I have a 2004 ex V-6 Accord coupe. I have had the vehicle in the shop numerous times. I had the car for 1 week it had 175 miles on it and the check engine light came on. All six pistons were misfiring. I have had the car in 3 times now for excessive noise on the drivers side window. The dealership fixed it once and told me that some noise is normal.. (my 76 Honda civic doesn't even make as much noise as this car does) the check engine light comes on and blinks and goes off has done this numerous times. Dealership resets it and says that it is ok. I have also had the car in 2 times because it won't start. Dealership says to turn key to first click to let the fuel injection lines fill with fuel. It doesn't work. I am taking it back to the dealership once again tomorrow because the trunk doesn't latch correctly.. what a dissappointment this car has been and its not even a year old.. I will never buy another Honda again. The quality has gone severely down hill.

2004 Honda Accord LX 4 cyl. Automatic 4 door 4533 miles ey will not come out of the iginition. This has happened four times. Each time I called the dealership to inform them of this event. I was told to bring it in, but they need to see the key not come out of the car to diagnose the problem. If it came out then bring it in the next time you have the problem. Each time I was successful with key removal after about 20 minutes of play. I would be able to turn the car off and on. I would drive around, come back park, play with key, giggle key up and down, side to side, and still not be able to get my key out. I made sure that I was in park, back up go forward, and park, pull up E-brake. I risked my car being stolen because I couldn't get the key out at 11:30pm on 12/5/2004. I put my jacket over my wheel to cover it up and locked the car with my spare key. I took it into the dealership, and after 24 hours of being stuck- it came out in the service drive. Honda has had 12 complaints up to date. No recall has been formatted, nor has there been a successful solution to fix this problem.

Could not start car on 2 occasions months apart. Originally thought steering wheel was locked hard against switch. This time switch easily turned but car seemed to have dead battery. Both times no further indication of battery problems.

My 2004 Honda Accord ex V6 occasionally has issues starting. My Honda only has 1600 miles on it. It acts as if it's flooded; everytime I've had to remove the key and try again. I had the same exact issue (along with many others) with my 2003 Honda Accord ex V6 -- so many that the dealer bought the vehicle back from me (before I could lemon law it) and put me in the 2004 -- because "Honda's are good cars".
