Takata recall air bags should be reinstalled in all vehicles of the year that was being recalled. I have a 2004 Honda Accord sedan and I find it applauding that responsibility isn't being accepted 100%. if one air bag is defected then they all should and could be, with that being said I urge them to honor the faulty equipment and fix it instead of 'playing with people's lives' and wait I to see if the worse happens when the air bags are supposed to be a safety item in case of a accident in which they will release.

2004 Accord transmission began leaking at the same time as ABS trouble, what seems to be suspension problems (bad springs?), hood struts failed. These all happened about a month after one dealer replaced an engine mount and leaking power steering fluid container. The trunk opening switch would not work but was too expensive to repair. I had the ABS looked at at another dealer and for $100 an "electrical switch" under the gas pedal was replaced. The power steering fluid was leaking again. They said that the transmission needed to be fixed for $2000 and that my car was not in the recall. I saw many complaints about transmission leaks online and about the gas door not opening. The dealer didn't want to hear about that. (engine mounts and hood struts are popular items on amazon.) I was lucky that my head wasn't under there when the hood fell. I had opened the hood to check the power steering fluid and went to the trunk to get some, when it fell. I was able to replace them from amazon. I had the engine cut out twice while driving in the rain after last inspection. I lost steering and saw the engine light come on so I quickly started the engine again. About a month apart. It didn't happen again. It seems strange to me that all of this happened within 6 months after an inspection.

Jan. 2015 traveling at 25 to 30 mph, driver front lower ball joint separated causing wheel to turn sideways in wheel well, which resulted in disabling vehicle, seperated cv shaft and fender damage. No injuries and had to have towed. May 2015 traveling 20 to 25 mph, passenger lower ball joint separated causing wheel to turn sideways in wheel well, resulted in disabling vehicle and damage to fender. Local police were called, no injuries and vehicle towed. July 2016 backing out of driveway, passenger front lower ball joint separated, causing wheel to turn sideways in wheel well, resulted in disabling vehicle, damage to fender, separated cv shaft, and dented the oil pan, no injuries. There is a fault in the design of the lower ball joint placement, the weight of the vehicle is naturally causing the ball to press against the retaining edge of the socket, resulting in metal on metal contact causing the retaining edge to wear resulting in separation of the ball joint. The only way to correct this would be to redesign the front suspension steering knuckle and lower control arm. The ball joint should be pressed into the socket with weight on the wheels not pulling it apart. My only suggestions until something is done about this, is go to a service garage and have them check the ball joints with a pry bar between the steering knuckle and lower control arm, if there is movement have it replaced and keep your receipts. Just shaking the wheel by hand isn't enough to see the movement. Do not pick the vehicle up by the lower control arm, it can result in control arm bushing separation.

Transmission has been accelerating very fast overheating, slipping, it appears the transmission fluid have been leaking however I took it in for service about a month ago and everything was fine. My dealership from February 13, 2012 September 28, 2012 commonwealth Honda has been claiming there is nothing wrong with this transmission the suspension or the timing belt. They performed service and all of them they claim everything is fine. Now less than 30 days later my transmission is broken. A vehicle with just got problems should not continue to be resold.

The contact took the car to the dealer, they recognized that there was a problem, but they could not diagnose it, they called the manufacturer, and were told that the pulsating vibration was normal.

Numerous sqeaks, rattles, and vibrations in door panels, tops of windows, rear shelf, and in B-pillars around top seat belt anchor. I've taken my car into the dealership 3 separate times to have these fixed. They are able to make them go away for about a day, but then they all come back. The last time I took my car in, they said they have done everything they can and that these were "normal" sounds that the car makes. I have never had a car with so many rattles and squeaks. Poor build quality and construction. They all started about 4 days after I picked up the car and had about 300 miles on the odometer. Had problems ever since.

I took delivery of a 2004 Honda Accord ex with leather on June 25, 2004. Its been exactly a week. I have driven about 580 miles in a week. I have encountered the following problems and I did'nt see any recalls on the manufacturer's website. I am very disappointed after spending $24000 on a brand new car. 1) the check engine light came on and the 'd' light on driver side dashbaord is continually flashing. 2) I can hear some sliding noise from left to right and vice versa when making sharp turns (happens all the time). The sounds seems to be coming from under the glove compartment 3) after driving about 60 miles in one go in warm weather(temperatures in 80S), I hear a rubbing/squeaking noise when making turns. Becomes more audible when windows are rolled down. Sounds more like tires rubbing against the body. 4) passenger side floor is soaking wet and I assume it is water. I can hear water sloshing sound under the glove compartment when making turns.

Consumer stated that while driving the suspension felt funny. The front wheels wandered. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer seven times, and each time dealer could not duplicate the problem, and stated nothing was wrong. Finally a representative from the Honda was called and drove consumer's vehicle. The Honda representative indicated that there was something wrong with front suspension. There was at least a 10% difference between the consumer's vehicle and another of the same year/make, and model. Consumer stated that the Honda representative promised to call him, but as of yet had not done so. Then, when consumer did get in touch with the Honda representative he was offered much less for the vehicle than what he paid for it. Consumer was afraid to drive vehicle because of the wheels.
