HONDA IS SENDING OUT ITS CARS WITH THE REAR WHEEL CAMBER SET TO NEGATIVE 1 TO 2 DEGREES. THIS CAUSES THE TIRES TO WEAR OUT ON THE INSIDE EDGE AND THE REAR TIRES DO NO MAKE PROPER CONTACT WITH THE ROAD. THE FRONT CAMBER IS USUALLY SET TO ZERO (IE STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN FOR THE TIRES).

HONDA IS SENDING OUT ITS CARS WITH THE REAR WHEEL CAMBER SET TO NEGATIVE 1 TO 2 DEGREES. THIS CAUSES THE TIRES TO WEAR OUT ON THE INSIDE EDGE AND THE REAR TIRES DO NO MAKE PROPER CONTACT WITH THE ROAD. THE FRONT CAMBER IS USUALLY SET TO ZERO (IE STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN FOR THE TIRES). THE SMALLER CONTACT PATCH NOT ONLY WEARS OUT THE TIRE EDGES BUT MAKES A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE TIRES WEAR DOWN AND THE CONTACT PATCH DECREASES. ROTATING THE TIRES ONLY MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE. I REQUESTED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AT ZERO MILES AND AGAIN AT 6K WITH THE REQUEST THAT THE REAR TIRES BE SET TO ZERO CAMBER. AT 30K MY TIRES ARE WORN OUT ONLY ON THE INSIDE EDGE AND I AM REQUESTING A THIRD WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHICH NOW WILL COST 600 DOLLARS OR MORE TO FIX HONDA'S PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE CAMBER PROBLEM MAKES THE CARS SUSCEPTIBLE TO SPINNING AROUND IN ICY WEATHER DUE TO THE DIFFERENCE IN TIRE PATCHES. THIS IS WORSE ON AN ICY ROAD. HONDA OTHER THAN THE LOCAL DEALER WILL NOT TALK TO ITS CUSTOMERS...... *TR

I PURCHASED A 2012 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX-L IN DEC. 2011. I NOTICED A STEERING SHIMMY/VIBRATION AND AN ESCALATING GRINDING NOISE IN AUGUST 2012. I ORIGINALLY TEST DROVE THIS VEHICLE THOROUGHLY WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND NEVER NOTICED THIS PROBLEM UNTIL AUGUST 2012. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN ISOLATED THE NOISE TO A FAILED LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING. THEY REPLACED THE BEARING AND GRINDING NOISE HAS GONE AWAY BUT CONTINUE TO HAVE SHIMMY/VIBRATION AT 55 -75 MPH AND IS MOST NOTICEABLE/AMPLIFIED BETWEEN 60 - 70 MPH. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK AND HONDA TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THAT THE TIRES WERE BALANCED CORRECTLY. I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND HE CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS A VIBRATION/ SHIMMY OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE HONDA DEALER TECHNICIAN THAN DROVE ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THEIR LOT THAT WAS THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL WITH 500 MILES ON IT AND IT DID THE SAME THING. HE SAID IT COULD BE THE ROAD. I SAID NOT EVERY ROAD OR HIGHWAY WHERE SPEED LIMITS ARE ABOVE 55 MPH WILL DO THIS TO A VEHICLE. HE SAID THAT IF MORE COMPLAINTS ARE FILED THEIR MAY BE A RECALL BUT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE HE COULD DO AT THIS POINT AND IF HE HEARD ANYTHING IN REGARDS TO A RECALL HE WOULD LET ME KNOW. THE TECHNICIAN LOOKED AT MY RIMS FOR ANY CURB DAMAGE WHICH THERE IS NONE AND I INFORMED HIM THAT I HAVEN'T HIT ANY CURBS. I WAS GOING TO GO BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS CONSTANT PROBLEM BUT THOUGHT I WOULD RESEARCH ON-LINE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY OTHER 2012 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS HAVING THIS PROBLEMS AND THERE IS SO I SEE NO NEEDED TO MAKE AND WAITED TRIP TO HONDA DEALERSHIP. SINCE I DRIVE 60 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK FIVE DAYS A WEEK THIS IS GETTING TO BE VERY IRRITATING AND NOW THE LOWER PART OF MY ARMS HAVE DEVELOPED TINGLING/NUMBNESS SENSATION AFTER DRIVING FOR THESE LONG PERIODS OF TIMES. *TR

I NOTICED NOISE, WHEEL VIBRATIONS AND STEERING PROBLEMS. THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT I HAD A BAD WHEEL BEARING ON THE LEFT SIDE AND REPLACED IT. AFTER I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK FROM THE SHOP, I NOTICED THE CAR WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT, WHEEL VIBRATIONS, LOOSE STEERING WHEEL AND MAKING NOISE. THE CAR DID NOT SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS PROPERLY AND FLUCTUATED BETWEEN RPMS RANDOMLY (EVEN WHEN AT IDLE). I TOOK IT BACK TO THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS TIME THEY RESET THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR AND PERFORMED IDLE RELEARN PROCEDURE; ADJUSTED THE TOE ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT THE REAR ROTORS WERE OUT OF ROUND AND "MACHINE REAR BRAKE ROTORS" BUT REUSED THE BRAKE PADS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE SCHEDULED ANOTHER SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR 8/28. HOWEVER, I AM STILL HAVING THE IDLE RPM, SHIFTING PROBLEMS, WHEEL VIBRATION ISSUES, STEERING PROBLEMS, NOISE ISSUES AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR
