COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS FAILED. THE ONLY CAR MANUFACTURER THAT HAS A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH THIS IS HONDA. HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS.

THE DOOR ACTUATORS ARE NOT WORKING, ITS THE 2 LEFT SIDE ONLY WORK ON COLD DAYS. NOW, DON'T USE THE BACK DOORS AND MOSTLY USE THE DRIVERS SIDE. *TR

THE BACK LIGHT WHERE THE RADIO IS KEEPS COMING IN AND OUT. THE RADIO WOULD WORK, AND THEN NOT WORK. I CAN BE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SONG AND IT WILL GO OFF. I CAN ALSO BE SILENT AND IT GO ON. THE LIGHT WITH NO LETTERS WOULD STAY ON THE WHOLE TIME. WHEN I WANTED THE RADIO TO SOUND I WOULD HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND CONNECT IT BACK UP. AT THIS POINT I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE RADIO. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE 2005 RADIO, BUT THERE IS FOR THE 2003-2004. IF ITS THE SAME RADIO AND PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE A RADIO THAT SHOULD WORK, THEN WHY IS THERE NO RECALL. I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF A 2005 HONDA ACCORD THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO. I REPLACED THE FUSE THINKING IT WAS THIS. IT WORKS FOR A WHILE AND THEN I REALIZED THAT THE FUSES WHERE NO BLOWN. PLEASE HAVE THIS AS A RECALL AND THE PEOPLE AT HONDA ARE NOT VERY HELPFUL EVEN WHEN THEY ADMIT TO HAVING OTHER OWNERS COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE #2 SPARK PLUG SHOT OUT OF THE ENGINE THRU THE IGNITION COIL, STRIPPED THE THREADS OF THE CYLINDER, HIT THE FIREWALL, AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER IMMEDIATELY WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. REPAIR COSTS QUOTED BY DEALER WERE $6200 TO REPLACE CYLINDER OR $4650 PLUS $700 MACHINING COSTS TO REPAIR. IN READING THE BLOGS OF OTHERS, THIS DEFECT IS RELATED TO THE V6 VTEC ENGINES AND ALWAYS INVOLVES THE FIRST OR SECOND CYLINDER ONLY. IN ONE CASE THE HONDA MANUFACTURER AGREED TO SHARE THE REPAIR COST. *TR

AFTER GETTING THE HONDA ACCORD STEERING HOSE REPLACED DUE TO OVERHEATING, I BEGIN TO HEAR NOISES AND HAVE STEERING ISSUES. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PION STEERING AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I BELIEVE THAT DUE TO THE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS THE CAUSE TO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS TO THE STEERING. *TR

DRIVING TO WORK IN SOMEWHAT HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN I APPROACHED A SLIGHT INCLINE. THE ENGINE BEGAN RACING TO REDLINE AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD AGAIN. I WAS VERY NEARLY REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME AS THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND PULLED TO THE SHOULDER, AND SUDDENLY THE GEAR ENGAGED AGAIN AND I WAS ON MY WAY. WHILE SLOWING DOWN FURTHER ON IN MY DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN PULSING AND SURGING AS I SLOWED NEARLY CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. I BACKED OFF FROM THE TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST TO WORK WHEN I APPROACHED ANOTHER HILL. THIS TIME THE ENGINE AGAIN RACED TO REDLINE AND I PULLED TO SHOULDER AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN. I WAITED A MINUTE AND RESTARTED AND THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE FINE AGAIN. I DROVE THE HALF MILE TO WORK AND IMMEDIATELY SETUP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALER BY KEEPING THE DRIVE SELECT IN 3RD AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A FAILED 2ND GEAR LEAVING ME TO FOOT THE BILL FOR A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION AT OVER $5000. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY WIFE AND I AS THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED AND HOPEFUL THAT HONDA WILL HELP TO COVER PART OF THE REPAIR. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR WHEN IT LOST POWER AND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD WITH 75K ON THE ODOMETER. *TR
