2012 Honda Accord Complaint Log

I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE OUTLINED IN HONDA TSB 09-010, AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER THAT WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER CHANGED OUT THE VTC CONTROLLER. 63,000 MILES. NOT COVERED DUE TO OUT OF WARRANTY (5 YEARS/60,000 MILES). I ASKED IF THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR RECALL AND THE DEALER SAID NO. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE ACCORD AND CRV, YET HONDA FAILS TO ISSUE A RECALL.

I NOTICED MY STEERING WAS GETTING HARD TO TURN AROUND 42K MILES. AFTER CHANGED NEW TIRES AND DONE WHEEL BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT, THE SAME CONTINUED AND FELT THE PAIN IN MY HANDS EVERY TIME. I REQUESTED TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL AND THE HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT NO ISSUES. AS TIME CONTINUED THE STEERING PROBLEM GOT WORST. WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WAS NOT GOOD, ITS HARD TO SIMPLE TURN ALSO MY WIFE ALSO OBSERVED THE SAME AND TOLD ME THAT MANUAL POWER WHILE GETTING OUT OF PARKING SPACES, OR WHEN HAVING TO TURN WHILE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN DURING THE OIL CHANGE AND HE HAS TOLD ME THAT IT NEED TO BE REPLACED AND LITTLE BIT DIRTY AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY AFTER A WHILE. IT IS SAME AND NO PROGRESS, IT GOT WORST! ASKING THE DEALERSHIP FOR COST RELIEF FROM HONDA FOR REPAIR AND DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST THOUGH. *TR

THE VEHICLE CONSUME TOO MUCH OIL. OIL CHANGED ON 10/22/2016 AND TODAY 10/26/2016 THE VEHICLE SHOWS 10% ALREADY CONSUMED. THE VEHICLE IS FOR PERSONAL USE, IS DRIVEN ABOUT 6 MILES A DAY.

41000 MILES POWER STEERING LEAKING , FRONT WHEEL BEARING NEEDS REPLACING . NEED TO REPLACE ENTIRE STEERING RACK TO TUNE OF 1700 DOLLARS. STEERING LEAKING SINCE 25000 MILES. HONDA SHOULD RECALL. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS INVOLVING STEERING PROBLEMS. CAVEAT EMPTOR!

TIRE INFLATION METER ARE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR SIMPLE FLAT REPAIRS. CONSUMER RIP OFF CAUSED BUT GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS REQUIRED TIRES TO HAVE PRESSURE SENSOR AND WARNING LIGHTS. EACH TIRE HAS AN EXPENSIVE $80 SENSOR THAT EASILY LEAKS OR GETS BUMPED BY MECHANICS. IT COST ME $200 TO STOP THE LEAKS AND WARNING LIGHTS. ON FIRST LOOK, SOUNDS LIKE A NICE IDEA BUT IN PRACTICE COMPANIES ARE RIPPING US OFF DOING SIMPLE NAIL FIXES. THE MECHANICS WEAKING, PURPOSELY LOOSEN THE VALUE AND SAY IT IS OUR CAR'S COMPUTER PROBLEM. PLEASE DO NOT REQUIRED CARS TO HAVE THESE MONITORS. THANKS FOR LISTENING. SOUNDS LIKE THE LOBBYIST ARE CREATING MONEY GRABS. REGARDS JOHN

STEERING WHEEL SHAKE OR VIRATE WHEN ON BREAKE AT HIGH WAY SPEED 15555 MILES ONLY...

VTC ACUATOR IS FAULTY. FOR 2 YEARS NOW I'VE HAD A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I START THE CAR AND NO CAR SHOP HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG UP UNTIL YESTERDAY I FOUND OUT IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR THAT'S MAKING THE GRINDING SOUND AND IT'S BEEN DRAINING MY OIL. I CALL AMERICA HONDA TO SEE IF IT HAS A RECALL FOR THIS FAULTY PART AND ALL I AM TOLD IS THAT IF I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 3 YEARS OR UNDER 35 THOUSAND MILES THEN IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHICH THE CAR IS 2012. SO THE $700 THAT ALL SHOPS WANT TO FIX THIS PART IS BEING PUT ALL ON THE OWNER WITH NO WARNING THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS HAD A LAWSUIT BEFORE FOR THE EXCESSIVE OIL BEING LOST BUT NOT FOR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WHICH IS THE VTC ACTUATOR. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THE CARS THAT THEY HAVE SOLD WITH THE FAULTY VTC ACUATORS AND PAY FOR THIS MISTAKE THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS. WHEN MY ENGINE DIES IT WILL BE ON HONDA FOR NOT PROPERLY MAKING AND SELLING THESE FAULTY CARS.

IN 2016 WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW VISIBILITY WAS (SLIGHTLY) DISTORTED AROUND THE DEFROSTER LINES. AT THAT TIME I WAS DOWNSIZING FROM A HONDA ODYSSEY, SO I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST MY EYES PLAYING TRICKS WITH ME BECAUSE I WAS USED TO A LARGER REAR WINDOW WHERE THE DEFROSTER LINES WERE NOT SO CLOSE TOGETHER. THIS DISTORTION GRADUALLY GOT WORSE, AND AS OF JULY 2018, THE DISTORTION HAS COVERED THE ENTIRE WINDOW. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WITHIN THE GLASS ITSELF SEPARATING AND CAUSING RIPPLES. THE WINDOW STILL HAS THE HONDA STAMP ON THE GLASS, SO ITS FACTORY TINTED AND INSTALLED, THIS ISN'T AN AFTERMARKET WINDOW AND IT.

I HAVE THE HONDA ACCORD SE 2012. LAST TIME I TOOK IT FOR A OIL CHANGE AND WHERE THEY ALSO PERFORM A CHECK IN HONDA AUSTIN,TEXAS WHEN IT WAS ONLY 36 K MILES DONE. THEY NOTIFIED POWER STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING BUT IT IS GOOD TO GO. NOTHING MAJOR. I HAVE OBSERVED THE STEERING HAS BECOME VERY HARD RECENTLY AND MAKES A LOT OF NOISE WHILE AT LOW SPEED. I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE IN GERMAIN HONDA ON SAWMILL ROAD IN COLUMBUS. THEY INSPECTED AND TOLD ME IT WILL COST ME 1700 BUCKS. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINS ON THE WEB FOR THE SAME. THEY STILL DENIED IT. A 2012 MODEL VEHILCE WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT IF IT NEEDS 2000 DOLLAR SERVICING AND PART CHANGE IT IS VERY HARSH. I HAVE NEVER IMAGINED HONDA ACCORD CAN GIVE YOU SUCH PROBLEMS. I WILL TRY TO REACH OUT TO HONDA INCASE THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE PART.

ALLSTATE CLAIM NUMBER: 0419487707 EDWARD DUGAN ALLSTATE AGENCY 1-630-351-9222 MY CAR DAMAGE DUE TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE ACCIDENT HAPPED 7/1/16 AT BETWEEN 12/30 AND 1PM. WHEN IT HAPPENED, I DID NOT HAVE BRAKING ON THE BRAKE PETAL OR POWER STEERING. I DID A HALF CIRCLE IN MY YARD TO AVOID HITTING THE HOUSE OR GARAGE. IT HAPPENED FROM A STOP IN THE CULL-DE-SAC. IT LEFT ACCELERATION TIRE STRIPES WHERE IT STARTED IN THE CULL-DE-SAC. IN THE DRIVEWAY IT MARKED WHERE I TURNED. I TRIED TO AVOID THE GARAGE AND THEN THE HOUSE BY MAKING A SEMI CIRCLE IN THE YARD. I CLIPPED THE CONCRETE STEPS AT THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. RAN OVER 2 SECTIONS OF A 4 FT. FENCE IN OUR YARD. HITTING THE CONCRETE STEPS SLOWED THE CAR SO AFTER THE FENCE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STOPPED THE CAR. THE CAR FIX WAS OVER $5000, AND WE HAD A $150 DEDUCTIBLE . SORRY ALLSTATE. CAR FIX AT SERVICE KING 5TH AVE. IN NAPERVILLE, IL

MY TPMS SENSORS IS CONSTANTLY COMING ON AND OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO A CLOSEST DEALER FROM MY WORK. DEALER WAS ABLE TO VERIFY MY COMPLAIN AND CHANGED 3 SENSORS OUT OF 4. I TOOK A LONG TRIP APPX. 2000 MILES. AND STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SAME ISSUES. SENSOR HAS STARTED TO COME OFF AND ON AGAIN. SO I SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH MY HONDA DEALER FROM WHOM I GOT THE CAR. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO VERIFY COMPLAIN. SO RIGHT NOW I'M FRUSTRATED. I USED MY TIME TO TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALER AND SINCE IT'S THE ONLY CAR IN MY HOUSEHOLD I SPENT MONEY FOR TRANSPORTATION. I DRIVE 30 MILES TO WORK EVERY DAY AND STILL EXPERIENCE SAME ISSUES WITH TPMS SENSOR IT'S COMING ON AND OFF EVERY TIME I DRIVE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, CAR WAS SHAKING WHEN DRIVING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD OIL LEVEL PRESSURE SWITCH IS BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED( MTC P3400),IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER 5YR 60K MILES POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IT WAS QUOTED >$300 TO FIX THE CAR. THE CAR HAS 59K MILES ON. I DIDNT WANT TO PAY FOR THE FIX, PAID THE $115 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, BOUGHT THE $40 NEW PRESSURE SWITCH AND REPLACED IT MYSELF. HOW CAN A OIL LEVEL PRESSURE SWITCH NOT COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY? IT HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES.

VTC ACTUATOR GRINDING NOISE - IN THE SPRING OF 2015 I STARTED TO NOTICE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED IN THE MORNING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HONDA OF BOWIE (BOWIE, MARYLAND) ON MAY 23, 2015, AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE VTC ACTUATOR AND THAT HONDA HAD THE CONCERN UNDER INVESTIGATION, AND THAT HONDA WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THEY ALSO SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WITH ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY YEAR SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR IN, AND HONDA HAS NOT CONTACTED ME AND THE GRINDING NOISE NOW OCCURS NOT ONLY EVERY MORNING BUT NOW EVERY TIME THE CAR SITS FOR A COUPLE HOURS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE LONG TERM RELIABILITY OF THIS CAR AND ASSOCIATED FUTURE REPAIR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE FRONT BUMPER FRACTURED AND DETACHED, AND THE RADIATOR FRAME UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WERE DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED SHOULDER AND ARM INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,053.

THE DRIVER SEAT IN MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT I NOW HAVE TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR MY NECK SHOULDER LOWER BACK AND LEG PAIN. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND TRY TO TAKE IT BACK 2 DAYS LATER BUT I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR I OWNED A SATURN FOR 16 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS I WAS SITTING ON 3 INCHES OF FOAM RUBBER FOR MY BACK AND THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT BUT THE PAIN STILL PERSISTS. NOW I SIT ON PILLOWS AND THAT IS NO LONGER HELPING BUT I ALSO PUT MY LEFT FOOT ON THE SEAT OR UP ON THE DASHBOARD TO RELIEVE MY LOWER BACK. I KNOW IT IS THE CAR AS I HAVE USED OTHER PEOPLE'S CARS AND WHILE I STILL GET PAIN IT IS NOT AS SEVERE AS WHEN I AM IN MY HONDA FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. DRIVING TO SEE FAMILY 75 MILES AWAY I HAVE TO TAKE TWO BREAKS. THE PAIN I HAVE PERSIST WHEN I AM OUT OF THE CAR BUT IT IS NOT AS SEVERE AS IT IS WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS THROUGHOUT MY LIFETIME AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING AS BAD AS THIS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS BEFORE INCLUDING PHOTOGRAPHS OF MYSELF WITH MY LEG ON THE DASHBOARD, I HAVE COMPLAINED TO HONDA NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE.

HONDA ACCORD 2012 MODEL TRUNK SPRING BROKEN LEADING TRUNK FREE FALLING CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HUMAN BODY DAMAGE OR POTENTIAL FATAL ISSUE IF KID OR TEENAGER IS INVOLVED. WHAT HAPPENED ON MY 2012 ACCORD (LESS THAN 4 YR AND ABOUT 51K MIL) IS ONE OF TWO TRUNK SPRING IS BROKEN AT END. I BELIEVE IT IS SERIOUS QUALITY ISSUE BASED ON MY OBSERVATION DUE TO MATERIAL FATIGUE. I GOT HIT ON MY HEAD AFTER OPENING THE TRUNK BUT NOT AWARE OF TRUNK FREE FALLING DUE TO SPRING BROKEN WHEN I WAS MOVING STUFF IN THE TRUNK. AS ADULT, I STAND TALL SO THE TRAVEL DISTANCE OF FALLING TRUNK ABOVE MY HEAD IS SHORT HOWEVER I STILL FEEL THE PAIN NOW. NO BLEEDING BUT BRUISE FOR SURE. IMAGINE IF KID OR TEENAGER IS INVOLVED, THE DAMAGE TO HUMAN BODY CAN BE SERIOUS AND EVEN FATAL. I DID TEST MYSELF BY PUTTING KID HELMET AND PLASTIC BOTTLE THERE. THE HELMET SURFACE HAS DENT AND CUT FOR SURE AFTER TRUNK FREE FALLING. THE BOTTLE IS TOTALLY SMASHED BY FREE FALLING TRUNK. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND REALIZED THAT THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON OUR CAR COULD BE 1ST ONE HAPPENED ON THIS STILL KINDE OF NEW 2012 ACCORD. I AM AFRAID IT WILL START SHOWING UP AND THE IMPACT DEFINITELY CAN BE SERIOUS HUMAN BODY DAMAGE EVEN FATAL DEPENDING ON WHO IS INVOLVED AND PEOPLE MAY NOT BE AWARE OF TRUNK SPRING BROKEN WITH BODY (HEAD, ARM, HAND...) UNDERNEATH FREE FALLING TRUNK. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND RELATED GOVERNMENT RELATED INSTITUTION AND HONDA TO INVESTIGATE SERIOUSLY. IF IT HAS TO BE RECALL, IT HAS TO BE QUICK. IT (HIT BY FALLING TRUNK) ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME AND MY WIFE. WE ALREADY PUT WARNING SIGN ON THE TRUNK TO OUR KID NOT OPENING IT BEFORE FIX. I HAVE BOTH TEST VIDEOS AND PHOTOS SHOWING THE SERIOUS IMPACT BY FREE FALLING TRUNK HOWEVER DUE TO FILE SIZE LIMITATION, I CAN ONLY UPLOAD 5 PHOTOS. I CAN PROVIDE FURTHER VIDEOS AND ADDITIONAL PHOTOS IF REQUIRED.

TWO REAR DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK WHEN USEING THE SWITCHES ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. AND REAR DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK WHEN USING THE REMOTE ON THE KEY RING. THE DOOR MOTORS SOUND LIKE THEY ARE DYING. ALL OF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN THE OFF MODE ENGINE NOT RUNNING AND IN PARK.

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT OIL SEAL WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. IT WAS SPRAYING BRAKE FLUID UNDERNEATH MY DRIVERS DOOR WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. SEAL WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BY THE HONDA DEALER.

NOTICED A SHUDDER IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKING. DEALER HAD TO REPAIR BRAKE ROTORS -- CAR ONLY HAS 24000 MILES.

THREE DAYS AGO, MY AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWED UP ON MY CAR'S DASHBOARD, ALTHOUGH IT WENT OFF AFTER SWITCHING THE IGNITION OFF WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION. IT SHOULD UP AGAIN THE EVENING OF THE NEXT DAY. THIS CONCERN ME . HAS THERE BEEN A POSSIBLE OVERSIGHT ON THE RECALL OF AIRBAGS ON MY CAR.

I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AND THE LADY SHE CAME FROM PARKING LOT N HIT ME UP. SHE HAD STOP SAYING BUT SHE DIDN'T STOP. I DO HAVE MY POLICE REPORT IF YOU GUYS NEED TO? ...UPDATED 08/01/16 *BF *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

THE TIRE PRESSURE MS LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON. EVEN AFTER WE PUT AIR IN THE TIRES. IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE BECAUSE WE HAVE NO IDEA IF IT'S REALLY LOW ON PRESSURE OR IF IT'S JUST DEFECTIVE.

FROZEN DRIVER SIDE REAR CALIPER.

WINDOW TAB FAILURE. WHILE IN MOTION ON SURFACE STREETS DRIVER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. DRIVER LIGHTLY PUSHED ON WINDOW TO TRY TO JOSTLE THE WINDOW LOOSE. WINDOW THEN COLLAPSED INTO DOOR WELL. WINDOW WAS SUBSEQUENTLY STUCK IN THE DOOR WELL. DRIVER WAS EXPECTANTLY EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS AND UNABLE TO MANIPULATE WINDOW UP OR DOWN. VEHICLE IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH 59,044 MILES. HONDA AUTOMOTIVE SHOP IDENTIFIED THAT THE WINDOW CAME UNGLUED FROM THE TAGS HOLDING IT IN PLACE. HONDA SHOP IDENTIFIED THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS ON A CAR THIS NEW, MAY BE COMMON FOR A 20-30 YEAR OLD CAR BUT NOT FOR A HONDA THIS NEW.

I'M ON MY 4TH SET OF REAR BRAKES AT 70K MILES. THE FRONT ARE ORIGINAL. AND THIS WEEK, MY DRIVER REAR WHEEL WAS VERY HOT TO THE POINT OF A VERY STRONG ODOR. MECHANIC TORE REAR BRAKES PARTS APART AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AFTER THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V030000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE TEMPERED GLASS SUNROOF EXPLODED UPWARDS, LEAVING SHARDS OF GLASS IN A PATTERN LIKE A CROWN. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 60 DEGREES, I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON A LONELY STRETCH OF TWO-LANE ROAD WITH NO OTHER CARS OR PEOPLE AROUND ME. THE SOUND WAS LIKE A TIRE BLOWOUT. THE CAR IS HOUSED IN A GARAGE AND HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT. THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER SAID SOMETHING HAD TO HAVE HIT IT, BUT HE IS WRONG. NOTHING HIT IT.

ENGINE COOLANT, THERMOSTAT, RADIATOR AND ENGINE FAILED AT A MERE 37K MILES. HONDA REFUSED TO COVER. IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT STARTED SMOKING AND SHOOTING OUT FLUID FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HAD IT TOWED TO TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS ONLY TO NOT HAVE IT COVERED.

MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 88,000 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS STARTING TO SCREAM. IS THERE A POSSIBLE RECALL ON THIS ITEM?

MOST UNCOMFORTABLE CAR SEAT EVER MAKES YOUR LOWER BACK HURT AND LEGS GO NUMB

TAKATA RECALL - THE CURTAIN AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG GETS DEACTIVATED FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING WITH NO REASON. ALSO MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPALCED DUE TO HUGE NOISE, AND FRONT RIGHT SUSPENSION IS LEAKING AND NOT TAKING SHOCKS.

VERY EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY CAUSE ALL WINDOWS TO FULLY OPEN IN LOCKED CAR WHEN KEYFOB IS IN POCKET. THIS HAS CAUSED CAR INTERIOR TO BECOME SOAKED INCLUDING CONTENTS AND GIVES FULL ACCESS TO ALL CONTENTS AND TRUNK. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN A CITY ENVIRONMENT AS SOMEONE COULD ENTER CAR AND HIDE IN BACK AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND LOCKED.

I PURCHASED THIS HONDA ACCORD AS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE FROM A HONDA DEALER ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE VEHICLE VERY MUCH, CONSEQUENTLY THE PROBLEM DIDN'T BECOME VERY APPARENT UNTIL YESTERDAY. THE LUMBAR SUPPORT CAUSES SEVERE BACK PAIN. I TRIED ADJUSTING THE LUMBAR BUT EVEN AT THE LOWEST AVAILABLE SETTING THE THING SIMPLY RAMS INTO YOUR LOWER BACK. THIS PROBLEM ISN'T NOTICEABLE DURING A TEST DRIVE OF 5-10 MINUTES. IT BECOMES VERY APPARENT AFTER ABOUT 30-40 MINUTES. I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE VEHICLE FOR 18 HOURS AND STILL HAVE DISCOMFORT IN THE AREA WHERE THE LUMBAR SUPPORT CONTACTS MY BACK. THIS MAY CAUSE PERMANENT INJURY! HOPEFULLY, HONDA WILL RECTIFY THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM FOR THE NUMEROUS UNFORTUNATE PURCHASERS OF THIS EXPENSIVE VEHICLE!

THE 2012 HONDA ACCORD LX HAS 24000 MILES ON IT. AND THE RIGHT FRONT PADS COMPLETELY WORE OUT. ALL OTHERS PADS ON CAR WAS OK. I REPLACED FRONT ROTORS AND PADS ON FRONT. MAKES A NOISE NOW WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. ROTORS AND PADS NORMALLY LAST 60000 MILES. WHAT IS UP WITH THE 2012 ACCORD. ANY RECALLS ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM?

DRIVERS SEAT FELT LIKE METAL WAS PUSHING THROUGH IT, CAUSING DISCOMFORT WHEN I SAT; WORSE WHEN GETTING IN/OUT OF THE CAR. I DID NOT OWN CAR 3 YEARS BUT MILEAGE PAST WARRANTY. HONDA SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE SEAT AS A "GOODWILL GESTURE". REPIAIR DONE BY HONDA DEALER, MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. I CALLED IMMEDIATELY. ALTHOUGH THE ESTIMATE I RECEIVED TO FIX THE SEAT INCLUDED REPLACING THE ENTIRE CUSHION AND COVER, WHEN THE DEALER DID IT THEY SAID THEY HAD ONLY REPLACED THE COVER. I HAD TO BRING IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE CUSHION; PROBLEM WAS WORSE. SOMETHING PRESSES UP THROUGH THE SEAT AND SOMETHING IS DIGGING INTO MY BACK. I BROUGHT IT BACK, DEALER SAID THEY DON'T FEEL THE PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA, THEY SAID BRING IT BACK WHEN REGIONAL MANAGER WAS THERE. BROUGHT BACK SO REGIONAL MANAGER COULD LOOK AT IT, HE SAID HE DOESN'T FEEL THE PROBLEM. THEY ALL TELL ME THAT THAT IS HOW THE SEATS ARE MADE. THE SEAT FEELS LIKE THERE IS METAL PRESSING UP INTO ME AND WHEN I TURN TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE CAR IT IS WORSE. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE BACK PART OF THE SEAT BECAUSE IT DIGS INTO MY BACK. I AM NOT A NEW HONDA OWNER AND THESE ARE NOT TYPICAL. TO GET RELIEF WHILE TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED, I GOT A KITCHEN CHAIR CUSHION AND FOLDED IT SO 1/2 IS ON THE BACK AND 1/2 IS ON THE SEAT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING TO USE THE CUSHION I NOTICED THAT AN ONGOING PAIN I WAS HAVING IN MY HIP AND LEGS DISAPPEARED AND WHEN I DROVE LONG DISTANCE MY LEGS DID NOT ACHE. IT IS EASY TO ASSUME ACHES AND PAINS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH GETTING OLD, HOWEVER AFTER I STARTED USING THE CUSHION THE ACHES AND PAINS STOPPED ACHING. BY COINCIDENCE, I GAVE MY FATHER MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD WHEN I GOT THIS ONE. HE IS AN ACTIVE SENIOR AND HE HAD STARTED COMPLAINING OF HIP PAIN. A RECENT MRI SHOWED A CYST IN HIS HIP. I WONDER IF THIS IS RELATED TO HONDA SEATS TOO? PEOPLE MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT SEAT IS CAUSING THEIR PAIN.

I PULLED UP TO PARK AT A BIKE TRAILHEAD AND AS I TOUCHED THE BRAKE THE ACCELERATOR WENT TO THE FLOOR, LURCHING THE CAR FORWARD AND FORCING THE LEFT FRONT TIRE OVER THE RAILROAD TIE PARKING MARKER. THE CAR HIGH CENTERED AND I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE ENGINE KEPT RACING. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR IN PARK WITH ENGINE STILL RACING AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AGAIN, IT RESPONDED NORMALLY. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES IN THE CAR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM.

AIRBAG LIGHT POPPED ON AFTER DRIVING IN A SMALL WATER POCKET.. LIGHT REMAIN ON.

I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND BRAKING FOR A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES AS IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAD THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES, THIS ACCELERATION ATTEMPT WHEN I WAS BRAKING, DID NOT HAPPEN FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE. I DID NOT NOTICE THE ENGINE REVVING OR SEE THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATED. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET WHERE THE POSTED PEED LIMIT IS 25 MPH AND I WAS DRIVING WITHING THE SPEED LIMIT.

ON 8/03/2015 I WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER SUV THAT FAILED TO STOP WHILE I WAS WAITING BEHIND A RED LIGHT. THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO FORCE MY CAR TO HIT THE OTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND CONSEQUENTLY I WAS TAKEN BUT THE AMBULANCE TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. I AM WRITING YOU THIS BECAUSE AFTER MY RELEASE FROM THE HOSPITAL I NOTICED DUE TO THE HIGH SPEED IMPACT THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN MY CAR HAD BEEN TURNED ON YET THE AIR BAG ITSELF NEVER DEPLOYED. THEREFORE I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT AND INQUIRY ABOUT THE HONDA AUTO COMPANY. I BELIEVE I MIGHT HAVE SKIPPED VERY SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURIES PERHAPS BY LUCK YET THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAG OF MY HONDA NEVER DEPLOYED IS REY DISTURBING TO ME. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER.

2012 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING ACCIDENT. *SMD ..UPDATED 10/27/15*BF

ALL FOUR OF MY DOOR LOCKING ACTUATORS HAVE ALL "FAILED." THE CAR RANDOMLY LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ON THE HIGHWAY AND EVEN THOUGH HONDA HAS HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OVER THESE DOOR ACTUATORS FOR THE CRV THEY ARE NOT REPLACING THE HONDA ACCORD ONES (THEY WILL FOR A SMALL FEE OF $1500.00).

MOTHER-IN-LAW NEEDED TO REPLACE A 1996 HONDA. SHE TEST DROVE A 2012 HONDA ACCORD LX. NOTICED A SHIMMY IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I ALSO DROVE IT BUT DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY NOTICE IT. SHE PURCHASED IT, EVEN WITH THE "SHIMMY". I LATER NOTICED IT WHEN DRIVING ALONE. IT'S BARELY NOTICEABLE AND THERE IS NO ACCOMPANYING NOISE. A GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWED SOME HONDAS OF THE TIME HAVE WARPED ROTORS THAT MAY CAUSE SHIMMIES AND, LATER, TIE-ROD DAMAGE, WHICH HAPPENED TO HER '96 ONE. FOR NOW, I'VE NOT MENTIONED IT, JUST TO SEE HOW SHE LIKES THE '12 OTHERWISE. THE CAR WAS PERFECT IN OTHER RESPECTS, AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

I HAVE HONDA ACCORD 2012. AT MILEAGE 15K DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME I NEED TO REPLACE REAR TIRE BREAK PAD. HONDA DIDN'T ACCEPT ANY DEFECT PART OR BREAK SYSTEM. I REPLACED PADS BY MY OWN MONEY. NOW AT MILEAGE 44K I AM INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT MY FRONT AND REAR TIRE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT IS CLEAR TO ME SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH BREAK SYSTEM AND COULD CAUSE SAFETY ISSUE IN FUTURE. PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH CAR MANUFACTURER TO FIX THE BREAK SYSTEM. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).? *JB
