2004 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

SIDE WALL SEPARATION ON GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A P225/50R17 93V RADIAL TUBLESS 0729 DOT M6YA CMER 3806 #T315763 #T313851 #T315764 GCW74M17MB. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED AND FELT LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTED AND THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SLOWED FROM 65 MPH TO 30MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT A CAR DIRECTLY BEHIND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. IF THERE HAD BEEN SOMEONE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME THEN THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WHO WAS ON THE ROAD WITH ME. *TR

MERGING ONTO CT RT 8 SOUTH, I ACCELERATED USING PASSING GEAR. UNABLE TO DISENGAGE THE THROTTLE, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. SINCE I THEN HAD NO POWER STEERING NOR POWER BRAKES, IT TOOK ALMOST 3 MILES TO STOP. I REACHED SPEEDS OF 85-90 AND HAD TO WEAVE IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC UNTIL I COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER AND EVENTUALLY STOP. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE WRAPPED AROUND THE THROTTLE CABLE THUS STICKING IT. I AM HAVING THE CAR COMPLETELY CHECKED: BRAKES, TRANSMISSION, ACCELERATOR, ETC. THIS WAS A TOYOTA MOMENT THAT LUCKILY ENDED WITH NO ACCIDENTS NOR DEATHS.

MY 2004 ACCORD V6, 117K MILES...TRANSMISSION SLIPPED ON THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND BY SATURDAY THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. CAR REVVED WITH NO ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT 50 MPH, WAS ON A HIGHWAY RAMP WITH TRAFFIC ALL AROUND ME, VERY DANGEROUS. IT CONTINUED TO SPUTTER AND SLIP, THEN WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE ONCE PARKED. I JUST CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THIS PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU READ ON THE INTERNET." THIS IS MY SECOND, BUT LAST HONDA. I BOUGHT HONDAS BECAUSE OF THEIR SUPPOSED RELIABILITY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND HONDA SHOULD MAKE CONCESSIONS AND OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE WILL END UP DEAD BEFORE THIS IS OVER IF THEY DON'T MAKE THIS PUBLIC. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMING ON. ONE MINUTE THE CAR IS FINE, THE NEXT YOU ARE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

WHEN STARTING, MY 2004 ACCORD, A GREEN D LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE CAR BEGAN TO DRIVE VERY ROUGHLY AND WITHOUT POWER. IT WAS THEN THAT I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL ON CERTAIN CARS OF THAT YEAR, FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, HOWEVER, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SO THE HONDA DEALER SAID IN ESSENCE TOO BAD THAT DOESN'T EFFECT YOUR CAR BECAUSE YOUR VIN WASN'T INCLUDED! NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION IN A CAR WITH ONLY 77,000 MILES! *TR
