STEERING
THE VEHICLE'S STEERING GOT VERY HARD TO TURN WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. IT BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER ALL THE WAY TO THE KINGWOOD HONDA SERVICE DEPT. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED IMMEDIATE AND WITHOUT WARNING. AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IT NORMALIZED AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING GOT VERY STIFF. THUS FAR THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED ME TODAY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO CALL HONDA IN THE MORNING FOR GUIDANCE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
BACKED OUT OF PARKING SPOT, UPON SHIFTING TO DRIVE, THE REAR VIEW CAMERA DISPLAY WAS BLACK EXCEPT FOR TWO RED LINES. DROVE ABOUT 60 FEET THEN UPON MAKING A RIGHT TURN I REALIZED THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO OPERATE. REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE THROTTLE THEN REAPPLIED MY FOOT AND THE ENGINE WAS THEN RESPONSIVE TO THE THROTTLE. THE DISTANCE WAS APPROX. 20 FEET AND THE TIME 10 SECONDS THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE. THIS CAR HAS MANY INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, BUT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE VERY SERIOUS IN TRAFFIC. *TR

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING AND WAS ABOUT TO TURN ON TO MY STREET AND MY POWER STEERING FAILED. IT BECAME REALLY HARD TO TURN. IF THERE WAS A CAR PARKED I WOULD HAVE HIT THAT CAR. I PARKED SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT SEEM FINE TILL I TURNED THE STEERING AND AS SOON AS I DID IT DID THE SAME EXACT THINGS. HONDA REPLACED THE PART. BUT ITS REALLY DANGEROUS AND I WORRY IF OR WHEN IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT LOW SPEED FROM A STOP SIGN, MY CAR LOST STABILITY AND STEERING FELT UNUSUAL. TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER. THE TWO SUBSEQUENT TURNS (RIGHT AND THEN LEFT) ON THE SAME DRIVE YIELDED SIMILAR FEELINGS. WHEN I LOOKED INTO THIS, I FOUND REPORTS OF AN INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA REGARDING LOSS OF POWER STEERING ON THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT WAS RELATED AND FELT IT BEST TO FILE A REPORT. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ALONE INTO A MARKED SPACE IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE AND HIT THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED INTO THE CONCRETE BASE OF A LIGHT POLE. IMMEDIATELY, THE VEHICLE BUMPER CRUMPLED, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HOOD CRUMPLED, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ACTIVATED. THERE WAS NO ONE EXCEPT MYSELF IN THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT ACTIVATE. AT THIS DATE, NOVEMBER 10, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING (APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH) AND SQUEAKING NOISE WAS EMITTING FROM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. PRIOR TO THIS, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT, ANTI LOCK BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, ANTI SKID WARNING LIGHT, ALL ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AT DCH HONDA, TEMECULA IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING WAS BROKEN / FALLING APART. IT WAS STATED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE BEARING WAS REPLACED AND THAT THIS WAS COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS NOTIFICATION (TECHNICAL BULLETINS, RECALLS) ON THIS ISSUE. DRIVERS BEWARE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT "PLAY" IN THE REAR WHEEL WHILE ATTACHED TO THE HUB. IF THE BEARING CAME COMPLETELY UNDONE, THE WHEEL COULD COME OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

AIR BAGS
I CONTACTED POHANKA HONDA IN SALISBURY MARYLAND ABOUT THE DANGER OF THE AIR BAG EXPLODING AND CAUSING INJURY TO ME OR MY FAMILY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT IT WAS REGIONAL AND THIS AREA AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THEY REFERRED ME TO HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA AND I WAS TOLD THAT IF I WANTED TO CHECK OUT MY AIRBAG I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE INSPECTION. I DISAGREE BECAUSE THIS REGION BECOMES HOT AND THE CONDITIONS CAN BE AS HUMID AS FLORIDA OR OTHER SOUTHERN STATES. IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE INSPECTION OR PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) I WAS TRAVELING AT 75 MPH. THIS SYSTEM IS SUPPOSE TO REDUCE YOUR SPEED WHEN IT SEES ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU AND THEN BRING YOU BACK UP TO SPEED WHEN THE OBSTACLE IS NO LONGER PRESENT. I WAS ON A 4 LANE LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY (2 LANES EACH DIRECTION). I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME BUT THERE WAS AN 18 WHEEL TRUCK ABOUT 150 FEET IN FRONT OF ME IN THE RIGHT LANE. WE WERE APPROACHING A LEFT CURVE AND ON A SLIGHT INCLINE TO THE CURVE. AS WE ENTERED THE CURVE THE ACC SONAR DETECTOR SAW THE 18 WHEELER IN THE OTHER LANE AND DISENGAGED THE ACC AND APPLIED THE BRAKES, WITHOUT WARNING. THIS BROUGHT MY SPEED DOWN QUICKLY FROM 75. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE REAL DANGER HERE IS THAT THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE CAR TO BRAKE; THE SONAR SAW AN OBSTACLE IN A DIFFERENT LANE; HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE BEEN FOLLOWING ME THE SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH. I AM A FORMER CRASH INVESTIGATOR. AS SUCH, I CAN TELL YOU THIS SITUATION WILL BE PROBLEMATIC. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR GIVES YOU THE OPTION OF USING THE ACC OR TRADITIONAL CRUISE CONTROL - I HAVE DISABLED THE ACC FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON OCTOBER 9 2013 I HAD GOTTEN UP TO GO TO WORK, AS I GOT UP TO GO TO WORK THAT MORNING I NOTICED THAT THE SEAT. DID NOT MOVE UP WARD. I STARTED TO DRIVE TO WORK BUT I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE IN MY SEATING POSITION. SO AS I WENT TO READJUST THE SEAT THE WHO SEAT SLAMMED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. AND I FELT LIKE A LOWER WHIPLASH TO MY LOWER BACK AND SPINE. THE SEAT FELL BACK AS I WAS DRIVING AND ADJUSTING THE SEAT I ALSO TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL ALMOST INTO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC AND PERSON NEXT TO ME. I REGAINED CONTROL OF MY CAR BUT NOW I WAS SITTING ON THE LOWEST LEVEL OF THE SEATS POSITION. I PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY LOWER BACK WAS HURTING AND LOOKED AT THE SEAT. NOTHING HAD BEEN TAMPERED OR TOUCHED. I THEN MANUALLY PUT THE SEAT BACK INTO ITS UPPER POSITION SINCE IT NOW NO LONGER COULD ADJUST WITH THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL. FORWARD, AND BACK AND DOWN YOU COULD STILL MOVE BUT UPWARD NO MORE. AGAIN GOT BACK IN MY CAR ONLY NOW TO JUST MOVE FORWARD A FEW MPH THE SEAT AGAIN FELL BACK DUE TO THE FORWARD MOTION OF THE CAR AND GRAVITY. I TOOK THIS TO THE HONDA BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE TO SHOCKLEY HONDA ONLY FOR THEM TO SAY THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME $120 TO JUST LOOK AT THE ISSUE. AND THEN TO TELL ME IT WILL TAKE $1200 TO FIX IT! SO SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN ONLY PROFIT. I SINCE HAVE TO PUT A BOX UNDER THE SEAT TO KEEP IT FROM SLIDING BACK AND FROM HURTING MY BACK FURTHER MORE. BUT TIME TO TIME THE BOX MOVED AND THE SEAT CONTINUES TO SLIDE BACK AND FURTHER INJURY TO MY BACK OR IF NOT ADDRESS COULD CAUSE FURTHER INJURY TO OTHERS DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR BUT I HAVE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS STILL A CAR TO GET ME TO WORK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CENTER CONSOLE HAS BEEN GETTING STUCK. THE SCREEN ITSELF GETS STUCK IN REVERSE AND HAS NOW THE SIDE CAMERA HAS GOTTEN STUCK AS WELL. THE BLUETOOTH IS ALSO MESSING UP AND THE USB MESSED UP MY PHONE. THERE IS SOMETHING MAJORLY WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL IN MY CAR. IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WOULD START MY CAR AND THE RADIO WOULD SWITCH TO THE CD PLAYER AND I WOULDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING. THEN THE BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN WOULD GET STUCK AND NOW THE SIDE CAMERA AND NOW THE BLUETOOTH. I'M DONE! THIS IS MY 4TH ACCORD OUT OF 5 CARS. I KNOW A LOT ABOUT CARS AND THIS ISN'T RIGHT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE UPDATED IT AND SAID IT WOULD BE FIXED AND IT ISN'T. FIX THE THING OR LEMON LAW IT. IT'S GOING BACK INTO THE SHOP TONIGHT, SO LETS SEE! *TR

POWER TRAIN
AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. IT HAPPENS IN BOTH REVERSE AND DRIVE. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE REVS REALLY HIGH (4,000 TO 5,000 RPM) BUT THE CAR BARELY MOVES AT ALL. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER ABOUT 20 - 30 SECONDS EVEN AFTER SHIFTING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS PRETTY RANDOM (I.E. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME), BUT I HAVE FIGURED OUT A WAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. IF THE CAR IS PARKED ON AN ANGLE SUCH AS THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE SUCH AS IN SLOPED PARKING LOT, OR THE FRONT HIGHER THAN THE BACK ON AN INCLINE LIKE MY DRIVEWAY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS SAFETY RELATED BECAUSE WITH THE ENGINE AT A VERY HIGH RPM IF THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY "KICKS IN" IT WOULD CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION - IMAGE A CAR UNEXPECTEDLY LUNGING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

SEATS
THE MEMORY SEAT ADJUSTMENT HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY IN MY NEW 2013 HONDA ACCORD XL. THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF HONDA. IT WAS ATTRIBUTED TO A SWITCH FAILURE. THE MEMORY SEATS SIMPLY WOULD NOT ADJUST THEMSELVES TO THE DRIVER'S SETTING, IT WAS NECESSARY TO RE-ADJUST THE SEATS MANUALLY. MEMORY SEAT ADJUSTMENT STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY OCT. 2014. I AM ALMOST SORRY I PURCHASED THIS CAR. WHY SHOULD I BE CHARGED FOR A REPLACEMENT SWITCH WHICH IS CLEARLY MANUFACTURER FAILURE? *TR
