i bought a new 2010 honda accord at marin honda in larkspur, california on sunday 1/31/2010. but i did not pick up the car until monday 2/1/2010 because the car was "not prepared" on sunday evening. i drove the car home from the dealer in the afternoon on 2/1/2010 and i began to notice a rattling noise coming from the hood on driver side. i brought the car back to the dealer on tuesday morning where a mechanic suggested that the noise maybe coming from the defective housing unit of the windshield wiper. the mechanic ordered the new part but it will not be available until next week. the noise has been persistent and getting stronger/louder when i applied the brake and when the car is idling at intersection. the steering wheel also appeared to shake whenever this loud rattling noise came out. i am afraid that this problem maybe more that just a defective housing part of the windshield wiper, hence i am reporting this to assure that electrical problem or brakes problem are not the issue for honda (in lieu of what is going on with toyota cars at the present time). please let me know if you had similar complaints for the new model honda accord. i had been a loyal customer of honda but this incidence is making me very concerned about their quality assurance service before releasing new cars into the market. i thank you for the important work that you do to keep consumers like me safe on the road.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

2009 honda accord was found by dealer to have "no rear brakes" today during a service visit. per the dealer, honda changed the brake proportioning for these vehicles so that on the highway, all of the braking is done by the rear wheels. as a result, the rear pads are worn to “nothing” per the dealer while the front pads are “hardly worn at all.”

honda accord 2010 ex 4-cyl manual transmission - vehicle id is [xxx] i went to put the car in neutral as i approached a stop light. it had felt 'odd' leaving the previous light. the clutch pedal went to the floor and stayed there. the gearbox locked up so i couldn't shift into any gear. the motor was still running normally. a motorcycle cop came to help me - it was in heavy traffic - and he couldn't get the clutch or gears to work. i turned it off. after about five minutes, i looked at the clutch pedal. a gentle tug and it came back up. i restarted the car and was able to drive it home, a couple more miles, without further problems. the car had 900 miles on the odometer. i consulted an online honda technician and received this response: "the problem is the clutch master cylinder . there are issues with the rods getting stuck . the dealer will need to replace the clutch master and bleed the system to fix this issue. have done a few so far . no bulletin or recall yet." i took the car to the dealer (motorcars honda cleveland). they confirmed this diagnosis and replaced the clutch master cylinder. the service rep also said their cleveland heights service department had also seen the same problem a number of times. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

POWER TRAIN

the car had only 4100 mi. and consumed a complete fill dry. took it to local dealership and was told that this is normal at times for the car to do this one time. car was also shutting the cylinders down at app.30 mph not the 55 mph it was designed to do to save mileage. it was returned to us and 3 days later started doing it again. returned to dealer and was told it had the wrong plugs in it.changed the plugs and returned to us. drove the car appp. 90 mi. and started it again. the service mgr. told us that this was happening to more than my accord. this time they called and told me that the rocker arm pin in cyl. no.2 was undersized and was sticking closed,causing a miss. but not sure if this would fix the problem or not. all the while they were communicating with engr. from honda. they have my car for a week and it is a lease.they are talking of changing a head or maybe even the block. purchasing a 30000.00 auto and having only 4900 mi. is not acceptable. i would like another honda in it's place and i would be completely satisfied. had the rocker arm stuck open the piston would have exploded and could cause great bodily harm to myself and anyone around me at the time. this is a dangerous situation occurring here and could really involve a lot of innocent people if it continues.

purchased 2010 honda accord march 29, 2010. within 2 weeks a knocking or popping noise started from the front end. progressively got worse. so loud that i thought the tires were about to fall off. after 5 trips to the dealership i was finally told that it was the ball joints, both left and right on the front end. three of the 5 trips was told that the noise could not be re-emulated, and nothing was done. the second trip in, the noise was heard by a technician and was told that "a few bolts were loose on the sway bar". the noise came back within 2 days. finally came in and requested a manager to drive the car to hear the noise, that is when ball joints were ordered and replaced the following week. through all of this time i was told the vehicle was completely safe and nothing was wrong with it!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

i have had a hard time seeing some of the newer model cars at dusk dawn and night. it seems that some of the newer models have daytime running lamps that consist only of head lights which the drivers mistaken for have all their lights on. so a car may have headlamps but no tail lamps. i do approve of drl's ( i turn on my lights at all times) but they should include tail lamps. i believe this new setup is more dangerous than helpful.

SEATS

the front seats are the most uncomfortable seats i've ever experienced. the front of the seat doesn't adjust downward enough and hits the wrong pressure points under the thigh, thus cutting off circulation in the leg. the seat is also too long and hits at the back of the knee right where your leg bends. the seat belt buckle hits and presses against the leg right where the leg/hip bends. this too cuts off circulation to the leg and makes it very difficult to walk when you get out of the car. i've been experiencing both leg, hip and back pain shortly after getting my new car. this is a major problem since i'm in the car for a very long time period on a daily basis.

the high beam drls on the honda accord are masking the inboard turn signals. while approaching a left turn i was unable to discern whether an oncoming accord had its turn signals activated until very late in making my maneuver. because nhtsa has determined that drls are of no benefit to overall safety, it should require honda to deactivate the high beam drls on all accord models of the current generation.

SEAT BELTS:INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT

the car is brand new. i test drove the vehicle but didn't notice how uncomfortable the seat was in such a short drive. now that i drive the car everyday to work, about a 45 minute commute each way, its obvious there must be some kind of design flaw. i've adjusted the seat every which way possible with same result, total discomfort. i hardly ever have back problems, now my back hurts everyday. my claim was substantiated when i decided to google the problem and found the same complaint by many other honda owners from 2008 thru 2010. i just cannot believe that a company with such a great reputation for solid cars can let this go on and not acknowledge there's a problem.

Reported in: MOUNT LAUREL NJ || Crash: N || VIN #: 1HGCP2F85AA

SEATS

i have a 2010 honda accord exl. the driver seat is very uncomfortable and could possibly cause accidents by making the driver squirm around in the seat on long drives. honda does not have a inflatable lumbar support, but a cheap piece of plastic that digs into the drivers back. this causes the driver to have to constantly squirm around on long drives to try and get comfortable enough to get there. the lumbar support feels like a brick in the drivers back making it hard to focus on driving. i've heard of owners removing from the driver seat, the back of the seat and then removing the cheap piece of lumbar support plastic to get the brick feeling out of there back. i do not suggest this but want to make the nhtsa aware this is happening. beside the seat problem the accord is a good car, but i'd like to see a nhtsa investigator rent a 2010 honda accord exl and drive it for a few days, then take it on a long trip. see how your back feels then.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR

my 2010 honda accord coupe was making a metallic "squealing" sound when i applied the brakes (and, eventually, after applying the brakes). i took my car to the dealer (union park honda in wilmington de) to have the brakes looked at and was told that they needed to be replaced "with an updated factory part". afterward i saw the numerous complaints about 2008-2009 honda accord rear brake wear after as little as 15,000 miles. my 2010 accord (which was not one of the 2010's included in the class action lawsuit) had almost identical issues. also of note is that the rear brakes were at 1mm of material left (out of 10mm), while the front brakes were at 7mm (out of 10mm), so this would not indicate wear due to driving conditions.

SEATS

front driver and passenger seats are extremely hard and uncomfortable. there's a hard piece of plastic that runs the width of the seat that digs into thighs/buttocks and causes chronic hip/back pain and sometimes numbness. the seats are also too long which causes the front of the seat to dig into the back of knees. the headrest pushes head/neck forward in an awkward position which also causes neck and shoulder pain. there are no adjustments that can be made to remedy these pains and discomfort. just driving or riding for short distances cause this discomfort/pain. now, after 6 months of driving the car, the back/hip pain for me and my 16 yr old son is deemed chronic and there is really no relief other than not drive or ride in the car and we don't have another car. honda should come up with a solution and at least offer an affordable fix. numbness and pain of this sort for drivers is dangerous.

STEERING

unable to get the lock mechanism to engage to start the car. my mother has been left stranded five times due to lock mechanism seizing and her being unable to start car. she has called the honda service dept. twice and they recommended pulling hard on steering wheel (toward chest of driver). they obviously knew to recommend this remedy. but my mother is 90 pounds and frail. it took strong males (strangers in a parking lot,most recently while it was snowing) to pull the steering wheel out to affect the remedy so the car would start. honda has not offered to correct the problem and tries to blame her for "leaning on the steering wheel" as she exits the vehicle. 90 pounds??? my extended family has owned 20+ honda's in the past - including me owning a 2009 ex-l. we are all now disappointed. not to mention that my mother was made to wait in honda service for her initial 3000 mile oil change for 2 hours. they also charge her for rotating the tires at 3000 miles...talking about taking advantage of an elderly widow..... she went later to have the air checked in her tires because of the low pressure warning (remember, she is recently widowed with no knowledge of cars and her children are hours away) and they mad her wait 1 hour for this. shame on honda. her car is up for sale and so is mine. the extended family will no longer buy honda's. her local dealer where she bought the car is asheboro honda, asheboro, north carolina. they have thus far been indifferent to her situation.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

the daylight running lights on the 2008-2010 honda accord are very bright and the signal lights are relatively dim and directly inboard of the running lights making the signal lights extremely difficult to see. the daylight running lights mask the signal light. as the daylight running lights are always on, the danger is any time during daylight hours. no fix has been offered by honda. permanently disabling the daylight running lights on this automobile is the only sensible answer to this problem.

i purchased a new 2010 honda accord lx-p in late november of 2009. on september 10, 2010, i scheduled an appointment to bring the vehicle in because there was a severe whining noise at idle that was most prominent under speeds of 20 mph. the whining noise started about four weeks earlier and seemed to dissipate once the transmission shifted into second gear. the noise sounds exactly like a power steering pump low on fluid or just before the pump starts to go out. i took the vehicle directly to the dealership since it was under warranty and left it there for several hours. upon returning to the garage, the technician informed me the noise is a common occurrence with all accords with the 4-cylinder engine and automatic transmission. he stated he even removed the power steering belt to rule-out the power steering pump. i then asked him if this was the case, where exactly was the whining coming from? he informed me that he just didn't know. please help! to overcome the severe whining, i have to turn the radio up or turn on the ac/heater fan to drown out the noise.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

in recent, companies have changed how they make the insulation for cables attached to a car's engine. the soy products now used to create the wire insulation concerns me a great deal. this weekend my wife was driving our car, a 2010 honda accord, and while on the road the car started to shake and stutter violently, and would not accelerate. this could have ultimately caused an accident and harmed her and other people. after having our car towed to the dealership, there was evidence that a rodent of some type had chewed on the cables. not only did this make the car unstable to drive on the road, but there was a threat of electrical fire because the wire's insulation was chewed away by a small animal that was attracted to the soy-based food source in the wires. adding the soy to the wires can cause problems including unreliability, fires, and possibly even death. i don¿t take this lightly. automobile makers are using the soy material because it is less expensive for them. overall, it costs consumers/insurance companies much more when repairs are needed because of this problem. not only is this dishonest of auto makers, but these types of shortcuts are illegal as well. please require manufacturers to make wiring insulation out of non-soy-based products to ensure the safety of my family along with yours. thanks.

driver¿s seat lumbar design causing driving safety issues note: it seems that this problem is more prominent for male drivers versus female drivers. this problem has become so bad that i refuse to drive it past 1 hour on the road; it just doesn't happen. why is this so? because the driver's lumbar is improperly designed. ...my statement comes from experience of personally having several vehicles over the past 30 years in addition to driving rental vehicles on a very frequent basis (i typically place more miles on rental vehicles than my personal vehicles) ¿ and i really do enjoy driving vehicles on long trips when driving the vehicle i literally get a ¿pain in the back¿. i have made multiple seat adjustments with no success. the lumbar area becomes very painful where it forces me to get off the road to rest the back. if i do not do this i become irritable (doesn't go over well with my spouse or the family) and starts impacting my driving ability. i have taken measures to wear a flexible back brace that provide additional comfort, but that only lasted another hour prior to the ¿pain in the back¿ returning. this is unacceptable (& i have never done this with any other vehicle i have owned or rented) i have communicated to my wife (it is her vehicle) that i will no longer drive the accord ex-l except on short trips (less than 60 minutes). the physical pain (legs, back, hip, etc.) the seat causes is unacceptable and needs resolved prior to my giving it another chance. i have done significant research since the purchase looking for fixes, etc. including inquiring with dealership and speaking with honda customer service with no assistance. the last result from the dealership was that the engineer did also experience the problem, but could not proceed further as honda did not have a ¿tech note¿ on the problem. i spoke with honda customer service (the 800 #) again on friday about this with little success. any help would be appreciated as this is unacceptable.

my 2010 honda accord experienced premature rear brake wear and i paid to have the brakes replaced at only 22,837 miles. there was a class action lawsuit and settlement for the 2008 and 2009 model years (and only a handful of vins for the 2010 model year which does not include mine). i thought that honda had fixed the problem and that improved pads were being installed but apparently not since the 2010 model year still seems to be experiencing this problem. *kb

SERVICE BRAKES

this complaint is in regard to the rear brake system on my 2010 honda accord. through my own research, honda has not issued a recall due to premature wear of the rear brakes in my model year accord, however i learned that they recently settled a class action lawsuit in response to owner complaints about this problem. my vehicle had 22,000 miles on it as of april 24, 2012, the date of my last service. i was informed by a dealership technician that my rear brakes needed to be replaced and that they had only 2 mm of brake pad left on them. i was told that my front pads had 7 mm of brake pad remaining on them. i asked the technician if there was a reason for why rear brake pads would wear out so quickly on a vehicle to which i was given the answer that most automobiles nowadays have the rear brake system providing more of the stopping power than in previous years. i need not go into my own knowledge, nor my personal opinion in this matter. however, the reason i am lodging this complaint does have to do with my knowledge of how braking systems work in automobiles. hence, i thought it prudent to apprise your institution to this issue so as to point out what may be a material defect in my automobile, as well as many others as i would presume. for the record, i bought my car brand new, have had it regularly serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines, and the car has not been subjected to any out of the ordinary driving conditions. *js

SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING

this complaint regards my 2010 honda accord. at around 21,500 miles, i noticed my vehicle began making a humming sound toward the front of the vehicle. this sound would increase as the car accelerated and decrease as the car decelerated. when i brought my accord in for routine maintenance on 04/24/12, i informed the desk agent at the honda dealership of the noise. it was determined that the noise stemmed from a wheel bearing that had gone bad on the right front passenger side of my vehicle. although this malfunction was still covered under the factory warranty that came with the vehicle, i felt the need to report this problem as this was a premature malfunction of a very crucial part to my vehicle. it seems as if the damage occurred while my vehicle was shut off, and i cut the wheel to get a better vantage point under my wheel well. i make this assumption since i hadn't heard the noise before doing this, and then the first time i drove my car after doing this, which happened to be an hour later, the noise became apparent. many other persons that own a similar vehicle as mine may not think much of this noise if their vehicle(s) have similar mileage such as mine since wheel bearings typically last much longer than this. this could be a catastrophic mistake if this assumption is made, so i figured it prudent to advise on my experience in case this were to happen to another vehicle owner or lessee in a similar situation to mine. for the record, my car has been regularly maintained my local honda dealership and has not been driven in adverse conditions. *js

bought my 2010 honda accord v6 exl new. at 45,000 miles the car experienced extreme shaking of the steering wheel and shuddering of the whole car when the brakes were applied at a speed of 70mph while on a trip. this was occurring whether the brakes were very lightly applied or more firmly applied. a repair shop said the rear rotors and rear brakes were needing to be replaced. the repair was performed and it reduced the symptoms by about 90%. now last week on another trip, the car began experiencing the exact same symptoms as it had prior to the 45000 mile repair. i have an appointment at the originating honda dealer on july 5th to address the problem. the over the phone speculation by the service advisor is "it's the front rotors". these are expensive repairs but more important, the condition is dangerous when it happens. few things are more important than the brakes!

SERVICE BRAKES

at around 25k miles, my honda accord began making loud screeching noises. after taking it to the repair shop, they said that my rear brakes were gone and needed to be replaced. this is completely ridiculous for the mileage i have driven. i did some research and found that many other people are having the same exact issue with premature wear in their rear brakes. in fact, there was a honda settlement for '08-'09 accords (and a few '10s) where they gave partial reimbursements for brake replacements. however, honda refuses to admit any wrongdoing and claims that this issue has been resolved in all vehicles thereafter. this is obviously a lie and they need to take responsibility for this continuing design failure. they need to pay for brake pad replacements and/or truly offer a fix for what causes the premature wear.

SUSPENSION

the front suspension is making a knocking or thumping sound. the noise can be heard inside the car but not outside the car. the noise appears on hot summer days after the car has been driven for about 30 - 60 minutes. the noise is primarily heard at low speeds and when the brake is applied. sometimes it can be felt in the steering wheel or brake pedal. the car was taken to a kansas city area honda dealer but the noise was not duplicated because the car sat for a while and was not driven for 30 - 60 minutes. there are two similar complaints on safercar.gov. a texan recently reported the same problem on the hondaaccordforum.com. he reports the honda dealer service representative said they had three similar reports and the fix is to replace both front knuckles and bearings. he said the honda tech line is aware of this problem. he wonders why a service bulletin or recall has not been issued because it could lead to loss of steering. i believe this is a common problem and that something should be formally done to correct the problem. request nhtsa initiate a defects investigation.

Reported in: BALTIMORE MD || Crash: N || VIN #: 1HGCP2E32AA

SERVICE BRAKES

1. i believe the rear brake system on 2010 accord has a design flaw that causes the inboard rear brake pads to wear unevenly and to wear faster than the outboard pads. 2. the rear brake pads have had to be replaced twice since i purchased this vehicle new, on october 7, 2009: the first replacement was on september 2, 2011 at 36,365 miles and the second replacement was on march 12, 2013 at 67,699 miles. 3. march 12, 2013 pad replacement. the inboard pads on both sides are worn down far more than the outboard pads. also, the inboard pads are worn unevenly: one of the inboard pads has 2 mm left on the end near the break pad wear indicator & 3 mm left on the other end, the other inboard pad has 1 mm left on the end near the break pad wear indicator & 2 mm of pad left on the other end. the outboard pads are worn evenly and both have 5-6 mm of pad remaining. 4. this is just not right! both inboard and outboard should wear evenly and at the same rate and give more than 31,000 – 36,000 miles of useful service. 5. i believe there is a design flaw with the caliper and/or the caliper mechanism and the embedded parking brake mechanism. perhaps the design of the parking brake mechanism sometimes allows it to not release properly? my fear is that this design flaw will cause the rear brakes to malfunction while driving. 6. genuine honda parts were installed with both rear brake pad replacements and the front brake pad replacement. this vehicle has a normal mix of highway and town driving and very little stop-n-go city driving. neither my wife nor i “ride” the brakes. i believe “normal” wear, considering our driving habits, for the rear brakes is 50,000-60,000 miles.

i purchased my 2010 honda accord new 2/2010. i've completed all the necessary maintenance requirements & get my oil changed every 3 months despite what honda recommends. after hearing a mild grinding sound in the passenger rear tire, i thought it was some dirt/pebble. to my surprise, my mechanic told me my rear brakes were worn down & needed to be replaced at 35,000 mi. my mechanic said he had similar experiences w/ other honda customers. i replaced the rear brake pads w/ aftermarket brake pads because my mechanic believed they were superior to the honda brake pads. the front brakes have 80% life. i'¿¿ve never had to replace my brakes on my previous cars w/ mileage under 55,000. i started my research on the internet afterwards & found the 2010 honda class-action law suit regarding the rear brakes on specific yrs of the honda accord. honda was not required to issue a recall on the rear brakes. honda accord brake pads should last up to 70,000 miles. unfortunately the repair deadline & eligibility included brake pads replaced with honda brake pads & installation of those brake pads within 3 yrs of when the car was first sold. i'¿¿ve owned my accord for 4 yrs & i replaced the brake pads w/ aftermarket pads. since i have little recourse other than to write honda or go to the local service dept, i opted to share my experience w/ other consumers, rather then remain silent & frustrated. i doubt i'¿¿ll make any progress w/ contacting honda. i truly enjoy my honda accord & its performance. i am extremely disappointed w/ honda & their lack of commitment to customer satisfaction & resolving an inferior part issue that is clearly their responsibility as noted w/ all the online customer documentation. honda has forced their customers to pay for their mistake, refusing to take ownership of a costly, extremely, premature automotive repair.
