ABS, Traction Control and Brake lights on. Diagnosed by 2 mechanics told ABS module is bad, which affects braking and is hazardous. Also told this should not be happening with so little mileage on vehicle 50K. There needs to be a recall for this issue!!!!
Steering, Service brakes, Nov 13, 2024
ABS,Traction Control, Brake Light steady stay on. Have taken vehicle to numerous mechanics. ISSUES can NEVER BE RESOLVED. Lights will stay on no matter what. I HAVE TO CHANGE THE BRAKES LIKE EVERY 4-6 months. Alignment also has to keep getting done. I don't know if that's because the issue with whatever is causing the braking issues haven't been resolved. Also the oil has to be changed like every 4,000 miles. . I also was driving down the road one day and heard this LOUD bang almost like a gunshot and out of the blue the trunk torque rods and the clips broke spontaneously.

Twice in the past couple of months my car has turned off while in drive and I lost power steering/braking. Both times were luckily in my apartment parking lot. They occured about 10-15 seconds after backing out and putting it in drive. The second time I almost slid into a car driving by since I wasn't able to brake.

I bought my Honda 2012 as a used vehicle about 1 1/2 ago. I have had the tires replaced all the way around almost twice. I have had it in the shop multiple times for a vibration and noise that starts at about 60 mph and seems to lessen when I get to around 75 mph. I also have had to get the tires aligned multiple times, once within 2 weeks time and the steering seems to get looser and looser. Still been unable to figure out why this is happening by my mechanic.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING HONDA (ACCORD) CARS FOR OVER 40 YEARS. NOW I OWN A HONDA CROSSTOUR. GREAT CAR! I DO NOT DRIVE VERY MUCH AND ONLY LOCALLY. MY AVERAGE ANNUAL MILEAGE IS ABOUT 7,000 MILES. MY CROSSTOUR IS 7 YEARS OLD NOW AND HAS JUST REACHED 53,000 MILES. YESTERDAY I WAS TOLD THAT I I NEED A $1,600 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE "RACK AND PINION". APPARENTLY A TINY PIECE IS BROKEN ON IT. THIS IS VERY TROUBLING. EVEN THE AUTO REPAIR TOLD ME TO CONTACT HONDA AS THIS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY.. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED BY HONDA DEALERSHIPS. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTED WHEN I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I CONTACTED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RACK AND PINION IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT NEW PARTS ARE NOT MADE. I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BUY A RE-FURBISHED PART. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH A SERIOUS PART OF THE VEHICLE, WITH ONLY LOCAL MILEAGE ON IT, CANNOT BE UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. AND, I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT ONLY "USED PARTS" ARE AVAILABLE. I AM A LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER FOR MANY MANY YEARS. I AM A 75 YR OLD, SENIOR CITIZEN ON A LIMITED SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM A REPRESENTATIVE FROM HONDA'S CUSTOMER LOYALTY DEPARTMENT WHO CAN PLEASE HELP ME!

"TAKATA RECALL" MY ACCORD'S STEERING HAS A WEIRD VIBRATION GOING OVER 30 - 60 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE MY FRONT WHEELS WOBBLES. AFTER MAKING SURE THE WHEELS WERE OK, ITS LATER FOUND THAT THERE IS A STEERING LEAK. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, IT IS IMPACTING THE WEARING OF THE TIRES UNEVENLY. AFTER I ROTATED AND BALANCED IT, THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. THE HONDA DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE MORE THAN $4500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE BUT AFTER READING SO MANY SIMILAR ISSUES IT APPEARS THAT IT CONTINUES TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO HONDA RELIABILITY BUT, IT IS TROUBLING. I WENT TO HAVE THEM ADDRESS THE TAKATA RECALL BUT I KEEP GETTING CALLS FROM THEM WHEN I ALREADY WENT TO GET IT "FIXED". NOT SURE IF THEY ACTUALLY DID THE JOB BECAUSE I CALLED THEM BACK AND I HAVE THE NOTIFICATION STATING THAT THE WORK WAS DONE, BUT ANOTHER DEPARTMENT WAS TELLING ME IT WASN'T DONE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR HEAVILY VIBRATING WHEN THE CAR REACHED 60,000 WHICH IS A CONCERN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IF FELT UNSAFE, I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AT ONLY 30,000 MILES, THEY SAID IT WAS CRACKED SEALS IN THE STEERING RACK. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLE, VIBRATE. THEY FIXED IT, AGAIN IT HAPPENED AT 55,000 MILES, THEN AGAIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES LATER REPLACING THE STEERING COLUMN. ALL UNDER WARRANTY, THANK GOD I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IS THIS NORMAL. NOW I AM FULLY OUT OF WARRANTY, IT IS BEGINNING TO VIBRATE AGAIN. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE I GOT THIS MAKE AND MODEL, NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH ANOTHER HONDA. JUST CONCERNED THAT IT WILL BE AN EXPENSIVE ISSUE THAT SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM SINCE EARLY ON. THE CAR WOULD BE IN MOTION, INVOLVEMENT WAS WHEN REACHING A SPEED OF 55 OR HIGHER ON THE HIGHWAY. IT STILL VIBRATED AT LOWER SPEED BUT BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE PAST THAT POINT AND THE CAR WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT WITH A STIFF WHEEL.
