TIRES
235/45R18 94S M+S I originally purchased these tires because they were rated #2 on top 10 anti-hydroplaning lists. After receiving the tires I realized the anti-hydroplaning characteristics are due to an unusually deep tire tread. After driving them a bit I realized that the tire compound had excessive lack of grip on lightly wet surfaces and often on dry surfaces. So they may be good for anti-hydroplaning as long as the tree depth is deep, but the worst traction for dry or slightly wet surfaces for ANY tire I have ever driven. Going down slight downhills with a turn is extremely dangerous even at slow speeds. This morning I was going down a short street with a slight grade and a turn at the bottom when the car failed to turn and continued straight (like on ice). These tires (same on my wife's Mazda) have had traction problems since we bought and installed them. My wife's Mazda won't go up hills with turns on dry pavement and at slow speeds without losing traction. All tires on both vehicles have decent tread depth. This is a dangerous driving condition on uphill/w turns and especially on downhill/w turns. I believe the NTSB should do an investigation into car accident deaths occurring on graded hills with turns at the top or bottom of the inclinations. The tire in suspect is the Firestone Winterforce 2 tire. Please investigate this to possibly save lives. And if a high accident rate is found please have these tires recalled.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
The car for the longest time makes a screech at first start and sometimes at other times. Also the steering is off center and wheel turns left and right when brakes applied and when going over bumps. I had steering and shocks and struts replaced and adjusted as well as alignments done problems still there. I had those parts replaced due to originally having problems with handling. I took car back to adjust twice still have problem. The noise is still there at start too. Not safe.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I own a 2010 Honda Accord. I was driving on the highway while driving at approximately 60 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle started to shake and failed to operate as needed. I was able to navigate the vehicle off the roadway. The vehicle was towed to a dealership where the vehicle was diagnosed that the piston rings needed to be replaced. I have 59,000 original miles on it! I was told by the service advisor that it was common in Hondas with v6 due to the Ecco or vcm. I found out extended warranty was given to owners, I didn't. I want to know why I didn't and why I never received a recall? I'm not spending $6000 for something that was a terrible design. Please call Helen Crowe or David Bryant 317-701-7600 or email [email protected]

SERVICE BRAKES
ABS System suddenly failed. Cost of repair exceeds $3,000, largely due to huge cost of the part itself which can only be purchased from Honda.

The two catelletic converters are broken at the same time? The part guy said 1 is broken and the other just isn’t working. How can this be on a car that has less than 125,000 miles?

I purchased a 2010 Honda last year. And the engine makes a loud noise. As well as burns through oil. I get an oil change. And at 80% I end up having to purchase 2 quarts and add more oil to the engine. That is not normal.

ENGINE
I have a 2010 Accord coupe I notice ac/heat vent problems and a leak in the coolant inside the passenger floor/console area. So I researched it and saw this Manufacturer Communication ID: 10120775 says: In this service bulletin, Honda alerted dealerships that the driver’s side vent may produce a lower level of heat than what is coming from the front passenger’s vent. The most common cause is that the car’s heater core is partially clogged. When this happens, it can cause the heater's performance to fail. The company instructed dealerships that encounter this problem to flush the heater core to resolve it. No recall has been issued, but dealerships should know how to handle this problem. I will reach out to Honda dealerships in my area to see what happens.
