2012 Honda Accord complaints

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.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE ROOF AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V661000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER (HONDA WEST, 7615 W SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89117, (800) 249-9504) ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL HIS INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,325.

WHINING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD WHILE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND CONTINUED REGARDLESS OF THE CAR'S SPEED. CAUSE: POWER STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING. INTERNAL DAMAGE TO POWER STEERING PUMP. POWER STEERING RESERVOIR HAD DEBRIS IN IT CAUSING THE FLUID TO AERATE. SOLUTION: HONDA DEALERSHIP MECHANIC REPLACED THE POWER STEERING RACK, POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND POWER STEERING PUMP. NOTE: HAD BROUGHT CAR IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THIS SITUATION BACK ON AUGUST 4, 2017. RESULTS: MECHANIC FOUND THE POWER STEERING FLUID LOW AND PERFORMED A POWER STEERING FLUSH. HE ALSO STATED THAT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP MAY HAVE OCCURRED. NOISE WAS GONE AFTER THIS SERVICE.

THE STARTER OF MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD SPORT FAILED. MY CAR HAS 72500 MILES. HONDA HAS CLASSIFIED THIS A PREMATURE FAILURE CAUSED BY DEFECT, BUT HAS FAILED TO RECALL THE STARTER. THE STARTER THAT FAILED IS MADE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE STARTER FAILURE IS CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY CAUSING SERIOUS RISK. MANY HONDA CUSTOMERS HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH REPORTS OF STARTER FAILURE ON CARS WITH LESS THAN 30000 MILES. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS $800.00 AND HONDA HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR REIMBURSE THE COST OF THE FIX. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 2012 - 2017 HONDA ACCORD CARS WITH SIMILAR DEFECTIVE STARTER PART CURRENTLY ON AMERICAN ROADS, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO FAILURES AND ACCIDENTS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET I HEARD A LOUD NOISE (POP) I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DIDN'T SEE ANY VISUAL DAMAGE, SO I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE TRUNK AND THE TRUNK WOULD NOT POP OPEN, SO WHEN I LIFTED THE TRUNK THERE IS S BAR THAT WAS LAYING IN THE TRUNK, THE LITTLE WHITE PIECE THAT ROTATES THE BARS AND HOOKS THE BROKE SO THE TRUNK NO LONGER POPS UP WHEN TRUNK BUTTON IS PRESSED.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2012 ACCORD LX-P MODEL SINCE 2013 THROUGH PURCHASE AFTER AN EXPIRED LEASE. IT IS A DEALER "CERTIFIED" VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM I HAVE RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED IS THE STRONG SMELL OF GAS TANK FUMES AFTER A FILL AND ALSO AFTER A LONG TRIP. THE ODOR HAS BECOME STRONGER IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR WHILE THE SMELL STILL LINGERS AT THE GAS CAP/FILL TUBE/ WHEEL WELL AREA. THE 2013 MODEL HAS THE SAME CONDITION AND IS NOTED AS A RECALL. MY MODEL WAS MANUFACTURED IN JUNE 2012. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE PART AND OR MANUFACTURING PROCEDURE IS RELEVANT TO THE DEFECT IDENTIFIED IN THE ADJOINING YEAR 2013 MODEL. ALTHOUGH RECALLS ARE DECLARED THROUGH THE CORPORATE SOURCE, WE MUST EXPECT CONSUMERS TO BE ALERT AND REPORT THESE CONDITIONS. GAS VAPOR IS DANGEROUS AND UNWANTED FOR ANY DRIVER OR HONDA CUSTOMER. HONDA DECLARES SAFETY IS THEIR MOST IMPORTANT PARAMETER. I WANT THIS MODEL TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL LISTING SINCE ACCORD RECALLS FOR GAS PROBLEMS ARE HISTORICALLY DECLARED IN THE PILOT, ODYSSEY ACURA(2015-2016), 2012 CIVIC AND 1983,1984,1985,1986,1987,2005,2013 ACCORDS. GAS RELATED ISSUES SHOULD BE THE UTMOST CONCERN FOR A MANUFACTURER AND THE HISTORICAL RELEVANCE OF THIS MATTER SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS CASE AS WELL. *TR

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND METAL SHRAPNEL STRUCK AND INJURED THE CONTACT'S FACE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS IN THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN REGARDS TO THE TAKATA AIR BAG FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A CALL BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ENGINE GRINDS DURING COLD STARTUP. ENGINE NOISE PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER DURING DRIVING AND IDLING. HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND FINALLY ISSUED A FIX BUT MY CAR IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD THAT THEY'VE ADVERTISED. I FEEL CHEATED BECAUSE HONDA SEEMS TO HAVE WAITED UNTIL ENOUGH CARS WERE OUT OF WARRANTY BEFORE ISSUING A COSTLY FIX THAT THEY'VE KNOWN OF FOR CLOSE TO A DECADE.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE FORWARD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I COULDN'T STOP IT - BUT A TREE ABOUT 20 FEET AWAY DID. EVEN IF I HAD FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE GONE THAT FAST THAT QUICKLY. I HAVE READ OF OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. HONDA JUST SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN ON PRIVATE PROPERTY PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR ACCELERATED IMMEDIATELY AND WENT VERY FAST. I COULD NOT STOP IT BUT A TREE DID. EVEN IF I HAD FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE GONE THAT FAST THAT QUICKLY. THE DISTANCE WAS ABOUT 20 FEET. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE READ OF OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM - PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

TAKATA INFLATORS: THERE ARE CURRENTLY FOUR RECALLS FOR HONDA ACCORD 2012 FOR PASSENGER INFLATORS BUT FOR MY VIN THERE ARE NONE. MY VEHICLE WHICH ONLY HAS 39K MILES FAILED INSPECTION FOR MY SRS LIGHT. REGARDLESS OF THE MILLIONS OF AIRBAG RECALLS HONDA HAS DONE THEY REFUSED TO SCAN MY CAR FOR THE SRS CODE UNLESS I PAID THEM FOR IT. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD THE SCAN DONE FOR FREE AND GOT SRS CODE 32-10 "OPEN OR INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR". I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE NOW BECAUSE OF THIS AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE 1400 PLUS DOLLARS TO HAVE THESE ITEMS THAT SHOULDN'T BE DEFECTIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE REPAIRED. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MY VEHICLE IS ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST.

THE AIR BAG ICON ON THE DASHBOARD COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING; I CHECKED THE RECALL LIST FOR THE TAKATA RECALL, BUT MY VIN # ISN'T LISTED FOR THE CARS AFFECTED.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2012 AND TO DATE HAVE HAD REPAIRS TO EITHER REPLACE OR RESURFACE ROTORS WITH NEW BRAKE PADS 3 TIMES NOW. IT'S UNREAL AND VERY COSTLY. CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD DO A RECALL, THAT'S EXCESSIVE. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD. WHO HAS TO REPLACE ROTORS IN A CAR THAT'S SO YOUNG AND I'M CONTINUING DOING IT. IT'S 2018 AND I'M UP TO 3 TIMES NOW AND ONLY AT 83,000 MILES. DEFINITELY NOT LIVING UP TO THE HONDA BRAND.

PEELING OF FRONT BUMPER NEAR HOOD

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, USING MORE THAN 1 QT OF OIL WITHIN 1,000 MILES.

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.

APPEAR (AIR BAGS OFF) LIGHT ITSELF SOMETIMES WHILE I AM DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,802. *TT THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER WAS AWAITING PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER WAS TAKING AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO RECEIVE THE PARTS. *JS

2 JAN 17 WAS REAR ENDED. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE FRAME WITH A REPAIR COST OF $7000. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. 5 APR 17 WAS REAR ENDED AT A RED LIGHT. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF TRUNK AND DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR COST OF $6700. AGAIN AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED

THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL ACTUATOR MAKES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED IN THE MORNING FOR THE FIRST TIME. THAT IS THE ONLY TIME IT RATTLES; THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. THE MECHANIC SAYS IF THE ACTUATOR FAILS THE CAR WILL STOP WHEREVER IT IS. IF I'M IN TRAFFIC IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT; I LIVE IN THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA WHERE TRAFFIC IS USUALLY HEAVY WHICH COMPOUNDS THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY HONDA IS REPAIRING THE VTC ACTUATOR ON SOME HONDA ACCORDS, BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE FIX LIST, SO HONDA RECOGNIZES IT IS AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM, AND IT IS WIDE SPREAD ENOUGH THAT THEY ARE REPAIRING SOME HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE RIGHT VIN. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH HONDA ACCORD OWNER COMPLAINTS SO I KNOW THE PROBLEM IS HIGH IN NUMBERS. THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL, STATE OF CALIFORNIA REFERRED ME TO YOUR AGENCY AND ENCOURAGED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM DUE TO AN ENGINEERING MISSTEP IN PLANNING AND PRODUCTION. FURTHER I THINK IT POSES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR HONDA ACCORD OWNERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC IF THE ENGINE MALFUNCTIONS AS THE AUTO TECHNICIANS SAY IT WILL. I THINK HONDA RECOGNIZES THE PROBLEM, BUT ARE ADDRESSING IT IN A PIECE-MEAL FASHION RATHER THAN ISSUING A RECALL. I HOPE YOU CAN GIVE ME AND OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS SOME RELIEF. THANK YOU

TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET THROUGH AN INTERSECTION STARTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN MOVING ABOUT 20 MPH, MY RIGHT PASSENGER FRONT TIRE HIT A POTHOLE. THAT IS WHEN THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THAT AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY IN THESE CONDITIONS, AS THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I HIT NOTHING, MEANING THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE BODY OF THE CAR, YET THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND FRIGHTENED ME TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO STOP IN THE INTERSECTION TO GATHER MYSELF BACK TOGETHER. HONDA TELLS ME THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS WITH MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE, BUT THERE ARE PLENTY NOTED WITH MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR, BUT JUST NOT WITH MINE IN PARTICULAR. I HAVE CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND PLEADED MY CASE WITH THEM AS WELL, AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY, WHICH I DO NOT THINK IS APPROPRIATE. THERE HAS TO BE A DEFECT IN WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AT SUCH A LOW SPEED WITH A POTHOLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE POTHOLE WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, YET THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOY. SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT WITH THE CAR AND HONDA IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING IT. I ALSO TOLD HONDA I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW, I FEEL THAT IF I HIT ANOTHER BUMP IN THE ROAD AN AIRBAG IS GOING TO DEPLOY. IT'S A SCARY SITUATION, BUT HONDA DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT IT. PLEASE BRING THIS CASE TO THEM, AS SOMEONE THERE IN UPPER MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THESE TYPES OF THINGS ARE GOING ON, AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE JUST DON'T SEEM TO CARE. THIS SH

WE FOUND OUR CAR IN THE GARAGE WITH ALL THE WINDOWS WIDE OPEN INCLUDING THE MOON ROOF WINDOW. THE RED CIRCLE ALARM WAS FLASHING. I STARTED THE CAR AND THE ALARM WENT OUT. THEN ALL WAS FINE. WHAT COULD CAUSE THAT? AND COULD IT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING?

ON JAN 16, 2018 I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON E. KINGS, SHREVEPORT, LA IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A 4-LANE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 3:40PM. IT HAD SNOWED THE PREVIOUS DAY AND THERE WERE STILL PATCHES OF ICE ON ROADWAYS IN MANY SPOTS. AS I APPROACHED ONE OF THOSE ICE PATCHES AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, WHICH COVERED BOTH LANES IN THE SOUTHERLY DIRECTION I WAS HEADED, AN SUV BEHIND ME AND TRAVELLING THE SAME DIRECTION BEGAN TO PASS MY VEHICLE, LOST CONTROL OF HIS VEHICLE ON THE ICE AND INTO NORTHBOUND LANE AND WHEN HE HIT DRY PAVEMENT ON THAT SIDE OF ROAD VEERED SHARPLY RIGHT AND HIT MY CAR BROADSIDE WITH THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER OF HIS VEHICLE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE HONDA AND MY HEAD WAS BANGED AGAINST THE INSIDE PILLAR ON DRIVERS SIDE. COLLISION RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE HONDA'S DRIVER DOOR, LEFT REAR DOOR SEVERELY DAMAGED AND PULLED SLIGHTLY FROM VEHICLE; AND LIGHT DAMAGE ON LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL. BOTH VEHICLES REMAINED IN MOTION UNTIL THE COLLISION. SUV SPUN AGAIN AFTER IMPACT & CAME TO A STOP BLOCKING BOTH SOUTHBOUND LANES WITH FRONT OF VEHICLE FACING THE NORTHBOUND LANES. II WAS USING MY SEATBELT AS I ALWAYS DO. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT CONSIDERING THE SPEED OF THE SUV WHEN IT HIT MY HONDA, THE DAMAGE IT INFLICTED ON THE HONDA, AND THE FACT IT SPUN THE SUV BACK AROUND COMPLETELY FACING ANOTHER DIRECTION (IMAGE SUV 1) THAT AT LEAST THE SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED ON HONDA.

TAKARA RECALL, I KNOW THE FACT THAT IS SOME DEATH ACCIDENTS IN U.S. I WILL JOIN THE GROUP OF PEOPLE IN THE TAKARA RECALL.

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.

I JUST BROUGHT THIS CAR IN 2016 AND IT ALREADY NEEDING NEW TIRES I THINK WHERE I GOT THE CAR FROM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ME SOME NEW TIRES.

TIRES ON HONDA ACCORDS ARE CUPPING FOR NO GIVEN REASON, THERE WAS A RECALL ON HONDA CIVIC FOR CUPPING, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR CUPPING ON HODA ACCONRD V6 AND SEDDAN, TOOOOOO MANY COMPLAINTS , EVEN WHEN ALIGNMENTS TIRE ROTATION AND ALL DONE ON TIME

I NOTICE WHITE THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE AIR BAG KEEP POPPING UP ON AND OFF

YESTERDAY MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE RECALL LIST FOR MY VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED, THE BRAKES LOCKED AND FAILED TO RESPOND, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (NARDY HONDA SMITHTOWN, 559 MIDDLE COUNTY RD, ST JAMES, NY 11780), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (ATLANTIC HONDA, 1375 SUNRISE HIGHWAY, BAYSHORE, NY 11706) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR HEAVILY VIBRATING WHEN THE CAR REACHED 60,000 WHICH IS A CONCERN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IF FELT UNSAFE, I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AT ONLY 30,000 MILES, THEY SAID IT WAS CRACKED SEALS IN THE STEERING RACK. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLE, VIBRATE. THEY FIXED IT, AGAIN IT HAPPENED AT 55,000 MILES, THEN AGAIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES LATER REPLACING THE STEERING COLUMN. ALL UNDER WARRANTY, THANK GOD I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IS THIS NORMAL. NOW I AM FULLY OUT OF WARRANTY, IT IS BEGINNING TO VIBRATE AGAIN. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE I GOT THIS MAKE AND MODEL, NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH ANOTHER HONDA. JUST CONCERNED THAT IT WILL BE AN EXPENSIVE ISSUE THAT SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM SINCE EARLY ON. THE CAR WOULD BE IN MOTION, INVOLVEMENT WAS WHEN REACHING A SPEED OF 55 OR HIGHER ON THE HIGHWAY. IT STILL VIBRATED AT LOWER SPEED BUT BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE PAST THAT POINT AND THE CAR WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT WITH A STIFF WHEEL.

'TAKATA RECALL' SINCE AFTER 1 MONTH WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR 'SRS' POP OUT ON MY DASH BOARD AND TOOK IT FROM THE MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT MY AIRBAG SOMETHING PROBLEM AND I DONT HAVE CONFIDENCE WHEN IM DRIVING IT SO I DECIDED TO BUY A SECOND CAR TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND ...... SO UNTIL NOW MY HONDA ACCORD 2002 STILL IN LOW MILEAGE I GOT TO THE DEALER 50,000 MILES FOR ALMOST 13 YRS SECOND OWNER IVE USED ONLY AROUND 46,000 MILES COZ IM NOT CONFIDENT OR PEACE OF MIND SINCED MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY AIRBAG HAD A PROBLEM AND ITS NOT SAFETY TO DRIVE SPECIALLY IF GOT AN ACCIDENT!!!

TAKATA RECALL

THE VEHICLE WAS BACKING UP AND WHEN PUT IN DRIVE TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I WAS BRAKING AS HARD AS I COULD AND IT WENT OVER THE BLOCK CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND HITTING THE BUILDING CAUSING DAMAGE . THIS HAPPENED AFTER FILLING MY CAR UP WITH GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE CONTACT GLANCED AT THE CLOCK AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED WHIPLASH, BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

THE CAR MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN I START THE ENGINE. IT STOPS AFTER A FEW SECONDS.I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS GOOD.

THE SEATS IN MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD ARE CAUSING BACK PROBLEMS. I DROVE THE SATURN FOR 15 YEARS AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY SHOULDER OR MY LOWER BACK. THE PAIN IS GETTING SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO SIT ON TWO AND A HALF INCHES OF FOAM RUBBER AND PUT MY LEFT FOOT ON THE DASHBOARD TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE. I AM GOING TO BEGIN TREATMENT FOR THIS LOWER BACK PAIN WHICH NOW EXTENDS DOWN MY LEGS THE SEATS IN THIS CAR CAN BE COMPARED TO SITTING ON A WOODEN BENCH I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE I ONLY DROVE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT. AFTER DRIVING 80 MILES THE NEXT DAY I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW SORE MY BACK WAS AFTER GETTING OUT OF THIS CAR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND I COULD HAVE TRADED IT IN BUT OF COURSE ANY CAR AVAILABLE WOULD HAVE COST ME MORE MONEY THE PAIN DISCOMFORT IS NOT ONLY GOING TO COST ME MONEY FOR TREATMENT IT IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH MY LEFT FOOT EITHER UP ON THE SEAT OR ON THE DASHBOARD. IF I DON'T DO THIS THE PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK AND HIPS IT'S ALMOST INTOLERABLE - I BOUGHT THIS AS A USED CAR TWO YEARS AGO

ON 7/1/2017, I PURCHASED THE ABOVE VEHICLE WITH 12,000+ MILES FROM YONKERS HONDA @ 1980 CENTRAL PARK AVE, YONKERS, NY WITH THE PROVISO THAT THE TPMS LIGHT WHICH WAS ON WOULD BE CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO YONKERS HONDA SERVICE @ 500 YONKERS AVE., YONKERS, NY WHEREUPON A SENSOR WOULD BE REPLACED & THAT THIS ACTION TAKES 4 HOURS. I HAVE BEEN TO THE SERVICE STATION 3 TIMES - JULY 6, JULY 13 & JULY 25 & STILL THE PROBLEM IS UNRESOLVED. I AM BEGINNING TO WORRY THAT THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THIS FEATURE. 1ST HONDA SERVICE ORDERED THE WRONG PART, THEN THE "CORRECT" PART CAME LATE AND YESTERDAY, MY VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR SHOP FROM 7AM UNTIL 2PM AND STILL IT'S NOT RESOLVED. THIS DESERVES AN INVESTIGATION AS I FEAR MY TIRE/S BEING UNDERINFLATED OR WORSE OVERINFLATED AND NOT KNOWING SO. I FEEL THAT I WAS NOT TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE AND AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT THE LOW MILEAGE PERHAPS ATTRIBUTED TO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

HIGH PITCHED SOUND NOTICED WHILE DRIVING HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE SHORTLY AFTER CAR WAS PURCHASED (WE ARE 1ST OWNERS). DISCOVERED STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING. REPAIR SHOP RECOMMENDS NEW RACK AND PINION. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT SINCE CAR HAS SUCH LOW MILEAGE (ONLY 36,000 NOW AND WE'VE BEEN HAVING TO STEERING FLUID OFF FOR SOME TIME). VERY DISAPPOINTING.

FRONT DRIVERS WHEEL BEARING FAILED AT 74,000 MILES

THE CAR ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING ON OUR CITY STREET. ALSO WE ARE UNABLE TO PUSH DOWN THE BREAK. ( LUCKY NO ONE BEHIND US AND WE ARE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY) . WE HAD TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF POSITION AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THANK YOU

HARD TO STEAL AT FIRST . SPEED OF WINDSHIELD WIPER CHANGES AT WILL WHILE IN USE.

LEAKING IS OBSERVED AT RACK AND PINION.

THE FOAM COVERING THE METAL FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S BACK REST HAS EITHER SHIFTED OR IS SO THIN THAT IS HAS WORN THROUGH AND THAT ALLOWS DIRECT CONTACT BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S BACK AND THE METAL FRAME. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, I FEEL THAT THE DIRECT CONTACT OF THE METAL SEAT FRAME WILL RESULT IN INJURY OR INCREASED INJURY TO THE DRIVER.

RODENT CHEWED THROUGH SOY COVERED EVAP VENT SHUT VALVE WIRE, ABS AND VSA SENSOR WIRES. CAR WAS PARKED IN GARAGE AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON NEXT TIME CAR WAS DRIVEN.

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.

PERIODICALLY DURING ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO LOSE POWER OR HESITATE TO BEGIN WITH IT WAS BARELY NOTICEABLE NOW WHEN IT OCCURS IT'S VERY OBVIOUS AND NORMALLY TAKES THREE TO FIVE SECONDS TO RECOVER

I WAS IN A CRASH YESTERDAY 04/18/17 AT AROUND 4:55-5:00PM DUE TO MY BRAKES NOT REACTING AS THEY SHOULD AND STOPPING MY CAR. I REAR ENDED A CAR BECAUSE OF THIS AND MY FRONT OF MY CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE, BUT THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND NOTICED THAT MY SEATBELT HAD UNFASTENED AFTER THE INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND WAS IN TRAFFIC ON THE 405 SOUTHBOUND GETTING CLOSE TO THE 22 FWY EXIT BY SEAL BEACH. IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN CRUISING SPEED, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE OUTCOME, SEEING THAT THESE 3 RED FLAGS OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT'S SON CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A STOPPED VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT'S SON SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE CHEST AND BOTH LEGS, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
