I just want to get rid of this recall. Full nose mask has been disposed long time ago.
THE VEHICLE HAS GOOD COMPRESSION, BUT A STRANGE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT IS ALSO LOSING OIL WHILE LEAVING NO OIL MARKINGS. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE, AND WAS GETTING ONE WHEN THE MECHANICS SAID THAT THE NOISE MEANT THAT THE ENGINE HAD PROBLEMS. MULTIPLE MECHANICS HAVE TOLD US TO REPLACE THE V6 ENGINE. THE TIRE RODS ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED, AND THE TSM LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF
LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON DASHBOARD STAYS LIT CONSTANTLY (YEARS!); EVEN AFTER BRAND NEW, PROPERLY INFLATED TIRES ARE INSTALLED. ON FLORIDA TURNPIKE FRIDAY 7/27/18 VERY FORTUNATE THAT TIRE MADE NOISE SO I PULLED OVER, AS TIRE INSIDE SIDEWALLS RUBBER WAS DISINTEGRATED/GONE WITH STEEL THREADS SHOWING! TPMS DASH LIGHT IS KNOWN DEFECT TO HONDA; BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE $90 TO TELL YOU THAT! I'M EXTREMELY LUCKY TO NOT BE IN HOSPITAL OR MORGUE TODAY!
THE TPMS LIGHT ON THE CLUSTER PANEL TURNS ON AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I'VE ROUTINELY CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE FOR PAST THREE MONTHS ON COLD MORNINGS AND WARM TIRES. THE TPMS LIGHT TURNS OFF ON IT OWN AFTER AN HOUR OF HIGHWAY DRIVING OR ONCE YOU SWITCH THE ENGINE OFF (IT DOESN'T COME BACK ON UNTIL YOU DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AGAIN FOR AT LEAST 30-60 MINUTES).

VSA BRAKEAND ABS LIGHT COMES ON AFTER ENGINE HAS WARMED UP. HONDA DEALOR HAS DTC 122-01 VSA SELENOID VALVE MALFUNCTION COST FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE VSA LIGHT PER WRITTEN ESTIMATE IS $1639.00. THIS IS A SAFETY HIGHWAY HAZARD. CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE# 04375940 AND KNOW ONE HAS KNOW KNOWLEDGE OF THE SAFETY CONCERN AND FAIL TO FIXED AND PAY FOR THIS SAFTEY HIGHWAY SAFETY NEED. REFUSES TO HAVE A SUPERVISOR CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS THE CLASS ACTION POWERTRAIN COVERED TIL 6-2016 SERVICE BULLETIN 13-078. MY CAR WILL NOT INCREASE IN SPEED STALLS AT 55 MPH ON HIGH SPEED AND SPEED LIMIT ON HIGHWAY IS 70 MPH AND CAN RECEIVED A TICKET FOR DRIVING UNDER SPEED LIMITED THAT CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAYS.
FIRST INCIDENT WAS ON 6/14/2015. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AS MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT SMELLED LIKE SMOKE. AS I TRIED TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON IT WOULD NOT CUT BACK ON. THE CAR HAD TO GET TOWED AND REPAIRS HAD TO BE DONE TO THE TUNE OF $1,500.00. THE BATTERY, GASKET, PLUGS & ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. SECOND INCIDENT WAS ON 7/17/2015. AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THE CAR STALLED & I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND BURST. THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS PUSHED IN.
I PURCHASED NEW TIRES ABOUT A YEAR AGO. TIRES HAD LESS THAN 30,000 ON THEM. BACK TIRES STILL HAD 90% TREAD BUT GETTING A VIBRATION. TOOK CAR TO THE BODY SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR END OF MY VEHICLE WAS BADLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT.. I COULD SEE IT WITH MY NAKED EYES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE REAR TIRES CAN NOT BE ALIGNED. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE CAMBER ON THE BACK TIRES, SO NO MATTER WHAT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE VIBRATION AND ALWAY UNEVENLY WHERE YOUR TIRES. ONLY WAY I CAN SEE TO FIX THIS, IS TO INSTALL ADJUSTABLE CAMBERS, BUT IF THIS IS A DESIG FLAW AND HONDA ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED IT WITH A SERVICE BULLETIN ADDRESSING THERE HONDA CIVICS, THEN WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FIX. I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH HONDA.

BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AROUND 120K MILES. LOUD HUMMING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. CHANGED OUT BOTH HUB ASSEMBLIES AND NOW IT SOUNDS QUIET AGAIN. SEEMS A BIT PREMATURE TO HAVE TO CHANGE OUT THE PARTS. *TR
NEED ASSISTANCE IN A MATTER THAT HAS BEEN SETTLED THROUGH A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED AGAINST HONDA IN SEPT/09, WHICH I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT ON 4/25/11. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION, BUT I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE CLASS ACTION AFTER ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A CALL TO THE COMPANY?S COMPLAINT HOTLINE TO VERIFY IF THERE HAD BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT PREMATURE WEARING OF THE REAR BRAKES AS THIS WAS MY 3RD REPLACEMENT. MY REPLACEMENT EQUALED OUT TO AROUND EVERY 25,000 TO 30,000 MILES. IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BRAKES AND HOW THEY WORK IF DRIVEN APPROPRIATELY TYPICALLY YOUR FRONT BREAKS WEAR FIRST AND YOUR REAR CAN LAST ANYWHERE BETWEEN 50,000 AND 70, 000 MILES. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES ONE TIME AND CHANGED MY REAR BRAKES 3 TIMES (CURRENTLY I HAVE 94,000 HIGHWAY MILES) IF YOU ASK ANY MECHANIC THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE REAR BRAKES SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES LONGER THAN THE FRONT BRAKES. I HAVE PROOF THAT THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE LIFE OF THE NEW BRAKE PADS HONDA CREATED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NOT KNOWING OF THE CLASS ACTION I NEVER SUBMITTED A CLAIM FOR A REIMBURSEMENT, BUT I FOUND THAT HONDA HAD ALREADY STARTED USING THE NEW BRAKES STATED IN THE CLAIM. THE DEFECTIVE BRAKES LASTED 30,000, AND NEW BRAKES LASTED EXACTLY THE SAME. I THEN I AM STUCK PAYING MAINTENANCE FEES FOR A DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC BRAKING DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, FOR AS LONG AS I OWN THE VEHICLE; NEW BRAKES AND POSSIBLE ROTOR DAMAGE EVERY 30,000 MILES. I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS WITH HONDA AND THE ATTORNEYS WHO REPRESENTED THE CUSTOMERS, WITH NO RESOLUTION. ALL I AM ASKING IS FOR 100% CORRECTION IN THE DEFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEEL RIM ON THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED BY HONDA WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER USES A CLEAR COAT ON THEIR WHEEL RIMS WHICH CAUSES WATER TO ENTER UNDERNEATH, WHICH HAS CAUSED CORROSION.

THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE WHEEL RIMS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,350.
