2012 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE CONTACT GLANCED AT THE CLOCK AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED WHIPLASH, BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

WHILE DRIVING CAR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ENGINE RAN ROUGH NEXT THE TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON, WILL NOT TURN OFF. NOW AFTER CHECKING THE OIL ADDED LESS THAN A QAURT,STILL ROUGH MISFIRES.

THE CAR MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN I START THE ENGINE. IT STOPS AFTER A FEW SECONDS.I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS GOOD.

GLASS CAME OUT OF THE PASSENGER DOOR AIRBAG, BUT NO GLASS WAS BROKEN AND MY WINDOWS ARE ALL TINTED AND THIS WAS CLEAR GLASS IT WAS ALL OVER ME, IN MY EAR, SCALP ARMS AND WRISTS. I WAS HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER

THE SEATS IN MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD ARE CAUSING BACK PROBLEMS. I DROVE THE SATURN FOR 15 YEARS AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY SHOULDER OR MY LOWER BACK. THE PAIN IS GETTING SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO SIT ON TWO AND A HALF INCHES OF FOAM RUBBER AND PUT MY LEFT FOOT ON THE DASHBOARD TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE. I AM GOING TO BEGIN TREATMENT FOR THIS LOWER BACK PAIN WHICH NOW EXTENDS DOWN MY LEGS THE SEATS IN THIS CAR CAN BE COMPARED TO SITTING ON A WOODEN BENCH I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE I ONLY DROVE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT. AFTER DRIVING 80 MILES THE NEXT DAY I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW SORE MY BACK WAS AFTER GETTING OUT OF THIS CAR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND I COULD HAVE TRADED IT IN BUT OF COURSE ANY CAR AVAILABLE WOULD HAVE COST ME MORE MONEY THE PAIN DISCOMFORT IS NOT ONLY GOING TO COST ME MONEY FOR TREATMENT IT IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH MY LEFT FOOT EITHER UP ON THE SEAT OR ON THE DASHBOARD. IF I DON'T DO THIS THE PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK AND HIPS IT'S ALMOST INTOLERABLE - I BOUGHT THIS AS A USED CAR TWO YEARS AGO

ON 7/1/2017, I PURCHASED THE ABOVE VEHICLE WITH 12,000+ MILES FROM YONKERS HONDA @ 1980 CENTRAL PARK AVE, YONKERS, NY WITH THE PROVISO THAT THE TPMS LIGHT WHICH WAS ON WOULD BE CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO YONKERS HONDA SERVICE @ 500 YONKERS AVE., YONKERS, NY WHEREUPON A SENSOR WOULD BE REPLACED & THAT THIS ACTION TAKES 4 HOURS. I HAVE BEEN TO THE SERVICE STATION 3 TIMES - JULY 6, JULY 13 & JULY 25 & STILL THE PROBLEM IS UNRESOLVED. I AM BEGINNING TO WORRY THAT THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THIS FEATURE. 1ST HONDA SERVICE ORDERED THE WRONG PART, THEN THE "CORRECT" PART CAME LATE AND YESTERDAY, MY VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR SHOP FROM 7AM UNTIL 2PM AND STILL IT'S NOT RESOLVED. THIS DESERVES AN INVESTIGATION AS I FEAR MY TIRE/S BEING UNDERINFLATED OR WORSE OVERINFLATED AND NOT KNOWING SO. I FEEL THAT I WAS NOT TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE AND AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT THE LOW MILEAGE PERHAPS ATTRIBUTED TO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

HIGH PITCHED SOUND NOTICED WHILE DRIVING HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE SHORTLY AFTER CAR WAS PURCHASED (WE ARE 1ST OWNERS). DISCOVERED STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING. REPAIR SHOP RECOMMENDS NEW RACK AND PINION. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT SINCE CAR HAS SUCH LOW MILEAGE (ONLY 36,000 NOW AND WE'VE BEEN HAVING TO STEERING FLUID OFF FOR SOME TIME). VERY DISAPPOINTING.

THE CAR ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING ON OUR CITY STREET. ALSO WE ARE UNABLE TO PUSH DOWN THE BREAK. ( LUCKY NO ONE BEHIND US AND WE ARE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY) . WE HAD TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF POSITION AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THANK YOU

HARD TO STEAL AT FIRST . SPEED OF WINDSHIELD WIPER CHANGES AT WILL WHILE IN USE.

THE FOAM COVERING THE METAL FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S BACK REST HAS EITHER SHIFTED OR IS SO THIN THAT IS HAS WORN THROUGH AND THAT ALLOWS DIRECT CONTACT BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S BACK AND THE METAL FRAME. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, I FEEL THAT THE DIRECT CONTACT OF THE METAL SEAT FRAME WILL RESULT IN INJURY OR INCREASED INJURY TO THE DRIVER.
