2003 Honda Accord Visibility Problems

The contact owns a 2003 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH on Interstate 64 East, traveling through a construction zone, an unknown vehicle passed him and asphalt flew in the air, striking and cracking the front windshield. After fifteen to twenty minutes, the side air bags deployed. Then, a few seconds later, the steering wheel and front air bags deployed without impact or warning. There were no warning lights illuminated. There was an unknown abnormal alarm that was engaged. The contact was able to pull over safely. The contact disconnected the battery. The contact sustained a chemical burn to the left arm, but medical attention was not provided. There was no fire, crash, or police report filed. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, who opened a case, but no additional assistance was provided. The insurance company determined that the seat pre-tensioner failed to lock up. The failure mileage was approximately 86,822.

THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIT BY SOMETHING BUT THE GLASS WAS FORCED UPWARD. I ASKED HONDA SERVICE IF THIS COULD BE A DEFECT PROBLEM BUT THEY SAID NO. THIS HAPPENED IN DECEMBER 03 WHEN THE CAR WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD. I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDSHIELD WHICH ALSO EXPLODED IN 2007. BOTH THESE EVENTS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY IN LIGHT TRAFFIC AT 60 MPH..

WIPER MOTOR IN MY 2 DOOR IS NOT ON RECALL BUT THE 4 DOOR IS. HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE 4 DOORS HAVE. IT IS DANGEROUS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR WHEN THE WIPERS QUIT ON YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE ZERO VISIBILITY. I WAS FORCED AGAIN TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON THE WAY HOME IN THE DARK SO THAT I COULD BE SAFER THEN DRIVING. THE RAIN IS COMING DOWN HARD AND FAST AND THE WIPER MOTOR GETS WET THEN SHORTS OUT NO MATTER WHAT SPEED OR WHAT TYPE OF ROAD. THE RECALL IS A SHIELD PLACED ON IT UNLESS IT IS CORRODED ALREADY THEN REPLACED. I WANT SOMETHING DONE. TIRED OF STRESSING OVER ALL THE POOR QUALITY ISSUES HONDA HAS HAD WITH THIS CAR. INCLUDING THE RECALL ON THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG I JUST FOUND BECAUSE I CAME TO SEE IF MY WIPER MOTOR HAD FINALLY BEEN RECALLED. THIS WAS AN ISSUE MY SON HAD WHEN HE OWNED THE CAR ALSO. THE MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE JUST KEEPS GOING UP AND UP BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEARS AND NOTHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T TRUST WHEN IT WILL NOT WORK AGAIN. PLEASE HELP ME I AM DISABLED AND DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR ALL THIS.

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND I COULD NOT SEE A THING. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT OTHER CARS WENT AROUND ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEIR IS NOT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THIS FOR 2003 HONDA ACCORDS NO. Q78 WHEN THE MOTOR GETS WET IT STOPS WORKING BUT FOR SOME REASON IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. ALSO I HAD A LEAK IN MY POWER STEERING AND TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE PUMP AND ENDED UP CHARGING ME $500.00 TO FIX BUT IT IS STILL LEAKING.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN WE HEARD A LOUD CRASHING SOUND ABOVE OUR HEADS. WE PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THERE WAS NOT ANY INCLEMENT WEATHER NOR WAS THERE A OBJECT THAT HIT IT. IT EXPLODED AND SHATTERED FROM THE MIDDLE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL HONDA OWNERS, DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS. WHEN CONTACTING HONDA THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. ALTHOUGH SOME DEALERSHIPS REPLACED THE SUNROOF FOR FREE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF GLASS EXPLODES ABOVE YOUR HEAD WHILE DRIVING. IT'S ALSO NOT AN INSURANCE ISSUE. FEEL FREE TO GOOGLE "HONDA SUNROOF EXPLODES", LOTS OF AFFECTED CONSUMERS. THIS DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND TIME THAT THE WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. FIRST TIME OCCURRED OVER 2 YEARS AGO AND HAD TO HAVE THE WIPER TRANSMISSION CHANGED. AGAIN IN MIDDLE OF RAIN STORM, WIPERS STOPPED. THE MOTOR WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF RECALL, BUT THEY NEVER REPLACED THE WIPER TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS CHECKED, THE ARM CONNECTION WAS OFF SO THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2003 ACCORD COUPE TO WORK TODAY IN HEAVY RAIN. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WIPERS DID NOT WORK. MY WIFE TRIED TO ADJUST THE SPEED FROM HIGH TO LOW AND THEN INTERMITTENT BUT NO LUCK. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, SHE DID GET TO WORK SAFELY. I CALLED HONDA US AND SPOKE TO [XXX]. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE WIPER MOTOR ON THE 4 DOOR ACCORD, BUT NOT THE COUPE ABOUT THE ISSUE. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR IN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO SUPERVISOR AVAILABLE AND THAT SOMEONE WILL CALL ME WITHIN 24 HOURS. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WENT ON HONDA FORUMS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH NO POSSIBLE SOLUTION. MY QUESTION IS WHY IS THE COUPE MODEL EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL? IF THERE'S A DIFFERENT MOTOR USED, WHY WASN'T THE REPRESENTATIVE MORE INFORMATIVE ABOUT THE SITUATION? IT SOUNDED LIKE THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS IN A HURRY TO GET ME OFF THE PHONE. MY WIFE'S SAFETY IS OFF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE AND I NEED A RESOLUTION ON THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE'RE EXPECTED TO HAVE MORE HEAVY RAIN OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. THANK YOU.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!! ON THE ABOVE DATE, I STARTED MY CAR & PROCEEDED TO CLEAN RAIN WATER FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THE WIPERS WOULD NOT COME ON, NOR WOULD THE RADIO. THIS IS JUST A COUPLE OF ONGOING THINGS THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS CAR, SINCE I'VE PURCHASED IT. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE WIPERS ARE FACTORY DEFECTS. WHEW, NOT AGAIN!!!! UGH! WHEN'S IT GOING TO END. I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO DEPEND ON MY CAR FRO EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF MY COLLEGE STUDENT SO, I'M ANAL ON THE MAINTENANCE. WE JUST PUT IN NEW BALL JOINTS AND HE TELLS ME THE SUSPENSION IS FAULTY SO, IT WILL CAUSE ME TO REPLACE THE JOINTS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. I OPTED FOR THE LESSER OF THE TWO BECAUSE, IT'S A FACTORY ISSUE. I'VE RECEIVED A COUPLE OF RECALL NOTICES HOWEVER, UPON TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, ONCE THEY KEPT IT& CLAIMED TO FIX THE STEERING ISSUES HOWEVER, THEY STILL EXIST. I TOOK IT A SECOND TIME, THEY HAD THE CAR ALL OF 20 MINS. AND TOLD ME THAT THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED PREVIOUSLY. I'M CONTINUOUSLY HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING WHINING, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I SERVICE THE FLUIDS. MY RADIO & ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE CAR, IS CONSTANTLY ON THE BLINK OR NOT WORKING. NOW THE PASSENGER WINDOW DECIDES NOT TO GO UP. ONE DAY, AS I WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE (TURNED OFF!) IT DECIDED TO ROLL BACKWARDS.LUCKILY BOTH FEET WERE NOT OUT THE CAR AND I COULD CATCH IT! I'VE INVESTED SO MUCH MONEY IN KEEPING THIS CAR RUNNING UNTIL MY MECHANIC KNOWS WHAT GOING WRONG BEFORE THE RECALLS COME OUT. HE'S SERVICED SO MANY "03" ACCORDS, UNTIL HE'S THINKING OF BECOMING A SPECIALIST FOR HONDAS. I JUST WANT HONDA TO CORRECT ALL RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. MY STUDENT DEPENDS ON IT.! HOW ARE THESE CAR MANUFACTURERS ALLOWED TO KEEP ROBBING ITS CUSTOMERS??? MY ADDRESS HAS CHANGED SINCE MY LAST COMPLAINT. SEE BELOW. *TR

CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY (AUDIO-HVAC DISPLAY) FAILURE. I HAVE A 2003 HONDA 4 DOOR (W/O NAVIGATION) ACCORD EX. (I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE). THIS PROBLEM, WITH POTENTIAL SAFETY IMPLICATIONS SEEMS TO RISE TO THE LEVEL OF A DEFECT. AS I WRITE, THE DISPLAY IS DARK AND OCCASIONALLY FLICKERS. THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS SERVICE BULLETINS RELEASED ON THIS ISSUE AND ITS A KNOW DEFECT; HOWEVER I DID CONTACT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ON DECEMBER 2011 BUT, HONDA AND HONDA DEALER'S REFUSES TO REPLACE PART WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT. WINDSHIELD WIPER (LINKAGE ARM) FAILURE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAD MENTIONED TO MULTIPLE HONDA DEALER'S THAT WINDSHIELD WIPER ARE BANGING WHEN RETURNING TO START POSITION AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL AND THEY HAD CHECKED THE WIPER MOTOR AND IT WORKS FINE. WINDSHIELD WIPER STARTED BANGING YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2003. I WAS ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE BY REPLACING WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE ARM AT MY OWN COST AFTER I FOUND THE SOLUTION ON INDEPENDENT HONDA FORUMS. *TR

I OWN A 2003 HONDA ACCORD AND ON 5/16/2011 I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM THE OFFICE WHEN MY CAR WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS A RAINY DAY WITH HEAVY T-STORM. WHEN THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, I SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND CRASHED INTO A RAMP. IN THE ACCIDENT I DAMAGED MY FRONT BUMPER AND HURT MY BACK. THE NEXT DAY MORNING WIPERS STARTING WORKING AGAIN. OVER THE NEXT FIVE DAYS, I NOTICED THIS NEW TREND IN MY VEHICLE CAUSED BY THE SUDDEN DISRUPTION OF WIPERS. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE WIPERS SINCE THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND IT IS A BIG THREAT TO OUR SAFETY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON APPROX 351,000 2003 HONDA ACCORD WIPER MOTORS. MY RECALL WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY BUT THE RECALL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER REFUSES TO CHANGE THE WIPER MOTOR SECOND TIME WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION FROM HONDA AUTOMOBILES. I AM SEEKING YOUR HELP TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED. RECALL DETAILS: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 08V169000 UPDATED IVOQ 08/12/11. *JB *TR
