INCREDIBLE UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT. WITH IN 30 MIN OF DRIVING, MY LOWER BACK, BOTTOM, NECK, THIGHS AND TOES, GET SO SORE, I HAVE TO STOP, WALK AND STRETCH FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN CONTINUE. I HAVE BEEN AVOIDING DRIVES LONGER THAN 30 MIN, BUT SOMETIMES TRAFFIC EXISTS AND IT IS NOT EASY TO ACCOMPLISH. I HAVE REACH THE POINT OF NO RETURN. IT IS A SHAME AS I LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT... *TR

SINCE CHANGING THE BRAKES AT 55000 MILES...I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. ROTORS WERE FINE BUT I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT IN 3 TIMES FOR WOBBLING IN THE FRONT ...THEY HAVE MACHINED THE ROTORS CHANGED BREAK PADS...DONE EVERYTHING AND IT CONTINUES TO WOBBLE....CHECKED TIE RODS? EVERYTHING IMAGINABLE AND STILL HAVING ISSUES....THEY CLAIM THE BRAKES ARE GETTING HOT....WELL THAT IS A BUNCH OF BULL AS I HAVE LIVED IN AZ WITH HONDAS FOR MY WHOLE LIFE...THIS IS MY 4TH BRAND NEW ONE.....NEVER PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. *TR

IN LATE MAY 2014 I HAD THE BRAKES (PADS/ROTORS) REPLACED ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD, 2 MONTHS LATER IN AUGUST, I HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS AGAIN, - ROTORS WERE WARPED AGAIN, MANAGED TO GET THEM COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, - 2 MONTHS LATER 10/31 MORE BRAKE ISSUES SO TOOK THEM TO THE DEALER (SO NO AFTER MARKET PARTS), ROTORS WARPED, RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS AND PADS, - DONE, 2 MONTHS LATER IN DECEMBER 2014 BACK TO THE DEALER (NOW I'VE PAD FOR THEM 2X IN 6 MONTHS)- REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED, NOW, 2 MONTHS LATER IN FEBRUARY - BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME (1S 2 WERE NOT A DEALER). THIS TIME THEY WERE WARPED, BUT NOT AS BAD - SO THEY MACHINED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THIS TIME I WENT EARLY, WHEN I FIRST STATED NOTICING IT. NO ONE FIGURES OUT WHY... SO, IN TOTAL, MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN WORKED ON 5 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD A HONDA CORPORATE REP TAKE THE CAR FOR A RIDE, THEY WERE ADVISED THERE WAS NOT A BRAKE PROBLEM. BUT THAT RIDE WAS NOT TILL AFTER THEY MACHINED THE ROTORS, OF COURSE THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM - THIS TOTALLY HAS NO LOGIC TO EVEN HAVE THAT DONE! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED - UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT, AND HOW MUCH TIME AND MONEY DO I HAVE TO WASTE, AND BEFORE SOMEONE TRIES TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE CAR IS GOING THRU BRAKES- MAYBE GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT? IN ADDITION TO THESE ONGOING BRAKE ISSUE, I'VE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE THE 3 PISTONS REBUILT (UNDER A RECALL , BUT I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE MISFIRE PROBLEM FOR 4 MONTHS BEFORE THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING) AND THE STEERING RACK REPLACED (THANK GOD I HAD 100 MILES LEFT ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY). *TR

LETTER FROM SENATOR CASEY ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE HONDA AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. *JB

PURCHASED VEHICLE 5/8/2014. DRIVING HOME AND I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND STATED THAT THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE CRAP--WASN'T SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND JUST HAD A HORRIBLE SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE. HE STATED WE WILL CHECK OIL AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WHEN YOU GET HOME. TO FIND NO OIL OR TRANSMISSION ON EITHER. WE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED DEALER WE PURCHASED FROM AND WE HAD IT TOWED THERE FOR ATTENTION. CAR DEALER CHANGED OIL(WHICH WASN'T MUCH) AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WERE "FINE". PASSING THE BUCK! WE CONTINUED TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT TO FIND WE ARE PUTTING QUARTS OF OIL IN IT. IT HAS HAD 3 OIL CHANGES IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AND NOT DUE TO MILEAGE---DUE TO EACH PLACE WE TOOK IT TO-DEALER-CHANGED OIL, JIFFY LUBE-CHANGED OIL-HONDA-CHANGED OIL AND STARTED "OIL CONSUMPTION" TEST. I HAVE CHECKED OIL IN MY CARS, SINCE I WAS 16 YEARS OLD. HONDA STATING "IT'S NORMAL"--IT'S NOT NORMAL TO HAVE TO KEEP ADDING OIL TO YOUR CAR BETWEEN ONE OIL CHANGE TO ANOTHER, DUE TO MILEAGE ONLY. YOU CAN VISUALLY SEE OIL EVERYWHERE ON THE ENGINE BLOCK AND LAYING ON OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE ENGINE. FIX THE CAR!!!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V00400 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM PUTTING 1-2 QUARTS OIL EVERY 3000 MILES, EVEN THOUGH THE OIL LIFE INDICATES 80% OR BETTER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND JUST NOTICED THIS ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO. THE OIL IS NOT LEAKING, IT IS JUST GONE. ALSO WHEN I START THE CAR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR WHEN IS COLD, THE TOP OF THE ENGINE MAKES A RATTLING NOISE. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD PRONOUNCED NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS EITHER THE ENGINE OR THE TRANSMISSION, SOMETHING DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. *TR

IT WAS A COLD WINTER MORNING, 9 DEGREES TO BE EXACT. I'M IN THE CAR WITH MY 2YR OLD DAUGHTER. I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT, I MAKE IT 50 FEET AND THE BRAKES BEGIN TO FAIL. IM PUMPING THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO A CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT A STAND STILL. I HIT THE BRAKES A SECOND AND THIRD TIME I GLIMPSE DOWN WONDERING WHY IS THE CAR NOT SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING I CONTINUE STOMPING ONTO THE BRAKE. I STARTED TO SCREAM IN REALIZATION THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. I COLLIDE INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR THAT WAS AT A STAND STILL. THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I WAS NOT EVEN A FULL 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOME I COULD NOT COMPREHEND HOW MY BRAKES JUST FAILED AFTER I REPEATEDLY PRESSED DOWN ON THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCED THIS. I CROSSED AN INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THANK GOD I HAD THE GREEN LIGHT AND THERE WAS NO ONE CROSSING. THE 2 PEOPLE IN THE CAR I COLLIDED INTO WERE ALSO FINE. *TR
