AT APPROXIMATELY 100,000 MILES, AFTER IT IS WARMED UP, THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO THUMP/CLUNK WHEN IT DOWNSHIFTS FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR WHEN SLOWING AND APPROACHING A STOP ON URBAN STREETS.

I WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT TODAY AND TO MY SURPRISE MY AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF . DID NOT GO OFF AND I HAD THEM REPLACED AFTER THE RECALL FOR HONDA ACCORDS 2010

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION FAILED. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, IT HESITATED WHILE DRIVING AS IF IT WOULD STALL. ALSO, THE MAINTENANCE AND SPARK PLUG INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. FURTHERMORE, THE TAIL LIGHTS SHORTED OUT AND FAILED TO ILLUMINATE RANDOMLY. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURES WERE RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 11V395000 (POWER TRAIN) AND 11V004000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). CROWN HONDA OF SOUTHPOINT (1001 SOUTHPOINT AUTOPARK BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27713, (919) 883-4960) WAS CONTACTED AND INDICATED THAT AN APPOINTMENT NEEDED TO BE SCHEDULED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL OR WARRANTY CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE IN CITY AND HIGHWAY THE DOOR LOCKS KEEP LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. ELECTRONIC KEY LOCK ONLY LOCKS AND UNLOCKS THE THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOT THE DRIVER SIDE. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD CROSSTOUR ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA OF STOCKTON. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT MY CAR IS BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY. BANK 1 PRESSURE SWITCH /BANK 2 PRESSURE CODE P3400 /P3497 VPS STUCK OFF BOTH BANKS. CHECK ENGINE COME ON AND ECO WILL NOT WORK THEY CHARGED ME $150.00. HONDA TESTED THE VEHICLE AND HAS EVIDENCE OF THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I RESEARCHED THIS DUE TO THEM SAYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE IT WOULD COST ME $8000 AND FOUND THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ADD FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY RECALL STATES THAT 2010 HONDA ACCORD'S QUALIFY, BUT THEY WILL NOT MAKE REPAIRS FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH HAS CAUSED MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS TO FAIL AS WELL AS MY SPARK PLUGS AND PISTON RINGS. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND ADVISED THE MECHANIC THIS IS CALLED THE VTC ACUATOR AND SEEMS TO BE COMMON IN 2008 TO 2011 HONDA ACCORD'S.THE DEALER INSTRUCTED ME NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR IT COULD CATCH FIRE AND BLOW UP AND TO CONTACT CORPORATE WHICH IS MY NEXT STEP.

HAD TO REPLACE THREE IGNITION COILS WITHIN ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS. THEN, ONE OF THE ONES HAD BEEN REPLACED (#1 CYLINDER), DEVELOPED A PROBLEM. MECH TECH INFORMED/SHOWED ME THAT PLUG HAD FOULED - DUE TO POSSIBLE PISTON RING PROBLEM. LEARNED FROM CARS.COM THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH PISTON RINGS OF 2008 - 2012 ACCORDS AND HONDA HAD OFFERED A SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY TO CORRECT THEM. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY HONDA OF THIS CORRECTIVE ACTION, ERGO I MISSED THE EIGHT YEARS AND UNLIMITED MILEAGE FROM THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE-IN-SERVICE DATE DEADLINE (CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE 2010). TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WOULD COST MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AT 888-327-4236. REFERENCE TSB NO. 13-078. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE AT ALL? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR. THE CONTACT HAD THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED TWICE, BUT THE ENGINE STILL CONSUMED A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE DEALER (TOM KADLEC HONDA, 3333 WILDER RD NW, ROCHESTER, MN 55901, (507) 281-2500) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE RESULTS OF A MONTH LONG OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BASED ON 1,000 MILES. THE DEALER WAS IN THE PROCESS OF ANALYZING THE RESULTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,857.

TAKATA RECALL..I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING AND VSA LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON BUSY I95 WITH MY INFANT IN THE CAR NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS AFRAID AND I CALL HONDA IMMEDIATELY AND TOOK IT TO HONDA IN DE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG, THE SECOND TIME IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE ROAD I RETURNED TO HONDA AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS LOW ON OIL WHICH WAS STRANGE BECAUSE I ONLY GET OIL CHANGES FROM HONDA, THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I RETURNED THE CAR BACK TO HONDA AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS THE ENGINE AND IT WAS LEAKING OIL AND THE COST WOULD BE $3500. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A FEW HONDA OWNERS AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS IS A OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE OIL LEAKING AND ENGINE AND BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS INJURY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM IT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THEN THE CAR'S FRONT END PASSENGER SIDE DROPPED TO THE GROUND AND WAS DRAGGING WHEN I GOT OUT I REALIZE THE RIM WAS SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE INTO PIECES AND IT CAUSED THE BALL JOINT ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARM TO SEPARATE AND CAUSED OTHER DAMAGE
