I TOOK MY HONDA IN FOR A POWER STEERING RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED AND ASKED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THE REASON WHY THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THERE WERE TWO FAULT CODES ONE BEING THE DRIVER SEATBELT BUCKLE AND THE OTHER BEING THE DRIVERS SEAT POSITION SENSOR. I KNOW THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE DRIVER SEAT POSITION SENSOR BUT THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO FIX THIS SENSOR I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR THE PART. I CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE PART SINCE MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A VIN AFFECTED BY THE DRIVER SEAT POSITION SENSOR RECALL. I FIND THIS ODD THAT MY VEHICLE IS OF A MAKE MODEL AND YEAR WITH A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART BUT YET IT IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER TO SEE IF THERE ARE MORE MODELS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE DRIVERS SEAT POSITION SENSOR FOR THE AIR BAG. *TT

AIR BAG FAULTY LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A MASSIVE 2005 ACCORD AIRBAG MODULE RECALL BASED ON THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION 07V001000. THE 2005 ACCORD HYBRID IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THERE SEEMS TO HAVE QUITE A FEW 2005 HYBRID OWNERS HAD ALREADY FILE THE SIMILAR COMPLAINT. (UNDER THE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT SECTION) AIRBAG MALFUNCTION IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM BEHAVIOR IS RANDOM AND MAJORITY OF THE CUSTOMER MAY SEES IT AS "GLITCH" SINCE IT MAY GO AWAY BY TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF AGAIN. *TR

I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS CAUSED A RECALL FOR V6 MODEL OF THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE OF MY HONDA ACCORD. THE POWER STEERING HOSE LEAKS ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND SMOKE STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I JUST WANT TO REPORT THE SAME ISSUE FOR 2.4 L (V4 MODEL) THAT WAS REPORTED FOR V6 MODELS. *TR

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITH CAR GOING OUT OF CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR FAILING TO SLOW DOWN AFTER PRESSING ON THE BRAKE. MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. *TR

CAR DETAILS: - 05 ACCORD SE COUPE WITH ~65K MILES (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, 4 CYLINDER) RECENTLY, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN I KEEP PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. TYPICALLY HAPPENS AT AROUND 50 TO 60 MPH MARKER (THE MPH NEEDLE WILL JUST STALL AT ONE LOCATION AND NOT MOVE). I HAVE TO TAP THE BRAKE LIGHTLY A COUPLE OF TIMES OR LET THE CAR COAST DOWN WITHOUT GIVING IT ANY GAS (IT KIND OF RELEASES WHATEVER IS HOLDING THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING AND RELEASES THE MPH NEEDLE). I THEN ACCELERATE THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WILL GO HIGHER THAN 60 MPH. KEEPS HAPPENING OFTEN (NOT EVERY TIME THOUGH). MY GAS MILEAGE IS LOWER WHICH CONFIRMS THAT SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ON HIGHWAYS. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO ALL THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ISSUES THAT HONDA ACCORDS CONTINUE TO SEE ON MODELS MANUFACTURED IN THE MID 2000S. *TR

HONDA ACCORD 2005 SEEMS LIKE HAS FAULTY MECHANICAL ON THE BRAKE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE DOWNWARD THE HILL AND MY BRAKE DID NOT STOP. I WAS SUSPICIOUS NOW THAT MY CAR HAS FAULTY MECHANICAL BRAKE BECAUSE ABOUT LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO WHERE MY CAR HAS PROBLEM DID NOT BRAKE PROPERLY ON THE FREEWAY. THEN, I REPLACED MY BRAKE LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO AT HONDA DEALER. THE LAST TIME MY CAR MAINTENANCE WAS APRIL 2013 AND THEY STATED THE BRAKES ARE STILL GOOD. *TR

OUR HONDA ACCORD WAS CROSSING A 4-LANE STREET FROM A STOP SIGN. A CAR COMING FROM THE RIGHT STRUCK THE PASSENGER SIDE OF OUR HONDA, CAUSING THE SIDE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. HOWEVER, THE SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE, CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO RECEIVE BRUISES AND ABRASIONS. NOTE: ALTHOUGH THIS HONDA ACCORD WAS A 2005, IT HAD LOW MILEAGE (30,000) AND WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. THE INSURANCE CO. TOTALED THE CAR. *TR
