1996 Honda Accord Visibility Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the visibility system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Visibility reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

GOOD AFTERNOON, I HAVE A 1996 HONDA ACCORD LX 4 DOORS. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW USE TO WORK FINE, AND AS TIME WENT BY, IT BEGAN TO ROLL UP VERY SLOWLY, ABOUT 10 SECONDS. NOW, IT WOULDN'T ROLL UP ANYMORE. MY WINDOW IS STILL DOWN RIGHT NOW. I BELIEVE IT WORKS FINE ROLLING DOWN, BUT IT CANT ROLL BACK UP. I'VE SEARCHED ONLINE FOR WHAT THE POSSIBLE REASONS ARE, AND I CAME UPON SEVERAL FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL ON THIS WINDOW PROBLEM SOON. *AK

I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE POWER WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR OF MY ACCORD EX COUPE. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCURRED ON JULY 27, 1997 AT AN ODOMETER READING OF 21536. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED FOR NO COST. THE NEXT FAILURE OCURRED ON OCTOBER 20, 1998 WHEN THE ODOMETER READING WAS 43050. THIS WAS ALSO FIXED WITHOUT CHARGE UNDER A GOODWILL WARRANTY. THE LAST FAILURE OCURRED ON 9/28/99 WHEN THE ODOMETER READ APPROXIMATELY 61442. THE DEALER (WOODLAND HILLS HONDA) INDICATED THE CAR WAS WELL PAST WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD DO A ONE TIME ONLY WARRANTY REPAIR FOR 50% OF THE REPAIR COST. I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY THE BALANCE OF $182.09. I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THIS WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND THOUGHT HONDA SHOULD COVER THE ENTIRE REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER DENIED THE REQUEST. DO I HAVE RECOURSE? PLEASE ADVISE AT THE INDICATED TELEPHONE.
