2004 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I PURCHASED BRIDGESTONE TIRES (4) APRIL 2009 - REPLACING THE SAME BRAND/TYPE. THEY STARTED OUT NOISY AND BECAME PROGRESSIVELY NOISY. THE PRIOR SET DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND IS FAR WORSE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE INCIDENT OCCURRING UPON PURCHASE. *TR

NOTICED LEAK ON GARAGE FLOOR, TOOK IT INTO HONDA DEALERSHIP, TOLD BY TECHNICIAN CARRIER BEARING IN TRANSMISSION IS VERY LOOSE CAUSING LEAK, LIKELY NEED TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, LOW MILEAGE 70,730. WONDER IF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED IN RECENT RECALL DATE OF 8-4-11 SINCE THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY, 2004. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS AUTOMATIC AND TAKES UP TO 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE WANTING TO ACCELERATE ONCE ITS PUT INTO DRIVE AND THEN SLIGHT KICK ONCE IT GETS INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO VIBRATE AT THE SPEED OF 55 AS WELL. THE VEHICLE KICKS ALSO WHEN IN DRIVE AND IT SWITCHES GEARS AROUND 30 MPH. *TT

MY TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED IN 2004 HOWEVER THE "FIX" WAS TO INSTALL AN OIL JET KIT AND EXTRA LUBRICATION TO THE GEARS. THE TRANSMISSION STILL FAILED AT ONLY 65K MILES. HONDA NOW REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. HONDA KNOWINGLY PUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AT RISK BY NOT REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AND I BECOME STUCK GOING UP A HILL AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THE SRS WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:07V001000 ( AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,264.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE - STARTED AS A VIBRATION AROUND 60 TO 65 MPH. DEALER ASSESSED AND INDICATED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT ONLY 78000 MILES. *TR

I OWN A 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX COUPE V6 ENGINE...AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AT 79,000K MILES. A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED AS I WAS TRYING TO GO UP A HILL AND THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO GO FORWARD ANYMORE ALTHOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE AND I WAS PRESSING THE GAS...IT KEPT ROLLING BACKWARDS AS IF IT WAS IN REVERSE, AND I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION!!!! THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS YEAR'S VEHICLE...I WANT TO JOIN THE OTHER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT THEIR TO REPORT THIS AS A SAFETY PROBLEM, IT COULD'VE COST ME MY LIFE AN ANYBODY THAT WAS BEHIND ME! *TR

I HAVE A 2004 V6 ACCORD WITH 110,000 MILES AND HAD A PREVIOUS THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR REPLACED A YEAR AGO B/C THE TRANNY DID NOT SHIFT DOWN INTO LOWER GEAR INTERMITTENTLY ON HIGHWAY. NOW I HAVE THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM, WHERE TRANNY DOESN'T SHIFT UP INTO OVERDRIVE. SO THERE IS ANOTHER SENSOR PROBLEM. TURNING OFF/ON THE CAR RESETS IT. BUT LOCAL MECHANIC SAID TEST DRIVE SHOWED JERKINESS FROM 1 TO 2ND GEAR, AND I'VE ALWAYS NOTICED/IGNORED A JUDDER FROM HIGH GEAR TO LOW GEAR, E.G., SLOWING DOWN AT OFF RAMP. AND HE SAID THE TRANNY FLUID LOOKED BURNT. AND THERE IS AN EMISSIONS CONTROLLER FAULT AND LEAK TOO. THE RECALL FOR 2004 TRANSMISSIONS DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN...AND READING THE NYT BLOG FROM JAN 2011, SUGGESTS IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN A GOOD RECALL FIX ANYWAY. BUT IN MY CALL TO DEALER SERVICE DEPT AND TO HONDA N.AMERICA, THEY CAME ACROSS VERY DEFENSIVE PEOPLE ON PHONE. CAN'T SEE BUYING ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE TRANSMISSION APPEARED TO SLIP OR SKIP SINCE THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,100.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V001000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.
