2012 HONDA ACCORD Fuelpropulsion System Problems

2012 Accord exl - Engine Seizure! I had the air-bag recall done about 5 years ago. None of the air-bags deployed when the 2012 exl hit a telephone pole at 20 mph and broke the telephone pole in half. I finally found out about the class action lawsuit for the excessive oil consumption yesterday (1 Qt per 1,000 miles), 2 years after the engine seizure. I spoke with Honda headquarters (1919 Torrance Blvd., Torrance, ca 90501) today for an hour and a half. mostly on hold waiting for [XXX] to get her stupervisor [XXX] to come to the phone. Honda Seemed to think my 2012 v6 exl is not part of the lot of cars they were supposed to fix in the excessive oil consumption class action lawsuit. If you have any advice on how I could recover any funds spent on my engine repair or if there is any...

WHILE DRIVING A HONDA ACCORD STRAIGHT AHEAD IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE, THE DRIVER SUDDENLY HEARD A "BOOM" NOISE, AND THE CAR SHOT FORWARD AT WHAT THE DRIVER SAYS FELT LIKE DOUBLE THE SPEED THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY GOING. THE DRIVER SAYS HE HAD NO WAY TO CONTROL THE CAR AS IT MOVED FORWARD AND STRUCK THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT BEFORE VEERING LEFT AND CROSSING OVER ALL 4 LANES, INCLUDING A MEDIAN, AND CRASHING INTO A DITCH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DRIVER COMPLAINED OF CHEST PAINS AND WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. AT FIRST, WHILE STILL AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT, PRIOR TO BEING TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, THE DRIVER ASSUMED HE HAD BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THE "BOOM" NOISE AND SUDDENLY BEING PUSHED FORWARD, WHICH IS WHAT HE TOLD THE POLICE. HOWEVER, AFTER BEING RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL AND...

DRIVING MY HONDA ON A COLD NIGHT AT 20 DEGREE, I HIT MY BRAKES AND THE CAR ACCELRATED AT A EXTREME HIGH SPEED, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AND CRASHED TOTALLING MY VEHICLE

BACKING INTO DRIVEWAY THE CAR ACCELERATED TO FULL SPEED BY ITS SELF. PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW. TRAVELLED ABOUT 60 FEET AND CRASHED INTO OUR DOUBLE GARAGE DOING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE GARAGE AND THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. NOT SURE WHAT SPEED CAR ACCELERATED TO, BEST GUESS 30 MPH.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2012 ACCORD LX-P MODEL SINCE 2013 THROUGH PURCHASE AFTER AN EXPIRED LEASE. IT IS A DEALER "CERTIFIED" VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM I HAVE RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED IS THE STRONG SMELL OF GAS TANK FUMES AFTER A FILL AND ALSO AFTER A LONG TRIP. THE ODOR HAS BECOME STRONGER IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR WHILE THE SMELL STILL LINGERS AT THE GAS CAP/FILL TUBE/ WHEEL WELL AREA. THE 2013 MODEL HAS THE SAME CONDITION AND IS NOTED AS A RECALL. MY MODEL WAS MANUFACTURED IN JUNE 2012. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE PART AND OR MANUFACTURING PROCEDURE IS RELEVANT TO THE DEFECT IDENTIFIED IN THE ADJOINING YEAR 2013 MODEL. ALTHOUGH RECALLS ARE DECLARED THROUGH THE CORPORATE SOURCE, WE MUST EXPECT CONSUMERS TO BE ALERT AND REPORT THESE CONDITIONS. GAS VAPOR IS DANGEROUS AND UNWANTED FOR ANY DRIVER OR HONDA CUSTOMER. HONDA DECLARES SAFETY IS THEIR MOST IMPORTANT PARAMETER. I...

THE VEHICLE WAS BACKING UP AND WHEN PUT IN DRIVE TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I WAS BRAKING AS HARD AS I COULD AND IT WENT OVER THE BLOCK CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND HITTING THE BUILDING CAUSING DAMAGE . THIS HAPPENED AFTER FILLING MY CAR UP WITH GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS.

ENGINE COOLANT, THERMOSTAT, RADIATOR AND ENGINE FAILED AT A MERE 37K MILES. HONDA REFUSED TO COVER. IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT STARTED SMOKING AND SHOOTING OUT FLUID FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HAD IT TOWED TO TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS ONLY TO NOT HAVE IT COVERED.

VIN: [XXX] YEAR: 2012 MAKE: HONDA MODEL: ACCORD SEDAN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WHEN ACCELERATOR IS ENGAGED CAR DOES NOT RESPOND FOR APPX. 5 SECONDS THEN ACCELERATES AT RAPID PACE CAUSING A SUDDEN JERK IN ACCELERATION. I HAVE BEEN BEHIND OTHER CARS WHEN THIS HAS HAPPEN WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN REAR-IN ACCIDENT. ALSO CROSSING MEDIAN WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC ON OTHER SIDE WHEN CAR WOULD STALL WHILE CROSSING ALMOST CAUSING ON-COMING CAR TO HIT ME ON PASSENGER SIDE. SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED USED AND OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM, TOWNSEND BMW, WOULD NOT REPAIR PROBLEM OR EVEN LOOK AT IT AFTER SALE. THIS OCCURS AT DIFFERENT TIMES SO HAVE TO DRIVE FOR A WHILE BEFORE IT WILL OCCUR. WILL BE TAKING TO DEALER SOON WHEN I CAN AFFORD COST OF PARTS AND REPAIRS. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IF I HOLD BRAKE AND GIVE SOME...

THE MECHANISM FOR RELEASING THE FUEL DOOR IS A LATCH/BUTTON LOCATED INSIDE THE VEHICLE NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR. DEPRESSING THE MECHANISM IS SUPPOSED TO RELEASE THE EXTERIOR FUEL DOOR SO THAT GASOLINE CAN BE FILLED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANISM DOES NOT WORK. UPON REPEATED PRESSING OF THE BUTTON, THE FUEL DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. EVENTUALLY, PRYING A FLAT OBJECT INTO THE SPACING BETWEEN THE FUEL DOOR AND THE BODY IS REQUIRED TO RELEASE THE FUEL DOOR. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AT MILE HIGH HONDA FOR THIS PROBLEM TWICE (THE LATEST SERVICE OCCURING ON JANUARY 2, 2015) AND IN BOTH INSTANCES THE TECHNICIANS, WHILE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR IT. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2012 MODEL ACCORDS AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM OR FIX IT. FURTHER, THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT...

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATES AFTER I START A TURN, THEN HAVE TO STOP, THEN WHEN I WANT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE HESITATION OCCURS. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES IN A 4000 MILE PERIOD. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS ACCELERATED AFTER HESITATING BUT THERE IS A NOTICEABLE HESITATION WHICH IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN. I HAVE READ OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT SIMILAR HESITATION PROBLEMS WHICH SEEM TO MIRROR MY EXPERIENCE. I WILL ASK THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN I NEXT TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. *TR

I GOT MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD IT HAD 8 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING THAT THE ACCELERATION DELAYS ABOUT FIVE SECONDS IT FEELS JUST LIKE THE CAR IS NOT GETTING GAS AND THEN IT KICKS IN. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I HAVE SLOWED DOWN OR AM TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT TURNING. I HAVE HAD THAT DELAY HAPPEN WHEN EVER I DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN COLDER WEATHER, THE FUEL CAP WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT THEY WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT IN COLDER WEATHER, THE FUEL WOULD SHRINK AND CAUSE A VACUUM, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE THE FUEL CAP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
