2012 Honda Accord wheels problems

Filed Feb 10, 2026 · Wheels · RI

I have bought three Hondas and leased one, I still have a 2012 Sedan and 18 months ago the car stopped in the middle of the road, thankfully no one hit us. The axle was broken and had to be repaired. Today [XXX] the car just stopped driving in a horrible round about [XXX] . The police and fire men, thank God helped to push the car out of the way into a parking lot. Talk about stress, the round abouts are a horror show, with more accidents than ever and a car just STOPS driving. Well now we are being told the axle is broken. What in [XXX] is wrong, I looked on-line and many people have made complaints about broken axels on their Honda's. You have to do something, someone could have gotten killed and I would like a call back. [XXX] [XXX] .

I just saw the new Honda Civic recall for wheels falling off and it reminded me to report this. On January 6, 2022 I was driving down I-29 from Grand Forks to Fargo and about 60 miles into my trip I thought I had a flat tire. I pulled over at the next exit and found I was missing 3 lug bolts and nuts, 1 lug nut with the bolt still attached, and my wheel was hanging on by just 1 lug bolt + nut. It looked like 3 or the bolts sheared off while I was driving. There was absolutely no prior warning or indication before this happened. I was doing about 75 mph and, from what I remember, it was about -20f outside. I had my car towed to a local mechanic, Tuffy Tire and Auto Servicr, and they fixed it. If my tire fell off at 75 mph I almost certainly would’ve ended up hitting another car or going into the ditch. The problem hasn’t been reproduced by a local dealer, but the Tuffy Tire and Auto Care in Fargo, ND should still have records/invoice about my service. My Honda accord has been inspected by Rydell Honda in Grand Forks, ND and they should have records of my lug nuts coming loose because I brought it in multiple times and I think they had to order a part for it. Another time, I think in late 2022 or 2023, I had my tires rotated at Rydell Honda in Grand Forks, ND and I drove about 90 miles and my lug nuts came loose on one wheel. I had to pull over and tighten them, but there was damage to the wheel. I believe Rydell Honda has records about this incident as well.

Purchased june 13, 2020.. Shortly after noticed it's light on dash was on.. I have just become aware what it is, it is still on all the time.. Within a week or two I got an oil change and they suggested I get 2 new tires and a flange on the exhaust would need repaired soon.. A few weeks ago I purchased 2 new tires upon returning home front flashers only began to blink intermittently it continues to do this occasionally.. I called discount tire that same day and they didn't know if anything had to be reset so I have been continuously looking for answers so now I have come across the recalls and common problems. The TPMS. Light came on after a 2 hour drive home and all tires were 10-12 lbs pressure low.. What is going on..

Steering issues, wheezing noise from the steering when starts the engine and in motion. Steering often becomes stiffs when in motion. Problems identified since the first day driven out of the lot. It has been fixed at least, four times now by honda, but the problem still persists. The stiffening of the steering occurred on 8nov2019 again.

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 fixes. The mechanics weaking, purposely loosen the value and say it is our car's computer problem. Please do not required cars to have these monitors. Thanks for listening. Sounds like the lobbyist are creating money grabs. Regards john

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 know about the problem? I did some search and reading on the internet for the defined problem, model year and components. It is noted that there are others as well with same issue which has resulted into uncomfortable and potentially life threatening driving conditions. I don't think dealership should be responsible.

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 decreases. Rotating the tires only makes the problem worse. I requested a wheel alignment at zero miles and again at 6k with the request that the rear tires be set to zero camber. At 30k my tires are worn out only on the inside edge and I am requesting a third wheel alignment which now will cost 600 dollars or more to fix honda's problem. I believe the camber problem makes the cars susceptible to spinning around in icy weather due to the difference in tire patches. This is worse on an icy road. Honda other than the local dealer will not talk to its customers......
