While driving to work and out of nowhere I began to smell a burning smell thought it was engine. I had ac on so I turned it off and that’s when I noticed that my center console was on fire. Was driving on freeway so took the first exit and immediately pulled over tried to put out fire but couldn’t. Luckily a couple from the car in front of me that was waiting for light came to help and put fire out. Have no idea what the cause of the fire was. Definitely a scary situation and safety issue.

It is no reason why my car got stolen. My car has a anti theft system in it and it was not triggered when it was stolen. I had to file a police report and the police are out looking for my vehicle right now. I went to a nail salon I come back out my car is gone. Its no reason why the alarm did not go off. Honda Accords and other Hondas are being stolen and it is ridiculous. Times are hard it is expensive to maintain there has to be something yall can do to stop these thieves from stealing peoples cars.

Was driving down the highway and the sunroof glass exploded for no apparent reason.

Sun visor snapped. It does not stay in place. It blocks my frontal view when I am driving which is very unsafe. I have looked online and multiple drivers with Hondas complaining of the same issue. I have tried multiple diy’s to make it stay up and nothing works.

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.

I bought my Honda 2012 as a used vehicle about 1 1/2 ago. I have had the tires replaced all the way around almost twice. I have had it in the shop multiple times for a vibration and noise that starts at about 60 mph and seems to lessen when I get to around 75 mph. I also have had to get the tires aligned multiple times, once within 2 weeks time and the steering seems to get looser and looser. Still been unable to figure out why this is happening by my mechanic.

The starter of my 2012 Honda Accord sport failed. My car has 72500 miles. Honda has classified this a premature failure caused by defect, but has failed to recall the starter. The starter that failed is made in the united states. The starter failure is caused my car to stop running in the middle of a highway causing serious risk. Many Honda customers have also complained about the issue with reports of starter failure on cars with less than 30000 miles. The cost of replacement is $800. 00 and Honda has refused to fix the problem or reimburse the cost of the fix. There are thousands of 2012 - 2017 Honda Accord cars with similar defective starter part currently on american roads, potentially leading to failures and accidents.

While driving on the city street I heard a loud noise (pop) I pulled over to the side of the road didn't see any visual damage, so I pressed the button to open the trunk and the trunk would not pop open, so when I lifted the trunk there is s bar that was laying in the trunk, the little white piece that rotates the bars and hooks the broke so the trunk no longer pops up when trunk button is pressed.

Takata recall.

The car makes a rattling noise when I start the engine. It stops after a few seconds. I checked the engine oil level and it was good.

I was traveling on interstate91 in vermont when my sun roof exploded, shattering glass all over the front and back seats and floor as well as covering me. The noise was deafening and I had no idea what was happening while going along at a speed of 69 mph. I feel Honda should have been responsible for this happening, but when I contacted their corporate office they told me they was nothing they were going to do to help if ray the cost!.

On 7/1/2017, I purchased the above vehicle with 12,000+ miles from yonkers Honda @ 1980 central park Ave, yonkers, NY with the proviso that the tpms light which was on would be corrected. I was told to take it to yonkers Honda service @ 500 yonkers Ave. , yonkers, NY whereupon a sensor would be replaced & that this action takes 4 hours. I have been to the service station 3 times - July 6, July 13 & July 25 & still the problem is unresolved. I am beginning to worry that this is a bigger problem with this feature. 1st Honda service ordered the wrong part, then the "correct" part came late and yesterday, my vehicle was in their shop from 7am until 2pm and still it's not resolved. This deserves an investigation as I fear my tire/s being underinflated or worse overinflated and not knowing so. I feel that I was not told the truth about this problem at the time of purchasing this vehicle and am beginning to think that the low mileage perhaps attributed to this problem. Thank you.

The car engine suddenly stalled in the middle of the road while driving on our city street. Also we are unable to push down the break. ( lucky no one behind us and we are not on the highway) . We had to turn the key to off position and restart the engine. Thank you.

Sold me a car with a bad tire rod did not know it almost lost control of the car took it one time to Honda and they said it was all right took it to my own mechanic and he told me I had a bad tire rod.

Car suddenly accelerates making difficult to keep under control. Happened many times. The car was running in the local city streets.

Allstate claim number: 0419487707 edward dugan allstate agency 1-630-351-9222 my car damage due to unintended acceleration on my 2012 Honda Accord. The accident happed 7/1/16 at between 12/30 and 1pm. When it happened, I did not have braking on the brake petal or power steering. I did a half circle in my yard to avoid hitting the house or garage. It happened from a stop in the cull-DE-sac. It left acceleration tire stripes where it started in the cull-DE-sac. In the driveway it marked where I turned. I tried to avoid the garage and then the house by making a semi circle in the yard. I clipped the concrete steps at the front of the house. Ran over 2 sections of a 4 ft. Fence in our yard. Hitting the concrete steps slowed the car so after the fence, the emergency brake stopped the car. The car fix was over $5000, and we had a $150 deductible . Sorry allstate. Car fix at service king 5th Ave. In naperville, IL.

My tpms sensors is constantly coming on and off. I took my car to a closest dealer from my work. Dealer was able to verify my complain and changed 3 sensors out of 4. I took a long trip appx. 2000 miles. And started to experience same issues. Sensor has started to come off and on again. So I scheduled appointment with my Honda dealer from whom I got the car. He told me that they were not able to verify complain. So right now I'm frustrated. I used my time to take my car to a dealer and since it's the only car in my household I spent money for transportation. I drive 30 miles to work every day and still experience same issues with tpms sensor it's coming on and off every time I drive.

Excessive oil consumption, using more than 1 qt of oil within 1,000 miles.

Two rear doors will not unlock when useing the switches on the driver side door. And rear doors will not unlock when using the remote on the key ring. The door motors sound like they are dying. All of this happens when the car is in the off mode engine not running and in park.

I was going straight and the lady she came from parking lut n hit me up. She had stop sing but she didn't stop. Ido have my police report if you guys need to?.

The tire pressure ms light continuously comes on and stays on. Even after we put air in the tires. It is completely unsafe because we have no idea if it's really low on pressure or if it's just defective.

The tempered glass sunroof exploded upwards, leaving shards of glass in a pattern like a crown. The temperature was 60 degrees, I was traveling at 65 mph on a lonely stretch of two-lane road with no other cars or people around me. The sound was like a tire blowout. The car is housed in a garage and has 27,000 miles on it. The Honda service manager said something had to have hit it, but he is wrong. Nothing hit it.

I pulled up to park at a bike trailhead and as I touched the brake the accelerator went to the floor, lurching the car forward and forcing the left front tire over the railroad tie parking marker. The car high centered and I pressed on the brake pedal but the engine kept racing. I finally got the car in park with engine still racing and shut the car off. When I turned the car on again, it responded normally. I took it to my local dealer and there were no error codes in the car electronic system.

On 8/03/2015 I was rear ended by another SUV that failed to stop while I was waiting behind a red light. The impact of the accident was severe enough to force my car to hit the other car in front of me and consequently I was taken but the ambulance to the local hospital for further physical examination. I am writing you this because after my release from the hospital I noticed due to the high speed impact the air bag light in my car had been turned on yet the air bag itself never deployed. Therefore I would like to make an official complaint and inquiry about the Honda auto company. I believe I might have skipped very serious physical injuries perhaps by luck yet the fact that the airbag of my Honda never deployed is rey disturbing to me. I would appreciate your help in this matter.

All four of my door locking actuators have all "failed. " the car randomly locks and unlocks on the highway and even though Honda has had a class action lawsuit over these door actuators for the crv they are not replacing the Honda Accord ones (they will for a small fee of $1500. 00).

I was in a parking lot. I made a right turn into a space and took my foot off the accelerator and had it on the brake when the car made a noise and accelerated on its own. I slammed down on the brake and the car stopped.

I took my 2012 Honda Accord vehicle to be serviced at a local dealership. The vehicle is a leased vehicle with 10 months left on the lease and is still under the 36,000 mile warranty. The dealership told me my ac condenser was broken and it was $710 to fix and is not covered by warranty. They said it wasn't covered because a rock flew up and hit the condenser, which does not make it covered under warranty. I feel as though this is a design/manufacture and fundamental flaw in the vehicle as if I get this fixed, it could very well happen again tomorrow with where the condenser is and has limited protection from the road and debris flying into it. I feel as if this should be covered under warranty and feel that there should be verbiage in the contract when I bought this car that there is significant chance this situation could happen. Minimally, there should be a small protective shield to protect the condenser from this happening. As a consumer, I don't feel my rights are protected and feel that Honda should take responsibility to f ix the car. After a considerable amount of research I have found out that there have been a lot of similar cases throughout the united states. I was hoping to have the us dot look into this further for perhaps a recall or a put a notice out for consumers.

As I was driving down the highway at approximately 70mph, the glass in my sunroof burst. There was a loud pop, and then I could hear highway noise. There were absolutely no cars around me and nothing above me, and I had not gone under an overpass. Most of the sunroof glass was gone, and the remaining glass and seal had sunken down into the car and was in a concave shape like it had burst from the inside out.

My sunroof exploded while on the ramp to enter the highway. There were no cars around, no overpasses when I heard a loud explosion sound and then wind noise. Not knowing what happened I pulled over, looked around the car and went back inside and started driving but the wind noise got louder and when I opened the slider a little, I saw that the sunroof had shattered. I pulled over again and called my dealership and without even looking at the car the service person told me that a rock must of hit it. I told him that there was no cars or trucks around me and he said that it must of flew up from somewhere.

Window on the driver side is wobbling, and causing excessive, annoying noise. It's getting worst with time.

I perchaced vehicle from used car dealership, of course nothing was said about the water problem. It makes a mildew smell in car, because as it rains, the rain pores into driver side window, even with it open only an inch. My brand new car stinks, and I'm wet going into work. Please help.

I started having problems with the vehicle feeling like it was sticking in a high gear around 2900 miles. On hilly roads, typically, the vehicle revs high and does not want to deccelerate when trying to brake. It feels as though the transmission is stuck in gear. It will attempt to accelerate as well. It has acclerated on me and has hit close to 5/6 rpms while trying to maintain my speed on hilly, windy, rural roads. It has done this once on the highway as well. It almost seems as if it in cruise control and trying to get back up to a higher speed. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they were unable to find any issue. The problem has continued, and I am now at 9200 miles. It is an intermittent issue, however, so it is hard to know when to bring it back to dealer just to be told they cannot duplicate it. This occurs approximately 2 times a week. It is scary as I have two young children.
