2004 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V370000 (AIR BAGS) BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SRS LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I AM DRIVING. ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V001000; COMPONENT: AIRBAGS. THE DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION SENSOR HARNESS WAS IMPROPERLY ROUTED. I NEED TO HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE AND REROUTE THE DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION SENSOR.

CLOCK, RADIO, AC LIGHTING PANEL WENT OUT AND DID NOT COME ON WHEN IGNITION WAS TURNED ON. NO DISPLAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED AND UNEXPECTEDLY BECAME INOPERABLE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2003 ACCORD MODELS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 08V169000 (VISIBILITY). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,475.

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA LISTS THE VEHICLE AS SUBJECT TO THE HONDA RECALL. HONDA CURRENTLY DOES NOT LIST THE VEHICLE AS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN SOUTH FLORIDA, ALWAYS DRIVEN IN FLORIDA. THE SRS LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ACTIVATED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS USED. LOCAL HONDA DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, HAS FAILED TO ACT. HONDA DEALER HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM NOTED ON THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE RECORD AS "PRIMARY ITEM CONCERN" IN JANUARY, 2013.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE RECALLED PART SINCE MARCH 2015. I'VE BEEN REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE ANY TIME IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR I WORRY THAT I WILL DIE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE PART WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO SEND TO ANY OF MY LOCAL DEALERSHIPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE TWO. THE VEHICLE HESITATED MOMENTARILY AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THE FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS SO BURNED THAT IT RESEMBLED TAR. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT PLACING IN IT A MACHINE TO SEE IF THE FAILURE WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT RECURRED A DAY LATER. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DECLINED TO ASSIST SINCE THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

AS I MERGED INTO A FREEWAY LANE, MY 2004 HONDAS TRANSMISSION FAILED CAUSING ME TO NEARLY BE REAR ENDED BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE.

THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. GEARS DOWNSHIFT ERRATICALLY AND UNPREDICTABLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. WHEN STARTING UP, OFTENTIMES FAILS TO SHIFT UP AND CAR CANNOT ACCELERATE, JUST REDLINES.

THOUGH 2004 HONDA ACCORDS ARE BEING RECALLED DUE TO DEADLY AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS, AND THOUGH HONDA WAS INITIALLY ADDING CARS TO THE RECALL LIST BY CUSTOMER REQUEST, HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ADD MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD TO THE VEHICLE RECALL LIST AND REPLACE ITS AIRBAGS. A SECOND 2004 HONDA ACCORD, THAT I PURCHASED THE SAME YEAR FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND LATER SOLD, IS ON THE RECALL LIST, WHICH ADDS TO MY VALID CONCERNS THAT HONDA'S RECALL LIST IS NOT COMPLETE OR ACCURATE, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HONDA HAS CONTINUED TO ADD NEW VIN NUMBERS TO THE RECALL LIST OVER THE PAST YEAR. ALTHOUGH I CALLED HONDA'S RECALL HOTLINE, THEY FAILED TO SHOW ANY CONCERN FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY AND REFUSED TO REPLACE MY AIRBAGS. HONDA HAS CAUSED MANY SENSELESS DEATHS BY REFUSING TO ADEQUATELY AND PROMPTLY ADDRESS THE AIRBAGS DEFECTS IN ITS CARS, AND IT IS UNFATHOMABLE TO ME THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE ON THEIR COURSE OF DEADLY APATHY.
