ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
INITIALLY ONLY THE DRIVERS DOOR AND RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD LOCK OR UNLOCK, WHETHER INSIDE THE CAR, USING THE KEY, OR USING THE KEY FOB. BEGINNING YESTERDAY, ALL THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NEITHER LOCK NOR UNLOCK USING ANY OF THE PREVIOUSLY MENTINOED METHODS, THE LIGHTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR WILL NOT TURN OFF, AND THE DASH SYMBOL SHOWING ALL DOORS AJAR STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. I INITALLY ASSUMED IT WAS THE DOOR ACTUATORS BUT AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, IT SEEMS TO POINT TOWARDS AN ISSUE REGARDING THREE RELAYS WHICH ARE SOLDERED ON WHAT'S CALLED A MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT LOCATED UNDER THE DASH ON THE LEFT. SAFETY ISSUE IS I CAN'T LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON 12/23/2016 HAD TROUBLE WITH CAR HESITATING, STALLING THEN NOT STARTING, WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. CAR TOWED TO HONDA DEALER IN BURLINGTON, MA. THEY REPLACED STARTER MOTOR FOR $574.60 AND ON 12/29/2016 AFTER I PICKED UP THE CAR, WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER. EVENTUALLY MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT WHERE CAR BUCKED, STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. TOWED BACK TO HONDA IN BURLINGTON. THEY "CLEANED OUT DEBRIS IN MAF SENSOR" AND SAID "ONE OF THE CABLES ON THE THROTTLE BODY IS BROKEN AND MAY CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM" SUGGESTED $819.00 REPAIR. CAR RAN OK UNTIL 9/19/2017 WHEN AGAIN COULD NOT ACCELERATE ON HIGHWAY. WAS TRAVELLING IN THE FAST LANE BUT MANAGED TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS HIGHWAY CRASH FOR THE SECOND TIME. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND AN APRIL, 2007 RECALL RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IN CERTAIN 2005 HONDA ACCORDS. I SEARCHED THE NHTSA FOR MY VIN AND FOUND THERE ARE 0 RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY CAR. HOWEVER, MY CAR DID, IN FACT, HAVE A DEFECTIVE MITSUBA RELAY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I AM EXTREMELY LUCKY. SOMETHING IS WRONG THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY FRONT PASSENGER POWER WINDOW AND THE TWO BACK WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THEY CANNOT BE OPENED. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA ACCORDS. IT IS DANGEROUS. THEY JUST STOPPED ONE DAY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON WAS ON BUT I WAS NOT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. HAVEN'T USED IT IN A COUPLE WEEKS BUT THE BUTTON WAS SHOWING ON THE DASH. I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE GAS PETAL TO SLOW DOWN AND THE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING. FIRST I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND THAT SLOWED THE CAR DOWN CONSIDERABLE BUT I I COULD TEL IT WAS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND I DIDN'T WANT TO WEAR OUT THE BRAKES AND HAVE NO WAY OF STOPPING SO I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND TRIED JIGGLING THE GAS WITH MY FOOT THINKING IT WAS STUCK OR BLOCKED AND IT WASN'T. IT FELT LIKE HOW THE GAS PEDAL FEELS WHEN IT'S IN CRUISE CONTROL JUST KIND OF JIGGLING AS YOU PRESS IT. SO I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON OFF DID AND IT WAS STILL ACCELERATING SO I PUT TH CAR IN NEUTRAL IT REVVED UP TO A VERY HIGH RPM CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS FULL THROTTLE DID THAT FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS WHILE I BRAKED AND SLOWED THE CAR DOWN THEN IT STOPPED REVVING AND AFTER I STOPPED FOR S COUPLE MINUTES I DROVE AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE THE REST OF THE DAY. I WAS GOING ABOUT 65 WHEN IT GOT STUCK AND IT GOT UP TO HIGH 70S BEFORE I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND GOT IT DOWN TO 60 THEN IT BEGAN ACCELERATING AGAIN AND GOT UP TO LIKE 70 BEFORE I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. IF SOMEONE ELSE WAS DRIVING AND DIDN'T THINK TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WE LIVE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS AREA. ONE RECENT WEEKEND, MY WIFE AND I WERE IN MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD DRIVING ON AN UNOCCUPIED ROAD (LIGHT WEEKEND TRAFFIC AND NO ONE WITHIN 1000 YARDS). MY WIFE AND I HEARD A HUGE EXPLOSION. WE WERE IN MOTION AT THE TIME AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAR, BUT WE KNEW IT WAS POWERFUL. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE EXPLOSION, WE HEARD A RUSH OF AIR AND WHEN OPENING THE SUNROOF COVER (MOVED BACKWARDS), WE WERE RAINED WITH BROKEN GLASS PARTICLES (ANYWHERE FROM 1MM TO 1INCH). THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND THE PIECES WERE VERY DANGEROUS. THANK GOODNESS FOR THE COVER THAT CAUGHT MOST OF DEBRIS. HAD WE HAD THAT OPEN, IT'D HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC RESULT. WE DO NOT FEEL ANYTHING CONTACTED THE ROOF AND CAN ONLY SURMISE THAT EITHER A MAJOR PRESSURE CHANGE OCCURRED, A SIGNIFICANT TEMP CHANGE OCCURRED, OR A STRUCTURAL CHANGE CAUSED THE SUNROOF TO EXPLODE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENTS AND IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. THE SUNROOF WAS FUNCTIONAL PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, BUT USED VERY LITTLE. I HAD TO ORDER ANOTHER SUNROOF AND CUT MYSELF SERIOUSLY WHILE TRYING TO INSTALL THIS UNIT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
"SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" IN A PRIVATE PARKING. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE DRIVER WAS ABOUT TO PARK THE CAR ON FEB 27, 2017. I WAS THE DRIVER AND MY HUSBAND WAS A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE BACK SEAT, WITH SEAT BELTS ON. AFTER I ENTERED THE PARKING AREA, AS I WAS ABOUT TO PARK, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SPED UP, CRASHED INTO THE BUILDING AHEAD OF ME, AND THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE BUILDING WALL WERE DAMAGED (PHOTOS ARE ENCLOSED). ALL THIS HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. SEVERAL PEOPLE FROM INSIDE THE BUILDING RUSHED OUT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS VISIBLY SHAKEN AND QUITE FRIGHTENED BY THIS ACCIDENT. THE BUSINESS OFFICE STAFF TOOK PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGED WALL AND THE VEHICLE. MY TWO THUMBS WERE ACHING WITH MINOR BURN, BUT SINCE THERE WAS NO OTHER OBVIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY TO US, WE DECLINED THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. STATE POLICE TROOPER CAME, TOOK SOME INFORMATION BUT SAID THAT BECAUSE THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN A PRIVATE PROPERTY IT WILL NOT BE REPORTED. I HAD NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING LIKE THIS ACCIDENT COULD EVER HAPPEN. I GOOGLED AND FOUND CASES IN WHICH UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAD ACTUALLY HAPPENED. HASN'T THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEEN ADDRESSED? MY HUSBAND I ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR.
