2004 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL: I HAVE CALLED LOCAL GANLEY HONDA IN NORTH OLMSTED, OHIO THREE TIMES, LEAVING MESSAGES TWICE, ASKING IF THE AIR BAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I LEFT VOICE MAIL WHEN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS BUSY. NO ONE HAS CALLED BACK.

WHILE DRIVING ON 787 IN ALBANY N.Y. MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD LOCKED UP IN THE FRONT END AND SEEMED TO SLAM BACK INTO DRIVE I HAD ALL OF MY CHILDREN AND MY HUSBAND IN THE CAR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WE ALL WERE JERKED FORWARD DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOCK UP WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT HOME AND REALIZED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS POURING OUT WE INSPECTED OURSELVES AND TOOK THE TRANSMISSION PAN OFF TO FIND WHAT APPEARED TO BE THICK METAL CHUNKS/GEARS INSIDE MY TRANSMISSION PAN AND NOW WILL NOT HOLD FLUID. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT BUT THIS COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN DEADLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFT FAILED AND SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN). THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A STATIONARY VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT THAT THE AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPING VERY BAD ALMOST CAUSE REAR END COLLISION. NOW SLIPS IN ALL GEARS. ALL MAINTENANCE WORK DONE AS REQUIRED BUT APPEARS TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF VERY WELL AND NOW HAS 150K, BUT STILL THIS IS A SHOCK TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO HONDA AND I SEE ALL OVER THE INTERNET HONDA TRANSMISSION ISSUES

WHEN IN MOTION, THE STEERING WHEEL RANDOMLY LOCKS WHEN TURNING. WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK AND THE VEHICLE WILL KEEP STRAIGHT AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL HAS NOT BEEN TURNED AT ALL. IT HAS ALSO LOCKED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE FROM A PARKING SPOT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BACK OUT. I HAD TO SWITCH BACK AND FORTH FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK WITH MINIMAL SLACK ALLOWING ME TO BARELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION TO SUCCESSFULLY BACK OUT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE POWER STEERING BELT THINKING THAT IT WAS SLIPPING WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THE ISSUE STILL CONTINUES. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK AGAIN FOR FURTHER EVALUATION AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON A PIN PART OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS DEEPLY CONCERNS ME BECAUSE I HAVE AN INFANT CHILD AND MY VEHICLE IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR HIM BECAUSE MY HUSBAND HAS A SINGLE CAB TRUCK. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS RANDOMLY IT PUTS OUR LIVES IN JEOPARDY, ESPECIALLY WITH ONGOING DAILY TRAFFIC AND NEVER KNOWING WHEN TO EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEARS FAILED TO SHIFT PROPERLY FROM PARK INTO THE OTHER GEARS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCLARTY HONDA (10 COLONEL GLENN CT, LITTLE ROCK, AR 72210, (501) 227-7000) TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

ABS/TCS MODULE FAILING CAUSING TRANSMISSION NO TO GO INTO GEAR OR JUMP AROUND GEARS AND HARD SHIFTS AND ACTS LIKE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ALL WITH OUT GIVING ANY CODES ONLY CODE I HAVE IS 84-1 CAR WILL START AND DRIVE ANYWERE FINE FOR ABOUT 15 TO 30 MINS THEN STARTS ACTING UP LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING, WITH HELP OF HONDA MECHANIC AND OTHER ACCORD OWNERS SAVING ME FROM BUYING AN NEW 1300 TRANSMISSION I HAVE FOUND ABS/TCS MODULE FAILURE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT STOPPED ABRUPTLY. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED SOME INJURIES THAT LATER REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE MY DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS YET I CONTINUOUSLY GET LETTERS IN THE MAIL NOTIFYING ME THAT IF MY AIR BAG GOES OFF I COULD DIE. I GUESS THEY FIGURE IT'S CHEAPER TO PAY OFF THE VICTIMS FAMILY THAN ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM.
