2006 HONDA ACCORD Electrical System Problems

After driving my Honda Accord for 135,000 miles, the ignition switch malfunctioned and I am unable to start the car, it seems like I need to replace the switch. After doing research I found out that many Hondas of the same model and years 2003-2009 experienced the same issues which leads me to believe their might be a manufacturing default.

PASSENGER AND BOTH REAR WINDOWS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. NO SWITCH ON ANY DOOR (INCLUDING THE DRIVER'S SIDE) WILL RAISE OR LOWER THE WINDOWS. WHEN THE SWITCHES ARE DEPRESSED, A CLICKING SOUND IS MADE.

I HAVE HAD THE AIRBAGS CHECKED AND REPLACED AT BRANDON HONDA AND I GOT AN AIRBAG LIGHT THAT WON'T GO OFF AND AM WORRIED ABOUT MAYBE SIDE AIRBAG PROBLEMS AND WON'T GET A CALL BACK FROM BRANDON HONDA IN BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA TO GET IT CHECKED OUT OR REPAIRED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN OPERATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING ERRATICALLY.

THE CONTACT REFERENCED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V395000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

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!

Mileage: 180,000

NONE OF THE WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN CHECKED FUSES AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM EXCEPT WINDOWS NOT ROLLING DOWN IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN CASE OF A WRECK TO WHERE SOMEONE WOULD NEED TO GET OUT OF A WINDOW HAVE CHILDREN WHO NEED TO HAVE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN FOR VENTILATION BECAUSE OF CAR SICKNESS I HAVE READ THAT MANY OF THESE HONDAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED THROUGH THE RECALL SYSTEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO LOWER THE WINDOWS, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN. THE FAILURE BEGAN ON MARCH 2, 2018. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

STEREO IS INTERMITTENT ,SOUNDS LIKE A SHORT IN THE WIRING .SOME TIMES WILL NOT RESPOND TO FUNCTIONS APPERENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL BUT NOT WITH THIS VIN

COLD AIR NO LONGER COMING OUT FROM DRIVERS SIDE VENTS LOOKING ONLINE THIS APPEARS TO BE COMMON FOR THE HONDA ACCORD BUT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A RECALL WHY?

OFFICIAL NHTSA PAGE CONCERNING RECALL #12V222000. WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS MAKING NOISE BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL, MY POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKS, AND MY I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUE. I THINK IT'S RELATED TO THIS RECALL. ON A CITY STREET. OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TICKS OR WHINES WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON.

Mileage: 3

TAKATA RECAL MY ABS, TCS ,BREAK AND EXCLAMATION MARK IS LIT UP ON MY DASH BORED AND STAYS ON AFTER THE ENGINE STARTS AND DOESN'T TURN OFF UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF EVERY TIME I DRIVE NO MATTER WHERE I GO.

I HAVE BEEN IN AND REPLACED MY AIRBAG SENSORS 3 TIMES WITH THE RECALL. AFTER THE 2ND OR 3RD TIME I WAS IN FOR THE RECALL THE LINING OF THE ROOF OF MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY FALLEN IN AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SEE OUT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THE ROOF OF MY CAR AS IT LOOKS NOW. I SHOULD HAVE VIDEO OF THE TRANSITION OF EVENTS BUT I THINK MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE HAS CRASHED COMPLETELY. I HAVE BEEN IN TO HONDA OF CONCORD IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE THEY HAVE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS FAR AS REPAIRING IT FOR FREE AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. WHY HAS NO ONE LOOKED AT A COMPUTER GLITCH AS THE CULPRIT FOR THE AIRBAG SENSORS AUTOMATICALLY RELEASING AIR? SOMETHING HAS TO TRIGGER THE SENSOR TO START SLOWLY RELEASING AIR, AS I WAS TOLD AT HONDA OF SOUTH HILL, VIRGINIA WHERE I ORIGINALLY HAD MY SENSORS REPLACED FOR THE RECALL.

THE PASSENGER WINDOWS SUDDENLY FAILED TO OPERATE EITHER FROM THE DRIVER CONTROL 0R THE PASSENGER CONTROL. ALL FUSES AND RELAYS CHECKED OUT. I HAVE GOGGLED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT OTHER HONDA OWNERS OF OTHER MODELS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM .IT WAS CONCLUDED BY MANY THAT THE CULPRIT WAS THE MASTER CONTROL SWITCH.. SOME JURY RIGGED THE SYSTEM OTHERS PAID $500 TO REPLACE THE SWITCH. T.HE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST RECOGNIZED.

Mileage: 73,000

PASSENGER AND BOTH BACK WINDOWS JUST STOPPED WORKING. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IN THE PUBLIC FORUMS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF HONDA ACCORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR THAT IS THE ISSUE.

Mileage: 120,000

THIS IS THE THIRD DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON THIS CAR THAT HAS FAILED. I KNOW THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION AGAINST HONDA FOR LATER MODEL YEAR ACTUATORS BUT IT DID NOT ENCOMPASS 2006. THE SAFETY PROBLEM IS THAT IF A PERSON WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE LOCKED CAR IN A HURRY THE ELECTRICAL LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON WOULDN'T UNLOCK THE CAR. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED TO THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, THEN IN 2009 THE RIGHT REAR FAILED AND NOW IN 2015 THE RIGHT FRONT FAILED. I THINK BECAUSE OF THE FREQUENCY OF FAILURE THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM POSSIBLY AN EXTENSION OF THE DESIGN PROBLEMS THAT LEAD TO THE LATER MODEL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURES.

I WAS TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF 35 MPH IN LOW TRAFFIC WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP AND MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON AND STEERING BECAME REALLY TIGHT. I DRIFTED TO A STOP AND SWITCHED THE CAR OFF THEN ON. IT RESTARTED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE LIGHT THEN WENT OFF. TWO WEEKS BEFORE THIS THE CAR CUT OFF AS I WAS BACKING OUT MY DRIVEWAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO TIRES PLUS THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE A COMPUTER ERROR. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS. ITS SEEMS AS IF THE CAR IS DESIGN TO CUT OFF AS TO ALERT ME SOMETHING IS WRONG; HOWEVER, THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF IT CUT OFF BEFORE IT IS PUT IN GEAR. ONCE I START MOVING THIS PUTS ME IN GREAT DANGER OF BEING RAN OVER AND KILLED. THE OUT COME OF THIS DESIGN COULD BE FATAL FOR ME AND MANY MORE EXPERIENCING THIS. WALSH HONDA OF MACON, GA ALSO FOUND THE CODES TO BE ERRONEOUS. *TR

I WAS IN PARK PROCEEDED TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE INSTEAD OF BACKING UP, THE CAR KEPT MOVING IN A SEMI - CIRCLE, THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF CONTROL. THUS, I ATTEMPTED TO BRING THE CAR TO A HALT BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKES, HOWEVER, THE BRAKE PEDAL CEASED TO WORK AND DID NOT STOP THE CAR FROM BEING IN MOTION. IN CLOSING, THE CAR LOST CONTROL WENT ABOUT 100FT. OR MORE TILL IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AT THE END OF THE PARKING LOT. LASTLY, THE CAR IS AT COAST HONDA, HOWEVER, I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING THEY COULD DO TO REPAIR THE CAR. MY CONCERN IS IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHAT IF ANYTHING CAN I DO TO PREVENT THIS?

THE PROBLEM WAS THE RIGHT HORN BROKE, THE LEFT WORKED FINE. IT WAS ABOUT $120 FOR DIAG, PARTS, AND LABOR WHICH I HAD TO DO BUT AM ASKING HONDA TO CONSIDER THIS TO BE COVERED SINCE A 3 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE SOMETHING BASIC BREAK SO SOON, CLEARLY IT WAS A DEFECTIVE PART.
