2004 Honda Accord Review: A Sporty, Powerful V6 Makes it Easy to Ignore Those Airbag Recalls

Gilbert Smith
Jan 25, 2023

The 2004 Honda Accord is affordable, famously reliable, cheap to maintain, and fun to drive. But, buyer beware, there are no fewer than 11 airbag recalls on file, with complaints still rolling in.

Front angle view.
likeFilled The Good
One of the most affordable ways to get behind the wheel of a 240 horsepower V6, the 2004 Honda Accord is sporty, efficient, and fun to drive.
dislikeFilled The Bad
22 recalls is a lot, and 11 of them are for the airbags. The Accord is pretty safe for a twenty year old car, but that long list of airbag problems may have some drivers feeling anxious.

Is the 2004 Honda Accord a Good Used Car?

  • Overall Rating 8/10 – The 2004 Accord is one of the sportiest and most reliable cars you’re going to find in this price range.
  • Interior, Comfort & Cargo 8/10 – The Accord’s interior space is limited only by its size class. If you want something roomier than this, get a full-size or an SUV.
  • Reliability 8/10 – The engine and transmission will likely pass 250,000 miles, but expect to replace a lot of little things like window switches and AC compressors on the way there.
  • Safety 6/10 – Excellent crash test ratings combined with dated safety tech and lots of airbag recalls add up to a mediocre safety score.
  • Gas Mileage 8/10 – The V6 model gets 24/30 miles to the gallon, city/highway, which is really good for such an old car.
  • Value 8/10 – The Accord is a great deal, but the Camry is a slightly better value if you’re after a 2004 mid-size.

A honda motor will run forever. The only other car that has been comparable was my first car which was a pontiac grand am, I've been pretty lucky with cars and would recommend mine to anyone.
It currently has 287,000 miles on it and runs like new. It has been reliable and it is perfect size for me. Do not really have anything to complain about it.

It's very reliable.. Gets appt 400 highway miles to the tank and the best part that saved me from not only The hospital back from being in severe pain my whole life. When I was T-bones on the driver side the door on most cars wide crumple into you. My car has two steel rods in it and I walked out with no injuries at all because of those two steel beams. I don't know how many cars have them I'm sure a bunch do but that one pretty much save my life
I have a black 2004 Honda Accord Coupe manual transmission, 4 cyl. Even tho it's a 4cyl it def has that umph. After being t boned and getting my car back together with no fender a spray painted door and dents near my driver wheel well I still wanted to keep this car because.. I haven't had a single mechanical problem with it and I'd rather be in a dependable Honda Accord with some imperfections than a car I have no idea about

Hondas are dependable cars. But once a car goes past 10 years, things start to get more expensive.
I love my dependable Honda but she's now 14 years old and starting to COST me money in rather large fixes.

You can count on a Honda to last not only for years, but with higher mileage than other brand name cars.
I love my 2004 Honda Accord, the fact that is has over 250,000 miles on it and still runs well. I maintain the car with proper care. I dislike that as the car has aged certain features are not working like they did when the car was new.

Suspension on this car is a big issue. In fact Honda Accords from 2002-2008 have the most suspension problems. Can be an everyday car if kept up with maintenance. Oil changes and transmission fluids are important to watch. Winter time comes make sure breaks and tires are safe.

Needs lots of repairs. It's older so it has been through more than you can imagine but it's still a good running car. You know it's hard to get rid of your first car. It's bittersweet. Sometimes I just want to get rid of it then other days I want someone to pimp my ride. Most windows don't work. But heat & air does. Door has big dent & sunroof works whenever. Seat needs a new motor

What Do Critics Say About the 2004 Honda Accord?

Consumer Reports were impressed with the quiet, comfortable ride and snappy acceleration found in the 2004 Accord, praising the car as an improvement over the 2003 edition.

Kelley Blue Book users have few complaints, raving about the V6 engine, the long lifespan, and the low maintenance costs. A handful of drivers have had some problems with the window switches and door locks, but you’ll have a hard time finding owners with major mechanical problems.

Edmunds liked the build quality, quiet cabin, powerful engines, high crash test scores, and the Accord’s reputation for reliability. They were less excited about the handling, which they called tepid, saying that it doesn’t quite live up to the sporty feel of the 240 horsepower V6.

What Common Problems Does the 2004 Honda Accord Have?

There are 341 powertrain complaints on file at present, with quite a few drivers reporting that they missed a 2004 transmission recall. Check the VIN and make sure that you’re buying a car that’s already had this problem taken care of. Honda will still pay for the transmission repairs covered in the recall, but any further damages may be on you.

A recurring problem with the airbags may be worrying for some drivers. In total there have been 11 airbags recalls, 242 complaints (as recently as late 2022), and 4 investigations, 2 of which are still open.

With 139 complaints on file, electrical problems claim a distant third place. Many of these are for blinking airbag warning lights, but we’re also seeing reports of navigation system bugs, windshield wiper failure, and radios going on the fritz. These issues aren’t common enough to constitute a major problem, but as you suffer more wear and tear you should expect the electrical accessories to be the first things to go.

The 2004 Accord has 22 recalls on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, plus 994 complaints. 22 recalls is a bit high for any car, especially a Honda, but it’s better to have a lot of recalls than it is to have a lot of problems that were never recalled.

How Long Will the 2004 Honda Accord Last?

With decent care, Accords are typically reported to last a minimum of 250,000 miles before the transmission gives out. Plenty of drivers shoot right past 300,000 miles with no major issues, but you can never be so sure of how well the previous owner maintained the vehicle, so 250,000 should be the number you’re keeping in mind when weighing the cost of a used Accord.

RepairPal estimate an annual maintenance cost of $400, with new balance shaft drive belts being the most expensive common fix, starting at $418.

accountCircle Eddie C

I have only had to take the car in to be looked at once, when there was an obvious leak somewhere in the power steering line, but otherwise J have had no problems with it.

accountCircle Allen L

Yes this car is reliable. And no it does not have any problems. I got it used so it had a few things wrong with it. But I got them fixed and now it's a good car.

accountCircle Jeff H

We have had little to no problems for this car, just standard tune ups oil change and battery changed even with over 250k miles

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is generous for 2004, if dated by modern standards. The entry level DX comes with a CD player, which wasn’t always a standard feature back then.

Safety technology is the same story: generous but dated. Anti-lock brakes and full airbags are about as fancy as it gets here.

Is the 2004 Honda Accord a Good Value?

The 2004 Honda Accord is an excellent value. There are cheaper mid-size cars available from this model year, and some of them even match Honda for longevity and reliability. But none of them deliver 240 horsepower at a typical listing price of around $5,869.

Inline-four models are available at under $5,000, but at that price point the competing Camry arguably delivers a better value. What really make the Accord a great deal is that it gets you a sporty 3.0L for under six thousand bucks.

What are the Different Models of the 2004 Honda Accord?

The 2004 Honda Accord is available in three trim levels, from the entry-level DX to the top-of-the-line EX, with each being offered in a sedan or coupe body type.

The base DX gets you:

  • Cloth seating
  • AM/FM stereo with CD player
  • Power windows and door locks

The mid-range LX adds:

  • Remote keyless entry
  • Cruise control
  • Optional 8-way power adjust driver seat
  • Optional steering wheel mounted audio controls
  • 6 speakers Manual air conditioning

With the high-end EX you’re adding:

  • Power sunroof
  • Optional leather trim
  • Optional heated front seats
  • Touch-by-voice navigation system
  • Six-disc CD changer
  • Automatic dual zone air conditioning

What Engines Come In the 2004 Honda Accord?

  • The base engine found in the DX trim is a 2.4L inline-four delivering 160 horsepower and 161 lb.-ft. of torque. This is paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission and configured in front wheel drive, averaging 26/34 miles to the gallon, city/highway.
  • Optional in the LX and EX models, the real star of the show is a 3.0L V6 delivering 240 horsepower and 212 lb.-ft. of torque. This is paired to a 5-speed automatic and configured in front wheel drive, and averages 24/30 miles to the gallon.

What Colors Does the 2004 Honda Accord Come In?

How Comfortable Is the 2004 Honda Accord?

The 2004 Accord is very comfortable. You’ve got to search far and wide to find someone who has any complaints about the spacious seating, roomy interior, and smooth riding suspension. You’ve got 54.6 inches of hip room, which is enough for most adults to sit three to the back row, but schedule some stretch-breaks if you’re going on a long trim.

Your biggest concern in a twenty year old is going to be that the suspension may have rusted through by now, and that could have you feeling every crack and pebble in the road. In other words: Don’t skip the test drive. Hit a couple speed bumps and make sure the car doesn’t wobble around like a slinky.

How Much Storage Space Does the 2004 Honda Accord Have?

The coupe offers 12.8 cubic feet of storage space while the sedan offers 14 cubic feet. That’s enough for three large suitcases, or three large suitcases and a carry-on bag or two. In short, you’ve got about as much space as you can reasonably expect of a mid-size car, but don’t go looking for seats that fold down or anything.

Centered wide dash shot

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The 2004 Honda Accord was the second year of the car’s 7th Generation.

2003: The 7th Generation launched with a whole new build, with the sedan standing an extra inch in the wheelbase, and the sedan and coupe both getting an extra inch in width.

2004: The 2004 Accord saw side curtain airbags added as a standard feature, but no major changes beyond that.

2005: New wheel covers and illuminated controls led a host of new design changes for 2005.

2006: Honda modernized the Accord’s appearance for 2006 with integrated LED brake lights and brand new bumper fascias and grilles.

How Does the 2004 Honda Accord Compare to the Competition?

The Accord’s closest competitor for 2004 was, predictably, the Toyota Camry. Both are known for their longevity and low cost of ownership. The Camry has far fewer recalls on file for 2004 and it’s a better value overall, but the V6 option is about thirty horses weaker than the Accord’s.

Coming in third is the Nissan Sentra, which tends to list at about half the price of an EX Accord, and which is known for its stiff seating, wobbly suspension, cramped interior, and cheap overall build. You can save a few thousand bucks buying a Sentra, but you’ll know why you got such a good deal on it every time you hit a pothole.

The Accord and Camry are clearly the best mid-size cars of 2004, and it’s not easy picking a winner. The Accord is certainly the sportier of the two, and the most fun to drive, but the Camry just edges it out for overall value and reliability.

A few errors in the cold months.
The car runs well, save for normal wear and tear. There have been a few issues that we haven't been able to determine the cause of, or get fixed. When the car is on put in park, it gets very loud and a little jittery, and it is especially bad in the cold months. It does not appear to be a performance issue, but the cause has so far eluded us and our mechanic. Also in the cold months, after switching gears from reverse to drive, the car will not move for a moment. Pressing on the gas does nothing at this time, and you essentially just have to wait a moment with your foot held on the break. It only takes a moment to fully switch to drive and start working, but it is concerning if you do not know why the car is not moving at first.

The Honda Accord is a great car. It is the only car I have ever owned and will probably be the only car I choose to buy in the future. The design is great, it handles well, the interior is comfortable and spacious, it provides excellent gas mileage, and it is a really fun car to drive.
My vehicle is a four-door Honda Accord sedan with adjustable, heated leather seats, a moonroof, and a V6 engine. It has a six CD changer and an analog dashboard. I love that my car provides a smooth ride and it is comfortable. It has a decent room capacity, meaning I can fit up to five people inside of it, though I don't know that I would say it would be very comfortable. The trunk is very spacious, and the back seats fold down to provide more room, which I think is a great feature. As much as I love having a V6 engine because I love to drive and I think it handles well, I also feel that this car doesn't have the excellent gas mileage my 2001 Accord had with It's V4 engine. Also, I find the interior hard to clean because it is leather.

First Honda that I have owned and I am very pleased with the car.
Purchased used about 6 years ago. Has over 200,000 miles. It is very comfortable to drive and is not tiring to take on long drives. It has a large trunk. The screen for the GPS quit working about two years ago and it is too expensive to replace. I do the minor maintenance. The timing belt was changed about 3 years ago. I mostly use it to buzz around town and run errands. I like to ease of replacing the ignition packs. It is a four door so it is easy to take others along but my mother in law who lives with us can no longer get in and out of it. We use the sienna for her. It sounds like it will need a new muffler soon. It has proven to be a dependable car, but do not take it to a dealer for repair as they really love to up sale you on everything and everything they sell is expensive. Even though I use to live in a rural area I had not problem finding a mechanic that could work on it.

Most reliable vehicle owned.
My Honda has been extremely reliable and is still performing well after 15 years. It has only been involved in one wreck, and withstood a powerful jolt (when a large SUV plowed into the driver's side front and rear doors) without moving an inch. The glass in the windows performed exactly as they should have, and I was unhurt. At about year 12, the a/c was replaced, but that has been the only major expenditure. I believe an alternator was replaced once; otherwise, the car has only required routine maintenance - tires, batteries and fluids, etc. This Honda is now and always has been very comfortable and responsive. If and/or when I purchase another vehicle,, Honda will be at the top of my list.

The most important thing other people should know about my car is that it is long lasting,I've been using it for few years now and it's really convenient
Honda accord has been my ideal car. I am a girl that's why it is easier for me to drive it. I also love It's appearance. So far I don't have any issues on it.

It is a tank. The car is very and reliable.
The vehicle is old, but it is really reliable. It is very big auto. I think the car is very big and bulky. I wish I had a Civic instead. The car door is very large and heavy. It keeps closing on my leg especially when the car is parked at an angle.

It is very reliable, and the gas does not run out fast.
The only thing I dislike, is that the color is fading away. I need to paint it again. I also dislike that it needs maintenance and I have to spend money on it.

Works well. It is comfortable.
Like that the car is in good shape. Fits a good amount of people. Hate that I cannot connect an aux. Not modern.

Good gas mileage. Use for long distance. Use cruise control.
Good gas mileage. Minimal repairs. Large trunk capacity for a small car. Cruise control. No major repairs ever.

The engine will last you for a very long time, just take very good care of it.
My car is very reliable and useful. Honda's are always the way to go if you want a vehicle to last you for quite some time. I have never had an issue with it, unless of course if I do not keep up with the maintenance on time.
