SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT I HAVE HAD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE AC ON THE RIGHT SIDE VENT ON MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD. IT IS OCTOBER OF 2011 AND THE DEALER HAS NOW REPLACED THE SAME BLOWER MOTOR 3 TIMES. IT ALLEVIATES THE ISSUE, ONLY FOR IT TO RETURN. THE DEALER HAS NO OTHER EXPLANATION. ALSO, I HAVE REPLACED 2 DOOR ACTUATOR MOTORS. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT IN DECEMBER OF 2009 AND IT IS OCTOBER OF 2011. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA DUE TO HAVING ISSUES OCCUR REPEATEDLY AND SO SOON AFTER A NEW PURCHASE. OBVIOUSLY BRAKES HAVE TO BE FIXED AGAIN AND AGAIN. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT TWO HONDA'S ON THE SAME DAY FROM PROCTOR HONDA IN TALLAHASSEE, FL. THE 2009 ACCORD HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A SAFETY DEFECT.. I CONTACTED THE DEALER I BOUGHT THEM FROM AND WAS TOLD VIA E MAIL THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TIME TO MAKE THAT REPAIR UNTIL 11-7-2011 OR LATER. I WAS JUST AT THE DEALER GETTING AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY WERE WORKING ON EVERY KIND OF CAR THE US MAKES. IT IS NOT A RECALL IF THEY DECIDE TO ASSIGN INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES TO CORRECT THIS. IT IS AN UNSAFE JOKE! THIS REPAIR TAKES ONE HOUR OR LESS ACCORDING TO ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER THAT HAD IT DONE IN JACKSONVILLE. *TR

THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, SHE WAS NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO COMPLAIN, BUT IT WAS BECAUSE OF MOLD. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THE AC TO BE FLUSHED TO GET RID OF THE ODOR AS SHE NEVER REQUESTED IT TO BEGIN WITH. *JB

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
A NOISE HAS DEVELOPED IN OUR 2009 HONDA ACCORD IN THE DASH, WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AND RIGHT SIDE "A" PILLAR AIR BAGS ARE LOCATED. THE CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO A LOCAL DEALER ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS. THEY CONTINUE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING SOME TYPE OF PADDING IN THE DASH. AFTER EACH REPAIR, THE NOISE RETURNS AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES. I HAVE ASKED THEM ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO REMOVE THE DASH/AIR BAGS AND INSPECT THE EFFECTED AREAS. I HAVE ALSO REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE HONDA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT. THEY HAVE INDICATED THEY WILL REVIEW MY INFORMATION AND HAVE SOMEONE CALL BACK. MY CONCERNS ARE; THAT SOMETHING IS LOOSE, CREATING THE NOISE, ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM MAY EXIST WITH THE AIR BAGS WHICH COULD RESULT IN EITHER AN UNWANTED/NON DEPLOYMENT SITUATION OR IF SOMETHING IS RUBBING ON A WIRING HARNESS A PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FIRE. *KB

DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MOTOR HAS STOPPED WORKING NOT ALLOWING WINDOW TO ROLL UP/DOWN. THE DEALER IS ATTEMPTING TO SAY IT IS THE AFTER MARKET TINTING.

REAR BRAKE WEAR SIGNAL INDICATOR STATED TO SQUEAL AND MAKE SCRAPING SOUNDS. INSPECTION REVEALS EXCESSIVE WEAR ON RIGHT REAR BRAKE. DEALER TOLD ME ON 09/13/2011, BRAKES ARE WARRANTED FOR 1 YEAR OR 12,000 MILES ONLY AND NO WARRANTY SERVICE WOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE. DEALER INFORMED ME ON 09/13/2011 THAT A FORM WILL BE PROVIDED, AS A RESULT OF LAW SUIT. THAT WOULD REIMBURSE ME $150.00. HOW CAN A LAWSUIT BE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT A SAFETY RECALL? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY '09 HONDA ACCORD STARTED HAVING BRAKE NOISES AT UNDER 20K MILES. UPON TAKING IN THE FIRST TIME AT 22K MILES I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDED NEW REAR BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACING ALREADY. AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING (BECAUSE BRAKES AREN'T USUALLY A WARRANTY ITEM, AND THIS WAS PRIOR TO THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT) THEY DID REPAIR AND REPLACE THEM FOR FREE. 1 YEAR LATER I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A SHIMMY WHEN BRAKING ON THE FREEWAY OR ESPECIALLY ON A HILL, AND WAS TOLD THEN THAT THE FRONT ROTORS ARE NOW MAGICALLY "WARPED". I DEALT WITH IT FOR A WHILE, BUT THEN RECENTLY BEGAN HEARING THE METAL ON METAL SOUND OF THE REAR PADS GOING OUT AGAIN. SURE ENOUGH, UPON TAKING TO THE DEALER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, IT DOES IN FACT NOW NEED REAR PADS AGAIN AT 46K MILES, AS WELL AS FRONT ROTOR RESURFACING....WHICH NOW I'M ALSO TOLD YOU CAN'T USE THE FRONT PADS ANYMORE WHEN YOU RESURFACE THE ROTORS. SO ESSENTIALLY, I'M REPLACING BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES(REAR BRAKES FOR THE SECOND TIME), AND RESURFACING FOR THE SECOND TIME AT ONLY 46K MILES. NATURALLY, THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT PEOPLE DON'T CARE AND WON'T COVER ANYTHING UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS CLEARLY A WELL KNOWN HONDA DEFECT. SORRY HONDA, BUT YOU JUST LOST A CUSTOMER WHO HAS OWNED 4 HONDAS UP TO THIS POINT. *TR

MY 09 ACCORD BEGAN MAKING HORRIBLE METAL ON METAL SCREECHING SOUND OUT OF THE BLUE AT 24,900 MILES. TOOK IT IN FOR CHECKUP AND WAS TOLD MY REAR ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO MANUFACTURER ERROR CAUSED BY CALIPER SLIDES BEING FROZEN AND TOO MUCH BRAKE PRESSURE APPLIED TO REAR BRAKES. WAS TOLD BY TECHNICIAN THAT HE HAS SEEN MANY ACCORDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OF MANUFACTURER ERROR. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS I WAS NOT AND HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BY HONDA.
