICALLY THE SAME AS THE RECALL.

THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM ON MY 2005 ACCORD SEDAN IS NOT WORKING. THE SCREEN DISPLAYS "CHECK YOUR DISK" BUT IT ALSO AFFECTS THE A/C-HEATER FAN CONTROL, RADIO PRESET STATIONS, CLOCK SETTINGS, STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS. THIS TO ME IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE LACK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ADJUST THE FAN ON EITHER A/C OR HEATER, IT SEEMS TO ALL BE CONNECTED TO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM. PLEASE HELP! THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AS A SAFETY RECALL, IN CASE OF FOGGY WINDOW I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INCREASE THE FAN CONTROL. HOW DO I KNOW YOU TOOK MY CONCERN IN CONSIDERATION? ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE HELP!

TAKATA RECALL- I CANNOT GET ANY ANSWERS FROM HONDA AT 1-888-234-2138 REGARDING WHY MY HONDA TAKATA HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THEY PUT ME ON HOLD AND NEVER PICK UP AGAIN. IT'S A TOTAL RUN AROUND. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE OR LETTING ANYONE DRIVE IT KNOWING METAL PROJECTILES MAY BLIND ME OR PIERCE MY NECK.WHY IS THERE NOT A TOTAL RECALL OF TAKATA AIRBAGS IN HONDA'S?
