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 recourse I could take with the airbags not deploying when I had the recall done 5 years ago at my local Honda dealer. Thanks [XXX] PS.. Cherokee Auto in North Atlanta Georgia has the car for sale with the faulty airbags… CarMax repossessed it, sold it for more than I owed them, wrote off $6500 as bad debt, and still say I owe them 750 and staying on my credit report.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in the driveway, the contact attempted to start the vehicle, but the vehicle would not start. The contact self-diagnosed the vehicle with a code reader which showed that the MAP sensor needed to be cleaned. The contact cleaned the MAP and mass airflow sensor, however, the failure recurred. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that the fuel pump relay in the driver's side cabin was in a stuck position. The contact replaced the main PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injector) fuel pump relay.

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 having processed what had occurred, it is believed the car malfunctioned and accelerated forward on its own. It is a miracle no one was seriously injured. This could have easily been a very tragic story instead of a miracle. This complaint is being submitted in hopes that something like this does not happen again.

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 want this model to be included in the recall listing since accord recalls for gas problems are historically declared in the pilot, odyssey acura(2015-2016), 2012 civic and 1983,1984,1985,1986,1987,2005,2013 accords. Gas related issues should be the utmost concern for a manufacturer and the historical relevance of this matter should be addressed with this case as well.

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 acceleration I am assured the car will not stall on take off. This is the only safe way to drive this car in this condition.however, it is not normal by no means. Thank you for reading and hope this isn't happening to others but certainly needs to be considered for recall if others are having problems. Many possible situations where this could cause accident and injury to driver, passenger and others in front of the car.

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 they spoke with honda's technical service department, who acknowledged the problem exists for other 2012 accords and stated that they have no resolution at the time. Lastly, despite widespread occurence of this problem, honda has yet to recall the vehicles to remedy this issue. I have owned this vehicle for over two years, which was purchased brand new, and this problem has been recurring every single time I have attempted to open the fuel door. The problem is significant in that it restricts ability to fuel the vehicle.
