COMMON HONDA PROBLEMS

The Honda Accord and the Honda Civic are some of the most popular cars over the last decade. Known for their durability and reliability at a good price point, Hondas are known to last beyond 100,000 miles without many problems. But every vehicle, no matter the make and model, encounters repair problems. We’ve researched some of the common Honda problems and here is what we found.

Excessive Oil Consumption

One trend among common Honda problems was an issue with excessive oil consumption in models with V6 engines. Initially, Honda mechanics tried to blame owner driving habits and maintenance neglect, but eventually Honda was forced to admit the problem in a class action lawsuit in 2013. Honda reached a settlement with customers with V6 engines in the 2008-12 Accord, the 2003-13 Odyssey, the 2009-13 Pilot, the 2010-11 Accord Crosstour and the 2012 Crosstour.

Transmission Failure

Transmission slippage, poor shifting, skipping, or failure may occur in some Accords, usually at over 70,000 miles. Repair might require a transmission overhaul or complete replacement

Power Door Lock Failure

Your Accord’s power door locks might activate intermittently on their own, usually on vehicles with over 105,000 miles. Also, the remote door lock control might not function properly. If your vehicle is equipped with an alarm, you might have problems with it going off due to a door lock malfunction.

Dashboard Display

Other common Honda problems with vehicles over 100,000 miles was the dimming and eventual complete darkening of the car’s dashboard display. This can be a big safety issue during nighttime driving as the entire display is unreadable, including odometer, radio and climate controls. This problem is often caused by a faulty circuit board.

Vibration When Braking

This problem typically is caused by warped front brake rotors. Some owners describe this as a rattling, shaking, or rubbing sensation. Accords with over 98,000 are more likely to experience this issue. In some cases, the rotors can be machined as a fix. If too thin, the rotors will require replacement.
