2004 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

Please note that my 2004 honda accord ex is been having issues with navigation system turning off by itself as we are driving, we purchased the last update cd orange 2014 and caused the car to do that. the screen goes blanc and controls air system as well as radio and navigation operations, honda was contacted in the past and technician stated to wait for honda for a possible repair or update for software that they were looking for a solution but it has not happened. the air control is an important issue since the car will fog out windows as driving in cold weather and been unable to defog due to lack of access to screen controls is dangerous. To better explain the clock display time can not be changed either and it was explained to me to be controlled by gps system but since software is not recognized or updated those issues can not be corrected. Please assist with these issues with gps-navigation system, it is an issue with software honda related as I have been explained but can not be corrected with out further assistance from honda. Thank you

I Was hit extremely hard by a semi truck on the driver side of my car when the semi was making a small right turn in the middle lane on Race Street my little car became wedged almost underneath the shield and roof slightly began to get crushed but the AIRBAGS never deployed,when I heard the cracking of the shield i looked back at my children who are and still to this day are terrified! the back tires of the semi is staring them in the face I immediately squeezed out of my seat belt it wouldn't unlock at this point my car is being pulled back and forth from the driver of the semi keeps trying to widening his turn while I'm blowing the crap out of the my horn he still doesn't realize he hit me yet, maybe because his dog is all over the passenger side from him jerking the semi back and forth I grabbed my children and jumped out I was literally stuck between a traffic poll and a nightmare just glad to be Alive (((((AIRBAGS))))never deployed always had problems with this car the water pump the door locks,heater wouldn't shut off,only had the vehicle for a few months to say the least and it broke down a few weeks after purchasing it when I tried reaching the dealership who sold me the car I could never could get an answer

The passenger seat air bag light comes on and off intermittently, when no one is sitting in the seat! Specific recall; ID 07V001000. There are several recalls listed for airbags, but it said my car is not affected; however obviously it is!

Transmission seems to disengage after 20 minutes of driving and the worse bthong about it is it does it on the highway causing me to pull over shit the car off and wait 5 minutes start it back up put it in the gear and sometimes it doesn't go in the gear it won't go into reverse we'll go in the drive we'll go in the drive 3 won't go in the drive to or one and then I got to shut it off and wait again then I do it all over again and then I'll get driving again and after about 3 minutes 4 minutes it'll do it again and I have to pull over why is it doing this it does it when I'm stopped at a stoplight and when the light turns green I drive and I'll get stuck in the middle of an intersection it'll be in drive but the engine just continues to rev and nothing happens it's scary it's on safe this needs to be a recall this needs to be fixed by Honda s*** it should be obvious that somebody could get killed

DRIVER SEATBELT DOES NOT BUCKLE, PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION WITH BRAKE LIGHT ON, AIR BAG LIGHT ON.

FRONT RIGHT SUSPENSION FAILURE RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING INPUT. THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE SUSPENSION AND WAS AT 90 DEGREES WHILE MOVING FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION , THE EVENT OCCURRED RIGHT AFTER A U TURN.

ON OCTOBER 25, 2020, THE BOLT HOLDING THE DRIVERS SEATBELT UNSCREWED ITSELF DURING NORMAL USE, STRIPPED THE BOLT THREADS, AND FAILED. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN IN A POSITION TO FAIL FOR MANY MILES. IF AN ACCIDENT HAD OCCURRED, THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT HAVE WORKED. THE SEATBELT COMPONENTS ARE MANDATED UNDER 49 CFR 571.209. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE SEATBELT BUCKLE BOLT. I HAVE A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING IN THE FUTURE, HOWEVER, I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT THE TECHNICALITIES. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SPEAK WITH AN ENGINEER ABOUT THIS. THE HONDA DEALER AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REP WERE WORTHLESS. THEY REFUSED TO SELL ME A REPLACEMENT PART UNLESS I SIGNED A LIABILITY WAIVER. I OF COURSE REFUSED, BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE LIABILITY. I GUESS THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT WHEN I TOLD THEM THEY HAD A LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE THE PART AND THAT I DIRECTED THEM TO PICK UP THE PHONE, CALL THE PRODUCTION PLANT, AND HAVE THE PERSON SITTING NEXT TO THE BUCKET OF BOLTS SEND ME A REPLACEMENT BOLT...SO I COULD INSTALL IT MYSELF. I PURCHASED A 7/16-20 UNF BOLT THROUGH MCMASTER CARR AND HAD TO TURN A NEW SHOULDER ON A LATHE. IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS THE PROPER SHOULDER BOLT, BUT IT IS SAFE RIGHT NOW. ARE THERE ANY AVENUES THROUGH NHTSA THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO HONDA, AND TO GET A PROPER REPLACEMENT BOLT? IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IS LIKELY TO MANIFEST DURING A TRAFFIC CRASH.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD HAS STAYED ON ALL OF THE TIME SINCE 2008. NOT SURE OF EXACT DATE. AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF ON OCCASION BUT MOST OF THE TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I'VE NEVER GOT A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS ISSUE. I'VE CHECKED MY VIN WHEN THERE'S A RECALL ON AIRBAGS FOR MY YEAR 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX AND IT NEVER SHOWS THAT MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX HAS A RECALL ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS. MY AIRBAG COMES ON WHEN I START UP THE VEHICLE, SITTING STILL OR DRIVING ON THE ROADWAY. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING THE SHOULDER SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL LOCK UP ON ME CONSTANTLY. I'M AFRAID THE SHOULDER BELTS GOING TO LOCK UP ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I'M BEING HELD TIGHT AGAINST THE SEAT BELT.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT 60 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL, IT SUDDENLY STARTED INCREASING SPEED. THEN I NOTICED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR OF MY CAR. THEN I BEGAN TO USE THE BRAKES TO TRY AND CONTROL THE SPEED, BUT THEY DID NOT FUNCTION WELL AT ALL. FINALLY AFTER STRUGGLING IN ON THIS RURAL ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW IT DOWN, I CALLED 911, THEN I JUST USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC IF HAD NOT BEEN IN A RURAL AREA WITH VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC. UP TO THAT POINT, THIS CAR HAD BEEN IN EXCELLENT CONDITION LOW MAINTENANCE AND REALLY GOOD CAR, BUT THAT DAY IT WAS SMOKING AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD CATCH FIRE. LASTLY, THE REPAIRS COST $696 WHICH IS MUCH MORE THAN I HAD EVER PAID FOR THIS CAR

SRS LIGHT COMES ON AND SEAT BELT BUCKLE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED AND STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO COME OFF TO FIGURE OUT WHY LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER 2004 HONDA ACCORDS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I'M TOLD MY AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY UNTIL IT IS FIXED.
