2014 Honda Accord complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 20-30 MPH AROUND A CURVE, THE AUTO BRAKES ENGAGED AND AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VIDMAR MOTOR COMPANY (600 N ALBANY AVE, PUEBLO, CO 81003, (719) 544-5844) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER'S GENERAL MANAGER WAS TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

THIS DISPUTE RELATED TO 2014 HONDA ACCORD SAFETY RECALL 17V-418. BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING, MOISTURE IS ENTERING INTO THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY SYSTEM WHICH IS THE SOURCE OF ABOVE RECALL. A MONTH BEFORE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE, MY CALL STALLED AT A GAS STATION ON OCTOBER 12, 2017 AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER DISCOVERED THAT SEVERE CORROSION DAMAGED THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE AND THE CABLE BROKE OFF. THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THE CABLE AND BATTERY WAS $735.52. BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL 17V-418, THE ISSUE WE EXPERIENCED IS RELATED. DUE TO THE DESIGN FLAW, THE MOISTURE IS DAMAGING VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE BATTERY SYSTEM. I FILED A CLAIM (CASE # 06489520) WITH HONDA FOR REIMBURSEMENT BUT MY REQUEST HAS BEEN DENIED. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE 3RD ANNIVERSARY OF THE PURCHASE. THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE IS THAT MOISTURE ENTERING THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND THE HONDA SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY AND REIMBURSE THE COST OF REPAIR. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR IS $735.52 + $65 (TOWING) = $800.52.

REAR WHEEL BEARINGS ARE MAKING MORE AND MORE NOISE ALL THE TIME

SOMETHING IN CONNECTION WITH ENGINE LOSS THERE WHERE AROUND 300 CATS RECALLED WAS JUST WONDERING IF OURS WAS ONE OF THEM PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK ON THIS ISSUE AS I WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MATTER ASAP.IT SAYYS THEY MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE MY BLOCK AT NO CHARGE.

MY CAR KEPT SHUTTING DOWN.I HAD TO KEEP JUMPING IT EVERY TIME I STARTED IT. I TOOK IT TO SHOP AND THEY MADE ME PAY $130 FOR NEW BATTERY. I FEEL IT WAS RELATED TO BATTERY RECALL AND I SHOULDNT HAVE HAD TO PAY. BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS A BAD CELL IN IT AND IT WASNT RELATED TO THE RECALL

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN APARKING LOT AS I HAD TO DO A QUICK ERRAND AT COSTCO. CAR WAS TURNED OFF WITH FAN RUNNING. MY WIFE STAYED BACK IN THE CAR. AFTER I CAME BACK AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MINS, THE TRUNK WONT OPEN AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS IN CAR WERE OFF. CAR WONT START AT ALL. I TRIED STARTING FOR FEW MINS WITHOUT FAIL. LUCKILY I COULD JUMP START THE CAR USING THE JUMP START KIT IN COSTCO TIRE CENTRE. I TOOK IN THE CAR TO DEALER AS THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE AND BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS TIME AROUND EVERYTHING WAS OK. DEALER ADVISED ME TO NOT RUN THE ACCESORIES WITHOUT CAR ENGINE RUNNING. DEALER MENTIONED THAT IN ORDER TO KEEP CAR WEIGHT LOW, MANUFACTURERS ARE SWITCHING TO SMALLER AND SMALLER BATTERIES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE OCCUPANTS ARE AT PHYSICAL RISK IF THIS HAPPENS IN THE A DESOLATE PLACE OR CAR COULD BE UNAVAILABLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. MITIGATIONS EXPECTED ARE (1) CAR COMPUTERS SHOULD DETECT BATTERY DRAIN AND AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF TO ALLOW FOR CAR TO START, (2) HAVE A SECONDARY BATTERY BACKUP JUST FOR THESE SITUATIONS, (3) THERE IS SHOULD BE OPTION TO SWITCH TO A BIGGER BATTERY.

OIL LIFE AT 40%. CAR WAS MAKING NOISE. WHILE DRIVING AND PRESSED ON BRAKES ...OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF. CHECKED OIL ON CAR. NO DROP OF OIL IN THE ENGINE. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. NO LEAKS.. CARBON FOUND ON CYLINDERS, INSIDE ENGINE AND ON PINSTON RINGS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL ESPECIALLY WHEN CONSISTENT OIL CHANGES, FUEL INJECTION WAS CLEANED, AND CVT TRANSMISSION IS ALSO REPLACED CONSISTENTLY. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 6MONTHS AGO. ENGINE IS CURRENTLY DISMANTLED AND WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER! COMPLETELY UPSETTING!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE PUSH TO START BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS DESCRIBED IN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 16-002. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERSIDE DOOR BY A FREIGHT TRUCK. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. BANGED MY HEAD ON THE SIDE OF THE DOOR.

CONTACT GILLMAN HONDA IN HOUSTON, TEXAS REGARDING TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIPS SAYING SUCH RECALL IS NOT EXISTING FOR MY VEHICLE.

I NOTICED WHEN MY CAR IS RUNNING(STATIONARY) WITH HEAT ON AND HEADLIGHTS ON AFTER COUPLE OF MINUTES IT MAKES A CLICK NOICE WHICH AFFECTS THE LIGHTS(HEADLIGHTS). WHEN CAR IS MOVING (IN MOTION) ALL OF A SUDDEN LIGHTS BECOME SUPER DIM AS IF THEY ARE BARELY ANY LIGHTS. SOME DAYS LIGHTS WORK AS IF THEY ARE BRAND NEW AND COVERS THE ENTIRE STREET.

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING STARTING ISSUES. ON SOME MORNINGS, IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 15 OR MORE TIMES TO ACTUALLY START MY VEHICLE, AND SOME MORNINGS IT WILL TURN OVER IMMEDIATELY. IT IS VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE I HAVE A 2014 VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT AS FAR AS IT STARTING. I HAVE ALSO BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON NEWER HONDAS FOR THIS EXACT REASON, THE STARTER. AS ALWAYS, MY VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN TRYING TO START IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE RECHARGED MORE THAN ONCE TO START. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS MOISTURE AND CORROSION BUILDING UP NEAR THE BATTERY CAPS. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER (PLANET HONDA, 2285 ROUTE 22 WEST, UNION, NJ 07083, (908) 964-1600) STATED THAT THEY PROVIDED THE REMEDY FOR THE RECALL AND THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE BATTERY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAD A FENDER BENDER AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HIT SOMEONE FROM THE BACK. I WAS MOVING.

BOTH OF MY BACK TIRES GOT CUPPING ON THE INSIDE. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE OR LACK OF ROTATION. I HAVE CHECKED A COUPLE OF CARS FROM MY NEIGHBORS AND THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THEIR TIRES ARE DAMAGE. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE STRUTS ARE THE PROBLEM.

I NOTICED THAT BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND 4 DIFFERENT WARNING LIGHTS CAME OUT AT THE SAME TIME(ABS, BRAKE, VSA, ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING), I WENT TO BRAMAN HONDA DEALER LOCATED AT 7000 CORAL WAY MIAMI, FL.33155 ON 11/20/17, THEY CHANGED VSA MODULATOR AND THEY CHARGED ME $1263.09. SINCE THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SAFETY AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 29,000MILES, I DECIDED TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA BUT THEY DID NOT HELP ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. I REALLY WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND CALL FOR SAFETY RECALL ASAP SINCE I COULD BE DEAD. I KNOW THAT MANY OTHER HONDAS FROM SAME YEAR ARE REPORTING SAME COMPLAINT. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

RESALE VALUE WILL PLUMMET ON THESE CARS! CALL ME!! TAKE THE CAR TO INVESTIGATE - ANYTHING!! NOTE - REPLACEMENT STARTER IS A BENDIX AFTERMARKET WITH LIFETIME WARRANTY - THIS IS NOT A STARTER PROBLEM - IT IS A DESIGN FLAW CAUSING STARTER PROB

WHEN WE PUSH THE STARTER BUTTON TO CRANK THE ENGINE, A LOUD GRINDING NOISE OCCURS (AS WHEN YOU TRY TO START AN ENGINE THAT IS ALREADY RUNNING). BEGAN AROUND 23,000 MILES, AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME. HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS MADE AWARE OF PROBLEM TWICE BEFORE 36,000 MI. WARRANTY EXPIRED. HONDA SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU START VEHICLE...WITH 4 OR 5 ATTEMPTS TO ACTUALLY START CAR. GRINDING AT EVERY ATTEMPT. NOW AT 48,000 MILES , WE'RE TOLD THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT...AROUND $900. WE NOTICED THAT THERE IS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON LINE WITH SAME PROBLEM. PLUS MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO CONFIRM IT. WE ALSO HAVE READ REPORTS THAT HONDA STARTERS FOR THESE MODEL YEARS WERE MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY/IMPROPERLY, WITH HONDA AWARE OF IT. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ANYWHERE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY AND NOT MOVING. WOKE TO FIND ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF VEHICLE IN FLAMES.

PAINT PEELING AND CRACKING

THE BATTERY WAS MESSED UP AND I WASNT EVEN AWARE OF THE RECALL AND I HAD TO PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT BATTERY. I JUST READ ABOUT THE RECALL

MY 2014 ACCORD EX SEDAN IS ON RECALL NOTICE AND I AM HAVING A FINAL REPAIR ON THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENOR NEXT WEEK. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS I AM EXPERIENCING AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY TRYING TO START MY CAR. WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SOMETIMES THE CARE DOES NOT START. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE NOV. 2013 AND HAVE ONLY HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ALL SYMBOLS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT UP AND QUICKLY GO OFF AND I GET A NOTICE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL "POWER IS ON": WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN 1-3 TIMES, THE CAR STARTS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH STALLING OR CUTTING OFF WHILE IN MOTION. MY BATTERY IS ONLY 2 YR. OLD. AND IT WAS JUST CHECKED LAST MONTH AND THE CHARGE WAS OK. CLEARLY THERE IS A SHORT AFFECTING IGNITION OF THE IGNITION OF THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM I HAVE DESCRIBED HAS SO FAR ONLY OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. I ONLY HAVE 42,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND IS QUITE DISTURBING; IT CAN BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAS ISSUED HONDA ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAMPAIGNS F/ RECALL NOTICES FOR OTHER HONDA VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT YET FOR MY 2014 SEDAN. IT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED. FROM REVIEWING THE NHTSA COMPLAINT DATABASE IT IS CLEAR THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NHTSA AND HONDA AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS COMPLAINT BE EXPEDITIOUSLY INVESTIGATED AND THE PROBLEM FOR MY CAR AND IS RECOGNIZED AS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE HONDA PRO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CHIMING NOISE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED BUBBLES ON THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH EVENTUALLY CRACKED, AND THE EXTERIOR PAINT WAS BUBBLING. ADDITIONALLY, THE SUSPENSION AND ENGINE MADE ABNORMAL CRACKING AND HISSING NOISES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RICK CASE HONDA (157000 RICK CASE HONDA WAY, DAVIE, FL 33331) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SQUEAKING NOISE WAS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ALL THE OTHER ISSUES HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR NHTSA RECALL 17V-418 IN AUGUST 2017. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. IT'S CURRENTLY NOVEMBER AND I AM STILL UNABLE TO GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED.

SO, YESTERDAY I FOUND MYSELF FACED WITH A DEAD BATTERY AFTER PARKING IN A PARKING LOT AND GOING INTO A STORE FOR 10 MINUTES, AND CALLED AAA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THEY DISPATCHED ROY'S TOWING WHO ARRIVED WITHING ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF THE INITIAL CALL. IAN, THE SERVICE TECH, CHECKED THE BATTERY AND FOUND IT ONLY HAD 18 COLD CRANKING AMPS, (IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND 500) I WAS TAKEN ABACK, AS THE CAR IS NOT THAT OLD AND VERY LOW MILEAGE. HE WENT ONE STEP FURTHER AND CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND IT'S CHARGING CAPACITY, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE JUST FINE. THE CAR IS JUST OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY 27,414 MILES ON IT. I RECENTLY WAS IN TO HAVE A BATTERY SENSOR REPLACED DUE TO A POSSIBLE SHORT, BUT THE DEALER JUST SPREAD SOME SEALER ON IT. COULD THIS BE THE PROBLEM? WE HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND THE ALTERNATOR, THIS AT 16, 212 MILES.. NOW THAT WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY,THE BATTERY, INSTALLATION, ETC. COST $123.00 TOTAL. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE WITH STARTER, ALTERNATOR AND FAILING BATTERIES AT LOW MILEAGE FOR THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD. A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM?

I WANT THIS PIECE OF💩 FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN, I WILL ALSO PASS THE WORD HONDA IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE, IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU BETTER REPLY VERY QUICKLY, OR IT WON'T BE PRETTY, BUNCH OF MORONS!

TAKATA RECALL

HONDA STARTER REPLACED UNDER 36K MILES BUT OUT OF WARRANTY BY TIMEFRAME. HONDA REFUSES T REIMBURSE FOR THE REPLACEMENT STARTER EVENTHOUGH THEY WERE NOTIFIED BEFORE THE VEHICLE REACHED 36K MILES. THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD V6 HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED WHERE THE STARTER WAS REPLACED (HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/ARTICLES/2013-2015-HONDA-ACCORD-CROSSTOUR-STARTER-ISSUE-1420684480836/ ) THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT WITHIN THIS SERVICE BULLETIN BUT HONDA WILL NOT REPAIR DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO THE CONSUMER THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND LEAVE US TO FIGHT TO TRY TO GET THEM TO DO WHATS RIGHT. THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND WENT OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HONDA WORLD IN WEST MINSTER, CA, 714- 890-8900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000.

THE AIR BAG EXPLODED ON THE COLLISION ON A STREET AND CAUSED SEVERE BURNS ON HER HANDS. PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES BELOW. THIS IS CAUSING HER IMMENSE PAIN AND TRAUMA AND SHE IS HAVING TROUBLE PERFORMING DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES. THE INJURIES SHE SUFFERED BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG WERE MORE THAN THE ACTUAL COLLISION. THIS IS CAUSING HER TO GO IN DEPRESSION AND SHE IS SCARED OF THE AIRBAG, MORE THAN ANYTHING NOW. THE CAR IS BEYOND REPAIR AND IS BEING SALVAGED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

UPDATE TO PRIOR - VEHICLE STARTER WAS REPLACED WITH NEW AFTERMARKET UNIT, PROBLEM RESUMED AFTER A FEW WEEKS. PUSHING START BUTTON EXHIBITING NUMEROUSLY REPORTED PROBLEMS AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS REQUIRED TO GET IT TO START. HAD THE BATTERY SENSOR RECALL ITEM HONDA # KHO (THE INSPECTION AND RE-SEALING) DONE ON 10/18/17 - THAT NIGHT IT HAD THE SAME STARTING ISSUE... NO LINK WITH THE SENSOR (AT LEAST THE 'BAND-AID' FIX). I THEN CHECKED AND TIGHTENED THE NUTS AT BOTH ENDS OF THE BATTERY GROUND-TO-CHASSIS CABLE - WE'LL SEE IF THAT HELPS - THERE WAS NO SIGN OF CORROSION, BUT THE NUT DID TURN ABOUT 1/2 TURN AT THE CHASSIS SIDE... NOW HAVE 62600 MILES ON VEHICLE AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE ABOUT 39K... WE REALLY NEED A GOOD SOLID FIX - AND IF IT REALLY IS A STARTER PLACEMENT ISSUE, NEED A SOLUTION! AND HONDA NEEDS TO REIMBURSE EVERYONE FOR COSTS TO DATE!

I GOT A LETTER IN AUG 2017 ABOUT A "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" AND SINCE THEN THE COGGIN HONDA DEALERSHIP OF ORLANDO HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT THE RUN AROUND. THEY ANSWER MY CALLS AND SAY SOMEONE WILL GET BACK TO ME, BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENS TRIED TO REACH THE MANAGER TWICE BUT HE COULD NOT BE REACH THE SALESPERSON NO LONGER THERE. IF MY HONDA HAS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL I AM BEING LED TO BELIEVE THIS DEALERSHIP COULD CARE LESS. WE BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE WE FELT IT WAS A TRUSTED NAME AND IMAGINE WE WILL NOT GO VERY FAR OR USE IT MUCH UNTIL THE SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED. PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS PROBLEM OR LEAST GUIDE US IN WHAT TO DO NEXT.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE STEERING WENT STIFF. THE STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR HAD NO POWER STEERING. I MOVED INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE, EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND MADE IT HOME. I DIDN'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER, ESPECIALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY, THE WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A FAULT CODE FOR THE STEERING. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY ERASED THE FAULT CODE, REBOOTED THE COMPUTER AND SAID IT MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IF NOT THE EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) RACK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE ESTIMATED COST OF $2140. THE ACCORD HAD 60,900 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRED; 235 MILES LATER, I LOST POWER STEERING AGAIN AND HAD THE REPAIR DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INDEPENDENTLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT ARM AND NECK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO START CAR NOTHING HAPPENS ( NO WARNING LIGHTS NOTHING BLANK) THEN AFTER 2 OR 3 ATTEMPTS CAR STARTS

I HAVE BEEN DOING THE SERVICE WITH HONDA OF CONCORD SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THEM SINCE 2015. MY CAR TIRES GOT BURSTED THIS YEAR(2017) AND I WENT WITH MY INSURANCE THROUGH HONDA OF CONCORD COLLISION CENTER TO FIX THE SAME. DURING JAN 2017, THE HONDA CHECKED ALL MY TIRES AS PER MY INSURANCE FIXES ONLY 2 TIRES AND NEVER REPORTED ANY ISSUES WITH MY OTHER 2 TIRES. EVEN THE SERVICE STATION, WHERE I HAD BEEN DOING MY SERVICE SINCE 2015, DID NOT SUGGEST OR DID MY TIRE ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, PROACTIVELY, I DID MY TIRE ALIGNMENT @ 26000 MILES, WHEN HONDA OF CONCORD COLLISION CENTER REPLACED MY TIRES. AFTER THAT I HAVE DONE TIRE ROTATIONS, ROUTINE CHECK WITH OIL FILLS WITH HONDA OF CONCORD SERVICE STATION. SINCE MY SERVICE, IN THE PAST ONE MONTH, I HAD MY TPMS LIGHT ON FOR 3 TIMES, EVERY TIME I CALLED HONDA, THEY ASKED ME TO RESET IT MYSELF IN THE CAR, WHICH I DID. BUT, I FELT BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES AROUND 36 K MILES, I CALLED IN HONDA FOR APPOINTMENT SEP 2017. TODAY, WHEN I DROPPED MY CAR, HONDA SERVICE GUYS CALLED ME AND SAID, I OWN RESPONSIBILITY IN CHANGING MY TIRES WHICH HAS WEAR AND TEAR COVER TILL 60 K MILES AND I SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO CHANGE BRAKES AT REAR END, FLUIDS, ETC ETC.. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT MY WARRANTY ON TIRES AND BRAKES.. THEY WERE RELUCTANT AND SAID ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ALL OF A SUDDEN. I HAD GIVEN CAR FOR SERVICE ONLY A MONTH BACK, WHERE I ASKED THEM TO CHECK EVERYTHING AND I BELIEVE, THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING, SINCE THEY ARE REPORTING ME NOW TO DRIVE AS

2014 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM TESTING ISSUES. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM HAS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE DISTANCE WARNING SETTINGS. THE LONG,SHORT, AND NORMAL DISTANCE WARNINGS ARE EQUAL TO 2 CAR LENGTHS. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED FOR NHTSA TO ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 09/27/2017*JS

THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH IMPROPERLY TORQUED CONNECTING ROD BOLTS,WICH CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER OR LEAK OIL. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL,INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH.IF THE ENGINE LEAKS OIL IN THE PROXIMITY OF HOT ENGINE OR EXHAUST COMPONENTS,THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF A FIRE. HONDAS NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS JP2.I SEE SOME OIL BETWEEN BLOCK CYLINDER AND HEAD OF MY CAR.

THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I'D BRING MY CAR INTO THE DEALER TO CHECK MY TIRES, RE-INFLATE MY TIRES AND RESET THE LIGHT, AND THE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. I'M TIRED OF TAKING MY CAR EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS, AND HAVING TO CHECK MY TIRES SEEMINGLY ALL THE TIME.

TAKATA RECALL

THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE STARTER HAVING A "GRINDING", "STATIC-LIKE", OR "WHINING" SOUND AND IT HAS SEEMINGLY AFFECTED MY CAR AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I AM PREPARING TO LEAVE FOR MY DESTINATION, DO A BASIC PRESS OF THE STARTER BUTTON, AND I WILL HEAR THAT GRINDING AND WHINING SOUND... ON OCCASION, IT WILL TAKE A NUMBER OF TRIES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON THE REGULAR. THERE IS A HONDA TECHNICAL BULLETIN (DATED FEBRUARY 5, 2016) NUMBER 16-002 IN REGARDS TO THE STARTER AND ALSO A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (MERKIN V. HONDA NORTH AMERICAN INC., AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., HONDA MOTOR COMPANY LTD.) I CANNOT PINPOINT AN EXACT DATE ON WHEN THIS STARTED (I GAVE YOU MY BEST ANSWER), BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I FEAR IF IT CONTINUES, IT COULD HURT MY CAR IN THE LONG RUN OR I COULD POSSIBLY BE STRANDED IF I GO ON A LONG JOURNEY SOMEWHERE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOG LIGHT ALSO SUDDENLY FAILED. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO BOZMAN HONDA (LOCATED AT 8450 HUFFINE LANE, BOZEMAN, MT, 59718; 406-587-0761) AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PART FOR THE REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHARGING ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED. IN ADDITION, THE HORN FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER (NEW CENTURY HONDA OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE BATTERY DIES INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO REASON. I HAD THEM TEMPORARY FIX DONE IN JULY OF 2017. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY UNTIL THIS WEEK. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY DIE TWICE THIS WEEK. THE CAR STARTS FINE SOME DAYS AND OTHERS IT WON'T. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BATTERY STAYING CHARGED.

ONE MORNING WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO DAYCARE I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAULTY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE (THE LINE FROM THE GAS TANK TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR). UPON RECEIVING THE REPLACEMENT PART THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE NEW FUEL LINE HAS AN ADDITIONAL INSULATOR THAT PREVENTS THIS EXACT ISSUE. I'VE SEEN THIS REPORTED ELSEWHERE AS "POSSIBLE RODENT DAMAGE" BUT THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE HONDA IS AWARE OF BUT NOT ADDRESSING VIA A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. PRIOR TO THE CONTACT RECEIVING NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), THE CHARGE SYSTEM WARNING ALERT FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES.
