ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
AIR BAGS REPLACED, AFTER PICKING UP CAR FROM HONDA DEALER; CAR WILL NOT START. APPEARS SOMETHING IS SUCKING ALL THE JUICE SO STARTER DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO START. CAR WORKED GREAT BEFORE (BESIDES THE KILL PEOPLE AT LOW SPEEDS THING), HANDED OVER TO HONDA, NOW WONT START. MIND YOU THIS CAR WAS ACTUALLY RECALLED IN 2014 BUT ONLY JUST NOW RECEIVED NEW BAGS. VERY UN-PLEASED WITH THE WAY HONDA HANDLED THIS VERY SCARY SITUATION.

MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I HEARD ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING THAT IT MAY TAKE 2-5 YEARS TO COMPLETE THIS RECALL. IN THE MEANTIME WOULD IT BE SAFER TO DISCONNECT THE AIRBAG UNTIL IT CAN BE REPLACED? IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS WOULD BE THE MOST LOGICAL SOLUTION SINCE, EVEN IN A MINOR FENDER BENDER THE AIRBAG COULD POSSIBLY DEPLOY AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I OWN A 2004 HONDA ACCORD THAT HAS EXPERIENCE MAJOR PAINT CHIPPING. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ACROSS THE ENTIRE BODY OF THE CAR: THE HOOD, THE ROOF, AND THE TRUNK ARE ALL PEELING AWAY. WHILE THE CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD, THE PAINT WOULD NOT BE DESCRIBED AS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR." HONDA RECENTLY MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE PAINT PROBLEM UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT ONLY UNDER SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS. MY ISSUE IS THAT MY CAR CLEARLY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT, A PROBLEM THAT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE COMPANY, BUT IS NOT BEING AMENDED BY THE COMPANY. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GET IT ON RECORD THAT THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH 2004 HONDA ACCORDS AND THE PAINT USED ON THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

POWER TRAIN
AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE RPM NEEDLE WENT UP AND DOWN AND THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND THEN DID NOT RESPOND, AND THEN ACCELERATED AGAIN. THE CAR CONTINUED TO DO THIS A FEW TIMES. WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND MY SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 30 MPH THE CAR STOPPED MOVING ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, I HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN BACK ON, AND IT MOVED AGAIN BUT, CONTINUED TO STOP MOVING A FEW TIMES AGAIN AFTER THAT. THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS ON A BUSY STREET WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC, CARS WERE BEHIND ME AND BY ME SUDDENLY STOPPING WITHOUT NOTICE BECAUSE THE CAR STOPPED ON ITS OWN, COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN I COULD HAVE RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. ATTACHED IS A LINK TO PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME EXACT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR AS MY VEHICLE: HONDA HAS A HISTORY IF HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, I EXPERIENCED A SPONTANEOUS TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE WHEN SWITCHING THE DASH CONTROL WHICH POWERS THE DIGITAL THERMOMETER/ODOMETER CONTROL. THIS EFFECTED HEADLIGHTS, STEERING AND BRAKING, AS IF THE CAR WAS TURNED COMPLETELY OFF, BUT I WAS ABLE TO COAST TOWARD THE ROAD SHOULDER.

POWER TRAIN
04 HONDA ACCORD V6- D(4) LIGHT STARTS BLINKING. BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP FOR DIAGNOSES; 4TH GEAR PRESSURE SWITCH. REPLACED 4TH GEAR PRESSURE SWITCH. CAR SEEMS TO BE WORKING BETTER. 3 DAYS LATER; CAR ONLY GOES UNDER COOL CONDITIONS (TRANNY SEEMS TO WORK WHEN THE CAR HAS NOT REACHED REGULAR / RECOMMENDED OPERATING TEMPERATURE). WHEN IT REACHES NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, THE MOTOR STARTS REVVING, EVEN IN D. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE AT A STOP AND ON A HIGHWAY. WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR HAD ALREADY WARMED UP, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THEN SUDDENLY JERKED BACK. THE FEELING IS LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR DOWNSHIFTING WITHOUT PRESSING ON THE GAS; IT JERKS THEN DECELERATES. AND FROM THERE IT JUST REVS AND REVS, LIKE IT'S NOT CATCHING THE GEARS. SO I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY A FEW TIMES, THANKS TO THIS NON-WORKING TRANSMISSION. WHEN THIS OCCURS ON THE SMALL ROADS, I WOULD THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR WILL ENGAGE INTO GEAR AGAIN, BUT NOT FOR LONG. THIS IS A PROBABLE SIGN OF OVERHEATING WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAN PROBABLY CAUSE THE TRANNY TO SLIP? NOT 100% SURE BECAUSE I'M NOT A MECHANIC. SO I WAS REFERRED TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA FOR A RECALL INQUIRY, AND OF COURSE, MY VIN# DOESN'T HAVE AN OPEN RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION, MEANING I PRETTY MUCH SCREWED MYSELF FROM THE START WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE'S A SKETCHY TRANSMISSION IN IT. EVEN IF I GOT IT REPLACED, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT THE REPLACED ONE DOESN'T DO THE SAME THING? I UNDERSTAND THAT TRANSMISSIONS DO NOT LAST FOREVER ON ANY VEHICLE, BUT IF YOU JUST GOOGLE: 7TH GEN ACCORD TRANSMISSION, YOU CAN READ ALL THE WONDERFUL STORIES ABOUT FAIL HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSIONS, STARTING FROM YEAR 2003; THERE'S A COMMUNITY OF AUTHORS. THE WORST PART IS, I GOT IT REPLACED AND I STILL DON'T FEEL ANY PEACE AT MIND. GOOD LUCK *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS REPORTED ISSUE IS NOT SPECIFIC TO MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD, BUT APPLIES TO MANY VEHICLES. ON ALMOST A WEEKLY BASIS, I SEE PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR CARS AT NIGHT ON FREEWAYS AND CITY STREETS WITHOUT THEIR LIGHTS ON, POSING A DANGER TO OTHER MOTORISTS WHO MIGHT NOT SEE THEM. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THIS CAN BE SOLVED SIMPLY: CHANGE THE LIGHT SWITCH TO NOT ILLUMINATE THE DASHBOARD UNLESS THE LIGHTS ARE ON. MY CAR ALWAYS HAS ITS DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIGHTS ARE ON OR NOT. THERE IS A SMALL "IDIOT LIGHT" OF A GREEN HEADLIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT IT HARDLY NOTICEABLE. IF INSTEAD THE CAR'S DASHBOARD WOULD BE DARK WHEN THE LIGHTS AREN'T ON (LIKE IN 25+ YEAR-OLD CARS), I BELIEVE MOST DRIVERS WOULD BE MUCH LESS LIKELY TO FORGET TO TURN THEIR LIGHTS ON -- DO YOU AGREE? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BATTERY LIGHT CONTINUALLY FLICKERS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT FLICKERS, MY HEADLIGHTS GET VERY DIM, MY A/C FANS FLUCTUATE IN SPEED, AND MY AFTERMARKET STEREO AMPLIFIERS (2) CUT OUT. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE THEY TESTED THE BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR. BATTERY HAD A DEAD CELL BUT WAS STILL HOLDING A CHARGE. STARTER AND ALTERNATOR TESTED OK. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY ON THE SPOT. THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO GET CHECKED AT MULTIPLE AUTO PARTS STORES AND THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP. NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG. EVERY DAY SEEMS TO GET A LITTLE WORSE. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THE BATTERY LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND THE CAR LOSES POWER INTERMITTENTLY ALONG WITH ALL OF THE OTHER SYMPTOMS I HAVE ALREADY LISTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V700000 (AIR BAGS) AND 14V351000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE DEALER FAILED TO PROVIDE A CLEAR EXPLANATION OF WHAT PARTS WERE REPLACED FOR BOTH RECALL REPAIRS. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS CRACKED, THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW AND THAT THE ANTIFREEZE WAS DIRTY. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BUT DID NOT COMPLETE BOTH RECALL REPAIRS AND DID NOT CONFIRM IF THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEALERS REPAIRS AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO REMEDY BOTH RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT STARTED POURING RAIN. I TURNED ON MY WIPERS. WHEN THE WIPERS WERE IN A VERTICAL POSITION THEY STOPPED. I IMMEDIATELY LOST VISIBILITY BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING SO HARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE WIPER SPEED LEVER IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT POSITIONS BUT NOTHING WOULD MAKE THEM WORK. I CHECKED THE FUSES WHILE I WAITED ON THE RAIN TO STOP. ONCE IT STOPPED RAINING, I RETURNED THE WIPERS TO THE DOWN POSITION AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WIPER MOTOR AND ALSO THE WIPER SWITCH. THE WIPER MOTOR WAS RECALLED FOR THE 2003 ACCORD. I FEEL LIKE A SIMILAR RECALL SHOULD BE DONE FOR THE 2004 ACCORDS. *TR
