I was driving in Kansas City Kansas. On 635, It was around 6 pm. When I started exiting onto another highway. Due to car stalling by either transmission slipping, or the fuel pump stalling the engine headlights too dim with weird angle in lighting as well, Long story short.... I was almost the cause of a massive wreck ... it made for a quiet drive home... So I was also going to see if they've had a recall on 2005 honda accord aside from airbags.

- What is wrong
- Honda is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 accord, 2007-2010 cr-v, and 2005-2008 element passenger cars manufactured from july 1, 2004, through september 3, 2010. The outer race of the secondary shaft bearing may be broken during certain driving styles. 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.
- Risk
- This could result in a short circuit causing the engine to stall. Additionally, broken pieces of the outer race or ball bearing from the secondary shaft may become lodged in the parking pawl resulting in the vehicle rolling after the driver has placed the gear selector in the park position. Engine stall and unexpected vehicle movement increases the risk of a crash or personal injury to persons within the path of a rolling vehicle.
- Remedy
- Honda will notify owners and dealers will update the automatic transmission control module software free of charge. The safety recall began on august 27, 2011. Owners may contact honda automobile customer service at 1‑800‑999‑1009.

AFRAID CAR MIGHT KILL ME! Hello, I have reported this issue before but am getting zero help. My car has a problem where it is burning through the oil, I've had numerous mechanics try to figure out what is causing it but, nothing. I would get an oil change today and before the month is out, I would have to continue checking and putting oil in the car because it would be completely dry. No leaks ever detected... I've change the oil to full synthetic and still have the problem. The vehicle continuously losses power when driving uphill, My check engine light stays on and the light in the glove compartment does not go off while driving. I'm worried my engine will blow up if the problem persist. I am the original and only owner of this vehicle. There is also a problem with the suspension or axel, when I push hard on the brakes, the car makes a noise like the bottom fell out and is dragging metal on the floor. Mechanic also cannot figure that out, I've paid over 6k in diagnosis, repairs and time trying to get help and nothing. I would like to get my honda checked and fixed. I Anxiously await a response and solution to this car. I have Covid and this is my only source of transportation.
Put car on parked car kept moving on parking stall . Also when turning car on push breaks and put on drive jumps hard and when pushing on breaks does not break on time have to push breaks to the floor

My daytime running lights come on and will not go off, unless I unhook battery. We took the fuses out wich turned the lights off but still drains the battery for some reason. We have checked all the relays and fuses. Need help!!!! 2nd issue is a code coming up for the hybrid powertrain control module. My vehicle has lost power and is in limp mode. Please help me!!!!!
My car stalls and lost power when I was driving on freeway at high speed and when I accelerate, car is almost lost power and I have to slow down.
Vehicle jerks changing into gears revs high when driving and jerks will all of a sudden cease to drive turning off vehicle and back on seems to clear condition but comes back
Transmission failure!! I knew these early 2000s to 2005s had transmission issues in the accords and civics, but I had a 2005 earlier and when someone hit me it had over 168.000 miles on it. (it was a california car with extra smog components) no transmissions issues!! I replaced it with another 2005 accord 4cyl at 79.441 miles in feb of 2018. The car had been very well maintained by a honda dealership in ga. Nothing was missed. I also had transmission serviced and a lot of other things done by a certified honda mechanic before I even put the plate on it back in nc. On 6/12/19( 93500 on car) I was in a rollover wreck in my 2002 tundra.(great truck) and really needed my car. On 6/14/19 I go to see my tundra in the junk yard and my car just starts revving up but stops moving. I pulled over and stopped then tried to put car back into gear and was able to get it into 2nd gear and limp to a friends house. I was heartbroken!! To lose both in 2 days was insane! I took it to friendlys transmission in high point nc and they put in a rebuilt transmission very quickly!!!! I hope this one holds because it is a beautiful little car with a great engine and I would like to drive it a long time. I thought about trying to deal with honda but I was in pain and needed my car...it is shameful that a low mileage car that has been well taken care of should need a new transmission so soon!!! It would be wonderful if 11v395000, recall r89, 8/27 2011 would somehow apply to my car!!!
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].

I was driving down through someones yard and its like my vehicle made a grinding sound and a malfunction light illuminated an exclamation point in a triangle. I almost got stuck and I was horrified at the sound. Later on I started noticing it was harder to control thw vehicle at higher speeds on the road. Especially after it rained I would leave my yard and would almost be trapped in my yard. Very eerie grinding sound with 3 malfunction lights on: ABS, traction control, and brake lamp illuminated.
