2010 Honda Accord Body & Structure Problems

Your trunk lid fell suddenly when you opened it, though you weren't injured. The dealer diagnosed that the trunk lid support springs were fractured and need replacement. This is a safety concern since a falling trunk lid could injure someone or obstruct your view while driving. The repair will involve replacing the worn trunk lid springs.

WHITE DIAMOND PEARL PAINT FLAKING OFF DRIVER DOOR AND AROUND REAR WINDOW CHANNEL. FLAKING OFF IN SHEETS.

PAINT IS PEELING OF MY CAR

TWO ISSUES I AM HAVING THAT TONS OF PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT. ONE ISSUE IS THE VARIABLE TIMING SOLENOID. AT STARTUP THE VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE EXTERIOR WEATHER STRIP IS ALLOWING WATER TO LEAK INTO MY CAR.

I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, EVEN AFTER UNLOCKING THE DOOR. THIS COULD BE AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, SHOULD EMERGENCY RESPONDERS NEED TO GAIN IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO THE CAR AND A PASSENGER WAS UNRESPONSIVE. THE POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED, WHICH CAUSES THE DOOR LOCK TO STAY ENGAGED EVEN AFTER UNLOCKING THE CAR USING THE REMOTE FOB AND USING THE POWER LOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR IS TO MANUALLY FLIP THE INTERIOR DOOR LOCK SWITCH. THIS IS THE SECOND POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR TO FAIL, AND MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 93,000 MILES ON IT. THE POWER DOOR LOCKS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR, AND DOORS THAT STAY LOCKED ARE AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA CHARGES $298, PER ACTUATOR, MAKING COMPLETE REPAIR CLOSE TO $1,200. MY GUESS IS MOST PEOPLE WOULD CHOOSE TO LIVE WITH THE ISSUE RATHER THAN PAY THE HIGH REPAIR COST, BUT THEY DON'T THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THEY ARE UNRESPONSIVE, THE CAR IS IN FLAMES, AND THE DOORS WON'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. I SPOKE WITH HONDA CORPORATE ABOUT THE ISSUE, AND THEY PROVIDED NO RESPONSE. THEY JUST SAID "WE DOCUMENT YOUR CALL." VERY FRUSTRATING.

BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR. I NEVER GOT A RECALL NOTICE. HAVING TO ADD A QT OR BETTER A WEEK. JUNE 12 IT STALLED OUT ALL THE WAY HOME FROM WORK. THAT WAS A SUNDAY. JUST CHECKED THE OIL ON THURSDAY. OIL WAS OKAY IN THURSDAY. ON SUNDAY NO OIL TO SHOW ON DIPSTICK. BURNT AT LEAST 3 QTS IN LESS THAN 200 MILES! DRAINED WHAT LITTLE OIL WAS LEFT. CHANGED FILTER AND PUT NEW OIL IN. STILL WOULD NOT RUN. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND IT RAN BETTER BUT STILL HAS A SLIGHT MIS. DTC P0303. THE DEALERSHIP DELETED THE CODE AND SAID IT WASN'T A CODE IN THERE. WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I HAD IT READ BEFORE I TOOK IT THERE AND HAVE A PICTURE OF IT. THE PAINT HAS BEEN CHIPPING OFF FOR OVER A YEAR, NOT WHERE ROCKS HIT. PLACES THAT ARE CURVED OR ROUNDED. EDGES OF THE ROOF OR FENDER. IT'S ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. HONDA DOESN'T STAND BY EITHER OF THESE ISSUES. NEVER AGAIN WILL I OWN A HONDA. THE CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL AND IT IS NOT SMOKING. THE OIL IS GOING SOME PLACE. AND THAT IS CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY CAR. NOT TO MENTION THE DAMAGE THAT'S ALREADY BEEN CAUSED. A SOFTWARE UPDATE DOESN'T FIX THE DAMAGE THAT'S BEEN CAUSED ALREADY.

THE PAINT FALLS OFF AND TURNS YELLOW. THE CAR IS GARAGE KEPT AND I ONLY USE HIGH QUALITY CAR WASH MATERIALS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL FOR A SIX YEAR OLD GARAGE KEPT CAR TO CHANGE COLORS AND THE PAINT FALL OFF. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR THEY SAID.

MOON ROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 15 IN 65 DEGREE WEATHER HERE IN SAN DIEGO. SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD EXPLOSION. NO CARS WERE CLOSE TO ME. ONLY THE MOON ROOF WAS AFFECTED, NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE CAR ROOF OR ELSEWHERE. CAR ONLY HAS 75,000. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. !ST ALL OF MY DOOR LOCK FAILED, NO THIS!!

PAINT STARTED TO CHIP AND IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. HONDA HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND WILL BE TAKING THE VEH TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY

WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY I AM HAVING WATER LEAKAGE FROM THE HEADLINER RIGHT ABOVE WHERE THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSING MY SEATS TO GET WET ALONG WITH THE HEADLINER TO BE SOAKED LEAVING A WATER STAIN ONCE DRIED. *TR

ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD, OCCURRING ON ALL FOUR DOORS, THE WINDOW SWEEPS ARE MELTING. THESE ARE THE STRIPS THAT KEEP WATER FROM RUNNING DOWN, INTO THE DOOR WELLS FROM THE CLOSED WINDOWS. THE RUBBER STRIPS WERE REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM. LAST FALL, THE NEW SWEEPS STARTED TO ALSO MELT DOWN TO A RUBBERY TAR-LIKE CONSISTENCY. I COMPLAINED TO HONDA ABOUT THIS DEFECT TO NO AVAIL. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW SWEEPS AND FOR THEM TO BE INSTALLED. THE IMPRESSION THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE SERVICE PERSON WAS THAT IN WARMER CLIMATE AREAS THIS IS A PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT THE NEWER HONDA VEHICLES ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS AND HONDA IS NOT CONCERNED WITH THE SITUATION. I HAVE HAD TWO OTHER OLDER HONDA VEHICLES IN THE PAST IN THE SAME LOCATION. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 4, ANTIOCH, CA. MY WIFE AND I HEARD THIS LOUD EXPLOSION ON THE ROOF OF OUR CAR. SCARED THE[XXX] OUT OF US. WE PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY, GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE ROOF. THE SUN ROOF WAS COMPLETELY BLOW OUT WITH GLASS EVERYWHERE. LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF. NOTHING HIT US, THE FREEWAY WAS REALLY CLEAR. IF WE HAD OUR INSIDE TOP PANEL OPENED, GLASS WOULD HAVE COME RAINING DOWN ON US AND WE COULD HAVE PANIC AND GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SOMEONE COULD HAVE REALLY GOTTEN HURT OR KILLED. OUR CAR IS LIKE BRAND NEW. ONLY 13,300 MILES AS WE DON'T DRIVE IT THAT MUCH. WE DROVE TO OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP, ABOUT A MILE AND HALF AWAY AND THEY KEPT THE CAR AND FIXED IT. THEY TOLD US THEY KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED SOONER THAN LATER BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. A REAL DEFECT IN THIS DESIGN. THE WEB SHOWED A LOT OF THIS THING HAPPENING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING HE LET DOWN THE REAR WINDOWS AND A LOUD NOISE AND ROLLING VIBRATION OCCURRED *TGW THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE AERODYNAMICS OF THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. *JB
