UNKNOWN OR OTHER
STARTED HAVING TROUBLE GETTING KEY IN LOCK APPROX. 3/1/15. PROGRESSED TO NOT BEING ABLE TO GET KEY IN DOOR AT ALL AROUND 5/1/15. SERVICED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 5/7/15 WITH LOCK CYLINDER AND ARRANGED TUMBLERS FOR ORIGINAL KEY. WORKED OKAY UNTIL 6/20/15. AT THIS TIME I INSERTED MY KEY, BUT KEY WOULD NOT TURN TO UNLOCK MY DOOR. ENTERED THE PASSENGER DOOR AND TRIED TO UNLOCK DOOR MANUALLY BY PULLING UP DOOR LOCK - WOULD NOT BUDGE. AFTER I CRAWLED ACROSS THE CENTER CONSOLE I GIGGLED DOOR A FEW TIMES AND WAS ABLE TO PULL UP DOOR LOCK. DROVE HOME AND TRIED OPENING DOOR WITH KEY AND IT WORKED FINE. TODAY, 6/22/15 WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM THE STORE I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND LOCKED THE DOOR. WHEN I REALIZED THAT I HAD LOCKED IT I TRIED TO UNLOCK IT WITH THE KEY. AGAIN, THE KEY WOULD GO IN, BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. CALLED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ACTUATOR. I KNOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AFTER GOING ON LINE THAT THIS IS A LONG STANDING PROBLEM THAT HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF, BUT OBVIOUSLY WAS UNWILLING TO RECALL AND FIX. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILLED, HOWEVER I WAS UNAWARE OF IT AND MY 2005 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SUIT. SINCE THIS IS STILL AN ONGOING PROBLEM IT IS LONG PAST TIME FOR HONDA TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THESE ACTUATORS AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STRUCTURE:BODY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS VEHICLE CAUSES AN ACCIDENT DUE TO INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION DEFECT. I WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP TO PARK THE CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND SPED INTO A BUILDING. FIRST IT HIT AN IRON BENCH PUSHING IT INTO THE WALL. THE CAR MISSED HITTING A YOUNG MOTHER AND HER FOUR LITTLE KIDS BY MERE SECONDS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SENT ONE OF THEIR OWN ADJUSTERS TO INSPECT THE DAMAGES, AND DETERMINED THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED. IN THE MEANTIME THE PEOPLE AT THE BODY SHOP WHERE THE CAR WAS TOWED TO KEPT TELLING ME THAT THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO BE PUT ON THE ROAD AGAIN. I PLEADED WITH MY INSURER TO HAVE IT TOTALED AS I WAS TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AFTER TWO ACCIDENTS, AND MY CONSCIENCE DID NOT ALLOW ME TO SELL THE CAR AFTER THE REPAIRS PUTTING SOMEBODY ELSE IN SAME KIND OF DANGER. I ALSO CALLED HONDA, BUT THEIR REPLY WAS THAT HONDA WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HONDA FOLKS WERE EVEN ANNOYED THAT I CALLED THEM SAYING THAT MY INSURER WAS THE ONE TO CONTACT THEM THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS. FINALLY MY INSURANCE AGREED TO TOTAL THE CAR. HOWEVER, I SAW THAT THE CAR WAS SOLD TO AN AUCTION DEALER LISTING IT AS "SALVAGE TITLE/REBUILDABLE." THE CAR IS FOR SALE AGAIN STATING THAT IT WILL COST $4,872.00 TO FIX IT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY INCREASED MY PREMIUMS CONSIDERABLY CONSIDERING ME THE PARTY AT FAULT. I ASK NHTSA TO ACT QUICKLY TO STOP THIS UNSAFE AND UNFAIR PRACTICE.....UPDATED 08/20/15 *BF UPDATED 9/30/2015*JS

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER CRANKING THE CAR THE GEARSHIFT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO PRY THE CAP OFF THE SLOT TO THE LEFT OF THE P AND STICK A SCREWDRIVER IN TO RELEASE THE GEARSHIFT AND THEN PULL IT DOWN TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE CAR WOULD THEN CRANK AND SHIFT LIKE NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE BUT ALWAYS IN THE WINTER. IT HAS HAPPENED IN BOTH MICHIGAN AND ARKANSAS. I ALWAYS FEAR THAT ONE DAY IT WON'T RELEASE AND I WILL BE STUCK SOMEWHERE.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
SIMILAR ISSUE AS REPORT 10659813. THE AIRBAG/SEATBELT LIGHT ABOVE THE GAS GAUGE RANDOMLY STAYS LIT. DOESN'T HAPPEN EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS USED, AND OCCURS MORE IN COLD WEATHER THAN WARM. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME STATES THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THEM WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON. THIS SITUATION DOES NOT HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY ENOUGH TO ALLOW US TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON.

STRUCTURE:BODY, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AS I WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, PARKING, THE CAR SPED UP INVOLUNTARILY. I KEPT PRESSING ON THE BRAKES, BUT IT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE UNTIL THE CAR WAS STOPPED BY HITTING A BUILDING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER INSPECTED THE BRAKES WHILE THE CAR WAS AT THE BODY SHOP, AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED, AND I CONTINUED DRIVING IT. THE INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN, BUT I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT BECAUSE I WAS NOT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND IT ADJUSTED ITS SPEED AGAIN. UNTIL...I HAD ANOTHER ACCIDENT EIGHT YEARS LATER DUE TO NONE OTHER THAN INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION. SEE A SEPARATE COMPLAINT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MAY 4, 2015, 2005 HONDA ACCORD V6 STALLED AND ALL SYSTEMS NON-FUNCTIONAL WHILE DRIVING. ACCORD REAR-ENDED A CAR AT REST AT A STOP SIGN. IN NOVEMBER 2011, THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT ON FREEWAY. VEHICLE STAYED ON AND I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY COAST OFF THE FREEWAY, BUT DRIVE TRAIN WAS OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (105K MILES). THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OTHER NHTSA REPORTS. IN APRIL, 2011 THE ACCORD BEGAN STALLING AND ALL SYSTEMS FAILED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND MOVING. IN MAY, 2012 THE DCH HONDA OF TEMECULA FOUND FAULTY THROTTLE SENSOR AND REPLACED THE PART. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL THIS FAILURE AND ACCIDENT. I SEE SEVERAL REPORTS OF ACCORDS STALLING ON THIS SITE. IS THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM? MY DAUGHTER WAS FORTUNATE THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN APPROACHING ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR THE FREEWAY. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ENTERED CALDECOTT TUNNEL IN BERKELEY, CA. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO AND THE RPMS SHOT UP TO 6500. I HAD NOWHERE TO GO AS I WAS IN A 2 LANE TUNNEL. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND SLOWED TO A STOP. THIS FREEWAY HAS A VERY HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC AND I WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET CREAMED BY SOMEONE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT THAT CAME ON. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. I WAS "PULLED" OUT OF THE TUNNEL BY A VERY NICE MAN WHO STOPPED TO HELP ME. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO TELLS ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DONE. THIS IS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD V6 AND AFTER RESEARCHING, I SEE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. I PLAN ON CALLING HONDA TO SEE WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR
