2018 Honda Accord complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRESS FRACTURE IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT OCCURRED WITHOUT AN IMPACT TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED BY CROWN HONDA OF SOUTHPOINT (1001 SOUTHPOINT AUTOPARK BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27713; (984) 300-4924). THE CONTACT STATED THAT FIVE DAYS AFTER THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED, THE NEW WINDSHIELD HAD A STRESS FRACTURE AS WELL. THE CONTACT CONTACTED THE SAME DEALER, WHO INQUIRED IF THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN SPORT MODE AT THE TIME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN SPORT MODE THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT THE SECOND INCIDENT. THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, HE HEARD AN ABNORMAL CRACKING SOUND. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD STARTED TO FRACTURE FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS NO IMPACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,135.

I'VE HAD MY WINDSHIELD REPLACED 2 TIMES ON MY ACCORD FOR CRACKS DUE TO ROAD DEBRIS HITTING IT IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. I WILL HAVE A 3RD REPLACEMENT SOON DUE TO THE SAME CRACKING / FRAGILITY OF THESE WINDSHIELDS. THESE WINDSHIELDS ARE INCREDIBLY SOFT TO THE POINT THAT THEY PIT RATHER EASILY FROM PEBBLES HITTING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND HONDA SHOULD OFFER A REPLACEMENT ON ALL 2018 ACCORDS WITH STRONGER GLASS. MANY ONLINE FORUMS AND SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS WITH 10TH GEN ACCORD OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE WINDSHIELDS. THEY ARE UNSAFE AND CAUSING UNDUE INSURANCE PREMIUM INCREASES BECAUSE OF HOW SOFT THE GLASS IS.

THE PAINT ROOF MY2018 ACCORD SPORT IS PEELING OFF

I WAS DRIVING THE OTHER NIGHT AT 9PM. DRY CONDITIONS AND ABOUT 65 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I HAD PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN AND AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BY CAR STARTED SENDING ME WARNING NOTICES. SEE ATTACHED PICTURES. I WAS TOLD I PROBABLY HAD BUGS ON ONE OF THE FRONT SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER A GOOD CLEANING OF THISE AREAS THIS STILL DIDN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE HONDA IS KNOWN FOR IT'S SAFETY BUT THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S NOT THE CASE ANYMORE.

2018 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND IN PARK IT BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY BACKWARDS ALMOST STRIKING THE DRIVER. *JS

THE STEERING SEEMS TO HAVE A NOTCH OR A FLAT SPOT IN IT WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD AND TO CORRECT IT WHEN YOU APPLY PRESSURE TO SWITCH LANES YOU WILL OVERSTEER THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN TWO REAR END COLLISIONS AND ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE AUTO BRAKE ACTIVATED HOWEVER THERE WAS A PIECE ON THE CENTER CONSOLE THAT HAD BECOME DISLODGED THAT TRAPPED HIS FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP DUE TO HIS FOOT BEING TRAPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN FROM THE SCENE. THE DEALER HONDA OF DOWNTOWN CHICAGO (1111 N CLARK ST STE 2, CHICAGO, IL 60610 (312) 766-1095) HAD THE BUMPER, LIGHT AND THE ONBOARD COMPUTER REPAIRED BOTH TIMES. HOWEVER, THE ISSUES RECURRED WITH THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING ,THE BACKUP CAMERA AND THE PARKING SENSOR ON THE ONBOARD COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONING AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED . THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND ALL OF THOSE ISSUES WERE FIXED EXCEPT THE CENTER CONSOLE PIECE THAT KEEPS DISLODGING. THE MANUFACTURER SAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED. THE CONSOLE PIECE REMAINS UNFIXED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

THE CMBS, SPEED FOLLOW ARE NOT WORKING WHEN YOU DRIVE 40MILES IN THE FREEWAY AND IT SAY ALWAYS SEE YOUR DEALER AND THE SEATBELT ARE VERY STIFF

MOST TIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN THEN HITTING ACCELERATOR, TO SPEED BACK UP, THE CAR "STUTTERS" INDICATING IT IS BEING ROBBED OF FUEL. NOTICED HONDA HAS A RECALL IN FOR FUEL INJECTORS, BUT MY CAR IS YET TO BE COVERED.

EVERY TIME I TRY TO DISENGAGE THE PARKING BREAK IT SHOWS A WARNING THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEMS IS FAILING.

THE VEHICLE SHIFTS ROUGH AROUND 20-30 MILES PER HOUR. TODAY WHEN I LEFT THE GROCERY STORE AND WAS DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, IT JERKED ABOUT 4 TIMES BEFORE IT DECIDED TO DRIVE SMOOTHLY. HOWEVER, ON OCCASION, IT HAS SHIFTED SO HARD THAT EVERYTHING FELL OFF MY SEAT AND ONE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO STALL IN THE INTERSECTION WHEN I HAD STARTED UP AFTER WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT. I'VE HAD THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE A FEW TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN MAY, 2018 AND EACH TIME I AM TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT IS JUST HOW IT RUNS. I'VE HAD TWO OTHER HONDAS AND LOVED THEM. I DOUBT THIS IS THE WAY HONDA INTENDED THIS VEHICLE TO RUN. FOR 2 1/2 YEARS I HAVE DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION DIRECTLY. I RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER FOR SERVICE. IT WAS THE SAME SONG AND DANCE. TODAY I WAS PRICING WHAT MY CAR WAS WORTH AND I NOTED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN, IT SAYS MY CAR IS NOT AFFECTED. FOR A MOMENT THERE, I THOUGHT JUST MAYBE I COULD FINALLY GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. NO SUCH LUCK.

IN JANUARY ,I MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED ON ME AND STOP RUNNING. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE, AND I FELT LIKE I PUT MYSELF AND 2 OTHER PASSENGERS IN DANGER. I TOOK IT INTO MY DEALER COGGIN HONDA IN FORT PIERCE FLORIDA TO BE CHECKED. THEY FOUND NO OBVIOUS REASON FOR THIS STALL. SOMETIME LATER, I READ ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP THAT DESCRIBED MY EVENT EXACTLY AS I HAD EXPERIENCED IT. WHEN I CHECKED THE RECALL, MY VIN # [XXX] IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND YOUR PUBLIC RELATIONS THAT SAID THEY CAN NOT REPAIR MY CAR BECAUSE ITS NOT ON THE LIST. I HAVE SAFELY DRIVEN HONDAS FOR MANY YEARS BUT WITH THIS SITUATION I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND HESITATE TO TRADE IT IN FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DRIVE. CAN YOU HELP ME AND GIVE MY DEALER PERMISSION TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THIS FUEL PUMP AT YOUR EXPENSE AS IT SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST ?

AC COMPRESSOR AND CLUTCH WENT OUT AT 26K MILES AND WAS REPLACED ON AUGUST 22 NINE 2019AND AGAIN AT 53K MILES. IT WAS REPLACED BY TAMERON HONDA IN HOOVER ALABAMA. IT HAS BEEN OUT SINCE 53,000 MILES AND I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPLACED BECAUSE I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PART.

PAINT IS CHIPPING AND PEELING ON HOOD, ROOF, DOORS AND DOOR HANDLES. CAR IS PARKED IN GARAGE EVERY NIGHT AND IN PRIVATE PARKING SPACE AT WORK. NEVER UNDER A TREE OR EXPOSED TO ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

THE SCREEN FREQUENTLY POPS UP THE WARNING OF TIRES, ABS AND OTHER ISSUES ON THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER. AFTER INSPECTION, EVERYTHING IS FINE. IT SUSPECTED AS BUGS FOR THE SYSTEM, BUT REALLY MISLEADING AND IMPACTED ON THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM HAD EXISTED FOR 1+ YEAR WITHOUT FIX.

REAR ROTOR ARE TOTALLY WORN OUT. JUST HAPPEN 7/31/2020, PURCHASE JAN 01/01/2028. HONDA ACCORD SPORT 1.5T. 43K ON. ITS VERY UNUSUAL THIS HAPPEN TO A REAR ROTOR AND BRAKES .USUALLY FRONT FIRST BUT YES THIS IS JUST A NOTE TO ALL 20'S HONDA TO BE AWARE OF BUYING THIS TYPE OF CAR. PLEASE HELP EVERY ONE SO CONSUMER ARE BE PROTECTED TO THESE RIPOFF. THANK YOU BE SAFE OUT THERE.

FUEL IS LEAKING INTO ENGINE OIL. MY MECHANIC SAID HE CAN SMELL THE FUEL IN THE OIL WHEN CHANGING OIL. ALSO THE OIL LEVEL INCREASES WHEN CHECKING OIL LEVEL OVER TIME. THIS OCCURS WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER GETTING COFFEE WITH ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP SAYING " COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM FAULT" PLEASE VISIT DEALER", I'VE READ THAT IT CAN GET BUG JUICE ON IT AND CAUSE IT TO SAY THAT BUT I WIPED MINE OFF AND IT IS STILL SAYING THAT AFTER I RESTARTED THE CAR, HAVE READ FROM MANY CAR GROUPS THAT THIS HAPPENS ALOT WITH THESE CARS.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING OF THE CAR WHICH SO FAR HAS ONLY PRESENTED ITSELF IN WINTER WHEN THE TEMPERATURES ARE LOWER. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED IN NOVEMBER OF 2019 WHEN THE CAR HAD ROUGHLY 18,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS LEASED TO ME AS A NEW VEHICLE, AND I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS SPENT APPRECIABLE TIME DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55+ MPH IN COLD WEATHER, IT REQUIRES HIGHER THAN NORMAL EFFORT TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FROM ITS ON-CENTER POSITION (SUCH AS TO MAKE MINOR CORRECTIONS TO MAINTAIN LANE POSITION). IF ENOUGH EFFORT IS EXERTED, THE STEERING WHEEL BREAKS FREE AND THEN ALLOWS THE CAR TO BE STEERED WITH NORMAL EFFORT UNTIL THE WHEEL AGAIN REMAINS ON-CENTER FOR A FEW SECONDS, AT WHICH POINT IT BECOMES "STICKY" AGAIN, REQUIRING HIGH EFFORT TO MOVE. AT THIS POINT IT ONLY OCCURS AT THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE, BUT MY CONCERN IS THIS COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD THE EFFORT BECOME ANY HIGHER, REQUIRING SUCH FORCE TO MOVE THE WHEEL THAT THE RESULT WILL BE TO SWERVE OUT OF ONE'S LANE WHEN IT BREAKS FREE, OR EVEN LOCKING ON CENTER ALTOGETHER, MAKING THE CAR UNCONTROLLABLE BY THE DRIVER. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A PURELY MECHANICAL ISSUE (E.G. AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING RACK) BECAUSE TURNING THE IGNITION OFF RETURNS THE STEERING TO NORMAL EFFORT AND THE "STICKING" IS RESOLVED. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL NHTSA COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND IN INTERNET SEARCHES THAT DESCRIBE PRECISELY THE SAME

2018 ACCORD RANDOMLY AND AUTOMATICALLY BRAKES HARD WHEN NO OBVIOUS HAZARD IS AROUND. THE ACC WILL TURN OFF AND ERROR IS DISPLAYED SAYING SEE YOUR DEALER. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF IT RESETS AND ACC IS RUNNING AGAIN. I AM GETTING VERY NERVOUS DRIVING THIS CAR ON HIGHWAYS.

ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM KICKS ON AND WILL VIOLENTLY STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. EACH TIME THERE HAS BEEN NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME OR EVEN NEAR ME THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO OCCUR. ADDITIONALLY, EACH TIME I WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER THAN 45-50 MILE PER HOUR. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE CAR BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR-ENDED ME BUT AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT BY QUICKLY SHIFTING OVER TO THE NEXT LANE. THIS ACTION OF COURSE CAUSED A POTENTIAL ROAD RAGE EXCHANGE BECAUSE THE DRIVER HAD NO IDEA MY CAR HAD MALFUNCTIONED.

I RECENTLY FINANCED A VEHICLE THRU AMERICAN FINANCE CORPORATION VIA VANDERGRIFF HONDA (1104 W I-20 ; ARLINGTON, TEXAS 76017). SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE A RECALL REPAIR WAS REQUIRED FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS WORK WAS DONE AND COMPLETED ON JUNE 30TH, 2020. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON JULY 1ST, 2020 FROM THE SERVICE CENTER. ON JULY 9TH, 2020 THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND STALLED IN A RESIDENTIAL PARKING LOT. I PHONED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE GIVING MY VEHICLE ID AND LOCATION,THEREAFTER A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AND TOWED TO THE VEHICLE TO RUSTY WALLIS HONDA. I WAS CONTACTED BY [XXX] (SERVICE ADVISOR) WHO INFORMED THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED MY VEHICLE FROM OVERNIGHT AND THAT "THEY WERE ABLE TO START MY VEHICLE". SHE ALSO STATED THAT IF THE ISSUE TURNS OUT TO BE THE BATTERY, THAT VANDERGRIFF HONDA WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THIS PURCHASE WAS WITHIN 30DAYS. THE NEXT CALL I RECEIVED I WAS INFORMED THAT ISSUE WAS NOT THE BATTERY, BUT RATHER A "GAS ISSUE". AT THAT MOMENT I INFORMED HER THAT THE RECALL REPAIR THAT WAS COMPLETED ON JUNE 30TH WAS THE "FUEL PUMP MOTOR". WITH THIS INFORMATION NOTED THAT SINCE THAT WAS A RECALL REPAIR( THE FUEL PUMP MOTOR) THAT REPAIR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WOULD UPDATE ME ON THE CONTINUING REPAIR. I WAS CONTACTED THE NEXT DAY BY AND INFORMED ME THAT A FUEL INJECTOR RAIL PART THAT WAS NEEDED IS BEING ORDERED, HOWEVER BECAUSE IT WAS SATUDAY THAT THIS PART WOULD NOT BE IN STOCK UNTIL TUEDAY JULY 14, 2020. ON JULY 15TH I CALLED INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. UPON SPEAKING T

MOST RECENTLY,I WAS DROPPING OFF A FRIEND. WITH MY CAR RUNNING AND IN PARK. THE DASH BOARD LIT UP WITH MANY WARNINGS LKA,MITIGATION, THE BRAKE DEFECTIVE.(SEE DEALER IMMEDIATELY) I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. THE NEXT MORNING (SUNDAY) BACK TO NORMAL. L MONDAY MORNING I'M AT THE HONDA DEALER, COUNTING TWO OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMSTHIS MAKES THE THIRD TIME THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY CAN NOT FIND CODES OR REPLICATE THE PROBLEM COME GET IT. I TOLD THEM I WAS TIRED OF DRIVING A DANGEROUS AND UNRELIABLE CAR. I BOUGHT FOR 40000.DEC21,2017,IT HAS223?? MILES AND G.M. OFFERED ME21800. FOR CAR(WITHOUT TAXES)

EVENING BEFORE PROBLEM STARTED IT WAS A HEAVY RAIN IN NYC. MORNING I STARTED THE CAR AND WAS IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED 4 MESSAGES: "LKAS: LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER.". "ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER.", "BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER.", "AUTO HIGH BEAM PROBLEM. MANUAL CONTROLS AVAILABLE. SEE YOUR DEALER.". TURN SIGNALS DID NOT WORK. HAZARD LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. TRUNK RELEASE DID NOT WORK. BACKUP CAMERA DID NOT WORK. MOVED TO DEALER (25 MINUTES AWAY). BUT DID NOT START THE SERVICE. AFTER TURNING OFF AND START THE CAR AGAIN ALL DISPLAYED FAILURES WERE GONE. WAITING FOR THE NEXT HEAVY RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRAINGER HONDA (1596 CHATHAM PKWY, SAVANNAH, GA 31408) TO BE INSPECTED. THERE WAS NO CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 27,000.

WHILE DRIVING NOTICED AC BLOWING HOT AIR. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, ISSUE: CONDENSER LEAKING FREON. NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT. ADVISED TO CALL DEALERSHIP AS THEY HAD A RECALL ON 2016 HONDAS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I PROBABLY HIT SOMETHING THAT PUNCTURED IT. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. APPARENTLY THE FREON LEAKING IS FLAMMABLE. IF OTHER VEHICLES FROM HONDA WERE RECALLED THIS COULD LIKELY BE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A 2018 MODEL.

AC CONDENSER LEAKING NEW TYPE OF REFRIGERANT (1234YF) WHICH APPARENTLY IS FLAMMABLE. HONDA SERVICE REP SAYS CONDENSER WAS "PROBABLY" PUNCTURED BY A FOREIGN OBJECT FROM THE ROAD. HOWEVER, HONDA HAS RECOGNIZED DEFECTIVE CONDENSERS LEAKING REFRIGERANT IN 2018 CIVICS AND HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES FOR 10 YEARS FOR THESE AND OTHER MODEL YEARS. I SUSPECT THAT MY ACCORD CONDENSER WAS MANUFACTURED WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR DEFECT. I PURCHASED MY ACCORD IN SPRING OF 2018 AT A TIME WHEN NOT MANY WERE BEING SOLD, WHICH MAY EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS NOT YET A RECOGNIZED DEFECT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN COMMUTING, UNTIL RECENTLY, LONG DISTANCES FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY KIND OF AC PROBLEM OR HAD A FOREIGN OBJECT PUNCTURE AN AC CONDENSER. IN ANY EVENT, AS I UNDERSTAND THE NEW REFRIGERANT IS FLAMMABLE, SO IF THIS IS ANOTHER MANUFACTURING DEFECT THEN IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

REAR BREAKS WEAR OUT ONLY AFTER 14,000 MILES. PURCHASED CAR BRAND NEW AND REAR BREAKS DID NOT LAST MORE THAN 14,000 MILES. I AM VERY GENTLE DRIVER AND EXPECT TO REAR BREAKS TO LAST AT LEAST 24,000 OR MORE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY CAR JUST BRAKES. IT DOESN'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT IT IS DANGEROUS. IF I DON'T PUT ON MY TURN SIGNAL BEFORE I START TO CHANGE LANES IT WILL BRAKE. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT IT HAS STARTED DOING IT MORE FREQUENTLY. *TR

PAINT IS PEELING ON THE FRONT BUMPER, TRUNK, HOOD, AND DOOR HANDLES. PAINT APPEARS TO BE CORRODING ON THE DOOR HANDLE AND RUBS OFF EVEN MORE WHEN TOUCHED. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITH THE DOOR HANDLES IN 2019 AND HAS NOW SPREADED TO OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, PARKED AT MY HOME WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUE. BOTH IN 2019 AND ON TODAY, 6/19/2020. *TR

SO THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WITH THE CRASH MITIGATION SYSTEM TURNED ON. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL TRIGGER THE SYSTEM WITH A FALSE POSITIVE CRASH DETECTION AND WILL EMERGENCY BRAKE FOR YOU AND CUT THE GAS SO YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD A FEW FALSE POSITIVES. THE FIRST 2 TIMES WAS A COMPLETE HORROR STORY. I WAS DRIVING IN A HIGH-SPEED ENVIRONMENT, WHILE A TRUCK WAS MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY, I WAS SUPPOSED TO ACCELERATE PAST HIM AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT BEEPED AND HALT TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY THE SEMI EVADED ME AND I REGAIN CONTROL AND SPEED OUT OF THE WAY. 2ND TIME WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER SEMI, I WAS LUCKY THAT PEOPLE GOT OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE TRUCK TO CLEAR ME. THE 3RD TIME OCCURRED JUST LAST WEEK ON THURSDAY. THERE WAS A CAR 5 CAR DISTANCE FROM ME, LEFT OF ME HAS A ROW OF CARS MAKING A LEFT, FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. WELL, SOMEHOW IT DECIDED TO GO APE[XXX] AND CAUSED ME TO GET REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PLEASE SEE DEALER . THAT'S THE MESSAGE THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS ON THE DASHBOARD . HAS APPEARED 3 TIMES IN 7 MONTHS . APPEARS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO NHTSA RECALL 18V-629/MFR ID V2F (REAR CAMERA). AFTER BEING "REPAIRED" ONCE UNDER THIS RECALL, THE REAR CAMERA FAILED A SECOND TIME! THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT AS THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN THEY LEARNED THAT I HAD ALREADY HAD IT REPAIRED ONCE (BY THEM), THEY CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA. HONDA THEN REQUIRED ME TO PAY FOR A BRAND NEW CAMERA FOR MY 2018 ACCORD WHICH WAS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. *TR

AUTO BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. NO CARS, NO BIKES AROUND. IT SIMPLY STOPPED IN THE INTERSECTION. *TR

TACHMETER DISAPEARED HAVIG SOFTWARE ISSUE GLITCH AND SEEN TIS MULTIPLE TIME OTHER VIHECLE AFTER JUST TURINING ON THE CAR IN PARK. *TR

THERE ARE NUMEROUS FACTORY PAINT DEFECTS INCLUDING ON THE REAR DOOR, TRUCK LID, AND ROOF. THE PAINT QUALITY IS VERY POOR. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAVE CONTACTED HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA, THEY ARE BOTH UNRESPONSIVE TO MY DEMANDS TO MAKE REPAIRS. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 3-YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. *TR

DURING A 400 MILE HIGHWAY ROAD TRIP IN NOVEMBER 2019 MY 2018 ACCORD STEERING STARTED TO STICK. IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE TO BREAK A HITCH TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD. TWICE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED NOTHING WAS DONE. MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS I READ THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DURING LONG TRIPS, SO UNLESS THE TECH TAKES THE VEHICLE ON A TRIP THE PROBLEM WILL NOT BE DUPLICATED. MAYBE THE VEHICLE OR A COMPONENT ON THE VEHICLE HAS TO REACH A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE FOR THE ISSUE TO SHOW. TURNING OFF FEATURES I PURCHASED ON THE CAR IS NOT A FIX!!! THIS ISSUE TOOK THE JOY OUT OF OWNING THIS CAR. I WANT A REPLACEMENT ON HONDA'A DIME!!!!!

500 MILE TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE, STEERING IS AGAIN (THIRD TIME NOW) FEELING STICKY OR LIKE IT GETS STUCK WHEN MAKING SMALL CORRECTIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED ONCE, SINCE THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT IT IS BACK AGAIN.

THE PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE STARTED THREE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT IN NOVEMBER 2018. I HAVE FOUR DOCUMENTED CASES WITH THE DEALERSHIP. AS WELL AS 7 VIDEOS OF THE INCIDENT TAKEN PLACE WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE TACHOMETER AND ENTIRE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING ENTERTAINMENT CENTER, SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHILE USING THE GPS. THE SYSTEM REBOOTS ITSELF WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. HONDA CORPORATE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAD NOT PROVIDED A FIX FOR THE ISSUE TO DATE, DESPITE REPRESENTATIONS THAT SUCH FIXES WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY FALL OF LAST YEAR. I ALSO HAVE VOICEMAIL FROM THE SERVICE AND PARTS DIRECTOR OF THE DEALERSHIP ADMITTING FAULT AND NO FIXES FOR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE I CAN SHARE. FOR "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?", I HAVE PUT THE APPROXIMATE LAST TIME THIS ISSUE AROSE. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND HAS BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2018. PLEASE NOTE THAT MY PDF FILES CANNOT GO BELOW 6MB, SO I NEED TO SUBMIT THAT TO YOU SOME OTHER WAY WHEN YOU CONTACT ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THE TACHOMETER GOES COMPLETELY OUT AND WON'T CYCLE BACK ON WITHOUT LEAVING THE CAR OFF FOR A GREAT DEAL OF TIME. MOST OF THE TIME THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU REMOTE START THE CAR USING THE KEY FOB OR THE APP.

WHILE DRIVING ON ANY TYPE OF ROADWAY, WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM 1ST TO 2ND THE GEARS GRIND AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR, THOUGH THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED.

THE PAINT IS COMING OFF IN SPOTS AND IS SHOWING RUST. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN THE GARAGE AND CLEANED REGULARLY. THE SPOTS ARE ON THE BACK TRUNK, BACK BUMPER, SIDES BY THE BACK DOORS, BY THE WHEEL WELLS IN FRONT AND BACK.

IT DOES IT OWN BRAKING AT NIGHT WHEN ITS GETTING DARK OR WHEN .IM GOING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT STOPPLNG ME FROM A SPEED OF 45 TO DOWN TO 20-25 IN A SPLINT SECOND ALMOST GETTING ME REAR -ENDED THE DASH BOARD WILL LIGHT UP BRAKE -BRAKE IN RED AN CAR SHAKES ITS HAPPEND 3 TIMES MAYBE MORE TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WENT ON CAR COMPLAINT SITE AN THERES TONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM IM ONLY LEASING THIS CAR IM FINDING ITS MORE OF A DEATHTRAP

SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR WILL STALL MOMENTARILY, JOLTING ME UNTIL IT RECOVERS AND NORMAL SPEED IS RESUMED. RECOVERY IS A FEW SECONDS BUT THE STALL IS SIGNIFICANT.

ONLY THE REAR BRAKE PADS HAVE COMPLETELY DEPLETED WITHOUT ANY OF THE OTHER ONES BEING CLOSE TO DEPLETING. ROTOR IS NOW GRINDING ON METAL BACKING PLATE OF PAD. CAR HAS BEEN IN NORMAL USE FOR 70,000 MI.

ACCORD ACCELERATES TO SURGE AT RANDOM - IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES. TWO TIMES WHEN WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, ONE TIME ON THE STREET, AND ONE TIME WAS WHEN WE WERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT! WE HAD TO BRAKE VERY, VERY HARD, AND USE OUR EMERGENCY BRAKE! WE ARE LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS IN THE CROSS-WALK WHEN THIS OCCURRED. AS YOU SEE IN THE ATTACHED RECEIPT, THE PROBLEM IS THE TAPE USED WHEN OUR ACCORD WAS BUILT. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ONCE PER MONTH AT THEIR LOCATION WHERE CARS ARE BROUGHT IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE WIRES ARE FAULTY BECAUSE RODENTS ARE ATTRACTED TO CHEW ON THE CARS WIRES SPECIFICALLY. WHEN WE CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND HAS MADE RAT TAPE TO ADDRESS IT, BUT THAT HONDA IS WAITING TO HIT A CERTAIN NUMBER NUMBERS OF COMPLAINTS SO THAT IT IS ENOUGH TO MEET ITS THRESHOLD BEFORE ISSUING A FULL RECALL.

2018 HONDA ACCORD. SAT IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT, NORMAL WEATHER, REAR WINDOW FINE AT 7PM AND AT 7AM IT WAS SHATTERED. NO VISIBLE REASON AS TO WHY IT WOULD HAVE SHATTERED. WINDOW HAD TINT ON IT SO WINDOW STAYED INTACT. EDGES ALL AROUND WERE BREAKING AWAY.

THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED EXCESSIVE GAS/OIL SMELL HALFWAY THROUGH THE OIL CHANGE CYCLE EVEN WHEN THE MAINTENANCE MINDER SHOWS 70% OIL LIFE. THE SMELL OCCURS WHEN DRIVING IN THE MIDWEST AND CAUSES THE GARAGE TO SMELL LIKE AN OIL/GAS MIXTURE. OIL DILUTION HAS BEGUN OCCURRING EVEN WHEN PROVIDED ENOUGH TIME TO WARM UP.

CAR ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, NO ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEMS SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS OCCURRED DURING BOTH DAY AND NIGHT TIME AND HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES. THE RADAR PANEL WAS NOT OBSTRUCTED. THE CMBS CAN ONLY BE RESET BY STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER'S CUSTOMER SUPPORT WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE CONTACTED AT LEAST TWO DEALER SERVICE CENTERS WITH THIS PROBLEM, NO RESOLUTION. THEY SAY THEY NEED TO SEE THE ERROR CODE - PROBLEM IS, THE WARNING RESETS WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER CUSTOMERS ON THE CAR COMPLAINTS WEBSITE. MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON 06 FEB 2020. THE CMBS HAS SHUT DOWN AT DIFFERENT MILEAGES, BOTH IN AND OUT OF THE CARS WARRANTY.
