Summary:
WE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM IN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT ON OUR TRIP BACK FROM AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP LAST WEEKEND. AS A RESULT OF THIS EXPERIENCE MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. AFTER A FEW HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, AND DECELERATING THROUGH AN EXIT RAMP, THEN RE-ACCELERATING AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT WE EXPERIENCED AND AN EXTREMELY RESISTANT BRAKE PEDAL REQUIRING EXTREMELY HARD PEDAL PRESSURE AND THE ENGINE SEEMED TO CONTINUE TO REV DURING BRAKING. WHILE STOPPED AT THE LIGHT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV ABNORMALLY. OUR 30-YEAR-OLD SON WAS DRIVING. HE DID NOT MOVE HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR FEAR OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. HE SWITCHED INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE STOPPED REVVING. WHILE KEEPING HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL HE PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE. THEN THE ENGINE SEEMED NORMAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS WAS A DISCONCERTING EXPERIENCE BECAUSE IT WAS ABNORMALLY DIFFICULT TO STOP, AND WE ALMOST RAN INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF US. THERE WERE THREE ADULT WITNESSES TO THIS FRIGHTENING EPISODE, MY WIFE, OUR ADULT SON, AND ME. WE DID NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AT ANY TIME DURING THIS TRIP. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR HONDA DEALER. THEY EXAMINED THE CAR THOROUGHLY AND COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS. THEY HYPOTHESIZED THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A COMPUTER ERROR, BUT THE SYSTEMS TEST OUT FINE NOW. NOW OUR FAMILY IS LEFT WITH A CAR THAT WE KNOW HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT, AND WE DRIVE IT IN FEAR THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, HURTING OTHERS OR US. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS STEALTH DEFECT MAY BE LURKING TO HURT OTHERS IN OTHER 2006 HONDA ACCORD V6 CARS. *JB

I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 ACCORD AND TOOK DELIVERY ON MARCH 29, 2006 FROM CLINTON HONDA, CLINTON, NJ. WITHIN ONE DAY AFTER DELIVERY I NOTICED A THUMPING SOUND AND VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR DURING HARD BRAKING. I MADE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT THE EARLIEST AVAILABLE DATE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ON FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2006 THE SERVICE MANAGER, MR. WILLIAM WILSON, INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE SLIGHTLY WARPED AND GLAZED AND THAT HONDA WOULD RESURFACE THE ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY. MR. WILSON INFORMED ME THAT IT IS HONDA POLICY TO RESURFACE BRAKE ROTORS ONCE UNDER WARRANTY. I ASKED HONDA TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED. BRAND NEW ROTORS SHOULD NOT BE WARPED AND GLAZED, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL SUCH A DEFECTIVE CAR. *NM

FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. JUST BOUGHT 2006 ACCORD SE MID APRIL TAKING DELIVERY A WEEK LATER. RETURNED THE VEHICLE TODAY AFTER LONG TRIP TO BORDERING STATE IN WHICH THE CONNECTION AT THE DOOR PANEL OF THE SHOULDER SAFETY BELT RATTLES RIGHT INTO THE DRIVERS LEFT EAR. HAD THIS TRIP BEEN TAKEN WITHIN THE 5 DAY PERIOD AFTER TAKING DELIVERY AND BEEN TOLD IT WAS SOMETHING WHICH COULD NOT BE FIXED, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR RETURN OF OUR 99 ACURA. NOW I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR WITH RATTLE AT MY LEFT EAR AND MOST UNHAPPY. I LOVE DRIVING AND THIS TAKES AWAY DRIVING PLEASURE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST HONDA WE HAVE OWNED BUT MAY WELL BE THE LAST! WE HAVE PRAISED THE HONDA PRODUCTS WHEN ASKED ABOUT OUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ON HONDAS, AS HUSBAND HAD ACURA WHICH WAS TRADED IN FOR THIS VEHICLE. WAS ALSO TOLD THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN FOR A FEW YEARS. WE HAD 87 CIVIC, 90 ACCORD SE, 99 ACURA, AND 97 ACCORD SE. THIS IS FIRST TIME WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT FIXED!!!! HAD THE FEELING SINCE DOES NOT AFFECT HOW THE CAR RUNS OR SAFETY FACTOR, IT IS NOTHING. *JB

Summary:
DRIVING OUR 2 MONTH OLD 2006 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN EX SPECIAL EDITION ON A STRETCH OF SMOOTH ROAD THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST AIR. WE HAD NOT SEEN ANYTHING IN ROAD, HIT A POTHOLE OR CURB OR ANYTHING ELSE. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING INFLUENCED THE TIRE TO BLOW. UPON INSPECTION OF THE TIRE A 1.5 INCH HOLE WAS IN THE SIDEWALL. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE ROAD THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS EVENT. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC AND CHANGE THE TIRE WITHOUT FURTHER COMPLICATIONS. TWO MICHELIN AUTHORIZED TIRE COMPANIES TOLD ME THAT WE MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING THAT CAUSED THE PUNCTURE AND THAT MICHELIN WOULD NOT OFFER ANY WARRANTY ON THE TIRE. I WAS STUNNED THAT THIS COULD BE POSSIBLE ON A 2 MONTH OLD TIRE WITH LESS THAN TWO THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND WITHOUT ANY IDENTIFIABLE EVENT THAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE TIRE TO FAIL. I AM VERY PLEASED THAT THERE WAS NO RESULTING CRASH BUT I AM NOT HAPPY THAT I HAD TO SPEND ALMOST $200.00 TO REPLACE A TIRE ON MY NEW CAR WHEN I BELIEVE THERE WAS NOT ANY WAY I COULD HAVE AVOIDED IT. IF I HAD HIT A POTHOLE, CURB OR ANYTHING, IF THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF SOMETHING IN THE ROAD OR EVEN IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING AGGRESSIVELY I COULD UNDERSTAND IT, BUT THERE IS NO REASON IN MY MIND THAT THIS TIRE SHOULD HAVE FAILED NOR SHOULD I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT. I AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE OTHER 9 MICHELIN TIRES ON OUR HONDAS ( WE PURCHASED TWO ACCORDS IN JULY) AND OUR SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THE CARS. *JB

1) NEW WHEEL BEARING AT 10,768 MILES 2) NEW TRANSMISSION AND REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT OF SAME SHIFT CABLE AT 10,791 MILES (SERVICE TECH ACKNOWLEDGES THE NOISE ON THE WORK TICKET) 3) ROTATE AND BALANCE OF TIRES DUE TO A SERIOUS VIBRATION PROBLEM IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT 10,791 MILES 4) RESURFACING OF ORIGINAL ROTORS, 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT DUE TO NOISE AT 11,002 MILES 5) REPLACEMENT OF OLD ROTORS WITH NEW ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS AT 11,184 MILES. WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY ALL THIS WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON OUR VEHICLE IF EVERYONE NOW STATES THAT THEY CANNOT HEAR THE GRINDING NOISE. WE HAVE MADE MULTIPLE GOOD FAITH ATTEMPTS (5 LOGGED WHICH INCLUDES THE FINAL ATTEMPT, AND 1 NOT LOGGED), TO HAVE OUR CAR REPAIRED CORRECTLY. AT THIS TIME, WE ARE ONLY LEFT WITH THE ROUTE OF ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OR BE LEFT WITH A SUBSTANDARD HONDA PRODUCT. *NM
