    Tail lights stopped working, passenger and both back windows wont roll down...from forums i've read this is common. Honda needs to issue a recall and fix this for everyone!! Also anyone else have to replace wiper linkage due to the excessive windshield wipers when they slam down, they've done this since bought the car off the lot brand new!

    Headlights and the headlight lens for this car are so dim that driving after dusk is not safe. I've replaced the blubs twice and had the car serviced for this problem with no success.

    During multiple instances, my car (honda accord 2006) was either in nearly stopped position or stopping in the line of traffic red light behind other car. Suddenly, it just self-accelerated itself with rpm cranking up to 1.5 k-rpm while i was braking my brake peddle to set my car in stopped situation. Normally, when it was in fully stop or idle position, the engine idle rpm speed is 0.75~0.8 k-rpm. These scary…

    The headlights outer surface has turned cloudy. This is a common issue with cars but it is a safety issue since it greatly impairs vision. I don't understand why car makers can continue to to make their headlights out of materials we all know will discolor and create a safety problem.

    I am a police officer in the northeast ohio area. In the past few months i've come in contact with a design flaw pertaining to the newer model honda vehicles. On at least 10 separate occasions i've had to advise drivers of honda vehicles to turn on their lights. During fog, rain and night time driving these vehicles were driving with only the daytime driving lights on. In my opinion the flaw is that the daytime…

    Low beams on my 2006 honda accord have not illuminated well. I have lived with this poor lighting by using my high beam when not indicated. Recently, i discovered a recall # 07e004000 that states about it. My vehicle is a perfect example of this problem. I called honda and the customer service said they were closed during prime business time. I was also told the headlights were an after market issue. How do i get…
