2010 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE PEDAL WAS RESISTANT TO BEING DEPRESSED, WHICH WAS A RECURRING FAILURE WHEN THERE WAS SNOW OR EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED OF THE FAILURE AND DECLINED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,901. UPDATED 7/14/14*CN UPDATED 07/18/2014 *JS

I PURCHASED MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD NEW 2/2010. I'VE COMPLETED ALL THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS & GET MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 3 MONTHS DESPITE WHAT HONDA RECOMMENDS. AFTER HEARING A MILD GRINDING SOUND IN THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME DIRT/PEBBLE. TO MY SURPRISE, MY MECHANIC TOLD ME MY REAR BRAKES WERE WORN DOWN & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 35,000 MI. MY MECHANIC SAID HE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES W/ OTHER HONDA CUSTOMERS. I REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS W/ AFTERMARKET BRAKE PADS BECAUSE MY MECHANIC BELIEVED THEY WERE SUPERIOR TO THE HONDA BRAKE PADS. THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE 80% LIFE. I'VE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ON MY PREVIOUS CARS W/ MILEAGE UNDER 55,000. I STARTED MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AFTERWARDS & FOUND THE 2010 HONDA CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT REGARDING THE REAR BRAKES ON SPECIFIC YRS OF THE HONDA ACCORD. HONDA WAS NOT REQUIRED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE REAR BRAKES. HONDA ACCORD BRAKE PADS SHOULD LAST UP TO 70,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY THE REPAIR DEADLINE & ELIGIBILITY INCLUDED BRAKE PADS REPLACED WITH HONDA BRAKE PADS & INSTALLATION OF THOSE BRAKE PADS WITHIN 3 YRS OF WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST SOLD. I'VE OWNED MY ACCORD FOR 4 YRS & I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS W/ AFTERMARKET PADS. SINCE I HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE OTHER THAN TO WRITE HONDA OR GO TO THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPT, I OPTED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE W/ OTHER CONSUMERS, RATHER THEN REMAIN SILENT & FRUSTRATED. I DOUBT I'LL MAKE ANY PROGRESS W/ CONTACTING HONDA. I TRULY ENJOY MY HONDA ACCORD & ITS PERFORMANCE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED W/ HONDA & THEIR LACK OF COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION & RESOLVING AN INFERIOR PART ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AS NOTED W/ ALL THE ONLINE CUSTOMER DOCUMENTATION. HONDA HAS FORCED THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE, REFUSING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF A COSTLY, EXTREMELY, PREMATURE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, A BANGING NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE.

AT 25844 MILES, REAR BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED. AT 69098 REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THIS FREQUENCY OF WEAR AND REPLACEMENT IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE'VE BEEN DRIVING HONDAS FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AT 22000 MILES, NOW AT 27000 MILES HAVE TO REPLACE ALL 4 ROTORS AND PADS. *TR

THE VEHICLE SEAT OFFER NO COMFORT OR SUPPORT, BUT ACTUALLY INFLICT SEVERE AND IMMEDIATE BACK AND HIP PAIN. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ONLY 15 MILES IN THE INTERSTATE, I HAD BACK PAIN FOR 2 DAYS. I DON'T WANT TO GET IN MY OWN CAR I JUST PURCHASED. I WANT TO TAKE IT BACK. WHY IS THIS ALLOWED? HOW CAR A VEHICLE THAT CAUSES INJURY CONTINUE TO BE SOLD. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE SHOULD BE A FIX. THERE SHOULD BE A REPAIR. I WANT MY MONEY AND MY HEALTH BACK! *TR

WHEN I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK AT ALL. IF IT IS UNDER 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE, THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST DRIVEN AFTER SITTING FOR AWHILE. I AM NOW LOOKING AT REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND CHECK VALVE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF MY CAR WILL STOP OR NOT WHEN I AM DRIVING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, HONDA HAD RECALLED PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL YEAR. SEVERAL PEOPLE IN FORUMS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUES. PERHAPS YET ANOTHER CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER FOR. *TR

REAR BRAKES STARTED MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAR WAS VIBRATING WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. NOTICED BRAKING REDUCTION. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE REAR BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT 36,000 MILES. *TR

CAR WAS PARKED AT BOAT DOCK PARKING LOT WHEN PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WAS CLOSED, LARGE BANG FROM ARMING DEVICE OCCURRED, AND CURTAIN AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE WAS DEPLOYED. NO INJURY, NO EXTERNAL CONTACT WITH VEHICLE EXCEPT PASSENGER DOOR BEING CLOSED. *TR
