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. *tr
The vehicle was backing up and when put in drive to park, the vehicle accelerated at a high rate of speed. i was braking as hard as i could and it went over the block causing damage to my car and hitting the building causing damage . this happened after filling my car up with gas the night before. i need to know if there is a recall on this.
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. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
I got my 2012 honda accord it had 8 miles on it. i have had several incidents while driving that the acceleration delays about five seconds it feels just like the car is not getting gas and then it kicks in. this usually occurs when i have slowed down or am taking off from a light turning. i have had that delay happen when ever i drive. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda accord. the contact stated that in colder weather, the fuel cap was extremely difficult to remove. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection but they were not familiar with the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified and advised the contact that in colder weather, the fuel would shrink and cause a vacuum, making it more difficult to remove the fuel cap. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 5,000.
The problem is that the vehicle hesitates after i start a turn, then have to stop, then when i want to accelerate again the hesitation occurs. this has occurred approximately 6 times in a 4000 mile period. the vehicle has always accelerated after hesitating but there is a noticeable hesitation which is cause for concern. i have read other comments about similar hesitation problems which seem to mirror my experience. i will ask the dealer about this problem when i next take the vehicle in for service. *tr
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.
