general problems of the 2012 Honda Accord

Car cut off.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed and coming to a stop, the driver heard an abnormal sound, and the vehicle suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. The contact stated that the driveshaft had separated from the vehicle and had fallen on the road. The vehicle was towed to ron's automotive center inc, where it was diagnosed that the driveshaft had failed and damaged the oil pan. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a related recall. The failure mileage was approximately 193,000.

Transmission is fluttering going into 2nd to 3rd gear.

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.

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.

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

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

Bought a used 2012 Honda Accord form bill gatton Honda in bristol TN a few months ago. Had it for 1 day and was having vibration problems when going in 3rd gear. Took it back and dealership said there where no problems. I no from forums that I have read that Honda has had problems with there automatic transmission. Why don't they fix the problems with transmission, instead of lying to you at the dealership. Honda should step up to the plate and issue a call back on 2012 Honda coupes automatic transmissions. And fix there engineering problems. Car is dangerous to drive with this problem. I have almost been in tow accidents because of this vibration problems with the transmission.

While driving home from work the transmission started �slipping. � within the next 2 miles the car lost acceleration and began jerking and appeared to brake although my foot was still on the accelerator. The transmission shop where it was taken said two parts inside the transmission had fused together. . . The car was trying to go in reverse when placed in neutral. He said they had a Honda odyssey there with 160,000 miles having the same problem. My car only has 62,000 miles. Defective part, common problem, or unlucky owner?.

Axels started causing extreme vibration at approximately 60,000. This is an issue that involves most of these cars. I made a claim, it Honda says issue due to wear and tear. After much research and discussion with my mechanic, it seems to be something defective in the axle. Honda refused to give me anything in writing denying my claim, and had made the decision prior to speaking with me.

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.

Periodically during acceleration the vehicle seems to lose power or hesitate to begin with it was barely noticeable now when it occurs it's very obvious and normally takes three to five seconds to recover.

Faulty vtc actuator. Thousands of 2. 4 liter engines have this problem. Make Honda issue a recall.

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.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph the vehicle stopped abruptly without any warning. The contact stated that the failure recurred on a separate occasion. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000. Wh.

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.

1). "acceleration" - my daughter drives this vehicle most of the time and she has complained to me on several occasions that this vehicle is hesitant in its acceleration speed (0mph at a stop, up to 55-60 mph getting onto highways). For an example: she has advised,on several occasions when as she goes on the "highway" into merging traffic, the car looses power and does not accelerate up to proper speed to get on highway to merg into traffic . She stated pushed the gas pedel down to the floor, then a couple of seconds, the car will pick up speed. Also, when at a "stop sign" once she presses gas pedel to go,the car hesitates to take off and then it goes. We reported this to the Honda warrenty department in Feb/March 2013, was told "take vehicle to Honda dealer". We did and mechanic advised-could not find anything wrong with the car. To date as of (4/20/2013 my daughter still experiences this hesitant acceleration problem. Its not right and I am paying $560+ dollars a month for a new vehicle with these problems. This is a serious safty concern I have for her, driving this car. I saw a tv commercial about a recall on Honda Accords and I was quite suprised that when I logged onto the NHTSA website the number of people who are having the same problems with there 2012 Honda Accords as we are experiencing. 2). "headrest" -while driving the vehicle on a highway trip-October 2012, I noticed that I could not properly rest my head on the "drivers seat headrest. I am 5ft-5 &1/2 inchesi tall. I tried to adjust the driver's headrest up and down, but I could not place it in a comfortable position to help support my head and neck. It was very uncomfortable and I could not properly fit my head on the rest for ease of driving, especially for suppoort of my neck. It was extreamly painful and stressful on my neck as I have already had pre-esisting conditions with this part of my body.

When I got my 2012 Honda Accord it had 300 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 or going straight. At times it has done cut out while turning in front of on coming cars as well as from a light. I have felt a few times that it wasn't going to go at all and the on coming car would run in to me. I have had that delay happen at least once almost everyday.

Purchased new 2012 Honda Accord I noticed on my way home from dealer that at 60 to 66 mph the steering wheel shakes and shimmys also the vehicle pulls hard to the left regardless of the road crown. The dealer has balanced and roadforced balanced the tires rotated the tires and aligned the vehicle but I still have this problem. After driving 2 other brand new Accords from his lot and they all have the same defect at the exact same speed leads me to believe that the Accord has a serious safety issue with its steering system. American Honda has not made any effort on their part to help me or to correct the problem. This is my 3rd Accord. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

On random occasions when accelerating from a stop there is a 2 to 5 second hesitation upon depressing the accelerator. I move forward a few feet then nothing, the engine does not stop but remains in idle mode. Then the power suddenly returns and the car moves forward. This has occurred multiple times, in both rainy and dry conditions; going straight or making both right and left turns. Issue does not cause warning lights to come on, and dealer can not replicate the problem. Diagnostic are all fine. But this 2 to 5 second hesitation is extremely dangerous, I came close to being hit during one of these "hesitations" when trying to turn onto a busy road.
