2011 Honda Accord Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES INTO THE FLOORBOARD ABNORMALLY.

I WAS PARKING MY 2011 HONDA ACCORD COUPE IN A SPACE IN A PARKING LOT, FEATHERING THE BRAKE AND ABOUT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. SUDDENLY THE CAR REVVED UP AND ACCELERATED FORWARD. THE ENGINE RACED AS IF THE THROTTLE HAD BEEN FLOORED. IN ABOUT 2 FEET OF SPACE IT ACCELERATED ENOUGH TO JUMP ABOUT A 6-INCH CURB WHERE IT HIT A WOODY BUSH, WHICH STOPPED ITS FORWARD MOTION. THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. UPDATED 11/03/11 *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEED (65) THE ENGINE WOULD JUST LOSE POWER WITH NO WARNING!! ITS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES NOW FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. NOW NO ONE IN THE FAMILY WANTS TO DRIVE THE CAR. ITS JUST TOO NERVE RACKING TO GUESS WHEN THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER, OR TRUST IT FOR A LONG TRIP. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPEN WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY A TRUCK AS WE WERE TRYING TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER ROTATED THE TIRES. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AGAIN. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO A PERSONAL MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 16,000.

I WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF HOW NEW NTSA REGULATIONS FOR THE DESIGN OF HEAD RESTRAINTS HAVE INJURED ME PHYSICALLY AND FINANCIALLY. I TRADED IN A 2000 TOYOTA FOR A 2011 HONDA, ONLY TO FIND THAT THE HEAD RESTRAINT GAVE ME SEVERE NECK MUSCLE SPASMS. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT SINCE 2008, ALL NEW CARS MUST FOLLOW UPDATED NTHSA REGULATIONS IN HEAD RESTRAINTS. I WENT TO MANY DEALERSHIPS TO FIND A HEAD RESTRAIN THAT I COULD TOLERATE. ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME PAIN-PRODUCING, FEDERALLY-MANDATED STYLE. FINALLY, AFTER MUCH SEARCHING, I FOUND A FORD SUV THAT HAD A MORE TOLERABLE HEAD RESTRAINT. I WAS VERY RELIEVED BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY AN OLD USED CAR IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING. I HAVE MILD NECK ARTHRITIS, AND YOUR NEW STYLE OF HEAD RESTRAINTS CAUSED ME SUCH DISCOMFORT THAT I WAS WILLING TO SELL MY 5 DAY OLD HONDA ACCORD (WITH 225 MILES) AND LOSE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS (DUE TO DEPRECIATION)! IN ADDITION, I WORRY THAT THE HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE HURTING OTHER PEOPLE. I AM A PHYSICIAN, AND I KNOW THAT CHRONIC REPETITIVE STRESS CAN SOMETIMES LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY. WITH SO MANY DEALERS AND CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE NEW HEAD RESTRAINTS "NOT BEING COMFORTABLE," I SUSPECT THAT THE NEW RESTRAINTS ARE CAUSING NECK STRAIN TO MANY PEOPLE. I JUST HAPPEN TO BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE BECAUSE OF MY NECK ARTHRITIS. PERHAPS YOU CAN USE ME AS A SENTINEL CHICKEN TO REALIZE THE PROBLEM THAT YOU HAVE CREATED. PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR ADVISING PHYSICIANS ABOUT WHETHER THE NTHSA COULD BE INADVERTENTLY CAUSING NECK STRAIN AND EVENTUAL NECK INJURY TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. I DON'T WANT THIS EXPERIENCE TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. REGULATIONS SHOULD HELP NOT HURT. YOURS HAVE HURT ME PHYSICALLY AND FINANCIALLY. PLEASE ALLOW MANUFACTURERS TO REDESIGN THE HEAD RESTRAINTS SO THAT THEY ARE COMFORTABLE AS WELL AS SAFE, OR AT LEAST GIVE OPTIONS TO PEOPLE LIKE ME WITH MEDICAL PROBLEMS.

BOUGHT ACCORD 2011 SE ON JULY 22. AFTER FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP, I FOUND IT HARD TO ADJUST THE DRIVER SEAT TO A CONFORTABLE POSITION. IT STARTED GIVING ME EITHER LEG PAIN OR BACK PAIN OR SHOULDER/NECK PAIN. THE SEAT FEELS SO HARD AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A GOOD POSITION TO DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 10 MIN. THANKS TO THE POWER SETA, I KEPT ADJUSTING THE SEAT WHILE DRIVING BUT COULD NOT FIND A GOOD POSITION. CALLED HONDA, THEY ASKED ME TO CALL DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO TRADE IN THE CAR. ONLY IF I HAD FELT THIS DURING MY TEST DRIVE..AHH....TOO LATE NOW. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. DONT WANT TO LOOSE THOUSANDS OF DOLLORS IN REPLACING THE CAR, BUT CANT SEE MYSELF DRIVING THIS CAR UP TO 150,000 MILES. *TT

CAR SEATS ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE MAKING DRIVER TO EXPERIENCE SEVERE BACK PAIN AND LEGS TO GO TO SLEEP.

MY CAR HAS A STEERING SHIMMY AND VIBRATION PROBLEM THAT BEGAN AS MILD AND IS NOW SEVERE AND VIBRATES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. HONDA BALANCED MY TIRES SEVERAL TIMES, THEN REPLACED ALL 4 MICHELIN PILOT TIRES WITH 4 NEW ONES. THOSE HAD TO BE REPEATEDLY BALANCED AND THEN WERE REPLACED A 2ND TIME IN LESS THAN 1,000 MILES. THE 2ND SET WAS REPEATEDLY BALANCED WITH NO RESULTS. BOTH FRONT AXLES WERE REPLACED AND BOTH FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED WITH THE VIBRATION NEVER CHANGING. HONDA'S AREA REP AGREED TO REPLACE WHEELS AND TIRES WITH AFTER MARKET BBS WHEELS AND BRIDGESTONE SERENITY TIRES TO RULE OUT WHEEL AND TIRE PROBLEMS. PROBLEM DID NOT CHANGE AND HAS NOW GOTTEN WORSE AS THE MILEAGE INCREASES. (9K MILES NOW). YOU CAN GOOGLE 2011 HONDA ACCORD SHIMMY PROBLEM AND SEE THAT THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD IN THE USA AND CANADA, BUT HONDA USA IS TELLING ME THAT I AM THE ONLY ONE. I HAVE BOUGHT 4 BRAND NEW ACCORD EXL V6 CARS IN 8 YEARS, HAVE LOVED THESE CARS, AND AM VERY SURPRISED THAT HONDA IS FLAT OUT LYING TO ME. MY DEALER HAS BEEN HELPFUL AND SUPPORTIVE, AND THE AREA REP HAS BEEN DILIGENT IN HIS EFFORTS, TOO. HOWEVER HONDA USA IS STONEWALLING ME, BY NOT RETURNING CALLS, AND DELAY AFTER DELAY. I HAVE ASKED FOR A BUYBACK UNDER LEMON LAW STATUTE, AS THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT FIX THIS PROBLEM, THAT THEY DEFINITELY ACKNOWLEDGE. (THEY REPLACED TIRES 3 TIMES, AND WHEELS AND AXLES ONCE) HONDA USA IS TAKING THE POSITION THAT THIS IS NOT A BIG DEAL, BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. HONDA USA TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TODAY, BUT THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT IT AND SAYS THAT HONDA IS DONE CHASING THE PROBLEM. CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND MY OPTIONS, AND IF YOUR ADMINISTRATION CAN ASSIST ME IN GETTING HONDA'S ATTENTION AT (HOPEFULLY) A HIGHER LEVEL OF MANAGEMENT? I SINCERELY APPRECIATE ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU CAN OFFER. *TR

THE FRONT SEATS IN MY 2011 HONDA ACCORD LX-P GIVE ME LEG CRAMPS AND LOWER BACK PAIN. THE SEAT BOTTOM IS VERY HARD AND UNFORGIVING, AND THE LUMBAR SUPPORT IS TOO PRONOUNCED. I TEST DROVE THE CAR FOR 15-20 MINS. AND DID NOT NOTICE THIS. BUT I SURE NOTICED IT ON MY 30+ MIN. COMMUTE TO WORK THE FIRST TIME. I'VE TRIED NUMEROUS SEAT ADJUSTMENTS AND SEAT CUSHIONS TO NO AVAIL. I'M 6'2" 170 LBS. SO I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF AN ABNORMALLY SIZED PERSON. I ACTUALLY CONSIDERED TRADING IN THE CAR AFTER A FEW WEEKS FOR A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS. I REALLY HOPE HONDA DOES SOMETHING TO ADDRESS THESE UNCOMFORTABLE FRONT SEATS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, SHE ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT FROM PARK INTO REVERSE.

I PURCHASE A HONDA ACCORD 2011 ON 2/18/2011. I ALWAYS GET AN OIL CHANGE VERY 3000 TO 4000 MILES. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN FOR OIL CHANGE THE TECH TOLD ME THERE IS A LEAK IN THE MAIN REAR SEAL AREA AND THAT THEY NEED THE FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS. I DIDN'T MIND IT DUE TO THAT FACT IT WAS NOT THE MAJOR REPAIR LIKE TOUCH THE ENGINE, BUT SOON AFTER I RECEIVE A CALL TELLING ME THAT THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE SHORT BLOCK OF THE ENGINE THAT'S WHEN I GOT CONCERN.

REMIND YOU MY CAR WAS IN FOR REPAIR ON 5/25/ TO 6/8/2011 AND THE SHAKING STARTED ON 6/9/2011. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HONDA TO SEE IF THEY CAN GET ME IN TO ANOTHER CAR, SAME MODEL AND EVERYTHING. THEY BOTH TOLD ME THAT CAN'T BECAUSE THE CAR WAS A FEW MONTH OLD AND THEY WOULD LOSS SOME MONEY AND ONCE YOU SIGN THAT CONTRACT YOUR SOL AND IT NOT THEIR PROBLEM.BUT THEY ARE WILLING TO GIVE ME A ACCESSORIES FOR THAT CAR FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. I GUESS ONE YEAR FROM NOW WHEN I WHEN MY CAR BRAKE DOWN THAT ACCESSORIES WOULD DO GREAT HELP. LOL . NO MORE HONDA FOR ME!!! CUSTOMER SER. SUCK. HERE IS A LIST WHAT THEY DID TO THE CAR: "CHECK AND REPORT ON OIL LEAK AT ENGINE AREA.TROUBLESHOOT OIL LEAK.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT CAUSES BACK PAIN PLUS THIGH PAIN AFTER EXTENDED DRIVING OR 45 MINUTES LUMBAR SUPPORT PILLOWS, THIGH SUPPORT PILLOWS DOES NOT HELP MUCH WITH BACK OR LEG PAIN. I HAD A CAMRY SOLARA AND I OWN A MERCEDES AND THEY DON'T GIVE ME BACK PROBLEMS. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. IT CAUSES NUMBNESS ON THE LEGS AND THE BUTTOCK, AND LOWER BACK PAIN EVEN WITH A SHORT TRIP OF ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. CANNOT FIND A COMFORTABLE ADJUSTMENT WITH THE 10 WAY POWER SEAT. I FIND MYSELF KEEP SHIFTING SITTING POSITION IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIND A MORE COMFORTABLE POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT WAS EXTREMELY HARD AND WAS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SIT PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 400.

WIFE WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AS IF ENGINE WAS MISFIRING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN SEVERELY REDUCED POWER. SHE WAS BARELY ABLE TO EXIT AND MAKE IT ACROSS THE ACCESS ROAD AND INTO A TURN LANE WITH THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. CAR STILL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AS SHE PLACED IT IN PARK. DEALERSHIP CANNOT EXPLAIN SHAKING. CAR ONLY HAS 4,700 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM SERVICING DEALER. THEY SAID OIL WAS 1.5-2 QUARTS LOW SO THEY TOPPED IT OFF. TRIPPED A CODE FOR A STUCK SOLENOID IN THE CAMSHAFT TIMING SYSTEM SO THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PCM AND GAVE THE CAR BACK TO US. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS MY WIFE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC. HAD THERE BEEN MORE TRAFFIC IN HER WAY OR SOMEONE FOLLOWING CLOSELY, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. DEALER WAS STILL PUZZLED AS TO THE POWER LOSS AND SHAKING AND JUST SHRUGGED THEIR SHOULDERS. THEY SAID TO WATCH THE OIL LEVEL AND IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN TO BRING IT BACK. WE HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AS IT WAS DANGEROUS AND STRANDED MY WIFE ON THE SIDE OF AN INTERSTATE FOR 3 HOURS WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THIS WARRANTS INVESTIGATION OR YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2011 HONDA ACCORD LX, IT WAS DELIVERED WITH 11 MILES. AFTER I DROVE THE CAR FOR LITTLE OVER 300 MILES IT WAS MAKING A LOT OF NOISE. THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND LEFT SIDE SUSPENSION WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE. I CONTACT HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE LOUD NOISE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. I THEN CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGH THE CAR FROM TO CHECK IT OUT. I MEET WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND I LET HIM LISTEN TO THE NOISE, HE THEN STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL WHICH I FIND VERY STRANGE. ABOUT A FEW DAYS LATER THE LOUD NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION ALSO CAME A NEW PROBLEM A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE LEFT SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION. I CONTACT THE DEALER AND TALK TO SERVICE REP AND EXPLAIN WHAT WAS GOING ON HE CHECK THE SERVICE RECORD AND SAY IT WAS NORMAL. *TR

FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE SEAT DESIGN IN NOT CORRECT. UNFORTUNATELY, DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE BUYING THE CAR, ELSE WOULD NOT HAVE GONE FOR ONE. THE SEATS DESIGN NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED BY HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND SAVE PEOPLE FROM THE BACK AND NECK PAINS. *TR

VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM AN UN-COMMANDED ACCELERATION/THROTTLE PROBLEM WHICH IS COMPLETELY REPRODUCIBLE. IT AFFECTS THE LOW SPEED BEHAVIOR OF THE VEHICLE PARTICULARLY DURING TURNS WHERE THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF CONTROL. THE DEFECT WAS CONFIRMED BY HONDA STAFF WHEN ROAD TESTING IT VERSUS OTHER SIMILAR NEW VEHICLES. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM HONDA TO CORROBORATE THAT. IN ANY CASE, AT THIS POINT, HONDA IS EITHER UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO ADDRESS AND RESOLVE THIS SAFETY DEFECT.

NEW 2011 HONDA ACCORD (STARTING WHEN THE CAR GOT TO ABOUT 500 MILES ON ODOMETER): DOESN'T DECELERATE SMOOTHLY (GIVES A BIT OF A ROUGH "BRAKING" & ACCELERATION ACTION (A BIT OF A ROUGH RIDE) & ABOUT 100-200RPM INCREASE) THROUGH 20MPH, THEN, AGAIN THROUGH 15MPH. HONDA DEALER SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE OTHERWISE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO ON. THIS OCCURS CONSTANTLY EVERY DAY, USUALLY AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES & GONE FROM "COLD" TO ABOUT 45MPH SPEED LIMIT DRIVING. I WANTED TO MAKE A RECORD OF IT HERE FOR NOW IN CASE OTHERS EXPERIENCE THIS. *TR

JUST PURCHASED A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. THE DRIVERS SEAT IN THIS CAR CAUSES YOU LEGS TO GO NUMB AFTER ABOUT 30 MILES (A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE). SINCE EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND COUNTLESS FORUMS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2008 APPARENTLY AND HONDA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. THIS SEAT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. IF HAVING YOUR FEET FALL ASLEEP WHILE DRIVING ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. *LN

OWNED AUTO FOR 2 DAYS WHEN AUTO BEGAN TO HESITATE WHEN PUSHING ON GAS PEDAL AND THEN SURGED FORWARD. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. 5 DAYS LATER DID SAME FOR A PERIOD OF 20 MINUTES AND WHEN DRIVING TO DEALER (15 MIN) BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. DEALER HAS HAD AUTO FOR 8 DAYS AND CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM.

WHILE BRAKING TO A STOP FOR A RED LIGHT OR TO SLOW DOWN TO LESS THAN 10 MPH TO TURN AND THEN ACCELERATING TO PROCEED, THE ENGINE WOULD HESITATE FOR 2-5 SECONDS AND THEN FUNCTION NORMALLY. ENGINE DID NOT STOP, BUT REMIANED IN IDLE MODE. HESITATION HAPPENS AT RANDOM ABOUT 2% OF TIME. NEW VEHICLE WITH UNDER 1500 MILES. DOES NOT MATTER IF ENGINE IS HOT OR COLD. TAKEN TO DEALER AND EXPLAINED IN DETAIL. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE; SO NOTHING WAS REPAIRED. ISSUE DID NOT CAUSE A WARNING LIGHT OR ERROR CODE. CAME REAL CLOSE TO BEING HIT ON A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN ENGINE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. *TR

I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED ONE TIRE AND ONE WHEEL, BALANCED THE TIRES NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NOW THE DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM SAYING IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL AND THAT ALL ACCORD HAVE THIS ISSUE. I EVEN MET WITH THE FACTORY REP AND HE NOTICED THE PROBLEM BUT SAID THAT HONDA AND DEALER CAN'T RESOLVE IT AS IT IS NOT RELATED TO TIRES, WHEELS OR DRIVE TRAIN. BUT COULD NOT OFFER ANY EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT CAUSES THE SHIMMY SAYING THE SHIMMY IS "NORMAL" AND IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. I'VE ASKED FOR A NEW SET OF TIRES AND WHEELS BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO IT SAYING THEY CAN'T AFFORD THE COST AND IT WILL NOT MAKE THE CAR DRIVE DIFFERENTLY. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND DEALER. *TT

FRONT DRIVER SEAT LUMBAR PAINFUL TO SIT IN FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME (NOW THAT MY BACK IS IN SPASM CREATED BY THE SEAT) DUE TO THE MISALIGNMENT AND OVER INFLATED LUMBAR SUPPORT BAG, EVEN WHEN COMPLETLEY DEFLATED. THIS IS CAUSING SIATICA AND LOWER LIMB NUMBNESS AND TINGLING RELATED TO SPINAL NERVE COMPRESSION. DRIVING IN A CONSTANT DISTRACTED MANNER DUE TO SEVERE PAIN AND NUMBNESS INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT DUE TO DISTRACTION. I WAS DISTRACTED :LAST NIGHT TRYING TO READJUST THE SEAT FOR THE 50,000TH TIME TO DECREASE THE PAIN, AND I ALMOST HIT A JAYWALKER! SO, I HAVE SEEN SO MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SEATS . WHY DON"T YOU DO ANYTHING TO HELP US? *TT
