2009 Honda Accord complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A WHINING NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE DEALER DAIGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,360.

POWER WINDOW REAR RT - WON'T CLOSE. THE MOTOR GETS VERY HOT. VERY UNSAFE, HAD MY MECHANIC DISCONNECT THE MOTOR. THE WINDOW STARTED OPENING ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION & WOULDN'T CLOSE. WHEN ENGINE IS ON, THE MOTOR IS ON ALL THE TIME AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE WHEN KEY IS ON POSITIIN.I JUST REALIZED THAT THIS HAD TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE MELTED MOLDING ONLY ON THAT ONE WINDOW. RARELY OPEN THIS WINDOW THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

I BOUGHT MY HONDA ACCORD 2009 ABOUT A YEAR BACK. I REALLY LOVE THE CARE. I AM RELIGIOUS ABOUT OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE AND RUN SYNTHETICS TO INSURE THE BEST ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND LIFE. MY PREVIOUS OWNER CONFIRMED THAT HE WAS ALSO ALWAYS DOING THE SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES. WHAT I NOTICED AFTER ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF BUYING MY CAR WAS THAT A FUNNY RATTLING AND GRINDING NOISE WAS COMING FROM MY CAR. I ALSO OCCASIONALLY SAW THE CHECK ENGINE OIL LIKE COME ON AND THEN IMMEDIATELY GO OFF MOSTLY AT STOPS. MY OIL CHANGE WAS DUE SOON, SO I THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF THAT. YES, SURE AFTER THE OIL CHANGE THAT RATTLING AND GRINDING SOUND WAS GONE. SO I FELT RELAXED NOT FOR LONG THOUGH AS AFTER ABOUT 45 DAYS GAIN THE RATTLING AND GRINDING NOISE STARTED COMING WITH THE CHECK ENGINE OIL SIGN ON AND OFF. I DID A FEW CHECKS AND WHEN I PULLED THE DIP STICK AFTER KEEPING THE CAR STATIONARY OVERNIGHT, I WAS SURPRISED THAT I HAD NO OIL ON IT AT ALL. I HAVE NOW ADDED SOME OIL TO BRING IT TO THE LEVEL BUT I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED. THEN I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM STILL PLANNING TO KEEP THIS CAR FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS OR SO, THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT A HONDA IN THE FIRST PLACE. I FIGURE RELIABLE AND TROUBLE FREE WITH EXCELLENT LONG LASTING ENGINES. AFTER GOING THROUGH SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND HONDA ACCORD OIL DEFECT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT I NEVER GOT THE LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE RECALL AND WARRANTY EXTENSION. I AM PL

RECENTLY, MY CAR STARTED CONSUME TOO MUCH OIL. TO FIX THAT,DEALERSHIP ADVISED TO REPLACE PISTON RINGS FOR BETTER RESULT. AFTER WE HAVE NEW PISTON RINGS, IN A MONTH AND SO ENGINE IS MAKING GRINDING NOISE WHILE STARTING. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WASN'T HAPPENED DUE TO PISTON RINGS REPLACEMENT. BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM BEFORE AND NOW DEALERSHIP CAN CHARGE US UP TO $700 FOR NEW PART .

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER PULLING INTO A SHOPPING AREA PARKING LOT, WITH THE CAR STATIONARY AND THE ENGINE OFF, THE DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO OPEN TRAPPING US IN THE CAR IN THE SUNLIGHT OF A 90 DEGREE DAY, PRESSING THE KEY UNLOCK ACTUATOR TO UNLOCK THE DOORS BY USING THE KEY UNLOCK BUTTON FAILS TO UNLOCK THE DOORS THEREBY PREVENTING THE OCCUPANTS FROM GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND HAS SUBJECTED MY WIFE AND I TO BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR IN RAPIDLY RISING HEAT FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES UNTIL AFTER REPEATEDLY PRESSING THE KEY UNLOCK BUTTON THE DOORS UNLOCK. THE CAR IS NOT CAPABLE OF STARTING DURING THIS TIME. THIS FRIGHTENING CIRCUMSTANCE HAS NOW HAPPENED A FEW TIMES - NOT COMFORTABLE FOR TWO PEOPLE IN THEIR SEVENTIES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THIS IS A 2009 VEHICLE AND I WAS NOTIFIED AUGUST 2015 OF A OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL BUT ASK THAT YOU HAVE 125,000 MILES OR LESS TO FIX HOWEVER WHEN YOU NOTIFY A CONSUMER 7 YEARS AFTER IT HAS BEEN SOLD NOT TO HAVE THAT MANY MILES I BELIEVE IT'S VERY UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER BECAUSE THIS IS A PROBLEM I HAVE HAD THIS THIS VEHICLE SINCE IVE OWNED IT AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO FIX IT BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC AMOUNT NOTED ON HOW MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE AND HONDA DEALERSHIP IS USING THAT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE AND ASK THAT I HAVE 3/4 OF A QUART OF OIL CONSUMPTION BEFORE THEY WOULD EVEN CONSIDER WHICH IS SO UNREALISTIC.

MY CAR IS BURNING 1-2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IS NORMAL EVEN THOUGH THE OIL LIGHT IS COMING. MY CAR IS

VEHICLE IN MOTION TURNING RIGHT INTO PARKING SPACE. BRAKES APPLIED, VEHICLE ACCELERATED INTO BRICK POST CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO FRONT END OF VEHICLE AND POST. SECOND INCIDENT VEHICLE IN MOTION TURNING RIGHT INTO PARKING SPACE. BRAKES APPLIED, VEHICLE ACCELERATED INTO GRASSY STRIP. VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO BRING TO STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD EQUIPPED WITH FEDERAL SUPER STEEL 657 TIRES, SIZE 215/60/R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW UP AND CREATED A HOLE IN THE TIRE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000. UPDATED 05/18/16*LJ *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I ARRIVED BACK HOME, MY BOYFRIEND (THE DRIVER) PUT THE CAR IN PARK, GOT OUT OF MY CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, I CLOSED THE DOOR, AND BOOM! ALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY KIDS WERE IN THE BACK SEAT IMMEDIATELY FRIGHTENED. THEY DID NOT INFLATE, THEY ONLY DROPPED. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA, OPENED A CLAIM, BROUGHT MY CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER, AND OF COURSE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT. THEY ARE BLAMING THE DEPLOYMENT ON AN ACCIDENT THAT A PREVIOUS OWNER HAD GOT INTO MANY YEARS AGO. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, I TRIED CONTACTING AMERICAN HONDA AGAIN TO GET FURTHER EXPLANATION AND ANOTHER INSPECTION I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK.

FRIDAY, MARCH 25TH I ACCELERATED QUICKLY INTO A LEFT TURN FROM A DEAD STOP AT CHURCH STREET AND RT 20 IN NORTHBOROUGH, MA AND THE ACCELERATOR STUCK IN THE FULL THROTTLE POSITION. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE THROTTLE AND APPLIED BREAKS HEAVILY BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV, I REACHED DOWN TO TURN THE KEY AND KILL THE ENGINE BUT BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO DO THAT THERE WAS A LARGE CLUNKING NOISE AND THE THROTTLE RELEASED TO IDLE. A SIMILAR ISSUE HAPPENED TODAY AS I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY (190 SOUTH) AT THE 140 SOUTH INTERSECTION. THE HIGHWAY ENTRANCE AND BOTH LANES WERE EMPTY SO I STOMPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE IF FRIDAY'S ISSUE WAS A FLUKE - THE THROTTLE STUCK AGAIN. I TAPPED THE BREAKS BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO WATCH THE TACHOMETER REV UP TO 5,000 RPMS AND IT RELEASED ON ITS OWN. IN BOTH SITUATIONS THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON WAS ON BUT NOT ENGAGED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED ABOVE 100 MPH FOR TWO MILES OR LONGER. THE CONTACT APPLIED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE SHOOK AGGRESSIVELY AND CONTINUED TO INCREASE IN SPEED. THE CONTACT WAS ALONE ON THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BUT DID NOT SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CHANGE GEARS TO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE AND WAS ABLE TO GRADUALLY DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, A CITY STREET TRAVELING 30 MPH, AND MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THEY HAVE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED RECALLS ON 2008-2009 HONDA 4-DOOR ACCORDS FOR THE SENSITIVITY OF THE SIDE IMPACT SENSORS BEING TOO HIGH. THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE THAT'S EXCLUSIVE TO THEIR 4-DOOR SEDANS, AND ALSO RELATES TO THEIR 2 DOOR COUPE. AS A RESULT OF MY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GIVE ME ANY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT WOULDN'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. I ALSO HAD MY INSURANCE COMPANY INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND AFTER THEIR THOROUGH EXAMINATION THEY DEEMED IT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. AS A RESULT OF THE INCIDENT I WOUND UP HAVING TO PAY $2600 FOR MY AIRBAGS TO BE REPLACED. OVERALL A VERY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS A LOYAL HONDA OWNER WHO WOUND UP ACCEPTING FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND OIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE MECHANIC WAS UNAWARE OF WHAT CAUSED THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,243.

TAKATA RECALL. I OWN A 2009 HONDA ACCORD 2-DR AND THE RECALL IS APPLIED TO THE 4-DR ONLY. HOWEVER, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE MY CAR'S ISSUE BETTER THAN THE RECALL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (I-35) WITH APPROX. 65 MPH, GOING STRAIGHT NOT TURNING IN ANY WAY. I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP NOISE AND MY PASSENGER'S SEAT AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. HONESTLY, IT'S VERY HARD TO TELL IF I RAN OVER A POTHOLE OR IF I HIT A ROCK BECAUSE THE LOUD NOISE AND MY SHOCK DOMINATED THE MOMENT. THANKFULLY, I WAS COMMUTING ALONE THAT DAY AND NOBODY GOT HURT. I STOPPED THE CAR TO INSPECT IT AND I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I FILLED A CLAIM WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST HONDA CENTER FOR A DIAGNOSIS ($120). HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REQUESTED THAT ONE OF THEIR FIELD ENGINEERS INSPECTED THE CAR. AFTER HIS INSPECTION, HE DETERMINED THAT AN IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WHEN I REQUESTED TO SEE THE IMPACT SIGNS, THEY POINTED A SCRATCH ON THE FRAME RAIL. THEY SAID THAT THE SCRATCH SEEMS MINOR ONLY BECAUSE IT HAPPENED ON THE TOUGHEST PART OF THE CAR, THE FRAME RAIL. THAT SCRATCH IS ALMOST UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SENSOR. I ASKED FOR MORE INFORMATION, SUCH AS THE THRESHOLD WHEN AN AIRBAG DEPLOYS, HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT THIS SCRATCH WAS NOT THERE BEFORE, ETC. THEY DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTIONS, INSTEAD THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SCRATCH WAS "FRESH". I'M ATTACHING THE PICTURES OF THE SCRATCH ON THE FRAME RAIL. IT'S NOT VERY OBVIOUS BUT LOOK AT THE SILVER SCRAPE. I DECIDED T

FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT, BACKREST UPPER RIGHT CORNER FIRST ONE HOLE APPEARED NOW THERE ARE THREE, BEHIND THESE HOLE IS A METAL BRACKET THAT IS COMING THROUGH THE SEAT, IN AN ACCIDENT THIS BRACKET WOULD STRIKE JUST ABOVE THE BASE OF MY SKULL. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT...

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2012. FROM 2013-PRESENT, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS AT LEAST 10 TIMES AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD MY CALIPERS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES THAT MANY TIMES. IN THE LAST YEAR ALONE, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS 3 TIMES. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO REPLACE MY REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WHEN I LAST DID IT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING THIS PROBLEM, HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE! ALSO IN JULY 2015, MY AC/HEATER STOPPED WORKING, WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUSE, SO WE REPLACED IT BUT ITS STILL NOT WORKING. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND UPSET WITH THE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA! I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY CAR THAT I'VE OWNED.

THERE IS A LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE (WHICH LASTS FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS) WHEN I START THE CAR. THE NOISE WORSENS IN LOUDNESS AND DURATION IN THE COLD WEATHER.

2009 HONDA ACCORD VTC ACUATOR GRINDING ON COLD START. POTENTIAL TO CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE. NO REMEDY FROM HONDA.

I WAS THE DRIVER, ENCLOSED IS THE PASSENGER EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT.SUDDEN UNCOMMANDED ACCELERATION INCIDENT VIN 1HGCS 12869A011349 NOV. 5, 2015 US RT 12 JUST NORTH OF ILLINOIS / WISCONSIN BORDER. NORTHBOUND LANES ENROUTE TO LAKE GENEVA. NOVEMBER 5 20115 9:15 A.M. WEATHER CLEAR AND DRY. CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT ON OR ENGAGED. NORMAL DRIVING UNTIL WE MAKE A LANE CHANGE AND DRIVER SAYS, 'THE CAR IS TAKING OFF ON ME.' I LOOK OVER AT THE STEERING WHEEL ASSUMING SHE MEANS WE ARE SLIDING. SHE THEN TELLS ME SHE CAN'T STOP THE CAR. AT THIS POINT I REALIZE WE ARE ACCELERATING (ESTIMATING SPEED 80 MPH). I LOOK AT THE FLOOR TO SEE WHERE DENISE'S FEET ARE PLACED. BOTH FEET ARE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SHE IS NEARLY OUT OF HER SEAT FROM PRESSING HARD. BOTH OF HER HANDS ARE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE DIRECTS ME TO PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. I COMPLY BUT DO NOT SENSE ANY AFFECT. DRIVER TELLS ME THERE WAS NO CHANGE AND WE ARE NOT DECELERATING. IN FACT THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE. I DIRECT HER TO AIM THE CAR FOR THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND I WOULD TURN THE IGNITION OFF. WE SUCCESSFULLY EXIT THE ROADWAY AND COME TO A STOP. THE BRAKES ARE SEVERELY OVERHEATED AND THE ENGINE IS EMITTING STRONG ODOR OF HOT METAL. WE SIT FOR TWO MINUTES OR MORE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I TRY AN ENGINE START AND ENGINE IMMEDIATELY GOES TO RED LINE RPM. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN ENGINE.

WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND HIT ANOTHER CAR, MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. POLICE, EMS, AND FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND INSURANCE COMPANY ALL ADVISED ME THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED ON IMPACT. INSTEAD MY CHEST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING LOSS OF BREATH AND BRUISING. I WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET. ..UPDATED 11/13/15 *BF *JS

MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN CAR IS COLD STARTED. IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL ON METAL. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL CALL WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE STATE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM.

KEY FOBS ONLY WORK SOMETIMES ON PARKED CAR WHETHER LOCKING OR UNLOCKING. HAVE 2 SETS OF KEYS AND BOTH HAVE STOPPED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. REPLACED THE BATTERIES EACH TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP. CANNOT UNLOCK CAR DOORS OR TRUNK OR LOCK OR SET ALARM THEN LATER THAT DAY IT WORKS. I SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE SO IT'S NOT THE KEY FOB BATTERY. WHEN INQUIRED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP - THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS. HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE PURCHASED NEW. CURRENTLY HAPPENING AGAIN.

ON 9/7/2015, I SHUT MY PASSENGER DOOR TO MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD AND THE SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. I HAVE BEEN BATTLING HONDA NORTH AMERICA AND HAVE HAD TWO INDEPENDENT INSURANCE ADJUSTERS VERIFY THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT DEPLOYED DUE TO ANY TYPE OF COLLISION. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER CLOSING THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

WHENEVER I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION, IT MAKES A NOISE. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY ARE NOW REPLACING THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN AND ASKING ME TO PAY SOME $800. I SEE THAT THIS IS A REGULAR HONDA ACCORD PROBLEM, NOT SURE WHY I HAVE TO BEAR THE COST.

MY HONDA ACCORD 2009 NEEDED TO HAVE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT CONTROL ARMS REPLACED AT THE COST OF $500. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON AMONG HONDA ACCORD, CIVICS AND CVR, AND MY INTERNET SEARCH ALSO REVEALED THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM. SHOULDN'T A DEFECT LIKE THIS RESULT IN A RECALL?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,929.

WHILE ENDEAVORING TO MAKE A SLOW SPEED MANEUVER, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT RESPONSIVE BY POWER ASSISTANCE. IT EVENTUALLY CAME BACK TO NORMAL. CONCERNED I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC WHO SUGGESTED REPLACING THE POWER STEERING PUMP. REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP WITH A HONDA REMANUFACTURED AND FLUSHED SYSTEM WITH GENUINE HONDA POWER STEERING FLUID. NEVER WAS ANYTHING FOUND IN THE FLUID THAT WOULD CONTAMINATE THE FLUID OR CAUSE SYSTEM BLOCKAGE. PROBLEM SEEMED CORRECTED FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IT RESUMED AGAIN. WENT BACK TO MY HONDA DEALER. AT THE HONDA DEALER IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY RACK AND PINION SETUP. THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR! I HAVE HAD 15 HONDAS AND NEVER HAD TO HAVE THIS DONE. THE PROBLEM IS PROGRESSIVELY BECOMING MORE PRONOUNCED. IT COMES AT VARIED TIMES DURING THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE.

CAR STARTED HAVING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AROUND 100,000 MILES. RECEIVED FIRST NOTICE TODAY FROM AMERICAN HONDA ABOUT STICKING PISTON RINGS CAUSING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. WARRANTY LIMITATIONS ARE 125,000 MILES OR 8 YEARS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. MY CAR IS AT 127,000 MILES. AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THIS CAR IS INELEGIBLE FOR WARRANTY REPAIR BECAUSE IT EXCEEDS THEIR MILEAGE CUTOFF.

LOUD RATTLING NOISE UPON COLD START. HONDA SAYS NO FIX AVAILABLE. SOUNDS LIKE METAL ON METAL AND HONDA CAN NOT FIX THIS?

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY HONDA ACCORD, AND USE MY CAR PRIMARILY FOR PLEASURE DRIVING ON WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS. RECENTLY, I TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND SAFETY CHECK, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR DISC BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY WORN AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT, WHEREAS THE FRONT DISC BRAKE LININGS WERE FINE. THIS INFORMATION CAME AS A SURPRISE BECAUSE REAR ARE GENERALLY LAST MORE THAN 70,000- 1000,000 MILES, AND CERTAINLY LONGER THE THAN THE FRONT PADS. THE SERVICE STATION ATTENDANT TOLD ME THAT PREMATURE WEAR ON REAR BRAKE PADS IS A WELL- APPRECIATED DEFECT FOR THE 2009 ACCORD, AND HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS EVEN SETTLED A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN 2010 RELATING SPECIFICALLY TO THIS MATTER. FOR REFERENCE, A LINK TO A NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE IS: HTTP://WHEELS.BLOGS.NYTIMES.COM/2010/04/06/HONDA-SETTLES-CLASS-ACTION-SUIT-OVER-BRAKES/?_R=0 SOUND BRAKES ARE NECESSARY FOR VEHICLE SAFETY. I REQUEST THAT THE NTSB DEMAND HONDA ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THE BRAKE DEFECT FOR ACCORD OWNERS WHO WERE UNABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CLASS SETTLEMENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND CONSIDERATION OF THIS REQUEST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR ADVANTAGE TA (NA) TIRES, SIZE: 225/50/R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AND AN ABNORMAL SMELL EMITTED AS THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE TREADS SEPARATED AROUND THE ENTIRE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A SPARE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,810 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

WHEN I WAS REAR ENDED AT A RED LIGHT THE DRIVERS SEAT FELL BACK WARDS AND NOW THE SEAT IS NOT STABLE. IT CONCERNS ME THAT THE SEAT WENT BACK ON ITS OWN UPON IMPACT.

FROM THE BEGINNING UPON TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE, THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS WERE NOT RELEASING PROPERLY. WE NOTICED A BURNING SMELL ONCE AFTER DRIVING, BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. WE ALSO NOTICED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ALWAYS RELEASING, AS PER THE WARNING LIGHT. AT A ROUTINE OIL SERVICE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS NOT FULL DISENGAGING. THE ENTIRE REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE CLEANED AND ADJUSTED, THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. BOTH REAR CALIPERS HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN THE PAST, OUR VEHICLES HAVE GONE 90,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACING ONLY THE PADS, AND THEN ONLY THE FRONT. TO REPLACE AN ENTIRE REAR BAKE ASSEMBLY INDICATES SOME SORT OF DEFECT OR ENGINEERING PROBLEM.

2009 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AT 130K...MOST ORIGINATING AT 70-90K. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION (1 QT A WEEK)! ROUGH IDLE AND ACCELERATION, 6 LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASH, INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE...COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY.....FOULED SPARK PLUGS, TICKING NOISE COMING FROM STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING, BRAKES MUST BE REPLACED EVERY 10K MILES, LOUD TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE, POOR ACCELERATION WITH MISSING/SPUTTERING, SMOKE EMITS FROM TAILPIPES, VSC LIGHT STAYS ON ALONG WITH TPMS! THE LIST GOES ON AND ON...I HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO HONDA SINCE 1993 HAVING OWNED MANY, ESPECIALLY ACCORDS AND THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE....THE WORST VEHICLE EVER OWNED! DO NOT BUY HONDA...THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU AND NEVER WILL! I MISSED THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BY A COUPLE OF MONTHS ON THE ENGINE MISFIRE DEAL...JUST RECENTLY WAS MADE AWARE OF IT. NEVER AGAIN HONDA!!!!

SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT, DRIVER'S AIRBAG LIGHT AND PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND IT'S NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE WHITE PAINT ON MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD IS FLAKING OFF IN BIG CHUNKS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BEIGE UNDER-LAYER. IT STARTED ON THE CHANNELS AROUND MY REAR WINDSHIELD. I THEN NOTICED SPOTS ON THE TRUNK, DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND ROOF. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! AFTER CONSULTING A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PAINT IS NOT ADHERING - MANUFACTURER ERROR!

CHAIN REACTION WHERE I WAS THE LAST VEHICLE IN A STOPPED LINE OF CARS I WAS REAR ENDED BY AN USB WHO WAS TRAVELING FAST AND NEVER ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE THE SUV STRUCK THE REAR OF MY ACCORD AND PUSHED ME INTO THE CAR IN FRONT MY CAR HAD CRUSHED REAR END AND CRUMPLED FRONT END WHILE THE SIDE AIR BEG WENT OFF THE FRONT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY....THIS IS MY CONCERN SINCE IT STRUCK THE FRONT OF THE NEXT VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGE. *TR

THE SUNROOF SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASONS, NO CARS NEARBY, SUNNY DAY. THERE WAS A POP, THEN THE SUNROOF GLASSES STARTED TO COME DOWN. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE (LEFT) COURTESY LIGHT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON WHEN THE DOOR(S) OPEN NOR WHEN THE REMOTE IS USED TO UNLOCK THE CAR. YES THE SWITCH IS SET TO DOOR MODE. YES THE LIGHT WORKS WHEN MANUALLY PUSHED. YES ALL OTHER LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE DOOR(S) OPEN. THE BULB IS FINE, THE FUSE IS FINE, AND THE DOOR-LIGHT SWITCH IS FINE. I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT PARTICULARLY REGARDING DRIVING, BUT FOR MY PHYSICAL SAFETY. I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED SO IF I NEED TO USE THIS LIGHT IN PARTICULAR, I CAN. *TR

SLID INTO A CURB. LOCKED UP THE SEAT BELT, DID NOT DEPLOY AIRBAGS. I THOUGHT IT WAS LIFETIME WARRANTY ON SEAT BELTS. HONDA CHARGED ME $469 TO REPLACE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT. SRS SYSTEM WOULD NOT RESET. NOW IT POINTS TO FRONT SENSORS. HONDA WANTS $859 TO REPLACE FRONT SENSORS AND SRS CONTROL UNIT. *TR

REAR TIRES OVERHEATED TO THE POINT THAT IT WOULD BURN A HAND THAT TOUCHED IT ON 6-11-2012 (MILEAGE 46,384). SMELLED OF BURNING RUBBER. HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT REAR BRAKE CALIPER, BRAKE PAD, AND ROTOR. ON 4-18-2013 (MILEAGE 65,922) THE SAME PROBLEM ON RIGHT REAR. THIS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR. ON 6-13-2014 (MILEAGE 93,310) THE SAME OVERHEATING OCCURRED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR BRAKE PADS. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS ON 3-16-2015 (MILEAGE 112,411). WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS EXAMINED IN TWO DAYS SO DO NOT YET KNOW THE DIAGNOSIS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS FAILURE COULD OCCUR WHILE WE ARE DRIVING AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, BLOWN TIRE, OR CRASH. *TR

ENGINE SURGED AND VEHICLE SPED UP, ON IT'S OWN, WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH BOULDERS AND RAILROAD TIES CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT, REAR, UNDERCARRIAGE, AND RUPTURED THE FUEL TANK. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST, PEOPLE WERE YELLING FOR THE OCCUPANTS TO "GET OUT" OF THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE FUEL WAS GUSHING ALL OVER THE GROUND. DRIVER IS 84 AND PASSENGER IS 82. BOTH SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THEIR SPINES AND DRIVER IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL AS OF 3/8/2015. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR
