We were driving down the highway one afternoon and it began to rain. We turned on our windshield wipers and nothing happened. We were forced to pull over on the side of the highway to wait out the storm since we had zero visibility without the wipers. Our wipers have not worked since that point.

In early 2011, i noticed that the backlights for the hvac controls, radio, and gear shifter all went out. The cabin is completely dark when driving at night. When i contacted honda, they said that this is an identified problem on some 2003-2004 accords but that my car is excluded from the extended warranty. The repair is $1,000 which is not a reasonable cost for a manufacturer defect. It is very difficult to operate…

Every time i use my wipers in the rain it would stop working after about 5 minutes - the wiper would start moving sluggish as if getting stuck then it would actually stop midway on the windshield. I had to turn the wipers off and on a few times to get it working again and then…
