2014 Honda Accord complaints

FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BEGAN PREMATURELY CRACKING ALONG THE OUTER SIDEWALL. VEHICLE HAS APPROX 35600 MILES. TIRES CAME NEW WITH VEHICLE.

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD COUPE HAS 33,900+ MILES AND FOR THE PAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD IT IN TO FOX HONDA IN GRAND RAPIDS FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS, THAT IT STUTTERS OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING AND TWICE, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED OUT AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED. FOX MOTORS PLUGS A COMPUTER INTO THE CAR AND THEY TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF ANY PROBLEMS AND THEY CAN'T FIX WHAT THEY CAN'T DETECT. TWO DAYS AGO, WHILE DRIVING TO THE VA HOSPITAL IN BATTLE CREEK, I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON ANDERSON RD/STREET AND THE CAR STALLED AND A FEDEX SEMI HAD TO DRIVE ONTO SHOULDER AND ONTO A YARD TO KEEP FROM HITTING US AND IF HE HADN'T, WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED. I TOOK THE CAR INTO FOX MOTORS AND THEY ARE STANDING PAT, REFUSING TO HELP US. THEY DID OFFER TO BUY THE CAR BACK FROM ME, BUT FOR A TERRIBLE PRICE AND I ASKED THEM WHAT THEY WOULD DO WITH IT AND THEY DEALERSHIP MANAGER SAID THAT THEY WOULD RESELL IT WITH CONFIDENCE AND I REFUSED TO SELL IT TO THEM IF THEY WERE GOING TO RESELL IT WITH A SERVICE CERTIFICATION. HOW DARE THEM DO THAT! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.

MY CAR ROLLS DOWN MY DRIVEWAY ABOUT 3 FEET BEFORE IT STOPS, MY DRIVEWAY IS ABOUT 15 DEGREES, NO RAIN, NO SNOW, CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS WAS NORMAL, I TEND TO THINK ITS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THE CAR WAS STATIONART AND IN PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I DID MY OWN TEST ON THIS SITUATION AND IT WAS VERY REPEATABLE.

MY CAR SURGES WHILE DRIVING OCCASIONALLY AND SURGES WHILE STOPPED. I WAS SITTING AT A STOP SIGN WAITING ON TRAFFIC TO PASS BY AND MY CAR SURGED SO HARD THAT IT PUSHED IT OUT A COUPLE INCHES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. READ OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE AND MY CAR ISN'T THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE TURNING AT A CURVE. WELL KNOWN ROAD, IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, UP A HILL. DRIVE IT DAILY. TO AVOID HITTING, CLIMBED ON CURB, , TOOK ENTIRE STRENGTH I HAD TO PUT VEHICLE BACK IN STRAIGHT LINE. AS A RESULT CAR SUFFERED MINOR DAMAGE, I PULLED SOME MUSCLES I NEVER KNEW I HAD. I BARELY AVOIDED HITTING THE A BILLBOARD SIGN HEAD ON. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THERE BEING NO PEDESTRIANS ON THE SIDEWALK, AS IT IS CLOSE TO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. FLUID LEAKED FROM CAR AFTERWARDS. I NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR PRIOR, HAD IT FOR A YEAR, A BRAND NEW LEASE. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID ALL THE DAMAGE IS FROM THE IMPACT TO CURB. CANNOT FIND FAULTS. DANGEROUS SITUATION.

CAR ACCELERATED WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO THE EXTERIOR WALL OF THE STORE.

THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION. HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING KICK BACK ON. HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE REQUIRING MULTIPLE RESTARTS TO (5 OR SIX RESTARTS OF THE CAR TO KICK ON) TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (GRAINGER HONDA-SAVANNAH GA) ON 9/10/2015. TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE SYMPTOM THROUGH 50+ MILES OF DRIVING. NO FURTHER ACTION WOULD BE TAKE AND THEY WOULD WASH THE CAR AND GIVE ME A TANK OF GAS FOR MY TROUBLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON THE HIGHWAY UPON SLIGHTLY BRAKING A STRONG VIBRATING STARTED FROM THE WHEELS TO THE ENGINE I LOOK INTO HONDA AND PROBLEMS REGARDING THEM WHEN I LOST POWER LIKE A STALL IS RELATED TO ENGINE WHICH CAUSES THE VIBRATING AS WELL AS THE BRAKING VIBRATING IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA WARP ROTORS WITH ONLY 14,600 MILES SHOULD'NT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES TO EARLY CAUSE IM NORMAL DRIVER ALSOTHE AIRCONDTION BLOWING HOT AIR SCREEN GOING BLACK ON THE DASH BOARD IN AND OUT I PAY ALOT OF MONEY VERY UPSET WITH WHATS HAPPENING OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THIS CAR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A TUESDAY MORNING AROUND 6:45AM AND I HEARD A LOUD BANG. PULLED BACK MY SUN VISOR FOR SUNROOF AND SAW THAT MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. CLOSED VISOR JUST IN CASE IT WANTED TO BREAK. THEN ALL OFF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD CRASH AND MY VISOR STARTED FLAPPING. ROAD TO WORK HOLDING VISOR WITH ONE HAND AND DRIVING WITH THE OTHER SCARED THE VISOR WAS GOING TO FLY OPEN. GOT TO WORK AND LOOKED AT SUN ROOF AND IT WAS A BIG HOLE IN MY SUNROOF. 75% OF MY SUNROOF WAS MISSING OR GONE.

I HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY HONDA ACCORD EX-L, 2014. WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MY CAR SHOWED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH PANEL. IT SAID "SYSTEM FAILED", AND THE DASH FUNCTIONS BECAME PARALYZED. SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE HOOD. IN A FEW MINUTES, THE FRONT PART OF THE CAR WAS IN FLAMES. MOST OF THE CAR WAS BURNED.

SUNROOF BLEW OUT WITH A LOUD NOISE, GOING 45 MPH, SUNNY AND DRY ROAD, DAYLIGHT, NO TRUCKS ANYWHERE NEAR MY CAR, NO OVER PASSES IN THAT AREA, BUSHES AND TREES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NO PEOPLE IN SIGHT AND LUCKY FOR ME THE ROOF SHADE WAS CLOSED. MA 10/5 *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND LOSE POWER. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200. MA 10/06

PULLED INTO PARKING SPOT. AS I SLOWED PRIOR TO SHIFTING TO PARK, THE ENGINE SURGED PROPELLING ME INTO A CEMENT COLUMN. THE FRONT OF MY CAR SUSTAINED APPROXIMATELY $2600 IN DAMAGES.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. NOTHING HIT IT; IT JUST EXPLODED.

THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED DURING THE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO SIMULATE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE FCW SHOULD ALERT, WITH NO SUCCESS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE SELLING DEALER FOUR TIMES. ON TWO OF THE VISITS THE FCW ONLY WORKED ONCE AFTER TESTING FOUR OR MORE TIMES.THE FCW NOTIFICATION WAS TOO CLOSE FOR SAFELY TAKING ACTION. THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE WARNING DISTANCE WHEN CHANGING THE SETTINGS- LONG, NORMAL, SHORT. ON THE TWO OTHER OCCASIONS THE FCW DID NOT WORK AT ALL. DEALER ADVISED IT WAS TO DANGEROUS TO RIDE ALONG ON TEST DRIVES. HONDA AMERICA WOULD NOT FURNISH EXPECTED STOPPING DISTANCES TO DETERMINE IF FCW WAS WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MANY VARIABLES AND THIS INFORMATION WAS PRIVATE COMPANY INFORMATION. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVISE AND SHOULD WORK PROPERLY. HONDA AMERICA REFUSED MY REQUEST TO SEND TO AN EMPLOYE TO TEST DRIVE. UPDATED 9/28/15 *LN UPDATED 12/08/2017*CN *TR

UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE HESITATED THEN STALLED. UPON RESTARTING AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE SURGED FORWARD. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE LOST POWER MOMENTARILY THEN REENGAGED. THE A.C./CLIMATE CONTROL IS AGAIN NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, AND THE HANDS-FREE PHONE FUNCTION DISCONNECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CAR WAS TAKEN THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO TO HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONING DEFECT REPAIRS COMPLETED. AT THAT TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE TRUNK LID THAT HAS BEEN FALLING DOWN SINCE I TOOK POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2014. THE TRUNK LID FALLS AT WILL.

THE VEHICLE IS ABLE TO BE TURNED OFF WITH OUT PUTTING IN PARK. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC WITH PUSH BUTTON START. WHEN STOPPING AT AN ARRIVED LOCATION YOU ARE ABLE TO PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF YOUR VEHICLE WITH OUT PUTTING IT IN PARK WHICH THEN DISENGAGES THE GEARS. IF YOU HAPPEN TO FORGET TO PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE CAR OFF IN DRIVE WHEN YOU GET OUT, THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL AWAY. ANY OTHER PUSH BUTTON START VEHICLE I HAVE USED WOULD NOT ALLOW YOU TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN UNTIL IT WAS PLACED IN PARK. ROLL AWAY ISSUES SHOULD AND COULD BE EASILY FIXED.

WHEN PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE AT MY CONDO THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND WENT OVER THE PARKING SPACE CEMENT MARKER, OVER THE SHRUBS AND ONTO SIDEWALK. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKES HARD ENOUGH TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE CRASHING INTO THE BUILDING. I JUST NICKED THE EDGE OF THE CEMENT DOORWAY LEADING INTO THE WALKWAY TO MY CONDO BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE HOOD TO BUCKLE. THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR AND THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIR WAS $5500.00. MA 10/14 UPDATED 11/30/2017*CN

WHEN TRYING TO START MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX, I HAVE TO ATTEMPT IT SEVERAL TIMES TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BEFORE IT WILL START. SOMETIMES IT STARTS RIGHT AWAY, SOMETIMES IT TAKES 16 TIMES! I TOOK THE HONDA TO THE HOLLER HONDA DEALERSHIP (WHICH IS THE ONLY PLACE I TAKE IT TO FOR SERVICE SINCE I BOUGHT IT) AND THEY ARE STATING IT'S A "STARTER ISSUE" AND THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE "POWER TRAIN" WARRANTY AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $495 FOR A NEW STARTER, PLUS $200 LABOR. THE CAR BEING SO NEW DOES NOT HAVE "AFTER MARKET" PARTS AND SO I WOULD HAVE TO BUY IT NEW. MY LAST HONDA ACCORD EX V6 2005 MODEL DIDN'T HAVE ITS STARTER REPLACED UNTIL JULY 2012. SO I KNOW THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! I'VE EVEN RESEARCHED THE LIFE OF AN AVERAGE STARTER AND MOST OF THEM ARE AT 100K MILES OR 5 YEARS. SO I KNOW HONDA HAS TO HELP ME WITH THIS! I'VE BEEN CALLING HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION IN CALIFORNIA (MICHAEL) AND THE HOLLER HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ORLANDO (MAGGIE NERO - SERVICE MANAGER) AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN DRAGGING THEIR FEET WITH THIS. ANY INSIGHT ON THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I STARTED MY CAR IN PARK WHILE ON A HILL WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. THE CAR STARTED MOVING A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE I RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. IMMEDIATELY, I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I STOPPED THE CAR BY PUTTING ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PUTTING THE TRANS MISSION IN PARK. THE TOTAL TRIP WAS ABOUT 100 YARDS. I NOTICED THAT 5 OR 6 WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON INCLUDING THE BATTERY. THEN I QUICKLY TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I WAITED FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND EMBARKED ON A 25 MILE TRIP HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND WITHOUT WARNING I FELT MY VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO TURN AS I PREPARED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I LOOKED AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND NOTICE MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT ON. I APPLIED EXCESSIVE EFFORT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO TURN AND MANAGE TO STOP IN A PARKING LOT WHERE, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD. THE NEXT MORNING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME SITUATION ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT A VEHICLE AND CRASH INTO A POND. UPDATED 9/15/15 *LN.... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF UPDATED 11/07/2017*CN

I'M REACHING OUT TO YOU CONCERNING MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT VIN #: [XXX]. I RECENTLY HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT AND THE REAR BUMPER WAS SCRATCHED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP TO HAVE THE REAR BUMPER PAINTED. THE REPAIR SHOP CALLED ME AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MISSING THE ABSORBER ON THE REAR BUMPER, THAT IS THE FOAM PART THAT FITS BETWEEN THE OUTSIDE BUMPER AND THE METAL PLATE. THE PAINT SHOP TOLD ME THAT SOMETIMES NEW VEHICLES ARRIVE AT THE DEALER WITH BUMPERS & SIDE MIRRORS DETACH AND THEY GET ASSEMBLE AT THE DEALER OR ITS POSSIBLE THAT A BATCH OF VEHICLE WERE SHIPPED MISSING THE ABSORBER IN THE BUMPER AREA. IF YOU TOUCH AND PRESS YOUR FINGER IN THE REAR BUMPER YOU FEEL AN AIR SPACE GAP AND THE BUMPER DOES NOT FEEL HARD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY SUNROOF AND WINDOWS AUTOMATICALLY OPENED UP ON THEIR OWN ON MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SHOULD I BE DRIVING OR CAUSE MY CAR TO BE VANDALIZED SINCE IT IS OPEN "TO THE PUBLIC."

I JUST NOTICED TWO HAIRLINE CRACKS IN THE CLEAR PLASTIC THAT COVERS THE FRONT LIGHTS. EACH ONE IS BY THE YELLOW LIGHTS. ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE CAR. AS FAR AS I KNOW, NOTHING HAS HIT THE CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE.

RIGHT TURN SIGNAL CAMERA WOULD NOT RESET WHEN RIGHT TURN COMPLETED. ALSO HAPPENED IN JANUARY. HAD TO STOP CAR AND RESTART TO GET SYSTEM WORKING (DISPLAY RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATIONS.)

THIS IS A NIGHTMARE. HONDA ACCORD 2014.LAST NIGHT MY WINDOWS AND SUNROOF AUTOMATICALLY OPENED; THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER RANDOM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, SEE BELOW. THE OPENING OF THE WINDOWS OCCURRED DURING A RAIN STORM AND MY BRAND NEW HONDA IS FILLED WITH WATER. THE DASH IS BLANK AND THE PHOB KEY RADIO SEARCHING LIGHT IS NOT BLINKING; SO THERE WAS A SHORT THAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN. IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED BELOW, PAY ATTENTION TO THEM BECAUSE I KEPT THINKING THEY WERE JUST RANDOM LITTLE ISSUES BUT THEY WERE PRECURSORS TO THIS VERY BIG ISSUE. MY CAR IS TOTALED!!! PAY ATTENTION TO THE SMALL STUFF AND SAVE YOUR LIFE AND GET RID OF YOUR CAR. MY TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENED, PARKED AND DRIVING. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, EVEN AFTER BEING RESET AND TIRES CHECKED. I'D GET IN MY CAR AND FIND THE SUNROOF PARTIALLY OPENED OVER NIGHT. THERE IS A WEIRD RATTLE IN MY CAR IN THE FRONT AREA, SOUNDS LIKE ITS IN THE DASH BOARD, BUT COULD NEVER ISOLATE IT.

IT WAS AROUND 1:50 PM ON MAY 6 2015, I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY I75 N 341 EXIT GOING APROXIMATELY 70MPH WHEN ALL OVER SUDDEN A CAR {MINIVAN OR SUV}ON FRONT OF ME HIT OR RAN OVER A BIG PIECE OF A CAR TIRE THAT WAS ON THE ROAD, I SWITHED TO THE RIGHT LANE BUT IS WAS TO LATE THE BIG PIECEC OF TIRE WICH IT WAS PRETTY BIG HIT MY CAR, THE LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT ARE, HOOD AND BUMPED ON THE WINDSHIELD THEN, IT WHEN OVER THE CAR IT WAS A VERY LOUD NOISE. THAT AREA IN I 75 IS ALWAYS A PROBLEMS THERE IS ALWAYS TIRES AND OTHER MATERIALS IN THAT AREA. NOT TO LONG AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WAS A LONG METAL TUBE ON THE HIGHWAY AND UNFORTUNATELYOTHER CARS AND MY SELF WENT OVER IT.. THE TIRE IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM I THINK, THAT HIGHWAY SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAN FROM ALL THING FOR THE SAFETY OF COMMUTERS.

WINDSHIELD HAS COATING, OR APPEARS TO HAVE INTERNAL LAMINATE DEFECT IN MANUFACTURE. WHEN DAMP OR WET, VISIBILITY IS MADE WORSE BY USE OF WIPERS CAUSING EXTREMELY REDUCED VISIBILITY & EXCESSIVE GLARE FROM OPPOSING TRAFFIC. NIGHT DRIVING IN RAIN IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. *TR

ENGINE CRANKS BUT FAILS TO START, OR STARTS SLUGGISHLY WITH ROUGH IDLE AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF CRANKING IN COLD WEATHER. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FUEL PUMP PRESSURE PROBLEM. *TR

5/1/2014HESITATION (UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION) OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW SPEED. WHEN THE CAR IS AT A LOW SPEED AND MORE POWER IS NEEDED AND THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED THERE IS NO RESPONSE INITIALLY; ACCELERATOR IS THEN PRESSED MORE AND THE CAR THEN ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED, RESULTING IN A JERKY, ON/OFF TYPE ACTION. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE GENTLY AND HAVING THE CAR ACCELERATE MORE THAN EXPECTED (IN A PARKING LOT OR HEAVY SLOW TRAFFIC ETC). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WAS DEFECTIVE. THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE TIRES WERE PERFORMING NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS ACTUALLY LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER RESET THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY BOLT WAS LOOSE AND HAD TO BE TIGHTENED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

THE ENGINE SEIZED JUST FROZE AND DIED. THIS WAS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I WAS MAKING ANY KIND OF SHARP TURN. ON THE SECOND TO LAST OCCURRENCE 4/12/15 IT FAILED TO START AND WAS COMPLETELY DEAD WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY 5 TIMES. ON THE 6TH, IT MIRACULOUSLY STARTED. WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT THE ENGINE SEIZED AGAIN AND IT WAS STUCK FOR A SCARY MOMENT. THE SERVICE DEPT IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE HOOD AND POINTED OUT*** A KNOWN COMMON MANUFACTURING FLAW NEAR THE BATTERY, WHERE THE BOLT FOR THE BATTERY RANDOMLY LOSES CONTACT WITH THE SOURCE. HE SHOWED ME WERE IT "WOBBLES OUT OF PLACE- SEIZING THE ENTIRE CAR COMPLETELY!! THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I MADE UTURNS, TURNED CORNERS, AND PULLED IN OR OUT OF PARKING SPOTS. HOW COULD THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY FLAW BE IGNORED??!! I WAS TERRIFIED! THE REAL HORROR IS THAT THIS VERY DEALERSHIP DID AN OIL CHANGE THE WEEK PRIOR AND NO ONE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM!!! I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM THEM IN NOV. 2014.!!! THIS IS TRUE NEGLIGENCE. I AM FURIOUS. I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN TWICE PRIOR TO THIS TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED OVER BECAUSE IT IS MY FOURTH NEW ACCORD, AND I NEW IT WAS NOT RIGHT WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH. PLEASE HELP. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND LIFE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. [XXX] CAR WAS LEASED IN LATE NOVEMBER 2014 FROM CRAMER HONDA OF VENICE AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO ADDRESS MY COMPLAINTS IN A SATISFACTORY WAY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM O

VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. HAD TO SWERVE TO LEFT. COPY OF THIS COMPLAINT FORM ALONG WITH SERVICE INVOICE FROM HONDA OF STATEN ISLAND WILL ALSO BE MAILED TO OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION/CRD. CANNOT SCAN INVOICE.

WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A SLIGHT HILL AT 20 DEGREE AND UP , THE TRUNK IS UNABLE TO STAY OPEN FOR ME TO LOAD THINGS IN .. IT HAS FELL ON MY FOREHEAD MULTIPLE TIMES HURTING ME.. I ALWAYS HAVE TO HOLD UP THE TRUNK WITH ONE ARM WHILE LOADING THINGS INTO THE TRUNK. I'VE BEEN TO HONDA DEALERS AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME ITS THE WAY IT IS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AT LOW SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING WOULD MALFUNCTION AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT FOR A SPECIFIC INCIDENT. THE CAR HAS EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE SINCE I PURCHASED IT AT THE END OF AUGUST 2014. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA AMERICA AND AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE THEY HAVE DETERMINED SOME OF THEIR CARS HAVE MORE WIND NOISE THAN OTHERS AND THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. HOWEVER, FOR ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE WIND NOISE BECOMES QUITE LOUD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND PRESENTS A DISTRACTION. THE NOISE IS PRONOUNCED AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE B-PILLAR AND SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE SOMEBODY BLOWING AIR DIRECTLY IN MY LEFT EAR. I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE HERE AS HONDA IS DISMISSING MY CASE. *TR

WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN "N" (NEUTRAL) FROM "D", THE KEEPS MOVING FORWARD. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW, IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND KEEPS DOING IT. I NEED TO PUT IT IN "R" AND THEN BACK TO "N" SO THAT IT DOESN'T MOVE. THIS IS A BAD THING , REALLY BAD , AS "N" IS SUPPOSE TO PUT THE CAR IN IDLE STATE BUT IT DOESN'T DO THIS. THE CAR IS A 2014 V6 ACCORD SEDAN. THANK YOU. *TR

POPPING AND CLUNKING NOISES IN DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT END WERE DUE TO IMPROPERLY TORQUED LOCK NUT ON DRIVER'S SIDE STRUT. DEALER INSPECTED IT AND DETERMINED IT WAS NOT COMPROMISED, SO REINSTALLED IT; THEREFORE IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE, BUT IMPROPERLY TORQUED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY IN LIGHT TRAFFIC AND GOOD ROAD CONDITION, HEARD A SHORT RUMBLING SOUND AND THEN SAW TIRE ROLLING OUT FROM REAR MIRROR. A FEW SECOND LATER TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SIGN SHOWN. THIS HAPPENED ALL WITHIN 10 SECONDS. SINCE LOCATED JUST NEAR EXIT, I DROVE OFF AND PARKED ON SIDE. I FOUND ONE REAR TIRE WAS COMPLETELY RIP OFF. THERE HAD BEEN NO ANY SIGN OF TIRE ISSUE BEFORE. CAR IS A FEW MONTHS NEW AND TIRE COMES WITH NEW CAR PURCHASE JUST ABOUT 7500 MILES. BROUGHT CAR TO GOODYEAR TIRE STORE FOR WARRANTY WORK AND WAS TOLD I MUST BRING TIRE TO CLAIM WARRANTY. WHEEL WITH REMNANT OF TIRE WON'T BE ENOUGH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, A LOW RUMBLING SOUND SUDDENLY HEARD AND IN A BLINK SAW A TIRE ROLLING IN REAR VIEW MIRROR. A FEW SECOND LATER FLAT TIRE WARNING SIGN CAME UP. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITH 10 SECONDS TIME. I TOOK IMMEDIATE EXIT AND PARK ON SIDE AND FOUND A REAR TIRE WAS RIPPED OFF WITH ABOUT 2,3 INCHES LEFT ON WHEEL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW 7 MONTHS AGO AND WAS ABOUT 7500 MILES AT TIME OF ACCIDENT. BEFORE THE INCIDENT, ALL TIRES AND CAR HAVE NOT HAVE ANY ISSUE. AT INCIDENT, TRAFFIC IS LIGHT, CLEAR WEATHER 2 PM, ROAD CONDITION IS GREAT. I TOOK WHEEL WITH RIM OF REMNANT OF TIRE TO NEARBY GOODYEAR DEALER AND WAS TOLD I COULD NOT CLAIM WARRANTY WITHOUT THE WHOLE TIRE WITH ME. THE TIRE IS GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 235/45/R18. *TR

TO: NHTSA I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD IN MARCH 2014 AND SOON AFTER I NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT FOR REPAIR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOOK ME ON A TEST DRIVE TO HEAR THE NOISE AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE RATTLING NOISE IS NOT ALWAYS PRESENT AND IT COMES UNPREDICTABLY THEREFORE EVERY TIME I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE IT AND REPLICATE THE NOISE WHICH IS SOMETIMES NOT POSSIBLE. I HAVE RECORDINGS OF THE NOISE AND THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT TO FIX THE CAR. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE HAD PERSONALLY TOLD ME THAT IT IS A DEFECT AND THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION FOR IT AND THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEIR ENGINEERING FIGURES OUT A FIX. I HIRED A LEMON LAWYER A FEW MONTHS AGO TO HELP ME. I AM INFURIATED THAT HONDA IS OFFERING ME TO SETTLE BY PAYING ME ?SOME MONIES FOR MY TROUBLE? WITHOUT GOING TO TRIAL BUT THEY STILL ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX OR REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE CAR. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT HONDA IS ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN THOUGH I EXPRESSED SAFETY CONCERNS AND EVEN WORSE THEY TRY TO PUT A PRICE TAG TO SETTLE FOR MY SAFETY INSTEAD OF ACKNOWLEDGING AND RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A TRIAL SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 22- 23, 2015, I FEEL LIKE THIS APPOINTMENT IS TOO FAR AND THE MORE I DRIVE THIS CAR THE HIGHER RISK IT POSSES FOR MY SAFETY. MY EXPERIENCE WITH HONDA HAS BEEN AN APPALLING ONE SO FAR AND I WANT TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION WITH THE PROCESS. AFTER HONDA?S HISTORY AND PENALT

UPON BEING HANDED THE KEYS TO MY BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD I NOTICED A LOT OF SCRATCHES NEAR THE DOORS. I THOUGHT IT ODD SINCE IT'S A KEYLESS ENTRY CAR. THE SALESPERSON AGREED THAT THERE SHOULDN'T BE SCRATCHES, AND SAID THOSE WOULD PROBABLY COME OUT, AND OFFERED ME A COURTESY "BUFFING." AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF MY NEW CAR, I NOTICED A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PULLING ONTO THE STREET. I ALSO NOTICED IT TOOK MORE WORK TO STEER THE CAR THAN MY OTHER CAR WHICH I BOUGHT NEW FIVE YEARS AGO. I ALSO NOTICED SOME TAPE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRONT BUMPER THAT HADN'T BEEN REMOVED. IN ADDITION, THE TRUNK LID WASN'T ADJUSTED PROPERLY, SO IT CONTINUALLY FALLS DOWN WHEN I'M AT THE TRUNK AREA. NOW I AM WONDERING IF MY NEW CAR WAS NOT ONLY NOT "DETAILED," BUT NOT PROPERLY INSPECTED BEFORE "DELIVERY." FURTHERMORE, AT 16,000 MILES, IT NOW HAS A CONSTANT POPPING NOISE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE FRONT END. THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL). *TR

TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CONSTANTLY GOES OFF. I GO TO HONDA EVERYTIME. NEVER SEEM TO BE ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SOME SENSORS DON'T WORK BUT THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED IT. *TR

I WAS STOPPED - WAS HIT HEAD ON BY AN OUT OF CONTROL DRIVER WHOSE CAR SPUN AROUND, HIT MY CAR ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND PUSHED ME INTO A STONE WALL DAMAGING THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE ALSO. THE AIRBAG ON MY CAR (DRIVER'S SIDE) DEPLOYED AND I GOT SECOND DEGREE BURNS ON MY WRISTS AND ARMS FROM THE AIRBAG AND AM NOW BEING TREATED AT A BURN CENTER FOR SECOND DEGREE BURNS. I HAD GLOVES ON AND THE BURN WENT THROUGH THE GLOVES PUTTING HOLES IN THEM. THIS WAS A TERRIBLE CRASH CAUSING OVER $11,000.00 DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MY MEDICAL BILLS ARE. I FEEL THIS AIRBAG HAD TO BE DEFECTIVE. IT ALSO CONCERNS ME THAT MY CAR WAS HIT HEAD ON AND ON BOTH SIDES AND ONLY THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DEPLOYED. ALL THE AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR MUST BE DEFECTIVE OR CERTAINLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA ACCORD IN MAY 2014 IN AUSTIN, TX. ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER, THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING AND LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEMS FAILED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THE CAMERAS WERE NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE HEAT IN TEXAS. THEY SUGGESTED A FIX OF TURNING THE AC ON TO COOL THE FRONT WINDOW. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THAT SEEMED TO FIX IT, BUT IT WAS ONLY VERY TEMPORARY. THESE SYSTEMS ARE ADVERTISED TO BE LIFE-SAVING SAFETY FEATURES, BUT THEY STILL DON'T WORK AFTER MORE THAN 6 MONTHS. IS THERE A RECALL IN THE WORKS? *TR
