SUMITOMO 70K 600AB 94V HTR ENHANCE L/X 2255017HTR PURCHASED ALL 4 TIRES NEW AT 84K ON 9-11-2014. ON 7-2-2016 AT 103K, I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-95 ABT 70 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY STARTED VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. MANAGED TO RIDE IN EMERGENCY LANE TO NEXT EXIT AT 15 MPH TO FIND A TIRE SHOP ON NEXT EXIT. HAD TO PURCHASE 2 NEW TIRES- CAUSE WAS A SIX INCH SECTIONS OF TREAD THAT APPEARED TO HAVE SEPARATED INTERNALLY. HAD NUMEROUS "BUBBLING" ON BOTH TIRES, BELT SEPARATION WAS NOTICEABLE. THESE ARE 70K TIRES AND THEY ONLY HAD 19K MILES ON THEM. I WAS ALONE AND HEADING TO JAX, MANAGER OF TIRE PLACE SUGGESTED THAT WE TAKE SEVERAL PICS OF THE TIRES SINCE I WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE THEM WITH ME (MY TRUNK WAS FULL). WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK TO GA FOR ANOTHER 3 WEEKS DUE TO MED EMERGENCY- UPON RETURNING BACK, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE TIRE PLACE THAT INSTALLED THEM ALONG WITH THE PICS AND RECEIPT. MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO SAVE THE 2 DEFECTIVE TIRES (AS IN BRINGING THEM WITH ME!) AND THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL THEM WHEN IT HAPPENED (THEY ARE CLOSED ALL WEEKEND) AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO COMPENSATE ME FOR THIS ISSUE WITHOUT THE ACTUAL TIRES! I HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS WAS EXPECTED OF ME.
EVEN WITH CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE, THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 20 MILES, OR AT TIMES COMES ON AT START UP AND REMAINS ON. SOMETIMES CAN GO MONTHS WITHOUT IT COMING ON. THIS IS NOT THE SEPARATE LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR.
BOUGHT CAR IN 2012 WITH 24,000 MILES. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A WHILE , A LOUD DRONING NOISE BECAME AUDIBLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM. RECENTLY HAD TIRES REPLACED AND CAR ALIGNED AT 57,000 MILES. NOISE BECAME MUCH LOUDER. TOOK CAR FOR INSPECTION AND MECHANIC SAID PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL BEARING WAS MAKING THE NOISE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST QUOTED IS APPROXIMATELY $330. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE ABS/VSA AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE UNINTENDED ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE VSA SYSTEM AND THE TIMING CHANGE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000. DJR UPDATED 11/14/14*CN UPDATED 7/28/2015 *JS
I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC ON 11/23/13 WITH COMPLAINTS OF NOISE WITH THE REAR WHEEL BRAKES. WHEN THEY CHECKED THIS OUT, THEY FOUND THE REAR BREAKS HAD WORN OUT AND HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTOR AND THE BRAKE PADS. I HAD THEM DO THE PA STATE & EMISSION INSPECTION EARLY (WERE DUE IN JANUARY 14) WHILE THEY HAD THE CAR. THE TOTAL COST INCLUDING INSPECTION WAS $361.05. THE COST OF THE BRAKE PADS & ROTORS WERE $328.10. I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA DEALER IN HAMILTON, NJ ON 3/22/14 FORAN OIL CHANGE. DURING THIS VISIT THEY DID A MULTI POINT INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE AND FOUND STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKES HAVE ONLY 5MM (6/32") LINING LEFT. THE MILEAGE AT THIS DATE WAS 36,995 (10,153 MILES AFTER THE LAST REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTORS AND PADS). I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THE LINING HAD WORN DOWN TO THIS THICKNESS SO QUICKLY. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS AGAIN BEFORE THE NEXT INSPECTION NOW DUE INNOVEMBER 2014, WHICH WILL COST ME ANOTHER $328.10. *TR
ON OCTOBER 30 2013 I RECEIVED A CERTIFIED LETTER TO INFORM ME OF A LKQ WHEEL RECALL. THIS RECALL IS FOR A NEW AFTERMARKET WHEEL IDENTIFIED AS 2009 HONDA ACCORD. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE ALONG WITH NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS TO GET INFORMATION ON WHAT HAS PROMPTED THIS RECALL. THAT BEING SAID I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE MONITORING OF AFTERMARKET PARTS RECALLS. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A VIABLE WAY TO GET THESE WHEELS OFF THE ROADWAYS. SHOPS THAT PURCHASED THESE WHEELS SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON TO INFORM THEIR CONSUMERS OF THE DANGEROUS WHEELS. THE COMPANY THAT SENT OUT RECALL IS LKQ-KEYSTONE CORPORATION. WHEEL PART NUMBER ALY63934U20N IN THIS RECALL THEY STATE " THIS RECALL IS BEING CONDUCTED DUE TO POTENTIAL DEFECTS WHICH COULD CAUSE THE WHEEL TO FAIL, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR. I SEE THIS AS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS INCIDENT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS EXTREMELY SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

REAR BRAKES ON 2009 HONDA ACCORD LX NEED REPLACING AT 18,000 MILES. *TR
AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING AFTER 12000 MILES. DEALER DETERMINED THAT AC CONDENSER HAD A HOLE FROM A IMPACT. TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR. *TR
AIR CONDITIONER IN 2009 HONDA ACCORD WON'T WORK. BROUGHT TO DEALER AND THEY SAY A ROCK HIT THE CONDENSOR WHICH IS LOCATED IN FRONT BEHIND THE OPENINGS IN THE BUMPER WITHOUT ANY SCREEN OR PROTECTION. THEY DO NOT COVER IN WARRANTY AND WE HAVE TO FILE WITH OUR INSURANCE WHICH MAY RAISE THE COST. SOMEONE MY HUSBAND WORKS WITH HAS THE SAME YEAR ACCORD AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO THEM AND HONDA WILL NOT COVER. SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WHICH IS COSTING CONSUMERS AND THEIR INSURANCES MONEY. *TR
WITHING A FEW WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE HONDA ACCORD 2009, IN GERMANTOWN, MD, IN DECEMBER 2008... IT STARTED MAKING A SCREECHING SOUND IN MY BRAKES. EVERYTIME I GO GET IT CHECKED, THEY SAY IT'S FIXED. THEN AS SOON AS I DRIVE AWAY, THE NOISE IS STILL THERE... WHAT THE '!@#$% IS THIS? I JUST GOT THIS BRAND NEW CAR... AND STARTED TO MAKE NOISE... THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN... NOW, THE YEAR IS ENDING... AND THE NOISE IS THERE... I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CONSIDERING FILING SUIT ... *TR
2009 HONDA ACCORD LEASED IN 2008 FROM VALLEY HONDA, 4173 OGDEN AVENUE, AURORA IL, 60504. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO NOISE COMING FROM BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL PULLING TO THE LEFT. RETURNED VEHICLE SEVERAL MORE TIMES COMPLAINING OF SAME ISSUE. VALLEY HONDA STATED THERE PER TECHLINE, HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS WORKING ON A COUNTERMEASURE. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I EXPLAINED TO HONDA, THE DEALERSHIP AND THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAUS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I HAVE TO "PUMP" MY BRAKES IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE DURING STOPPING...ALL DISAGREED. CAN YOU HELP? *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 938 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,024. UPDATED 6/3/09 *CN UPDATED 06/04/09.*JB
