“I am submitting this complaint regarding two separate front drive shaft/axle failures involving my 2010 Honda Accord while living and driving in [XXX], a state specifically identified by American Honda as a "salt belt" state in connection with its December 15, 2020 recalls involving corrosion-related front drive shaft breakage. The driver-side front drive shaft/axle on my 2010 Honda Accord snapped on XXX. The passenger-side front drive shaft/axle subsequently snapped on XXX. These were two separate failures involving both front sides of my vehicle and created a serious and potentially dangerous loss of vehicle operation. I am particularly concerned because my fiancé has experienced nearly identical failures involving his 2009 Honda Accord while we have been living and driving in the same [XXX] conditions. The front passenger-side drive shaft/axle on his vehicle snapped in XXX, and the driver-side front drive shaft/axle subsequently broke on XXX. Thus, between our two Honda Accords, both front drive shafts/axles on each vehicle have failed, resulting in four separate front drive shaft/axle failures across two vehicles in the same household. My concerns are…”
“I have been experiencing serious problems with my 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour. In 2013 there was a lawsuit against Honda due to an oil consumption and it stated ALL 2010 Honda Accord Crosstours and since a recall was never issued Honda denied fixing my car. After a lawsuit Honda should have been court appointed to fix everyone of the million cars with the defective engines!!!! The consumer shouldnt have to replace anything. My car completely shutdown) weeks ago while I was driving major safety issue don’t you think geez will it take people to die before they replace all these defective engines??? Oil is leaking into the combustion chamber and thats a defective problem per manufacturer!!!!!! You need to do an investigation on this because it’s the V-6 J35Z2 that they put in majority of there cars and it’s defective that should be against the law!!!!!!!!! I have had so many repairs on this Honda that shouldn’t have had to be done on a Honda. My last Honda had the engine before this defective one and it was great never had a problem. It’s nit the consumers fault so Honda should have to replace all those engines and it should be the lemon law if being sold after a…”
“Hope this email finds you well. I am writing to address a serious matter regarding my 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour, which has been facing recurrent misfires due to what appears to be a manufacturer-induced oil consumption defect in the engine design. Over the past 18 months, I have experienced extensive repairs on my Honda, surpassing any issues I have encountered with previous vehicles. Despite my diligent efforts In maintaining the car with regular tune-ups and oil changes , it is disheartening to witness fluids seeping into the engine, causing damage to multiple components. I have invested a significant amount of money into resolving these issues, expenses that should not have arisen with a Honda vehicle, given my positive experiences with the brand in the past. Upon contacting customer service and receiving a case number, I have found the assistance provided to be inadequate in addressing these issues severity of the situation. The recent revelation of a 2014 lawsuit further compounds my concerns, as it appears that Honda seeks to evade accountability for widespread engine malfunctions, leaving loyal customers like myself in a distressing predicament.…”
“The contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled and lost motive power. No warning light was illuminated. The contact veered over to the side of the roadway; however, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed a failure with the rubber coating which caused corrosion to the driveshaft. The contact was informed that the driveshaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 137,000. The VIN was not provided.”
“there is a rattling noise at start up. it started only when the car would sit over night. now its everytime you turn it off. so it seems to be getting worse. found out that its the vtc actuator. not sure if they have issued a recall for this yet.”
“The car for the longest time makes a screech at first start and sometimes at other times. Also the steering is off center and wheel turns left and right when brakes applied and when going over bumps. I had steering and shocks and struts replaced and adjusted as well as alignments done problems still there. I had those parts replaced due to originally having problems with handling. I took car back to adjust twice still have problem. The noise is still there at start too. Not safe.”
