| The air conditioning on my 2005 honda accord stopped working...took it to a mechanic and he said after trying to recharge the system that the condensor had a puncture on it. upon researching this mishap i find that quite a few other people have had this kind of thing happen to them because the condensor is not protected...it is completely exposed and can be damaged quite easily...honda should provide a retrofit....maybe a screen of some type...and reimburse drivers of their vehicles for the cost of replacing the condensor..... | |||

| Honda's failure to disclose that a spare tire is not standard equipment on its 2005 accord hybrid put my and my family's lives in danger. we first learned of the situation when my husband had a flat tire. honda then told us that a retro-fit was available. before parts arrived, i experienced a blow out on an out-of-state high speed thoroughfare at night. two police cars and a tow truck were required to transport us to the safety of a motel. another 6 weeks passed before honda had the parts to retro-fit the vehicle at my expense. honda assumes no liability for this situation. *tr | |||

| Radio reception. we have the accord with the satellite/radio combination with a cd player. the antenna is located in the rear window. the radio reception, in either am or fm is unacceptable. the local honda garage has offered to replace the radio but insists that the problem is in the antenna design. the reception is terrible. stations that are easily heard in other vehicles we own or have owned is simply much better. this is annoying at best. i would not have purchased this vehicle had i known the radio reception was so bad.*jb | |||

| While driving in the middle of a heat wave, the air conditioning in my 2005 honda accord hybrid had stopped blowing cold air. i had only had my car for three months, so i was confused at why my air conditioning had gone out. i took the car to a mechanic who told me that a rock had hit and damaged the ac condenser, causing the freon gas to leak from the condenser. he said that the condenser is located in front of the radiator and because of its location is will always be exposed to debris while driving. the condenser can be seen through the large holes of the vent at the front of the car. the mechanic gave me a $750 estimate for the part and labor. since the car is a newer model, there are not old parts available. he also informed me that because the car was not designed to protect the condenser, that it is very likely that the part will be damaged again and again. this part is not covered by the warranty and i cannot afford to pay $750 every time this occurs. *tr | |||

| I bought my brand new 2005 accord ex in october of 2004. i had the car for no more than a few weeks when the right rear speaker blew out. i took it back to honda and they replaced it with a new speaker. not even a week later, the same speaker blew out again. i took it back to honda and complained. a honda representative came and checked out the car. not only did they deny me the repair, but the women who looked at the car said the speaker was not blown and that it was most likely the cd's that i was playing. meanwhile, i don't really use my cd player and i hear the popping noise from my speaker when i am playing the radio. i filed a complaint with the bbb and hopefully i will get this fixed. i am extremely disappointed with the honda corporation. *ak | |||

| The jacks that honda provide for its 2005 honda is not safe the system is a knuckle busting experierience and the jack will not hold the vehicle. it takes a lot longer to move the damaged tire from the vehicle. why is it not a law that all car manufacturers are required to use a full size spare and a floor style jack i work in the automotive field and i know how to use a jack. *ak | |||
