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.

problem #4

May 132013

Accord 6-cyl

  • 100,000 miles
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.

- Lunenburg, MA, USA

problem #3

Accord

  • 76,000 miles
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.

- Salida, CO, USA

problem #2

Sep 162011

Accord

  • 84,000 miles
The passenger side door handle cable has a small plastic anchor that 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.

- Houston, TX, USA

My 2005 Honda Accord began leaking water inside the cabin following a rainstorm.
