SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
ON TWO KNOWN OCCASIONS THE PASSENGER REAR SEAT OF MY VEHICLE IS SATURATED AFTER DRIVING ON WET ROADWAYS. I AM USUALLY THE ONLY PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE AND BOTH TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED I WAS TRANSPORTING OTHER PERSONS THAT NOTICED THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT IN TO BE REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A SEAL THAT WASN'T FASTENED PROPERLY AT THE ASSEMBLY OF THE CAR. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MENTIONED, A HARNESS, GROMMETS AND SOME TYPE OF SEAL. THIS SECOND TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THEY FOUND THE SEAL WAS AGAIN NOT PROPER. I HAVE CONCERNS OF MOLD, MILDEW AND OTHER POTENTIAL WATER DAMAGE. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS RARE THAT I WOULD NOTICE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE MAINLY TRANSPORTS MYSELF AND RARELY OTHERS, THAT WOULD NOTICE THE PROBLEM.*AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER POWER SEATS HAVE FORWARD MOVEMENT WHEN STOPPING. NOTICED THIS A FEW WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE CAR. THERE IS ABOUT A 1/2 INCH MOVEMENT IN THE SEATS.AT FIRST DEALER TRIED TO SAY THIS WAS NORMAL. DEALER HAS REPLACED SEAT RAILS ONE TIME,FIXED PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. PROBLEM RETURNED AND GOT WORSE. I SPOKE WITH DISTRICT REP HE TOLD DEALER TO REPLACE SEAT RAILS AGAIN. DEALER HAD CAR FOR 1 WEEK BUT DID NOT REPLACE RAILS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TWO MORE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE SEAT, SAYS THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND IS WORKING ON A FIX. DEARLER ADDS THAT THIS FIX COULD TAKE UP TO 6 MO. TO A YEAR, JUST NOT SURE WHEN THEY WILL HAVE A FIX.. I AM AFFRAID IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THESE SEATS COULD BREAK LOOSE. IN MY MIND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
2004 HONDA ACCORD LX 4 CYL. AUTOMATIC 4 DOOR 4533 MILES EY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGINITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. EACH TIME I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM OF THIS EVENT. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN, BUT THEY NEED TO SEE THE KEY NOT COME OUT OF THE CAR TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IF IT CAME OUT THEN BRING IT IN THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM. EACH TIME I WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH KEY REMOVAL AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF PLAY. I WOULD BE ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON. I WOULD DRIVE AROUND, COME BACK PARK, PLAY WITH KEY,GIGGLE KEY UP AND DOWN, SIDE TO SIDE, AND STILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY KEY OUT. I MADE SURE THAT I WAS IN PARK, BACK UP GO FORWARD, AND PARK, PULL UP E-BRAKE. I RISKED MY CAR BEING STOLEN BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET THE KEY OUT AT 11:30PM ON 12/5/2004. I PUT MY JACKET OVER MY WHEEL TO COVER IT UP AND LOCKED THE CAR WITH MY SPARE KEY. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER 24 HOURS OF BEING STUCK- IT CAME OUT IN THE SERVICE DRIVE. HONDA HAS HAD 12 COMPLAINTS UP TO DATE. NO RECALL HAS BEEN FORMATTED, NOR HAS THERE BEEN A SUCCESSFUL SOLUTION TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
MY WIFE WAS HIT HEAD ON AT AN INTERSECTION IN A 2004 HONDA ACCORD V-6 (NAV). THE OTHER PERSON WAS AT FAULT. SHE HAD HER SEAT BELT ON. SHE FRACTURED HER L-2 LUMBAR IN THE ACCIDENT BUT HAD "NO" OTHER INJURIES? WE PURCHASED THIS CAR FOR THE SAFETY FACTORS AND THE NAME BRAND HONDA. WE WERE LIFE LONG HONDA PURCHASERS AS THIS WAS THE 2ND BRAND NEW V-6, BUT WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA. MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING APPROX 35 MPH AND THE OTHER PERSON (COMMERCIAL VAN) WAS TRAVELING APPROX45-50 MPH. WHY DID SHE BREAK HER BACK, THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS!!!!!!*AK
