2013 Honda Accord problems

“Honda of Nanuet declined to fix the recall issue on my 2013 honda accord sport. a recall in regards to "A corroded drive shaft could break under high torque applications" They did not notify me of the issue until after the expiration date of the time standard for the recall notice. I took the vehicle into the service center to fix the recall. They stated they would not work on the vehicle unless they were authorized to fix a different part that they claimed needed to be removed to access the drive shaft. That fixing the different part would cost approximately $1500 and that they would not address the recall issue unless i paid the estimated amount on the different part. I have since contacted Honda My Garage to get the issue resolved as i received another notice to recall the part. they have not responded to me in regards to fixing the recall. Instead I have only received a letter from honda of nanuet to buy my car. THey are avoiding fixing the recall.”

“While driving, the front drive shaft (axle) suddenly snapped completely in half without warning. This caused an immediate loss of power to the wheels, creating a hazardous driving situation and leaving the vehicle stranded. Upon inspection, the drive shaft broke directly beneath the rubber dynamic damper (vibration damper). The area under the rubber ring shows heavy rust and corrosion. Furthermore, the unbroken drive shaft on the opposite side of the vehicle shows a heavily dry-rotted rubber dynamic damper ring, raising immediate concerns that it will fail next. This failure matches the physical description of the defect found in NHTSA Recall Number 20V-769 (Manufacturer Recall Code OM2, corresponding to Honda Service Bulletin 20-125). Under that safety campaign, Honda states that moisture and road salt seep under the dynamic damper, causing hidden corrosion that ultimately breaks the axle. However, Honda has restricted the scope of Recall 20V-769 exclusively to vehicles equipped with Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT). Because my vehicle has a 6-speed manual transmission, my VIN is excluded from coverage. Despite having a different transmission, my…”

“I have received a warning on my dashboard "FCW SYSTEM FAILED" at 106,000 miles. It is available for inspection upon request. I am now at 108,000 miles and I am fearful of my safety when driving on the highway and especially during bad, rainy, snowy weather. This puts me and others on the road at high risk. This problem has been confirmed by Hall Honda in Virginia Beach VA. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance reps. Yes, a warning did appear on my dash after the battery and starter were replaced on this vehicle.”
