The airbaglingtalways turn on somtimesin motion. So i am afraid ofmyhonda car ,when i am driving it.

Takata recalllight on dashboard
Takata recall: i purchased from individual knowing it was a salvage vehicle. However, did not know the air bags had been removed. Whileit is covered by recent recall honda america will not authorize repair due to missing parts. Unsafe condition!
I was driving home from work on a monday night, i had my phone in the front seat with me and i had heard it go off a few moments earlier. I looked over quickly at the phone to see who it was,i quickly looked back at the road, i was not able to stop quick enough and i hit the young lady in from of me. I was going about 40 mph when i hit her and there is substantial damage to my car. What really puzzled me was that my airbag did not deploy, even with an impact as big as this one. I have sustained a few injuries because of the lack of air bag.
I took my honda in for a power steering recall that was issued and asked the honda dealership to look intothe 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.
I received the safety recall notice from honda to regard airbag recall on april 2015.i was callingto make appointment for replace airbag in 2 of honda dealer ( honda of downtown los angeles & honda world orange county)on early april 2015.i gave my car information. They told me part was not ready yet. So they said will call later as soon ready to airbag part. But never ever reply or call again from those honda dealer this moment.i am really consider about safety issue.the honda suppose ready to recall service before recall announce to driver. I am really disappoint about honda service. So i would like to file from you. Thank you.
Air bag light would come on intermittently.then started staying on more.within the week went to dealer and they said it was my seatbelt sensor.covered under my 5 year extended warranty. Thank goodness.

Air bag needs to be replaced and ever since i bought it i been having steering wheel noise and it shakes constantly. I bought new tires, changed power steering, pump, hose and it still does the same thing. I go to discount tires nearly every two weeks to get tires rebalanced even if its new. They still cant find the problem. Car also turns off sometimes. Happpened five times already. The steering whistle sound is constant now and when my car turned off it was on the street parked and alsomaking turns causes the steering wheel to be stiff.
Have information that the air bag and side air bag may not be working properly on the passenger side and the shoulder strap on the same side doesn't release as it should. Thanks
"takata recall"when ever i start engine and until i switch off the engine, the red light for the airbag lights on.

I was involved in a car accident. I was driving a honda accord 2005 and was rear ended by a bmw x5. There seemed to be minor damage to my rear bumper with no collision from the front. The next day, i started my car turn on the ac and let the car cool down. I stepped out of the car and in a few minutes the driver airbag deployed. I took the car to honda motor so they could find out what is wrong witht the car, but honda wants 115 dollars to make a dianostic which i think is ridiculous. Please advice, i'm driving a car without airbags that honda refuses to even look at unless i pay 115 dollars.
After returning my 2005 honda accord at the request of sp honda, tulsa,ok., american honda rep e.p. Contradicted what mechanic previously had said. They refused to repair passenger side airbags deployed while driving down highway at 65 mph. The continual lies need to stop. Hondaneeds to be responsible for their recalls & faulty equipment. To make matters worse, the gmstated " why should we help repair your car when you didn't purchase it from us?" who does business like this? american honda is being investigated and sp of tulsa should be as well!
Takata recall. I took my honda to lester raines honda in wv for the air bag recall and they said they fixed it.

The car is totaled and currently at robbies wrecker service tow yard at branchland wv
I was driving home, i fell asleep at the wheel approaching a stop light. I hit the corner of the vehicle in front of me and my front left and kinda in the middle (hood area) was smashed in almost to my windshield.

I think the point of filed complaints should not only be reflective but proactive. That way, hopefully, both the feds and the manufacturers can get ahead of issues before they come tragic and/or costlier. That being said, i currently drive a 2005 honda accord which is on the recall list regarding the takata air bag flaw. There is no recall though, simply because my car was not registered in one of the 'humid states' this is ridiculous. I suspect it is a calculated ploy to allow takata to triage the most pressing recalls first and then open the recall. This is understandable, but if this is the case, it should be communicated to the public instead of making us feel a false sense of security with a potentially defective product. When will all 2005 honda accords receive the blessing to be recalled??? [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

"takata recall" i have had an air bag light on for years and they have never been deployed. Every time i check for a recall and mine has never had one, then why has my airbag light stay on?
My complaint is based on the risk of death or serious injury posed by the potentially faulty airbags in all 2005 honda accords. Nhtsa is permitting honda to use my nys residency as reason to exclude my car from the recall list. The assertion that certain cars may be more at risk for failure based on geographic regions may or may not be a rational basis for prioritizing a service list. It should not, however, be the criteria for determining which cars are included in the recall. By approving this partial recall list, nhtsa is protecting honda and takata.as long as my car is excluded, honda is not legally responsible. Honda was not required to notify me of the potential danger, and i was unaware before now of the risk. Honda also avoids paying the cost of any action taken to minimize the risk, such as having the airbags disabled. Nhtsa's actions are serving the interests of honda rather that the america public.

Air bag red icon kept coming on on dash and have been trying to get this fixed for over a year.don't understand why honda does not consider long island, ny, a humid territory.honda needs to visit long island to see how humid it is.this car must be used for a road test next week and i must now pay out of pocket to get the icon off permanently and the problem fixed, as well as have the air bags replaced to ensure they are good.i would like to get reimbursed.thank you.

Takata recall:on july 21 2017, my srs light on my 2005 accord came on while turning the wheel to back out of a parking space. Bought the car in march of 2017 and had no issues up until this time. The light has remained on ever since. Ran this vehicles vin and found no open recalls. My wife drives this car and is very petite, i fear for her safety, as well as my own as we both use the car. No help from dealer.
While driving vehicle transmission abruptly went into a down shift causing the vehicle to slow down while traveling at a high speed. Recall # r89
"takata recall".....i purchased this car 2 years ago and the seat belt warning light has always been lit.i just had my oil changed today and the repair shop advised me that there was an error code which means defective air bag. Also the driver seat belt buckle showed defective.yesterday i received 2 different emails from nhtsa for 2 recalls (#19v499 and #19v501). No letter was received from honda yet but i hate to wait for a letter to arrive as that could take 60 days, then would have to wait for the dealer to get the parts and then get an appointment. This situation is life-threatening. Is there any way to speed this process up? also the repair shop stated that a lot of the air bags that have been replaced, are now being recalled.

2005 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to information for airbag replacements.
Air bag warning light coming on and off intermittently. But heard previous models have recall on this issue but not for 2005 models.
Do not reseived information about this case
Air bag warning light, was recalled previously for the 2005 honda accord,but not for the id number for my vehicle,warning light comes on and off often, was recalled for problem with harness wiring short, was told my vehicle, did not qualify for repair. Under previous recall.
We purchased a new 2005 honda accord ex-l (4 cyl) on july 31, 2005.3 weeks into ownership, the airbag warning light came on and stayed on. The car was being driven normally at the time. We followed the owner's manual instructions and returned to the dealer for service on 8/19/2005 (bankston honda in lewisville, tx).the service department ran a computer test on the car and confirmed that the driver's side airbag was not receiving a signal, and in fact would not deploy in the event of a crash.in short, the airbag was non-functional.the dealer had the car until today, 8/24/2005.their fix was to "clear the code" and make the light go off.they claim they were unable to find the cause of the problem, and wanted to return the car to us. No parts were replaced.the light simply turned off and they consider that "fixed" i suppose. I insisted on an explanation, since this is a critical safety item.we were told by the dealer that in honda accords, the airbag's functionality can be compromised by a cell phone being in the car!if this is the case, the cars should be recalled!there's even a special power jack between the front seats for cell phones.there's no telling how many honda drivers are in danger if what the dealer told me is the case.how can a car manufacturer and dealer knowingly sell a vehicle whose primary safety feature deactivates because the owner is carrying a cell phone?we left the dealer with our car (8/24/05).about 2 miles down the road the airbag light came on again.we immediately returned to the dealer.they have the car again and are going to call "honda tech" for advice. I am thoroughly disappointed with this vehicle and am angry that we and thousands of other accord drivers could be at risk of injury/death because of a known problem that hasn't been announced by the mfg and remedied.i don't want the car anymore because i don't believe it's safe.i want my money back.
I've noticed a faultiness with the airbag light indicator/sensor. After the engine is started, the light stays on and continues to stay on until i restart the engine, at which time the light may or may not turn off. This happens whether there is a passenger present in the passenger's seat or not. The light faultiness happens at random. Though many models of honda accords have been covered under a recall for the same issue, honda is telling me my specific vehicle is not covered. This is a dangerous issue that can affect the airbag deployment, causing full-force deployment regardless of seat position.
Cpsc# i11a0324a. 2006 honda accord. Has a broken emergency airbag equalizer. *ln
Srs light stays on all the time.
Nothing happened.during the past few months, the airbag (red light) indicator light comes on the dashboard warning system and will not go off.this is intermittent, but certainly a cause for concern based on the recent recalls.who will fix this for me?

I was traveling at a speed of about 45 mph. The driver's side curtain airbag, driver's seat airbag, and driver's seatbelt spontaneously deployed. There is no apparent reason for this.
Driving south on i 81 at approximately mm 167.3.heard a very loud noise, thought i might have had a blow out.there was a burning smell so i thought my car was on fire and i pulled off on the left hand side of the interstate.no flat, nothing burning, no damage to car.got back in my car and realized passenger side airbags from front to back had deployed, that is what i was smelling but at the time i did not realize my airbags had deployed. I was alone but there is a child car seat in my backseat and if one of my grandchildren had been in the car seat or a passenger in the front seat they could have been badly injured.my car is currently at the honda dealership and they have provided me a loaner vehicle at no cost to me.they did call this morning to verify that i had not ran over anything or hit anything.there is not damage to my vehicle. The honda dealership told me they would give me a call once they figured this all out. I am now waiting to see what the outcome will be.

A police report was filed. The vehicle was not towed. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. The failure mileage was 159,000. The vin was invalid.
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.
The driver's side air bag light stays on. The dealer wants to charge a ridiculous amount of money to "search every wire associated" with the air bag system. This was a problem with 2005's manufactured 7/20/2004-10/8/2004 and they were recalled. Apparently, the problem was never fixed and multiple vehicle owners have reported this. Why has the recall not been extended to all 2005's? i fear for my safety every time i drive. I can't afford the repair nor can i just go buy a new car!

Air bag indicator light is always on. Went to the honda dealer (auto nation honda, tucson) and was informed that there is a recall but the part was not available. So come back after the part. Came back today, and there was a new person, and was informed it wont be covered under the warranty, and needs to replace the driver's side seat belt wire harness and had to pay $235. There is a safety recall: driver's seat position sensor harness replacement service bulletin 07-002 for this wire harness but was informed does not cover my vehicle. I think this is the same issue, but why does not cover my vehicle? this is clearly honda's fault.
2005 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to airbag recall parts unavailable and seeks reimbursement.an independent shop replaced the air bag.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that water entered into the driver side of the vehicle near the curtain air bags.

Airbag light would come on after car warms up intermittantly, and stays on permanentlyon colder days it takes longer to turn on but eventually it will.
"takata recall"i was coming to a stop for a traffic light and did not brake in time to stop my vehicle before i tapped into the rear bumper of an suv.i was going very slow /probably under 10mph. My drivers side airbag deployed and i got cuts on my arm and a chemical burn as well. My drivers side seatbelt is not working now (locked.) i have slight damage on the right front passenger side bumper. I becameaware of the takata airbag recall after this happened.this occurred on 2/20/2017 in the daytime/ clear, sunny skies.

Air bag recall.
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.
Takata airbag recall
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.
My daughter was in a car accident 5/18/21 and totaled her car , airbags opened on sides and in seat but her steering wheel never opened . I have pictures of the car and even police officer , paramedic and tow guy said it seems strange that they did not open . She is very lucky to be ok but i am concerned that the steering wheel did not open . Maintenance was kept up on car along with inspections .
Takata recall. My 2005 honda accord airbag/srs light has been continuously staying off and on.
The srs light came on without an accident.i had the fault code read before bringing the car to honda. The fault code was a bad sensor only. Honda replaced the sensor and the srs control unit as well. With low mileage on the car i called honda motors customer service. They looked into the issue and determined the repairs were needed and they could not help in any way. Repairs cost $750.01
Airbag light appears on the dadshboard intermittently.it only comes on if i start the car and do not have my seatbelt on.if my seatbelt is on, the light does not come on.further, while driving and the light is not on, the moment i take my seatbelt off, while the car is running, the airbag light comes on.
I have a 2005 honda accord ex nav that has problems with the srs airbag light staying on. I've contact honda about why my car was not in the recall like the other accords in the same year model. They claim there isn't a problem. A srs airbag light that stays on is clearly a problem that seems to be consistent with the airbag recall of the other vehicles. I ask them to pay for the repair but they refused.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that the air bag warning lamp was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 07v001000 (air bags). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 73,000.
I have 2005 honda accord which is not included in the takata recall but i have a airbag light that goes off and on.as a result, my passenger side seat belt locked up when i took it to the dealer they said that the engine read a code that said it was involved in rear collision and it was not.they also stated that the seat belt could have locked up because the airbag light is on.someone was sitting in the seat and had to maneuver to get out of it.the dealership has told me it will cost $800 and up to repair the seat belt (and it was not covered under the lifetime warranty for seat belts)but when i took the car to honda the airbag light was not on at that moment so they told me it was nothing they can do unless it was on.i believe that this is a problem because the dealership also told me that if i have a faulty airbag that my seat belt may continue to lock up.i am hesitant to fix the seat belt because of the airbag situation.
My airbag indicator warning light came on at about 195k miles. I called the dealership asking if they had a recall open and said they did not. They thought maybe it was a sensor. Now that i see the reason for the latest recall, covering 2001-2003whose takata airbags we declared at risk, particularly in high humidity states.i can't help but to think that with all the recalls before and after my model year, coupled with my airbag light, that i am driving around with a high risk of my airbag deploying.
I was driving like any other day on the freeway and my passenger airbag deployed for no apparent reason- there was no accident at all. Luckily there was no one in the passenger seat. After contacting honda they said they would send a representative to the local dealership to check to take care of the repair but the honda dealership in el cerrito ca did not want to pay for the repair and wanted to charge full amount to fix it saying the car is out of warranty. I needed my car soon for my transportation so i went to my trusted mechanic to repair the airbag and he informed me it was not safe to drive becuase the driver's airbag could deploy at anytime which could result in a crash or injury or fatality. I would appreciate a full refund from honda for cost of the repair as it came out to be $3,374.68. This cost is very high and i am not responsible for this safety malfunction. This is a major safety issue and i am very upset that honda does not want to fix what could have possibly caused a person harm.thank youupdated 09/05/12*ljupdated 09/10/2012

I was driving doing about 35 mph and out of no where i hear this big pop! the side airbags on the driver side and in the back had deployed. No one hit me nor did i run over anything in the street.there was no type of impact. The airbag deployed for no reason. I reported it to honda dealership as soon as i got home. They ask me to bring the vehicle in the next day. The dealer ship and honda america inspected the vehicle their determination was that there was underbody damage. I couldn't believe what they showed me. It was a scratch, like someone took a screwdriver or something and scratched the vehicle. This was there reason for deployment. Long story short they would not fix the vehicle because they felt it wasn't their fault. I am very disappointed with honda and how this was handled. Honda states they are so big on safety for their customers but yet they will not fixvehicles that have defective parts that should be on a recall list, and now i have a vehicle with no side airbags and no seat belt. Where is the safety concern?? what if this would have cause and accident where some one was injury, my youngest daughter was in the car with me when this airbag deployed for no reason.thank god it didn't cause me to hit another vehicle. I have done my own research and found out that this same incident has happened to several other customers. Clearly there is a malfunction in this part/sensor. When is honda going to take some responsibility and keep their customers safe and do the right thing!!!i will continue to pursue this because i know exactly what happen and it was not causeby something hitting underneath my vehicle.
Dt: the contact stated after purchasing the vehicle he began to notice cracks in the steering wheel above the air bags. He contacted honda and spoke with a representative. The representative had someone else to call him back.the representative told him that this problem was hisfault because of the way he was pressing the horn. Both times the airbag were replaced by the dealership under warranty.he went to a body shop and saw two other vehicles with the same problem ,and they told him if the air bag deployed then it could cause injury to him.updated 12/27/05.
My daughter rear ended another car at very low speed causing minimal damage to the front bumper and a slight dent in the hood. The impact caused the airbag to deploy, or more accurately to "detonate" sending hot metal and plastic shrapnel into the cabin.as a result of this minor accident my daughter sustained severe burns, bruises and abrasions on her arms and legs.honda admits that the airbag was not designed with this in mind but refuses to take any responsibility other than to present me with a bill for $3700.00.there is no denying that my daughter was at fault in the accident but her injuries and the excessive damage (the entire steering column was blown apart) were only due to honda's faulty airbag and safety design for which they should be held accountable. ....

"takata recall" we have 2 hondas that had the airbags replaced as part of the recall. Shortly after the airbag was replaced the srs light came on the dashboard of both vehicles. Rt. 23 honda, pompton plains, nj did the replacement. They want $300 for each vehicle to fix the problem that they say is not related to the airbag replacement. It seems unlikely that both of our cars would have the same problem after the airbag replacement. I have filed second report since 2 vin numbers are involved. I also filed a report with honda. We last spoke to rt. 23 honda about this on 4/21/2016.

Hi. I got an accident about 3 week ago. My vehicle was damaged at front of bumper and the airbag driver side is pull out, but the cost is too expensive for repair my car. I don't have that much at the moment. Can you help me? please
Front airbag warning light has come on.additionally, the seat belt light on the dash no longer illuminates.forum search says the driver side seat belt sensor is most likely failed.
On the dash board, a red light of airbag with a passenger sign comes up and stays on while driving.sometimes, it may come right after the engine start and stay.sometimes, the light would not come.when the problem started in 2012,the red light appearance was infrequent.now, it is almost constant.only occasionally, it may disappear.

Car was running fine. No problems.all of a sudden the airbag light came on.i stopped the car and checked the seat on the passenger side and seat belts trying to figure out why it was on.i got back into the car and continued home.when slowing to turn into driveway a loud banging noise occurred.the car was put in park and immediately started rolling backwards.this could have been a hazard if a car had been passing by orif this had happened in busy traffic.i could have rolled back and hurt someone, hurt myself or rolled back into oncoming traffic.also if someone had been walking behind the car and gotten ran over and killed.anyway it was later towed to a dealer and diagnostics ran.the dealer informed me that i neededa new transmission.that is not right.my car was like new with a little over 68 thousand miles on it.i still owe on it and purchased it brand new.honda should be responsible for this.since this has happened to me and i have begun to research this i found a ton of recalls for this same problem, yet i am told my car is a 6 cylinder and is not under recall.please help.i was told it would cost me 4400 plus $ to replace the transmission.honda should be responsible for this cost.
I dont know if my vehicle have a air bag recall because its saying 0 unrepaired and i'm confused if i have a recall or not on my airbag
I received the first recall notice from honda for airbag inflator problem in april 2015. I promptly called a dealer to set up service for the recall, but they said they had to get the parts in. I called again after two weeks and still no parts. I just received another recall notice from honda for the same problem, but have not received a call back from the dealer to do the service. It has now been three months. Why would honda send out the recall and not have the parts for the dealers to replace?
Takata inflators - i never got a recall notice and they are saying that my airbag was fixed in 2014 i know for sure i have not been into a dealership to get this fixed - how do i get my airbag fixed?

The contact owned a 2005 honda accord. While driving approximately 50 mph, another vehicle was stalled on the road. The contact failed to see the vehicle and crashed into the rear of the other vehicle. The air bags failed to fully deploy. The contact sustained an injury to the sternum that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed from the scene. The vehicle was destroyed. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that he was not aware that the vehicle had two recalls for nhtsa campaign numbers: 15v370000 and 15v320000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
My 2005 accord had an illuminated supplemental restraint system (srs) light.the honda dealer diagnosed it down to a broken driver seat sensor harness; fault codes 71-10 (drivers seat pos sensor) and a2-10 (faulty pwr supply).this condition is exactly the same as described in honda service bulletin 07-002, "safety recall: driver's seat position sensor harness replacement."just as described in the bulletin, the wires on the harness become damaged and in fact were completely broken away from the plug end.however, my vin falls outside the affected vin's listed in the service bulletin and is not covered under this action.furthermore, i feel the dealer charged more than necessary for the repair: they charged 1.96 hrs of labor (at $97.00/hr), or $190.00, and $15.20 for the part totaling $205.20.in comparison, the service bulletin calls for 0.6 hrs of labor, which when added to the part cost would have totaled $73.40. Bottom line:honda did not provide the proper fix for damaged driver's seat position harness's in later production vins.since they continue to cause the same unsafe condition, honda must be compelled to increase the scope of this recall.
Was driving along on highway when boom!!! the passenger side airbags just deployed on their own.it caused me to swerve and almost crash at 80 mph. My passenger luckily sustained minor injuries.there was no reason or warning for these airbags to deploy!

Took it back they said they had to do diagnostics, ordered a wiring harness,installed that. I drove to florida and back 1300 miles round trip and the light is back on meaning my bags will not deploy. I have had a very difficult time getting this addressed. Honda (apple tree in fletcher , nc) had my car from tue-sat and i had to rent a car due to their negligence. Now i have to drive back over there 1 1/2 hour drive one way and see what is going on.i noticed there have been similar issues, but that my vin was not covered. Please advise.

After taking my 05 accord in for the driver and passenger airbag recall and having them replaced, the employee at the honda service center told me that my srs light is on and it is probably because of the sensor for the harness. This light has been coming on and off for well over a year, and recently has just stayed on at all times. He told me it would cost $130 just to diagnose this problem, and then the cost of fixing it, if this is indeed what is causing the light to stay on. My vin is not part of the honda recall for this specific issue, i believe honda somehow did not take into account all of the vins that are effected by this recall. I talked to honda and they are unwilling to help at all. I am currently pregnant and a petite woman, the highest risk factor for this issue if the airbags fail to deploy. Very disappointed in honda. Will be contacting my attorney after diagnosis is made, assuming diagnosis is specifically the same as the recall.

Checking to see if air bags are recalled.
2005 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to driver and passenger side frontal airbags safety recalls. *ldthe consumer stated there have been too many recalls concerning the airbags.
I recently received an airbag notice to have the passenger air bag replace at the dealer. I promptly delivered my vehicle to the dealer texas honda of austin, tx. After the air bag was replaced and they updated the computer, i am now getting an srs warning light which is intermitting. And according to my manual take it to your dealer. When i reported it to the dealer they advised that the two had no relevance. That i would have to pay for the repairs and that the parts were not available. According to honda's site the seat wiring harness should have been replaced to avoid this.
Dealership failed to properly install airbag inflator after i recieved a recall notice. Then proceeded to tell me the srs code that was showing up on my car after installation was there before service and everything was properly installed on their end.
I have seen the recalls for takata air bags due to injuries and deaths once deployed of which my model car is on the list of recalled vehicles.however, i do not live in one of the states that is on the recall list, so my vin is not on the recall list.upon further investigation on the issue, i found an article on this website, http://www.nhtsa.gov/about+nhtsa/press+releases/vehicle-owners-with-defective-airbags-urged-to-take-immediate-action, with a quote, "responding to these recalls, whether old or new, is essential to personal safety and it will help aid our ongoing investigation into takata airbags and what appears to be a problem related to extended exposure to consistently high humidity and temperatures. However, we're leaving no stone unturned in our aggressive pursuit to track down the full geographic scope of this issue," said nhtsa deputy administrator [xxx] ."since it basically states that humidity and temperature are the causes of the failures, i did an online research for the average humidity levels within my state only to find them in line with the states that are on the recall list.i further researched the avg humidity levels and temps of all 50 states to find that the humidity levels of the states on the recall list are lower than about 26 other states. To validate my findings, i looked up the same information on several unrelated websites.one interesting note, the avg. Humidity in ca (not my state) is higher than these states and avg. Temp. Is only 3 different than sc. Based off of my initial findings, i feel that whomever is determining which vehicles should be recalled should be more clear on how they determine which vehicles are selected for recall.i am now very nervous about driving my car and will consider replacement in the near future.since this problem is linked to deaths, i want clarity on this information asap.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Honda replaced the takata drivers side airbag on my 2005 honda accord in january 2015 under the takata airbag recall. However, honda will not replace the takata passenger side airbag in my car. I do not live in a high humidity state. I am very concerned about this decision by honda not to replace the passenger side airbag as there are news reports of injury to a passenger from a takata passenger side air bag in 2013. Nhtsa needs to order honda to replace the takata passenger side air bag on affected honda cars before someone else is injured.

We brought this in to both vern eide honda, sioux falls, sd and brookdale honda, brooklyn park, mn.it has been taken care ofthis is not the original airbag and there are no recalls on the current airbag.somehow this investigation by both dealerships has not been recorded in the system.our understanding from brookdale honda is that photos of the installed airbag were sent to honda corporate and nothing needed to be done further. We continue to receive notifications going so far as to receive them from the dvs.please assist. The number and frequency of notification is becoming annoying since the care has been in twice to honda for rectification of the airbag.

While my son was driving my vehicle, a 2005 honda accord ex-l, he was involved in a head-on crash in which he was injured and the vehicle received heavy damage. My son was taken to the hospital due to cervical spine, lumbar and chest injury. The vehicle had struck another vehicle at a speed of about 35 mph and the airbag failed to deploy. On the dashboard the airbag sign did light on, however, no airbag had deployed. The seat belt pre-tensioner had fried since the seat belt was locked and was not retracting in addition, the seat belt pre-tensioner had fries.i had contacted honda north america, and they reported there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and the vehicle behaved as it was suppose to. However, after contacting nhtsa, the representative stated with a 2005 honda accord, if the seat belt pre-tensioner fires, the airbag should fire simultaneously, who then suggested me to submit a claim to nhtsa. The vehicle did undergo repair authorized by the insurance company. The seat belt was replaced in addition to the airbag module and other associated items. However, the old items are not available.
My wrists were severely burned from a steering wheel airbag deployment.i was hit head-on.my vehicle was stopped.
The seat belts in the 2005 honda accord hybrid provided no safety in a collision. The airbags also failed to deploy in the same collision. I was the passenger in the front seat of a 2005 honda accord hybrid when we rear ended a volvo s-80. The volvo then struck an altima.the accord struck the volvo with considerable force. The volvo's trunk was damaged and would not open. The structural bar in the accord protecting the radiator was also bend beyond repair.i had the passenger seat as far back as it would go and was wearing my seat belt. During the collision my knees struck the front dash and swelled. The driver also suffered severe knee pain mostly likely from striking her knees against the dash or steering column. I believe the airbags should have deployed. Even if the bags did not deploy then the seat belts should have held.the seat belts in the 2005 honda accord hybrid provided no safety in a collision.

I was driving like any other day on the freeway and my passenger airbag deployed for no apparent reason- there was no accident at all. Luckily there was no one in the passenger seat. After contacting honda they said they would send a representative to the local dealership to check to take care of the repair but the honda dealership in el cerrito ca did not want to pay for the repair and wanted to charge full amount to fix it saying the car is out of warranty. I needed my car soon for my transportation so i went to my trusted mechanic to repair the airbag and he informed me it was not safe to drive becuase the driver's airbag could deploy at anytime which could result in a crash or injury or fatality. I would appreciate a full refund from honda for cost of the repair as it came out to be $3,374.68. This cost is very high and i am not responsible for this safety malfunction. This is a major safety issue and i am very upset that honda does not want to fix what could have possibly caused a person harm.thank youupdated 09/05/12*ljupdated 09/10/2012

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed needing a diagnosed testing to be performed on the vehicle. The vehicle had not been diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 186,000.
The airbag warning light on my 2005 honda accord ex-l was illuminated.i took the vehicle to my honda dealer and they replaced the wiring subharness.this was the same symptom, issue and resolution as nhtsa campaign #06e064000.my vehicle was not in the included in the vin numbers recalled per that campaign and i feel that honda didn't resolve the manufacturing defect by the time my vehicle was produced.in other words, i don't think honda recalled all vehicles affected.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord.the contact was uncertain of the speed rate when the failure occurred.the air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel.the warning indicator remained illuminated until the engine was turned off.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection.the failure was contributed to the air bag sensor wiring harness.there was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number 07v001000 (air bags;frontal;sensor/control module).the contact experienced the identical failures as mentioned in the recall.the vin number was excluded from the recall.the vehicle has not been repaired for the failure.

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.

I currently own a 2005 honda. I just recently had aproblem with it that really has me concerned. From what i'm told by the service manager at one honda dealership the wiring harness under the driverside seat was too short andbroke. The srs (supplemental restraint system) light wenton indicating a problem with the airbag system. This apparently detects when someone is leaning to far foward in the seat and would prevent the airbag deploying and injuring them. This disabled the airbag in my car. No airbag. No protection. The wiring harness was replaced as well as the sensor assembly. This fixed the problem. I am reporting this because the 2004 honda accords had a recall on this problem. I have an 05 and the same thing happened. This is a problem honda should fix immediatley. I'm told the 05's have no recalls. I want to be protected in case of an accident. Honda needs to fix this in all the 05's. The srs wiring harness should not be so delicate or short that it can break just from moving your seat back and forth.
Supplemental restraint system indicator light remains (intermittently) illuminated beyond the normal time after starting vehicle. The problem appears to be the same as described in other "complaints" published in nhtsa recall campaign id number 07v001000. According to local honda dealership, thisvehicle is not part of the recall group and does not qualify for cost free remediation by honda.
While driving home on interstate 93 in heavy traffic i noticed a small object in the road that i had thought i avoided, but in a instant the passenger side and seat air bag deployed.the car filled with a smoky substance, causing visibility to be limited, my wife and i were startled but ok, we first thought we had been in an accident. We pulled over and checked the car and found no damage.the car is 2005 new honda accord hybrid brand new with only 500 miles on it. After we composed ourselves we called the dealer and they indicated to park the car and do not drive it so we had it towed. The dealer put the car on a lift and called us to say they could see a scratch under the car where something must have hit a sensor and then triggered the air bags. If this had been on the drivers side i can assure your the results could have been much worst. I cannot believe that such a small object would trigger this to go off, rather than a safety item these are a hazard. I will fear seeing an object on the highway in the future and always wonder if the air bags will deploy. Does this sound normal or was the dealer telling me the truth? i had to file an insurance claim because the dealer stated it was my fault. The car is now sitting waiting for the insurance adjuster to look at it.
While driving home on interstate 285 in traffic i heard a loud pop in my left ear and my seat belt tightened to an unbearable tightness. My car filled with a powdery like substance and that's when i realized that my side curtain and seat airbags had deployed.there was nothing in the highway that i could have hit.my car was drivable and i pulled over to see if there was any damage.there was no damage so i called the dealership and took it in.they did a visual inspection and could find no reason why the air bags should have deployed.they said they would have to keep the car over night so that they could look at it more closely.the next day i called to check the status of my car and at that time i was informed that they could not find any damage to my car but they needed to continue looking.15 minutes later i received a phone call stating that they had found a small scratch on the bottom of my car and that was the cause of my airbags deploying.i am insisting that i did not hit anything because the highway was clear at the time.am i getting the run around from honda?is this normal?
Airbag indicator light on 2005 honda accord came on for no reason.honda charged me $110 to diagnose the problem and said the driver side curtain airbag was malfunctioning.they said it was $985 to replace and that airbags were not covered under the lifetime warranty like seatbelts were. Dealership suggested i speak with honda customer service because they too were surprised it wasn't covered.honda customer service said there was no way they would pay for it.i was also told that because the indicator light remains on, that my car would probably not pass state inspection.now i am out the $110 i paid to first get this information, and have a car that may not pass state inspection due to a malfunctioning airbag that honda does not have an explanation for.
Dt:the contact statedwhile driving the passenger curtain and seat air bag deployed.the housing for the air bag on the door was damaged.the contact didnot run over anything recently.she backed into a curb days ago, but the street she was driving on yesterday has no curbs.the insurance company inspected the vehicle and stated that hitting the curb days ago could not have caused it, but according to the dealership , it did.the manufacturer was relying solely on the dealer's evaluation.the vehicle is still at the dealership and has not been repaired.
My 2005 accord had an illuminated supplemental restraint system (srs) light.the honda dealer diagnosed it down to a broken driver seat sensor harness; fault codes 71-10 (drivers seat pos sensor) and a2-10 (faulty pwr supply).this condition is exactly the same as described in honda service bulletin 07-002, "safety recall: driver's seat position sensor harness replacement."just as described in the bulletin, the wires on the harness become damaged and in fact were completely broken away from the plug end.however, my vin falls outside the affected vin's listed in the service bulletin and is not covered under this action.furthermore, i feel the dealer charged more than necessary for the repair: they charged 1.96 hrs of labor (at $97.00/hr), or $190.00, and $15.20 for the part totaling $205.20.in comparison, the service bulletin calls for 0.6 hrs of labor, which when added to the part cost would have totaled $73.40. Bottom line:honda did not provide the proper fix for damaged driver's seat position harness's in later production vins.since they continue to cause the same unsafe condition, honda must be compelled to increase the scope of this recall.
Passenger side power window stopped working. Mechanic i spoke to said the window regulator is broken and needs to be replaced. Up until the day it broke, the window would get stuck and not roll back-up. This happened many times until it broke. The issue, in my opinion, didn't appear to be because of any weather. The car was never in an accident, nor was the passenger window ever tampered with or vandalized.
My air bag light was lit,i took it to honda they re-set something, 5 minutes later as i was leaving it lit up again. Took it back they said they had to do diagnostics, ordered a wiring harness,installed that. I drove to florida and back 1300 miles round trip and the light is back on meaning my bags will not deploy. I have had a very difficult time getting this addressed. Honda (apple tree in fletcher , nc) had my car from tue-sat and i had to rent a car due to their negligence. Now i have to drive back over there 1 1/2 hour drive one way and see what is going on.i noticed there have been similar issues, but that my vin was not covered. Please advise. I am still driving an unsafe car and have spent countless hours going back and forth and paying for a rental car.
Driving down the street when the malfunction indicator light went on. Within 5 seconds the engine stalled. Was able to pull to side of road and stop the vehicle. Turned off the ignition and was able to start the vehicle.this matches the scenario as outlined in recall #59558. Contacted local dealer and honda america and was advised that my vehicle is not part of the recall.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. Upon starting the vehicle, all the windows failed to operate while pressing the power window switch. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to clawson honda of fresno (6346 n blackstone ave, fresno, ca 93710 (559) 435-5000) where it was diagnosed that an unknown module needed replacement. The dealer informed the contact of a recall, but no open recalls were found. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact received a postcard from tk holdings, alerting her that they filed for bankruptcy. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Purchased car in 2007 - died while driving 2 wks later: new battery supposedly. Had batter/electric problems repaired thru starter, new batteries and alternators every other year. Today: 6/5/18 - car has electrical problem & so today i enter vin # into nhtsa website with results: " a broken outer race may cause abnormal noise, the malfunction indicator light to turn on, and allow contact between the transmission idle gear and an electronic sensor housing within the transmission" called honda hdqtrs and can't do anything
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle shut off while making a turn. All the warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired with a new battery; however, the vehicle had to be placed into park before it would restart. The failure continued intermittently. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 132,747.
I viewed nhtsa id number: 10653526 involving the red airbag indicator light that comes on and won't go off.mine has been doing this intermittently for at least a year that i can recall.it is now on almost all the time.when calling a local dealer about it, they said that they would have to charge me to look at the problem and would be responsible for any work that would need to be done to fix it.
Car refuses to start. Used a jumpstart from a friend to come home. Checked the battery charge indicator - shows green (meaning fully charged) - but car does not start with that battery.replaced the battery with a new one and there seems to be other problems. Dashboard light seem to flicker every now and then. Not sure what the exact issue is.
Engine stalls while the car is moving, steering wheel blocks.
Without notice or cause the passenger window and both back seat seat windows stop responding to the power controls. This caused the three windows to not open, and has been consistent since it originally happened over a month ago.
The car sporadically turns off while driving. Before the car shuts off sometimes the dashboard lights will flicker. The check engine light will sometimes go on for a day or two and then turn off. The car was checked out by three nys mechanics who all drove the car at length only to determine that nothing was wrong. One of the mechanics was from a honda dealership.
Takata recall.i took my 2005 honda accord to honda world in westminster, california and was told there's no recall for my airbags even though i have received notices in the mail and the airbag light turns off and on.the vehicle is in motion on city streets or highway, whether go straight or turning, the airbag light turns off and on.this dealer has refused to check the airbags unless i pay and says there's no recall for the airbags though i've received notices.
Six changer cd player overheats. After 30 seconds of playing time , the panel turns extremely hot and cd error message flashes. When the cd is removed, it is extremely hot to the touch where it must be placed on the passenger seat. If more than one cd is in the six cd changer, the panel gets very hot and subsequently the panel display goes blank. The radio will not work until the unit has cooled. There is a potential danger for fire or other system failure. Clearly a safety hazard.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord coupe. The contact stated that upon starting, the lights along the radio and air conditioner failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer.

The audio unit display lights go dim1-2 minutes after the headlights are turned on. The radio dialsand hvac control switches also go completely out. The only light on in the area is the small green light showing which hvac button has been selected. The instrument panel lights do light up andare controllable with the dimmer switch.i have checked the fuses; none were blown. I can cope with the problemby turning onthe interior overhead light to see the controls.just very inconvenientand creating a unsafe condition.this is a problem with earlier model years (2003-2004) of this model run. In 2007 honda issued a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty extension letter for these years. There is also a service bulletin for these repairs. Perhaps honda should havne extended this warranty extension to include the 2005 models.
I was leaving a store on hull st. And my car was at about 40 mph and all of a sudden stopped moving and i felt that it was something bad so i cut the car off and restarted my car and it started up nicely once i switched gears from park to reverse the car didn't move. So i went to put car into park and there was a really loud noise which scared me crazy. I cut the car back off and it began to roll backwards in the park gear so i had to put the car emergency break on to keep in place. Monday morning which i'd today i get my car towed to aamco and they diagnostic my car as a shaft failure which had broken which caused the car to make the loud noise when placed in the park gear and the car doesn't realize which gear it's in because it is broken inside the transmission
May 4, 2015, 2005 honda accord v6 stalled and all systems non-functional while driving.accord rear-ended a car at rest at a stop sign.in november 2011, the transmission gave out on freeway.vehicle stayed on and i was able to quickly coast off the freeway, but drive train was out and needed to be replaced (105k miles).this transmission failure seems to be consistent with other nhtsa reports.in april, 2011 the accord began stalling and all systems failed while the car was in drive and moving.in may, 2012 the dch honda of temecula found faulty throttle sensor and replaced the part.the vehicle has not experienced this problem again until this failure and accident.i see several reports of accords stalling on this site.is this a known problem? my daughter was fortunate this didn't happen when approaching oncoming traffic or the freeway.this seems like a serious safety issue.
Dt*: the contact stated while parked in a driveway, the vehicle's ignition did not start.the contact tried to start the vehicle 4 times, with no success.a slight loss of vehicle power was noticed while starting up, a day prior to the incident.neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted.
At first, when putting the car into gear, there would be a delay before the vehicle actually accepted that gear--anywhere from 6-10 seconds, along with a grinding noise when i would go from drive to park.i immeduately called my dealer and took it over there and explained to them what had been happening.given the mileage of my car, the manager of the service dept took the car out for a drive on the highway (with me), and tried to see if the gears were in fact slipping and i would need tranny work.after the test drive, it was decided that they would drain all the transmission fluid and replace it with new.this worked well for about 2 weeks, and then we had a big cold snap here in colorado.after that, it all went south.my car would no longer shift into 2nd or 3rd without a lot of noise.called the dealer, and by the time we got it there, the car was barely moving at 40mph on a major highway.when i purchased this car three years ago, the odometer read 42,000 miles.today it reads 67,000.really?i have transmission failure at 67,000??????thank goodness i have a highly competent service manager at the dealership who went to bat for me and called honda directly.i received a "goodwill" repair, but am still forking over $1568 for a new transmission.obviously, honda has not fixed their transmission problems.i believe another recall needs to be issued sooner, rather than later.
Radio reception.we have the accord with the satellite/radio combination with a cd player.the antenna is located in the rear window.the radio reception, in either am or fm is unacceptable.the local honda garage has offered to replace the radio but insists that the problem is in the antenna design.the reception is terrible.stations that are easily heard in other vehicles we own or have owned is simply much better.this is annoying at best.i would not have purchased this vehicle had i known the radio reception was so bad.
My 2005 honda accord lx v6 srs light illuminated at approx. 63000 miles. The honda dealer diagnosed the problem to dtc 71-10 (broken driver seat sensor harness). Honda had a safety recall (service bulletin 07-002)regarding this problem in january 2007. My vehicle was not included in the recall. Out of pocket cost $203.29.i have seen many other complaints lodged with the nhtsa on this matter. Why was this recall not expanded?
Door lock remote fails to open locks.if i'm inside the car, sometimes the driver's door lock will be jammed down, and key will not open from outside.nothing worked, i had to crawl over the console and exit by the passenger door.definitely a safety issue, since it could happen in an emergency.
The rear power window switches are not working the windows are not going up or down...
Sudden acceleration of car.pulling into a car bay, almost stationery.accelerator appeared to be sucked away from under foot.brakes applied, but car accelerated very fast over the curb and into wooden bollards (hitting so hard it ripped them out of ground, and broke in two), the car felt like cruise control had kicked in.i did not "accidentally" hit the accelerator, and my floor mats are no where near the accelerator (they are hooked down).vin [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

His vehicle was repaired according to recall #07v097000 (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump) . However the repair did not remedy the failure. The dealer then updated the ecm. A week later the failure resurfaced. A technician had to repair the wiring harness from underneath of the ignition, but the vehicle continued to fail. The manufacuturer was notified, but no assistance was provided. The failure and current mileages were 68,0000.

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.
Even though i regularly maintain my car, my car stalls at random while driving and the steering also locks up. This is extremely dangerous -the malfunction could have killed me or potentially caused a serious accident. This incident happened while i was driving down a busy street road - there was no warning, and no indicator lights went off prior to this happening - the car just shut off (stalled) and the steering locked up! luckily i was able to get to the side of the road.i will never feel safe in a honda again. Updated 10/1/2014

Our 2005 honda accord severely overheated while driving in extremely congested traffic on a nearly 100 degree day.the dealer, where the car has been serviced continuously since new, verified that there was no fuse for the cooling fan.there is no credible answer for this absence.
Instrument lights in panel for hvac/audio system are not lit.one night they stopped working.exact same issue as this:make: hondamodel: accordyear: 2005complaint number: 10241768summary:the audio unit display lights do not come on when the headlights are turned on. The radio dial, clock, and hvac control switches are not lit. The only light on in the area is the small green light showing which hvac button has been selected. The instrument panel lights do light up are controllable with the dimmer switch. This problem came on suddenly - one night they worked when i turned on the headlights and the next night they did not work. So far this is a consistent problem. I have checked the fuses; none were blown. As a driver i can cope with the problem this time of the year, but as winter sets in and the windshield needs to be cleared of interior fog with the defroster i will not be able to see which control to hit creating an unsafe situation. This was/is a problem with earlier model years (2003-2004) of this model run. In 2007 honda issued a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty extension letter for these years. There is also a service bulletin for these repairs.
The door actuators are not working, its the 2 left side only work on cold days. Now, don't use the back doors and mostly use the drivers side.

The navigation system on my 2005 accord sedan is not working. The screen displays "check your disk" but it also affects the a/c-heater fan control, radio preset stations, clock settings, steering wheel controls. This to me is a manufacturer defect and should be recalled. Many people are having the same or similar issue. My main concern is the lack of not being able to adjust the fan on either a/c or heater, it seems to all be connected to the navigation system. Please help! this needs to be looked at as a safety recall, in case of foggy window i will not be able to increase the fan control. How do i know you took my concern in consideration?once again, please help!

I was driving my honda accord 2005 ex to work today from burke to ft belvoir, va, and 25 minutes into the drive, the car stalled on fairfax county in the passing lane. This has happened twice, each about 3 weeks apart. When the car stalls, the ignition immobilizer switch light immediately flashes. I have to stop the moving car, and restart it, which is extremely dangerous. I called honda, and was told that there is not a recall for this symptom.the symptoms is similar to what is referenced on this website.http://www.visualimpressions.ca/switch/.
When cruise control is pressed the main cruise light comes on like it's supposed to but then whwn you press the aet button nothing takes place.the light blinks on for 1 second but that is the end of that.i looked under the hood and noticed the cruise control wire cable is hanging in mid air about 3inches away from throttle body.it still has the small barrel on the end of the cable for attaching to something.

Hello, i am very upset/concerned because i have an 2005 honda accord. I know multiple people with different years of an accord along with one person with an 05. We are all having the same issue with our windows rolling up and down. I have been working on this issue sine 2010, and broke down and paid for the repair today. The main switch went out in the car. The main window works but the rest of the windows don't work. Why is this not considered a recall? several people are having the same issue. I don't feel like i should of paid for the repair today, however i had no choice. I think that this is something honda needs to look into, also the factory stereos. My stereo went out a couple of weeks ago, i have only one person that experienced this problem, but i think it needs to be looked into.

Theback light where the radio is keeps coming in and out.the radio would work, and then not work. I can be in the middle of a song and it will go off. I can also be silent and it go on. The light with no letters would stay on the whole time. When i wanted the radio to sound i would have to disconnect the battery and connect it back up. At this point i will need to replace the radio. There is no recall for the 2005 radio, but there is for the 2003-2004. If its the same radio and people are having to replace a radio that should work, then why is there no recall. I am not the only owner of a 2005 honda accord that this is happening to.i replaced the fuse thinking it was this. It works for a while and then i realized that the fuses where no blown. Please have this as a recall and the people at honda are not very helpful even when they admit to having other owners come in with the same problem.
Non working front passenger and rear windows. Try to roll others 3 widows down you can hear the switch click at the switch on the door you are trying at.

I was driving on interstate 20/59 near ft. Payne, alabama with the cruise control set on 75 mph.i changed lanes to pass a slower car but did not touch the gas pedal.the car started to accelerate on its own.i tapped the breaks to turn cruise control off but the car continued to accelerate without touching the gas pedal.the acceleration was not a full throttle acceleration, just a moderate increase.i then shifted the car from drive to neutral and the rpm's jumped up to redline, again without touching the gas pedal.luckily, a rest area was approaching and i managed to pull the car into the rest area parking lot playing with the drive/neutral of the transmission and using the brakes.once i made it to a parking space i turned the car off and shifted it into park.i waited a few seconds and turned the car back on.the rpm's again jumped up to redline without me touching the gas pedal.i shut the car off again and put my foot underneath the gas pedal and pulled up.i cranked the car again and it acted normal.i checked under the hood and everything looked fine.after some deliberation, we decided to continue on our trip and the car was fine for the next 4.5 hours.we drove back sunday, may 19 and the car again drove fine for 6.5 hours and hasn't had a problem since.the morning before the incident, i changed the alternator and oil.i strongly believe that this had nothing to do with the alternator or oil change.also, i doubled checked the carpet mat in the car and it was not even close to the gas pedal.i am not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem with a honda accord.i am a mechanical engineer and i am dumbfounded by this.being in a car with uncontrollable acceleration is quite unnerving.
Windows wont come down, its a electric problem, certain lights in the car nwould go on and off example tale light. Tire problems, and other stuff
If you leave the radio on for more than 2 minutes with the car off, it refuses to start.either must jump start or wait 10 minutes or so before the engine will start again.this has happened 4-5 times.after starting, everything is good until you happened to do this again.
Initially only the drivers door and right rear passenger door would lock or unlock, whether inside the car, using the key, or using the key fob. Beginning yesterday, all the door locks will neither lock nor unlock using any of the previously mentinoed methods, the lights at the bottom of the door will not turn off, and the dash symbol showing all doors ajar stays on constantly. I initally assumed it was the door actuators but after researching the problem, it seems to point towards an issue regarding three relays which are soldered on what's called a multiplex control unit located under the dash on the left. Safety issue is i can't lock or unlock the doors.
Dt:contact states after driving her vehicle approximately 10 minutes there was a loud knocking noise coming from the engine, causing the vehicle to vibrate.the service dealer could not find whatwas wrong with the vehicle.the service dealer did replace a speaker because he thought this might fix the problem.this did not remedy the problem. . vehicle had been to the service dealer on 3 separate occasions, totaling approximately 15 days.

The seat belts will lock when trying to pull them and it dont matter if its in motion or stationary.

Starting at around 70k miles, the radio display backlight does not light up intermittently. Although the radio and controls work, it is impossible to view the time, radio volume, or station number without the assistance of an independent light source such as the overhead light. There has been a recall for this issue for the 2003-2004 model year. This recall should be extended to the 2005 model year as well because there is no major difference in audio unit design.

I have an 05 honda accord coupe.neither window will roll down, had the relay switch replaced but 6 months later back to the same problem.radio would go on and off, even when car was off.now the radio will not come on at all unless i unplug/plug the battery, then the result is only temporary.now the cruise control button will not work.if i push it down the green indicator light comes on but the button will not stay engaged.i've seen so many of the same complaints i was sure there was a recall i missed but there isn't??!!
Over 6 months ago, i noticed that the light which shows what gear you are in on the shift column on the floorboard wasn't staying lit.sometimes it would come on when i started the car and other times not.sometimes if i thumped on the shifter on purpose, it would come back on.then several weeks ago my radio stopped working.at first there was no sound but then a very loud weird noise started happening and it is extremely loud.the only way to stop the noise is to turn the radio off.then at other times you turn on the radio and it works fine.not long after that i was driving one night and all the lights on the dash flicked off and on again very quickly.it did it several times during my 3 hour trip and then stopped and i hadn't noticed it again until today.today my husband was driving and the check engine light came on and stayed on.i know sometimes if you don't click your fuel cap three times after refueling it can cause the light to come on but i have not refueled in several weeks.a few minutes later the abs light came on, went off and then came on again.shortly after this, all the lights on the dash flashed on and off again several times very quickly.the battery is not that old and this can happen whether it's wet or dry conditions.the user manual said the check engine light is emission related but there are so many other things happening that i wonder if this is some sort of electrical problem.it is scary when it happens because suddenly all the lights on the dash cannot be seen so you can't see the speedometer needle or anything.it's ok if it happens in daylight but is truly unsafe if it happens at night.

Dt*:the contact stated that when the vehicle is started, there is a zapping noise coming from below the steering wheel, accompanied by a smell of burning plastic.the vehicle was taken to a service dealer where the dealer was unable to determine the problem.
Dt*:the contact stated during sudden, hard braking the vehicle pulled to the right.then a few days later, during normal braking, the vehicle pulled to the left.the dealership was unable to determine a problem.then while traveling 30 mph on a slushy downhill road the brake pedal was depressed and the brakes did not respond.the vehicle rear ended another vehicle.there was a police report taken at the scene.the driver received minor injuries.the vehicle was driven to the dealership, where repairs were made for property damage.the dealership was unable to determine the problem with the brakes.the vehicle was taken to another dealership and an independent repair shop, which was unable to determine the problem as well.there was a rough idle when coming to a stop. The headlights flicker at times. Updated 07/05/06.
Wipers and wiper washer stopped working; no blown fuses involved; keyless entry system not working; remote control is now opening just the trunk but nothing else; radio backlight not working & power steering gets hard in cold weather or after driving on streets or roads with little maneuver. Even after pump replacement.
My front passenger power window and the two back windows have stopped working completely.they cannot be opened.i looked online and this seems to be a common problem with the honda accords.it is dangerous.they just stopped one day.
All of a sudden one day the gps navigation system stopped working completely. My car's make/model uses the gps navigation panel to manually change internal functions, access the trip computer, enter addresses, et cetera. Without use of the navigation panel, i have severely limited access to most of my car's electronic functions. The navigation gets stuck on the start-up screen (something that looks blue/black with words 'honda'), and never gets to the second warning screen (orange text on black), where one can push 'ok on the touch screen. When the weather is warmer, sometimes i can push this ok button to get into the controls. I usually have 30 seconds until it fails again.the following issues are present: 1) cds; i cannot select a cd to listen to. I can eject/put cds in, but i can only change songs using the controls on my steering wheel. 2) climate control/temperature control: i cannot switch from the a/c to heat. I can only adjust the temperature up/down, recirculate air, or turn on front/rear defrost. For any temperature setting, when i push the 'off' button, i cannot turn the same setting back on with the 'auto' button. If i push the 'auto' button, it recalls some random last temperature settings, usually a very cold a/c setting (which i never programmed or desired). 3) maps; i can't enter any addresses, therefore, the navigation is useless. If it magically works, it turns off shortly after an address is entered. The navi 'lock-up' situation i described here has been present for over a year or so. Weather does affect it. My research concludes that many other honda owners had this issue. Many were told by honda directly that honda didn't know what the issue is, and to contact alpine, the manufacturer of the gps navi. Most customers who did this were told to send their whole cd/dvd reader unit to alpine for repair, which costs several hundred dollars.
My alternator is covered in alternator fluid including my serpentine belt all the way to my power steering reservoir . Also i've been noticing a loss of power in my vehicle , when i pump gas i try to fill it up and it wont fill up all the way to full it stays 1/4 less of full .

Driving on the highway, there was a pop and the car lost all propulsion.an original factory installed spark plug had blown out of its hole, damaging the cylinder head and destroying several coils, rendering the car undriveable and leaving me with a $4,000 repair job.from internet honda chat boards, it is apparent that this problem has occurred in as many as 1 in 600 honda accords, generally with the number 5 spark plug on the v6 models.
While driving approximately 40 mph engine stalled.cause of problem was undetermined.the dealer said they forgot to hookthe alternator to the battery. Consumer didn't like the way the car was driving and didn't feel comfortable.the brakes also performed poorly.
My car stalls and lost power when i was driving on freeway at high speed and when i accelerate, car is almost lost power and i have to slow down.

Car sat for 3 weeks in the winter of 2013. I was on maternity leave. I left for my first day of work and my battery was dead. I replaced the battery. All of a sudden it was a domino effect. Radio doesn't work. It circles through fm1 fm2 and am about 3 times before it rests on am. None of my windows roll down except my drivers side. I've checked all fuses.... I've replaced the master window switch and nothing... So many people are having the same issue but no one says how to fix it or why it hasn't been issued as a recall. Also my disk changer happened to eat my cd and wont cycle through aux or cd at all. I've taken this car to the dealership.. They told me to replace the master switch and i did... Which was very expensive and it did nothing but cost me more money because now my auto key locks wont respond. Im pissed.
While driving vehicle transmission abruptly went into a down shift causing the vehicle to slow down while traveling at a high speed. Recall # r89
Radio, including cd, on 2005 honda accord will turn on and off intermittently for no reason while car is parked and locked with no key in ignition.if radio volume is high and/or cd was on when car was turned off, this will drain the battery, especially if the cd player comes on.several times this killed the battery.workaround solution - make sure volume is at zero and radio is off before parking car.
My vehicle was parked in the parking lot of a grocery store. I was on my home from work and had stopped to purchase a few items. The engine was turned off. I had been in the store for about 10 minutes when i heard the loudspeaker asking for the owner of a 2005 gold honda accord to come to the customer service counter. When i approached the person behind the counter, he asked me to look outside to see if the vehicle on fire was, in fact, my car. Smoke was coming from the engine of my car and two vehicles from the fire department were trying to put out the fire. The car was totaled.honda insisted it was my fault, but i found out much later that engine fires had occurred in other 2005 accords. State farm gave me the replacement value for the vehicle, but it wasn't enough to purchase a car of equal value. The honda accord was still under warranty. I felt i should have been compensated for the entire cost of the car. Plus, if the fire had occurred while i was driving, i might not be here writing this letter to you.i was just recently made aware of some of the recalls from honda for this exact problem. I believe honda should take ownership of this problem and compensate me fairly for my loss. I have the vin number and all of the paperwork from state farm, including photos of the damage to car taken after the fire.
The audio unit display lights do not come on when the headlights are turned on.the radio dial, clock, and hvac control switches are not lit. The only light on in the area is the small green light showing which hvac button has been selected.the instrument panel lights do light up are controllable with the dimmer switch.this problem came on suddenly - one night they worked when i turned on the headlights and the next night they did not work. So far this is a consistent problem.i have checked the fuses; none were blown.as a driver i can cope with the problem this time of the year, but as winter sets in and the windshield needs to be cleared of interior fog with the defroster i will not be able to see which control to hit creating an unsafe situation.this was/is a problem with earlier model years (2003-2004) of this model run.in 2007 honda issued a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty extension letter for these years.there is also a service bulletin for these repairs.
I have a 2005 honda accord hybrid. The ima battery has spontaneously discharged.no one knows where the electrical current is going when this happens.
4/13/2007. 2005 hybrid. Consumer states that the vehicle operates with gas or the nickel-metal hydride battery pack. The ima battery leaked fumes and the fumes corroded locking the mechanism of the trunk. *mcthe door release cable for the gas door had to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 mph, the horn was depressed and failed. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the horn and driver's side air bag needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. However, the contact was concerned about the method used to replace the air bag. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While the contact wasdriving approximately 50 mph in heavy traffic, there was an excessive increase in engine rpms. The brake pedal was engaged and the vehicle lunged forward and failed to stop. When the gear was shifted into the park position the vehicle was able to stop. The gear selector would not shift out of the park position, and the ignition key would not turn or release from the ignition. The police was at the scene and he was able to shift into the drive range after several attempts. The ignition key suddenly turned and the vehicle was able to resume normally. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the technician was unable to duplicate the problem. The computerized system was updated. The failure occurred on a separate occasion. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 29,788. Updated 11/03/10. *ljupdated 12/7/10

I have owned a 2005 honda accord since sept. 2005.both of the car key casements have broken without abuse during this time.now that may seem trivial, but they do so without warning due to extremely bad design/engineering.they seem to have been designed to fail.to replace them i have been told that each key would cost $67 and the programming another $88.without the case being attached to the key, the ignition will not operate.if someone were somewhere in the country along way from civilization, what would one do?this is why i am complaining,and why this is a safety issue.the price for replacement is also outrageous.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord.while driving approximately 30 mph on normal road conditions, the engine stalled without warning.the engine restarted and the vehicle resumed normal operation.the contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing and nhtsa campaign id numbers 05v132000 (electrical system;uses circuit breakers) and 07v097000 (fuel system, gasoline;delivery:fuel pump) were discovered.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the vin was not included in the recalls, although the failures were identical.currently, the fuse box is being replaced at the contact's expense.the vin was unknown.the failure and current mileages were 60,000.
Takata recall.i took my 2005 honda accord to honda world in westminster, california and was told there's no recall for my airbags even though i have received notices in the mail and the airbag light turns off and on.the vehicle is in motion on city streets or highway, whether go straight or turning, the airbag light turns off and on.this dealer has refused to check the airbags unless i pay and says there's no recall for the airbags though i've received notices.
Repeatedly stopping. With no warnings.when driving, engine quit in january, would not move or even turn over.the manual transmission would not move. Door locks, electric as well as with the key could not be used at. Called aaa to be able to open the door.jumped the battery to move the car.still frozen in gear.had it towed to two dealers.said the clutch was destroyed. Prior to this issue, not one problem. I had to pay 250.00 for diagnostics to tell me clutch was burned out.i have driven over 34 years and always had a manual transmission. After clutch was replaced, it did it again and again. At this point, we bought a new battery.once again, i called aaa and they jumped the battery.i am requesting an investigation into the constant electrical freeze.iwould like a refund of the diagnostic. Charges and repairs. Clutch was installed for 1500.00. Battery was120.00.please call [xxx].as soon as possible. Alt number is [xxx].

I were driving on freeway 405 near ucla at 55mph.there wasa completed flat tire on my left front wheel of honda accord 2005.i felt the flat tire and see the abs light on my dash board turned on.after complete flat tire, the tire debris rip off my abs sensor wire for the left front wheel.my rim has no damage.since my tire is only a few months old, so i get free replacement from costco.i think the honda has a bad design on the abs sensor wire to my left front wheel.the abs sensor wire is not properly covered.the flat tire debris ripped off the abs sensor wire.contact honda customer service about this. They said it is not their issue.i think a properly design car should not have anything rip off when a complete flat tire happened.honda should have covered the abs wire more effectively.
I previously drove my aunt's 2005 honda accord hybrid on several occasions.almost as soon as the vehicle was purchased, on more than one occasion, the brakes failed and caused accidents.the accelerator would also accelerate on its own.the car would simply speed up on its own.the car would also at times stop or turn off on its own.i assumed because the car was a hybrid or different that it was normal.at times when accidents would occur, i couldn't believe what had happened.the car literally drove away.a few times others drove the car and mentioned the same.my aunt previously tried trading in thevehicle, but it was too expensive to trade in.on january 11,2011.a fatal accident occurred while driving this vehicle.my mother, whom is a precautious driver was driving my cousin to school and were involved in a fatal car accident.the honda struck a school bus right in the middle.i believe the car like on many other occasions accelerated on its own or the brakes failed.i feel devastated that i have lost my mother and cousin because of this accident, but feel that my mother was not at fault.she was always a safe driver and in this case i believe the vehicle was at fault.
Purchased car in 2007 - died while driving 2 wks later: new battery supposedly. Had batter/electric problems repaired thru starter, new batteries and alternators every other year. Today: 6/5/18 - car has electrical problem & so today i enter vin # into nhtsa website with results: " a broken outer race may cause abnormal noise, the malfunction indicator light to turn on, and allow contact between the transmission idle gear and an electronic sensor housing within the transmission" called honda hdqtrs and can't do anything
My car is not equipped with stability control, but it does have traction control, which can be disabled by a switch on the left end of the dashboard. The traction control seems to work well at speeds above 30 mph, but when starting out, if the car hits a slippery patch, instead of pulsing the brakes to keep the wheels from spinning, as the chrysler lhs i owned previously did, it simply gives up, cutting most of the engine power, leaving the car unable to go more than 2 or 3 mph. This is extremely dangerous when crossing intersections with stop signs and can even create a hazard when the intersection is controlled by a stop light. It can be avoided by disabling the traction control system before hand, but the disable button won't work if unless the car is at a complete stop, creating a panic situation if the system kicks in unexpectedly. No car should be allowed on the road with a system like this, but my understanding is that a number of other makes exhibit the same behavior, possibly due to a common vendor. There are traffic deaths due to improperly timed intersection crossings every day, and given the behavior of systems like this, i find it hard to believe that no deaths have resulted from it. I've been lucky enough to recognize the system's bad behavior and disable it more often than i would have to disable a properly designed system; the average driver should not be faced with such a burden. Please take action against all of the companies that allowed a system like this to get onto our roads. Please note that i listed the "date of incident" as the first occurrence i recall, because a date was required, but this has been happening, and i have been taking precautions to avoid it, from the time i got the car in 2006 up to now. Thank you.
I have a honda accord v6 2005 model car and maintenance done as per manuals. I am now getting jerks while accelerating or after starting and putting car in reverse gear.the check engine light turned on now. I did a code scan and getting code p0741. This is an issue with transmission power. I did some google and found that honda had this manufacturing defect in this model and lot of car were recalled for this reason. I found nhtsa campaign id number : 11v395000 addressing similar problem and as of 23rd september 2014, 1.5 million (1512107) vehicles has been recalled for similar issue.the honda recall number is r89 and the recall was placed on august 27th 2011, for honda accords 2005-2010 for the transmission.this issue is transmission power is not working as expected and it jerks while changing gear or speed. This is dangerous from driving safety point of view.i need help by the nhtsa as i strongly feel that my case is genuine and with reference to nhtsa campaign id number : 11v395000, my vehicle should be considered for this recall by american honda. On that note, i do hope to receive a resolution response , in a timely manner, from your executive team or someone else that is in a position to do the right thing.
I was driving on interstate 20/59 near ft. Payne, alabama with the cruise control set on 75 mph.i changed lanes to pass a slower car but did not touch the gas pedal.the car started to accelerate on its own.i tapped the breaks to turn cruise control off but the car continued to accelerate without touching the gas pedal.the acceleration was not a full throttle acceleration, just a moderate increase.i then shifted the car from drive to neutral and the rpm's jumped up to redline, again without touching the gas pedal.luckily, a rest area was approaching and i managed to pull the car into the rest area parking lot playing with the drive/neutral of the transmission and using the brakes.once i made it to a parking space i turned the car off and shifted it into park.i waited a few seconds and turned the car back on.the rpm's again jumped up to redline without me touching the gas pedal.i shut the car off again and put my foot underneath the gas pedal and pulled up.i cranked the car again and it acted normal.i checked under the hood and everything looked fine.after some deliberation, we decided to continue on our trip and the car was fine for the next 4.5 hours.we drove back sunday, may 19 and the car again drove fine for 6.5 hours and hasn't had a problem since.the morning before the incident, i changed the alternator and oil.i strongly believe that this had nothing to do with the alternator or oil change.also, i doubled checked the carpet mat in the car and it was not even close to the gas pedal.i am not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem with a honda accord.i am a mechanical engineer and i am dumbfounded by this.being in a car with uncontrollable acceleration is quite unnerving.
The #2 spark plug shot out of the engine thru the ignition coil, stripped the threads of the cylinder, hit the firewall, and caused the engine to lose power immediately while on the freeway. Repair costs quoted by dealer were $6200 to replace cylinder or $4650 plus $700 machining costs to repair.in reading the blogs of others, this defect is related to the v6 vtec engines and always involves the first or second cylinder only. In one case the honda manufacturer agreed to share the repair cost.
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.
Put car on parked car kept moving on parking stall . Also when turning car on push breaks and put on drive jumps hard and when pushing on breaks does not break on time have to push breaks to the floor
Driving on the highway, there was a pop and the car lost all propulsion.an original factory installed spark plug had blown out of its hole, damaging the cylinder head and destroying several coils, rendering the car undriveable and leaving me with a $4,000 repair job.from internet honda chat boards, it is apparent that this problem has occurred in as many as 1 in 600 honda accords, generally with the number 5 spark plug on the v6 models.
Hi. I got an accident about 3 week ago. My vehicle was damaged at front of bumper and the airbag driver side is pull out, but the cost is too expensive for repair my car. I don't have that much at the moment. Can you help me? please
Windows wont come down, its a electric problem, certain lights in the car nwould go on and off example tale light. Tire problems, and other stuff
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle shut off while making a turn. All the warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired with a new battery; however, the vehicle had to be placed into park before it would restart. The failure continued intermittently. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 132,747.
On several occasions i've experienced my car pulling itself to drive forward when i am at a complete stop.
Takata recall -i am the owner of a beautiful 2005 honda accord ex.i am the original and only owner of my car. My car has this issue where it is burning excessive oil and engine siezes. (i mean really bad). I would get an oil change today and car would be out of oil within 2weeks...i've spent over 3000k dollars on trying to figure what the problem was and no mechanic could figure it out. I finally went to a special mechanic who finally did some research and figured out that this was a known issue by honda and have not yet done a recall for the issue. Apparently based on articles from the honda/braman and takata sites (www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord that after 80k miles the engine burns excessive oil in the engine. My car takes "full synthetic" so its gotten to be really expensive to own this car. To mention,the car has no leaks, all parts are in working order. I called and filed a complaint with the website since january 2017 and have not heard anything back. I would like to get this issue fixed and put my car back to normal. This issue is affecting other areas of the car like the radio, the back lights. I have to check and put oil in the car every couple days so that my engine doesnt seize.
Having the dreaded oil burning problem with this vehicle and had to replace my engine 4 times since december 2015. I tried to take it to the dealership the 1st time thinking they would have a solution to this known problem with this year and make of their car. They played extremely dumb and said they never heard of the issue i was having and that i was the first one they heard it from even though it's worldwide on many threads & forums. The problem starts off the same the oil lights starts flashing (meaning the oil level is low), then the check engine lights comes on, and then your screwed due to a blown piston or possible engine seizure if you continue to drive it. Somehow the oil burns internally and consumes all the oil within a short period of time. 200 miles into a fresh oil change and the car is bone dry with no leaks spot. Each engine i replaced it with had between 50k-80k miles on it and the spark plugs, wires, oil filter and oil was replaced every time. Within 1-2 months the same oil burning problem happens. I spent well over $8,000, almost lost my job and had to drop out of college due to the inconvenience it has caused me all within a 10 month period.
I was driving home, i fell asleep at the wheel approaching a stop light. I hit the corner of the vehicle in front of me and my front left and kinda in the middle (hood area) was smashed in almost to my windshield. None of my airbags deployed & i hit my face on the steeling wheel causing my teeth to go through my bottom lip & broke my nose. Insurance claimed it as a total loss.
When i first purchased my honda, it was brought back to the dealer several times for a "shaking" at certain speeds.this was dismissed over and over and blamed on tire air pressure and alignment.i knew this could not be the cause and found other honda drivers complaining about the same issue.recently, the passenger side tire came disengaged while driving the vehicle causing the car to crash down on the rotor.the vehicle was at a dealership recently for a repair, i believe this issue has been over looked by honda and could have caused severe injury to myself or other drivers.it appears the shaking directly caused this issue with the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While driving at any speed, the driver stopped at an intersection and the vehicle idled at a high speed. The driver had to apply extra pressure to the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from accelerating. During the failure, the contact had to shift into neutral and turn off the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the throttle body was replaced twice; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 167,000.
Owner:i hit a dip with this accord 3.0 with vtec engine was driving down street when car made funny noise and the steering got hard to turn. Pulled over and found power steering was leaking. Drove it to shop ordered hose then dropped hose with fluid at repair shop. Technician: power steering hose broke hard and old leaking fluid everywhere causing cerpintine belt come off. The hardened power steering hose broke due to fact that breaking of 2 passenger side motor mount to bracket bolts in bracket causing engine to raise during acceleration and pulling on hoses. Car drove in ok. After replacing bracket and hose noticed water leaking from behind timing belt and removed top cover. Found water pump leaking weep hole and found idler pulley and bolt came loose and fell off.(idler pulley has a special bolt with washer end that if dont wiggle the pully while tightening can tighten pulley tweaked and not complete also use loctite) also found the harmonic balancer bolt to be over torqued making it near impossible to remove without special octagon holding tool. Of course customer doesn't understand how so many things are wrong when all he saw was broken power steering hose.(which when fluid leaks can also catch car on fire) now we suggested replacement of water pump and timing kit but customer wants vehicle immediately and feels we created these other problems on purpose which left me no choice but to do labor for free just to prove im not! the lift of engine and fluid leak caused several bushings to come apart. He must have hit dip hard.
My airbags are off my door lock is broke i tried to lock the car one day the alarm went off and when i tried to put the key in the driver door the spring popped out so i haven'tbeen able to lock my car . I put my car in the shop and once i did a few days later the maintenance required light came on.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While driving 32 mph, the engine misfired and then stalled. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing and repairs, but the specifics were not provided. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The car sporadically turns off while driving. Before the car shuts off sometimes the dashboard lights will flicker. The check engine light will sometimes go on for a day or two and then turn off. The car was checked out by three nys mechanics who all drove the car at length only to determine that nothing was wrong. One of the mechanics was from a honda dealership.
Airbags failed to deploy upon impact of collision.
The car went into full throttle while waiting at a light while my foot was on the brake, throwing me out and into the intersection and getting hit by on coming traffic. My foot was no where near or on the gas pedal.
Drive light started flashing while on the freeway at the speed of 60 mph.took it to the honda dealership for maintenance and i informed them of the flashing drive light.later advised me after the intermediate maintenance is done that the transmission needs to be replaced that will cost me $5,000 (on sale for $4100) plus the intermediate maintenance of $313.00. The car has 137 k miles. Is this vehicle part of any transmission recall at this mileage or is it part of the engine' s wear and tear?please advise. Thank you.
On several occasions my 05 accord coupe will stay accelerated when brakes are pressed, in neutral,or releasing the accelerater. On several occasions i have pressed the brake only to not slow down. Thankfully i was on open highway. This has happened and continues to happen on city streets and highways. At low speeds and high.

The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While the vehicle was idling at a red light, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact restarted the vehicle and it operated normally. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled on two other occasions. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 144,000.
Dt*:the contact stated during sudden, hard braking the vehicle pulled to the right.then a few days later, during normal braking, the vehicle pulled to the left.the dealership was unable to determine a problem.then while traveling 30 mph on a slushy downhill road the brake pedal was depressed and the brakes did not respond.the vehicle rear ended another vehicle.there was a police report taken at the scene.the driver received minor injuries.the vehicle was driven to the dealership, where repairs were made for property damage.the dealership was unable to determine the problem with the brakes.the vehicle was taken to another dealership and an independent repair shop, which was unable to determine the problem as well.there was a rough idle when coming to a stop. The headlights flicker at times. Updated 07/05/06.

2005 honda accord fire danger.the catalytic converter heat shields fell off while driving and almost caused an accident.the catalytic converter is warranted 8 years or 80,000 miles. My honda only had about 45,000 when the catalytic converter heat shields failed.i took the auto to a honda dealer. The dealer contacted the honda company customer service representative and she refused to pay any part of the repair.we also called the honda representative several times without any help from honda.this person refused to let me speak to her supervisor.the reason the catalytic converter has heat shields are to prevent fires from heat given off by the catalytic converter.the auto is unsafe without the heat shields which surround, and are part of the catalytic converter a major emission control devises.
My o2 sensor went out on my 2005 honda accord and was stalling out and it was powerless would not go anywhere. I replaced the o2 sensor but it still stalls out.
The mass air flow sensor has major issues. During the normal course of driving the car became sluggish on going uphill like losing power. Then the check engine light would come on. We took it to a dealer and they informed us that it was the mass airflow sensor. We had it replaced. Then about 6 months later the same thing happened again and we took the vehicle to the dealer and again it was the mass airflow sensor. This time the dealer cleaned the sensor and informed my wife that according to specs that the sensor could require cleaning after something like 80 hours of operation. This was crazy and i asked the dealer do they have the garage lined with accords getting their mass airflow sensor cleaned? that did not make common sense. Then about another 6 months later the vehicle did it again. We took the vehicle to the dealer and informed them that it was going to be the sensor again. They said well we have to look at the code. I told them that i had been through this twice before and i wanted the underlying problem found. They called me back about 2 hours later and informed that the code read the mass airflow sensor. I told them that i told them that on the paperwork when i dropped the car off and i asked them what was the underlying problem causing this. They said they could only go by the code. That showed me that the dealers have no idea about their own vehicles. This did not start until the vehicle had about 40000 miles on it and it seems to be happening every six months. I have lost faith in this vehicle and its reliability. First happened april 2007, then again december 2007 and the last time was may 7 2008.
Honda accord 2005 v6under 25,000 miles suddenly started having problems with the automatic transmissionwhich finally failed on may 2011 while driving on the highway. A complete automatic transmission overhaul and torque converter change were performed at a honda dealer at a cost of over $2600. New transmission felt great during the first 3 months (even though it torque converter started leaking oil and i had to take it to the dealer for repair) but recently i have notice abrupt delays (slow down) while shifting gears, like its is pulling you back and strange kicks while shifting. Car accelerates slower as well and does not react as quickly or smoothly as new. I took the car to the same honda dealer and they say nothing is wrong with the transmission.

Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds and hitting bumps, the vehicle bounced.the dealer determined the vehicle performed as designed.also, to defog the windshield the heater has to be on.the dealer indicated the defogger performed as designed.the contact further stated while driving various speeds in wet weather, the vehicle stalled without warning.the vehicle was maneuvered off the road and restarted.it was driven to the dealer who could not duplicate the problem.
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.
I have been driving my 2005 accord lx since 12/04.initially the engine seemed to be a bit racy but i reasoned that it was due to the fact that the engine needed to be broke in.as time and miles accumulated, from time to time the engine would race even after more than enough time to warm up.about a year ago, i went by the local honda dealer for another issue when i asked the (service manager) about my "racy engine."his quick response was that the engine needed to warm up to a certain temperature, and it was implied that this was normal performance for my car's engine.over the past 21/2 years that i have driven the car, i always make it a point to leave extra room in front of me whenever i stop behind another car because the car will lunge forward.to prevent the "lunge," i must ease up on the brake slightly periodically rather than "stand" on the brake. On 04.19.07,i rear ended the car in front of me as i came to a stop at a traffic light.there was very slight damage to each of the vehicles.i received a citation and possibly 2 points on an otherwise pristine driving record.as i calmed myself as the day continued, i wondered if there may be some defect that may need to be corrected.thank you for your time.
Dt:contact stated that while sitting at a stop light on a hill andtakingfoot off the brakesthe vehicle rolledbackward. Dealer and manufacturer told her this was normal for this type of vehicle. She was told the idle was lower for a quieter ride, and it didnot have the power the hold the vehicle on a hill.
My car has been turning on my check engine light . My vtecseems to be staying on and it jerks my car back and kicks the light back on. I've been reading online and i'm not the only one with this problem. A lot of people say its the vtec oil pressure. I change my oil on a regular basis and don't think that this vehicle should be having this problem. It lacks power between 1-3000rpm and its not safe.
Driving to work in somewhat heavy traffic when i approached a slight incline.the engine began racing to redline and the transmission would not engage to move the car forward again.i was very nearly rear ended by the vehicle behind me as the car suddenly slowed down.i put on my hazards and pulled to the shoulder, and suddenly the gear engaged again and i was on my way.while slowing down further on in my drive, the transmission began pulsing and surging as i slowed nearly causing me to lose control.i backed off from the traffic and was almost to work when i approached another hill.this time the engine again raced to redline and i pulled to shoulder and shut the car down.i waited a minute and restarted and the vehicle appeared to be fine again.i drove the half mile to work and immediately setup an appointment to have the transmission looked at.i was able to make it to the dealer by keeping the drive select in 3rd and they have diagnosed the vehicle with a failed 2nd gear leaving me to foot the bill for a remanufactured transmission at over $5000.needless to say, my wife and i as the original owners of this vehicle are very disappointed and hopeful that honda will help to cover part of the repair.i am concerned that my wife and children could have been in the car when it lost power and could have been seriously injured in an accident and the vehicle is only 8 years old with 75k on the odometer.
Brought vehicle in for routine maintenance timing belt replacement. Honda technician notified me that the timing belt tensioner was leaking and could leak onto the belt causing it to slip off of tensioner..he further stated that this type of leak goes un-noticed until timing belt is replaced. Loss of power can occur if timing belt is not secured.
2005 honda accord fire danger.the catalytic converter heat shields fell off while driving and almost caused an accident.the catalytic converter is warranteed 8 years or 80,000 miles.i took the auto to a honda dealer. They contacted the honda company customer service representative and she refuses to pay any part of the repair.we also called the honda representative several times without any help from honda.the reason the catalytic converter has heat shields is to prevent fires from heat given off by the catalytic converter.the auto is unsafe without the heat shields which surround and are part of the catalytic converter a major emission control devise.
2005 honda accord. Consumer states when the vehicle is in use for more than 15 minutes, a yellow light comes on and the car shuts off. *tathe consumer stated the vehicle was serviced numerous times.
This is the 2nd time i have had to replace the condenser in my vehicle due to an item being projected from the road up into my condenser due there being no guard to cover it up.the first time it was a piece of tire from a semi, this time it was a rock.i think my 2005 accord is a great car, but this is ridiculously expensive!i have to pick up my car tonight and drop another $800 to get it repaired.something should be done to warn people.
The air conditioning suddenly stopped working. When brought to the service center they informed me a rock had broken the condenser. After researching this problem online i discovered it was relatively common in 2003-present accords, in fact some owners reported this happening multiple times. I also found several individuals that said honda replaced the part at no cost. When i informed my service center (criswell honda of germantown, maryland) of what i had found they told me they would not cover the cost of repair. In fact it is going to cost me over $700 due to the labor required in getting to the part (removing the front bumper). Even once i get the condenser replaced there is no guarantee this will not happen again. The problem is caused by poor design, there is absolutely nothing protecting the condenser from any type of road debris.
I have a 2005 honda accord with fairly low mileage.the a/c stopped working so i brought it to a honda dealer while it was still under warranty.they found that there is a pinhole in the condenser and will not fix the problem because it was due to a road hazard.i feel this is a design flaw.the condenser is located18 inches above the ground and there is not protection for it at all.it is common for a car to hit small pebbles at this location and there should be some sort of protection.i am stuck with a fairly new car and a $700 bill to fix a design flaw!!
2005 accord 2.4 liter a/c stopped working. Was told condenser had a hole caused by a rock. Researched and found that numerous owners of honda products have had the same issue. Honda needs to redesignthe lay out and location of the a/c condenser or provide some sort of warranty and protection if they are not going to pay for the repair or replacement of the required parts. With the current design it is a money maker for honda. Now it is going to cost me hundreds of dollars for the repairs that honda should be paying for due to their poor design.
Our 2005 honda accord severely overheated while driving in extremely congested traffic on a nearly 100 degree day.the dealer, where the car has been serviced continuously since new, verified that there was no fuse for the cooling fan.there is no credible answer for this absence.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalled while driving without prior warning. The vehicle restarted, although the engine and battery indicator lights illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle home without stalling, however,the vehicle would not restart the next morning. The vehicle was towed to the local dealership for inspection. The dealer could not duplicate the problem.
I purchased my 2005 honda accord in february.it started missing out a few days later.when it shifts from 1st to 2nd gear it feels like i am running over washboards.this happens a few times.i have taken my car to the dealership where i purchased my vehicle, four times and they can not diagnose the problem.a few of the excuses that they have given me are my abs are not working correctly, i have a heated garage which is causing condensation- (i do not have a heated garage), or i keep buying bad fuel.a service technician felt the miss, but honda dismissed it because they said that she was not a certified technician, and they could not go by her word.they have documented that my car does have a miss, but they can not locate the problem.too say the least my car has been somewhat of a headache, and no one seems to know what the problem is, or even care to help.
2005 honda accord accelerates unexpectedly every time at cold engine start.*mrthe rpm is 1,500 when cold.with foot on brake the rpm drops to 1,000.when the brake is released the car will start to roll for about 2 seconds and then suddenly the rpm jumps back to 1500 and the vehicle accelerates to almost 10 mph.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving 70mph, in normal conditions, the vehicle stalled.it restarted; however, could not acquire a speed faster than 40mph.the vehicle was driven to the dealer for inspection.however, the dealer can not duplicate the problem.
The catalytic converter went out just in time to evade the warranty on the car. My extended warranty wouldn't cover it. It went out at 82,000 miles and it's only covered to 80,000. I did hear that this was premature, but that it happens on the honda accords. The repair is pricey as i bought it in california and they have higher environmental standards (that part is good), so you can't buy an after market converter. The cost was $1,100 after installation. They nearly put the wrong one on in new mexico at the honda dealership. Luckily, i called my old dealership in california as they were out of stock here and they said i had the incorrect part number.
2005 honda accord hybrid check engine light flashes then stays on when heavy acceleration is applied-i.e. When passing another vehicle on two lane road-dealer finds misfire code but cannot fix, grasping at straws, suggested bad fuel or too much acceleration? light is on for third time at 1,600 miles-unacceptable!
The air conditioning on my 2005 honda accord stopped working...took it to a mechanic and he said after trying to recharge the system that the condenser had a puncture on it.upon researching this mishap i find that quite a few other people have had this kind of thing happen to them because the condenser is not protected...it is completely exposed and can be damaged quite easily...honda should provide a retrofit....maybe a screen of some type...and reimburse drivers of their vehicles for the cost of replacing the condenser.....
Honda's failure to disclose that a spare tire is not standard equipment on its 2005 accord hybrid put my and my family's lives in danger.we first learned of the situation when my husband had a flat tire.honda then told us that a retro-fit was available.before parts arrived, i experienced a blow out on an out-of-state high speed thoroughfare at night. Two police cars and a tow truck were required to transport us to the safety of a motel.another 6 weeks passed before honda had the parts to retro-fit the vehicle at my expense.honda assumes no liability for this situation.
Radio reception.we have the accord with the satellite/radio combination with a cd player.the antenna is located in the rear window.the radio reception, in either am or fm is unacceptable.the local honda garage has offered to replace the radio but insists that the problem is in the antenna design.the reception is terrible.stations that are easily heard in other vehicles we own or have owned is simply much better.this is annoying at best.i would not have purchased this vehicle had i known the radio reception was so bad.
Hybrid engine does not operate per manufactors published documents creating very poor city mileage
Honda 2005 accord ex:my power windows will not always function.window will notgo down when switch is pressed.if it is down, it will not come up.neither direction works correctly.this has been happening for almost 5 months.this week the window went down while i was driving but had not pressed the switch.our honda fit 2007 just received a recall notice for this exact issue.is there also a problem with honda accord 2005?
As i was coming to a complete stop, parking, the car sped up involuntarily.i kept pressing on the brakes, but it did not make any difference until the car was stopped by hitting a building.i was told that the dealer inspected the brakes while the car was at the body shop, and did not find anything wrong with them.the car was repaired, and i continued driving it.the involuntary acceleration occurred several times again, but i did not think anything of it because i was not coming to a complete stop, and it adjusted its speed again. Until...i had another accident eight years later due to none other than involuntary acceleration.see a separate complaint.
After getting the honda accord steering hose replaced due to overheating, i begin to hear noises and have steering issues. I took my car to the dealership and was told that i need to replace the rack and pion steering and the power steering pump. I believe that due to the power steering hose was the cause to additional problems to the steering.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 55mph, the air conditioning failed to function.the vehicle was taken to a service dealer where the problem was identified as a hole in the condenser unit of the air conditioner. The manufacturer was notified.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord.while driving approximately 65 mph, all of the warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel.the engine abruptly shut off and the vehicle could not be restarted.the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that thefailure was related to the battery.the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred twice more.the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic again and the alternator was replaced; however, there was no resolution to the malfunction.recently, the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the failure was related to the air condition system component.the vehicle was repaired and there had been no further occurrences.the failure mileage was 34,000 and current mileage was 34,300.

While driving in the middle of a heat wave, the air conditioning in my 2005 honda accord hybrid had stopped blowing cold air. I had only had my car for three months, so i was confused at why my air conditioning had gone out. I took the car to a mechanic who told me that a rock had hit and damaged the ac condenser, causing the freon gas to leak from the condenser. He said that the condenser is located in front of the radiator and because of its location is will always be exposed to debris while driving. The condenser can be seen through the large holes of the vent at the front of the car. The mechanic gave me a $750 estimate for the part and labor. Since the car is a newer model, there are not old parts available. He also informed me that because the car was not designed to protect the condenser, that it is very likely that the part will be damaged again and again. This part is not covered by the warranty and i cannot afford to pay $750 every time this occurs.
Per local honda service department, air conditioner not working on 2005 honda accord because foreign object (road debris -rock) punctured a/c condensor.american honda dspm contacted with request to provide assistance with repalcement cost and request was denied. I was told and have read of instances on the internet when honda did pay for repair under the same circumstances.
All of a sudden one day the gps navigation system stopped working completely. My car's make/model uses the gps navigation panel to manually change internal functions, access the trip computer, enter addresses, et cetera. Without use of the navigation panel, i have severely limited access to most of my car's electronic functions. The navigation gets stuck on the start-up screen (something that looks blue/black with words 'honda'), and never gets to the second warning screen (orange text on black), where one can push 'ok on the touch screen. When the weather is warmer, sometimes i can push this ok button to get into the controls. I usually have 30 seconds until it fails again.the following issues are present: 1) cds; i cannot select a cd to listen to. I can eject/put cds in, but i can only change songs using the controls on my steering wheel. 2) climate control/temperature control: i cannot switch from the a/c to heat. I can only adjust the temperature up/down, recirculate air, or turn on front/rear defrost. For any temperature setting, when i push the 'off' button, i cannot turn the same setting back on with the 'auto' button. If i push the 'auto' button, it recalls some random last temperature settings, usually a very cold a/c setting (which i never programmed or desired). 3) maps; i can't enter any addresses, therefore, the navigation is useless. If it magically works, it turns off shortly after an address is entered. The navi 'lock-up' situation i described here has been present for over a year or so. Weather does affect it. My research concludes that many other honda owners had this issue. Many were told by honda directly that honda didn't know what the issue is, and to contact alpine, the manufacturer of the gps navi. Most customers who did this were told to send their whole cd/dvd reader unit to alpine for repair, which costs several hundred dollars.
I bought my brand new 2005 accord ex in october of 2004.i had the car for no more than a few weeks when the right rear speaker blew out.i took it back to honda and they replaced it with a new speaker.not even a week later, the same speaker blew out again.i took it back to honda and complained.a honda representative came and checked out the car.not only did they deny me the repair, but the women who looked at the car said the speaker was not blown and that it was most likely the cd's that i was playing.meanwhile, i don't really use my cd player and i hear the popping noise from my speaker when i am playing the radio.i filed a complaint with the bbb and hopefully i will get this fixed.i am extremely disappointed with the honda corporation.
The stereo display went completely out. Then the radio started scanning radio stations. It is now stuck on some static sounding weather radio station.off & on works but nothing else (e.g . Volume, mode, load or eject, station tuning...)i have a library cd in the unit and am unable to eject it.
The jacks that honda providefor its 2005 honda is not safe the system is a knuckle busting experierience and the jack will not hold the vehicle. It takes a lot longer to move the damaged tire from the vehicle. Why is it not a law that all car manufacturers are required to use a full size spare and a floor style jack i work in the automotive field and i know how to use a jack.
While driving at night my 2005 honda accord lx both headlights went out.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that the headlights became dim when the cooling fan was on. The contact stated the cooling fan cycles in and out even if the air conditioner was not on. The dealer stated that they were aware of the failure and that the fuse box needed to be replaced. The article shown to the contact stated that the identical failure was related to all 2000 and 2005 vehicles. The repair did not remedy the failure and the dealer stated that was the best that they could do. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 46000 and the current mileage was 47700.
Car was running fine. No problems.all of a sudden the airbag light came on.i stopped the car and checked the seat on the passenger side and seat belts trying to figure out why it was on.i got back into the car and continued home.when slowing to turn into driveway a loud banging noise occurred.the car was put in park and immediately started rolling backwards.this could have been a hazard if a car had been passing by orif this had happened in busy traffic.i could have rolled back and hurt someone, hurt myself or rolled back into oncoming traffic.also if someone had been walking behind the car and gotten ran over and killed.anyway it was later towed to a dealer and diagnostics ran.the dealer informed me that i neededa new transmission.that is not right.my car was like new with a little over 68 thousand miles on it.i still owe on it and purchased it brand new.honda should be responsible for this.since this has happened to me and i have begun to research this i found a ton of recalls for this same problem, yet i am told my car is a 6 cylinder and is not under recall.please help.i was told it would cost me 4400 plus $ to replace the transmission.honda should be responsible for this cost.
Over 6 months ago, i noticed that the light which shows what gear you are in on the shift column on the floorboard wasn't staying lit.sometimes it would come on when i started the car and other times not.sometimes if i thumped on the shifter on purpose, it would come back on.then several weeks ago my radio stopped working.at first there was no sound but then a very loud weird noise started happening and it is extremely loud.the only way to stop the noise is to turn the radio off.then at other times you turn on the radio and it works fine.not long after that i was driving one night and all the lights on the dash flicked off and on again very quickly.it did it several times during my 3 hour trip and then stopped and i hadn't noticed it again until today.today my husband was driving and the check engine light came on and stayed on.i know sometimes if you don't click your fuel cap three times after refueling it can cause the light to come on but i have not refueled in several weeks.a few minutes later the abs light came on, went off and then came on again.shortly after this, all the lights on the dash flashed on and off again several times very quickly.the battery is not that old and this can happen whether it's wet or dry conditions.the user manual said the check engine light is emission related but there are so many other things happening that i wonder if this is some sort of electrical problem.it is scary when it happens because suddenly all the lights on the dash cannot be seen so you can't see the speedometer needle or anything.it's ok if it happens in daylight but is truly unsafe if it happens at night.
The airbag warning light on my 2005 honda accord ex-l was illuminated.i took the vehicle to my honda dealer and they replaced the wiring subharness.this was the same symptom, issue and resolution as nhtsa campaign #06e064000.my vehicle was not in the included in the vin numbers recalled per that campaign and i feel that honda didn't resolve the manufacturing defect by the time my vehicle was produced.in other words, i don't think honda recalled all vehicles affected.
My headlights appear to not illuminate very far in the night on the low beam.additionally as a contributing the outer casing of the headlights are dull and the plastic appears to have deteriorated. While the dealership i saw 3 other hondas with the same clouded outer casings. On the hwy at night i notice nights are noticeably providing less light on the road - and i am not comparing to the new style type lights - just regular lights on other cars shine way further out.the dealership suggested at nearly $100 each i could have a body shop work on them. This appears to be safety hazard from poorly designed materials used for the headlights and it feel honda should remedy this as it is making my headlight not perform as intended or expected. The dealers attitude ( beaverton honda) was not to do anything but they did acknowledge the damage visibility due to this and said it was from being used outside in weather? it's a car not an indoor house cat!
As i was coming to a complete stop, parking, the car sped up involuntarily.i kept pressing on the brakes, but it did not make any difference until the car was stopped by hitting a building.i was told that the dealer inspected the brakes while the car was at the body shop, and did not find anything wrong with them.the car was repaired, and i continued driving it.the involuntary acceleration occurred several times again, but i did not think anything of it because i was not coming to a complete stop, and it adjusted its speed again. Until...i had another accident eight years later due to none other than involuntary acceleration.see a separate complaint.
Front lights get dim inconsistently and cannot see at night.
The cluster lights and the dome light will get dim. The dome light does when you open the doors. The cluster lights will while the head lights are on. The lights on the radio do the same. The radio will make a loud noise and stop playing until you turn off and turn back on.the wiring to back speakers is put in wrong dont work at all. The seat belts will lock when trying to pull them and it dont matter if its in motion or stationary.
My car started having issues with the lights. The indoor and outdoor lights would continually fade out and then return and then fade again. Often i had no lights on my dash or radio. My windows stopped working automatically on the right side. We could not lower the window. The locks stopped working occasionally. All of this is something i had a problem with my other honda as well. It was the same make model and year!! i thought it was just a fluke but when i got this car the same problems started.
This is the second time that this vehicle causes an accident due to involuntary acceleration defect.i was coming to a complete stop to park the car when all of a sudden it accelerated on its own and sped into a building.first it hit an iron bench pushing it into the wall.the car missed hitting a young mother and her four little kids by mere seconds.my insurance company sent one of their own adjusters to inspect the damages, and determined that the car should be repaired. In the meantime the people at the body shop where the car was towed to kept telling me that the car was not safe to be put on the road again.i pleaded with my insurer to have it totaled as i was too afraid to drive it again after two accidents, and my conscience did not allow me to sell the car after the repairs putting somebody else in same kind of danger.i also called honda, but their reply was that honda was not going to do anything about it.honda folks were even annoyed that i called them saying that my insurer was the one to contact them through the proper channels.finally my insurance agreed to total the car.however, i saw that the car was sold to an auction dealer listing it as "salvage title/rebuildable."the car is for sale again stating that it will cost $4,872.00 to fix it.my insurance company increased my premiums considerably considering me the party at fault.i ask nhtsa to act quickly to stop this unsafe and unfair practice.....updated 08/20/15 updated 9/30/2015
The head unit failed making the entire control panel dark. The only way to repair this is to have to purchase an entire audio unit which did not fail. Parts were the front panel for $243.44 and the head unit for 900.65 plus installation costs. As this was a safety issue we had no choice but to replace. The lights should not fail and the cost is excessive requiring replacement of working parts.
A few years ago i noticed the headlights on my car were developing an opaqueness that reduced the amount of light thrown onto the roadway, certain dangerous in the darkness of night and exacerbated when driving on an unlit road.recently i have noticed more and more older cars of various makes and models with the same problem and i wonder if all these manufacturers have bought the same high impact [lexan?] lenses from the same supplier. Yeasrs ago glass headlamps did not suffer this aging process as does these newer plastic/polycarbon replacements. According to a report i read in consumers' report there really is no satisfactory way to restore clarity to these older lights. This problem begs the question "what to do?"should there be a recall or not...this is the auto companies' doing, not mine or any one else's driving a vehicle with reduced light from their headlamps. In case of a low visibilty caused accident whoo will bear the responsibility? isn't this as serious as other safety issues confronting consumers, e.g., gm's ignition switch, various airbag problems, brake pedal issues, et al>? updated 11/24/2014
It crashed into a suddenly stopped car. Nothing changed.
Headlights have top layer coming off the finish. The headlight then turns yellow and the clear lens becomes cloudy. This greatly reduces the amount of light on the road when driving at night. This causes increased danger of a car hitting an animal or pedestrian when driving at night. Aftermarket lens cleaning kits only offer a temporary fix. The only true fix is to replace the headlights, at a cost of almost $1000. The headlights are a safety devise that should last the life of the car, just like a seat belt or air bag. This headlight problem can be found on every car manufacture, not just honda. Cloudy headlights should be replaced at no cost.
Loss of lights on controls for heating, defrost and all other climate controls.over a period of several weeks, i had an intermittent loss of backlight to the climate controls for my car.this presents a hazard during nighttime driving as the dome lights must be switched on and it takes longer to find the appropriate control for defrost for the windshield.this is also related to the backlight on the radio, which was a known problem with honda accords for a very long time.the lights would go out, then come back on again when i went over a bump or turned the headlights on or off (indicating an electrical instead of bulb problem).the loss of function increased gradually in terms of number of outages, length and duration.the car was taken in after two near accidents due to trying to turn on the defroster while driving.despite a known problem with prior year accords in the exact same system, for which honda has issued recalls, i did have to pay for the repair.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 3 mph. The air bag deployed on low impact when she hit a lamp base pole on the driver's side bumper. The contact injured her right forearm which required surgery. The vehicle was not taken to an dealer or an independent mechanic to be repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000...updated 04-10-14 updated 06/30/2017
Exterior lights (headlights) had to be replaced twice. As i your recall listing honda accord had recall on 1/30/2007 and we were not notified of this action.1. 11/24/2007--driver side...$13.002.01/12/2007---replaced at n/c.we are wondering why we did not get a recall notification?also hazard indicatorhas failed or does not stay lit as designed.repaired once.
My car suddenly accelerated upon exiting a car wash as i changed from neutral to drive.the design of the exit lane from the car wash driveway and access to the four lane street where the car wash is located does not allow for any speed as there are two sharp turns . My car sped across the driveway, into a culvert and toward the heavy traffic.i applied the brakes immediately and steered the car away from the street, crossing several business parking lots and landscaped areas.my 2005 honda accord received several thousands dollars in damage.honda denied it was warranty and did not show me the computer diagnostic evaluation.in fact, this information seemed to be closely guarded by the service department at honda orr in hot springs, ar.i was told to contact my insurance company for repairs.this car experienced what i would explain as an open throttle which may be a new problem for computerized cars.i have taken several photos of my car and the scene, which shows several feet of skid marks.

The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated thefuel gauge reading dropped to empty, and the vehicle stalled. There were no warning lights illuminating on the instrument panel. The failure recurred on three occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The manufacturer was notified and theyinformed that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 05v132000 (electrical system:fuses and circuit breakers).

Consumer complaint concerning the gas mileage.the consumer was told that the vehicle had to be broken in before the gas mileage would increased. The consumer's vehicle currently receives from 24.8 city/highway to 25.4.
Hondarefused to honor recall #07v097000based on their own service bulletin #07-020 which includedthis vehicle'svinfor the 4-door v6 vin series as listed.inever received any recall notice from honda in regard to thisproblem.
Early last yearthe car would not start.according to dealer the relay switch was bad and needed to be replaced.in march 2007 honda issued a recall relating to a defect with the relay, causing the fuel pump to lose power, become inoperative ,and possibly leaving the vehicle inoperable.according to honda's march 13, 2007 letter to mr. Daniel smith at nhtsa thevehicle fellinto the vin numbers which were subject to the recall asthisvehicle's vinwas,and the vin range given by honda was [xxx] - [xxx]. Curiously, this vehicle did not fall into the alleged dates of manufacturing listed by honda.more specifically, it appearedthis vehicle was manufactured in january 2005, while the vehicles with the affected vin range were allegedly onlymanufactured between april 13, 2005 - june 15, 2005.i contacted honda with this information ,and was advised thatthis vehicle was not part of the recall, yet my relay had failed a year earlier. I am concerned that the vin numbers listed by honda to be affected by the recall did not match up with the alleged dates of manufacturinglisted by honda, thereby calling into question the true number of vehicles that contained this serious, safety related defect which warranted a recall. I would like someone from nhtsa to contact me on thisproblem.updated 07/10/2012 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Severely malfunctioning pollution control system or engine failure that emits burning oil and toxic smoke. This vehicle wa plate awj1933 was emitting burning oil and nitrous oxide components that were visible to the human eye. This vehicle was at the intersection of 112th ave/gher rd and sr500. It was idling and polluting cancerous clouds. It seems there is no online reporting form for vehicle air pollution in wa state, but there is one in oregon.
My alternator is covered in alternator fluid including my serpentine belt all the way to my power steering reservoir . Also i've been noticing a loss of power in my vehicle , when i pump gas i try to fill it up and it wont fill up all the way to full it stays 1/4 less of full .

On 12/23/2016 had trouble with car hesitating, stalling then not starting, was in my driveway. Car towed to honda dealer in burlington, ma. They replaced starter motor for $574.60 and on 12/29/2016 after i picked up the car, was driving in the fast lane on the highway and could not accelerate. Was able to get out of traffic and pull over. Eventually made it to a parking lot where car bucked, stalled and would not start. Towed back to honda in burlington. They "cleaned out debris in maf sensor" and said "one of the cables on the throttle body is broken and may cause the same problem" suggested $819.00 repair. Car ran ok until 9/19/2017 when again could not accelerate on highway. Was travelling in the fast lane but managed to cross four lanes of traffic with no power. This was extremely dangerous and could have caused a serious highway crash for the second time.did some research and found an april, 2007 recall related to the fuel pump relay in certain 2005 honda accords. I searched the nhtsa for my vin and found there are 0 recalls associated with my car. However, my car did, in fact, have a defective mitsuba relay.this is a very dangerous situation and i am extremely lucky. Something is wrong that my vin was not included in the recall.
My car stalls and lost power when i was driving on freeway at high speed and when i accelerate, car is almost lost power and i have to slow down.
Engine stalled multiple times while driving (at various speeds) and almost caused crash.vehicle sometimes will not start, idles erratically while running or while driving, or stalls without warning while driving.apparently there is a recall for this issue on other 2005 honda accords however when i look up my vehicle's vin, there is no recall.i called honda and they too said there is no coverage for this repair as my vehicle is not included in the recall.
May 4, 2015, 2005 honda accord v6 stalled and all systems non-functional while driving.accord rear-ended a car at rest at a stop sign.in november 2011, the transmission gave out on freeway.vehicle stayed on and i was able to quickly coast off the freeway, but drive train was out and needed to be replaced (105k miles).this transmission failure seems to be consistent with other nhtsa reports.in april, 2011 the accord began stalling and all systems failed while the car was in drive and moving.in may, 2012 the dch honda of temecula found faulty throttle sensor and replaced the part.the vehicle has not experienced this problem again until this failure and accident.i see several reports of accords stalling on this site.is this a known problem? my daughter was fortunate this didn't happen when approaching oncoming traffic or the freeway.this seems like a serious safety issue.
2005 honda accord:interior lights (roof, radio;click, auto transmission backlighting) do not work intermittently.more often than not, the lights are all out.
The audio unit display lights go dim1-2 minutes after the headlights are turned on. The radio dialsand hvac control switches also go completely out. The only light on in the area is the small green light showing which hvac button has been selected. The instrument panel lights do light up andare controllable with the dimmer switch.i have checked the fuses; none were blown. I can cope with the problemby turning onthe interior overhead light to see the controls.just very inconvenientand creating a unsafe condition.this is a problem with earlier model years (2003-2004) of this model run. In 2007 honda issued a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty extension letter for these years. There is also a service bulletin for these repairs. Perhaps honda should havne extended this warranty extension to include the 2005 models.
Dt:just purchased 2005 honda. The illumination of the panel of the heating and cooling control panels are not bright enough.it is very poorly lighted.
Could not lock drivers door with remote key lock, other doors locked.could only unlock or lock drivers door with non remote key.replaced actuator and cable.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While the vehicle was parked the contact noticed the chrome around the rear passengers side door handle was broken. A passenger was in the rear of the vehicle and sustained a deep cut to her right hand and was taken to the hospital where x-rays were taken and the doctor placed stitches in the child's wound. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
Door lock remote fails to open locks.if i'm inside the car, sometimes the driver's door lock will be jammed down, and key will not open from outside.nothing worked, i had to crawl over the console and exit by the passenger door.definitely a safety issue, since it could happen in an emergency.
The inside door handle of my honda accord coupe 2005 stopped working all of a sudden. A passenger riding with me discovered that they could not exit the car because the inside door handle failed to open the door. This was a one time occurrence and the door handle never worked again after that point. The problem was the cable from the interior door handle to the exterior door handle has a defective plastic insert where it attaches to the door panel. Failure of this piece results in the passengers of the vehicle not being able to open the door from the inside. This creates a potential safety hazard in the event of an accident or roll-over. The cable holding the plastic insert had to be ordered and replaced after taking off the door panel.
1. Passenger drive door while locked could be opened manually by hand. Dealer replaced lock actuator and lock.
Rear door locks do not work when using driver door lock switch control. Rear door lock on driver side does not open from inside even when door lock switch is in up position. Can onlybe opened from the outside.
Door will not unlock on front passenger side. This is not a child safety lock issue. Seems like a common problem after a review of the internet. In a crash or fire passenger would have to crawl to the other side of the car or through a window to get out. Responders would have no way to open the door from the outside.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord.the contact stated that the trunk lock on his vehicle was defective.he had to slam the trunk at least three to four times before it locked.the last time he slammed the trunk the rear glass shattered.he took the vehicle to the dealer for repair and they repaired the window and the trunk.currently, three weeks later, the latch is not working again.there are no recalls regarding this failure.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 54,000.
The door actuators are not working, its the 2 left side only work on cold days. Now, don't use the back doors and mostly use the drivers side.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that when the driver exited the parked vehicle, it locked itself independently. The vehicle was unlocked at the service of a locksmith however, the front driver's side door did not unlock. The contact called the fisher honda acura dealer(303-245-6416, located at 6025 arapahoe rd, boulder, co 80303) and was advised to tow the vehicle to the auto center.the vehicle was instead taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the only remedy was to break the front driver's door panel. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.
Initially when putting car in reverse it would not engage going into a forward gear once stopped.then upon entering highway the engine just revved and car lost speed almost causing me to be rear-ended at high speed because car would not drive.end result was torque converter was faulty and caused transmission to burn fluid and gears to shred.car was towed to hawley's auto repair on shaker road east longmeadow, ma on 12/20 where it was rendered fully un-drivable as transmission completely failed.honda was contacted but stated they would not cover the repair even though it is a known frequent failure.
Honda accord 2005 v6under 25,000 miles suddenly started having problems with the automatic transmissionwhich finally failed on may 2011 while driving on the highway. A complete automatic transmission overhaul and torque converter change were performed at a honda dealer at a cost of over $2600. New transmission felt great during the first 3 months (even though it torque converter started leaking oil and i had to take it to the dealer for repair) but recently i have notice abrupt delays (slow down) while shifting gears, like its is pulling you back and strange kicks while shifting. Car accelerates slower as well and does not react as quickly or smoothly as new. I took the car to the same honda dealer and they say nothing is wrong with the transmission.
Transmission failure on 2005 honda accord with 75k.it went out all of a sudden, almost causing an accident.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home where an independent mechanic inspected the vehicle. The mechanic stated that transmission fluid was burning causing the rubber to expand and the vehicle to slip between gears. In addition, the mechanic stated that the gear system would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.
Automatic transmission v6 accord. Cruising at highway speed of 65,moderate traffic, around 4:35p, level ground, ambient temp of about 71, approx 2000 revs. Transmission suddenly shifted down (no kick down), engine raced at 6500 revs, caused car to rapidly decelerate. Luckily there was a gap in traffic behind me, otherwise could have shunted. Took foot off gas, looking for gap to pull over to the shoulder when car suddenly shifted back into a gear normal for speed - revs dropped to about 2500 to 3000, speed around 45. Gently pressed gas and increased speed back up to normal highway speed. A whine is coming the engine bay - more noticeable at lower speeds. Transmission subsequently not shifting smoothly.

The approximate failure and current mileage was 55,500. Updated 06/10/14 mathe consumer stated she paid for a re-built transmission and torque converter.updated 07/23/14
Honda automatic transmission failed in 2015; contacted honda corp no recalls although there is a recall r89 for exact problem but was told my car is not a part of recall. Had transmission repaired and one year later after driving 10,000 local miles transmission having exact same problem. Contacted honda and they state due to age year and warranty factors they could not assist. Car has been serviced and diagnosed by several honda's dealers. Took car for oil change on 5/18; on 5/21 while driving the car after 2-3 minutes it would start to be sluggish and not respond to someone pushing the gas pedal. This was while driving in a 35 mile per hour area two lane street. At that point i pulled over to the side of a city street allowed the car to cool down and took back to dealer.dealer suggested faulty transmission with broken internal shift parts.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While driving approximately 35 mph, the transmission began to slip gears with hesitation. The failure recurred whenever the vehicle was in operation. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis and was repaired under a recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 11v395000 (power train: automatic transmission: control module; tcm, pcm); however the remedy was insufficient and the failure recurred. The vehicle had not been further repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 99,000.
Car shutters between 35mph and 40mph and has lost transmission fluid. Its problems are exactly like those in a prior class action suit against honda. They haven't fixed the problem.a recall was received for a software update for the transmission, i think they are just trying to see how many they have out there doing what they have already been sued for. After the software update nothing changed.
I have recently began to experience issues with my honda where it suddenly stalls while moving. I have also noticed some clicking noises and surges as if the transmission is having issues. I see that there was a recall in 2011 for honda to replace the tcm (transmission control module); however, my vehicle was not part of this recall and i believe i am now experience the very problems that the recall fix was to resolve.i am seeing the very complaint on your site from others who also have honda accords for the same year others. My vehicle has been regularly serviced and there have never been any indication of transmission issues.
Transmission failed at highway speed resulting in immediate vehicle deceleration and near accident.honda refused to fully cover the cost of the failed transmission despite numerous other reports of failed v6/at failures in the 2005 model year, and previous model year recalls.significant safety concern in this model year and transmission combination.
At only 93,000 miles, my transmission is shot.just one year after my extended warranty runs out based on time, not mileage.honda's reputation of reliability makes people not even expect to buy a warranty.their reputation is a lie.any american car would have a 100,000 mile warranty the transmission.i will definitely never buy a honda again.the financial burden of replacing a transmission so early on is not easy and this car should be recalled for it's common defect, as i am learning online.
Saturday afternoon 9/13/08, my wife experienced an unusual uncontrollably high rpm rapid vehicle acceleration when shifting from park to drive. Vehicle involved was a 2005, honda accord. Fortunately this event occurred in a private wild life parking area and not in an area congested with people where serious injuries/death could have occurred.sequence of events: 1. Initially vehicle could not be shifted from park to drive. Engine was shut off and restarted 3 or 4 times and she was then able to shift into reverse and back out of parking spot.2. With foot on the brake she shifted from reverse to drive and then started forward. 3. At that time the engine started a rapid uncontrollably rpm increase and vehicle acceleration. 4. After moving forward and turning right to avoidhitting a tree head on the vehicle struck and jumped over a landscape railroad cross tie. The total distance traveled from the point of shifting into drive and jumping over the cross tie was approximately 30 feet.5. At this time she believes the uncontrolled high rpm & vehicle acceleration stopped.6. Vehicle continued forward for 15 +/- feet and struck and damaged a heavy metal guard gate. 7. Vehicle front end and underneath damage has not been assessed at this time. 8. Cause of vehicle malfunction is also unknown.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated the vehicle was taken to the dealer to have repairs under nhtsa campaign id number: 11v395000(power train: automatic transmission) performed, but the transmission continued to slip and jerk while changing gears. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 149,467.
Transmission fluid may be leaking,engine (or transmission) stutters after go maybe a block.
Driving to work in somewhat heavy traffic when i approached a slight incline.the engine began racing to redline and the transmission would not engage to move the car forward again.i was very nearly rear ended by the vehicle behind me as the car suddenly slowed down.i put on my hazards and pulled to the shoulder, and suddenly the gear engaged again and i was on my way.while slowing down further on in my drive, the transmission began pulsing and surging as i slowed nearly causing me to lose control.i backed off from the traffic and was almost to work when i approached another hill.this time the engine again raced to redline and i pulled to shoulder and shut the car down.i waited a minute and restarted and the vehicle appeared to be fine again.i drove the half mile to work and immediately setup an appointment to have the transmission looked at.i was able to make it to the dealer by keeping the drive select in 3rd and they have diagnosed the vehicle with a failed 2nd gear leaving me to foot the bill for a remanufactured transmission at over $5000.needless to say, my wife and i as the original owners of this vehicle are very disappointed and hopeful that honda will help to cover part of the repair.i am concerned that my wife and children could have been in the car when it lost power and could have been seriously injured in an accident and the vehicle is only 8 years old with 75k on the odometer.
My car stalls and lost power when i was driving on freeway at high speed and when i accelerate, car is almost lost power and i have to slow down.
The transmission failed at approximately 70,000 miles while driving up a hill.the engine began revving, and the vehicle lost all acceleration.shortly thereafter, i applied the brakes, put on the hazard lights, put the car in park, and turned the car off.i then restarted the car, shifted into drive, and attempted to accelerate, but the vehicle began rolling backwards toward traffic lined up behind me.i then reapplied the brake, put the car in park, and again shut the car off.due to construction in the area, there was no where to pull the car over to, so i was stranded blocking traffic.
At first, when putting the car into gear, there would be a delay before the vehicle actually accepted that gear--anywhere from 6-10 seconds, along with a grinding noise when i would go from drive to park.i immeduately called my dealer and took it over there and explained to them what had been happening.given the mileage of my car, the manager of the service dept took the car out for a drive on the highway (with me), and tried to see if the gears were in fact slipping and i would need tranny work.after the test drive, it was decided that they would drain all the transmission fluid and replace it with new.this worked well for about 2 weeks, and then we had a big cold snap here in colorado.after that, it all went south.my car would no longer shift into 2nd or 3rd without a lot of noise.called the dealer, and by the time we got it there, the car was barely moving at 40mph on a major highway.when i purchased this car three years ago, the odometer read 42,000 miles.today it reads 67,000.really?i have transmission failure at 67,000??????thank goodness i have a highly competent service manager at the dealership who went to bat for me and called honda directly.i received a "goodwill" repair, but am still forking over $1568 for a new transmission.obviously, honda has not fixed their transmission problems.i believe another recall needs to be issued sooner, rather than later.
Driving on highway 101 in california the powertrain (automatic transmission) on our 6 cylinder honda failed at highway speeds. When we got to an exit, the car could not power up an exit ramp. The car even rolled backwards even when the transmission was put in park. Prior to this problem we had no advance warning or inkling of any transmission difficulties.during this incident the warning light on the dash did not turn on.once we got to a repair facility we were told that the transmission had failed completely and the cost of a remanufactured unit would be about $4,400. After this incident we read up on honda's and discovered that such complete, no-warning failures are rather common in these honda accords. Our extended warranty ran out six months ago.given the high number of these problems and the high cost involved, we believe that honda should repair or replace these units as losing power in a car on an interstate highway is very dangerous.
I have a honda accord v6 2005 model car and maintenance done as per manuals. I am now getting jerks while accelerating or after starting and putting car in reverse gear.the check engine light turned on now. I did a code scan and getting code p0741. This is an issue with transmission power. I did some google and found that honda had this manufacturing defect in this model and lot of car were recalled for this reason. I found nhtsa campaign id number : 11v395000 addressing similar problem and as of 23rd september 2014, 1.5 million (1512107) vehicles has been recalled for similar issue.the honda recall number is r89 and the recall was placed on august 27th 2011, for honda accords 2005-2010 for the transmission. This issue is transmission power is not working as expected and it jerks while changing gear or speed. This is dangerous from driving safety point of view. I need help by the nhtsa as i strongly feel that my case is genuine and with reference to nhtsa campaign id number : 11v395000, my vehicle should be considered for this recall by american honda. On that note, i do hope to receive a resolution response , in a timely manner, from your executive team or someone else that is in a position to do the right thing.

My wife and i and 5 year old daughter was driving on ih35 on the left lane at 70mph when the transmission suddenly failed. My wife was driving and said she was loosing power and had presence of mind to pulled over to the right side. All the cars were going really fast.thank god we were able to pull over and did not get hit from behind. After stopping the car would not engage to drive and revved up only so had it towed to a honda facility. There we were told it was total transmission failure. They charged me 4500 dollars.i did not have a choice as we were travelling and 250 miles away from home and did not have a choice as the other places we called said they could not even take a look for a few days till monday as it was a friday afternoon.i did do my research and called a few transmission places and was told it was a 2500 dollar job. Double insult transmission fails at 95k and charged 2000 more. Last time i buy a honda.
This incident is concerning my 2005 honda accord ex v6, vin(given above) . I am the first owner and car has 85000 miles on it. On 21st september 2014 automatic transmission failed without any warning while i was driving on freeway today.check engine light never turned on .the car just stopped on a crowded interstate, which was very frightening. This vehicle has been properly maintained and i've never missed an oil change, timing belt, etc. I've never had any major problems with this car, no leaks, no engine issues and this leads me to believe there is some sort of defect with this automobile which needs to be recalled. My situation with the transmission is obviously not an isolated incident and honda needs to step-up to the plate. The mechanic said that he has seen this same problem time and time again with honda's especially with 2005 accord v6 transmission failures. On further research on nhtsa website, i found nhtsa campaign id number : 11v395000 addressing similar problem and as of 23rd september 2014,1.5 million (1512107) vehicles has been recalled for similar issue.the honda recall number is r89and the recall was placed on august 27th 2011, for honda accords 2005-2010 for the transmission. I took my car to, grossinger honda, my local honda dealer. The diagnosis was that the transmission had completely failed although fluid levels were normal. Dtc codeswere p0741, p0746, and p0777.honda opened a case and gave me a case no:n012014-09-22-02450.more than 1.5 million vehicles are affected from this recall and they tell me my car isn't one? i strongly feel that my case is genuine and with reference to nhtsa campaign id number : 11v395000, my vehicle should be considered for this recall by american honda .
The transmission is slipping between 1st and 2nd gear as well as 3rd and 4th gear.we took it into a shop and was told the transmission needs to be rebuilt.this car was purchased brand new and has around 80,000 miles.the guy at the transmission shop stated this was a known issue with honda but they were not willing to fix it.he stated the plastic caps on the torque converter were breaking and should have never been used at all.

Drove the car to work slowed down behind another car to let them turn and the car stalled like as if the car was in neutral, i pulled over because it never happened before turned the car off and then restarted the engine and drove about 10 more minutes to work. Later on that day after my shift was over took it to a mechanic who scanned for a code which read p0741 in his words meant transmission issues.
While driving, part of the bearing became lodged in the park prawl (the metal piece that engages park), causing the car to roll away after it's shifted into park.
Put car on parked car kept moving on parking stall . Also when turning car on push breaks and put on drive jumps hard and when pushing on breaks does not break on time have to push breaks to the floor

I was driving down through someones yard and its like my vehicle made a grinding sound and a malfunction light illuminated an exclamation point in a triangle. I almost got stuck and i was horrified at the sound. Later on i started noticing it was harder to control thw vehicle at higher speeds on the road. Especially after it rained i would leave my yard and would almost be trapped in my yard. Very eerie grinding sound with 3 malfunction lights on: abs, traction control, and brake lamp illuminated.
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.

Brought vehicle in for routine maintenance timing belt replacement. Honda technician notified me that the timing belt tensioner was leaking and could leak onto the belt causing it to slip off of tensioner..he further stated that this type of leak goes un-noticed until timing belt is replaced. Loss of power can occur if timing belt is not secured.
Car was running fine. No problems.all of a sudden the airbag light came on.i stopped the car and checked the seat on the passenger side and seat belts trying to figure out why it was on.i got back into the car and continued home.when slowing to turn into driveway a loud banging noise occurred.the car was put in park and immediately started rolling backwards.this could have been a hazard if a car had been passing by orif this had happened in busy traffic.i could have rolled back and hurt someone, hurt myself or rolled back into oncoming traffic.also if someone had been walking behind the car and gotten ran over and killed.anyway it was later towed to a dealer and diagnostics ran.the dealer informed me that i neededa new transmission.that is not right.my car was like new with a little over 68 thousand miles on it.i still owe on it and purchased it brand new.honda should be responsible for this.since this has happened to me and i have begun to research this i found a ton of recalls for this same problem, yet i am told my car is a 6 cylinder and is not under recall.please help.i was told it would cost me 4400 plus $ to replace the transmission.honda should be responsible for this cost.
Transmission failure!! i knew these early 2000s to 2005s had transmission issues in the accords and civics, but i had a 2005 earlier and when someone hit me it had over 168.000 miles on it. (it was a california car with extra smog components) no transmissions issues!! i replaced it with another 2005 accord 4cyl at 79.441 miles in feb of 2018. The car had been very well maintained by a honda dealership in ga. Nothing was missed.i also had transmission serviced and a lot of other things done by a certified honda mechanic before i even put the plate on it back in nc. On 6/12/19( 93500 on car) i was in a rollover wreck in my 2002 tundra.(great truck) and really needed my car. On 6/14/19 i go to see my tundra in the junk yard and my car juststartsrevving up but stops moving. I pulled over and stopped then tried to put car back into gear and was able to getit into 2nd gear and limp to a friends house. I was heartbroken!! to lose both in 2 days was insane!i took it to friendlys transmission in high point nc and they put in a rebuilt transmission very quickly!!!!i hope this one holds because it is a beautiful little car with a great engine and i would like to drive it a long time. I thought about trying to deal with honda but i was in pain and needed my car...it is shameful that a low mileage car that has been well taken care of should need a new transmission so soon!!!it would be wonderful if 11v395000, recall r89, 8/27 2011 would somehow apply to my car!!!
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord ex. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted and driven to a local mechanic.

As accelerating the vehicle a hard jerk happens while shifting gears from 1 to 2nd gear. The rpms go extremely high even if you accelerate the car gently and once you let go the car takes a couple of seconds to drop the rpms and you feel the jerk and then the thump. If i need to brake suddenly the car makes like a thump sound and the transmission feels and sound abnormal. This only occurs when you first accelerate the car and you're going from first to second gear. It doesn't happen on any other gears. Ihaven't felt this in any other car. This incident with the gear change happens always with the car, in the mornings, at an signal intersection, and/or leaving any place. It also occurs recurrently.
Automatic transmission failures at 87,900 miles.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.
I was driving home from work in stop-and-go traffic. When i went to accelerate i noticed that the vehicle jerked, as if it had a problem shifting. I didn't think much of it at the time until it did it again after i came to another stop and accelerated once traffic started moving again. This time i pulled over to the side of the road. I then noticed the malfunction indicator lamp ("check engine light") came on the dash. The traction control (tcs) indicator also came on. I turned the car off, waited a few seconds, then started it again, hoping that would clear any faults. The indicators were still lit and when i went to put the vehicle in drive the drive "d" indicator was flashing green (it's normally solid green). I drove it a short distance to a nearby parking lot where i called a tow truck to come tow the vehicle to my local honda dealership. Upon driving it to the parking lot i noticed that it wouldn't shift out of first gear. Top speed i got was about 40 mph. Also the engine was revving slightly. I then knew that the problem was more serious and i feared for the worse. While waiting for the tow truck i checked the error codes that was causing the check engine light to come on. It came back with three codes having to do with the shift solenoid valve a and clutch pressure control solenoid valve a being stuck on. The dealer called me back the next day and explained that they replaced the shift and clutch pressure control solenoids, were going to give it a test drive to see if that corrected the fault, and would call me back afterwards. The next call i received was devastating. I was told that it didn't fix the issue and that i would need a new transmission! i was completely shocked. The car just hit the 50,000 mile mark! i have babied this car since i first bought it new. I don't drive it rough and i follow the maintenance schedule to a t. How could this possibly be?

Driving down the street when the malfunction indicator light went on. Within 5 seconds the engine stalled. Was able to pull to side of road and stop the vehicle. Turned off the ignition and was able to start the vehicle.this matches the scenario as outlined in recall #59558. Contacted local dealer and honda america and was advised that my vehicle is not part of the recall.
Driving on the freeway and entered caldecott tunnel in berkeley, ca.all of a sudden the car would not go and the rpms shot up to 6500.i had nowhere to go as i was in a 2 lane tunnel.i put my flashers on and slowed to a stop.this freeway has a very high volume of traffic and i was lucky not to get creamed by someone.there was no warning light that came on.there was a burning smell.i was "pulled" out of the tunnel by a very nice man who stopped to help me.had the car towed to my mechanic who tells me that the transmission is done.this is a 2005 honda accord v6 and after researching, i see that there are numerous complaints about the transmission.i plan on calling honda to see what they plan to do.i could have been seriously injured.
Takata recall -i am the owner of a beautiful 2005 honda accord ex.i am the original and only owner of my car. My car has this issue where it is burning excessive oil and engine siezes. (i mean really bad). I would get an oil change today and car would be out of oil within 2weeks...i've spent over 3000k dollars on trying to figure what the problem was and no mechanic could figure it out. I finally went to a special mechanic who finally did some research and figured out that this was a known issue by honda and have not yet done a recall for the issue. Apparently based on articles from the honda/braman and takata sites (www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord that after 80k miles the engine burns excessive oil in the engine. My car takes "full synthetic" so its gotten to be really expensive to own this car. To mention,the car has no leaks, all parts are in working order. I called and filed a complaint with the website since january 2017 and have not heard anything back. I would like to get this issue fixed and put my car back to normal. This issue is affecting other areas of the car like the radio, the back lights. I have to check and put oil in the car every couple days so that my engine doesnt seize.

Owner:i hit a dip with this accord 3.0 with vtec engine was driving down street when car made funny noise and the steering got hard to turn. Pulled over and found power steering was leaking. Drove it to shop ordered hose then dropped hose with fluid at repair shop. Technician: power steering hose broke hard and old leaking fluid everywhere causing cerpintine belt come off. The hardened power steering hose broke due to fact that breaking of 2 passenger side motor mount to bracket bolts in bracket causing engine to raise during acceleration and pulling on hoses. Car drove in ok. After replacing bracket and hose noticed water leaking from behind timing belt and removed top cover. Found water pump leaking weep hole and found idler pulley and bolt came loose and fell off.(idler pulley has a special bolt with washer end that if dont wiggle the pully while tightening can tighten pulley tweaked and not complete also use loctite) also found the harmonic balancer bolt to be over torqued making it near impossible to remove without special octagon holding tool. Of course customer doesn't understand how so many things are wrong when all he saw was broken power steering hose.(which when fluid leaks can also catch car on fire) now we suggested replacement of water pump and timing kit but customer wants vehicle immediately and feels we created these other problems on purpose which left me no choice but to do labor for free just to prove im not! the lift of engine and fluid leak caused several bushings to come apart. He must have hit dip hard.
Manufacturer: honda (american honda motor co.)summary:initially,while waiting on a red light, while the car was going into a forward gear, the car surged forward. Then tried to apply breaks but car seemed to want to move forward. Applied brakes and moved gear to neutral. There was a loud noise coming from underneath the car. Once stopped, put car on park and turned off engine. Before turning car off the engine just revved and surged forward causing me to almost rear end the car in front. End result was the transmission would not shift on any gear (drive, reverse, low gear).the car was rendered fully un-drivable as it seems the transmission has completely failed. Honda was contacted and informed. They stated there were no recalls for honda accord 2005 (the nhtsa website indicates campaign 11v395000) recalls but honda stated they would not cover the repair even though it is a known frequent failure. How should i pursue this issue going forward?ps. The car was tolled back to my driveway and its still sitting there.
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.
On april 2 2005 i bought a honda accord. Recently i tookmy car to the ourisman honda dealership for a routine maintenance. The previous day i heard a noise coming from the engine. I explained to the noise to the technician. He checked and found the car had a problem with the transmission. He told me that they were going to try to talk to american honda to help me out with the cost because it is very expensive. It has been three weeks now with no response. I would like a solution to this as soon as possible. Any help from you would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your time. -martin quiej

I was driving on interstate in my 2005 honda accord ex , driving 68 miles an hour and suddenly the car completed wigged out, the rpm's revved up in the red and the car would not maintain speed. It was sudden and super dangerous considering the circumstance. I called honda care and arranged to be brought to honda, they informed me i needed a whole new transmission. That it was internal. Thank god i service and may god be with honda owners to protect them from this internal issue.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord hybrid.the contact stated that her vehicle accelerated when she depressed the brake pedal.she heard an unfamiliar sound coming from the vehicle.initially, the failure occurred intermittently over the past three years, but has recently become worse.the faster she drives, the louder the failure becomes.when the brake pedal is depressed, the failure ceases, and when she releases the pedal, it starts again.the dealer stated that the failure may possibly be caused by a noise box.they further informed her that there were no other failures with the vehicle.the mileages were unknown.
When the vehicle is started with a cold engine the car will surge in gear, accelerating the car unexpectedly.the frequency of the problem is intermittent.the car will surge with enough force that the amount of pressure one ordinarily exerts on the brake pedal to hold a car stationary is insufficient.
With little warning, transmission failed in car. Driver merged into traffic, car sputtered at 25mph, when it should have been 45mph. A tracto trailer slammed on its brakes and wound up gently tapping the rear bumper.this could have been much worse. Honda recommends new transmission.
2005 honda accord v6 ex sedan. While entering the freeway the car fell out of gear and then i had to quickly pull off (nearly getting hit by merging cars) and call the highway patrol to block oncoming traffic from hitting me as i did not have enough momentum to get out of the far right lane completely. Towed car to honda dealership which resulted in them telling me i had a failed transmission. A failed transmission with 52,300 miles on the car. Transmission and oil change was just done so why this failed leaves me shaking my head.
Because of the great reputation of honda vehicles, i and my husband decided to buy a honda accord ex car 2005 two years ago. We have never had any problems with it until last tuesday, when i was driving back to home when theengine stalled suddenly, after about two minutes i turn it on and it seemed fine while i was driving for less than a mile to get home. Two hours later on i and my husband were getting off he took the keys to drive the car and i did not tell him about the incident i simply totally forgot because i did think it was a problem and i did not expect to be a problem, so we got off we got in the car he tried start the car and it jerked hard and it wont start he tried again and we drove itbut the car was cranking and it jerked hard and slowed down and it stopped and it did the same thing he was decreasing the speed. Our car is 74,000 miles we took it to a mechanic at honda dealership and he said the transmission is failing a way he never seen before he checked and there are no recalls for that problem so to we need to get a new transmission and replacethe axles as well which is going to cost us around 4000 dollars i don't think this is fair i believe in my hearth it's a manufacture problem and it should bea recalli did a lot researches and a lot of people they have the same problem. Please do your investigation we can not afford to fix the car we did not do anything wrong to this car but driving it to work and keep it maintenance till it start to act up we are leasing a car now to go to workto product please help us.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord.while driving 65 mph, the acceleration dropped to 25 mph and would not shift into third gear.when the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not exceed 25 mph, and then began making a grinding noise.the vehicle was towed to a mechanic and he replaced a solenoid, but it failed three times.the vehicle was finally repaired and the wire to the solenoid was replaced.the repair cost $856.the current mileage was 52,850 and failure mileage was 52,750.
My car suddenly accelerated upon exiting a car wash as i changed from neutral to drive.the design of the exit lane from the car wash driveway and access to the four lane street where the car wash is located does not allow for any speed as there are two sharp turns . My car sped across the driveway, into a culvert and toward the heavy traffic.i applied the brakes immediately and steered the car away from the street, crossing several business parking lots and landscaped areas.my 2005 honda accord received several thousands dollars in damage.honda denied it was warranty and did not show me the computer diagnostic evaluation.in fact, this information seemed to be closely guarded by the service department at honda orr in hot springs, ar.i was told to contact my insurance company for repairs.this car experienced what i would explain as an open throttle which may be a new problem for computerized cars.i have taken several photos of my car and the scene, which shows several feet of skid marks.
I drive a 2005 honda accord, we noticed that the transmission fluid was low so we added honda transmission fluid. That's when the cars rpms shot up and i wasn't hardly moving. Honda said do a 9 quartflush, which we did. For a day or two things seemed better, then it was far worse than before with the rpms at 6,000 and i'm only going 30. Hoping it was a problem with a censor, we took it to honda, they tell me don't worry it'll be fine. Hour later they call and say your transmission is shot. Now they tell me i can trade it in, or get a new one for $3800. I say i'm taking it elsewhere, to another trans shop, who asks me which honda i called about he's had 3 calls that morning and has 2 waiting to be fixed. He says honda trans are poorly designed in that first the filter is hard to get to and that there is a very small hole for fluid to get through and that once clogged with no fluid the trans fails. Now he's rebuilding it and our supposed trusty honda is going to cost us $2400 of which we do not just have sitting around. I hope that there will be a recall, this is truly awful of honda a name i trusted in, but, now would never recommended to anyone.
I bought this brand new car in 2005 and good maintenance on it. For about a month, my car had been acting funny when i came to a stop, periodically. Maybe once a week or so. By acting funny, i mean it did not seem to downshift immediately when i came to a stop, sometimes acting like someone bumped the car from behind barely. Last saturday, around 9 pm right at the stop sign, the transmission locked up and i could not reverse or downshifted. I had to pull the car to the road side. It was towed to the dealer where i purchased it next morning that was sunday and i had to pay $181 for towing. Monday, the dealer ship service called me and said transmission failure and i have to pay $4200 to replace it. I told them how can i bought the brand new car and it was only 67k miles, the transmission failure and i have to pay $4200.....after that they did contact to honda's corporate and told me that i have to pay $750 for manufacturers warranty deductible and honda will pay the rest. I have no choice so i let them fixed my car. But i would like to say is that why the car's transmission failed at 67k miles so who will buy the new honda with the problem like this. It cost me a nightmare to think about that night and i think the honda's corporate should responsible this problem and i don't have to pay $750 plug $181 towed car only 67k miles driving. Otherwise, i am keep thinking that it could have accident when the car stoppedat that night or my car wasdied on the trip around 100 miles away from home.
Our 2005 honda accord v6 suddenly stopped accelerating and behaved like it was on neutral.the engine revved but the car would not move forward.i had to stop the car in the middle of the road and put my hazards on.after a few minutes i started the engine again.when i put the car in drive there was a grinding noise and i felt the car go into gear a few seconds later. When i accelerated the car started to move slowly forwardand a whirring noise came from the engine.i had to stop and start the car 3-4 times on the remaining 3 mile drive home.i took it into a honda repair shop.we contacted honda corporate and they have offered to pay 75% of the cost of repair which is estimated at $5000.
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.
There is a rumble noise that happens at 25, 40, & 55 mph. It doesn't happen consistently and so it has taken me 2 years to finally get an answer to the problem. It appears to be the transmission.
2005 honda accord. Consumer request full reimbursement in regards to recall repairs *tgwthe consumer stated the transmission was making a bad whining sound. The dealer replaced the transmission and torque converter.
2005 honda accord lx (4dr, 4 cyl) shakes/shudders very badly when trying to accelerate between the speeds of 55 and 65 mph. This is very dangerous while merging on freeway. Dealer says transmission needs to be replaced. The vehicle has only 46 k miles. There is a possibility that the car will suddenly stop causing a crash. The same problem has been reported for 2003 and 2004 honda accords too.
Transmission failure on 2005 honda accord with 75k.it went out all of a sudden, almost causing an accident.
2005 honda accord v6 cp with only 37k on it, transmission failed this am and was towed to honda dealership in sacramento, ca. So far there is no update. Car has been maintained and well taken care of. Its soo sad that a honda car would brake down at only 37k when standard warranty is only good for 36k. I have no idea what will honda corporation decide but i hope they will stand behind their product and take care of their customers.
Is already time for someone to take real action again honda and the problem that a lot of 05 accord owner are having with very strong vibration from under the car. Making any trip unpleasant. I have research the web and they are hundreds of accord owner suffering from this problem with no answer from honda. Only answer available is according to the dealers, that''s normal which is not. In my case my car is to the point that at any rpm you feel you are driving a car that has 300k miles on it when is a brand new engine.i really don''t want to keep wasting my time with dealers because all of them tell you something different or that''s just normal. I am requesting that someone make honda aware of this issue and to find out a solution because this vibration just seem to be getting worse everyday.-vibration happens at any time when car is idle and any gear is engaged.-when accelerating very strong vibration is felt from under the car and gas pedal and wheels.-(dealer have check alignment, rotates tires, andcheck pressure on tire still same problem just getting worse).this vibration makes car powerless. At point driving in highway that car becomes powerless. Gas pedal have to be pushed really hard just to get it moving. Had a few incident in which almost got hit by other car because car just wouldn't pick up properly.
1. Noticed when drove off of the lot of the dealer. I thought that it was just more power with the vehicle because it is a v-6, which i am not familiar with.2. There is a hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear, which you can feel underneath your feet, almost like an annoying vibration.3. I took it to the dealer and they had no idea what it was.they then wanted to disconnect the abs to see if it could clear the problem, but it was just a test, i have no idea how that would remedy the problem.
My 2005 honda accord ex has three features that compromise my safety:1. The right-hand corner of the sun visor, when in its fullest position (not at an angle), obscures nearly half of the rearview mirror. This has caused a number of "near accident" events.2. The honda is designed to downshift when going downhill. Not only does this diminish gas efficiency, but can cause skids in icy weather.3. The brakes are extremely sensitive.i have spoken to two area honda service centers and a service representative at honda headquarter. The area managers say that "they're all like that; there's nothing we can do," and the honda headquarters rep says the same. She even went so far as to recommend i get the lower half of my windshield tinted to prevent sun glare! what about night driving?i can't believe that solutions to this problem cannot be found. Can you help in any way?

2005 honda accord ex-v6 auto-transmission gave out at 50mph.luckily it was the middle of the night and there were no other vehicles on the road but had their been someone behind me it would have been bad.the vehicle slipped 5th, 4th, and 3rd gear then slowed to a stop.the only reason i am bothering to file this complaint is that i have done some research online and have found that many other people which this same car have had similar problems (10 similar reports on carcomplaints.com since jan. 2009 alone).i am in luck because i have an extended warranty and it should be covered.it is currently at the dealership for repair.
Honda accord ex was parked in a picnic area near a local river. The driver stepped out with three passengers remaining in vehicle.the vehicle began to roll after the passenger turned off the ignition. The parking brake was not engaged, however, the driver states that the transmission was in park. The vehicle then rolled approximately 10' forward and down a 40 degree slope leading to the river.the vehicle stopped in the river with approximately one-half of the vehicle submersed.two passengers escaped prior to entering the water.both of these individuals received minor injury in the process.the other passenger was pulled out the passenger window after the vehicle had entered the river.we made several inquiries with honda corporation, local dealership, and our insurance company about possible mechanical problem.our hope was to have someone explain the possible scenarios leading to this incident.no one could provide complete evidence to in
Without warning my automatic transmission completely failed getting off the freeway today.when i went to make a right hand turn at the end of the ramp, the car wouldn't shift any higher than 2nd gear, couldn't increase speed to avoid oncoming cars, had no power. I was able to pull to the curb to avoid being hit.transmission needs to be replaced.
Dt:contact stated that while sitting at a stop light on a hill andtakingfoot off the brakesthe vehicle rolledbackward. Dealer and manufacturer told her this was normal for this type of vehicle. She was told the idle was lower for a quieter ride, and it didnot have the power the hold the vehicle on a hill.
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.

Transmission stutters in between 1st and 2nd gears on decelleration and acceleration.transmission seems to overheat.anticipate failure due to this anomoly.do not want to experience a lock up or loss of control of vehicle.
I have a 2005 honda accord v6, 85k miles. It happened all of a sudden (no computer warning) and it was in a serious situation (on the highway traveling between cities). The gears slipped and out of nowhere i'm drifting without any gear traction. I pulled over to the side of the road, turned it off, waited 20 minutes and then started it back up only to put it in drive and the car went in reverse! now they say its a transmission problem. How can a car of less than 5yrs have this issue? and a lot of people have complained about this issue to honda, only to claim there is no defects..here is a url of complains you see from people about the same issue on transmission.http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2008/05/honda-owners-fo.html.
While driving my 2005 honda accord v6 on the highway it slipped out of gear and violently down shifted to 2nd gear almost causing an accident! thank god the driver behind me was aware or it could have been fatal. From that day the transmission kept doing the same thing. The car has 95k. Honda has refused to take any responsibility for the failure!! this also happened to my 2002 accord!! something needs to be done before people get hurt! you would think honda of all car makers would stand behind what they make...but they don't...time to think about another car to by in the future!
Auto trans making noise, at 127kmi the speedo,odo stopped working - causing severe jolt/deceleration while driving. All warning lights went on tcs/engine/tranny/power steering. Auto went in for service, determined needed new transmission at cost of $4000.motor mount also found broken.after multiple calls to american honda - was told that 127k was a respectable mileage prior to tranny failure and there would be no good will assistance of repair costs! this car had long history of check engine lights due to faulty engine mgmt s/w which was resolved in late 2007. Also reported to dealer tranny light at 26k miles but was told nothing wrong.3k miles after replacement i find the gas mileage has increased by over 3mpg which makes me wonder if the orig tranny was problematic since purchase of car?
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would not shift gears and suddenly stalled. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the transmission failed. The vehicle was being repaired when the complaint was filed. The current and failure mileages were approximately 33,000.
1)the vehicle shakes at high speed.2)the vehicle at slow speed sounds like the wheelbearings are grinding themselves down3)the vehicle vibrates at slow and high speed but more so at high speed when pressing the brake peddle4)the vehicle was brought to the dealership 3 times for these problems with the drive train and the brakes.stillafter the third time of having new brakes and wheel bearing the vehicle continues to vibrate to such a manner as i feel it highly unsafe.

I own both a 2004 accord ex v6 coupe and now a 2005 ex v6 sedan with automatic transmissions.transmission gear shifter completely misses the "d" postition and moves into "d3" when shifting fromeither "park or neutral modes", as though that is the correct position to operate the vehicle when driving! this is not a normal condition to operate a vehicle. There is no significant "detent" position to secure the shifter into the "d" postion. It simple slips by the "d" mode right into "d3"!every other auto transmission car i've owned required extra effort to bypass the "drive" position to place the shifter into another(lower) gear setting.operating either oy my vehicles in this manner may eventually cause significant damage to the transmission, engine or both. It may even cause some unforeseen transmission behavior affecting drivability.honda customer service was contacted and their suggestion was to be "more careful" in selecting the gear shifter position.that does not sound like a very substantial solution to an obvious mechanical problem (short coming).
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While the contact wasdriving approximately 50 mph in heavy traffic, there was an excessive increase in engine rpms. The brake pedal was engaged and the vehicle lunged forward and failed to stop. When the gear was shifted into the park position the vehicle was able to stop. The gear selector would not shift out of the park position, and the ignition key would not turn or release from the ignition. The police was at the scene and he was able to shift into the drive range after several attempts. The ignition key suddenly turned and the vehicle was able to resume normally. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the technician was unable to duplicate the problem. The computerized system was updated. The failure occurred on a separate occasion. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 29,788. Updated 11/03/10. *ljupdated 12/7/10

The contact stated that the gear shifter knob fractured from the vehicle and the contact was unable to shift into any gear.in addition, the rubber seal on the driver side window was loosened when the window was being opened. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to a local mechanic who repaired the knob and the window. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 46,329.
Starting in september 2007, i had vibrations onmy 2005 honda accord. Tried many repairs like balancing tires and aligning front end. On 2/4/2008 dealer stated that left front axle is bad and charged me 50% of cost. After repair dealer return car to me with no air in right tires. Seemed that to test the car, dealer removed air anddid not replace and returned my vehicle to me and i drove on the highway.
I have a 2005 honda accord with a 6 speed manual transmission which i bought new in april 2005.i had intermittent problems engaging 3rd gear right from the start.i took the car in for this problem at 5,000 & 15,000 mi.honda mechanics could find no problem.at 34,712 mi. A mechanic finally verified the problem and replaced the trans fluid per tech line with part #08798-9031. This was in april 07.the problem persisted.in august 07 with44,000 mi. I took it in again for the same problem.no help.finally i was contacted by a service manager who verified that honda had a problem with 3rd gear in the accord and a fix was on the way.it would be available in december.it is now late march and still no fix.since that time i have gone on-line and found that honda has been aware of this problem with the 6 speed transmission in the accord, the civic and the acura since at least 2005.there are many sites with honda owners complaining of this problem and getting no response from honda.in certain situations, such as merging into traffic from a freeway on-ramp, it is very dangerous to have the car either not go into 3rd gear or pop out of it.the vehicle immediately decelerates and other vehicles traveling at freeway speeds come up very fast.is there any way to make honda fix these cars?below is an excerpt from edmunds.com and also a service bulletin related to this on-going problem.a few of our editors have noticed in the past that the transmission shift lever in our long-term 2006 honda civic si will occasionally pop out of gear or grind when making a 2-to-3 upshift. This trait does not seem to be endemic to our car as other civic si owners have made forum posts about this topic. (other six-speed manual acura vehicles might also suffer from this problem.) brent romans, senior automotive editor, edmunds.comtsb #1205 -- transmission grinds at shifts, skip shifting.(nhtsa id #10018868, december 16 2005).

The cluster lights and the dome light will get dim. The dome light does when you open the doors. The cluster lights will while the head lights are on. The lights on the radio do the same. The radio will make a loud noise and stop playing until you turn off and turn back on.the wiring to back speakers is put in wrong dont work at all. The seat belts will lock when trying to pull them and it dont matter if its in motion or stationary.
I was driving like any other day on the freeway and my passenger airbag deployed for no apparent reason- there was no accident at all. Luckily there was no one in the passenger seat. After contacting honda they said they would send a representative to the local dealership to check to take care of the repair but the honda dealership in el cerrito ca did not want to pay for the repair and wanted to charge full amount to fix it saying the car is out of warranty. I needed my car soon for my transportation so i went to my trusted mechanic to repair the airbag and he informed me it was not safe to drive becuase the driver's airbag could deploy at anytime which could result in a crash or injury or fatality. I would appreciate a full refund from honda for cost of the repair as it came out to be $3,374.68. This cost is very high and i am not responsible for this safety malfunction. This is a major safety issue and i am very upset that honda does not want to fix what could have possibly caused a person harm.thank youupdated 09/05/12*ljupdated 09/10/2012
Takata recall. My 2005 honda accord airbag/srs light has been continuously staying off and on.
My car dashboard showing up the airbag sign on and off. I make investigation thru motor trend that this car has a problem about seat belt/buckle front driver seat. I call up american honda at torrance ca. They told me my vehicle vin # is not affected by this problem. Thisis surprise for me. The car is made by honda. All of this kind of model should be affected by this airbag problem. As per motor trend the recall date was jan. 03, 2007. And most affected is 2005 honda accord. Please help methis is not safety anymore.
I have 2005 honda accord which is not included in the takata recall but i have a airbag light that goes off and on.as a result, my passenger side seat belt locked up when i took it to the dealer they said that the engine read a code that said it was involved in rear collision and it was not.they also stated that the seat belt could have locked up because the airbag light is on.someone was sitting in the seat and had to maneuver to get out of it.the dealership has told me it will cost $800 and up to repair the seat belt (and it was not covered under the lifetime warranty for seat belts)but when i took the car to honda the airbag light was not on at that moment so they told me it was nothing they can do unless it was on.i believe that this is a problem because the dealership also told me that if i have a faulty airbag that my seat belt may continue to lock up.i am hesitant to fix the seat belt because of the airbag situation.
"takata recall".....i purchased this car 2 years ago and the seat belt warning light has always been lit.i just had my oil changed today and the repair shop advised me that there was an error code which means defective air bag. Also the driver seat belt buckle showed defective.yesterday i received 2 different emails from nhtsa for 2 recalls (#19v499 and #19v501). No letter was received from honda yet but i hate to wait for a letter to arrive as that could take 60 days, then would have to wait for the dealer to get the parts and then get an appointment. This situation is life-threatening. Is there any way to speed this process up? also the repair shop stated that a lot of the air bags that have been replaced, are now being recalled.
Front airbag warning light has come on.additionally, the seat belt light on the dash no longer illuminates.forum search says the driver side seat belt sensor is most likely failed.
The car have a recall for front airbags the light on the dashboard was on but when i went to fix the problems the car still have the same light on and more malfunctions with the seat belt sensor. Honda didn't fix it a want me to pay almost $300 for repair something that honda is suppose to take care if the car has a recall.
"takata recall"i was coming to a stop for a traffic light and did not brake in time to stop my vehicle before i tapped into the rear bumper of an suv.i was going very slow /probably under 10mph. My drivers side airbag deployed and i got cuts on my arm and a chemical burn as well. My drivers side seatbelt is not working now (locked.) i have slight damage on the right front passenger side bumper. I becameaware of the takata airbag recall after this happened.this occurred on 2/20/2017 in the daytime/ clear, sunny skies.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While driving approximately 50 mph, the contact's vehicle was cut off by another vehicle. As a result, the contact rear ended the other vehicle. The front passenger air bag failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact stated that all four passengers in the vehicle sustained injuries that required medical attention. The driver and front seat passenger sustained whiplash and injuries to the neck, back, and leg due to the seat belt restraints not operating properly. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 297,371.
I recently received an airbag notice to have the passenger air bag replace at the dealer. I promptly delivered my vehicle to the dealer texas honda of austin, tx. After the air bag was replaced and they updated the computer, i am now getting an srs warning light which is intermitting. And according to my manual take it to your dealer. When i reported it to the dealer they advised that the two had no relevance. That i would have to pay for the repairs and that the parts were not available. According to honda's site the seat wiring harness should have been replaced to avoid this.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact noticed that the air bag light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The failure occurred intermittently but with time became permanent. In addition, the seat belt warning light would not illuminate when the seat belt was not engaged. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 24,000.
Air bag light would come on intermittently.then started staying on more.within the week went to dealer and they said it was my seatbelt sensor.covered under my 5 year extended warranty. Thank goodness.
The drivers side seat belt buckle, position sensor harness failed and gave a airbag failure display. Repair shop obtained two alert codes on the honda accord,e.g. 61-10 and 71-10.the harness was replaced. This is a safety issue that the airbags would not have worked due to a buckle failure.the two codes previously noted could not be identified.the vehicle"s vin no. Reports no outstanding recalls, including the recent manufactures airbag problems.
Srs light stays on all the time.
The seat belts in the 2005 honda accord hybrid provided no safety in a collision. The airbags also failed to deploy in the same collision. I was the passenger in the front seat of a 2005 honda accord hybrid when we rear ended a volvo s-80. The volvo then struck an altima.the accord struck the volvo with considerable force. The volvo's trunk was damaged and would not open. The structural bar in the accord protecting the radiator was also bend beyond repair.i had the passenger seat as far back as it would go and was wearing my seat belt. During the collision my knees struck the front dash and swelled. The driver also suffered severe knee pain mostly likely from striking her knees against the dash or steering column. I believe the airbags should have deployed. Even if the bags did not deploy then the seat belts should have held.the seat belts in the 2005 honda accord hybrid provided no safety in a collision.
Have information that the air bag and side air bag may not be working properly on the passenger side and the shoulder strap on the same side doesn't release as it should. Thanks
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking fluid from underneath. The failure recurred multiple times. It was discovered that the fluid was leaking from the power steering hose and a clamp was placed on the hose. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also stated that the seat belt warning indicator illuminated when the seat belt was fastened and the brake pedal was depressed, but the seat belt failed to retract. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.
Airbag light appears on the dadshboard intermittently.it only comes on if i start the car and do not have my seatbelt on.if my seatbelt is on, the light does not come on.further, while driving and the light is not on, the moment i take my seatbelt off, while the car is running, the airbag light comes on.
Similar issue as report 10659813. The airbag/seatbelt light above the gas gauge randomly stays lit. Doesn't happen each time the vehicle is used, and occurs more in cold weather than warm. Dealer has been notified several times and each time states that they could not do anything unless we brought the vehicle to them while the light was on. This situation does not happen consistently enough to allow us to take it to a dealer when the light is on. Also speed control does not work!
Srs indicator light illuminated upon unbuckling driver's side seat belt with engine running.srs light would remain on after placing seat belt back into the buckle.the srs light would also illuminate at random while driving with seat belt in buckle.the only temporary solution was to stop/start the engine.honda's diagnosis was a faulty seat belt buckle requiring a complete replacement which resolved the issue.however, the dealer would not honor the lifetime seat belt warranty for this repair.
While my son was driving my vehicle, a 2005 honda accord ex-l, he was involved in a head-on crash in which he was injured and the vehicle received heavy damage. My son was taken to the hospital due to cervical spine, lumbar and chest injury. The vehicle had struck another vehicle at a speed of about 35 mph and the airbag failed to deploy. On the dashboard the airbag sign did light on, however, no airbag had deployed. The seat belt pre-tensioner had fried since the seat belt was locked and was not retracting in addition, the seat belt pre-tensioner had fries.i had contacted honda north america, and they reported there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and the vehicle behaved as it was suppose to. However, after contacting nhtsa, the representative stated with a 2005 honda accord, if the seat belt pre-tensioner fires, the airbag should fire simultaneously, who then suggested me to submit a claim to nhtsa. The vehicle did undergo repair authorized by the insurance company. The seat belt was replaced in addition to the airbag module and other associated items. However, the old items are not available.
I was traveling at a speed of about 45 mph. The driver's side curtain airbag, driver's seat airbag, and driver's seatbelt spontaneously deployed. There is no apparent reason for this.
Dt:the contact's vehiclewas involved in a multiple vehicle crash.thisvehicle was the fourth to collide with the other vehicles.upon impact, ,both frontal airbags failed to deploy and the driver side seat belt did not restrain her properly. The seat belt allowed her to collide with the steering wheel and caused minor bruises.the frontal collision caused frame damage tovehicle.a police report taken at the scene.the vehicle is currently at a collision center being inspected.
Failure of driver's shoulder seat belt to retract during major accident. While driving my 2005 honda accord, another driver failed to yield to oncoming traffic and i hit head on at 45 mph at my driver's left front to center front.driver airbag deployed and seat belt was buckled, but there was no tension nor retraction of my driver's shoulder seat belt. I went above air bag, into and broke windshield and back up again.sustained head, neck, back, chest and arm injuries. 2005 honda was totaled by insurance company.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. When the vehicle was started, the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 07v001000 (air bags). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000. Updated 11/04/15*ljthe consumer also stated the seat belt light illuminated. Updated 11/8/15.
The defect concerns the failure of the mounting assembly for the driver's seat. This car has power front seats.the left rear mount for the driver's front seat has broken from the under carriage below the seat causing the left rear of the driver's seat to be disconnected and loose from the undercarriage and potentially the seat could come loose in an accident.the undercarriage contains the power equipment to move the seat and mount the seat. A honda dealer has inspected the seat and said the seat under carriage must be replaced at a cost of $750.i consider this a safety problem since the driver's seat mount is broken an the drivers seat could come loose in an accident.
My 2005 accord had an illuminated supplemental restraint system (srs) light.the honda dealer diagnosed it down to a broken driver seat sensor harness; fault codes 71-10 (drivers seat pos sensor) and a2-10 (faulty pwr supply).this condition is exactly the same as described in honda service bulletin 07-002, "safety recall: driver's seat position sensor harness replacement."just as described in the bulletin, the wires on the harness become damaged and in fact were completely broken away from the plug end.however, my vin falls outside the affected vin's listed in the service bulletin and is not covered under this action.furthermore, i feel the dealer charged more than necessary for the repair: they charged 1.96 hrs of labor (at $97.00/hr), or $190.00, and $15.20 for the part totaling $205.20.in comparison, the service bulletin calls for 0.6 hrs of labor, which when added to the part cost would have totaled $73.40. Bottom line:honda did not provide the proper fix for damaged driver's seat position harness's in later production vins.since they continue to cause the same unsafe condition, honda must be compelled to increase the scope of this recall.
The back seat does not allow for a flat sturdy surface for an infant car seat.i have pulled as tight as i can on the seat belt and latches and find that neither offers a secure 1" standard of play.the seats tip when i turn a corner with my grandchild in it.it is unsturdy.i have tried heavy and light seats and they still tip.i have to stuff towels underneath to try to balance, but of course a towel in an accident will not protect in an accident.by law i must use a back seat and not a front seat.is there a flatter more stable back seat?
My 2005 honda accord lx v6 srs light illuminated at approx. 63000 miles. The honda dealer diagnosed the problem to dtc 71-10 (broken driver seat sensor harness). Honda had a safety recall (service bulletin 07-002)regarding this problem in january 2007. My vehicle was not included in the recall. Out of pocket cost $203.29.i have seen many other complaints lodged with the nhtsa on this matter. Why was this recall not expanded?
About 6 months after i purchased my new vehicle my leather began to buckle and had a vein-like appearance. I have talk to the warranty department for honda who indicates this is "clearly a material defect". When i took the vehicle to the dealership to address the problem, i was told it would take months to get the new seats. I then took it to another dealership who told me that i need to condition the leather so the buckling was my fault.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord.the contact stated that his driver seat position sensor wiring harness failed. The dealer stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 07v001000 (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module).the failure mileage was 36,000.
I have a 2005 honda accord ex#. I have a broken seat position sensor wire harness. This vehicle falls outside the recall vin series for the honda recallq31. I think that they cutoff the vehicle series to soon. My car has the same problem as the recall. I have contacted honda and have received no satisfaction.
I was using my heated seats this morning on my way to work.i set the driver's side seat on the low setting and within a few minutes my left thigh began to burn.i looked down and saw smoke coming from the seat and noticed the leather beginning to discolor.i immediately turned the heat off and snuffed out the smoke with my fingers.i am now in the process of notifying honda.
I was driving on the highway going about 75 mph. And the brakes randomly applied them self causing my car to go from 75 to 60 mph almost getting hit from behind. I have contacted honda they said "scene they can not get the car to do it while they took it for a test drive there is nothing they can do.' i have done a ton of research on hondas. From 2003 to 2006 they have had a lot of complaints about brake problems and radio problems . The radio in my car does not work right in order for it to work right the wantme to buy a new audio part. All of this on my budget. The brakes are a major safety concern and the just blow it off like nothing is wrong.i am hoping by sharing this with you guys something will be done to help make my car and other safer on the roads..
I've owned my 4-dr., 6-cyl. Ex model since purchasing it from a honda parts dept. Employee in jan., 2007 with 24k miles on the engine. It has performed generally very well until it developed a safety-related, brake system problem that has gotten progressively worse since it first occurred-- namely, that the brake pedal has become progressively soft when applied, and recently has to be applied strenuously all the way to the floor to get even a minimal stopping response.when the problem first occurred, i began regularly checking the brake fluid level in my master cylinder. Only occasionally did the cylinder require some minimal, additional brake fluid--akin to a normal maintenance amount.keeping my fluid to a maximum-level has not resolved the problem.this past march (2015), i requested my well-rated, independent mechanic to diagnose the problem. He first identified the same 3 earlier honda service bulletins that i had (going all the way back to 2007) that addressed this brake problem, wherein honda was mostly implicating a faulty abs (control) module as the cause of the problem (note: i've never received a safety recall svc. Bulletin from honda for this problem). My mechanic estimated that replacing my abs module would cost over $2000, but that even then there would be no guarantee that my problem would be resolved.so, until i could decide what action to take, i had him do a front brake job to "buy" whatever extra stopping-power i could ... Which turned out to be minimal-to-none!not only does my problem remain, but it is getting rapidly worse ... To the point that i'm reluctant make long, highway-speed trips, and am driving super-defensively so as to be able to stop the car in any kind of risky situation. I plan to appeal to the honda america hierarchy, starting with my local dealership.
After investing $900 in non-wear brake component replacement since 2007 (calipers, rotors), the car began to require ever-increasing pedal effort to slow & stop. Dealer replaced brake fluid per maintenance schedule, restoring previous performance. 07november2011, pedal effort problem returned, worse than ever. $390 to replace master cylinder and problem was not corrected. 12dec2011 (84,000miles), $590 was "my half" (honda split cost with me) to replace abs modulator- a known problem with this model according to the dealer. This is an otherwise wonderful car but has enough siblings on the road to present a credible threat to public safety. Additionally, the @$1900 i've spent so far on brake system hardware does not include regular wear items (pads, fluid, misc) which are normal replacement cost items.i believe honda should recall this model, inspect/replace brake components to ensure public safety, and reimburse owners who have already done the right thing in replacing defective parts that should not have ever been on the road in the first place.
Vehicle begins to shake (along with steering wheel) while braking at any speed over 45 mph. Happens during all different driving conditions and road conditions.
May 4, 2015, 2005 honda accord v6 stalled and all systems non-functional while driving.accord rear-ended a car at rest at a stop sign.in november 2011, the transmission gave out on freeway.vehicle stayed on and i was able to quickly coast off the freeway, but drive train was out and needed to be replaced (105k miles).this transmission failure seems to be consistent with other nhtsa reports.in april, 2011 the accord began stalling and all systems failed while the car was in drive and moving.in may, 2012 the dch honda of temecula found faulty throttle sensor and replaced the part.the vehicle has not experienced this problem again until this failure and accident.i see several reports of accords stalling on this site.is this a known problem? my daughter was fortunate this didn't happen when approaching oncoming traffic or the freeway.this seems like a serious safety issue.
We have had concerns about the brakes in this car since we purchased it from an individual six months ago.when you depress the brake pedal gently the car jerks forward practically sending the occupants in the vehicle through the windshield. On the other hand, when you really need to stop and apply the brakes quickly they do not respond, requiring a greater braking distance. We have taken our honda to two honda dealerships to register our complaints regarding our brakes and were told "this is just the way the 05 is". One individual actually laughed at the situation, which i findinfuriating due to the safety factor. On nov,11, 2012 we were on i-40 and had to stop quickly due to an accident ahead of us. The lady in front of us came to a dead stop. I was watching the situation in front of us and began slowing down and braking. I hit the brake pedal and the car slowed down, but did not come to a stop. I then applied the brakes again, pressing the pedal to the floor, the car still did not stop until it hit the car in front of us. We have shared our concerns with our insurance company and they do not seem interested. Together with a private investigator, we have found many complaints with the braking system in the accord and other models as well. People have registered complaints just like ours, concerned for their safety..afraid to drive their car.
I did not finance my 2005 honda; i paid cash upfront $18,000+. From the beginning i have been reporting to honda that there is a "major" problem with the brakes!i bought the car in late september 2005;. When winter came, i noticed that my brakes would stall when it extreme weather(snow, heavy rain, extremely cold weather)! during these poor weather conditions, when i press on the brakes, the car will not stop right away. There is a heavy pulsating noise and feeling going on, and the car will not stop until i have pressed down on the brakes as far as i could and the car has continued moving for a distance. Over the years, i have reported it and have taken it back and forth to the dealership, and have been told each time that they can not find a problem! i feel as though they didn't take responsibility because i did not finance the car.there have been times when i thought that i was going to die, because of this critical brake problem.today is monday, january 11, 2016... The weather was extremely cold this morning (maybe around 32 degrees), and this situation with these honda manufactured brakes occurred again. I was terrified when my i pressed down on the brakes to stop for a woman pushing a baby carriage at a school cross-walk! honda has avoided taking responsibility for this highly dangerous problem for far too long, and many people have probably died or become greatly injured to problems such as this with their honda vehicles! from this report i am hoping for an immediate response and action to this "highly critical" matter. Today, was the final straw! these brakes have to be recalled....i don't want to die and i certainly don't want anyone else to die because the brakes on my 2005 honda would not stop!
Air bag needs to be replaced and ever since i bought it i been having steering wheel noise and it shakes constantly. I bought new tires, changed power steering, pump, hose and it still does the same thing. I go to discount tires nearly every two weeks to get tires rebalanced even if its new. They still cant find the problem. Car also turns off sometimes. Happpened five times already. The steering whistle sound is constant now and when my car turned off it was on the street parked and alsomaking turns causes the steering wheel to be stiff.
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.
On several occasions i've experienced my car pulling itself to drive forward when i am at a complete stop.
Loud grinding noise from rear upon stopping and going, and brakes sticking. This is the third time fixing and changing the pads and rotors. Very low use of vehicle and short time between having brakes done again.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord lx. The contact stated while at a stop light, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond. As a result, the contact crashed into another vehicle causing the air bags to deploy. The contact sustained a back injury that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The manufacturer has not been made aware of the failure. The contact stated the vin was not included in recall nhtsa campaign number: 11v395000 (power train). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 44,000.
I previously drove my aunt's 2005 honda accord hybrid on several occasions.almost as soon as the vehicle was purchased, on more than one occasion, the brakes failed and caused accidents.the accelerator would also accelerate on its own.the car would simply speed up on its own.the car would also at times stop or turn off on its own.i assumed because the car was a hybrid or different that it was normal.at times when accidents would occur, i couldn't believe what had happened.the car literally drove away.a few times others drove the car and mentioned the same.my aunt previously tried trading in thevehicle, but it was too expensive to trade in.on january 11,2011.a fatal accident occurred while driving this vehicle.my mother, whom is a precautious driver was driving my cousin to school and were involved in a fatal car accident.the honda struck a school bus right in the middle.i believe the car like on many other occasions accelerated on its own or the brakes failed.i feel devastated that i have lost my mother and cousin because of this accident, but feel that my mother was not at fault.she was always a safe driver and in this case i believe the vehicle was at fault.
When starting call first thing in the am in cold weather (below 35) i must pump the brakes before driving, if not they respond as if there is no power braking occurring and hard braking is required.this will occur several times before they seem respond normally.
I have a 2005 honda accord hybrid. I was driving my vehicle away from my home and had trouble pressing on the brake pedal. The brake pedal would not depress and i could not use the emergency brake to stop either. The brake was hard and seemed as if it was frozen or stuck in place. When i pulled the emergency brake lever all it did was beep and flash that i had pulled it, it did not slow me down or stop me. I had gone through 2 stop signs at this point. I finally was able to get the car into reverse so that the engine would rev and the brake pedal would finally depress. That was the only thing that would work. The car did not go in reverse but it did stop enough for me to actually use the brake. I called honda directly and because no complaints were previously issued they could not help me. My local dealers were too booked up to handle the issue as well. After it happening a total of 4 times i was finally able to get in touch with a mechanic who will be checking out the vehicle. I am very lucky that this did not end up in a crash or fatality. I had my 3 year old son in the car and i am pregnant with our second child. Systems should be in place to help people out in situations like this and there were not. For this reason i would never buy a hybrid nor a honda again. Im hoping the mechanic i found can fix the problem or atleast figure out what it is before myself or someone else gets hurt when my brake pedal decides to fail again. I have tried letting my car warm up before leaving my home to ensure thatmay help and it does not. It actually made it worse and instead of it only happening once on that trip, it happened twice. When the pedal is stuck i cannot stop, i can slow down but not enough to stop. Something really should be done about this before it happens to anyone else.
On saturday at 11:50 pm, i was cruising at the 169th & maple rd, omaha, ne parking lot.. At a front parking junction, i made a right turn at about 2-3 mph speed. I slowed and braked for a pedestrian walking across my path. My car started revving and accelerating rapidly. I immediately pressed the brake pedals harder. The harder i pressed, the harder the acceleration became. I became very concerned and scared that the car might accelerate suddenly and may cause a terrible accident. I quickly move the gear hand pedal shifters foward to (p)ark. The car jerked forward a bit and then stood still; however, the engine started revving with a loud din and then back to normal.i started to slowly movethe gear back into (d)rive mode. The car behaved normally and i parked my car in a available parking slot. Prior to this incident, i had a minor incident similar to this. This was a about 2 weeks back. I was slowed and stopped at a traffic light to make a right turn to maple. While in stop mode pressing the brake, the car started jerking and accelerating forward slowly. I quickly pressed the brake harder and it jerked forward and stopped. At that point, i just shrugged it off, thinking that was unusual but wasn't really bad to take issue. All this happened when i changed my accord hybrid battery and a hybrid controller over a month back when i had a hybrid battery and the controller that needed to be replace on account of a safety issue with the car. The car felt ok after the change. However, i had the car since 2005 and never did i encounter a sudden acceleration on this car, not once until after the battery and controller change. I can only relate now to what actually has happened and is very concerned for my life and my family to whoever drives the vehicle.
05 honda/accord sdn/accord 4dr ex-l while my wife was driving on highway she lost complete control of car due to abs brake failure. I brought car to honda dealer to have car inspected. Dealer solution defective abs module needed to be replaced at my cost due to warranty expiration. My reply was due to safety hazard and part being defective. Parts and labor should covered 100%.
At 12k reported a brake problem. Dealer could not identify cause and turned rotors front and rear and replaced the pads. At approximately 24k, same issue again. Dealer could not identify cause and replaced pads front and rear and turned rotors. The shake and vibration returned at just past the 36k warranty period. Car is now at 49k, left rear brake is worn out and the rotor is badly scored. Honda refused to provide any further factory assistance and stated it is my responsibility at this point. It is my contention that the car has had a safety issue with the brake system since new and honda through it's dealer has not taken the proper steps to identify the issue and correct it, rather performeda bandaid fix and sent me on my way. This car is unsafe at this time and has been since new.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord.the contact stated that the vehicle was being serviced by an authorized dealer for an abnormal squeaking noise heard from the brakes when she was informed that all four brakes pads were completely worn and the rotors were warped.the vehicle was repaired.the failure recurred approximately one year later. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where she was then informed that the calipers and rotors would need to be replaced.the vehicle was repaired.the vin was unavailable.the failure mileage was 39,219 and the current mileage was 48,539.
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 awhole.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.

Have replaced brake 3 times on 2005 honda accord.car has only 51000 miles and has not been drive hard. I find this is a common problem with honda.
2005 honda accord ex (4 cyl 5-at)1)continual problem with braking system at low speeds2)when at low speeds, apply the brakes and they grab so abruptly that the car stops with a jerk, often causing seat belts to lock.this can also occur when braking from high speeds to lower speeds in order to stop car.because stops so abruptly have almost been in an accident where cars behind me had to swerve out of the way.one such instance happened on a busy toll both during rush hour.3)honda dealer where car had been purchased said nothing they can do.it's a problem with most 2005 brakes.
Brakes make grinding noise, the dealer says this is normal and claim the brakes are good.
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.
This started when i bought the car in 2005 and continues today (2011). I don't drive the car often for several reasons, one being a constant problem with the brakes. When driving on the highway at higher speeds, the wheel has always stuttered. When on a steep hill, the breaks have never halted the car completely. I have to make sure there are no cars crossing in front of me when on a steep hill. The brakes are terrible if i'm in a place where there is snow. I can't even drive it in snow or where there is a lot of rain. The tires are very good and all terrain, so it isn't that.i have the brakes inspected all of the time and they're only slightly used. I have tires rotated and aligned on a regular basis. But half of the time the brakes grind. Even after inspection at three different honda dealerships, nobody can figure out what's wrong. I wrote to honda about this and several other problems, but they didn't even respond, let alone remedy the problem. I feel the car is dangerous and i use it as little as possible in perfect weather conditions and on flat roads. It's sad that honda takes no responsibility. I had only gotten hondas in the past because of reputation and reliability. I will be buying another "brand" from here on out. I used to live in california and now live in new mexico. I bought the car in santa monica. I have been to several dealerships in both places.

The failure mileage was 20,000.the current mileage was 118,000.
I brought the car in april while driving home from the dealer i noticed that when applying the brake (slowly) before coming into a complete stop the brake pedal would lock up, release and then come to a complete stop slow acceleration i wasn't able to pick up speed once it did the check engine light would come on code p0122 throttle pedal position sensor.
Dt*:the contact stated during sudden, hard braking the vehicle pulled to the right.then a few days later, during normal braking, the vehicle pulled to the left.the dealership was unable to determine a problem.then while traveling 30 mph on a slushy downhill road the brake pedal was depressed and the brakes did not respond.the vehicle rear ended another vehicle.there was a police report taken at the scene.the driver received minor injuries.the vehicle was driven to the dealership, where repairs were made for property damage.the dealership was unable to determine the problem with the brakes.the vehicle was taken to another dealership and an independent repair shop, which was unable to determine the problem as well.there was a rough idle when coming to a stop. The headlights flicker at times. Updated 07/05/06.
I was traveling east on i-195. I saw that a police officer had a vehicle pulled over on the right. I moved over to the left lane. When i did, i crossed onto the rumble strip on the left of the highway. I applied the brakes while on the rumble strip and nothing happened. The vehicle began to accelerate wildly. I tried to bring the vehicle back under control. My husband pulled the emergency brakes. Instead of slowing us down; the vehicle went out of control. I clearly remember the last moments screaming brakes! brakes! we then went sideways before going across the grass median into opposing traffic. We were immediately struck on the passenger side by a vehicle-traveling west. My husband took the full force of the impact and was killed instantly. I went into a coma. I was airlifted to texas neuro rehab in austin from capital health hamilton, nj. Now i am permanently disabled.not a moment in my life has gone by since that day without thinking of my husband and what happened to us. I remained in a coma until oct, 2005 i woke up in tx. I have permanently lost my ability to walk, talk, or write normally.honda issued a recall in 2005. I received it after the accident.i never gave up hope of finding the true cause. Recent problems with other hybrid vehicles were exposed. I continued looking on the web for honda owners with similar complaints, and have found many. Limited space prohibits me from giving you more than one link.http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2005/honda/accord_hybrid, for the brake problem. This complaint is like what happened when i applied the brakes on the rumble strip. Our accident report states: 'vehicle #1 swerved over the left side rumble strip, came back onto the left lane, accelerated back over the left side rumble strip off the roadway through the grass median and onto westbound trafficthere were no straight-line skid marks on the highway from my vehicle, only yaw marks when the vehicle went out of control.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact statedwhile driving various speed with the brake pedal engaged thevehicle jerked violently.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000 and current mileage was 77,000.
When trying to brake, my car shakes and shimmies as if it is stopping on a cobblestone road--worse when trying to brake when going downhill or at higher speeds. This minimizes my control as my steering column begins to shake and i have to "pump" the brakes to a complete stop. I replaced the brakes at about 3,000 miles and have to keep replacing them as it gets worse and worse. I took it to a mechanic and he said that my brake pads are fine and can't figure out what the issue is.
Bad brakes on 2005 honda accord, 4 cyl, bought new, from purchase.took back to dealer several times.dealer unable to make repairs that last.accord now has 32,000 miles and bad brakes.bad brakes:at highway speed, the brakes don't hold, vibrates steering wheel, car does not stop.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle had a longer braking distance.this occurred on two separate occasions.the vehicle was driven to the dealer, where the problem could not be duplicated. Updated 2/12/2007 -the rear brakes had to be replaced although they had less than 5000 miles in them.the consumer feels that the rear brake are doing most of the braking which is causing the vehicle to slide rather than stop.the dealer told the consumer that they think his driving habits are the cause of the brakes wear so quickly.when rolling down the right or left front windows the consumer heard a grinding noise.the technician lubricated the window glass runs.
I own a 2005 honda accord hybrid and every winter (mn) at least 6 -10 times a year the brakes do not work.the power braking system simply doesn't work.it takes every bit of strength in my legs to apply the brakes, and it is still quite hard to come to complete stop.seems as if the colder it is, the worse and more frequent this happens.no one can give me an answer as to why it happens or how to fix it.however, they say just warm the car up first.we have warmed our car up, kept in the garage and after 25 minutes of driving down the road, car warm, so thing can happen at any given moment.

When i first purchased my honda, it was brought back to the dealer several times for a "shaking" at certain speeds.this was dismissed over and over and blamed on tire air pressure and alignment.i knew this could not be the cause and found other honda drivers complaining about the same issue.recently, the passenger side tire came disengaged while driving the vehicle causing the car to crash down on the rotor.the vehicle was at a dealership recently for a repair, i believe this issue has been over looked by honda and could have caused severe injury to myself or other drivers.it appears the shaking directly caused this issue with the vehicle.
I was driving down through someones yard and its like my vehicle made a grinding sound and a malfunction light illuminated an exclamation point in a triangle. I almost got stuck and i was horrified at the sound. Later on i started noticing it was harder to control thw vehicle at higher speeds on the road. Especially after it rained i would leave my yard and would almost be trapped in my yard. Very eerie grinding sound with 3 malfunction lights on: abs, traction control, and brake lamp illuminated.
We could not get the steering wheel to lock so we could get the keyin to start the car.we were stranded.what is wrong and is there some defect in the ignition?

Honda accord 2005 2.4liter vtec 4dr/lxpower steering fluid hose feed is leaking and honda wouldn't cover repairs.the power steering fluid hose feed is leaking because of cracks on the line.i have been adding fluid to thepower steering reservoir for three months twice a month. Last week i took the car to the dealership where the car was purchase in 2005 for regular maintenance and they saw the problem and diagnose. They indicated that the problem is part of the recall from honda last year. After running my car vin it came up that my car vin is not part of the recall vin list. I ask them why it is not part of the list. Since my car was purchase in 2005 brand new and is part of the model year between 2003 to 2007. They say i should call honda and ask them about the car. So today 3/13/2013 i call honda and they indicated that my car vin is not part of the recall list as well. Even though it is experiencing the problem from the october 2012 recall. They said it can't be cover. I will have to paid out of pocket. The dealership is charging about 500 to 600 for labor and parts to replace the bad power steering hose. I am writing to report this problem about my vehicle vin not been on the recall list. Please help.concern 2005 honda accord 2.4 liter vtec single owner.
With in the first year of owning our honda, the clutch went out. We paid $2700 to dealership to replace the entire assembly. Ever since then the clutch or related parts such as the master cylinder goes out suddenly every 12 months.
The power steering hose was replaced by dealer under earlier recall.it is now leaking and causing noxious fumes in the car.i called the dealer.service person told me that because it was serviced under the recall, my car was no longer subject to the recall and i would have to pay to get it fixed.this does not seem right to me.
Looking for forms relating to possible power steering recall on 20045 honda accord-very hard to turn out of a driveway-almost feels as if driving a manual car.

2005 honda accord. Consumer writes in regard to safety recall for power steering.*as
My vehicle was parked in the parking lot of a grocery store. I was on my home from work and had stopped to purchase a few items. The engine was turned off. I had been in the store for about 10 minutes when i heard the loudspeaker asking for the owner of a 2005 gold honda accord to come to the customer service counter. When i approached the person behind the counter, he asked me to look outside to see if the vehicle on fire was, in fact, my car. Smoke was coming from the engine of my car and two vehicles from the fire department were trying to put out the fire. The car was totaled.honda insisted it was my fault, but i found out much later that engine fires had occurred in other 2005 accords. State farm gave me the replacement value for the vehicle, but it wasn't enough to purchase a car of equal value. The honda accord was still under warranty. I felt i should have been compensated for the entire cost of the car. Plus, if the fire had occurred while i was driving, i might not be here writing this letter to you.i was just recently made aware of some of the recalls from honda for this exact problem. I believe honda should take ownership of this problem and compensate me fairly for my loss. I have the vin number and all of the paperwork from state farm, including photos of the damage to car taken after the fire.
Wipers and wiper washer stopped working; no blown fuses involved; keyless entry system not working; remote control is now opening just the trunk but nothing else; radio backlight not working & power steering gets hard in cold weather or after driving on streets or roads with little maneuver. Even after pump replacement.
Hard to steer at low speed. At idle, can not turn wheel very well unless you put in neutral and increase the rpm. Power steering pump used to squeal and dealer replaced some seals on power steering system. Honda repair shop said " many honda cars steer hard" if i need to turn wheel at low speed to get out of way of danger, forget it!
Car smokes and leaks power steering fluid. I have to refill it every two days and it smokes bad even fills the car with fumes and smoke.it smokes while driving after the car heats up but when i put it in park it fills up the inside with smoke.
The line for power steering began leaking and caught fire and i had to replace the line at my expense. I could not get help from the dealer at that time. I have my receipt for the line that was about$149.00 to replace.
Steering wheel very difficult to turn at low speed.this started about a month ago (november 2016) and continues today (12/22/2016).
After getting the honda accord steering hose replaced due to overheating, i begin to hear noises and have steering issues. I took my car to the dealership and was told that i need to replace the rack and pion steering and the power steering pump. I believe that due to the power steering hose was the cause to additional problems to the steering.
My power steering pressure line is leaking, also reservoir leaks and steering always whines and its full of fluid. Leaks on my driveway. When its stationary it leaks and when in motion it whines.
Even though i regularly maintain my car, my car stalls at random while driving and the steering also locks up. This is extremely dangerous -the malfunction could have killed me or potentially caused a serious accident. This incident happened while i was driving down a busy street road - there was no warning, and no indicator lights went off prior to this happening - the car just shut off (stalled) and the steering locked up! luckily i was able to get to the side of the road.i will never feel safe in a honda again.

The clear coat started to peel on the roof of my car and now covers most of the roof.the paint on the rest of the car is fine except the roof implying the roof panel painting is defective.
I have owned a 2005 honda accord since sept. 2005.both of the car key casements have broken without abuse during this time.now that may seem trivial, but they do so without warning due to extremely bad design/engineering.they seem to have been designed to fail.to replace them i have been told that each key would cost $67 and the programming another $88.without the case being attached to the key, the ignition will not operate.if someone were somewhere in the country along way from civilization, what would one do?this is why i am complaining,and why this is a safety issue.the price for replacement is also outrageous.
Airbags failed to deploy upon impact of collision.
Paint is peeling on the roof and trunk of the car.
"takata recall"i was coming to a stop for a traffic light and did not brake in time to stop my vehicle before i tapped into the rear bumper of an suv.i was going very slow /probably under 10mph. My drivers side airbag deployed and i got cuts on my arm and a chemical burn as well. My drivers side seatbelt is not working now (locked.) i have slight damage on the right front passenger side bumper. I becameaware of the takata airbag recall after this happened.this occurred on 2/20/2017 in the daytime/ clear, sunny skies.
Takata recall. I took my honda to lester raines honda in wv for the air bag recall and they said they fixed it. Two days ago my daughter hydroplaned on a two lane highway art 10 near hearts wv let off the gas, tried to brake but lost all controland hit a guard rail head on and the air bags did not deploy. The car is totaled and currently at robbies wrecker service tow yard at branchland wv
I was driving home from work on a monday night, i had my phone in the front seat with me and i had heard it go off a few moments earlier. I looked over quickly at the phone to see who it was,i quickly looked back at the road, i was not able to stop quick enough and i hit the young lady in from of me. I was going about 40 mph when i hit her and there is substantial damage to my car. What really puzzled me was that my airbag did not deploy, even with an impact as big as this one. I have sustained a few injuries because of the lack of air bag.
My wife was traveling on the highway when she lost control and the car did a 180. She came to rest against a cement barrier and the drivers side curtain airbag was deployed but did not inflate. I contacted american honda care and wilde honda in madison wi. 4 times and they refused to inspect the car or acknowledge any damages or fault.
Accelerator jammed in cement garage causing car to hit the wall of the garage at very high speed and severely damaging the front of the car (essentially totaling the car).
Door lock remote fails to open locks.if i'm inside the car, sometimes the driver's door lock will be jammed down, and key will not open from outside.nothing worked, i had to crawl over the console and exit by the passenger door.definitely a safety issue, since it could happen in an emergency.
Paint started peeling in the roof. Car color is black, so the peeling looks visible.
Paint and clear coat chipping away putting toxic paint in the air.
My 2005 honda accord began leaking water inside the cabin following a rainstorm.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. Upon starting the vehicle, all the windows failed to operate while pressing the power window switch. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to clawson honda of fresno (6346 n blackstone ave, fresno, ca 93710 (559) 435-5000) where it was diagnosed that an unknown module needed replacement. The dealer informed the contact of a recall, but no open recalls were found. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact received a postcard from tk holdings, alerting her that they filed for bankruptcy. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
As i was coming to a complete stop, parking, the car sped up involuntarily.i kept pressing on the brakes, but it did not make any difference until the car was stopped by hitting a building.i was told that the dealer inspected the brakes while the car was at the body shop, and did not find anything wrong with them.the car was repaired, and i continued driving it.the involuntary acceleration occurred several times again, but i did not think anything of it because i was not coming to a complete stop, and it adjusted its speed again. Until...i had another accident eight years later due to none other than involuntary acceleration.see a separate complaint.
The passenger side door handle cable has a small plastic anchorthat anchors the cable to to the inside of the door panel. The plastic piece was severed into two pieces by the metal grip that holds it in place. The end resullt is the passenger door can not be opened from the inside. If something was to happen and i needed to esacpe the vehicle from the passenger side, i would not have access to do so.i believe the plastic anchor breaking is a defect caused by inherently bad design of a plastic item locking into a metal item.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While the vehicle was parked in the driveway, the contact discovered that the gear shifter button had fractured and separated from the gear shifter knob. Upon inspection, the contact noticed broken plastic fragments coming out of the knob where the button had detached.

The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The dealer was not notified. The manufacturer was notified and provided case number: 09857723. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000.
Paint has deteriorated all over the vehicle.there are 'bald spots' where the metal is exposed.we have seen many other hondas in this area with the same problem.honda has not responded to our request for information and/or assistance.
I was driving home, i fell asleep at the wheel approaching a stop light. I hit the corner of the vehicle in front of me and my front left and kinda in the middle (hood area) was smashed in almost to my windshield. None of my airbags deployed & i hit my face on the steeling wheel causing my teeth to go through my bottom lip & broke my nose. Insurance claimed it as a total loss.
The clear coat started falling off my 05 honda accord at around 105000 miles (around november of 2012). Honda refused to repaint the vehicle blaming the issue on the owner's poor care. However, it is clear the problem is not with the owner, but rather with the paint honda uses. This is evidenced by the class action lawsuit in which honda extended the paint warranty for seven years on their odysseys for darker colors including "midnight pearl." it happens that this is the same color which is currently "melting" off my 05 accord. Honda should not be making owners pay thousands of dollars to repaint their vehicles after owning them for only a few years before experiencing problems.
The paint is peeling on both the roof and the trunk, and it is getting worse as time passes.
This is the second time that this vehicle causes an accident due to involuntary acceleration defect.i was coming to a complete stop to park the car when all of a sudden it accelerated on its own and sped into a building.first it hit an iron bench pushing it into the wall.the car missed hitting a young mother and her four little kids by mere seconds.my insurance company sent one of their own adjusters to inspect the damages, and determined that the car should be repaired. In the meantime the people at the body shop where the car was towed to kept telling me that the car was not safe to be put on the road again.i pleaded with my insurer to have it totaled as i was too afraid to drive it again after two accidents, and my conscience did not allow me to sell the car after the repairs putting somebody else in same kind of danger.i also called honda, but their reply was that honda was not going to do anything about it.honda folks were even annoyed that i called them saying that my insurer was the one to contact them through the proper channels.finally my insurance agreed to total the car.however, i saw that the car was sold to an auction dealer listing it as "salvage title/rebuildable."the car is for sale again stating that it will cost $4,872.00 to fix it.my insurance company increased my premiums considerably considering me the party at fault.i ask nhtsa to act quickly to stop this unsafe and unfair practice.....updated 08/20/15 updated 9/30/2015
I purchased my honda accord ex with 7 miles on it, and noticed over a year, possibly longer, that the paint was peeling. When i asked the dealership about it they stated it was because of epa laws making the paints less effective. I also spent the extra money to have the car simonized to ensure the paint which was a waste of money.
Got into a crash. Left front driver side damage. Not drivable.. Airbags did not go off..
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.

Clear coat peeling off/paint cracking and looks like a creeping cancer on the hood, roof and trunk in particular on my burgundy colored vehicle and i see similar models with the exact same problem all over my town.the painting process used was obviously defective.
Paint on the driver side door has significant peeling and is losing its clear coat around the peeling.
The inside door handle of my honda accord coupe 2005 stopped working all of a sudden. A passenger riding with me discovered that they could not exit the car because the inside door handle failed to open the door. This was a one time occurrence and the door handle never worked again after that point. The problem was the cable from the interior door handle to the exterior door handle has a defective plastic insert where it attaches to the door panel. Failure of this piece results in the passengers of the vehicle not being able to open the door from the inside. This creates a potential safety hazard in the event of an accident or roll-over. The cable holding the plastic insert had to be ordered and replaced after taking off the door panel.
Exiting vehicle: chrome drivers-side door inside handle has flaked, causing sharp chrome to stick up from the plastic underneath. Applying your hand to door handle can cut, not unlike straight-edge razor, and may require medical assistance (stitches) if deep and long enough.

While driving in the middle of a heat wave, the air conditioning in my 2005 honda accord hybrid had stopped blowing cold air. I had only had my car for three months, so i was confused at why my air conditioning had gone out. I took the car to a mechanic who told me that a rock had hit and damaged the ac condenser, causing the freon gas to leak from the condenser. He said that the condenser is located in front of the radiator and because of its location is will always be exposed to debris while driving. The condenser can be seen through the large holes of the vent at the front of the car. The mechanic gave me a $750 estimate for the part and labor. Since the car is a newer model, there are not old parts available. He also informed me that because the car was not designed to protect the condenser, that it is very likely that the part will be damaged again and again. This part is not covered by the warranty and i cannot afford to pay $750 every time this occurs.

When i first purchased my honda, it was brought back to the dealer several times for a "shaking" at certain speeds.this was dismissed over and over and blamed on tire air pressure and alignment.i knew this could not be the cause and found other honda drivers complaining about the same issue.recently, the passenger side tire came disengaged while driving the vehicle causing the car to crash down on the rotor.the vehicle was at a dealership recently for a repair, i believe this issue has been over looked by honda and could have caused severe injury to myself or other drivers.it appears the shaking directly caused this issue with the vehicle.
Got into a crash. Left front driver side damage. Not drivable.. Airbags did not go off..
I was driving down through someones yard and its like my vehicle made a grinding sound and a malfunction light illuminated an exclamation point in a triangle. I almost got stuck and i was horrified at the sound. Later on i started noticing it was harder to control thw vehicle at higher speeds on the road. Especially after it rained i would leave my yard and would almost be trapped in my yard. Very eerie grinding sound with 3 malfunction lights on: abs, traction control, and brake lamp illuminated.
Owner:i hit a dip with this accord 3.0 with vtec engine was driving down street when car made funny noise and the steering got hard to turn. Pulled over and found power steering was leaking. Drove it to shop ordered hose then dropped hose with fluid at repair shop. Technician: power steering hose broke hard and old leaking fluid everywhere causing cerpintine belt come off. The hardened power steering hose broke due to fact that breaking of 2 passenger side motor mount to bracket bolts in bracket causing engine to raise during acceleration and pulling on hoses. Car drove in ok. After replacing bracket and hose noticed water leaking from behind timing belt and removed top cover. Found water pump leaking weep hole and found idler pulley and bolt came loose and fell off.(idler pulley has a special bolt with washer end that if dont wiggle the pully while tightening can tighten pulley tweaked and not complete also use loctite) also found the harmonic balancer bolt to be over torqued making it near impossible to remove without special octagon holding tool. Of course customer doesn't understand how so many things are wrong when all he saw was broken power steering hose.(which when fluid leaks can also catch car on fire) now we suggested replacement of water pump and timing kit but customer wants vehicle immediately and feels we created these other problems on purpose which left me no choice but to do labor for free just to prove im not! the lift of engine and fluid leak caused several bushings to come apart. He must have hit dip hard.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds and hitting bumps, the vehicle bounced.the dealer determined the vehicle performed as designed.also, to defog the windshield the heater has to be on.the dealer indicated the defogger performed as designed.the contact further stated while driving various speeds in wet weather, the vehicle stalled without warning.the vehicle was maneuvered off the road and restarted.it was driven to the dealer who could not duplicate the problem.
Honda accord has been ignoring the crack in the lower compliance bushing which causes the oil to leak sets up large amount of repair cost. They have to recall to fix this bushing for unwanted repair.
Compliance bushings failed. The only car manufacturer that has a continuing problemwith this is honda. However they refuse to issue a recall notice on this.
I was traveling southbound i75 in third lane oftraffic from right hand emergency strip. The front of the vehicle began to shake. At which point i heard a loud boom from the left front portion of the vehicle, as if the tire gave out. I made my way as close to the shoulder as i could. I saw that the left front tire was dismantled from the car and completely turned backwards. After having car towed to repair shop and fixed they gave me the lower ball joint which was broke in two pieces and said that it failed and caused all the damage.

Sporadic clunking right front, dealer evaluation resulted in strut replacement.noise continues, but less often.
I were driving on freeway 405 near ucla at 55mph.there wasa completed flat tire on my left front wheel of honda accord 2005.i felt the flat tire and see the abs light on my dash board turned on.after complete flat tire, the tire debris rip off my abs sensor wire for the left front wheel.my rim has no damage.since my tire is only a few months old, so i get free replacement from costco.i think the honda has a bad design on the abs sensor wire to my left front wheel.the abs sensor wire is not properly covered.the flat tire debris ripped off the abs sensor wire.contact honda customer service about this. They said it is not their issue.i think a properly design car should not have anything rip off when a complete flat tire happened.honda should have covered the abs wire more effectively.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord.while driving approximately 65 mph, the contact drove over something in the road and the tire blew out.aaa was called to replace the tire; however, there was no spare tire in the vehicle.the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and then to a tire repair shop.the dealer stated that her model year was the only year that did not have a spare supplied in the vehicle.the manufacturer offered no assistance in replacing the tire.the current mileage was approximately 71,600 and failure mileage was approximately 71,550.
Dt:the manufacture did not include a spare tire in the vehicle.instead they included a can of sealant in place of the spare.the owner's manual stated that the sealant may not work if the puncture was located outside the tread, the puncture was wider than about 3/16 of an inch, if the wheel rim was damaged, or if the tire sealant has expired.also, owner's manual on page 230indicated that if the consumer used the sealant it may make the tire warranty invalidthe consumer was concerned because he felt that this was an inadequate way of repairing the tire. The consumer has not had the problem as of yet.the consumer contacted the manufacturer to try to get them to purchase a spare tire, and they would not.this was on 8-12-05, case number n032005081200173.the vehiclewas a hybrid electric that ran on gasoline or electricity.
Started having trouble getting key in lock approx. 3/1/15. Progressed to not being able to get key in door at all around 5/1/15. Serviced at honda dealership on 5/7/15 with lock cylinder and arranged tumblers for original key. Worked okay until 6/20/15. At this time i inserted my key, but key would not turn to unlock my door. Entered the passenger door and tried to unlock door manually by pulling up door lock - would not budge. After i crawled across the center console i giggled door a few times and was able to pull up door lock. Drove home and tried opening door with key and it worked fine. Today, 6/22/15 when i returned home from the store i parked in my driveway and locked the door. When i realized that i had locked it i tried to unlock it with the key. Again, the key would go in, but it would not turn to unlock the door. Called honda dealership and was told that it sounded like the actuator. I know have an appointment to have my car serviced for this problem.it is my understanding after going on line that this is a long standing problem that honda has been aware of, but obviously was unwilling to recall and fix. I believe there was a class action suit filled, however i was unaware of it and my 2005 was not included in this suit. Since this is still an ongoing problem it is long past time for honda to accept responsibility for replacing these actuators at their expense not mine.

The navigation system on my 2005 accord sedan is not working. The screen displays "check your disk" but it also affects the a/c-heater fan control, radio preset stations, clock settings, steering wheel controls. This to me is a manufacturer defect and should be recalled. Many people are having the same or similar issue. My main concern is the lack of not being able to adjust the fan on either a/c or heater, it seems to all be connected to the navigation system. Please help! this needs to be looked at as a safety recall, in case of foggy window i will not be able to increase the fan control. How do i know you took my concern in consideration?once again, please help!
Ac condenser prone to damage.with the placement of the condenser, it is easily damaged by flying objects hitting it during the drive.i went to the dealer to drop off my car earlier today to check on the ac problem and the first thing the service advisor did was look at the condenser and show me the many dents and marks.he said likely, it was hit by a little pebble while driving on the freeway and that it is a very common for the condenser to be damaged small flying objects.i only have had the car for 1.5 years.i did a quick check online and someone else also had the same problem and she only had the car for less than 3 months.
My 2005 honda accord ex has three features that compromise my safety:1. The right-hand corner of the sun visor, when in its fullest position (not at an angle), obscures nearly half of the rearview mirror. This has caused a number of "near accident" events.2. The honda is designed to downshift when going downhill. Not only does this diminish gas efficiency, but can cause skids in icy weather.3. The brakes are extremely sensitive.i have spoken to two area honda service centers and a service representative at honda headquarter. The area managers say that "they're all like that; there's nothing we can do," and the honda headquarters rep says the same. She even went so far as to recommend i get the lower half of my windshield tinted to prevent sun glare! what about night driving?i can't believe that solutions to this problem cannot be found. Can you help in any way?
Windows wont come down, its a electric problem, certain lights in the car nwould go on and off example tale light. Tire problems, and other stuff
One day as i was driving at night, i happen to use my high beams. Once turning them on, it shut my engine off while in motion. There were no prior services done to my my car that would make me think it could be malfunctioning due to a mechanic's error. I also tried turning my high beams on with the engine running and in park. It still shut my engine off. Every mechanic i asked for a diagnostic, they were blown and responded with never hearing of this problem. I replaced the old alternator with a new one and it still does the same thing. Since the purchase of my car, the only parts i replaced was and o-ring for the power steering, brake calibers and rotors and recently the alternator. I completely stopped driving it to prevent any further damage or possible accidents.
Air bag red icon kept coming on on dash and have been trying to get this fixed for over a year.don't understand why honda does not consider long island, ny, a humid territory.honda needs to visit long island to see how humid it is.this car must be used for a road test next week and i must now pay out of pocket to get the icon off permanently and the problem fixed, as well as have the air bags replaced to ensure they are good.i would like to get reimbursed.thank you.
During the cooler season, while parked the brake vacuum system lose the brake vacuum.so when you get in and press on the brake pedal it is hard since there is no more vacuum in the brake booster.this is dangerous if you are parked on a hill with vehicles around you.you could end up hitting another vehicle.i am concerned that the brake vacuum system could fail while driving making braking ineffective.
While driving on a highway, gear shifting knob popped out.it was broken in multiple pieces.with out the knob, you cannot shift the gear.although, you can turn of the engine, you cannot remove the key until the gear is shift to "parking". Without the knob, gear cannot be shifted.

Dt: the contact stated after purchasing the vehicle he began to notice cracks in the steering wheel above the air bags. He contacted honda and spoke with a representative. The representative had someone else to call him back.the representative told him that this problem was hisfault because of the way he was pressing the horn. Both times the airbag were replaced by the dealership under warranty.he went to a body shop and saw two other vehicles with the same problem ,and they told him if the air bag deployed then it could cause injury to him.updated 12/27/05.
Severely malfunctioning pollution control system or engine failure that emits burning oil and toxic smoke. This vehicle wa plate awj1933 was emitting burning oil and nitrous oxide components that were visible to the human eye. This vehicle was at the intersection of 112th ave/gher rd and sr500. It was idling and polluting cancerous clouds. It seems there is no online reporting form for vehicle air pollution in wa state, but there is one in oregon.
I was driving down the street and the clutch brackt broke. It did not effect the clutch right away but over the next 3 days the clutch started twisting toward the left and then stopped working all together.
Clear coat paint is peeling off around the edges of the entire car.
My car is not equipped with stability control, but it does have traction control, which can be disabled by a switch on the left end of the dashboard. The traction control seems to work well at speeds above 30 mph, but when starting out, if the car hits a slippery patch, instead of pulsing the brakes to keep the wheels from spinning, as the chrysler lhs i owned previously did, it simply gives up, cutting most of the engine power, leaving the car unable to go more than 2 or 3 mph. This is extremely dangerous when crossing intersections with stop signs and can even create a hazard when the intersection is controlled by a stop light. It can be avoided by disabling the traction control system before hand, but the disable button won't work if unless the car is at a complete stop, creating a panic situation if the system kicks in unexpectedly. No car should be allowed on the road with a system like this, but my understanding is that a number of other makes exhibit the same behavior, possibly due to a common vendor. There are traffic deaths due to improperly timed intersection crossings every day, and given the behavior of systems like this, i find it hard to believe that no deaths have resulted from it. I've been lucky enough to recognize the system's bad behavior and disable it more often than i would have to disable a properly designed system; the average driver should not be faced with such a burden. Please take action against all of the companies that allowed a system like this to get onto our roads. Please note that i listed the "date of incident" as the first occurrence i recall, because a date was required, but this has been happening, and i have been taking precautions to avoid it, from the time i got the car in 2006 up to now. Thank you.

Takata airbag recall
Initially only the drivers door and right rear passenger door would lock or unlock, whether inside the car, using the key, or using the key fob. Beginning yesterday, all the door locks will neither lock nor unlock using any of the previously mentinoed methods, the lights at the bottom of the door will not turn off, and the dash symbol showing all doors ajar stays on constantly. I initally assumed it was the door actuators but after researching the problem, it seems to point towards an issue regarding three relays which are soldered on what's called a multiplex control unit located under the dash on the left. Safety issue is i can't lock or unlock the doors.
The car has severe vibration while accelerating between 55 and 60 mph.there is no issue at slower speeds, there is not issue when driving over 60 mph.
I was leaving a store on hull st. And my car was at about 40 mph and all of a sudden stopped moving and i felt that it was something bad so i cut the car off and restarted my car and it started up nicely once i switched gears from park to reverse the car didn't move. So i went to put car into park and there was a really loud noise which scared me crazy. I cut the car back off and it began to roll backwards in the park gear so i had to put the car emergency break on to keep in place. Monday morning which i'd today i get my car towed to aamco and they diagnostic my car as a shaft failure which had broken which caused the car to make the loud noise when placed in the park gear and the car doesn't realize which gear it's in because it is broken inside the transmission
Honda 2005 accord ex:my power windows will not always function.window will notgo down when switch is pressed.if it is down, it will not come up.neither direction works correctly.this has been happening for almost 5 months.this week the window went down while i was driving but had not pressed the switch.our honda fit 2007 just received a recall notice for this exact issue.is there also a problem with honda accord 2005?
Did not receive recall notice from honda . My current address on file! insurance company notified me of recall.
Vehicle purchased 8/1/2006, passed safety inspection by honda dealer. Beginning on 9/1/2006 air conditioner returned no cold air. Honda dealer claims a rock impact caused a hole in the air conditioning condenser, leading to a leaking of refrigerant and loss of cooling function. I believe this is a design flaw, as the problem is well-documented by many consumers. Honda refused to cover the repair under warranty, instead charging the consumer $750.
I was turning into a parking space with my foot on the brake when my engine accelerated fast and the brakes could not stop it. I crashed over a concrete thing and crashed into another car, causing major damage.
After getting the honda accord steering hose replaced due to overheating, i begin to hear noises and have steering issues. I took my car to the dealership and was told that i need to replace the rack and pion steering and the power steering pump. I believe that due to the power steering hose was the cause to additional problems to the steering.
The air conditioning on my 2005 honda accord hybrid failed while on a new year holiday visit to arizona.when i took it to my local dealer for repair under warranty, they told me that it is due to damage from road debris making a hole in the condenser, and that it would cost me $875 to repair.this would seem to be a design fault, putting something so apparently fragile at the front of a car, behind an opening 28 1/2 inches by 5 with only one horizontal bar under 1/4 inch wide and 3 verticals less than 1/8 inch wide.for a few dollars, they could protect it with a mesh grill and save what internet research seems to show happening to more than a few people on several honda models.
I have a honda 2005 accord, just took it in to the dealer earlier this morning, and the service advisor looked at the condenser right away and shown me the "dent", probably from a pebble. And that he said it is a very common on the honda accord. I definitely believe that this a design flaw if there are so many incidents on this. The warranty does not cover road debris.. They are going to give me a call and give me a price estimate for the repair.
While driving vehicle transmission abruptly went into a down shift causing the vehicle to slow down while traveling at a high speed. Recall # r89
On several occasions my 05 accord coupe will stay accelerated when brakes are pressed, in neutral,or releasing the accelerater. On several occasions i have pressed the brake only to not slow down. Thankfully i was on open highway. This has happened and continues to happen on city streets and highways. At low speeds and high.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord lx. The contact stated as she was driving 2 mph into a parking space the vehicle suddenly accelerated through a fence and into a tree.no one was injured. The police were not notified. The vehicle was driven from the scene to an auto body shop to be repaired. After the vehicle was repaired the vehicle was taken to the dealer at least four different times and they could not duplicate the failure. Letters were written to the honda manufacturer and no response was received. The failure mileage was 44,000.updated 4/12/10 updated 05/12/10.
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.
I brought the car in april while driving home from the dealer i noticed that when applying the brake (slowly) before coming into a complete stop the brake pedal would lock up, release and then come to a complete stop slow acceleration i wasn't able to pick up speed once it did the check engine light would come on code p0122 throttle pedal position sensor.
I was at the wheel of my 2005 honda accord, slowly easing it in to a parking spot in a public parking garage when the car suddenly lurched forward, hitting the concrete wall.i put my foot firmly on the brake, put the car into reverse and attempted to back the car up a few inches to see what damage had been done.when i lifted my foot from the brake, the car suddenly and uncontrollably accelerated backwards at a rapid rate of speed and crashed into a concrete wall about 30 feet behind the spot.the left rear of the car was crushed inward about two feet, substantial damage was done to the entire rear, the side airbag deployed, and i sustained a number of injuries which have prevented me from returning to work three weeks after the event.my insurance company, state farm, totaled the car and is retaining it for investigation.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the vehicle independentlydecelerated and when she depressed the accelerator pedal the vehicle would not accelerate . The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnostic. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 55,500. Updated 06/10/14 mathe consumer stated she paid for a re-built transmission and torque converter.updated 07/23/14
I previously drove my aunt's 2005 honda accord hybrid on several occasions.almost as soon as the vehicle was purchased, on more than one occasion, the brakes failed and caused accidents.the accelerator would also accelerate on its own.the car would simply speed up on its own.the car would also at times stop or turn off on its own.i assumed because the car was a hybrid or different that it was normal.at times when accidents would occur, i couldn't believe what had happened.the car literally drove away.a few times others drove the car and mentioned the same.my aunt previously tried trading in thevehicle, but it was too expensive to trade in.on january 11,2011.a fatal accident occurred while driving this vehicle.my mother, whom is a precautious driver was driving my cousin to school and were involved in a fatal car accident.the honda struck a school bus right in the middle.i believe the car like on many other occasions accelerated on its own or the brakes failed.i feel devastated that i have lost my mother and cousin because of this accident, but feel that my mother was not at fault.she was always a safe driver and in this case i believe the vehicle was at fault.

Was driving on highway in traffic and car would not shift gears, car was jumping forward and would not accelerate as traffic sped up.was able to get car off the highway, but got stuck at a red light, when attempting to accelerate forward, car went backwards.
I have a 2005 honda accord dx. I was driving the car on the highway at 55 mph and the car suddenly accelerated for 5 - 10 seconds to almost 95 mph. I tried hitting the brakes and would not work....eventually the brakes worked. This is the second time happening and when i had the car checked they said nothing was wrong.
Similar issue as report 10659813. The airbag/seatbelt light above the gas gauge randomly stays lit. Doesn't happen each time the vehicle is used, and occurs more in cold weather than warm. Dealer has been notified several times and each time states that they could not do anything unless we brought the vehicle to them while the light was on. This situation does not happen consistently enough to allow us to take it to a dealer when the light is on. Also speed control does not work!
Engine stalled multiple times while driving (at various speeds) and almost caused crash.vehicle sometimes will not start, idles erratically while running or while driving, or stalls without warning while driving.apparently there is a recall for this issue on other 2005 honda accords however when i look up my vehicle's vin, there is no recall.i called honda and they too said there is no coverage for this repair as my vehicle is not included in the recall.
I was driving on interstate 20/59 near ft. Payne, alabama with the cruise control set on 75 mph.i changed lanes to pass a slower car but did not touch the gas pedal.the car started to accelerate on its own.i tapped the breaks to turn cruise control off but the car continued to accelerate without touching the gas pedal.the acceleration was not a full throttle acceleration, just a moderate increase.i then shifted the car from drive to neutral and the rpm's jumped up to redline, again without touching the gas pedal.luckily, a rest area was approaching and i managed to pull the car into the rest area parking lot playing with the drive/neutral of the transmission and using the brakes.once i made it to a parking space i turned the car off and shifted it into park.i waited a few seconds and turned the car back on.the rpm's again jumped up to redline without me touching the gas pedal.i shut the car off again and put my foot underneath the gas pedal and pulled up.i cranked the car again and it acted normal.i checked under the hood and everything looked fine.after some deliberation, we decided to continue on our trip and the car was fine for the next 4.5 hours.we drove back sunday, may 19 and the car again drove fine for 6.5 hours and hasn't had a problem since.the morning before the incident, i changed the alternator and oil.i strongly believe that this had nothing to do with the alternator or oil change.also, i doubled checked the carpet mat in the car and it was not even close to the gas pedal.i am not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem with a honda accord.i am a mechanical engineer and i am dumbfounded by this.being in a car with uncontrollable acceleration is quite unnerving.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord.while driving 20 mph, the vehicle accelerated automatically and the brakes failed.the contact had to drive off the road and crashed the vehicle into a small tree.there were no injuries.a police report was filed.the vehicle was taken to an auto body shop for repairs and to have the brakes inspected.he discovered online that other vehicles were experiencing the same issue.the contact feels that honda is at fault and are not doing anything to correct the issue.the current mileage was 32,000 and failure mileage was 31,349.
I have an 05 honda accord coupe.neither window will roll down, had the relay switch replaced but 6 months later back to the same problem.radio would go on and off, even when car was off.now the radio will not come on at all unless i unplug/plug the battery, then the result is only temporary.now the cruise control button will not work.if i push it down the green indicator light comes on but the button will not stay engaged.i've seen so many of the same complaints i was sure there was a recall i missed but there isn't??!!
I was driving on the highway. The cruise control button was on but i was not using the cruise control. Haven't used it in a couple weeks but the button was showing on the dash.i took my foot of the gas petal to slow down and the car began accelerating. First i tried to apply the brake and that slowed the car down considerable but i i could tel it was still trying to accelerate and i didn't want to wear out the brakes and have no way of stopping so i took my foot off the brake and tried jiggling the gas with my foot thinking it was stuck or blocked and it wasn't. It felt like how the gas pedal feels when it's in cruise control just kind of jiggling as you press it. So i turned the cruise control button off did and it was still accelerating so i put th car in neutral it revved up to a very high rpm can't remember exactly what but it sounds like it was full throttle did that for about 2-3 seconds while i braked and slowed the car down then it stopped revving and after i stopped for s couple minutes i drove again and it was fine the rest of the day. I was going about 65 when it got stuck andit got up to high 70s before i applied the brake and got it down to 60 then it began accelerating again and got up to like 70 before i put it in neutral.if someone else was driving and didn't think to put the car in neutral it could have been much more serious.
Dt*:the contact stated upon purchase of the vehicle the check engine light, the traction control light and the tcs light illuminated on the dashboard.also, while attempting to put the vehicle in park, the drive and park lights illuminated.upon inspection the dealership determined the sensor needed to be replaced.four days later while pulling into the driveway the vehicle accelerated without warning and crashed through a fence and into a boulder.although seat belts were worn and the air bags deployed, the driver and passenger sustained injuries.the vehicle was totaled.there was property damage and a police report was filed.
The contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 3 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently.

I have contacted both the manufacturer and the dealership and both say that the cold rpm setting on my car is within specifications and cannot be adjusted.

On saturday at 11:50 pm, i was cruising at the 169th & maple rd, omaha, ne parking lot.. At a front parking junction, i made a right turn at about 2-3 mph speed. I slowed and braked for a pedestrian walking across my path. My car started revving and accelerating rapidly. I immediately pressed the brake pedals harder. The harder i pressed, the harder the acceleration became. I became very concerned and scared that the car might accelerate suddenly and may cause a terrible accident. I quickly move the gear hand pedal shifters foward to (p)ark. The car jerked forward a bit and then stood still; however, the engine started revving with a loud din and then back to normal.i started to slowly movethe gear back into (d)rive mode. The car behaved normally and i parked my car in a available parking slot. Prior to this incident, i had a minor incident similar to this. This was a about 2 weeks back. I was slowed and stopped at a traffic light to make a right turn to maple. While in stop mode pressing the brake, the car started jerking and accelerating forward slowly. I quickly pressed the brake harder and it jerked forward and stopped. At that point, i just shrugged it off, thinking that was unusual but wasn't really bad to take issue. All this happened when i changed my accord hybrid battery and a hybrid controller over a month back when i had a hybrid battery and the controller that needed to be replace on account of a safety issue with the car. The car felt ok after the change. However, i had the car since 2005 and never did i encounter a sudden acceleration on this car, not once until after the battery and controller change. I can only relate now to what actually has happened and is very concerned for my life and my family to whoever drives the vehicle.

We live in houston, texas area.one recent weekend, my wife and i were in my 2005 honda accord driving on an unoccupied road (light weekend traffic and no one within 1000 yards).my wife and i heard a huge explosion.we were in motion at the time and had no idea what happened to the car, but we knew it was powerful.immediately following the explosion, we heard a rush of air and when opening the sunroof cover (moved backwards), we were rained with broken glass particles (anywhere from 1mm to 1inch).the sunroof had exploded and the pieces were very dangerous.thank goodness for the cover that caught most of debris.had we had that open, it'd have been a catastrophic result.we do not feel anything contacted the roof and can only surmise that either a major pressure change occurred, a significant temp change occurred, or a structural change caused the sunroof to explode.the vehicle has not been in any significant accidents and is in excellent shape.the sunroof was functional prior to this incident, but used very little.i had to order another sunroof and cut myself seriously while trying to install this unit.

Takata recall -i am the owner of a beautiful 2005 honda accord ex.i am the original and only owner of my car. My car has this issue where it is burning excessive oil and engine siezes. (i mean really bad). I would get an oil change today and car would be out of oil within 2weeks...i've spent over 3000k dollars on trying to figure what the problem was and no mechanic could figure it out. I finally went to a special mechanic who finally did some research and figured out that this was a known issue by honda and have not yet done a recall for the issue. Apparently based on articles from the honda/braman and takata sites (www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord that after 80k miles the engine burns excessive oil in the engine. My car takes "full synthetic" so its gotten to be really expensive to own this car. To mention,the car has no leaks, all parts are in working order. I called and filed a complaint with the website since january 2017 and have not heard anything back. I would like to get this issue fixed and put my car back to normal. This issue is affecting other areas of the car like the radio, the back lights. I have to check and put oil in the car every couple days so that my engine doesnt seize.

Up until the day it broke, the window would get stuck and not roll back-up. This happened many times until it broke. The issue, in my opinion, didn't appear to be because of any weather. The car was never in an accident, nor was the passenger window ever tampered with or vandalized.

Loss of lights on controls for heating, defrost and all other climate controls.over a period of several weeks, i had an intermittent loss of backlight to the climate controls for my car.this presents a hazard during nighttime driving as the dome lights must be switched on and it takes longer to find the appropriate control for defrost for the windshield.this is also related to the backlight on the radio, which was a known problem with honda accords for a very long time.the lights would go out, then come back on again when i went over a bump or turned the headlights on or off (indicating an electrical instead of bulb problem).the loss of function increased gradually in terms of number of outages, length and duration.the car was taken in after two near accidents due to trying to turn on the defroster while driving.despite a known problem with prior year accords in the exact same system, for which honda has issued recalls, i did have to pay for the repair.

I purchased my 2005 honda accord lx with the knowledge of the back right window not working. Within 6 months of owning this car, the passenger front window and both of the back windows just stopped working at all. I have tried using the front main switch as well as the individual switches to unroll them and all that happens is a click every time i try to unroll each one. My passenger window is stuck half way down with no way to roll it up. The only window that works is the drivers side front window now.i have confirmed that the child safety lock is unlocked each time i try to unroll each of them. Is there a recall on this kind of default?

My 2005 honda accord ex has three features that compromise my safety:1. The right-hand corner of the sun visor, when in its fullest position (not at an angle), obscures nearly half of the rearview mirror. This has caused a number of "near accident" events.2. The honda is designed to downshift when going downhill. Not only does this diminish gas efficiency, but can cause skids in icy weather.3. The brakes are extremely sensitive.i have spoken to two area honda service centers and a service representative at honda headquarter. The area managers say that "they're all like that; there's nothing we can do," and the honda headquarters rep says the same. She even went so far as to recommend i get the lower half of my windshield tinted to prevent sun glare! what about night driving?i can't believe that solutions to this problem cannot be found. Can you help in any way?
