2012 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT OF MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD HAS JAMMED INSIDE THE BELT HOUSING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MOST RECENT EVENT LASTED OVER AN HOUR AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FREE THE BELT FROM THE HOUSING, I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE WITHOUT A SEATBELT ON, WHICH WAS TERRIFYING AND AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. THE BELT EVENTUALLY RELEASED FROM ITS HOUSING AND IS WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN, UNTIL THE NEXT INCIDENT, I SUPPOSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAGS (STEERING WHEEL AND SIDE WINDOW) DEPLOYED. AFTERWARDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO HIS DESTINATION. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

HAD A ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH AND HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE CAR ACCELERATED AND BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP CAR. IT DROVE THROUGH A PLATE GLASS WINDOW. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT ON THE BRAKE. ACCORDING TO NHTSA THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM.

MY WINDSHIELD IS FULL OF SPECKS, WHICH IS CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVING, IF THE SUN HITS THE FRONT WINDOW ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW. THIS IS MY 3RD HONDA AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE , ONE CAR I HAD FOR 15 YEARS NO WINDSHIELD PROBLEM WITH IT . IT HAPPENS WHEN THE SUN HITS THE WINDOW, BUT ALSO ON A CLOUDY DAY. ITS VERY VISIBLE AND DIFFICULT TO SEE CLEARLY DRIVING OR JUST SITTING LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW.

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR RANDOMLY WILL NOT OPEN, EVEN THOUGH DOOR LOCK APPEARS TO BE IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION- WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED.

CAR MADE STRANGE NOISES, WHEN STOPPED, WHEN BRAKES APPLIED LITTLE HARD. HONDA SERVICE CENTER SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE STEERING RACK. AND GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $2200. CAR HAS MILEAGE OF 82000

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING HONDA (ACCORD) CARS FOR OVER 40 YEARS. NOW I OWN A HONDA CROSSTOUR. GREAT CAR! I DO NOT DRIVE VERY MUCH AND ONLY LOCALLY. MY AVERAGE ANNUAL MILEAGE IS ABOUT 7,000 MILES. MY CROSSTOUR IS 7 YEARS OLD NOW AND HAS JUST REACHED 53,000 MILES. YESTERDAY I WAS TOLD THAT I I NEED A $1,600 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE "RACK AND PINION". APPARENTLY A TINY PIECE IS BROKEN ON IT. THIS IS VERY TROUBLING. EVEN THE AUTO REPAIR TOLD ME TO CONTACT HONDA AS THIS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY.. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED BY HONDA DEALERSHIPS. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTED WHEN I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I CONTACTED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RACK AND PINION IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT NEW PARTS ARE NOT MADE. I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BUY A RE-FURBISHED PART. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH A SERIOUS PART OF THE VEHICLE, WITH ONLY LOCAL MILEAGE ON IT, CANNOT BE UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. AND, I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT ONLY "USED PARTS" ARE AVAILABLE. I AM A LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER FOR MANY MANY YEARS. I AM A 75 YR OLD, SENIOR CITIZEN ON A LIMITED SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM A REPRESENTATIVE FROM HONDA'S CUSTOMER LOYALTY DEPARTMENT WHO CAN PLEASE HELP ME!

CAR MADE A STRANGE NOISE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKING OR WHEN STOPPED. RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

ENGINE/TRANSMISSION HAS STUTTERING/JERKING AT LOW SPEEDS IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR DAILY.
