AT 12K REPORTED A BRAKE PROBLEM. DEALER COULD NOT IDENTIFY CAUSE AND TURNED ROTORS FRONT AND REAR AND REPLACED THE PADS. AT APPROXIMATELY 24K, SAME ISSUE AGAIN.

IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT THE CAR HAS HAD A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM SINCE NEW AND HONDA THROUGH IT'S DEALER HAS NOT TAKEN THE PROPER STEPS TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AND CORRECT IT, RATHER PERFORMED A BANDAID FIX AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AT THIS TIME AND HAS BEEN SINCE NEW. *TR

BECAUSE OF THE GREAT REPUTATION OF HONDA VEHICLES, I AND MY HUSBAND DECIDED TO BUY A HONDA ACCORD EX CAR 2005 TWO YEARS AGO. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL LAST TUESDAY, WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK TO HOME WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED SUDDENLY, AFTER ABOUT TWO MINUTES I TURN IT ON AND IT SEEMED FINE WHILE I WAS DRIVING FOR LESS THAN A MILE TO GET HOME. TWO HOURS LATER ON I AND MY HUSBAND WERE GETTING OFF HE TOOK THE KEYS TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I DID NOT TELL HIM ABOUT THE INCIDENT I SIMPLY TOTALLY FORGOT BECAUSE I DID THINK IT WAS A PROBLEM AND I DID NOT EXPECT TO BE A PROBLEM, SO WE GOT OFF WE GOT IN THE CAR HE TRIED START THE CAR AND IT JERKED HARD AND IT WONT START HE TRIED AGAIN AND WE DROVE IT BUT THE CAR WAS CRANKING AND IT JERKED HARD AND SLOWED DOWN AND IT STOPPED AND IT DID THE SAME THING HE WAS DECREASING THE SPEED. OUR CAR IS 74,000 MILES WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AT HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING A WAY HE NEVER SEEN BEFORE HE CHECKED AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THAT PROBLEM SO TO WE NEED TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE THE AXLES AS WELL WHICH IS GOING TO COST US AROUND 4000 DOLLARS I DON'T THINK THIS IS FAIR I BELIEVE IN MY HEARTH IT'S A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL I DID A LOT RESEARCHES AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE DO YOUR INVESTIGATION WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THE CAR WE DID NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG TO THIS CAR BUT DRIVING IT TO WORK AND KEEP IT MAINTENANCE TILL IT START TO ACT UP WE ARE LEASING A CAR NOW TO GO TO WORK TO PRODUCT PLEASE HELP US. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE IN MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX , DRIVING 68 MILES AN HOUR AND SUDDENLY THE CAR COMPLETED WIGGED OUT, THE RPM'S REVVED UP IN THE RED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEED. IT WAS SUDDEN AND SUPER DANGEROUS CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCE. I CALLED HONDA CARE AND ARRANGED TO BE BROUGHT TO HONDA, THEY INFORMED ME I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. THAT IT WAS INTERNAL. THANK GOD I SERVICE AND MAY GOD BE WITH HONDA OWNERS TO PROTECT THEM FROM THIS INTERNAL ISSUE. *TR

AUTO TRANS MAKING NOISE, AT 127KMI THE SPEEDO,ODO STOPPED WORKING - CAUSING SEVERE JOLT/DECELERATION WHILE DRIVING. ALL WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON TCS/ENGINE/TRANNY/POWER STEERING. AUTO WENT IN FOR SERVICE, DETERMINED NEEDED NEW TRANSMISSION AT COST OF $4000. MOTOR MOUNT ALSO FOUND BROKEN. AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS TO AMERICAN HONDA - WAS TOLD THAT 127K WAS A RESPECTABLE MILEAGE PRIOR TO TRANNY FAILURE AND THERE WOULD BE NO GOOD WILL ASSISTANCE OF REPAIR COSTS! THIS CAR HAD LONG HISTORY OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS DUE TO FAULTY ENGINE MGMT S/W WHICH WAS RESOLVED IN LATE 2007. ALSO REPORTED TO DEALER TRANNY LIGHT AT 26K MILES BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG. 3K MILES AFTER REPLACEMENT I FIND THE GAS MILEAGE HAS INCREASED BY OVER 3MPG WHICH MAKES ME WONDER IF THE ORIG TRANNY WAS PROBLEMATIC SINCE PURCHASE OF CAR? *TR

STARTING AT AROUND 70K MILES, THE RADIO DISPLAY BACKLIGHT DOES NOT LIGHT UP INTERMITTENTLY. ALTHOUGH THE RADIO AND CONTROLS WORK, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO VIEW THE TIME, RADIO VOLUME, OR STATION NUMBER WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF AN INDEPENDENT LIGHT SOURCE SUCH AS THE OVERHEAD LIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THE 2003-2004 MODEL YEAR. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 2005 MODEL YEAR AS WELL BECAUSE THERE IS NO MAJOR DIFFERENCE IN AUDIO UNIT DESIGN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD 2005 EX TO WORK TODAY FROM BURKE TO FT BELVOIR, VA, AND 25 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE, THE CAR STALLED ON FAIRFAX COUNTY IN THE PASSING LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, EACH ABOUT 3 WEEKS APART. WHEN THE CAR STALLS, THE IGNITION IMMOBILIZER SWITCH LIGHT IMMEDIATELY FLASHES. I HAVE TO STOP THE MOVING CAR, AND RESTART IT, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I CALLED HONDA, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS SYMPTOM. THE SYMPTOMS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT IS REFERENCED ON THIS WEBSITE. HTTP://WWW.VISUALIMPRESSIONS.CA/SWITCH/. *TR
