NHTSA Complaint #10483654 — 2012 HONDA ACCORD

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN ORANGE COAST COLLEGE- COSTA MESA- CA PARKING LOT ABOUT 5PM- 9PM. I GOT OUT ABOUT 9PM AT NIGHT THAT WAS SUMMER TIME BUT IT WAS UNUSUALLY VERY FROGGY NIGHT. MY EXTERIOR WINDOWS CAR WERE FULLY COVERED WITH FROG AND WATER THAT WARMED UP MY CAR FOR 3 MINUTES AND PUSHED DEFROST BUTTON THAT TURNED YELLOW BUT I WAITED FOR 20 MINUTES FOR REAR WINDOW DEFROST FROG BUT THERE WAS NOTHING HAPPENED. I COULD NOT BACK UP BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY CAR ROWS BEHIND ME. I HAD TO OPEN ALL FOUR WINDOW CAR AND ASKED MALE STUDENT HELPED ME TO BACK UP. I DROVE MY CAR TO HOME WITH FOUR WINDOW COMPLETELY OPEN THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY I COULD LOOK AT TWO SIDE WINDOWS TO DRIVE MY CAR HOME AT THE DARK AND HEAVY FROGGY CONDITION. THAT TOOK ABOUT 35 MINUTES TO DRIVE HOME INSTEAD OF 15 MINUTES THAT I USED TO DRIVE FROM MY SCHOOL TO HOME. AFTER THAT INCIDENT I PARKED MY CAR OFTEN OUTSIDE INSTEAD OF INSIDE OF MY GARAGE TO TRY TO DETECT ABOUT THAT BASIC BUT VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. DEFROST FUNCTIONALITY AT MY CAR. THAT WAS FEB 20,2012 I TOOK MY CAR TO POWER HONDA SERVICE WHERE I LEASED THIS CAR FOR FIX IT BUT THIS DEALER FOUND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING FOUND WITH ITS DEFROST FUNCTIONALITY. LATER THAT I KEEP PARKING MY OUTSIDE TO TEST HOW EXACTLY MY CAR' DEFROST FUNCTIONALITY. THERE WERE SOME MORNING DUE FOR TESTING WATER CONDENSATION OBTAINED ON MY EXTERIOR WINDOW CAR THAT I HAVE FOUND THAT DEFROST FUNCTION AT MY CAR TOTALLY DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL EVEN AFTER PUSHING DEFROST BUTTON THAT TURN YELLOW ! BUT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THAT WAS HOW POWER HONDA TESTED MY ABOUT!!!! I CALLED BACK POWER HONDA ABOUT THIS ISSUE THAT THEY ASKED ME TO BRING BACK FOR RETEST AND I DID BRING IT BACK FOR TWO MORE TIME BUT ITS TEST CAME BACK THE SAME LIKE IT WAS BEFORE. THAT WAS OCT 25, 2012,I BROUGHT MY CAR TO DIFFERENT DEALER THAT WAS HONDA WORLD BUT IT CAME OUT ITS TEST WITH SAME RESULT AS POWER HONDA. *TR
