2006 Honda Accord Body & Structure Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE, BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BURNS HONDA (325 RT. 73 N., MARLTON, NJ) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT TRACK AND CLIPS WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

HI, MY ACCORD'S PAINT HAS BEEN PEELING SINCE APPROX. 1 YEAR AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE. IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE WINDOWS, THEN THE TRUNK, NOW IT IS ON THE TOP AND SIDES AND MORE AROUND WINDOWS. PEELED PARTS AROUND WINDOWS IMMEDIATELY, AND ON THE TRUNK IT STARTED AS SMALL CIRCLES, WHICH HAVE NOW SPREAD TO 50% OF THE CAR- IT IS GOING TO RUST AND THERE IS BARE BODY AND NOT ANY PAINT LEFT IN THESE AREAS. I HAVE MADE MANY ATTEMPTS, ALL WHICH THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PAINT- INCLUDING A $250 QUOTE FROM THE DEALER FOR THE TRUNK ONLY. RECENTLY, I TOOK MY CAR THERE FOR SERVICE AND THEY TOOK A GASH OUT OF MY PAINT IN THE BACK BUMPER SO I HAVE TO GET THE BUMPER PAINTED TOO NOW. SINCE THIS IS A NATIONWIDE DEFECT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE CSTMR SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE! PLEASE HELP! PS- THIS IS MY 2ND HONDA FROM THE SAME DEALER (DEALER WHO ALSO WONT HELP), AND IM ACTUA;;Y READY TO BUY A THIRD BUT AFRAID.

PAINT CLEAR COAT FAILED WITH WELL MAINTAINED PAINT.

I HAVE WHITE PATCHES ON MY BLACK HONDA ACCORD. I WENT FOR AN ESTIMATE (AT THE AUTO PAINT SHOP HONDA USES) ON A NEW PAINT JOB AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NO REASON MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE IN SUCH BAD CONDITION. THE WHITE SPOTS ARE ON THE HOOD, TRUNK, AND ROOF. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THERE IS NO WARRANTY AND NO RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE PAINT JOB. THE ESTIMATE STARTED AT 3500. I WENT FOR A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE 3 HONDAS SAME YEAR, SAME COLOR IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WEEK. *TR

RUST IS STARTING TO BUBBLE UP. *TR

WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A POWER STEERING HOSE RECALL THE DEALER FOUND TWO BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. MY HONDA ACCORD LX HAS BEEN MAKING A THUMPING NOISE ON ACCELERATION. ITS POSSIBLE THAT LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID HAS CAUSED THE DETERIORATION OF THE RUBBER IN THE MOUNTS. THE DEALER SERVICE REP SAYS THERE ARE 3 MOTOR MOUNTS ON THIS ENGINE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN HARD SINCE NEW. WITH 2 OF 3 MOUNTS BROKEN AT 66, 800 MILES IS A MATTER FOR CONCERN. THE 3RD MOUNT BREAKING WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO TWIST AND POSSIBLY START A FIRE OR TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE AXLES TO LOCK UP CAUSING A CRASH. OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS ON-LINE. *TR

THE PAINT IS COMING OFF TO THE PRIMER! I WAS BACK IN 2010 IT WAS WEATHER RELATED BUT WHERE IT STARTED CHIPPING I JUST DO NOT SEE HOW IT IS WEATHER RELATED!!!! EVERY HONDA I SEE MY YEAR MODEL DOWN THE PAINT IS COMING OFF. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR LATCH. THIS REALLY SCARED HER SO THAT WE SHE WALKED TO OUR HOUSE DOORS SHE WAS SHAKING. THIS IS A 2-DOOR COUPE AND SHE WAS SCARED AND ALMOST PANICKING. SHE ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE DOOR BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT OPEN IT. I INVESTIGATED AND THE REMOTE DOOR OPENER WAS WORKING. EVEN USED THE MANUAL KEY TO TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR BUT THE LATCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE TO OPEN THE DOOR. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THE SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND HAD AN ACCIDENT AND SHE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR? WHAT IF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE? THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WAY THE DOOR WAS DESIGNED. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE OTHER HONDA CARS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM NOT AWARE IF THE OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE ACTUALLY REPORTED THIS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ONLINE POST COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM... *TR

THE TRUNK LID, WHEN OPENED, DOES NOT ALWAYS STAY UP. OCCASIONALLY, AFTER THE LID HAS BEEN OPENED, IT WILL START TO CLOSE. IN AT LEAST TWO OR THREE INSTANCES, THE LID CAME DOWN AND HIT ME ON THE UPPER FOREHEAD. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE DUE TO A MARGINAL STRENGTH SPRING THAT MAY BE DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT OR A DEFECTIVE SPRING. *JB

WATER LEAKED INTO THE TRUNK DAMAGING SOME MATERIALS THAT WERE BEING STORED IN THE TRUNK. AFTER A TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP (THIRD TRIP FOR VARIOUS PROBLEMS), THE DEALERSHIP RETURNED THE VEHICLE WITH AN EXPLANATION THAT IT DID NOT LEAK WATER. I KNOW THE CAR DID INDEED LEAK WATER. I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THE TRUNK UP AND HAVE CLEARANCE TO SEE! I FEEL HONDA REPAIRED THE LEAK AND THEN RETURNED IT STATING IT DID NOT LEAK. THE PARTICLE BOARD COVERING THE TIRE IS WARPED NOW. SINCE HONDA CLAIMS IT DID NOT LEAK, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO. *NM

WATER WAS DISCOVERED IN TRUNK. OFFICE EQUIPMENT STORED IN TRUNK WAS DAMAGED. HONDA DEALER FOUND LEAK TO BE COMING FROM REAR WINDOW AND RESEALED THE LEAK. IN SERVICING THE VEHICLE THEY HAVE DAMAGED IT FURTHER AND IT HAS REQUIRED 6 TRIPS THUS FAR TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THEIR ERRORS. PARTS ARE ON ORDER AND UNFORTUNATELY WILL REQUIRE MORE TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. *JB
