This car picks up so much road noise its a joke.Engine light comes on constantly.{small repair after another}. The 2.4 four cyl uses oil to the tune of 3 qrts in 4000 mile oil changes.CD sticks in player so often that i gave up and just left one in.{would not come out no matter what i tried} Thought the gas mileage would be alot better than 23 highway. Power steering line started leaking fluid on exhaust had to replace line.Had to replace rotors on front and back, had to replace complete exhaust system,also seat belt light stays on constantly.All of this in the first 9 months of ownership. Update now I have had to replace both rear brake calipers and oil consumption has increased to a qrt every 600 miles! Forgot to mention the passenger side taillight assembly fills with water every time it rains! My first honda will probably be my last one. So sad that they would put such a piece of junk out to consumers and not recall them { all 03 accords}. April 8 2019 another update on this junk hunk. Oil consumption has increased to a quart each 300 miles! This car does not leak oil, does not smoke, and it does not lack for power,was reading other reviews on the 03 accord and someother owner indicated there may be a petition around to sign to pressure honda into recalling this wonderful piece of engineering and removing the black eye they have given consumers. April 13 2020 update on this 03 accord. Now in the past 3 months the clear coat has started peeling off on front bumper and hood. Still consuming oil but still gets me where i want to go ( just have to hold my breath and pray).

Car was purchased new. After five dealer visits, a service bulletin was found regarding clunking and creaking noises from the car's underbody. A number of BODY WELDS were apparently MISSED AT THE FACTORY. The car is now being serviced by a body shop for spot welding the defect areas. There are also noises from something loose in the driver's seat. This has yet to be fixed. Face plate on Sound System needed to be replaced as it came loose. Car has some door rattles.

looking at having a 3rd engine installed with only 24,000 miles and they say my warranty won't cover it.

Serious problems, fast idle when cold, car runs at 20 mph with foot off the gas pedal. Dealer can't fix. Gas milage is at 23-24 mpg, again they can't fix. This is my first Honda, I think it will be my last. After looking at the NHSTA site,others are having problems as well (including airbags that don't work on impact). I'm more than a little concerned with the quality of this car. Suggest you do a lot of research before buying. Appears to have a rotten egg smell that enters the drivers compartment, nasty.

The background display has gone out and no clock display. Seat belt light stays on continually. Other owners at different websites have reported the same problem. Very expensive to fix. I also own a 2009 Accord and I think I better sell it before problems arise. It feels less reliable than 2003.
