SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 75 MPH. AND THE BRAKES RANDOMLY APPLIED THEM SELF CAUSING MY CAR TO GO FROM 75 TO 60 MPH ALMOST GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA THEY SAID "SCENE THEY CAN NOT GET THE CAR TO DO IT WHILE THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.' I HAVE DONE A TON OF RESEARCH ON HONDAS. FROM 2003 TO 2006 THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT BRAKE PROBLEMS AND RADIO PROBLEMS . THE RADIO IN MY CAR DOES NOT WORK RIGHT IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK RIGHT THE WANT ME TO BUY A NEW AUDIO PART. ALL OF THIS ON MY BUDGET. THE BRAKES ARE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND THE JUST BLOW IT OFF LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. I AM HOPING BY SHARING THIS WITH YOU GUYS SOMETHING WILL BE DONE TO HELP MAKE MY CAR AND OTHER SAFER ON THE ROADS.. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THIS INCIDENT IS CONCERNING MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX V6, VIN (GIVEN ABOVE) . I AM THE FIRST OWNER AND CAR HAS 85000 MILES ON IT. ON 21ST SEPTEMBER 2014 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY TODAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER TURNED ON .THE CAR JUST STOPPED ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE, WHICH WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND I'VE NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE, TIMING BELT, ETC. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, NO LEAKS, NO ENGINE ISSUES AND THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS SOME SORT OF DEFECT WITH THIS AUTOMOBILE WHICH NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MY SITUATION WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND HONDA NEEDS TO STEP-UP TO THE PLATE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM TIME AND TIME AGAIN WITH HONDA'S ESPECIALLY WITH 2005 ACCORD V6 TRANSMISSION FAILURES. ON FURTHER RESEARCH ON NHTSA WEBSITE, 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. I TOOK MY CAR TO, GROSSINGER HONDA, MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY FAILED ALTHOUGH FLUID LEVELS WERE NORMAL. DTC CODES WERE P0741, P0746, AND P0777. HONDA OPENED A CASE AND GAVE ME A CASE NO:N012014-09-22-02450. MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED FROM THIS RECALL AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR ISN'T ONE? 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 . *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS NOT A CHILD SAFETY LOCK ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER A REVIEW OF THE INTERNET. IN A CRASH OR FIRE PASSENGER WOULD HAVE TO CRAWL TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR OR THROUGH A WINDOW TO GET OUT. RESPONDERS WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RADIO, INCLUDING CD, ON 2005 HONDA ACCORD WILL TURN ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO REASON WHILE CAR IS PARKED AND LOCKED WITH NO KEY IN IGNITION. IF RADIO VOLUME IS HIGH AND/OR CD WAS ON WHEN CAR WAS TURNED OFF, THIS WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY, ESPECIALLY IF THE CD PLAYER COMES ON. SEVERAL TIMES THIS KILLED THE BATTERY. WORKAROUND SOLUTION - MAKE SURE VOLUME IS AT ZERO AND RADIO IS OFF BEFORE PARKING CAR. *TR

SEAT BELTS
SRS INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED UPON UNBUCKLING DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WITH ENGINE RUNNING. SRS LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON AFTER PLACING SEAT BELT BACK INTO THE BUCKLE. THE SRS LIGHT WOULD ALSO ILLUMINATE AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING WITH SEAT BELT IN BUCKLE. THE ONLY TEMPORARY SOLUTION WAS TO STOP/START THE ENGINE. HONDA'S DIAGNOSIS WAS A FAULTY SEAT BELT BUCKLE REQUIRING A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT WHICH RESOLVED THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR THE LIFETIME SEAT BELT WARRANTY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AIR BAG RED ICON KEPT COMING ON ON DASH AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED FOR OVER A YEAR. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HONDA DOES NOT CONSIDER LONG ISLAND, NY, A HUMID TERRITORY. HONDA NEEDS TO VISIT LONG ISLAND TO SEE HOW HUMID IT IS. THIS CAR MUST BE USED FOR A ROAD TEST NEXT WEEK AND I MUST NOW PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THE ICON OFF PERMANENTLY AND THE PROBLEM FIXED, AS WELL AS HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPLACED TO ENSURE THEY ARE GOOD. I WOULD LIKE TO GET REIMBURSED. THANK YOU. *JS

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE CLEAR COAT STARTED FALLING OFF MY 05 HONDA ACCORD AT AROUND 105000 MILES (AROUND NOVEMBER OF 2012). HONDA REFUSED TO REPAINT THE VEHICLE BLAMING THE ISSUE ON THE OWNER'S POOR CARE. HOWEVER, IT IS CLEAR THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE OWNER, BUT RATHER WITH THE PAINT HONDA USES. THIS IS EVIDENCED BY THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN WHICH HONDA EXTENDED THE PAINT WARRANTY FOR SEVEN YEARS ON THEIR ODYSSEYS FOR DARKER COLORS INCLUDING "MIDNIGHT PEARL." IT HAPPENS THAT THIS IS THE SAME COLOR WHICH IS CURRENTLY "MELTING" OFF MY 05 ACCORD. HONDA SHOULD NOT BE MAKING OWNERS PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAINT THEIR VEHICLES AFTER OWNING THEM FOR ONLY A FEW YEARS BEFORE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY DAUGHTER REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR AT VERY LOW SPEED CAUSING MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER AND A SLIGHT DENT IN THE HOOD. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY, OR MORE ACCURATELY TO "DETONATE" SENDING HOT METAL AND PLASTIC SHRAPNEL INTO THE CABIN. AS A RESULT OF THIS MINOR ACCIDENT MY DAUGHTER SUSTAINED SEVERE BURNS, BRUISES AND ABRASIONS ON HER ARMS AND LEGS. HONDA ADMITS THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT DESIGNED WITH THIS IN MIND BUT REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OTHER THAN TO PRESENT ME WITH A BILL FOR $3700.00. THERE IS NO DENYING THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS AT FAULT IN THE ACCIDENT BUT HER INJURIES AND THE EXCESSIVE DAMAGE (THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN WAS BLOWN APART) WERE ONLY DUE TO HONDA'S FAULTY AIRBAG AND SAFETY DESIGN FOR WHICH THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. ....

ON THE DASH BOARD, A RED LIGHT OF AIRBAG WITH A PASSENGER SIGN COMES UP AND STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES, IT MAY COME RIGHT AFTER THE ENGINE START AND STAY. SOMETIMES, THE LIGHT WOULD NOT COME. WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED IN 2012,THE RED LIGHT APPEARANCE WAS INFREQUENT. NOW, IT IS ALMOST CONSTANT. ONLY OCCASIONALLY, IT MAY DISAPPEAR. *TR
