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

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the battery was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for a second opinion, where it was stated that the failure was due to an electrical problem in the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 114,000.

The back 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.

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.

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.

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 Accord, generally with the number 5 spark plug on the V6 models.

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.

- Salida, CO, USA

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, this vehicle is not part of the recall group and does not qualify for cost free remediation by Honda.

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.

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.

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??!!

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/hr), or $190, 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.

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.

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.

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.
