Front end or what

2006 Honda Accord Ex v6 3.0 289000 miles
When I accelerate from a stop my car studders between 2 and 3 gear I downshift and it stops. I also have a hiccup between 1500-2000 rpm the tach bounces. Don't know if it's related but it's getting worse. Also my steering is slightly sloppy and hard to backup at low speeds

Pulling and Chewing my Tires SolvedSolved

2015 Honda Accord 77638 miles
Why are my tires getting chewed up?
Looks like based on all these posting am seeing the trend. Accords not driving straight despite the alignments. Going to have to buy another set of tires for my 2015 Sport. Multiple alignments, front cambers replaced. Took it in for another alignment because of same noise and pulling and sure enough they are damaged too...the rear tires now are being chewed up which means another set of tires... the reason I invested in an Accord was its reputation of being a solid vehicle...I guess, I was wrong. Well, guess what product line I won’t be purchasing next?

Update: I had to buy 2 more New Tires (6-12-2021) for the rear side for the same reason despite alignments...Thank you Honda. !!!

I asked a gentleman at costco last weekend who has the same model I do only a white color and he too said the very same problem with his Accord- Sport. I wonder how many more victims are out there.
Ftbird47 from United States 5 years ago
I have a 2013 Accord Sport and do not have the alignment problem. I replaced oem tires at 40,000 miles, with wear being even. After retirement, drove car about 3,000 miles per year, and replaced that set after rubber had severe dry rot from age, with pretty even wear. Had an alignment done after those new tires, with read out showing red on all four corners. So, how do you get even tire wear with alignment off that much? If tires start wearing uneven, I will pay the Honda dealership that did the alignment a visit. Too bad Honda designed Accord suspension with most components not adjustable.

We need to call on Honda to recall or pay for the damaged tire now...

2014 Accord 6cyl EX-L V-6 4dr fix

2014 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 Sedan 3.5L 6A
I purchased this car new. And after a few weeks, i realized that the steering was pulling the car to the left, especially on the highway where it would take left curves in the road unassisted by me. I brought it back to the dealer 4 times, they gave it a few alignments, and since the problem still exists, they deny that there is any problem at all. The car is definitely a lemon, and i am wondering if other 2014 honda accord owners are experiencing a similar problem with the steering. This is a dangerous condition as i must be constantly vigilant or the car will go off the road to the left. I am trying to get some justice through the ny lemon law because honda ha taken my money and delivered to me a defective, dangerous car. *tr

I purchased a 2015 sport new at the time and it happen to me on the front and ruined my front tires. Honda service had me replace the front cambers and I purchased 4 new tires and now it’s the rear tires in less than 2 years. What the heck.

Check your tires for bumps or flat spots, this can cause pulling.
RMC044 from United States 8 years ago
My 2014 Accord has been misaligned since I bought it new with only a few miles. The first time I took it to a Honda dealer for service, the service guy told me, they couldn't do anything about it and that Honda was aware and was working on a fix. When I moved to another state and went to other Honda dealers to follow up, they said Honda never informed them of any issues. I've had to change my tires twice in 5 years and get several alignments. I will not buy another Honda.
eag2000 from United States 5 years ago
My brother has exact same issue with 2013 Accord. He found that on certain models, such as Accord, they began using a substitute part on the front end which causes this issue. Apparently, dealers are all too happy to continue charging for alignments and, despite a plethora of complaints to Honda, they have yet to issue a recall. Why? It is obviously because not enough people have been killed and they would take a major financial hit paying dealers to perform the corrective recall action.

Check Engine light/ CAT Code/ VSA

2010 Honda Accord 2 Door Coup V6 187064 miles
I recently bought this vehicle with the check engine light on and I asked him about it he said “nothing to worry about”, but I got it looked at and it was a CAT code; I was thinking about getting spark plugs replaced or looking into the O2 sensor before looking into the Catalytic Converter, but recently the check engine light started blinking and I thought to myself that it could be going into limp mode. But there is a VSA light indicator on my dashboard as well idk if it’s just a malfunction or I need to get an alignment but I need to know. As well I feel like my transmission is slipping.

Matt from United States 6 years ago
Sounds like you popped a head gasket or something similar. In any case-- you likely have low or no compression in one of your engines cylinders causing that extra piston to essentially become dead weight that's constantly in motion. This can create noises, but more importantly, it will dramatically reduce the life of the engine if it is not addressed asap

Problem Accord

2009 Honda Accord
2009 honda accord airbags didn't deploy with radiator wrapped around engine on a front end crash. The other vehicle was a jeep and was hit in the side and all the airbags were deployed. This was not a minor accident as they are thinking of totaling out the vehicle. My mother in law weighs around 100 pounds, but the airbags should have been deployed. She was taken to the hospital, with chest injuries. *tr

My daughter was driving her 2008 Honda Accord, she hit a tree, fence and flipped the car resulting in it hitting another tree and the drivers airbag never deployed. She died in the car accident and Honda takes no responsibility for this. If you seen her car you wouldn’t believe the air bag didn’t deploy- all the other airbags did but not hers. I even had the coroner say she had no signs of airbag deployment to her body and her injuries were consistent with no airbag deployed. The police report and first responders stated no airbag deployment yet Honda takes no responsibility for it. Just makes me wonder how many more lives will be lost before they own this and make it a recall.

Rattling clunk noise in front end at low speeds.

I have been hearing this rattling clunking noise coming from my front end when driving at speeds below 30 mph. It doesn't matter if any of the pedals are engaged or not. I hear the noise at low speeds only regardless of smooth or rough/bumpy surface. I have had the suspension done (front struts replaced), as well as my timing belt (really don't think that had anything to do with the problem, and I knew the suspension wasn't the issue as the noise does not happen when going over speedbumps etc.). They have "checked" everything ball joints, control arm, tie rods and no one can figure out what is… Read complete

Noise and vibration

2006 Honda Accord Euro 174000 miles
Would love some help. So firstly my car is getting a loud internal noise when I'm driving it almost sounds like a jet engine about to take off. Now the vibration occurs between 70-80km/hr so thinking I may need to replace drive shafts as this is a common problem but the loud internal noise is bugging me most. I've thought of wheel bearings and wear of the tyres. I have a sports tyre on and do a lot of distance travel. They are only 12 months old still plenty of tread. Just had an alignment two months ago. Has anyone experienced this internal noise and would it be related to drive shaft?????

My vehicle struck another vehicle in front of me from behind. Airbag lights came on yet did not deploy. Impact caused damage to my chest by the seatbelt. It caused a tissue expander implanted in my right breast to be damaged and ripped out the places stitched to me. The te was there as part of a breast cancer reconstruction process. Surgery was required to remove and replace the te. The front end of the vehicle was damaged, sensors needed replacement, and seatbelt structure also needed replacement.

Fix 2012 Honda Accord LX

2012 Honda Accord LX Sedan 2.4L 5A
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… Read complete

Spouse turned engine off, started it back up and power steering reset. Took it to the dealer. Did diagnostic and determined :
diagnose eps system per isis. Found faulty torque sensor. Replace complete power steering rack and perform alignment. After reading other similar complaints, i am hopeful that this will not happen again. It is extremely dangerous when this happens.

Car is pulling to the left at moderate to high speeds and it's driving me crazy because i travel 90% highway and it's not a safe situation. The car is a 2014 accord ex-l 4 with only 1160 miles. I'm beginning to suspect the goodyear tires that came with it as i drove the v6 version which comes with michelins and i didn't experience any pulling. I also drove another new ex-l 4 cyl with goodyear tires and it pulled just like mine does. It's not pulling because of the crown in the road. I've been driving cars for 20 years and never experienced anything like this. Been to shop under warranty three times. 1) adjusted tire pressure
2) full alignment
3) fresh set of goodyear fuel max tires. I don't think these are good tires but they are oem. *js
