TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000. ......UPDATED 12/17/15 *BF UPDATED 10/19/2017*CN

THE STEERING WHEEL WAS UNABLE TO TURN WHEN BACKING UP FOR PARALLEL PARKING AFTER A FEW TIMES, WHEN PRACTICING RIGHT BEFORE MY DAUGHTER'S DRIVING TEST. THEN I TRIED MYSELF A COUPLE TIME WITHOUT LUCK THAT I HAD TO PULL IT OFF. I WAS UNABLE TO TELL ANYTHING WAS WRONG SINCE THERE ARE NO ANY ERROR LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT WHILE DRIVING FORWARD, THOUGH. AFTER BEING PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT FOR SOME TIME, IT BEGAN TO WORK OK AGAIN, AND IT DID NOT FAIL MY DAUGHTER'S DRIVING TEST - A GOOD THING. IT REALLY RAISED A BIG CONCERN FOR ME THAT A HIDDEN ISSUE OF THE STEERING WHEEL FAILURE EXISTS WITH MY CAR. I REALLY NEED HONDA TO RECALL IT AND FIX IT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE WITH HORRIBLE CONSEQUENCES. YOUR HELP WITH THIS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I HAD PARKED THE CAR IN A PARKING SPACE AT DOLLYWOOD IN PIGEON FORGE, TENNESSEE. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT AND STARTED THE CAR THE LIGHT FOR THE STEERING SYSTEM CAME ON AND I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL BUT STARTING AND RESTARTING THE CAR DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HAD THIS OCCURRED AT SPEED I COULD NOT HAVE CONTROLLED THE CAR . I CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY HAD A TOW TRUCK SENT OUT TO GET THE CAR. THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY IS GOING TO TAKE THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP MONDAY JUNE 1ST SO I WILL NOT KNOW ANY MORE TILL THAN. I DO SEE ON THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. I DO NOT KNOW IF I SHOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS TILL AFTER THE DEALER CHECKS THE CAR OR NOT BUT AFTER SEEING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I WANTED TO REPORT IT IF SIMILAR PROBLEMS REOCCUR.

AIR BAG RECALL ?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED MULTIPLE TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,600.

MY VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME FROM BEHIND. AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON YET DID NOT DEPLOY. IMPACT CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY CHEST BY THE SEATBELT. IT CAUSED A TISSUE EXPANDER IMPLANTED IN MY RIGHT BREAST TO BE DAMAGED AND RIPPED OUT THE PLACES STITCHED TO ME. THE TE WAS THERE AS PART OF A BREAST CANCER RECONSTRUCTION PROCESS. SURGERY WAS REQUIRED TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE TE. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED, SENSORS NEEDED REPLACEMENT, AND SEATBELT STRUCTURE ALSO NEEDED REPLACEMENT.

DURING THREE HOUR NIGHT DRIVE THE DASH DISPLAY DIMMED TO BLACK AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. AFTER AN HOUR OR SO THE PANEL LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THEY WENT OUT AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY DURING THE RETURN DRIVE IN DAYLIGHT PANEL SEEMED NORMAL.

STARTED CAR, PUT IN REVERSE AND COULD NOT TURN STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. COULD ONLY STEER STRAIGHT. INFORMATION DISPLAY ISSUED THIS WARNING: POWER STEERING SYSTEM PROBLEM (EPS). TRIED THE WHAT TO DO WHEN THE INDICATOR MESSAGE COMES ON IN THE OWNERS MANUEL SEVERAL TIMES. DIDN'T WORK, CAR IS SITTING DISABLED IN DRIVEWAY. NOW IT IS UP TO US TO HAVE IT TOWED TO LOCAL DEALSHIP TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR ACCORDING TO HONDA MOTORS.

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATLEY 45 MILES PER HOUR, MY STREEING WHEEL BECAME VERY STIFF AND THEN COMPLETELY LOCKED. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

AC WAS BLOWING COLD AIR, TOOK THE CAR TO MIDDLETOWN HONDA IN MIDDLETOWN NY WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD THE AC CONDENSER IS DAMAGED DUE TO ROAD DEBRIS AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $650.00

I GOT OFF WORK AND THE HORN WAS HONKING. IT HAD BEEN HONKING SO LONG THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AND THEN WHEN SOMEONE JUMP STARTED IT AND I STARTED TO DRIVE OFF, IT HONKED SOME MORE. A FEW MINUTES LATER ENTERING THE FREEWAY IT STARTED HONKING ONCE AGAIN! EACH TIME THE HONKING STOPPED WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL. 3 TIMES IN ONE MORNING IT HONKED AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I TURNED THE WHEEL. SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE THE HONKING COMES AND GOES ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS. BUT THIS LATEST INCIDENT HAS BEEN THE WORST BY FAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE FELLA BEHIND ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM..HE CALLED IT RANDOM HONKING. *TR

MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE PARKED IN AN PLAZA ON PEMBROKE ROAD AT THE BEGINNING ON MARCH 2015. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN X 2 WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED (ENGINE RUNNING) ON SEPARATE DAYS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ALONG PINES BOULEVARD IN PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC (TUESDAY APRIL 21ST 2015), AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION OF HIATUS ROAD AND PINES BOULEVARD, I STARTED SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT. THE VEHICLE THEN SHUT DOWN/STALLED AGAIN. THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A RED LIGHT HELPED TO PREVENT AND ACCIDENT, AS EVERYONE DRIVING IN THE SAME DIRECTION HAD TO STOP. THIS TIME I HAD TO CALL FOR A POLICE CRUISER TO STAND IN PLACE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET A TOW OR GET IT STARTED AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AGAIN AND MADE IT HOME. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 22, 2015. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY (4-23-2015), FUEL PUMP (4-24-2015) THEY SAID THAT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS AND IS NOW GETTING MORE FREQUENT. THEY (AUTONATION HONDA IN MIAMI LAKES) HAVE BEEN TRYING TO 'FIX' THE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET SUCCEEDED. TODAY IS MAY 3RD 2015 I AM ASKING THAT THE NTSB LOOKS INTO THIS ISSUE, AS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS IN PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC, THIS ISSUE CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.. I ALSO CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE MESSAGE "CHECK FUEL CAP" WAS DISPLAYED. *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY STEERING HAS GONE OUT. 1ST TIME WAS ON APRIL 4 2015 GOING APPROX. 20 MILES PER HOUR, WAS ABOUT TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE OF WHAT HAPPEN BUT STEERING GOT EXTREMELY HARD. HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF, PULL OUT THE MANUAL AND SEE WHAT THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH MEANT. THEN ON APRIL 24 2015, GOING APPROX. 75 MILES PER HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE IT WENT OUT AGAIN. COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK DRIVING HOME. AFTER THIS SECOND INCIDENT IS WHEN I DECIDED TO RESEARCH AND SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND WOW THERE ARE SEVERAL. ITS A SHAME THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL BY NOW. I AM MORE APPALLED BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BROUGHT THEIR VEHICLES IN AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE PEOPLE THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING GETS DONE. WILL PEOPLE NEED TO BE KILLED LIKE THE OTHERS CAR ISSUES BEFORE THIS IS RESOLVED? MY CAR JUST TURNED TO 20,000 MILES. I SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES. MY CAR IS GOING IN ON MONDAY FOR SERVICE. LETS SEE HOW THIS IS HANDLED. *TR

WENT TO WEDDING 125,MILES AWAY, AT THE RECEPTION NOTICED MY CELL PHONE CHARGER LAYING IN THE SEAT" BERRIED HAFT WAY IN THE LEATHER SEAT BURNT A HOLE IN THE SEAT. WIFE NOT HAPPY HER CAR.

I CHECK IN TO THE COST OF HAVING THIS SEAT REPAIRED, THE COST WAS SMALL BUT SIGNIFICANT. I WAITED TO SEE F THERE WHERE GOING TO ANY MORE OCCURRENCES BE FOR TAKING THE VEHICLE PASSENGER SEAT TO BE REPAIRED, YES THERE WAS A THIRD INCIDENT. MY WIFE AND I WHERE RETURNING FROM A FUNERAL ON 4/21/2015 WHEN THE REAR VIEW CAMERA FROZE ON THE WINDOW SCREEN KEEPING FROM VIEWING ANY IN MY BLIND SPOT OR TO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. I DROVE FROM THE CEMETERY TO ROCK HONDA WITH THE PROBLEM STILL SHOWING ON MY DASH. THE WAIT WAS LONG AT THE DEALER, BUT BE FOR I TURNED OFF THE CAR I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE OF THE DASH BOARD SHOEING IT WAS FROZEN. I RECEIVED @ 12:22 4/22/2015 TELLING ME THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE REAR VIEW CAMERA BUT NOT GOING TO DO ANY THING FOR THE CHARGER OR THE BURN /HOLE IN THE SEAT. THERE WORDS WHERE: I MUST NOT HAVE PUSHED THE CHARGER ALL THE WAY,THUS CAUSING THE CHARGER TO GET HOT" SCREEN GOING DARK-2 CHARGER

WHILE EXITING OFF AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING TIGHTENED UP MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MAKE TURNS ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. I ARRIVED TO MY DESTINATION NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. I SEARCHED FOR OTHER SIMILAR FAILURES ON THE INTERNET AND NOTICED MANY MORE INCIDENTS, HENCE THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

CAR WAS DESCENDING DOWN A HILL, I HEARD A LOUD METALLIC CLUNK AND THE CAR INSTANTLY ROTATED LEFT THROWING IT ACROSS THE ONCOMING LANE AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT THROUGH SOME TREES, CAR STOPPED IN MUD. MECHANIC FROM BODY SHOP THAT TOWED THE CAR SAID THE ENGINE STARTED FINE BUT THE CAR MADE A GRINDING SOUND WHEN HE TRIED FORWARD AND REVERSE, NEITHER WORKED. CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO BODY DAMAGE. CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT HONDA WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE, REPAIR OR PAY ANY DAMAGES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000. UPDATED 5/4/15*CN

I WAS DRIVING ON I 75 NORTH NEAR MIRAMAR EXIT AND I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL HARD, THEN I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD AND THE ESP LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS ABLE TO REDUCE SPEED AND USE ALL MY STRENGTH TO GO THE THE SIDE ISLE. TURNED OFF THE CAR AND ON AGAIN AND THE ESP LIGHT WAS NOT THERE ANYMORE. I GOT BACK MY EXIT WAS LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. I EXITED ON MIRAMAR PKWY EAST AND THE ESP LIGHT CAME BACK AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT I COULDN'T TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. I WAITED TURNED ON AND STILL HAD THE PROBLEM. WAITED AGAIN AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. I CALLED TRIPLE A AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER AND THEY SHOWED WHAT HAPPENED IN THEIR COMPUTER BUT IT IS NOT HAPPENING TO THE SERVICE TECHS NOW THEY ARE KEEPING THE CAR BUT I SUSPECT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING AND I AM REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW. I WAS LUCKY DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT NOT SURE IF I WILL NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SMEARED IN THE LINE OF VISION ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN IT RAINED, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WOULD PUT THE WATER BACK INTO THE LINE OF VISION ON THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD AFFECTING THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY.

UPDATED 5/11/15*CN UPDATED 9/29/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR COMING TO A STOP, THE LIGHTING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD DIM AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. UPON PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS. WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO TURN A CORNER, OR SLOW DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT, GOING AT A SLOW SPEED FROM APPROX. 15 MPH TO 25 MPH, THE CAR APPEARS TO STALL. AS IF THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED. WHEN I PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING HAPPENS. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, THEN PUSH DOWN AGAIN, THE CAR SURGES AHEAD. I HAVE CALLED THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE TECH ALWAYS SAYS THAT THEY CHECKED IT AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I AM AFRAID THAT ON ONE OF THOSE TIMES THAT THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER THAT I WILL BE TAILGATED IF THERE IS SOMEONE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. I AM ALSO AFRAID THAT ONE OF THE TIMES I AGAIN PUT PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL THAT THE CAR MAY SURGE AHEAD TOO FAST AND I MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SANE EXPERIENCE. *TR

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT SUDDENLY FAIL. TWO OF WHICH OCCURRED AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR, WHILE MAKING A LEFT/RIGHT TURNS. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT 45 MILES PER HOUR, A POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE FLASHED AS THE FAILURE OCCURRED. HOWEVER ON THE THIRD RECURRENCE I TRIED THE SAME THE ACT WITHOUT A CORRECTION. I THEN REALIZED THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND HAD IT TOW TO THE DEALER. I ALSO NOTIFIED HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA ON 3-18-15 AT 3:15 HRS. *TR

TRUNK OPENS ON IT OWN. HAVE TALKED TO OTHER ACCORD SPORT OWNERS WHO HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MY 2ND ACCORD SPORT PURCHASE AND IT ALSO DOES THE SAMETHING. VERY UPSET, I LEAVE VALUABLES IN THE TRUNK LOCKED AND I WILL COME BACK TO THE CAR WITH THE TRUNK OPEN AT RANDOM TIMES. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO CONTACT TIRES, SIZE 195/65R15. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE THREAD SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL AND A BLACK POWDER SUBSTANCE EMITTED. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,500.

I WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE POWER STEERING QUIT WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. TEN MINUTES LATER THE POWER STEERING QUIT WHILE I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IN BOTH CASES THE STEERING RE-SET ITSELF AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN STARTING IT BACK UP. *TR

THE HEADREST OF THIS VEHICLE IS SO POORLY DESIGNED THAT AFTER AN HOUR OF SO OF HIGHWAY DRIVING MY NECK AND SHOULDERS BECAME STIFF AND UNCOMFORTABLE. THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO REMOVE THE HEADREST. I FELT THIS WAS A SAFETY HAZARD, SO I REINSTALLED THE HEADREST. SHORTLY THEREAFTER MY NECK AND SHOULDER STIFFNESS RETURNED. *TR

FOR OVER A WEEK MY 2013 HONDA SPORT HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING. I WAS THINKING THIS WAS DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER AND IN SPEAKING WITH MY COUSIN WHO HAS SAME VEHICLE HE SAID HIS DID THE SAME AND IT WAS THE NEW TECHNOLOGY WITH THE CVT. SO I FELT OK UNTIL WEDNESDAY JANUARY 14TH I WENT TO LEAVE WORK AND MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I HAD 2 PEOPLE TRY AND JUMP ME NOTHING. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO BROWN'S HONDA IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. THE NEXT DAY I GOT A CALL SAYING THAT MY STARTER HAD GONE AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $879 TO REPLACE IT. THE PART ALONE WAS $430 GIVE OR TAKE. I DID NOT HAVE THAT KINDA OF MONEY FOR I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN AND THE GUY FOUND USED PART OF A 2013 HONDA THAT HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. TOOK HIM ALL OF AN HOUR TO PUT IT ON. CHARGED $50 FOR LABOR AND PART WAS HAVE THE PRICE. HE SHOWED ME THAT PART THAT HE RETURNED TO ME AND SAID IT WAS DEFECTED. HE EVEN WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA ON MY BEHALF AS WELL. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS MY CAR HAS YET TO EVEN SEE IT'S 3RD BIRTHDAY! ALSO MY BACKUP CAMERA TENDS TO GO OUT AS WELL. LIKE WHEN A TV MESSES UP AND GETS STATIC. *TR

2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT HAS HAD ITS TRUNK OPEN BY ITSELF ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE TRUNK HAS NEVER OPENED ON IT OWN WHILE IN MOTION BUT WHEN IT IS PARKED. IT IS ONLY DISCOVERED WHEN I WALK BACK TO THE CAR AND SEE THE TRUNK CRACKED OPEN. THIS IS A SECURITY/SAFETY BREACH IN MY CASE AS I SOMETIMES WILL KEEP FIREARMS IN THE SECURITY OF THE TRUNK LEADING TO THE POTENTIAL OF STOLEN FIREARMS FROM AN OPEN TRUNK. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 3 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR. *TR

2013 HONDA ACCORD: I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH AND SUDDENLY I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL GET STIFF AND IMMEDIATELY THE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATING MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM HAD AN ISSUE. I SLOWED DOWN PROMPTLY IN THE ROAD (NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME) AND IT TOOK ALL I HAD TO TURN THE WHEEL TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A MOMENT JUST AS THE HONDA MANUAL INSTRUCTED AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, NOTHING HAD CHANGED, STILL LIGHT ON THE DASH AND NO POSSIBLE WAY OF ME TURNING THAT WHEEL. I CALLED AAA AND THE DRIVER OF AAA CAN VOUCH FOR THIS BECAUSE IT WAS STILL IN THE SAME CONDITION WHEN HE PICKED IT UP. THIS WAS WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 23 THAT IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ON FRIDAY MORNING, AFTER DEALER WAS CLOSED CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY, THEY CALLED ME SAYING NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CARI SAID REALLY!!! I EXPLAINED TO THEM AGAIN AND THEY RAN A TEST AND IT SAID IT NEEDED SOFTWARE UPDATES AND/OR ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RACK. BUT HONDA REQUIRES THE UPDATES TO BE INSTALLED FIRST AND THERE IS A CHARGE FOR THAT ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. SO I SAID DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. (WHICH I THINK IS ABSURD, MICROSOFT DOESN'T CHARGE ME MONEY FOR UPDATES) WITH IT BEING OVER THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY, I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY FOR HONDA TO BE CONTACTED (PER DEALERSHIP HONDA WAS CLOSED) SO I WENT 6 DAYS WITH NO CAR. MONDAY CAME AROUND AND HONDA APPROVED THE DEALERSHIP TO DO DIAGNOSTIC TESTING ON THE CAR AND WITH THE SAFETY CONCERN THEY WEN

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT I LOST POWER STEERING. AFTER PULLING OFF ROAD I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE STEERING RE-SET ITSELF. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 11 PM AND THE SUNROOF GLASS JUST EXPLODED. NOTHING HIT THE CAR AND LUCKILY THE VISOR WAS CLOSED OR I WOULD HAVE CRASHED. THIS IS A HAZARD AND HAS HAPPENED IN OTHER HONDA ACCORDS. THE DEALER OFFERED NO RECOURSE. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THIS 2013 SINCE PURCHASE. BROUGHT IT IN TO MIKE SMITH HONDA ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS FOR PROBLEMS SUCH, AS THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT TIMES, THE BRAKES SOMETHING IS WRONG (MAKES A NOISE) CAR HAS A SUCTION TO IT,BARELY ACCELERATES WHEN LEAVING A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, ONE TIME IT ACCELERATED TO MUCH AND I LIKE TO HIT THE WALL OF MY GARAGE. FCW LIGHTS SOMES ON SOME TIME FOR NOTHING,, NOISE FROM BEHIND AND UNDER THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING UP AND ABOUT TO PUT IN PARK. AND SOME TIMES WHEN BACKING UP. THE FCW DEFAULTS. OVERALL THIS IS NOT A GOOD RUNNING OR PERFORMANCE CAR. EVERYTIME YOU BRING IT TO THE SHOP THE SERVICEMEN SAID I SORRY BUT THAT IS NORMAL WHEN THEY CAN NOT FIX OR KNOW HOW TO FIX SOMETHING IT IS EASY FOR THEM TO SAY I SORRY THAT IS NORMAL OR YOU GOT TO BRING IT TO THE SHOP WHEN IT IS ACTING UP AT THE TIME. I TOLD THEM THAT IS HARD TO DO IT MAY NOT BE DOING IT WHEN IT IS THERE AT THAT TIME. BUT I THOUGHT THAT WHAT THE MACHINES WERE FOR TO FIND THE PROBLEMS. THE APPEARANCE IS GOOD BUT THE PERFORMANCE IS BAD. HAD THE CAR SEAL FOR BUGS PAID OVER 700.00 THEY DID NOT DO A GOOD JOB OR DID NOT DO WHAT THEY WERE PAID FOR AT ALL. BUGS ARE HARD TO COME OFF OF THE VEHICLE.MAY BE OTHER PROBLEMS BUT THIS IS A FEW THAT COMES TO MIND AT THIS TIME. THE BIGGEST THING IS THE BRAKES AND THE ACCELERATION AND SUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY HUSBAND FELL ASLEEP DRIVING AND HIT A TREE, MAILBOX AND WENT INTO A DITCH HEAD ON. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL.. ....UPDATED 01/23/15 *BF

05/25/14 WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY I NOTICED THE A THUMPING SOUND AND A JERKING FROM THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED GREAT ALARM FROM ME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THE KEPT IT FOR ABOUT A DAY AND TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THAT THE INSPECTOR SAID THAT THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING TO A NEW VEHICLE, THAT THE NOISE AND JERKING WAS JUST THE WAY IT WAS. THEY CALLED IT A HARD SHIFT. MY CAR IS NOT A DAILY DRIVEN VEHICLE BEING I HAVE TWO OTHER CARS THAT I PRIMARILY USE. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT MY CAR HAD APROX. 303 MILES ON IT. NOW SEVERAL MONTHS LATER ON 01/01/15 WHEN I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND BEING THAT I HAD ALREADY TAKEN IT ONCE TO THE DEALER AND THEM TELLING ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT, I HAD NO SECOND THOUGHT OF TAKING IT OUT ON THE ROAD. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE DOWN MY RESIDENTIAL STREET AND REALIZED I HAD FORGOT SOMETHING AT HOME. SO ON THE RESIDENTIAL INTERSECTION I STARTED TO MAKE A U TURN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STEERING CUT OUT ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN. I NARROWLY MISSED ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND STOPPED RIGHT BEFORE I HIT THE CURB AND A PARKED CAR. WHEN I DID STOP AND GOT MY COMPOSURE BACK I LOOKED DOWN AND THERE WAS A STEERING WHEEL LIGHT ON AND A BUZZING NOISE. ALL THIS WHILE GOING NO MORE THEN 6 MILES AND HOUR. AT THIS CURRENT MOMENT MY CAR IS LESS THEN 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THEN 400 MILES ON IT AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD HA

OIL OR FLUID LEAK BETWEEN TRANSMISSION TO ENGINE MATING SURFACE. *JS

I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OVER THE STEERING OF THE CAR. IT BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND ALMOST RAN INTO ANOTHER CAR. WAS ABLE TO FORCEFULLY TURN THE WHEEL WITH ALL MY MIGHT. PULLED OVER SAFELY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. BROUGHT BY CAR INTO THE BODE SHOP FOR UNRELATED ISSUES AND THEY EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WHILE MOVING THE CAR TO ANOTHER LOCATION. THEY WILL BE BRINGING THE CAR TO HONDA SERVICE FOR REVIEW. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR. *TR

I TURNED MY VEHICLE ON AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS ON, INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE POWER STEERING TORQUE HAD GONE BAD. TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING RACK REPLACED - OVER $2K! ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD, I HAVE PASSED THE 35K MILE WARRANTY. THIS IS A PRETTY PAINFUL BILL TO BE FORCED TO PAY WITH SUCH A NEW CAR!! WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED IF SO MANY ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS?!! *TR

SO SCARY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL OF YOUR CAR. I COULDN'T GET THE CAR STEERING TO MOVE, IT WAS WORSE THAN DRIVING A MAC TRUCK. I HAD A REAL HARD TIME GETTING AROUND CORNERS BUT WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE THIS HAPPEN AT NIGHT WITH NO ONE AROUND BUT DRIVE IT TO A SAFE PLACE. *TR

DRIVING ON A BUSY S.E. STREET IN WASHINGTON DC, DRIVING ABOUT 20 TO 30 MPH., HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A TIRE BLOWING OUT OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF NOISE EMANATING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I TRIED TO PRESS THE BRAKE, BUT INSTEAD THE CAR ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT STOP. IT SPED UP AT LEAST ANOTHER 15 TO 20 MORE MPH, AND AGAIN, WOULD NOT STOP. THERE WERE VEHICLES IN THE BACK, SO I COULD NOT USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE OR SHUT THE CAR OFF. THERE WERE ALSO VEHICLES ON THE SIDE AND IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION ON HOW TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN WITHOUT HITTING ANY PEDESTRIANS OR ANY OTHER VEHICLES. DECIDED TO TRY AND STOP THE CAR BY HITTING SOMETHING STATIONARY AND RAN INTO A SET OF STEPS THAT BELONGED TO AN OFFICE BUILDING. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND TWO PASSERSBY STOPPED TO ASSIST ME AND MY PASSENGER OUT OF THE CAR. WE WERE BOTH TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO A HOSPITAL WITH SUBSTANTIAL INJURIES TO THE CHEST, RIB, NECK AND BACK FOR MYSELF AND THE PASSENGER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

ON 11/22/14 I WAS DRIVING ON A SMALL RESIDENTIAL STREET GOING UNDER 15MPH APPROXIMATELY 5 FEET FROM THE TURN I WAS GOING TO BE MAKING. A RIGHT HAND TURN. I HEARD A BANG AND MY STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I HIT THE CURB CAUSING MY RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER TIRE TO BLOW. THE STEERING WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND THE VSA LIGHT WAS ON. I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN WHICH SHUT THE VSA LIGHT OFF AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL SLIGHTLY BUT MADE A TERRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE STEERING RACK WAS BROKEN. NOW I AM 2 WEEKS INTO THIS THE DEALERSHIP IS STRUGGLING TO GET THE CAR FIXED, HONDA HAS NOT YET RETURNED MY CALL SO NOT SURE THEY WILL WARRANTY THE CAR, I'M PAYING FOR INSURANCE ON A RENTAL AND WONDER IF MY HONDA IS EVEN A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. WHY ISN'T ANYTHING BEING DONE? IS THIS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING BEFORE IT'S DEALT WITH? *TR

LOW VOLUME...CLICKING/RUBBING NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS. HONDA KNOWS OF PROBLEM.. SAID THERE IS NO FIX AND IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS CAR. THEIR WORDS NOT MINE .... SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

WE HAD JUST PULLED OFF OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN BLUFFTON SOUTH CAROLINA. STOPPED AT GUARD HOUSE AND PROCEEDED APPROX. 1/2 MILE TO STOP SIGN WHEN WE TRIED TO TURN LEFT WITHOUT WARNING THE (EPS) POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. WE DID NOT GET A WARNING LIGHT UNTIL AFTER THE STEERING STOPPED WORKING. YOU COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING, BUT LUCKY FOR US WE WERE TURNING INTO A PARKING AREA AND STOPPED THE CAR. WE GOT OUT THE OWNERS MANUAL AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AS SUGGESTED, WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE STEERING WAS STILL OUT AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAD THIS HAPPEN. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN AUGUST, 2014. THE FIRST TIME THE SYSTEM DID RESET AFTER WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING SYSTEM TURN OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN. *TR

IT WAS A MAIN ROAD THAT WAS RECENTLY REPAVED. IT IS A MAIN ROAD. IT IS ASPHALT. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT HAD RAINED ALL DAY BUT WAS NOT RAINING AT THE TIME OF CRASH. THERE IS TRAFFIC ON THIS MAIN ROAD SO I WAS GOING ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR. SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED AND WENT RIGHT. I HIT A PARKED CAR AND MY CAR FLIPPED OVER. I WAS CUT OUT OF THE CAR AND TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. I HAVE CUTS AND BRUISES BUT I AM OTHERWISE OK. THE AIRBAGS WORKED. WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT ARE THE TIRES. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT GOODYEAR EAGLES. THE BEST GUESS IS THE CAR HYDROPLANED. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THESE TIRES TEND TO DO THIS. I CAN'T PROVE IT WAS THE TIRES BUT I WANT TO GO ON RECORD THAT I BELIEVE THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THEY ARE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON MANY NEW CARS. IF THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE MAYBE IT WILL BE THE SMOKE OF A STARTING FIRE. *TR
