• 12/31/2018· ENGINE

  UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES SINCE MARCH 2018. NO COLORATION WITH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, WEATHER CONDITIONS OR SPEED. SYMPTOM: DRIVING & BRAKING HARD TO SLOW DOWN, PLACE INTO NEUTRAL AND ENGINE REVS UP TO 5K RPM. RESTART CAR AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND ENGINE RUNS FINE, IF SOONER ENGINE REVS BACK TO ABOUT 5K RPM. TAKEN TO SHOP - NO PROBLEM FOUND. HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS COMING TO A STOP. WAS TRAVELING IN A STRAIT PATH 4 TIMES, TWICE WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT. NOTE: I TRAVEL BACK ROADS MOSTLY.

• 12/31/2011· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULICCrash

  REAR BRAKES SQUEAKS AND WORN OUT PREMATURELY AT 17,900 MILES. *KB

• 12/30/2018· ENGINE

  ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION IS MORE AND CAUSING BURNING OF ENGINE OIL VERY FREQUENTLY. THIS IS CAUSING RATTLING NOISE WHEN ACCELARATING AND WOULD CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO ENGINE AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS IF DRIVING ON HIGHWAY.

• 12/30/2013· SERVICE BRAKES

  LOUD WHINING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR WHEELS WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, CAUSED US TO HAVE THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER CHECK THE BRAKES. THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE VERY BADLY WORN THROUGH. THE CAR IS DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE TIME, MEANING THE BRAKES WOULD NOT HAVE EXCESSIVE USE. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THE TYPE OF DRIVING WE DO AND HOW WE DRIVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT HONDA HAS HAD TWO CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HERE IS THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. THE SETTLEMENT DOES NOT BENEFIT US SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2009. WE HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT MANY DRIVERS MUST REPEATEDLY REPLACE THESE BRAKE PADS. SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. *TR

• 12/30/2009· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. DIFFICULTY STOPPING THE CAR. IT WAS NECESSARY TO PLACE IN NEUTRAL AND TURN ENGINE OFF. HONDA DEALERSHIP CHECKED VEHICLE AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM. FEARFUL OF THIS OCCURRING AGAIN. *TR

• 12/29/2022· STEERING

  A clicking noise comes from the steering column when turning the steering wheel when driving. The car has 101,500 miles. It has been making this noise for approximately 4 years. From previous searches I thought this was an immaterial issue (that is, harmless rubbing of plastic parts). However in now looking into this further I see there have numerous complaints, pointing to a serious point of failure issue with the steering column and it bearing components. A recall should be issued so Honda can correct this defect.

• 12/29/2019· AIR BAGS

  THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS IN AUGUST AND I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. JUST WANTED TO AN UPDATED TO SEE WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD BE SERVICED.

• 12/29/2012· SERVICE BRAKES

  SUDDEN SCREECHING OF REAR BRAKES AND SHORT AFTER GRINDING NOISE WHEN BREAKING. TOOK CAR TO GET BRAKES CHECKED AND HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS DUE TO CALIPERS STICKING AND MAKING INTERIOR PADS WEAR OUT COMPLETELY WHILE EXTERIOR PADS WHERE STILL GOOD. ROTORS WORN TO OR BELOW MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS. WILL HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH REAR ROTORS AND CALIPERS. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ROTORS OR CALIPERS ON ANY CAR, NOT EVEN WITH 86K MILES ON THEM AND ON THIS 2009 HONDA ACCORD EX-L I HAVE TO REPLACE THEM AT 46,413 MILES? THIS IS NOT GOOD! HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR ALL EXPENSES AND PARTS. LOWEST QUOTE TO REPLACE WITH OEM IS APPROXIMATELY $750.00 WHAT WOULD THE COST BE IF I WOULD OF NOT HEAR THE NOISE AND CHECK THE BRAKES? *TR

• 12/29/2010· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  I'VE HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHICH CAN BE CONSIDERED CLOSE CALLS WITH HONDA ACCORDS IN RECENT MONTHS. BESIDES BEING BLINDED BY THE HIGH BEAM DRLS (BOTH FROM THE FRONT AND THE REAR), I HAVE HAD TROUBLE SEEING USAGE OF THE HONDA'S TURN SIGNALS. THIS IS DUE TO THE HIGH LIGHT DENSITY OF THE DRL NEXT TO THE SMALL TURN SIGNALS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT THESE DRL BE ELIMINATED. THANK YOU. *TR

• 12/29/2010· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,EQUIPMENT

  UNDER NORMAL USE, REAR BRAKE PADS FAIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. MY ORIGINAL PADS WERE COMPLETELY GONE AT 15,000 MILES. NOW THE SECOND SET OF PADS IS WORN OUT AT 30,000 MILES. FRONT PADS SEEM TO BE BARELY WORN, AND ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. *TR

• 12/28/2010· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  I WANT TO ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST OF PEOPLE WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKES ON THEIR 2009 ACCORDS. MY BRAKES STARTED SQUEAKING LIKE MAD AT ABOUT 17000 MILES. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME THAT HONDA WOULD NOT ISSUE A RECALL, KNOWING THAT THEIR REAR BRAKE PADS ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FACT BY MAKING A REPLACEMENT PAD DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL PAD. TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IN SIMPLY UNTHINKABLE ON HONDA'S PART. *TR

• 12/24/2009· SERVICE BRAKES, AIR

  I BOUGHT MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD LX ON DECEMBER 30, 2008. LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER THAT, MY BRAKES STARTED MAKING A HORRIFIC SQUEAKING SOUND EVERY TIME I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THEM. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I TAP THEM LIGHTLY OR I PUSH DOWN HARD; THE BRAKES STILL MAKE TERRIBLE NOISES. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ONCE FOR THE BRAKE SOUNDS. ALL THREE TIMES, I ASKED THE ASSOCIATES TO CHECK THE BRAKES. EACH TIME, THEY SAID THE BRAKES WERE ADJUSTED (I.E. SANDED) AND THAT THE NOISE SHOULD CEASE. ON THE MY TRIP, I TOLD THEM WHATEVER THEY WERE DOING WASN'T WORKING. IT WAS THEN I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA ACCORDS SEEM TO HAVE A BRAKE ISSUE, BUT HONDA IS AWARE AND WORKING ON A SOLUTION. AS OF LAST WEEK, MY CAR IS NOT ONLY MAKING SQUEAKING NOISES WHEN I BRAKE, IT IS ALSO MAKING A HIGH-PITCHED GRINDING SOUND THAT IS AUDIBLE OVER MUSIC PLAYING ON A LOW VOLUME. THE NOISE OCCURS EVERY DAY, JUST LIKE THE BRAKES' NOISE HAPPENS DAILY. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A CAR THAT WAS LESS THAN A MONTH OLD AND IS NOW LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I HAVE A LITTLE OVER 25,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND FEEL EMBARRASSED TO HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT LOOKS SO NICE BUT SOUNDS SO HORRIBLE. I FEAR GOING LONG DISTANCES BECAUSE I'M WORRIED MY BRAKES MAY NOT STOP ME IN TIME. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THE BRAKES AND REPLACE THEM NOW. HONDA OWNERS SIMPLY DO NOT DESERVE THIS. *TR

• 12/23/2009· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,EQUIPMENT

  WITHING A FEW WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE HONDA ACCORD 2009, IN GERMANTOWN, MD, IN DECEMBER 2008... IT STARTED MAKING A SCREECHING SOUND IN MY BRAKES. EVERYTIME I GO GET IT CHECKED, THEY SAY IT'S FIXED. THEN AS SOON AS I DRIVE AWAY, THE NOISE IS STILL THERE... WHAT THE '!@#$% IS THIS? I JUST GOT THIS BRAND NEW CAR... AND STARTED TO MAKE NOISE... THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN... NOW, THE YEAR IS ENDING... AND THE NOISE IS THERE... I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CONSIDERING FILING SUIT ... *TR

• 12/22/2016· UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

  MY ENGINE IS CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD. I RECENTLY NOTICED THIS AND HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE A COMMON RANDOM DEFECTS WITH HONDA ACCORDS. I AM WORRIED THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT ONE DAY CATCH ON FIRE OR EVEN FAIL WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE GOTTEN A LETTER FROM HONDA STATING THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GAS BUMP BUT THEY WERE WRONG. THE PROCEDURE TO FIX THIS MAY COST ME A LOT OF MONEY BUT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DAMAGE. IT EFFECTS MY SAFETY AND I AM NOT WILLING TO RISK THAT. *TR

  2009 HONDA ACCORD WAS IN REVERSE AND PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. ACCELERATOR WAS "STUCK" AND SPEED INCREASED WHILE TAKING FOOT "OFF" ACCELERATOR. *TR

• 12/21/2017· ENGINE

  THE VTC VALVE DOES NOT GIVE THE PROPER OIL PRESSURE RESULTING IN LOUD NOISES AND RATTLES. OIL PRESSURES IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF SAFE ENGINE OPERATION. FROM OUR RESEARCH NUMEROUS HONDAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

• 12/21/2013· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  STARTED FROM STOP AT LIGHT INTERSECTION AND ACCELERATED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. AFTER LETTING OFF ACCELERATOR AND NOW GOING STRAIGHT, FOUND CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING AT FULL THROTTLE. BEGAN HEAVILY STEPPING ON BRAKE WITH CONTINUED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CONTINUING. SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND RPM METER SHOWED ENGINE REVVING TOWARD 7000 RPM AND DECIDED TO GO BACK TO DRIVE GEAR TO AVOID CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE WHILE STILL HEAVILY STEPPING ON BRAKE. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CONTINUED IN DRIVE GEAR AND AFTER SEVERAL MORE SECONDS, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF WHILE IN DRIVE GEAR. ENGINE SUCCESSFULLY SHUT OFF AND I CONTINUED TO KEEP FOOT ON BRAKE AND STEERING THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT. AFTER CAR CAME TO A STOP IN PARKING LOT, PUT THE GEAR BACK TO PARK MODE AND PROCEEDED TO START THE CAR IGNITION (I HAVE NOT TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT ALL SINCE REALIZING THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAD OCCURRED). CAR STARTED AS NORMAL WITH NORMAL IDLE SPEED IN PARK. DROVE THE CAR TO DEALER AND HAD DEALER CHECK FOR CODES AND TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. NOTHING ABNORMAL WAS FOUND DURING CODE READING AND TEST DRIVE. DEALER SAID THAT DRIVER SIDE RUG COULD HAVE CAUSED ACCELERATOR TO STICK BUT THIS IS NOT LIKELY CAUSE (IN MY OPINION) BECAUSE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHOULD THEN HAVE STILL BEEN STUCK WHEN I RE-STARTED THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. *TR

THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES THAT MANY TIMES. IN THE LAST YEAR ALONE, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS 3 TIMES. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO REPLACE MY REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WHEN I LAST DID IT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING THIS PROBLEM, HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE! ALSO IN JULY 2015, MY AC/HEATER STOPPED WORKING, WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUSE, SO WE REPLACED IT BUT ITS STILL NOT WORKING.

  WE HAVE FOUND THAT ARE 2009 HONDA ACCORD HAS A PARASITIC DRAW WE HAVE TO PULL FUSES SO THE BATTERY DOES NOT GO DEAD WITHIN HOURS. HAVE TRIED NEW BATTERIES, CHARGE BATTERIES. THROUGH OUR OWN RESEARCH PEOPLE ARE CALLING THIS PROBLEM A PARASITIC DRAW FROM THE BATTERY AND ITS A MATTER OF TRACING WIRES DOWN AND PULLING FUSES. AND IF YOU WANT TO USE CAR WITHOUT RUNNING BATTERY DOWN MY HUSBAND HAS PULLED A FUSE OR TWO BUT THIS DISABLES SEVERAL THINGS RADIO, SOME DASHBOARD FUNCTIONS. WHICH IF IT KEEPS GOING COULD BE PROBLEMATIC ON THE FUNCTION OF THE HONDA MAYBE AFFECTING LIGHTS EVENTUALLY OR OTHER SAFETY FEATURES. SO WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND HOW BAD IT CAN GET AND HOW IT CAN BE FIXED. SOME PEOPLE WERE DISCONNECTING WIRES TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. WHEN WE BOUGHT CAR IT HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED. SO THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY INCREASED AS TIME HAS PASSED.
