ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HI, I PURCHASED A HONDA ACCORD (EXL, V6) OF 2011 MODEL. I AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS EXPERIENCE HEADACHE WHENEVER WE USE THE CAR, MAINLY FOR LONG DRIVE (SAY, MORE THAN 2 HOURS). I THINK ITS DUE TO ITS NEW ELECTRONIC NOISE CANCELLATION SYSTEM (THAT HONDA INSTALLED IN ITS ACCORD MODELS AROUND 2010) AND HIGH INTERNAL CABIN NOISE, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHER SPEED. HONDA RECONFIGURED THE NOISE CANCELLATION SYSTEM IN ITS 2013 ACCORD MODELS. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA TECHNICAL SERVICE AND TWO HONDA DEALERS. NONE FIND/ACKNOWLEDGE ANY ISSUE WITH THE CAR OR WITH ITS NOISE CANCELLATION/SOUND SYSTEM. I WANTED TO INFORM YOUR ORGANIZATION WITH AN AIM TO KNOW IF THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION (FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE) OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF THAT PARTICULAR HONDA MODEL AND IF I AM ENTITLED FOR REFUND. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH APPROXIMATELY 1/3 OF THE WINDOW BLOWING OUT WHILE IT WAS FULLY CLOSED. I WAS DRIVING ON AN ELEVATED INTERSTATE WITHOUT ANY CARS AROUND ME. THE SUNROOF HAD NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY HIT BY A ROCK. THE EXPLOSION SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN FIRING, SHOCKING ALL 3 OF THE ADULTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE INITIAL HONDA DEALERSHIP STATED I WAS HIT BY A ROCK WITHOUT SEEING THE VEHICLE. A SECOND DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHY THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. CORPORATE HONDA HAS STATED THE WINDOW IS MY PROBLEM AND CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I BROUGHT THE CAR USED CERTIFIED WITH 6,800 MILES. AFTER A WEEK OF DRIVING, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT HAS A MIND OF IT OWN,I DON'T HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE CAR. EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP THE CAR WILL SWING LEFT AND RIGHT. OR WHEN I'M GOING OVER 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR MOVES LEFT AND RIGHT BY IT SELF. SOMETHING FEELS LOOSE, I WAS DRIVING LOCAL ON 11/25/12 AND MADE A LEFT TURN, THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF ON ME, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OR WITH THE SUSPENSION. MY FRIEND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS CAR, THE SUSPENSION ON THE 2011 HONDA ACCORD SE DON'T FEEL RIGHT.THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED, I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD AND A NEW BORN IN MY HOUSE THAT GOES IN AND OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T NEED TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS FOR THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING
AT APPROXIMATELY 50+ MPH THE FRONT OF THE CAR SHAKES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST OVER AN YEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, SAID NOTHING IS WRONG. IT STARTS TO SHAKE SO BAD THAT YOU HAVE TO LET UP ON THE ACCELERATOR AND ALMOST STOP, BEFORE YOU FEEL SAFE ENOUGH TO CONTINUE ON. SHAKING IS THE WORSE FOR THE FIRST 3 MILES AT THE START OF THE DAY BUT NEVER SEEMS TO COMPLETELY GOES AWAY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS COMPLETING A LEFT HAND TURN, I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE AND MY CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE DESPITE MY FOOT BEING FIRMLY APPLIED TO THE BRAKE. I CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE YET THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WHERE I HIT AN EMBANKMENT / TREE, I STEERED THE CAR BACK ONTO THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I CONTACTED HONDA THOUGH WAS GIVEN A REPORT INDICATING THAT THERE WEREN'T ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES & THE HONDA FACTORY ENGINEER DROVE THE CAR 5 TO 6 MILES WITHOUT ACCELERATION ISSUES. I'M GREATLY CONCERNED BECAUSE I DROVE THE CAR FOR OVER 13,000 MILES PRIOR TO THIS WITHOUT HAVING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AND I'VE READ ROUGHLY 18 OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2011 ACCORD ON THIS SITE CITING VARIOUS ACCELERATION PROBLEMS! JUST SEEMS TO ME THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING MORE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO JUST WALK AWAY FROM THE CAR! *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:TRUNK LID
THE TRUNK LID ON MY WIFE'S 2011 HONDA ACCORD CAME DOWN AND HIT MY FOREHEAD AND CAUSED A CUT AND BLEEDING. THE HONDA TRUNK LID DOES NOT STAY UP IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN ALL THE WAY UP. THEY HAVE NO SAFETY DEVICES INSTALLED ON THE TRUCK LID AS OTHER VEHICLES HAVE. THIS TRUNK LID HAS HIT MY WIFE AND I A FEW TIMES. WHEN WE PUSH IT UP, WE EXPECT IT TO STAY UP IN ALL POSITIONS LIKE OTHER CARS. THIS IS A UNSAFE CONDITION THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO ANYONE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS SITUATION. I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND ALSO WROTE TO THEIR HEADQUARTERS AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THE TRUNK LID. "IT WOULD NEED A MODIFICATION AND WE DON'T DO THAT". PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. THE POWER OF THE LID COMING DOWN SO FAST CLOUD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES, TO ADULTS AND CHILDREN.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE TRUNK ON THE 2011 HONDA ACCORD DOES NOT STAY UP UNLESS YOU PUSH IT ALL THE WAY UP. I WAS LOADING A BAG INTO THE TRUNK AND THE TRUNK CAME DOWN AND HIT ME ON MY FOREHEAD. I RECEIVED A CUT FOREHEAD. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT. MY WIFE WAS HIT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND I WAS HIT. IF A SHORT WOMAN/CHILD CAN NOT PUSH THE TRUNK ALL THE WAY UP, IT COULD COME DOWN AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. A MODIFICATION CAN BE MADE BY INSTALLING A DOOR HOLDING DEVICE AVAILABLE IN MANY OTHER VEHICLES. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO HONDA AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THERE ARE NO SAFETY WARNINGS ON THE TRUNK. *TR

SEATS
THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DUE TO OVER PROTRUDING LUMBAR SUPPORT. TOOK CAR INTO DEALERSHIP TO ASK ABOUT ADJUSTING THE SUPPORT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO WAY TO DO IT AND THIS IS MY ONLY OPTION. WAS TOLD THAT LUMBER ADJUSTMENT WAS AVAILABLE IN HIGHER TRIM MODEL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BASIC FUNCTION AND DON'T SEE WHY I WOULD NEED TO BUY A TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE ADJUSTMENT AVAILABLE. IT IS SO BAD THAT IT IS ACTUALLY HURTING MY LOWER BACK WHEN I'M DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. *TR

SEATS
THE FRONT SEATS IN THE 2011 HONDA ACCORD NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. IT HAS CAUSED ME (AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ONLINE) TO HAVE SEVERE BACK PAIN. THE LOWER LUMBAR SUPPORT STICKS OUT WAY TO FAR AND CAUSES UNEVEN SUPPORT TO YOUR LOWER AND UPPER BACK. I HAVE NEVER HAD BACK ISSUES, BUT AFTER DRIVING THIS CAR FOR A WEEK, I AM IN SERIOUS PAIN. SO WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? GO BUY EXPENSIVE AFTERMARKET PILLOWS THAT DON'T WORK? TRADE THE CAR BACK IN AND LOSE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS? OR MAYBE I SHOULD JUST LIVE WITH THE PAIN AND ABSORB THE COST OF A CHIROPRACTOR? NORMALLY I WOULDN'T COMPLAIN, BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. JUST LOOK IT UP ONLINE. THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP OR HONDA COULD GET SUED. THERE IS ENOUGH INFO OUT THERE AND UPSET CUSTOMERS TO CAUSE HONDA A HUGE LEGAL NIGHTMARE. *TR

SEATS
SEATS IN 2011 HONDA ACCORD ARE UNBEARABLE ESPECIALLY PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER RIDING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BACK HURTS & REMAINS SORE AFTERWARDS. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED(STILL UNDER WARRANTY), WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. ITS THE SEATS DESIGN & WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME TO TRY USING A PILLOW TO SIT IN A DIFFERENT POSITION. I DON'T THINK U SHOULD HAVE TO USE A PILLOW FOR COMFORT IN A $ 28000 CAR. *TR
