Car has frequent issues with starting and power loss inside and outside the car. This is my second time having a issue with my car not starting that did not have to do with the battery or alternator. I have 135xxx miles and keep up with maintenance so this is frustrating and expensive, happening months apart. The first time I had to have a new starter put in. The car also looses brightness on the dash board and in the headlights. The car stalls while starting since ive had it.

2012 Accord exl - engine sezure! I had the air-bag recall done about 5 years ago. None of the air-bags deployed when the 2012 exl hit a telephone pole at 20 mph and broke the telephone pole in half. I finally found out about the class action lawsuit for the excessive oil consumption yesterday (1 qt per 1,000 miles), 2 years after the engine sezure. I spoke with Honda headquarters (1919 torrance blvd, torrance, CA 90501) today for an hour and a half. Mostly on hold waiting for alma to get her stupervisor markita to come to the phone. Honda seemed to think my 2012 v6 exl is not part of the lot of cars they were supposed to fix in the excessive oil consumption class action lawsuit. If you have any advice on how I could recover any funds spent on my engine repair or if there is any recourse I could take with the airbags not deploying when I had the recall done 5 years ago at my local Honda dealer. Thanks todd faircloth macon, GA 9123084747 ps. . Cherokee auto in north atlanta georgia has the car for sale with the faulty airbags… carmax repossessed it, sold it for more than I owed them, wrote off $6500 as bad debt, and still say I owe them 750 and staying on my credit report. Pls help! tf.

Twice in the past couple of months my car has turned off while in drive and I lost power steering/braking. Both times were luckily in my apartment parking lot. They occured about 10-15 seconds after backing out and putting it in drive. The second time I almost slid into a car driving by since I wasn't able to brake.

My 2012 Honda Accord is using oil in between my 3000 mile oil changes and it should not be using that much, in between changes I put 1. 5 quarts of oil in the engine. I have read that some Hondas are having this problem I only have 125000 miles on my car and take really good care of my vehicles the inside still looks new. Also the air conditioner isn’t blowing cold enough air. I purchased it in may of 2014 I love my car, my mechanic says it’s the rings in the engine, I don’t drive car erratically. Hope you can help get my car fixed correctly, my machanic noticed this the last couple of oil changes.

1) when starting the car ( cold ) it makes a rattling sound that goes away after a few seconds and does not make this sound again until the car cools off 2) sometimes when driving the steering wheel shakes during acceleration.

Engine seizure.

This vehicle consumes so much oil to the point that there is not hardly any oil when the oil change is due.

Upon start of I heard a rattle and it stopped after a couple seconds. I got online and see it seems to be a common problem for my Honda the vtc actuator goes out frequently.

I am experiencing the issue outlined in Honda TSB 09-010, at cold start-up, the engine rattles loudly for about 2 seconds. Notice issue after driving vehicle 95,000 miles. Was not able to have dealership check the issue because it only happens when vehicle has been sitting idle in the cold for a long period of time. Plus vehicle is garage kept. Now that extended warrenty has expired, wondering if this a recurring issue, would a recall force Honda to resolve issue.

Engine/transmission has stuttering/jerking at low speeds in 1st or 2nd gear daily.

�takata recall�. I have taken measures for the safety recalls, adhering to required dates provided by NHTSA of this vehicle, one being the air bags recalls. I was involved in a recent car wreck (January 12th, 2019)at which the driver front air bag deployed from steering wheel. The opposing passenger ran a red light at a street/intersection perpendicular to the street I was traveling on. I t-boned her 2010 Honda Accord in the rear panel, driver's side. I was traveling at speed limit, approx 42 mph and she was traveling at excessive speed but I am unaware of her speed limit. My vehicle continued in a straight path but completely totaled the front end and driver's side front panel, frame, etc. As for my my injury, I felt burnt on both wrists at the time of impact, but due to shock of accident I did not seek medical attention. Over a course of 4-5 days my left wrist showed significant burns and only now, 23 days later, has the left wrist burn begun to heal but will most definitely leave an obvious scar.

I was at a stop sign on private property. I attempted to move forward to make a left turn and the car suddenly accelerated. I couldn't stop it - but a tree about 20 feet away did. Even if I had floored the gas pedal, the car would not have gone that fast that quickly. I have read of others that have had the same experience. Honda just says there is nothing wrong with the car.

While driving car engine light came on engine ran rough next the traction control came on, will not turn off. Now after checking the oil added less than a qaurt,still rough misfires.

I am experiencing the issue outlined in Honda TSB 09-010, at cold start-up, the engine rattles loudly for about 2 seconds. I contacted my local dealer that was well aware of this problem. Took it in and the dealer changed out the vtc controller. 63,000 miles. Not covered due to out of warranty (5 years/60,000 miles). I asked if there was an extended warranty or recall and the dealer said no. It is unacceptable that this is such a widespread known issue with the Accord and crv, yet Honda fails to issue a recall.

The vehicle consume too much oil. Oil changed on 10/22/2016 and today 10/26/2016 the vehicle shows 10% already consumed. The vehicle is for personal use, is driven about 6 miles a day.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. While driving approximately 60 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the engine revved and rpms increased rapidly. The engine seized for a moment. After applying the accelerator pedal, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The failure recurred on a separate occassion. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate or locate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,017.

My vehicle only has 88,000 miles and the power steering pump is starting to scream. Is there a possible recall on this item?.

I am experiencing the issue outlined in TSB 09-010, at cold start-up, the engine rattles loudly for about 2 seconds. I am in the process of trying to contact american Honda to see if I can get goodwill to get this repaired. It is unacceptable that this is such a widespread known issue yet Honda fails to issue a recall.

I was driving on a down hill road ( about 0. 3 miles), and my transmission was exactly on "d". Because it was a down hill road, I released my gas pedal. However, suddenly my engine made some acceleration sound, and on the meter, it showed that the engine speed was increasing from 2000rpm to 3000rpm. (please notice that I was not feeding the gas at that moment because I was driving on a down hill road ). I immediately step on the brake and the engine began to slow down. I need to drive on this road on a daily basis. This kind of incident had never happened previously.

Operating on the highway and vehicle had a loss of power. This loss of power happened when trying to merge into fast moving traffic on the interstate. The vehicle loss power as the merge began and caused vehicles operating from behind to drastically slow down or pull into left hand lane also, was unable to safely travel in the slow vehicle lane because of the loss of power. Evidently, dealership reported several cylinders had oil fowling on the spark plug. The engine was taken apart and cylinders 1,3,5 rings were replaced.

The vehicle was considered totaled with an estimate of $22000-$25000 in damages. The front airbags never deployed. . Read more...

While applying brakes, the engine revved up and car started to accelerate - I had to move transmission into "neutral" to stop vehicle. It was inspected the following day by a Honda dealer and they said that the car was functioning normally. It has happened 3 times since it was inspected by a 2nd dealer, the latest time was March 7th, 2015.

Vehicle does not accelerate, but hesitates 2-4 seconds from a stop or near stop, then suddenly surges to mid throttle forcing the driver to either brake suddenly or avoid hitting another vehicle. Happened 4 times in one year with my car.

2012 Honda Accord. Consumer writes in regards to engine misfire that may disable vehicle. The consumer stated the vehicle was still under warranty. Supposedly, a federal court authorized a notice regarding the engine misfire problem. The dealer informed the consumer, even though his VIN was included, there was nothing they could do, until he experienced a failure.

I was on the street, approaching a red light. All of a sudden the engine started to speed up. The car did not jump forward. I immediately pressed on the brake, put the car into park, and shut the engine. Luckily there were no cars in back of me. I started the car again. Everything seemed normal. Two days ago, on March 22, I was parking the car on the street between two other cars. I was in either d or r, when the vehicle started to race again. I followed the same procedure as before, and shut the engine. The first time this happened, I took the car to a Honda dealer. It was claimed they drove the car and everything seemed fine. Several weeks ago as normal maintenance, I had the transmission fluid changed at the Honda dealer. This seems to be a very dangerous situation. Please investigate.

When cruising on the highway, the steering wheel develops a vibration. Also, when the car is idle, it vibrates almost like a cylinder is missing a spark. Only have 34000 miles on this car and its giving me these issues that they say "can't be fixed".

That was on Monday 12/31/2012 while traffic in freeway was very clear. I set cruise control at 60 mile/hour but suddenly the car kept increasing faster more than 75 miles. I was panic and kept stepping brake to reduce speed. About one minute, the car was reduced at speed of 50 miles/hour. I tested it without cruise control. I drove steadily about 60 mile/hour about 10 minutes that the car started accelerated by itself again and hit 75 miles/hour. I kept stepping brake steadily to reduce speed until it kicking into 50 mile/hr. This car is definitely defective car with numerous issues. Its defrost system does not function at all that almost killed me on September 2012. Again I brought it to dealer on 01/02/2013 for accelerated issue and defrost system but Honda power dealer still could not detect it. I filed complaint with ftc and district attorney/prosecute unit to request to investigate about this issue. I contacted to Honda motor to request it to take this car back and terminate my lease but Honda motor refused my request because Honda motor used test results from power Honda dealer and Honda world dealer as Honda motor 's decision found that there were not any defective with defrost system and accelerate found. Honda motor made this car and failed to detect its problems that is no matter it can detect this car problem or not that Honda has to hold accountability to lease it to me.

This is an intermittent recurring issue with the vehicle. When making a slow speed turn, typically accelerating from a traffic light or stop sign, the engine will not respond to the accelerator being depressed. This occurs if I have to lift off of the accelerator and reapply pressure, due to traffic slowing around turns or other driving conditions that necessitate lifting off of the gas pedal and then stepping on it the problem has not happened when going straight, only on turns. There have been times where this has proven to be unnerving and potentially dangerous as there were vehicles approaching and the brief hesitation caused what could have been an easy turn with no chance of an oncoming vehicle hitting my car to a situation with the potential for my vehicle being struck. When the first few hesitations occurred I was advised that it could be caused by the drive by wire technology. As I review some of the forms I see numerous instances where others have experienced this momentary non response when pressing on the accelerator. I also noticed that this is not just an Accord issue as other Honda model owners have experienced this same problem. At first this was an annoyance, but as stated it has become more of a safety concern.

I am into my first year of leasing this new vehicle. I have brought it to the dealer for repairs 3 times. It has been confirmed by the dealer/shop that the vehicle has a "definite shimmy" shaking of steering wheel at highway speed. ( 60-65 ). They have done all the necessary steps to repair this problem and nothing has worked. I have called Honda mfg and filed a report as well. I was told by the mfg, they would look into this problem. I was also told by a Honda rep. That it may be a "characteristic" of some Accords. I feel as a consumer this would be unsafe to drive. I don not feel safe driving this vehicle. Also, the a/c has been worked on 3 times as well, and still not working properly. Why can't the dealer authorize a replacement when it has been confirmed? why would the dealer even let me leave lot knowing it has a definite problem? shouldn't safety come first for all?.

Stopped for gas engine keep running at high level of rpms with foot on the brakes stopped the car by shifting to neutral and turning engine off this was the second time it happen in one day. In my other complain regarding Honda I said April instead of may.
