SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM INDICATOR WAS BLINKING ON AND OFF, NOW IT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. DEALER SAID THAT THE SRS COMPUTER WAS NOT COMMUNICATION WITH THE RESISTANT SYSTEM AND THE FIRST STEP IS TO CHANGE THE SRS COMPUTER.

I JUST RECEIVED A WARRANTY EXTENSION FROM HONDA AND I AM JUST ABOUT CLOSE TO THE 125,00 MILEAGE THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO. IT IS A SHAME THAT THEY ARE CONTACTING ME ABOUT THIS YEARS LATER.

I AM IN A DILEMMA PERTAINING TO MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD. I LIVE IN CANADA BUT I PURCHASED A DEMO MODEL FROM UNITED STATES. DURING THE LAST FIVE YEARS I HAD FOUR INCIDENTS OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE BRAKING. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR STOP SIGN, THE CAR SUDDENLY GOES INTO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITH RPM RUNNING OVER 4500. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE AND CHANGED THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL. THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV AT HIGH SPEED DESPITE NOT PRESSING ON ANY PEDALS, AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE WHILE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL AND THEN SWITCH IT ON AGAIN AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN P GEAR. I AM 100 % CERTAIN THAT THESE INCIDENTS ARE NOT RELATED TO DRIVER ERROR AS IT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. I PHONED AMERICAN HONDA AND HONDA CANADA AND BOTH BRUSHED ME OFF AND DENIED EVER HEARING ABOUT IT. THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO ISOLATE THIS FAULT AS IT RARELY HAPPENS (4 TIMES IN FIVE YEARS).I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY ESPECIALLY IF MY WIFE OR MY DAUGHTERS ARE DRIVING. I WILL BE GRATEFUL IF YOU CAN LET ME IF OTHER DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED A SIMILAR INCIDENT FOR HONDA AUTOMOBILE. I ALSO NEED SOME ADVICE ON HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS. IS THIS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM?

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER EXITING I CHECKED FOR ERROR CODES (AS I ALWAYS CARRY THE P-CODE READER WITH ME). THE CODE STATED THAT CYLINDER 3 WAS MISFIRING. I DOUBLE CHECKED ALL SPARK PLUGS TO MAKE SURE THE CONNECTIONS WERE OKAY. THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON, WITH A ROUGH IDLE, AND ENGINE CODES STARTED TO BE MORE SPONTANEOUS AS IT STATED RANDOM MISFIRES/MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRES. I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA AND WAS TOLD THAT I LIKELY NEED TO REPLACE THE IGNITION COIL, SO I DID THAT AND STILL EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I THEN TOOK IT TO A SHOP WHERE THEY ALSO SUSPECTED BAD IGNITION COILS. THEY THEN DID A VALVE ADJUSTMENT AND WAS POSITIVE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER PERFORMING THAT JOB, THE CAR CONTINUED WITH THE SAME ROUGH IDLE BUT ONLY POPULATED THE ERROR CODE STATING CYLINDER 3 IS MISFIRING. THEY TOOK OUT THE SPARK PLUG AND IGNITION COIL ON CYLINDER 3 AND DISCOVERED A CRACKED INTAKE VALVE. I'VE SPOKEN TO AT LEAST 10 SHOPS, 2 HONDA SERVICE DEALERSHIPS, AND 2 PERSONAL MECHANIC FRIENDS THAT ALL STATE THAT A BROKEN INTAKE VALVE AT 107K IS VERY UNUSUAL AND LIKELY A RESULT OF POOR DESIGN. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR ALL V6 HONDA ACCORDS BETWEEN 2008-2012. UNFORTUNATELY THE 2010 V6 6 MT IS ONE OF THE FEW MODELS LEFT OUT OF THAT LAW SUIT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD A SHOP START ON THE REPAIRS AS I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THEM DONE ASAP. I FIGURE AN UNLIKELY EVENT LIKE THIS IS DUE TO POOR ENGINE DESIGN SINCE I HAVE THOROUGHLY KEPT UP WITH ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE (SPARK PLUGS, TIMING BELT, WATER PUMP, OIL CHANGE, ETC..). I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS 2000$ DOLLAR REPAIR.
