2004 Honda Accord other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I bought a used 04 v6 accord with 84,000 on it I bought it for $7500 that was in May/June 2021 he was going on and on about the air conditioner and the jbl radiothe About the time it started getting cold I noticed problems with it not wanting to go when put in drive unless it was warmed up enough didn't really think much about. in the colder months the next year it would start doing some jerking problem and then it started messing up like when you are slowing down for a red light but then it turns green and you give it the gas but it just wines like it was in neutral but it was still in drive so I would have to pull over to the side of the road coasting but once I got to a lower gear like first gear I could hear it and feel it go into gear and then when I gave it the gas it would go. Google found a 4.3 million recall on that 04 v6 tranny... mad people same problems they had transmissions replaced somewhere saying to change the transmission fluid every three months just with 3 quarts until the torque converter was flushed out and so on well I had just bought this vehicle pretty much put my savings into it. Apparently the recall was for shavings from the transmission getting in the linkage causing it to pop out of gear if not that bad it could be fixed but if it was bad transmission need replacing no recall on my car if it has same safety problem why no recall. my childhood friend told me it was a transmission it got so bad I had to park sitting 2yrs i have no one to work on it I don't have the funds to pay a garage my friend had a heart attack passed away some say shift solenoid, I know that seller knew there was a problem he spent $600 yea no revall for him he ripped me off but at such low miles there's got to be a reason for this barely used car to be such a safety hazard...my dad told me to write you guys what can it hurt he said the car has been sitting because I have no money to pay to get it fixed I live on SS. Feel free to call me please i miss my honda

WHILE DRIVING, I HEAR AND FEEL A LOUD THUMP, THE CAR BEGINS TO JERK, SLOWS DOWN, AND THREE DIFFERENT LIGHTS APPEAR ALL AT ONCE ON THE DASHBOARD. IT'S BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG. I AM AWARE THAT HONDA PASSED A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION ON THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF MY CAR, BUT MY CAR WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE RECALL, BECAUSE MY VIN # DIDN'T APPLY. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND ALL VIN #'S THAT SHARE THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AS I SHOULD BE AWARDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS RECALL OPTION AS WELL.

THE GEAR SHIFT RELEASE "BUTTON" DISLODGED FROM THE SHAFT SO YOU WERE UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO A GEAR- IT JUST FELL OUT, NEVER SEEMED LOOSE. WHEN I HAD THE PROBLEM CORRECTED I WAS TOLD BY HONDA THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY PREVELANT IN THE 2004 ACCORD (V-6) AND THAT THEY SELL MANY OF THESE GEAR SHIFT "BUTTONS" A WEEK! THAT TELLS ME THAT THERE IS A SYSTEM-WIDE PROBLEM WITH THIS ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION.

I PURCHASED MY USED 04 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 FROM MIDLANDS HONDA IN OCTOBER 2007 WITH APPROX. 35,000 MILES ON IT. NEVER HAD ANY REAL MECHANICAL ISSUES AND ALWAYS GOT IT SERVICED BY THE DEALER. LOW AND BEHOLD I RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION THAT GAVE ME NO WARNING. I APPEARED TO BE SLIPPING OR SOMETHING, SO I HAD IT SERVICED AND TO NO SURPRISE, IT IS NOT FIXED. THE SHOP HAS ADVISED THAT WITH ONLY 118,000 MILES THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. I RESEARCHED A PAST RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AFTER THIS HAPPENED AND FOUND THAT OTHER CONSUMERS HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR ACCORDS AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THAT HONDA HAS MISLED THEIR CONSUMERS AND THAT THEIR PRODUCTS ARE NOT LIVING UP TO THEIR MARKETING AND SUGGESTED QUALITY. I USED TO OWN 5 DIFFERENT NISSAN VEHICLES, BUT THE LAST PURCHASE WAS REPURCHASED BY THE DEALER AS A LEMON BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE WITH NUMEROUS ISSUES FROM SUDDEN STALLING TO ELECTRONIC ISSUES, BUT NO RECALLS B/C IT WAS TOO NEW. I LEFT NISSAN AND WELCOMED HONDA INTO MY FAMILY AT THAT TIME, BUT I FEEL THAT MY KIDS AND ARE NOT SAFE. I HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD HAVE LASTED AS LONG AS MY ENGINE, WHICH RECEIVED HER NEW TIMING BELT AT 100,000 MILES. I MAY BE SUBMITTING MY ISSUE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RESOLUTION, SINCE HONDA DID AND IS NOT REALLY TAKING RESPONSIBILITY IN THEIR MALFUNCTION. I JUST WANT OTHER HONDA OWNERS TO KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION STILL EXISTS AND PROBABLY WILL FOR YEARS TO COME. I GUESS AFTER THIS REPAIR IS DONE, I MAY SEEK TO INVESTIGATE TOYOTA OR EVEN AND AMERICAN MADE CAR. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IT IS COSTING ME TO REPIAR THIS USED CAR IS SENSELESS AND THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED A LONG TIME AGO. I PRAY THAT NO ONE GETS HURT OR WORSE FROM THIS PROBLEM. THANKFULLY MY CHILDREN AND I WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME OK.

ON DECEMBER 30, 2011 THE BACK-LIGHT ON MY RADIO STEREO AS WELL AS THE A/C PANEL WENT OUT. THIS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE 1. DURING STORMS OR BAD WEATHER, I CANNOT SEE WHAT STATION TO TURN THE RADIO FOR TORNADO WARNINGS OR WEATHER UPDATES. 2. TO ADJUST A/C OR HEATER SETTINGS, I MUST TAKE MY FOCUS OFF THE ROAD TO TURN ON THE OVERHEAD LIGHT AND ADJUST SETTINGS. 3. IN WEATHER CONDITIONS SUCH AS HIGH FOG OR WHERE YOU NEED TO USE A DEFROST, I MUST MUST TAKE MY FOCUS OFF THE ROAD TO TURN ON THE OVERHEAD LIGHT AND ADJUST SETTINGS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT COOLING. I TOOK THE AUTOMOBILE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT ROCKS HAD HIT THE CONDENSER AND DAMAGED. SUPPOSEDLY, IT WAS REPLACED BUT LESS THAN 7 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED (NO COOLING) AND ROCKS HAD AGAIN DAMAGED THE CONDENSER. FALL WAS COMING UP, SO THE A/C WAS NOT USED AGAIN UNTIL APRIL '06. I FEEL THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A DESIGN DEFECT THAT IS COSTLY AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL. THE LOWER FRONT GRILL BUMPER IS DESIGNED IN A SUCH A WAY THAT ANY ROAD DEBRIS CAN ENTER AND DAMAGE A FULLY EXPOSED AND UNPROTECTED A/C CONDENSER. THE DESIGN OF THE GRILL AND CONDENSER MATERIAL LEAVES IT VULNERABLE TO BE EASILY DAMAGED BY SMALL GRAVEL. THERE IS NO SCREEN OR DEFLECTOR IN PLACE FOR THE CONDENSER TO PROHIBIT ANY ROAD DEBRIS FROM DAMAGING THE CONDENSER: THEREFORE, THE CLEARING AND DEFOGGING OF THE INSIDE WINDOW IS DIFFICULT WITHOUT THE DEHUMIDIFIER EFFECT. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED ON THE VULNERABILITY OF DAMAGE TO THE A/C CONDENSER SYSTEM. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IF THIS PART IS INFERIOR AND/OR DEFECTIVE.

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TRIED TO TALK TO SOMEBODY ABOUT MY PROBLEMS BUT NOBODY WOULD PAY ATTENTION TO ME. NOBODY WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM . THE DEALERSHIP IS A FRAUD. I WANT TO CANCEL THE PROBLEM OF THIS CAR.

ON JULY 6TH, 2004, I TOOK POSSESSION OF OUR NEW 2004 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN WITH 132 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I SCHEDULED TO HAVE HONDA ACCESSORIES INSTALLED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON JULY 15TH-16TH, AND PICKED UP MY VEHICLE ON JULY 17TH.*AK UPON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE (369 MILES ON ODOMETER) THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT WOULD NOT RETRACT. THE SEATBELT WAS COMPLETELY PULLED OUT AND STILL WOULD NOT RETRACT. IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL HOURS, BUT THEY MANAGED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT WHICH HAD FAILED. THE REPLACEMENT UNIT RETRACTS VERY SLOWLY AND HAS TO BE MANUALLY MANEUVERED INTO PLACE. WILL NEED TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO THIS MAJOR SAFETY INCIDENT, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND NO LONGER READS THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE.
