2010 Honda Accord Complaint Log

THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE MAKES A NOISE AS IF THE BRAKE PADS ARE WORN OUT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL SURFACES SCRATCHING EACH OTHER. NOTIFIED HONDA AND THEY SAID THE BRAKE PADS ARE NOT COVERED. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA TO TAKE IT FOR REPAIR. BOTH BAKE PADS UNTIL 70000 MILES(GENERALLY THIS IS THE LIFE FOR BRAKE PADS) AND THE RELATED WEAR CAUSED BY WORN OUT BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA. *TR

HAD TO REPLACE REAR BRAKES ON NEW 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THIS SEEMS VERY PREMATURE FOR A NEW CAR. WE ARE DISAPPOINTED OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE EARLIER CLASS ACTION, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2010. HONDA SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL CARS IF REAR BRAKES FAIL AT 20,000+ MILES. *TR

OIL LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AT THAT POINT. MY CAR WASNT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. WAS HEARING THE PISTONS IN THE ENGINE WHEN I WOULD START DRIVING THE CAR. I CHECKED OIL AND IT SHOWED NO OIL. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT IN 2 TO 3 QUARTS OF OIL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AND IS STILL OCCURING TO THIS DAY 2015. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED NOTHING IS WRONG. I JUST RECEIVED A WARRANTY EXTENSION FROM HONDA AND I AM JUST ABOUT CLOSE TO THE 125,00 MILEAGE THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO. IT IS A SHAME THAT THEY ARE CONTACTING ME ABOUT THIS YEARS LATER.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A THREE VEHICLE COLLISION. I WAS REAR ENDED BY THE 4TH VEHICLE WHICH STARTED A CHAIN REACTION AND MY VEHICLE WAS HIT IN THE REAR AND THE FRONT AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, SHE CRASHED IN TO A POLE. AS A RESULT, THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND BURNED THROUGH HER CLOTHING. THE POLICE WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT WAS THE ONLY PERSON REPORTED AS INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

MICHELIN TIRE# P25/50R17 93V M+S. DOT B90A. VJLX 2210 ANOTHER TIRE GONE FLAT, GOOD THING IT WAS NOT A BLOW OUT.. MECHANIC STATED TIRE INSIDE TIRE WALL HAD A BUBBLE AND WORN OUT ON THE INSIDE WALL.. THIS TIRE IS A REPLACEMENT FOR A PREVIOUS TIRE, SAME ISSUE, THE NEW TIRE HAS ONLY BEEN ON MY VEHICLE FOR FOUR MONTHS.. PLEASE ISSUE AN INVESTIGATION AND HAVE MICHELIN RECALL THIS STYLE OF TIRE ALSO.. SEEMS THAT MICHELIN HAS RECALLED THEIR R16 AND R20 STYLE TIRES, WE'RE SURE THE PROBLEM IS ALSO IN THIS R17 SERIES TOO... THANK YOU AND WE ANXIOUSLY AWAIT HEARING FROM YOU.. *TR

THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS MAKING A KNOCKING OR THUMPING SOUND. THE NOISE CAN BE HEARD INSIDE THE CAR BUT NOT OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE NOISE APPEARS ON HOT SUMMER DAYS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 30 - 60 MINUTES. THE NOISE IS PRIMARILY HEARD AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. SOMETIMES IT CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL OR BRAKE PEDAL. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A KANSAS CITY AREA HONDA DEALER BUT THE NOISE WAS NOT DUPLICATED BECAUSE THE CAR SAT FOR A WHILE AND WAS NOT DRIVEN FOR 30 - 60 MINUTES. THERE ARE TWO SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON SAFERCAR.GOV. A TEXAN RECENTLY REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE HONDAACCORDFORUM.COM. HE REPORTS THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THEY HAD THREE SIMILAR REPORTS AND THE FIX IS TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT KNUCKLES AND BEARINGS. HE SAID THE HONDA TECH LINE IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. HE WONDERS WHY A SERVICE BULLETIN OR RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED BECAUSE IT COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF STEERING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE FORMALLY DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. REQUEST NHTSA INITIATE A DEFECTS INVESTIGATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THE VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR FEEL OFF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE VISOR WAS LOOSE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE VISOR, BUT THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE BUT HAD NO FALLEN FROM ITS HOUSING. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WENT TO HONDA DEALER FOR REGULAR SERVICE AT 25000 MILES. WAS TOLD I NEEDED REAR BRAKES REPLACED AND FLUSHED. $200 FOR THE BRAKE REPLACEMENT AND $170 FOR THE FLUSH. SEEMS VERY EARLY TO HAVE THIS SERVICE DONE. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT WAS NOT COVERED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, SHE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES, ROTORS AND THE FRONT CALIPERS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD GIVE THE CONTACT A DISCOUNT ON THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 28,422. UPDATED 07/13/12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE CASE WAS SETTLED AND HONDA WAS MAILING A CHECK FOR $150. UPDATED 07/18/12

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

AT 42K MILES, BRAKE WEAR INDICATOR BEGAN TO INDICATE PREMATURE WEAR ON LEFT REAR WHEEL. I KNOW THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH 2008-2009 AND SOME 2010 MODELS, FIGURED IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WHEN I RECEIVED MINE. *TR

I AM IN A DILEMMA PERTAINING TO MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD. I LIVE IN CANADA BUT I PURCHASED A DEMO MODEL FROM UNITED STATES. DURING THE LAST FIVE YEARS I HAD FOUR INCIDENTS OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE BRAKING. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR STOP SIGN, THE CAR SUDDENLY GOES INTO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITH RPM RUNNING OVER 4500. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE AND CHANGED THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL. THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV AT HIGH SPEED DESPITE NOT PRESSING ON ANY PEDALS, AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE WHILE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL AND THEN SWITCH IT ON AGAIN AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN P GEAR. I AM 100 % CERTAIN THAT THESE INCIDENTS ARE NOT RELATED TO DRIVER ERROR AS IT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. I PHONED AMERICAN HONDA AND HONDA CANADA AND BOTH BRUSHED ME OFF AND DENIED EVER HEARING ABOUT IT. THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO ISOLATE THIS FAULT AS IT RARELY HAPPENS (4 TIMES IN FIVE YEARS).I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY ESPECIALLY IF MY WIFE OR MY DAUGHTERS ARE DRIVING. I WILL BE GRATEFUL IF YOU CAN LET ME IF OTHER DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED A SIMILAR INCIDENT FOR HONDA AUTOMOBILE. I ALSO NEED SOME ADVICE ON HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS. IS THIS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH THE CONTACT NOTICED A METALLIC SNAPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE SOUND COULD BE HEARD AT ALL SPEEDS AND MORE SO WITH MORE WEIGHT IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE STRUTS AND THE SWAY BAR BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE BALL JOINT ASSEMBLY WHICH WAS FAULTY. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THERE WERE NO REPAIRS AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE FAILURE AND STATED IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

WAS MAKING A TURN ON TO YOUNGS STREET NEAR BURGER KING, CAR INFRONT OF ME STOPPED FOR THERE WAS TOO MUCH TRAFFIC AND I BUMPED INTO THE CAR INFRONT OF ME IN WHICH WAS A TOYOTA CAMRY. MY FRONT BUMPER, MY HOOD, RADIATOR WAS BENT INWARD, PASSENGER SIDE PANEL WAS BENT INWARD, HEAD LIGHT WAS SMASHED IN AND BROKE, FRAME FOR FRONT FENDER WAS BEND INWARD AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. POLICE OFFICER NOTICED THAT THEY DID NOT. *TR

I HAVE HAD A VERY TROUBLING AND DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH THE HONDA ACCORD MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED FROM RICK ROUSH HONDA (MEDINA OHIO) IN JULY OF 2010. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO WORK OUT A SOLUTION THROUGH THE DEALER BUT WAS TOLD BY THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANGER THAT THE HONDA ZONE MANAGER HAS REFUSED TO OFFER ANY COMPENSATION. WE WERE EXPECTING A NORMAL $25.00 - $30.00 OIL CHANGE. IMAGINE OUR SURPRISE WHEN THE TOTAL COST FOR THE SERVICES CAME TO $515.32. A) MAINTENANCE MINDER CODE ?B? SERVICE $82.27. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THIS SERVICE AS IT MAKES GOOD COMMON SENSE. B) REPLACED ENGINE AND CABIN (HEPAA) AIR FILTERS PER MAINTENANCE MINDER CODE ?2? CODE. $66.55. AGAIN NO ISSUE. C) REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS $323.02. THIS IS WHERE I HAVE AN ISSUE. ACCORDING TO THE INSPECTION CHECKLIST; REAR PADS FROZEN IN PINCHES? CAUSED THE ROTORS TO OVERHEAT. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED TO A VEHICLE WITH 30,000 MILES. REAR BRAKES SHOULD LAST 60,000? 70,000 MILES. IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THIS PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR IS A BRAKING SYSTEM DEFECTIVE THE SAME AS OR SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE IN THE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLED IN LATE 2010. HAVE OR WILL OTHER 2010 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM? HAS HONDA ORCHESTRATED A COVER UP TO AVOID THE BAD PRESS AND A COSTLY RECALL AT THE EXPENSE OF THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS? I EXPECT A REIMBURSEMENT FROM HONDA FOR THE $323.02 CHARGE INCLUDING THE SALES TAX. THAT WILL BE A TOTAL OF $344.02 ($323.02 + TAX OF $21.00. *JB

PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR AND FAILURE. *TR

ALL 4 OF MY LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE GONE OUT IN ABOUT A 6 YEAR PERIOD OF TIME. THEY WENT OUT INDIVIDUALLY APPROXIMATELY A YEAR APART. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. HONDA DID COVER THE FIRST BUT REFUSED TO COVER THE OTHER 4. I️ HAD ASKED TO TO HAVE ALL OF THEM REPLACED INITIALLY AND WAS TOLD NO. HONDA OBVIOUSLY BOUGHT A BATCH OF BAD LOCK ACTUATORS. I HAVE OWNED 8 HONDA'S OVER THE LAST 35 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A SINGLE LOCK ACTUATOR GO OUT IN ANY HONDA I️ HAVE EVER OWNED.

THIS COMPLAINT REGARDS MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD. AT AROUND 21,500 MILES, I NOTICED MY VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A HUMMING SOUND TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SOUND WOULD INCREASE AS THE CAR ACCELERATED AND DECREASE AS THE CAR DECELERATED. WHEN I BROUGHT MY ACCORD IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON 04/24/12, I INFORMED THE DESK AGENT AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP OF THE NOISE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE NOISE STEMMED FROM A WHEEL BEARING THAT HAD GONE BAD ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THIS MALFUNCTION WAS STILL COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE, I FELT THE NEED TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AS THIS WAS A PREMATURE MALFUNCTION OF A VERY CRUCIAL PART TO MY VEHICLE. IT SEEMS AS IF THE DAMAGE OCCURRED WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF, AND I CUT THE WHEEL TO GET A BETTER VANTAGE POINT UNDER MY WHEEL WELL. I MAKE THIS ASSUMPTION SINCE I HADN'T HEARD THE NOISE BEFORE DOING THIS, AND THEN THE FIRST TIME I DROVE MY CAR AFTER DOING THIS, WHICH HAPPENED TO BE AN HOUR LATER, THE NOISE BECAME APPARENT. MANY OTHER PERSONS THAT OWN A SIMILAR VEHICLE AS MINE MAY NOT THINK MUCH OF THIS NOISE IF THEIR VEHICLE(S) HAVE SIMILAR MILEAGE SUCH AS MINE SINCE WHEEL BEARINGS TYPICALLY LAST MUCH LONGER THAN THIS. THIS COULD BE A CATASTROPHIC MISTAKE IF THIS ASSUMPTION IS MADE, SO I FIGURED IT PRUDENT TO ADVISE ON MY EXPERIENCE IN CASE THIS WERE TO HAPPEN TO ANOTHER VEHICLE OWNER OR LESSEE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION TO MINE. FOR THE RECORD, MY CAR HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS. *JS

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARD TO THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THROUGH MY OWN RESEARCH, HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL DUE TO PREMATURE WEAR OF THE REAR BRAKES IN MY MODEL YEAR ACCORD, HOWEVER I LEARNED THAT THEY RECENTLY SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN RESPONSE TO OWNER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAD 22,000 MILES ON IT AS OF APRIL 24, 2012, THE DATE OF MY LAST SERVICE. I WAS INFORMED BY A DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN THAT MY REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY HAD ONLY 2 MM OF BRAKE PAD LEFT ON THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT MY FRONT PADS HAD 7 MM OF BRAKE PAD REMAINING ON THEM. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN IF THERE WAS A REASON FOR WHY REAR BRAKE PADS WOULD WEAR OUT SO QUICKLY ON A VEHICLE TO WHICH I WAS GIVEN THE ANSWER THAT MOST AUTOMOBILES NOWADAYS HAVE THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM PROVIDING MORE OF THE STOPPING POWER THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS. I NEED NOT GO INTO MY OWN KNOWLEDGE, NOR MY PERSONAL OPINION IN THIS MATTER. HOWEVER, THE REASON I AM LODGING THIS COMPLAINT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH MY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW BRAKING SYSTEMS WORK IN AUTOMOBILES. HENCE, I THOUGHT IT PRUDENT TO APPRISE YOUR INSTITUTION TO THIS ISSUE SO AS TO POINT OUT WHAT MAY BE A MATERIAL DEFECT IN MY AUTOMOBILE, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS AS I WOULD PRESUME. FOR THE RECORD, I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW, HAVE HAD IT REGULARLY SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S GUIDELINES, AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO ANY OUT OF THE ORDINARY DRIVING CONDITIONS. *JS

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN MAY 2011. WITHIN ALMOST TWO YEARS I HAD TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS I WAS TOLD BY MY LOCAL DEALER THAT THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. NOW AS OF TODAY, 06/18/2014 MY CAR HAS BEEN BACK IN THE SHOP TWICE WITH IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS FOR MORE BRAKE PROBLEMS. I REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER IN 4/2014 WITH ABOUT 720000 MILES AND NOW TODAY I AM REPLACING THE LEFT REAR CALIPER. I HAVE HAD A HONDA ACCORD COUPE THAT I HAVE PUT WELL OVER 100000 MILES ON AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE CALIPERS. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND I THINK AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE PUT ON THIS CAR YEAR OF 2010 BRAKE SYSTEM AS THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE NET REGARDING THIS. I HAVE SPENT ALMOST $2000 ON BRAKES THIS IS RIDICULOUS WITH HAVING A SUCH A "NEW" CAR ALSO HAD A PROBLEM W TIRES HAD TO REPLACE AT 48000 ALSO STOCK MICHELIN TIRES. UNHEARD OF HONDA NEEDS TO DO BETTER WITH THEIR STOCK PARTS! *TR

I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN, THE DEALER SAID MY REAR BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY FRONT BRAKES WERE FINE AND HAD TWICE AS MUCH PAD LIFE LEFT ON THEM COMPARED TO THE REAR PADS. THE COST WOULD BE $249- TO REPLACE THE REAR PADS. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR WHERE THE REAR BRAKES NEED REPLACING BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKES. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

BOUGHT MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6 EXL NEW. AT 45,000 MILES THE CAR EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHUDDERING OF THE WHOLE CAR WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT A SPEED OF 70MPH WHILE ON A TRIP. THIS WAS OCCURRING WHETHER THE BRAKES WERE VERY LIGHTLY APPLIED OR MORE FIRMLY APPLIED. A REPAIR SHOP SAID THE REAR ROTORS AND REAR BRAKES WERE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AND IT REDUCED THE SYMPTOMS BY ABOUT 90%. NOW LAST WEEK ON ANOTHER TRIP, THE CAR BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS IT HAD PRIOR TO THE 45000 MILE REPAIR. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE ORIGINATING HONDA DEALER ON JULY 5TH TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THE OVER THE PHONE SPECULATION BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR IS "IT'S THE FRONT ROTORS". THESE ARE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS BUT MORE IMPORTANT, THE CONDITION IS DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS. FEW THINGS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE BRAKES! *TR

HEARD SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING. TOOK TO DEALER AND TOLD NEEDED NEW REAR BRAKES IN THIS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE WITH MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES AND HAD TO PAY $185.00. *JS

THE REAR BRAKES ARE WORN IN UNDER 10,000 MILES. *TR

THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2010 HONDA ACCORDS RE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. BEFORE I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL, I EXPERIENCED MY VEHICLE STALLING TWICE ON TWO SEPERATE OCCASIONS AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. NOW THAT I AM AWARE OF THE RECALL, I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID MY VIN DOESNT APPLY. WHICH PUZZLES ME WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES. *JS

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. CAR CHUGGED AND THREATENED TO CUT OFF. I MIRACULOUSLY GOT IT INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ORLANDO. HAD TO LEAVE IT,GET RENTAL TO GET HOME AND GO BACK FOR IT 4 DAYS LATER. DEFECTIVE FRONT SPOOL VALVE ASSEMBLY WAS FOUND TO BE BINDING/STICKING CAUSING ENGINE TO MISFIRE. *JS

PREMATURE WEAR ON REAR BRAKES. BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR MADE SCRAPING SOUND FROM RIGHT REAR WHEEL. INSPECTED BRAKES AND FOUND RIGHT REAR INNER BRAKE PAD WORN DOWN. LEFT REAR BRAKES ALSO WORN BUT NOT YET TO WEAR INDICATOR. ONLY 26,995 MILES ON CAR AT TIME OF INCIDENT. EXAMINED FRONT PADS AND FOUND THEM TO BE IN NEAR LIKE NEW CONDITION AT 9/32 INCHES THICKNESS. *TR

INVESTIGATED A SCRAPING SOUND COMING FROM RIGHT REAR WHEEL FOUND BRAKE PADS WORN DOWN TO BARE BACKING,EXAMINED FRONT PADS AND FOUND THEM TO BE STILL IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT ABRUPTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. IN TURN, THE VEHICLE THAT THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO WAS THROWN FORWARD, CAUSING THAT VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A THIRD VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT AND A PASSENGER SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES AS A RESULT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED OR INSPECTED FOR THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING 2010 HONDA ACCORD BACK FROM WORK AT 2:00PM AFTERNOON. SHE WAS IN THE NEXT STREET WHICH WAS HARDLY 500 FT LONG AT THE APPX SPEED OF 20MPH. SHE LOST THE CONTROL AND HIT A SMALL TREE ON LEFT SIDE END OF THE STREET AND CAR ROLLED OVER. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD AND SHE WAS WEARING SEAT BELT AND FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYED. BUT EVEN THOUGH CAR FLIPPED & ROLLED OVER, SIDE & CURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH POSSIBLY RESULTED IN VERY SERIOUS INJURY TO HER LEFT HAND. BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE & PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW GLASSES COMPLETELY SHATTERED. SHE NEVER LOST HER CONSCIOUSNESS AND SHE COULD NOT RECALL WHY THIS HAPPENED. ALL SHE REMEMBER IS THAT SHE WAS GOING TO HIT THE TREE AND TRIED TO STEER AWAY FROM IT. *TR

I HAD A 2008 ACCORD, WHICH SEATING WAS VERY COMFORTABLE. I TRADE FOR A 2010 WITH ALL THE SAME EQUIPMENT AND LEATHER SEATS (SAME AS 2008), BUT HAVE MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE LACK OF COMFORT, LACK OF ADJUSTABLE TO SUPPORT THE BACK AND LEGS. I, LIKE OTHERS I'VE READ, HAVE BACKACHES, NECK PAIN AND LEG PROBLEMS WHEN I DRIVE THIS CAR. IT'S RIDICULOUS. WHO CHANGED THE DESIGN OF COMFORTABLE SEATS TO THIS JUNK?? WHY WOULD THE DESIGN CHANGE AT ALL?? SOMETIMES IMPROVEMENTS AREN'T REALLY IMPROVEMENTS, AND THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE. SHAMED ON HONDA. I'VE OWNED FOUR HONDAS. I SURE WON'T BUY ANOTHER ONE WITH UNCOMFORTABLE SEATING. *TR

I RENTED THIS 2010 HONDA ACCORD FROM ENTERPRISE (DUNDALK, MD OFFICE) WHEN MY CAR WAS SENT TO REPAIR. I NOTICED THAT THIS CAR WAS MAKING A LOT OF NOISES WHILE DRIVING. THEN ON FEB 7, 2012 AROUND 6:40AM, I JUST FINISHED WORK AND HEADED HOME. I HAD ALL THE CAR WINDOWS CLOSED. AS SOON AS I ENTERED HIGHWAY I-95 NORTH (EXIT #43 IN MARYLAND), I NOTICED THERE WAS STRANGE NOISES. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOME STONES JUMPING INSIDE THE DOOR. THE STRANGE NOISES DIDN'T GO AWAY AND I HEARD A BIG EXPLOSION SOUND SEVERAL MINUTES LATER. IT WAS VERY SCARY. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THERE WERE CARS ALL AROUND MY CAR. I WAS AFRAID OF HITTING OTHER CARS. MY FIRST REACTION WAS FLAT TIRE OR GUNFIRE. HOWEVER, I NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE GLASS WAS GONE SECONDS LATER AND THE CAR WAS STILL DRIVABLE. THE BROKEN GLASSES WAS INSIDE MY CAR AND INSIDE THE DOOR. THIS IS VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AS I HAVE NO SUCH EXPERIENCE BEFORE AND I HAVE NOT HEARD SIMILAR CASES AROUND ME. I BELIEVE THE GLASS EXPLOSION WAS DUE TO RESONANCE. *TR

BRAKE PADS AT 23,700 MILES COMPLETELY WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH ROTORS. *TR

I HAD JUST DROPPED MY CHILD OFF AT SCHOOL AND WAS IN LINE TO LEAVE THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. I WAS VERY SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD AS CARS WOULD LEAVE. I WAS MOVING SLOWLY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR QUICKLY ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT STOP REGARDLESS OF ME HITTING THE BRAKES. I ENDED UP HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS ALL HAPPENED SO FAST. NO INJURIES BUT VERY SCARY. *TT

REAR BRAKES ON 2010 HONDA ACCORD ARE ALMOST "METAL ON METAL". THIS SHOULD NOT TAKE PLACE WITH A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY 17,500 MILES. *TR

HAD TO REPLACE REAR BRAKES AT 21,837 MILES COSTING $212.81. MY VIN NOT PART OF SETTLEMENT BUT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY STILL AN ISSUE WITH HONDA BRAKES. WOULD LIKE TO BE INFORMED OF ANY INVESTIGATIONS OR LAWSUITS. I AM SEEING MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WITH NO DEFECT INVESTIGATIONS? *TR

WHEN I TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICING TO THE OPEN ROAD HONDA (RT 1S) IN NJ, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE REAR BRAKE PAD IS HEAVY AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I DROVE THE CAR MOSTLY HIGHWAYS DURING MY PREVIOUS JOB FOR MOST OF THE MILES AND I DIDN'T EVEN APPLY MUCH BRAKES AND NOW THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT THE REAR BRAKE PAD IS GONE AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER THE FRONT PAD IS AS GOOD AS NEW. HOW CAN IT BE. I CAME TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH HONDA ON THIS SUBJECT, BUT IT SEEMS THEY'RE COVERING ONLY A CERTAIN FEW VIN NUMBER, THIS IS TOTAL ABSURDITY, IF THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS FAILING FOR ANY / ALL MODELS OF HONDA, IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. *TR

I WENT TO A LOCAL SEARS AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE CENTER AFTER I'D HEARD SQUEAKING COMING FROM THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. A CO-WORKER TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE THEM CHECKED. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE BRAKE PADS THAT CAME FROM THE REAR BRAKES OF MY CAR--THERE WAS NO PADDING LEFT! ANOTHER MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT HE'D SEEN A LOT OF HONDAS COME IN A SIMILAR CONDITION--FRONT BRAKE PADS SHOWING SOME WEAR AND REAR BRAKE PADS WITH ALMOST NO PADDING REMAINING. HE ADVISED ME TO CALL HONDA AND ASK ABOUT RECALLS. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED TO VISIT THIS WEBSITE: WWW.ACCORDSETTLEMENT.COM. I CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE BECAUSE IT DIDN'T APPEAR THAT MY VIN WAS INCLUDED. I CONTACTED [XXX] LLP, WHO SAID THEY COULDN'T ASSIST ME BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I THINK THAT THIS BRAKING ISSUE SHOULD BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED--IT APPEARS THAT IT AFFECTS MORE THAN JUST THE FIRST NINE 2010 MODELS PRODUCED (AS [XXX]CLAIMS), AS I'M EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO OTHER ACCORD OWNERS. BRAKES ARE A VERY COMPONENT OF ONE'S VEHICLE! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

REAR BRAKE PADS WORN RIGHT INTO THE ROTORS. STOPPING DISTANCE LONGER THAN USUAL.VEHICLE STRUCK CURB BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT. *TR

2010 HONDA ACCORD EX HAS VERY VERY BAD SEAT DESIGN. BECAUSE OF WHICH I HAVE BEEN HAVING TO GO TO DOCTOR ALMOST EVERY WEEK. MY BACK HAS BECOME ALL WEAK AND I HAVE DEVELOPED SLIGHT WING SCAPULA BECAUSE OF THIS . I REQUEST HONDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE REAR BRAKES ON MY HONDA ACCORD HAVE WORN OUT PREMATURELY. AFTER JUST OVER A YEAR OF OWNING MY CAR I ALREADY NEED TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE PADS. THE HONDA DEALER DID NOT SEEM SURPRISED WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THEN AFTER SOME SEARCHING I FOUND THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS SETTLED ON THE 2008 ACCORDS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM: HTTP://USNEWS.RANKINGSANDREVIEWS.COM/CARS-TRUCKS/DAILY-NEWS/100408-HONDA-SETTLES-LAWSUIT-OVER-ACCORD-BRAKES/. HONDA IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I WILL BE HAVING TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR NEW BRAKE PADS 2 TO 3 TIMES MORE OFTEN THAN ANY OTHER CAR I COULD HAVE BOUGHT. I CHOSE HONDA FOR ITS RELIABILITY AND NOW I AM BEING LET DOWN. *TR

NEEDED REAR BRAKES AT 21,189 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS HE HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE, FOLLOWED BY THE WINDSHIELD FRACTURING WITHOUT IMPACT. BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,545.

REAR PADS WORN AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED BUT MY CAR NOT INCLUDED. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF OWNERS WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. PERHAPS THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS MORE THAN HONDA WILL ADMIT TO. *TR

PREMATURE WEAR BRAKES, BOTH FRONT AND REAR, EXCESSIVE NOISE. *TR

2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATES BRAKE FAILURE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VSA LIGHT ILLUMINATED DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE CALIPERS AND THE BRAKES. ALSO, THERE WAS A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB

2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUES WITH BRAKES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FIVE TIMES. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES AS WELL AS A BURNING TYPE ODOR COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, A VIBRATION WAS FELT COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS A LOUD NOISE, GRINDING AND RUBBING. *JB

AT 25844 MILES, REAR BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED. AT 69098 REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THIS FREQUENCY OF WEAR AND REPLACEMENT IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE'VE BEEN DRIVING HONDAS FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE WORN DOWN AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 13,900 MILES. *TT
