AS I WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, PARKING, THE CAR SPED UP INVOLUNTARILY. I KEPT PRESSING ON THE BRAKES, BUT IT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE UNTIL THE CAR WAS STOPPED BY HITTING A BUILDING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER INSPECTED THE BRAKES WHILE THE CAR WAS AT THE BODY SHOP, AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED, AND I CONTINUED DRIVING IT. THE INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN, BUT I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT BECAUSE I WAS NOT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND IT ADJUSTED ITS SPEED AGAIN. UNTIL...I HAD ANOTHER ACCIDENT EIGHT YEARS LATER DUE TO NONE OTHER THAN INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION. SEE A SEPARATE COMPLAINT.

I HAVE A HONDA ACCORD 2005 AND HAVE NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO LIGHT UP SHOWING THERE IS SOME DEFECT. I COULD NEVER FIND A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND THE LIGHT HAVE COME ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE WE ARE MILITARY AND NOW WITH THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE I HAVE FOUND OUT TALKING WITH THE CORPORATE HONDA DEALER THEY ARE ONLY GETTING THE VEHICLE LOCATION FROM LOCAL DMV OFFICES. THE PROBLEM IS MILITARY REGISTER THEIR CARS IN THEIR HOME STATE, BUT LIVE IN OTHER STATES. SO MY CAR IS IN CA AND HAS ALSO BEEN IN FL AND VA. BECAUSE OF THIS OVERSIGHT, IT APPEARS I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. I CALLED HONDA TO CONFIRM IF THE FAULTY PART IS IN MY VEHICLE, AND HONDA REFUSES TO TELL ME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD "I AM NOT PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE I AM NOT ON THE LIST". BUT IF I HAVE THE PART, AND SINCE MY CAR HAS BEEN IN A RECALL STATE, I SHOULD BE INCLUDED. IT IS A TOTAL LACK OF COORDINATION AND RECORD KEEPING. THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN AND REFUSE TO ASSIST. I HAVE WARNED THEM I AM PREGNANT WITH TWINS AND NEED TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, BUT THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN. THIS AMOUNTS TO NEGLIGENCE AND I AM NOW WORRIED HONDA DOES NOT CARE ONE BIT FOR MY SAFETY OR THE SAFETY OF MY UNBORN TWINS. *TR

AFTER GETTING THE HONDA ACCORD STEERING HOSE REPLACED DUE TO OVERHEATING, I BEGIN TO HEAR NOISES AND HAVE STEERING ISSUES. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PION STEERING AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I BELIEVE THAT DUE TO THE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS THE CAUSE TO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS TO THE STEERING. *TR

THE AIR CONDITIONING ON MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD STOPPED WORKING...TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID AFTER TRYING TO RECHARGE THE SYSTEM THAT THE CONDENSER HAD A PUNCTURE ON IT. UPON RESEARCHING THIS MISHAP I FIND THAT QUITE A FEW OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS KIND OF THING HAPPEN TO THEM BECAUSE THE CONDENSER IS NOT PROTECTED...IT IS COMPLETELY EXPOSED AND CAN BE DAMAGED QUITE EASILY...HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE A RETROFIT....MAYBE A SCREEN OF SOME TYPE...AND REIMBURSE DRIVERS OF THEIR VEHICLES FOR THE COST OF REPLACING THE CONDENSER..... *TR

HONDA 2005 ACCORD EX: MY POWER WINDOWS WILL NOT ALWAYS FUNCTION. WINDOW WILL NOT GO DOWN WHEN SWITCH IS PRESSED. IF IT IS DOWN, IT WILL NOT COME UP. NEITHER DIRECTION WORKS CORRECTLY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST 5 MONTHS. THIS WEEK THE WINDOW WENT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT HAD NOT PRESSED THE SWITCH. OUR HONDA FIT 2007 JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. IS THERE ALSO A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORD 2005?

ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, HAD TIRE RAPIDLY DEFLATE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. USING SPARE TIRE, TOOK CAR TO TIRE KINGDOM WHERE THEY DETERMINED CAUSE OF FLAT TIRE WAS CRACKED VALVE STEM. TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACED AS THE SIDEWALL GOT CRUSHED AND INTEGRITY OF TIRE RENDERED IT UNUSABLE. A MONTH AGO AS I EXITED MY CAR, I HEARD A HISSING SOUND AND NOTICED ANOTHER TIRE HAD AIR LEAKING FROM THE VALVE STEM. I WAS ABLE TO INFLATE THE TIRE AT A NEARBY GAS STATION AND BRING IT TO TIRE KINGDOM WHERE THEY REPLACED THAT VALVE. NO TIRE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED, AND THE TIRE WAS STILL USABLE. THREE WEEKS AGO I DROVE ABOUT 30 FEET OFF THE DRIVEWAY AND REALIZED ANOTHER TIRE (COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE FIRST TWO) HAD GONE COMPLETELY FLAT. USING SPARE TIRE, I RETURNED TO TIRE KINGDOM WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE FLAT WAS ANOTHER CRACKED VALVE STEM. BECAUSE THE TIRE HAD A CRUSHED SIDEWALL, IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED THE MECHANIC TO REPLACE ALL 4 VALVE STEMS, AND HE INDICATED THAT ALL FOUR OF THEM, INCLUDING THE TWO THAT WERE REPLACED WITHIN THE PAST 2 MONTHS, SHOWED SIGNS OF DRYNESS AND SLIGHT CRACKING. *TR

HONDA'S FAILURE TO DISCLOSE THAT A SPARE TIRE IS NOT STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON ITS 2005 ACCORD HYBRID PUT MY AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES IN DANGER. WE FIRST LEARNED OF THE SITUATION WHEN MY HUSBAND HAD A FLAT TIRE. HONDA THEN TOLD US THAT A RETRO-FIT WAS AVAILABLE. BEFORE PARTS ARRIVED, I EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT ON AN OUT-OF-STATE HIGH SPEED THOROUGHFARE AT NIGHT. TWO POLICE CARS AND A TOW TRUCK WERE REQUIRED TO TRANSPORT US TO THE SAFETY OF A MOTEL. ANOTHER 6 WEEKS PASSED BEFORE HONDA HAD THE PARTS TO RETRO-FIT THE VEHICLE AT MY EXPENSE. HONDA ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR THIS SITUATION. *TR

ON MONDAY 06/05/06 AT AROUND 8:45 PM. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY. I STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING LIKE GUN POWDER WHEN A FEW SECONDS LATER ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITH NO REASON WHAT SO EVER, THE SEAT BELT PULLED ME BACK AGAINST THE SEAT REALLY HARD. I DIDN'T CRASH, I DID NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. THANK GOD I DID NOT HAVE ANY INJURIES OTHER THAN A PAIN ON MY LEFT ARM DUE TO THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER SEAT AND A SLIGHT PAIN ON MY LOWER BACK I THINK DUE TO THE SEAT BELT PULLING ME BACK SO HARD AS THE AIR BAGS WERE BEING EPLOYED. *JB

RADIO RECEPTION. WE HAVE THE ACCORD WITH THE SATELLITE/RADIO COMBINATION WITH A CD PLAYER. THE ANTENNA IS LOCATED IN THE REAR WINDOW. THE RADIO RECEPTION, IN EITHER AM OR FM IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE LOCAL HONDA GARAGE HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE THE RADIO BUT INSISTS THAT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE ANTENNA DESIGN. THE RECEPTION IS TERRIBLE. STATIONS THAT ARE EASILY HEARD IN OTHER VEHICLES WE OWN OR HAVE OWNED IS SIMPLY MUCH BETTER. THIS IS ANNOYING AT BEST. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE HAD I KNOWN THE RADIO RECEPTION WAS SO BAD.*JB

JULIE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN HER NEW 2005 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WHEN HER RIGHT FRONT WHEEL CAME APART. LUCKILY, THE FAILURE DID NOT CAUSE ANY INJURIES OR DEATHS, HOWEVER, SHE WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED CONSISTENT WITH THE ROADWAY SHE WAS DRIVING ON AND THE CAR SWERVED TO THE RIGHT AND SHE HAD A HARD TIME STOPING THE CAR SINCE THE BRAKES HAD BEEN DAMAGED. THE PARTS AND PIECES FROM HER WHEEL CAUSED TWO OTHER CARS TO BE DAMAMGED, BY FLAT TIRES. THE REASON FOR FILING THIS COMPLAINT IS TWO FOLD; (1) TO PROTECT ANYONE ELSE THAT MAY HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA MOTOR COMPANY WHO WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THIER OEM EQUIPMENT.*AK

THE JACKS THAT HONDA PROVIDE FOR ITS 2005 HONDA IS NOT SAFE THE SYSTEM IS A KNUCKLE BUSTING EXPERIERIENCE AND THE JACK WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE. IT TAKES A LOT LONGER TO MOVE THE DAMAGED TIRE FROM THE VEHICLE. WHY IS IT NOT A LAW THAT ALL CAR MANUFACTURERS ARE REQUIRED TO USE A FULL SIZE SPARE AND A FLOOR STYLE JACK I WORK IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I KNOW HOW TO USE A JACK. *AK
