WE GOT A 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX THROUGH ABC AUTO 6112 N.FLORIDA AVE TAMPA 33604 FLORIDA.TOOK TEST DRIVE CHECKED TRANS FLUID WHICH NEEDED TO BE CHANGED ,WE FIGURED IT WAS THE WAY THE CAR WAS BUILT,BUT WE ADVISED THE SALES MAN ,WHICH ADVISED US HE WOULD HAVE "THERE" SHOP COMPLETELY LOOK THE CAR OVER.WHICH NOTHING WAS FOUND. I HAD TRANS FLUID CHANGED IMMEDIATELY,APPROX 30 DAYS LATER CHECKED FLUID SMELLED BURNT AND AGAIN METAL SHAVING WERE PRESENT.AND CHANGE EVERY 3 MONTHS ,SO NO ISSUES WOULD ARISE.AFTER APPROX 11MONTHS WE RECEIVED A "RECALL NOTICE FOR THE POWER STEERING HOSE.WHICH WAS REPLACED.UPON THAT RECALL WE LOOKED INTO ALL RECALLS ON THE CAR TO INSURE SAFETY OF THE FAMILY.THE CAR SEEMED FINE THEN STARTED "STOPPING REAL FAST,AT ANY SPEED" TOOK TO HONDA DEALER THEY ADVISED US IT WOULD BE $5000 TO REPAIR.UPON INVESTIGATING MORE WE REALIZED THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR THE TRANSMISSION (#04V176000) ADVISED HONDA DEALER ,THEY STATED THE MILEAGE WAS WELL OVER 15,000 MI,AND A TRANS FLUID COOLER WAS ADDED TO SATISFY THE RECALL,BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE OWNER AT THAT TIME "DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE". THE CAR AT THIS TIME IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE,AND NOT DRIVING PROPERLY DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION. FACT IS HONDA SHOULD OF CHECKED AND REPLACED THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION.WHICH INSTEAD ONLY ADDED A TRANS COOLER.NOT WHAT THIS RECALL DEMANDED HONDA TO REPLACE AND OR REPAIR. *TR

THE CLEARCOAT PAINT IS BEGINNING TO PEAL ON THE HOOD, ROOF AND TRUNK. COLOR OF VEHICLE IS BLACK. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND GARAGED. I'VE NOTICED MANY OTHER HONDA VEHICLES WITH THE SAME CONDITION. IN ADDITION, THE ABS BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAS GONE ON AND WE'VE BEEN TOLD BY HONDA THAT THE CAR NEEDS THE ABS MODULE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,200. WE HAVE NOT MADE THIS REPAIR DUE TO THE COST AND AGE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD AT 122,000 MILES. THAT'S UNHEARD OF! I'VE PURCHASED 3 HONDAS BEFORE THIS ONE & NEVER A PROBLEM. THE TORQUE CONVERTER CAME APART ON MY TRANSMISSION & I HAD TO GET IT REBUILT. THE BILL WAS $2200. AMERICAN HONDA SAID SORRY & THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE WHEN A TRANSMISSION WILL GO OUT. REALLY? 122,000 MILES? I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE & COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! ALL THEY CAN SAY IS SORRY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO UPSET BEFORE. TO TOP IT ALL OFF THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO REPAIR IT FOR $4700 OR TRADE MY CAR IN FOR $1000. BY THE WAY I WASN'T ABLE TO GET ANY TYPE OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY REPAIR BILL. *TR

TODAY, I HAD PASSENGER SIDE CEILING AND SEAT AIR BAG INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AS THE DRIVER, I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE (HOWEVER, APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES LATER, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A TODDLER IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE BACKSEAT) . I WAS STARTLED AND CONFUSED BY THE UNEXPECTED EXPLOSIVE NOISE ("BOOM") AND ONLY NOTICED THE SIDE AIR BAG "CURTAIN" A FEW SECONDS LATER AND AFTER THAT, THE PROTRUDING PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 55MPH. STARTED TO PULL A SLIGHT HILL AND WAS PREPARING TO PASS A TRUCK. VEHICLE RPMS WENT HIGHER BUT SPEED CONTINUED TO DROP OFF. ENDED UP COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A BRIDGE WITH NO SHOULDER. HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTART TO GET IT TO GO AGAIN. WENT ABOUT 14 MILES AND IT DID IT AGAIN. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. WAS SERVICED LAST WEEK AND HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AS A PART OF RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE BY HONDA DEALERSHIP. CAR IN SHOP NOW. THE LOSS OF POWER COULD HAVE HAD SERIOUS REPERCUSSIONS ON OUR SAFETY. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR A RECALL TO BE REPAIRED. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, I STILL GET A DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE PART MAY STILL BE DEFECTIVE. THE PART IN QUESTION IS THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SEAT WIRE HARNESS (SEAT SRS SENSOR). I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS RECALL, BUT THE DEALER WAS KIND ENOUGH TO INFORM ME, BUT I JUST DON'T FEEL THE ISSUE HAS BEEN CORRECTED. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
WHILE I WERE DRIVING LOCALS, I NOTICE A SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED AND SPIKE IN RPM. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, ONLY RPM WOULD GO UP AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT TO HIGHER GEAR. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. NO ENGINE LIGHT. NOTHING. IF THIS HAPPENED IN THE FREEWAY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. I ALSO NOTICED NUMEROUS 2003 2004 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS TO HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS IS DEFINITELY MANUFACTURER'S FAULT. I HAD TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAME OUT TO BE $1820. THIS IS SERIOUS SITUATION. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEN I PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER. ONCE I PULLED OVER TURN VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED VEHICLE BACK UP IT PULLED OFF FINE THEN IT WAS SLIPPING GEARS. PULLED OVER AGAIN AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF SAME THING AND THE LAST TIME I REPEATED THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT LIKE IT WAS THE BATTERY. VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUSHED ON SIDE OF A RURAL ROAD ONCE I DECIDED TO GET OFF OF HIGHWAY. MY VEHICLE WAS LEFT ON SIDE OF THE ROAD, VANDALIZED, RAINED IN AFTER ONE WINDOW WAS DOWN ONCE VEHICLE WAS DISABLED. *TR

FELT LIKE THE GEARS STOPPED ENGAGING AND THE RPMS SPIKED. SLOWED DOWN AND GOT IT TO REENGAGE BUT ONLY IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR. AFTER PULLING OVER, THE GEARS WOULDN'T ENGAGE AT ALL. RESTARTED THE CAR BUT THE SAME SLIPPAGE AND RPM SPIKING HAPPENED AGAIN. DEALER WANTS $5600 TO REPAIR. HONDA HAD A LIMITED RECALL BUT IS REVIEWING ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER FOR NEARLY 25 YEARS, BUT AM QUESTIONING THAT LOYALTY NOW. *TR

MY VEHICLE ALLOWS ME TO REMOVE THE KEY WITH IT NOT IN PARK. I KNOW THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ON 2003 HONDA ACCORDS BUT NOT 2004. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS CAN HAPPEN. IT WILL COST ME UPWARDS OF $700 TO FIX A DEFECT. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS BEHAVIOR SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK IN 2011. *TR
