My V6 Minivan (Mazda MPV) or even my 1990 Corolla has much predictable movement.
I tried turning OFF the VSA on Accord to see if that's somehow causing it, but that didn't help.
It certainly takes more cranks to start the car, again compared to my other vehicles.
About the Gas millage: Haven't refilled the tank after picking it up from dealer yet, but at 200 miles, the tank is already at the quarter.
Haven't noticed any side pulling yet though.
Overall NOT much impressed with Honda.
Good luck with your purchase.
FYI - on the Honda paint problem, I had bird droppings bubble the paint on my trunk right down to the primer. My car was still under warranty and I did get the dealer to repaint the entire trunk of the car.
Good luck!

Do you know where I can find any Official Honda Documentation about this Accord Tranny "Feature"?
I searched web but couldn't find it explained anywhere. Instead found a few other web-sites where people have complained and are really annoyed about the same problem.
I drive a lot on local roads, and this feature really makes it difficult to drive at low speed. Normally when I see a red light from far, I take my foot of the gas, and expect the car to continue at the (almost) same speed, up to the signal, where I can use brakes. But now I have to apply gas for longer time till I am really near the signal before applying the brakes. Thus I am saving breaks at the expense of extra gas. :confuse:
If this was really a good thing, I imagine that Honda would have advertised it and put it on Window Sticker as a Brake Saving Feature. Also normally the good features are copied by the industry. Are you aware of any other cars with this feature?
Touch up bottles work OK to protect the chip from further rust (ya got to catch them quickly), but there will always be signs of it being repaired, esp if you color is metallic.

Also, in reference to number of starts:
My dad has had an 03 and an 05 Accord (4-cyl), and I have a 2006. All three take longer to crank than my old 96 with 156,000 miles. It's not an issue, just a different starter.
Did you mean here and forward?

The automatic transmission Service Bulletin was issued July 1, 2004 for second gear inspection of all 2003 V6 Accords and specific VIN ranges of 2004 V6 Accords.

Owners of the affected vehicles would have been sent a recall notice letter.
*Common "rubbing alcohol" is only around 80% strength. Nothing in principle wrong with that, but these products also often contain lanolin (sheep-wool fat extract) to prevent skin dryness. While lanolin won't damage the screen face, it does tend to leave a "smeary" apearance as well as act as a "dust magnet".
When I press the trip computer once, it shows trip B and when i press it again, it shows outside temperature and trip A and when i press it again, it shows oil life%.
Before the longdrive, oillife showed 100%. After the trip its showing 90%.
At what percent should I take it back to the dealer for an oilchange ?
I checked the servicemanual and I dont think there is anything specified in that.

The owner's manual suggests at 15% that you should schedule an appointment. The oil life monitor works by counting your rpms since last service. After reaching a set # it drops incrementally by 10% at a time, so that 100% = 100-91%; 90% = 90-81% and so on. My car has 3400 miles on it and is displaying 50% oil life. If you drive harder (revving more) you will reach 15% quicker than if you don't rev much (logistics prove that point = less rpms per mile and hour = less revs for total miles).
Problem is, I open the hood and have no idea where it is supposed to go! I know this isn't a hard question: can someone give me a clue, or direct me to a URL that illustrates on a step-by-step basis how you change out the air filter on this car?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

After having that replaced and the other brakes serviced, as part of a regularly scheduled maintenance visit, I now have my rear brakes squeaking when I hit the brakes (not due to weather, nor is it the first braking action of the day). I have 25K on it.
Take Honda Service Bulletin 04-037 to your dealer and have them look up the latest information, since this is a preliminary version.

You may not be able to purchase a HondaCare extended warranty now.
Since you are questioning whether your father's 2005 Accord pedal is functioning correctly, why doesn't he take it to a Honda dealer's service department for his potential warranty question?
