ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 ACCORD ON MY SNOW COVERED STREET AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY (VSA) LIGHT FLASHED ON, AS IT SHOULD, WHEN THE VEHICLE LOSES TRACTION. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS BOTH APPEARED AS WELL AND ALL 3 STAYED LIT. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THEY WOULD RESET, BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS, THEY DID NOT. THE VSA AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FUNCTIONS WERE NO LONGER WORKING. MY CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND BASED ON THE COMPUTER CODES, DETERMINED THAT THE ABS MODULATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR WAS OVER $1300! AT THAT TIME, I DECIDED NOT TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR BECAUSE I WANTED TO CALL AMERICAN HONDA TO SEE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE A DISCOUNT FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT AND EXPENSIVE SAFETY COMPONENT. AFTER MORE THAN A WEEK, THEY DID FINALLY OFFER A DISCOUNT AND THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED FOR $800. MY RESEARCH HAS INDICATED THAT THIS PART HAS HAD A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS IN SOME HONDA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AROUND 2009. THE ABS MODULATOR SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED ON MY HONDA ACCORD WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I BELIEVE THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH 2009 HONDA VEHICLES. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT, WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT, AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I LET GO OF BRAKE AND APPLIED THE GAS AND SUDDENLY THE RPM WENT TO ALMOST RED LINE AND I WAS REAL LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PUT THE GEAR SHIFTER IN TO NEUTRAL AND PULL OVER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, FEW MINUTES LATER STARTED THE ENGINE AND IT WAS NORMAL AGAIN, THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN A MONTH THAT THIS HAPPENED FIRST TIME I DIDN'T EVEN APPLY ANY GAS MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I WILL BE CALLING AMERICAN HONDA TO REPORT THIS ALSO AND WILL TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY SAID THIS PROBLEM IS NOT GOING TO SHOW ON THE SCANNERS, THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT HE HAS HEARD ABOUT THIS, BUT HAS NOT SEEN ONE IN PERSON, I TOLD HIM TO DO A GOOGLE SEARCH AND HE CAN SEE THIS PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS KNOWN AS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION THAT FORCED TOYOTA TO RECALL THEIR CALLS AND NOW IS HONDA'S TURN TO DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE ANYONE DIES. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON TWO OCCASIONS IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD EXPERIENCED WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT A LOW SPEED (FIRST TIME TURNING ON TO A ROAD; SECOND TIME ACCELERATING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE). THE ENGINE SURGED WITH POWER AND NEARLY REDLINED THE TACHOMETER. EACH CASE I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL TO DISABLE THE DRIVE TRAIN AND THEN SHUT DOWN THE CAR; WAITED FIVE MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I SCANNED THE NTSB DATA BASE TO LOOK FOR SIMILAR REPORTING BUT FOUND NONE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED, IN 2014, FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP, WITH ONLY 15440 MILES ON IT. I DROVE IT WITHOUT INCIDENT FOR AT LEAST NINE MONTHS. I NOW HAVE ABOUT 25500 MILES ON IT. I ALSO OWN AN OLDER ACCORD AND CONSIDER THEIR VEHICLES TO BE QUALITY PRODUCTS. I AM NOT TREATING THIS AS A COMPLAINT AS MUCH AS I AM TRYING TO DETERMINE IF SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. UNLIKE THE RECENT TOYOTA ISSUES OF FLOOR MATS INDUCING ACCELERATION, THE MAT I USED IS SECURED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR AND DOES NOT COME WITHIN THREE INCHES BEHIND AND BELOW THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION PEDAL. OF NOTE, THIS MODEL VARIANT IS POWERED BY A 4-CYLINDER ENGINE. GIVEN THE INFREQUENCY OF THIS; I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS A SOFTWARE GLITCH IN THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER COMMAND MODULE. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE HAD MY HONDA ACCORD 2009 V6 SERVICED FOR CONSTANT SPARK PLUG FOULING AND OIL CONSUMPTION. AFTER A TOTAL OF 10 VISITS, AND OVER 40 DAYS WITHOUT MY CAR OVER THE COURSE OF 3 YEARS, I HAD RECEIVED A TOTAL OF 3 SPARK PLUG SETS, TWO OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS, LOST TWO CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, AND O2 SENSORS. EVEN WITH THIS CONSTANT SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT, IT DID NOT ALLEVIATE ANY ISSUES. I KEPT BREAKING DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A RUMBLING, MISFIRING ENGINE. AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO HONDA, THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. AFTER SPEAKING TO A DISTRICT REP AND BEING REFERRED TO PARAGON HONDA IN WOODSIDE, NY, THEY HAD AGREED TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. THEY HAVE NOW HAD IT FOR TWO MONTHS. AFTER RECEIVING A NEW ENGINE, I INSTANTLY RECEIVED CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS STATING THE CAR WAS RUNNING TOO LEAN. AFTER RETURNING IT FOR ANOTHER WEEK, I RECEIVED IT BACK, BUT THIS TIME, IT WOULD LITERALLY CHOKE OUT AND STALL AT EVERY OTHER RED LIGHT. I RETURNED TO HONDA WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR TOO RICH AND A CAR THAT WOULD NOT MAKE IT MORE THEN A FEW MILES IF STOP SIGNS WERE INVOLVED. IT HAS NOW BEEN THERE FOR TWO WEEKS, ON TOP OF THE TWO MONTHS. PLUS THE 40 DAYS, THAT'S A TOTAL OF 4 LOST MONTHS. I HAD TO FIGHT THIS WEEKEND FOR A LOANER CAR, WHICH FOR THEM, SEEMED LIKE A VERY DIFFICULT THING TO DO. HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW HOW THE NHTSA HAS ALLOWED HONDA TO KEEP THEIR OIL CONSUMING DANGEROUS CARS ON THE ROAD, I HAVE BROKE DOWN IN THE LEFT LANE OF A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, AND I KNOW THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I AM A METICULOUS PERSON, WHO CONSTANTLY CHECKS HIS OWN OIL, PLUGS, FILTERS, ETC.... I MONITOR MY O2 SENSORS FOR BAD FUEL TRIMS CONSTANTLY, AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTHING BUT DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS HUNK OF JUNK. I'VE FILED CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, HONDA COMPLAINTS, TO NO REGARD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD ONE NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED AND CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON SO I CALLED AAA. ONCE AAA ARRIVED, THEY STATED THAT IT WAS MY BATTERY. HE THEN SAID THIS BATTERY IS NOT ANY GOOD, I TOLD HIM I HAD JUST BOUGHT IT 6 MONTHS PRIOR FROM AAA . SO THE DRIVER REPLACED MY BATTERY FOR FREE. THIS WOULD BE MY 3RD BATTERY IN 1.5 YEARS. NEW PROBLEM, MY CAR STILL WOULD NOT START. NOT KNOWING THE PROBLEM, MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC CLAIMED THAT MY FUEL FILTER HAD WENT BAD, THAT THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE ANY GAS. FIRST OF ALL, I HAD NEVER HEARD OF A FUEL FILTER GOING BAD ESPECIALLY WITH THE MILEAGE ON Y CAR. HONDA SERVICE STATES TO REPLACE THE FILTER AROUND 75,000. SINCE I WAS NO WHERE NEAR 75K WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. ANYWAY, I HAD THE FUEL FILTER REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. AT THIS POINT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON SHOWING THERE WAS STILL A PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC THEN STATED THAT MY O2 SENSOR WENT BAD. SO, I REPLACED THE O2 SENSOR. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED. MY CAR IS TOO YOUNG FOR THIS MANY ISSUES. MY CAR HAD A LITTLE OVER 60K BUT I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES, REPLACED THE BALL BEARINGS, O2 SENSOR AND GAS FILTER. I FIND OUT TODAY THE BRAND NEW TIRES I PURCHASED FROM HONDA ARE NOT ANY GOOD AND THE BELT INSIDE THE TIRES ARE ALMOST BROKEN IN TWO. THANKS HONDA, I USE TO LOVE YOU. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

I TOOK MY HONDA IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKE PADS WHERE VERY LOW AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THIS OUT WITH ONLY 17,660 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL SHOULD BE AWARE. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD BRAND NEW FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE PAINT ON MY CAR IS NOW PEELING ON THE HOOD, ROOF, TRUNK, AND AROUND THE BACK WINDOW. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOOK PICTURES AND AT THE SAME TIME TRIED TELLING ME IT APPEARED AS IF SOMETHING GOT ON THE CAR. THERE'S NO CLEAR COAT LEFT ON THE CAR. I'M SO FRUSTRATED WITH HONDA. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND HAVE HAD HONDAS IN THE PAST. I'M COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY I'VE BEEN TREATED BY HONDA AND THEIR INABILITY TO HELP. I THINK THIS IS MY LAST AND FINAL HONDA. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE SUDDENDLY LOST ALL POWER. THIS EXACT SAME POWER LOSS HAS OCCURRED FOUR TO FIVE TIMES SINCE I OWN THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM A GILLMAN HONDA DEALERSHIP IN HOUSTON, TEXAS IN LATE DECEMBER 2009. THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED WAS A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GILLMAN DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND DISCUSSED THE ISSUE WITH A SERVICE MANGER. I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT A NOISE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING. I WAS TOLD THEN THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH PROBLEM SIMILAR TO WHAT I DESCRIBED REPORTED, I LEFT AFTER GETTING AN OIL CHANGE. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE SAME POWER LOST HAS OCCURRED TO ME 3 TO 4 MORE TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2014 WHILE I WAS AT A CHEVRON GAS STATION. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AFTER FINISHING PUMPING GASOLINE TO THE GAS TANK AND FINISHED WITH THE PAYMENT. I HAD TO GET SOMEONE TO PUSH THE CAR AWAY FROM PUMP STATION AND TRIED TO GET HELP FROM PEOPLE WHO CAME TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THEIR VEHICLES WITH GASOLINE. MY WIFE EVENTUALLY CAME TO THE GAS STATION WITH A JUMP CABLE AND I WAS ABLE TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE THEN. AFTERWARDS, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN O'REILLY AUTO PART STORE AND PROCEEDED TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY. HOWEVER, BEFORE I LET THE STORE CLERK REPLACE MY CAR'S BATTERY, I ASKED HIM TO RUN A TEST ON THE CAR'S BATTERY, AND THE RESULT INDICATED THAT THE BATTERY IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS REMINDED ME OF THE EXACT SAME SITUATION WHEN I LOST COMPLETE POWER TO THE VEHICLE, AND HAD TO JUMP START IT ABOUT 6 - 8 MONTHS EARLIER. I ALSO DROVE MYSELF TO ANOTHER O'REILLY AUTO PART STORE AND THE SAME SCENARIO PLAYED OUT. THESE EXPERIENCES TOLD ME THAT SOMETHING IS NOT NORMAL. SOME FORM OF SHORT-CIRCUITRY MUST HAPPEN THAT CAUSED MY CAR TO LOSE ITS POWER.

AIR BAGS
I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN SOMEONE WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED AT HONDA OF THE AVENUES IN JACKSONVILLE, FL. BUT THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL ACTION DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF THE AIRBAG WHEN PERSONS LEAN IN THE PATH OF THE SIDE AIRBAG. I LET THEM KNOW THAT I WANTED TO HAVE THIS CHECKED, WHICH THEY TOLD ME IT WAS. FAST FORWARD TO OCT 2014 I HEARD OF THE AIRBAG PASSENGER PROBLEM AND CHECKED MY VIN. I WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT BECAUSE OF MY ORIGINAL CONCERN I CALLED FRONT RANGE HONDA IN COLORADO SPRINGS (WE MOVED) AND THEY RAN A CHECK OF MY SYSTEM ON 10/30/2014. FORTUNATELY THEY FOUND AND REPLACED THE FAULTY PASSENGER SEAT RAIL SENSORS WHEN THEY SHOWED AS MAJOR FAILURE! THANK GOODNESS I NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT TO TEST THE PASSENGER SENSOR'S! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME FAILURE AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL LEAD TO A RECALL TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM FINDING OUT THE HARD WAY. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE
I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN JULY 2009, IN NOV. 2009 I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DOOR ACTUATORS. SINCE NOV. 2009 THEY HAVE FIXED MY ACTUATORS 7 TIMES, 4 TIMES IN 2012. I ALSO HAVE HAD THE CENTER ARM REST REPLACED TWICE DUE TO BUBBLING (NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN). ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK MY CAR FROM THE INSIDE. THIS BRINGS UP A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY ACTUATORS ARE GOING AGAIN IN MY CAR. IN AUGUST 2014, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK MY CAR FROM THE INSIDE I DECIDED TO CONTACT HONDA. THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAS 83,000 MILES ON IT. EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE NOV. 2009. MY STEERING WHEEL HAS ALSO CRACKED AND THE CASING HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VTC ACTUATOR HAD TO BE REPAIRED ( I HAD TO PERSONALLY DO RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSE MY CARS' ISSUE AND FIND THE SERVICE BULLETIN IN ORDER FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO COVER/FIX IT). MY CAR HAS RUN OUT OF OIL AND HAD TO GO THROUGH AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST (YET MY GAUGE STILL SAID 30%). THE ARM REST ON THE DRIVERS DOOR HAS ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO BUBBLING AND SLICING IN THE "LEATHER". AFTER ALL OF THESE ISSUES, HONDA STILL REFUSES TO FIX THE ACTUATOR PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR AND EXPECT HONDA TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PARTS/PRODUCTS/CARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE. *TR

DASHBOARD ILLUSTRATES AND INDICATES "SIDE AIRBAG" IS TURNED OFF, RANDOMLY. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY(ONCE A WEEK), WHILE NOTHING IS BLOCKING OR CONFLICTING WITH IT'S NORMAL OPERATION. IN THE EVENT OF A SIDE COLLISION, I'M DEEPLY CONCERNED THIS COULD BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR FAULTY SENSORS FOR WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO WORK PROPERLY.. OR WORSE... NOT AT ALL. *TR

BOUGHT CAR IN 2012 WITH 24,000 MILES. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A WHILE , A LOUD DRONING NOISE BECAME AUDIBLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM. RECENTLY HAD TIRES REPLACED AND CAR ALIGNED AT 57,000 MILES. NOISE BECAME MUCH LOUDER. TOOK CAR FOR INSPECTION AND MECHANIC SAID PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL BEARING WAS MAKING THE NOISE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST QUOTED IS APPROXIMATELY $330. *TR
