MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR LITERALLY EXPLODED. *TR

DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEATS ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CAUSE LEG, HIP, AND NECK PAIN IF DRIVEN FOR OVER 15 MINUTES. HAVE OWNED 8 DIFFERENT HONDAS OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ODYSSEYS, ACCORDS, AND CIVICS. VERY POOR AND AWKWARD SEAT DESIGN. *TR

JUST STARTED LEASING A 2012 ACCORD SE A WEEK AGO. DRIVER SEAT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, WHEN I DROVE THE CAR INITIALLY, I DID NOT FEEL IT BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY FOR 5-7 MINUTES OR SO, BUT OBVIOUSLY AFTER 30 MINUTES OR SO, ONE CAN FEEL THE BACK AND NECK PAIN. I TRIED TO ADJUST THE SEAT IN MANY WAYS, BUT DID NOT FIND A POSITION FOR DRIVING THE CAR COMFORTABLY. *JS

A DRIVER PULLED OUT INFRONT OF ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND IN A HEAD ON COLLISION THE DRIVER AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD WITH DUNLOP STE SPORT AVS TIRES, SIZE: P215 60 R16. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 45 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE SHREDDED AND RUPTURED.

ABS LIGHTS ON PURCHASE AFTER 5 MONTHS. I PURCHASE MY CAR ON 12/30/11. ON 30/5/12 I SAW THE LIGHTS ON, I DROPPED MY CAR FOR 1 DAY AT BOARDWALK HONDA SERVICE. NEXT DAY, WHEN I WENT TO TAKE MY CAR THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT RODENTS HAD EATEN THE WIRING. THE PLACE WHERE I PARK MY CAR, THERE WERE THREE OTHER CARS ALSO PARKED EVERYDAY. THEY NEVER HAVE SUCH KIND OF PROBLEM. I THINK BECAUSE OF THEIR CAR IS OLD AND MY CAR IS NEW SO RODENTS LIKE TO EAT NEW WIRES NOT A OLD WIRES. THE MANGER TOLD ME THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AND IT WILL BE MORE THAN $1000. I AM COMPLETELY DISAGREE, WHY SHOULD I PAY. STILL ITS PASSED 5 MONTHS. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BY HONDA WITH FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

MY BRAKES CONSTANTLY MAKE AN ANNOYING CLICKING SHOULD IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I MADE THE PURCHASE I WAS WAITING FOR ONE HOUR AND A HALF ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY DID NOT DO A FULL INSPECTION AND EVERYTHING IS NORMAL THE CLICKING SOUND IS NORMAL. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH MY CAR IT IS THE FIFTH HONDA IN THE FAMILY THE NEW VEHICLE WITH THE LOUD CLICKING SOUND. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE VEHICLES FROM MAZDA TO NISSAN EVEN TOYOTA AND THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE THAT I HAVE WITH SUCH ANNOYING CLICKING SOUND. *TR

STOPPED FOR GAS ENGINE KEEP RUNNING AT HIGH LEVEL OF RPMS WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKES STOPPED THE CAR BY SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND TURNING ENGINE OFF THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPEN IN ONE DAY. IN MY OTHER COMPLAIN REGARDING HONDA I SAID APRIL INSTEAD OF MAY. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR TWO WEEKS AGO. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE ISSUE WAS ON A LONG DRIVE, 5+/- HOURS WITH THE CAR. AT THE END OF THE DRIVE, MY LOWER BACK WAS ON FIRE AND I HAD A HARD TIME MOVING AROUND FOR THE REST OF THAT WEEKEND. THEN THE DRIVE HOME WAS WORSE, BECAUSE MY BACK ALREADY WAS HURTING. THESE SEATS ARE AWFUL! I TOOK THE CAR RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THEY REALLY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT (IT WASN'T BROKEN). I THEN CALL HONDA CARE, EXPLAINED MY ISSUE AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER (N012012-4-3002271). THAT CASE ENDING IN HONDA USA BASICALLY TELLING ME TO POUND SAND! I SAID THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THESE ISSUES, JUST GO AND GOOGLE IT. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE A WHILE. THE HONDA REP "CAROLINE" TO ME HONDA WAS UN-AWARE OF ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS AND FURTHER TOLD ME, THEY DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO WEB POSTINGS. BOTTOM LINE IS THIS... I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR. THE FRONT SEATS (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) ARE CAUSING EXTREME BACK PAIN AND NUMBNESS IN MY LEGS. HONDA IS KNOWINGLY OR UN-KNOWINGLY IGNORING THIS ISSUE. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES AND I'M JUST LOOKING FOR HELP TO RESOLVE THIS. I HAVE TRIED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURE THEMSELVES WITHOUT SATISFACTION. *TR
