2012 HONDA ACCORD Engine Problems

1) When starting the car ( cold ) it makes a rattling sound that goes away after a few seconds and does not make this sound again until the car cools off 2) sometimes when driving the steering wheel shakes during acceleration

Car has frequent issues with starting and power loss inside and outside the car. This is my second time having a issue with my car not starting that did not have to do with the battery or alternator. I have 135xxx miles and keep up with maintenance so this is frustrating and expensive, happening months apart. The first time I had to have a new starter put in. The car also looses brightness on the dash board and in the headlights. The car stalls while starting since Ive had it.

2012 Accord exl - Engine Seizure! I had the air-bag recall done about 5 years ago. None of the air-bags deployed when the 2012 exl hit a telephone pole at 20 mph and broke the telephone pole in half. I finally found out about the class action lawsuit for the excessive oil consumption yesterday (1 Qt per 1,000 miles), 2 years after the engine seizure. I spoke with Honda headquarters (1919 Torrance Blvd., Torrance, ca 90501) today for an hour and a half. mostly on hold waiting for [XXX] to get her stupervisor [XXX] to come to the phone. Honda Seemed to think my 2012 v6 exl is not part of the lot of cars they were supposed to fix in the excessive oil consumption class action lawsuit. If you have any advice on how I could recover any funds spent on my engine repair or if there is any recourse I could take with the airbags not deploying when I had the recall done 5 years ago at my local Honda dealer. Thanks [XXX] PS.. Cherokee Auto in North Atlanta Georgia has the car for sale with the faulty airbags… CarMax repossessed it, sold it for more than I owed them, wrote off $6500 as bad debt, and still say I owe them 750 and staying on my credit report.

My 2012 Honda Accord is using oil in between my 3000 mile oil changes and it should not be using that much, in between changes I put 1.5 quarts of oil in the engine. I have read that some Hondas are having this problem I only have 125000 miles on my car and take really good care of my vehicles the inside still looks new. Also the air conditioner isn’t blowing cold enough air. I purchased it in May of 2014 I love my car, my mechanic says it’s the rings in the engine, I don’t drive car erratically. Hope you can help get my car fixed correctly, My Machanic noticed this the last couple of oil changes

Twice in the past couple of months my car has turned off while in drive and I lost power steering/braking. Both times were luckily in my apartment parking lot. They occured about 10-15 seconds after backing out and putting it in drive. The second time I almost slid into a car driving by since I wasn't able to brake.

I don't have a air bag due to someone stealing the whole air bag

I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE OUTLINED IN HONDA TSB 09-010, AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. NOTICE ISSUE AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE 95,000 MILES. WAS NOT ABLE TO HAVE DEALERSHIP CHECK THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING IDLE IN THE COLD FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. PLUS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT. NOW THAT EXTENDED WARRENTY HAS EXPIRED, WONDERING IF THIS A RECURRING ISSUE, WOULD A RECALL FORCE HONDA TO RESOLVE ISSUE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST LIGHTS CAME ON FIRST WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. THE OBD CODES WERE SCANNED AND THE CODE P0341 WAS READ. THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND THE P0341 CODES WERE CLEARED. THE SECOND TIME THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE OBD CODES WERE SCANNED AGAIN AND THE CODE P1009 WAS READ MEANING THE VTC ACTUATOR IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL 2008-2012 ACCORDS AND THERE HAS BEEN SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED REGARDING THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THE ISSUE. IF THERE IS NOT ALREADY, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED.

'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.

VTC ACUATOR IS FAULTY. FOR 2 YEARS NOW I'VE HAD A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I START THE CAR AND NO CAR SHOP HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG UP UNTIL YESTERDAY I FOUND OUT IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR THAT'S MAKING THE GRINDING SOUND AND IT'S BEEN DRAINING MY OIL. I CALL AMERICA HONDA TO SEE IF IT HAS A RECALL FOR THIS FAULTY PART AND ALL I AM TOLD IS THAT IF I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 3 YEARS OR UNDER 35 THOUSAND MILES THEN IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHICH THE CAR IS 2012. SO THE $700 THAT ALL SHOPS WANT TO FIX THIS PART IS BEING PUT ALL ON THE OWNER WITH NO WARNING THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS HAD A LAWSUIT BEFORE FOR THE EXCESSIVE OIL BEING LOST BUT NOT FOR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WHICH IS THE VTC ACTUATOR. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THE CARS THAT THEY HAVE SOLD WITH THE FAULTY VTC ACUATORS AND PAY FOR THIS MISTAKE THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS. WHEN MY ENGINE DIES IT WILL BE ON HONDA FOR NOT PROPERLY MAKING AND SELLING THESE FAULTY CARS.

ENGINE GRINDS DURING COLD STARTUP. ENGINE NOISE PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER DURING DRIVING AND IDLING. HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND FINALLY ISSUED A FIX BUT MY CAR IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD THAT THEY'VE ADVERTISED. I FEEL CHEATED BECAUSE HONDA SEEMS TO HAVE WAITED UNTIL ENOUGH CARS WERE OUT OF WARRANTY BEFORE ISSUING A COSTLY FIX THAT THEY'VE KNOWN OF FOR CLOSE TO A DECADE.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE FORWARD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I COULDN'T STOP IT - BUT A TREE ABOUT 20 FEET AWAY DID. EVEN IF I HAD FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE GONE THAT FAST THAT QUICKLY. I HAVE READ OF OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. HONDA JUST SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.

Mileage: 20,000

THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL ACTUATOR MAKES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED IN THE MORNING FOR THE FIRST TIME. THAT IS THE ONLY TIME IT RATTLES; THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. THE MECHANIC SAYS IF THE ACTUATOR FAILS THE CAR WILL STOP WHEREVER IT IS. IF I'M IN TRAFFIC IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT; I LIVE IN THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA WHERE TRAFFIC IS USUALLY HEAVY WHICH COMPOUNDS THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY HONDA IS REPAIRING THE VTC ACTUATOR ON SOME HONDA ACCORDS, BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE FIX LIST, SO HONDA RECOGNIZES IT IS AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM, AND IT IS WIDE SPREAD ENOUGH THAT THEY ARE REPAIRING SOME HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE RIGHT VIN. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH HONDA ACCORD OWNER COMPLAINTS SO I KNOW THE PROBLEM IS HIGH IN NUMBERS. THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL, STATE OF CALIFORNIA REFERRED ME TO YOUR AGENCY AND ENCOURAGED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM DUE TO AN ENGINEERING MISSTEP IN PLANNING AND PRODUCTION. FURTHER I THINK IT POSES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR HONDA ACCORD OWNERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC IF THE ENGINE MALFUNCTIONS AS THE AUTO TECHNICIANS SAY IT WILL. I THINK HONDA RECOGNIZES THE PROBLEM, BUT ARE ADDRESSING IT IN A PIECE-MEAL FASHION RATHER THAN ISSUING A RECALL. I HOPE YOU CAN GIVE ME AND OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS SOME RELIEF. THANK YOU

THE CAR MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN I START THE ENGINE. IT STOPS AFTER A FEW SECONDS.I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS GOOD.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE OUTLINED IN HONDA TSB 09-010, AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER THAT WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER CHANGED OUT THE VTC CONTROLLER. 63,000 MILES. NOT COVERED DUE TO OUT OF WARRANTY (5 YEARS/60,000 MILES). I ASKED IF THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR RECALL AND THE DEALER SAID NO. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE ACCORD AND CRV, YET HONDA FAILS TO ISSUE A RECALL.

Mileage: 63,000

THE VEHICLE CONSUME TOO MUCH OIL. OIL CHANGED ON 10/22/2016 AND TODAY 10/26/2016 THE VEHICLE SHOWS 10% ALREADY CONSUMED. THE VEHICLE IS FOR PERSONAL USE, IS DRIVEN ABOUT 6 MILES A DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE ENGINE REVVED AND RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY. THE ENGINE SEIZED FOR A MOMENT. AFTER APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON A SEPARATE OCCASSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,017.

VTC ACTUATOR GRINDING NOISE - IN THE SPRING OF 2015 I STARTED TO NOTICE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED IN THE MORNING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HONDA OF BOWIE (BOWIE, MARYLAND) ON MAY 23, 2015, AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE VTC ACTUATOR AND THAT HONDA HAD THE CONCERN UNDER INVESTIGATION, AND THAT HONDA WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THEY ALSO SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WITH ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY YEAR SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR IN, AND HONDA HAS NOT CONTACTED ME AND THE GRINDING NOISE NOW OCCURS NOT ONLY EVERY MORNING BUT NOW EVERY TIME THE CAR SITS FOR A COUPLE HOURS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE LONG TERM RELIABILITY OF THIS CAR AND ASSOCIATED FUTURE REPAIR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE.

MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 88,000 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS STARTING TO SCREAM. IS THERE A POSSIBLE RECALL ON THIS ITEM?

OPERATING ON THE HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE HAD A LOSS OF POWER. THIS LOSS OF POWER HAPPENED WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO FAST MOVING TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER AS THE MERGE BEGAN AND CAUSED VEHICLES OPERATING FROM BEHIND TO DRASTICALLY SLOW DOWN OR PULL INTO LEFT HAND LANE ALSO, WAS UNABLE TO SAFELY TRAVEL IN THE SLOW VEHICLE LANE BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER. EVIDENTLY, DEALERSHIP REPORTED SEVERAL CYLINDERS HAD OIL FOWLING ON THE SPARK PLUG. THE ENGINE WAS TAKEN APART AND CYLINDERS 1,3,5 RINGS WERE REPLACED.

Mileage: 60,000

ENGINE COOLANT, THERMOSTAT, RADIATOR AND ENGINE FAILED AT A MERE 37K MILES. HONDA REFUSED TO COVER. IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT STARTED SMOKING AND SHOOTING OUT FLUID FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HAD IT TOWED TO TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS ONLY TO NOT HAVE IT COVERED.

I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND BRAKING FOR A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES AS IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAD THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES, THIS ACCELERATION ATTEMPT WHEN I WAS BRAKING, DID NOT HAPPEN FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE. I DID NOT NOTICE THE ENGINE REVVING OR SEE THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATED. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET WHERE THE POSTED PEED LIMIT IS 25 MPH AND I WAS DRIVING WITHING THE SPEED LIMIT.

THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN MAKING A SLOW SPEED TURN, TYPICALLY ACCELERATING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR BEING DEPRESSED. THIS OCCURS IF I HAVE TO LIFT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR AND REAPPLY PRESSURE, DUE TO TRAFFIC SLOWING AROUND TURNS OR OTHER DRIVING CONDITIONS THAT NECESSITATE LIFTING OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN STEPPING ON IT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED WHEN GOING STRAIGHT, ONLY ON TURNS. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE THIS HAS PROVEN TO BE UNNERVING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AS THERE WERE VEHICLES APPROACHING AND THE BRIEF HESITATION CAUSED WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY TURN WITH NO CHANCE OF AN ONCOMING VEHICLE HITTING MY CAR TO A SITUATION WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MY VEHICLE BEING STRUCK. WHEN THE FIRST FEW HESITATIONS OCCURRED I WAS ADVISED THAT IT COULD BE CAUSED BY THE DRIVE BY WIRE TECHNOLOGY. AS I REVIEW SOME OF THE FORMS I SEE NUMEROUS INSTANCES WHERE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MOMENTARY NON RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THIS IS NOT JUST AN ACCORD ISSUE AS OTHER HONDA MODEL OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. AT FIRST THIS WAS AN ANNOYANCE, BUT AS STATED IT HAS BECOME MORE OF A SAFETY CONCERN.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE OUTLINED IN TSB 09-010, AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA TO SEE IF I CAN GET GOODWILL TO GET THIS REPAIRED. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD KNOWN ISSUE YET HONDA FAILS TO ISSUE A RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING ON A DOWN HILL ROAD ( ABOUT 0.3 MILES), AND MY TRANSMISSION WAS EXACTLY ON "D". BECAUSE IT WAS A DOWN HILL ROAD, I RELEASED MY GAS PEDAL. HOWEVER, SUDDENLY MY ENGINE MADE SOME ACCELERATION SOUND, AND ON THE METER, IT SHOWED THAT THE ENGINE SPEED WAS INCREASING FROM 2000RPM TO 3000RPM. (PLEASE NOTICE THAT I WAS NOT FEEDING THE GAS AT THAT MOMENT BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING ON A DOWN HILL ROAD ). I IMMEDIATELY STEP ON THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. I NEED TO DRIVE ON THIS ROAD ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS KIND OF INCIDENT HAD NEVER HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY.

Mileage: 43,000

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE - I HAD TO MOVE TRANSMISSION INTO "NEUTRAL" TO STOP VEHICLE. IT WAS INSPECTED THE FOLLOWING DAY BY A HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAR WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE IT WAS INSPECTED BY A 2ND DEALER, THE LATEST TIME WAS MARCH 7TH, 2015. *TR

OUR 2012 4 DOOR/V6 HONDA ACCORD WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. A MACK TRUCK HIT OUR CAR FROM BEHIND AT AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 50. WE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US AT AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 20. THE VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED TOTALED WITH AN ESTIMATE OF $22000-$25000 IN DAMAGES. THE FRONT AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. IN MY RESEARCH, 2012 HONDA'S HAD A RECALL REGARDING SIDE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING (HTTP://WWW.HONDA.COM/NEWSANDVIEWS/ARTICLE.ASPX?ID=6510-EN). I AM CONCERNED THERE MIGHT BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT AIRBAGS AS WELL. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO AMERICAN HONDA AS A SAFETY CONCERNS FOR OTHER HONDA OWNERS. HONDA DOCUMENTED ALL THE INFORMATION REGARDING THE CRASH THEN INSTRUCTED ME TO HAVE A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL INSPECT VEHICLE TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE AIRBAGS. IF SO, THEN THEY WANT US TO SUBMIT THE ISSUE IN WRITING. *TR

I WAS ON THE STREET, APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO SPEED UP. THE CAR DID NOT JUMP FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE, PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, AND SHUT THE ENGINE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS IN BACK OF ME. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. TWO DAYS AGO, ON MARCH 22, I WAS PARKING THE CAR ON THE STREET BETWEEN TWO OTHER CARS. I WAS IN EITHER D OR R, WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RACE AGAIN. I FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCEDURE AS BEFORE, AND SHUT THE ENGINE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER. IT WAS CLAIMED THEY DROVE THE CAR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AS NORMAL MAINTENANCE, I HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AT THE HONDA DEALER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

2012 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE MISFIRE THAT MAY DISABLE VEHICLE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. SUPPOSEDLY, A FEDERAL COURT AUTHORIZED A NOTICE REGARDING THE ENGINE MISFIRE PROBLEM. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, EVEN THOUGH HIS VIN WAS INCLUDED, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, UNTIL HE EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THAT WAS ON MONDAY 12/31/2012 WHILE TRAFFIC IN FREEWAY WAS VERY CLEAR. I SET CRUISE CONTROL AT 60 MILE/HOUR BUT SUDDENLY THE CAR KEPT INCREASING FASTER MORE THAN 75 MILES. I WAS PANIC AND KEPT STEPPING BRAKE TO REDUCE SPEED. ABOUT ONE MINUTE, THE CAR WAS REDUCED AT SPEED OF 50 MILES/HOUR. I TESTED IT WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL. I DROVE STEADILY ABOUT 60 MILE/HOUR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THAT THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATED BY ITSELF AGAIN AND HIT 75 MILES/HOUR. I KEPT STEPPING BRAKE STEADILY TO REDUCE SPEED UNTIL IT KICKING INTO 50 MILE/HR. THIS CAR IS DEFINITELY DEFECTIVE CAR WITH NUMEROUS ISSUES. ITS DEFROST SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL THAT ALMOST KILLED ME ON SEPTEMBER 2012. AGAIN I BROUGHT IT TO DEALER ON 01/02/2013 FOR ACCELERATED ISSUE AND DEFROST SYSTEM BUT HONDA POWER DEALER STILL COULD NOT DETECT IT. I FILED COMPLAINT WITH FTC AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY/PROSECUTE UNIT TO REQUEST TO INVESTIGATE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED TO HONDA MOTOR TO REQUEST IT TO TAKE THIS CAR BACK AND TERMINATE MY LEASE BUT HONDA MOTOR REFUSED MY REQUEST BECAUSE HONDA MOTOR USED TEST RESULTS FROM POWER HONDA DEALER AND HONDA WORLD DEALER AS HONDA MOTOR 'S DECISION FOUND THAT THERE WERE NOT ANY DEFECTIVE WITH DEFROST SYSTEM AND ACCELERATE FOUND. HONDA MOTOR MADE THIS CAR AND FAILED TO DETECT ITS PROBLEMS THAT IS NO MATTER IT CAN DETECT THIS CAR PROBLEM OR NOT THAT HONDA HAS TO HOLD ACCOUNTABILITY TO LEASE IT TO ME.
