I BROUGHT MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD IN FOR A REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. I ONLY HAVE 30,000 MILES WHICH A LOT OF THESE MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES. NEVER WITH ANY LEASE I HAVE HAD IN THE PAST 18 YEARS, DID I EVER HAVE TO REPLACE BRAKES. THE CARS WERE RETURNED WITHIN THE 36,000 MILE ALLOWANCE. THEY WERE NOT HONDA LEASES, HOWEVER, THIS WAS MY FIRST HONDA. PRIOR LEASES WERE CADILLAC AND NISSAN VEHICLES. *TR

2009 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPAIRS RELATED TO REMOTE START AND MAIN FUSE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, SHE PURCHASED A HONDA CARE VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACT EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH A REMOTE START. HOWEVER, ON NOVEMBER 13, 2011, HER SON WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED A MAIN FUSE HAD BLOWN, POSSIBLY DUE TO THE REMOTE START. THE FUSE WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, ON DECEMBER 9, 2011, THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN AGAIN, AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. IT WAS DETERMINED, A WIRE IN THE REMOTE START BLEW THE MAIN FUSE AGAIN. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY $241.31 FOR THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER REFUSED TO THE HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THE CONSUMER PURCHASED, BECAUSE THEY WERE CONCERNED THAT THE REMOTE START WAS AN AFTER MARKET COMPONENT. IT WAS DETERMINED, THAT THE SELLING DEALER DID IN FACT INSTALL THE REMOTE START THROUGH AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE. *JB

STEERING, STEERING:COLUMN
THERE IS A KNOWN FABRICATION DEFECT OF THE STEERING COLUMN ON HONDA ACCORD 2009 MODEL. A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BY HONDA CORPORATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE IN 2009. THE LOWER BEARING OF THE STEERING COLUMN WAS MIS-INSTALLED. AS A RESULT, THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES A CLUNK NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. I FIRST BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SOON AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2009. THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MEANWHILE THE STEERING BECAME STICKY. IN OTHER WORDS THE BEARING IN CAUSING BINDING. I AM AFRAID THAT AT A SUDDEN TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL, THE BEARING MIGHT SHATTER AND LOCK UP THE STEERING COLUMN. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *KB
