TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CHIMING NOISE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED BUBBLES ON THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH EVENTUALLY CRACKED, AND THE EXTERIOR PAINT WAS BUBBLING. ADDITIONALLY, THE SUSPENSION AND ENGINE MADE ABNORMAL CRACKING AND HISSING NOISES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RICK CASE HONDA (157000 RICK CASE HONDA WAY, DAVIE, FL 33331) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SQUEAKING NOISE WAS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ALL THE OTHER ISSUES HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SO, YESTERDAY I FOUND MYSELF FACED WITH A DEAD BATTERY AFTER PARKING IN A PARKING LOT AND GOING INTO A STORE FOR 10 MINUTES, AND CALLED AAA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THEY DISPATCHED ROY'S TOWING WHO ARRIVED WITHING ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF THE INITIAL CALL. IAN, THE SERVICE TECH, CHECKED THE BATTERY AND FOUND IT ONLY HAD 18 COLD CRANKING AMPS, (IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND 500) I WAS TAKEN ABACK, AS THE CAR IS NOT THAT OLD AND VERY LOW MILEAGE. HE WENT ONE STEP FURTHER AND CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND IT'S CHARGING CAPACITY, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE JUST FINE. THE CAR IS JUST OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY 27,414 MILES ON IT. I RECENTLY WAS IN TO HAVE A BATTERY SENSOR REPLACED DUE TO A POSSIBLE SHORT, BUT THE DEALER JUST SPREAD SOME SEALER ON IT. COULD THIS BE THE PROBLEM? WE HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND THE ALTERNATOR, THIS AT 16, 212 MILES.. NOW THAT WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY,THE BATTERY, INSTALLATION, ETC. COST $123.00 TOTAL. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE WITH STARTER, ALTERNATOR AND FAILING BATTERIES AT LOW MILEAGE FOR THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD. A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM?

HONDA STARTER REPLACED UNDER 36K MILES BUT OUT OF WARRANTY BY TIMEFRAME. HONDA REFUSES T REIMBURSE FOR THE REPLACEMENT STARTER EVENTHOUGH THEY WERE NOTIFIED BEFORE THE VEHICLE REACHED 36K MILES. THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD V6 HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED WHERE THE STARTER WAS REPLACED (HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/ARTICLES/2013-2015-HONDA-ACCORD-CROSSTOUR-STARTER-ISSUE-1420684480836/ ) THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT WITHIN THIS SERVICE BULLETIN BUT HONDA WILL NOT REPAIR DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO THE CONSUMER THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND LEAVE US TO FIGHT TO TRY TO GET THEM TO DO WHATS RIGHT. THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA.

THE AIR BAG EXPLODED ON THE COLLISION ON A STREET AND CAUSED SEVERE BURNS ON HER HANDS. PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES BELOW. THIS IS CAUSING HER IMMENSE PAIN AND TRAUMA AND SHE IS HAVING TROUBLE PERFORMING DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES. THE INJURIES SHE SUFFERED BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG WERE MORE THAN THE ACTUAL COLLISION. THIS IS CAUSING HER TO GO IN DEPRESSION AND SHE IS SCARED OF THE AIRBAG, MORE THAN ANYTHING NOW. THE CAR IS BEYOND REPAIR AND IS BEING SALVAGED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

UPDATE TO PRIOR - VEHICLE STARTER WAS REPLACED WITH NEW AFTERMARKET UNIT, PROBLEM RESUMED AFTER A FEW WEEKS. PUSHING START BUTTON EXHIBITING NUMEROUSLY REPORTED PROBLEMS AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS REQUIRED TO GET IT TO START. HAD THE BATTERY SENSOR RECALL ITEM HONDA # KHO (THE INSPECTION AND RE-SEALING) DONE ON 10/18/17 - THAT NIGHT IT HAD THE SAME STARTING ISSUE... NO LINK WITH THE SENSOR (AT LEAST THE 'BAND-AID' FIX). I THEN CHECKED AND TIGHTENED THE NUTS AT BOTH ENDS OF THE BATTERY GROUND-TO-CHASSIS CABLE - WE'LL SEE IF THAT HELPS - THERE WAS NO SIGN OF CORROSION, BUT THE NUT DID TURN ABOUT 1/2 TURN AT THE CHASSIS SIDE... NOW HAVE 62600 MILES ON VEHICLE AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE ABOUT 39K... WE REALLY NEED A GOOD SOLID FIX - AND IF IT REALLY IS A STARTER PLACEMENT ISSUE, NEED A SOLUTION! AND HONDA NEEDS TO REIMBURSE EVERYONE FOR COSTS TO DATE!

I GOT A LETTER IN AUG 2017 ABOUT A "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" AND SINCE THEN THE COGGIN HONDA DEALERSHIP OF ORLANDO HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT THE RUN AROUND. THEY ANSWER MY CALLS AND SAY SOMEONE WILL GET BACK TO ME, BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENS TRIED TO REACH THE MANAGER TWICE BUT HE COULD NOT BE REACH THE SALESPERSON NO LONGER THERE. IF MY HONDA HAS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL I AM BEING LED TO BELIEVE THIS DEALERSHIP COULD CARE LESS. WE BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE WE FELT IT WAS A TRUSTED NAME AND IMAGINE WE WILL NOT GO VERY FAR OR USE IT MUCH UNTIL THE SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED. PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS PROBLEM OR LEAST GUIDE US IN WHAT TO DO NEXT.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE STEERING WENT STIFF. THE STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR HAD NO POWER STEERING. I MOVED INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE, EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND MADE IT HOME. I DIDN'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER, ESPECIALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY, THE WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A FAULT CODE FOR THE STEERING. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY ERASED THE FAULT CODE, REBOOTED THE COMPUTER AND SAID IT MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IF NOT THE EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) RACK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE ESTIMATED COST OF $2140. THE ACCORD HAD 60,900 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRED; 235 MILES LATER, I LOST POWER STEERING AGAIN AND HAD THE REPAIR DONE.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE BEEN DOING THE SERVICE WITH HONDA OF CONCORD SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THEM SINCE 2015. MY CAR TIRES GOT BURSTED THIS YEAR(2017) AND I WENT WITH MY INSURANCE THROUGH HONDA OF CONCORD COLLISION CENTER TO FIX THE SAME. DURING JAN 2017, THE HONDA CHECKED ALL MY TIRES AS PER MY INSURANCE FIXES ONLY 2 TIRES AND NEVER REPORTED ANY ISSUES WITH MY OTHER 2 TIRES. EVEN THE SERVICE STATION, WHERE I HAD BEEN DOING MY SERVICE SINCE 2015, DID NOT SUGGEST OR DID MY TIRE ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, PROACTIVELY, I DID MY TIRE ALIGNMENT @ 26000 MILES, WHEN HONDA OF CONCORD COLLISION CENTER REPLACED MY TIRES. AFTER THAT I HAVE DONE TIRE ROTATIONS, ROUTINE CHECK WITH OIL FILLS WITH HONDA OF CONCORD SERVICE STATION. SINCE MY SERVICE, IN THE PAST ONE MONTH, I HAD MY TPMS LIGHT ON FOR 3 TIMES, EVERY TIME I CALLED HONDA, THEY ASKED ME TO RESET IT MYSELF IN THE CAR, WHICH I DID. BUT, I FELT BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES AROUND 36 K MILES, I CALLED IN HONDA FOR APPOINTMENT SEP 2017. TODAY, WHEN I DROPPED MY CAR, HONDA SERVICE GUYS CALLED ME AND SAID, I OWN RESPONSIBILITY IN CHANGING MY TIRES WHICH HAS WEAR AND TEAR COVER TILL 60 K MILES AND I SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO CHANGE BRAKES AT REAR END, FLUIDS, ETC ETC.. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT MY WARRANTY ON TIRES AND BRAKES.. THEY WERE RELUCTANT AND SAID ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ALL OF A SUDDEN. I HAD GIVEN CAR FOR SERVICE ONLY A MONTH BACK, WHERE I ASKED THEM TO CHECK EVERYTHING AND I BELIEVE, THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING, SINCE THEY ARE REPORTING ME NOW TO DRIVE AS UNSAFE AND NOT AT THE TIME OF TIRE ROTATION OR CHECKS. THIS IS VERY BAD AND DINT EXPECT FROM HONDA

THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH IMPROPERLY TORQUED CONNECTING ROD BOLTS,WICH CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER OR LEAK OIL. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL,INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH.IF THE ENGINE LEAKS OIL IN THE PROXIMITY OF HOT ENGINE OR EXHAUST COMPONENTS,THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF A FIRE. HONDAS NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS JP2.I SEE SOME OIL BETWEEN BLOCK CYLINDER AND HEAD OF MY CAR.

THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I'D BRING MY CAR INTO THE DEALER TO CHECK MY TIRES, RE-INFLATE MY TIRES AND RESET THE LIGHT, AND THE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. I'M TIRED OF TAKING MY CAR EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS, AND HAVING TO CHECK MY TIRES SEEMINGLY ALL THE TIME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE STARTER HAVING A "GRINDING", "STATIC-LIKE", OR "WHINING" SOUND AND IT HAS SEEMINGLY AFFECTED MY CAR AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I AM PREPARING TO LEAVE FOR MY DESTINATION, DO A BASIC PRESS OF THE STARTER BUTTON, AND I WILL HEAR THAT GRINDING AND WHINING SOUND... ON OCCASION, IT WILL TAKE A NUMBER OF TRIES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON THE REGULAR. THERE IS A HONDA TECHNICAL BULLETIN (DATED FEBRUARY 5, 2016) NUMBER 16-002 IN REGARDS TO THE STARTER AND ALSO A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (MERKIN V. HONDA NORTH AMERICAN INC., AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., HONDA MOTOR COMPANY LTD.) I CANNOT PINPOINT AN EXACT DATE ON WHEN THIS STARTED (I GAVE YOU MY BEST ANSWER), BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I FEAR IF IT CONTINUES, IT COULD HURT MY CAR IN THE LONG RUN OR I COULD POSSIBLY BE STRANDED IF I GO ON A LONG JOURNEY SOMEWHERE
