MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ELECTRIC POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR RECALL AT SCHAMBURG HONDA,SCHAMBURG ILL FOR WHICH I WAITED ONE HOUR IN LINE AND NEVER GOT INTO SERVICE AREA. DEALER APPEARS TO PURPOSELY NOT WANT TO MAKE MANDATED REPAIR.,

BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER WORK.

31,000 MILES RACK & PINION IS LEAKING ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE AND YEAR OF THE CAR ITS A SAFETY ISSUE. LOOKS LIKE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE OUTLINED IN HONDA TSB 09-010, AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER THAT WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER CHANGED OUT THE VTC CONTROLLER. 63,000 MILES. NOT COVERED DUE TO OUT OF WARRANTY (5 YEARS/60,000 MILES). I ASKED IF THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR RECALL AND THE DEALER SAID NO. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE ACCORD AND CRV, YET HONDA FAILS TO ISSUE A RECALL.

I NOTICED MY STEERING WAS GETTING HARD TO TURN AROUND 42K MILES. AFTER CHANGED NEW TIRES AND DONE WHEEL BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT, THE SAME CONTINUED AND FELT THE PAIN IN MY HANDS EVERY TIME. I REQUESTED TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL AND THE HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT NO ISSUES. AS TIME CONTINUED THE STEERING PROBLEM GOT WORST. WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WAS NOT GOOD, ITS HARD TO SIMPLE TURN ALSO MY WIFE ALSO OBSERVED THE SAME AND TOLD ME THAT MANUAL POWER WHILE GETTING OUT OF PARKING SPACES, OR WHEN HAVING TO TURN WHILE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN DURING THE OIL CHANGE AND HE HAS TOLD ME THAT IT NEED TO BE REPLACED AND LITTLE BIT DIRTY AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY AFTER A WHILE. IT IS SAME AND NO PROGRESS, IT GOT WORST! ASKING THE DEALERSHIP FOR COST RELIEF FROM HONDA FOR REPAIR AND DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST THOUGH. *TR

TIRE INFLATION METER ARE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR SIMPLE FLAT REPAIRS. CONSUMER RIP OFF CAUSED BUT GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS REQUIRED TIRES TO HAVE PRESSURE SENSOR AND WARNING LIGHTS. EACH TIRE HAS AN EXPENSIVE $80 SENSOR THAT EASILY LEAKS OR GETS BUMPED BY MECHANICS. IT COST ME $200 TO STOP THE LEAKS AND WARNING LIGHTS. ON FIRST LOOK, SOUNDS LIKE A NICE IDEA BUT IN PRACTICE COMPANIES ARE RIPPING US OFF DOING SIMPLE NAIL FIXES. THE MECHANICS WEAKING, PURPOSELY LOOSEN THE VALUE AND SAY IT IS OUR CAR'S COMPUTER PROBLEM. PLEASE DO NOT REQUIRED CARS TO HAVE THESE MONITORS. THANKS FOR LISTENING. SOUNDS LIKE THE LOBBYIST ARE CREATING MONEY GRABS. REGARDS JOHN

THE VEHICLE CONSUME TOO MUCH OIL. OIL CHANGED ON 10/22/2016 AND TODAY 10/26/2016 THE VEHICLE SHOWS 10% ALREADY CONSUMED. THE VEHICLE IS FOR PERSONAL USE, IS DRIVEN ABOUT 6 MILES A DAY.

WHEN TRANSITIONING FROM BRAKING BACK TO ACCELERATING THERE IS SOMETIMES A SIGNIFICANT LAG IN THE CAR RESPONDING WHICH MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE LAG IS INCONSISTENT SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL AND SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE A FEW SECONDS. I BELIEVE HONDA HAS A PROBLEM IN THE SOFTWARE THAT CONTROLS THE RESPONSE TIME FROM BRAKING TO ACCELERATING. THE CAR IS USUALLY SLOWING TO A VERY SLOW SPEED OR STOPPING AND THEN IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE PER WEEK, SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FROM NEW, BUT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WON'T RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND WON'T TRY TO FIX IT.

ALL THE GLASS ON THE CAR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WINDSHIELD SUFFERS FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A STREAKY FINISH TO THE GLASS THAT WHEN WET AND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S DAMP AND DARK OUTSIDE DANGEROUSLY OBSCURE THE VISION FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. MANY TYPES OF GLASS CLEANER HAVE BEEN TRIED WITHOUT SUCCESS AND HONDA ONLY SUGGESTED USING GLASS CLEANERS. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE GLASS ITSELF AND NO AMOUNT OF CLEANING WILL GET RID OF THIS. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION PARTICULARLY DRIVING IN THE WINTER AFTER SUNSET. IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR FROM NEW. THE TWO DOOR MIRRORS ARE ALSO AFFECTED. *TR

ALLSTATE CLAIM NUMBER: 0419487707 EDWARD DUGAN ALLSTATE AGENCY 1-630-351-9222 MY CAR DAMAGE DUE TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE ACCIDENT HAPPED 7/1/16 AT BETWEEN 12/30 AND 1PM. WHEN IT HAPPENED, I DID NOT HAVE BRAKING ON THE BRAKE PETAL OR POWER STEERING. I DID A HALF CIRCLE IN MY YARD TO AVOID HITTING THE HOUSE OR GARAGE. IT HAPPENED FROM A STOP IN THE CULL-DE-SAC. IT LEFT ACCELERATION TIRE STRIPES WHERE IT STARTED IN THE CULL-DE-SAC. IN THE DRIVEWAY IT MARKED WHERE I TURNED. I TRIED TO AVOID THE GARAGE AND THEN THE HOUSE BY MAKING A SEMI CIRCLE IN THE YARD. I CLIPPED THE CONCRETE STEPS AT THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. RAN OVER 2 SECTIONS OF A 4 FT. FENCE IN OUR YARD. HITTING THE CONCRETE STEPS SLOWED THE CAR SO AFTER THE FENCE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STOPPED THE CAR. THE CAR FIX WAS OVER $5000, AND WE HAD A $150 DEDUCTIBLE . SORRY ALLSTATE. CAR FIX AT SERVICE KING 5TH AVE. IN NAPERVILLE, IL

FAULTY VTC ACTUATOR. THOUSANDS OF 2.4 LITER ENGINES HAVE THIS PROBLEM.MAKE HONDA ISSUE A RECALL.

I HAVE THE HONDA ACCORD SE 2012. LAST TIME I TOOK IT FOR A OIL CHANGE AND WHERE THEY ALSO PERFORM A CHECK IN HONDA AUSTIN,TEXAS WHEN IT WAS ONLY 36 K MILES DONE. THEY NOTIFIED POWER STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING BUT IT IS GOOD TO GO. NOTHING MAJOR. I HAVE OBSERVED THE STEERING HAS BECOME VERY HARD RECENTLY AND MAKES A LOT OF NOISE WHILE AT LOW SPEED. I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE IN GERMAIN HONDA ON SAWMILL ROAD IN COLUMBUS. THEY INSPECTED AND TOLD ME IT WILL COST ME 1700 BUCKS. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINS ON THE WEB FOR THE SAME. THEY STILL DENIED IT. A 2012 MODEL VEHILCE WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT IF IT NEEDS 2000 DOLLAR SERVICING AND PART CHANGE IT IS VERY HARSH. I HAVE NEVER IMAGINED HONDA ACCORD CAN GIVE YOU SUCH PROBLEMS. I WILL TRY TO REACH OUT TO HONDA INCASE THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE PART.

MY TPMS SENSORS IS CONSTANTLY COMING ON AND OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO A CLOSEST DEALER FROM MY WORK. DEALER WAS ABLE TO VERIFY MY COMPLAIN AND CHANGED 3 SENSORS OUT OF 4. I TOOK A LONG TRIP APPX. 2000 MILES. AND STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SAME ISSUES. SENSOR HAS STARTED TO COME OFF AND ON AGAIN. SO I SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH MY HONDA DEALER FROM WHOM I GOT THE CAR. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO VERIFY COMPLAIN. SO RIGHT NOW I'M FRUSTRATED. I USED MY TIME TO TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALER AND SINCE IT'S THE ONLY CAR IN MY HOUSEHOLD I SPENT MONEY FOR TRANSPORTATION. I DRIVE 30 MILES TO WORK EVERY DAY AND STILL EXPERIENCE SAME ISSUES WITH TPMS SENSOR IT'S COMING ON AND OFF EVERY TIME I DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE ENGINE REVVED AND RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY. THE ENGINE SEIZED FOR A MOMENT.

TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD OIL LEVEL PRESSURE SWITCH IS BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED( MTC P3400),IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER 5YR 60K MILES POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IT WAS QUOTED >$300 TO FIX THE CAR. THE CAR HAS 59K MILES ON. I DIDNT WANT TO PAY FOR THE FIX, PAID THE $115 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, BOUGHT THE $40 NEW PRESSURE SWITCH AND REPLACED IT MYSELF. HOW CAN A OIL LEVEL PRESSURE SWITCH NOT COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY? IT HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE.

THE TIRE PRESSURE MS LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON. EVEN AFTER WE PUT AIR IN THE TIRES. IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE BECAUSE WE HAVE NO IDEA IF IT'S REALLY LOW ON PRESSURE OR IF IT'S JUST DEFECTIVE.

VTC ACTUATOR GRINDING NOISE - IN THE SPRING OF 2015 I STARTED TO NOTICE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED IN THE MORNING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HONDA OF BOWIE (BOWIE, MARYLAND) ON MAY 23, 2015, AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE VTC ACTUATOR AND THAT HONDA HAD THE CONCERN UNDER INVESTIGATION, AND THAT HONDA WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THEY ALSO SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WITH ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY YEAR SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR IN, AND HONDA HAS NOT CONTACTED ME AND THE GRINDING NOISE NOW OCCURS NOT ONLY EVERY MORNING BUT NOW EVERY TIME THE CAR SITS FOR A COUPLE HOURS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE LONG TERM RELIABILITY OF THIS CAR AND ASSOCIATED FUTURE REPAIR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE.

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT OIL SEAL WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. IT WAS SPRAYING BRAKE FLUID UNDERNEATH MY DRIVERS DOOR WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. SEAL WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BY THE HONDA DEALER.

HONDA ACCORD 2012 MODEL TRUNK SPRING BROKEN LEADING TRUNK FREE FALLING CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HUMAN BODY DAMAGE OR POTENTIAL FATAL ISSUE IF KID OR TEENAGER IS INVOLVED. WHAT HAPPENED ON MY 2012 ACCORD (LESS THAN 4 YR AND ABOUT 51K MIL) IS ONE OF TWO TRUNK SPRING IS BROKEN AT END. I BELIEVE IT IS SERIOUS QUALITY ISSUE BASED ON MY OBSERVATION DUE TO MATERIAL FATIGUE. I GOT HIT ON MY HEAD AFTER OPENING THE TRUNK BUT NOT AWARE OF TRUNK FREE FALLING DUE TO SPRING BROKEN WHEN I WAS MOVING STUFF IN THE TRUNK. AS ADULT, I STAND TALL SO THE TRAVEL DISTANCE OF FALLING TRUNK ABOVE MY HEAD IS SHORT HOWEVER I STILL FEEL THE PAIN NOW. NO BLEEDING BUT BRUISE FOR SURE. IMAGINE IF KID OR TEENAGER IS INVOLVED, THE DAMAGE TO HUMAN BODY CAN BE SERIOUS AND EVEN FATAL. I DID TEST MYSELF BY PUTTING KID HELMET AND PLASTIC BOTTLE THERE. THE HELMET SURFACE HAS DENT AND CUT FOR SURE AFTER TRUNK FREE FALLING. THE BOTTLE IS TOTALLY SMASHED BY FREE FALLING TRUNK. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND REALIZED THAT THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON OUR CAR COULD BE 1ST ONE HAPPENED ON THIS STILL KINDE OF NEW 2012 ACCORD. I AM AFRAID IT WILL START SHOWING UP AND THE IMPACT DEFINITELY CAN BE SERIOUS HUMAN BODY DAMAGE EVEN FATAL DEPENDING ON WHO IS INVOLVED AND PEOPLE MAY NOT BE AWARE OF TRUNK SPRING BROKEN WITH BODY (HEAD, ARM, HAND...) UNDERNEATH FREE FALLING TRUNK. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND RELATED GOVERNMENT RELATED INSTITUTION AND HONDA TO INVESTIGATE SERIOUSLY. IF IT HAS TO BE RECALL, IT HAS TO BE QUICK. IT (HIT BY FALLING TRUNK) ALREADY

THREE DAYS AGO, MY AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWED UP ON MY CAR'S DASHBOARD, ALTHOUGH IT WENT OFF AFTER SWITCHING THE IGNITION OFF WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION. IT SHOULD UP AGAIN THE EVENING OF THE NEXT DAY. THIS CONCERN ME . HAS THERE BEEN A POSSIBLE OVERSIGHT ON THE RECALL OF AIRBAGS ON MY CAR.

MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 88,000 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS STARTING TO SCREAM. IS THERE A POSSIBLE RECALL ON THIS ITEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

OPERATING ON THE HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE HAD A LOSS OF POWER. THIS LOSS OF POWER HAPPENED WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO FAST MOVING TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER AS THE MERGE BEGAN AND CAUSED VEHICLES OPERATING FROM BEHIND TO DRASTICALLY SLOW DOWN OR PULL INTO LEFT HAND LANE ALSO, WAS UNABLE TO SAFELY TRAVEL IN THE SLOW VEHICLE LANE BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER. EVIDENTLY, DEALERSHIP REPORTED SEVERAL CYLINDERS HAD OIL FOWLING ON THE SPARK PLUG. THE ENGINE WAS TAKEN APART AND CYLINDERS 1,3,5 RINGS WERE REPLACED.

DRIVERS SEAT FELT LIKE METAL WAS PUSHING THROUGH IT, CAUSING DISCOMFORT WHEN I SAT; WORSE WHEN GETTING IN/OUT OF THE CAR. I DID NOT OWN CAR 3 YEARS BUT MILEAGE PAST WARRANTY. HONDA SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE SEAT AS A "GOODWILL GESTURE". REPIAIR DONE BY HONDA DEALER, MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. I CALLED IMMEDIATELY. ALTHOUGH THE ESTIMATE I RECEIVED TO FIX THE SEAT INCLUDED REPLACING THE ENTIRE CUSHION AND COVER, WHEN THE DEALER DID IT THEY SAID THEY HAD ONLY REPLACED THE COVER. I HAD TO BRING IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE CUSHION; PROBLEM WAS WORSE. SOMETHING PRESSES UP THROUGH THE SEAT AND SOMETHING IS DIGGING INTO MY BACK. I BROUGHT IT BACK, DEALER SAID THEY DON'T FEEL THE PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA, THEY SAID BRING IT BACK WHEN REGIONAL MANAGER WAS THERE. BROUGHT BACK SO REGIONAL MANAGER COULD LOOK AT IT, HE SAID HE DOESN'T FEEL THE PROBLEM. THEY ALL TELL ME THAT THAT IS HOW THE SEATS ARE MADE. THE SEAT FEELS LIKE THERE IS METAL PRESSING UP INTO ME AND WHEN I TURN TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE CAR IT IS WORSE. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE BACK PART OF THE SEAT BECAUSE IT DIGS INTO MY BACK. I AM NOT A NEW HONDA OWNER AND THESE ARE NOT TYPICAL. TO GET RELIEF WHILE TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED, I GOT A KITCHEN CHAIR CUSHION AND FOLDED IT SO 1/2 IS ON THE BACK AND 1/2 IS ON THE SEAT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING TO USE THE CUSHION I NOTICED THAT AN ONGOING PAIN I WAS HAVING IN MY HIP AND LEGS DISAPPEARED AND WHEN I DROVE LONG DISTANCE MY LEGS DID NOT ACHE. IT IS EASY TO ASSUME ACHES AND PAI

FROZEN DRIVER SIDE REAR CALIPER.

I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM 10 MONTHS AGO AND HAD IT REPAIRED. THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE IT IS A VERY SLOW LEAK I AM ESTIMATING THE PROBLEM EXISTED WELL BEFORE I DISCOVERED IT. I AM CONFIDENT I GOT A BAD POWER STEERING RACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. HEY EXPERIENCED WHINING SOUNDS GOING AROUND TURNS ESPECIALLY ROUNDABOUTS. I'M CONVINCED THIS IS A FAULTY PARTS BECAUSE HONDA POWER STEERING RACK STEVE NOT GO BAD AT 45 TO 50,000 MILES. HONDAS CORPORATE CUSTOMER RESPONSE ABOUT THE SITUATION HAS BEEN LACKLUSTER TO SAY THE LEAST. DEALER IS BETTER TO DEAL WITH. THIS IS THE FIFTH HONDA I HAVE OWNED OR DRIVEN VIA A FAMILY MEMBER. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM THIS IS A MANUFACTURING SAFETY PROBLEM.

THE TEMPERED GLASS SUNROOF EXPLODED UPWARDS, LEAVING SHARDS OF GLASS IN A PATTERN LIKE A CROWN. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 60 DEGREES, I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON A LONELY STRETCH OF TWO-LANE ROAD WITH NO OTHER CARS OR PEOPLE AROUND ME. THE SOUND WAS LIKE A TIRE BLOWOUT. THE CAR IS HOUSED IN A GARAGE AND HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT. THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER SAID SOMETHING HAD TO HAVE HIT IT, BUT HE IS WRONG. NOTHING HIT IT.

I'M ON MY 4TH SET OF REAR BRAKES AT 70K MILES. THE FRONT ARE ORIGINAL. AND THIS WEEK, MY DRIVER REAR WHEEL WAS VERY HOT TO THE POINT OF A VERY STRONG ODOR. MECHANIC TORE REAR BRAKES PARTS APART AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG.

MAKES A NOISE NOW WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. ROTORS AND PADS NORMALLY LAST 60000 MILES. WHAT IS UP WITH THE 2012 ACCORD. ANY RECALLS ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM?

THE FRONT SEATING IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT IS CAUSES BACK AND NECK PAIN, AND I FEAR IF THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE HEAD REST, WHICH IS POINTED SO FAR FORWARD AS TO CAUSE NECK PAIN IF THE PERSON USES THE SEAT IN A STRAIGHTER POSITION. THE LUMBAR SUPPORT CAUSES ME BACK PAIN BECAUSE I CANNOT ADJUST IT OUT. IT HITS ME IN A BAD PLACE IN THE BACK AND CAUSES BACK PAIN. I AM AN AVERAGE HEIGHT MALE (5'11").
