WHEN DRIVING MY 2011 HONDA V6 ELX, PURCHASED 1/21/15 I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN INTERMITTENT HESITATION IN MANY SITUATIONS. WHILE SLOWING IN TRAFFIC,AT A STOPLIGHT OR SIGN,MAKING A LEFT TURN, THERE IS A ACCELERATION GAP. THIS OCCURS WHEN I'M READY TO GO AND REACH SPEEDS UPWARD OF 15-40 MPH, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. THERE'S JUST NOTHING AT THE PEDDLE. I MUST LET OFF AND QUICKLY RE- APPLY THE PEDDLE AGAIN WHEN IT FINALLY ACCELERATES! NOW THAT I'VE READ THESE COMPLAINTS I SEE SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED RIGHT AWAY! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR SOME OTHER SITUATION WHILE IN MOTION. IT'S OCCURRED AT INTERSECTIONS WITH NO 4 WAY STOP SIGNS, ALSO IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3 LANE BUSY BOULEVARD WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. HOW MANY ACCIDENTS MUST OCCUR BEFORE YOU PURSUE THIS?THIS NEEDS A RECALL INVESTIGATION. OTHER THAN THIS, THE VEHICLE HAS NO OTHER MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL ISSUES.
THIS CAR CURRENTLY WITH 20349 MILES.I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR OVER 50 MI.ALL OF SUDDEN THERE'S NO POWER STEERING.I MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME IN FEW MILES. I CHECK THE STEERING FLUID STILL FULL.PLEASE CHECK IS THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME RECALL WITH 2007 HONDA ACCORD MODEL??

MY HONDA ACCORD 2 DOOR COUPE'S SUNROOF SHATTERED WITH NO EXPLANATION WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN A SMALL CITY HIGHWAY. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS MY LARGE REAR WINDOW BUT WHEN I LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING BEHIND ME I COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS MY SUNROOF. I DID NOT HAVE IT OPEN AND THERE WAS NO CAR OR TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME TO EXPLAIN THIS "EXPLODING SUNROOF". I WAS CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS APPROACHING BEHIND ME AND ALSO FOR MY SAFETY SO I PULLED OVER AND LEARNED THAT MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. I HAD TO GET TO WORK SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THIS WAS VERY SHOCKING AS I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH AND THE "EXPLOSION" COULD EASILY HAVE KILLED A DRIVER THAT MAY HAVE LESS "NERVES" OR HEALTH ISSUES THEN I, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL MY EMOTIONS AND PULL OVER SAFELY WITHOUT HURTING MYSELF OR ANYONE AS THERE WAS A CAR NEXT TO ME AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO PASS BY IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS A CONCERN FOR ME AS I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUNROOF TEMPERED GLASS IS COMING THINNER NOW IN ORDER TO MAKE THE AUTOMOBILE LIGHTER. THIS DEFINITELY HAS TO BE ADDRESSED AS I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ITEM THAT ARE BEING PUT IN AUTOMOBILES AND COULD POSSIBLY ENDANGER THE PASSENGERS AND OTHERS NEAR AN "EXPLODING" SUNROOF AUTOMOBILE AS GLASS WAS "FLYING" OUT AND MAY HAVE HURT ANYONE CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING THIS UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE SUCH AS MINE. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND EVEN IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN, I HATE TO THINK "WHAT IF" THEIR WINDOWS WERE OPEN AND SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING OUT FROM A CAR WITH A SHATTERING SUNROOF HIT THEIR EYES OR ANY PASSENGER OR EVEN A PEDESTRIAN THAT MAY HAVE BEEN NEAR THE CAR AS THE WIND WAS ALSO VERY STRONG THAT MORNING THAT THIS HAPPENED TO ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH ALL AUTOMOBILES WITH SUNROOFS. THOSE READING THIS SHOULD ALSO "GOOGLE" OR WATCH "YOUTUBES" ON EXPLODING SUNROOFS!!

I HAD AN SRS LIGHT ON AT 44000 MILES AND TOOK IT INTO HONDA, FIGURE IT WAS A SAFETY THING THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. HONDA WANTED TO CHARGE ME 100 DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I TOLD THEM NO. THEY THEN TOLD ME THEY WOULD TALK TO HONDA TO WAVE FEE. HONDA PAID FOR DIAGNOSTIC CAME BACK WITH CODE INDICATING CABLE REEL ISSUE. HONDA SAID IT WOULD BE 545 DOLLARS TO REPLACE AND IF IT DIDN'T GET REPLACED IT MAY CAUSE ISSUES WITH AIRBAG INFLATOR AND MAY NOT INFLATE IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I TOLD THEM THIS WAS A HONDA SAFETY PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE IT. THE NEWEST ROUND OF RECALLS WERE FOR ACCORDS 2008-2010. I GUESS I WILL JUST WAIT AROUND UNTIL MY CAR EVENTUALLY GETS RECALLED UNTIL THEN CROSS MY FINGERS I DON'T GET IN AN ACCIDENT.
THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2011 HONDA ACCORD JUST EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS OF AUTOMOBILES AND THAT THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE IS DEFECTIVE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WIRES. WE WERE MOVING ABOUT 5 MPH ON A CITY STREET
SUNROOF EXPLODED. COST OF REPAIR TO GLASS AND REPAINTING ROOF, DECK LID,ANTENNA, SPOILER, AND RIGHT QUARTER PANEL WAS OVER $2,400. CAR HAD 61,000 MILES ON IT. DRIVING WITH CRUISE SET AT 70 MPH AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AT 9:30 A.M. WAS 63 DEGREES.
