2004 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

REAR BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT AT 14,000 MILES. SERVICE INDICATES 2 MILIMETERS LEFT ON REAR PADS. DESPITE SERVICE STATING 60% OF BRAKING IS DONE BY FRONT BRAKES THE REAR NEED REPLACING. ADDITIONALLY, DRIVING HABITS ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS. I OWN OTHER HONDA'S AND VEHICLES WHERE MY HABITS ARE THE SAME AND DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. PADS WERE REPLACED ON REAR.*AK

MY DAUGHTER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 3/3/05 WITH HER 2004 2 DOOR HONDA ACCORD. SHE WAS TRAVELING 40 MPH AND HIT A VEHICLE TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC HEAD ON. NOT ONLY DID HER AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOY, HER SEAT BELT DID NOT HOLD HER BACK EITHER. I TRIED CONTACTING HONDA, AND THEIR ANSWER WAS THEY WILL REFER IT TO LEGAL DEPARTMENT. I WANT TO KNOW MY DAUGHTER IS GOING TO BE SAFE DRIVING A BRAND NEW CAR AND THEY DON'T EVEN WANT TO SEND ANYONE TO LOOK AT IT.*AK

THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CONSUMER'S 2004 HONDA ACCORD DID NOT OPERATE AS IT SHOULD. *NM THE CONSUMER STATED THE SIDE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT DOES NOT SIGNAL AN IMPROPER LEANING OF A PASSENGER AGAINST THE WINDOW. THE HONDA TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT DEPT. RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT, HOWEVER, THAT DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.

RE: FAULTY SAFETY FEATURE OF THE HONDA ACCORD LX-G MODEL. *BF THE CONSUMER THE SIDE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT DID NOT SIGNAL AN IMPROPER LEANING OF A PASSENGER AGAINST THE WINDOW.

MY CAR WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE BUMPER ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40-50 MPH. THE POLICE REPORT IS STILL PENDING TO STATE THE APPX SPEED. MY CAR CRUMBLED, THE BUMPER TOTALED, AND THE HOOD ROLLED UP. MY FACE HIT THE DRIVER SIDE GLASS AND SHATTERED THE WINDOW. AT NO POINT DURING THE ACCIDENT DID MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY IN THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT. THANK YOU!*AK

WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH PASSENGER'S REARVIEW MIRROR EXPLODED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE MIRROR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK THE DEALER WAS NOT INTERESTED IN THE INCIDENT AND ORDERED NO PARTS FOR THE CONSUMER. *TC

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES IN THE PAST FEW MONTH'S WHERE THE SEAT HAS MOVED FORWARD ON IT'S OWN. THIS WAS CAUSED FROM HARD BRAKING. AMOUNT OF MOVEMENT WAS FROM A 1/4 TO 1 INCH. THIS IS VERY MUCH A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA IS GOING TO REPAIR THE TRACKS, BUT I FELT A NEED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. *NM

WHILE TURNING ON THE HEATER DEFOGGER COLD AIR WOULD COME OUT FROM THE VENTS. AFTERWARDS, THE INSIDE WINDSHIELD WOULD HAVE WATER FORMING ON THE WINDSHIELD. THEN THE WATER WOULD LEAK ONTO THE GLASS AND FREEZE UP. THIS CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND STILL OCCURS REPEATEDLY. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

AT VARIOUS TIMES, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FUEL IS LOW THERE IS A VERY BAD ODOR THAT COMES FROM THE EXHAUST AND INTO THE CAR. THE ODOR SMELLS LIKE A ROTTEN EGG! I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCEING THIS ODOR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2004.*AK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE'S DRIVE AXLE COLLAPSED CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF HIS 2004 HONDA ACCORD. *NM THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED BUT DID NOT INFLATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *SC
