MY CAR IS A NEW HONDA ACCORD 2004. IT HAS 62,000 MILES, HONDA IS HAVING A RECALL ON 2004 ACCORDS. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR IS NOT ON THE LIST, BUT TO MY ASTONISHMENT I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. MY HONDA DEALER REFUSED TO HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY $4,800.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. MY CAR WAS SERVICED ON JAN 4TH 2008 AND I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. I'M SHOCKED AND DISAPPOINTED THAT A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

DRIVERS SIDE, SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING 45 ON A RURAL ROAD. SLIGHT BRUISING ON MY ARM AND EAR RINGING OCCURRED ALONG WITH SOME STRESS ADDED TO 3 YEAR OLD AND WIFE WITH CONCERNS ABOUT FUTURE AND RANDOM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW HONDA ACCORD LX IN MAY OF 2004. AS THE BRAKES WORE DOWN THEY BEGAN TO HAVE A SURGE TYPE OF PROBLEM AND MAKE A GRINDING NOISE ONCE IN A WHILE. WHEN I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS I FOUND THAT ONE OF THE PADS WAS CLOSE TO BEING WORN OUT ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROTOR AND THE OTHER WAS LIKE NEW, ON BOTH LEFT AND FRONT ROTORS. AFTER I REPLACED THEM, EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE UNTIL AFTER THEY HAD WORN ABOUT 25,000 MILES. NOW THEY HAVE ABOUT 45,00 MILES ON THEM. NOW THEY ARE DOING IT AGAIN EXCEPT THE SURGE PROBLEM IS MUCH WORSE THIS TIME AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY SOMETIMES IF I PUT THE BRAKES ON HARD. SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE MINOR AND SOMETIMES IT IS REALLY BAD. I ASK THE HONDA PEOPLE ABOUT IT AND THEY WANT MONEY TO PUT IT ON THE RACK TO LOOK AT IT; SOMETHING I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF. HOPE THIS WILL BE OF HELP TO SOMEONE ELSE. *TR
