Our 2005 Honda Accord has several problems that the dealer won't fix and Honda America will not do anything about.

1) Fuel pump relay chatter when ignition key is turned. They say it's normal for all models except one. If they can get it right for one model, why not recall the rest and fix'em? I'm just waiting to get stuck somewhere miles from home because the relay cooked.

2) Braking from a slow roll, like at the end of your driveway, snaps your neck so hard it could cause whiplash. Several tries to get it fixed by the dealer which said it was normal. Ha! I drove another '05, same model, same everything, and it didn't do it. Finally they did something and it went away temporarily. Honda America stands by the dealer.

3) The A/C takes forever to cool off. This has been like that since we bought it new. Our '96 Accord with 260,000 miles cools way better. Honda America stands by the dealer, who says, you guessed it, "It's normal for this car."

Well, I have news - I and my extended family have owned 67 Hondas since 1984. Currently we own 12 collectively. We have all agreed not to ever buy another Honda. They just don't get it. We'll try Toyota next.
