I bought this car brand new in 2012 and to date have had repairs to either replace or resurface rotors with new brake pads 3 times now. It's unreal and very costly. Clearly there is an issue and honda should do a recall, that's excessive. The first time was when the car was barely 2 years old. Who has to replace rotors in a car that's so young and i'm continuing doing it. It's 2018 and i'm up to 3 times now and only…

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.

I was in a crash yesterday 04/18/17 at around 4:55-5:00pm due to my brakes not reacting as they should and stopping my car. I rear ended a car because of this and my front of my car is completely totaled. I have filed a claim with my insurance, but this was a frightening experience. My airbags did not deploy, and noticed that my seatbelt had unfastened after the incident. I was driving on the freeway, and was in…

The 2012 honda accord lx has 24000 miles on it. And the right front pads completely wore out. All others pads on car was ok. I replaced front rotors and pads on front. Makes a noise now when brakes are applied. Rotors and pads normally last 60000 miles. What is up with the 2012 accord. Any recalls on the brake system?

Mother-in-law needed to replace a 1996 honda. She test drove a 2012 honda accord lx. Noticed a shimmy in steering wheel when brakes are applied. I also drove it but didn't immediately notice it. She purchased it, even with the "shimmy". I later noticed it when driving alone. It's barely noticeable and there is no accompanying noise. A google search showed some hondas of the time have warped rotors that may cause…

I have honda accord 2012. At mileage 15k dealership informed me i need to replace rear tire break pad. Honda didn't accept any defect part or break system. I replaced pads by my own money. Now at mileage 44k i am informed by dealership that my front and rear tire pads need to be replaced. It is clear to me something is wrong with break system and could cause safety issue in future. Please follow up with car…

Soon after, i had necessity to brake suddenly on the freeway and i discovered that the front end shook violently when braking at 55-60 mph! I felt a dread to tell the dealer due to previous issues…

Pulled into a vertical parking space, applied brakes and the car accelerated hitting a tree and causing front end damage. Fifteen minutes previous to this accident, while stopped at a red light in drive & with the foot on the brake pedal, i noticed the engine revving as though one was stepping on the accelerator. Found this weird but did not think anything of it until after the accident. *tr

When transitioning from braking back to accelerating there is sometimes a significant lag in the car responding which makes it very dangerous when making a left turn across oncoming traffic. The lag is inconsistent sometimes not at all and sometimes it seems like a few seconds. I believe honda has a problem in the software that controls the response time from braking to accelerating. The car is usually slowing to a…
