When I start my car, I hear a rattle sound for 1-2 seconds. It only happens when the car has been off for about 3 hours. It used to happen once in awhile and now everyday. I searched online and a lot of people say it’s the “engine’s variable timing control actuator” or VTC.

I have a 2011 Honda Accord V6 coupe. At approximately 11:39 hours on 8/15/2023 my car lost all steering and brakes and spun violently multiple times across the highway. Thankfully the car did not impact another vehicle and ended up on the side of the road in soft sand. A scan tool revealed a trouble code for a failing or fault within the VSA modulator. This module controls both the brake system and stability control in one unit. At the time of the above aforementioned incident 2 warning lights were on the dash for the following: ABS and Stability control. The Arizona Department of Public Safety responded to the incident. I file this complaint because the safety of other drivers and myself were placed in serious jeopardy.

MY CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN 2011. THE CAR WOULD RUN SLUGGISH. I TOOK IT IN FOR SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS. I COMPLAINED IT WAS A DEFECT FROM THE BEGINNING. FINALLY THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE RATTLING SOUNDS. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD I HAD AN OIL LEAK. I WAS FURIOUS AND TOLD THEM THAT IT IS THAT SAME [XXX] PROBLEM I HAD FOR 7 YEARS. MY CAR HAS 80000 MILES. THE DEALER THAN TOLD ME I NEEDED TO CHANGE TRANS OIL. I BEEN BRINGING IN MY CAR FOR MAINTENANCE FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS AND NEVER DID ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT OIL LEAKS AND TRANS OIL ISSUES. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SLUGGISH PERFORMANCE AND THEY COMPLETELY IGNORED THIS ISSUE. THEY KEPT THE CAR AND FINALLY FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM MY CAR HAD FOR 7 YEARS. IT HAD A BAD TIMING BELT. I TOLD THEM IT WAS A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED THROUGH MY WARRANTY. THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME DEFECTED! THE DEALER TOLD IT WILL NOT COVER THE COST TO FIX IT. I PAID FOR IT AND NOW THE CAR RUNS PERFECT. I AM WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE I SHOULD NOT HAVE PAID TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR HAD A DEFECT FROM THE BEGINNING. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE. AGAIN I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALER DID NOTHING TO HELP ME. I AM GOING TO WRITE TO HONDA AND COMPLAIN ALSO TO THEM. I WAS MISTREATED AND WAS PUNISHED BY PAYING FOR A DEFECTIVE PART THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND WILL BE WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. HAVE A GOOD DAY.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOESN'T SNAP BACK INTO PLACE AFTER USE. I USE IT TO HELP PROTECT MY EYES FROM THE SUN WHILE DRIVING, OR TO HOLD UP THE SUN SCREEN WHEN PARKED. INSTEAD OF SNAPPING INTO PLACE AFTER USE, IT DANGLES DOWN ABOUT 2" IN FRONT OF MY FACE. I'M OVER 6' TALL AND THE DANGLING VISOR CAN BLOCK BY VIEW. HONDA HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE CIVIC MODEL A FEW YEARS BEFORE AND THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T FIXED THE POOR DESIGN.
