What 379 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Honda Accord Fhev

ON JAN 16, 2018 I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON E. KINGS, SHREVEPORT, LA IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A 4-LANE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 3:40PM. IT HAD SNOWED THE PREVIOUS DAY AND THERE WERE STILL PATCHES OF ICE ON ROADWAYS IN MANY SPOTS. AS I APPROACHED ONE OF THOSE ICE PATCHES AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, WHICH COVERED BOTH LANES IN THE SOUTHERLY DIRECTION I WAS HEADED, AN SUV BEHIND ME AND TRAVELLING THE SAME DIRECTION BEGAN TO PASS MY VEHICLE, LOST CONTROL OF HIS VEHICLE ON THE ICE AND INTO NORTHBOUND LANE AND WHEN HE HIT DRY PAVEMENT ON THAT SIDE OF ROAD VEERED SHARPLY RIGHT AND HIT MY CAR BROADSIDE WITH THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER OF HIS VEHICLE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE HONDA AND MY HEAD WAS BANGED AGAINST THE INSIDE PILLAR ON DRIVERS SIDE. COLLISION RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE HONDA'S DRIVER DOOR, LEFT REAR DOOR SEVERELY DAMAGED AND PULLED SLIGHTLY FROM VEHICLE; AND LIGHT DAMAGE ON LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL. BOTH VEHICLES REMAINED IN MOTION UNTIL THE COLLISION. SUV SPUN AGAIN AFTER IMPACT & CAME TO A STOP BLOCKING BOTH SOUTHBOUND LANES WITH FRONT OF VEHICLE FACING THE NORTHBOUND LANES. II WAS USING MY SEATBELT AS I ALWAYS DO. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT CONSIDERING THE SPEED OF THE SUV WHEN IT HIT MY HONDA, THE DAMAGE IT INFLICTED ON THE HONDA, AND THE FACT IT SPUN THE SUV BACK AROUND COMPLETELY FACING ANOTHER DIRECTION (IMAGE SUV 1) THAT AT LEAST THE SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED ON HONDA.

TAKARA RECALL, I KNOW THE FACT THAT IS SOME DEATH ACCIDENTS IN U.S. I WILL JOIN THE GROUP OF PEOPLE IN THE TAKARA RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL - THE CURTAIN AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG GETS DEACTIVATED FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING WITH NO REASON. ALSO MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPALCED DUE TO HUGE NOISE, AND FRONT RIGHT SUSPENSION IS LEAKING AND NOT TAKING SHOCKS.

I JUST BROUGHT THIS CAR IN 2016 AND IT ALREADY NEEDING NEW TIRES I THINK WHERE I GOT THE CAR FROM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ME SOME NEW TIRES.

NHTSA ODI 11057140

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" I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR HEAVILY VIBRATING WHEN THE CAR REACHED 60,000 WHICH IS A CONCERN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IF FELT UNSAFE, I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AT ONLY 30,000 MILES, THEY SAID IT WAS CRACKED SEALS IN THE STEERING RACK. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLE, VIBRATE. THEY FIXED IT, AGAIN IT HAPPENED AT 55,000 MILES, THEN AGAIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES LATER REPLACING THE STEERING COLUMN. ALL UNDER WARRANTY, THANK GOD I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IS THIS NORMAL. NOW I AM FULLY OUT OF WARRANTY, IT IS BEGINNING TO VIBRATE AGAIN. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE I GOT THIS MAKE AND MODEL, NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH ANOTHER HONDA. JUST CONCERNED THAT IT WILL BE AN EXPENSIVE ISSUE THAT SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM SINCE EARLY ON. THE CAR WOULD BE IN MOTION, INVOLVEMENT WAS WHEN REACHING A SPEED OF 55 OR HIGHER ON THE HIGHWAY. IT STILL VIBRATED AT LOWER SPEED BUT BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE PAST THAT POINT AND THE CAR WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT WITH A STIFF WHEEL.

THE VEHICLE WAS BACKING UP AND WHEN PUT IN DRIVE TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I WAS BRAKING AS HARD AS I COULD AND IT WENT OVER THE BLOCK CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND HITTING THE BUILDING CAUSING DAMAGE . THIS HAPPENED AFTER FILLING MY CAR UP WITH GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS.

NHTSA ODI 11052082

AXELS STARTED CAUSING EXTREME VIBRATION AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT INVOLVES MOST OF THESE CARS. I MADE A CLAIM, IT HONDA SAYS ISSUE DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND DISCUSSION WITH MY MECHANIC, IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING DEFECTIVE IN THE AXLE. HONDA REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANYTHING IN WRITING DENYING MY CLAIM, AND HAD MADE THE DECISION PRIOR TO SPEAKING WITH ME.

THE SEATS IN MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD ARE CAUSING BACK PROBLEMS. I DROVE THE SATURN FOR 15 YEARS AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY SHOULDER OR MY LOWER BACK. THE PAIN IS GETTING SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO SIT ON TWO AND A HALF INCHES OF FOAM RUBBER AND PUT MY LEFT FOOT ON THE DASHBOARD TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE. I AM GOING TO BEGIN TREATMENT FOR THIS LOWER BACK PAIN WHICH NOW EXTENDS DOWN MY LEGS THE SEATS IN THIS CAR CAN BE COMPARED TO SITTING ON A WOODEN BENCH I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE I ONLY DROVE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT. AFTER DRIVING 80 MILES THE NEXT DAY I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW SORE MY BACK WAS AFTER GETTING OUT OF THIS CAR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND I COULD HAVE TRADED IT IN BUT OF COURSE ANY CAR AVAILABLE WOULD HAVE COST ME MORE MONEY THE PAIN DISCOMFORT IS NOT ONLY GOING TO COST ME MONEY FOR TREATMENT IT IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH MY LEFT FOOT EITHER UP ON THE SEAT OR ON THE DASHBOARD. IF I DON'T DO THIS THE PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK AND HIPS IT'S ALMOST INTOLERABLE - I BOUGHT THIS AS A USED CAR TWO YEARS AGO

ON 7/1/2017, I PURCHASED THE ABOVE VEHICLE WITH 12,000+ MILES FROM YONKERS HONDA @ 1980 CENTRAL PARK AVE, YONKERS, NY WITH THE PROVISO THAT THE TPMS LIGHT WHICH WAS ON WOULD BE CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO YONKERS HONDA SERVICE @ 500 YONKERS AVE., YONKERS, NY WHEREUPON A SENSOR WOULD BE REPLACED & THAT THIS ACTION TAKES 4 HOURS. I HAVE BEEN TO THE SERVICE STATION 3 TIMES - JULY 6, JULY 13 & JULY 25 & STILL THE PROBLEM IS UNRESOLVED. I AM BEGINNING TO WORRY THAT THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THIS FEATURE. 1ST HONDA SERVICE ORDERED THE WRONG PART, THEN THE "CORRECT" PART CAME LATE AND YESTERDAY, MY VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR SHOP FROM 7AM UNTIL 2PM AND STILL IT'S NOT RESOLVED. THIS DESERVES AN INVESTIGATION AS I FEAR MY TIRE/S BEING UNDERINFLATED OR WORSE OVERINFLATED AND NOT KNOWING SO. I FEEL THAT I WAS NOT TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE AND AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT THE LOW MILEAGE PERHAPS ATTRIBUTED TO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

HIGH PITCHED SOUND NOTICED WHILE DRIVING HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE SHORTLY AFTER CAR WAS PURCHASED (WE ARE 1ST OWNERS). DISCOVERED STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING. REPAIR SHOP RECOMMENDS NEW RACK AND PINION. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT SINCE CAR HAS SUCH LOW MILEAGE (ONLY 36,000 NOW AND WE'VE BEEN HAVING TO STEERING FLUID OFF FOR SOME TIME). VERY DISAPPOINTING.
