I keep hearing whining sounds under hood. I initially thought it was power steering because it was a little low. However, after topping it off, it continues and sometimes get even louder. I have also noticed cracking sound from wheel when driving. It's really noticeable when roads/streets are uneven. It sounds like wheels are going to roll off at any time. Dealership told me my driver side map light needs to be replaced. However, driver side map light works on rare occasions. I also noticed that light on driver side visor seems to have a short. This is very disturbing. I owned a 98 Honda Accord and never had these issues for 13 years. I noticed there has been recall for certain 2011 Honda Accord for suspension issues. Why is this car not included?

2011 Honda Accord wheel bearings both front wheel bearings went bad at 60000 miles. This vehicle was used by my daughter for commuting to college. In a worst case scenario a bad wheel bearing can seize up and cause an accident. In motion the car was very loud while driving. This repair cost $700 and was not covered under warranty. Owning multiple vehicles of numerous makes and models never had a wheel bearing go bad. Honda did not contact notifying of the problem.

I purchased this vehicle in February 2015. The first thing that I had to fix was the axle ( output shaft ) seal leak which the Honda dealer did not want to repair even though the car only had 62,000. Also, it makes a loud noise in the back when I go over the speed bump which is coming from the suspension. In addition, whenever I took the vehicle to ntb for an oil change. The mechanic told me that the rear main seal needs to be replaced because it is starting to leak motor oil. And again, the Honda dealer does not want to honor the powertrain warranty on my vehicle despite the low mileage it has. Seems like I need to file a lawsuit against them.

I brought the car used certified with 6,800 miles. After a week of driving, the car feels like it has a mind of it own, I don't have full control of the car. Every time I hit a bump the car will swing left and right. Or when I'm going over 55 mph on the highway, the car moves left and right by it self. Something feels loose, I was driving local on 11/25/12 and made a left turn, the engine just shut off on me, I took it back to the dealer and the dealer found nothing wrong with the car or with the suspension. My friend have the same problem with his car, the suspension on the 2011 Honda Accord SE don't feel right.the problem needs to be corrected, I have a 2 year old and a new born in my house that goes in and out of this vehicle. I don't need to wait until something happens for the dealer or manufacturer to fix the problem.

My car has a steering shimmy and vibration problem that began as mild and is now severe and vibrates the entire vehicle. Honda balanced my tires several times, then replaced all 4 Michelin Pilot tires with 4 new ones. Those had to be repeatedly balanced and then were replaced a 2nd time in less than 1,000 miles. The 2nd set was repeatedly balanced with no results. Both front axles were replaced and both front rotors were replaced with the vibration never changing. Honda's area rep agreed to replace wheels and tires with after market bbs wheels and Bridgestone serenity tires to rule out wheel and tire problems. Problem did not change and has now gotten worse as the mileage increases. (9K miles now). You can google 2011 Honda Accord shimmy problem and see that the problem is widespread in the usa and Canada, but Honda usa is telling me that I am the only one. I have bought 4 brand new Accord exl V6 cars in 8 years, have loved these cars, and am very surprised that Honda is flat out lying to me. My dealer has been helpful and supportive, and the area rep has been diligent in his efforts, too. However Honda usa is stonewalling me, by not returning calls, and delay after delay. I have asked for a buyback under lemon law statute, as the dealer says that they cannot fix this problem, that they definitely acknowledge. (they replaced tires 3 times, and wheels and axles once) Honda usa is taking the position that this is not a big deal, but the vehicle is not safe to drive. Honda usa told me to take the car back to the dealer today, but the dealer doesn't want it and says that Honda is done chasing the problem. Can you help me understand my options, and if your administration can assist me in getting Honda's attention at (hopefully) a higher level of management? I sincerely appreciate any suggestions that you can offer.
