2009 Honda Accord complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION, A POPPING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEFECT WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE BEARINGS IN THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, AND THEY STATED WOULD TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IN THE MATTER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 05/12/14 MA

THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND ON A COLD STARTUP FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 SECOND. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM AT NO COST. EVEN AFTER THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM THE SOUND STILL EXISTED BUT WASN'T AS LOUD. I RECENTLY TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $500 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND CLAIMED THAT THEY FIXED A DIFFERENT PROBLEM LAST TIME. THEY SAID THE ISSUE HAD TO DO WITH THE VTC ACTUATOR. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME A LOT WORSE AND THE SOUND IS VERY LOUD. *TR

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR I'VE NOTICED THAT MY OIL BURNS UP A LOT FASTER THAN OTHER CARS. WHEN I GET AN OIL CHANGE DONE IT ONLY TAKES LESS THAN 2 MONTHS FOR THE OIL IN THE TANK TO BURN AWAY QUICKLY. I USE THE RECOMMENDED 5W 20. I'M HAVING TO TOP OFF THE TANK MORE OFTEN AND SPEND MORE MONEY ON OIL CONSUMPTION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD ON THE INTERSTATE I-44 EAST NEAR FORT LEONARD WOOD MISSOURI. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE IN FRONT OF ME OR AROUND ME. WEATHER WAS CLEAR, TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE MID 50S. NO IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE OCCURRED. THE SUNROOF ON MY VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED AND EXPLODED SENDING GLASS THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. FURTHER, WHILE CLEANING UP THE GLASS MANY OF THE PIECES WERE SHARP AND GLASS SPLINTERS WERE PREVALENT. THERE WERE NUMEROUS NICKS AND CUTS ON MY HANDS AND MY SON'S HANDS FROM CLEANING UP THE GLASS WHICH WAS EVERYWHERE. IF ANYONE HAD BEEN IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR (PARTICULARLY A CHILD), THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. MY SON WITNESSED THIS AS WELL - HE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AGAIN, BOTH OF US CAN CONFIRM THAT THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OR TO THE SIDE OF US AND NOTHING HAPPENED (SUCH AS A ROCK FROM A VEHICLE IN FRONT) THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE SUNROOF TO SHATTER. FURTHER, THE FACT THAT IT SHATTERED THE WAY IT DID WITH SHARP GLASS AND SPLINTERING THROUGHOUT THE CAR IS PROBLEMATIC. I HAVE TRIED TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER WITH HONDA TO NO AVAIL. I CONSIDER THIS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. A SUNROOF SHOULD NEVER EXPLODE IN THIS MATTER ABSENT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. MORE IMPORTANTLY, HAD THOSE SMALL, SHARP SHARDS OF GLASS AND SPLINTERS HIT SOMEONE'S EYES IN THE BACKSEAT OF THE CAR, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED A VERY SERIOUS INJURY. BASED UPON SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET, OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME OCCURRENCE. *T

I HAVE A TERRIBLE PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAYTIME. SUNLIGHT SHINES IN THROUGH THE WIND SHIELD ONTO THE DASH BOARD (DIRECTLY BEHIND MY STEERING WHEEL) AND REFLECTS THE DASH BOARD ONTO THE WIND SHIELD IN MY TOTAL FIELD OF VISION STRAIGHT AHEAD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS BUT I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE ITS LIKE TRYING TO SEE THROUGH A MUDDY GLASS AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE REAR BRAKES BEGAN MAKING A GRINDING AND HUMMING SOUND. AFTER TAKING IT TO A DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 348.00 DOLLARS. THEY FAILED ABOUT 40000 MILES BEFORE THE WARRANTIED DISTANCE OF 70000 MILES. I LATER FOUND A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT (BROWNE VS HONDA) IN WHICH IT WAS DETAILED THAT HONDA WAS TO PAY 150 DOLLARS FOR THE PARTS AND 125 DOLLARS FOR THE LABOR. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT MY BRAKE PADS WERE DEFECTIVE OR ISSUED A RECALL. THE CASE ONLY APPLIES TO VEHICLES UNDER 3 YEARS FROM ORIGINAL PURCHASE, BUT BECAUSE OF MY MILITARY SERVICE MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY HALF OF THE EXPECTED MILEAGE 6 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I NOW EXPECTED TO SHOULDER THE COST OF DEFECTIVE PARTS AND LABOR AS WELL AS AN INHERENT RISK TO MY SAFETY BASED ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST THEM, AND THAT IT WAS SOMEHOW MY PROBLEM NOW. *TR

LOUD WHINING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR WHEELS WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, CAUSED US TO HAVE THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER CHECK THE BRAKES. THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE VERY BADLY WORN THROUGH. THE CAR IS DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE TIME, MEANING THE BRAKES WOULD NOT HAVE EXCESSIVE USE. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THE TYPE OF DRIVING WE DO AND HOW WE DRIVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT HONDA HAS HAD TWO CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HERE IS THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. THE SETTLEMENT DOES NOT BENEFIT US SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2009. WE HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT MANY DRIVERS MUST REPEATEDLY REPLACE THESE BRAKE PADS. SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. *TR

STARTED FROM STOP AT LIGHT INTERSECTION AND ACCELERATED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. AFTER LETTING OFF ACCELERATOR AND NOW GOING STRAIGHT, FOUND CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING AT FULL THROTTLE. BEGAN HEAVILY STEPPING ON BRAKE WITH CONTINUED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CONTINUING. SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND RPM METER SHOWED ENGINE REVVING TOWARD 7000 RPM AND DECIDED TO GO BACK TO DRIVE GEAR TO AVOID CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE WHILE STILL HEAVILY STEPPING ON BRAKE. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CONTINUED IN DRIVE GEAR AND AFTER SEVERAL MORE SECONDS, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF WHILE IN DRIVE GEAR. ENGINE SUCCESSFULLY SHUT OFF AND I CONTINUED TO KEEP FOOT ON BRAKE AND STEERING THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT. AFTER CAR CAME TO A STOP IN PARKING LOT, PUT THE GEAR BACK TO PARK MODE AND PROCEEDED TO START THE CAR IGNITION (I HAVE NOT TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT ALL SINCE REALIZING THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAD OCCURRED). CAR STARTED AS NORMAL WITH NORMAL IDLE SPEED IN PARK. DROVE THE CAR TO DEALER AND HAD DEALER CHECK FOR CODES AND TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. NOTHING ABNORMAL WAS FOUND DURING CODE READING AND TEST DRIVE. DEALER SAID THAT DRIVER SIDE RUG COULD HAVE CAUSED ACCELERATOR TO STICK BUT THIS IS NOT LIKELY CAUSE (IN MY OPINION) BECAUSE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHOULD THEN HAVE STILL BEEN STUCK WHEN I RE-STARTED THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. *TR

THE NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE UNDER THE GLOVE BOX WHEN THE AIR IS ON IS ANNOYING AND PRETTY LOUD. THE RADIO CAN'T EVEN CONCEAL THE SOUND AT LOW VOLUME. LIKEWISE, THE GLOVE BOX ISN'T LATCHED ACCORDING TO THE LINES OF THE DASH (1 CM GAP). THE GLOVE BOX MOVES AND RATTLES. THE SEAT ALSO RATTLES AND SHAKES WHEN GOING OVER ANY SURFACE WHETHER HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS... THESE NOISES ARE JUST TOO MUCH. THE CAR IS 09 NOT 1988. ACTUALLY 1988 PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS. THE DEAL SAID THE AIR NOISE IS NORMAL??? SORRY IT'S NOT NORMAL TO NOT BE ABLE TO TALK TO SOMEONE BECAUSE THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S BREAKING DOWN AND NOISE IS COMING FROM EVERY DIRECTION. *TR

ENGINE NOISE ON COLD START. HONDA STATES A DEFECTIVE VTC ACTUATOR. TSB 09-010. *TR

I REPLACE A REAR BRAKE PAD ON JULY 10,2010 JUST A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW CAR. IT WAS 18,257 MILES.AS OF OCTOBER 29 ,2013 I FACING A GAIN A SAME PROBLEM. MY MILEAGE NOW IT 60,000. IS HONDA STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM? THANKS, *TR

POWER DOOR LOCKS DID NOT OPERATE FOR CAR DOORS OR TRUNK VIA THE REMOTE KEY FOB. THE KEY WOULD NOT MANUALLY UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS. THERE IS NO MANUAL KEY ACCESS FOR THE TRUNK. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT AND VSA WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY MY FAMILY REACHED OUR DESTINATION SHORTLY AFTER THIS OCCURRED IN FONTANA, CA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IT WOULD JERK AND HESITATE BACKWARDS WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO ROCK HONDA THE FOLLOWING MORNING ON 10/18/2013 IN FONTANA, CA AND THEY CHARGED ME 638.60 STATING THE VEHICLE NEEDED A PCM UPDATED SOFTWARE AND ADJUSTED VALVES. IN DOING FURTHER RESEARCH IT SEEMS I SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN CHARGED THIS AS THERE IS A RECALL ID #74308 STATING ISSUES WITH THE PCM AND TCM AND THAT HONDA WOULD UPDATE THE CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

WHITE PAINT NEAR REAR WINDSHIELD IS PEELING OFF. *TR

HONDA HAS A REAR BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. REPLACING THE PADS DOES NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IN MY CASE THE REAR CALIPERS STUCK. THE WHEEL WAS TOO HOT TO TOUCH...THE WHEEL...THIS AFTER ONLY 8 MILES TO HOME FROM WORK. HONDA WENT TO A CERAMIC REAR PAD WHICH ONLY ADDED HEAT TO A REAR BRAKE SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT FIT THAT CAR....THE NEXT PROBLEM WILL BE REAR HUB ASSEMBLIES FAILING BECAUSE OF OVER HEATING...I BELIEVE HAD I DRIVEN 20 PLUS MILES THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE..JUST BELOW THE GAS FILLER CAP ...NOT GOOD... HONDA HAS A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO STEP UP ON THIS ONE. *TR

HONDA HAS A REAL PROBLEM HERE...THEY TRIED TO FIX IT WITH CERAMIC BRAKE PADS..WHAT THAT DID IS MAKE MORE HEAT FOR A UNDERSIZED BRAKE SYSTEM. IN MY CASE THIS HEAT CAUSED THE REAR CALIPERS TO TO STICK. IN AS LITTLE AS 10 MILES I COULD NOT TOUCH THE WHEEL.. IF I HAD DRIVEN ANOTHER 15+ MILES I BELIEVE FIRE WOULD HAVE STARTED..RIGHT BELOW THE GAS FILL CAP...NOT GOOD... SO NOT ONLY ARE MY REAR CALIPERS COOKED, ROTORS WARPED,BRAKE PADS SHOT, BRAKE FLUID BOILED...THE REAR HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY HAS HAD GREASE COOKED OUT OF IT AND MAKES NOISE...THIS PROBLEM GOES WAY PAST BRAKE PADS... *TR

MY CAR USES 1 QT OIL WEEKLY AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN STARTING. CHANGE OIL EVERY 7,000 MILES AND HAVE TO ADD 1 QUART WEEKLY. VSA & OIL LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN AFTER CLEARING THE ERROR CODES. REPLACED THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR WHICH MALFUNCTIONED WEEKS LATER. PEARSON HONDA & WEST BROAD HONDA, RICHMOND VA INFORMED ME THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. UNBELIEVABLE AFTER READING SO MANY BLOGS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER HONDA OWNERS. THIS MODEL HONDA IS A LEMON AND HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR AT NO CHARGE TO THE OWNER. REPLACED WHEEL BEARING ON FRONT AND NOW THE REAR IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE. NEVER HAD A HONDA WITH THESE MANY ISSUES. WANTED TO TRADE IT FOR THE 2013 AND DEALER OFFERED ME $6,700 FOR A CAR I PAID $26,000 FOR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! *TR

AROUND SEPTEMBER 6, 2013, WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET, MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER CLOSING THE CAR DOOR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA WHO SAID THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, YES IT WAS BACK IN 2010. HONDA WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND SAID TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM. IF YOU LOOK ONLINE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL HONDA OWNERS, WITH SEVERAL MAKES. IS HONDA WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE ISSUING A RECALL? HONDA SAID I PROBABLY HIT A POTHOLE OR CURB, IF THAT WERE THE CASE THERE WOULD BE HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND AIR BAGS DEPLOYING. HONDA IN CALIFORNIA WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. GLAD IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY WHERE SOMEONE COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED. MAYBE IF IT HAPPENED TO A HONDA CORPORATE EMPLOYEE'S CAR THEY MIGHT FIX IT!!! I HAVE PRINTED OUT PAGES UPON PAGES OF HONDA OWNERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND I WILL BE AT THE DEALERSHIP HANDING OUT THIS INFORMATION TO INCOMING CUSTOMERS TO LET THEM KNOW THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL DO THIS EVERY WEEKEND UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. *JS

I HAVE 2009 HONDA ACCORD I PURCHASED FROM BAYRIDGE HONDA 23089 MILES AT 2011. TODAY 36700 MILES. WHEN I WAS DRIVING BROOKLYN QUEENS EXPRESSWAY TWO WEEKS AGO VSA AND ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. AND FEELING ENGINE IS VIBRATING& UNCONTROLLED BRAKE DISTANCE, TWO WEEKS AGO I VISIT MY CAR DEALER; THERE IS VSA & ENGINE LIGHT ON WHEN MY CAR 36500 MILES. BAYRIDGE HONDA SERVICE CHECKED THERE IS NO MISTAKE IN THE CAR. WHEN I BACK MY CAR ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF EVERYTHING LOOKING SMOOTH. (CHARGED 105.00$)FOLLOWING WEEKEND SHORT TRIP CONNECTICUT- NEW HAVEN (180 MILES) AND I RETURNED AS SOME PROBLEM ENGINE IS IRREGULAR WORKING OR STALLING WHEN IS WORKING. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA BEFORE SERVICED MY CAR.JUST SUGGEST SERVICED YOUR CAR. FIRST VSA FOLLOWING ENGINES LIGHT AND UNCONTROLLED LOOSE BRAKE CONDITION IS CAME WHEN ENGINE NOT TAKE GAS IRREGULAR. ENGINE VIBRATION AND SHUT OFF ENGINE .MY PERSONAL AUTO TECHNICIAN TEST DRIVEN CAR WITH ME , HE DIAGNOSED SOME PROBLEM. SOMETHING IS RUNNING WRONGLY . PLEASE BE ADVICE THIS UNSAFELY CONDITION WHERE COMPLAINT THIS SITUATIONS . I WILL BE INTERNATIONAL TRIP SEPTEMBER 20 TO OCTOBER 1 OUT OF USA ,CAR IS PARKING NOT DRIVING FOR UNSAFELY CONDITION. SINCERELY *TR

WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING COLUMN, I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THERE IS A TSB ON THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS COVERED UNDER STANDARD WARRANTY,3 YEARS OR 36000. MY HONDA HAS 57800 ON IT AND IS NOT COVERED!!! I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MAY HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ARE VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE RESPONSE FROM HONDA WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE. CAN THE NTSB BRING THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM TO THE PUBLICS ATTENTION. *TR

A NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I HAD IT CHECKED TWICE BY AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC THEN TWICE BY HONDA. THEY ALL AGREED THAT THERE ARE 2 ISSUES. ONE IS PER HONDA'S SERVICE BULLETIN 08-017, THE ROCKER SHAFT BRIDGE HAS EXCESSIVE CLEARANCE WHICH CAUSES THE ROCKER TO ROTATE AND MAKE NOISE. THE SECOND, AND MOST IMPORTANT, IS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE, OF WHICH HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF A PROBLEM. I CURRENTLY GET 755 MILES PER QUART. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

MY REAR BRAKES NEED REPLACING AT 31500 MILES FOR A 2009 HONDA ACCORD MY 97 HONDA ACCORD DIDN'T HAVE THE FRONT BRAKES GO OUT UNTIL 80000 MILES, REAR BRAKES AT 150000. MY MECHANIC STATES MY BRAKES HAVE GONE LONGER THAN MOST. *TR

THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAYS THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HE FURTHER COMMENTED THAT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE DEFECT BUT HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT IT CAN OVER TIME AFFECT THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND OBVIOUSLY HONDA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. THERE IS NO REASON FOR A CAR LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD TO NEED THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED. *LN

I WENT TO INDEPENDENCE HONDA AND ASKED AS TO WHY BETWEEN MAINTENANCE, I WAS HAVING TO ADD OIL. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT WAS NEEDED, AND HE WOULD DOCUMENT IT. COME TO FIND OUT, THEY WERE DOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. INDEPENDENCE HONDA CLOSED AND IS NOW LEGENDS HONDA. HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD FIX IT. GAVE ME A LOANER CAR. CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THEY CLAIM THEY ONLY PUT IN ABOUT A QUART PER 1000 MILES. REGARDLESS OF WHAT MY DIP STICK SHOWS. I WILL JUST NEED TO WATCH MY OIL. I'VE HAD TO HAVE MY SPARK PLUGS REPLACED TWICE IN THE YEAR. HONDA CONTINUES TO ACTIVELY CONCEAL THE DEFECT FROM CONSUMERS AND DENY THERE'S A KNOWN PROBLEM. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SOFT LEATHER UPHOLSTERY ON THE ARM REST EXHIBITED NUMEROUS BUBBLES. IN ADDITION, THE TOP EXTERIOR DOOR PANEL LEATHER UPHOLSTERY ON THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDES ALSO HAD BUBBLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

CAR BURNS ENGINE OIL AT A RATE OF 1 QUART + PER 1000 MILES DRIVEN. *TR

MY ACCORD IS USING A QUART OF OIL ABOUT EVERY 1500 - 2000 MILES AND MORE THAN 2 QUARTS EVERY 3000 MILES. THERE IS NO OIL DRIPPING ON THE FLOOR AND THE ENGINE IS CLEAN; HOWEVER, THERE IS NO BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE. I AM AWARE OF A FEDERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND HAVE ALSO READ THAT HONDA DID ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM (QUIETLY) IN 2011. I WILL BE CONTACTING HONDA TOMORROW TO HEAR WHAT THEY SAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

BOUGHT THE CAR IN 9/09 HAD TO HAVE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE BURNT AND DISINTEGRATED THEREFORE RUINING THE ROTORS 8199 MILEAGE. 3/26/13 SAME ISSUE WITH REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS AT 15704 MILES. 8/1/13 SAME ISSUE WITH FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS AT 17321. IN MARCH THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE FINE AND AFTER 2000 MILES THEY NOW NEED REPLACED? *TR

MICHELIN, "PRIMACY", 235 45R18 -- MXM4 SOFT SIDEWALL GIVES SMOOTH, SOFT RIDE, BUT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO A "MUSHY", "JELLO-LIKE" SWAY IN TURNS TIRE W/ LESS THAN 3000 MILES BLEW-OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT 75 MPH, ON AN INTERSTATE, CLEAR WEATHER, WARM & SUNNY, BUT TIRE HAD BEEN DRIVEN IN HOT ( 95* + & AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS ) CONDITIONS DURING PREVIOUS WEEK. DRIVER DID NOT SEE OR HEAR, NOR WAS THERE ANY OBJECT IN THE ROAD THAT MIGHT CAUSE PRIOR DAMAGE TO THE TIRE -- IT JUST BLEW-OUT". THE TIRE WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED BY THE TIME THE DRIVER COULD DECREASE SPEED AND MOVE FROM THE FAR LEFT LANE ( OF THREE LANES ) TO THE SHOULDER. OWNER/DRIVER HAD DRIVEN 50,000+ THOUSAND MILES ON A PREVIOUS SET OF MICHELIN "PILOT" TIRES ( SAME SIZE, SAME CAR, SAME DRIVER, SAME VARIETY OF CONDITIONS ) WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS -- AND PLANS TO IMMEDIATELY REPLACE THE THREE REMAINING "PRIMACY" TIRES. *TR

PREMATURE WEAR ON THE REAR BRAKES OF 2009 HONDA ACCORD. AT 20,000 MILES I STARTED TO GET A SMALL "SQUEAK" IN THE REAR OF THE CAR NON THE LEFT SIDE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. ONLY AT LOW SPEEDS. AS THE MONTHS PASSED IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE, BUT I NEVER SUSPECTED WORN BRAKES. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER ON NOV 3, 2012 - I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY BAD DRIVING AND THE TRAFFIC IN THE DC AREA THAT HAD CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I PAID $586.22 FOR A BRAKE AND ROTOR REPLACEMENT. IN 44 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD WHAT WORN BRAKES SOUNDED LIKE. VA HAS ANNUAL INSPECTIONS, EACH YEAR THEY CHECK THE BRAKES. I HAD THE INSPECTION DONE IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 AFTER THE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN BRAKES FAIL AT SUCH AN EARLY RATE. \MANY DRIVERS HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT BEFORE. *TR

VEHICLE HAS BEEN CONSUMING OIL SINCE PURCHASED WITH 9,500 MILES. OIL CONSUMPTION HAS CONTRIBUTED TO FOULED SPARK PLUGS. FOULED SPARK PLUGS TRIGGERED "CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE" CODE AND EXTREMELY POOR PERFORMANCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE CAR EXPERIENCED DIFFERENT CYLINDER MISFIRE ISSUES. HONDA DEALER PERFORMED ENGINE COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATES ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE THAT THE ENGINE WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. IF THE CONSUMER IS NOT AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE IS USING OIL, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR THE ENGINE TO SEIZE CAUSING COSTLY REPAIRS OR TO LOSE POWER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DEALER IS NOW PERFORMING HONDA OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ACCORDING TO HONDA, CONSUMING 1 QUART OF OIL IN 1,000 MILES IS NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE. THIS BURNED OIL IS BEING RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT AS EVIDENCED BY THE BLACK CARBON ON THE TAIL PIPES. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A LEADING CAR MANUFACTURER WOULD DEEM OIL CONSUMPTION IN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AS NORMAL OR ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE OUT OF 12 THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED THAT CONSUMED OIL. EVEN VEHICLES WITH OVER 200,000 MILES DID NOT CONSUME OIL. I PURCHASED A HONDA SO THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RELIABILITY OR BREAK DOWNS FOR MANY YEARS. NOW I HAVE TO WORRY WITH CHECKING THE OIL EVERY WEEK AS TO NOT GET LOW OR RUN OUT. SAME VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD PREMATURE REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 60,000 MILES. COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH AME

MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD HAS A GRINDING NOISE THAT OCCURS WHEN THE IGNITION IS ACTIVATED FROM A COLD START. THE NOISE LASTS FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO SECONDS AND SOUNDS LIKE THE TIMING BELT SYSTEM IS RATCHETING INTO PLACE. THIS ONLY OCCURS ON A COLD START, MEANING THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN RUNNING FOR 4 OR MORE HOURS. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. AN INTERNET SEARCH LOCATED HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 09-010 DATED 08/17/10 AND THEN UPDATED ON 10/21/11. THE SAFETY BULLETIN DESCRIBES THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATOR AS BEING, "DEFECTIVE". ADDITIONAL INTERNET SEARCH IDENTIFIED THAT THE GRINDING NOISE WAS COMMON WITH THE 2009 ACCORD. I SPOKE WITH MY DEALER, HUGH WHITE HONDA, COLUMBUS, OHIO. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED WITH MY DIAGNOSIS AND NOTED THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THE VTC ACTUATOR. FURTHER, THE DEALER NOTED THAT HONDA ISSUED A 2011 SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE 2009 ACCORD TO ADDRESS COMPLAINTS OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. A SEPTEMBER 2011 NOTICE FROM HONDA IS TITLED "PRODUCT UPDATE: SOFTWARE UPDATE TO IMPROVE FUEL-INJECTOR AND VTC TIMING" THE NOTICE STATES THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR TIMING AND VTC TIMING AT COLD START MAY CREATE DEPOSITS ON THE OIL CONTROL RINGS THAT COULD CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION." THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT MY CAR HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE DEALER ARGUES THAT THE UPDATE IS SEPARATE FROM THE CURRENT GRINDING NOISE AND THAT THE VTC ACTUATOR HAS FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY MY GRINDI

THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THE V6 ENGINE THAT HAS VCM (VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT). I HAVE READ SEVERAL DIFFERENT REASONS FOR THE PROBLEM AT HAND BUT, THE CAR IS CONSUMING FAR MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD. FROM THE CONSUMING OF THE OIL IT IS ALSO CAUSING SPARK PLUGS TO FOUL. THERE ARE TONS OF FORUMS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT THAT WAS FILED SOMETIME IN 2012. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ FROM RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, HONDA EITHER DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLS SOME COMPUTER UPGRADE THAT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, TELLS PEOPLE THEIR ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT, IS TOLD THEY NEED TO RUN A DIFFERENT TYPE OF OIL, OR LIKE MYSELF WAS TOLD THAT IT IS COMPLETELY NORMAL FOR THESE ENGINES TO CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL PER 1000 MILES DRIVEN. ITS SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVES OR VALVE SEALS SEALING OFF COMPLETELY. IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM YET HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *TR

UPON EXITING DRIVEWAY AND TRAVELING ABOUT 50 FEET, AUTO ACCELERATED AS IF THE GAS PEDAL HAD BEEN DRIVEN TO THE FLOOR. DRIVER SWERVED OFF THE ROADWAY INTO A TREE ABOUT TEN FEET FROM THE ROADWAY. AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. NO SKID MARKS ON ROADWAY. *TR

IN DEC/12 I NOTICED A CLICKING NOISE IN MY STEERING WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT , I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAID BRING IT TO THE DEALER AND THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE . SINCE I WAS NOT HOME I DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL I RETURNED SINCE IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE ( MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE) . I WENT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN AND A COUPLE OF BOLTS AT A COSTS OF $800 . NOW WHILE I AM NOT A MECHANIC IF YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN IT WOULD DEFINITELY SOUND LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME . THERE IS EVEN A TSB ON IT FROM HONDA .AND WHILE I AM OUT OF WARRANTT HONDA ( AFTER COMPLAINING DID AGREE TO COVER THE COSTS OF PARTS APPROX 50% BUT THE BIGGER ISSUE IS THAT THEY ISSUED THIS TSB IN 09 AND THERE MUST BE A FLAW IN THE MECHANISM . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT HAD A DESIGN FLAW. THE BUCKLE WAS TOO SHORT TO CONNECT TO THE LATCH HOUSING AND THE PASSENGER WAS UNABLE TO ENGAGE THE SEAT BELT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AT APPROX. 35,000 MILES, MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WEAR INDICATOR FOR LEFT REAR DISC BRAKE IS RUBBING THE BRAKE DISC INDICATING THAT THE BRAKE PAD HAS REACH THE POINT WHERE THE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACE. THIS IS VERY PERPLEXING AS TO WHY THE REAR BRAKE NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT ON THE 2008-2009 HONDA ACCORDS AND 2009 ACURA TSX, AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT HONDA HAS AGREED TO PAY OUT $150 TO OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD TO FIX THIS PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE BRAKING AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. *TR

USES EXCESS AMOUNT OF OIL. HAVE TO CHECK DAILY. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. HAVE HEARD THERE IS SOME KIND OF LEAK INTO THE ENGINE AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!! ALSO, METALLIC PAINT IS PEELING- VERY CHEAP AND STEREO SYSTEM COMPONENTS NOT WORKING. ALSO MAKES A LOUD WEIRD SOUND FROM ENGINE WHEN IT FIRST STARTS. *TR

EXCESSIVE MOTOR OIL CONSUMPTION APPROXIMATELY 2 QUARTS FOR 850 MILES. *TR

METALLIC SILVER PAINT IS PEELING AND THE CAR LOOKS BEAT UP AND LOOKS CHEAP. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 55 MPG NOTICED VIBRATION COMING FROM ENGINE. FELT LIKE ENGINE MOUNTS HAD FAILED. WHEN I PULLED INTO OUR HOME DRIVEWAY IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING A DIESEL POWERED CAR. I NOTICED OIL LIGHT GLOWING. CHECKED OIL LEVEL, NOTHING SHOWED ON DIP STICK. UNDER 3000 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHECK. TOOK TO DEALER AND COMPLAINED. CHECKED FOR OIL LEAKS-NONE. FLASHED ENGINE MANAGEMENT WITH UPGRADE SAID SERVICE BULLETIN FROM HONDA SHOULD FIX ISSUE. KEPT CHECKING OIL LEVELS AT EACH GAS FILL UP. NOTICED A QUART OF OIL USED AROUND EVERY THOUSAND MILES OF MIXED DRIVING. BY 50,000 THAT HAD DROPPED TO USING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 600 MILES AND BY 56,000 MILES A QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES. ENGINE RAN ROUGH ALL THE TIME AND BLEW SMOKE. NO VISIBLE ENGINE LEAKS FROM DYE TEST. ENGINE OIL WOULD TURN BLACK WITHIN 1000 MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AT DEALER. DEALER INSTIGATED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST EVERY 1000 MILES. USED 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL. AT 58,000 MILES DEALER RECEIVED PERMISSION TO REPLACE MOTOR WITH NEW SHORT BLOCK FROM HONDA AND REMANUFACTURE HEADS WITH ALL NEW PARTS. THIS WAS AFTER DEALER TORE DOWN THE MOTOR AND CONFIRMED IT WAS SHOT. SCORED BORE AND DESTROYED RINGS, AND BLACK OIL SLUDGE IN MOTOR. ENGINE OIL HAD BEEN REPLACED AT DEALER WITHIN HONDA RECOMMENDED INTERVALS. NEVER HEARD OF A HONDA MOTOR FAILING AT 58,000 MILES IN MY LIFE. NEW MOTOR RUNS GREAT AND CAR IS LIKE NEW AGAIN. I'M GLAD THE ENGINE FAILED WITHIN THE 60,000 DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS T

I HAVE HAD UPPER BACK AND NECK PAIN FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS NOW AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY. I'VE RECENTLY GONE TO A BACK PAIN SPECIALIST AND FOUND THAT MY PROBLEM HAS BEEN CAUSED BY MY POSTURE, MAINLY FROM THE NEWER CARS I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. I'VE NOW BOUGHT AND SOLD SEVERAL CARS IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THINKING "I JUST NEED A LARGER MORE COMFORTABLE CAR" HOWEVER THAT I NOT THE CASE. THE KNOWN FACT THAT AUTOMOBILE SEATS ARE "VERY UNCOMFORTABLE" MADE SO BY THE FORWARD DESIGN OF THE HEADREST, CAUSING YOUR HEAD TO BENT FORWARD WHILE DRIVING. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, I'VE TURNED MY HEADREST AROUND BACKWARDS "NOT TOO SAFE" TO RELIEVE MY NECK PAIN AND THIS HAS WORKED, BUT IT IS VERY UNSAFE.....BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE ANOTHER EXAMPLE, I AM RENTING A CAR BECAUSE MY HONDA IS AT THE BODY SHOP. THE RENTAL CAR COMPANY GAVE ME A 2012 CHEVY MALIBU "IT IS EVEN WORSE" I STARTED DRIVING THIS CAR AT 5AM THIS MORNING AND WITHIN 10 MILES, I WAS IN SEVERE PAIN. THE PROBLEM NOW IS I CANNOT TURN THIS HEADREST AROUND BACKWARDS AS IT APPEARS YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE HEADREST TO TURN IT AROUND. TO RESOLVE THIS, I'LL BE TURNING THIS CAR BACK IN TODAY IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET A DIFFERENT CAR THAT MIGHT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT SEVERE NECK AND BACK PAIN. PLEASE - CHANGE THE HEADREST REQUIREMENT "NOW" TO ALLOW A SAFE BUT MORE COMFORTABLE RIDE WHILE DRIVING. I'VE NOW DRIVEN A 2006 CIVIC, 2009 ACCORD AND A 2012 MALIBU IN THE PAST 3 YEARS AND ALL THREE VEHICLES ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. AT LEAST THE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO BECOME TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO ADVISED THAT THE BATTERY POST FAILED AND CAUSED THE BATTERY WIRES TO SEPARATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO MISFIRING AND FOULED #3 SPARK PLUG. ALSO, BETWEEN MOTOR OIL CHANGES AT 35,761 MILES AND AT 43,140 MILES, APPROXIMATELY 2 QUARTS OF OIL WERE ADDED DUE TO EXCESSIVE MOTOR OIL CONSUMPTION.

WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING MY WHEEL I HEAR A LOUD CLICKING NOISE, TOOK IT TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS MY STEERING COLUMN. THEY REFUSED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING TUBE BUT NO OTHER RECALLS. I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON OTHER WEBSITES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. HONDA CLAIMS THEY HAVE RELIABLE VEHICLES. IF YOU MAKE THIS CLAIM MAYBE YOU SHOULD REPAIR A VEHICLE THAT HAS ONLY 40K MILES ON IT AND HAS BAD STEERING COLUMN. POOR COMPANY. THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA VEHICLE AND THE VERY LAST ONE THAT I WILL EVER BUY. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BROUGHT TO DEALER, OIL LOW. TECH B. HAD ALREADY BEEN ISSUED, AND SUGGESTED WORK COMPLETED AT THAT VISIT. PROBLEM PERSISTS, USING 2 /12 TO 3 QTS OIL BETWEEN CHANGES. *TR
