SEATS
NEAR ACCIDENT AT 1300 MILES. DID YOU KNOW THE RATE OF OWNER FILED NHTSA SAFETY COMPLAINTS RELATED TO SEATS/HEAD RESTRAINTS FOR THE 2012 AND 2013 ACCORD ARE OCCURRING AT A RATE 49 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE COMBINED RATE FOR ALTIMA, CAMRY, ELANTRA AND TAURUS? ALMOST ALL ACCORD COMPLAINTS INCLUDE THE SAME ELEMENTS: AWKWARD POSTURE, PRESSURE ON HEAD AND NECK, PAIN AND DISTRACTION CAUSED BY THE SEAT/HEAD RESTRAINT. HONDA TELLS OWNERS THAT ALL MANUFACTURERS GET THE SAME COMPLAINTS, AND BLAMES NHTSA FMVSS 202: BOTH ARE UNTRUE! AFOREMENTIONED 4-12-2013 COUNT SHOWS THIS IS A VERY SEVERE PROBLEM FOR ACCORDS, BUT NOT FOR ALL OTHER MANUFACTURERS. THE SEATS IN MY 2013 ACCORD ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE PARTLY BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE NO BACKSET BETWEEN THE HEAD RESTRAINT AND MY HEAD; INSTEAD, THEY IMPOSE A PUSH OF A LEAST 13 MM. THIS CAUSES DISTRACTION WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING, AND WITHIN TWO HOURS GENERATES SEVERE PAIN WHICH IMPAIRS MY DRIVING. DURING THE FMVSS 202 PROCESS, UMTRI SUBMITTED A RESEARCH FINDING THAT SAID A 50 MM BACKSET WOULD RESULT IN HEAD RESTRAINT INTERFERENCE FOR 13% OF THE DRIVING PUBLIC. A MAJORITY OF THE MANUFACTURERS, AMONG THEM GM, MAGNA, JOHNSON CONTROLS, AIAM, THE ALLIANCE, NISSAN, PORSCHE, DAIMLERCHRYSLER, AND FORD, STATED THAT A BACKSET OF 50 MM MAY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INTRUSIONS INTO THE SPACE WHERE THESE OCCUPANTS TYPICALLY PLACE THEIR HEADS, FORCING THEIR HEADS INTO AN UNNATURAL FORWARD-TILTING POSITION. HONDA IGNORED THESE FINDINGS,IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR BAD SEAT DESIGN A 1997 CDC REPORT THAT FOUND STRONG EVIDENCE OF A CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AWKWARD NECK AND SHOULDER POSTURE/ PROLONGED STATIC LOADS AND MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS (MSD), AND ADDITIONAL RESEARCH REVEALS THE IMPACTS OF MSD, INCLUDING PAIN AND FATIGUE. THE ACCORD IS A DANGER TO ME, MY PASSENGERS, BYSTANDERS AND OTHER DRIVERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
AS A RESULT OF MY CAR HAVING TO BRAKE SO HARD AND SUDDEN TO STOP A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS EXPLODED ALSO BRAKING THE SEAT BELTS WITHOUT THERE BEING AN ACTUAL IMPACT. THE POLICE ARRIVED, BOTH THE SHERIFF AN A LOCAL OFFICER. THEY TESTIFIED AS THERE BEING NO IMPACT AND THAT IT WAS A FACTORY MISTAKE AND SAID AN ACCIDENT REPORT WAS USELESS ALSO TO CALL HONDA AND STATE OUR PROBLEM. WE DID SO AND HONDA REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES. WHEN THE INSURANCE GOT INVOLVED THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A ACCIDENT AND REFUSED TO PAY. I UNDERSTAND IS DIFFICULT FOR HONDA TO ACCEPT AN ERROR IN ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES; BUT IT ALSO HAS TO BE UNDERSTOOD THAT I SHOULDN'T PAY FOR AN ERROR THAT I DIDN'T COMMIT. I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN HELP. *TR

SEATS, SEAT BELTS
DURING A SNOW STORM IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, WHILE I WAS IN MY HOUSE, MY CAR WINDOWS AUTOMATICALLY ROLLED DOWN, COVERING THE SEATS, SEAT BELTS AND CAR SEATS WITH SNOW. DUE TO A FEATURE OF THE CAR DOCUMENTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL ON PAGES 128-129, IF THE LOCK BUTTON IS COMPRESSED TWICE WITHIN 10 SECONDS, AND HELD DOWN (E.G., IN A BRIEFCASE OR PURSE WHEN SOMETHING HEAVY LANDS ON IT), THE WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN. THIS WORKS WELL ENOUGH TO TRANSMIT FROM INSIDE A HOUSE TO A DRIVEWAY. I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS ALL LOCKED UP, BUT IT WAS NOT. GOOGLING "HONDA WINDOWS ROLL DOWN" LED ME TO A LITANY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING, IN SNOW STORMS, RAIN STORMS, ETC. APPARENTLY THE FEATURE IS FOR HOT CLIMATES (TEXAS, CALIFORNIA--OR OHIO IN THE SUMMER), BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF. GIVEN HOW DAMAGING THIS CAN BE TO A CAR, IT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE A FEATURE ONE COULD TURN OFF. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD ME SHE HAD A CALL FROM A WOMAN THE WEEK BEFORE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE EASIER TO KEEP A CAR INTERIOR PROTECTED FROM THE ELEMENTS. HONDA INDICATED THEY HAVE NO PLANS TO ADDRESS THIS IN THE FUTURE. *TR

IN GENERAL I LIKE MY ACCORD 2013; HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN NOTICING HESITATION AND/OR ABRUPT DOWNSHIFT OF GEAR WHEN I DRIVE BELOW 25 MILES. I WAS SEARCHING FOR THIS ISSUE, FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. SHAME ON HONDA FOR NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE. I JUST RECOMMENDED TWO OF MY RELATIVES TO BUY TOYOTA, THEY ARE QUICK AT RECALL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD, THE HONDA HAS INTERMITTENT HESITATIONS AFTER STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, PARKING AND SO FORTH. FOR INSTANCE, FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE LAST FIVE DAYS, I STOPPED, WENT INTO A STORE, RETURNED, CRANKED HONDA ACCORD, BACKED OUT, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT "GO." IT SIMPLY "STALLED" , FEBRUARY 03, 2014. THIS WAS MENTIONED IN 2012 TO SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], AT HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER; IN MOBILE, AL, HE HAD ONE OF HIS TECHNICIANS TO TEST DRIVE MY HONDA. TECHNICIAN RETURNED AND CLAIMED, AFTER TESTING, AND TEST DRIVE, THAT HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PAPERWORK OTHER THAN A VERBAL ASSURANCE THAT I WAS PROBABLY JUST GETTING ADJUSTED TO THE "NEW CAR." AFTER THAT, EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO, I WOULD HAVE A "WHOLE WEEK OF INTERMITTENT" HESITATIONS AND STALLINGS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT - I HAVE TO REALLY PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE CAR TO FINELY DECIDE TO "GO". THIS PROBLEM WAS VERBALLY REPORTED AGAIN TO [XXX], SERVICE MANAGER, AND TECHNICIANS, JANUARY 10, 2013 - MILES 5,384. THE REPORT WAS, "GIVE IT SOME TIME, THE CAR IS STILL NEW." - NOW, AT 24,200 MILES, THIS 2013 HONDA ACCORD STILL SCARES ME. YESTERDAY (2/3/2014), AT A FOUR-WAY STOP, MY HONDA STALLED, THE ENGINE DID NOT "TURN OFF", BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT "GO." FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WIFE HAD PLACED HER FOB IN HER PURSE & PLACED THE PURSE IN THE TRUNK. WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR (WITH MY FOB IN MY POCKET), THE TRUNK OPENED. I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT, CLOSED THE TRUNK & STARTED DRIVING. AGAIN THE TRUNK OPENED, I PULLED OVER, CLOSED THE TRUNK & BEGAN DRIVING. THE TRUNK AGAIN OPENED, I PULLED OVER & MY WIFE REALIZED THAT HER PURSE WAS IN THE TRUNK WITH THE FOB IN IT & THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM. SHE REMOVED HER PURSE, WE STARTED DRIVING & THE TRUNK STAYED CLOSED. WE DID NOT RECOGNIZE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE AT THE TIME BUT HAVE SINCE REALIZED THAT IF AN ITEM HAD FLOWN FROM THE TRUNK INTO THE PATH OF A FOLLOWING CAR, IT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING, POWER TRAIN
AS MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, I LOST ALMOST ALL POWER TO MY VEHICLE, AND IT BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY TIRE WARNING LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED HAD A CAR BEEN FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND. ONCE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, A BURNING ODOR COULD BE SMELLED BY ALL 4 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TIRES. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS WHICH ARE PENDING. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE NEW "CVT" TRANSMISSION, AND I SUSPECT THIS MAY BE PART OF THE PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN A BRAND NEW CAR, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SURE. *TR

AIR BAGS
AFTER HEARING A NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL (SUCH AS A CLICKING NOISE OR SQUEAKING), TURNING IT LEFT AND/OR RIGHT, I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 08/20/2013. THE DEALERSHIP REMOVED THE STEERING WHEEL AND DETERMINED THAT THE CABLE REEL FOR THE AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT RETURN THE VEHICLE TO ME FOR "SAFETY" UNTIL THE PART WAS TO BE REPLACED (AND THE STEERING CONSOLE HAD BEEN DISASSEMBLED). THE DEALER REPLACED THE CABLE REEL ON THE CAR. 2 MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIR, I STARTED HEARING THE SAME NOISE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT/RIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER ON 12/26/2013 WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE DEALER INSPECTION DETERMINED THAT THE CABLE REEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN (5,484 MILES). THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT DISASSEMBLE THE STEERING CONSOLE, THEY WOULD ORDER THE REPLACEMENT PART AND I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN FOR THE REPLACEMENT WHEN THE PART ARRIVES (THIS IS THE SECOND REPAIR IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS). I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHY THIS WAS A RECURRING ISSUE? THEY INDICATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED THEM WITH THE PART AND THEY ARE REPLACING IT ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE ISSUE HAPPENS FOR A THIRD TIME, THEY WILL REPORT THIS TO AMERICAN HONDA FOR POSSIBLE ENGINEERING ISSUE AND RECALL. *TR

2013 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO POTENTIAL TRANSMISSION DEFECT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS DEFECT OR MALFUNCTION, WHICH CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD. SPECIFICALLY, IN SOME LOW SPEEDS SITUATIONS, THE VEHICLE LACKED IMMEDIATE RESPONSIVENESS NEEDED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF A TIGHT AND POTENTIALLY UNSAFE SITUATION. THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT. THEREFORE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY FIX AND ONLY DESCRIBED IT AS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION. *JB

ENGINE
I BOUGHT THIS HONDA ACCORD LX 2013 IN AUG 2012. ABOUT A FEW MONTHS LATER, I NOTICE THE CAR ENGINE OIL LEVEL KEEP DECREASING. THEN I SEE THERE ARE OIL LEAK MARKS AT THE OVERHEAD COVER WHERE IT IS TIGHTENED TO THE ENGINE BLOCK. IN AUGUST 2013, I BROUGHT MY CAR TO NEARBY HONDA DEALER. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND SAID THEY REPLACED THE GASKET. BUT AFTER ONE MONTH, I STILL SEE OIL LEAKING OUT AT THE SAME SPOT. TODAY, DEC 16, 2013, I BRING MY ACCORD BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE UNTIL TOMORROW (DEC 17) WHILE THEY ARE ORDERING ANOTHER NEW GASKET. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED A PERSISTENT OIL LEAK HAS HAPPENED WITH A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD 2013 !!! I RESEARCH ON LINE AND SEE THIS ISSUE ALSO HAPPENS WITH SOME OTHER 2013 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS. *TR
