The consult circut board that lights up where to find the defroster, heater, stero, ac is totally dark. This is a safety issue and I must turn on a light to see the controls and I feel this is a great safety issue and should be a recall for all Honda's since I have read on line how many people had had this problem. I was never notifed by Honda that they would fix it free (possible) if you get your car there before 7yrs or 100,000 miles but they keep that very quiet. I was so busy paying to keep my home and Honda never sent me any word on this and problem.
On December 30, 2011 the back-light on my radio stereo as well as the a/c panel went out. This poses a safety issue because 1. During storms or bad weather, I cannot see what station to turn the radio for tornado warnings or weather updates. 2. To adjust a/c or heater settings, I must take my focus off the road to turn on the overhead light and adjust settings. 3. In weather conditions such as high fog or where you need to use a defrost, I must must take my focus off the road to turn on the overhead light and adjust settings.
Smells burning when use heated seats, something is burning. Passenger seat, we are afraid of fire,, we stopped using it,.
I own a 2004 Honda Accord ex coupe v6 engine. . . And the transmission has failed at 79,000k miles. A safety issue because I was almost rear-ended as I was trying to go up a hill and the car did not want to go forward anymore although it was in drive and I was pressing the gas. . . It kept rolling backwards as if it was in reverse, and I have an automatic transmission!!!! this seems to be an ongoing problem for this make and model of this year's vehicle. . . I want to join the other thousands of people out their to report this as a safety problem, it couldv'e cost me my life an anybody that was behind me!.
I purchesed a 2004 Honda Accord in October of 2008, the car was running and fucntioning well until the year 2010 where I started to have problems with the radio not working, the transmission failed and now in 2011 had to replace the sop ecm (per hoda dealer the memory card of the car), I have spent more than $6,000 on this car because I had had so many major a minor problems with it. And even though I have followed the schedule maintainance visits to the dealer this car still reflecting problems. I have gotten eveything fixed till this moment and im afraid the car will still give me problems in the future.
2004 Honda Accord.
Clear coat and paint is disappearing at an alarmingly fast rate (and early).
I was driving on the parkway and the gas pedal engaged itself and accelerated by itself. I was trying to break but the break pedal also was locked and I had to move away from car to car so that I would not hit them and then finally the pedal released itself and reduced the speed. I took the car to Honda and I am waiting for them to tell me what to do next.
I brought this car and the dealership lied to me. They told me that I would be making certain payments which at the end were not the payments that I ended up making. I went to the dealership and tried to talk to somebody about my problems but nobody would pay attention to me. Nobody would do anything to help me with my problem . The dealership is a fraud. I want to cancel the problem of this car.
I was driving down the road and noticed that the air conditioner was not cooling. I took the automobile to the dealership to be checked and was told that rocks had hit the condenser and damaged. Supposedly, it was replaced but less than 7 months later the same thing occurred (no cooling) and rocks had again damaged the condenser. Fall was coming up, so the a/c was not used again until April '06. I feel the car is equipped with a design defect that is costly and potentially harmful. The lower front grill bumper is designed in a such a way that any road debris can enter and damage a fully exposed and unprotected a/c condenser. The design of the grill and condenser material leaves it vulnerable to be easily damaged by small gravel. There is no screen or deflector in place for the condenser to prohibit any road debris from damaging the condenser: therefore, the clearing and defogging of the inside window is difficult without the dehumidifier effect. An investigation should be conducted on the vulnerability of damage to the a/c condenser system. Honda should be held responsible for repairing the problem, especially if this part is inferior and/or defective.
Ac condenser failure - allegedly punctured by road debris. My wife was behind a truck carrying gravel traveling on an interstate highway. Gravel may have spilled out and entered front of car, puncturing condenser unit. Extended warranty will not cover - they claim issue was caused by road debris. I claim that if the car was properly designed, a simple pebble could not cause $500 worth of damage.
On July 6th, 2004, I took possession of our new 2004 Honda Accord sedan with 132 miles on the odometer. I scheduled to have Honda accessories installed by the Honda dealership on July 15th-16th, and picked up my vehicle on July 17th. Upon picking up the vehicle (369 miles on odometer) the driver's side seatbelt would not retract. The seatbelt was completely pulled out and still would not retract. It took the dealership several hours, but they managed to replace the driver's side seatbelt which had failed. The replacement unit retracts very slowly and has to be manually maneuvered into place. Will need to schedule another appointment to have it looked at again. In addition to this major safety incident, the outside temperature gauge has malfunctioned and no longer reads the correct temperature.
Complaint regaring window tinting.
Possible safety hazard with 2004 Honda Accord. (nar) 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.
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.
