general problems of the 2012 Honda Accord

This car needs cv axle assembly replaced as published under 'Honda news' attached as I am in one one the 22 states that uses road salt. Honda dealer claims to have no knowledge of this , I need you to escalate please. [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

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.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at a very slow speed, there was a loud sound coming from the front passenger’s side before the vehicle abruptly stopped driving forward. The vehicle was towed to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the front passenger’s side axle had fractured. The mechanic also discovered that the driver’s side axle was also unsafe. The driver’s and passenger’s side front axles were replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The local dealer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 116,000.

Have a 2012 Accord. Dealer said axle was rusted and is attempting to replace it (dealer is not doing a good job and I'm having them redo under warranty. ) there was no incident as of now. Reporting because their 2013-2015 models are presently under recall for rusting in a similar part of the vehicle (the "dynamic damper" part of the cvt / axle assembly if I've understood correctly). Honda claims the rust on the 2012 is "ordinary wear and tear" but I don't buy that. Dealer tried to take pictures to send to Honda America, who wouldn't cover repair.

Tires on Honda Accords are cupping for no given reason, there was a recall on Honda civic for cupping, there needs to be a recall for cupping on hoda acconrd v6 and seddan, toooooo many complaints , even when alignments tire rotation and all done on time.

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.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle started to shake and no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician performed an alignment; however, the remedy failed to correct the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who stated that the vehicle was operating as designed. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 21,000.

Honda is sending out its cars with the rear wheel camber set to negative 1 to 2 degrees. This causes the tires to wear out on the inside edge and the rear tires do no make proper contact with the road. The front camber is usually set to zero (ie straight up and down for the tires). The smaller contact patch not only wears out the tire edges but makes a safety hazard as the tires wear down and the contact patch decreases. Rotating the tires only makes the problem worse. I requested a wheel alignment at zero miles and again at 6k with the request that the rear tires be set to zero camber. At 30k my tires are worn out only on the inside edge and I am requesting a third wheel alignment which now will cost 600 dollars or more to fix Honda's problem. I believe the camber problem makes the cars susceptabile to spinning around in icy weather due to the difference in tire patches. This is worse on an icy road. Honda other than the local dealer will not talk to its customers. . . . . .

On the front of the car, I hear a siren when I press the brakes and it is really annoying that it gives me a headaches.

Tl - the contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the front suspension began vibrating abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician advised that the rotation and alignment of the tires were needed. The vehicle was taken on several occasions to the dealer for the same failure. The contact also stated that on the second occasion of the failure, the technician advised that all four tires needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50 and the current mileage was 2,000. Kmj.

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?.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the steering wheel began to shake and pull to the right abnormally. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer for a diagnostic test. The dealer stated that the wheels needed to be balanced and aligned. After the dealer balanced the tires and performed a wheel alignment, the steering wheel continued to shake and pull to the right. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer where the dealer then stated that the vehicle was designed to shake when driving at higher speeds. The manufacturer was contacted and a regional manager also stated that the vehicle was designed to shake when driving at higher speeds and that servicing the vehicle was unnecessary. The contact later took the vehicle to an authorized dealer for another diagnostic test in which the contact was advised that the tires were out of balance. The failure mileage was 4,400. Kmj.

The vehicle has a shimmy at highway speeds in excess of 50 mph. It doesn't matter what the roads are like as many in my area are brand new, the vehicle is not safe and has a significant vibration at highway speeds. The vehicle will be going back to Honda for the third time and I have had the wheels balanced, front end aligned, and I am now going in for a road force balance. There are many issues reported on line and this is a common problem with these vehicles. Having owned 7 Honda products in the last 16 yrs, this will be my last. One more visit after this and I will be seeking a lemon law claim on the vehicle. This is a huge issue as you can see on the internet. I am in the car business and this is far from within specifications from any vehicle I have ever driven and poses a definite safety issue for many vehicle owners.

2012 Honda Accord. Consumer states vehicle is a lemon the consumer stated since taking delivery of the vehicle, he has returned to the dealer eight times to correct a defect related to a shaking/vibration in the steering wheel which occurred at highway speeds between 60-80 mph. The vehicle was road tested by Honda service repair managers at two different dealerships for a total of over 126 miles and each time it was acknowledged and documented that a vibration in the steering wheel existed. The tires were balanced and rotated several times, but the vibration continued.
