2004 Honda Accord ex review from North America
"Overpriced rattle box"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission jerks when shifting from first to second gear.
Interior rattles everywhere!
Very strong vibration when AC is on. Dealer did not know what to do. They claim it's normal.
Now there is a major transmission recall from Honda. Dealer would not offer a loaner.
General comments?
Poorly built car overall.
Why does family sedan have sport tuned suspension? It's way too stiff! It also contributes to numerous interior rattles.
