TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE STATIONARY AND DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT RECORD THE PROPER SPEED/MILEAGE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THE BATTERY LIFE OF THE VEHICLE LASTED SIX MONTHS OR LESS. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 185,736.

FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH...RECURRENT INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. FAILS TO START. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING OFF AND ON FOR YEARS. SOMETIMES THE KEY SENSOR SENSES A KEY IN THE IGNITION WHEN A KEY ISN'T INSERTED, THUS A BEEPING SOUND WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED EVEN IF THE KEY IS NOT IN THE IGNITION. CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS. *TR

I HAVE A 1996 HONDA ACCORD WHICH WAS SUDDENLY STALLING WITH ALL THE POWER DOWN FOR FEW MINUTES. AFTER FEW TESTS MY MECHANIC SAID THE PROBLEM IS WITH IGNITION KEY SWITCH. AFTER SPENDING $600 PLUS THE PROBLEM STOPPED. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT FOR MODEL YEAR 1997 ONWARDS FOR THE SAME CAR. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE WERE LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE MODEL YEAR 1996 WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM BUT WHOSE CAR WERE NOT RECALLED AND FIXED BY HONDA. SO I THINK HONDA SHOULD ALL INCLUDE THE MODEL YEAR 1996 FOR RECALL OR REIMBURSE PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHOSE CAR WERE NOT RECALLED AND WHO ENDED UP SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. HONDA SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED MODEL YEAR 1996 ALONG WITH OTHER YEAR FOR RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING MY 96 ACCORD AT 45 MPH ON A SPRING DAY AND IT SHUT OFF AS THOUGH I HAD TURNED THE KEY OFF. IT WOULD RESTART FOR AS LONG AS THE KEY WAS HELD IN THE "START" POSITION, BUT AS SOON AS THE KEY WAS RELEASED (TO NORMAL OPERATING POSITION) IT WOULD DIE. THE CAUSE WAS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WHICH I HAD REPLACED BY A REPAIR TECHNICIAN. WHILE I FORTUNATELY SUFFERED NO HARM, HAD IT HAPPENED TRAVELING UPHILL OR THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. *TR

HONDA ACCORD 1996, WINDOWS AUTOMATICALLY OPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT OCCUPIED, BUT IS PARKED AND LOCKED. UPON RETURN, HONDA ACCORD WINDOWS ARE OPEN TO HALF WAY. THIS CREATES A DANGER FOR THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AS IF PARKED WHEN THERE IS NO DAYLIGHT, SOMEONE COULD ENTER THE VEHICLE UNKNOWN TO THE DRIVER, OR CARJACKING COULD OCCUR DUE TO EASY ENTRY TO VEHICLE AS WELL AS CAR THEFT TO INTERIOR OF VEHICLE AND TRUNK OF VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HONDA AND STATED ANSWER IS - WHEN KEY IS CLICKED MORE THEN ONCE, THIS WILL CAUSE WINDOWS TO OPEN, EVEN WHEN OWNER IS INDOORS AND ACCIDENTALLY HITS THE KEY. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. *TR

1996 HONDA ACCORD. DRIVING ON FREEWAY ON THE THIRD LINE. SUDDENLY CAR LIGHTS ON THE FRONT PANEL TURN ON. ENGINE STOPPED. CAR SLOWED DOWN AND ALMOST WAS HIT BY A TRUCK ON THE REAR OF THE CAR. FELT LIKE THE TRUCK WOULD READ END MY CAR AND THAT WAS THE DAY TO DIE. EMERGENCY LIGHTS WERE TURN ON. WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING, THE ENGINE STARTED AFTER SO TRYING SO MAN TIMES AND GOT CAR OUT OF THE FREEWAY. AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE CAR LIGHTS CAME ON AND ENGINE STOPPED WORKING. A TOW TRUCK TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A IGNITION ELECTRICAL SWITCHED IS BAD FAULTY. *TR
