2004 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. BOUGHT VEHICLE USED IN FEB. 2014 FROM DEALER WITH 97,570MI. AT 104,000, TRANSMISSION FAILED. REPAIRS CAN RANGE FROM $4500 TO $3400, WITH EITHER A HONDA REBUILT TRANSMISSION OR MY OWN BEING REBUILT. SINCE HONDA WAS AWARE OF THESE FAILURES (HAD A RECALL BEFORE I WAS AN OWNER) AND THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE CAR WAS LIKELY ALSO AWARE, I FIND THESE PRACTICES TOTALLY DISHONEST AND BORDERING ON ILLEGAL. I PAID ALMOST $10,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF LOW MILEAGE, ONLY TO HAVE A MAJOR FAILURE 8 MONTHS LATER. *TR

HI, THE HONDA KNOCK SENSOR HARNESS WIRE IS MADE WITH LOW-GRADE MATERIAL, WHICH IS GETTING SNAPPED OR CUT DUE TO ENGINE HEAT OR ATTRACTING VERMIN AS PER BLOGS DIRVEACCORD.NET, ODYCLUB.COM AS BEING SOYA BASED. THE PART NUMBER FOR ACCORD V6: P/N 30531-RCA-A00 H/C 7134133 OR ODYSSEY, PILOT: P/N 30531-P8F-A00 H/C 5878327. THIS WIRE COST IS $5-$6 BUT IT TAKES ABOUT $600 TO $700 TO REPLACE IN LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH ENGINE MALFUNCTION HAPPENING WITH P0325 CODE WHICH INDICATES KNOCK SENSOR MALFUNCTION. THE SENSOR FAILING SUDDENLY WITH OUT WARNING IS CAUSING UNTOLD HARD SHIPS TO ALL THE HONDA OWNERS AND ITS NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE AND OVER HEATING. SO I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE AND REQUEST HONDA TO ISSUE AN RECALL OF THIS SMALL 3INCH WIRE AND AVOID HEADACHES TO THE COMMON PEOPLE. I ALSO SEE LOT OF PEOPLE WITH ACURA, HONDA ACCORD,ODY HAVE REPORTED WITH HONDA OF THIS PROBLEM FROM YEAR 2004 AND FIND BELOW IS A COPY OF THE LETTER FROM A BLOG.

I HAD TRANS FLUID CHANGED IMMEDIATELY,APPROX 30 DAYS LATER CHECKED FLUID SMELLED BURNT AND AGAIN METAL SHAVING WERE PRESENT.AND CHANGE EVERY 3 MONTHS ,SO NO ISSUES WOULD ARISE.AFTER APPROX 11MONTHS WE RECEIVED A "RECALL NOTICE FOR THE POWER STEERING HOSE.WHICH WAS REPLACED.UPON THAT RECALL WE LOOKED INTO ALL RECALLS ON THE CAR TO INSURE SAFETY OF THE FAMILY.THE CAR SEEMED FINE THEN STARTED "STOPPING REAL FAST,AT ANY SPEED" TOOK TO HONDA DEALER THEY ADVISED US IT WOULD BE $5000 TO REPAIR.UPON INVESTIGATING MORE WE REALIZED THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR THE TRANSMISSION (#04V176000) ADVISED HONDA DEALER ,THEY STATED THE MILEAGE WAS WELL OVER 15,000 MI,AND A TRANS FLUID COOLER WAS ADDED TO SATISFY THE RECALL,BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE OWNER AT THAT TIME "DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE".

DEFECTIVE BODY PAINT (BLACK). CLEAR COAT/PAINT PEELING. LOCAL HONDA'S DEALER HAVE MADE SEVERAL EXCUSES OVER THE YEARS. I JUST FOUND OUT LAST YEAR FROM ANOTHER OWNER THAT HAS THE SAME MODEL/COLOR. LOCAL DEALER AND HONDA'S CORPORATE OFFICE WILL NOT RESOLVE ISSUE. ONLY CIVIC NOT ACCORD MODELS ARE BEING REPAINTED FOR FREE. *TR

THIS ACCORD IS EQUIPPED WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS. HONDA HAD RECALLED VEHICLES BUT ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE NATION-WIDE. WHAT IS NHTSA GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS? [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE CLEARCOAT PAINT IS BEGINNING TO PEAL ON THE HOOD, ROOF AND TRUNK. COLOR OF VEHICLE IS BLACK. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND GARAGED. I'VE NOTICED MANY OTHER HONDA VEHICLES WITH THE SAME CONDITION. IN ADDITION, THE ABS BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAS GONE ON AND WE'VE BEEN TOLD BY HONDA THAT THE CAR NEEDS THE ABS MODULE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,200. WE HAVE NOT MADE THIS REPAIR DUE TO THE COST AND AGE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
