2012 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE 2012 HONDA ACCORD LX HAS 24000 MILES ON IT. AND THE RIGHT FRONT PADS COMPLETELY WORE OUT. ALL OTHERS PADS ON CAR WAS OK. I REPLACED FRONT ROTORS AND PADS ON FRONT. MAKES A NOISE NOW WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. ROTORS AND PADS NORMALLY LAST 60000 MILES. WHAT IS UP WITH THE 2012 ACCORD. ANY RECALLS ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM?

THE FRONT SEATING IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT IS CAUSES BACK AND NECK PAIN, AND I FEAR IF THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE HEAD REST, WHICH IS POINTED SO FAR FORWARD AS TO CAUSE NECK PAIN IF THE PERSON USES THE SEAT IN A STRAIGHTER POSITION. THE LUMBAR SUPPORT CAUSES ME BACK PAIN BECAUSE I CANNOT ADJUST IT OUT. IT HITS ME IN A BAD PLACE IN THE BACK AND CAUSES BACK PAIN. I AM AN AVERAGE HEIGHT MALE (5'11").

VERY EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY CAUSE ALL WINDOWS TO FULLY OPEN IN LOCKED CAR WHEN KEYFOB IS IN POCKET. THIS HAS CAUSED CAR INTERIOR TO BECOME SOAKED INCLUDING CONTENTS AND GIVES FULL ACCESS TO ALL CONTENTS AND TRUNK. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN A CITY ENVIRONMENT AS SOMEONE COULD ENTER CAR AND HIDE IN BACK AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND LOCKED.

I PURCHASED THIS HONDA ACCORD AS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE FROM A HONDA DEALER ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE VEHICLE VERY MUCH, CONSEQUENTLY THE PROBLEM DIDN'T BECOME VERY APPARENT UNTIL YESTERDAY. THE LUMBAR SUPPORT CAUSES SEVERE BACK PAIN. I TRIED ADJUSTING THE LUMBAR BUT EVEN AT THE LOWEST AVAILABLE SETTING THE THING SIMPLY RAMS INTO YOUR LOWER BACK. THIS PROBLEM ISN'T NOTICEABLE DURING A TEST DRIVE OF 5-10 MINUTES. IT BECOMES VERY APPARENT AFTER ABOUT 30-40 MINUTES. I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE VEHICLE FOR 18 HOURS AND STILL HAVE DISCOMFORT IN THE AREA WHERE THE LUMBAR SUPPORT CONTACTS MY BACK. THIS MAY CAUSE PERMANENT INJURY! HOPEFULLY, HONDA WILL RECTIFY THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM FOR THE NUMEROUS UNFORTUNATE PURCHASERS OF THIS EXPENSIVE VEHICLE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ONE SEPARATE OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

VIN: [XXX] YEAR: 2012 MAKE: HONDA MODEL: ACCORD SEDAN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WHEN ACCELERATOR IS ENGAGED CAR DOES NOT RESPOND FOR APPX. 5 SECONDS THEN ACCELERATES AT RAPID PACE CAUSING A SUDDEN JERK IN ACCELERATION. I HAVE BEEN BEHIND OTHER CARS WHEN THIS HAS HAPPEN WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN REAR-IN ACCIDENT. ALSO CROSSING MEDIAN WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC ON OTHER SIDE WHEN CAR WOULD STALL WHILE CROSSING ALMOST CAUSING ON-COMING CAR TO HIT ME ON PASSENGER SIDE. SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED USED AND OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM, TOWNSEND BMW, WOULD NOT REPAIR PROBLEM OR EVEN LOOK AT IT AFTER SALE. THIS OCCURS AT DIFFERENT TIMES SO HAVE TO DRIVE FOR A WHILE BEFORE IT WILL OCCUR. WILL BE TAKING TO DEALER SOON WHEN I CAN AFFORD COST OF PARTS AND REPAIRS. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IF I HOLD BRAKE AND GIVE SOME ACCELERATION I AM ASSURED THE CAR WILL NOT STALL ON TAKE OFF. THIS IS THE ONLY SAFE WAY TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN THIS CONDITION.HOWEVER, IT IS NOT NORMAL BY NO MEANS. THANK YOU FOR READING AND HOPE THIS ISN'T HAPPENING TO OTHERS BUT CERTAINLY NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL IF OTHERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS. MANY POSSIBLE SITUATIONS WHERE THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO DRIVER, PASSENGER AND OTHERS IN FRONT OF THE CAR.

ON 8/03/2015 I WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER SUV THAT FAILED TO STOP WHILE I WAS WAITING BEHIND A RED LIGHT. THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO FORCE MY CAR TO HIT THE OTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND CONSEQUENTLY I WAS TAKEN BUT THE AMBULANCE TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. I AM WRITING YOU THIS BECAUSE AFTER MY RELEASE FROM THE HOSPITAL I NOTICED DUE TO THE HIGH SPEED IMPACT THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN MY CAR HAD BEEN TURNED ON YET THE AIR BAG ITSELF NEVER DEPLOYED. THEREFORE I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT AND INQUIRY ABOUT THE HONDA AUTO COMPANY. I BELIEVE I MIGHT HAVE SKIPPED VERY SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURIES PERHAPS BY LUCK YET THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAG OF MY HONDA NEVER DEPLOYED IS REY DISTURBING TO ME. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER.

I PULLED UP TO PARK AT A BIKE TRAILHEAD AND AS I TOUCHED THE BRAKE THE ACCELERATOR WENT TO THE FLOOR, LURCHING THE CAR FORWARD AND FORCING THE LEFT FRONT TIRE OVER THE RAILROAD TIE PARKING MARKER. THE CAR HIGH CENTERED AND I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE ENGINE KEPT RACING. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR IN PARK WITH ENGINE STILL RACING AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AGAIN, IT RESPONDED NORMALLY. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES IN THE CAR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM.

I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND BRAKING FOR A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES AS IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAD THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES, THIS ACCELERATION ATTEMPT WHEN I WAS BRAKING, DID NOT HAPPEN FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE. I DID NOT NOTICE THE ENGINE REVVING OR SEE THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATED. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET WHERE THE POSTED PEED LIMIT IS 25 MPH AND I WAS DRIVING WITHING THE SPEED LIMIT.
