| I was driving up i-95 north in about woodbridge, virginia at about 60-65mph. suddenly, i heard a noise that sounded like a gun shot and a loud wind sound as if the window was open. i pulled over on the side of the road and pulled back my sunroof shade, come to find that the entire sunroof glass was completely shattered. i immediately put the shade back and drove home and immediately called my insurance company. i did not witness anything hitting my car, the only thing that i could determine is that i had my heater turned on high because it was so cold that day. my assumption is the extreme temperature differences and pressure that caused my sunroof to shatter. | |||

| Since the first incident i have had a clicking noise coming from the ac on the right side vent on my 2009 honda accord. it is october of 2011 and the dealer has now replaced the same blower motor 3 times. it alleviates the issue, only for it to return. the dealer has no other explanation. also, i have replaced 2 door actuator motors. this car was bought in december of 2009 and it is october of 2011. i will not buy another honda due to having issues occur repeatedly and so soon after a new purchase. obviously brakes have to be fixed again and again. | |||

| I bought two honda's on the same day from proctor honda in tallahassee, fl. the 2009 accord has been recalled for a safety defect.. i contacted the dealer i bought them from and was told via e mail they would not have time to make that repair until 11-7-2011 or later. i was just at the dealer getting an oil change and they were working on every kind of car the us makes. it is not a recall if they decide to assign insufficient resources to correct this. it is an unsafe joke! this repair takes one hour or less according to another family member that had it done in jacksonville. | |||

| A noise has developed in our 2009 honda accord in the dash, where the passenger side and right side a pillar air bags are located. the car has been returned to a local dealer on 3 seperate occasions. they continue to repair the problem by installing some type of padding in the dash. after each repair, the noise returns after driving about 10 miles. i have asked them on two seperate occasions to remove the dash/air bags and inspect the effected areas. i have also reported the problem to the honda customer assistance department. they have indicated they will review my information and have someone call back. my concerns are; that something is loose, creating the noise, along with the fact that some type of problem may exist with the air bags which could result in either an unwanted/non deployment situtation or if something is rubbing on a wiring harness a passenger compartment fire. | |||

| 2009 honda accord 4 cyylinder, 22k miles-original owner accelerator got stuck and car continued to accelerate on the on ramp to i-64 in louisville, ky. tried to downshift, even tried neutral. engaged the brakes and the brakes locked up. eventually the brakes released and i was able to coast to a median in the middle of the highway. very thank i didn't hurt anyone. took car to the honda dealership and they say that their diagnostic test shows that nothing is wrong. nothing registered on the car computer. i am 100% certain that the pedal was not caught on the floor mat. one of the most frightening experiences of my life. i will be buying a new car immediately. | |||

| Brakes were squeaking within the first six months but we were told nothing was wrong when taken in for regular warranty-covered checks. started noticeable shimming when brakes were applied and took in for check at 39,000 miles. ended up replacing rotors, brakes and rear bearing. the rear bearing alone cost $198. all in all, our bill came to $667.73. we've taken the car in to the dealer for repair of carpet pulling away in front passenger side; vibration noise on back dashboard (or whatever you'd call the shelf behind passenger seats); driver door handle stick problem, steering wheel clicking noise. purchased honda after being recommended by so many satisfied customers/friends. invested more then we planned but thought it was worth the investment; disappointed in quality of parts and repair work. | |||

| Upon leasing a 2009 honda accord i noticed an audible squeaking sound emitted by both rear brakes. this sound is clearly heard when brakes are applied and vehicle's speed is below 25 miles per hour. i returned to dealer and was reassured that this was normal for new brakes on honda accords and that over time the sound would stop. at this point, the car was at less than 1,000 miles. i currently have 22,000 miles on the car and i was informed that the rear brakes are worn to 2 mms. similarly front brakes are prematurely worn and are measured at 6 mms. after researching the issue online i have found thousands of other customers who are experiencing an identical problem with the 2008-2009 honda accord braking system. honda is offering a replacement of rear brakes, but cannot guarantee wether this will solve the issue. | |||

| I have a 2009 honda accord. i began having problems with the a/c not cooling, so i took to the dealership for assesment. i was informed that a line was not working and i had a freon leak. they placed dye in the fluid to determine where the leak originated. they determined it was coming from the condenser. this part is located in the grill of the car and isn't protected in any way and they decided it had been damaged, without proof, from something i had hit, such as a rock. they then inform me that my full warranty does not cover it, and informed me it would cost $432.00 to repair. they also cannot guarantee that it will not occur again and again. the freon continues to leak and will not cool the car. it also causes a foul smell to come into the car. i do not believe consumers should be responsible for paying to replace a part that is put in a place that is vulnerable to debris or anything, without protecting it in some way. | |||
