We have classified the 2 complaints from 2011 Honda Accord about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING into the following categories.
We purchased a honda accord a little over a year ago. recently the air conditioning has failed and we were told by the honda dealer that "a rock probably damaged the condenser" as they found a leak. they refuse to cover it under warranty. they quoted us a repair cost of $841.88. upon inspection we found that there is no protection provided to the condenser to prevent this from happening. further, i researched and found that this is a known and continuous problem that honda has been aware of for years. there is no question it is a design defect. further, it is a safety issue that needs to be corrected a.s.a.p. heat stroke is a serious condition that can be deadly. please contact me at your earliest convenience regarding this, thank you. *tr
While driving at freeway speed (65) the engine would just lose power with no warning!! its been to the dealer three times now for this same issue. now no one in the family wants to drive the car. its just too nerve racking to guess when the car will lose power, or trust it for a long trip. the last time this happen we were almost hit by a truck as we were trying to get to the side of the road. *kb
I purchase a honda accord 2011 on 2/18/2011. i always get an oil change very 3000 to 4000 miles. the second time i took it in for oil change the tech told me there is a leak in the main rear seal area and that they need the for about two days. i didn't mind it due to that fact it was not the major repair like touch the engine, but soon after i receive a call telling me that they need to change the short block of the engine that's when i got concern. it a brand new car with a new engine and they already to place the short block engine ! i was upset. i only have the car only for about 3 month not and now i'm paying note for a new car but driving a rebuilt honda accord 2011. and the best part of my car now is an the steering wheel starting to shaking a little when it comes to a complete stop or in park. remind you my car was in for repair on 5/25/ to 6/8/2011 and the shaking started on 6/9/2011. i contacted the dealer and honda to see if they can get me in to another car, same model and everything. they both told me that can't because the car was a few month old and they would loss some money and once you sign that contract your sol and it not their problem.but they are willing to give me a accessories for that car for customer satisfaction. i guess one year from now when i when my car brake down that accessories would do great help. lol . no more honda for me!!! customer ser. suck. here is a list what they did to the car: "check and report on oil leak at engine area.troubleshoot oil leak. inspection indicated oil leak at rear main seal area.r/r transmission and inspect reare main seal= dry. inspection indicate leak at engine block assembly. re-install trans. remove engine/tran assembly from vehicle. replace engine sort block assembly. replace all related gaskets and seal. evacuate and recharge a/c system add coolant/ road test vehicle.". *tr
Wife was driving at highway speed when car began to violently shake as if engine was misfiring. check engine light came on, then severely reduced power. she was barely able to exit and make it across the access road and into a turn lane with the accelerator to the floor. car still shook violently as she placed it in park. dealership cannot explain shaking. car only has 4,700 miles and was purchased new from servicing dealer. they said oil was 1.5-2 quarts low so they topped it off. tripped a code for a stuck solenoid in the camshaft timing system so they reprogrammed the pcm and gave the car back to us. this was an extremely dangerous situation as my wife did not have enough power to move the vehicle out of traffic. had there been more traffic in her way or someone following closely, she would have been in an accident. dealer was still puzzled as to the power loss and shaking and just shrugged their shoulders. they said to watch the oil level and if this happens again to bring it back. we hope this does not happen again as it was dangerous and stranded my wife on the side of an interstate for 3 hours waiting on a tow truck. please let us know if this warrants investigation or you need any additional information. *tr
