2009 Honda Accord complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS TWO MONTHS OVER NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE COLLAPSED BECAUSE AN OIL CHANGE HAD BEEN NEEDED; THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT CONSENT TO AN APPEAL OR SEND THEIR ENGINEER TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 04/29/11

AT ABOUT 20,000, OUR 2009 HONDA ACCORD (V6) STARTED HAVING REAR BRAKE NOISES. WE TOOK IT TO THE WEST COVINA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE REAR PADS WERE WORN AND NEEDED REPLACING. I SAID THAT IS VERY PREMATURE TO HAVE REAR PADS WEAR OUT SO SOON AND THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL AND WOULD NOT CONSIDER ANY WARRANTY REPLACEMENT OR DISCOUNT AS IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL INDEPENDENT SHOP AND HAD THEM REPLACED. STRANGE THAT IT WAS BOTH INNER PADS THAT HAD WORN OUT--THE OUTERS HAD ABOUT 50% LIFE LEFT.*TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABNORMALLY DOWN TWO QUARTS OF ENGINE OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE OIL WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT SINCE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING OIL AT EXCESSIVELY ABNORMAL RATES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

I AM LEASING A 2009 HONDA ACCORD EX COUPE. I WAS INFORMED AT LESS THAN 15,000 MILES THAT I WAS IN NEED OF NEW REAR BRAKE PADS. WHILE I FULLY EXPECTED TO PAY FOR GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND REASONABLE "WEAR ITEMS" DURING MY LEASE. THERE IS NO REASON THAT I SHOULD NEED TO REPLACE MY BRAKE PADS AT 15,000 MILES. IN SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE CENTER AT MY HONDA DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR 2008 AND 2009 ACCORDS TO EXPERIENCE PREMATURE REAR BRAKE WEAR BUT THAT HONDA NOR THE DEALERSHIP WOULD PAY FOR THE SERVICE. I WAS THEN INFORMED OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT COULD REIMBURSE $150 OF THE $239 IT WOULD COST TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS. WHILE THIS DOES HELP WITH THE FINANCIAL BURDEN, IT DOES NOT COVER THE ENTIRE EXPENSE. NOR DOES IT EXCUSE HONDA'S UNWILLINGNESS TO FIX THIS QUALITY/SAFETY ISSUE AND SPARE THEIR CUSTOMERS THE HASSLE OF THE UP-FRONT EXPENSE AND ADDITIONAL PAPERWORK REQUIRED TO TAKE PART IN THE SUIT. I EVEN CONTACTED HONDA U.S. DIRECTLY REGARDING THE ISSUE AND THEY DIRECTED ME BACK TO THE CLASS ACTION HOTLINE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. ALTHOUGH HONDA DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY PRODUCT, THEY HAVE RELEASED AN "IMPROVED" BRAKE PAD WHICH, SUPPOSEDLY, HAS A LONGER LIFESPAN. CLEARLY, HOWEVER, THERE IS A DEFECT WITH BRAKES THAT WEAR DOWN SO QUICKLY WITH NORMAL USE. ONE OF THE REASONS I CHOSE A HONDA PRODUCT WAS DUE TO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SUPERIOR QUALITY AND SAFETY RATING. IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT SITUATION, I WILL LIKELY NO

WE OWN A 2009 ACCORD WITH 24,000 MILES. AT OUR FIRST OIL CHANGE, MY HUSBAND ASKED THE HONDA ANNAPOLIS DEALER ABOUT A CARD WE HAD RECEIVED REGARDING A BRAKE PAD CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT. THE DEALER SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT; IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT FOR FREE. OUR BRAKES ARE NOW MAKING A LOT OF NOISE AND THE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY HUSBAND STOPPED IN AND TALKED TO THE SAME PERSON IN THE DEALERSHIP, [XXX], WHO SAID THE REPAIR WOULD COST $230, AND WE WOULD BE REIMBURSED THROUGH THE CLASS-ACTION. HE DID NOT MENTION THAT THE REIMBURSEMENT IS $150 AT BEST. SO THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN MISINFORMATION BY THIS HONDA DEALERSHIP. I CALLED HONDA ANNAPOLIS AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], WHOSE ATTITUDE IS BEST SUMMED UP BY HIS STATEMENT, "I DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED." HE SAID THAT THE CUSTOMERS AND LAWYERS CAUSED THIS PROBLEM BY BRINGING A LAWSUIT. HE ALSO STATED, "WE DON'T MAKE THE CARS HERE," AND SUGGESTED THAT WE TAKE THE CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE. ALTHOUGH MY HUSBAND HAD JUST SPOKEN TO [XXX] IN PERSON, WHO THEN SPOKE TO [XXX], HE ACTED AS THOUGH HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I SEE THAT MANY CONSUMERS ARE COMPLAINING THAT THE REPLACEMENT PADS ALSO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY AND CAUSE OTHER DAMAGE. WHAT A DISGRACE. I CONTACTED THE CLASS-ACTION LAW FIRMS AND GOT A CALL FROM SOMEONE AT GIBBS. SHE SAID IT HAS TO BE AN UPGRADED REPLACEMENT PART IN ORDER TO BE REIMBURSED; THE PART COSTS $66 AND WITH LABOR THE CHARGE

2009 HONDA ACCORD 4 CYLINDER, 22K MILES-ORIGINAL OWNER ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK AND CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ON THE ON RAMP TO I-64 IN LOUISVILLE, KY. TRIED TO DOWNSHIFT, EVEN TRIED NEUTRAL. ENGAGED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. EVENTUALLY THE BRAKES RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A MEDIAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. VERY THANK I DIDN'T HURT ANYONE. TOOK CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. NOTHING REGISTERED ON THE CAR COMPUTER. I AM 100% CERTAIN THAT THE PEDAL WAS NOT CAUGHT ON THE FLOOR MAT. ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE. I WILL BE BUYING A NEW CAR IMMEDIATELY. *TR

HAD TO REPAIR REAR BRAKE PADS AT ONLY 26K MILES!

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHEN SHE WAS INFORMED THAT SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT AND THAT SHE COULD FILL OUT THE FORM IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS AND DID NOT OFFER HER ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 16,000. BW UPDATED 02/17/11*LJ UPDATED 12/06/2011 *LN

UNDER NORMAL USE, REAR BRAKE PADS FAIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. MY ORIGINAL PADS WERE COMPLETELY GONE AT 15,000 MILES. NOW THE SECOND SET OF PADS IS WORN OUT AT 30,000 MILES. FRONT PADS SEEM TO BE BARELY WORN, AND ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. *TR

I'VE HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHICH CAN BE CONSIDERED CLOSE CALLS WITH HONDA ACCORDS IN RECENT MONTHS. BESIDES BEING BLINDED BY THE HIGH BEAM DRLS (BOTH FROM THE FRONT AND THE REAR), I HAVE HAD TROUBLE SEEING USAGE OF THE HONDA'S TURN SIGNALS. THIS IS DUE TO THE HIGH LIGHT DENSITY OF THE DRL NEXT TO THE SMALL TURN SIGNALS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT THESE DRL BE ELIMINATED. THANK YOU. *TR

I WANT TO ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST OF PEOPLE WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKES ON THEIR 2009 ACCORDS. MY BRAKES STARTED SQUEAKING LIKE MAD AT ABOUT 17000 MILES. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME THAT HONDA WOULD NOT ISSUE A RECALL, KNOWING THAT THEIR REAR BRAKE PADS ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FACT BY MAKING A REPLACEMENT PAD DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL PAD. TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IN SIMPLY UNTHINKABLE ON HONDA'S PART. *TR

THE DEALER DID NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THE BRAKES NOR DID SHE ASK THEM FOR ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THEM. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO SERVICE THE REGULATOR AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT SHE REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE PADS. THE DEALER ADVISED HER THAT SHE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR COST. SHE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,160.

THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED DUE TO THE AIR TEMPERATURE CHANGING.

I OWN A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. AT AROUND 25000 MILES I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE REAR WHEELS. THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR TOLD ME MY BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I STATED THERE MUST BE SOME DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE OR BRAKES BECAUSE THE BRAKES SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACING THAT SOON AND THE REAR BRAKES SHOULD NEVER NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKES. THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND CHARGED ME THE FULL PRICE OF MORE THAN $250 FOR REPLACEMENT. THEY ADMITTED THE NEW BRAKE PADS WERE "A LONGER LASTING MATERIAL". I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE WELL-DOCUMENTED DEFICIENCY IN 2008-2009 ACCORD BRAKES AT THE TIME AND THE DEALER DID NOT MENTION THE ISSUE NOR OFFER ANY DISCOUNTS. *TR

2009 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WITH A/C PROBLEM. A/C BLOWS DANGEROUSLY HOT AIR WHILE AT A STOP. THE AIR CONTINUES TO BLOW HOT AIR UNTIL YOU START DRIVING AGAIN. THE TEMPERATURES QUICKLY RISES TO UNKNOWN TEMPERATURE BUT IT FEELS LIKE WE ARE IN A SWEAT BOX. MAY POSE THREAT TO HEALTH DUE TO EXTENDED PERIODS OF EXTREME HEAT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER SIX TIMES NOW SINCE MAY 2010. MANY HOSES HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE LEAKS, CONDENSOR REPORTED TO BE BAD, COMPRESSOR REPORTED BAD, CLUTCH REPORTED BAD, LOW FREON REPORTED, PIPES REPORTED TO BE BAD AND SEALS ON PIPES AND HOSES REPORTED LEAKING. IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THE DEALER AND HONDA MANUFACTURE HAS NOT FOUND A SOLUTION. BOTH PARTIES ARE IN COMMUNICATION WITH ONE ANOTHER WITH NO RESULTS THUS FAR. THE DEALER HAS NOW HAD THE VEHICLE FOR TWO WORKING WEEKS AS OF 10-22-2010 WITH NO EXPLANATION TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE DEALER HAS REPLICATED THE A/C BLOWING HOT AIR NUMEROUS TIMES. OVERALL, SINCE MAY 2010, THE DEALER HAS HAD POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE FOR APPROX. 30 DAYS DURING THE SIX DEALER VISITS AND REPAIRS. ONLINE RESEARCH MAY SHOW EXTENSIVE A/C PROBLEMS WITH MANY OF THE HONDA MODELS. FURTHER EVALUATION IS REQUESTED AS HOT BLOWING A/C AIR POSE A HEALTH THREAT ESPECIALLY IN A WARM CLIMATE SUCH AS FLORIDA'S SUMMER. *TR

I OWN A 2009 EX HONDA ACCORD. TOOK CAR TO GET NORMAL MAINTENANCE AT 14,000 MILES TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BACK BRAKES WERE ALMOST WORN DOWN TO NEEDING REPLACED. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A NORMAL MAINTENANCE AT 21000 MILES AND SAID MY BACK BRAKES NEEDED REPLACED. NOW I AM STUCK PAYING $250 FOR BACK BRAKES ON A YEAR AND AHALF OLD ACCORD. EVEN THOUGH HONDA WILL GIVE ME UP TO $150 BACK. I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE AND PAY FOR THE FULL PRICE. ALSO THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IF THERE BRAKES ARE BAD!!! VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA AND MAY NOT BUY HONDA VEHICLES ANYMORE!!! *TR

2009 HONDA ACCORD DRIVER'S POWER SEAT "JUMPS" WHEN MOVED FORWARD AND REVERSE (MOST NOTABLE ON AN INCLINE). I HAD THE DEALER CHECK IT AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS 'NORMAL' DUE TO THE MECHANISM DESIGN. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, I HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO AVOID A COLLISION AND THE SEAT JERKED FORWARD NOTICEABLY AS IT SLIPPED IN THE TRACK MECHANISM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD BLINK INTERMITTENTLY AT NIGHT. *TR

MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD EX WITH ONLY 32K MILES ON IT STARTED TO CONSUME OIL VERY QUICKLY. WHILE THE % OIL LIFE REMAINING INDICATOR SAID I HAVE 30% LIFE REMAINING, THE DIPSTICK DID NOT REGISTER ANY OIL ON IT. I'M GLAD THAT I CHECKED, BECAUSE I SHUDDER AT THE POSSIBILITY OF A CAR CRASH DUE TO THE ENGINE DYING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HANDED MY A PRINTED OUT SHEET THAT STATED THAT A LOSS OF 1 QT PER 1000MILES IS CONSIDERED NORMAL. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT THAT HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT TO. *TR

I HAVE SPENT LOTS OF MONEY IN X-RAYS, MRI, CT-SCAN OF MY LOW BACK AND HIP AND AM TAKING OVER 12 MEDICINES A DAY. STILL THE PAIN IS VERY BAD WHEN I AM IN THE CAR. I THINK THIS IS A WAY HONDA IS MAKING MORE MONEY AS I WILL BE FORCE TO SELL IT AT WAY LESS AND TAKE A LOSS ON IT AND THEN BUY A NEW CAR. I AM NOW AFRAID TO BUY HONDA AGAIN. *TR

THE MECHANICS OF THIS CAR ARE GREAT, THE PROBLEM IS THE SEAT AND HOW TERRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE IT IS AND THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF BACK PAIN IT IS CAUSING.

I HAVE A 2009 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6 WHICH I BOUGHT NEW IN AUGUST OF 2008. I NOTICED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THAT A METALLIC SCRAPING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE BRAKES THAT WENT AWAY WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER WHO SAID THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE WORN AND THAT THEY HAD BEEN GRINDING INTO THE REAR ROTORS. THERE WERE 31,480 MILES ON THE CAR AS I DRIVE MOSTLY HIGHWAY. THE COST FOR NEW REAR PADS, ROTORS, AND LABOR WAS $522. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ONLY PAYS OUT $150. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNFAIR AND THIS DEFECT SHOULD FORCE A RECALL WITH FULL REIMBURSEMENT BY HONDA. *TR
