Since I purchased vehicle in 2008 the rubber seals around the front and rear windows leaked water at the car wash 3 days after purchase. They repaired/resealed! Less than a year later the rubber seals at bottom of driver door window started leaking water into the inside of door. Car was parked in garage, rubber not dried out or loose. Eventually all four doors started leaking and rubber started peeling up and flapping, flying off when driving! Dealership stated not a warranty issue or recall item when reported in first 3 months. Noticed online other drivers/owners of same vehicle complaining of identical problem. Vendors want approx.$500 to replace rubber window seals on all 4 doors! Its 2026 and front windshield 'rains' inside driver side at car wash and days it rains. Believe car was lemon when purchased. Dealership in Henet Ca, only sold to people with bankruptcies and bad credit!! Also, front driver seat adjusted bottom seat to raise or lower. Stopped working after first year, only weighed 140lbs. Shouldn't have been a weight issue. Also told not warranty or recall. Key fobs NEVER worked, replaced first one till I was told that year car had battery issues in FOB and no longer covered. Would cost 100-150 for new batteries or FOB. After market batteries never worked so just use key to open door.

On Saturday September 16, 2023, I opened the trunk of my car and when I reached in to retrieve my backpack, I suddenly heard a very loud bang and a long bar swung towards me and struck me across my face and luckily my eyeglasses kept the broken metal bar from striking my eyes. My eyeglasses remained in one piece but received a long scratch on it’s surface. At the same time the broken metal bar hit me across the face, the trunk fell on the top and back of my head causing bruising. The incident was disturbing and scary. It could have been worse. It is indeed a safety hazard that must be reported. There could be a defect in the part, improper installation or both. This is the second time this happened (2016 first incident not reported). I had Ocean Honda install a new set of the torsion bars on Tuesday September 19, 2023. Praying they will not suddenly snap again and hurt someone seriously.

Hi. So last year 2022 I was driving and the hood came up causing me to stop in the middle of the road. Honestly I cannot remember if I hit something but then the car caught on fire soon after! I received a recall notice maybe a year later and when I called in about it to the Honda dealership, No one knows what I was referring to and dismissed me. My safely was at risk because myself and my 1 year old son was in the car! The car completely locked and we almost didn’t make it out. No my car was not inspected I did not have full coverage at the time. I had to sell it to a junk yard and been without a car since. If when I called originally this would have been taken care of!!

Honda issued a recall on our Accord as described above. However, this recall does NOT apply to our vehicle whatsoever and is an error on Honda's part. We purchased our car new - and have never had a nose mask installed on our car. We did not receive any sort of recall information from Honda until we went to sell our Accord (on 9/3/22) and learned of the recall. We have since been experiencing a massive run-around. We visited the dealer we purchased our car at - Muller Honda of Skokie, IL on 9/14/22 - and the earliest appointment they had for us to visit to clear the recall. Muller confirmed the recall did not apply to our Accord, and sent faxes and pictures to Honda, USA. We also opened a case with Honda, USA. Muller Honda noted that since there is no repair work to complete to clear the recall, they cannot do more than they have. Honda USA has insisted the dealer should clear the recall. In the meantime, we cannot sell our Accord as a trade-in (to the dealer we are trying to purchase a new car from) because of the hassle. We have wasted a considerable amount of time on this ridiculous attempt to get Honda to address and remediate its own errors. Please help us clear up this mess!

My Honda vehicle’s engine grinds or rattles at cold start-up. Honda dealerships or manufacturer (Honda) are not cooperating and not able to fix it with the reason that my vehicle is out of warranty. I have complained several times since several years however Honda / Honda dealerships have been under playing and rejecting my complaints. This is clearly a manufacturing defect.

Hello, I purchased my 09 Accord used in good condition from a private party and would like to utilize carsharing applications to help cover the costs of owning my vehicle. Unfortunately, there is a recall on my type of vehicle affecting those cars with a "front bumper nose mask" which my vehicle does not even have. Since this recall is outstanding even though my car does not have an issue I cannot use my car for car rental/ride sharing applications. I would appreciate if this could get resolved in a timely fashion.

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.

COMPLAINT INVOLVING WEBASTO AFTERMARKET RETRACTABLE SUNROOF. WHILE DRIVING INTO WORK ON 7 SEPTEMBER, 2017, ON A HIGHWAT, I CLOSED THE SUNROOF AND WHEN IT CLOSED I HEARD A LOUD POP AND LOOKED UP AND THE SUNROOF WAS GONE. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND OBSERVED A BLACK CAR TWO CARS BEHIND ME MAKING EMERGENCY MANEUVERING INTO OTHER LANE APPEARING TO AVOID SOMETHING. I PULLED OVER AND OBSERVED NO OTHER VEHICLES DOING THE SAME MOVEMENTS AND NO ACCIDENTS. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE STATE POLICE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2009, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE SUNROOF INSTALLED PRIOR TO PURCHASING AND PICKUP OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND THE SUNROOF WAS COVERED IN THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REFERRED ME TO THEIR INSTALLER WHO INFORMED ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME MODELS. WHEN I CONTACTED THE COMPANY I LEARNED THAT MY SUNROOF WAS PART OF A RECALL ISSUED IN 2010, AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS. THAT SUNROOF COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE THAT DAY. THE NEXT EVENING WHEN DRIVING THE RETRACTABLE INTERIOR COVER BLEW OUT AND THE METAL SUNROOF FRAME CAME APART AND METAL RODS CAME FLYING INTO THE DRIVER COMPARTMENTS DANGLING AND SWINGING. WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO THE COMPANY, THE REPRESENTATIVE APOLOGIZED AND STATED THAT HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME HOW TO SECURE THE INTERIOR COVER. THAT THIS RECALL IS 7 YEARS OLD AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED IN INEXCUSABLE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICES AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS, AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED ON THIS RECALL.
