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.

2005 honda accord fire danger. The catalytic converter heat shields fell off while driving and almost caused an accident. The catalytic converter is warranted 8 years or 80,000 miles. My honda only had about 45,000 when the catalytic converter heat shields failed. I took the auto to a honda dealer. The dealer contacted the honda company customer service representative and she refused to pay any part of the repair. We also called the honda representative several times without any help from honda. This person refused to let me speak to her supervisor. The reason the catalytic converter has heat shields are to prevent fires from heat given off by the catalytic converter. The auto is unsafe without the heat shields which surround, and are part of the catalytic converter a major emission control devises.

Early last year the car would not start. According to dealer the relay switch was bad and needed to be replaced. In march 2007 honda issued a recall relating to a defect with the relay, causing the fuel pump to lose power, become inoperative ,and possibly leaving the vehicle inoperable. According to honda's march 13, 2007 letter to mr. Daniel smith at the federal safety agency the vehicle fell into the VIN numbers which were subject to the recall as this vehicle's VIN was, and the VIN range given by honda was [xxx] - [xxx]. Curiously, this vehicle did not fall into the alleged dates of manufacturing listed by honda. More specifically, it appeared this vehicle was manufactured in january 2005, while the vehicles with the affected VIN range were allegedly only manufactured between april 13, 2005 - june 15, 2005. I contacted honda with this information ,and was advised that this vehicle was not part of the recall, yet my relay had failed a year earlier. I am concerned that the VIN numbers listed by honda to be affected by the recall did not match up with the alleged dates of manufacturing listed by honda, thereby calling into question the true number of vehicles that contained this serious, safety related defect which warranted a recall. I would like someone from the federal safety agency to contact me on this problem. *ak updated 07/10/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

My car suddenly accelerated upon exiting a car wash as I changed from neutral to drive. The design of the exit lane from the car wash driveway and access to the four lane street where the car wash is located does not allow for any speed as there are two sharp turns . My car sped across the driveway, into a culvert and toward the heavy traffic. I applied the brakes immediately and steered the car away from the street, crossing several business parking lots and landscaped areas. My 2005 honda accord received several thousands dollars in damage. Honda denied it was warranty and did not show me the computer diagnostic evaluation. In fact, this information seemed to be closely guarded by the service department at honda orr in hot springs, ar. I was told to contact my insurance company for repairs. This car experienced what I would explain as an open throttle which may be a new problem for computerized cars. I have taken several photos of my car and the scene, which shows several feet of skid marks.
