2010 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

WHEN ALARM GOES OFF IT LOCKS MY DOORS AND WINDOWS AND I CAN'T GET OUT UNTIL IT STOPS I WAS TRAPPED INSIDE CAR IN SUMMER LIKE 101 OUTSIDE BOOK SAID ROLL WINDOW DOWN AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE THE WINDOW WELL WON'T OPEN AND I CAN'T OPEN MY DOOR AND I'M LOCKED IN THERE WITH NO AIR IN THE DEAD OF THE SUMMER THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM. ONE TIME I TRIED TO GET OUT AND THE ALARM WENT BACK ON AGAIN AND I WAS LOCKED IN THERE ANOTHER FIVE OR 10 MINUTES EVEN MY NEIGHBOR CAME OUT AND TRIED TO HELP ME

ON A ROAD TRIP TO MASS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS AND CAR RUNS POORLY. STOP AT THE NEAREST HONDA, GARBER HONDA IN ROCHESTER, NY. FIRST MADE AWARE OF RECALL. GARBER SAYS REPAIR IS MADE AND IS COVERED UNDER RECALL PROGRAM. I WAS ADVISED TO RETURN IF PROBLEM COMES BACK AND TOLD I HAD UNLIMITED MILES TO DO SO. CAR CONTINUES TO CONSUME OIL. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THE CONSUMPTION WAS PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN REGARDING THE NUMBER 2 CYLINDER. 26 OCTOBER - 9 NOVEMBER 2018 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTS TO BLINK AND CAR RUNS POORLY. ON THE ROAD I TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA, LIA HONDA OF WILLIAMSVILLE, NY. NUMBER 2 PLUG FOULED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY CAMPAIGN HAD ENDED AND I HAD TO BRING IN ALL THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS TO QUALIFY FOR A 'GOOD WILL' REPAIR. I FAX AND CALLED NORTHTOWN BUT RECORDS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO DEALERSHIP BUYOUT. I PAID TO HAVE SPARK PLUG REPLACED. I SPENT 3 WEEKS EXCHANGING EMAILS WITH ADRIAN BONSEY AT LIA TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IN MY FINAL FOLLOW UP HE MENTIONS HE HAD CLEARED THE EXCHANGE OF EMAILS FROM HIS SYSTEM. I GO ONLINE AND RESEARCH THE ISSUE DISCOVERING THE WARRANTY CAMPAIGN LETTER, A LETTER I HAD NEVER BEEN GIVEN BEFORE.I AM UNABLE TO GET MY EMISSIONS DONE FOR THE STATE OF NY DUE TO A NEARLY ALWAYS ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CONSUME 2 - 3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND FOUL OUT A PLUG EVERY FEW MONTHS. I THINK HONDA OWES ME A REPAIR SINCE THE PREVIOUS REPAIR DID NOT RESOLVE THE KNOWN ISSUE.

DURING A COLD START, AND CAR IS STATIONARYTHE ENGINE RATTLES FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I HAVE FOUND OUT PER THE DEALER, THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE VTC ACTUATOR. APPARENTLY THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL HAS THIS PROBLEM. HONDA HAS ALWAYS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND CLAIMS THAT THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR AT A COST OF AROUND 900.00 DOLLARS.HOWEVER THEY CLAIM THAT THIS MAY NOT EVEN CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HONDA WAS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT ANNOUNCED A SO CALLED RECALL KNOWING THAT THIS RECALL WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT WAS STRICTLY TO COVER THEIR LIABILITY. I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FOR MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD AT NO COST TO CONSUMERS. HONDA CORPORATION WAS ALWAYS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND STILL CONTINUED TO SELL THIS PARTICULAR MODEL TO CONSUMERS.

TRANSMISSIONS SLIPS. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CODES P0780, P1733, P0008 AND P0796. MY TRANSMISSION TAKES TIME TO ENGAGE AFTER I PLACE THE CAR IN DRIVE. DRIVE LIGHT ALSO BLINKS. IS THERE A TCM IN A 2010 HONDA ACCORD EXL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CHECK ENGINE AND VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND SIX CODES APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROUTE 23 HONDA (LOCATED AT 700 NJ-23, POMPTON PLAINS, NJ 07444, (888) 733-9372), WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTON RINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY FRANK FLETCHER HONDA (LOCATED AT 2921 MOBERLY LN, BENTONVILLE, AR 72712, 479-715-8622) PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REPAIR, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

IN THE PAST 2 YEARS I HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COILS TWICE! I HAVE HAD TO TOP OFF MY OIL WITHOUT HAVING OIL LEAKAGE. I HAVE REPLACED MY BATTERY TWICE, AND NOW NEED TO REPLACE MY ALTERNATOR. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE OIL AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES.. IT MUST BE GETTING PAST PISTONS SOMEHOW. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE ADDRESSED!

CROWN HONDA AT SOUTHPOINT WOULD NOT HONOR APPOINTMENT TIME FOR RECALL REPLACEMENT.

I TURNED ON MY CAR AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A ROUGH SPUTTERING SOUND AND WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPENED I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADDRESSED IT FOR FREE. THE SECOND TIME I PAID A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE PISTON(S) REPLACED AND HAVE IT CLEANED OUT. ONE OF THE SERVICE MEN AT THE DEALER SAID THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. THAT WAS 3-4 MONTHS AGO AND NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. IN THE APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I HAVE REPLACED 2 ALTERNATORS AND AT LEAST 2 BATTERIES. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS CAR PREMATURELY BURNS OFF THE OIL IN THE ENGINE. IT IS POOR OIL CONSUMPTION. I WAS TRYING TO TOP OFF THE OIL REGULARLY IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES BUT NOTHING HAS HELPED THIS. PLEASE HAVE HONDA ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL

MY CAR JERKS FROM THE VCM MODULE ON THE CAR USUALLY WHEN GOING AROUND 40 MPH ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING A TURN( I DRIVE MOSTLY ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY) WHICH MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN CYLINDERS AND JERKS THE CAR HARD SOMETIMES AND GIVES A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF TORQUE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A HONDA ACCORD CROSSTOUR 2010 WITH 72K MILES ON THEIR 3.5L V6 ENGINE AND WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT HONDA BEING SUED FOR THEIR VCM MODULE THAT SHUTS DOWN CYLINDERS. IT RUINS PISTON RINGS, BREAKS ENGINE MOUNTS, MISFIRING, BURNING OIL, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST BENT PISTON RODS ALL SO YOU CAN GET 1 MORE MILE PER GALLON. I WOULD LIKE FOR HONDA TO DO A RECALL TO FIX ENGINES THAT ARE DAMAGED AND TO FINALLY GIVE THEIR BUYERS AN OPTION TO TURN THE VCM OFF WHICH IS KNOWN TO PREVENT THOSE PROBLEMS AND MAKE THE CAR NOT JERK.I GOT 75K MILES NOW AND JERKING HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO WHERE I'M TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO TURN IT OFF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
