    Takata recall my 2012 honda accord has consistent vibration/shimming while driving on the highway at 60+mph. I bought the vehicle used from a honda dealer in january of 2017. I replaced all 4 tires and had them balance but the problem persist and honda of america isn't willing to help. I have read many testimonies on line about the same issue and no help from honda usa.

    Tire inflation meter are too expensive for simple flat repairs. Consumer rip off caused but government regulations required tires to have pressure sensor and warning lights. Each tire has an expensive $80 sensor that easily leaks or gets bumped by mechanics. It cost me $200 to stop the leaks and warning lights. On first look, sounds like a nice idea but in practice companies are ripping us off doing simple nail…

    I have vibration on steering wheel beyond speed of 60mph. The thread depth on the front tires is 9.5/10 on both the sides. The thread depth on rear tires is 5 on both the sides. At the dealership i was told that there are flat spots on the tire. It was worked upon for wheel balancing. However the vibration exists. Is such a vehicle safe to drive with a child? How safe is the vehicle situation? Does honda american…

    Honda is sending out its cars with the rear wheel camber set to negative 1 to 2 degrees. This causes the tires to wear out on the inside edge and the rear tires do no make proper contact with the road. The front camber is usually set to zero (ie straight up and down for the tires). The smaller contact patch not only wears out the tire edges but makes a safety hazard as the tires wear down and the contact patch…

    There is a sound coming from the left front tire that sounds like a wheel bearing. Had the michelin tires checked, and they found them to be ok. Took it to honda dealership, they could hear the thumping on some roads, but not all roads. There is still the thumping sounds. Replaced the tires with another set of michelins at 30,000 miles and the thumping sound is still there!!! *tr

    While driving 65 mph the rear passenger tire blew up. It was an experience never felt before. I felt safe driving this car until now. I took the vehicle for inspection at the dealership and they were no help. When i told them about the tire, it seem that they already knew how it happened. Immediately the manager came to check under the tire and within 30 seconds of inspection said they were not able to replace the…

    I noticed noise, wheel vibrations and steering problems. The honda service department said that i had a bad wheel bearing on the left side and replaced it. After i received the car back from the shop, i noticed the car was pulling to the left, wheel vibrations, loose steering wheel and making noise. The car did not shift between gears properly and fluctuated between rpms randomly (even when at idle). I took it back…

    The vehicle has a shimmy at highway speeds in excess of 50 mph. It doesn't matter what the roads are like as many in my area are brand new, the vehicle is not safe and has a significant vibration at highway speeds. The vehicle will be going back to honda for the third time and i have had the wheels balanced, front end aligned, and i am now going in for a road force balance. There are many issues reported on line and…

    I was driving approx 35 mph on a bridge that consist of concrete then metal grading. It was raining medium and the vehicle seem to slide on the metal grading towards a nearby car in the next lane. I believe this is due to the type of footprint the tires installed by the factory. I believe there will be an accident with these type of tires and honda should replace with a different type asap. *tr
