I had been driving 10 min. (70mph) on the interstate when I went to pass another motorist as soon as I turned on my blinker the car started to shutdown. After several minutes I discovered that when I applied the brakes the car would also make an sudden jerk and begin to shutdown. The car would drive completely normal as long as you did not activate either the blinkers or the brakes. I tried several other electrical accessories and none of them seemed to effect the car. After driving for several hours we exited the interstate and put the car in neutral after engaging the brake for several seconds the car died . When I took my foot off the brake it immediately restarted and the problem stopped.

Climate control dispaly and lighting goes out(also radio display) which makes it impoosible to turn on defoggers or other items at night when driving well known defect that should cause a total recall.

The passenger window began rolling up and staying up all on its own, at anytime it wanted. It would return to normal working order after I restarted the car. Then one day- it rolled down, and would not work again. I found out I could override with the keys to roll up. But id have to window lock to stay. Then one day we smell burning- we traced it to the door- and the override no longer works. Now the driver window is beginning to do the same behavior. So far I've replaced driver switch= 325. 00 --quote for motor= 400. 00--I know it will need the switch too. . . That is over 1000. 00 just to get the window up??? that is absurd!.

The display for the radio/ac is very dim. The radio still works but you can't see the display. This is a known problem for this type of vehicle. Honda needs to have a recall and fix this on all Accords.

First, I called approximately two weeks ago and filed a complaint over the telephone. The man I talked to said he would follow up with an email to me, which he never did. He also said I would receive something by mail, which I never did. My name is lenore madrachimov 92 echo place elmwood park, NJ 07407 madrachimov@aol. Com. I would like to know what happened to that complaint? in short: my 2004 Honda Accord's transmission failed at 94k. Honda said my VIN was not part of the recall. Who did Honda make a deal with? I had to pay to have the trans rebuilt. Now going high speeds for long distances the dash board lights up, the d light blinks, the triangle comes on, the engine light comes on. Once the car cools down most lights go off and after 3 cycles, the engine light goes off. Auto zone came up with some p code that it was a sensor. The trans guy replaced it. , I am still getting dashboard lights and this time I lost the speedometer. Someone said the trans is overheating. But then why the p code that it is a sensor electrical problem? if Honda is having such a big problem with this why isn't the highway safety commission getting involved? why doesn't everyone write to them and make a complaint? why aren't you getting involved with this issue? Honda put a bad product in their cars and the consumers are suffering. In 1970s chevy put a small trans in a mid size car with plastic parts. After 3 transmissions and a trip to court the judge ordered they put a bigger trans in my car. Is this the same thing? this is a very serious problem with Honda and their transmissions and I would like to know why the consumers are getting the raw deal on this? the Honda dealership said they don't know anything about this problem? how can that be when there are so many complaints!.

The lights on the radio and ac pannel do not work, the lcd does not display the radio stations or the ac temperatures.

The transmission is fail According to Honda dealer inspection, Honda dealer does not take any responsability of the transmission problem neither the Honda manufacturer. Air condition does not cool on even it was repaired once but it still does not work.

The display has gone out. This is a known fact for Honda. They extended the warranty. Many experience after the warranty. Circuit board is faulty and they know it, why not replace it for owners who spent money on their product. This takes away from some visibility inside vehicle. I'm told it may be a heat issue. . .

The lights on the radio and ac pannel do not work, the lcd does not display the radio stations or the ac temperatures. Now I find that the cost is over $800. 00. Also I remember that when I brought the car in for service, in the past, the technician asked me if I had any problems with the dash light, seems he already knew about this problem over a year ago.

The air bag warning indicator is illuminated spontaneously regardless if the vehicle was in motion or at start-up and whether the front passenger seat was occupied or unoccupied. The recall 07v001000 (air bags: frontal: sensor/control module) does not include my VIN.

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.

For no fault on my part, radio lcd clock light stop working. This should be a recall, it is happening to all 2003 to 2007 cars.

Smells burning when use heated seats, something is burning. Passenger seat, we are afraid of fire,, we stopped using it,.

All lights of display box (for radio, a/c, audio, car info, temperature, clock, etc), display panel, and backlights of all switches on that box, such as heater on/off, a/c, front and rear defroster, temperature, and all controls about electronics, are gone, I. E. Not displayed. Functions are working but backlight isn't working. It is a serious problem for safety. For example, in the night when you drive highway, you can't find the defroster switch to turn on to remove fog of rear window. You can't adjust the channel at the night when you need to hear emergency radio channel. No info about car at all. Honda admitted that it had a problem and so they extended the warrant period, but this problem appeared irregularly. For me, just after passing the warrant period they said (100k). It should be recalled. I found a lot of complaints and same issues in the internet. Please investigate and ask Honda to fix this problem whatever their warrant period. Thank you for your effort!.

My radio and a/c display went out. I have to turn on my interior lights at night to adjust the temperature in my car. It is extremely dangerous if my windows get foggy and I cannot fix it without pulling off of the road. This car needs to be recalled. I should not have to pay $1000 for a problem that all of these models are having.

The interior lighting on the radio and other components went out. It is dangerous to be driving and trying to figure out where fan and other buttons are in the dark. I should not need to use a flashlight to figure out how to clear fog from the windows. If I have a related accident my insurance company would consider it my fault even though it is a design or manufacturing defect.

I have no lights in the top of the car; a/c lights nor a/c work and the door lights. I feel very unsafe not being able to see when I get in or out of my vehicle. The seat belt tightens up whether brakes are applied or not. Not having any dash lights are essential to the safety of any vehicle. Want assist!!!!!!!!!.

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.

I have gotten eveything fixed till this moment and im afraid the car will still give me problems in the future.

When turn on the a/c, left side blows very hot air, and passenger side blows cool air. I turned the a/c to full (all the way to blue) but still getting extremely hot air from left side while my wife (in passenger) started complaining that she is shivering.

I was driving on the freeway with rain, and the whole front panel (where the stereo, a/c, emergency light, went off. As I was tryng to find the emergency light( cause I was going slow in the rain and fix the temp. To clear DE window I almost crash with another car. This shoul be taken more serious. I called and Honda said I was out of warranty. Ive been going to the dealer and they want me to pay almost a $1000, I called Honda customer service and they insist I ve benn out of warranty. This afect the concentration and visibility on the car . I've been reading and its a common problem on this model.

Audio unit display went blank / extremely dim. This unit controls radio and, most importantly, the heating and cooling settings for the car. Covered under extend warranty (7 years /100k miles), but car has 116k miles, yet 6 years old. Since electronics failures should be based on usage hours of operation), believe this failure should be covered under the warranty.

Light display went out that controls radio and hvac components 2 years ago. Dark at night when driving and when the windows get fogged up you can not see the switch to turn on defrost because the printed circuit board has stopped working, so it requires you to turn on interior light to find the defrost button, this is very dangerous while driving at night. After researching last night I found Honda extended the warranty on this until 2011 or 100,000. So I called Honda and I was told I'm past the warranty it's whichever comes first (I never received a letter from Honda or it would have went in to get fixed) this in my opinion should be covered by the dealer as it could cause a fatality with someone fumbling with the interior lights just to get the defrost buttons on.

2004 Honda exl v-6; headlights dim as a result of the eld issue which is Honda is fully aware of. The car works fine in every other aspect. Honda's explanation that this is normal and acceptable does not do anything to ease my concerns as the headlights flicker during nighttime driving. I am very disappointed that Honda is not taking the necessary steps to resolve this issue, as it is a very noticeable issue. Given the number of online postings and complaints filed directly to Honda over this issue, the NHTSA needs to apply some pressure to Honda to get them to resolve this dangerous situation on their Accord models.

Turning signal for front and back of vehicle stopped working. Bulb and fuse are intact. Honda Accord ex 2004.
