2010 Honda Accord Complaint Log

IN NOVEMBER, I PURCHASED 4 NEW CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS FOR MY CAR. IN MARCH, DURING POTHOLE SEASON, I QUICKLY LEARNED THAT THESE NEW TIRES HAVE SOFT SIDEWALLS AND EASILY DEVELOP SIDEWALL BUBBLES. I HAD TO REPLACE TWO OF THE TIRES DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. I'VE NEVER - IN MY 15 YEARS OF DRIVING - HAD TO REPLACE A TIRE DUE TO A SIDEWALL BUBBLE. CURIOUS, I TYPED "CONTINENTAL DWS SIDEWALL BUBBLE" INTO GOOGLE AND FOUND ONLINE FORUMS LOADED WITH FOLKS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S PRETTY CLEAR BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE, AND ONLINE REPORTS FROM OTHERS, THAT THE CONTINENTAL DWS TIRES HAVE WEAKER THAN USUAL SIDEWALLS, AND DEVELOP BUBBLES AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE THAN OTHER TIRES. AFTER SPENDING SO MUCH ON TIRES WITHIN A SIX MONTH PERIOD, I ASKED CONTINENTAL TO REPLACE JUST ONE OF THE TIRES UNDER WARRANTY (THE TIRE SHOP HAD MERCY AND REPLACED ONE FOR FREE!). CONTINENTAL'S INITIAL WARRANTY INCLUDES ROAD HAZARD PROTECTION FOR THE FIRST 2/10THS OF WEAR, WHICH THIS TIRE EASILY FELL UNDER. AFTER MEETING ALL OF CONTINENTAL'S REQUIREMENTS FOR THE WARRANTY INFORMATION, THEY HAVE STOPPED RESPONDING TO MY CUSTOMER SERVICE INQUIRIES. THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE THREE WEEKS TO RECEIVE A CHECK. IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE SIDEWALL ISSUES OF THESE TIRES. IT IS CLEARLY A KNOWN ISSUE, AND CONTINENTAL REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY - EVEN WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! MY NEXT COMPLAINT WILL BE FILED WITH THE FTC FOR FALSE WARRANTY CLAIMS, SINCE THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY UNDER THE RULES THEY DEVELOPED; RULES THAT I MET. CONSIDER THIS FILED COMPLAINT MY OFFICIAL NOTICE TO CONTINENTAL. IF I DIE DUE TO A TIRE DEFECT, THIS NOTICE IS PLACED IN A FILE FOR MY LAWYER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE RUST TO THE ENTIRE SUBFRAME AND THE FRONT AXLES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

ON 3/18/15 I TOOK OUR 2010 HONDA ACCORD WITH 28,037 MILES TO SUBURBAN HONDA IN FARMINGTON HILLS,MI FOR A OIL CHANGE,THE SERVICE MANAGER NOTIFIED ME THAT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR PADS HAVE WORN OUT TO THE POINT OF WEARING OUT THE ROTOR BEYOND TURNING TO REPAIR,AND I NEED A NEW CALIPER THAT AS WE KNOW MUST BE REPLACED IN PAIRS. HIS PRICE FOR REPAIRS WAS $1027.60 + TAX =$1089.26 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AUTO REPAIR FACILITY AND HAD ALL NEW PADS,ROTORS AND CALIPERS REPLACED FOR $650.04 THIS COSTLY EXPENSE AT THIS LOW MILEAGE OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE,HOW MANY OTHER TRUSTING CUSTOMERS BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND HAD THE SAME OR SIMILAR REAR BRAKE FAIL AS WELL. AT THE LEAST HONDA SHOULD REIMBURSE US FOR ALL OF THE REPAIRS. AT 28,049 MILES BOTH FRONT TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED DO TO PREMATURE WARE

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTONS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

COLD START RATTLE DUE TO VTC ACTUATOR FAILURE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE AT HONOLULU, HI, HONDA PFLUGER (NOW PACIFIC HONDA). WITH THE PROPER MAINTENANCE, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMING SATISFACTORILY UNTIL NOW. ONLY MINOR DEFECTS WERE NOTED, SUCH AS BATTERY REPLACEMENT WITHIN THE 3-YEARS OR 36,000 MILES WARRANTY. ON 01/08/15, WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER IN AUSTIN, TX, BECAUSE, FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS, WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS SAT FOR A WHILE, THE BREAKS WILL NOT WORK WHEN BACKING UP: THE PEDDLE GOES ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN AND STICKS, WILL NOT GO BACK NOR DOWN, AND THE HAND BREAK HAD TO BE PULLED UP TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TESTED, WE LEFT OUR VEHICLE AT HOWDY HONDA. THE NEXT DAY, THE MAINTENANCE CONSULTANT INFORMED US THAT THE BREAK MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER, AND THAT A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF SUCH PART WOULD BE NECESSARY. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE $946.00, PLUS TAXES, BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT COVERED BY THE VEHICLE?S WARRANTY. ON THE HONDA WARRANTY BOOKLET, THE AFOREMENTIONED PART IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF NON-COVERED PARTS (PAGE 9); THE MALFUNCTION HAS NOT BEEN CAUSED BY THE IMPROPER USE OF OUR CAR: WE HAVE NEVER USED IT FOR BUSINESS OR UNUSUAL SPORT OR OTHER ACTIVITIES; THE MASTER CYLINDER IS THE ORIGINAL PART INSTALLED BY HONDA; AND NO THIRD-PARTY TECHNICIAN HAS EVER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR IT. THE DEFECT IN THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER IS VERY UNUSUAL; ALMOST ANY 2010 HONDA ACCORD WITH 31,409 MILES SHOWS THIS KIND OF ISSUE. HENCE, WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTION IS A CASE OF A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP UNDER NORMAL USE. FURTHERMORE, THE ABOVE DESCRIBED PART MALFUNCTION REPRESENTS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHICH POTENTIAL PERSONAL, PHYSICAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGES AGAINST US AND THIRD PARTIES. THE CAR IS INOPERATIVE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. *TR

IT WAS A COLD WINTER MORNING, 9 DEGREES TO BE EXACT. I'M IN THE CAR WITH MY 2YR OLD DAUGHTER. I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT, I MAKE IT 50 FEET AND THE BRAKES BEGIN TO FAIL. IM PUMPING THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO A CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT A STAND STILL. I HIT THE BRAKES A SECOND AND THIRD TIME I GLIMPSE DOWN WONDERING WHY IS THE CAR NOT SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING I CONTINUE STOMPING ONTO THE BRAKE. I STARTED TO SCREAM IN REALIZATION THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. I COLLIDE INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR THAT WAS AT A STAND STILL. THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I WAS NOT EVEN A FULL 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOME I COULD NOT COMPREHEND HOW MY BRAKES JUST FAILED AFTER I REPEATEDLY PRESSED DOWN ON THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCED THIS. I CROSSED AN INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THANK GOD I HAD THE GREEN LIGHT AND THERE WAS NO ONE CROSSING. THE 2 PEOPLE IN THE CAR I COLLIDED INTO WERE ALSO FINE. *TR

CAR WAS BOUGHT 2 YEARS OLD, BREAKS STARTED TO MAKE A SCRATCHING NOISE IN 2014 AND GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR, THEY SUCKED US IN AND MADE US PAY OVER $1,000 FOR NEW BREAKS, ROTORS, CALIPERS ETC. APRIL 2016 THE CAR WAS STARTED ONE MORNING, IMMEDIATELY THE NOISE I HEARD IN 2014 I HEARD AGAIN BUT MUCH WORSE. THE NOISE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS IDLING. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, THIS MECHANIC TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW BREAKS, ROTORS, CALIPERS ETC. THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAD IN 2014. THE DEALER KNEW ABOUT THESE HONDA'S HAVING A BREAK ISSUE, WONDERING WHY MY DEALER DID NOT MENTION THIS.

BROUGHT A CAR FROM MILLENNIUM HONDA IN HEMPSTEAD. LESS THEN 4 MONTHS NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION SERVICE MANAGER REFUSE TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR WHEN I WENT TO GET IT FIXED. STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. SOLD ME A LEMON. MAKING A SOUND LIKE THE ENGINE IS GOING TO FALL OUT. *TR

COMPLAINANT WAS DRIVING A 2010 HONDA ACCORD ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 TO 70 MPH WHEN ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT SUN ROOF SHATTERED WITH A VERY LOUD BURST. COMPLAINANT DID NOT WITNESS ANY OBJECT HITTING SUN ROOF, NOR DID SUN ROOF HAVE PRIOR DAMAGE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE SHATTERED GLASS FROM SUN ROOF BEGAN TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, LANDING ON DRIVER AND OCCUPANT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SEMI-TRUCK ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6 LOST POWER A FEW MINUTES AFTER ACCELERATION. THE TRUCK DRIVER PROBABLY FELT THAT I WAS BEING RUDE AND SLAMMING ON MY BREAKS, BUT I WAS TRYING TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BECAUSE MY CAR WAS LOSING POWER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP THAT SPECIALIZES IN HONDA MAKES/MODELS. UPON REVIEW OF THE VEHICLE, THE SHOP FOUND OIL IN ALL THREE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD IS PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR MISFIRE AND OIL CONSUMPTION (LEAKAGE). I CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND NOTIFIED THE COMPANY ABOUT THE ISSUE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE INDEPENDENT SHOP THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. I ASKED IF IT WAS RELATED TO THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BOTH STATED THEY COULDN'T UNDERSTAND "WHY OIL WOULD BE IN THE CONVERTERS". I HAVE USED THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ALL WORK MINUS THE ALTERNATOR (2 WEEKS AGO). A NEW SHORTBLOCK WAS INSTALLED 20K MILES AGO (PART OF THE MISFIRE/OIL ISSUE). MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE SITUATION OF LOSING POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF ACCELERATION. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TODAY (AND I DID NOT HAVE A SOLID YELLOW LINE WHEN I WAS PASSING - PRETTY MUCH A STRAIGHT AWAY). I TOLD HONDA AMERICA THEY NEEDED TO LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE ISSUES WITH THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6 GOES BEYOND MISFIRE AND OIL CONSUMPTION. I ATTEMPTED TO GOOGLE ACCIDENTS AND ISSUES WITH 2010 HONDA ACCORDS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE (POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR ACCIDENTS INVOLVING 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6 MODELS). *TR

I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY ROTORS BRAKES AND CALIPERS 4 TIMES SINCE LAST AUGUST. I JUST CHANGED THE ROTORS AND BRAKES FOR THE 3RD ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THEY ARE GRINDING AGAIN. I WENT OUT FOR LUNCH AND WHEN I GET BACK TO WORK I HEAR A GRINDING. I GET TO WORK AND LOOK AND ITS ON THE ROTOR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. MIND YOU IN OCTOBER ON A ROAD TRIP THE CALIPER MALFUNCTIONED AND I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE CLAMPED DOWN ON THE ROTOR. COST ME $850 TO FIX! THIS IS RIDICULOUS

ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD, OCCURRING ON ALL FOUR DOORS, THE WINDOW SWEEPS ARE MELTING. THESE ARE THE STRIPS THAT KEEP WATER FROM RUNNING DOWN, INTO THE DOOR WELLS FROM THE CLOSED WINDOWS. THE RUBBER STRIPS WERE REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM. LAST FALL, THE NEW SWEEPS STARTED TO ALSO MELT DOWN TO A RUBBERY TAR-LIKE CONSISTENCY. I COMPLAINED TO HONDA ABOUT THIS DEFECT TO NO AVAIL. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW SWEEPS AND FOR THEM TO BE INSTALLED. THE IMPRESSION THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE SERVICE PERSON WAS THAT IN WARMER CLIMATE AREAS THIS IS A PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT THE NEWER HONDA VEHICLES ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS AND HONDA IS NOT CONCERNED WITH THE SITUATION. I HAVE HAD TWO OTHER OLDER HONDA VEHICLES IN THE PAST IN THE SAME LOCATION. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. *TR

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX-L ENGINE IS MISFIRING AND BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 35,340. THE ADD OIL LAMP DOES NOT LIGHT UP, TO AT LEAST LET ME KNOW THAT OIL NEED TO BE ADDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITH NO WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR AT A COLD START, YOU HEAR A LOUD GRINDING NOISE SOUNDS FOR 2 OR 5 SECONDS. THERE IS A TSB 09-010 REGARDING A VTC ACTUATOR THAT DRAINS OF OIL AND IS NOT PROPERLY LUBED WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE COLD, CAUSING THE GRINDING NOISE UNTIL OIL REACHES THE PART AGAIN. GRINDING NOISES IN AN ENGINE ARE BAD, AND COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE SHOULD THE ABRASIVE METALLIC PARTS (DUE TO GRINDING WHEN THERE IS NO OIL IN THE ACTUATOR) BECOMING LODGED. THIS ENGINE FAILURE COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, POSSIBLY IN A HIGHWAY LANE. WHILE MY CAR ENGINE HAS NOT YET SEIZED, THERE ARE ONLINE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING. CURRENTLY, HONDA WILL ONLY FIX THIS ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY ALSO GIVE THE CAR OWNER A REALLY HARD TIME PROVING THE ISSUE, REQUIRING THE CAR BE LEFT AT A DEALERSHIP OVERNIGHT TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A LOANER VEHICLE IS AT YOUR EXPENSE. IF THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL IS AT YOUR EXPENSE. IF YOUR CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE NOISE, BOTH THE LOANER CAR AND DIAGNOSTIC FEE ARE AT YOUR EXPENSE. THIS GREATLY REDUCES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WILLING AND ABLE TO HAVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE FIXED. RUNNING ENGINE COMPONENTS WITHOUT OIL SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH YOUR ENGINE. IF THE ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY, IT COULD LEAD TO DEATH. *TR

WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY I AM HAVING WATER LEAKAGE FROM THE HEADLINER RIGHT ABOVE WHERE THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSING MY SEATS TO GET WET ALONG WITH THE HEADLINER TO BE SOAKED LEAVING A WATER STAIN ONCE DRIED. *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM PUTTING 1-2 QUARTS OIL EVERY 3000 MILES, EVEN THOUGH THE OIL LIFE INDICATES 80% OR BETTER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND JUST NOTICED THIS ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO. THE OIL IS NOT LEAKING, IT IS JUST GONE. ALSO WHEN I START THE CAR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR WHEN IS COLD, THE TOP OF THE ENGINE MAKES A RATTLING NOISE. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD PRONOUNCED NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS EITHER THE ENGINE OR THE TRANSMISSION, SOMETHING DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 4, ANTIOCH, CA. MY WIFE AND I HEARD THIS LOUD EXPLOSION ON THE ROOF OF OUR CAR. SCARED THE[XXX] OUT OF US. WE PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY, GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE ROOF. THE SUN ROOF WAS COMPLETELY BLOW OUT WITH GLASS EVERYWHERE. LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF. NOTHING HIT US, THE FREEWAY WAS REALLY CLEAR. IF WE HAD OUR INSIDE TOP PANEL OPENED, GLASS WOULD HAVE COME RAINING DOWN ON US AND WE COULD HAVE PANIC AND GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SOMEONE COULD HAVE REALLY GOTTEN HURT OR KILLED. OUR CAR IS LIKE BRAND NEW. ONLY 13,300 MILES AS WE DON'T DRIVE IT THAT MUCH. WE DROVE TO OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP, ABOUT A MILE AND HALF AWAY AND THEY KEPT THE CAR AND FIXED IT. THEY TOLD US THEY KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED SOONER THAN LATER BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. A REAL DEFECT IN THIS DESIGN. THE WEB SHOWED A LOT OF THIS THING HAPPENING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IN LATE MAY 2014 I HAD THE BRAKES (PADS/ROTORS) REPLACED ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD, 2 MONTHS LATER IN AUGUST, I HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS AGAIN, - ROTORS WERE WARPED AGAIN, MANAGED TO GET THEM COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, - 2 MONTHS LATER 10/31 MORE BRAKE ISSUES SO TOOK THEM TO THE DEALER (SO NO AFTER MARKET PARTS), ROTORS WARPED, RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS AND PADS, - DONE, 2 MONTHS LATER IN DECEMBER 2014 BACK TO THE DEALER (NOW I'VE PAD FOR THEM 2X IN 6 MONTHS)- REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED, NOW, 2 MONTHS LATER IN FEBRUARY - BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME (1S 2 WERE NOT A DEALER). THIS TIME THEY WERE WARPED, BUT NOT AS BAD - SO THEY MACHINED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THIS TIME I WENT EARLY, WHEN I FIRST STATED NOTICING IT. NO ONE FIGURES OUT WHY... SO, IN TOTAL, MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN WORKED ON 5 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD A HONDA CORPORATE REP TAKE THE CAR FOR A RIDE, THEY WERE ADVISED THERE WAS NOT A BRAKE PROBLEM. BUT THAT RIDE WAS NOT TILL AFTER THEY MACHINED THE ROTORS, OF COURSE THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM - THIS TOTALLY HAS NO LOGIC TO EVEN HAVE THAT DONE! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED - UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT, AND HOW MUCH TIME AND MONEY DO I HAVE TO WASTE, AND BEFORE SOMEONE TRIES TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE CAR IS GOING THRU BRAKES- MAYBE GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT? IN ADDITION TO THESE ONGOING BRAKE ISSUE, I'VE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE THE 3 PISTONS REBUILT (UNDER A RECALL , BUT I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE MISFIRE PROBLEM FOR 4 MONTHS BEFORE THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING) AND THE STEERING RACK REPLACED (THANK GOD I HAD 100 MILES LEFT ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY). *TR

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY-15 MPH ON A LOCAL ROUND-ABOUT AND THE ENGINE APPEARED TO STOP RUNNING. I COASTED TO AN INTERSECTION AND STOPPED ALONG THE ROAD. ENGINE TURNED OVER INITIALLY THEN ONLY BUZZING SOUND. SHIFTER LOCKED IN PARK AFTER STOPPING. DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS WERE FUNCTIONAL AS WELL AS THE FAN MOTOR. LIMITED LIGHTS ON THE PANEL, TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM, AND RED PASSENGER SEAT ICONS WERE LIGHTED. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT IN A BAD LOCATION FOR STOPPING. *TR

PURCHASED VEHICLE 5/8/2014. DRIVING HOME AND I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND STATED THAT THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE CRAP--WASN'T SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND JUST HAD A HORRIBLE SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE. HE STATED WE WILL CHECK OIL AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WHEN YOU GET HOME. TO FIND NO OIL OR TRANSMISSION ON EITHER. WE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED DEALER WE PURCHASED FROM AND WE HAD IT TOWED THERE FOR ATTENTION. CAR DEALER CHANGED OIL(WHICH WASN'T MUCH) AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WERE "FINE". PASSING THE BUCK! WE CONTINUED TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT TO FIND WE ARE PUTTING QUARTS OF OIL IN IT. IT HAS HAD 3 OIL CHANGES IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AND NOT DUE TO MILEAGE---DUE TO EACH PLACE WE TOOK IT TO-DEALER-CHANGED OIL, JIFFY LUBE-CHANGED OIL-HONDA-CHANGED OIL AND STARTED "OIL CONSUMPTION" TEST. I HAVE CHECKED OIL IN MY CARS, SINCE I WAS 16 YEARS OLD. HONDA STATING "IT'S NORMAL"--IT'S NOT NORMAL TO HAVE TO KEEP ADDING OIL TO YOUR CAR BETWEEN ONE OIL CHANGE TO ANOTHER, DUE TO MILEAGE ONLY. YOU CAN VISUALLY SEE OIL EVERYWHERE ON THE ENGINE BLOCK AND LAYING ON OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE ENGINE. FIX THE CAR!!!!!! *TR

REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WORN OUT. FRONT BRAKE PADS HAD APPROXIMATELY 70 PERCENT WEAR REMAINING. CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER CARE AND THIS CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED, PER VIN NUMBER, RECALL FOR HONDAS WITH PRE-MATURE BRAKE PAD WEAR ON THE REAR. *TR

SHE WENT TO THE DEALER, WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED SHE WOULD NEED A NEW KEY AND A NEW CASE KEY. THE REP IN THE PARTS DEPT. SUGGESTED THE KEY MAY HAVE BROKEN IN HER PURSE.

TOOK CAR FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AND WAS TOLD REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AFTER ONLY 38,856 MILES. MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED AS ELIGIBLE IN 2010 HONDA BRAKE RECALL SETTLEMENT. I THINK HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE REPAIRS. *TR

AFTER HEARING A MILD GRINDING SOUND IN THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME DIRT/PEBBLE. TO MY SURPRISE, MY MECHANIC TOLD ME MY REAR BRAKES WERE WORN DOWN & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 35,000 MI. MY MECHANIC SAID HE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES W/ OTHER HONDA CUSTOMERS. I REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS W/ AFTERMARKET BRAKE PADS BECAUSE MY MECHANIC BELIEVED THEY WERE SUPERIOR TO THE HONDA BRAKE PADS. THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE 80% LIFE. I'VE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ON MY PREVIOUS CARS W/ MILEAGE UNDER 55,000. I STARTED MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AFTERWARDS & FOUND THE 2010 HONDA CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT REGARDING THE REAR BRAKES ON SPECIFIC YRS OF THE HONDA ACCORD. HONDA WAS NOT REQUIRED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE REAR BRAKES. HONDA ACCORD BRAKE PADS SHOULD LAST UP TO 70,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY THE REPAIR DEADLINE & ELIGIBILITY INCLUDED BRAKE PADS REPLACED WITH HONDA BRAKE PADS & INSTALLATION OF THOSE BRAKE PADS WITHIN 3 YRS OF WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST SOLD. I'VE OWNED MY ACCORD FOR 4 YRS & I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS W/ AFTERMARKET PADS. SINCE I HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE OTHER THAN TO WRITE HONDA OR GO TO THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPT, I OPTED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE W/ OTHER CONSUMERS, RATHER THEN REMAIN SILENT & FRUSTRATED. I DOUBT I'LL MAKE ANY PROGRESS W/ CONTACTING HONDA. I TRULY ENJOY MY HONDA ACCORD & ITS PERFORMANCE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED W/ HONDA & THEIR LACK OF COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION & RESOLVING AN INFERIOR PART ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AS NOTED W/ ALL THE ONLINE CUSTOMER DOCUMENTATION. HONDA HAS FORCED THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE, REFUSING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF A COSTLY, EXTREMELY, PREMATURE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR. *TR
