2018 Honda Accord Hybrid complaints

ON MY WAY BACK TO HOME IN SAN DIEGO CA IN LATE JAN 2019 THE PANEL STARTED SHOWING WARNING SIGNS LIKE BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT ON, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL/ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION/LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) LIGHTS ARE ALL ON SAYING FAILURE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME FOR MY AROUND 2000 MILES ACCORD HYBRID. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS ABLE TO RESOLVE BY RE-POWER ON THE CAR BUT SECOND TIME IT WAS COMPLETELY FAILED. THEN I WENT BACK TO DEALER THE OTHER DAY AND IT TURNED OUT THE MULTIPURPOSE CAMERA DID NOT WORK PROPERLY UNDER RAIN AND LOW TEMPERATURE (IT WAS JUST TYPICAL SAN DIEGO WINTER) SO THEY REPLACED ONE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE EVERYWHERE. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT THE AUTO-HIGHBEAM STARTED WORKING AS WELL, BEFORE I DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT WAS NOT WORKING. SAME WARNING SIGN LIKE THIS VIDEO: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=-_NFU2HPNGC

HONDA ACCORD HYBRID 2018 WITH 7439 MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BACK HOME FROM WORK . SUDDENLY CAR STARTS TO FLUSH MESSAGES THAT ALL CAR SYSTEMS FAILS AND IT NEEDS TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. CAR STOPPED TO RESPONSE TO CONTROLS INCLUDING ACCELERATION AND STARTS TO SLOWS DOWN FROM 70 MPH TO 25 MPH. AT THAT TIME I REALIZED THAT THE ONLY OPTION WOULD BE TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER. I DID IT TO BE ABLE TO STAY AWAY FROM TRAFFIC AND CALL EMERGENCY SERVICE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 75 MINUTES I WAS TOWED AWAY TO NEARBY DEALERSHIP (MANCHESTER HONDA, CT). AS OF THIS MORNING I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION FROM THEM. I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED ON CAR BEHAVIOR AND THINK THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR CAR WITH 7439 MILES AND ONLY 7 MONTH OLD.

HAVE A PROBLEM STEERING BINDING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH WHILE MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO STAY IN LANE. IT SEEMS TO BE MOST NOTICEABLE 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE AND TEMP BELOW 35 DEGREES. MOVING LEFT OR RIGHT IT GETS HARD THEN CUTS LOOSE THEN YOU NEED TO OVER CORRECT BACK TO STAY IN CENTER. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN CENTER LANE. WAS OK FIRST 5000 MILES.

I'M BARELY REACHING CLOSE TO 6000 MILES AND I'M ALREADY HEARING CLUNK SOUNDS ON MY SUSPENSIONS WHEN I SLOWLY GO INTO A DIP OR DRIVE ACROSS A BUMP, NOW SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE THIS RATTLING SOUND WHEN I ACCELERATE BETWEEN 2000-3000 RPMS AND SOMETIMES WHEN I REMOVE THE PARKING BRAKE AND GO REVERSE THE BRAKING SYSTEM WOULD RANDOMLY BRAKE ON ME VIOLENTLY AND PUT IT ON PARK. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT 84 MILES.

FIRST 7,000 MILES GOT 47 MPG, HONDA DID BACK UP CAMERA SOFTWARE UPDATE, AND MPG DROPPED TO 42, THEN 38, AND NOW 34, ON ALL THE SAME TYPES OF DRIVING. ELECTRIC ENGINE HARDLY RUNS AND NOT NEARLY AS MUCH AS EARLIER. SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE TEMPERATURE, THE COLDER THE TEMPERATURE, THE LOWER THE MPG.

STEERING WHEEL STICKS AT 12 O'CLOCK, THEN FINALLY BREAKS FREE TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AFTER APPLYING SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE. THE RESULTING JERK OF THE VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN STRAIGHT TRAVEL. HONDA DEALER IDENTIFIED THE STEERING GEAR BOX BINDING AND REPLACED IT. THE REPAIR RESOLVED THE ISSUED. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A BULLETIN OR RECALL ON THIS FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER OWNERS.

BOUGHT 2018 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID NEW JULY 2018. INITIAL TANK OF GAS MPG 56! EVER SINCE MPG IN 30S. GAS ENGINE RUNS CAR 90% OF TIME! EV MOTOR RARELY COMES ON! ESSENTIALLY NOT A HYBRID! GAUGE FOR HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY ALWAYS AT (3) OUT OF (10) BARS - NEVER FULLY CHARGES! OWNER'S MANUAL SAYS LOW LITHIUM ION BATTERY CHARGE CAN SHORTEN LIFE OF LITHIUM BATTERIES! HONDA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE PURCHASED SAYS, "WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE HYBRIDS."!!! HE SAYS "WINTER GAS" LOWERS THE GAS MILEAGE"! I SAID ITS A HYBRID, 'WINTER GAS' DOESN'T AFFECT THE ELECTRIC MOTOR! HONDA DEALER SAYS AGAIN THAT THEY DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HONDA HYBRIDS! 1. IS MY NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID HIGH VOLTAGE LITHIUM BATTERY DEAD OR DYING ALREADY? 2. WHY DOESN'T THE EV MOTOR COME ON? ISN'T IT SUPPOSED TO BE A HYBRID? 3. WHY DOESN'T HONDA INSTRUCT DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ON HOW HYBRIDS WORK? 3. WHY DOESN'T HONDA SUPPORT ITS OWN HYBRID MODELS?

I AND MY WIFE JUST ENTER IN HIGHWAY 70 WEST TOWARDS INDIANAPOLIS,NEAR 156 EXIT.. I HEARD BIG SOUND WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY OBJECT. MY CAR WAS VERY HARD TO BALANCE AND LUCKY I SUCCEEDED TO SAFE OUR SELF.THE BUSTED SOUND FROM DRIVER SIDE OF PASSENGER WHEEL. THIS CAR HAS NEW AND BOUGHT ONLY 2-3 MONTH AGO.AND ONLY 3300 MILES I CALLED TOWS BY THE HELP OF POLICE AND T I KNEW WHEN VISITED BODY WORKSHOP.MY WHEEL RIM ( PASSENGER SIDE - BEHIND DRIVER SEAT) WAS BUSTED WITHOUT TOUCH ANY OBJECT. I DIDN'T SEE ANY AIR PRESSURE SIGN OR ANY PROBLEM BEFORE THIS BUSTED. THIS LOOK SERIOUSLY MANUFACTURED PROBLEM IN THIS CAR RIM AND WHEELS IN 2018 HONDA HYBRID. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST FOR RECALL AND INVESTIGATE CAR ALL WHEEL INCLUDING RIMS AND TIRES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND TIME TO RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

YESTERDAY(01-13-2018) AROUND 5.45 PM WHEN I AM MY WIFE JUST ENTER IN HIGHWAY 70 WEST TOWARDS INDIANAPOLIS, I HEARD BIG SOUND WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY OBJECT. I CALLED TOWS BY THE HELP OF POLICE AND TODAY I KNEW WHEN VISITED BODY WORKSHOP.MY RIM WAS BUSTED WITHOUT TOUCH ANY OBJECT. I DIDN'T SEE ANY AIR PRESSURE SIGN OR ANY PROBLEM BEFORE THIS BUSTED. THIS LOOK SERIOUSLY MANUFACTURED PROBLEM IN RIM AND WHEELS IN 2018 HONDA HYBRID. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST INVESTIGATE THIS CASE.

WHILE DRIVING THE DISPLAY AUDIO PORTION OF THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF RANDOMLY AND RESTART, OR FREEZE, THEN SHUT DOWN, AND RESTART. THERE IS SOMETIMES AN AUDIO WARNING (BEEP) OFTEN TIMES IT WILL JUST RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN. I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT NO FEWER THAN 8 TIMES WHILE DRIVING SINCE AUGUST. IT HAS HAPPENED IN BOTH CITY DRIVING AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. IT ALWAYS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. MOST INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED WHEN USING MY MOTOROLA G5 PLUS CONNECTED VIA USB AND USING ANDROID AUTO FOR DIRECTIONS, HOWEVER, NOT EVERY INSTANCE. THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE BOTH DONE A FACTORY RESET ON THE HEAD UNIT IN THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS HAD IT SERVICED FOR THE RECALL AND THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS.

THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT A SMOOTH TRANSITION FROM 12 O'CLOCK TO 1 O'CLOCK OR TO 11 O'CLOCK. IT IS AS IF THE PAVEMENT IS UNEVEN OR AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS STUCK AT 12 O'CLOCK. THIS IS NOT SAFE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN. IT HASN'T SNOWED YET BUT I WOULD IMAGINE IT IS GOING TO VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IT SAFELY IN THE SNOW WITH THIS MAJOR ISSUE.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WILL UNEXPECTEDLY SHOW THAT A TIRE(S) ARE UNDERINFLATED WHEN THEY ARE NOT. THE TIMES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLES WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH SPEEDS.

NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID MAKES LOW FREQUENCY "BUZZING" NOISE WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE SEVERAL HOURS AFTER 30 MINUTES OR MORE RIDE. BUZZING NOISE NOT HEARD IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE SHUT OFF. NOISE NOT HEARD UNTIL SERENDIPITY ACCESSING GARAGE AT LEAST TWO HOURS AFTER ENGINE SHUT OFF. MULTIPLE OCCASION "BUZZING" SOUND LOCATED IN TRUNK WHERE LITHIUM BATTERIES ARE!

FAILURE OF FRONT CRASH MITIGATION, LANE DEPARURE MITIGATION SYSTEM WHILE CAR IS MOVING. SUDDEN DECELERATION FROM ENGINE TO ELECTRIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

PARKING SENSOR DESIGN FAILURE. THE PARKING SENSOR ALARM INTERMITTENTLY GOES OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING 5 MPH OR LESS, SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING. THIS FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM IS A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER CAUSING THE DRIVER TO STOP WHAT HE/SHE IS DOING TO IDENTIFY THE ALARM. NORMALLY, THIS WOULD NOT BE AN A MAJOR ISSUE, HOWEVER, WHEN STOPPED WAITING TO TURN LEFT FROM ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC WITH LITTLE TO NO MEDIAN, ONCOMING TRAFFIC WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO CONSTANTLY GO OFF DISTRACTING THE DRIVER. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND SITTING BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE, THAT THE SYSTEM WILL AGAIN GO OFF INDICATING THE DRIVER IS ABOUT TO HIT AN OBJECT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS COMPLETELY STATIONARY. I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM AND THE SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED THIS WAY. THIS SYSTEM IS A DISTRACTION TO DRIVERS AND VERY LIKELY COULD CAUSE SENSORY OVERLOAD TO DRIVERS IF NOT CORRECTED.

I DON'T KNOW IF MY PREVIOUS REPORT WENT THROUGH, SO THIS IS A SECOND ATTEMPT! WITHIN A WEEK OF GETTING THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE WE NOTICED A SEVERE WINDSHIELD PROBLEM! WHEN WE TURNED INTO THE SETTING SUN, THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD LOOKED LIKE SHATTERED GLASS! IT SEVERELY HAMPERED VISION TO THAT SIDE. WHEN WE TURNED THE OTHER DIRECTION, IT LOOKED NORMAL! IT HAPPENED AGAIN, UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY. THE HEAD OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN 30 + YEARS! HE COULD SEE THE PROBLEM WITH A FLASHLIGHT! HE SAID WE NEED A NEW WINDSHIELD, THAT THE ORIGINAL ONE IS DEFECTIVE . I WILL ENCLOSE PHOTOS.
