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!!!
2012 Honda Accord wheels complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Passenger side tire kept loosing air , we kept airing it up no luck we found out the wheel has a bubble . Now the driver side is doing the same the same . No accident a ruff driving!!
I was driving down market street in youngstown when I was almost obstructed by another vehicle, I swerved and was struck by another vehicle my air bags did not deploy at 40mph and she was going 25mph. There was a recall on the side air bags, my back and neck hurt as well as my passenger. American honda said there were not defects...
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 to the honda service department. This time they reset the computer in the car and performed idle relearn procedure; adjusted the toe on all four wheels. They also found that the rear rotors were out of round and "machine rear brake rotors" but reused the brake pads. I do not feel safe in this vehicle. I have scheduled another service appointment for 8/28. However, I am still having the idle RPM, shifting problems, wheel vibration issues, steering problems, noise issues as well as several other problems. This manufacture should be forced to issue a recall.
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 tire because it was caused by a puncture. The manager said there is a break cable right above the tire and that is what caused the tire to rupture. Then offered to check the vehicle just in case but knew he knew they were not covering the tire. He offered me to only pay for the tire but will not charge for installation. Need help!!!
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 this is a common problem with these vehicles. Having owned 7 honda products in the last 16 yrs, this will be my last. One more visit after this and I will be seeking a lemon law claim on the vehicle. This is a huge issue as you can see on the internet. I am in the car business and this is far from within specifications from any vehicle I have ever driven and poses a definite safety issue for many vehicle owners.
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.
