My alternator is covered in alternator fluid including my serpentine belt all the way to my power steering reservoir . Also I've been noticing a loss of power in my vehicle , when I pump gas I try to fill it up and it wont fill up all the way to full it stays 1/4 less of full . Other thing is I had to take off the fuse for the radio due to the radio making loud popping sounds and turning of and on the speakers are fine its all original . This past weekend I noticed also when I was about to hit the road I wanted to set it on cruise control and it didnt work at all only the cruise control light was on and I used it a couple of times this year without problems till now .this week im going to the dealer to have my airbags fixed again due to an airbag recall .
Repeatedly stopping. With no warnings. When driving, engine quit in january, would not move or even turn over. The manual transmission would not move. Door locks, electric as well as with the key could not be used at. Called aaa to be able to open the door. Jumped the battery to move the car. Still frozen in gear. Had it towed to two dealers. Said the clutch was destroyed. Prior to this issue, not one problem. I had to pay 250.00 for diagnostics to tell me clutch was burned out. I have driven over 34 years and always had a manual transmission. After clutch was replaced, it did it again and again. At this point, we bought a new battery. Once again, I called aaa and they jumped the battery. I am requesting an investigation into the constant electrical freeze. I would like a refund of the diagnostic. Charges and repairs. Clutch was installed for 1500.00. Battery was120.00. Please call [xxx]. As soon as possible. Alt number is [xxx].

Today: 6/5/18 - car has electrical problem & so today I enter VIN # into the federal safety agency website with results: " a broken outer race may cause abnormal noise, the malfunction indicator light to turn on, and allow contact between the transmission idle gear and an electronic sensor housing within the transmission" called honda hdqtrs and can't do anything
Takata recall. I took my 2005 honda accord to honda world in westminster, california and was told there's no recall for my airbags even though I have received notices in the mail and the airbag light turns off and on. The vehicle is in motion on city streets or highway, whether go straight or turning, the airbag light turns off and on. This dealer has refused to check the airbags unless I pay and says there's no recall for the airbags though I've received notices.
Wipers and wiper washer stopped working; no blown fuses involved; keyless entry system not working; remote control is now opening just the trunk but nothing else; radio backlight not working & power steering gets hard in cold weather or after driving on streets or roads with little maneuver. Even after pump replacement.
Non working front passenger and rear windows. Try to roll others 3 widows down you can hear the switch click at the switch on the door you are trying at.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. Upon starting the vehicle, all the windows failed to operate while pressing the power window switch. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to clawson honda of fresno (6346 n blackstone ave, fresno, ca 93710 (559) 435-5000) where it was diagnosed that an unknown module needed replacement. The dealer informed the contact of a recall, but no open recalls were found. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact received a postcard from tk holdings, alerting her that they filed for bankruptcy. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Initially only the drivers door and right rear passenger door would lock or unlock, whether inside the car, using the key, or using the key fob. Beginning yesterday, all the door locks will neither lock nor unlock using any of the previously mentinoed methods, the lights at the bottom of the door will not turn off, and the dash symbol showing all doors ajar stays on constantly. I initally assumed it was the door actuators but after researching the problem, it seems to point towards an issue regarding three relays which are soldered on what's called a multiplex control unit located under the dash on the left. Safety issue is I can't lock or unlock the doors.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While stationary, the keys became very hot after being removed from the ignition. The contact stated that the buttons on the key fobiks became inoperable and neither of the ignition keys would start the vehicle. The manufacturer and the dealer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
My front passenger power window and the two back windows have stopped working completely. They cannot be opened. I looked online and this seems to be a common problem with the honda accords. It is dangerous. They just stopped one day.
The cluster lights and the dome light will get dim. The dome light does when you open the doors. The cluster lights will while the head lights are on. The lights on the radio do the same. The radio will make a loud noise and stop playing until you turn off and turn back on.the wiring to back speakers is put in wrong dont work at all. The seat belts will lock when trying to pull them and it dont matter if its in motion or stationary.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While driving 25 MPH, the vehicle shut off while making a turn. All the warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired with a new battery; however, the vehicle had to be placed into park before it would restart. The failure continued intermittently. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 132,747.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH and attempted to turn the air conditioner on, she noticed that the radio did not function. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and replaced the on-off switch but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.
The navigation system on my 2005 accord sedan is not working. The screen displays "check your disk" but it also affects the A/C-heater fan control, radio preset stations, clock settings, steering wheel controls. This to me is a manufacturer defect and should be recalled. Many people are having the same or similar issue. My main concern is the lack of not being able to adjust the fan on either A/C or heater, it seems to all be connected to the navigation system. Please help! This needs to be looked at as a safety recall, in case of foggy window I will not be able to increase the fan control. How do I know you took my concern in consideration? Once again, please help!
Honda strung me a long for two years, resetting the electrical system to clear the engine light each time it was brought in for service. Since those two years the warranty has expired on my hybrid battery, which cost $3500 or more to replace. It is their product, and knew the problem was to replace the battery. They scammed my so now im stuck with a useless car. They would not even agree to assist me in buying another one.
All of a sudden one day the GPS navigation system stopped working completely. My car's make/model uses the GPS navigation panel to manually change internal functions, access the trip computer, enter addresses, et cetera. Without use of the navigation panel, I have severely limited access to most of my car's electronic functions. The navigation gets stuck on the start-up screen (something that looks blue/black with words 'honda'), and never gets to the second warning screen (orange text on black), where one can push 'ok on the touch screen. When the weather is warmer, sometimes I can push this ok button to get into the controls. I usually have 30 seconds until it fails again. The following issues are present: 1) cds; I cannot select a cd to listen to. I can eject/put cds in, but I can only change songs using the controls on my steering wheel. 2) climate control/temperature control: I cannot switch from the A/C to heat. I can only adjust the temperature up/down, recirculate air, or turn on front/rear defrost. For any temperature setting, when I push the 'off' button, I cannot turn the same setting back on with the 'auto' button. If I push the 'auto' button, it recalls some random last temperature settings, usually a very cold A/C setting (which I never programmed or desired). 3) maps; I can't enter any addresses, therefore, the navigation is useless. If it magically works, it turns off shortly after an address is entered. The navi 'lock-up' situation I described here has been present for over a year or so. Weather does affect it. My research concludes that many other honda owners had this issue. Many were told by honda directly that honda didn't know what the issue is, and to contact alpine, the manufacturer of the GPS navi. Most customers who did this were told to send their whole cd/dvd reader unit to alpine for repair, which costs several hundred dollars.
Passenger side power window stopped working. Mechanic I spoke to said the window regulator is broken and needs to be replaced. Up until the day it broke, the window would get stuck and not roll back-up. This happened many times until it broke. The issue, in my opinion, didn't appear to be because of any weather. The car was never in an accident, nor was the passenger window ever tampered with or vandalized.
Without notice or cause the passenger window and both back seat seat windows stop responding to the power controls. This caused the three windows to not open, and has been consistent since it originally happened over a month ago.
My vehicle was parked in the parking lot of a grocery store. I was on my home from work and had stopped to purchase a few items. The engine was turned off. I had been in the store for about 10 minutes when I heard the loudspeaker asking for the owner of a 2005 gold honda accord to come to the customer service counter. When I approached the person behind the counter, he asked me to look outside to see if the vehicle on fire was, in fact, my car. Smoke was coming from the engine of my car and two vehicles from the fire department were trying to put out the fire. The car was totaled. Honda insisted it was my fault, but I found out much later that engine fires had occurred in other 2005 accords. State farm gave me the replacement value for the vehicle, but it wasn't enough to purchase a car of equal value. The honda accord was still under warranty. I felt I should have been compensated for the entire cost of the car. Plus, if the fire had occurred while I was driving, I might not be here writing this letter to you. I was just recently made aware of some of the recalls from honda for this exact problem. I believe honda should take ownership of this problem and compensate me fairly for my loss. I have the VIN number and all of the paperwork from state farm, including photos of the damage to car taken after the fire.
I was leaving a store on hull st. And my car was at about 40 MPH and all of a sudden stopped moving and I felt that it was something bad so I cut the car off and restarted my car and it started up nicely once I switched gears from park to reverse the car didn't move. So I went to put car into park and there was a really loud noise which scared me crazy. I cut the car back off and it began to roll backwards in the park gear so I had to put the car emergency break on to keep in place. Monday morning which I'd today I get my car towed to aamco and they diagnostic my car as a shaft failure which had broken which caused the car to make the loud noise when placed in the park gear and the car doesn't realize which gear it's in because it is broken inside the transmission

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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the horn was depressed and failed. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the horn and driver's side air bag needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. However, the contact was concerned about the method used to replace the air bag. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.
The car sporadically turns off while driving. Before the car shuts off sometimes the dashboard lights will flicker. The check engine light will sometimes go on for a day or two and then turn off. The car was checked out by three nys mechanics who all drove the car at length only to determine that nothing was wrong. One of the mechanics was from a honda dealership.
I viewed the federal safety agency id number: 10653526 involving the red airbag indicator light that comes on and won't go off. Mine has been doing this intermittently for at least a year that I can recall. It is now on almost all the time. When calling a local dealer about it, they said that they would have to charge me to look at the problem and would be responsible for any work that would need to be done to fix it.
Radio, including cd, on 2005 honda accord will turn on and off intermittently for no reason while car is parked and locked with no key in ignition. If radio volume is high and/or cd was on when car was turned off, this will drain the battery, especially if the cd player comes on. Several times this killed the battery. Workaround solution - make sure volume is at zero and radio is off before parking car.
