2018 Honda Accord complaints

Rear brakes were changed 3 times in a time lapse in less than 6 months my rear brakes are gone they are rubbing metal to metal this is my commuting car to and from work. The automatic braking sometimes activated on its own or when it does not detect the markers on the road or the vehicle will try to left has happened to me multiple times almost crashed to the wall in more than one occasion

The system regularly malfunctions and it has almost caused 2 accidents. You expect the car to stop but it fails. The brakes also have issues and now my car starts without even pressing my foot on the brake first. I have over 10 warning lights due to safety system issues.

Our AC system stops blow cold air. After doing some research, a lot of Honda owners have AC problems. Most likely the cause could possible be AC compressor, or condenser which can cost 2000 or more to replace. Our car is most latest model 2018 Honda Accord and AC has stopped working. This should have been a call so we don't have to pay dealers to fix AC issue. Please contact Honda corporation and help us resolving this AC as warm and hot days are approach in California. It is terrible that this AC can happen to new cars.

The A/C blows only cold air all the way to 72F. Others online are experiencing similar issues

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that in April of 2021 the vehicle was taken to a dealer for an unknown recall related to the BCM. Months later, the contact parked her vehicle in the driveway and walked around it to retrieve her trash can, when she turned around it was discovered that the vehicle was rolling causing the front to crash into her against the garage wall. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact sustained a pelvic bone injury and was transported to the hospital for medical treatment. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by a dealer. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Passenger airbag cutoff indicator shorted-out, causing my passenger side airbag to have the potential not to deploy in the event on an accident. Vehicle is less than four years old and numerous problems are cropping up with the electrical equipment, including this short of the passenger airbag cutoff indicator, which I believe is a safety issue.

Supplemental Restraint System failure will pop up at random times maybe every other drive, then that code goes away. Just recently the ACC and Brake System flashes "Problem see dealer" as well as the head unit/display turning off and then back on intermittently. Front interior lights will turn on then turn off, sometimes immediately, and this has all been in the last year they've compiled. Closer to when I got my car a couple of years ago, the cruise control would just turn off and the automatic braking would start to slow the vehicle down. I attribute this to the "emergency braking" feature that would stop me with nothing in front of me, so it has been disabled ever since. Unfortunately my car doesn't fall under the VIN registry for the software recall, and from the looks of the other complaints this seems to be common problem with this car. If these issues are present I'm not sure why Honda would be so reluctant to accept that the recall affected a larger number of vehicles than they had initially thought. May have to get in contact with Honda Corporate.

The air conditioner in the car had stopped working and is only blowing out hot air

Rear brake pads wore out prematurely due to electric parking brake malfunction. Three different service writers at the Honda dealership acknowledged this as a known issue and stated they’ve seen it multiple times on this model. Honda refuses to acknowledge the issue and take responsibility. Front brakes show no signs of premature wear and are still in good “safe” condition. Mechanic at non-Honda service center agreed rear brakes wore out long before they should have and in a manner not related to normal wear and tear.

The door locks on my vehicle don't always work as they should. Often times only one or two of the doors lock and unlock, and it is not always the same two doors. I was told that the BCM recall would likely fix the problem when I took in for recall about a year or so ago. During my most recent trip on January 14, 2022, I was told that the problem is my actuators. After a quick inquiry I found that Honda has experienced this issue with this model before as well as other models. I wasn't aware that the locks weren't engaging for quite some time which meant that I was driving with unlocked car doors. There were no indicators that the doors were unlocked.

When driving this car at any speed above 30 mph the steering wheel sticks when attempting to turn or make any steering adjustments. This happens while the steering wheel is centered and the car is moving strait forward. This is a dangerous situation when driving in heavy traffic at highway speeds .

Backup camera malfunctioning. Color distortion makes it very difficult to interpret image. Problem has persisted since first occurrence (12/7/2021). An auto mechanic looked at image but could determine cause of problem. No warning lamps, messages or problems noted in self-diagnostic tests report. There was a previous recall on the software for this backup camera.

Supplemental restraint system malfunction which could lead to failure of airbags to deploy. This is a fairly new car and the indicator for failure of this system appeared with no prior collision, deployment of airbags, or tampering with system. Non-deployment of airbags in the event of a collision is a major safety hazard due to a randomly malfunctioning system. The problem has not been confirmed by dealer or independent service and has not been inspected. There is a warning message that appears that does not state what the issue with the restraint system is (electronic or mechanical).

All warning indicator lights came on and I took car to a Certified Auto Mechanic who said it was caused by the fuel pump problems surrounding Honda cars. Said it affected the fuel injectors (mis-fire) and I should take it to Honda dealer for fix. Honda dealer said this VIN of my 2018 Honda is not on the recall. I asked about being covered by the 5 year power train warranty and was told that this did not fall under that warranty. The auto mechanic said he would have to charge around $2000 to replace the fuel injector (1), but the others would probably go bad unless everything (Pump and injectors) were replaced. There over 500 complaints with NHTSA on this year model and over 200 of those are similar problems that match prior recalls for same model and year but different vin numbers. The reports from Honda to NHTSA regarding selected "recall" units does not prevent other problems identified due to Indian defective parts surrounding the fuel pump problems. If I read all the details correctly only hundreds of just 10,000 recalls have been completed. Why would Honda/NHTSA not want to include the few other hundred that may be present to prevent accidents and uphold the Honda reputation of quality?

Vehicle suddenly stopped turning over, replaced battery incase it wasn’t enough. Vehicle had a little under a quarter tank of gas so added another gallon or two and that brought it up to 1/2 a tank. Vehicle turned on once rough then smoothed out and then shut off in the road 10 minutes later. There are recalls for this exact problem with other Honda Accords my year but my vin did not qualify in the listing.Car belongs to grandmother Diana evans my name is Quinten and I am currently using my friends phone because mine is broken and she has been helping me with the vehicle.

The passenger side air bag is not working. Even with a passenger on the seat, the air bag indicator is OFF. Sometimes the airbag indicator works but most times it does not detect a passenger

Ive noticed my rear brake pads are wearing out faster than my front brake pads. In which this is a front wheel drive car and the engine is in the front

Secondary restraint system warning light keeps coming on.

So far I've had to replace 2 door lock actuators on my car since I purchased it brand new in 2018. Last year the first one to stop working was in the driver door. I figured this made sense because I am usually riding alone so this door gets more of a work out. But last month the passenger rear door lock stopped working as well. I purchased the extended warranty so both of the locks were fixed after a $100 deductible for each occurrence. This morning I notice my driver side rear door would not unlock. I figured I can't be the only person experiencing this issue.

My rear brakes were reported to have been worn out and needing replacement when I last had my oil changed 12/3/2021 at the Honda dealership. I had them resurfaced this summer when taking my vehicle in for the previous oil change and routine maintenance. After reviewing several online posts and videos, I discovered several other Honda Accord owners reporting that their back brakes are wearing out much earlier than anticipated. This makes me think there is an underlying issue and defect in the braking system.

Significant paint peeling on the roof of the vehicle on both driver and passenger side was reported to Honda prior to 36k miles. Claim submitted to American Honda has been denied but no explanation has been given.

Collision Braking Mitigation System experienced two errors (descriptions unknown). Received error message warning on display panel, but no description of errors. CMBS, LKAS, speed limit sign sensing, etc. all failed. Turning vehicle off and on several times did not restore the system. Vehicle drove fine, but all safety features were disabled.

The CMBS will slam on the brakes in wide open road condition. It happened at least 5 times. I have since made a habit to turn off the CMBS before I drive (going on 2 years turning it off). Almost caused an accident twice.

While driving on highway bridge at highway speeds (65 mph) the sunroof glass suddenly exploded and shattered. The interior shade was closed, so no glass entered the vehicle. There was a loud bang and then wind could be heard coming through the sunroof. There was no apparent damage to the sunroof glass prior to this incident and there was no evidence that an object had hit the roof of the vehicle. There was no other vehicle in front of or beside this vehicle at the time of the incident. No object was seen coming at the vehicle prior to the incident. The hole in the glass was nearly the entire size of the sunroof opening. Pictures are attached. Had the interior shade not have been closed, this incident could have been far worse since it happened while driving at fast speed across a high bridge. A safety recall should be investigated.

While using Adaptive Cruise Control the Collision Mitigation Braking System turns off with no rhyme or reason. This happens often ... 5 to 10 times per month depending upon how many miles I use the car that month. The speed of the car doesn't matter. When the CMBS turns off, the ACC also does not function. The only way to reset is to restart the car. This has happened ever since I purchased the car (new in 2018) but happens more often as time passes. I've reported this to the dealer twice. The first time I was told that the camera lens are probably dirty. (I've thoroughly cleaned the lens to no avail.) The second time the dealer updated the software. That did not solve the problem. The car has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealer. Warning lamps and messages appear when the CMBS goes out.

I was traveling about 45 mph and all of a sudden my adaptive brake system and predictive cruse control lights came on.

I was driving out of nowhere all the lights came out toke it to the dealer they fixed 2 week later I turn on my car and the same problem came out

When accelerating my vehicle it does not pick up speed as it should and there is a humming noise when doing so.

The In-car infotainment suddenly goes blank (black screen) after changing from reverse drive to Drive mode. I have to stop car put in parking and then screen comes back or else I have to un plug the mobile while driving and re plug to car play. This puts me in danger while driving.

The construction of the driver’s seat in this 2018 Honda Accord is poorly made.There is not enough padding in the seat to protect the body from the mechanical steel inner workings of the seat. I can feel the inner workings of the seat when I drive this car. I previously owned a Honda CRV and I know that this is NOT normal. The CRV was and still is a very comfortable vehicle as our daughter now owns it. There would not be any protection for the driver of this 2018 Honda Accord upon impact with another vehicle. Now I know why this vehicle had only 5161 miles on it when we purchased it July 12, 2021. It is THAT uncomfortable. I only drive it to the grocery store and back. I suspect that was the case with the previous owner as well. Otherwise, this car looks to be in pristine condition as it obviously was garage kept and still is garage kept. It feels like a jalopy.
