2014 Honda Accord complaints

TRUNK OPENS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS TWICE A MONTH WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED, IT HAPPENED ONCE WHILE DRIVING. I CAN'T SECURE ANYTHING OF VALUE IN THE TRUNK, OR IF IT RAINS WATER WILL DAMAGE INSIDE TRUNK. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT ADJUSTER SWITCH MOUNTING PANEL HAS BROKE OFF TWICE. APPEARS TO BE A POOR DESIGN ON MOUNTING SYSTEM (CLIPS). *TR

I WAS GETTING SERVICE DONE ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC RECALL HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CRO/NEWS/2014/03/FREE-ENGINE-REPLACEMENT-FOR-2006-2009-HONDA-CIVICS/INDEX.HTM. I WAS GIVEN 2014 HONDA ACCORD AS A LOANER VEHICLE FOR THE PERIOD MY CAR WAS GETTING FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS FOR 3 DAYS. HOWEVER, ON JAN 6TH 2015, WE HAD SNOW IN OUR AREA AND THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS BELOW FREEZING. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE AND WHEN I LEFT FOR WORK ON JAN 7TH, I HAD BACKED OUT THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE AND WHEN I TURNED ON TO OUR STREET, I HAD NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL A BIT STIFF. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SNOW ON THE GROUND THAT HAD MADE IT LITTLE DIFFICULT TO TURN. AS I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE ON OUR STREET AT SPEED LESS THAN 10 MPH, I CAME TO THE FIRST TURN THAT I MAKE TO GET TO THE STREET LEADING UP TO THE MAIN STREET. AS I TRIED TO MAKE THE RIGHT TURN, I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN AND DUE TO SNOW IT STARTED SKIDDING TO MY LEFT. AT SPEED OF LESS THAN 15 MPH AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, THE VEHICLE SKID TO THE LEFT PAVEMENT. IT CAUSED MINOR SCRATCHES ON THE FRONT LEFT RIM AND CAUSED THE ALIGNMENT TO BE OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS A LOANER VEHICLE AND DEALERSHIP PROCEEDED WITH GETTING 'FRONT SUSPENSION' AND 'STEERING GEAR & LINKAGE' REPLACED THROUGH MY INSURANCE. IT COST ME $750 AS DEDUCTIBLE COST THAT I'VE PAID TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON RESEARCHING THIS EVENT FURTHER ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT SIMI

AS I WAS CHANGING LANE AT AROUND 45 MPH ON A SLIGHTLY BENDING RAMP (ARTHURSBURG RD) TO A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY (TACONIC STATE PARKWAY SOUTH BOUND, NEW YORK), MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS JERKED TO THE LEFT/RIGHT FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS. MY VEHICLE RAN FROM THE RAMP LANE TO THE SIDE OF THE INNER LANE. I WAS TRYING TO STEER AWAY FROM THE INNER LANE TO AVOID A CLASH WITH A MOVING SUV IN THE INNER LANE, BUT THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL. INITIALLY, IT SEEMS THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK EITHER. AT THE FINAL MOMENT, I PRESSED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD TO AVOID A CLASH WITH THE SUV IN INNER LANE. MY CAR STOPPED. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOT ANY VEHICLE AT OUTER LANE. ALL CARS BEHIND ME NOTICED THE SITUATION AND STOPPED. OTHERWISE, A MAJOR ACCIDENT WOULD OCCUR. *TR

WE SMELLED FUEL WHEN DRIVING TO CHURCH ON A SUNDAY. THINKING IT WAS SOME LEFTOVER FUEL SPLASHED, WE CONTINUED BUT THEN THE SMELL BECAME REALLY INTENSE. SO WE TURNED AROUND AND RETURNED TOWARD HOME. UPON ENTERING OUR STREET, SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STALLED TOTALLY OUT AND CAME TO A STOP IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! WE ROLLED IT OVER TO THE SIDE, IT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET; THEN STARTED CAR AGAIN AND WENT SLOWLY DOWNHILL TO THE HOUSE; CAR STALLED AGAIN JUST OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE, WE COULD NOT GET IT INTO DRIVEWAY, VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL; WE PUSHED IT TO GET IT PARKED ON THE STREET. TRIED AGAIN LATER THAT DAY TO START THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T START, VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL AND GASOLINE LEAKING ONTO THE STREET. CAR TOWED TO HONDA DEALER NEXT DAY; AFTER TECHNICIANS EXAMINED THE CAR THEY CONCLUDED "RODENT DAMAGE" TO THE FUEL LINE LEADING TO THE FUEL TANK. THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE DAMAGE AS IT "WASN'T MANUFACTURER DEFECT." ALSO CALLED NATIONAL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OPENED A CASE; BUT THEY WOULD NOT AGREE EITHER TO COVER ANYTHING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY WE WEREN'T ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE WHEN THIS SUDDENLY STALLED OUT, WE COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AS THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WITH NO WARNING! THE FUEL LINE LAST PORTION LEADING INTO THE TANK IS MADE OF RUBBER, IT IS NOT METAL OR HARD PLASTIC LIKE THE REST OF THE LINE AND THEREFORE SUBJECT TO SOMETHING SHARP PUNCTURING IT--WHICH IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN IN OUR VIEW. THE NEW PART THEY PUT ON IS SAME AS THE OLD, THE SAME THING COULD HAPPEN AGA

TRUNK OPENS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS TWO OR THREE TIMES A MONTH WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN BOTH KEYS ARE 50 FEET OR SO FROM THE CAR AND NO ONE IS NEAR THEM. OBVIOUSLY NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT DOES MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE ANYTHING OF VALUE IN THE TRUNK. HONDA REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WON'T HAPPEN WHILE THEY ARE STANDING THERE LOOKING AT THE CAR. SOME OF MY FRIENDS WHO OWN THE SAME TYPE OF HONDA ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (ROUGHLY ONCE A MONTH), I HAVE COME BACK TO MY PARKED CAR TO FIND THAT THE TRUNK IS OPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, INCLUDING AT HOME WHERE MY KEY IS HANGING ON A HOOK AND NOT IN MY POCKET (ELIMINATED ACCIDENTAL PRESSES AS A CAUSE). HONDA SERVICE CENTER REPLACED THE TRUNK LATCH AND CABLE, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS WERE TOO DIM AND IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN ON THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.

WHILE DRIVING MY NEW HONDA, I NOTICED AN ODOR SIMILAR TO A GAS SMELL, SORT OF LIKE A PILOT ON WITH NO FLAME WHEN THE HEAT IS ON, THE ODOR COMES AND GOES. THE ODOR IS SO BAD AT TIMES THAT IT UPSETS MY STOMACH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HONDA TO HAVE IT CHECKED IN NOVEMBER OF 2014, AND, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE ODOR ARRIVED FOR A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF TIME AND THEN DISSIPATED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM DOES STILL OCCUR. *JS

TRUNK LID POPS OPEN SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING OFF...RED LIGHT ON DASHBOARD COMES ON...I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND CLOSE THE LID MANUALLY. SAME THING HAPPENS ERRATICALLY IN PARKED CONDITION..HAVE NOTICED TRUNK LID OPEN AFTER RETURNING TO THE PARKING LOT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT FAIRLY OFTEN....HAVE CHECKED MY KEY FOR PROPER OPERATION. IT OPENS THE TRUNK LID AFTER PRESSING FOR A SECOND OR SO. *TR

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT WITH ONLY 5687 MILES ON IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID DRIVING OVER THE CONCRETE BARRIER. I HAVE RECENTLY NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, WHICH DISSIPATES AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY EXPERIENCE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2014 HONDA CIVIC EXL NEW IN FEB 2014, AND EVER SINCE NEW THE TPMS LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING ON, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE LATEST SOFTWARE AT THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP. EACH TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS, AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND OVER DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROADWAYS. I THEN CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA TO RESISTER A CASE NUMBER WITH THEM. HONDA AMERICA INSTRUCTED ME TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED AGAIN BY THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP, OVERNIGHT, SO THEIR TECHNICIANS CAN WORK IN CONCERT WITH THE DEALERSHIPS TECHNICIANS. WHATEVER THEY DID, DID NOT CORRECT THE SITUATION AS THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITHIN A WEEK. HONDA AMERICA THEN HAD ME BRING MY VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, AGAIN OVERNIGHT. ONCE AGAIN THE LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN A WEEK. HONDA AMERICA NOW TELLS ME, AFTER 10 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO REMEDY THE MALFUNCTIONING TPMS SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE.

I WOULD LIKE TO LODGE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CURRENT HEADRESTS IN THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD - I AM 5 FOOT 5 AND CAN'T SIT IN THE SEAT FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES WITHOUT EXPERIENCING NECK PAIN. THE HEADREST ANGLE IS TOO FAR FORWARD AND DOES NOT ALIGN WITH MY SPINE. IT PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD. IT BECOMES VERY PAINFUL OVER TIME, AND NO SEAT ADJUSTMENT CAN MAKE IT BETTER. I HAD THE PROBLEM IN THE 2013 4 DOOR SEDAN AND OE IN MY 2014 2 DOOR COUP. THE ONLY ADJUSTMENT IS HEIGHT. WHEN I LOWER IT TO PROTECT MY HEAD AND NECK I HAVE TO RECLINE THE SEAT WHERE I AM NOT COMFORTABLE. *TR

DEAR SIR OR MADAM, I WOULD LIKE TO LODGE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CURRENT HEADRESTS IN THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD (AND MANY SIMILAR SEDANS.) I AM 5 FOOT 3 AND CAN'T SIT IN THE SEAT FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES WITHOUT EXPERIENCING NECK PAIN. THE HEADREST ANGLE IS TOO FAR FORWARD AND DOES NOT ALIGN WITH MY SPINE. IT PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD. IT BECOMES VERY PAINFUL OVER TIME, AND NO SEAT ADJUSTMENT CAN MAKE IT BETTER. HONDA AND OTHER AR COMPANIES TELL ME THAT THE NHTSA REQUIRES THAT THEY INSTALL HEADRESTS AT THIS ANGLE TO ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST SAFETY RATING. BUT WHAT GOOD IS THAT IF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS ARE IN PAIN? I REALIZE THAT THIS ANGLE MAY WORK FOR PEOPLE TALLER THAN ME, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE BETWEEN 5 FEET AND 5'5 AND THE CAR COMPANIES NEED THE ABILITY TO MAKE ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTS, OR SELECTABLE HEADRESTS WITHOUT JEOPARDIZING THEIR SAFETY RATINGS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO HELP SUFFERING DRIVERS LIKE ME. (MY ONLY OPTIONS ARE TO REMOVE THE HEADREST ALTOGETHER, OR TURN IT BACKWARDS, WHICH SURELY IS NOT SAFE.) I TRIED TEN CARS BEFORE BUYING THE HONDA ACCORD. ALL THE OTHER HEADRESTS WERE EVEN WORSE! (ONLY EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE CARS AND MORE SEEM TO OFFER HORIZONTALLY ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTS. I CANNOT AFFORD A $50,000 CAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. PLEASE CHANGE THE GUIDELINES.

SIMILAR TO NHTSA COMPLAINTS #10619205, #10607907, #10655300, #10630708, AND #10628501. DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON INTERSTATE, GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A LARGE INCLINE AND BEGAN ACCELERATING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR, AND IT COULD NOT GET BACK IN GEAR. AFTER OVER 10 MINUTES, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON. ALTHOUGH I COULD FEEL THAT PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT FEEL THE SAME, AND IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS HESITATING AND STRUGGLING TO SWITCH GEARS UP AND ACCELERATE. ON 8/29/2014, AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE, WHILE AGAIN IN CRUISE CONTROL (ECO BOOST WAS NOT ACTIVE), GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, ACCELERATING UP A LARGE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE AGAIN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR, AND IT COULD NOT GET BACK IN GEAR. APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES LATER, WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL, GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ACCELERATING UP A LARGE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE AGAIN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING AND THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH A MESSAGE STATING ?FCW SYSTEM FAILED.? THE FCW INDICATOR LIGHT WAS LIT ON MY DASHBOARD, AS WELL AS THE LDW LIGHT, THE LOW TIRE PRESSU

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR HONDA ACCORD 2014 LAST APRIL 18,ON AUGUST ,SUDDENLY IT DIDN'T START,I CALLED AAA TO CHECK BATTERY BUT AAA SAID, ITS NOT THE BATTERY ITS MORE THAN THAT. MY CAR WAS TOWED FROM NY TO NJ -ROUTE 22HONDA(WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR),THEY DID SOME REPAIR-ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT,THEN LAST NOV.2,I HAVE DIFFICULTY IN STARTING THE CAR AGAIN,FINALLY AFTER SO MANY TRIES IT STARTED AND I BROUGHT THE CAR AGAIN TO ROUTE 22 ,THEY DID REPAIR AGAIN-SENSOR REPLACEMENT. YESTERDAY NOV 15,IT DIDN'T START AT ALL EVEN SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH THIS CAR ESPECIALLY WINTER IS HERE AND ITS NOT GOOD FOR MY JOB AS A NURSE. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

MY ACCELERATION CONDITIONS/PROBLEMS ARE IDENTICAL TO NHTSA ID #10607907 & SEVERAL OTHERS. UPON ACCELERATION THERE IS A SEVERE HESITATION TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STALLING BEFORE IT ACCELERATES. AT 15000 MILES IT APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A SERVICE REP THIS WAS COMPUTER CONTROLLED AND NOT CABLE CONTROLLED AS IN THE PAST. THERE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE A FIX TO THIS AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC. *TR

SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT CAUSES MUSCLE AND NERVE PAIN IN THE RIGHT LEG AND LOWER BACK PAIN AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES. THE SEAT ALSO AFFECTS THE SCIATICA NERVE. NO MATTER THE ADJUSTMENTS MADE ON THE SEAT, IT DOES NOT STOP. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET WITH THE 2014 ACCORD. *TR

ON OCTOBER 22 , 2014 I DROVE FROM MY HOME TO MY OFFICE, APPROX 30 MINUTES. THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS ABOUT FREEZING OR HIGH 30'S. BY THIS TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT GET HOT EVEN ON HIGHEST SETTING OF HEAT. IT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. I CALLED GWINNETTT PLACE HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON JUNE 1 2014. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR OVER TWO HOURS ONLY TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. ON THURSDAY NOVEMBER 6, THE HEATING SYSTEM WAS BLOWING COLD AIR AGAIN. ON SATURDAY I STILL FELT COLD AIR, SO I CALLED GWINNETT PLACE HONDA . THEY ADVISED ME TO GO TO ANY DEALER, SO I WAS CLOSET TO HONDA MALL OF GA . THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING BUT, WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE CAR FOR A LONGER TIME. I TOOK IT BACK TO GWINNETT PLACE AS IT WAS CLOSET TO MY HOME. ON THE RIDE IN WHICH IS ABOUT 20 MINUTES OR SO, THE HEAT WAS STILL NOT HOT.. HONDA HAS HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE MONDAY NOV 10,2014. AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HONDA REGARDING THE STATUS. IT'S 8:30PM EST ON THURSDAY NOV 13' 2014. *TR

RODENT DAMAGE TO GAS LINE, EMISSION SYSTEM, GAS TANK, AND NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS IN AN ACTIVELY DRIVEN CAR (NOT STORED). LEADING TO MAJOR GAS LEAK (HALF A TANK OF GAS IN A DURATION OF A STANDSTILL AT RED LIGHT) THAT PLACED DRIVERS, PASSENGERS, PEDESTRIANS, AND BYSTANDERS' LIFE AT RISK. WOULD'VE LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENDING IF EXHAUST WAS HOT. GAS SPILLED OVER STRETCH OF 2 BLOCKS, MAJORITY CONCENTRATING AT INTERSECTION BETWEEN HEATH AND MAIN ST. BUFFALO NY, WHICH REQUIRED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO CLEAN UP. 911 WAS CONTACTED FOR PATCHES OF FLAMMABLE GASOLINE, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN IGNITED FOR NUMEROUS REASONS LEADING TO FATALITY. REASON FOR FILING COMPLIANT. VEHICLE WHICH THIS HAPPENED TO WAS A BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD PURCHASED IN JUNE 2014. REPAIRS DENIED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND AMERICA HONDA. STATING ACCIDENT EVENTS LIKE THIS IS NOT COVERED, AND IS NOT A MECHANICAL DEFECT. TWO CONSERVATIVE REPAIR REQUIRED, STILL NOT FIXED. DYSFUNCTIONAL CAR FOR A PERIOD OF 6 DAYS AND COUNTING. FOR RODENT DAMAGE TO OCCUR IN A BRAND NEW, ACTIVELY DRIVEN CAR IS INDICATIVE OF OBVIOUS FLAWS IN THE DESIGN ITSELF. 1. THE MACHINERY WAS EXPOSED AND UNPROTECTED. 2. THE QUALITY OF BUILT MATERIAL WAS SUBSTANDARD FOR IT TO BE DAMAGED IN A OVERNIGHT SITUATION BY SOME "RODENT" NO LARGER THAN THOSE THAT CAN FIT IN, AND MANEUVER, WITHIN A CONFINED SPACE (SERIOUSLY, I DO NOT BELIEVE A RODENT WOULD RANDOMLY CHOOSE MY CAR ON THE STREET TO SQUEEZE INTO AND JUST BIT A WIRE (NUMEROUS WIR

AT NIGHT, WHEN I AM UTILIZING MY REGULAR HEADLIGHTS ON A DIMLY LIGHT ROAD, MY FRONT WINDSHIELD BECOMES PARTLY OBSCURED. IT IS AS IF EITHER A MESH SHADE HAS BEEN PULLED ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN MY FRONT WINDSHIELD OR SUDDENLY I HAVE TINTING ON THE UPPER HALF OF THE WINDOW. THIS OBSCURES MY VISION AND I SOMETIMES FEEL AS IF I NEED TO TRY TO LOOK UNDER THIS OBSCURITY TO SEE THE DISTANT PART OF THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD BY THE SALESPERSON THAT IT MAY BE THE RESULT OF THE TYPE OF FRONT HEADLIGHT NOW BEING INSTALLED. *TR

AS I WAS INCHING INTO A PARKING SPACE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTING RACING AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. BEFORE I COULD PUT ON ENOUGH BRAKING POWER TO STOP IT, I HIT A POLE CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE.THIS RACING HAS OCCURRED ON A NUMBER OF PREVIOUS OCCASIONS BUT I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR BEFORE ANY DAMAGE WAS DONE. THE DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO HELP ME. *TR

CAUTION, BE CAREFUL - MY CAR STOPPED WHEN THE START BUTTON WAS PRESSED WHILE DRIVING. THE START BUTTON IS NEAR MY KNEE AND AN ACCIDENTAL PRESS CAUSED MY MOVING CAR TO SHUT DOWN - FORTUNATELY I WAS JUST STARTING AND ONLY GOING 5 MPH. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY KNEE HIT THE START BUTTON WHILE GOING 65 IN TRAFFIC.. THE DEALER SAID THAT IS NORMAL!! *TR

FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE RESPONSE. IT MAY TAKE ANOTHER TRY TO GET THE ENGINE TO RESPOND. THIS MAINLY OCCURS WHEN I NEED RAPID ACCELERATION FROM A STOP TO QUICKLY GET INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE FLY-BY-WIRE ACCELERATOR TAKES TIME TO COORDINATE WITH THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THIS. *TR

WHEN A CAR HAS AIR BAGS YOU NEVER KNOW IF THEY WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE A CRASH. WITH FCW, IF YOU DRIVE SAFELY THE ALARM SHOULD NEVER GO OFF. WITH OUR CAR THE FCW ALARM RARELY SOUNDS BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL IF YOU WERE GOING ABOUT 25 MPH OR LESS AND A CAR CLOSE AHEAD WOULD BE STOPPING OR TURNING RIGHT. MOST TIMES OUR FCW WOULD NOT SOUND BUT SOMETIMES YOU GOT FALSE SIGNALS AND YOU WONDERED WHY. AFTER TWO DEALER VISITS AND ONE FOR 3 1/2 DAYS THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE EXCEPT NOW WE DO NOT GET FALSE SIGNALS. THE HONDA LITERATURE SAYS OF FCW "..CAN SENSE THE PRESENCE OF VEHICLES IN FRONT OF YOU AND ISSUES ALERTS IF IT CALCULATES YOU ARE AT RISK OF A COLLISION.." THAT IS WHY WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND WHAT WE EXPECT. AFTER THE SECOND DEALER VISIT AND THERE WAS NO CHANGE, THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AND I DROVE OUR VEHICLE AND AT TIMES DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO A VEHICLE AHEAD INCLUDING LARGE TRUCKS AND THE FCW ALARM DID NOT SOUND. WE TRIED A VERY SIMILAR NEW CAR OFF THE LOT LIKE MINE AND DROVE IT THE SAME WAY. THE FCW DID NOT WORK AS EXPECTED. PER A SHEET THE DEALER GAVE ME FOR FCW, IT STATES THAT IT USES RADAR WITH A RANGE OF UP TO 393 FT. IF A CAR IS GOING UP TO 75 MPH WITH A CAR LENGTH (20') FOR EVERY 10 MPH FCW SHOULD SOUND THE ALARM UP TO 150' AND GOING FASTER THAN THE CAR AHEAD. OURS WILL NOT DO THAT AT ANY SPEED BELOW 75 AND GETTING TOO CLOSE GOING FASTER THAN THE ONE AHEAD UNTIL GOING ABOUT 25 OR UNDER THEN NOT ALWAYS. I SAY OUR FCW DOES NOT WORK. WHEN DISCUSSING THIS WITH THE DEALER AND A F

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THAT I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. I FINALLY GOT MY CAR INSPECTED A THIRD TIME AFTER CONTACTING HONDA CORPORATE. THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE RESET. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT. AFTER AN ALIGNMENT AND THE STEERING WHEEL RESET, THE VEHICLE STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY ARE REALLY USELESS. THEIR MOTTO "HELPFUL HONDA" IS THE BIGGEST LOAD HOT AIR EVER. THEY ARE HAVING SOMEONE FROM HONDA CORPORATE COME TO INSPECT THE CAR NOW. BUT THEY REFUSE TO WORK WITH ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME FOR IT TO BE BROUGHT FOR SERVICE. THE CAR IS ONLY 7 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 7000 MILES. ALL HONDA HAD TO SAY WAS TO CONTACT A THIRD PARTY. HEPLFUL, WAS NOTHING CLOSE TO THE SERVICE AND TREATMENT I RECEIVED FROM HONDA SO FAR. *TR

WHENEVER I SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE IS A CLICKING SOUND MADE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I BOUGHT THE CAR 2 WEEKS AGO AND ALMOST GOT INTO A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS TRYING TO RE-ADJUST THE PILLOW BEHIND MY BACK. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PUSH-BUTTON START/STOP TYPE VEHICLE ("KEYLESS") WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF IN DRIVE, THE CAR ROLLS. *TR

THE CAR IS NOT GETTING THE ADVERTISED GAS MILEAGE. I AM ONLY GETTING 21 TO 22 MPG WHICH STINK. THE CAR BACKS UP WHEN IN PARK ALSO. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PLEASE. THE BOTTOM UNDER THE CAR IS NOT FINISHED OFF. ONE OTHER THING IS THAT THE BACKUP CAMERA IS NOT VERY CLEAR AND YOU CANNOT SEE PROPERLY AND HAVE TO GET OUT OF YOUR CAR TO CHECK ALL THE TIME. THE BACK END IS UP TOO HIGH. *TR

THE TRUNK FELL ON MY HEAD AND MY GRANDMOTHERS HEAD. IT DID NOT HURT WHEN IT FELL ON MY HEAD BUT MY GRANDMOTHER WAS IN PAIN WHEN IT FELL ON HERS. I LIVE ON A SLOPED DRIVEWAY, SO ANY TIME I OPEN MY TRUNK IT DOESN'T STAY OPEN AND FALLS RIGHT DOWN. IT STAYED OPEN A FEW TIMES, BUT WOULD THEN RANDOMLY COME FALLING DOWN. I CAN'T UNLOAD MY GROCERIES PROPERLY, I CAN'T LOAD MY TRUNK UP PROPERLY, IT'S VERY DISTURBING. ALSO, I TOOK IT TO TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID 'IT WAS FINE' AND 'NOTHING WAS WRONG.' ONE EVEN SUGGESTED I USED A BROOM TO KEEP THE TRUNK OPEN (WHICH IS ABSURD BECAUSE IT'S A BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD. BUT WHEN I SPOKE TO THE CAR REPAIR SHOP ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT WAS NOT NORMAL AND SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE TRUNK. *TR

AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF DRIVING MY NEW 2014 HONDA, I FELT THE CAR SWAYING AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE INSPECTED IN AUGUST BECAUSE THE PULLING BECAME VERY SEVERE EVEN WHEN DRIVING 30MPH I COULD FEEL IT. THEY SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND READJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT. THE CAR DROVE MUCH BETTER. A MONTH LATER NOW I FEEL THE CAR START TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AGAIN. NOT AS BAD AS BEFORE BUT STILL NOTICEABLE. I TRIED TO TAKE IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND SAID IT WAS FINE. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO THEM BUT THEY SAID ITS FROM THE CROWN IN THE ROAD. NONE OF MY OTHER CARS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACT HONDA CORPORATE AND WAITING TO BE CONTACTED. I HAD TO GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND REQUEST THE SERVICE DIRECTOR BECAUSE I FELT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUS. *TR

I DROVE THE BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD SON ON HIGH WAY 93 SOUTH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. IT WAS FRIDAY NOON TIME, BUSY IN HIGH WAY. I FELT SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND TRIED TO CHANGED TO SLOW LANE. THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING WITH ERROR CODE INSTEAD OF "D" IN THE PANEL. THERE WAS BIG TRUCK BEHIND ME. I PULLED IT OVER. IT WAS WITHIN 24 HOUR AFTER WE PICKED UP THE CAR. IT WAS SCARY EXPERIENCE! LUCKILY, WE ARE SAFE! EVEN LUCKIER, IT HAPPENED WHEN I DROVE IT, NOT MY 20 YEAR OLD, INEXPERIENCED CHILD DROVE. I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IT OCCURRED WHILE HE DROVE. DEALER TOLD US IT WAS REGULATOR IN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM BROKEN. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AS A SOLUTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MERGE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUME NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND REQUIRED FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,833.

JUST PURCHASED MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH MANY SMALL HILLS. WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO BE OUT OF FOCUS, NOT ILLUMINATING OBJECTS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHIN 25 FEET FROM THE VEHICLE, NOR CAN YOU SEE STREET SIGNS WITHIN THAT DISTANCE. WORSE, WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN THE SMALL HILLS THE ROADWAY VISIBILITY CHANGES RAPIDLY DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF THE CAR, OFTEN DROPPING THE VISIBILITY TO A SCARY 10-50 FEET AT 55 MPH. YES, YOU CAN USE YOU HIGH BEAMS TO HELP "IF CONDITIONS PERMIT". NEVERTHELESS, WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT IS VERY UNNERVING AND UNDOUBTEDLY UNSAFE! I DID NOTIFY HONDA AMERICA AND OPEN A CASE #N012014-08-2801669, HOWEVER, I WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE, AS THAT WAS THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY!!!! *TR

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW) AND FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) AUDIO CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE DEFAULT SETTING IS VERY LOW AND THEREFORE DIFFICULT TO HEAR. DURING AN UNINTENDED LANE DEPARTURE THE WARNING SYSTEM COULD NOT BE HEARD WHILE RADIO WAS ON. UPON APPROACHING A STOPPED VEHICLE THE AUDIO WARNING COULD NOT BE HEARD WITH RADIO ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASED IN ENGINE RPMS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASS AIR FLOW METER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATELY FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

EXCESSIVE FIXED HEADREST TILT FORWARD. SITTING SOMEWHAT UPRIGHT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT TILT THE NECK AND HEAD FORWARD CAN CAUSE NECK AND UPPER BACK PAIN. A HEADREST THAT CAN TILT FORWARD AND BACKWARD WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT IS DEFECTIVE. AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE I HAVE EXPERIENCED SCIATIC NERVE PAIN DOWN MY LEG, SEVERE LOWER BACK PAIN AND PELVIC NUMBNESS. THE DESIGN OF THE BOTTOM AND UPRIGHT PORTION OF THE SEAT ARE NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT A DRIVER CORRECTLY. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES I AM CONSIDERING SELLING THE VEHICLE AND TAKING A LOSS. I LOVE THE HONDA PRODUCT BUT THEY SHOULD MAKE CAPTURED TERRORIST DRIVE THIS CAR INSTEAD OF WATERBOARDING. *TR

HIT A SMALL POTHOLE AT LESS THAN 10 MPH APPROACHING INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND THEN TIRE MASSIVE FAILURE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHEN SPEEDING UP TO 70 MPH NEARLY CAUSING FIRE. HAVE DRIVEN 50 YEARS AND HIT MANY POTHOLES WITHOUT THIS TYPE OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. *TR

I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT. IT HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM ALMOST ANY SPEED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS I AM NERVOUS IF I HAVE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY FOR ANY REASON, AND GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY CAN BE TOUGH TOO. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS LIST THIS SAME ISSUE ON HERE, IT'S OBVIOUSLY A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE TERRIBLE AT NIGHT. I HAVE PERFECT VISION, UNCORRECTED, AND STILL THERE IS LIKE A STRAIGHT DARK BAR ACROSS WHERE THE TOP OF THE HEADLIGHTS REACH AND NOTHING IS VISIBLE ABOVE THAT POINT. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE A LITTLE BETTER BUT YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN'T ALWAYS DRIVE WITH THEM ON. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SO FAR, NO ACCIDENT, BUT THIS TREND TO DISABLE ACCESS TO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, EVEN BY A PASSENGER IS ACTUALLY MORE DANGEROUS THAN PREVIOUSLY. IT'S HIGHLY DISTRACTING TRYING TO USE VOICE NAVIGATION AND IT ALWAYS DOES NOT WORK VERY WELL. THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO USE A SEPARATE HAND HELD GPS OR SMART PHONE, WHICH CAN BE POTENTIALLY MORE DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING. HAS THERE EVER BEEN A CONTROLLED STUDY THAT DEMONSTRATES DISABLING NAVIGATION ACCESS WHILE DRIVING IS SAFER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE? HAVING USED FACTORY NAVIGATION SYSTEMS FOR OVER 12 YEARS, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT DISABLING NAVIGATION SYSTEMS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IS MORE DANGEROUS, AND REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD IF ALTERNATIVE ROUTES ARE REQUIRED IN AN EMERGENCY. FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IF YOU ARE LOST IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD, OR SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING YOU? YOU DON'T DARE PULL OVER AND STOP. I THINK THIS ISSUE NEEDS FURTHER ATTENTION. *TR

I HAD JUST LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY CLEARED A "FCW SYSTEM FAILED" MESSAGE AND I ENTERED THE INTERSTATE. WHILE TRAVELING IN THE LANE ADJACENT TO THE FAR LEFT AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 68 MPH, THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKED, THE FCW SYSTEM FAILED MESSAGE RETURNED, ALL EMERGENCY ICONS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, AND MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION IN TRAFFIC. DESPITE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE HAD NO RESPONSE AND WAS SITTING AT IDLE WHILE I DECELERATED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT UNDERWENT 3 DAYS OF SERVICE FOR WHAT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A FAILED ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR. THE DAY AFTER PICKING THE CAR UP FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THE CAR, WITHOUT SYMPTOMS OR WARNING, AGAIN VIOLENTLY JERKED, LOST ACCELERATION, AND DISPLAYED THE SAME SYSTEM FAILED MESSAGE. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 8 DAYS AND THE ECU AND MAIN WIRING HARNESS ARE BEING REPLACED. *TR

2014 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE DESIGN AND SAFETY OF THE VEHICLES EXPANDED VIEW MIRROR. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE VEHICLE DISTORTION RELATED TO THE SIZE AND LOCATION OF VEHICLES AS THEY APPEARED IN THE EXPANDED VIEW DRIVER'S MIRROR, GENERATING A PERSPECTIVE WHERE ONE VEHICLE APPEARED AS TWO VEHICLES. ALSO, VEHICLES TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION APPEARED TO SWERVE AS THEIR IMAGE ENTERED AND EXITED THE EXPANDED VIEW DRIVER'S MIRROR. VEHICLES IN THE FAR LEFT LANE APPEARED LESS THAN HALF THEIR ACTUAL SIZE AND AT TIMES, SEEMED AS IF THEY WERE RIGHT NEXT TO HIS VEHICLE. *JB

THE DRIVER DOOR LEAKS WATER INSIDE. IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME! WHEN EVER THERE IS HEAVY RAIN AND I OPEN THE CAR DOOR THERE IS LOT OF WATER BETWEEN DOOR AND DOOR PANELS. I READ ONLINE AND SO MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH HONDA. *TR

CAME OUT ONE MORNING TO GO TO WORK AND FOUND ALL FOUR CAR WINDOWS AND SUNROOF SLIGHTLY OPENED. THE W J NODES AND SUNROOF OPENED BY THEMSELVES. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THAT NIGHT WHICH RAIN ENTERED THE CAR. IT'S A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING GOING BACK 7 YEARS THAT PEOPLE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WERE OPENED WITHOUT THEM DOING SO. IT'S BEEN OCCURRING IN HONDA AND ACURA MODELS. THEY TRY TO SAY THAT WE MUST HAVE DONE IT BY THE REMOTE; BUT I DON'T USE THE REMOTE, I USE THE CAR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE BLACK BUTTON TO LOCK AND SECURE THE DOOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND NOT A CONSUMER ISSUE. *TR

I CAN'T HEAR THE TURN SIGNAL CLICKER. DEALER SAID ALL OF THESE HONDA ACCORDS ARE LIKE THAT. IF I MAKE A WIDE TYPE TURN, THE TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND I MAY HAVE DRIVEN A MILE OR TWO BEFORE I REALIZE THE SIGNAL IS STILL ON. I DO WEAR NEW HEARING AIDS. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED IS THERE A GOV'T STANDARD FOR THE CLICKER SOUND? *JS

HONDA ACCORD EX-L 2014 WILL SHUT-OFF AND COAST TO A STOP IF THE "START PUSH BUTTON" IS PRESSED WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR SHOULD BE IN PARK BEFORE PRESSING THE START BUTTON HAS ANY AFFECT !! WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, I PLACED MY HAND ON MY RIGHT KNEE AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE "START PUSH BUTTON" AND TO MY SURPRISE THE CAR SHUT-OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. I COULD NOT RESTART UNTIL I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK.. DANGEROUS !! I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE WHEN MY HAND GOING TO MY RIGHT KNEE HIT THE START BUTTON, THE CAR STOPPED!. FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING LESS THAN 5MPH SO NO ACCIDENT. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS - JUST LIKE IF YOU REMOVE YOUR KEYS WHILE DRIVING. HOWEVER YOU CAN NOT REMOVE YOUR KEYS UNLESS THE CAR IS IN PARK AND THE KEY IS TURNED FROM RUN. *TR
