MY WINDSHIELD IS FULL OF SPECKS, WHICH IS CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVING, IF THE SUN HITS THE FRONT WINDOW ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW. THIS IS MY 3RD HONDA AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE , ONE CAR I HAD FOR 15 YEARS NO WINDSHIELD PROBLEM WITH IT . IT HAPPENS WHEN THE SUN HITS THE WINDOW, BUT ALSO ON A CLOUDY DAY. ITS VERY VISIBLE AND DIFFICULT TO SEE CLEARLY DRIVING OR JUST SITTING LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING HONDA (ACCORD) CARS FOR OVER 40 YEARS. NOW I OWN A HONDA CROSSTOUR. GREAT CAR! I DO NOT DRIVE VERY MUCH AND ONLY LOCALLY. MY AVERAGE ANNUAL MILEAGE IS ABOUT 7,000 MILES. MY CROSSTOUR IS 7 YEARS OLD NOW AND HAS JUST REACHED 53,000 MILES. YESTERDAY I WAS TOLD THAT I I NEED A $1,600 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE "RACK AND PINION". APPARENTLY A TINY PIECE IS BROKEN ON IT. THIS IS VERY TROUBLING. EVEN THE AUTO REPAIR TOLD ME TO CONTACT HONDA AS THIS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY.. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED BY HONDA DEALERSHIPS. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTED WHEN I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I CONTACTED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RACK AND PINION IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT NEW PARTS ARE NOT MADE. I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BUY A RE-FURBISHED PART. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH A SERIOUS PART OF THE VEHICLE, WITH ONLY LOCAL MILEAGE ON IT, CANNOT BE UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. AND, I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT ONLY "USED PARTS" ARE AVAILABLE. I AM A LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER FOR MANY MANY YEARS. I AM A 75 YR OLD, SENIOR CITIZEN ON A LIMITED SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM A REPRESENTATIVE FROM HONDA'S CUSTOMER LOYALTY DEPARTMENT WHO CAN PLEASE HELP ME!

THE TIMING BETWEEN SHIFTS ON THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTS ARE GOOD SOMETIMES AND WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS ON IT MAKES NOISES AND CAUSES THE CAR TO HAVE LATENCY IN GEAR SHIFTS, THE FRONT WHEEL HUB COVERS FALL OFF CAUSING THE TIRE TO ROLL OVER THE PLASTIC AND RIP IT OFF THE BODY , THE COOLANT SYSTEM IS DEFINITELY COMPROMISED BECAUSE THE CAR OVERHEATS TOO FAST ESPECIALLY IN HOT WEATHER, THE DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD GET CAUGHT UP IN AND AROUND THE ENGINE AND AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM FROM THE WHEEL COVERS BEING FAULTY THE PARKING BREAK DOESN'T WORK WELL AND IT'S BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT OFF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR ALSO THE TIE RODS WEAR OUT SO FAST CAUSING MAJOR PROBLEMS WHILE ON HIGHWAY SHAKING AND VIBRATING THE CAR AND STEERING WHEEL, ALSO THE CAR BURNS OIL SO FAST THAT YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER AT MAX 3000 MILES, BEING THAT THE NEWER MODELS ARE HAVING TIMING BELT RECALLS IN JUNE 2019 THIS LEADS ME TO QUESTION WHY MY MODEL WOULDN'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUES IF NOT WORSE

"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.

BOUGHT A USED 2012 HONDA ACCORD FORM BILL GATTON HONDA IN BRISTOL TN A FEW MONTHS AGO. HAD IT FOR 1 DAY AND WAS HAVING VIBRATION PROBLEMS WHEN GOING IN 3RD GEAR. TOOK IT BACK AND DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WHERE NO PROBLEMS. I NO FROM FORUMS THAT I HAVE READ THAT HONDA HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THERE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHY DON'T THEY FIX THE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION, INSTEAD OF LYING TO YOU AT THE DEALERSHIP. HONDA SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ISSUE A CALL BACK ON 2012 HONDA COUPES AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. AND FIX THERE ENGINEERING PROBLEMS. CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN TOW ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS VIBRATION PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

MY HONDA HAS A RECALL TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG(S). THE PROBLEM IS THAT I DO NOT TRUST THE LOCAL DEALER, LARRY MILLER HONDA TO WORK ON MY CAR. I HAD A RECALL OF A PREVIOUS HONDA CIVIC, THE DEALER TOLD ME I NEEDED $800 IN REPAIRS TO MY SUSPENSION, I TOOK THE CAR TO A HIGHLY TRUSTED LOCAL SUSPECNSION SERVICE, THEY SAID THE ONLY THING THAT NEEDED DONE WAS AN ALIGNMENT. THEY HAD THE PROBLEM LIST FROM THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THEN, FRIEND OF MINE BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA FROM LARRY MILLER TOYOTA. WHEN HER CAR HAD 18,000 MILES ON IT THEY TOLD THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID NEEDED REPLACE, AND OTHER WORK NEEDED DONE, THEY CHARGED HER OVER $200! WE KNOW THAT IF ANY WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE ON HER TOYOTA IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, SHE HAD OWNED THE CAR LESS THAN 2 YEARS. SO, THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED. I WOULD LIKE TO GET HE AIR BAGS REPLACED, ANY SUGGESTIONS?

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE TRANSMISSION STARTED 'SLIPPING.' WITHIN THE NEXT 2 MILES THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AND BEGAN JERKING AND APPEARED TO BRAKE ALTHOUGH MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE IT WAS TAKEN SAID TWO PARTS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION HAD FUSED TOGETHER...THE CAR WAS TRYING TO GO IN REVERSE WHEN PLACED IN NEUTRAL. HE SAID THEY HAD A HONDA ODYSSEY THERE WITH 160,000 MILES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES. DEFECTIVE PART, COMMON PROBLEM, OR UNLUCKY OWNER?

POHANKA HONDA (CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD) - ADDRESSED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. HOWEVER, IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING SERVICED, THE WARNING LIGHT(S) REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG REMAINED ON (WHEN IT SHOULDN'T), AND DID NOT INDICATE (OFF) WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE. I REPORTED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD - THAT IT IS UNRELATED TO THE RECALL THEY HAD ADDRESSED, AND IT WAS A "SENSOR" ISSUE SEPARATE FROM THE RECALL WORK. THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE FOR ME PRIOR TO HAVING THE RECALL ADDRESSED, BUT NOW I HAVE THIS ISSUE AND I'D HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE CORRECTLY, HOW DO I KNOW I AM NOT DRIVING AT RISK...WHY AM I ORDERED TO PAY TO RESOLVE SOME ISSUE THAT WAS NOT APPARENT BEFORE TAKING MY CAR TO THIS DEALERSHIP.

MASTERCRAFT SRT TOURING M+S 225/60R18 TIRE. THE TIRE HAD BEEN ON THE CAR, BOUGHT NEW, SINCE 2014. THE CAR IS USED EVERYDAY SO IT DID NOT SIT AND DRY ROT NOR DOES THE TIRE HAVE ANY SIGNS OF DRY ROT. WIFE WAS ON INTERSTATE IN THE SLOW LANE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE. SHE HAD JUST LEFT HOME WITH THE CHILDREN AND HAD DRIVEN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MILES WHEN THE TIRE CAME APART AT THE SIDEWALLS ON BOTH SIDES. EXAMINATION OF THE TIRE SHOWS THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT PUNCTURED THE TIRE NOR WAS IT GOING FLAT OR LOW ON AIR AS THERE WAS NO SENSOR INDICATING THAT IT WAS LOW ON AIR. WE DO USE NITROGEN IN THE TIRES AND THE TIRES HAD ABOUT HALF + TIRE LIFE REMAINING. THE TIRE HAS BEEN SAVED BY ME ALONG WITH THE VALVE SENSOR FOR EXAMINATION IF WARRANTED. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE TIRE STORE WAITING FOR A DIFFERENT BRAND TIRE THAT WAS ORDERED TODAY AND TO BE INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE ON 2/5/2019. SO I DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENT TO UPLOAD TODAY.

'TAKATA RECALL'. I HAVE TAKEN MEASURES FOR THE SAFETY RECALLS, ADHERING TO REQUIRED DATES PROVIDED BY NHTSA OF THIS VEHICLE, ONE BEING THE AIR BAGS RECALLS. I WAS INVOLVED IN A RECENT CAR WRECK (JANUARY 12TH, 2019)AT WHICH THE DRIVER FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED FROM STEERING WHEEL. THE OPPOSING PASSENGER RAN A RED LIGHT AT A STREET/INTERSECTION PERPENDICULAR TO THE STREET I WAS TRAVELING ON. I T-BONED HER 2010 HONDA ACCORD IN THE REAR PANEL, DRIVER'S SIDE. I WAS TRAVELING AT SPEED LIMIT, APPROX 42 MPH AND SHE WAS TRAVELING AT EXCESSIVE SPEED BUT I AM UNAWARE OF HER SPEED LIMIT. MY VEHICLE CONTINUED IN A STRAIGHT PATH BUT COMPLETELY TOTALED THE FRONT END AND DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT PANEL, FRAME, ETC. AS FOR MY MY INJURY, I FELT BURNT ON BOTH WRISTS AT THE TIME OF IMPACT, BUT DUE TO SHOCK OF ACCIDENT I DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. OVER A COURSE OF 4-5 DAYS MY LEFT WRIST SHOWED SIGNIFICANT BURNS AND ONLY NOW, 23 DAYS LATER, HAS THE LEFT WRIST BURN BEGUN TO HEAL BUT WILL MOST DEFINITELY LEAVE AN OBVIOUS SCAR.
