2005 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

CLEAR COAT PEELING OFF/PAINT CRACKING AND LOOKS LIKE A CREEPING CANCER ON THE HOOD, ROOF AND TRUNK IN PARTICULAR ON MY BURGUNDY COLORED VEHICLE AND I SEE SIMILAR MODELS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER MY TOWN. THE PAINTING PROCESS USED WAS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE.

HONDA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED IN 2015; CONTACTED HONDA CORP NO RECALLS ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL R89 FOR EXACT PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD MY CAR IS NOT A PART OF RECALL. HAD TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AND ONE YEAR LATER AFTER DRIVING 10,000 LOCAL MILES TRANSMISSION HAVING EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY STATE DUE TO AGE YEAR AND WARRANTY FACTORS THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AND DIAGNOSED BY SEVERAL HONDA'S DEALERS. TOOK CAR FOR OIL CHANGE ON 5/18; ON 5/21 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AFTER 2-3 MINUTES IT WOULD START TO BE SLUGGISH AND NOT RESPOND TO SOMEONE PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS WAS WHILE DRIVING IN A 35 MILE PER HOUR AREA TWO LANE STREET. AT THAT POINT I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF A CITY STREET ALLOWED THE CAR TO COOL DOWN AND TOOK BACK TO DEALER. DEALER SUGGESTED FAULTY TRANSMISSION WITH BROKEN INTERNAL SHIFT PARTS.

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD AIRBAG/SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY STAYING OFF AND ON.

THE CAR WENT INTO FULL THROTTLE WHILE WAITING AT A LIGHT WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, THROWING ME OUT AND INTO THE INTERSECTION AND GETTING HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. MY FOOT WAS NO WHERE NEAR OR ON THE GAS PEDAL.

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE AN ICON APPEARES ON THE DASH INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. MY AIR BAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. THIS ICON REMAINS LIT ALL THE TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN.

LOUD GRINDING NOISE FROM REAR UPON STOPPING AND GOING, AND BRAKES STICKING. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME FIXING AND CHANGING THE PADS AND ROTORS. VERY LOW USE OF VEHICLE AND SHORT TIME BETWEEN HAVING BRAKES DONE AGAIN.

FRONT AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON. ADDITIONALLY, THE SEAT BELT LIGHT ON THE DASH NO LONGER ILLUMINATES. FORUM SEARCH SAYS THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT SENSOR IS MOST LIKELY FAILED.

WIPERS AND WIPER WASHER STOPPED WORKING; NO BLOWN FUSES INVOLVED; KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM NOT WORKING; REMOTE CONTROL IS NOW OPENING JUST THE TRUNK BUT NOTHING ELSE; RADIO BACKLIGHT NOT WORKING & POWER STEERING GETS HARD IN COLD WEATHER OR AFTER DRIVING ON STREETS OR ROADS WITH LITTLE MANEUVER. EVEN AFTER PUMP REPLACEMENT.

ONE DAY AS I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT, I HAPPEN TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS. ONCE TURNING THEM ON, IT SHUT MY ENGINE OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THERE WERE NO PRIOR SERVICES DONE TO MY MY CAR THAT WOULD MAKE ME THINK IT COULD BE MALFUNCTIONING DUE TO A MECHANIC'S ERROR. I ALSO TRIED TURNING MY HIGH BEAMS ON WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND IN PARK. IT STILL SHUT MY ENGINE OFF. EVERY MECHANIC I ASKED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, THEY WERE BLOWN AND RESPONDED WITH NEVER HEARING OF THIS PROBLEM. I REPLACED THE OLD ALTERNATOR WITH A NEW ONE AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY CAR, THE ONLY PARTS I REPLACED WAS AND O-RING FOR THE POWER STEERING, BRAKE CALIBERS AND ROTORS AND RECENTLY THE ALTERNATOR. I COMPLETELY STOPPED DRIVING IT TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER DAMAGE OR POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS.

AIR BAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT I BEEN HAVING STEERING WHEEL NOISE AND IT SHAKES CONSTANTLY. I BOUGHT NEW TIRES, CHANGED POWER STEERING, PUMP, HOSE AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I GO TO DISCOUNT TIRES NEARLY EVERY TWO WEEKS TO GET TIRES REBALANCED EVEN IF ITS NEW. THEY STILL CANT FIND THE PROBLEM. CAR ALSO TURNS OFF SOMETIMES. HAPPPENED FIVE TIMES ALREADY. THE STEERING WHISTLE SOUND IS CONSTANT NOW AND WHEN MY CAR TURNED OFF IT WAS ON THE STREET PARKED AND ALSO MAKING TURNS CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE STIFF.
