Transmission fluid may be leaking, engine (or transmission) stutters after go maybe a block.
On Saturday at 11:50 pm, I was cruising at the 169th & maple rd, omaha, ne parking lot. . At a front parking junction, I made a right turn at about 2-3 mph speed. I slowed and braked for a pedestrian walking across my path. My car started revving and accelerating rapidly. I immediately pressed the brake pedals harder. The harder I pressed, the harder the acceleration became. I became very concerned and scared that the car might accelerate suddenly and may cause a terrible accident. I quickly move the gear hand pedal shifters foward to (p)ark. The car jerked forward a bit and then stood still; however, the engine started revving with a loud din and then back to normal. I started to slowly move the gear back into (d)rive mode. The car behaved normally and I parked my car in a available parking slot. Prior to this incident, I had a minor incident similar to this. This was a about 2 weeks back. I was slowed and stopped at a traffic light to make a right turn to maple. While in stop mode pressing the brake, the car started jerking and accelerating forward slowly. I quickly pressed the brake harder and it jerked forward and stopped. At that point, I just shrugged it off, thinking that was unusual but wasn't really bad to take issue. All this happened when I changed my Accord hybrid battery and a hybrid controller over a month back when I had a hybrid battery and the controller that needed to be replace on account of a safety issue with the car. The car felt ok after the change. However, I had the car since 2005 and never did I encounter a sudden acceleration on this car, not once until after the battery and controller change. I can only relate now to what actually has happened and is very concerned for my life and my family to whoever drives the vehicle.
The passenger side door handle cable has a small plastic anchor that anchors the cable to to the inside of the door panel. The plastic piece was severed into two pieces by the metal grip that holds it in place. The end resullt is the passenger door can not be opened from the inside. If something was to happen and I needed to esacpe the vehicle from the passenger side, I would not have access to do so. I believe the plastic anchor breaking is a defect caused by inherently bad design of a plastic item locking into a metal item.
Clear coat paint is peeling off around the edges of the entire car.
Honda 2005 Accord 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?.
During the cooler season, while parked the brake vacuum system lose the brake vacuum. So when you get in and press on the brake pedal it is hard since there is no more vacuum in the brake booster. This is dangerous if you are parked on a hill with vehicles around you. You could end up hitting another vehicle. I am concerned that the brake vacuum system could fail while driving making braking ineffective.
I purchase this vehicle on April 28th 2008. The carfax report had an accident indicator by the second owner, but did not mention what type of accident in terms of moderate, minor, no damage, etc. This report was printed March 24th 2008. When I bought the vehicle the air bag light was on, and when driving; it still stayed on and I told atlanta used car dealership, who told me to take it to the Honda dealership to look at it and stated that its probably a glitch. I took the vehicle to the Honda car dealership to inspect. The Honda dealership found the srs control unit and the passenger side curtain airbag faulty. As stated on my customer invoice from gwinnett place Honda, the passenger side air bag appeared to be cut out. Carfax did not report that there is a deficient airbag. Another incident found is that the accelerator occasionally stick when trying to depress. The Honda dealership found there was a carbon build up and it needed service. The dealer replaced the right outer tie rod end, which is on the right passenger where the accident occurred. The dealer stated it was unsafe for me to drive without replacing the tie rod, which was serviced and they also performed a 4 wheel alignment and test drive before I left. My experience has led me to take the initiative to communicate with my attorney general's office, and other consumer protection agencies to report this incident. Sincerely, olutomilola aiyetiwa.
I have a Honda 2005 Accord, just took it in to the dealer earlier this morning, and the service advisor looked at the condenser right away and shown me the "dent", probably from a pebble. And that he said it is a very common on the Honda Accord. I definitely believe that this a design flaw if there are so many incidents on this. The warranty does not cover road debris. . They are going to give me a call and give me a price estimate for the repair.
The air conditioning on my 2005 Honda Accord hybrid failed while on a new year holiday visit to arizona. When I took it to my local dealer for repair under warranty, they told me that it is due to damage from road debris making a hole in the condenser, and that it would cost me $875 to repair. This would seem to be a design fault, putting something so apparently fragile at the front of a car, behind an opening 28 1/2 inches by 5 with only one horizontal bar under 1/4 inch wide and 3 verticals less than 1/8 inch wide. For a few dollars, they could protect it with a mesh grill and save what internet research seems to show happening to more than a few people on several Honda models.
Vehicle purchased 8/1/2006, passed safety inspection by Honda dealer. Beginning on 9/1/2006 air conditioner returned no cold air. Honda dealer claims a rock impact caused a hole in the air conditioning condenser, leading to a leaking of refrigerant and loss of cooling function. I believe this is a design flaw, as the problem is well-documented by many consumers. Honda refused to cover the repair under warranty, instead charging the consumer $750.
Ac condenser prone to damage. With the placement of the condenser, it is easily damaged by flying objects hitting it during the drive. I went to the dealer to drop off my car earlier today to check on the ac problem and the first thing the service advisor did was look at the condenser and show me the many dents and marks. He said likely, it was hit by a little pebble while driving on the freeway and that it is a very common for the condenser to be damaged small flying objects. I only have had the car for 1. 5 years. I did a quick check online and someone else also had the same problem and she only had the car for less than 3 months.
My 2005 Honda Accord ex has three features that compromise my safety: 1. The right-hand corner of the sun visor, when in its fullest position (not at an angle), obscures nearly half of the rearview mirror. This has caused a number of "near accident" events. 2. The Honda is designed to downshift when going downhill. Not only does this diminish gas efficiency, but can cause skids in icy weather. 3. The brakes are extremely sensitive. I have spoken to two area Honda service centers and a service representative at Honda headquarter. The area managers say that "they're all like that; there's nothing we can do," and the Honda headquarters rep says the same. She even went so far as to recommend I get the lower half of my windshield tinted to prevent sun glare! what about night driving? I can't believe that solutions to this problem cannot be found. Can you help in any way?.
The contact stated after purchasing the vehicle he began to notice cracks in the steering wheel above the air bags. He contacted Honda and spoke with a representative. The representative had someone else to call him back. The representative told him that this problem was his fault because of the way he was pressing the horn. Both times the airbag were replaced by the dealership under warranty. He went to a body shop and saw two other vehicles with the same problem ,and they told him if the air bag deployed then it could cause injury to him. Updated 12/27/05.
