Two problems related to wiring have been reported for the 2010 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2010 Honda Accord based on all problems reported for the 2010 Accord.
The car jolts when put into gear and when transmission shifts between gears. Feels like the car is going to stall during transmission shifts during acceleration/deceleration. The check engine light is on and d light is blinking. Required the engine wiring harness and drivers under dash fuse box to be replaced. Honda says the car is not included in recall for this even though Honda has a recall for potential failure with the engine wiring harness connector for the 2010 Accord.
In recent, companies have changed how they make the insulation for cables attached to a car's engine. The soy products now used to create the wire insulation concerns me a great deal. This weekend my wife was driving our car, a 2010 Honda Accord, and while on the road the car started to shake and stutter violently, and would not accelerate. This could have ultimately caused an accident and harmed her and other people. After having our car towed to the dealership, there was evidence that a rodent of some type had chewed on the cables. Not only did this make the car unstable to drive on the road, but there was a threat of electrical fire because the wire's insulation was chewed away by a small animal that was attracted to the soy-based food source in the wires. Adding the soy to the wires can cause problems including unreliability, fires, and possibly even death. I don’t take this lightly. Automobile makers are using the soy material because it is less expensive for them. Overall, it costs consumers/insurance companies much more when repairs are needed because of this problem. Not only is this dishonest of auto makers, but these types of shortcuts are illegal as well. Please require manufacturers to make wiring insulation out of non-soy-based products to ensure the safety of my family along with yours. Thanks.
