SERVICE BRAKES
PREMATURE WEAR ON THE REAR BRAKES OF 2009 HONDA ACCORD. AT 20,000 MILES I STARTED TO GET A SMALL "SQUEAK" IN THE REAR OF THE CAR NON THE LEFT SIDE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. ONLY AT LOW SPEEDS. AS THE MONTHS PASSED IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE, BUT I NEVER SUSPECTED WORN BRAKES. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER ON NOV 3, 2012 - I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY BAD DRIVING AND THE TRAFFIC IN THE DC AREA THAT HAD CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I PAID $586.22 FOR A BRAKE AND ROTOR REPLACEMENT. IN 44 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD WHAT WORN BRAKES SOUNDED LIKE. VA HAS ANNUAL INSPECTIONS, EACH YEAR THEY CHECK THE BRAKES. I HAD THE INSPECTION DONE IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 AFTER THE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN BRAKES FAIL AT SUCH AN EARLY RATE. \MANY DRIVERS HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT BEFORE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
VEHICLE HAS BEEN CONSUMING OIL SINCE PURCHASED WITH 9,500 MILES. OIL CONSUMPTION HAS CONTRIBUTED TO FOULED SPARK PLUGS. FOULED SPARK PLUGS TRIGGERED "CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE" CODE AND EXTREMELY POOR PERFORMANCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE CAR EXPERIENCED DIFFERENT CYLINDER MISFIRE ISSUES. HONDA DEALER PERFORMED ENGINE COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATES ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE THAT THE ENGINE WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. IF THE CONSUMER IS NOT AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE IS USING OIL, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR THE ENGINE TO SEIZE CAUSING COSTLY REPAIRS OR TO LOSE POWER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DEALER IS NOW PERFORMING HONDA OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ACCORDING TO HONDA, CONSUMING 1 QUART OF OIL IN 1,000 MILES IS NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE. THIS BURNED OIL IS BEING RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT AS EVIDENCED BY THE BLACK CARBON ON THE TAIL PIPES. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A LEADING CAR MANUFACTURER WOULD DEEM OIL CONSUMPTION IN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AS NORMAL OR ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE OUT OF 12 THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED THAT CONSUMED OIL. EVEN VEHICLES WITH OVER 200,000 MILES DID NOT CONSUME OIL. I PURCHASED A HONDA SO THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RELIABILITY OR BREAK DOWNS FOR MANY YEARS. NOW I HAVE TO WORRY WITH CHECKING THE OIL EVERY WEEK AS TO NOT GET LOW OR RUN OUT. SAME VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD PREMATURE REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 60,000 MILES. COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH AMERICAN HONDA. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST HONDA OVER THE PREMATURE REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES.

ENGINE
MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD HAS A GRINDING NOISE THAT OCCURS WHEN THE IGNITION IS ACTIVATED FROM A COLD START. THE NOISE LASTS FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO SECONDS AND SOUNDS LIKE THE TIMING BELT SYSTEM IS RATCHETING INTO PLACE. THIS ONLY OCCURS ON A COLD START, MEANING THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN RUNNING FOR 4 OR MORE HOURS. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. AN INTERNET SEARCH LOCATED HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 09-010 DATED 08/17/10 AND THEN UPDATED ON 10/21/11. THE SAFETY BULLETIN DESCRIBES THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATOR AS BEING, "DEFECTIVE". ADDITIONAL INTERNET SEARCH IDENTIFIED THAT THE GRINDING NOISE WAS COMMON WITH THE 2009 ACCORD. I SPOKE WITH MY DEALER, HUGH WHITE HONDA, COLUMBUS, OHIO. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED WITH MY DIAGNOSIS AND NOTED THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THE VTC ACTUATOR. FURTHER, THE DEALER NOTED THAT HONDA ISSUED A 2011 SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE 2009 ACCORD TO ADDRESS COMPLAINTS OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. A SEPTEMBER 2011 NOTICE FROM HONDA IS TITLED "PRODUCT UPDATE: SOFTWARE UPDATE TO IMPROVE FUEL-INJECTOR AND VTC TIMING" THE NOTICE STATES THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR TIMING AND VTC TIMING AT COLD START MAY CREATE DEPOSITS ON THE OIL CONTROL RINGS THAT COULD CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION." THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT MY CAR HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE DEALER ARGUES THAT THE UPDATE IS SEPARATE FROM THE CURRENT GRINDING NOISE AND THAT THE VTC ACTUATOR HAS FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY MY GRINDING NOISE APPEARS TO HAVE STARTED AFTER THE 2011 SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED. BASED ON THE FOREGOING, I AM FORWARDING THIS COMPLAINT. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE TO INDICATE THE VTC ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE AS BEING NOT SUITED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THE V6 ENGINE THAT HAS VCM (VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT). I HAVE READ SEVERAL DIFFERENT REASONS FOR THE PROBLEM AT HAND BUT, THE CAR IS CONSUMING FAR MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD. FROM THE CONSUMING OF THE OIL IT IS ALSO CAUSING SPARK PLUGS TO FOUL. THERE ARE TONS OF FORUMS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT THAT WAS FILED SOMETIME IN 2012. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ FROM RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, HONDA EITHER DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLS SOME COMPUTER UPGRADE THAT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, TELLS PEOPLE THEIR ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT, IS TOLD THEY NEED TO RUN A DIFFERENT TYPE OF OIL, OR LIKE MYSELF WAS TOLD THAT IT IS COMPLETELY NORMAL FOR THESE ENGINES TO CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL PER 1000 MILES DRIVEN. ITS SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVES OR VALVE SEALS SEALING OFF COMPLETELY. IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM YET HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
IN DEC/12 I NOTICED A CLICKING NOISE IN MY STEERING WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT , I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAID BRING IT TO THE DEALER AND THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE . SINCE I WAS NOT HOME I DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL I RETURNED SINCE IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE ( MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE) . I WENT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN AND A COUPLE OF BOLTS AT A COSTS OF $800 . NOW WHILE I AM NOT A MECHANIC IF YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN IT WOULD DEFINITELY SOUND LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME . THERE IS EVEN A TSB ON IT FROM HONDA .AND WHILE I AM OUT OF WARRANTT HONDA ( AFTER COMPLAINING DID AGREE TO COVER THE COSTS OF PARTS APPROX 50% BUT THE BIGGER ISSUE IS THAT THEY ISSUED THIS TSB IN 09 AND THERE MUST BE A FLAW IN THE MECHANISM . *TR

SEAT BELTS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT HAD A DESIGN FLAW. THE BUCKLE WAS TOO SHORT TO CONNECT TO THE LATCH HOUSING AND THE PASSENGER WAS UNABLE TO ENGAGE THE SEAT BELT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
AT APPROX. 35,000 MILES, MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WEAR INDICATOR FOR LEFT REAR DISC BRAKE IS RUBBING THE BRAKE DISC INDICATING THAT THE BRAKE PAD HAS REACH THE POINT WHERE THE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACE. THIS IS VERY PERPLEXING AS TO WHY THE REAR BRAKE NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT ON THE 2008-2009 HONDA ACCORDS AND 2009 ACURA TSX, AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT HONDA HAS AGREED TO PAY OUT $150 TO OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD TO FIX THIS PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE BRAKING AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. *TR

ENGINE
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 55 MPG NOTICED VIBRATION COMING FROM ENGINE. FELT LIKE ENGINE MOUNTS HAD FAILED. WHEN I PULLED INTO OUR HOME DRIVEWAY IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING A DIESEL POWERED CAR. I NOTICED OIL LIGHT GLOWING. CHECKED OIL LEVEL, NOTHING SHOWED ON DIP STICK. UNDER 3000 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHECK. TOOK TO DEALER AND COMPLAINED. CHECKED FOR OIL LEAKS-NONE. FLASHED ENGINE MANAGEMENT WITH UPGRADE SAID SERVICE BULLETIN FROM HONDA SHOULD FIX ISSUE. KEPT CHECKING OIL LEVELS AT EACH GAS FILL UP. NOTICED A QUART OF OIL USED AROUND EVERY THOUSAND MILES OF MIXED DRIVING. BY 50,000 THAT HAD DROPPED TO USING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 600 MILES AND BY 56,000 MILES A QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES. ENGINE RAN ROUGH ALL THE TIME AND BLEW SMOKE. NO VISIBLE ENGINE LEAKS FROM DYE TEST. ENGINE OIL WOULD TURN BLACK WITHIN 1000 MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AT DEALER. DEALER INSTIGATED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST EVERY 1000 MILES. USED 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL. AT 58,000 MILES DEALER RECEIVED PERMISSION TO REPLACE MOTOR WITH NEW SHORT BLOCK FROM HONDA AND REMANUFACTURE HEADS WITH ALL NEW PARTS. THIS WAS AFTER DEALER TORE DOWN THE MOTOR AND CONFIRMED IT WAS SHOT. SCORED BORE AND DESTROYED RINGS, AND BLACK OIL SLUDGE IN MOTOR. ENGINE OIL HAD BEEN REPLACED AT DEALER WITHIN HONDA RECOMMENDED INTERVALS. NEVER HEARD OF A HONDA MOTOR FAILING AT 58,000 MILES IN MY LIFE. NEW MOTOR RUNS GREAT AND CAR IS LIKE NEW AGAIN. I'M GLAD THE ENGINE FAILED WITHIN THE 60,000 DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE IF HONDA DID NOT COME THROUGH WITH A NEW ENGINE. READING ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS AN ALL TO COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2008, 2009 4CYL ENGINES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF THESE ENGINES, AS IN THE 2011 MODEL YEAR HONDA UPGRADED ENGINE PARTS AND THE NEW MOTORS DO NOT DISPLAY THE SAME PROBLEMS AS I EXPERIENCED WITH MY ENGINE. *TR

SEATS
I HAVE HAD UPPER BACK AND NECK PAIN FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS NOW AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY. I'VE RECENTLY GONE TO A BACK PAIN SPECIALIST AND FOUND THAT MY PROBLEM HAS BEEN CAUSED BY MY POSTURE, MAINLY FROM THE NEWER CARS I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. I'VE NOW BOUGHT AND SOLD SEVERAL CARS IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THINKING "I JUST NEED A LARGER MORE COMFORTABLE CAR" HOWEVER THAT I NOT THE CASE. THE KNOWN FACT THAT AUTOMOBILE SEATS ARE "VERY UNCOMFORTABLE" MADE SO BY THE FORWARD DESIGN OF THE HEADREST, CAUSING YOUR HEAD TO BENT FORWARD WHILE DRIVING. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, I'VE TURNED MY HEADREST AROUND BACKWARDS "NOT TOO SAFE" TO RELIEVE MY NECK PAIN AND THIS HAS WORKED, BUT IT IS VERY UNSAFE.....BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE ANOTHER EXAMPLE, I AM RENTING A CAR BECAUSE MY HONDA IS AT THE BODY SHOP. THE RENTAL CAR COMPANY GAVE ME A 2012 CHEVY MALIBU "IT IS EVEN WORSE" I STARTED DRIVING THIS CAR AT 5AM THIS MORNING AND WITHIN 10 MILES, I WAS IN SEVERE PAIN. THE PROBLEM NOW IS I CANNOT TURN THIS HEADREST AROUND BACKWARDS AS IT APPEARS YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE HEADREST TO TURN IT AROUND. TO RESOLVE THIS, I'LL BE TURNING THIS CAR BACK IN TODAY IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET A DIFFERENT CAR THAT MIGHT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT SEVERE NECK AND BACK PAIN. PLEASE - CHANGE THE HEADREST REQUIREMENT "NOW" TO ALLOW A SAFE BUT MORE COMFORTABLE RIDE WHILE DRIVING. I'VE NOW DRIVEN A 2006 CIVIC, 2009 ACCORD AND A 2012 MALIBU IN THE PAST 3 YEARS AND ALL THREE VEHICLES ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. AT LEAST THE HONDA'S YOU CAN REMOVE THE HEADREST AND TURN THEM AROUND. PLEASE HELP! *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING MY WHEEL I HEAR A LOUD CLICKING NOISE, TOOK IT TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS MY STEERING COLUMN. THEY REFUSED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING TUBE BUT NO OTHER RECALLS. I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON OTHER WEBSITES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. HONDA CLAIMS THEY HAVE RELIABLE VEHICLES. IF YOU MAKE THIS CLAIM MAYBE YOU SHOULD REPAIR A VEHICLE THAT HAS ONLY 40K MILES ON IT AND HAS BAD STEERING COLUMN. POOR COMPANY. THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA VEHICLE AND THE VERY LAST ONE THAT I WILL EVER BUY. *TR
