THE MECHANISM FOR RELEASING THE FUEL DOOR IS A LATCH/BUTTON LOCATED INSIDE THE VEHICLE NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR. DEPRESSING THE MECHANISM IS SUPPOSED TO RELEASE THE EXTERIOR FUEL DOOR SO THAT GASOLINE CAN BE FILLED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANISM DOES NOT WORK. UPON REPEATED PRESSING OF THE BUTTON, THE FUEL DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. EVENTUALLY, PRYING A FLAT OBJECT INTO THE SPACING BETWEEN THE FUEL DOOR AND THE BODY IS REQUIRED TO RELEASE THE FUEL DOOR. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AT MILE HIGH HONDA FOR THIS PROBLEM TWICE (THE LATEST SERVICE OCCURING ON JANUARY 2, 2015) AND IN BOTH INSTANCES THE TECHNICIANS, WHILE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR IT. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2012 MODEL ACCORDS AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM OR FIX IT. FURTHER, THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THEY SPOKE WITH HONDA'S TECHNICAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM EXISTS FOR OTHER 2012 ACCORDS AND STATED THAT THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION AT THE TIME. LASTLY, DESPITE WIDESPREAD OCCURENCE OF THIS PROBLEM, HONDA HAS YET TO RECALL THE VEHICLES TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER TWO YEARS, WHICH WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE FUEL DOOR. THE PROBLEM IS SIGNIFICANT IN THAT IT RESTRICTS ABILITY TO FUEL THE VEHICLE.

THERE SEEMS TO BE A FLAW IN THE 2012 HONDA ACCORD FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS THAT MAKES THEM SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT IT IS ACTUALLY PAINFUL. WHILE THIS MAY SEEM TO JUST BE A SUPERFICIAL MATTER, I BELIEVE THAT IT IS SERIOUS BECAUSE THE DISCOMFORT IS SO BAD THAT, WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER HAS TO SHIFT IN THE SEAT FREQUENTLY TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE THE DISCOMFORT. THIS CREATES A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. MOREOVER, AFTER DRIVING, THE PAIN IN MY RIGHT LEG AND BOTTOM IS SO BAD THAT IT CAN LAST FOR HOURS, IF NOT DAYS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SEATS ARE CAUSING PERMANENT NERVE OR MUSCLE DAMAGE. THE INJURY MAY NOT BE VISIBLE, BUT SOMETHING BAD IS HAPPENING. THE PAIN SEEMS TO BE CUMULATIVE BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE THE LONGER THAT I DRIVE THIS CAR. I THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THIS PROBLEM UNTIL I WENT ON-LINE AND DISCOVERED HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS POSTED ON SEVERAL WEBSITES. ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2013 I BROUGHT THE PROBLEM TO MY HONDA DEALER WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE. THEY SAID THAT NO SEAT DEFECTS WERE FOUND WHEN COMPARED TO THE SEATS IN ANOTHER VEHICLE OF THE SAME MODEL. BECAUSE THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, IN JUNE 2014, I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA HEADQUARTERS WHO ARRANGED TO HAVE THE CAR SEATS EXAMINED. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THEREFORE, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. I DON'T SUGGEST THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT; I AM STATING THAT THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THE SEATS. WITH THE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS POSTED ON-LINE, IT IS HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE THAT HONDA IS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE HONDA DOESN'T SEEM INCLINED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA GET INVOLVED AND HAVE HONDA CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

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

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WAS GOOD, BUT I HAD TO USE MANUAL POWER WHILE GETTING OUT OF PARKING SPACES, OR WHEN HAVING TO TURN WHILE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED.I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND HE TOLD ME I ADDED TOO MUCH FLUID AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY AFTER A WHILE. IT GOT WORST AND I TOOK IT BACK AFTER A FEW MONTHS. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT THE FLUID WENT DOWN TO THE CV BOOT AND THE STEERING RACK; THE QUOTED COST FOR REPAIR WAS $1350.00. BY THIS TIME MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. AFTER ASKING THE NEW DEALERSHIP FOR COST RELIEF FROM HONDA, THEY REDUCED THE COST TO $500, AND I FINALLY GOT THE STEERING PROBLEM REPAIRED ON 08/11/14. *TR

BOTH TIMES IT STARTED. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICED. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THIS WAS NORMAL. (NO. IT'S NORMAL FOR A CAR TO START WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY.) HE GAVE ME A COPY OF A HONDA "SERVICE NEWS ARTICLE" DATED "OCTOBER 2001" ENTITLED "STARTER RELAY BUZZES." IT READS, "IF YOU TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH VERY SLOWLY TO START THE ENGINE, ALL HONDA MODELS EXCEPT PASSPORT HAVE THIS LITTLE QUIRK: THE STARTER RELAY BUZZES.
