Loud grinding noise from rear upon stopping and going, and brakes sticking. This is the third time fixing and changing the pads and rotors. Very low use of vehicle and short time between having brakes done again.

Air bag needs to be replaced and ever since I bought it I been having steering wheel noise and it shakes constantly. I bought new tires, changed power steering, pump, hose and it still does the same thing. I go to discount tires nearly every two weeks to get tires rebalanced even if its new. They still cant find the problem. Car also turns off sometimes. Happpened five times already. The steering whistle sound is constant now and when my car turned off it was on the street parked and also making turns causes the steering wheel to be stiff.

I did not finance my 2005 honda; I paid cash upfront $18,000+. From the beginning I have been reporting to honda that there is a "major" problem with the brakes! I bought the car in late september 2005;. When winter came, I noticed that my brakes would stall when it extreme weather(snow, heavy rain, extremely cold weather)! During these poor weather conditions, when I press on the brakes, the car will not stop right away. There is a heavy pulsating noise and feeling going on, and the car will not stop until I have pressed down on the brakes as far as I could and the car has continued moving for a distance. Over the years, I have reported it and have taken it back and forth to the dealership, and have been told each time that they can not find a problem! I feel as though they didn't take responsibility because I did not finance the car.there have been times when I thought that I was going to die, because of this critical brake problem. Today is monday, january 11, 2016... The weather was extremely cold this morning (maybe around 32 degrees), and this situation with these honda manufactured brakes occurred again. I was terrified when my I pressed down on the brakes to stop for a woman pushing a baby carriage at a school cross-walk! Honda has avoided taking responsibility for this highly dangerous problem for far too long, and many people have probably died or become greatly injured to problems such as this with their honda vehicles! From this report I am hoping for an immediate response and action to this "highly critical" matter. Today, was the final straw! These brakes have to be recalled....I don't want to die and I certainly don't want anyone else to die because the brakes on my 2005 honda would not stop!

I've owned my 4-dr., 6-cyl. Ex model since purchasing it from a honda parts dept. Employee in jan., 2007 with 24k miles on the engine. It has performed generally very well until it developed a safety-related, brake system problem that has gotten progressively worse since it first occurred-- namely, that the brake pedal has become progressively soft when applied, and recently has to be applied strenuously all the way to the floor to get even a minimal stopping response. When the problem first occurred, I began regularly checking the brake fluid level in my master cylinder. Only occasionally did the cylinder require some minimal, additional brake fluid--akin to a normal maintenance amount. Keeping my fluid to a maximum-level has not resolved the problem. This past march (2015), I requested my well-rated, independent mechanic to diagnose the problem. He first identified the same 3 earlier honda service bulletins that I had (going all the way back to 2007) that addressed this brake problem, wherein honda was mostly implicating a faulty ABS (control) module as the cause of the problem (note: I've never received a safety recall svc. Bulletin from honda for this problem). My mechanic estimated that replacing my ABS module would cost over $2000, but that even then there would be no guarantee that my problem would be resolved. So, until I could decide what action to take, I had him do a front brake job to "buy" whatever extra stopping-power I could ... Which turned out to be minimal-to-none! Not only does my problem remain, but it is getting rapidly worse ... To the point that I'm reluctant make long, highway-speed trips, and am driving super-defensively so as to be able to stop the car in any kind of risky situation. I plan to appeal to the honda america hierarchy, starting with my local dealership.

May 4, 2015, 2005 honda accord v6 stalled and all systems non-functional while driving. Accord rear-ended a car at rest at a stop sign. In november 2011, the transmission gave out on freeway. Vehicle stayed on and I was able to quickly coast off the freeway, but drive train was out and needed to be replaced (105k miles). This transmission failure seems to be consistent with other the federal safety agency reports. In april, 2011 the accord began stalling and all systems failed while the car was in drive and moving. In may, 2012 the dch honda of temecula found faulty throttle sensor and replaced the part. The vehicle has not experienced this problem again until this failure and accident. I see several reports of accords stalling on this site. Is this a known problem? My daughter was fortunate this didn't happen when approaching oncoming traffic or the freeway. This seems like a serious safety issue.

I was driving on the highway going about 75 MPH. And the brakes randomly applied them self causing my car to go from 75 to 60 MPH almost getting hit from behind. I have contacted honda they said "scene they can not get the car to do it while they took it for a test drive there is nothing they can do.' I have done a ton of research on hondas. From 2003 to 2006 they have had a lot of complaints about brake problems and radio problems . The radio in my car does not work right in order for it to work right the want me to buy a new audio part. All of this on my budget. The brakes are a major safety concern and the just blow it off like nothing is wrong. I am hoping by sharing this with you guys something will be done to help make my car and other safer on the roads..
