2017 Honda Accord complaints

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION COMPLAINTS : APPROXIMATELY 6 - 7 TIMES, THE HONDA ACCORD INCREASED SPEED ON ITS OWN WHILE ENTERING HIGHWAYS OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO PARK THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EITHER TURNED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT DURING THE PROCESS. THE MOST CRITICAL INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 12/11/18 WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP IN A PARKING SPOT IN FRONT OF MY CONDOMINIUM. WHILE TURNING RIGHT INTO THE PARKING SPOT AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE HONDA VIOLENTLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER, BUT HAD TO QUICKLY PUSH THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO PARK IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE HONDA HAD JUMPED THE CONCRETE CURB, DROVE OVER THE SIDEWALK AND CONTINUED ACROSS THE GRASS UNTIL IT STOPPED ABOUT 3 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CONDO BUILDING. IF I DIDN'T FORCE THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH THE BUILDING. I WAS ABLE TO CALM DOWN, RESTART THE CAR AND PUT THE HONDA IN REVERSE TO BACK UP OVER THE SAME CURB INTO THE PARKING SPACE. I CONTACTED DAVIS HONDA AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO TRANSPORT IT FOR SERVICE. AS OF THIS DATE, DAVIS HONDA WILL BE TOWING THE HONDA ACCORD BACK TO MY ADDRESS IN MT. LAUREL, NJ. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT DUPLICATE ANY OF THE INCIDENTS, SO I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA AND OPENED UP A CASE. AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS TO CORPORATE, THEY INDICATED NO ISSUES WERE FOUND WITH HIS 2017 HONDA ACCORD AND I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. I NOTIFIED MY CAR INSURANCE COMPANY TO SEE IF THEY COULD ASSIST ME

THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE BY ITSELF, A CAR ONLY WITH 13,000 MILES AND 1 YEAR OF USAGE THAT MEANS ALMOST BRAND NEW CAR. I DROVE 9 MILES APROX. FROM HOME TO MY WORK LOCATION. WHEN I ARRIVE AND PARK THE CAR BEFORE GOING UPSTAIRS, I SAW THE CAR BLOWING UNUSUAL SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, I OPENED THE HOOD AND I SAW THE FIRE WAS COMING BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE RADIATOR. I CALL THE 911 AND WHEN THEY ARRIVED THEY TRIED TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER BUT THE FIRE STARTED GETTING OUT OF CONTROL, FORCING THEM TO USE THE WATER HOSE TO STOP THE FIRE. HONDA IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND NO BODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED

THE TRUNK LID OPENS ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. REPORTED TO DEALER 3 TIMES. THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. MUST BE ELECTRICAL. WHEN I PUSH THE FOB BUTTON GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT WON'T OPEN. JUST RANDOMLY WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD - 35-50 MPH.

BRAKE CALIPER RETAINING CLIPS APPEAR TO BE INCORRECTLY INSTALLED OR POORLY DESIGNED. THIS HAS A TRAIL OF PROBLEMS COMPILING AT A QUICK PACE. THE BRAKE PADS DON'T TRAVEL FREELY EVEN WITH GREASE. THE OUTSIDE BRAKE PADS WILL WEAR OUT APPROXIMATELY 1-2 MILLIMETERS BEFORE THE INSIDE BRAKE PADS WEAR DOWN TO THE SQUEALER (WARNING NOISE TO LET YOU KNOW BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED). THE OTHER PADS WILL GRIND THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE ROTARS. BRAKE PADS WILL NOT RETRACT BAKE TO NORMAL POSITION AND CONSTANT FRICTION CAUSES EXCESSIVE HEAT WHICH IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH THE CALIPER PISTONS, WHEEL HUB/BEARINGS, WHEELS, SIGNIFICANT MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION DAMAGE BEING OVER WORKED. GAS MILEAGE IS CONSTANTLY IN HIGH TEENS. RARELY HAVE I EVER HIT OVER 25MPG REGARDLESS OF CITY DRIVING OUT HIGHWAY DRIVING. FIRST SIGN OF BRAKE PAD FAILURE@1ST 8,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. BRAKE FLUID IS ALREADY BURNT OR DRK BRWNISH COLOR AT 40,000 MILES. THIS CAR GENERATES MORE THAN QUESTIONABLE HEAT FROM FRONT WHEELS AFTER 10MINS OF PARKING LOT DRIVING. THIS APPEARS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVING HARD AS IF I AM ABUSING THE 2.4L 4CYL ENGINE POWERING A CVT TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS PROCEEDING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, ANOTHER VEHICLE FAILED TO YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY AND CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND SMOKE ENTERED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND AWOKE TO FIND THAT THE SEAT BELT DID NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN HER, WHICH RESULTED IN INJURIES TO THE NECK, HEAD, AND SHOULDERS. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAR ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR DRIVING IN WINTER CONDITIONS. THE TREAD PATTERN IS DESIGNED FOR DRY ROADS. THERE ARE NO CHANNELS FOR ACCUMULATING SLUSH, SNOW, ETC. TO EXIT THE TREAD TO THE SIDES. THIS CAUSES ACCUMULATION IN THE TREAD AND CAUSES HYDROPLANING AND COMPLETE LOSS OF TRACTION. LAST WINTER I ALMOST LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THIS CAR WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY COMING NORTH FROM O'HARE ON I94 IN SLUSH. I TRIED ASKING THE KENOSHA, WISCONSIN DEALERSHIP TO PUT ALL SEASON RADIALS ON THE CAR AND THEY REFUSED, SAYING IF I WANTED TO PAY FOR DIFFERENT TIRES I COULD DO THAT. SELLING OR LEASING A VEHICLE IN A SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHICAL AREA SHOULD INCLUDE TIRES THAT ARE SUITED FOR SAID AREA. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN SNOW OR ANY SLIPPERY CONDITIONS DUE TO THE TIRES.

SMELLS LIKE FISH WHEN TURNING ON THE HEAT & A/C. THE TIRES ARE DRY ROTTED. THIS CAR IS NOT BRAND NEW AND MUST HAVE COME FROM AN AREA WHERE THERE WAS FLOODING. LITHIA HONDA IN MEDFORD OREGON SELLING CARS THAT ARE REALLY TOTALED OUT CARS FROM FLOODS OR HURRICANE PRONE AREAS. THIS IS A DANGER, AS DRY ROT BLOW OUT TIRES MAY CAUSE SERIES ACCIDENTS. OUT POLICE OFFICERS ARE ALSO DRIVING ON THESE TIRES! DRY ROT TIRES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 40 MPH, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED AND SHE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE TO A BODY SHOP AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09105290. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,098. *DT CONSUMER CONTINUED TO BRAKE BUT THE BRAKE FAILED TO STOP. THE FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYED. UPDATED 02/01/19*JB

THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) STRIP IS OUT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AFTER ONLY 9 MONTHS. I HAVE READ ABOUT 8 OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SPOKEN WITH OTHER ACCORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS ABSURDLY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE CONSIDERING IT IS ALL ONE ASSEMBLY. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DRL IN THAT SHORT OF A TIME, A COMPONENT THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO SAFETY, IS A SIGN OF POOR CRAFTING/MANUFACTURING.

I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE THIS STRANGE ENGINE START ISSUE RECENTLY (WITH SHORT CIRCUIT SOUNDS). DEALERSHIP SERVICE DONE IN JULY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OR MY IGNITION SWITCH. DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE A CRITICAL ISSUE ' IT IS NOW LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROADS. I DON'T SEE ANY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE EITHER. I'M GLAD I NOTICED DURING SUMMER AS OTHERWISE COULD BE LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. I HAVE DESCRIBE THE EVENTS IN DETAILS IN THE ATTACHED PDF.

LOUD CLICKING NOISE POSSIBLY IN LOCKING SYSTEM. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN IT DOES START THE NOISE, IT IS CONTINUOUS FOR SEVERAL MILES. IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I PARK AND LOCK THE DOORS FROM OUTSIDE AND THE LOCKS CONTINUE TO CLICK UNTIL I COME BACK TO THE CAR AND RE LOCK THE DOORS. IT WILL ALSO MAKE THE NOISE WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR AND I HAVE NOT STARTED THE CAR YET. SOMETIMES I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST STARTS THE CLICKING NOISE. ALSO THE ALARM HAS GONE OFF BY ITSELF WHILE PARKED AND I DIDN'T EVEN SET THE ALARM. THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ON DEC 21, 2017.

LED DRL PREMATURE FAILURE: I WRITE CONCERNING PREMATURE DRL LED FAILURE IN THE LED HEADLIGHTS OF MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING V6. THE LED DRL FAILED LESS THAN 18 MONTHS AND 22K MILES INTO BRAND-NEW OWNERSHIP. THE UNIT'S DESIGN IS SUCH THAT, SHOULD IT FAIL, COMPLETE AND COSTLY REPLACEMENT OF THE UNIT IS NECESSARY: $1500+. WHILE THE ITEM IS COVERED UNDER THE NEW CAR WARRANTY, SUBSEQUENT FAILURES OF THIS SUPPOSED SAFETY ITEM WOULD NOT BE COVERED, SHOULD ADDITIONAL PREMATURE FAILURE OCCUR, WHICH IS A MOST INCONVENIENT AND HAZARDOUS REALIZATION.

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS BELOW 35MPH, THERE IS A SCRAPING NOISE. I HAVE HAD IT TO TWO HONDA DEALERS AND THEY BOTH SAY IT IS THE TIRE BEAD MAKING A SCRAPING NOISE. THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL FOR A 2017 ACCORD WITH THE SPORT PACKAGE THAT HAS THE 19" FACTORY WHEELS TO MAKE THIS NOISE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 15,000 MILES AND CORPORATE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO.

LED HEADLIGHTS, LED LIGHT STRIP FOR DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT AFTER 25000 MILES AND ALMOST 2 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, A FIRE STARTED IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE POLICE IMPOUND LOT AND THEN RELEASED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER (ATLANTIC HONDA, LOCATED AT 1391 SUNRISE HWY, BAY SHORE, NY 11706, (631) 665-0005), THE MANUFACTURER, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DECLINED TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO CONCLUSIVE DETERMINATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

REPORTED ON THREE OCCASIONS TO HONDA DEALER IN ANNAPOLIS THAT DRIVER SEAT MAKES A VERY LOAD NOISE WHEN ADJUSTING SEAT FORWARD AND OR BACKWARDS. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL AND THAT NO REPAIR COULD BE MADE UNTIL THE NOISE WAS EVEN LOUDER. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE 2017 AND FIRST REPORT OF NOISE WAS MADE IN JUNE OF 2017, TO SALES GROUP AT HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS, AND THEN TO SERVICE GROUP IN JUNE AND ONCE MORE IN DECEMBER. THE NOISE IS GETTING LOUDER. ADDITIONALLY A WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 40 + MPH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF STREET NOISECAN BE HEARD IN THE CABIN.

HEAVY STEERING WHEELS AND FEEL STIFFER COMING OUT OF PARKING OR MAKING U TURN. ALSO, VIBRATION CAN BE FELT WHILE DRIVING AND/OR BRAKING 40MPH TO 60MPH. REPORTED TO YONKERS HONDA, NEW ROCHELLE HONDA, AND BRONX HONDA BUT DID ACKNOWLEDGE OR RESOLVE THE ISSUE, INSTEAD STATED EVERYTHING IS WORKING NORMAL WHEN IT IS NOT!

RESIDUE UNDER THE HOOD INSULATOR COVER IS ALWAYS WET/MOIST WITH LEFTOVER WHITE RESIDUE ON A BRAND NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD. INFORMED YONKERS HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT THERE COULD BE POSSIBLE LEAKAGE BUT DEALERSHIP DID NOT MAKE ANY THOROUGH INSPECTION FOR ANY LEAKAGE INSTEAD TOLD ME IT'S "NORMAL" VERBALLY HOWEVER IN WORK ORDER NO MENTION OF ANY INSPECTION FOR LEAK EVEN THOUGH MY WORK ORDER DESCRIPTION CLEARLY STATES IT SO.

I HAVE STARTED NOTICING ENGINE ACCELERATION LAG, A TIRE/WHEEL NOISE FROM DRIVER FRONT/REAR SIDE. THE NOISE WAS VERY NOTICEABLE SINCE IT FELT LIKE THE TIRE/WHEEL WAS RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER SOMEWHERE. THE NOISE CAN BE HEARD DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF 15-30MPH HAVING THE WINDOW ROLL DOWN. JUNE 4TH, 2018 MADE A APPOINTMENT WITH PURCHASING DEALERSHIP YONKERS HONDA TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED. HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO I TEST DROVE WITH MECHANIC AND PROVED MY CASE. AFTER HEARING THE NOISE, THEY KEPT THE CAR TO FIX THE ISSUE AND WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR THE NOISE WAS BACK AGAIN. SINCE THEY COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE, THEY LABELED IT AS "NORMAL" AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE DESPITE SHOWING IT TO THEM AFTER MULTIPLE VISIT. I OPENED A CASE WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY COULD NOT GET YONKERS HONDA TO FIX THE ISSUE OR GET THE MANAGER TO CALL ME TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. INSTEAD, AMH ADVISED ME TO TRY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID, "NEW ROCHELLE HONDA" HOWEVER THEY WERE NO HELP WHATSOEVER. THEY DID NOT EVEN WANT TO WORK ON THE CAR DESPITE THEIR MECHANIC HEARING THE NOISE. THE DIRECTOR INFORMED THE MANAGER THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND FED HONDA LIES ABOUT DIRECTOR EVER CONTACTING ME OR TEST DRIVING WITH ME. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN, AND THEY DID NOT HELP ME INSTEAD TOLD ME TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I AM ON MY THIRD DEALERSHIP, WORKING WITH BRONX HONDA ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE SINCE JUNE 4TH, 2018 AND STILL NO FIX...NOW I AM EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION LAG, BRAK

FIRST ISSUE I NOTICED WITH MY CAR WAS THAT WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT ROAD IN THE MIDDLE LANE MY CAR WILL PULL SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, GARDEN STATE HONDA IN PASSAIC NEW JERSEY, AND THEY REPORTED THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. I DROVE THE CAR AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED. NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER, DCH PARAMUS HONDA IN PARAMUS NEW JERSEY, AND AGAIN IT WAS REPORTED BY THIS DEALER THAT THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. I DROVE MY CAR AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE DEALERS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. THE SECOND ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE (2/3/2018. 15691 MILES) ON THE SIDE AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO GARDEN STATE HONDA REGARDING THE TIRE DAMAGE AND THEY DECLINED REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE AND INCREASED THE TIRE PRESSURE TO 37PSI ON ALL FOUR TIRES WHICH IS ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE OF 33PSI FRONT TIRES, 32PSI REAR TIRES (I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE IN THE MORNING) MY CAR FELT STIFFER AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AFTERWARDS. MOREOVER, THE FRONT LEFT TIRE RIPPED ON THE SIDE AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-30MPH ON LOCAL STREETS (3/30/2018). THIS IS WHEN I HAD TO BUY TWO BRAND NEW TIRES YOKOHAMA ADVAN SPORT A/S XL FOR $174.88 EACH THAT REPLACED THE FRONT TWO DAMAGED TIRES. RECENTLY (8/24/2018. 22442 MILES) THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BENT AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 50-55MPH ON THE HIGHW

HONDA ACCORD 2017 CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) TORQUE CONVERTER SEAL LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. DEALER FIRST SAID IT WAS LEFT-OVER FROM ASSEMBLY, CLEANED IT. BUT LEAK PERSISTED. THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTED SEAL, AND YET PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY JUST WANTED ME TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THE CAR HAS ONLY 10K MILES. DRIVES NORMALLY. BUT LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID IS A TIME BOMB. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL GET WORSE AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION.

SO THERE ARE A FEW ISSUES WITH MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT FIRST ONE IS THE TIRE WHOOSHING SOUND IT MAKES I KNOW I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME THING AND I HAVE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE VERY FRUSTRATING THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED SECOND ISSUE MY TPM KEEPS COMING ON I JUST TOOK IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND HAD THE TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED AND ADJUSTED AND BARLEY A DAY LATER IT COMES BACK ON THE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS I CHECKED THE TIRES THEY ARE IN REALLY GOOD CONDITION LOTS OF LIFE ON THEM AND SAME RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING SUPER FRUSTRATING THIRD ISSUE IS THAT WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE AND THE INSIDE OF MY CAR GETS HOT MY SCREEN SHUTS OFF I AM TALKING THIS ONE IN TO THE DEALER TO LEAVE IT HOPEFULLY THEY CAN GET IT FIXED AND DON'T GIVE ME THE SAME ANSWER AS I GOT FOR ALL MY OTHER ISSUES

2017 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO HITTING A POTHOLE AS A RESULT 2 TIRES WERE RIPPED. CONSUMER IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS. *LD *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK HONDA BRADENTON (5515 14TH ST, WEST BRADENTON, FL 34207) WHERE THEY CHANGED ALL FOUR TIRES TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, BUT THE NOISE CONTINUED. AT 14,000 MILES LATER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE LATER AND FOUND THAT THE FRAME WAS BENT DUE TO FAULTY WELDING AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURING, WHICH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SENT AN INSPECTOR, BUT WAS UNABLE TO OFFER ANY RESOLUTION OR PROVIDE THE CONTACT A REPORT OF THEIR FINDINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,974.

AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, IN THE CITY OF TUCSON, ARIZONA, I TURNED RIGHT ON A GREEN LIGHT AND HEARD A LOUD BANG COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST SINCE I WAS TURNING FROM A DEAD STOP. I COASTED INTO THE SERVICE STATION ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR IN ORDER TO PARK THE CAR. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES NOTHING HAPPENED. PLACED MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TWICE AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. I COASTED INTO THE BACK OF A TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED. TWO WITNESSES TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVER OF A TRUCK HAD RUN A RED LIGHT AND HIT ME. THE POLICE WERE CALLED, BUT WOULD NOT MAKE A REPORT. IN TUCSON, AZ, UNLESS TRAFFIC IS BLOCKED OR SOMEONE IS HURT THE POLICE WILL NOT RESPOND TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS TOOK PLACE DURING DAYLIGHT AROUND 7:15 AM. THE BRAKES WORKED LATER AT THE REPAIR SHOP. THEY DID NOT WORK IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE I WAS HIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HONDA OF ROANOKE, 403 PREMIER BLVD, ROANOKE RAPIDS, NC), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

CAR NEEDED TO BE JUMPED STARTED TWICE. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO FIND CAUSEO OF BATTERY NOT FUNCTIONING. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. BATTERY AND ALL OTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FAILED TO SHOW ANY CAUSE OF DEAD BATTERY. FIRST TIME, CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER WAITING 20 MINS. SECOND TIME, CAR IN GARAGE OVER NIGHT WOULD NOT START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED; HOWEVER, DUE TO A DELAY IN THE CONTACT'S REACTION TIME, SHE CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST BRUISES, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. THE CONTACT CALLED GALPIN HONDA AT (818) 837-6100 (LOCATED AT 11151 LAUREL CANYON BLVD, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND YIELDING FOR A FIRE TRUCK, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT AND THE CONTACT WAS LAUNCHED FORWARD. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. POLICE AND FIRE REPORTS WERE FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE SEAT BELT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. *TT

I HAVE A CONTINUOUS SOUND IN MY DRIVERSIDE FRONT TIRE IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASE THE CAR THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING THEY CAN FIX BUT IT ONLY STOP THE SOUND FOR A LITTLE WHILE SO I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR THAT HAS A WHOPPING SOUND IN IT AS I GO DOWN THE ROAD THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE RIM BUT IT WAS TOTALLY SAFE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT FIXED BECAUSE THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY RECALL IT'S DONE BEFORE THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM I DO NOT THINK IT'S FAIR THAT I HAVE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR THAT HAS A ISSUE AND NO ONE IS CONCERNED ABOUT FIXING.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT AND WHEN WE CAME OUT AT NIGHT THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WHERE FULLY OPEN ON A RAINY NIGHT SO I HAVE A LOT OF WATER DAMAGE ALSO. I SEEN THAT PEOPLE SAY THAT THE REMOTE COULD HAD BEEN PRESS BUT THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE KEYS WHERE JUST LAYING ON THE TABLE. ALSO THE CMARA TO BACK UP AND THE LANE CHANGING DON'T WORK SOMETIMES.

WHEN DECELERATING WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY SUDDENLY BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. ALL AT ONCE, THE CAR'S CONTROL AND STEERING COULD NOT BE EASILY MANEUVERED AND ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM (EPS) INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHED. THERE WAS NO WARNING NOR INDICATION THAT THE STEERING WAS COMPROMISED. I MANAGED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE ALLOWING IT TO COAST. THE STEERING WILL WAS STIFF AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF TURNING DID NOT NOT CONTROL THE CAR ACCURATELY. I COASTED TO A STOP IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE EPS LIGHT WAS NOT PRESENT AND THE STEERING CONTROL WAS REESTABLISHED. THINKING THIS WAS POSSIBLE DUE TO A GLITCH, I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR ABOUT TWO MILES WHEN THE SYSTEM ONCE AGAIN WENT OUT AND THE EPS LIGHT SIGNALED AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, BUT WAS ABLE TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF TO RESET THE SYSTEM. I WAS ABLE TO THEN DRIVE THE CAR HOME. THE NEXT MORNING, WHILE DRIVING TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP, THE STEERING BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AND A BASIC TURN COULD NOT BE MADE WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A LOW SPEED. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED HOURS LATER TO NOTIFY ME THAT THEY WERE ORDERING A NEW POWER STEERING RACK. WHEN I INQUIRED AS TO WHAT THE ISSUE WAS I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CODE SIMPLY RECOMMENDED THE SYSTEM TO BE RESET, BUT "THEY D

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND LOCKED. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE FOUR HOURS LATER ALL FOUR WINDOWS AND THE SUN ROOF WERE FULLY OPENED. THE KEY FOB WAS IN MY POCKET THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM AND THERE WERE NO WARNING OR FAILURE LIGHTS ACTIVATED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE CLOSE ALL WINDOWS WITH NO PROBLEM. I'VE NOT YET TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HONDA BUT I INTEND TO DO SO ASAP. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BUMPER STARTED TO MELT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DUBLIN HONDA, 6300 DUBLIN BLVD, DUBLIN, CA 94568), WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE BUMPER REPAIRS BUT STILL THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,661.

WHEN CAR IS RUNNING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE AND THEN STATIONARY (OUTSIDE IN THE DRIVEWAY) WITH THE CABIN AIR ON, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS COMING INTO THE CABIN AND IS VERY NOTICEABLE. I TOOK MY BABY DAUGHTER OUT FOR A DRIVE TO GET HER TO FALL ASLEEP AND WHEN I REACHED HOME I USUALLY SIT WITH HER IN THE CAR WHILE IT RUNS, BUT THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT I HAD TO WAKE HER AND REMOVE HER FROM THE CAR. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TODAY (01/29/18) WHO NOTED NO GAS LEAKS AND STATED THAT GAS GAP WAS NOT AS TIGHT AS IT COULD BE, BUT IT SEEMS IMPROBABLE THAT IT WOULD CAUSE THAT MUCH OF A SMELL IN THE CABIN. SEEING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR HONDA CR-V AND FEEL LIKE THE DEALER COULD DO MORE EXPLORATION, BUT DIDN'T SO THEY COULD NOT DO FURTHER EXPLORATION OF THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT SMELL THE GASOLINE BUT SOMETHING ELSE AND SAID IT WAS "OFF GASSING OF THE INTERNAL ENGINE COMPARTMENT CHEMICALS". BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I COULD SMELL GASOLINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, IT UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (CONICELLI HONDA, 1100 RIDGE PIKE, CONSHOHOCKEN, PA 19428) WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. STATE FARM INSURANCE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,800. *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTING WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED, THE IN-DASH NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND OTHER INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL LIGHTING WOULD BLINK OR FLASH INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTONATION HONDA (1990 COVINGTON PIKE, MEMPHIS, TN 38128, (901) 209-1283) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE THAT WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE KEY FOB NOT BEING IN SYNC WITH THE VEHICLE'S ECU. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, AFTER APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS OF DRIVING, THE FAILURE RECURRED. AFTER THE THIRD FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SEVERAL WIRING HARNESSES HAD MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD RECUR. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO GUARANTEE THAT THE FAILURE WOULD NOT RECUR AND TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80. *TT *TR

THE VEHICLE I OWNED IS 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING. PROBLEM I DISCOVERED WAS CENTER CONSOLE SILVER STRIPE (PASSENGER SIDE) POP UP. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP HAVE IT FIXED. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY MONTH, AND I AM GETTING TRIED TO FIX IT EVERY MONTH. THE SILVER STRIPE PIECE IS SHARP, COULD POSSIBLY CUT YOUR FINGER OR SKIN. I OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A YEAR, LIKE NEW, WITH LESS THAN 3K MILES ON IT.

THEN MANUAL STATES THE AIR BAG WILL GO OFF AT UNDER 65 LBS. MY 85 LB. GRANDSON, WEIGHED JANUARY 9, 2018, MAKES THE AIR BAG GO OFF WHEN HE SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING BUT STATIONERY. THE LIGHT OFF STAYS LITE THE WHOLE TIME HE IS IN THE SEAT. I HAVE GONE ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. MY DEALER JUST TELLS ME THAT THE GRANDSON SHOULD SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. CAN THIS BE FIXED TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG FOR THE OVER 65 LB. LIMIT?

SUNROOF SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE.

WE FINANCED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT CVT ON JULY 17, 2017. WE HAVE NOTICED VARIOUS ISSUES WITH THE LAG/HESITATION UPON ACCELERATING AS WELL AS BRAKING AND STEERING. WE SEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REVOLVING AROUND THIS MODEL VEHICLE. LESS THAN 11,000 MILES, WE NOTICED THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKES WERE GETTING REALLY LOW AND WEARING UNEVENLY COMPARED TO THE OTHER THREE, I.E. SCREECHING; WHICH WAS ODD AND CONCERNING SINCE IT HAD 11,000 MILES AND ONLY ONE SIDE WAS WORN DOWN. DECEMBER 2017, THE PASSENGER FRONT BRAKES BECAME SO LOW, WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THERE WAS A METAL ON METAL, GRINDING NOISE. WE VISUALLY INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND COULD SEE THE BRAKE PADS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WERE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT, AS WELL AS THE WEAR ON THE ROTORS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 12-12-17 AND THEY CLAIMED THE BRAKE PADS WERE WEARING EVENLY/NORMAL; THE OTHER SERVICE STATION AT THIS LOCATION AGREED THAT ITS NOT NORMAL FOR THE CAR THE HAVE LESS THAN 12000 MILES FOR THE FIRST BRAKE PADS TO BE CHANGED LET ALONE WORN UNEVENLY. THE CONCERN WASN'T THE BRAKE PADS BEING CHANGED, IT IS THE MECHANICAL FUNCTION OF THE PISTON AND CALIPER WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, OR ANOTHER UNDERLYING ISSUE; HAVING LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ISN'T RIGHT. THEY DIDN'T CARE, THOUGHT WE WANTED BRAKES CHANGED FOR FREE. WE FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA REGARDING THE SAFETY AND WEAR OF THE BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRA

TAKATA RECALL MY PASSENGER AIRBAG CONSOLE WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT STAYS ON SOMETIMES AND GOES OFF SOMETIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. THEY TELL ME THE LIGHT WASN'T ON WHEN THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND TO BRING IT BACK. I TOLD THEM TO CHECK IT OUT AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE, THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THEY HAVE MORE TIME TO CHECK IT OUT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT BACK WHEN IT CAME BACK ON, BUT IT WENT BACK OFF AGAIN! SO BASICALLY THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE LIGHT ISN'T ON! BUT WHEN I'M ON THE WAY TO DEALER IT IS ON. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS HAS BEEN GOIN ON FOR ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS NOW. I LEASED THE VEHICLE MARCH 2017

TAKATA RECALL I RECENTLY HAD A CAR ACCIDENT ON 11/29/17 WHERE THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND I CUT MY FACE AND HAD 6 STITCHES AND MY MOTHER BROKE HER ARM AND HAS A CAST AND MIGHT NEED SURGERY. I JUST LEASED THE CAR 2 MONTHS AGO.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THERE IS A COUPLE OF SECONDS HESITATION OF THE POWER TRAIN. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND DEATH. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BUT CAN GO FOR SOME TIME WITHOUT OCCURRING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND THE VEHICLE APPLY THE BRAKES WITHOUT ANYTHING BEEN IN FRONT OF IT. IT'S SCARY BECAUSE ANY ONE COULD REAR END YOU. TOOK IT TO HONDA WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE AND THEY WAS TAKING ABOUT REALIGNING THE SENSOR.

TAKATA RECALL, IS MY CURRENT CAR UNDER RECALL FOR THE BAG INFLATOR?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE MOVED VERY SLOWLY. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO MOVE WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RICK CASE HONDA (15700 RICK CASE HONDA WAY, DAVIE, FL 33331) WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO RICK CASE HONDA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS AT FAULT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,400. *BF CONSUMER STATED TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND DEALERSHIP EXCHANGED FOR ANOTHER 2017 HONDA ACCORD. UPDATED 8/9/18*JB

THE LED INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY MELTS THE SURROUNDING PLASTIC CAUSING FAILURE OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE HEADLIGHT IS REQUIRED TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ACROSS ALL 2016 AND 2017 MODELS.

I PURCHASE MY HONDA ACCORD SPORT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017. TODAY OCTOBER 28TH 2017 WILL DRIVING ON MY LOCAL STREET LESS THAN 40 MILES PER HOUR I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO FIND A CRACK IN MY SIDE TIRE WALL. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 1,300 MILES ON IT THE TREAD ON THE TIRE IS FULLY INTACT. I WAS GREATLY CONCERNED AS THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED THIS YEAR BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE TIRE FOR THE TIRE TO BE CRACKED .I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE ANY SERIOUS BODILY INJURY IS CAUSED TO ANYONE . WHEN I CONTACTED MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WAS ADVISED THAT TIRES ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY WHEN PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND THEY MADE THE PRESUMPTION THAT I HIT SOMETHING OR RAN SOMETHING OVER . I ADVISED THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE THAT I DID NOT HIT OR RUN ANYTHING OVER MY RIM AND VEHICLE HAVE NO DAMAGE TO INDICATE THAT ANYTHING WAS HIT OR RUN OVER TO CAUSE THE CRACKING NOT A SLICE BUT A CRACK IN THE TIRE. TIRE INFO 235/40R 1996V DOT A318WC8T 3317

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT LED BAR WENT OUT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AROUND 30K MILES, NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS GONE OUT AROUND 35K MILES. THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO TAKE IT IN YET FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE.
