TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD CROSS TOUR. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL, INCLUDING THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD PULSATE UPON ENGAGING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE VIBRATION WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,153. UPDATED 01/13/12*LJ

VEHICLE EXHIBITS A WHINING NOISE AT 50 55 MPH. IT SOUNDS LIKE A GEAR NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR REAR AXLE. MY VEHICLE HAS 7000 MILES ON IT NOW AND THE NOISE HAS BEEN ALWAYS THERE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND I AM CONCERNED THE NOISE EXHIBITS A POTENTIAL FAILURE RESULTING IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. *TR

HAD A PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL WHEN GETTING OFF FREE WAY ON OFF RAMP , TRYED TO STOP USING BRAKE BUTT CAR WAS SILL ACCELERATING . HAD TO APPLY BRAKES VERY HARD TO SLOW CAR DOWN GOT CLOSE TO END OF RAMP HAD TO PUT CAR IN NEURTAL AND THEN SAW THE TACK JUMP UP 6000 RPM AND BACK DOWN TO 700 RPM ALSO AT SAME TIME WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING OUT ALL SIDES OF CAR. SMOKE COULD HAVE BEEN FROM BRAKES OR HIGH RPMS ON ENG. CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF. TOOK CAR TO DEALER THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM.

ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2010, UPON OPENING THE TRUNK, THE REAR CARGO AREA COVER DROPPED DOWN AND HIT MY FOREHEAD LEAVING A LARGE BRUISED LUMP. TODAY IS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2010 AND I STILL HAVE PAIN AND HEADACHES. THE COVER WAS COMPLETELY UNHOOKED WITH NOTHING HOLDING IT SAFELY IN PLACE. THERE IS NO LOCKING MECHANISM FOR THE REAR CARGO AREA COVER. IT APPEARS THAT THE SIDE HOOKS BECAME UNHOOKED (PRESSURE FIT ONLY) AND THE "MOUNTING PINS' ARE AS THE FLETCHER HONDA SERVICE MANAGER SAID, ONLY FOR GUIDANCE AND ALIGNMENT. NOT TO PROVIDE SUPPORT OR KEEP THE REAR CARGO AREA COVER IN PLACE. THERE IS NOTHING TO PREVENT THE REAR AREA CARGO COVER TO NOT FALL OUT AND DOWN. AND WHEN EXPLAINING TO FLETCHER HONDA'S SERVICE MANAGER ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2010 THE PROBLEM AND UNHOOKING ONLY ONE SIDE HOOK, THE COVER FELL DOWN ON THAT SIDE FIRST, THEN THE OTHER SIDE HOOK UNHOOKED AND THE ENTIRE COVER RELL DOWN. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAYS HE HAS NO ABILITY TO CHANGE DESIGNS, HOWEVER, HE SAID HE WILL PASS THIS INFORMATION ONTO HIS HONDA REP. I WAS GIVEN A 1-800 NUMBER TO CALL. TODAY, NOVEMBER 30, I CALLED AND THIS INFORMATION IS TO BE GIVEN TO A HONDA CASE MANAGER WITHIN 1-2 BUSINESS DAYS. ALSO - PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS FILED -- 10368291. I PROVIDED THE WRONG VIN AS I WAS LOOKING AT OUR BUICK'S INSURANCE CARD, NOT THE HONDA CROSSTOUR. CORRECT VIN IS SUPPLIED WITH THIS REVISED COMPLAINT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD CROSSTOUR. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH THE SUNROOF EXPLODED AND SHATTERED CAUSING GLASS TO HIT OTHER DRIVERS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY PRESSURE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY STATED THAT SOMETHING HIT THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 8,000.

MY NEW 2010 HONDA ACCORD CROSSTOUR HAS THE SAME BRAKE PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED 2007 ODYSSEY. AFTER STOPPING IF YOU RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THAN LIGHTLY APPLY PRESSURE TO STOP THE CAR FROM ROLLING FORWARD THE PEDAL BECOMES SPONGY AND STARTS TO GO DOWN TOWARDS THE FLOOR. IT GOES DOWN ABOUT 2 INCHES LOWER THAN A FIRST APPLICATION. I HAVE HAD THIS REPORTED TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY SAY THEIR IS NO CURRANT FIX. PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW. I TRADED MY 07 ODYSSEY IN FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR
