When vehicle is parked, and not running, trunk lid unlatches, and opens, randomly and uncommanded. This has occurred on numerous (4-5), occasions when vehicle was parked in my garage.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. While attempting to load the trunk of the vehicle, the hatch closed and injured three family members. Medical attention was not received. The vehicle was taken to apostolakis Honda (3156 elm rd, cortland, OH 44410, (800) 900-4600) where it was diagnosed that the dampers on the spring may have weakened due to the age of the vehicle. The contact was informed to properly open the trunk to its full upright position for proper operation of the trunk. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000. The VIN was invalid.

My vehicle has missing structural adhesive on the front driver side suspension strut tower. It appears the robot that bonds the pieces of metal together with adhesive either had an air bubble in the line when this vehicle was made or there was some other defect. In addition, the transmission shifts extremely rough and nothing has been done by Honda to correct the issue. I also had to have bubbles fixed in the paint on the trunk lid. The adaptive cruise control is nearly impossible to use because it does not detect vehicles ahead and accelerates rapidly or applies the brakes abruptly for no reason. American Honda was notified of the defect in the suspension strut tower adhesive but refused to send an engineer to look at the car. In my opinion, any missing structural adhesive used to join metal, especially on a highly dressed place such as the strut tower, could easily become a safety defect. I would prefer my vehicle be bought back from Honda as it appears to be a lemon.

Body: the tension bar does not open the car trunk lid all the way which more often drops down and hit the person's head or face who is putting stuffs in the trunk assuming it is fully open all the way. I did got hit twice by the corner and edge of the trunk lid on the forehead and left temple. The latter caused bruise and pain that took me a week to recover. Should change weak tension bar to strong gas tube operation. Engine: the car vibrates and rattles upon putting on reverse gear even after at least a minute warmup in the morning. The dealer said it is normal for this type of car? this is very embarrassing for a newer car. I never see this in a Toyota cars that I owned: sienna, avalon. . . Seats: driver seat is not well designed and causing awkward and uncomfortable and fatigue position while driving. There is insufficiency of support for lumbar are ( the current one is too soft and sitting back so there is virtually no support at all). Again Toyota cars seem not having this kind of problem. Also, the driver window is not tall enough that even a 5'6" person can bang his head to the top of the window when getting up and out of the drive seat. It should be 2" taller to avoid this problem. They should put cushion to the top edge and safety grip handle at the minimum. Driving condition: the car seems to wander when running on freeway at normal speed.

We have had our 2014 Honda accord for just one year. All of our family members have been hit in the head and back by the trunk door. The trunk does not stay open on even a modest grade, but does not fall down for several seconds, close down suddenly with a light wind not allowing people to lean into the trunk before it hits them. Injury to death could happen anytimes from the trunk lid lock. I have owned 10 cars and have never had one where the trunk lid will not remain up.

Trunk lid falls suddenly even on slight grades and sometimes on level areas. Dealer has checked this and says the torsion bars are working According to specs. Sooner or later this will cause an injury. Wife and I have been hit on head by this lid numerous times already.

The trunk lid will not stay in the open position when parked on an incline. No issues with lid closing have occurred while parked on level ground. But, when parked on a sloping driveway, trunk lid will drop to the closed position without warning hitting anyone accessing items in the trunk. Incidents of the trunk lid hitting someone in the head or back have occurred. While it has not happened so far, if trunk lid were to fall the entire distance and hit someone's hands, there is the potential for major injury.

The trunk on my car automatically opens so I have to pull over and close the trunk. I have noticed that usually this happens when I am leaving my house so I believe there is a defect in the automatic trunk opening feature on this car. I back out of the drive way and after driving for 1/2 a block or 1 block the trunk open light comes on. Then I have to pull over and shut the trunk or the trunk lid will open fully and block my visibility out of my rear window. The vehicle is in motion and on a city street when this happens. I am not sure if starting the car causes this problem or putting the car in gear or automatically unlocking the car doors but there is something in that series of actions that causes the trunk to open. This does not happen every time I leave my house but it happens sporadically. I went online to research this problem and there are customer complaints about this issue on Honda cars so I am not the only one having the problem.

Trunk lid has no resistance and has fallen on us numerous times causing facial/head injuries. Problem is exacerbated when parked in our driveway which has a slight elevation. If lid is not held manually, gravity and weight of the trunk lid free-falls. It has been returned to two Honda dealerships for supposed "repair" or we are told "that is the way it's supposed to be" -- an authoritative statement from american Honda customer service today (case number 04244825). " in my 54 years of car ownership, including many Hondas, I have never experienced this problem.

The paint began peeling under trunk lid and has now started on roof, hood, and around rear and front glass. Paint is peeling all the way to the metal in large sheets up to a dollar size at a time.

The trunk lid on my wife's 2011 Honda Accord came down and hit my forehead and caused a cut and bleeding. The Honda trunk lid does not stay up in any position other than all the way up. They have no safety devices installed on the truck lid as other vehicles have. This trunk lid has hit my wife and I a few times. When we push it up, we expect it to stay up in all positions like other cars. This is a unsafe condition that could cause a serious accident to anyone not familiar with this situation. I went to the Honda dealer and also wrote to their headquarters and they said that there is nothing they can do about the trunk lid. "it would need a modification and we don't do that". Please look into this serious safety problem. The power of the lid coming down so fast cloud cause serious injuries, to adults and children.

Over time, the clearcoat on the hood, spoiler, trunk lid & hood has delaminated.

Trunk lid won't stay up. When trunk lid up, it comes crashing down on my head. It has done this for several years, and has gotten worse. It has put several gashes in my head. Honda says the bar connecting to the hinges own made anymore. There must be a way to fix this before I get a concussion.

2007 Honda Accords trunk spring seems to have no effect, and it slams down easily if it is not fully raised. The trunk slammed down on my wife's arm a few times when she is putting in the grocery (her wrist was badly bruised). I took it to the dealership, but they will not fix it stating that it is not an issue. Honda did fix the problem for the 2009 model.

Reported matter to victory Honda service - Plymouth. Advised that rods were working properly. Would have to special order trunk springs if needed. Vehicle now out of warranty. Examined several models on dealer lot. Some have similar problem, some even worse. Lid had struck writer and daughter in the head on several occasions.

The trunk lid since new will barely stay up. It has come down on our heads multiple times. At some point someone could be seriously injured. We reported this problem to the dealer who told us Honda was looking into it but there was no fix available. I should have reported this long ago.

The trunk lid is not stable when lifted up and will fall down easily. For many times, when we are loading stuff into the trunk, the trunk lid will fall down unexpected. The action of puting a luggage or grocery bag into the trunk will shake the car a little bit, which is normal for most cars, but the unusual thing for this Honda Accord is that the trunk lid will fall down by this shaking. I was hit by the trunk lid several times and I would expect some serious injury could happen to someone. Another complaint about the trunk lid is the sealing. I live in southen California so rain is rare. But a heavy rain caused the trunk became a pool and the trunk mat is fully soaked. Although at that time, the car was still under the Honda certified warranty, Honda told me the trunk sealing is not covered. What even angered me about Honda's service is they put an unmatched spare tire into my trunk. I found that out after having this car for more than 2 years and had a flat tire.

The trunk lid, when opened, does not always stay up. Occasionally, after the lid has been opened, it will start to close. In at least two or three instances, the lid came down and hit me on the upper forehead. The problem appears to be due to a marginal strength spring that may be due to a design defect or a defective spring.

My Honda Accord 2002 vehicle id number 1hgcg56612a038370. . . . My wife and I on several occasions have opened the truck lid. . . . Looked in the trunk ( to remove groceries or luggage) and had the trunk lid come down suddenly and strikes us on the head. The trunk lid does not lock properly in place. We have not been injured . . . But someone could easily suffer a seroius head injury.

I purchased a 98 Honda Accord in October of 2001. It has been in the shop approximately eight times since it was purchased for numerous problems. The brakes had to be replaced about four months after buying the car. The paint has faded on the roof and is now fading on the trunk lid. The key has gotten stuck in the ignition twice and would not come out until the next day. The gas pedal has gotten stuck after cranking the car and pedal had to be "punched" to get it to accelerate. The cd player has been replaced. The doors would not lock using keyless entry or manually and the door accuator was replaced. The keyless entry has also been replaced. These are some of the things that are going on. Currently, the back window is vibrating and it is unclear whether it is loose or not. I do feel this is a lemon.

When trunk is opened the littlest movement will make trunk fall back down, which caused consumer to be injured.

Owner lifted trunk half way when it dropped down and fell upon owners and his daughters head, without warning.
