ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
I KEEP HEARING WHINING SOUNDS UNDER HOOD. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS POWER STEERING BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE LOW. HOWEVER, AFTER TOPPING IT OFF, IT CONTINUES AND SOMETIMES GET EVEN LOUDER. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED CRACKING SOUND FROM WHEEL WHEN DRIVING. IT'S REALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN ROADS/STREETS ARE UNEVEN. IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEELS ARE GOING TO ROLL OFF AT ANY TIME. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY DRIVER SIDE MAP LIGHT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, DRIVER SIDE MAP LIGHT WORKS ON RARE OCCASIONS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE VISOR SEEMS TO HAVE A SHORT. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING. I OWNED A 98 HONDA ACCORD AND NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES FOR 13 YEARS. I NOTICED THERE HAS BEEN RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2011 HONDA ACCORD FOR SUSPENSION ISSUES. WHY IS THIS CAR NOT INCLUDED?

AIR BAGS, WHEELS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
"TAKATA RECALL" I'VE TAKEN MY HONDA ACCORD TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ARE STILL THE SAME ONES FROM WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. THERE EXCUSE IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE NEW REPLACEMENTS IN YET! SAME WORDS FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE LAST 3YRS ALONG WITH THE INSIDE LIGHTING HASN'T WORKED SINCE 2011.

STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOESN'T SNAP BACK INTO PLACE AFTER USE. I USE IT TO HELP PROTECT MY EYES FROM THE SUN WHILE DRIVING, OR TO HOLD UP THE SUN SCREEN WHEN PARKED. INSTEAD OF SNAPPING INTO PLACE AFTER USE, IT DANGLES DOWN ABOUT 2" IN FRONT OF MY FACE. I'M OVER 6' TALL AND THE DANGLING VISOR CAN BLOCK BY VIEW. HONDA HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE CIVIC MODEL A FEW YEARS BEFORE AND THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T FIXED THE POOR DESIGN.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE DATED JULY 2016 INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL BUT SAYING THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I NEVER RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE THAT THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. RECENTLY I SCHEDULED THE REPAIR WITH HOLLER HONDA OF ORLANDO FL. I ASSUMED I WOULD BE GIVEN A CAR TO DRIVE WHILE THE REPAIR WAS BEING DONE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NOT BE FURNISHED A CAR WHICH MEANT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO RENT A CAR OR PAY TAXI FARE. SINCE THIS AIR BAG DEFECT IS NOT OF MY DOING I FEEL THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING OUT OF MY POCKET. AM I RIGHT OR WRONG? I FEEL THE RECALL SHOULD BE TOTALLY COST FREE.

ENGINE
VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS RECALLED ON EARLIER MODELS. I'VE SEEN LOTS OF FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE WITH 2010'S AND 2011'S STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM. WE LEARNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM BY RESEARCHING WHAT THE RATTLING SOUND COULD BE WHEN WE START THE CAR FROM THESE FORUMS. THE OIL LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND THE CAR WAS LOSING OIL. IT STARTED RATTLING EVEN WHILE DRIVING IT OR IDLING AT A LIGHT. THE AUTO MECHANIC VERIFIED IT AND WE HAD TO PAY $900 TO HAVE IT FIXED. IF THIS PROBLEM WASN'T RESOLVED AS HONDA SAYS IT WAS THEN WE SHOULDN'T BE OUT THE COST TO FIX IT.
