2012 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

BACKING INTO DRIVEWAY THE CAR ACCELERATED TO FULL SPEED BY ITS SELF. PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW. TRAVELLED ABOUT 60 FEET AND CRASHED INTO OUR DOUBLE GARAGE DOING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE GARAGE AND THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. NOT SURE WHAT SPEED CAR ACCELERATED TO, BEST GUESS 30 MPH.

TAKATA RECALL MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD HAS CONSISTENT VIBRATION/SHIMMING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60+MPH. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED FROM A HONDA DEALER IN JANUARY OF 2017. I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AND HAD THEM BALANCE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST AND HONDA OF AMERICA ISN'T WILLING TO HELP. I HAVE READ MANY TESTIMONIES ON LINE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND NO HELP FROM HONDA USA.

TAKATA RECALL MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD HAS A CONSISTENT VIBRATION/SHIMMING WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY. I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH BRAND NEW TIRES, HAD THE TIRES BALANCE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST AT 60+MPH. I HAVE READ MANY TESTIMONIES ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES AND HONDA OF AMERICA NOT WILLING TO HELP.

POHANKA HONDA (CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD) - ADDRESSED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. HOWEVER, IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING SERVICED, THE WARNING LIGHT(S) REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG REMAINED ON (WHEN IT SHOULDN'T), AND DID NOT INDICATE (OFF) WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE. I REPORTED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD - THAT IT IS UNRELATED TO THE RECALL THEY HAD ADDRESSED, AND IT WAS A "SENSOR" ISSUE SEPARATE FROM THE RECALL WORK. THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE FOR ME PRIOR TO HAVING THE RECALL ADDRESSED, BUT NOW I HAVE THIS ISSUE AND I'D HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE CORRECTLY, HOW DO I KNOW I AM NOT DRIVING AT RISK...WHY AM I ORDERED TO PAY TO RESOLVE SOME ISSUE THAT WAS NOT APPARENT BEFORE TAKING MY CAR TO THIS DEALERSHIP.

'TAKATA RECALL'. I HAVE TAKEN MEASURES FOR THE SAFETY RECALLS, ADHERING TO REQUIRED DATES PROVIDED BY NHTSA OF THIS VEHICLE, ONE BEING THE AIR BAGS RECALLS. I WAS INVOLVED IN A RECENT CAR WRECK (JANUARY 12TH, 2019)AT WHICH THE DRIVER FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED FROM STEERING WHEEL. THE OPPOSING PASSENGER RAN A RED LIGHT AT A STREET/INTERSECTION PERPENDICULAR TO THE STREET I WAS TRAVELING ON. I T-BONED HER 2010 HONDA ACCORD IN THE REAR PANEL, DRIVER'S SIDE. I WAS TRAVELING AT SPEED LIMIT, APPROX 42 MPH AND SHE WAS TRAVELING AT EXCESSIVE SPEED BUT I AM UNAWARE OF HER SPEED LIMIT. MY VEHICLE CONTINUED IN A STRAIGHT PATH BUT COMPLETELY TOTALED THE FRONT END AND DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT PANEL, FRAME, ETC. AS FOR MY MY INJURY, I FELT BURNT ON BOTH WRISTS AT THE TIME OF IMPACT, BUT DUE TO SHOCK OF ACCIDENT I DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. OVER A COURSE OF 4-5 DAYS MY LEFT WRIST SHOWED SIGNIFICANT BURNS AND ONLY NOW, 23 DAYS LATER, HAS THE LEFT WRIST BURN BEGUN TO HEAL BUT WILL MOST DEFINITELY LEAVE AN OBVIOUS SCAR.

MASTERCRAFT SRT TOURING M+S 225/60R18 TIRE. THE TIRE HAD BEEN ON THE CAR, BOUGHT NEW, SINCE 2014. THE CAR IS USED EVERYDAY SO IT DID NOT SIT AND DRY ROT NOR DOES THE TIRE HAVE ANY SIGNS OF DRY ROT. WIFE WAS ON INTERSTATE IN THE SLOW LANE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE. SHE HAD JUST LEFT HOME WITH THE CHILDREN AND HAD DRIVEN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MILES WHEN THE TIRE CAME APART AT THE SIDEWALLS ON BOTH SIDES. EXAMINATION OF THE TIRE SHOWS THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT PUNCTURED THE TIRE NOR WAS IT GOING FLAT OR LOW ON AIR AS THERE WAS NO SENSOR INDICATING THAT IT WAS LOW ON AIR. WE DO USE NITROGEN IN THE TIRES AND THE TIRES HAD ABOUT HALF + TIRE LIFE REMAINING. THE TIRE HAS BEEN SAVED BY ME ALONG WITH THE VALVE SENSOR FOR EXAMINATION IF WARRANTED. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE TIRE STORE WAITING FOR A DIFFERENT BRAND TIRE THAT WAS ORDERED TODAY AND TO BE INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE ON 2/5/2019. SO I DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENT TO UPLOAD TODAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT CALLED BURNS HONDA (325 NJ-73, MARLTON, NJ 08053, 1-888-667-2937) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED.

VTC ACUATOR IS FAULTY. FOR 2 YEARS NOW I'VE HAD A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I START THE CAR AND NO CAR SHOP HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG UP UNTIL YESTERDAY I FOUND OUT IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR THAT'S MAKING THE GRINDING SOUND AND IT'S BEEN DRAINING MY OIL. I CALL AMERICA HONDA TO SEE IF IT HAS A RECALL FOR THIS FAULTY PART AND ALL I AM TOLD IS THAT IF I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 3 YEARS OR UNDER 35 THOUSAND MILES THEN IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHICH THE CAR IS 2012. SO THE $700 THAT ALL SHOPS WANT TO FIX THIS PART IS BEING PUT ALL ON THE OWNER WITH NO WARNING THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS HAD A LAWSUIT BEFORE FOR THE EXCESSIVE OIL BEING LOST BUT NOT FOR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WHICH IS THE VTC ACTUATOR. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THE CARS THAT THEY HAVE SOLD WITH THE FAULTY VTC ACUATORS AND PAY FOR THIS MISTAKE THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS. WHEN MY ENGINE DIES IT WILL BE ON HONDA FOR NOT PROPERLY MAKING AND SELLING THESE FAULTY CARS.
