My front passenger power window and the two back windows have stopped working completely. They cannot be opened. I looked online and this seems to be a common problem with the honda accords. It is dangerous. They just stopped one day.

The navigation system on my 2005 accord sedan is not working. The screen displays "check your disk" but it also affects the a/c-heater fan control, radio preset stations, clock settings, steering wheel controls. This to me is a manufacturer defect and should be recalled. Many people are having the same or similar issue. My main concern is the lack of not being able to adjust the fan on either a/c or heater, it seems…

Passenger side power window stopped working. Mechanic i spoke to said the window regulator is broken and needs to be replaced. Up until the day it broke, the window would get stuck and not roll back-up. This happened many times until it broke. The issue, in my opinion, didn't appear to be because of any weather. The car was never in an accident, nor was the passenger window ever tampered with or vandalized.
