VISIBILITY/WIPER, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
I WENT TO PULL MY VISOR DOWN AND I HEARD A LOUD CRACK NOISE FROM THE VISOR. THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP ANYMORE, JUST HANGS ABOUT 2-3" FROM THE CEILING OF THE CAR. WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY EVEN IF IT'S ONLY A YEAR OLD. *TR

TIRES
I BOUGHT A NEW 2013 HONDA ACCORD 2DR EX-L V6 OFF THE FLOOR OF THE DEALERSHIP ON APRIL 1, 2014. THE DEALER HAD CHANGED THE STANDARD 18 IN WHEELS TO 19'S AND THE STANDARD GOOD YEAR TIRES TO BRIVERY DGESTONE TURANZA EL 400 02'S. AFTER I HAD PUT ABOUT 3,500 MILES ON THE CAR, A SMALL STAPLE (1/16 IN DEEP) PUNCTURED ONE TIRE JUST BETWEEN THE WALL AND THE TREAD,AND THE WALL FAILED AND IT RAN FLAT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THESE TIRES. THERE WAS A GOOD YEAR TIRE WARRANTY BOOKLET IN THE GLOVE BOX BUT NO BRIDGESTONE BOOKLET FOR THE TURANZA'S. WHEN I PUT THE SPARE TIRE ON TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, I LEARNED THAT THE SPARE WAS MOUNTED ON A 17 IN RIM AND WAS NOT A LOW PROFILE TIRE LIKE THE TURANZA'S. MY COMPLAINTS ARE (1) THE 17 INCH STANDARD TIRE FOR A SPARE WHEN IT IS 2 INCHES SMALLER THAN THE OTHER TIRES AND IS NOT A LOW PROFILE. I AM WORRIED THAT IF I DRIVE VERY FAR ON THE SPARE I WILL DAMAGE RUNNING GEAR OR BREAK AN AXLE DUE TO THESE DIFFERENCES. (2) ALL THE TURANZA'S ON THE HONDA SAY THEY WERE MADE IN JAPAN AND WHEN I TRIED TO REGISTER THE TIRES ON LINE WITH BRIDGESTONE, IT ASKED FOR A CITY AND DOT. THE DOT IS EJN1JHE3612 BUT THERE IS NO CITY ON THE TIRE SO CAN'T REGISTER IT. THE BRIDGESTONE WEBSITE LISTS LOCATIONS OF MANUFACTURING PLANTS BUT NONE ARE LISTED IN JAPAN. AM I RUNNING KNOCK-OFF BRIDGESTONE TIRES? AND (3) THE TIRE FAILED AT THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN THE WALL AND THE TREAD FROM A VERY SMALL STAPLE THAT BARELY STUCK TO THE RUBBER AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE WERE IT MADE TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING DOWN FARRIS RD AT ~40 MPH THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THIS HAPPENED ON THE WAY BACK FROM MY PREGNANT WIFE'S DOCTOR APPOINTMENT. WE PULLED OVER TO THE NEAREST EMPTY PARKING LOT AND READ THE MANUAL. WE HADN'T BEEN DOING ANY OF THE THINGS THE MANUAL SAID WOULD CAUSE THIS. OVER THE NEXT 10 MILES THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. ONCE WHILE SITTING STILL IN A DRIVE THROUGH LINE. WE CALLED OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THE OFFERED TO LET US SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND RECEIVE A SHUTTLERIDE HOME. MY WIFE GOT US SLIGHTLY BETTER SERVICE WITH A FACEBOOK POST AND THEY OFFERED TO LOOK AT OUR CAR THAT DAY AND COMPED US A RENTAL CAR UNDER WARRANTY. SEVERAL HOURS LATER WE RECEIVED A CALL THAT AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEIR TECH SUPPORT THEY WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE RACK. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HONDA'S REPLY TO MY COMPLAINT BELOW / $250 GIFT CARD WAS AN ABSOLUTE "SLAP IN THE FACE" TO ME AS A SO CALLED "APPRECIATION FOR MY HONDA LOYALTY" AND NOT RECOGNIZING THIS ENGINEERING DEFECT! I'M NOW EVEN MORE DISGUSTED WITH HONDA AND I PLAN TO DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO WARN OTHERS. I'VE RECENTLY READ WHERE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS RECENTLY SETTLED FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM W/HONDA CIVICS, ODYSSEUS & AN ACURA MODEL. HONDA RECOGNIZED / ADMITTED TO THIS SIMILAR DESIGN FLAW ONLY AFTER THEY WERE FORCED TO DO SO. ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL!!! EXERTS FROM MY 8/25 LETTER TO HONDA BELOW; DEAR SIRS, I WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF AN OCCURRENCE I JUST EXPERIENCED WITH MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD I JUST PURCHASED (6/10/2014). MY AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED COOLING ON FRI, 8/22/2014 AFTER LEAVING WORK. AFTER I RETURNED HOME FROM A SWELTERING 45 MILE COMMUTE, I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ON SAT, 8/23. AS MY 2013 CERTIFIED HONDA ACCORD WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY (I PURCHASED 74 DAYS EARLY), I WAS SURE THE PROBLEM WOULD BE COVERED @NO COST TO ME. I HAD EVEN PURCHASED HONDA''S EXTENDED WARRANTY ON 6/10 EVEN THOUGH IVE NEVER EXPERIENCED REPAIR PROBLEMS WITH MY PURCHASES IN THE PAST. I WAS TOLD ROAD DEBRIS HAD DAMAGED THE CONDENSER DUE TO ITS LACK OF PROTECTION, ALL OF THE FREON LEAKED OUT, THE CONDENSER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONDENSER COST WAS $168.00 WHILE WITH INSTALLATION COST WAS $400.99! AFTER ALL OF MY RESEARCH ONLINE IT APPEARS THIS IS A 'WIDE-SPREAD DESIGN PROBLEM AND HONDA IS ACTUALLY MAKING MONEY OFF OF THE DEFECT BY CHARGING OUTRAGEOUS SERVICE FEES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DISGUSTS ME TO THINK THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN! *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP OR A SPEED UNDER 15 MPH, THE CAR OCCASIONALLY HESITATES FOR 2-4 SECONDS. NEARLY HAVE GOTTEN T-BONED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN WELL IN FRONT OF APPROACHING TRAFFIC. HAVE BEEN TO DEALER THREE TIMES. THEY INSTALLED A HARDWARE/SOFTWARE TO THE CVT TO NO AVAIL, BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE, AS IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A WEEK. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SEATS
THE SEAT/HEADREST IS THE MAIN ISSUE. IT PUSHES MY HEAD TO FAR FORWARD AND MAKES IT VERY COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE. THE LONG-TERM SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SEATS/HEADRESTS THAT MANY ARE MODIFYING/REMOVING THE HEADREST TO AVOID PAIN/DISCOMFORT WHICH WILL CREATE AN UNSAFE RESTRAINT SYSTEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BEFORE MY CAR WAS A YEAR OLD, MY BRAKES STARTED SPORADIC SQUEAKING. ON THE FIRST VISIT, I WAS TOLD A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. ON THE SECOND VISIT, I WAS TOLD THE NEXT STEP WAS CUTTING INTO ROTORS. ON THE THIRD VISIT, I WAS TOLD MY ROTORS WERE RESURFACED. THE FOLLOWING DAY, AFTER THE THIRD VISIT, MY BREAKS CONTINUED TO MAKE NOISE. I REACHED OUT TO CORPORATE, WHO ADVISED I HAD TO GO THRU OTHER CHANNELS (BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP) BEFORE I CAN FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM. I AM GETTING FRUSTRATED DUE TO MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND MY ISSUE IS NOT GETTING FIXED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND IN A BRAND NEW CAR AND MY BRAKES ARE SQUEAKING. I AM PAYING TOO MUCH MONEY FOR THIS PROBLEM; IN WHICH THE SERVICE DEPT/ DEALERSHIP IS GIVING ME THE RUNAROUND. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE VEHICLE STEERING SIMPLY 'SHUT-DOWN', OR LOCKED-UP OUT OF NOWHERE. IT APPEARS THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM SIMPLY FAILED. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING BY BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP IN ORDER TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT... AS THOUGH I WERE REBOOTING A CRASHED COMPUTER! THE ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF THREE TIMES THE NEXT DAY, ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT FULL SPEED ON A PUBLIC STREET. WE RESOLVED TO STOP DRIVING IT, BUT BY REFLEX I TOOK IT OUT THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE DAY ONLY TO HAVE THE ISSUE RECUR TWICE, THANKFULLY NONE OF THESE FAILURES OCCURRED WHILE WE WERE EXECUTING A TURN, OTHERWISE WE MAY HAVE CRASHED INTO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE, AS SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS DESCRIBE. I HAVE NOW PUT THE VEHICLE INTO STORAGE UNTIL HONDA ADDRESSES THE ISSUE DEFINITIVELY, AS OTHERS DESCRIBE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSES ACROSS THE BOARD, WITH VIRTUALLY ALL ADMITTING THE ISSUE WAS UNRESOLVED, EVEN AFTER REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DIAGNOSED COMPONENT(S). WHETHER I SIMPLY HAVE A LEMON, OR THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE IN THE MAKING, I DO NOT YET KNOW, BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE RENDERING THE VEHICLE TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND GET OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. I PULLED INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, I PUT THE CAR BACK IN GEAR AND THE POWER STEERING WAS STILL OUT, BUT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY, I STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING. THE STEER WHEEL HAS JERKED TO THE LEFT/RIGHT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE POWER STEERING WHEN COMPLETELY OUT. I'VE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND AM WAITING FOR AN EXPLANATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, OCCASIONALLY THE 2013 ACCORD CVT HAS A LOT OF DIFFICULTY MOVING IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ACTING UP, I HAVE TO PUSH THE THROTTLE OVER HALF WAY DOWN TO BACK THE CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. DEPENDING ON HOW COLD AND HOW LONG THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING, THIS MAY CONTINUE AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. I CAN PUSH THE THROTTLE HALF WAY OR ALMOST ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. SOMETIMES IF I ROCK IT BETWEEN DRIVE AND REVERSE IT WILL OPERATE NORMALLY. THE PROBLEM RESOLVES AFTER A FEW MINUTES, BUT THE CAR IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE TO DRIVE AS IT REQUIRES SO MUCH THROTTLE TO MOVE AT A SLOW SPEED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TRAVELED FROM BATON ROUGE TO DALLAS WITH A COLD AIR CONDITION AND ON THE WAY BACK HOME FROM DALLAS. ONCE I GOT TO OPELOUSAS NO COLD AIR, ONLY HEAT BLOWING FROM THE AC. RICHARDS HONDA DEALERSHIP IN BATON ROUGE CLAIMS THAT A ROCK STRUCK MY CONDENSER, CAUSED THE LEAK AND THE ROAD DEBRIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR WILL BE A YEAR OLD FROM A NEW PURCHASE NEXT MONTH, I TRAVEL IN MY CAR EVERYDAY TO WORK AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR IN NEARLY 30K MILES, UNTIL NOW. DEALER COST $530. HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE A PROTECTOR ON CONDENSERS TO KEEP THEIR REPUTATION REGARDING A RELIABLE AUTOMOBILE, PAY 100% OF THE FEES OR AT LEAST 75% AS HONDA SHOULD RECTIFY THIS ONGOING PROBLEM BY OFFERING A PROTECTOR AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMERS AND IMMEDIATELY REPAIRING THE CONDENSER AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER WITHIN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, MINIMUM. IT'S EXTREMELY HOT IN LOUISIANA AND I NEED MY AIR CONDITION TO WORK PROPERLY WHILE I TRAVEL TO WORK AND PAY MY MONTHLY NOTE ON TIME. I EXPECT THIS AC TO LAST MUCH LONGER THAN 11 MONTHS AND NEARLY 30,000 MILES. *TR

STEERING
2013 HONDA ACCORD (20K MILES) ISSUE: DEFECTIVE RACK-N-PINION I ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY ACCORD IN REVERSE AND REALIZED THAT I WASN'T ABLE TO STEER OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. IT APPEARED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP OR SOMETHING WAS HOLDING ME FROM BACKING UP. I ALSO NOTICED AN ORANGE STEERING WHEEL INDICATOR ON MY DASH. (PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT MY VEHICLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION. I'VE HAVE IT FOR OVER A YEAR AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN). I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR A SECOND TIME. THIS TIME IT TURNED ON JUST AS BEFORE AND THE ORANGE INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED OFF. I FELT IT MAY HAVE JUST BEEN A FLUKE AND I BEGAN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. HOWEVER, NOT EVEN HALF-A-MILE DOWN FROM MY PARENTS? HOUSE MY ACCORD STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AGAIN! THIS TIME IT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WHILE OTHER VEHICLES WERE DRIVING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT MANEUVER MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. I JUST BARELY MANAGED TO ANGLE THE FRONT PART OF MY VEHICLE TO THE EDGE OF A CURB WHILE THE SECOND HALF OF THE CAR WAS STILL IN THE STREET. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC RACK-N-PINION WHICH CAUSED MY STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP. I ASKED HIM IF THIS WAS A RECALL, OR VEHICLE MALFUNCTION AND HE COULDN'T COMPLETELY 100% PROVIDE ME WITH AN EXPLANATION. HE DID INFORM ME THAT IT?S GOING TO BE A $1,200 PART TO BE SERVICED AND THAT I WILL PROBABLY BE WITHOUT MY OWN ACCORD FOR ABOUT A WEEK. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THE HONDA CORP SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, SO I CONTACTED HONDA VIA TWITTER. I FELT COMPLETELY BRUSHED OFF AND THE REP, HE SAID WELL SORRY TO HEAR THAT SIR BUT THEY ARE REPAIRING THE ISSUE SIR. THIS WAS MY SECOND AND LAST HONDA THAT I WOULD PURCHASE. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. HONDA SHOULD DEFINITELY LOOK INTO IT. THE REP TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVEN'T HAD THIS ISSUE PREVIOUSLY-DOUBT IT! *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON JAN 24TH, 2013 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A PROBLEM WITH MY POWER STEERING. THE EPS (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) SYSTEM INDICATOR CAME ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND LOST POWER STEERING DURING THOSE TIMES. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM 3 TIMES. ON FEB 5TH, 2013 THE INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE FIXED. THEN ON AUG 21ST, 2014 THE POWER STEER PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I RETURNED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HONDA TRIED AGAIN TO FIX THE INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING PROBLEM. ON AUG 22ND, I DROVE MY HONDA ACCORD OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO TURN AROUND AND BRING IT BACK BECAUSE THE CARS' EPS (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) SYSTEM INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF AGAIN AND I LOST POWER STEERING DURING THAT TIME. I'M NOW WAITING TO SEE IF THE INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND AND FIXED. SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR THE SMART ENTRY SYSTEM INDICATOR LIGHT HAS TURNED ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT AN ADVERSE EFFECT THAT I KNOW OF. I KNOW AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IS HARD DIAGNOSE AND FIX BUT I'M STARTING HAVE LESS AND LESS CONFIDENCE IN HONDA THE COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURED MY CAR..UPDATED 11/03/14 *BF

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND INTO LOWER GEAR, CAUSE VERY HIGH ENGINE REVS AND SHARP DECELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO RE-ENGAGE TRANSMISSION AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO NEAR STOP, SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, AND THEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I WAS ON AN URBAN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. FROM THEREAFTER, THIS WOULD RE-OCCUR PERIODICALLY AND GRADUALLY INCREASED IN FREQUENCY. *TR
