2005 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE DRIVER EXITED THE PARKED VEHICLE, IT LOCKED ITSELF INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS UNLOCKED AT THE SERVICE OF A LOCKSMITH HOWEVER, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DID NOT UNLOCK. THE CONTACT CALLED THE FISHER HONDA ACURA DEALER (303-245-6416, LOCATED AT 6025 ARAPAHOE RD, BOULDER, CO 80303) AND WAS ADVISED TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE AUTO CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS INSTEAD TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO BREAK THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS COMING ON AND WE FEEL IT IS DEFECTIVE OR RELATED TO THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY WENT INTO A DOWN SHIFT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED. RECALL # R89

TAKATA RECALL: I PURCHASED FROM INDIVIDUAL KNOWING IT WAS A SALVAGE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, DID NOT KNOW THE AIR BAGS HAD BEEN REMOVED. WHILE IT IS COVERED BY RECENT RECALL HONDA AMERICA WILL NOT AUTHORIZE REPAIR DUE TO MISSING PARTS. UNSAFE CONDITION!

WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE ROOF LINEAR FABRIC CAME OUT BLOCKING HER VISIBILITY FROM THE REAR. SHE COULD NOT SEE DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE AND WITH THE BABY IN THE BACK SHE PANICKED AND PULLED OVER. HALF OF THE ROOF LINEAR CAME DOWN BLOCKING VISIBILITY TO THE REAR AND TO THE SIDES.

I STARTED TO NOTICE THIS ISSUE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT USED FROM A PRIVATE PARTY. DURING THE WINTER TIME WHEN IT WAS PARTICULARLY COLD OUTSIDE, I NOTICED THAT MY POWER BRAKES WOULD START WORKING WHEN I FIRST START UP THE CAR. EVENTUALLY, I WOULD DISCOVER THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHECK VALVE WAS STICKING AND PREVENTING THE POWER BRAKES FROM BEING ACTIVE WHEN STARTING A VEHICLE IN THE COLD WEATHER. IT WAS VERY CONFUSING AT FIRST BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE STORED POWER BRAKES IN THE VACUUM BOOSTER FROM THE DAY BEFORE THAT WOULD BE USED UP WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT. HOWEVER, AS I WAS MOVING FORWARD AND SUBSEQUENTLY WANTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES, I FOUND THAT THE POWER BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND WOULD NOT GO DOWN AND I HAD TO JAM ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN. HOWEVER, ONCE THE CAR ENGINE HAD BEEN ON FOR A WHILE, I WOULD HEAR A CLICK NOISE (PROBABLY THE CHECK VALVE UNSTICKING) AND THEN POWER BRAKES WERE RESTORED FOR THE REST OF THE COMMUTE. I EVENTUALLY HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM HOSE REPLACED (WHICH ALSO CONTAINED THE CHECK VALVE) AND NO LONGER HAD THIS ISSUE. THE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE HOSE CONFIRMED THAT THE CHECK VALVE WAS FAULTY BECAUSE THE OLD HOSE WOULD NOT ALLOW AIR THROUGH WHEN THEY TRIED TO BLOW THROUGH IT FROM EITHER DIRECTION.
