FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS MY HONDA ACCORD EXL (2014) HAS BEEN GIVING ME TROUBLE WHEN I TRY TO START IT UP. I PUT IN A NEW BATTERY ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAD IT TESTED SEVERAL TIMES. AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN I TRY TO START MY VEHICLE IT ONLY TURNS ON THE CONSOLE AND NOT THE ENGINE, AFTER I TURN IT OFF TO TRY TO START IT UP AGAIN THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS TO GET A BIT LOCKED AND IT ISN'T AS EASY TO PRESS DOWN ON IT.

WHEELS
VIBRATING AND OUT OF BALANCE SOUND SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE. DEALERSHIP WOULD ALWAYS CLAIM THEY COULD NOT "RECREATE THE NOISE" EVEN THOUGH I SAT IN THE CAR WITH THE TECH AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS A SOUND. THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS A FEW TIMES AND KICKED DIFFERENT IDEAS AROUND OF WHAT IT WAS UNTIL COMING TO THE IDEA IT WAS THE TIRES AND THEY'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE. TIRES WERE CHANGED AND STILL HAS A VIBRATION. TIRE TECH AT DISCOUNT TIRES SHOWED ME A SLIGHTLY OFFLINE WHEEL THAT HAS BEEN THE ISSUE SINCE DAY 1. HONDA MUST USE DEFECTIVE PARTS ON THEIR CARS. ANYTHING TO TURN A PROFIT I'M SURE, AND AT SOMEONE ELSE'S EXPENSE AND SAFETY.

IN JULY 2016, DEALER REPLACED STARTER BASED ON SERVICE BULLETIN. HAD COMPLAINED FOR SOME TIME THAT OCCASIONALLY WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STARTER ENERGIZES BUT DOES NOT ENGAGE THE FLYWHEEL. I PROVIDED A VIDEO OF THE OCCURRENCE TO THE DEALER WHICH PROMPTED THE REPLACEMENT IN JULY. CAR WAS FINE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN TO REOCCUR. RETURNED TO DEALER WHO EVALUATED AND BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. ON 12/6/16, TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START MY VEHICLE WITHOUT SUCCESS. ALL YOU HEAR IS THE WHINING OF THE STARTER, I HAVE ON VIDEO. LET VEHICLE SIT A WHILE AND TRIED LATER WITH SUCCESS. BROUGHT VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY, SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO. THE TOOK VEHICLE IN AND DETERMINED EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. THEY DID NOT EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE WITH THE STARTER BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT, OCCURRING ABOUT EVERY 3-4 DAYS. THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH WINTER IN FULL SWING, I WILL BE STRANDED OUT IN MY CAR BECAUSE OF A FAULTY STARTER. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE GOING ANYWHERE WITH MY VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), WHEELS
WHEN BRAKING, THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DECIDES TO SPONTANEOUSLY, VIOLENTLY, AND UNEXPECTEDLY TAKE CONTROL AND LOCK-UP THE BRAKES CAUSING THE PASSENGERS TO BE THROWN FORWARD AND THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN A MANNER NOT EXPECTED BY FOLLOWING TRAFFIC (OR THE DRIVER). THIS PUTS THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS AT RISK OF REAR-END COLLISION. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE PERCEIVES A NEARBY OBJECT AS A HAZARD (IE VEHICLE AHEAD MIGHT SLOW TO TURN RIGHT,, VEHICLE IN NEXT LANE APPEARS TO BE TRAVELING AT A MUCH SLOWER SPEED, WHEN CHANGING LANES TO PASS A SLOW-MOVING VEHICLE IN THE LANE DRIVER IS DEPARTING). THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. I SEE AT LEASE FOUR SIMILAR CASES FILED ON THE NHTSA SITE (10892728, 10895657, 10521912, 10503138), ALSO IN 2013 AND LATER HONDA ACCORDS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL:MY CAR WAS HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF ONLY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I GOT BACK IN, TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT WOULDN'T START. I WAS ON A CITY ST, SO I WALKED TO AUTO MECHANIC SHOP, GOT A JUMP, IT STARTED UP AFTER 5 TO 10 MINUTES. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I CALLED HONDA, GOT SOMEONE TO JUMP START THE CAR, DROVE TO HONDA, LEFT THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. HONDA CALLED ME STATING THAT THE BATTERY WAS GOOD, BUT THE SENSORS WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS, CHARGED ME $160. I PICKED UP THE CAR, DROVE IT HOME, THEN 2 DAYS LATER, THE CAR DIED OUT AGAIN. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN, THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN. I GOT THE CAR JUMPED IN ORDER TO TAKE IT BACK TO HONDA. THIS TIME, I LEFT THE CAR THERE FOR 3 DAYS. THEY TOLD ME THIS TIME THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD AND WANTED ME TO PAY FOR A BATTERY. I REFUSED TO PAY FOR A BATTERY, SENT THE MANAGER AN EMAIL IN REFERENCE TO THE FINDINGS THAT THEY SAID WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IN THE BEGINING, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY AND NOW I PAID FOR THE SENSOR AND THE CAR STILL CUT OFF. DID I REALLY NEED THE SENSORS OR WAS IT THE BATTERY IN THE FIRST PLACE? THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AT NO CHARGE. .
