SEATS
I NEVER HAD BACK PAIN. I NOW HAVE BACK PAIN AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A WEEK. IT FELT LIKE A SOLID PIECE OF WOOD OR A BRICK WAS IN THE SEAT. THERE IS NO SEAT ADJUSTMENT THAT IS COMFORTABLE. IT TURNS OUT THE NEW DESIGN FOR THE HEADREST TO PUSH FORWARD IN A REAREND CRASH HAS INCLUDED A BIG PLASTIC PANEL HELD ON BY 2 METAL BARS LOCATED IN THE SEAT JUST BEHIND THE CUSHION (I REMOVED SEAT BACK TO SEE THIS). THIS BARS ATTACHED TO THE PLASTIC PULLS THE HEADREST FORWARD IF YOUR BACK IS PUSHED AGAINST THE SEAT. THE LUMBAR IS ALSO ATTACHED TO THIS PLASTIC. IF YOU SIT IN THE SEAT AND PULL THE HEADREST FORWARD YOU CAN FEEL THE LUMP GO AWAY FOR THE MOST PART. REMOVING THE PLASTIC IS THE ONLY THING THAT MADE THE SEAT COMFORTABLE. HOWEVER THAT DISABLES THE SAFETY FEATURE SO I CAN'T DO THAT PERMANENTLY. HOWEVER THAT SHOWED ME THE PLASTIC IN THE SEAT BACK IS THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 6/26/12 *CN *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
AT 42K MILES, BRAKE WEAR INDICATOR BEGAN TO INDICATE PREMATURE WEAR ON LEFT REAR WHEEL. I KNOW THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH 2008-2009 AND SOME 2010 MODELS, FIGURED IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WHEN I RECEIVED MINE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION JUMPS. HESITATES AND STALLS SOMEWHAT FREQUENTLY, A LOT MORE THAN TO BE EXPECTED OF A CAR ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. MORE SO AT THE LOWER GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING. RPM IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THROTTLE INPUT. UNFORTUNATELY, IT DOES NOT TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SO HONDA DOES NOT SEE AN ISSUE, BUT SOMETHING IS OFF WITH THE DRIVABLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARD TO THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THROUGH MY OWN RESEARCH, HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL DUE TO PREMATURE WEAR OF THE REAR BRAKES IN MY MODEL YEAR ACCORD, HOWEVER I LEARNED THAT THEY RECENTLY SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN RESPONSE TO OWNER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAD 22,000 MILES ON IT AS OF APRIL 24, 2012, THE DATE OF MY LAST SERVICE. I WAS INFORMED BY A DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN THAT MY REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY HAD ONLY 2 MM OF BRAKE PAD LEFT ON THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT MY FRONT PADS HAD 7 MM OF BRAKE PAD REMAINING ON THEM. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN IF THERE WAS A REASON FOR WHY REAR BRAKE PADS WOULD WEAR OUT SO QUICKLY ON A VEHICLE TO WHICH I WAS GIVEN THE ANSWER THAT MOST AUTOMOBILES NOWADAYS HAVE THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM PROVIDING MORE OF THE STOPPING POWER THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS. I NEED NOT GO INTO MY OWN KNOWLEDGE, NOR MY PERSONAL OPINION IN THIS MATTER. HOWEVER, THE REASON I AM LODGING THIS COMPLAINT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH MY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW BRAKING SYSTEMS WORK IN AUTOMOBILES. HENCE, I THOUGHT IT PRUDENT TO APPRISE YOUR INSTITUTION TO THIS ISSUE SO AS TO POINT OUT WHAT MAY BE A MATERIAL DEFECT IN MY AUTOMOBILE, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS AS I WOULD PRESUME. FOR THE RECORD, I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW, HAVE HAD IT REGULARLY SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S GUIDELINES, AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO ANY OUT OF THE ORDINARY DRIVING CONDITIONS. *JS

SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING
THIS COMPLAINT REGARDS MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD. AT AROUND 21,500 MILES, I NOTICED MY VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A HUMMING SOUND TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SOUND WOULD INCREASE AS THE CAR ACCELERATED AND DECREASE AS THE CAR DECELERATED. WHEN I BROUGHT MY ACCORD IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON 04/24/12, I INFORMED THE DESK AGENT AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP OF THE NOISE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE NOISE STEMMED FROM A WHEEL BEARING THAT HAD GONE BAD ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THIS MALFUNCTION WAS STILL COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE, I FELT THE NEED TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AS THIS WAS A PREMATURE MALFUNCTION OF A VERY CRUCIAL PART TO MY VEHICLE. IT SEEMS AS IF THE DAMAGE OCCURRED WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF, AND I CUT THE WHEEL TO GET A BETTER VANTAGE POINT UNDER MY WHEEL WELL. I MAKE THIS ASSUMPTION SINCE I HADN'T HEARD THE NOISE BEFORE DOING THIS, AND THEN THE FIRST TIME I DROVE MY CAR AFTER DOING THIS, WHICH HAPPENED TO BE AN HOUR LATER, THE NOISE BECAME APPARENT. MANY OTHER PERSONS THAT OWN A SIMILAR VEHICLE AS MINE MAY NOT THINK MUCH OF THIS NOISE IF THEIR VEHICLE(S) HAVE SIMILAR MILEAGE SUCH AS MINE SINCE WHEEL BEARINGS TYPICALLY LAST MUCH LONGER THAN THIS. THIS COULD BE A CATASTROPHIC MISTAKE IF THIS ASSUMPTION IS MADE, SO I FIGURED IT PRUDENT TO ADVISE ON MY EXPERIENCE IN CASE THIS WERE TO HAPPEN TO ANOTHER VEHICLE OWNER OR LESSEE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION TO MINE. FOR THE RECORD, MY CAR HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN, THE DEALER SAID MY REAR BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY FRONT BRAKES WERE FINE AND HAD TWICE AS MUCH PAD LIFE LEFT ON THEM COMPARED TO THE REAR PADS. THE COST WOULD BE $249- TO REPLACE THE REAR PADS. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR WHERE THE REAR BRAKES NEED REPLACING BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKES. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

WHEELS, SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
AT 20,000 MILES THE VEHICLE HAD A FAILED WHEEL BEARING (NOISE/VIBRATION), PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT. DRIVER-SIDE FRONT WHEEL BEARING FAILED AT 34,000 MILES. DEALER REPLACED THE HUB/BEARING ASSEMBLIES UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A DEFECT, AS THE BEARINGS SHOULD NOT FAIL AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. HOW LONG WILL THE REPLACEMENT BEARINGS LAST ? *TR

AIR BAGS
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING 2010 HONDA ACCORD BACK FROM WORK AT 2:00PM AFTERNOON. SHE WAS IN THE NEXT STREET WHICH WAS HARDLY 500 FT LONG AT THE APPX SPEED OF 20MPH. SHE LOST THE CONTROL AND HIT A SMALL TREE ON LEFT SIDE END OF THE STREET AND CAR ROLLED OVER. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD AND SHE WAS WEARING SEAT BELT AND FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYED. BUT EVEN THOUGH CAR FLIPPED & ROLLED OVER, SIDE & CURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH POSSIBLY RESULTED IN VERY SERIOUS INJURY TO HER LEFT HAND. BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE & PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW GLASSES COMPLETELY SHATTERED. SHE NEVER LOST HER CONSCIOUSNESS AND SHE COULD NOT RECALL WHY THIS HAPPENED. ALL SHE REMEMBER IS THAT SHE WAS GOING TO HIT THE TREE AND TRIED TO STEER AWAY FROM IT. *TR

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY TO ONLY FIND OUT NOW I NEED TO GET MY BRAKES REPLACED AT A LITTLE LESS THAN 35K ON MY CAR AND THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE NO WEAR.
