This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
One day while driving to work I was listening to music in the vehicle's factory 6 disk cd changer at which time I noticed it quite working. I glanced and saw the words "err". from that time the cd player failed to respond to any commands. I took it to the dealer where they attempted fix the problem and did not continue as the cd player was out of warranty. I am now have 6 stuck cd's in the unit and it will not play or eject cd's.
Air conditioning has failed on 2006 Honda Accord with 43,000 miles. Dealer says the problem is due to a leaking condenser which will cost $700 to replace. The condenser is in a very exposed position in the front grill and has no protection whatsoever. It is very prone to damage from road debris. This is very poor design as there is no protective mesh. This is a design fault which is costing Accord owners a great deal of money. It should be fixed under a recall!
2006 Honda Accord bought new in 2007 46K miles. A/C stopped blowing cold air, took it to dealer because of extended warranty. Was told repair would not be covered by warranty because condenser was puncture by road hazard. Car has not been in wreck nor has anything been run over, was told a small rock puncture the condenser. Internet search on this issue has returned multiple sites and message boards claiming the same issue and that Honda is not covering repairs. Obviously there is a design flaw in their vehicles. Internet search also returned a class action suit in progress see site www.hondalawsuit.com.
Brake judder : in a technical service bulletins my personal family mechanic finally found what I had been complaining about for 6 months to Honda. A wiggle a shake or what ever you want to call it get this fix free....VIN#that start with 1hg or 3hg are eligible for brake pad replacement and turned rotors free. Honda knows but refuse to give the information out I had to get a copy of the report and take it to them before they fixed for free technical service bulletins.
I was driving in the right lane of an express way and exiting onto the exit ramp. My 2006 Honda Accord was accelerating, so I pressed the brake pedal to slow down to no avail. The engine continued to rev at an accelerated rate, so I continued to pump and pump the brake pedal, but the car was not stopping and still continued going forward. Within seconds I was at the top of the ramp?where I quickly observed 3 rows of cars (on the left side) waiting at the red light. At that point, I realized that the car would not stop and I did not want to hit any of the cars waiting at the red light"so I directed the car straight ahead and beyond the 3 rows of waiting cars to avoid hitting them?and hoping I would hit a pole to stop the car. The next thing I remember I awoke, the front windshield was shattered, I had shattered glass on my body, the air bags had already deflated, and someone was yelling to open my door. This, I could not do?and I just sat there. Then someone jammed the door open?and I was pulled out to a waiting ambulance. Other cars were hit and there were serious injuries. Honda: Why did this happen? what happened to the brakes?to make them malfunction when I kept pressing the brake pedal continually" we are currently trying to find the cause.
