Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2004 Honda Accord. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was approximately 134,000. The contact stated that while attempting to resell the vehicle, the contact was informed by an individual interested in purchasing the vehicle that the mileage reported might not be the actual mileage. The contact was advised to check the Carfax Report. While checking the Carfax Report, the contact noticed two potential reports of odometer fraud with the vehicle. The Carfax Report indicated that in 2023, the mileage was reported to be approximately 251,000. The contact had not filed a report with any other agencies.

My car is beinbtg locked remotely. I do not have a working key fob so it is not anything I am doing. I am having difficulty opening the lock ad well on my car doors. This is very recent

The contact owns a 2004 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, it was difficult to place the key into the ignition, and it was also difficult to remove the key from the ignition. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The honda accord 2004 and close models have an issue with gps control screen that fails to turn on, it keeps getting stocked in one position on which prevents access to air controls as well as gps controls but more important air controls to defog front windshield when in cold weather as driving creating a hazardous condition for the drivers as a potential for accident as the driver attempt to clean windshield but air controls are not accessible on screen, it also controls the radio and maps that are not as important as the air control. Please note that the issue is been present for many years on cars and Honda have not provided a solution just yet as is not a warranty issue instead it will be considered a manufacturers defect that was carried by car owner for the rest of the car life and the challenges presented during the driving on the road unable to access those controls. There are many people complaining about the same issue on these models and have been but a repair have not been offered that I'm aware of it. Once again is not an owners problem or anything that is been caused by car owners instead the part became a defective product. My complain is not about receiving a free product instead receiving assistance on asking the manufacturers to respond to a deflective product provided to consumers and assist with repair and provide parts needed if necessary to correct problem rather that directing consumer to purchase new product that will cost thousands of dollars and not been a consumers fault. Thank you for your assistance.

Please note that my 2004 honda accord ex is been having issues with navigation system turning off by itself as we are driving, we purchased the last update cd orange 2014 and caused the car to do that. the screen goes blanc and controls air system as well as radio and navigation operations, honda was contacted in the past and technician stated to wait for honda for a possible repair or update for software that they were looking for a solution but it has not happened. the air control is an important issue since the car will fog out windows as driving in cold weather and been unable to defog due to lack of access to screen controls is dangerous. To better explain the clock display time can not be changed either and it was explained to me to be controlled by gps system but since software is not recognized or updated those issues can not be corrected. Please assist with these issues with gps-navigation system, it is an issue with software honda related as I have been explained but can not be corrected with out further assistance from honda. Thank you

CAR WOULD NOT ALWAYS START WHEN TURNING THE KEY. SOMETIMES IS WOULD START IMMEDIATELY AND OTHER TIMES I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE KEY AND EVENTUALLY IT WOULD START. A FEW TIMES IT TOOK ME OVER 1/2 HOUR TO GET THE CAR STARTED. BATTERY WAS LESS THAT A YEAR OLD. HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND IT WAS OK. HAD TO TAKE CAR TO GARAGE AND HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED. I TRIED FINDING MORE INFORMATION ON LINE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THE HONDA ACCORD. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. I SHOULD NOT OF HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER. I HAD TO PAY $390.91 TO REPLACE THE STARTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

SEAT BELT WILL NOT RESET THE LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS CONTROL THE WATER WILL NEVER PUMP THE WATER OUT HOWEVER THE PUMP IS GOOD. THE RADIO WORKS HOWEVER YOU CAN NOT SEE THE PANEL AND LIGHTS, THAT INCLUDES THE AIR CONDITIONAL AND HEATER LIGHTS. THE PAIN ON ALL OF MY HONDA'S ARE COMING OFF OR FADING WITH A WHITE COLOR AND SPOTS ALL OVER.

HEADS LIGHTS DIM AS I DRIVE IN CITY STREETS. HONDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS BUT NEVER DID A RECALL ON HONDAS 2003 TO 2005. THE ELD HAS A FAULTY SOLDER JOINT. THIS IS WHAT THE HONDA FACTORY SERVICE BULLETIN STATES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. PART IS OVER $550.00 PLUS LABOR.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TORQUE CONVERTORS FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORDS BUT I CANNOT GET ANYONE TO FIX MY HONDA'S TORQUE CONVERTOR UNDER THE RECALL

I PURCHASE A CAR FROM SUNSHINE AUTO NEW LINK FINANCE ON WEST TENNESSEE ST TALLAHASSEE FL ON MARCH 22 2016 I PURCHASE THIS AUTO OFF GOOD FAITH FROM THE SALE WOMEN AND OWNER AFTER TAKING VEHICLE HOME I NOTICE THE VEHICLE WAS BARELY PULLING LIKE IT WAS LOW ON FLUIDS I ALSO NOTICE 2 RECALLS AIR BAGS N ONE BACK SEAT BEAT WORKING AS REQUIRE BY LAW IT WAS ALSO PENTLY MOTION ON HIGHWAY TURNING N RIDING DOWN ROAD THIS COMPANY RUNS A FRAUD SCAMS N OWNER CLAIMS HE ALWAYS OUT STATE N BUSINESS CLOSED DOWN AFTER FRAUD CUSTOMER OUT THERE MONEY COMANY HAS BEEN UNDER 8 DIFFERNT NAME SINCE 2011 PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL [XXX] ANY MORE QUESTIONS. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE PANEL LIGHTS ON THE RADIO HAS WENT OUT. I CAN'T RECALL IF IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING OR NOT, BUT I NOTICED IT WHILE DRIVING. IN THE 2004 HONDA ACCORD, THE AC, RADIO, & CLOCK SHARE THE SAME DISPLAY. IT WAS RAINING THE OTHER NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND MY WINDOWS FOGGED UP. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THE DEFROST BUTTON AT NIGHT SINCE ALL THE DISPLAY LIGHTS STOP WORKING. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY HONDA WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS ISSUE TO ENSURE THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE SAFE WHILE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES.

RADIO DOES NOT PLAY AUDIO, RANDOMLY BLASTS STATIC AT VERY LOUD LEVEL, CAUSING DRIVER TO BE STARTLED. NO FUNCTIONS OF RADIO WORK.

AIR BAGS REPLACED, AFTER PICKING UP CAR FROM HONDA DEALER; CAR WILL NOT START. APPEARS SOMETHING IS SUCKING ALL THE JUICE SO STARTER DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO START. CAR WORKED GREAT BEFORE (BESIDES THE KILL PEOPLE AT LOW SPEEDS THING), HANDED OVER TO HONDA, NOW WONT START. MIND YOU THIS CAR WAS ACTUALLY RECALLED IN 2014 BUT ONLY JUST NOW RECEIVED NEW BAGS. VERY UN-PLEASED WITH THE WAY HONDA HANDLED THIS VERY SCARY SITUATION.

RADIO STOPPED PLAYING MUSIC AND MAKES LOUD CRACKING NOISE THAT IS STARTLING WHEN DRIVING. WHEN SEARCHING FOR SOLUTIONS ONLINE, IT WAS SUGGESTED "A CHIP FOR THE AUDIO OUTPUT HAS FAILED AND EXPLODED ON THE INTERNAL PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD." THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS POSTED ONLINE BY OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS. HONDA WON'T FIX AND SOME COMMENTS SAY THAT THE NON-DEALER MECHANICS HAVE FURTHER DAMAGED THE VEHICLE WHEN TRYING FIX THE ISSUE. THE COSTS TO POSSIBLY FIX WITH CHANCES OF CAUSING MORE DAMAGE IS GREATER THAN $500. IF IT'S NOT A COMMON ISSUE, HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND CORRECT THE ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUSLY LOUD SOMETIMES AND CAUSES ME TO LOSE FOCUS ON THE ROAD.

THIS REPORTED ISSUE IS NOT SPECIFIC TO MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD, BUT APPLIES TO MANY VEHICLES. ON ALMOST A WEEKLY BASIS, I SEE PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR CARS AT NIGHT ON FREEWAYS AND CITY STREETS WITHOUT THEIR LIGHTS ON, POSING A DANGER TO OTHER MOTORISTS WHO MIGHT NOT SEE THEM. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THIS CAN BE SOLVED SIMPLY: CHANGE THE LIGHT SWITCH TO NOT ILLUMINATE THE DASHBOARD UNLESS THE LIGHTS ARE ON. MY CAR ALWAYS HAS ITS DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIGHTS ARE ON OR NOT. THERE IS A SMALL "IDIOT LIGHT" OF A GREEN HEADLIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT IT HARDLY NOTICEABLE. IF INSTEAD THE CAR'S DASHBOARD WOULD BE DARK WHEN THE LIGHTS AREN'T ON (LIKE IN 25+ YEAR-OLD CARS), I BELIEVE MOST DRIVERS WOULD BE MUCH LESS LIKELY TO FORGET TO TURN THEIR LIGHTS ON -- DO YOU AGREE? *TR

HONDA ACCORD WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WHEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG SENSOR DID COME ON BUT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAG SENSOR REMAINS ON AFTER IMPACT. *TR

BATTERY LIGHT CONTINUALLY FLICKERS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT FLICKERS, MY HEADLIGHTS GET VERY DIM, MY A/C FANS FLUCTUATE IN SPEED, AND MY AFTERMARKET STEREO AMPLIFIERS (2) CUT OUT. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE THEY TESTED THE BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR. BATTERY HAD A DEAD CELL BUT WAS STILL HOLDING A CHARGE. STARTER AND ALTERNATOR TESTED OK. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY ON THE SPOT. THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO GET CHECKED AT MULTIPLE AUTO PARTS STORES AND THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP. NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG. EVERY DAY SEEMS TO GET A LITTLE WORSE. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THE BATTERY LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND THE CAR LOSES POWER INTERMITTENTLY ALONG WITH ALL OF THE OTHER SYMPTOMS I HAVE ALREADY LISTED. *TR

THE DISPLAY WHERE THE HEATER AND RADIO IS DOES NOT LIGHT UP, WE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEH 2/12/15... I TRIED TO DRIVE IT LAST NIGHT AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AFTER DARK, U CAN'T SEE TO TURN KNOBS/BUTTONS OR ANY THING TO DO W/THE HEATER....U HAVE TO TURN OVERHEAD DONE LIGHTS ON TO SEE THE BUTTONS, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
