general problems of the 2012 Honda Accord

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.

While stopped at a red light, I stepped on brake and without warning, the car accelerated uncontrollably, at a high speed. It crashed into a parked vehicle and was a total loss. I had my 17 mos. Old granddaughter in a rear facing carseat, in the rear passenger side. Luckily, the upa baby carseat protected her and she was not hurt, nor was anyone else. Airbags did not deploy. Now I have to get a new car which is very costly, using the little I will get from insurance payout. The car was well maintained with less than 50,000 miles without any other prior incidents. I do see that other motorists have had similar experiences with this make and model. It should be investigated further, in order to avoid serious injuries to others.

While driving a Honda Accord straight ahead in the far right lane, the driver suddenly heard a "boom" noise, and the car shot forward at what the driver says felt like double the speed the car was originally going. The driver says he had no way to control the car as it moved forward and struck the car in front of it before veering left and crossing over all 4 lanes, including a median, and crashing into a ditch on the other side of the road. The driver complained of chest pains and was taken to the hospital. At first, while still at the scene of the accident, prior to being taken to the hospital, the driver assumed he had been hit by another car because of the "boom" noise and suddenly being pushed forward, which is what he told the police. However, after being released from the hospital and having processed what had occurred, it is believed the car malfunctioned and accelerated forward on its own. It is a miracle no one was seriously injured. This could have easily been a very tragic story instead of a miracle. This complaint is being submitted in hopes that something like this does not happen again.

Backing into driveway the car accelerated to full speed by its self. Pushed the brake pedal with both feet, and the car would not slow. Travelled about 60 feet and crashed into our double garage doing significant damage to the garage and the car was a total loss. Not sure what speed car accelerated to, best guess 30 mph.

Driving my Honda on a cold night at 20 degree, I hit my brakes and the car accelrated at a extreme high speed, I was unable to stop and crashed totalling my vehicle.

The vehicle was backing up and when put in drive to park, the vehicle accelerated at a high rate of speed. I was braking as hard as I could and it went over the block causing damage to my car and hitting the building causing damage . This happened after filling my car up with gas the night before. I need to know if there is a recall on this.

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.

Engine coolant, thermostat, radiator and engine failed at a mere 37k miles. Honda refused to cover. It was in motion when it started smoking and shooting out fluid from under the hood. Had it towed to two Honda dealerships only to not have it covered.

VIN: 1hgcp3f85ca007095 year: 2012 make: Honda model: Accord sedan when accelerating from stop or stop and go traffic, when accelerator is engaged car does not respond for appx. 5 seconds then accelerates at rapid pace causing a sudden jurk in acceleration. I have been behind other cars when this has happen which could have resulted in rear-in accident. Also crossing median with on-coming traffic on other side when car would stall while crossing almost causing on-coming car to hit me on passenger side. Since car was purchased used and out of warranty for this problem, townsend BMW, would not repair problem or even look at it after sale. This occurs at different times so have to drive for a while before it will occur. Will be taking to dealer soon when I can afford cost of parts and repairs. I have discovered that if I hold break and give some acceleration I am assured the car will not stall on take off. This is the only safe way to drive this car in this condition. However, it is not normal by no means. Thank you for reading and hope this isn't happening to others but certainly needs to be considered for recall if others are having problems. Many possible situations where this could cause accident and injury to driver, passenger and others in front of the car.

I got my 2012 Honda Accord it had 8 miles on it. I have had several incidents while driving that the acceleration delays about five seconds it feels just like the car is not getting gas and then it kicks in. This usually occurs when I have slowed down or am taking off from a light turning. I have had that delay happen when ever I drive.

The vehicle has several times failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal is depressed. When the pedal is depressed nothing happens when itis expected to accellerate forward. This has happened for the most part when exiting an expressway and coming to a stop at the bottom of a ramp and then attempting to enter traffic or cross over traffic lanes. The remedy seems to be to release pressure from the pedal and depress it again rapidly.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. The contact stated that in colder weather, the fuel cap was extremely difficult to remove. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection but they were not familiar with the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and advised the contact that in colder weather, the fuel would shrink and cause a vacuum, making it more difficult to remove the fuel cap. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 5,000.

The problem is that the vehicle hesitates after I start a turn, then have to stop, then when I want to accelerate again the hesitation occurs. This has occurred approximately 6 times in a 4000 mile period. The vehicle has always accelerated after hesitating but there is a noticable hesitation which is cause for concern. I have read other comments about similar hesitation problems which seem to mirror my experience. I will ask the dealer about this problem when I next take the vehicle in for service.

The mechanism for releasing the fuel door is a latch/button located inside the vehicle near the driver side floor. Depressing the mechanism is supposed to release the exterior fuel door so that gasoline can be filled into the vehicle. The mechanism does not work. Upon repeated pressing of the button, the fuel door will not open. Eventually, prying a flat object into the spacing between the fuel door and the body is required to release the fuel door. The vehicle has been serviced at mile high Honda for this problem twice (the latest service occuring on January 2, 2015) and in both instances the technicians, while able to reproduce the problem, were unable to repair it. The technicians stated that they have seen this problem with other 2012 model Accords and have not been able to identify the source of the problem or fix it. Further, the technicians stated that they spoke with Honda's technical service department, who acknowledged the problem exists for other 2012 Accords and stated that they have no resolution at the time. Lastly, despite widespread occurence of this problem, Honda has yet to recall the vehicles to remedy this issue. I have owned this vehicle for over two years, which was purchased brand new, and this problem has been recurring every single time I have attempted to open the fuel door. The problem is significant in that it restricts ability to fuel the vehicle.
