2003 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. 5 CAR PILE UP, ME BEING THE LAST CAR HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY HOWEVER THE PASSENGER SIDE DID.

THE AIR BAGS LIGHT CAME ON TWO WEEKS AGO AND GOES AWAY AND RETURNS SPECIALLY AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A FULL DAY OF DRIVING THE LIGHT COMES UP AND WILL NOT GO AWAY. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE COMPUTER FOR THE AIRBAGS IS DYING DOWN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT HONDA WILL NOT FIX PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT IF VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK. I ADVISED THEM THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD REPLACE AT NO COST BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE JUST SAID IF YOU WANT IT FIXED YOU WILL NEED TO PAY $ 541.00 AND TURNED AROUND AND REQUESTED FOR MY CAR TO BE RETURNED BACK TO ME. I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED AT HONDA AND ITS PERSONNEL BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PUBLIC LIKE THEY SAY IN THERE TV COMMERCIALS.

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND I COULD NOT SEE A THING. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT OTHER CARS WENT AROUND ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEIR IS NOT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THIS FOR 2003 HONDA ACCORDS NO. Q78 WHEN THE MOTOR GETS WET IT STOPS WORKING BUT FOR SOME REASON IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. ALSO I HAD A LEAK IN MY POWER STEERING AND TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE PUMP AND ENDED UP CHARGING ME $500.00 TO FIX BUT IT IS STILL LEAKING.

TAKATA RECALL - DRIVER'S SIDE WAS COMPLETED AT LIA HONDA, ALBANY NY ON 12/16/15. PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT FIXED - "UNABLE TO DO RECALL. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. CUSTOMER IS AWARE..." FIXING THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR TO OPEN IS NOT A VIABLE OPTION - TOO COSTLY. PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR DOES OPEN AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT COULD BE REMOVED. THIS WOULD PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH/AIRBAG. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS FOR HAVING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL COMPLETED? MY CALL TO AMERICAN HONDA (909-664-9134) WAS NOT PARTICULARLY HELPFUL - IF I FIXED THE DOOR TO PROVIDE ACCESS, THE RECALL COULD BE COMPLETED - BUT I DID RECEIVE A CASE #[XXX]. THE TITLE TO THE CAR IS IN MY WIFE'S NAME, [XXX], BUT I, [XXX], AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER AT THIS TIME AND SO I AM HANDLING THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND REMAINED DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES IN ORDER TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE HALT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000....UPDATED 09/14/16 *BF

MY CAR TURN ON WHEN HE WANT TOO I TRY TO TURN IT ON AND DO S CLACLACLA THEM LIKE 10 MINUTES LATER IT TURNS ON PEOPLE TELL ME ITS THE IGNITION IT DO THIS ALMOST EVERYDAY

THE 3RD GEAR IN MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAD ALMOST COMPLETELY GIVEN OUT. THE FIRST INCIDENT OF FAILURE WAS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. WHEN MY VEHICLE TRIED TO SHIFT TO 3RD GEAR THE GEAR WOULDN'T CATCH AND THE ENGINE REVVED FREELY WITHOUT INCREASING THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. I DID RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM SPECIFICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AND DISCOVERED THE ISSUE TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OTHER REPORTS.

I'VE NOTICED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT THE PAINT HAS FADED. IT SEEMS LIKE THE CLEAR COAT HAS BEEN REMOVED. THERE'S SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE HOOD, ROOF, FRONT FENDER, AND THE TRUNK. POSSIBLY BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURE USED POOR QUALITY PAINT.

TAKATA RECALL THIS IS MY COLLEGE STUDENT DAUGHTER'S CAR AND WE ARE VERY CONCERNED. HER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WE RECENTLY READ THERE WAS AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THIS MODEL THAT CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!!!. WHEN WE CALLED CURRY HONDA, SIERRA SAID HER VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. I WANT CLARIFICATION ON THIS ASAP. ARE ALL 2003 HONDAS IN DANGER? SINCE HER VIN COULDN'T BE "LOCATED" ON THE RECALL LIST, WE WANT HONDA TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS SINCE HER CAR FALL IN THIS CATEGORY. SHE HAS AN AUTOMATIC (NOT A STICK SHIFT) 2003 HONDA COUPE

THE TORQUE CONVERTER ISNT LOCKING UP ANYMORE...THE CAR CAN STOP ANY TIME BY ITSELF. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE P0741
