I have owned a 2005 Honda Accord since sept. 2005. Both of the car key casements have broken without abuse during this time. Now that may seem trivial, but they do so without warning due to extremely bad design/engineering. They seem to have been designed to fail. To replace them I have been told that each key would cost $67 and the programming another $88. Without the case being attached to the key, the ignition will not operate. If someone were somewhere in the country along way from civilization, what would one do? this is why I am complaining, and why this is a safety issue. The price for replacement is also outrageous.

Took my car in for a regular oil change. Hours later I received a phone call from the service advisor asking me, if I had time so he could talk to me regarding my car. I said, yes and the service advisor from Honda dealership went on to tell me that I needed my transmission fluid changed, brake fluid changed, and my engine coolant changed. The total amount of cost came to $500. 29 which I thought I was being ripped off. The Honda service advisor also went on to tell me that I need to have my front struts replaced because they are bad. I noticed when I would make a right hand turn I would hear a squeaky noise. He confirmed that it was my front struts. I ask the service advisor how long does it normally take for struts to wear out he told me around 80,000-100,000 miles well my 2003 Honda Accord ex only have 48,000 miles on it. I'm assuming that I probably started off with bad struts in the beginning since I had my Honda Accord ex, I have had nothing but problems. Now, that my car is out of warranty I'm hit with a huge fee to get struts replaced on a car which I think was bad in the first place. My Honda Accord ex was originally purchased by me in December of 2002. I have been the only driver of the car. At this time I would never purchase another Honda Accord. I used to have an 2000 Honda Accord ex never had a problem. Since I have had this car there have been recalls on my car. I have had problems with the door latches, inside panel on passenger side coming off. Sunroof rubber coming unglued. I had to have the windshield replaced bad wipers which scratched the windshield up. New radio system. Trouble with the lights for the heated seats, dash board lights went out. Radio lights went out. I was sold a complete lemon. I believe Honda should look into my maintenance record and see all the problems I have had with this car and really consider replacing the struts for me. I do not have an extended warranty it's going to cost me $700.

This is a factory clearcoat failure. 2004 Honda Accord exl, red. Within two years, the clearcoat had started to peel. In the third year, I contacted the Honda main offices with my complaint. After having two insurance adjusters, a body shop, and an auto paint salesman look at the car and in every case, their opinion is that this failure is a factory defect. Honda repeatedly refuses to take that responsibility. The peeling clearcoat is spreading like a disease eating away at it.

2004 Honda Accord exl with red paint. Clear coat began to peel in places all over the car. I contacted Honda and after several letters and phone calls back and forth, they are not willing to accept responsibility for a factory failure.

The nearest crop duster is 150 miles away and the area where I live is lakes and mountains.

The particle board covering the tire is warped now. Since Honda claims it did not leak, there is nothing I can do.

The dealer told me it was normal when I first officially complained at 7,000 miles, but as time has passed, the noise has gotten worse. The dealer has attempted to fix it 5 times, but has not yet found a solution. With some research, I discovered a Honda service bulletin (03-058) that states body welds were improperly finished during the manufacturing process, and that the structure must be re-welded. My dealer told me there was "excess flex" in the body of my car, and as a result, multiple squeaks and rattles are developing. I believe this is a severe structural fault that is putting my safety at risk in the case of a crash and will continue to cause damage to my car due to body flex for years to come. I have requested that Honda replace the car.

I purchased my Honda Accord lx v6 on August 9, 2003. After a week of driving, I noticed that the right corner near the dash board's generating a rattle noise whenever I go over an uneven road. I took it into the dealership and they said they can not figure it out. They believe it's the plastic rubbing against plastic. However, I don't think that's the case since it doesn't sound like rubbing noise and more like something is loose inside the ventilation or the airbag area ??? I also have a very annoying rattling sound coming out of the center radio area. Whenever I go over an rail tracks or really uneven roads, the rattle noise will start. I often had to push the plastic in a little bit just to make it stop for few second. It's getting to the point were it is unbearable !!! of course, when I took it into the dealership, they told me they couldn't generate that noise. Lastly, my front driver window and rear right side window is making a rattling noise. I think I see a lot of people on this site is stating something about a pillar clips ??? I wonder if that the cause of the window noises ??? anyways, I just want you to know that I am very disappointed at the quality of Honda and I especially hate when I have dealership service manager telling me if I turn my music loud enough, I will not hear the noise. You tell me, is that a good answer for you if it is your car that is having these kind of problems ???!!! p. S. I have always owned a Honda. However, since I can no longer believe in the quality of Honda vehicles, this will be my last Honda I will ever buy in my life.

I have a 2003 Honda Accord purchased in March 03. The left rear and right front is leaking water. We don't know exactly when this started but noticed it on may 3rd. Dealer has been unable to fix as of now and now car is smelling like mold. Concerned about mold now that it smells. Techs at dealer have not been able to fix. Honda motor corp. Was called by me and dealer but they have been no help. I know that it's dangerous to breathe in mold so I am now afraid that since they haven't fixed and don't know were it's leaking from that there could be mold that I am not seeing.

Sum up the six time report, I have two times code 0700 and two times code 1705. I called Honda because they authorized this dealer to sell thie car, however, they told me since the dealer do the modification on the car (add the auto starter in the car), they don't responsible on any problem that related to autostarter, even they authorized tham to sell their car. Then I talk to the assistant manager, he is very sacratic, he ask me the detail how I use the autostarter, my answer was perfect, seem to be nothing wrong. As well as he told me the last engine light on was a year ago, I told me I have not use the autostarter for a year, because I decided to leave my baby with my mother-in-law, but I use the autostarter recently. Then he blame me, perhap it could be as simple as losing the gas cap, or you use pc or cellphone in the car trigger the engine light. Then I ask him what is the list of action I cannot do in the car, he told me he has the list, but he cannot find it.

The paint on my new Honda with paint protection, literally started to blister and "ulcer" down to the primer level within 10 months of purchase. None of the other cars, parked in the same area, are suffering the same damage. I have had two auto body restorers look at it, as the damage has spread on the hood, and has started on the driver's side door. In one case, the ulceration has gone down to the base metal. Honda and the dealership, ourisman Honda, have refused to help, blame "superbirds," ignore the professional opinions of the restorers, and have refused to honor both the Honda and paint protection warranties. The auto restorers believe the defect is with the prep or the paint itself, and that other Honda owners may be suffering from the same problem. The entire care has to be repainted at an estimated cost of $3500.
