VTC ACUATOR IS FAULTY. FOR 2 YEARS NOW I'VE HAD A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I START THE CAR AND NO CAR SHOP HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG UP UNTIL YESTERDAY I FOUND OUT IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR THAT'S MAKING THE GRINDING SOUND AND IT'S BEEN DRAINING MY OIL. I CALL AMERICA HONDA TO SEE IF IT HAS A RECALL FOR THIS FAULTY PART AND ALL I AM TOLD IS THAT IF I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 3 YEARS OR UNDER 35 THOUSAND MILES THEN IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHICH THE CAR IS 2012. SO THE $700 THAT ALL SHOPS WANT TO FIX THIS PART IS BEING PUT ALL ON THE OWNER WITH NO WARNING THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS HAD A LAWSUIT BEFORE FOR THE EXCESSIVE OIL BEING LOST BUT NOT FOR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WHICH IS THE VTC ACTUATOR. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THE CARS THAT THEY HAVE SOLD WITH THE FAULTY VTC ACUATORS AND PAY FOR THIS MISTAKE THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS. WHEN MY ENGINE DIES IT WILL BE ON HONDA FOR NOT PROPERLY MAKING AND SELLING THESE FAULTY CARS.

THE STARTER OF MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD SPORT FAILED. MY CAR HAS 72500 MILES. HONDA HAS CLASSIFIED THIS A PREMATURE FAILURE CAUSED BY DEFECT, BUT HAS FAILED TO RECALL THE STARTER. THE STARTER THAT FAILED IS MADE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE STARTER FAILURE IS CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY CAUSING SERIOUS RISK. MANY HONDA CUSTOMERS HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH REPORTS OF STARTER FAILURE ON CARS WITH LESS THAN 30000 MILES. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS $800.00 AND HONDA HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR REIMBURSE THE COST OF THE FIX. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 2012 - 2017 HONDA ACCORD CARS WITH SIMILAR DEFECTIVE STARTER PART CURRENTLY ON AMERICAN ROADS, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO FAILURES AND ACCIDENTS.

IN 2016 WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW VISIBILITY WAS (SLIGHTLY) DISTORTED AROUND THE DEFROSTER LINES. AT THAT TIME I WAS DOWNSIZING FROM A HONDA ODYSSEY, SO I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST MY EYES PLAYING TRICKS WITH ME BECAUSE I WAS USED TO A LARGER REAR WINDOW WHERE THE DEFROSTER LINES WERE NOT SO CLOSE TOGETHER. THIS DISTORTION GRADUALLY GOT WORSE, AND AS OF JULY 2018, THE DISTORTION HAS COVERED THE ENTIRE WINDOW. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WITHIN THE GLASS ITSELF SEPARATING AND CAUSING RIPPLES. THE WINDOW STILL HAS THE HONDA STAMP ON THE GLASS, SO ITS FACTORY TINTED AND INSTALLED, THIS ISN'T AN AFTERMARKET WINDOW AND IT.

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
