2010 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I STARTED NOTICING RIGHT LEG PAIN/NUMBNESS WHILE DRIVING MY ,NEW TO ME, 2010 HONDA ACCORD EX HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I THOUGHT I JUST DIDN'T HAVE MY SEAT ADJUSTED PROPERLY. THE PAIN BECAME MUCH WORSE OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, AFFECTING BOTH LEGS AND LEFT HIP, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS STILL JUST ME UNTIL I RESEARCHED IT. THE REAL PAIN BEGAN AFTER A 3 HOUR TRIP. THE PAIN WAS SO SEVERE THE NEXT MORNING THAT I COULD BARELY WALK AND COULDN'T GET OUT OF PAIN. MY DOCTOR ORDERED AN X-RAY AND THEN A BONE SCAN TO SEE IF THERE WAS A FRACTURE. THE TESTS SHOWED A CONDITION CALLED SPONDYLOLISTHESIS WHERE THE L4 VERTEBRA WAS PUSHED FORWARD ON THE L5 VERTEBRA CAUSING AN IMPINGEMENT OF THE NERVES THAT SUPPLY THE LEGS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO TRADE THE CAR IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE(AT A GREAT LOSS TO ME). I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE. I'VE BEEN TO A DOCTOR, A SPINAL SPECIALIST AND AM STILL GETTING PHYSICAL THERAPY TO ADDRESS THE PAIN AND HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR IN 2 MONTHS. I KNOW THE SEAT CAN BE TAKEN APART AND PLATES REMOVED TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO DRIVE IT BUT THAT DISABLES THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE CAR. THESE SEATS WOULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO ME IF I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY, I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH A CAR SEAT BEFORE. THESE SEATS ARE NOT JUST UNCOMFORTABLE THEY ARE DANGEROUS AND NEED TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER AND WOULD ONLY CONSIDER BUYING A HONDA. THE SEATS IN MY OTHER HONDAS WERE WONDERFUL. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED THAT HONDA WON'T FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHILE SLOWLY ACCELERATING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH ALL PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY IMPACT TO VEHICLE, IN PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET HONDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT . CURRENTLY THEY ARE REFUSING AND TRYING TO PUSH THE CLAIM ONTO MY INSURANCE COMPANY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. *TR

HAD AN EXPERIENCE WITH UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION. ON MY WAY TO WORK, COMING AROUND 10 WEST TO 710 SOUTH TRANSITION, I FULLY DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO PASS A VERY SLOW MOVING CAR, COMING OUT OF THE RAMP THAT MERGES INTO FAST 710 SOUTH TRAFFIC. I WOULD ESTIMATE THE GAS PEDAL WAS FULLY FLOORED 2-3 SECONDS. THEN I LIFTED PRESSURE, AS I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO PASS THE SLOWER VEHICLE, BUT NOTICED THE THROTTLE WAS STILL WIDE OPEN. I WAS GOING TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, BUT I QUICKLY STABBED THE PEDAL AND THE THROTTLE UNSTUCK ITSELF. WOW! THAT WAS PRETTY NERVE RACKING! IT HAPPENED ONLY ONCE SO FAR. *TR

HIGHWAY SPEED VIBRATION AT VARIOUS INTENSITIES, MOSTLY AT SPEEDS OVER 60. CAR SHAKES AND VIBRATES. HONDA DEALERSHIP EVALUATED SITUATION AND NOTED NO PROBLEMS WITH SUSPENSION, REPLACED FRONT AND SIDE MOTOR MOUNTS WITHOUT SOLVING PROBLEM. FACTORY TECH STATED THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN EVALUATED AS "BAD TIRES". CAR HAD PROBLEM WITH PRIOR TIRES AND CURRENT TIRES HAD LESS THAN 2,000 MILES ON THEM. TIRES WERE REBALANCED, ALIGNED AND ROTATED - NO IMPROVEMENT. SAME PROBLEM WITH SECOND CAR (SAME MAKE/MODEL 2008). INTERNET SEARCHING INDICATES THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH 2008 THROUGH AT LEAST 2012 VEHICLES. DEALER TRIED TO TEST THE TIRE ISSUE BY SWAPPING TIRES FROM ANOTHER USED VEHICLE ON THE LOT. THEY TEST DROVE 3 VEHICLES TO FIND ONE BUT ALL THREE HAD THE SAME VIBRATION ISSUE. I THINK THERE IS A DESIGN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND THE PROBLEM IS BEING IGNORED BY HONDA (MUST BE A HUGE ISSUE AND/OR A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX). I HAVE SEEN STATEMENTS THAT THIS IS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS VEHICLE" AND NOTED OTHER SIMILAR EXPLANATIONS. IN MY MIND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING TO EXPERIENCE SERIOUS VIBRATIONS AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT IS ALSO UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING ON HIGH SPEED ROADS AT LOWER SPEEDS TO AVOID THE ISSUE. *TR

THE FRONT SEATS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CAUSE BACK PAIN. *TR

2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE REAR BRAKE PADS. *SMD DURING A STATE INSPECTION, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THE PADS SHOULD NOT HAVE WORN OUT SO QUICKLY.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR MAKES NOISE AND DRIVING IS NOT SMOOTH. WHEN I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER THE VSA, AND THE WRENCH CAME ON. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID IT WAS A SPARK PLUG MISS FIRING. I DROVE MY CAR TO GEORGIA AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD AND HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED THERE. NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING ONE MONTH LATER. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I FOUND ON THE INTERNET THAT THEIR IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THE SAME THING. IT IS RESOLVED WHEN THE PUT A NEW MOTOR IN THE CAR. MY CAR DOES NOT LEAK OIL BUT READS THAT THE OIL IS LOW. THE OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED BUT NOT CONTINUALLY AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A THREE VEHICLE COLLISION. I WAS REAR ENDED BY THE 4TH VEHICLE WHICH STARTED A CHAIN REACTION AND MY VEHICLE WAS HIT IN THE REAR AND THE FRONT AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED TO 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,338.

THE MOONROOF GLASS ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. NOTHING HIT IT, THERE WAS NO WIND OR UNUSUAL CONDITION OF ANY KIND. ONE MOMENT, NORMAL DRIVING, THEN A SOUND LIKE A BIG FIRECRACKER EXPLODING IN THE CAR, THEN I LOOKED UP AND ABOUT ONE QUARTER OF THE GLASS WAS GONE OUT OF THE CENTER, THE REST WAS SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES BUT STILL HANGING IN PLACE. MORE GLASS HAS BROKEN LOOSE AND FALLEN DOWN AND THE HOLE GROWN BIGGER OVER THE PAST DAY. THOUGH MOST OF THE GLASS BROKE INTO SAFETY GLASS-LIKE CHUNKS, THERE WERE SOME FINE SLIVERS IN THE PASSENGER AREA THAT WERE SHARP AND DIFFICULT TO CLEAN UP. *TR
