SERVICE BRAKES
IT ALWAYS HAPPENS IN THE WINTER TIME, I GET IN MY CAR TO LEAVE AND I HAVE NO BRAKES. THE PEDAL IS VERY HARD/STIFF AND YOU HAVE TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY STOP. IN FACT I ALMOST HIT A CAR TODAY AND THE CAR HAD ACTUALLY ALREADY BEEN WARM AND WENT INTO A PLACE FOR ABOUT 30 MIN AND I ASSUMED THEY WOULD STILL BE WARM, WRONG THAT'S WHEN I ABOUT HIT A VEHICLE BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP! *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY CAR LOST POWER FROM THE ENGINE. THE RPM'S WENT HIGHER BUT THERE WAS NO POWER EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ON THE DASH TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING EXCEPT FOR THE RPM GAUGE. THE TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY DISENGAGED JUST AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN 'DRIVE'. THE SCARIEST PART WAS THAT I WAS STUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT NIGHT DURING A RAINSTORM AND THERE WERE NO VISIBLE WARNINGS TO OBSERVE OTHER THAN THE TACHOMETER AND SOUND OF THE ENGINE REVVING UP. I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED TO FAIL PREMATURELY DUE TO OVERHEATED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A HIGH COST. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ON. DEALERSHIP TESTED THE SYSTEM AND FOUND 2 CODES. FIRST CODE READ THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BUCKLE SWITCH FAULT. SECOND CODE READ THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT POSITION SENSOR FAULT. BOTH CODES ARE CAUSING THE SRS LIGHT TO STAY ON. THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BUCKLE SWITCH IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (AT 143,000 MILES). THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT POSITION SENSOR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THE SEAT POSTION SENSOR BUT MY VIN DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE LISTED VINS CALLED OUT ON THE DOCUMENT. WHY IS IT THAT A CAR WITH TWO DIFFERENT DEFECTIVE PARTS, THAT ARE CAUSING THE SAME ISSUE, NOT BOTH BE COVERED BY WARRANTY ON MY CAR BUT IS COVERED FOR OTHER CARS THAT ARE THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR? NOW I HAVE A NEW DRIVER SIDE SEAT BUCKLE SWITCH WITH A SRS LIGHT THAT IS STILL ON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THERE ARE NO ANY ILLUMINATING LIGHTS ON FOR RADIO AND A/C BACK LIGHTS WHEN WE TURNED ON THE HEAD LIGHT. IT WAS REPORTED SAME ISSUE FOR 2003 AND 2004 HONDA ACCORD, AND HONDA OFFER 7 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES EXTEND WARRANTY. WE ARE NOT SURE HOW MANY THIS CASES FOR 2005 HONDA ACCORD. IT IS REALLY A BIG FLAW RELATED OUR SAFETY, BUT WE DID NOT KNOW THAT AT ALL WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR: OUR CAR IS 2005 ACCORD LX HAS 53,000 MILES ON IT, HAS BEEN 8 YEARS SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. WHEN HEAD LIGHT IS ON, ITS RADIO AND A/C BACK LIGHT IS DARK. *TR

PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS NOT SAFETY ANYMORE. *TR

AIR BAGS
I TOOK MY HONDA IN FOR A POWER STEERING RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED AND ASKED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THE REASON WHY THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THERE WERE TWO FAULT CODES ONE BEING THE DRIVER SEATBELT BUCKLE AND THE OTHER BEING THE DRIVERS SEAT POSITION SENSOR. I KNOW THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE DRIVER SEAT POSITION SENSOR BUT THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO FIX THIS SENSOR I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR THE PART. I CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE PART SINCE MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A VIN AFFECTED BY THE DRIVER SEAT POSITION SENSOR RECALL. I FIND THIS ODD THAT MY VEHICLE IS OF A MAKE MODEL AND YEAR WITH A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART BUT YET IT IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER TO SEE IF THERE ARE MORE MODELS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE DRIVERS SEAT POSITION SENSOR FOR THE AIR BAG. *TT

AIR BAGS, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
AIR BAG FAULTY LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A MASSIVE 2005 ACCORD AIRBAG MODULE RECALL BASED ON THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION 07V001000. THE 2005 ACCORD HYBRID IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THERE SEEMS TO HAVE QUITE A FEW 2005 HYBRID OWNERS HAD ALREADY FILE THE SIMILAR COMPLAINT. (UNDER THE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT SECTION) AIRBAG MALFUNCTION IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM BEHAVIOR IS RANDOM AND MAJORITY OF THE CUSTOMER MAY SEES IT AS "GLITCH" SINCE IT MAY GO AWAY BY TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF AGAIN. *TR

I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS CAUSED A RECALL FOR V6 MODEL OF THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE OF MY HONDA ACCORD. THE POWER STEERING HOSE LEAKS ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND SMOKE STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I JUST WANT TO REPORT THE SAME ISSUE FOR 2.4 L (V4 MODEL) THAT WAS REPORTED FOR V6 MODELS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CAR DETAILS: - 05 ACCORD SE COUPE WITH ~65K MILES (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, 4 CYLINDER) RECENTLY, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN I KEEP PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. TYPICALLY HAPPENS AT AROUND 50 TO 60 MPH MARKER (THE MPH NEEDLE WILL JUST STALL AT ONE LOCATION AND NOT MOVE). I HAVE TO TAP THE BRAKE LIGHTLY A COUPLE OF TIMES OR LET THE CAR COAST DOWN WITHOUT GIVING IT ANY GAS (IT KIND OF RELEASES WHATEVER IS HOLDING THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING AND RELEASES THE MPH NEEDLE). I THEN ACCELERATE THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WILL GO HIGHER THAN 60 MPH. KEEPS HAPPENING OFTEN (NOT EVERY TIME THOUGH). MY GAS MILEAGE IS LOWER WHICH CONFIRMS THAT SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ON HIGHWAYS. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO ALL THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ISSUES THAT HONDA ACCORDS CONTINUE TO SEE ON MODELS MANUFACTURED IN THE MID 2000S. *TR

HONDA ACCORD 2005 SEEMS LIKE HAS FAULTY MECHANICAL ON THE BRAKE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE DOWNWARD THE HILL AND MY BRAKE DID NOT STOP. I WAS SUSPICIOUS NOW THAT MY CAR HAS FAULTY MECHANICAL BRAKE BECAUSE ABOUT LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO WHERE MY CAR HAS PROBLEM DID NOT BRAKE PROPERLY ON THE FREEWAY. THEN, I REPLACED MY BRAKE LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO AT HONDA DEALER. THE LAST TIME MY CAR MAINTENANCE WAS APRIL 2013 AND THEY STATED THE BRAKES ARE STILL GOOD. *TR

AIR BAGS
OUR HONDA ACCORD WAS CROSSING A 4-LANE STREET FROM A STOP SIGN. A CAR COMING FROM THE RIGHT STRUCK THE PASSENGER SIDE OF OUR HONDA, CAUSING THE SIDE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. HOWEVER, THE SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE, CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO RECEIVE BRUISES AND ABRASIONS. NOTE: ALTHOUGH THIS HONDA ACCORD WAS A 2005, IT HAD LOW MILEAGE (30,000) AND WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. THE INSURANCE CO. TOTALED THE CAR. *TR
