We are selling our beloved 2004 Honda Accord (EX with leather seats/front seats have seat warmers). I must say, we really don't want to, but we have a new member in the family and find that we need something a little bigger. We purchased this vehicle new from the dealership and have cared for it since it's purchase. This car runs great, and looks great. The car is 9 years old, and has several small door dings, which I tried to include with the pictures, but they are so small I don't know if they can be seen. There is also a small crack in the front bumper, from when a car in front of us kicked up a small metal plate. It didn't puncture the bumper, but did crack it. If it were not so cold out when it happened, I don't think it would of cracked at all. The car handles great in the winter and in the rain. It is fully loaded (with the exception of a navigation system). Here is the history of our car.

Several years (I believe 2006) after we purchased the vehicle, the head liner began to sag in the bag seat. The car was taken back to the dealership for repair. After the repair, we found they had dripped glue on the rear seat and the seatbelt straps, which faded the color. Of course we took it back for repair, which they fixed (I believe they died the material to match).

In roughly 2009, we had approx. 65000 mile on the car. While driving to work, the engine began making a funny noise. I pulled over and had it towed to our repair shop. We learned that we had a piston seized. Needless to say we were upset. We had the oil changed every 5,000 miles. Come to find out (we believe), the place we were having it done was using recycled oil. The business that had been doing our oil changes went out of business. We had to decide what to do, rebuild the engine or replace the engine. We decide that replacing the engine was the best choice. We purchased an engine that had about 47,000 miles on it. We have had no issues since then. We have the oil changed every 5,000 miles and use synthetic oil.

We put a new battery in roughly March of 2012, and had new brake/rotors in 2012. The oil was just changed 2 weeks ago. I just had the tires rotated this week at the Goodyear Center (the tires are Goodyear Assurance, P205/60R16). I have the paper work showing the tires have 7/32" tread (which they said was about 70% tread left). While washing the car, I saw that there was a small paint chip on the lower left front bumper. I bought some touch up paint and touched it up. You can barely see it. I also touched up several small stone chip on the hood and bumper.

The last issue we have had is the airbag light has came on several times, then goes off. I have taken it in to the dealer twice to have them figure it out. And of course the light turns off, so they can not read the code. Last week, while it was on, I researched this on-line. On a forum it suggested that I buckle the driver seatbelt before starting the car, and if the light goes off, then it has something to do with the seatbelt. It also said that if you unbuckle the seatbelt while it is running, and the light comes back on, it is a faulty seatbelt. So I tried this, and sure enough the light went off and back on when unbuckled. I headed to the dealership to have it fixed. And of course, the light is back off so they can not code it. I have been told by several people to not try to repair the system myself, it is easy to cause more damage. And frankly it is something I wouldn't want to try and fix myself. I have been assured by several people that if the airbag light is off, that the airbag will deploy when needed. If the light comes back on prior to selling it, I will again try and get it to the dealership for repair. The forum I read stated that there is a federal mandate for lifetime warranty of seatbelts.

I may have to use this vehicle a few times until it is sold, so the mileage will be a little higher, but no more then 250 miles. You are welcome to have the vehicle inspected, and you can test drive the vehicle. The dealership offer we had was STUPID, and they told me "to be honest you can get more if you sell it yourself". Please know this is a used car, 9 years old. There is no warranty, and is sold as is. But remember this is the flagship for Honda, and after all it is a HONDA. I will assist with having it shipped, which will be the buyer responsibility to arrange. I will work with the buyer if they decide to fly in and drive it home. I would not hesitate to drive this car to South America. We average about 26 mpg (combine city/highway).

The car comes with 2 sets of keys/key pads, and the valet key. The car has a remote start installed, and we have 2 remote starts pads as well. Please ask any questions. A $500 deposit is requested within 48 hrs. after close of auction. Deliver/possession can be made after funds have cleared the bank. We have a clear Michigan title. We reserve the right to end the auction early, due to vehicle be available for sale locally. Please do not send funds FED EX or UPS. I will only except payment by (if certified check is mailed) the United States Postal Service, which helps protect the buyer and seller.

On Jun-10-13 at 12:37:38 PDT, seller added the following information:

I have the car at the dealership and they have ordered the parts to fix the problem, which was the seatbelt. Will be ready tomorrow. Also the sunroof is a power operated moonroof.

Takata allegedly hid failed airbag rupture tests in 2000

Mon, Feb 15 2016

New evidence suggests Takata engineers knew about the dangers of the supplier's ammonium-nitrate-propelled airbag inflators as early as 2000, but employees hid or even destroyed test results. The allegations came out in a pre-trial hearing in a civil suit from a woman who claims that a forcefully deploying airbag in her 2001 Honda Civic paralyzed her. The pre-trial hearing included an examination of a deposition from Thomas Sheridan, a former Takata airbag engineer, to see if the evidence was admissible for the case, according to the New York Times. Sheridan alleged that Takata created a report for Honda in June 2000 that showed the parts failed, but the supplier hid the testing data. The company also reportedly got rid of the ruptured components so that there was no physical evidence. "But when I went to look for the parts, because some of the parts had come apart, they were no longer available. They had been discarded," he said in the deposition, according to the Times. Takata disputes these allegations, and one of the company's lawyers asserts the inflators in the 2001 Civic are safe. "None of them have ruptured, zero," attorney David M. Bernick told the Times. "We have no evidence, in fact we have evidence to the contrary, that this inflator was defective at the time of the accident." However, Honda has recalls for the driver's side airbag in the 2001-2005 Civic. Previous reports also indicated some Takata employees allegedly knew the inflators were dangerous. For example, an investigation by the Wall Street Journal in 2015 cited internal memos from US employees in 2000 that complained that their counterparts in Japan altered or hid the results of failed validation tests. The New York Times also found evidence of engineers joking about manipulating results. The first Takata inflator recall came on Isuzu models in 2001, and automakers have recalled millions of vehicles around the world since then. Several companies, including Honda, have pledged to stop using Takata's inflators, and he US government fined the supplier $70 million last year. Related Video:

Honda recalls more than 750,000 vehicles to fix faulty seat air bag sensor

Tue, Feb 6 2024

DETROIT — Honda is recalling more than three quarters of a million vehicles in the U.S. because a faulty sensor may cause the front passenger air bags to inflate when they're not supposed to. The recall covers certain Honda Pilot, Accord, Civic sedan, HR-V and Odyssey models from the 2020 through 2022 model years, as well as the 2020 Fit and Civic Coupe. Also included are the 2021 and 2022 Civic hatchback, the 2021 Civic Type R and Insight, and the 2020 and 2021 CR-V, CR-V Hybrid, Passport, Ridgeline and Accord Hybrid. Affected models from the Acura luxury brand include the 2020 and 2022 MDX, the 2020 through 2022 RDX and the 2020 and 2021 TLX. Documents posted Tuesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say that the front passenger seat weight sensor may crack and short circuit, and fail to turn off the air bag as intended. The sensors are required to disable the air bags if children or small adults are in the seats. If that doesn't happen, it increases the risk of injury. Dealers will replace the seat sensors at no cost to owners. Owners will be notified starting March 18. Honda says in documents that it has 3,834 warranty claims but no reports of injuries or deaths from the problem between June 30, 2020 and Jan. 19 of this year.

James Glickenhaus' SCG 003 undisguised in street and track form

Fri, Feb 27 2015

For James Glickenhaus buying a factory-made supercar isn't good enough; he wants to develop his own. Following up on the Ferrari Enzo-based P4/5 and later the P4/5 Competition, Glickenhaus' latest project is appropriately called the 003, and he's finally displaying it in road trim. These first undisguised photos of the SCG 003S show off a supercar with a front end reminiscent of a Ferrari Enzo. However, the rear evokes the look of a modern endurance racer with a fin running along the spine. A wing at the back connects it all together, and the massive diffuser should keep things planted too. Development of the 003 has been going for over a year by Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, but the company has set quite a challenge for itself to get just right. Glickenhaus wants his latest project to be a true racecar for the street. That idea gets thrown around a lot, but it might be true in this case. In motorsports trim, the SCG 003C (pictured inset) packs a mid-mounted Honda Performance Development twin-turbocharged V6, but the engine sits in a detachable rear subframe. When the time comes for the road, the car converts to the SCG 003S and allegedly swaps in a twin-turbo W12. It makes the vehicle the best of both worlds – at least in theory. SCG reportedly plans to show the 003 at the Geneva Motor Show, so we should get a better look then. Glickenhaus also wants to take the car racing in the 24-hour events at the Nurburgring and Spa later this year.
