2012 Honda Accord Complaint Log

NEARLY HEAD ON COLLISION AT APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH AND NEITHER THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG OR DRIVER'S STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DEPLOYED

THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT SPONTANEOUSLY FAILED AT 106000 MILES. NO CREAKING, WHINING, CLUNKING, OR ANY INDICATION THAT IT WAS FAILING. THERE WERE NO CRACKS IN THE BOOT AND THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE.

ENGINE SEIZURE

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST LIGHTS CAME ON FIRST WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. THE OBD CODES WERE SCANNED AND THE CODE P0341 WAS READ. THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND THE P0341 CODES WERE CLEARED. THE SECOND TIME THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE OBD CODES WERE SCANNED AGAIN AND THE CODE P1009 WAS READ MEANING THE VTC ACTUATOR IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL 2008-2012 ACCORDS AND THERE HAS BEEN SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED REGARDING THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THE ISSUE. IF THERE IS NOT ALREADY, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED.

CAR JERKS AND SHUDDERS WITH LIGHT ACCELERATION IN LOW GEARS. RECALL WAS ISSUED ON CROSSTOUR TORQUE CONVERTER AND SHOULD BE ISSUED ON ACCORD FROM THIS YEAR WELL OR EXTEND POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. READING FORUMS THIS SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA UNTIL THEY GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER. ALREADY BOUGHT A DIFFERENT MAKE FOR MY SONS CAR 2 MONTHS AGO.

VEHICLE IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET, PROCEEDING IN AN EASTWARD DIRECTION.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle drove over a pothole, causing the driver's side air bag to deploy. The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that he needed to pay out-of-pocket for the air bag replacement. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

PURCHASED JUNE 13, 2020.. SHORTLY AFTER NOTICED IT'S LIGHT ON DASH WAS ON.. I HAVE JUST BECOME AWARE WHAT IT IS, IT IS STILL ON ALL THE TIME.. WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY SUGGESTED I GET 2 NEW TIRES AND A FLANGE ON THE EXHAUST WOULD NEED REPAIRED SOON.. A FEW WEEKS AGO I PURCHASED 2 NEW TIRES UPON RETURNING HOME FRONT FLASHERS ONLY BEGAN TO BLINK INTERMITTENTLY IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS OCCASIONALLY.. I CALLED DISCOUNT TIRE THAT SAME DAY AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF ANYTHING HAD TO BE RESET SO I HAVE BEEN CONTINUOUSLY LOOKING FOR ANSWERS SO NOW I HAVE COME ACROSS THE RECALLS AND COMMON PROBLEMS. THE TPMS. LIGHT CAME ON AFTER A 2 HOUR DRIVE HOME AND ALL TIRES WERE 10-12 LBS PRESSURE LOW.. WHAT IS GOING ON..

I’m not sure exactly when everything started but it’s been a 2ish years. The lights on my steering wheel started blinking randomly. Then the cruise control stopped working. Then the lights went out entirely. Now the horn only works occasionally. It slowly got worse over time.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND TO BILL PAIGE HONDA (6715 ARLINGTON BLVD, FALLS CHURCH, VA 22042, (703)533-9700) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A SOLENOID VALVE DEFECT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

THIS VEHICLE CONSUMES SO MUCH OIL TO THE POINT THAT THERE IS NOT HARDLY ANY OIL WHEN THE OIL CHANGE IS DUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY EXCESSIVELY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER AN UNKNOWN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER FOR THE AIR BAGS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SUSTAINED FOOT AND KNEE INJURIES AND THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED NINE RIBS FRACTURED, A FRACTURE FROM THE STERNUM, THE RIGHT CLAVICLE FRACTURE, TWO LOWER VERTEBRAE BRUISED AND A BRUISED LUNGS, ABDOMEN AND CHEST THAT NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT FELT DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS CAUSED TOO MANY INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOWING SHOP AND WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT CONTACTED BILLY CRAFT HONDA (2634 LAKESIDE DR, LYNCHBURG, VA 2450) AND WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE 131,500. *LN*JB*DT*JB

VSA/ TC FAIL - CAUSED HAZARD. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: I GOT STUCK ON MY DRIVEWAY, ON PAVEMENT, IN A STEEP SECTION OF THE ROAD. TC KEPT CUTTING THE THROTTLE. HERE'S WHAT I DID: 1) I TRIED TO USE THE BRAKES TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING DOWN THE HILL AND TO STOP THE NO-TRACTION WHEEL FROM SPINNING. THIS DID NOT WORK. TC KICKED IN, OVER AND OVER, CAUSING THE CAR TO ROLL BACKWARDS. 2) I TRIED TO USE THE BRAKES, DURING QUICK FOOT SWAP OF THE PEDALS (SEPARATE APPLICATION OF BRAKE, THEN GAS PEDAL). THIS TOO, DID NOT WORK. THIS WAS THE WORSE CASE - THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARD, AND THEN MADE THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL SPIN EVEN MORE (BESIDE, I NOW WAS ALMOST OFF THE ROAD, AND INTO MUDDY DITCH). 3) NEXT, I TRIED MORE CAREFUL SLOW ACCELERATION, THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IDLE, OFF-IDLE AND THE VERY SLIGHTEST OF ACCELERATION (NEEDED MORE GRANULARITY). THE WHEEL SPUN FREELY. I NOW WAS EVEN CLOSER TO BEING, OFF THE ROAD, AND INTO THE MUDDY DITCH. WHERE OTHERS HAVE FALLEN BEFORE. 4) FINALLY, I TURNED THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF. THIS HAD NO EFFECT. IT APPEARS THIS IS DUMMY-BUTTON (ITS FAKE). HERE'S WHAT I EXPECTED... A) SINCE 3 OF THE WHEELS REPORTED 0-MPH, AND EACH APPLICATION OF THE THROTTLE RESULTED IN NEGATIVE MPH, ON THE SAME 3 WHEELS THEN THE TC SHOULD ALLOW LOW MPH OF WHEEL SPIN, WHILE GAS AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED (I DO THIS ALL THE TIME IN REVERSE/ BACKING UP HILL, AND THIS WORKS GOOD - NO TC INTERFERENCE). B) OR, SINCE 3 OF THE WHEELS REPORTED 0-MPH, AND EACH APPLICATION OF THE THROTTLE RESULTED ZERO FORWARD PROGRESS, THEN THE ABS SHOULD APPLY SLIGHT BRAKES (MAYBE EVEN HILL HOLDING FUNCTION), TO THE FRONT WHEELS, TO FORCE TRACTION TO THE WHEEL WITH THE MOST GRIP. ABS POSSIBLY APPLYING, ALTERNATING BRAKING, AS TRACTION IS LOST, AND GAINED, TO EACH FRONT WHEEL, TILL FORWARD MOTION IS ACHIEVED FOR 100FT (SOME DISTANCE). C) OR, AT LEAST ALLOW THE VSA/ TC, BUTTON TO WORK.

UPON START OF I HEARD A RATTLE AND IT STOPPED AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS. I GOT ONLINE AND SEE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MY HONDA THE VTC ACTUATOR GOES OUT FREQUENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LOAD THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE, THE HATCH CLOSED AND INJURED THREE FAMILY MEMBERS. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO APOSTOLAKIS HONDA (3156 ELM RD, CORTLAND, OH 44410, (800) 900-4600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DAMPERS ON THE SPRING MAY HAVE WEAKENED DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO PROPERLY OPEN THE TRUNK TO ITS FULL UPRIGHT POSITION FOR PROPER OPERATION OF THE TRUNK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE OUTLINED IN HONDA TSB 09-010, AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. NOTICE ISSUE AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE 95,000 MILES. WAS NOT ABLE TO HAVE DEALERSHIP CHECK THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING IDLE IN THE COLD FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. PLUS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT. NOW THAT EXTENDED WARRENTY HAS EXPIRED, WONDERING IF THIS A RECURRING ISSUE, WOULD A RECALL FORCE HONDA TO RESOLVE ISSUE.

STEERING ISSUES, WHEEZING NOISE FROM THE STEERING WHEN STARTS THE ENGINE AND IN MOTION. STEERING OFTEN BECOMES STIFFS WHEN IN MOTION. PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED SINCE THE FIRST DAY DRIVEN OUT OF THE LOT. IT HAS BEEN FIXED AT LEAST, FOUR TIMES NOW BY HONDA, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THE STIFFENING OF THE STEERING OCCURRED ON 8NOV2019 AGAIN.

DRIVER WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP. LOOKING ONLINE THERE'S AN ENTIRE THREAD OF HONDA OWNERS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE!! YOUR WINDOWS ARE MALFUNCTIONING AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 18 MONTHS!! MOST MOTORS IN WINDOWS LAST!! NOT SURE WHY HONDA HASN'T HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE!!

THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT OF MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD HAS JAMMED INSIDE THE BELT HOUSING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MOST RECENT EVENT LASTED OVER AN HOUR AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FREE THE BELT FROM THE HOUSING, I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE WITHOUT A SEATBELT ON, WHICH WAS TERRIFYING AND AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. THE BELT EVENTUALLY RELEASED FROM ITS HOUSING AND IS WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN, UNTIL THE NEXT INCIDENT, I SUPPOSE.

HAD A ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH AND HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAGS (STEERING WHEEL AND SIDE WINDOW) DEPLOYED. AFTERWARDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO HIS DESTINATION. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR RANDOMLY WILL NOT OPEN, EVEN THOUGH DOOR LOCK APPEARS TO BE IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION- WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED.

PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE CAR ACCELERATED AND BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP CAR. IT DROVE THROUGH A PLATE GLASS WINDOW. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT ON THE BRAKE. ACCORDING TO NHTSA THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM.

CAR MADE STRANGE NOISES, WHEN STOPPED, WHEN BRAKES APPLIED LITTLE HARD. HONDA SERVICE CENTER SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE STEERING RACK. AND GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $2200. CAR HAS MILEAGE OF 82000

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING HONDA (ACCORD) CARS FOR OVER 40 YEARS. NOW I OWN A HONDA CROSSTOUR. GREAT CAR! I DO NOT DRIVE VERY MUCH AND ONLY LOCALLY. MY AVERAGE ANNUAL MILEAGE IS ABOUT 7,000 MILES. MY CROSSTOUR IS 7 YEARS OLD NOW AND HAS JUST REACHED 53,000 MILES. YESTERDAY I WAS TOLD THAT I I NEED A $1,600 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE "RACK AND PINION". APPARENTLY A TINY PIECE IS BROKEN ON IT. THIS IS VERY TROUBLING. EVEN THE AUTO REPAIR TOLD ME TO CONTACT HONDA AS THIS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY.. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED BY HONDA DEALERSHIPS. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTED WHEN I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I CONTACTED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RACK AND PINION IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT NEW PARTS ARE NOT MADE. I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BUY A RE-FURBISHED PART. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH A SERIOUS PART OF THE VEHICLE, WITH ONLY LOCAL MILEAGE ON IT, CANNOT BE UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. AND, I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT ONLY "USED PARTS" ARE AVAILABLE. I AM A LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER FOR MANY MANY YEARS. I AM A 75 YR OLD, SENIOR CITIZEN ON A LIMITED SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM A REPRESENTATIVE FROM HONDA'S CUSTOMER LOYALTY DEPARTMENT WHO CAN PLEASE HELP ME!

CAR MADE A STRANGE NOISE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKING OR WHEN STOPPED. RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

ENGINE/TRANSMISSION HAS STUTTERING/JERKING AT LOW SPEEDS IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR DAILY.

BOUGHT A USED 2012 HONDA ACCORD FORM BILL GATTON HONDA IN BRISTOL TN A FEW MONTHS AGO. HAD IT FOR 1 DAY AND WAS HAVING VIBRATION PROBLEMS WHEN GOING IN 3RD GEAR. TOOK IT BACK AND DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WHERE NO PROBLEMS. I NO FROM FORUMS THAT I HAVE READ THAT HONDA HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THERE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHY DON'T THEY FIX THE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION, INSTEAD OF LYING TO YOU AT THE DEALERSHIP. HONDA SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ISSUE A CALL BACK ON 2012 HONDA COUPES AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. AND FIX THERE ENGINEERING PROBLEMS. CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN TOW ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS VIBRATION PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

MY HONDA HAS A RECALL TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG(S). THE PROBLEM IS THAT I DO NOT TRUST THE LOCAL DEALER, LARRY MILLER HONDA TO WORK ON MY CAR. I HAD A RECALL OF A PREVIOUS HONDA CIVIC, THE DEALER TOLD ME I NEEDED $800 IN REPAIRS TO MY SUSPENSION, I TOOK THE CAR TO A HIGHLY TRUSTED LOCAL SUSPECNSION SERVICE, THEY SAID THE ONLY THING THAT NEEDED DONE WAS AN ALIGNMENT. THEY HAD THE PROBLEM LIST FROM THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THEN, FRIEND OF MINE BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA FROM LARRY MILLER TOYOTA. WHEN HER CAR HAD 18,000 MILES ON IT THEY TOLD THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID NEEDED REPLACE, AND OTHER WORK NEEDED DONE, THEY CHARGED HER OVER $200! WE KNOW THAT IF ANY WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE ON HER TOYOTA IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, SHE HAD OWNED THE CAR LESS THAN 2 YEARS. SO, THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED. I WOULD LIKE TO GET HE AIR BAGS REPLACED, ANY SUGGESTIONS?

WHEN ONE OPENS THE TRUNK OF THE PARKED CAR, THE TRUNK DOOR QUICKLY OPENS ALL THE WAY AND THEN QUICKLY BOUNCES BACK PART WAY, SOMETIMES HITTING THE HEAD OF WHOEVER IT IS THAT IS STANDING NEXT TO THE TRUNK DOOR.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE TRANSMISSION STARTED 'SLIPPING.' WITHIN THE NEXT 2 MILES THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AND BEGAN JERKING AND APPEARED TO BRAKE ALTHOUGH MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE IT WAS TAKEN SAID TWO PARTS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION HAD FUSED TOGETHER...THE CAR WAS TRYING TO GO IN REVERSE WHEN PLACED IN NEUTRAL. HE SAID THEY HAD A HONDA ODYSSEY THERE WITH 160,000 MILES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES. DEFECTIVE PART, COMMON PROBLEM, OR UNLUCKY OWNER?

THE OTHER NIGHT I NOTICED FLUID ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. FIRST TIME I'VE NOTICED ANY LEAK OUT OF THIS CAR. LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND FOUND POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING FROM THE RACK AND PINON ON LH SIDE AT THE BOOT. LOOKS LIKE THE SAME LEAK I'VE BEEN SEEING OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT ONLINE. 63,000 MILES. ONLY USING HONDA POWER STEERING FLUID.

MY WINDSHIELD IS FULL OF SPECKS, WHICH IS CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVING, IF THE SUN HITS THE FRONT WINDOW ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW. THIS IS MY 3RD HONDA AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE , ONE CAR I HAD FOR 15 YEARS NO WINDSHIELD PROBLEM WITH IT . IT HAPPENS WHEN THE SUN HITS THE WINDOW, BUT ALSO ON A CLOUDY DAY. ITS VERY VISIBLE AND DIFFICULT TO SEE CLEARLY DRIVING OR JUST SITTING LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW.

BACKING INTO DRIVEWAY THE CAR ACCELERATED TO FULL SPEED BY ITS SELF. PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW. TRAVELLED ABOUT 60 FEET AND CRASHED INTO OUR DOUBLE GARAGE DOING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE GARAGE AND THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. NOT SURE WHAT SPEED CAR ACCELERATED TO, BEST GUESS 30 MPH.

POHANKA HONDA (CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD) - ADDRESSED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. HOWEVER, IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING SERVICED, THE WARNING LIGHT(S) REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG REMAINED ON (WHEN IT SHOULDN'T), AND DID NOT INDICATE (OFF) WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE. I REPORTED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD - THAT IT IS UNRELATED TO THE RECALL THEY HAD ADDRESSED, AND IT WAS A "SENSOR" ISSUE SEPARATE FROM THE RECALL WORK. THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE FOR ME PRIOR TO HAVING THE RECALL ADDRESSED, BUT NOW I HAVE THIS ISSUE AND I'D HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE CORRECTLY, HOW DO I KNOW I AM NOT DRIVING AT RISK...WHY AM I ORDERED TO PAY TO RESOLVE SOME ISSUE THAT WAS NOT APPARENT BEFORE TAKING MY CAR TO THIS DEALERSHIP.

MASTERCRAFT SRT TOURING M+S 225/60R18 TIRE. THE TIRE HAD BEEN ON THE CAR, BOUGHT NEW, SINCE 2014. THE CAR IS USED EVERYDAY SO IT DID NOT SIT AND DRY ROT NOR DOES THE TIRE HAVE ANY SIGNS OF DRY ROT. WIFE WAS ON INTERSTATE IN THE SLOW LANE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE. SHE HAD JUST LEFT HOME WITH THE CHILDREN AND HAD DRIVEN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MILES WHEN THE TIRE CAME APART AT THE SIDEWALLS ON BOTH SIDES. EXAMINATION OF THE TIRE SHOWS THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT PUNCTURED THE TIRE NOR WAS IT GOING FLAT OR LOW ON AIR AS THERE WAS NO SENSOR INDICATING THAT IT WAS LOW ON AIR. WE DO USE NITROGEN IN THE TIRES AND THE TIRES HAD ABOUT HALF + TIRE LIFE REMAINING. THE TIRE HAS BEEN SAVED BY ME ALONG WITH THE VALVE SENSOR FOR EXAMINATION IF WARRANTED. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE TIRE STORE WAITING FOR A DIFFERENT BRAND TIRE THAT WAS ORDERED TODAY AND TO BE INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE ON 2/5/2019. SO I DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENT TO UPLOAD TODAY.

'TAKATA RECALL'. I HAVE TAKEN MEASURES FOR THE SAFETY RECALLS, ADHERING TO REQUIRED DATES PROVIDED BY NHTSA OF THIS VEHICLE, ONE BEING THE AIR BAGS RECALLS. I WAS INVOLVED IN A RECENT CAR WRECK (JANUARY 12TH, 2019)AT WHICH THE DRIVER FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED FROM STEERING WHEEL. THE OPPOSING PASSENGER RAN A RED LIGHT AT A STREET/INTERSECTION PERPENDICULAR TO THE STREET I WAS TRAVELING ON. I T-BONED HER 2010 HONDA ACCORD IN THE REAR PANEL, DRIVER'S SIDE. I WAS TRAVELING AT SPEED LIMIT, APPROX 42 MPH AND SHE WAS TRAVELING AT EXCESSIVE SPEED BUT I AM UNAWARE OF HER SPEED LIMIT. MY VEHICLE CONTINUED IN A STRAIGHT PATH BUT COMPLETELY TOTALED THE FRONT END AND DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT PANEL, FRAME, ETC. AS FOR MY MY INJURY, I FELT BURNT ON BOTH WRISTS AT THE TIME OF IMPACT, BUT DUE TO SHOCK OF ACCIDENT I DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. OVER A COURSE OF 4-5 DAYS MY LEFT WRIST SHOWED SIGNIFICANT BURNS AND ONLY NOW, 23 DAYS LATER, HAS THE LEFT WRIST BURN BEGUN TO HEAL BUT WILL MOST DEFINITELY LEAVE AN OBVIOUS SCAR.

MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD STARTED HAVING PAINT ISSUES WHEN IT HAD 80,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND AMERICAN HONDA ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT REFUSED TO FIX IT. THE PAINT STARTED PEELING IN THE BACK WINDOW WELL AND HAS NOW SPREAD TO THE SIDE OF THE CAR. LARGE PAINT CHIPS COME OFF EXPOSING BARE METAL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE ROOF AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V661000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER (HONDA WEST, 7615 W SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89117, (800) 249-9504) ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL HIS INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,325.

DRIVING MY HONDA ON A COLD NIGHT AT 20 DEGREE, I HIT MY BRAKES AND THE CAR ACCELRATED AT A EXTREME HIGH SPEED, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AND CRASHED TOTALLING MY VEHICLE

LEFT AND RIGHT TRANSAXLES WENT BAD AND STARTED VIBRATING AFTER 52K MILES ON VEHICLE VIBRATIONS FELT DURING ACCELERATION. NO VIBRATION WHILE COASTING.

WHINING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD WHILE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND CONTINUED REGARDLESS OF THE CAR'S SPEED. CAUSE: POWER STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING. INTERNAL DAMAGE TO POWER STEERING PUMP. POWER STEERING RESERVOIR HAD DEBRIS IN IT CAUSING THE FLUID TO AERATE. SOLUTION: HONDA DEALERSHIP MECHANIC REPLACED THE POWER STEERING RACK, POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND POWER STEERING PUMP. NOTE: HAD BROUGHT CAR IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THIS SITUATION BACK ON AUGUST 4, 2017. RESULTS: MECHANIC FOUND THE POWER STEERING FLUID LOW AND PERFORMED A POWER STEERING FLUSH. HE ALSO STATED THAT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP MAY HAVE OCCURRED. NOISE WAS GONE AFTER THIS SERVICE.

THE STARTER OF MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD SPORT FAILED. MY CAR HAS 72500 MILES. HONDA HAS CLASSIFIED THIS A PREMATURE FAILURE CAUSED BY DEFECT, BUT HAS FAILED TO RECALL THE STARTER. THE STARTER THAT FAILED IS MADE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE STARTER FAILURE IS CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY CAUSING SERIOUS RISK. MANY HONDA CUSTOMERS HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH REPORTS OF STARTER FAILURE ON CARS WITH LESS THAN 30000 MILES. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS $800.00 AND HONDA HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR REIMBURSE THE COST OF THE FIX. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 2012 - 2017 HONDA ACCORD CARS WITH SIMILAR DEFECTIVE STARTER PART CURRENTLY ON AMERICAN ROADS, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO FAILURES AND ACCIDENTS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT THERE ARE NO HONDA DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2012 ACCORD LX-P MODEL SINCE 2013 THROUGH PURCHASE AFTER AN EXPIRED LEASE. IT IS A DEALER "CERTIFIED" VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM I HAVE RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED IS THE STRONG SMELL OF GAS TANK FUMES AFTER A FILL AND ALSO AFTER A LONG TRIP. THE ODOR HAS BECOME STRONGER IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR WHILE THE SMELL STILL LINGERS AT THE GAS CAP/FILL TUBE/ WHEEL WELL AREA. THE 2013 MODEL HAS THE SAME CONDITION AND IS NOTED AS A RECALL. MY MODEL WAS MANUFACTURED IN JUNE 2012. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE PART AND OR MANUFACTURING PROCEDURE IS RELEVANT TO THE DEFECT IDENTIFIED IN THE ADJOINING YEAR 2013 MODEL. ALTHOUGH RECALLS ARE DECLARED THROUGH THE CORPORATE SOURCE, WE MUST EXPECT CONSUMERS TO BE ALERT AND REPORT THESE CONDITIONS. GAS VAPOR IS DANGEROUS AND UNWANTED FOR ANY DRIVER OR HONDA CUSTOMER. HONDA DECLARES SAFETY IS THEIR MOST IMPORTANT PARAMETER. I WANT THIS MODEL TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL LISTING SINCE ACCORD RECALLS FOR GAS PROBLEMS ARE HISTORICALLY DECLARED IN THE PILOT, ODYSSEY ACURA(2015-2016), 2012 CIVIC AND 1983,1984,1985,1986,1987,2005,2013 ACCORDS. GAS RELATED ISSUES SHOULD BE THE UTMOST CONCERN FOR A MANUFACTURER AND THE HISTORICAL RELEVANCE OF THIS MATTER SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS CASE AS WELL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET I HEARD A LOUD NOISE (POP) I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DIDN'T SEE ANY VISUAL DAMAGE, SO I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE TRUNK AND THE TRUNK WOULD NOT POP OPEN, SO WHEN I LIFTED THE TRUNK THERE IS S BAR THAT WAS LAYING IN THE TRUNK, THE LITTLE WHITE PIECE THAT ROTATES THE BARS AND HOOKS THE BROKE SO THE TRUNK NO LONGER POPS UP WHEN TRUNK BUTTON IS PRESSED.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN ON PRIVATE PROPERTY PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR ACCELERATED IMMEDIATELY AND WENT VERY FAST. I COULD NOT STOP IT BUT A TREE DID. EVEN IF I HAD FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE GONE THAT FAST THAT QUICKLY. THE DISTANCE WAS ABOUT 20 FEET. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE READ OF OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM - PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE FORWARD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I COULDN'T STOP IT - BUT A TREE ABOUT 20 FEET AWAY DID. EVEN IF I HAD FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE GONE THAT FAST THAT QUICKLY. I HAVE READ OF OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. HONDA JUST SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.

TAKATA INFLATORS: THERE ARE CURRENTLY FOUR RECALLS FOR HONDA ACCORD 2012 FOR PASSENGER INFLATORS BUT FOR MY VIN THERE ARE NONE. MY VEHICLE WHICH ONLY HAS 39K MILES FAILED INSPECTION FOR MY SRS LIGHT. REGARDLESS OF THE MILLIONS OF AIRBAG RECALLS HONDA HAS DONE THEY REFUSED TO SCAN MY CAR FOR THE SRS CODE UNLESS I PAID THEM FOR IT. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD THE SCAN DONE FOR FREE AND GOT SRS CODE 32-10 "OPEN OR INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR". I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE NOW BECAUSE OF THIS AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE 1400 PLUS DOLLARS TO HAVE THESE ITEMS THAT SHOULDN'T BE DEFECTIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE REPAIRED. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MY VEHICLE IS ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2012 AND TO DATE HAVE HAD REPAIRS TO EITHER REPLACE OR RESURFACE ROTORS WITH NEW BRAKE PADS 3 TIMES NOW. IT'S UNREAL AND VERY COSTLY. CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD DO A RECALL, THAT'S EXCESSIVE. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD. WHO HAS TO REPLACE ROTORS IN A CAR THAT'S SO YOUNG AND I'M CONTINUING DOING IT. IT'S 2018 AND I'M UP TO 3 TIMES NOW AND ONLY AT 83,000 MILES. DEFINITELY NOT LIVING UP TO THE HONDA BRAND.
