2011 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I HAVE RESPONDED TO HONDA'S RECALL NOTICES FOR AIRBAG REPAIRS ON THIS 2011 CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND TOLD THEM THAT THE CAR WAS LEASED IN 2011 AND RETURNED TO HONDA IN 2014. I AM CONCERNED THAT WHOEVER HONDA SOLD THIS CAR TO IS NOT RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES. ON THE LAST NOTICE THAT I RECEIVED, I WROTE ON THE INFORMATION CHANGE CARD PROVIDED THAT THE CAR WAS RETURNED AT JOYCE HONDA IN DENVILLE, NJ WHEN I LEASED A 2014 HONDA. I ALSO WROTE THAT I WOULD NOTIFY NHTSA OF HONDA'S INABILITY TO CORRECT THE RECALL NOTICE. I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE ON 2/15/2021. PLEASE LET HONDA KNOW WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO REALLY COMPLY WITH THE LAW.

TL* THE CONTACT'S GIRLFRIEND OWNED A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS HIS GIRLFRIEND HAD MADE A COMPLETE STOP UPON EXITING THE HIGHWAY, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO HER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AT THE SCENE. HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS EXPERIENCING MINOR WHIPLASH DUE TO THE ACCIDENT, NO OTHER INJURIES WERE REPORTED AT THE SCENE AND NO MEDICAL ATTENTION NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME WHICH WAS NEAR THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 157,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER 2 YEARS OF OWNING MY NEW 2011 HONDA ACCORD, I NOTICED A GRINDING SOUND DURING COLD STARTS THAT LASTED 1-2 SECONDS AND THEN STOPS. I HAVE THE DEALERSHIP INSPECT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY QUICKLY DISMISSED AND SAID THE NOISE WAS BEING MADE BY THE VTC AND TO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE NOISE. IN ADDITION, THEY SAID THAT NO HARM WOULD BE CAUSED BY THE NOISE. NOW I HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE NOISE IS ON EVERY COLD START NO MATTER WHAT THE TEMPERATURE AND LAST FOR 2-5 SECONDS. I RECENTLY CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT IF THE VTC WAS THE PROBLEM (WHICH IT HAS BEEN ALL ALONG), THEN I WOULD NEED TO PAY IN FULL FOR THE REPAIR SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, WATER LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE BETWEEN THE ROOF AND DOOR FRAME AND RUBBER SEAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

10 HOURS AFTER THE CAR WAS LAST DRIVEN OR TOUCHED, THE DOOR SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT SEEMS THE SPARK CAME FROM THE DOOR LOCKS AND POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH AREA. I HAVE VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING. IT BURNED FOR NEARLY 10 MINUTES. THE ENTIRE DOOR IS ALMOST COMPLETELY MELTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT CALLED RICK CASE HONDA (15700 RICK CASE HONDA WAY, DAVIE, FL 33331, (954) 388-1035) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED FOR THE RECALL TWICE. BOTH TIMES THE CONTACT CALLED, HE WAS INFORMED BY A REPRESENTATIVE THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL HIM BACK TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE CONTACT HAD YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

ROUGH SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR ONLY WHEN DOWNSHIFTING ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

THE CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN, WHEN YOU PUT IT ON P IT STAYS FULLY ACCELERATED. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. IN MOTION IS DOING THE SAME THING

TAKATA RECALL WAS DONE DEC 08,2018. ABOUT 2 MONTH LATER MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS COMING ON ONCE IN A WHILE, IT'S BEEN GETTING WORSE, NOW AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY, EVERYTIME CAE IS RUNNING. I AM WANDERING IF THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO A RECALL?

I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND SUDDENLY MY CAR ACCELERATED. I SIDE SWIPED ONE CAR; HIT THE CEMENT BLOCK AT FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE AND THEN WENT ABOUT 10 FEET AND HIT THE SIDE OF A PICKUP AND FINALLY THE CAR STOPPED. NO ONE WAS INJURED, HOWEVER MY CAR WAS TOTALED
