Sun visor snapped. It does not stay in place. It blocks my frontal view when I am driving which is very unsafe. I have looked online and multiple drivers with Hondas complaining of the same issue. I have tried multiple DIY-??s to make it stay up and nothing works

My 2012 Honda Accord is using oil in between my 3000 mile oil changes and it should not be using that much, in between changes I put 1.5 quarts of oil in the engine. I have read that some Hondas are having this problem I only have 125000 miles on my car and take really good care of my vehicles the inside still looks new. Also the air conditioner isn-??t blowing cold enough air. I purchased it in May of 2014 I love my car, my mechanic says it-??s the rings in the engine, I don-??t drive car erratically. Hope you can help get my car fixed correctly, My Machanic noticed this the last couple of oil changes

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.

The starter of my 2012 Honda Accord sport failed. My car has 72500 miles. Honda has classified this a premature failure caused by defect, but has failed to recall the starter. The starter that failed is made in the United States. The starter failure is caused my car to stop running in the middle of a highway causing serious risk. Many Honda customers have also complained about the issue with reports of starter failure on cars with less than 30000 miles. The cost of replacement is $800 and Honda has refused to fix the problem or reimburse the cost of the fix. There are thousands of 2012 - 2017 Honda Accord cars with similar defective starter part currently on american roads, potentially leading to failures and accidents.

While driving on the city street I heard a loud noise (pop) I pulled over to the side of the road didn't see any visual damage, so I pressed the button to open the trunk and the trunk would not pop open, so when I lifted the trunk there is S bar that was laying in the trunk, the little white piece that rotates the bars and hooks the broke so the trunk no longer pops up when trunk button is pressed.

"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.

On 7/1/2017, I purchased the above vehicle with 12,000+ miles from yonkers Honda @ 1980 central park ave, yonkers, NY with the proviso that the TPMS light which was on would be corrected. I was told to take it to yonkers Honda service @ 500 yonkers ave., yonkers, NY whereupon a sensor would be replaced & that this action takes 4 hours. I have been to the service station 3 times - July 6, July 13 & July 25 & still the problem is unresolved. I am beginning to worry that this is a bigger problem with this feature. 1st Honda service ordered the wrong part, then the "correct" part came late and yesterday, my vehicle was in their shop from 7am until 2pm and still it's not resolved. This deserves an investigation as I fear my tire/S being underinflated or worse overinflated and not knowing so. I feel that I was not told the truth about this problem at the time of purchasing this vehicle and am beginning to think that the low mileage perhaps attributed to this problem. Thank you.

The car engine suddenly stalled in the middle of the road while driving on our city street. Also we are unable to push down the break. ( lucky no one behind us and we are not on the highway). We had to turn the key to off position and restart the engine. Thank you

Two rear doors will not unlock when useing the switches on the driver side door. And rear doors will not unlock when using the remote on the key ring. The door motors sound like they are dying. All of this happens when the car is in the off mode engine not running and in park.

Allstate claim number: 0419487707 edward dugan allstate Agency 1-630-351-9222 my car damage due to unintended acceleration on my 2012 Honda Accord. The accident happed 7/1/16 at between 12/30 and 1pm. When it happened, I did not have braking on the brake petal or power steering. I did a half circle in my yard to avoid hitting the house or garage. It happened from a stop in the cull-de-sac. It left acceleration tire stripes where it started in the cull-de-sac. In the driveway it marked where I turned. I tried to avoid the garage and then the house by making a semi circle in the yard. I clipped the concrete steps at the front of the house. Ran over 2 sections of a 4 ft. Fence in our yard. Hitting the concrete steps slowed the car so after the fence, the emergency brake stopped the car. The car fix was over $5000, and we had a $150 deductible. Sorry allstate. Car fix at service king 5th ave. In naperville,

My TPMS sensors is constantly coming on and off. I took my car to a closest dealer from my work. Dealer was able to verify my complain and changed 3 sensors out of 4. I took a long trip appx. 2000 miles. And started to experience same issues. Sensor has started to come off and on again. So I scheduled appointment with my Honda dealer from whom I got the car. He told me that they were not able to verify complain. So right now I'm frustrated. I used my time to take my car to a dealer and since it's the only car in my household I spent money for transportation. I drive 30 miles to work every day and still experience same issues with TPMS sensor it's coming on and off every time I drive.

The tire pressure ms light continuously comes on and stays on. Even after we put air in the tires. It is completely unsafe because we have no idea if it's really low on pressure or if it's just defective.

The tempered glass sunroof exploded upwards, leaving shards of glass in a pattern like a crown. The temperature was 60 degrees, I was traveling at 65 mph on a lonely stretch of two-lane road with no other cars or people around me. The sound was like a tire blowout. The car is housed in a garage and has 27,000 miles on it. The Honda service manager said something had to have hit it, but he is wrong. Nothing hit it.
