general problems of the 2012 Honda Accord

Abs, traction control and brake lights on. Diagnosed by 2 mechanics told abs module is bad, which affects braking and is hazardous. Also told this should not be happening with so little mileage on vehicle 50k. There needs to be a recall for this issue!!!!.

My abs, traction control, brake & tpms lights have been on for the past few months. My tire air pressure is fine. The dealer claims I need to replace the vsa module at the cost est @ $1900. After my personal investigation, I have learned Honda has had numerous customer complaints of these same issues on 2012-2013 Honda Accords.

Sudden loss of steering control causing vehicle to veer from the intended path of travel.

Check engine light due to low engine oil level, radio/climate control display may go dark, major issue is "no start" due to ignition switch failure and fuses keep blowing so many issues and problems.

Abs,traction control, brake light steady stay on. Have taken vehicle to numerous mechanics. Issues can never be resolved. Lights will stay on no matter what. I have to change the brakes like every 4-6 months. Alignment also has to keep getting done. I don't know if that's because the issue with whatever is causing the braking issues haven't been resolved. Also the oil has to be changed like every 4,000 miles. ??. I also was driving down the road one day and heard this loud bang almost like a gunshot and out of the blue the trunk torque rods and the clips broke spontaneously.

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.

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.

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.

The driver side lower ball joint spontaneously failed at 106000 miles. No creaking, whining, clunking, or any indication that it was failing. There were no cracks in the boot and the vehicle drove fine prior to the failure.

Car made strange noises, when stopped, when brakes applied little hard. Honda service center suggested to replace the steering rack. And gave me an estimate of $2200. Car has mileage of 82000.

Hard to steal at first . Speed of windshield wiper changes at will while in use.

"takata recall" my Accord's steering has a weird vibration going over 30 - 60 mph. It feels like my front wheels wobbles. After making sure the wheels were ok, its later found that there is a steering leak. Because of this issue, it is impacting the wearing of the tires unevenly. After I rotated and balanced it, the problem is still there. The Honda dealer wants to charge more than $4500 dollars to replace but after reading so many similar issues it appears that it continues to shake and vibrate. Not sure what happened to Honda reliability but, it is troubling. I went to have them address the takata recall but I keep getting calls from them when I already went to get it "fixed". Not sure if they actually did the job because I called them back and I have the notification stating that the work was done, but another department was telling me it wasn't done. I hope this is not happening elsewhere.

Takata recall my 2012 Honda Accord has a consistent vibration/shimming while driving in the highway. I replaced all 4 tires with brand new tires, had the tires balance but the problem persist at 60+mph. I have read many testimonies online about the same issues and Honda of America not willing to help.

Takata recall my 2012 Honda Accord has consistent vibration/shimming while driving on the highway at 60+mph. I bought the vehicle used from a Honda dealer in January of 2017. I replaced all 4 tires and had them balance but the problem persist and Honda of America isn't willing to help. I have read many testimonies on line about the same issue and no help from Honda USA.

Made an appointment for electric power steering torque sensor recall at schamburg Honda,schamburg ill for which I waited one hour in line and never got into service area. Dealer appears to purposely not want to make mandated repair. ,.

41000 miles power steering leaking , front wheel bearing needs replacing . Need to replace entire steering rack to tune of 1700 dollars. Steering leaking since 25000 miles. Honda should recall. Numerous complaints involving steering problems. Caveat emptor!.

I have vibration on steering wheel beyond speed of 60mph. The thread depth on the front tires is 9. 5/10 on both the sides. The thread depth on rear tires is 5 on both the sides. At the dealership I was told that there are flat spots on the tire. It was worked upon for wheel balancing. However the vibration exists. Is such a vehicle safe to drive with a child? how safe is the vehicle situation? does Honda american know about the problem? I did some search and reading on the internet for the defined problem, model year and components. It is noted that there are others as well with same issue which has resulted into uncomfortable and potentially life threatening driving conditions. I don't think dealership should be responsible.

Power steering rack is leaking. Need to replace power steering rack. This is my second repair. I currently have 55,000 miles on what was a brand-new 2012 Honda Accord coupe. Power steering rack is leaking. Need to replace power steering rack. This is my second repair. I currently have 55,000 miles on what was a brand-new 2012 Honda Accord coupe. I first noticed the problem 10 months ago and had it repaired. That did not solve the problem. Because it is a very slow leak I am estimating the problem existed well before I discovered it. I am confident I got a bad power steering rack from the manufacturer. Hey experienced whining sounds going around turns especially roundabouts. I'm convinced this is a faulty parts because Honda power steering rack steve not go bad at 45 to 50,000 miles. Hondas corporate customer response about the situation has been lackluster to say the least. Dealer is better to deal with. This is the fifth Honda I have owned or driven via a family member. This is not a wear and tear problem this is a manufacturing safety problem.

My complaint is about safety negligence, on the corporate site for Honda and I quote states “your safety is our priority”. I took my car to get checked for a knocking noise and was told ball joints recommended to be replaced. I asked if it was safe to drive and was told yes by service advisor. After being charge for apparently tighten rods. Apparently the certified technicians neglect safety of the customer and also have attitudes towards customers was told this when brought car in and I quote “so you know more than the Honda engineers”. The front left wheel of my car came off (where the noise was coming from) after taking it to the dealer and being charged for tighten rods. Now dealer is blaming me for the wheel coming of when I was told that the car was safe to drive. My complaint resolution should be Honda techs/dealer should be held liable for their safety neglect and should repair the damages that have cost me to my vehicle which I have work hard for.

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".

I took my Honda in for a scheduled oil change and tire rotation at the local Honda dealership. I told him about a winding noise in my front end and a strange substance on my tire rims. After having the car a few hours they called me stating that my power steering rack was completely gone in me car and that it would have to be replaced. My car has 10,992 miles on it. I can only imagine what would have happened if I was highway driving at 70 miles an hour.

About 2000 miles after buying the car I noticed a shake in the steering wheel . We took it too the dealership for a rotate and balance. When we got it back I still felt the shake. We took it back again and they balanced them again (so they say) and still has a shake. I am a mechanic and have been for 12 years, so I took it to the shop and balanced them myself, and it still has a shake. It seems to happen between 60 and 75.

From day of purchase brand new, vehicle vibrates (shimmies) at speeds beginning at about 58 mph and upward. The vibration is felt in the steering wheel, and the wheel can be seen visibly vibrating. Passenger can sense the vibration from sitting in the passenger seat. After four attempts to correct the problem, dealer has failed.

I purchased a 2012 Honda Accord v6 ex-l in Dec. 2011. I noticed a steering shimmy/vibration and an escalating grinding noise in August 2012. I originally test drove this vehicle thoroughly when I purchased it and never noticed this problem until August 2012. The Honda dealership technician isolated the noise to a failed left front wheel bearing. They replaced the bearing and grinding noise has gone away but continue to have shimmy/vibration at 55 -75 mph and is most noticeable/amplified between 60 - 70 mph. Since then I have taken the vehicle back and Honda technician verified that the tires were balanced correctly. I test drove the vehicle with the technician and he confirmed that there is a vibration/ shimmy of the steering wheel. The Honda dealer technician than drove another vehicle in their lot that was the same year, make and model with 500 miles on it and it did the same thing. He said it could be the road. I said not every road or highway where speed limits are above 55 mph will do this to a vehicle. He said that if more complaints are filed their may be a recall but there was nothing else he could do at this point and if he heard anything in regards to a recall he would let me know. The technician looked at my rims for any curb damage which there is none and I informed him that I haven't hit any curbs. I was going to go back to the Honda dealership to complain about this constant problem but thought I would research on-line to see if there is any other 2012 Honda Accord owners having this problems and there is so I see no needed to make and waited trip to Honda dealership. Since I drive 60 miles round trip to work five days a week this is getting to be very irritating and now the lower part of my arms have developed tingling/numbness sensation after driving for these long periods of times.

I noticed noise, wheel vibrations and steering problems. The Honda service department said that I had a bad wheel bearing on the left side and replaced it. After I received the car back from the shop, I noticed the car was pulling to the left, wheel vibrations, loose steering wheel and making noise. The car did not shift between gears properly and fluctuated between rpms randomly (even when at idle). I took it back to the Honda service department. This time they reset the computer in the car and performed idle relearn procedure; adjusted the toe on all four wheels. They also found that the rear rotors were out of round and "machine rear brake rotors" but reused the brake pads. I do not feel safe in this vehicle. I have scheduled another service appointment for 8/28. However, I am still having the idle rpm, shifting problems, wheel vibration issues, steering problems, noise issues as well as several other problems. This manufacture should be forced to issue a recall.

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?.

I have purchased a new 2012 Honda Accord se model with VIN [xxx] on January 19th 2012. I purchased my vehicle from riverside Honda through foothill federal credit union. Ever since, I have been experiencing nothing but nightmares. I have followed the recommended manufacturer's break in period format step by step. Three days after the purchased, I drove the vehicle on the fwy and noticed a weir, uncommon and rather disturbing shimmy on the steering wheel between 65 to 75 mph. My vehicle is unsafe and unfit to be driven on freeways. I needed your help desperately to prevent a catastrophic event. The safety of my family, community and public are at risk. I have acted and proceeded as indicated. I have brought this shimmy issue to the Honda dealers. I have brought this shimmy issue to american Honda. I have driven the vehicle with a Honda adviser and a field rep. In both cases, the shimmy has being identified, noticed and established. Yet, noting has been done to correct the problem. An identical vehicle was driven with the american Honda filed rep. No shimmy was identified, proving Honda wrong. The american Honda field rep that test drove my vehicle stated that he was going to help me. He stated that sometimes cars have been found to have the wrong tires installed. He was to check for recalls, bulletins and what the engineers from Honda will advise him on my case. He offered to care of the paper work. I trusted him. He was going to send me a copy of what we have discussed together. The field rep made one statement verbally to me and wrote a totally different scenario on the paperwork. I have being lied to, mislead, and deceived as a consumer and as a human being. I am asking in the most humble way for assistance. American Honda must take responsibilities for the defective vehicle they have built. It is their duty and social responsibility.
