2009 Honda Accord Complaint Log

CAR HAS BEEN WITH MECHANICS FOR DAY 3 NOW THEY THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS AT 1ST TIMING BELT WENT TO REPLACED IT FOUND OUT IT WAS NOT THAT ISSUE THOUGHT IT WAS A SENSOR WAS NOT THAT AS WELL NOW TOLD BY HONDA THAT IT IS CAMSHAFT, I'VE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY VEHICLES AND OIL CHANGES ONLY A 150000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM DEAN HONDA IN 2017

OIL IS ENTERING COMBUSTION CHAMBER CAUSE BLUE SMOKE TO COME OUT OF EXHAUST AT TIMES. SEEING OIL CONSUMPTION UNDER 1000 MILES OF TRAVEL AT LEAST 1QT OF OIL CONSUMPTION.

MY CAR HAS A HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, WHICH IS CAUSING RATTLING SOUND TO COME FROM THE ENGINE. I'M AFRAID THAT MY ENGINE MIGHT CATCH FILE BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL AS WELL. I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM TO THE HONDA DEALER FROM PAST TWO YEARS, BUT THEY NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL AND WERE ASKING ME MONEY IN THE RANGE OF $3000-$4000 TO FIX IT. NOW WHEN I KNOW THAT IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL, THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I'VE TO PAY EVERYTHING FROM MY POCKET. HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2016/SB-10083874-2280.PDF I FEEL THE HONDA DEALERS ARE CHEATING THEIR CUSTOMERS, NOT INFORMING THEM ABOUT THE POTENTIAL ISSUES, AND TRYING TO GOUGE THEM THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR FIXING THEIR CARS. WE, AS A CONSUMER, DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE VEHICLE INTERNAL WORKINGS, SO HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO AGREE TO WHATEVER THEY ASK TO CHARGE.

RECENLY PURCHACED THIS 09ACCORD EX COUPE AUTOMATIC 5SPEED 4 CYLINDER FROM A USED DEALERSHIP WITH NO WARRENTY. 3 OR 4 DAYS LATERI NOTICED A BRIEF BUT LOUD RATTLE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ONLY ON COLD START UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON THIS ISSUE AND I DEFINETLY CAN BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFTY ISSUE IF THE ENGINE BECOMES DAMAGED WHILD DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE WITH THE VTC ACTUATOR. I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS THERE IS A TSB ON THE ISSUE THAT CLEARLY STARES IT AS A DEFECT.

MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A FENDER BENDER AS WELL AS AN ACCIDENT AND BOTH TIMES THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR HAD A RECALL IN 2016. THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE RECALL AND THE REPAIRS WAS SUPPOSEDLY MADE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED IN THE ACCIDENT. AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING INJURY'S TO MY WIFE AS WELL AS HER BROTHER IN THE CAR. THE INSURANCE DID NOT WANT TO HELP WITH THE MEDICAL BILLS, CAUSING US TO BE IN DEPT AS WELL AS MY WIFE IS STILL AFFECTED BY THIS. IM *TR

AIR BAG WAS REPLACED

DRIVER'S AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER SAID THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER/RECEIVER THAT CAUSES THE AIRBAG TO OPERATE. THEY CHARGED $700 TO REPAIR. MY QUESTION IS WHETHER THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR.

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAGS ETC

HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR INSPECTIONS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHICH CAME BACK WITH NO ISSUES. REPORTED TO OWNER/CEO OF COMPANY AS WELL. BRAKES DO NOT WORK WHEN USED IN AN EMERGENCY. THE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WILL NOT STOP EVEN AFTER PUNCHING THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES. WORSE WHEN ON A DECLINE OF A HILL. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REDONE AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED AND ENDED UP IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAULTINESS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I'M GLAD IT WASN'T WORSE THAN IT WAS BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF CLOSE CALLS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SEAT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT AND THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CALLED, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,000.

THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR IS GOING OUT, BUT MAIN COST IS SOFTWARE UP DATE AFTER INSTALLING NEW SENSOR. I FEEL IF YOU GET THE SELL OF SENSOR AND INSTALLATION THE SOFTWARE UPDATE SHOULD BE FREE. BEEN MESSING UP FOR 2 YRS OF THE 3 YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT

SRS LIGHT WENT ON AND STAYED ON. HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE SRS COMPUTER SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDS REPLACING. STTED THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY UNLESS IT'S REPLACED.

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE NOVEMBER AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM

THE CUSTOMER TRY TO PUT THE SEATBELT BUT IT DIDN'T WORK FOR JUST ONE TIME

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM

THE VEHICLE STATIONARY WHEN STARTING MAKES LOUD NOISE CAUSED BY THE VTC ACTUATOR IS THE DEFAULTED PART WHICH CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO MALFUNCTION.

COULDN'T GET TRACTION ON LIGHT SNOW-COVERED ROAD. VSA LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND MY CAR WASN'T RESPONDING TO BRAKE TO VSA. I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN (TO NO AVAIL). NOW MY CAR IS OUT OF CONTROL AND PROCEEDING DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE TO A STOP SIGN...PICKING UP SPEED ALONG THE WAY.MY BRAKES ARE "TO THE FLOOR" THE WHOLE TIME AS I SLIDE THROUGH INTERSECTION I HAVE MY STEERING WHEEL TURNED RIGHT. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE ENDED UP CRASHING INTO A STREET SIGN & TELEPHONE POLE. I WAS TOLD BY POLICE THAT A CAR THAT SWERVED TO AVOID ME MADE CONTACT WITH MY REAR FENDER AND MY CAR THEN SPUN RIGHT INTO THE POLES. ALSO, NEITHER FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT

MY CAR'S SUNROOF EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS DRIVING ON AN UNCOVERED STRETCH OF HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60-65 MPH, AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD BANG ON MY ROOF, FOLLOWED BY WHAT SOUNDED LIKE GRAVEL BEING DUMPED ON MY CAR. A FEW MINUTES LATER, I OPENED THE SUNROOF SHADE AND SAW THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO CARS OR TRUCKS IN FRONT OR ALONG SIDE MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED - SO IT WASN'T DUE TO GRAVEL SPUN UP BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WASN'T ANYWHERE NEAR AN OVERPASS - SO THERE'S NO CHANCE SOMETHING WAS DUMPED ON MY CAR. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 74 DEGREES - SO NO EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE SUN.

OCEAN HONDA IS WHERE I TAKE MY HONDA FOR SERVICE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD BEEN COMING ON OVER A YEAR OR SO. I WAS TOLD MY CAR IS USING TOO MUCH OIL AND NEEDED PISTONS, RINGS AND VALVE REPAIR. THAT COST ALMOST $6000.00. FROM RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE GENERATION. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD BY OTHER MECHANICS THAT I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A NEW ENGINE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS EXPENSIVE. I FOUND INFORMATION THAT THE NHTSA ISSUED A NOTICE TO ADD YEARS TO THE WARRANTY WHICH WOULD COVER MY SITUATION. AS OF THE REPAIR I HAD OWNED THE CAR FOR 6 YEARS. I NEED THE INFORMATION ON TSB A12-087.

THE SRS UNIT HAS FAILED WHICH IS AN ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM IN SOME 2008-2010 HONDA ACCORDS BUT MY PARTICULAR MODEL IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. CONSIDERING THE FAILURE AND THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT FROM HONDA ON THIS EXACT ISSUE, MY CAR SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL FREE OF CHARGE. I CAME TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT BEING ON.

TAKATA RECALL HONDA DEALER REFUSE TO SPEAK WITH ME ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT OF A RECALL. THE FARTHEST I HAVE EVER GOTTEN WAS THROUGH THEIR RECEPTIONIST AND THEN NO NEWS. I HAVE TRIED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND MULTIPLE TIMES TO CONTACT THEM

MY ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, EVEN THO I CHANGED MY OIL ON TIME EVERY TIME. THERE WAS A LAWSUIT IN 2013, BUT HONDA SAID I DIDN'T QUALIFY TO GET MY ENGINE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS VIN # SPECIFIC AND STATE SPECIFIC. WHICH IS CRAP. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA. QUALITY HAS WENT WAY DOWN..
