2004 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD WITH 2004 HONDA ACCORD. (NAR) *MR WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, AS THE CONSUMER APPROACHED THE OFF RAMP, HE ATTEMPTED TO DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY PRESSING WHAT THE CONSUMER THOUGHT WAS THE CANCEL BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL BUT WAS UNABLE TO VIEW THE THREE BUTTON THAT WAS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED THE (RES/ACCEL) BUTTON AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SPEED UP. THE CONSUMER FELT THAT HONDA SHOULD ADD ILLUMINATION TO THE THREE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL THAT ACTIVATE AND DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL. *SC *JB *CB

EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO PAINT OR CLEAR COAT DESPITE LIMITED WINTER WEATHER DRIVING. *AK

PURCHASED CAR WITH 10 MILES ON IT. FAILED TO START UPON LEAVING DEALERSHIP. APPARENTLY LOOSE WIRE. SALESMAN WIGGLED WITH CABLE AND CAR STARTED. EVERY DAY SINCE THE PURCHASE OF CAR, I WOULD HAVE A FALSE START REQUIRING A SECOND OR EVEN THIRD TRY TO START THE CAR. 25 DAYS LATER, 1200 MILES LATER, THE CAR DIED AND WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER. APPARENTLY, THE BATTERY WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AND ALL CABLES SURROUNDING THE BATTERY WAS LOOSE AND THE HEADLAMP COVER WAS LOOSE ALSO. THERE IS CLUNK NOISE WHEN YOU INITIALLY PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS NORMAL NOISE. THERE IS A METALLIC RUB WHEN DEPRESSING ON THE BRAKE AND THERE IS LOUD BRAKE NOISE ALSO. DEALER SAID THIS WAS NORMAL ALSO, BUT I'M NOT SO SURE OF THIS. *LA

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX-L NAVI SEDAN AND WENT TO GET GAS. AS I FINISHED PUMPING THE GAS AND WENT TO START THE CAR THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THAT THE STARTER HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

VIBRATION IN FRONT END. STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND SO DOES THE STICK SHIFT. *JB

I OWN A 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 SEDAN. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 9000 MILES ON THE CAR. SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR IT INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT STILL IS NOT FIXED.*AK

STEERING PULLS LEFT/RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO THE DEALER. DEALER FOUND THE PROBLEM AND DID AN WHEEL ALIGNMENT. BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. THE CAR STILL DRIFTS. *AK

INTERMITTENTLY MY V6 EX 2004 ACCORD IS DIFFICULT TO START, AND REQUIRES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET STARTED. THE DEALER TELL ME THAT THIS IS "NORMAL" FOR THIS MAKE AND IS RELATED TO THE COMPUTER CHIP IN THE CAR. IT SEEMS THAT THIS WAS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 ACCORDS. IT APPEARS THAT NO RESOLUTION IS POSSIBLE.*JB

STEERING PULLS TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT STILL IS NOT CORRECT. *AK

MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 OCCASIONALLY HAS ISSUES STARTING. MY HONDA ONLY HAS 1600 MILES ON IT. IT ACTS AS IF IT'S FLOODED; EVERYTIME I'VE HAD TO REMOVE THE KEY AND TRY AGAIN. I HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE (ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS) WITH MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 -- SO MANY THAT THE DEALER BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK FROM ME (BEFORE I COULD LEMON LAW IT) AND PUT ME IN THE 2004 -- BECAUSE "HONDA'S ARE GOOD CARS". *JB
