NHTSA Complaint #10918685 — 2010 HONDA ACCORD

I BOUGHT MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD 2DR LX-S (5A) BRAND NEW IN AUGUST 2010 AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH IT SINCE - MOST OF WHICH HAS GOTTEN WORSE THAT I AM SCARED FOR MY SAFETY AND THOSE ON THE ROAD. - WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND NON HIGHWAY SPEEDS RANGING FROM 15MPH - 60MPH SEVERE RUBBER SMELL AND GRINDING OF BRAKES-SOUNDED AS IF THE ENTIRE CAR WAS GOING TO FALL APART. WHEN I GOT HOME THE REAR BRAKES AND PADS WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED, BLACK AND WERE EXTREMELY HOT TO TOUCH. SCHAUMBURG DEALERSHIP SAID THE REAR PADS WEREN'T INSTALLED CORRECTLY. -EVERYDAY SINCE MILE 25,000 MY CAR WHEN STARTED AT ANY TIME HAS MADE A LARGE AND EXTREMELY LOUD CRANKING NOISE THAT LASTS ABOUT 2 SECONDS. SCHAUMBURG DEALERSHIP DAYS THIS IS RELATED TO THE I-VTEC 4-CYLINDER ENGINE BUT IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. (THIS WAS AT 71,000 MILES). NO FUSS HAD BEEN MADE HAD THEY SAID IT IS COMPLETELY FINE WITH THE CRANKING NOISE. -WHEN TURNING AND DRIVING IN GENERAL THE CAR MAKES A WEIRD WHINING NOISE FROM 0MPH - 45MPH I'VE NOTICED THIS MANY TIMES AS WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT MY VEHICLE IAS EXTREMELY UNEVEN. THIS ALSO COULD RELATE TO THE STARTING WHEEL BEING 5 INCHES TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE WHEELS ARE STRAIGHT; I'VE PAID FOR MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. -LASTLY THE BREAKING SYSTEM IS TERRIBLE AND DOES NOT STOP CORRECTLY. I NOW HAVE TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP 500 FEET PRIOR SO THEY WORK; I HAVE TO DRIVE EXTREMELY SLOW AND BE VERY CAUTIOUS. *TR
