What are the common problems in Used Honda Accord 2003-04?
There are two main problems with the earlier 7th generation (03-04) accord models. The first one is with the LCD display on the radio module going dark due to the faulty chip. Without the display it’s really hard to operate the controls such as audio operations, ac/heater etc. The second one is with the automatic transmission on the V-6 models (only) due to the insufficient lubrication on the second gear. But, honda has acknowledged this problems and extended its warranty to 100,000 miles or 7 yrs. So if you buy a car that has under 100,000 miles, the honda dealership will fix these problems for free. For the radio, they will replace the circuit board and for the transmission, they will install new lubrications kit. But if there is enough damage on the transmission already, they’ll tell you to replace the whole transmission. You might have to pay a part of it. And as for your other questions, the signs of tranny problems is the slipping of gears which causes the engine to rev high.
