SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I AM NOT ONE TO BE AFFECTED BY HYPE NOR HYSTERIA, BUT I DO HAVE SOME SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE BRAKES ON THE 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID. WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH SURFACES OR SLICK (DUE TO ICE OR SNOW) ROADS THE 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID HAS A DELAY IN BRAKING RESPONSE. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHERE I HAVE ALMOST REAR-ENDED A CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF POOR BRAKING RESPONSE/PERFORMANCE. I HAVE WONDERED FOR QUITE SOME TIME IF THIS WAS DUE TO THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING INTERFERING WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. THE RECENT EVENTS WITH CERTAIN TOYOTA MODELS HAVE CAUSED ME CONTEMPLATE WHETHER THERE'S AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEMS AS A WHOLE. HONDA HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I WAS AT MY LAST ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT, MY SERVICE AGENT TOLD ME THAT OTHER 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRIDS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR BRAKING SYSTEMS. THEY OFFERED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE REPAIR WAS OVER $1,800 - A PRICE I COULD NOT AFFORD. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THE PROBLEM IS ENDEMIC TO THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6 (2 DOOR) SUFFERED A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE CRUISING AT 70 MPH RESULTING IN A NEAR ACCIDENT. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY VEHICLES FOLLOWING ME AND HAD TO MERGE ACROSS TRAFFIC INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE WHERE I "COASTED" DOWN AN OFFRAMP. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED TO THE STANDARDS LISTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SERVICED TWICE IN 96,000 MILES WHICH EXCEEDS THE STANDARDS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THE OWNERS MANUAL ALSO SPECIFIES ONLY GENUINE HONDA TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH WAS USED ON BOTH TRANSMISSION SERVICES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION, AND THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS AT ALL (SLIPPING GEARS, GRINDING, ETC.). IF THE INCIDENT HAPPENED IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION (CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, MORE CARS IN TRAFFIC, ON A WIDER HIGHWAY) IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2005 HONDA ACCORD NEEDS ITS SECOND BRAKE JOB. FIRST BRAKE JOB AT 30,000 AND NOW 2ND AT 60,000. HONDA STATES THEY ARE WARPING THE FRONT END TO HEAT TO SUCH A DEGREE THAT IS WARPING MY BRAKES AND PUTTING ME AN D MY FAMILY AT RISK? WHAT IS CAUSING, I DON'T LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE I RIDE MY BRAKES, THERE ARE NO HILLS, I'VE LESS THAN 4 MILES FROM WHERE I WORK. THEY SUGGEST RESURFACING AND REPLACING THE PADS FOR THE SECOND TIME. NOT SURE WHY THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THERE HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF DEFECT THAT IS CAUSING THIS TO RE-OCCUR ONCE MAYBE BUT TWICE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND THE ENGINE KEPT REVVING AT A HIGH SPEED. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED IT BARELY SLOWED DOWN. WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AT A FAST FOOD ESTABLISHMENT. IT CONTINUED TO REV WHEN THE GEAR WAS PLACED IN "PARK." THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED, AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AT A HIGH SPEED. A TOW TRUCK TOOK IT TO THE HONDA PLACE AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. EVIDENTLY THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER MOVED THE PEDAL AROUND AND THE DEALER SAID HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT. *TR
