Electrical system, Engine, Oct 11, 2024, fire
While backing out of my garage, my daughter observed flames coming out from the front center of the hood. I then put the car into park, and we got out of the car. I opened the hood, and observed smoke coming out of the alternator, and flames coming from the lower engine area. I then went into my garage to get my fire extinguisher, and put out the flames. I then phoned a towing service to transport my 2010 Honda Accord to the Mobil Station at 12 mile and Farmington Roads where I normally have my Honda serviced. I then telephoned my mechanic at the Mobil station to let him know that the two truck would deliver my car to him shortly. My mechanic then recommended replacing the alternator and started, which I agreed to. The next repair was to replace the engine wiring in my Honda Accord, which did not repair the vehicle. After 8-9 days, could not repair my 2010 Honda Accord, On October 8, 2024 my neighbor and I visited Suburban Honda in Farmington Hills, and were told to contact Honda America to open a case, which we did. After phoning 800-999-1009, and sharing the details of the engine compartment fire, an official Honda case [XXX] was opened to document the engine fire in my 2010 Honda Accord.

This past week I experienced a catastrophic malfunction with the vehicle, while driving it appeared to short circuit and shut down. It would not allow me to drive in any gear whatsoever. Upon taking it to a mechanic at Jiffy Lube he stated the incident is identical and experienced the same issues that Honda and the Dept of Transportation deemed a recall that could have ended in severe injury or death. That issue and recall being (see below) Powertrain:Auto Transmission Control Module (TCM,PCM). You see the mechanic at Jiffy Lube referred me to this recall due to his analysis and diagnosis being the same. Whom stated that the vin doesn't state a recall, but it being the exact same model, make, engine, year, and coupled with the fact that it has TCM and PCM catastrophic damage, I was subjected to and encountered. I request this matter be further researched and investigation conducted because 1.5 million vehicles were effected and I'd feel more confident and place more faith in Honda upon investigation.

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. The contact stated that when he drives his vehicle over 40 MPH, the check engine warning light was illuminated and the vehicle would lose power. The contact stated that the accelerator was depressed and the vehicle failed to increase in speed. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the crank sensor, spark plugs, as well as catalytic converter. The vehicle was driving normally for about a year, however, the failure reoccurred. The dealer or manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 11V004000 (Electrical System) however his vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 160,000

THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS BUT WE INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY IN THE ELECTRONIC KEYS. AFTER REPLACING IT AND THE PROBLEMS CONTINUING THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND WE WERE TOLD THE 3 ACTUATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

ON FEBRUARY 10, 2017 THE CAR HORN SOUNDED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES, AND THIS REPEATED TWICE BEFORE 2 AM. THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY, AND NO ONE WAS NEAR IT. THE KEY WAS ON THE TABLE. THE ACTION WAS SPONTANEOUS. IT STOPPED ONLY WHEN I UNLOCKED THE CAR DOOR. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR LATER IN THE MORNING AT LEAST FOUR SAFETY WARNINGS APPEARED INCLUDING "BRAKES" ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS BEHAVIOR WAS CONFIRMED BY THE DEALER DARCARS HONDA IN BOWIE MARYLAND, WHERE IT WAS ATTRIBUTED TO A FUSE BOX WHICH MUST BE REPLACED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR, EVEN IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED, BECAUSE OF THE CAR'S SAFETY WARNING.

WHEN MAKING TURNS THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK AND CABIN LIGHTS COME ON AS SOON AS YOU START DRIVING STRAIGHT AGAIN DOOR LOCK AND LIGHTS GO OFF. *TR

EVERY TIME YOU PRESS ACCELERATOR AFTER A STOP, THE POWER DOOR LOCKS CLICK AND WILL KEEP LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. PLUS IT IS VERY ANNOYING WHILE DRIVING. JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ONE DAY AGO. I HAVE READ WHERE MANY HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO HERB CHAMBERS, SEEKONK, MA, AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE SAFETY HARNESS THAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AS THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF THESE PARTS AVAILABLE. IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GET THE PART. IT HAS BEEN APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS AND I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM.
