2005 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

MY COMPLAINT IS BASED ON THE RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY POSED BY THE POTENTIALLY FAULTY AIRBAGS IN ALL 2005 HONDA ACCORDS. NHTSA IS PERMITTING HONDA TO USE MY NYS RESIDENCY AS REASON TO EXCLUDE MY CAR FROM THE RECALL LIST. THE ASSERTION THAT CERTAIN CARS MAY BE MORE AT RISK FOR FAILURE BASED ON GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS MAY OR MAY NOT BE A RATIONAL BASIS FOR PRIORITIZING A SERVICE LIST. IT SHOULD NOT, HOWEVER, BE THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING WHICH CARS ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. BY APPROVING THIS PARTIAL RECALL LIST, NHTSA IS PROTECTING HONDA AND TAKATA. AS LONG AS MY CAR IS EXCLUDED, HONDA IS NOT LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE. HONDA WAS NOT REQUIRED TO NOTIFY ME OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER, AND I WAS UNAWARE BEFORE NOW OF THE RISK. HONDA ALSO AVOIDS PAYING THE COST OF ANY ACTION TAKEN TO MINIMIZE THE RISK, SUCH AS HAVING THE AIRBAGS DISABLED. NHTSA'S ACTIONS ARE SERVING THE INTERESTS OF HONDA RATHER THAT THE AMERICA PUBLIC. *TR

PAINT STARTED PEELING IN THE ROOF. CAR COLOR IS BLACK, SO THE PEELING LOOKS VISIBLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V353000 (AIR BAGS). HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 75 MPH. AND THE BRAKES RANDOMLY APPLIED THEM SELF CAUSING MY CAR TO GO FROM 75 TO 60 MPH ALMOST GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA THEY SAID "SCENE THEY CAN NOT GET THE CAR TO DO IT WHILE THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.' I HAVE DONE A TON OF RESEARCH ON HONDAS. FROM 2003 TO 2006 THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT BRAKE PROBLEMS AND RADIO PROBLEMS . THE RADIO IN MY CAR DOES NOT WORK RIGHT IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK RIGHT THE WANT ME TO BUY A NEW AUDIO PART. ALL OF THIS ON MY BUDGET. THE BRAKES ARE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND THE JUST BLOW IT OFF LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. I AM HOPING BY SHARING THIS WITH YOU GUYS SOMETHING WILL BE DONE TO HELP MAKE MY CAR AND OTHER SAFER ON THE ROADS.. *TR

DID NOT RECEIVE RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA . MY CURRENT ADDRESS ON FILE! INSURANCE COMPANY NOTIFIED ME OF RECALL. *TR

THIS INCIDENT IS CONCERNING MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX V6, VIN (GIVEN ABOVE) . I AM THE FIRST OWNER AND CAR HAS 85000 MILES ON IT. ON 21ST SEPTEMBER 2014 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY TODAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER TURNED ON .THE CAR JUST STOPPED ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE, WHICH WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND I'VE NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE, TIMING BELT, ETC. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, NO LEAKS, NO ENGINE ISSUES AND THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS SOME SORT OF DEFECT WITH THIS AUTOMOBILE WHICH NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MY SITUATION WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND HONDA NEEDS TO STEP-UP TO THE PLATE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM TIME AND TIME AGAIN WITH HONDA'S ESPECIALLY WITH 2005 ACCORD V6 TRANSMISSION FAILURES. ON FURTHER RESEARCH ON NHTSA WEBSITE, I FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 11V395000 ADDRESSING SIMILAR PROBLEM AND AS OF 23RD SEPTEMBER 2014, 1.5 MILLION (1512107) VEHICLES HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUE.THE HONDA RECALL NUMBER IS R89 AND THE RECALL WAS PLACED ON AUGUST 27TH 2011, FOR HONDA ACCORDS 2005-2010 FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK MY CAR TO, GROSSINGER HONDA, MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY FAILED ALTHOUGH FLUID LEVELS WERE NORMAL. DTC CODES WERE P0741, P0746, AND P0777. HONDA OPENED A CASE AND GAVE ME A CASE NO:N012014-09-22-02450. MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED FROM THIS RECALL AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR ISN'T ONE? I STRONGLY FEEL THAT MY CASE IS GENUINE AND WITH REFERENCE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 11V395000, MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS RECALL BY AMERICAN HONDA . *TR

DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS NOT A CHILD SAFETY LOCK ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER A REVIEW OF THE INTERNET. IN A CRASH OR FIRE PASSENGER WOULD HAVE TO CRAWL TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR OR THROUGH A WINDOW TO GET OUT. RESPONDERS WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. *TR

RADIO, INCLUDING CD, ON 2005 HONDA ACCORD WILL TURN ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO REASON WHILE CAR IS PARKED AND LOCKED WITH NO KEY IN IGNITION. IF RADIO VOLUME IS HIGH AND/OR CD WAS ON WHEN CAR WAS TURNED OFF, THIS WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY, ESPECIALLY IF THE CD PLAYER COMES ON. SEVERAL TIMES THIS KILLED THE BATTERY. WORKAROUND SOLUTION - MAKE SURE VOLUME IS AT ZERO AND RADIO IS OFF BEFORE PARKING CAR. *TR

PAINT ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS SIGNIFICANT PEELING AND IS LOSING ITS CLEAR COAT AROUND THE PEELING. *TR
