2011 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I BOUGHT A 2011 HONDA ACCORD LX, IT WAS DELIVERED WITH 11 MILES. AFTER I DROVE THE CAR FOR LITTLE OVER 300 MILES IT WAS MAKING A LOT OF NOISE. THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND LEFT SIDE SUSPENSION WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE. I CONTACT HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE LOUD NOISE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. I THEN CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGH THE CAR FROM TO CHECK IT OUT. I MEET WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND I LET HIM LISTEN TO THE NOISE, HE THEN STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL WHICH I FIND VERY STRANGE. ABOUT A FEW DAYS LATER THE LOUD NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION ALSO CAME A NEW PROBLEM A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE LEFT SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION. I CONTACT THE DEALER AND TALK TO SERVICE REP AND EXPLAIN WHAT WAS GOING ON HE CHECK THE SERVICE RECORD AND SAY IT WAS NORMAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT WAS EXTREMELY HARD AND WAS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SIT PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED IN THAT MANNER AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE MODIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 400.

THE DRIVER SEAT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. IT CAUSES NUMBNESS ON THE LEGS AND THE BUTTOCK, AND LOWER BACK PAIN EVEN WITH A SHORT TRIP OF ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. CANNOT FIND A COMFORTABLE ADJUSTMENT WITH THE 10 WAY POWER SEAT. I FIND MYSELF KEEP SHIFTING SITTING POSITION IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIND A MORE COMFORTABLE POSITION. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING ON THE DRIVING. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING CAR DROVE HOME AFTER A FEW DAYS STARTED NOTICING PAIN SHOOTING DOWN LEGS AND LEGS GOING NUMB. ALSO CAUSING BACK PAIN AND ON OCCASIONS PAIN SHOOTING DOWN ARM. CONTACTED LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A FIX. THIS IS A DANGER BECAUSE IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE ON DRIVING AND SOMETIMES YOU CANNOT FEEL THE FUEL OR BRAKE PEDALS. *TR

UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVER'S SEAT IN HONDA ACCORD 2011 LX SEDAN . CAN'T DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 45 MINUTES AT A STRETCH WITHOUT SQUIRMING /SHIFTING IN SEAT AND THIS MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS . THE DRIVER'S SEAT CAUSES BACK PAIN PLUS THIGH PAIN AFTER EXTENDED DRIVING OR 45 MINUTES LUMBAR SUPPORT PILLOWS, THIGH SUPPORT PILLOWS DOES NOT HELP MUCH WITH BACK OR LEG PAIN. I HAD A CAMRY SOLARA AND I OWN A MERCEDES AND THEY DON'T GIVE ME BACK PROBLEMS. *TR

VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM AN UN-COMMANDED ACCELERATION/THROTTLE PROBLEM WHICH IS COMPLETELY REPRODUCIBLE. IT AFFECTS THE LOW SPEED BEHAVIOR OF THE VEHICLE PARTICULARLY DURING TURNS WHERE THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF CONTROL. THE DEFECT WAS CONFIRMED BY HONDA STAFF WHEN ROAD TESTING IT VERSUS OTHER SIMILAR NEW VEHICLES. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM HONDA TO CORROBORATE THAT. IN ANY CASE, AT THIS POINT, HONDA IS EITHER UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO ADDRESS AND RESOLVE THIS SAFETY DEFECT.

WIFE WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AS IF ENGINE WAS MISFIRING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN SEVERELY REDUCED POWER. SHE WAS BARELY ABLE TO EXIT AND MAKE IT ACROSS THE ACCESS ROAD AND INTO A TURN LANE WITH THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. CAR STILL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AS SHE PLACED IT IN PARK. DEALERSHIP CANNOT EXPLAIN SHAKING. CAR ONLY HAS 4,700 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM SERVICING DEALER. THEY SAID OIL WAS 1.5-2 QUARTS LOW SO THEY TOPPED IT OFF. TRIPPED A CODE FOR A STUCK SOLENOID IN THE CAMSHAFT TIMING SYSTEM SO THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PCM AND GAVE THE CAR BACK TO US. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS MY WIFE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC. HAD THERE BEEN MORE TRAFFIC IN HER WAY OR SOMEONE FOLLOWING CLOSELY, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. DEALER WAS STILL PUZZLED AS TO THE POWER LOSS AND SHAKING AND JUST SHRUGGED THEIR SHOULDERS. THEY SAID TO WATCH THE OIL LEVEL AND IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN TO BRING IT BACK. WE HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AS IT WAS DANGEROUS AND STRANDED MY WIFE ON THE SIDE OF AN INTERSTATE FOR 3 HOURS WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THIS WARRANTS INVESTIGATION OR YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *TR

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD 2011 LX-P IN THE SECOND WEEK OF MARCH. THE FRONT SEATS ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. THE LUMBAR SEEMS TO BE OUT OF PLACE AND HURT THE BACK AND NECK. FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE SEAT DESIGN IN NOT CORRECT. UNFORTUNATELY, DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE BUYING THE CAR, ELSE WOULD NOT HAVE GONE FOR ONE. THE SEATS DESIGN NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED BY HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND SAVE PEOPLE FROM THE BACK AND NECK PAINS. *TR
