2014 Honda Accord complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATED CONSISTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000.

TAKATA RECALL:MY CAR WAS HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF ONLY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I GOT BACK IN, TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT WOULDN'T START. I WAS ON A CITY ST, SO I WALKED TO AUTO MECHANIC SHOP, GOT A JUMP, IT STARTED UP AFTER 5 TO 10 MINUTES. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I CALLED HONDA, GOT SOMEONE TO JUMP START THE CAR, DROVE TO HONDA, LEFT THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. HONDA CALLED ME STATING THAT THE BATTERY WAS GOOD, BUT THE SENSORS WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS, CHARGED ME $160. I PICKED UP THE CAR, DROVE IT HOME, THEN 2 DAYS LATER, THE CAR DIED OUT AGAIN. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN, THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN. I GOT THE CAR JUMPED IN ORDER TO TAKE IT BACK TO HONDA. THIS TIME, I LEFT THE CAR THERE FOR 3 DAYS. THEY TOLD ME THIS TIME THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD AND WANTED ME TO PAY FOR A BATTERY. I REFUSED TO PAY FOR A BATTERY, SENT THE MANAGER AN EMAIL IN REFERENCE TO THE FINDINGS THAT THEY SAID WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IN THE BEGINING, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY AND NOW I PAID FOR THE SENSOR AND THE CAR STILL CUT OFF. DID I REALLY NEED THE SENSORS OR WAS IT THE BATTERY IN THE FIRST PLACE? THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AT NO CHARGE. .

AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM PROBLEM. AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT SOMETIMES COMES ON WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTANT PROBLEM. DEALER UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM ON 2 (3 HR) VISITS. HONDA HQ REPORTS: WEIGHT TO TRIGGER SENSOR IS < 60LBS. WARNING LIGHT THAT AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT AIR BAG IS OFF AND WILL NOT DEPLOY. LIGHT MUST BE ON WHEN DEALER CHECKS AS HONDA COMPUTER DOES NOT STORE ANY ERROR CODES OR CONDITIONS, ADVISED TO WAIT UNTIL LIGHT COME ON THEN GO TO DEALER. I OBJECTED AS PASSENGER IS AT RISK OF LIFE THAT THE AIR BAG WILL PROVIDE NO PROTECTION IN EVENT OF COLLISION. HONDA STATED POLICY THEY WILL NOT REPLACE SENSOR UNLESS IT FAILS IN TEST AT DEALER ' THAT IS, PERMANENTLY BAD, NOT INTERMITTANT. HONDA HQ AGENT THEN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE SHE/HONDA COULD DO. I SAID YES, REPLACE ANY SENSOR THAT MAY CAUSE THE LIGHT TO GO ON, AND CHECK LIGHT FOR FAULTY WIRING. RESPONSE: WE'RE NOT WILLING TO DO THAT. (HONDA HQ CASE # 05056884)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

THIS VEHICLE HAS NO START CONDITION AT TIME. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED IN THREE DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS DURING A COURSE OF 26 MONTHS. THIS VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

THERE IS A VERY LOUD HUMMING/ROARING NOISE THAT IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL. I THOUGHT IT WAS TIRE RELATED AND WAS TALKED INTO NEW TIRES IN WHICH THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, IT IS LOOKING AS IF THE NOISE IS BEING PRODUCED FROM THE REAR WHEEL BEARING. I CAN TURN SHARPLY TO THE LEFT, RELIEVING PRESSURE/WEIGHT FROM THE LEFT REAR AND THE NOISE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES. TURNING SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT, (INCREASING PRESSURE TO THE LEFT REAR) INCREASES THE NOISE. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING DIAGNOSED BY MY HONDA DEALER. THE NOISE STARTED AT AROUND 35K AND HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE.

2014 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DISCOVERING A RUPTURE IN THE RIGHT REAR SIDEWALL. OF THE TIRE. *SMD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED. THE GEAR LOCKED IN PARK AND HAD TO BE WIGGLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO RELEASE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. A FEW WEEKS LATER, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT ROLLED OUT OF PARK AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,065.

LOW MILES 2 YEAR OLD HONDA ACCORD RANDOMLY WENT UP IN FLAMES AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 30MINS AT THE DOCTORS OFFICE. LOOKS TO BE A HP FUEL PUMP DESIGN PROBLEM. THIS PUMP WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THANKFULLY IT WASN'T PARKED IN MY GARAGE.

GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES WITH 41,000 MILES ON A 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAVE PIECES OF RUBBER COMING OUT OF THEM. THE BALANCING AND ALIGNMENT ARE FINE AND AIR PRESSURE IS AT 33 PSI. TIRES ARE ROTATED AT EVERY SERVICE, APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MILES. I HAVE TRIED TO SEND PICTURES TO GOODYEAR HEADQUARTERS AND THEY REFUSE TO ALLOW ME TO DO SO. THEY ONLY ACCEPT THE WORD OF THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED IT IS A RESULT OF DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROADS, WHICH HAS NEVER TAKEN PLACE. THEY WERE WILLING TO DO A PARTIAL WEAR ADJUSTMENT, BUT THEY WILL NOT GO THE 50% AS STATED IN THE WRITTEN WARRANTY.

FLASHING DASHBOARD: FCW,ENGINE LIGHT ON, STABILIZER CONTROL LIGHT,ABS- ALL THE LIGHTS FLASHING ON DASH BOARD, UNABLE TO START CARD. BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD. CAR WAS PARKED ON STREET IN FRONT OF HOME. FIFTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE DEALER CLAIMS IT'S THE FOURTH TIME. CAR PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. THE DEALER BLAMES ALARM DEPARTMENT. THE ALARM DEPARTMENT CLAIMS DEALER ALWAYS BLAMES THEM. HOWEVER, I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PERMANENTLY FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT BEGAN IN 2015. THIS FALLS INSIDE OF 18 MONTHS LEMON LAW. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A ONGOING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS NOT RECEPTIVE ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BRAKING INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED AND TURNED RIGHT AND LEFT INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL FROM A STOP I WILL NOT GET POWER AND I'M AFRAID THAT AN ACCIDENT WILL OCCUR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I BELIEVE THE OXYGEN SENSOR MAY BE THE CAUSE. LACK OF POWER.

OIL CONSUMPTION: BURNING ENGINE OIL ENGINE OIL LEVEL IS NEAR EMPTY WITHIN 5000 MILES OIL CHANGE INTERVAL FLASH AND GONE LOW ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD WHICH IS HARD TO NOTICE THE PROBLEM

HANGING A HANDICAP PLACARD FROM THE AUTO DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR CAUSED A WIRING HARNESS SHORT. THE SHORT WAS INTERMMITENT AT FIRST AND CAUSED A PARTIAL LOSS OF ACCESSORIES (AC, RADIO, ETC.) WHILE DRIVING. WITHIN 5 MILES OF THE LOSS OF ACCESSORIES, A HARD SHORT OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STARTED. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURRED DEALER REFUSED TO COVER REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY INDICATING THAT THE CONDITION WAS CAUSED BY AN OUTSIDE SOURCE (THE HANDICAP PLACARD). I APPEALED TO AMERICAN HONDA 7/13/16 AND THE SAME DECISION WAS UPHELD.

I WAS PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPOT AT 2 MPH OR LESS, AND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP, THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD OUT OF MY CONTROL, ACROSS THE CONCRETE BARRIER, OVER A WALKWAY AND INTO THE WALL OF A RESTAURANT, WHERE IT STALLED. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TO REVERSE IT AWAY FROM THE CRASH. FORTUNATELY NO-ONE WAS HURT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE WALL OF THE RESTAURANT. THIS ALSO HAPPENED IN MARCH 2014. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE ENGINE ROARED, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, AND I CRASHED ACROSS A PATH AND THROUGH A WOODEN FENCE. THE DAMAGE THEN WAS $10K. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP'S COLLISION CENTER, WHICH REPORTED ONLY THAT "NO DEFECTS IN MATERIALS OR FACTORY WORKMANSHIP WERE FOUND." THERE ARE AT LEAST 11 OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS STRING, AND IT IS CLEARLY A VERY DANGEROUS FAULT IN THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED.

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN LEAVING ME STRANDED BECAUSE THE CAR KILLS THE BATTERY. IT STARTED LAST YEAR AND THE DEALER SAID THE BATTERY WAS FINE, AND LEFT IT AT THAT. NOW A YEAR LATER THE BATTER IS STILL TESTING GOOD BUT THE CAR HAS LEFT ME 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY IN 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I PERMANENTLY HAVE TO CART JUMPING CABLES JUST I. CASE. I'M SO SAD TO SEE THAT I'M PAYING AND I'VE BEEN SUCH A FAITHFUL HONDA CLIENT AND THIS IS REALLY DEVESTATING.

THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AFTER PARALLEL PARKING MAKING THE VEHICLE INOPERATIVE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

2014 HONDA ACCORD FAILS TO START PERIODICALLY. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IF THERE IS NO ERROR CODE AND ACTS IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO THE ACCORD. TIME FOR ANOTHER RECALL.. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

HONDA ACORD 2014 SPORT 235/45/18 94V AFTER 14000 MILES STARTED SHAKING AND MAKING A ROORING NOISE . AFTER INSPECTION BY THE DEALER HE SAID THAY GO BAD ON BACK BECAUSE OF LESS WAIGHT . SAID THAY WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH ALL OF THIS BRAND ON BACK OF A HONDAS . IT IS CUPPING OUT A BUBBLE GETS BETREEN TREAD AND BODY OF TIRS . VERY UNSAFE . YOU CAN HERE AND FEEL THIS AT ALL SPEEDS .

THE RIGHT TURN CAMERA THAT IS DESIGNED TO HELP ELIMINATE THE BLIND SPOT IS DEACTIVATED DURING HIGH HEAT.,IN PHOENIX AZ "HIGH HEAT" MEANS DIRECT SUNLIGHT AT OVER 85 DEGREES. WHEN I REPORTED THE DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT THIS OUTAGE CREATES FOR THE DRIVERS OF OUR CAR THEY JUST SAID, "YEAH, IT TAKES A WHILE TO COOL OFF." SOMETIMES 15 MINUTES. MEANWHILE I DON'T HAVE THE SAFETY FEATURE I PAID FOR. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW OFTEN MY SAFETY CAMERA SHUTS OFF NOW THAT WE ARE "IN SEASON?" DAILY. LITERALLY EVERY DAY MY RIGHT TURN BLIND SPOT CAMERA SHUTS DOWN WITH A WARNING THAT POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD THAT ELIMINATES OUR ABILITY TO SEE OTHER WARNING SENSOR LIGHTS. I HONESTLY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HONDA IS KNOWINGLY ALLOWING THIS DEFECT TO REMAIN. A HIGH HEAT SENSOR GOING OFF AT 85 DEGREE AMBIENT TEMP IS ABSURD. THEY SAID, NOPE...TOTALLY NORMAL. I'D SAY THAT A CAMERA HELPING ELIMINATE THE BLIND SPOT THAT RESULTS IN MANY ACCIDENTS, SHOULD BE WORKING AT ALL TIMES. AGAIN, SHAME ON HONDA. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN.

UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVERS SEAT, MY LEGS AND THIGH GET NUMB AND GO TO SLEEP, MY SCIATIC NERVE GETS AGRIVATED AND HURTS, AFTER DRIVING FOR 1 HOUR, YOUR LEGS ARE TOTALLY NUMB AND THEN YOU CAN'T WALK FOR NEARLY 100 STEPS, THESE SEATS ARE DANGEROUS AND A HEALTH HAZARD.

DID SEE ONE TIME LOW OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL FOR ABOUT 2 SEC WHEN DID MOVE ON THE STREET WITH THE SPEED ABOUT 30 MPH. DID ADD ONE QUARTER OF THE OIL. IN TWO DAYS THERE WAS NO OIL IN ENGINE. IMMEDIATELY BRING THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AT 9AM ON 5/28/16 CAN'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND DO AFRAID TO USE IT.

SOY BEAN BASED WIRING. CAUSED APPROX $2,200 IN DAMAGE. WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THE COST.

UNLOCK CAR WITH REMOTE ONLY TO COME BACK TO THE CAR AND IT HAS LOCKED ITSELF AGAIN.

THE TRUNK HAS OPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE. FIRST TIME THE LATCH AND THE CABLE WERE REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME I WAS TOLD THE KEY WAS RESET. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.. VEHICLE IS USUALLY PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX-L WAS PARALLEL PARKED IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, I TURNED IT ON AND STARTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO EXIT THE PARKING SPACE. THE FIRST TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL HAD NO PROBLEM, BUT AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR I MOVED 5 FEET FORWARD AND THEN I HEARD A SERIES OF CLICKING NOISES COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AND THE STEERING BECAME IMPOSSIBLY DIFFICULT TO TURN, AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN, BUT EVERY TIME I TURNED THE CAR ON, THERE WERE A SERIES OF CLICKS AND THE STEERING WOULD REMAIN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN WITH THE EPS LIGHT STAYING LIT. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED, AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE EPS CONTROL UNIT FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. I HAD DRIVEN OVER 100 MILES THAT DAY ON BUSY HIGHWAYS AT HIGH SPEEDS AND IF THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ANY OTHER TIME THROUGHOUT THE DAY I MOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT.

REAR RIGHT DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED AND PREVENTS FROM OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR.

POWER STEERING FAILED HAD TO WHILE TAKING A TURN. I HAD TO TURN OFF ENGINE & RESTART IT TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN

TRUNK LID OPENS BY ITSELF INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT NINE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ONE YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE OR ON THE STREET NEAR MY HOUSE. AFTER THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED I BEGAN TO REMOVE THE KEYS FROM MY POCKET AND HANGING THEM ON A KEY HOOK UPON ENTERING THE HOUSE. PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT HONDA AMERICA TECH SUPPORT HAS NEVER EVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM TO DO A GOOGLE SEARCH. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. I TOLD THEM THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN IF NO CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS TAKEN. SO I INSISTED THAT THEY DISCONNECT THE ELECTRONICS FROM THE REMOTE TRUNK RELEASE. I HAVE TO OPEN THE TRUNK MANUALLY WITH THE TRUNK RELEASE CABLE BUT IT IS BETTER THAN LOOKING OUT YOUR HOUSE WINDOW AND SEEING YOUR CAR TRUNK FLAPPING IN THE BREEZE. LESSON LEARNED IS THAT HONDA AMERICA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS UP I WILL BE SWITCHING TO ANOTHER BRAND.

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT DEVELOPED STARTING PROBLEMS. I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A STARTER PROBLEM. BECAUSE I HAVE 47,000 MILES ON THE CAR, WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER REPAIR.

MY CAR HAS A LANE WATCH CAMERA THAT ENGAGES WHEN USING YOUR RIGHT BLINKER. WHEN MAKING AN OUTBOUND CALL, YOU SAY THE NAME OF THE PERSON YOU ARE CALLING AND THEN YOU RECEIVE A VERBAL NOTIFICATION "CALLING _____" IF BETWEEN THIS TIME AND THE TIME IT TAKES FOR THE SYSTEM TO INITIATE THE CALL AND DIAL TONE STARTS YOU HAVE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, WHICH ENGAGES THE LANE WATCH CAMERA, THE CALL IS CANCELED. ONCE YOU'VE TURNED THE CORNER AND THE CAMERA HAS TURNED OFF, IT WILL AGAIN SAY "CALLING ____" HOWEVER IT DOES NOT PERFORM THE CALL AND JUST SITS ON THAT SCREEN. IF YOU LIVE IN A CITY WHERE FREQUENT TURNS ARE A NORMALITY, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO DO SO AND MAKE OUTBOUND CALLS IT'S VERY DIFFICULT AND DISTRACTING AS MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS ARE OFTEN NEEDED TO MAKE THE CALL. I'VE SINCE TURNED OFF THE LANE WATCH CAMERA TO PREVENT IT FROM DISRUPTING OUTBOUND CALLS.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION: CAR STARTED WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, AS I WAS DRIVING A SLOW SPEED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AS I ATTEMPTED TO STOP BEFORE ENTERING THE STREET, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD UNDER ACCELERATION. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND WITH THE ENGINE RACING TO ABOUT 4,000 RPM WITH REV LIMITER CUTTING IN I STOPPED THE CAR WITH THE BRAKE, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL. ENGINE AGAIN RACED TO 4,000RPM WITH REV LIMITER CUTTING IN. STOPPED ENGINE AGAIN AND RESTARTED A THIRD TIME, THIS TIME ENGINE IDLED NORMALLY AND DROVE WITHOUT INCIDENT. CALLED DEALER, NO RECORDS FROM ANYONE INDICATING A SIMILAR SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVE 2014 HONDA ACCORD FCW LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT FELT LIKE A SPONGE AND WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH THAT MY FRONT END WENT UNDER A SUV THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED THE CAR DID NOT STOP AND IT COST 8000 TO FIX THIS IS NOT RIGHT I NOTIFIED HONDA AND AS USUAL SAID THE WILL KEEP IT ON FILE BUT NOT I AM EVEN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT THANK YOU. *TR

CAR WAS STOPPED WITH TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND ENGINE IDLING. THE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO OVER 2000 RPM WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AND NOT ON ACCELERATOR. I PUSHED THE STOP/START BUTTON AND SHUT ENGINE OFF. I RESTARTED ENGINE AND IT AGAIN RAN AT OVER 2000 RPM WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AND NOT ON ACCELERATOR. SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED AGAIN AND IT WENT FROM OVER 2000 RPM BACK TO NORMAL IDLE. I DROVE CAR HOME AND HAD TWO REPEAT ACCELERATIONS SO DROVE CAR TO SHOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SENSOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. UPDATED 05/17/16*LJ *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT CRASHED INTO A POLE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT WRIST THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER, BUT A DIAGNOSTIC WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V121000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD SUCTION NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. THE WINDOW FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED THE POLICE WHO STATED THAT NO OUTSIDE DAMAGE CAUSED THE FRACTURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER WHO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

ONE COLD MORNING OF ABOUT 30-32 DEGREES, THE BACK LEFT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE (OR INSIDE) WHEN THE HANDLE WAS PULLED. IT WAS AS IF CHILD LOCK WAS ON. FROM THAT POINT ON, NO MATTER WHAT TEMP, THE DOOR WON'T OPEN PROPERLY IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO OPEN IS TO PUSH THE DOOR IN THEN PULLING THE HANDLE. IF ON THE INSIDE, YOU HAVE TO PULL THE DOOR IN BY THE HOLE YOU GRASP THE DOOR THE PULL THE HANDLE. IT IS NOT SAFE. IT HAPPENED AT 37,000 MILES. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND IS ON LEASE STILL WITH ONE MORE YEAR TILL I CAN FINANCE IT. I HAVE NO KIDS AND HAVE GUEST THE SIT IN THE BACK PERIODICALLY. I CAN SEE NO FAULT ON MY END FOR THE DOOR TO BE DEFECTIVE. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO WAVE THE $180 FEE TO LOOK AT IT.

SHORTLY AFTER BUYING MY CAR BRAND NEW I HEARD A CLUNK NOISE COME FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL AREA. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. TODAY, AT AROUND 27K MILES THE NOISE HAS EVOLVED INTO A RATTLE WHICH IS HEARD WHILE GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS OR AROUND A SWEEPING RIGHT HAND TURN.

TAKATA RECALL: I WANT TO KNOW IF MY CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. HONDA ADVISED ME THAT I HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. I HAVE ASKED IF THIS AIRBAG USES THE AMMONIUM NITRATE PROPELLANT - WHICH IS SUSPECTED TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM - AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO TELL ME. I HAVE WRITTEN TWO LETTERS TO THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN HONDA & HAVE HAD TWO PHONE RESPONSES, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE NOT ANSWERED THE QUESTION. THEY CLEARLY KNOW THE ANSWER AND I WOULD LIKE THEM TO CONFIRM IN WRITING AS TO WHETHER AMMONIUM NITRATE IS USED IN THE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE.

(1/12/2016) WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE CAR JOLTED AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL. THE CAR BEHIND ME CAME BARRELING UP ON MY BUMPER NEARLY CRASHING INTO ME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. HAD MY CHILDREN BEEN IN THE CAR, AND THE DRIVER BEHIND ME NOT BEEN SO ALERT (PRAISE THE LORD), THIS COULD HAVE HAD DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. AFTER THAT INSTANCE THE TRANSMISSION KEPT SLIPPING AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP AGAIN AND AGAIN, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE, AND THE CAR WOULD JOLT FORWARD AND BACK. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 112,000 MILES ON IT. ALL OUR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PER SCHEDULE AND PERFORMED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SO THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS TRANSMISSION TO FAIL THIS EARLY. I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO SEE IF THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT WAS FULL AND CLEAN (THANKS TO REGULAR MAINTENANCE). IN RESEARCHING THIS FURTHER I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF OVER 1 MILLION VEHICLES ON THIS VERY PROBLEM BACK IN 2004 (NTSA REFERENCE #04V176000, APRIL 15, 2004). THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT COVERING SEVERAL HONDA MODELS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. THIS FAILURE IS UNACCEPTABLE GIVEN HONDA'S REPUTATION FOR QUALITY AND DEPENDABILITY. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT I HAVE 4 CHILDREN, AND HAD THIS BEEN UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. PLEASE HONDA; DO THE RIGHT

WINDSHIELD WASHER FREEZES EXTREMELY EASILY, CAUSING A HORRIBLY UNSAFE CONDITION IN WINTER DRIVING. AS AN EXAMPLE, I HAVE -30 DEGREE WASHER FLUID IN THE CAR, IT IS 25 DEGREES OUT THIS MORNING, CAR SAT IN THE GARAGE ALL NIGHT. AFTER A 15 MINUTE DRIVE, WASHER FLUID IS COMPLETELY FROZEN AND WILL NOT COME OUT AT ALL. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FOR ME BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE WITH THE SALT ON THE ROAD.

I BOUGHT MY HONDA ACCORD NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER. IN OUR FIRST SNOWSTORM THIS YEAR, I NOTICED I HAD TREMENDOUS DIFFICULTY MOVING FORWARD, EVEN ON FLAT SURFACE, WITHIN MY OWN CULDESAC, WITH VERY LITTLE SNOW ON THE GROUND. DESPITE THE CAR HAVING LESS THAN 20,000 MILES AND ORIGINAL TIRES, I WAS SURPRISED HOW BADLY THE TIRES PERFORMED IN MILD SNOWY CONDITIONS. I MADE A MENTAL NOTE TO GET NEW TIRES, ALTHOUGH QUITE DISAPPOINTED THAT I FELT THAT NEED WITH A RELATIVELY NEW CAR UNFORTUNATELY, THE NEXT SNOW HIT BEFORE I BOUGHT NEW TIRES. I WAS IN MY OWN NEIGHBORHOOD, A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE, MAKING MY WAY TO A MAJOR STREET WITH A MILD DECLINE. THE ROAD WAS SLICK, BUT I NOTED THAT THE OTHER CARS DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY STOPPING, ETC. AS I BEGAN THE DESCENT DOWN THE HILL, I NOTICED MY TIRES WERE NOT GIVING MY ANY TRACTION, AND I BEGAN SLIDING UNCONTROLLABLY DOWN THE HILL. I COLLIDED WITH A CAR ON THE INTERSECTING STREET DUE TO, I BELIEVE, VERY POOR TIRE PERFORMANCE. A NEW CAR OF THIS CALIBER, IN MY OPINION,SHOULD HAVE ADEQUATE TRACTION ABILITY FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST 20,000 MILES. MY CAR IS, LIKELY TOTALED, I AM INJURED, THE OTHER PARTY'S CAR IS BADLY DAMAGED AND I IMAGINE SHE SUFFERED INJURIES AS WELL. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN HAVING MY CAR SERVICED OVER THE PAST YEAR, I WAS NEVER ADVISED THAT THE TIRES WERE INADEQUATE.

ON A SUNDAY MORNING, I STARTED MY CAR IN A DRIVEWAY - TURNED ON THE HEATER AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO WARM UP. WHEN I BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THERE WAS A BUNCH OF THICK SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THEN, I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND QUICKLY JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR. A MECHANIC LOOKED AT MY CAR AND DETERMINED THAT THE WATER PUMP FROZE WHICH CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR BELT TO BREAK. THE NEXT DAY, ONCE MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE DETERMINATION WAS CONFIRMED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. BUT, AS TO THIS DAY - I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED. DO I HAVE A LEMON OR WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN? COULD THIS HAPPEN WHILE I'M DRIVING CAUSING A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT? AFTER ALL, THIS CAR ONLY HAD 18,571 MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT NEW ON MARCH 9, 2014. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE UNKNOWN FUTURE SAFETY RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE SUN SHADE WAS CLOSED AND THE MAJORITY OF THE GLASS FRAGMENTS WERE WAS RETAINED BY THE SUN SHADE. THE DEALER SPECULATED THAT A ROCK MUST HAVE STRUCK THE SUN ROOF, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

TWO TIMES WHILE DRIVING TONIGHT I TRIED TO ADJUST THE HEAT BUT ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT KILLED THE ENGINE. IN ORDER TO START YOU MUST BE IN PARK SO YOU MUST STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE RESTARTING. THIS HAPPENED IN A SMALL TOWN WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC. IF THIS HAPPENED IN HIGH SPEED HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS SITUATION COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT FOR THE DRIVER OR OTHER DRIVERS. A RECALL SHOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED.

HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY CAR SINCE PURCHASE, I HAD COMPLAINED AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER SHIP DUE TO NOISE BEING MADE WHEN BRAKING. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM, BRAKES CONTINUED TO HAVE TROUBLE FUNCTIONING CAR WOULD SHAKE WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE, THIS LEAD TO TOTAL FAILURE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE IN MOTION CAUSING ME TO IMPACT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, THE SYSTEM LOCKED UP AND FAILED TO STOP.

TAKATA RECALL THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN TOO THE FLOOR OF THE SUV. I WAS COMING UP ON A STOP SIGN.

TRUNK LID HAS NO RESISTANCE AND HAS FALLEN ON US NUMEROUS TIMES CAUSING FACIAL/HEAD INJURIES. PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED WHEN PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH HAS A SLIGHT ELEVATION. IF LID IS NOT HELD MANUALLY, GRAVITY AND WEIGHT OF THE TRUNK LID FREE-FALLS. IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS FOR SUPPOSED "REPAIR" OR WE ARE TOLD "THAT IS THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE" -- AN AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT FROM AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY (CASE NUMBER 04244825)." IN MY 54 YEARS OF CAR OWNERSHIP, INCLUDING MANY HONDAS, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM.
