2006 Honda Accord Complaint Log

MY 06 HONDA ACCORD WAS SHAKING WHEN BRAKING AT 24K MILES I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECK THE BRAKES SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. AT 36K MILES I HAD TO CHANGE THE BACK BRAKE PADS. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT'S NOT RIGHT BUT HE SAID SORRY YOU NEED THEM NOTHING I CAN DO. 13K MILES LATER THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. SO I HAVE 50K MILES ON THE CAR STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS ON THE FRONT AND ARE ON MY THIRD SET OF PADS IN THE BACK. BUT THEY SAY NO PROBLEMS ?!@#$%!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND THE SPEED WOULD NOT DECREASE. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE GEAR TO D3 IN ORDER TO LOWER THE SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

2006 ACCORD TIRE BLEW OUT AT 70 MPH. *TS MICHELIN REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY CLAIMING THAT THE CONSUMER SOME HOW DAMAGED THE TIRE. *NM UPDATED 11/16/06. *JB

DURING HOT WEATHER THE MIRROR SECTION OF THE INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR BECAME LOOSE AND BEGAN TO VIBRATE, I PUSHED ON THE MIRROR SECTION AND IT MOVED BACK AND FORTH IN THE PLASTIC HOUSING. IT BECAME VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, AND ALSO THE VEHICLES I COULD SEE IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR WERE DISTORTED AND NOT CLEARLY SEEN. I TOLD THE DEALER, THEY IN TURN CALLED THE ENGINEERS, WHO TOLD MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE TO INSTALL SOME SPACING MATERIAL TO STOP THE MIRROR FROM VIBRATING. THE ENGINEERS SAID HEAT CAUSE THE SPACER HOLDING THE MIRROR EXPANDS DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. *JB

2006 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATES DEFECT WITH VEHICLE WINDOWS *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE WINDOWS WOULD OPEN AT ANY TIME WITHOUT COMMAND FROM THE REMOTE, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND PARKED. SEVERAL COMPONENTS WITHIN THE WINDOW PANEL WERE REPLACED, BUT THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

LOW BEAMS ON MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD HAVE NOT ILLUMINATED WELL. I HAVE LIVED WITH THIS POOR LIGHTING BY USING MY HIGH BEAM WHEN NOT INDICATED. RECENTLY, I DISCOVERED A RECALL # 07E004000 THAT STATES ABOUT IT. MY VEHICLE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THEY WERE CLOSED DURING PRIME BUSINESS TIME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE HEADLIGHTS WERE AN AFTER MARKET ISSUE. HOW DO I GET THIS SAFETY CONCERN FIXED? THANK YOU. *TR

FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. JUST BOUGHT 2006 ACCORD SE MID APRIL TAKING DELIVERY A WEEK LATER. RETURNED THE VEHICLE TODAY AFTER LONG TRIP TO BORDERING STATE IN WHICH THE CONNECTION AT THE DOOR PANEL OF THE SHOULDER SAFETY BELT RATTLES RIGHT INTO THE DRIVERS LEFT EAR. HAD THIS TRIP BEEN TAKEN WITHIN THE 5 DAY PERIOD AFTER TAKING DELIVERY AND BEEN TOLD IT WAS SOMETHING WHICH COULD NOT BE FIXED, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR RETURN OF OUR 99 ACURA. NOW I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR WITH RATTLE AT MY LEFT EAR AND MOST UNHAPPY. I LOVE DRIVING AND THIS TAKES AWAY DRIVING PLEASURE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST HONDA WE HAVE OWNED BUT MAY WELL BE THE LAST! WE HAVE PRAISED THE HONDA PRODUCTS WHEN ASKED ABOUT OUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ON HONDAS, AS HUSBAND HAD ACURA WHICH WAS TRADED IN FOR THIS VEHICLE. WAS ALSO TOLD THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN FOR A FEW YEARS. WE HAD 87 CIVIC, 90 ACCORD SE, 99 ACURA, AND 97 ACCORD SE. THIS IS FIRST TIME WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT FIXED!!!! HAD THE FEELING SINCE DOES NOT AFFECT HOW THE CAR RUNS OR SAFETY FACTOR, IT IS NOTHING. *JB

I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 ACCORD AND TOOK DELIVERY ON MARCH 29, 2006 FROM CLINTON HONDA, CLINTON, NJ. WITHIN ONE DAY AFTER DELIVERY I NOTICED A THUMPING SOUND AND VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR DURING HARD BRAKING. I MADE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT THE EARLIEST AVAILABLE DATE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ON FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2006 THE SERVICE MANAGER, MR. WILLIAM WILSON, INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE SLIGHTLY WARPED AND GLAZED AND THAT HONDA WOULD RESURFACE THE ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY. MR. WILSON INFORMED ME THAT IT IS HONDA POLICY TO RESURFACE BRAKE ROTORS ONCE UNDER WARRANTY. I ASKED HONDA TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED. BRAND NEW ROTORS SHOULD NOT BE WARPED AND GLAZED, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL SUCH A DEFECTIVE CAR. *NM

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN 2006 I CURRENTLY HAVE 42,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND FRONT BRAKES REPLACED ALREADY. THE REAR PADS WERE REPLACE AROUND 30,000 AND THE FRONT ROTORS AT 42,000. HAVING BRAKES REPLACED AT THIS MILEAGE DOESN'T SEEM REASONABLE. *TR

THE SIXTH INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 2006. MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 3928 MILES. THE DETAILS OF THE INCIDENT WERE AS FOLLOWS: I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE AT APPROXIMATELY 4:30 PM ON THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 2006.

MY VEHICLE ROLLED INTO THE STREET AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED. FORTUNATELY, NO PEDESTRIANS OR CARS WERE PRESENT IN THE STREET. TWO DISTRICT PARTS & SERVICE MANAGERS (DPSM) FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE FOR 8 MILES AT MY RESIDENCE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE DPSM, THE BRAKING SYSTEM OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE MEDIATION DEPARTMENT OF AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. HAS DETERMINED THAT NO OFFERS WILL BE MADE. I HAVE DECIDED TO PROCEED WITH ARBITRATION VIA BBB AUTO LINE. *JB

PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA ACCORD COUPE ON MARCH 15TH 2006, WAS TRAVELING NO THE HIGHWAY WITH NO VEHICLE IN THE FRONT OF ME AND ON MARCH THE 17TH TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASED MY SUN ROOF SHATTERED.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 HONDA ACCORD IN MARCH 2006 AND I EXPERIENCED A THUMPING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE WHERE THEY RESURFACED THE ROTORS. I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH A NEW VEHICLE HAVING RESURFACED ROTORS SO I HAD THE DEALER MAKE A NOTATION ON MY WARRANTY ORDER. WITHIN A WEEK I WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY RESURFACED THEM AGAIN AND I WAS REAL UNHAPPY BECAUSE WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO AGREED TO HAVE THE ROTORS CHANGED WHICH SUPPOSEDLY THEY DID. WELL I AM STARTING TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME TYPE OF THUMPING WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY BUT AT A LESSER LEVEL AT THIS TIME. I DO FEEL HOWEVER THAT HONDA MAY HAVE A PROBLEM IN THIS AREA AND WOULD HOPE THEY CORRECT IT SOON AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED HONDA'S SINCE 1975 AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THE AMOUNT OF PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THIS HONDA AS I HAVE ON ALL MY OTHER HONDA'S COMBINED. *JB

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I HAD A BLOW-OUT WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD SE. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS ROUGHLY IN MARCH OF 2006, AND THE SECOND ONE NOVEMBER 16, 2006. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE CAR WAS TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT ABOUT 65 MPH BOTH BLOW-OUTS OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE FIRST ONE FRONT AND THE SECOND REAR. THE FIRST BLOW-OUT NEARLY PUT ME INTO THE GUARD RAIL AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ALLOY RIM. THE OTHER BLOW-OUT DID NOT CAUSE ANY LOSS OF CONTROL. BOTH BLOW-OUTS OCCURRED ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD SOUND, NOT SURE IF IT WAS FROM THE RELEASE OF AIR OR THE RIM SLAMMING TO THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. BOTH BLOW-OUTS RESULTED IN A GAPING HOLE IN THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES. THE INITIAL FAILURE HAPPENED WITH 3000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE SECOND WITH 9000 MILES. ALL 4 TIRES CONSTANTLY APPEAR TO BE LOW ON AIR ALTHOUGH WITHIN THE RECOMMENDED PSI RANGE. NEITHER TIRE COULD BE REPAIRED AND BOTH TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SPENT $400 REPLACING THESE DAMAGED TIRES ON A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. *JB

THE THIRD INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2006. MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 3175 MILES. THE DETAILS OF THE INCIDENT WERE AS FOLLOWS: I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE AT APPROXIMATELY 4:30 PM ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2006. I STARTED MY VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 5:40 AM ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2006, AND ALLOWED THE ENGINE TO IDLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 5 MINUTES. I INCREASED THE RPM TO 1500 TWO TIMES FOR ONE SECOND EACH. I REVERSED AND BRAKED. MY VEHICLE STOPPED. I DROVE FORWARD UP AN INCLINE AND BRAKED. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD. I WAS UNABLE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL. MY VEHICLE ROLLED INTO THE STREET. A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST PRESSURE AND SUDDENLY DROPPED. MY VEHICLE STOPPED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. FORTUNATELY, NO PEDESTRIANS OR CARS WERE PRESENT IN THE STREET. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. I WAS DIRECTED TO CONTACT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DISTRICT PARTS & SERVICE MANAGER (DPSM). I FINALLY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY AND THE DPSM NEVER SHOWED UP. APPARENTLY, SHE HAD CALLED IN SICK. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DPSM BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT HAVE A SET SCHEDULE. I HAVE CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. THREE TIMES AND I HAVE WRITTEN ONE LETTER. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED OR REPLACED. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATES ANYTIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN BY THE DEALER, BUT WAS INSPECTED BY THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT, A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, DETERMINED THE ROTORS WERE BEGINNING TO SHOW EXCESSIVE WEAR AT ONLY 6,812 MILES. UPDATED 3/9/2006 - *NM

DROVE TO WORK. PARKED IN GARAGE AT APPROXIMATELY 3:00 PM ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2006. STARTED ENGINE AT APPROXIMATELY 12:00 PM ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2006. IDLED ENGINE FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 5 MINUTES. INCREASED RPM TO 1500 TWO TIMES FOR ONE SECOND EACH. REVERSED. BRAKED. DROVE FORWARD UP AN INCLINE. BRAKED. TURNED RIGHT. DROVE FORWARD ON A FLAT SURFACE AT NO MORE THAN 20 MPH. APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. BRAKED IN ADVANCE OF THE STOP SIGN. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD. I WAS UNABLE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED. FORTUNATELY, NO PEDESTRIANS OR CARS WERE PRESENT AT THE INTERSECTION. APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER THE INCIDENT, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2006, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ROAD TESTED THE VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE MY COMPLAINT. ALL 4 WHEELS WERE REMOVED AND ALL 4 BRAKE PADS WERE INSPECTED. THE FRONT PADS WERE AT 8.4 MM AND THE REAR PADS WERE AT 5.3 MM. ALL FRONT AND REAR PADS WERE LUBED. THE PROBLEM REMAINED UNRESOLVED. *JB

WATER LEAKED INTO THE TRUNK DAMAGING SOME MATERIALS THAT WERE BEING STORED IN THE TRUNK. AFTER A TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP (THIRD TRIP FOR VARIOUS PROBLEMS), THE DEALERSHIP RETURNED THE VEHICLE WITH AN EXPLANATION THAT IT DID NOT LEAK WATER. I KNOW THE CAR DID INDEED LEAK WATER. I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THE TRUNK UP AND HAVE CLEARANCE TO SEE! I FEEL HONDA REPAIRED THE LEAK AND THEN RETURNED IT STATING IT DID NOT LEAK. THE PARTICLE BOARD COVERING THE TIRE IS WARPED NOW. SINCE HONDA CLAIMS IT DID NOT LEAK, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO. *NM

TL* - THE CONTACT STATED THE IMA BRAKE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK EFFECTIVELY ON HIS 2005 HONDA HYBRID. HE OCCASIONALLY HAS TO APPLY THE BRAKES WITH FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED HE HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THERE ARE NO WARNING INDICATORS. *JB UPDATED 02/16/07.*JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RAMP THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED WITHOUT CAUSE. THERE WAS NO PRE-INCIDENT BRAKING AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED, PICTURES TAKEN OR REPAIR INVOICES AVAILABLE. THE DEALERSHIP RETAINED THE VEHICLE FOR 7 WEEKS AND COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM HOWEVER THE CEILING, AIRBAG, AND THE SEAT WERE REPLACED.

WATER WAS DISCOVERED IN TRUNK. OFFICE EQUIPMENT STORED IN TRUNK WAS DAMAGED. HONDA DEALER FOUND LEAK TO BE COMING FROM REAR WINDOW AND RESEALED THE LEAK. IN SERVICING THE VEHICLE THEY HAVE DAMAGED IT FURTHER AND IT HAS REQUIRED 6 TRIPS THUS FAR TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THEIR ERRORS. PARTS ARE ON ORDER AND UNFORTUNATELY WILL REQUIRE MORE TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. *JB

WE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM IN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT ON OUR TRIP BACK FROM AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP LAST WEEKEND. AS A RESULT OF THIS EXPERIENCE MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. AFTER A FEW HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, AND DECELERATING THROUGH AN EXIT RAMP, THEN RE-ACCELERATING AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT WE EXPERIENCED AND AN EXTREMELY RESISTANT BRAKE PEDAL REQUIRING EXTREMELY HARD PEDAL PRESSURE AND THE ENGINE SEEMED TO CONTINUE TO REV DURING BRAKING. WHILE STOPPED AT THE LIGHT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV ABNORMALLY. OUR 30-YEAR-OLD SON WAS DRIVING. HE DID NOT MOVE HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR FEAR OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. HE SWITCHED INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE STOPPED REVVING. WHILE KEEPING HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL HE PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE. THEN THE ENGINE SEEMED NORMAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS WAS A DISCONCERTING EXPERIENCE BECAUSE IT WAS ABNORMALLY DIFFICULT TO STOP, AND WE ALMOST RAN INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF US. THERE WERE THREE ADULT WITNESSES TO THIS FRIGHTENING EPISODE, MY WIFE, OUR ADULT SON, AND ME. WE DID NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AT ANY TIME DURING THIS TRIP. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR HONDA DEALER. THEY EXAMINED THE CAR THOROUGHLY AND COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS. THEY HYPOTHESIZED THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A COMPUTER ERROR, BUT THE SYSTEMS TEST OUT FINE NOW. NOW OUR FAMILY IS LEFT WITH A CAR THAT WE KNOW HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT, AND WE DRIVE IT IN FEAR THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, HURTING OTHERS OR US. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS STEALTH DEFECT MAY BE LURKING TO HURT OTHERS IN OTHER 2006 HONDA ACCORD V6 CARS. *JB

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2006 HONDA ACCORD, WITH A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE AND 5 SPEED MANUAL. THE CAR IS A LX SPECIAL EDITION, WITH A 2.4 LITER, 4 CYLINDER. THE CAR HAS BURNED EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL SINCE DAY ONE. IT BURNS MORE THAN 2 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN EACH OIL CHANGE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE THIN OIL THAT IS REQUIRED AND THAT IT WAS JUST THE BREAK IN, BUT IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE RUN THE FACTORY HONDA OIL AND FILTER AND THE PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE. THIS OIL CHANGE I TRIED MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC OIL IN THE RECOMMENDED WEIGHT, BUT IT DID NOT HELP. THE OIL IS AT 50% AND THE CAR HAS ALREADY BURNED OVER 1 QUART OF OIL WITH JUST OVER 20,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE DONE ALL OF THE REQUIRED OIL CHANGES AT THE PROPER INTERVALS. THE CARS TRANSMISSION IS ALSO ABNORMALLY STIFF WHEN IT IS WARMING UP. A FRIEND OF MINE WAS ABLE TO INSIST THAT THEY REBUILD HIS MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING IS THE PROBLEM I AM WRITING ABOUT THOUGH. *TR

2005 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH REAR DRUM BRAKES: WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65 MPH), THE BRAKES PULSE HEAVILY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN PRESENT FROM WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. THE SAME PULSATION IS PRESENT ON A 2004 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH REAR DRUM BRAKES. *NM
