Tl*the contact owns a 2005 honda accord hybrid. the contact stated that her vehicle accelerated when she depressed the brake pedal. she heard an unfamiliar sound coming from the vehicle. initially, the failure occurred intermittently over the past three years, but has recently become worse. the faster she drives, the louder the failure becomes. when the brake pedal is depressed, the failure ceases, and when she releases the pedal, it starts again. the dealer stated that the failure may possibly be caused by a noise box. they further informed her that there were no other failures with the vehicle. the mileages were unknown.

I bought this brand new car in 2005 and good maintenance on it. for about a month, my car had been acting funny when i came to a stop, periodically. maybe once a week or so. by acting funny, i mean it did not seem to downshift immediately when i came to a stop, sometimes acting like someone bumped the car from behind barely. last saturday, around 9 pm right at the stop sign, the transmission locked up and i could not reverse or downshifted. i had to pull the car to the road side. it was towed to the dealer where i purchased it next morning that was sunday and i had to pay $181 for towing. monday, the dealer ship service called me and said transmission failure and i have to pay $4200 to replace it. i told them how can i bought the brand new car and it was only 67k miles, the transmission failure and i have to pay $4200.....after that they did contact to honda's corporate and told me that i have to pay $750 for manufacturers warranty deductible and honda will pay the rest. i have no choice so i let them fixed my car. but i would like to say is that why the car's transmission failed at 67k miles so who will buy the new honda with the problem like this. it cost me a nightmare to think about that night and i think the honda's corporate should responsible this problem and i don't have to pay $750 plug $181 towed car only 67k miles driving. otherwise, i am keep thinking that it could have accident when the car stopped at that night or my car was died on the trip around 100 miles away from home. *tr

Honda accord ex was parked in a picnic area near a local river. the driver stepped out with three passengers remaining in vehicle. the vehicle began to roll after the passenger turned off the ignition. the parking brake was not engaged, however, the driver states that the transmission was in park. the vehicle then rolled approximately 10' forward and down a 40 degree slope leading to the river. the vehicle stopped in the river with approximately one-half of the vehicle submersed. two passengers escaped prior to entering the water. both of these individuals received minor injury in the process. the other passenger was pulled out the passenger window after the vehicle had entered the river. we made several inquiries with honda corporation, local dealership, and our insurance company about possible mechanical problem. our hope was to have someone explain the possible scenarios leading to this incident. no one could provide complete evidence to in

My 2005 honda accord has 40k miles on it and from the original date of purchase to and including today's date my vehicle pulls to the right. this occurs in 4-6 seconds i have taken it to my local dealer numerous times to have this repaired beginning at 1k miles. during this time they have aligned it 2 times and the tires have been rotated 5 times. i informing my dealer of this problem everytime i take my car in for my regular oil change (every 3-4k miles) at which time my dealer advises me this is 1. a "safety feature" and/or 2. the problem is due to low tire pressure. they claim to inflate the tires, rotate or align my car and to date it is not fixed. i have had all work done at stockton honda and to date i have received no satisfaction in getting this fixed. *tr

I own both a 2004 accord ex v6 coupe and now a 2005 ex v6 sedan with automatic transmissions. transmission gear shifter completely misses the "d" postition and moves into "d3" when shifting from either "park or neutral modes", as though that is the correct position to operate the vehicle when driving! this is not a normal condition to operate a vehicle. there is no significant "detent" position to secure the shifter into the "d" postion. it simple slips by the "d" mode right into "d3"! every other auto transmission car i've owned required extra effort to bypass the "drive" position to place the shifter into another(lower) gear setting. operating either oy my vehicles in this manner may eventually cause significant damage to the transmission, engine or both. it may even cause some unforeseen transmission behavior affecting drivability.honda customer service was contacted and their suggestion was to be "more careful" in selecting the gear shifter position. that does not sound like a very substantial solution to an obvious mechanical problem (short coming). *ak

1. noticed when drove off of the lot of the dealer. i thought that it was just more power with the vehicle because it is a v-6, which i am not familiar with. 2. there is a hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear, which you can feel underneath your feet, almost like an annoying vibration. 3. i took it to the dealer and they had no idea what it was. they then wanted to disconnect the abs to see if it could clear the problem, but it was just a test, i have no idea how that would remedy the problem.*ak
