2004 HONDA ACCORD Electrical Systemignition Problems

The contact owns a 2004 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, it was difficult to place the key into the ignition, and it was also difficult to remove the key from the ignition. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I GOT OUT THE DRIVEWAY AND MADE A RIGHT TURN. THE IGNITION KEY JUMP OUT OF THE IGNITION KEY HOLE AND BROKE THE KEY HANDLE ( PLASTIC WITH REMOTE DOORS/TRUNK OPENING. THE CAR STALLED AND STOP. I PUT THE KEY ( THE METAL PART) IN BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT START. I TRIED SUPER GLUE THE METAL AND PLASTIC BACK TOGETHER AND TURN THE IGNITION KEY. THE ENGINE WAS ON NORMAL. I TOOK THE KEY OUT, AND TRIED TO TURN IT WITH THE METAL PART AGAIN. THE CAR DID NOT START. I DID NOT REALIZE THE SERIOUS OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL I READ THE WORCESTER TELEGRAM GAZETTE ( SATURDAY 8/13/05) AND FOUND THE HONDA ACURA RSX HAS THE SAME PROBLEM TO OTHER AND IT LOCKED HIM THREE TIMES. I MAY GET KILL IF THE KEY JUMP OUT OF THE IGNITION AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE ALERT HONDA ABOUT THESE...

I HAVE A 2004 EX V-6 ACCORD COUPE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAD THE CAR FOR 1 WEEK IT HAD 175 MILES ON IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALL SIX PISTONS WERE MISFIRING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN 3 TIMES NOW FOR EXCESSIVE NOISE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT ONCE AND TOLD ME THAT SOME NOISE IS NORMAL.. (MY 76 HONDA CIVIC DOESN'T EVEN MAKE AS MUCH NOISE AS THIS CAR DOES) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND BLINKS AND GOES OFF HAS DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES. DEALERSHIP RESETS IT AND SAYS THAT IT IS OK. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE CAR IN 2 TIMES BECAUSE IT WON'T START. DEALERSHIP SAYS TO TURN KEY TO FIRST CLICK TO LET THE FUEL INJECTION LINES FILL WITH FUEL. IT DOESN'T WORK. I AM TAKING IT BACK...

NUMEROUS PROBLEMS, BRAKING SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION, PROBLEM STARTING THE CAR. RECALL NOTICE FOR A PART TO BE CHANGED IN THE TRANSMISSION. *BF CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 04V176000 GEAR FAILURE COULD RESULT IN TRANSMISSION LOCKUP, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT UNDERNEATH THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT GOING TO FALL APART. THE VEHICLE SWAYS WHILE BEING DRIVEN. *TC

2004 HONDA ACCORD LX 4 CYL. AUTOMATIC 4 DOOR 4533 MILES EY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGINITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. EACH TIME I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM OF THIS EVENT. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN, BUT THEY NEED TO SEE THE KEY NOT COME OUT OF THE CAR TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IF IT CAME OUT THEN BRING IT IN THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM. EACH TIME I WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH KEY REMOVAL AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF PLAY. I WOULD BE ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON. I WOULD DRIVE AROUND, COME BACK PARK, PLAY WITH KEY,GIGGLE KEY UP AND DOWN, SIDE TO SIDE, AND STILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY KEY OUT. I MADE SURE THAT I WAS IN PARK, BACK UP GO FORWARD, AND PARK, PULL UP E-BRAKE. I RISKED MY CAR BEING STOLEN...

COULD NOT START CAR ON 2 OCCASIONS MONTHS APART. ORIGINALLY THOUGHT STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED HARD AGAINST SWITCH. THIS TIME SWITCH EASILY TURNED BUT CAR SEEMED TO HAVE DEAD BATTERY. BOTH TIMES NO FURTHER INDICATION OF BATTERY PROBLEMS.*AK

MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 OCCASIONALLY HAS ISSUES STARTING. MY HONDA ONLY HAS 1600 MILES ON IT. IT ACTS AS IF IT'S FLOODED; EVERYTIME I'VE HAD TO REMOVE THE KEY AND TRY AGAIN. I HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE (ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS) WITH MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 -- SO MANY THAT THE DEALER BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK FROM ME (BEFORE I COULD LEMON LAW IT) AND PUT ME IN THE 2004 -- BECAUSE "HONDA'S ARE GOOD CARS". *JB
