2012 Honda Accord Complaint Log

ENGINE GRINDS DURING COLD STARTUP. ENGINE NOISE PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER DURING DRIVING AND IDLING. HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND FINALLY ISSUED A FIX BUT MY CAR IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD THAT THEY'VE ADVERTISED. I FEEL CHEATED BECAUSE HONDA SEEMS TO HAVE WAITED UNTIL ENOUGH CARS WERE OUT OF WARRANTY BEFORE ISSUING A COSTLY FIX THAT THEY'VE KNOWN OF FOR CLOSE TO A DECADE.

TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET THROUGH AN INTERSECTION STARTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN MOVING ABOUT 20 MPH, MY RIGHT PASSENGER FRONT TIRE HIT A POTHOLE. THAT IS WHEN THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THAT AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY IN THESE CONDITIONS, AS THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I HIT NOTHING, MEANING THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE BODY OF THE CAR, YET THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND FRIGHTENED ME TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO STOP IN THE INTERSECTION TO GATHER MYSELF BACK TOGETHER. HONDA TELLS ME THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS WITH MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE, BUT THERE ARE PLENTY NOTED WITH MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR, BUT JUST NOT WITH MINE IN PARTICULAR. I HAVE CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND PLEADED MY CASE WITH THEM AS WELL, AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY, WHICH I DO NOT THINK IS APPROPRIATE. THERE HAS TO BE A DEFECT IN WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AT SUCH A LOW SPEED WITH A POTHOLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE POTHOLE WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, YET THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOY. SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT WITH THE CAR AND HONDA IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING IT. I ALSO TOLD HONDA I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW, I FEEL THAT IF I HIT ANOTHER BUMP IN THE ROAD AN AIRBAG IS GOING TO DEPLOY. IT'S A SCARY SITUATION, BUT HONDA DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT IT. PLEASE BRING THIS CASE TO THEM, AS SOMEONE THERE IN UPPER MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THESE TYPES OF THINGS ARE GOING ON, AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE JUST DON'T SEEM TO CARE. THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED AND COVERED COMPLETELY BY HONDA, AS I DID NOTHING WRONG, BUT LEFT WITH A BIG MESS AND A BIG BILL TO CLEAN UP. PICTURES ATTACHED. THANK YOU.

THE AIR BAG ICON ON THE DASHBOARD COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING; I CHECKED THE RECALL LIST FOR THE TAKATA RECALL, BUT MY VIN # ISN'T LISTED FOR THE CARS AFFECTED.

WE FOUND OUR CAR IN THE GARAGE WITH ALL THE WINDOWS WIDE OPEN INCLUDING THE MOON ROOF WINDOW. THE RED CIRCLE ALARM WAS FLASHING. I STARTED THE CAR AND THE ALARM WENT OUT. THEN ALL WAS FINE. WHAT COULD CAUSE THAT? AND COULD IT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING?

ON JAN 16, 2018 I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON E. KINGS, SHREVEPORT, LA IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A 4-LANE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 3:40PM. IT HAD SNOWED THE PREVIOUS DAY AND THERE WERE STILL PATCHES OF ICE ON ROADWAYS IN MANY SPOTS. AS I APPROACHED ONE OF THOSE ICE PATCHES AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, WHICH COVERED BOTH LANES IN THE SOUTHERLY DIRECTION I WAS HEADED, AN SUV BEHIND ME AND TRAVELLING THE SAME DIRECTION BEGAN TO PASS MY VEHICLE, LOST CONTROL OF HIS VEHICLE ON THE ICE AND INTO NORTHBOUND LANE AND WHEN HE HIT DRY PAVEMENT ON THAT SIDE OF ROAD VEERED SHARPLY RIGHT AND HIT MY CAR BROADSIDE WITH THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER OF HIS VEHICLE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE HONDA AND MY HEAD WAS BANGED AGAINST THE INSIDE PILLAR ON DRIVERS SIDE. COLLISION RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE HONDA'S DRIVER DOOR, LEFT REAR DOOR SEVERELY DAMAGED AND PULLED SLIGHTLY FROM VEHICLE; AND LIGHT DAMAGE ON LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL. BOTH VEHICLES REMAINED IN MOTION UNTIL THE COLLISION. SUV SPUN AGAIN AFTER IMPACT & CAME TO A STOP BLOCKING BOTH SOUTHBOUND LANES WITH FRONT OF VEHICLE FACING THE NORTHBOUND LANES. II WAS USING MY SEATBELT AS I ALWAYS DO. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT CONSIDERING THE SPEED OF THE SUV WHEN IT HIT MY HONDA, THE DAMAGE IT INFLICTED ON THE HONDA, AND THE FACT IT SPUN THE SUV BACK AROUND COMPLETELY FACING ANOTHER DIRECTION (IMAGE SUV 1) THAT AT LEAST THE SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED ON HONDA.

YESTERDAY MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE RECALL LIST FOR MY VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR ON.

TAKATA RECALL

THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL ACTUATOR MAKES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED IN THE MORNING FOR THE FIRST TIME. THAT IS THE ONLY TIME IT RATTLES; THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. THE MECHANIC SAYS IF THE ACTUATOR FAILS THE CAR WILL STOP WHEREVER IT IS. IF I'M IN TRAFFIC IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT; I LIVE IN THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA WHERE TRAFFIC IS USUALLY HEAVY WHICH COMPOUNDS THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY HONDA IS REPAIRING THE VTC ACTUATOR ON SOME HONDA ACCORDS, BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE FIX LIST, SO HONDA RECOGNIZES IT IS AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM, AND IT IS WIDE SPREAD ENOUGH THAT THEY ARE REPAIRING SOME HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE RIGHT VIN. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH HONDA ACCORD OWNER COMPLAINTS SO I KNOW THE PROBLEM IS HIGH IN NUMBERS. THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL, STATE OF CALIFORNIA REFERRED ME TO YOUR AGENCY AND ENCOURAGED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM DUE TO AN ENGINEERING MISSTEP IN PLANNING AND PRODUCTION. FURTHER I THINK IT POSES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR HONDA ACCORD OWNERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC IF THE ENGINE MALFUNCTIONS AS THE AUTO TECHNICIANS SAY IT WILL. I THINK HONDA RECOGNIZES THE PROBLEM, BUT ARE ADDRESSING IT IN A PIECE-MEAL FASHION RATHER THAN ISSUING A RECALL. I HOPE YOU CAN GIVE ME AND OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS SOME RELIEF. THANK YOU

THE VEHICLE WAS BACKING UP AND WHEN PUT IN DRIVE TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I WAS BRAKING AS HARD AS I COULD AND IT WENT OVER THE BLOCK CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND HITTING THE BUILDING CAUSING DAMAGE . THIS HAPPENED AFTER FILLING MY CAR UP WITH GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS.

TAKATA RECALL -RECEIVED NOTICE

AXELS STARTED CAUSING EXTREME VIBRATION AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT INVOLVES MOST OF THESE CARS. I MADE A CLAIM, IT HONDA SAYS ISSUE DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND DISCUSSION WITH MY MECHANIC, IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING DEFECTIVE IN THE AXLE. HONDA REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANYTHING IN WRITING DENYING MY CLAIM, AND HAD MADE THE DECISION PRIOR TO SPEAKING WITH ME.

WHILE DRIVING CAR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ENGINE RAN ROUGH NEXT THE TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON, WILL NOT TURN OFF. NOW AFTER CHECKING THE OIL ADDED LESS THAN A QAURT,STILL ROUGH MISFIRES.

TIRES ON HONDA ACCORDS ARE CUPPING FOR NO GIVEN REASON, THERE WAS A RECALL ON HONDA CIVIC FOR CUPPING, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR CUPPING ON HODA ACCONRD V6 AND SEDDAN, TOOOOOO MANY COMPLAINTS , EVEN WHEN ALIGNMENTS TIRE ROTATION AND ALL DONE ON TIME

I NOTICE WHITE THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE AIR BAG KEEP POPPING UP ON AND OFF

THE CAR MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN I START THE ENGINE. IT STOPS AFTER A FEW SECONDS.I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS GOOD.

GLASS CAME OUT OF THE PASSENGER DOOR AIRBAG, BUT NO GLASS WAS BROKEN AND MY WINDOWS ARE ALL TINTED AND THIS WAS CLEAR GLASS IT WAS ALL OVER ME, IN MY EAR, SCALP ARMS AND WRISTS. I WAS HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER

I JUST BROUGHT THIS CAR IN 2016 AND IT ALREADY NEEDING NEW TIRES I THINK WHERE I GOT THE CAR FROM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ME SOME NEW TIRES.

I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE91 IN VERMONT WHEN MY SUN ROOF EXPLODED, SHATTERING GLASS ALL OVER THE FRONT AND BACK SEATS AND FLOOR AS WELL AS COVERING ME. THE NOISE WAS DEAFENING AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING WHILE GOING ALONG AT A SPEED OF 69 MPH. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HAPPENING, BUT WHEN I CONTACTED THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE THEY TOLD ME THEY WAS NOTHING THEY WERE GOING TO DO TO HELP IF RAY THE COST!

ON 7/1/2017, I PURCHASED THE ABOVE VEHICLE WITH 12,000+ MILES FROM YONKERS HONDA @ 1980 CENTRAL PARK AVE, YONKERS, NY WITH THE PROVISO THAT THE TPMS LIGHT WHICH WAS ON WOULD BE CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO YONKERS HONDA SERVICE @ 500 YONKERS AVE., YONKERS, NY WHEREUPON A SENSOR WOULD BE REPLACED & THAT THIS ACTION TAKES 4 HOURS. I HAVE BEEN TO THE SERVICE STATION 3 TIMES - JULY 6, JULY 13 & JULY 25 & STILL THE PROBLEM IS UNRESOLVED. I AM BEGINNING TO WORRY THAT THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THIS FEATURE. 1ST HONDA SERVICE ORDERED THE WRONG PART, THEN THE "CORRECT" PART CAME LATE AND YESTERDAY, MY VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR SHOP FROM 7AM UNTIL 2PM AND STILL IT'S NOT RESOLVED. THIS DESERVES AN INVESTIGATION AS I FEAR MY TIRE/S BEING UNDERINFLATED OR WORSE OVERINFLATED AND NOT KNOWING SO. I FEEL THAT I WAS NOT TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE AND AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT THE LOW MILEAGE PERHAPS ATTRIBUTED TO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

FRONT DRIVERS WHEEL BEARING FAILED AT 74,000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED, THE BRAKES LOCKED AND FAILED TO RESPOND, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (NARDY HONDA SMITHTOWN, 559 MIDDLE COUNTY RD, ST JAMES, NY 11780), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (ATLANTIC HONDA, 1375 SUNRISE HIGHWAY, BAYSHORE, NY 11706) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

THE TIMING BETWEEN SHIFTS ON THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTS ARE GOOD SOMETIMES AND WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS ON IT MAKES NOISES AND CAUSES THE CAR TO HAVE LATENCY IN GEAR SHIFTS, THE FRONT WHEEL HUB COVERS FALL OFF CAUSING THE TIRE TO ROLL OVER THE PLASTIC AND RIP IT OFF THE BODY , THE COOLANT SYSTEM IS DEFINITELY COMPROMISED BECAUSE THE CAR OVERHEATS TOO FAST ESPECIALLY IN HOT WEATHER, THE DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD GET CAUGHT UP IN AND AROUND THE ENGINE AND AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM FROM THE WHEEL COVERS BEING FAULTY THE PARKING BREAK DOESN'T WORK WELL AND IT'S BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT OFF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR ALSO THE TIE RODS WEAR OUT SO FAST CAUSING MAJOR PROBLEMS WHILE ON HIGHWAY SHAKING AND VIBRATING THE CAR AND STEERING WHEEL, ALSO THE CAR BURNS OIL SO FAST THAT YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER AT MAX 3000 MILES, BEING THAT THE NEWER MODELS ARE HAVING TIMING BELT RECALLS IN JUNE 2019 THIS LEADS ME TO QUESTION WHY MY MODEL WOULDN'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUES IF NOT WORSE

THE CAR ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING ON OUR CITY STREET. ALSO WE ARE UNABLE TO PUSH DOWN THE BREAK. ( LUCKY NO ONE BEHIND US AND WE ARE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY) . WE HAD TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF POSITION AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THANK YOU

LEAKING IS OBSERVED AT RACK AND PINION.

THE FOAM COVERING THE METAL FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S BACK REST HAS EITHER SHIFTED OR IS SO THIN THAT IS HAS WORN THROUGH AND THAT ALLOWS DIRECT CONTACT BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S BACK AND THE METAL FRAME. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, I FEEL THAT THE DIRECT CONTACT OF THE METAL SEAT FRAME WILL RESULT IN INJURY OR INCREASED INJURY TO THE DRIVER.

RODENT CHEWED THROUGH SOY COVERED EVAP VENT SHUT VALVE WIRE, ABS AND VSA SENSOR WIRES. CAR WAS PARKED IN GARAGE AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON NEXT TIME CAR WAS DRIVEN.

HARD TO STEAL AT FIRST . SPEED OF WINDSHIELD WIPER CHANGES AT WILL WHILE IN USE.

TAKARA RECALL, I KNOW THE FACT THAT IS SOME DEATH ACCIDENTS IN U.S. I WILL JOIN THE GROUP OF PEOPLE IN THE TAKARA RECALL.

PERIODICALLY DURING ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO LOSE POWER OR HESITATE TO BEGIN WITH IT WAS BARELY NOTICEABLE NOW WHEN IT OCCURS IT'S VERY OBVIOUS AND NORMALLY TAKES THREE TO FIVE SECONDS TO RECOVER

SOLD ME A CAR WITH A BAD TIRE ROD DID NOT KNOW IT ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR TOOK IT ONE TIME TO HONDA AND THEY SAID IT WAS ALL RIGHT TOOK IT TO MY OWN MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME I HAD A BAD TIRE ROD

"TAKATA RECALL" MY ACCORD'S STEERING HAS A WEIRD VIBRATION GOING OVER 30 - 60 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE MY FRONT WHEELS WOBBLES. AFTER MAKING SURE THE WHEELS WERE OK, ITS LATER FOUND THAT THERE IS A STEERING LEAK. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, IT IS IMPACTING THE WEARING OF THE TIRES UNEVENLY. AFTER I ROTATED AND BALANCED IT, THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. THE HONDA DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE MORE THAN $4500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE BUT AFTER READING SO MANY SIMILAR ISSUES IT APPEARS THAT IT CONTINUES TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO HONDA RELIABILITY BUT, IT IS TROUBLING. I WENT TO HAVE THEM ADDRESS THE TAKATA RECALL BUT I KEEP GETTING CALLS FROM THEM WHEN I ALREADY WENT TO GET IT "FIXED". NOT SURE IF THEY ACTUALLY DID THE JOB BECAUSE I CALLED THEM BACK AND I HAVE THE NOTIFICATION STATING THAT THE WORK WAS DONE, BUT ANOTHER DEPARTMENT WAS TELLING ME IT WASN'T DONE. I HOPE THIS IS NOT HAPPENING ELSEWHERE.

I WAS IN A CRASH YESTERDAY 04/18/17 AT AROUND 4:55-5:00PM DUE TO MY BRAKES NOT REACTING AS THEY SHOULD AND STOPPING MY CAR. I REAR ENDED A CAR BECAUSE OF THIS AND MY FRONT OF MY CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE, BUT THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND NOTICED THAT MY SEATBELT HAD UNFASTENED AFTER THE INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND WAS IN TRAFFIC ON THE 405 SOUTHBOUND GETTING CLOSE TO THE 22 FWY EXIT BY SEAL BEACH. IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN CRUISING SPEED, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE OUTCOME, SEEING THAT THESE 3 RED FLAGS OCCURRED.

2 JAN 17 WAS REAR ENDED. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE FRAME WITH A REPAIR COST OF $7000. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. 5 APR 17 WAS REAR ENDED AT A RED LIGHT. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF TRUNK AND DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR COST OF $6700. AGAIN AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED

"TAKATA RECALL" I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR HEAVILY VIBRATING WHEN THE CAR REACHED 60,000 WHICH IS A CONCERN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IF FELT UNSAFE, I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AT ONLY 30,000 MILES, THEY SAID IT WAS CRACKED SEALS IN THE STEERING RACK. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLE, VIBRATE. THEY FIXED IT, AGAIN IT HAPPENED AT 55,000 MILES, THEN AGAIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES LATER REPLACING THE STEERING COLUMN. ALL UNDER WARRANTY, THANK GOD I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IS THIS NORMAL. NOW I AM FULLY OUT OF WARRANTY, IT IS BEGINNING TO VIBRATE AGAIN. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE I GOT THIS MAKE AND MODEL, NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH ANOTHER HONDA. JUST CONCERNED THAT IT WILL BE AN EXPENSIVE ISSUE THAT SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM SINCE EARLY ON. THE CAR WOULD BE IN MOTION, INVOLVEMENT WAS WHEN REACHING A SPEED OF 55 OR HIGHER ON THE HIGHWAY. IT STILL VIBRATED AT LOWER SPEED BUT BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE PAST THAT POINT AND THE CAR WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT WITH A STIFF WHEEL.
