2012 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

2012 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE, WITH THE VEHICLE STILL ON, AS HIS WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, WITH THE AIR CONDITION ON. FIVE MINUTES LATER, THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING DOWN AN INCLINE, AND WENT THROUGH A FENCE. THE CONSUMERS HANDWRITING IS ILLEGIBLE.

A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS VECHILE, I NOTICED BACK PAIN. EVERY TIEM I GOT INTO THE CAR, I TRIED TO REPOSTION THE SEATS TO GET COMFORTABLE. HOWEVER, I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL EVERY TIME. I TRIED EVEN ADDING A PAD BETWEEN THE SEAT AND MY BACK AND BEHIND TO MAKE IT MORE COMFORTABLE. ALL I FIND MYSELF DOING IS MOVING AND REPOSITIONING AT STOP LIGHTS OR RED LIGHTS ON MY HOUR DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK. I AM NEVER COMFORTABLE IN THE CAR. MY HEEAD ALWAYS FEELINGS LIKE ITS BEING PUSHED FORWARD BECAUSE OF THE HEAD REST AND MY LOWER BACK FEELS LIKE I AM SITTING IN LOWER THAN THE REST OF ME. I HAVE GONE TO MY DOCTOR NUMEROUS TIMES WITH BACK PAINS AND NECK PAINS. I KNOW HAVE TO CONSTANTLY SLEEP WITH A HEATING PAD TO RELIEVE THE SORENESS FROM THIS CAR. EVERY OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED I FEEL SAFE AND EXPERIENCE NO PROBLEMS, EXCEPT THIS ONE. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL TIMES FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN IT IS EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR THE MOST PART WHEN EXITING AN EXPRESSWAY AND COMING TO A STOP AT THE BOTTOM OF A RAMP AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO ENTER TRAFFIC OR CROSS OVER TRAFFIC LANES. THE REMEDY SEEMS TO BE TO RELEASE PRESSURE FROM THE PEDAL AND DEPRESS IT AGAIN RAPIDLY. *JB

PASSENGER SIDE TIRE KEPT LOOSING AIR , WE KEPT AIRING IT UP NO LUCK WE FOUND OUT THE WHEEL HAS A BUBBLE . NOW THE DRIVER SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THE SAME . NO ACCIDENT A RUFF DRIVING!! *TR

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE ON THE RAMP TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND, NO OVERPASSES WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION SOUND AND THEN WIND NOISE. NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED I PULLED OVER, LOOKED AROUND THE CAR AND WENT BACK INSIDE AND STARTED DRIVING BUT THE WIND NOISE GOT LOUDER AND WHEN I OPENED THE SLIDER A LITTLE, I SAW THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. I PULLED OVER AGAIN AND CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE CAR THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT A ROCK MUST OF HIT IT. I TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS NO CARS OR TRUCKS AROUND ME AND HE SAID THAT IT MUST OF FLEW UP FROM SOMEWHERE. *TR

I TOOK MY HONDA IN FOR A SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. I TOLD HIM ABOUT A WINDING NOISE IN MY FRONT END AND A STRANGE SUBSTANCE ON MY TIRE RIMS. AFTER HAVING THE CAR A FEW HOURS THEY CALLED ME STATING THAT MY POWER STEERING RACK WAS COMPLETELY GONE IN ME CAR AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR HAS 10,992 MILES ON IT. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 70 MILES AN HOUR.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH, THE GLASS IN MY SUNROOF BURST. THERE WAS A LOUD POP, AND THEN I COULD HEAR HIGHWAY NOISE. THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO CARS AROUND ME AND NOTHING ABOVE ME, AND I HAD NOT GONE UNDER AN OVERPASS. MOST OF THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS GONE, AND THE REMAINING GLASS AND SEAL HAD SUNKEN DOWN INTO THE CAR AND WAS IN A CONCAVE SHAPE LIKE IT HAD BURST FROM THE INSIDE OUT. *TR

ROTOR MALFUNCTION PREMATURE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 25K MILES ON IT, AND THE BRAKES ARE STILL GOOD. *TR

I HAVE FOUND THAT AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHT SENSOR OVERCOMPENSATES WHEN DETECTING HEADLIGHT BEAMS CAST BY THE OPPOSING LANES OF TRAFFIC. THE SENSOR THEN FORCES THE HEADLIGHT SENSOR TO IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF OUR VEHICLE'S HEADLIGHTS, LEAVING THE DRIVING SHROUDED IN COMPLETE DARKNESS. WHEN DRIVING AT 70 OR MORE MILES AN HOUR ON A HIGHWAY, THESE MOMENTARY SECONDS OF DARKNESS ARE ALL THAT ARE NEEDED TO CAUSE A FATAL MISTAKE OR A DEAD DRIVER. I REPORT AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE INCIDENTS IN THE LAST 14 MONTHS ALONE: DURING FEBRUARY 2013, WHILE DRIVING UNDER ICY CONDITIONS AT NIGHT IN POTOMAC, MY VEHICLE PASSED OPPOSING TRAFFIC VEHICLE AND THE HEADLIGHT SENSOR ACTIVATED. AFTER LOSING FRONTAL VISIBILITY, MY VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE CONTROL AND BEGAN TO SPIN ON THE ICY ROAD, ALMOST GETTING US KILLED. IN AUGUST 2012, WHILE DRIVING ON A TEXAS HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, A LARGE TRUCK CARGO FULL OF CRATES AND BOXES BEGAN TO TOPPLE ONTO THE ROAD SIDE IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. THE HEADLIGHT SENSOR HAD, AS BEFORE, ACTIVATED, RESULTING IN PRACTICALLY NO FRONT VISIBILITY. SEEING ALMOST NOTHING, I DODGED THOUGH THE FALLING CARTON BOXES AT A 70 MPH SPEED, ALMOST GETTING KILLED AND WETTING MY PANTS WITH URINE. ON A RECENT TRIP TO THE EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND, WHILE ON THE CHESAPEAKE BAY BRIDGE AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. SHE ATTEMPTED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE INSIDE THE OUTER TRAFFIC LANE BUT WAS NARROWLY CLIPPED BY A WIDE, LARGE TRUCK ON THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC, DENTING THE FRONT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND DAMAGING ONE OF THE SIDE MIRRORS. THIS NEAR-MISS HOWEVER, COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF TWO MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY. THIS SUPPOSED SAFETY FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE IS IN FACT QUITE DANGEROUS, POTENTIALLY FATAL. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD, NOR DO I FEEL SAFE ALLOWING ANY OF THE MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. *TR

WE HAVE A 2012 HONDA ACCORD WITH A LOUD CLICKING NOISE IN THE FRONT BRAKES WHEN YOU CHANGE DIRECTIONS , WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THEM THAT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE THAT IT WAS BRAKE PAD SHIFT AND IT IS NORMAL FOR THAT YEAR ACCORD, I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AS MY WIFE DRIVES IN IT WITH MY STEPDAUGHTERS AND MY YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN, I'M CONCERNED THAT THE CONSTANT MOVEMENT WILL WEAR DOWN THE METAL AND CAUSE A BRAKE FAILURE. *TR
