general problems of the 2006 Honda Accord

Clicking in steering wheel, and steering wheel very stiff. Not sure if it's the flex coupler or something else. Has been ongoing for probably 2 or 3 years. Also headliner is falling, has been lifting for a couple of years but now it's to the point where I'm afraid it'll fall on my head and block my vision while driving. This is a common issue with these older Hondas headliner needs a recall/warranty extension from the manufacturer. The flex coupler if that is the issue needs a recall or warranty extension as well. Kia has done this for their older specific vehicles with this flex coupler issue (my other car which had the same problem).

Transmission problem.

I bought a used vehicle from aloha motor groups inc. On Feb. 28, 2020. I was never told that the vehicle was salvaged. They told me that they were sending my title and everything out. I hadn't received anything as of August 28, 2020, so I went to the dealership where they pulled out my title, attached to someone else's paperwork, and realized that the salvage inspection was never cleared. So, now I am stuck with them not having any explanation or means of fixing this issue. They are denying their involvement and are refusing to have a new maryland safety inspection done after the salvage inspection is completed even though they failed to provide a proper inspection and title for over 6 months.

Contacted Honda north America & leith Honda of raleigh nc to fix srs supplemental restraint system on Honda Accord. They said I have to pay $138. 00 diagnostic fee and $475. 00 for a part that is in the steering wheel connected to the air bag system. Vehicle was already serviced by leith Honda of raleigh and the red light came back on while driving out of leith Honda of raleigh parking lot. What is even worse is that the 2006 Honda Accord was being serviced today 02/07/2020 at the leith Honda of raleigh dealership for an airbag recall. Please force them to do the right thing and fix the whole system not just random parts. They know what the problem is & then tried to charge my wife another diagnostic fee to make extra money (very dishonest). When I called Honda north America they just said it was between myself & leith Honda of raleigh. Very disappointed in both Honda north America & especially leith Honda of raleigh for trying to take advantage of a female. This is a ridiculous situation and a huge safety concern. I have know way to know if my airbag will function in an emergency. Both leith Honda of raleigh and Honda north America need to help people. Not everyone can spend $600. 00 on a car that is worth only about $1,00. 00 they did the minimum required work of the airbag recall and let her go-like if they don't talk about the srs problem it will just go away. How do they sleep at night.

Sun roof window shattered while driving on freeway at about 65mph. There was no indication of an object striking or hitting it, just a pop and a sudden rush of air that increased as the opening in the shattered safety glass grew larger. Luckly the inside cover was closed, so that the glass shards did not drop onto me while driving during the morning commute on a busy freeway. I was very surprised that the window did not have any lamination on it to keep it from falling into shards. The weather was raining and about 45 degrees f, but I did not hit a pot hole or hear/see any debris hit the car. I have had no previous issues with this window. The Honda dealership said there were no safety recalls involving this window and that they would not cover anything related to this over 3 years old. The cost to repair was quoted at $468. The car was hail damaged two years ago, but I believe it had nothing to do with this event since tempered glass just completely shatters if damaged.

"takata recall" the alarm does not sound when pressing the alarm button . Windshield wipers arm that house the wipers broke.

Official NHTSA page concerning recall #12v222000. While driving, my car's electrical system is making noise behind the steering wheel, my power steering fluid leaks, and my I got a check engine light with a catalytic converter issue. I think it's related to this recall. On a city street. Or the electrical system ticks or whines when I turn the car on.

Car will not start intermittently. Dealer could not find any problem. This has been going on for about 5 weeks. Is there a recall of the ignition?.

Faulty transmission , vehicle will not move randomly in fast moving traffic , stops revs but goes no place . Have done flushes , selnoids, fuel pump, starter and many more things . Reached out to Honda opened cases blew me off several times . My son and I were almost killed in car several times never performed right from the start . The last time it happened was towed.

I was driving on a city street (not more than 30-35mph) and came to a red light and stopped. My car stalled or died when I tried to accelerate after the light turned green. I'm not clear if my car stalled or died completely as I was too busy trying to make sure other drivers saw my emergency flashers. I could not accelerate and engine completely went quiet or dead. Both the check battery and oil lights flashed. Upon turning off my car and restarting all was fine and lithe check battery and oil lights went off. The car drove fine and lights have not come on again since.

Safety bags shows a red light that air bags are off.

This is the third door lock actuator on this car that has failed. I know there was a class action against Honda for later model year actuators but it did not encompass 2006. The safety problem is that if a person wanted to get out of the locked car in a hurry the electrical lock and unlock button wouldn't unlock the car. The first failure occurred to the left rear door lock actuator replaced under warranty, then in 2009 the right rear failed and now in 2015 the right front failed. I think because of the frequency of failure there is a design problem possibly an extension of the design problems that lead to the later model class action lawsuit for lock actuator failures.

Paint clear coat failure on trunk then spread around car.

Honda dealer reported my vehicle is at risk for fire due to severely corroded manifold converter heat shields and mechanical failure of mid-tunnel underfloor heat shield. Honda dealer estimated cost at $1,170. 79 to prevent a fire. I spoke with supervisor darien at Honda customer service and she was indifferent and repeated standard boilerplate. Involved part numbers; hp18120-rca-a00, hp18121-rca-a00, hp18122-rca-a00, hp18123-rca-a00 and hp74601-sda-a01.

I was traveling at the speed of 35 mph in low traffic when I hit a small bump and my car lost all power. All the lights on the dash came on and steering became really tight. I drifted to a stop and switched the car off then on. It restarted and the check engine light was on. The light then went off. Two weeks before this the car cut off as I was backing out my driveway. The check engine light came on and I took it to tires plus the technician found the check engine light to be a computer error. This is really dangerous. Its seems as if the car is design to cut off as to alert me something is wrong; however, that would be great if it cut off before it is put in gear. Once I start moving this puts me in great danger of being ran over and killed. The out come of this design could be fatal for me and many more experiencing this. Walsh Honda of macon, GA also found the codes to be erroneous.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 mph, the vehicle dispersed white smoke from the ventilation system. The vehicle was taken to a independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the vehicle needed an expansion valve and a dryer. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 130,000. Ddr.

While having the vehicle in for a power steering hose recall the dealer found two broken motor mounts. My Honda Accord lx has been making a thumping noise on acceleration. Its possible that leaking power steering fluid has caused the detereration of the rubber in the mounts. The dealer service rep says there are 3 motor mounts on this engine. The vehicle has not been driven hard since new. With 2 of 3 mounts broken at 66, 800 miles is a matter for concern. The 3d mount breaking would cause the engine to twist and possibly start a fire or transmission and drive axels to lock up causing a crash. Other Honda Accord owners have complained about broken motor mounts on-line.

My car is leaking water in and around my side passengar airbag sign on the panel on the door.

Power steering hose is leaking and could cause potential fire due to the location in the engine compartment. This is a problem in multiple models of Honda and has been recalled before, but not in my model. Please consider the placement in future vehicles and resolve this issue in current ones.

I checked recalls on the airbagrecall. Com website and did not find a recall on my airbag but found another recall instead. I did not receive the recall notice but after reading the description I paid for this out of pocket. I don't know how the notice was sent but I did not get it. I am not sure if only one notice was issued or if a follow-up notice was sent but I did not receive either. I need to reimbursed. I have my receipt where I paid for the repair.

From the driver’s statement to the police on the day of the accident (from the police report): “I was trying to park my car… there were some cars in front and back but there was a lot of space. All of a sudden my car jumped and rushed and suddenly go fast. It went forward at a fast speed. I didn't see anyone else because I was trying to keep the car in the street and [not] going into any other cars. I had crossed the street down, I don’t know what cross street. At the cross street my car hit another car. ” from a witness statement to the police (from the police report): “I observed a . . . Sedan coming from the north squealing its tires, racing past us spreading smoke. The woman behind the wheel appeared agitated and was attempting to get around the sedan to her left… she passed the car at . . . And appeared to pick up speed. ” from another witness statement to the police (from the police report): “while there, he heard the sound of tires screeching north on his location. He immediately looked behind him and observed that v1 was approaching southbound . . . Creating a cloud of grey smoke due to its front tires spinning. ” from another witness statement to the police (from the police report) “the tire of the vehicle was smoking and left skid marks on the road. ”.

2006 Honda Accord bought new in 2007 46k miles. A/c stopped blowing cold air, took it to dealer because of extended warranty. Was told repair would not be covered by warranty because condenser was puncture by road hazard. Car has not been in wreck nor has anything been run over, was told a small rock puncture the condenser. Internet search on this issue has returned multiple sites and message boards claiming the same issue and that Honda is not covering repairs. Obviously there is a design flaw in their vehicles. .
