SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (THE LAST MAKES AT LEAST THREE TIMES, MAYBE MORE) THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE BECOMES SOAKED AFTER RAIN. ON THE FIRST OCCASION THE DEALER SAID THEY REPAIRED SOME TYPE OF HARNESS/GROMET THAT WASN'T SEALED AT THE FACTORY. INITIALLY THE WATER WAS ONLY COMING THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE LATEST OCCURANCE HAPPENED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS TIME THEY HAVE REMOVED THE FUEL TANK TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THE REAR SEAT AND SEAT BELTS HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. *AK WAITING FOR THE NEXT RAIN...

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST
ON MARCH 18, 2005, I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 ON I 680 WHEN MY TCS AND ABS LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I GOT SCARED AND RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR BUT SINCE THE EXIT I NEEDED WAS APPROACHING, I SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. IMMEDIATELY THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF CONTROL AND I SLAMMED INTO THE RIGHT GUARDRAIL EXTREMELY HARD, CAUSING ALL DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AND I CONTINUED SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL AND THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT STOPPING AS IT CROSSED TWO LANES AND CONTINUED DRIVING ONTO THE MEDIAN, EVENTUALLY STOPPING AS IT HIT AND RODE UP ON THE GUARDRAIL ON THE MEDIAN. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKING PRESENT IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS DEEMED TOTALLED BY INSURANCE. HONDA WAS CALLED BUT TODD (SVC REP) SAID THAT "WE DONT LIKE TO HEAR THAT ABOUT OUR CARS."

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
I HAVE A 2004 EX V-6 ACCORD COUPE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAD THE CAR FOR 1 WEEK IT HAD 175 MILES ON IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALL SIX PISTONS WERE MISFIRING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN 3 TIMES NOW FOR EXCESSIVE NOISE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT ONCE AND TOLD ME THAT SOME NOISE IS NORMAL.. (MY 76 HONDA CIVIC DOESN'T EVEN MAKE AS MUCH NOISE AS THIS CAR DOES) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND BLINKS AND GOES OFF HAS DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES. DEALERSHIP RESETS IT AND SAYS THAT IT IS OK. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE CAR IN 2 TIMES BECAUSE IT WON'T START. DEALERSHIP SAYS TO TURN KEY TO FIRST CLICK TO LET THE FUEL INJECTION LINES FILL WITH FUEL. IT DOESN'T WORK. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN TOMORROW BECAUSE THE TRUNK DOESN'T LATCH CORRECTLY.. WHAT A DISSAPPOINTMENT THIS CAR HAS BEEN AND ITS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD.. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. THE QUALITY HAS GONE SEVERELY DOWN HILL.*AK

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE
WHILE TURNING ON THE HEATER DEFOGGER COLD AIR WOULD COME OUT FROM THE VENTS. AFTERWARDS, THE INSIDE WINDSHIELD WOULD HAVE WATER FORMING ON THE WINDSHIELD. THEN THE WATER WOULD LEAK ONTO THE GLASS AND FREEZE UP. THIS CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND STILL OCCURS REPEATEDLY. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB
