Defective body paint (black). Clear coat/paint peeling. Local Honda's dealer have made several excuses over the years. I just found out last year from another owner that has the same model/color. Local dealer and Honda's corporate office will not resolve issue. Only civic not Accord models are being repainted for free.
I bought a used 04 v6 Accord with 84,000 on it I bought it for $7500 that was in may/June 2021 he was going on and on about the air conditioner and the jbl radiothe about the time it started getting cold I noticed problems with it not wanting to go when put in drive unless it was warmed up enough didn't really think much about. In the colder months the next year it would start doing some jerking problem and then it started messing up like when you are slowing down for a red light but then it turns green and you give it the gas but it just wines like it was in neutral but it was still in drive so I would have to pull over to the side of the road coasting but once I got to a lower gear like first gear I could hear it and feel it go into gear and then when I gave it the gas it would go. Google found a 4. 3 million recall on that 04 v6 tranny. . . Mad people same problems they had transmissions replaced somewhere saying to change the transmission fluid every three months just with 3 quarts until the torque converter was flushed out and so on well I had just bought this vehicle pretty much put my savings into it. Apparently the recall was for shavings from the transmission getting in the linkage causing it to pop out of gear if not that bad it could be fixed but if it was bad transmission need replacing no recall on my car if it has same safety problem why no recall. My childhood friend told me it was a transmission it got so bad I had to park sitting 2yrs I have no one to work on it I don't have the funds to pay a garage my friend had a heart attack passed away some say shift solenoid, I know that seller knew there was a problem he spent $600 yea no revall for him he ripped me off but at such low miles there's got to be a reason for this barely used car to be such a safety hazard. . . My dad told me to write you guys what can it hurt he said the car has been sitting because I have no money to pay to get it fixed I live on ss. Feel free to call me please I miss my Honda.
