ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. MECHANIC I SPOKE TO SAID THE WINDOW REGULATOR IS BROKEN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. UP UNTIL THE DAY IT BROKE, THE WINDOW WOULD GET STUCK AND NOT ROLL BACK-UP. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES UNTIL IT BROKE. THE ISSUE, IN MY OPINION, DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE BECAUSE OF ANY WEATHER. THE CAR WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR WAS THE PASSENGER WINDOW EVER TAMPERED WITH OR VANDALIZED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE DAY THE GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. MY CAR'S MAKE/MODEL USES THE GPS NAVIGATION PANEL TO MANUALLY CHANGE INTERNAL FUNCTIONS, ACCESS THE TRIP COMPUTER, ENTER ADDRESSES, ET CETERA. WITHOUT USE OF THE NAVIGATION PANEL, I HAVE SEVERELY LIMITED ACCESS TO MOST OF MY CAR'S ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONS. THE NAVIGATION GETS STUCK ON THE START-UP SCREEN (SOMETHING THAT LOOKS BLUE/BLACK WITH WORDS 'HONDA'), AND NEVER GETS TO THE SECOND WARNING SCREEN (ORANGE TEXT ON BLACK), WHERE ONE CAN PUSH 'OK ON THE TOUCH SCREEN. WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARMER, SOMETIMES I CAN PUSH THIS OK BUTTON TO GET INTO THE CONTROLS. I USUALLY HAVE 30 SECONDS UNTIL IT FAILS AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING ISSUES ARE PRESENT: 1) CDS; I CANNOT SELECT A CD TO LISTEN TO. I CAN EJECT/PUT CDS IN, BUT I CAN ONLY CHANGE SONGS USING THE CONTROLS ON MY STEERING WHEEL. 2) CLIMATE CONTROL/TEMPERATURE CONTROL: I CANNOT SWITCH FROM THE A/C TO HEAT. I CAN ONLY ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE UP/DOWN, RECIRCULATE AIR, OR TURN ON FRONT/REAR DEFROST. FOR ANY TEMPERATURE SETTING, WHEN I PUSH THE 'OFF' BUTTON, I CANNOT TURN THE SAME SETTING BACK ON WITH THE 'AUTO' BUTTON. IF I PUSH THE 'AUTO' BUTTON, IT RECALLS SOME RANDOM LAST TEMPERATURE SETTINGS, USUALLY A VERY COLD A/C SETTING (WHICH I NEVER PROGRAMMED OR DESIRED). 3) MAPS; I CAN'T ENTER ANY ADDRESSES, THEREFORE, THE NAVIGATION IS USELESS. IF IT MAGICALLY WORKS, IT TURNS OFF SHORTLY AFTER AN ADDRESS IS ENTERED. THE NAVI 'LOCK-UP' SITUATION I DESCRIBED HERE HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR OVER A YEAR OR SO. WEATHER DOES AFFECT IT. MY RESEARCH CONCLUDES THAT MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAD THIS ISSUE. MANY WERE TOLD BY HONDA DIRECTLY THAT HONDA DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS, AND TO CONTACT ALPINE, THE MANUFACTURER OF THE GPS NAVI. MOST CUSTOMERS WHO DID THIS WERE TOLD TO SEND THEIR WHOLE CD/DVD READER UNIT TO ALPINE FOR REPAIR, WHICH COSTS SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A HONDA ACCORD V6 2005 MODEL CAR AND MAINTENANCE DONE AS PER MANUALS. I AM NOW GETTING JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING OR AFTER STARTING AND PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE GEAR.THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON NOW. I DID A CODE SCAN AND GETTING CODE P0741. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION POWER. I DID SOME GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT HONDA HAD THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THIS MODEL AND LOT OF CAR WERE RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. I FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 11V395000 ADDRESSING SIMILAR PROBLEM AND AS OF 23RD SEPTEMBER 2014, 1.5 MILLION (1512107) VEHICLES HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUE.THE HONDA RECALL NUMBER IS R89 AND THE RECALL WAS PLACED ON AUGUST 27TH 2011, FOR HONDA ACCORDS 2005-2010 FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THIS ISSUE IS TRANSMISSION POWER IS NOT WORKING AS EXPECTED AND IT JERKS WHILE CHANGING GEAR OR SPEED. THIS IS DANGEROUS FROM DRIVING SAFETY POINT OF VIEW. I NEED HELP BY THE NHTSA AS I STRONGLY FEEL THAT MY CASE IS GENUINE AND WITH REFERENCE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 11V395000, MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS RECALL BY AMERICAN HONDA. ON THAT NOTE, I DO HOPE TO RECEIVE A RESOLUTION RESPONSE , IN A TIMELY MANNER, FROM YOUR EXECUTIVE TEAM OR SOMEONE ELSE THAT IS IN A POSITION TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
OWNER:I HIT A DIP WITH THIS ACCORD 3.0 WITH VTEC ENGINE WAS DRIVING DOWN STREET WHEN CAR MADE FUNNY NOISE AND THE STEERING GOT HARD TO TURN. PULLED OVER AND FOUND POWER STEERING WAS LEAKING. DROVE IT TO SHOP ORDERED HOSE THEN DROPPED HOSE WITH FLUID AT REPAIR SHOP. TECHNICIAN: POWER STEERING HOSE BROKE HARD AND OLD LEAKING FLUID EVERYWHERE CAUSING CERPINTINE BELT COME OFF. THE HARDENED POWER STEERING HOSE BROKE DUE TO FACT THAT BREAKING OF 2 PASSENGER SIDE MOTOR MOUNT TO BRACKET BOLTS IN BRACKET CAUSING ENGINE TO RAISE DURING ACCELERATION AND PULLING ON HOSES. CAR DROVE IN OK. AFTER REPLACING BRACKET AND HOSE NOTICED WATER LEAKING FROM BEHIND TIMING BELT AND REMOVED TOP COVER. FOUND WATER PUMP LEAKING WEEP HOLE AND FOUND IDLER PULLEY AND BOLT CAME LOOSE AND FELL OFF.(IDLER PULLEY HAS A SPECIAL BOLT WITH WASHER END THAT IF DONT WIGGLE THE PULLY WHILE TIGHTENING CAN TIGHTEN PULLEY TWEAKED AND NOT COMPLETE ALSO USE LOCTITE) ALSO FOUND THE HARMONIC BALANCER BOLT TO BE OVER TORQUED MAKING IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITHOUT SPECIAL OCTAGON HOLDING TOOL. OF COURSE CUSTOMER DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW SO MANY THINGS ARE WRONG WHEN ALL HE SAW WAS BROKEN POWER STEERING HOSE.(WHICH WHEN FLUID LEAKS CAN ALSO CATCH CAR ON FIRE) NOW WE SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT OF WATER PUMP AND TIMING KIT BUT CUSTOMER WANTS VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND FEELS WE CREATED THESE OTHER PROBLEMS ON PURPOSE WHICH LEFT ME NO CHOICE BUT TO DO LABOR FOR FREE JUST TO PROVE IM NOT! THE LIFT OF ENGINE AND FLUID LEAK CAUSED SEVERAL BUSHINGS TO COME APART. HE MUST HAVE HIT DIP HARD.

AIR BAGS
THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN COMPLAINT NUMBERS 10651654, 10652518, 10659813, 10717673, AND 10722366. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. IT CONTINUES TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED INDEFINITELY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. HOWEVER, UPON RESTART IT LIGHTS BRIEFLY AND THEN GOES OFF, WHICH APPEARS TO BE NORMAL OPERATION. THE INTERMITTENT NATURE OF THE PROBLEM MEANS IT CAN'T BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. HOWEVER, OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM FIRST APPEARS ABOUT 2013 OR EARLY 2014 AND HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR THEREAFTER. PLEASE NOTE THE STRIKINGLY HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL. FIVE OF THE FIFTEEN COMPLAINTS DEAL WITH EXACT ISSUE, AND TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS (10567527 AND 10567640) REPORT THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY IN ACCIDENTS IN WHICH THEY CERTAINLY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THUS ALMOST HALF OF THE COMPLAINTS DEAL WITH AIRBAG OPERATION FAILURE. NOTE ALSO THAT THIS IS ON A RELATIVELY LOW-VOLUME MODEL. ONLY ABOUT 25,000 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID 2005 WERE SOLD IN THE US. UNLIKE MOST 2005 HONDA ACCORDS, THIS MODEL (THE HYBRID) WAS MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN, NOT THE US, AND THUS HAS MANY DIFFERENT PART SUPPLIERS. I ALSO NOTICE THAT THIS MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT APPARENTLY HAS A TAKATA AIRBAG SYSTEM.

SERVICE BRAKES
HAVE NOTED ON A FEW OCCASIONS THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS NOT ACTIVATED WHEN A CAR HAS BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT OR FOR EXTENDED DURATION OF TIME. WHAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS IS THAT I START THE VEHICLE AND SHIFT IT INTO GEAR AND PROCEED. HOWEVER, IF I HAVE TO BRAKE WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR, THE BRAKE BOOSTER APPEARS TO NOT BE WORKING AND I AM LEFT USING MANUAL BRAKES ESSENTIALLY SINCE THE VACUUM BOOST IS NOT WORKING. ONCE THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE BRAKE BOOSTER STARTS WORKING NORMALLY. BECAUSE OF THIS INTERMITTENT BEHAVIOR, I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED INTO THINGS WHILE BACKING UP OR DRIVING FORWARD SINCE THE POWER BRAKES WERE ESSENTIALLY NOT WORKING IN THOSE SCENARIOS. I HAVE CHECKED THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE NORMAL. BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT SINK DURING NORMAL OPERATION, NOR DOES THERE APPEAR TO BE A LEAK IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHEN I PRIME/PUMP THE BRAKE WHILE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE, I HAVE FOUND A TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS TO START THE CAR AND PUMP THE BRAKES FIRST BEFORE GOING. THE BRAKES WILL LOSE THE VACUUM BOOST IN THE INITIAL 2-3 PUMPS AND THEN AFTER A FEW MORE PUMPS WILL GET THE NORMAL VACUUM ASSIST BACK. I HAVE GONE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM IF THERE ARE ANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ISSUE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE NONE. I KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF THE HONDA INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST IN THEIR HYBRID VEHICLES, THERE IS AN EXTRA VACUUM SWITCH MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE BRAKE BOOSTER SO THAT IT CAN TURN THE ENGINE BACK ON DURING IDLE-STOP TO RESTORE BRAKE BOOSTING. I SUSPECT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT 3-WAY JOINT THAT IS CAUSING INITIAL LOSS OF VACUUM. ONLINE FORUMS HAVE INDICATED POTENTIAL PREMATURE FAILURE IN THE BRAKE VACUUM HOSES.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AUTO EXPERIENCED "STICKY ACCELERATOR"/"SUDDEN ACCELERATION" PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN ENGINE COLD. NECESSARY TO APPLY EXCESS PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR TO GET CAR ROLLING FROM STATIONARY. IN ONE INCIDENT, CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED PUSHING THE WHEEL OVER A PARKING SPACE WHEEL STOP AND INTO A FENCE POST CAUSING MODERATE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. LOCAL SAN JOSE, CA HONDA DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND CLAIMED IT COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM.

AIRBAG SRS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. SOME 2005 HONDA ACCORDS WERE COVERED IN THE HONDA RECALL Q31, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. MY PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE Q31 RECALL, BUT HONDA AMERICA REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM, IT SHOULD BE REPORTED AS TO THE NHTSA.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE RECENTLY BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH MY HONDA WHERE IT SUDDENLY STALLS WHILE MOVING. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED SOME CLICKING NOISES AND SURGES AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2011 FOR HONDA TO REPLACE THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE); HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL AND I BELIEVE I AM NOW EXPERIENCE THE VERY PROBLEMS THAT THE RECALL FIX WAS TO RESOLVE. I AM SEEING THE VERY COMPLAINT ON YOUR SITE FROM OTHERS WHO ALSO HAVE HONDA ACCORDS FOR THE SAME YEAR OTHERS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED AND THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY INDICATION OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL. THE ENGINE BEGAN REVVING, AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I APPLIED THE BRAKES, PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I THEN RESTARTED THE CAR, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE VEHICLE BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS TOWARD TRAFFIC LINED UP BEHIND ME. I THEN REAPPLIED THE BRAKE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND AGAIN SHUT THE CAR OFF. DUE TO CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA, THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO, SO I WAS STRANDED BLOCKING TRAFFIC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT OF A GROCERY STORE. I WAS ON MY HOME FROM WORK AND HAD STOPPED TO PURCHASE A FEW ITEMS. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. I HAD BEEN IN THE STORE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WHEN I HEARD THE LOUDSPEAKER ASKING FOR THE OWNER OF A 2005 GOLD HONDA ACCORD TO COME TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE COUNTER. WHEN I APPROACHED THE PERSON BEHIND THE COUNTER, HE ASKED ME TO LOOK OUTSIDE TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE ON FIRE WAS, IN FACT, MY CAR. SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE OF MY CAR AND TWO VEHICLES FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE TRYING TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. HONDA INSISTED IT WAS MY FAULT, BUT I FOUND OUT MUCH LATER THAT ENGINE FIRES HAD OCCURRED IN OTHER 2005 ACCORDS. STATE FARM GAVE ME THE REPLACEMENT VALUE FOR THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO PURCHASE A CAR OF EQUAL VALUE. THE HONDA ACCORD WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I FELT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPENSATED FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF THE CAR. PLUS, IF THE FIRE HAD OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, I MIGHT NOT BE HERE WRITING THIS LETTER TO YOU. I WAS JUST RECENTLY MADE AWARE OF SOME OF THE RECALLS FROM HONDA FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM AND COMPENSATE ME FAIRLY FOR MY LOSS. I HAVE THE VIN NUMBER AND ALL OF THE PAPERWORK FROM STATE FARM, INCLUDING PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE TO CAR TAKEN AFTER THE FIRE. *TR

SO I WENT TO PUT CAR INTO PARK AND THERE WAS A REALLY LOUD NOISE WHICH SCARED ME CRAZY. I CUT THE CAR BACK OFF AND IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS IN THE PARK GEAR SO I HAD TO PUT THE CAR EMERGENCY BREAK ON TO KEEP IN PLACE. MONDAY MORNING WHICH I'D TODAY I GET MY CAR TOWED TO AAMCO AND THEY DIAGNOSTIC MY CAR AS A SHAFT FAILURE WHICH HAD BROKEN WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO MAKE THE LOUD NOISE WHEN PLACED IN THE PARK GEAR AND THE CAR DOESN'T REALIZE WHICH GEAR IT'S IN BECAUSE IT IS BROKEN INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION
