STEERING
WHILE ENDEAVORING TO MAKE A SLOW SPEED MANEUVER, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT RESPONSIVE BY POWER ASSISTANCE. IT EVENTUALLY CAME BACK TO NORMAL. CONCERNED I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC WHO SUGGESTED REPLACING THE POWER STEERING PUMP. REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP WITH A HONDA REMANUFACTURED AND FLUSHED SYSTEM WITH GENUINE HONDA POWER STEERING FLUID. NEVER WAS ANYTHING FOUND IN THE FLUID THAT WOULD CONTAMINATE THE FLUID OR CAUSE SYSTEM BLOCKAGE. PROBLEM SEEMED CORRECTED FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IT RESUMED AGAIN. WENT BACK TO MY HONDA DEALER. AT THE HONDA DEALER IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY RACK AND PINION SETUP. THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR! I HAVE HAD 15 HONDAS AND NEVER HAD TO HAVE THIS DONE. THE PROBLEM IS PROGRESSIVELY BECOMING MORE PRONOUNCED. IT COMES AT VARIED TIMES DURING THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE
CAR STARTED HAVING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AROUND 100,000 MILES. RECEIVED FIRST NOTICE TODAY FROM AMERICAN HONDA ABOUT STICKING PISTON RINGS CAUSING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. WARRANTY LIMITATIONS ARE 125,000 MILES OR 8 YEARS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. MY CAR IS AT 127,000 MILES. AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THIS CAR IS INELEGIBLE FOR WARRANTY REPAIR BECAUSE IT EXCEEDS THEIR MILEAGE CUTOFF.

SERVICE BRAKES
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY HONDA ACCORD, AND USE MY CAR PRIMARILY FOR PLEASURE DRIVING ON WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS. RECENTLY, I TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND SAFETY CHECK, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR DISC BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY WORN AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT, WHEREAS THE FRONT DISC BRAKE LININGS WERE FINE. THIS INFORMATION CAME AS A SURPRISE BECAUSE REAR ARE GENERALLY LAST MORE THAN 70,000- 1000,000 MILES, AND CERTAINLY LONGER THE THAN THE FRONT PADS. THE SERVICE STATION ATTENDANT TOLD ME THAT PREMATURE WEAR ON REAR BRAKE PADS IS A WELL- APPRECIATED DEFECT FOR THE 2009 ACCORD, AND HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS EVEN SETTLED A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN 2010 RELATING SPECIFICALLY TO THIS MATTER. FOR REFERENCE, A LINK TO A NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE IS: HTTP://WHEELS.BLOGS.NYTIMES.COM/2010/04/06/HONDA-SETTLES-CLASS-ACTION-SUIT-OVER-BRAKES/?_R=0 SOUND BRAKES ARE NECESSARY FOR VEHICLE SAFETY. I REQUEST THAT THE NTSB DEMAND HONDA ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THE BRAKE DEFECT FOR ACCORD OWNERS WHO WERE UNABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CLASS SETTLEMENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND CONSIDERATION OF THIS REQUEST. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
FROM THE BEGINNING UPON TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE, THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS WERE NOT RELEASING PROPERLY. WE NOTICED A BURNING SMELL ONCE AFTER DRIVING, BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. WE ALSO NOTICED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ALWAYS RELEASING, AS PER THE WARNING LIGHT. AT A ROUTINE OIL SERVICE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS NOT FULL DISENGAGING. THE ENTIRE REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE CLEANED AND ADJUSTED, THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. BOTH REAR CALIPERS HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN THE PAST, OUR VEHICLES HAVE GONE 90,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACING ONLY THE PADS, AND THEN ONLY THE FRONT. TO REPLACE AN ENTIRE REAR BAKE ASSEMBLY INDICATES SOME SORT OF DEFECT OR ENGINEERING PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY DRIVER SIDE (LEFT) COURTESY LIGHT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON WHEN THE DOOR(S) OPEN NOR WHEN THE REMOTE IS USED TO UNLOCK THE CAR. YES THE SWITCH IS SET TO DOOR MODE. YES THE LIGHT WORKS WHEN MANUALLY PUSHED. YES ALL OTHER LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE DOOR(S) OPEN. THE BULB IS FINE, THE FUSE IS FINE, AND THE DOOR-LIGHT SWITCH IS FINE. I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT PARTICULARLY REGARDING DRIVING, BUT FOR MY PHYSICAL SAFETY. I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED SO IF I NEED TO USE THIS LIGHT IN PARTICULAR, I CAN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
REAR TIRES OVERHEATED TO THE POINT THAT IT WOULD BURN A HAND THAT TOUCHED IT ON 6-11-2012 (MILEAGE 46,384). SMELLED OF BURNING RUBBER. HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT REAR BRAKE CALIPER, BRAKE PAD, AND ROTOR. ON 4-18-2013 (MILEAGE 65,922) THE SAME PROBLEM ON RIGHT REAR. THIS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR. ON 6-13-2014 (MILEAGE 93,310) THE SAME OVERHEATING OCCURRED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR BRAKE PADS. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS ON 3-16-2015 (MILEAGE 112,411). WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS EXAMINED IN TWO DAYS SO DO NOT YET KNOW THE DIAGNOSIS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS FAILURE COULD OCCUR WHILE WE ARE DRIVING AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, BLOWN TIRE, OR CRASH. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ENGINE SURGED AND VEHICLE SPED UP, ON IT'S OWN, WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH BOULDERS AND RAILROAD TIES CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT, REAR, UNDERCARRIAGE, AND RUPTURED THE FUEL TANK. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST, PEOPLE WERE YELLING FOR THE OCCUPANTS TO "GET OUT" OF THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE FUEL WAS GUSHING ALL OVER THE GROUND. DRIVER IS 84 AND PASSENGER IS 82. BOTH SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THEIR SPINES AND DRIVER IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL AS OF 3/8/2015. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR
