ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HELLO, I AM VERY UPSET/CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE AN 2005 HONDA ACCORD. I KNOW MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT YEARS OF AN ACCORD ALONG WITH ONE PERSON WITH AN 05. WE ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH OUR WINDOWS ROLLING UP AND DOWN. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ISSUE SINE 2010, AND BROKE DOWN AND PAID FOR THE REPAIR TODAY. THE MAIN SWITCH WENT OUT IN THE CAR. THE MAIN WINDOW WORKS BUT THE REST OF THE WINDOWS DON'T WORK. WHY IS THIS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL? SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD OF PAID FOR THE REPAIR TODAY, HOWEVER I HAD NO CHOICE. I THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING HONDA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO, ALSO THE FACTORY STEREOS. MY STEREO WENT OUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, I HAVE ONLY ONE PERSON THAT EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, BUT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. *TR
