SEATS IN 2010 HONDA ACCORD ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. THEY ARE HARD AND CAUSE DRIVER TO MOVE SEAT TO REMAIN COMFORTABLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD RESTRAINT. THE HEAD RESTRAINT PUSHED THE TOP OF HER HEAD THREE INCHES FROM THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROADWAY WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED HER THAT WAS THE DESIGN AND THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED; THE DEALER ONLY REPLACED THE HEAD RESTRAINT WITH ONE FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 188.

I TOOK MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD FOR A 15,000 MILE CHECK-UP AND THE DEALER FOUND EXCESSIVE WEAR ON MY REAR BRAKES AND HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES AND SERVICE ROTORS ON AN OUT-OF -POCKET COST TO ME. *TR

I HAD A 2010 ACCORD, AFTER 400-600 MILES I STARTED GETTING THE CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING LEFT EVERYTIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN AROUND 1200 MILES. THIS TIME THEY FOUND THE ISSUE TO BE THE REVERSE GEAR FORK. THERE WAS AN INTERNAL SPRING THAT HAD BROKE. THANKFULLY IT'S UNDER WARRANTY, THEY PUT A NEW REVERSE GEAR FORK IN AND NO PROBLEMS SINCE. NOISE HAS GONE. *TR

I HAVE HAD A HARD TIME SEEING SOME OF THE NEWER MODEL CARS AT DUSK DAWN AND NIGHT. IT SEEMS THAT SOME OF THE NEWER MODELS HAVE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS THAT CONSIST ONLY OF HEAD LIGHTS WHICH THE DRIVERS MISTAKEN FOR HAVE ALL THEIR LIGHTS ON. SO A CAR MAY HAVE HEADLAMPS BUT NO TAIL LAMPS. I DO APPROVE OF DRL'S ( I TURN ON MY LIGHTS AT ALL TIMES) BUT THEY SHOULD INCLUDE TAIL LAMPS. I BELIEVE THIS NEW SETUP IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN HELPFUL. *TR

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD IS LOUD WHEN STARTING, SOUNDS LIKE A RACE CAR. IT ALSO DOES NOT STOP ON A DIME AND IN FACT SPEEDS UP AS I APPLY THE BRAKES. THIRDLY, THE REVS ARE TOO HIGH AND LASTLY, THE GEAR SHIFTS ON ACCELERATION IS NOT SMOOTH AT ALL AND SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS PUSHING TOO HARD TO CHANGE GEARS! THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. I TOOK TO DEALER MONTH AGO SAW NOTHING. ONLY HAD CAR TWO MONTHS!! *TR

PURCHASED 2010 HONDA ACCORD MARCH 29, 2010. WITHIN 2 WEEKS A KNOCKING OR POPPING NOISE STARTED FROM THE FRONT END. PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. SO LOUD THAT I THOUGHT THE TIRES WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. AFTER 5 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS FINALLY TOLD THAT IT WAS THE BALL JOINTS, BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT ON THE FRONT END. THREE OF THE 5 TRIPS WAS TOLD THAT THE NOISE COULD NOT BE RE-EMULATED, AND NOTHING WAS DONE. THE SECOND TRIP IN, THE NOISE WAS HEARD BY A TECHNICIAN AND WAS TOLD THAT "A FEW BOLTS WERE LOOSE ON THE SWAY BAR". THE NOISE CAME BACK WITHIN 2 DAYS. FINALLY CAME IN AND REQUESTED A MANAGER TO DRIVE THE CAR TO HEAR THE NOISE, THAT IS WHEN BALL JOINTS WERE ORDERED AND REPLACED THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THROUGH ALL OF THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY SAFE AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT! *TR

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD SEATS ARE SO BAD MY BACK HURTS ALL THE TIME NOW, THE LUMBAR JAMS IN TO MY LOWER BACK AND THE HEADREST PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU FIND OUT AFTER A FEW DAYS OF DRIVING AND THEN IT'S TO LATE THE DEALERS GOT YOU AND WHEN YOU COMPLAIN THEY TRY AND UPSALE YOU WITH A HUGE LOSS ON YOUR NEW CAR OR YOU GET SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. I STARTED TO DRIVE MY 1996 EXPLORER TO RELIEVE MY BACK PAIN AND LET MY NEW HONDA SIT IN THE GARAGE. SO MUCH FOR SAVING FUEL, AND NOW I HAVE A CAR PAYMENT ON TOP OF IT. *TR

PURCHASE A 2010 HONDA ACCORD ON 5/24/10 - SINCE THE PURCHASE THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR "POPPING/KNOCKING" ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. FIRST I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A LOOSE BOLT ON THE SUSPENSION, THE SECOND TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS AGAIN LOOSE BOLTS ON THE SUSPENSION - CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR THIRD TIME AWAITING RESPONSE. THE NOISE IS EXTREMELY LOUD AND DISTRACTING - TERRIFIED THAT THE TIRES WILL FALL OFF WHEN DRIVING. DEALER DOES NOT SEEMED CONCERNED. *TR

DRIVER SEATBACK: TOO MUCH OUTWARD ARCH RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF IT THAT DIGS INTO DRIVER'S BACK. SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO DISCOMFORT AND PHYSICAL PAIN DURING A MID TO LONG DRIVING RANGE AND THE DISTRACTIONS IT CREATES. *TR

DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER SUCKS WATER BACK INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AS IT SWIPES BACK - THUS SEVERELY HINDERING VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 HONDA ACCORD WITH 27,000 MILES AND AT THE DEALER TODAY THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES AT A COST OF OVER $500. I HAVE ALWAYS GOT OVER 50,000 MILES FROM A SET OF BRAKES ON ALL OF THE OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS THAT I HAVE OWNED. I NOW FIND OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT OVER THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR. *TR

KNOCKING NOISE AT LOW SPEED 5 TO 10 MPH. APPEARS TO BE IN STEERING RACK. THOUGHT PERHAPS BRAKES BUT WE HAVE ELIMINATED THOSE. POPPING NOISE CAN FELT WHEN MOVING STEERING WHEEL RIGHT TO LEFT AND IDLE WITH OR WITHOUT ENGINE RUNNING AND HOLDING HAND ON TIE ROD ENDS. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM BUT STEERING IS NOT SAFE WITH THIS BEING FELT. CAR HAS 5000 MILES ON ODOMETER AND IS 4 MONTHS OLD. IT JUST STARTED 1 DAY AT ABOUT 4500 MILES.THE LONGER IT IS DRIVEN IN A DAY THE LOUDER THE NOISE BECOMES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. SHE NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE AND A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IN THE GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE FUEL PUMP CLIP WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,100. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,800.

THE CAR HAD ONLY 4100 MI. AND CONSUMED A COMPLETE FILL DRY. TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL AT TIMES FOR THE CAR TO DO THIS ONE TIME. CAR WAS ALSO SHUTTING THE CYLINDERS DOWN AT APP.30 MPH NOT THE 55 MPH IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO TO SAVE MILEAGE. IT WAS RETURNED TO US AND 3 DAYS LATER STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT HAD THE WRONG PLUGS IN IT.CHANGED THE PLUGS AND RETURNED TO US. DROVE THE CAR APPP. 90 MI. AND STARTED IT AGAIN. THE SERVICE MGR. TOLD US THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO MORE THAN MY ACCORD. THIS TIME THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT THE ROCKER ARM PIN IN CYL. NO.2 WAS UNDERSIZED AND WAS STICKING CLOSED,CAUSING A MISS. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM OR NOT. ALL THE WHILE THEY WERE COMMUNICATING WITH ENGR. FROM HONDA. THEY HAVE MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND IT IS A LEASE.THEY ARE TALKING OF CHANGING A HEAD OR MAYBE EVEN THE BLOCK. PURCHASING A 30000.00 AUTO AND HAVING ONLY 4900 MI. IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I WOULD LIKE ANOTHER HONDA IN IT'S PLACE AND I WOULD BE COMPLETELY SATISFIED. HAD THE ROCKER ARM STUCK OPEN THE PISTON WOULD HAVE EXPLODED AND COULD CAUSE GREAT BODILY HARM TO MYSELF AND ANYONE AROUND ME AT THE TIME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION OCCURRING HERE AND COULD REALLY INVOLVE A LOT OF INNOCENT PEOPLE IF IT CONTINUES. *TR

HONDA ACCORD 2010 EX 4-CYL MANUAL TRANSMISSION - VEHICLE ID IS [XXX] I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AS I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT. IT HAD FELT 'ODD' LEAVING THE PREVIOUS LIGHT. THE CLUTCH PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. THE GEARBOX LOCKED UP SO I COULDN'T SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING NORMALLY. A MOTORCYCLE COP CAME TO HELP ME - IT WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC - AND HE COULDN'T GET THE CLUTCH OR GEARS TO WORK. I TURNED IT OFF. AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, I LOOKED AT THE CLUTCH PEDAL. A GENTLE TUG AND IT CAME BACK UP. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME, A COUPLE MORE MILES, WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAD 900 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I CONSULTED AN ONLINE HONDA TECHNICIAN AND RECEIVED THIS RESPONSE: "THE PROBLEM IS THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER . THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE RODS GETTING STUCK . THE DEALER WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH MASTER AND BLEED THE SYSTEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. HAVE DONE A FEW SO FAR . NO BULLETIN OR RECALL YET." I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER (MOTORCARS HONDA CLEVELAND). THEY CONFIRMED THIS DIAGNOSIS AND REPLACED THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. THE SERVICE REP ALSO SAID THEIR CLEVELAND HEIGHTS SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD ALSO SEEN THE SAME PROBLEM A NUMBER OF TIMES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE SEATS ON THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD EX 4CYL WHICH I JUST PURCHASED NEW ARE SO CONSTRUCTED THAT AFTER DRIVING IT I HAVE HAD TO CONSULT MY DOCTOR AND RECEIVE EXTENSIVE TREATMENT FROM A PHYSICAL THERAPIST! I HAVE A 2001 HONDA AND JUST SOLD MY 1988 HONDA AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THIS SEAT DEFECT. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER: I CAN'T DRIVE OR RIDE IN THE CAR. A SEARCH ONLINE DISCLOSES THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED FROM THESE BADLY DESIGNED SEATS. *TR

HONDA 2010 ACCORD EXL THIS VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE ENGINE WILL NOT DISENGAGE AND BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. I HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE HOLDING THE BRAKE SECURELY TO STOP IT FROM HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.. THE MILEAGE IS UNDER 1,000 MILES. THE INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED TWICE (2) IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. MY NAME IS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2009 HONDA ACCORD WAS FOUND BY DEALER TO HAVE "NO REAR BRAKES" TODAY DURING A SERVICE VISIT. PER THE DEALER, HONDA CHANGED THE BRAKE PROPORTIONING FOR THESE VEHICLES SO THAT ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL OF THE BRAKING IS DONE BY THE REAR WHEELS. AS A RESULT, THE REAR PADS ARE WORN TO NOTHING PER THE DEALER WHILE THE FRONT PADS ARE HARDLY WORN AT ALL.

2010 HONDA ACCORD CROSSTOUR. CONSUMER STATES DESIGN DEFECT IMPEDES PROPER REAR VIEW VISION. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE HAS A HEAVY BAR RUNNING HORIZONTALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW. THE BAR MAY HAVE BEEN REQUIRED FOR THE STRUCTURE OF THE REAR DOOR, BUT IT SUBSTANTIALLY BLOCKED THE REAR VISION FOR THE DRIVER. *JB

I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT WHEN I WENT TO PURCHASE 4-CYLINDER 2010 HONDA ACCORD I NOTICE THAT STEERING SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE. I USED TO BE A STEERING ENGINEER HENCE KNOW THE SYSTEM EXPECTATIONS. I DID NOT BUY THE VEHICLE. STEERING DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER. I DROVE MY FRIENDS CAR AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE. SOMEONE CAN GET REALLY HURT. THIS IS TYPICALLY A SAFETY TO FUEL ECONOMY TRADEOFF ENGINEERING CHOICE. I DO NOT WORK IN AUTO INDUSTRY ANYMORE BUT WANTED GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW 2010 HONDA ACCORD AT MARIN HONDA IN LARKSPUR, CALIFORNIA ON SUNDAY 1/31/2010. BUT I DID NOT PICK UP THE CAR UNTIL MONDAY 2/1/2010 BECAUSE THE CAR WAS "NOT PREPARED" ON SUNDAY EVENING. I DROVE THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALER IN THE AFTERNOON ON 2/1/2010 AND I BEGAN TO NOTICE A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE HOOD ON DRIVER SIDE. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER ON TUESDAY MORNING WHERE A MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT THE NOISE MAYBE COMING FROM THE DEFECTIVE HOUSING UNIT OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER. THE MECHANIC ORDERED THE NEW PART BUT IT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NEXT WEEK. THE NOISE HAS BEEN PERSISTENT AND GETTING STRONGER/LOUDER WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND WHEN THE CAR IS IDLING AT INTERSECTION. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO APPEARED TO SHAKE WHENEVER THIS LOUD RATTLING NOISE CAME OUT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS PROBLEM MAYBE MORE THAT JUST A DEFECTIVE HOUSING PART OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER, HENCE I AM REPORTING THIS TO ASSURE THAT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR BRAKES PROBLEM ARE NOT THE ISSUE FOR HONDA (IN LIEU OF WHAT IS GOING ON WITH TOYOTA CARS AT THE PRESENT TIME). PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THE NEW MODEL HONDA ACCORD. I HAD BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER OF HONDA BUT THIS INCIDENCE IS MAKING ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR QUALITY ASSURANCE SERVICE BEFORE RELEASING NEW CARS INTO THE MARKET. I THANK YOU FOR THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT YOU DO TO KEEP CONSUMERS LIKE ME SAFE ON THE ROAD. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE RIDING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN OUR NEW HONDA 2010 ACCORD. MY 2 DAUGHTERS WERE LOOKING THOUGH THE MOONROOF AT THE PLANE FLYING ABOVE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, A HOLD BLEW OUT OF THE MOONROOF. THE GLASS BLEW OUT--NOT IN. NOTHING HIT THE GLASS. *TR
