2018 Honda Accord complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON 14 SOUTH MY SPEED WAS 55 TO 60 I HEAR LOTS SOUND AND CAR WAS NOT IN MY CONTROL I FEEL MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL CAME OUT AND I ALMOST DIE RIM WAS BROKE DURING DRIVE

THE CAR HAS AN ISSUE THAT WHEN YOU DRIVE LONGER DISTANCES IT DEVELOPS A 'STICK-SLIP' FEELING ON THE STEERING, E.G. IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFORT TO OVERCOME THE FORCE IT TAKES TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR CENTERED IN THE LANE. OTHERS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME BEHAVIOR. I DO HAVE A SECOND, IDENTICAL VEHICLE WHICH SHOWS THE SAME BEHAVIOR.

THIS CAR ALMOST KILLED ME ON HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING 70 MILES/H IT DECIDED TO TAP BREAKS BY ITSELF(SLOW DOWN) THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND IT WAS NOT ANY CAR IN FRONT OF ME.I TOOK IT TO A DEALER THEY RESTARTED THE SYSTEM SAID EVERYTHING IT'S FINE NOW BUT DID NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM THE SAME DAY I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH IT.I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN IT.

I WAS DRIVING ON EXPRESS WAY ON 7/5/19 EARLY MORNING. THE CAR SHAKE AND SLOW DOWN ALL OF THE SUDDEN. I WOULD BE KILLED IF THERE'S A CAR BEHINE ME. I PULLED TO THE CURB, AND TRY TO RESTART THE CAR AND GO, BUT IT KEEPS SHAKUNG IN THE BEGINNING. SO I CALLED HONDA FOR TOW TRUCK, THAT A LEASED CAR. BUT LATER I TRIED AGAIN, IT SEEMS THE CAR COULD GO, SO I DROVE HOME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR FEW DAYS, AND THE TRANSMISSION COULDN'T SHIFT SMOOTHLY SINCE THEN. LOOKS LIKE A LEMON. ONLY 9000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE MORE PICTURES ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THE SYSTEM WON'T ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD MORE THAN 5

I WENT ON A 200 MILE TRIP YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY SPEED 60-80 MPH I FELT LIKE MY STEERING WHEEL WAS KINDA STICKY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO DO MINOR CORRECTIONS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. AND WHEN I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT WAS LIKE FREE PLAY AND CAR WAS SWERVING LEFT OR RIGHT. I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH ME IT FELT LIKE I PUT HER LIFE IN DANGER. IT ONLY HAPPENED FOR FIRST TIME. USUALLY I DRIVE THIS CAR IN CITY WILL TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK. ALL IN ALL IT'S VERY SERIOUS AND SCARY ISSUE. I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CRASHES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ENTERING VEHICLE THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD FRACTURED AT THE TRIM LINE INTO THE WINDOW. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO AN IMPACT. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000 THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON HIGHWAY, STEERING WHEEL LIGHTLY "LOCKS INTO A NOTCH". GENTLY APPLYING PRESSURE GRADUALLY WILL BREAK IT LOOSE, BUT CAUSES THE CAR TO LIGHTLY SWERVE WHEN IT DOES (NOTICEABLE TO PASSENGERS). THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FOLLOW A LEFT OR RIGHT CURVE OR WHEN KEEPING THE CAR IN THE LANE ON A STRAIGHTAWAY. THE PROBLEM IS MUCH LESS APPARENT WHEN LKAS IS ENGAGED. PROBLEM APPEARED ON 2018 ACCORD AT APPROX 10,000 MILES. PROBLEM APPEARED SUDDENLY AND WAS NOT PRECEEDED BY ANYTHING OUT THE ORDINARY. PROBLEM SO FAR OCCURED 2 DAYS CONSECUTIVELY. PROBLEM SHOWS UP AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH AND AFTER CAR HAS BEEN AT THAT SPEED FOR OVER APPROX 3 MINUTES. AT SPEEDS UNDER 40 MPH THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST.

SAME AS OTHER PEOPLE - I JUTS COPIED ANOTHER PERSONS COMPLAINT AS ITS IDENTICAL AND SAME MILEAGE ETC' - THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM' CAR HAS ALMOST 15,000 MILES. IT HAS DEVELOPED A STRANGE STICKING ISSUE IN THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS LIGHTLY HOLDING ONTO THE WHEEL AS I?M SLIGHTLY TURNING AND THEN SUDDENLY LET?S GO. THIS CAUSES ME TO OVERCORRECT TO STAY IN THE LANE AND IT BECOMES A FIGHT TO KEEP THE CAR IN BETWEEN LANES. IT IS MOST APPARENT WHEN EXITING FREEWAY RAMPS AND CHANGING LANES, ALTHOUGH IT?S ALSO APPARENT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SMALL CORRECTIONS ARE NEEDED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN BETWEEN LANES. THE OTHER SYMPTOM IS THAT THE CAR HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IT REQUIRES CONSTANT LIGHT CORRECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE THE CAR SWAYS BETWEEN THE LINES ON THE FREEWAY LANE. THIS IS INCREDIBLY TIRESOME ON A LONG DRIVE AND IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST 2,000-3,000 MILES. DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT IT?S THE LANE KEEP ASSIST DOING IT?S JOB. IT?S NOT DOING IT?S JOB IF I CAN?T CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND MAKES HIGHWAY TRACKING UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE TURNED EVERY ASSIST OFF AND IT STILL DOES IT.

ON JANUARY 4TH WHILE TRAVELING HOME MY ACCORD WAS SET IN CRUISE CONTROL AND OUT OF THE BLUE HIT THE BRAKES ON IT'S OWN WITH NO ONE AROUND ME. I BRUSHED IT OFF BUT ABOUT 20 MILES OR SO DOWN THE ROAD IT DID IT AGAIN EXCEPT THUS TE WAS NEXT TO A DIESEL AND NOT ONLY DID BRAKE ON ITS ON IT ALSO RESPONDED AS IF I WAS OUT MY LANE AND BEGAN TO TO TURN MY CAR INTO THE DIESEL I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM CRASHING AND THE THE CRUISE CONTROL WENT OUT AND I BEGAN TO GET A MESSAGE THE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING MECHANISM. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE REMAINDER OF OF MY TRIP BUT I WAS AN HOUR AND HALF AWAY FROM HOME SO TRAVELED ON HOME CHECK MY BRAKES CONSTANTLY. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS MY WIFE AND I RATTLED. I TOOK MY CAR IN ON THE 6TH TO TOPEKA HONDA AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT THE CAR TRIED TO KILL ME AND MY WIFE BY TRYING TO RUN US INTO A DIESEL TRUCK AND HOW IT WAS BRAKING ON ITS OWN AND THE TOOK AND LOOKED AT IT . THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME BACK A STATED"THERE WAS SOME GUNK ON YOUR CENSOR AND THAT CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN AND THEY CLEANED IT OFF IT WAS FINE" BUT IF THE CENSOR IS ON THE FRONT OFF THE CSR AND GUNK MAKES IT NOT WORK SURELY THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE NOR WILL I ALLOW MY WIFE TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE.

CAR HAS ALMOST 15,000 MILES. IT HAS DEVELOPED A STRANGE STICKING ISSUE IN THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS LIGHTLY HOLDING ONTO THE WHEEL AS I'M SLIGHTLY TURNING AND THEN SUDDENLY LET'S GO. THIS CAUSES ME TO OVERCORRECT TO STAY IN THE LANE AND IT BECOMES A FIGHT TO KEEP THE CAR IN BETWEEN LANES. IT IS MOST APPARENT WHEN EXITING FREEWAY RAMPS AND CHANGING LANES, ALTHOUGH IT'S ALSO APPARENT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SMALL CORRECTIONS ARE NEEDED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN BETWEEN LANES.

THIS IS INCREDIBLY TIRESOME ON A LONG DRIVE AND IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST 2,000-3,000 MILES. DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT IT'S THE LANE KEEP ASSIST DOING IT'S JOB. IT'S NOT DOING IT'S JOB IF I CAN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND MAKES HIGHWAY TRACKING UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE TURNED EVERY ASSIST OFF AND IT STILL DOES IT. AS A COMPARISON, MY WIFE HAS A 2017 EX ACCORD WITH 28,000 MILES AND IT DOESN'T EXHIBIT ANY OF THE SYMPTOMS THAT MY 2018 DOES. BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SUPPORT AND KNOWLEDGE BY THE DEALER, WE FEEL OUR ONLY CHOICE IS TO TRADE THIS CAR IN AS THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ANNOYANCE, BUT A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED/STATIONARY ON SEMI-FLAT A SCHOOL PARKING LOT. WHEN I LOOKED BACK THE VEHICLES MOVED. SEEMS THE PARKING GEAR DID NOT FULLY ENGAGED. REGARDLESS VEHICLE WAS NOT IN NEUTRAL OR DRIVE AND IT STILL MOVED FORWARD WITH NO ONE ON IT, NO KEYS INSIDE AND ENGINE OFF. VEHICLE HIT ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. LUCKILY NO ONE GOT HURT. SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION/CVT SYSTEM MAY BE AT FAULT, BUT UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.

DRIVING AT THE HIGHWAY, CAR SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN FROM 70MPH TO 40-50MPH,THERE WERE ANY CAR IN FRONT OF ME! I HAVE NOTHING ON MY WINDSHIELD! THERE WEREN'T ANY STOP OR TRAFFIC SIGN! SO HONDA STOP SAYING I AM DRIVING RECKLESSLY! FOR FEW SECOND I REGAINED CONTROL OF GAS, I HAVE TO SPEED UP MY CAR SO I DON'T GET REAR END, THEN EVERYTHING HAPPEN AGAIN, CAR DECIDED TO TAP BRAKE BY ITSELF. THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIME DURING THE HIGHWAY DRIVING. SCREEN POP UP SAID COLLISION MITIGATION BREAK SYSTEM ERROR. PLEASE CONTACT HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER CONTACT DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINED THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ERROR DID NOT SHOW UP DURING THEIR IN HOUSE TESTING. AND YES, ERROR CODE DISAPPEARED AFTER CAR RESTARTED. BUT PROBLEM CONSISTS AFTER LONG DISTANCE DRIVE. I DON'T KNOW I SHOULD DRIVE THIS CAR OR I HAVE PRAY YOU GOD THAT ONE DAY I DON'T GET REAR END BECAUSE HONDA ACCORD DECIDES TO BRAKE ITSELF!

HERE IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THIS CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND TWO DEALERS WILL NOT FIX UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTEE BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE AND THERE ARE NO STORED ERROR CODES. THIS CAR HAS A LANE DEPARTURE MITIGATION (LDM) SYSTEM THAT HAS FALSELY ACTIVATED MANY TIMES WHILE THE CAR IS CENTERED ON THE DRIVING LANE. THE LDM ACTIVATES BY PROVIDING A WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD AND BY MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL QUICKLY TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT WHICH DISTRACTS THE DRIVER (A SAFETY ISSUE) AND ONCE CAUSED ME TO ALMOST STEER THE CAR INTO A SEMI ON MY RIGHT BY COMPENSATING FOR THE LEFT STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENT. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A LANE KEEP ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) WHICH REPEATEDLY HAS STEERED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. BOTH THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RECORDED AND PROVIDED TO AHM AND BOTH DEALERS. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN RANDOMLY ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. ADDITIONALLY, THIS CAR HAS ISSUES WITH RANDOMLY DISPLAYING AN INCORRECT SPEED LIMIT ON THE DASHBOARD (100 MPH IN A 60 MPH ZONE), FALSELY WARNING "STEERING IS REQUIRED" ON THE DASHBOARD, A "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING WHILE REPOSITIONING THE CAR AND THE ENGINE IS ON, AND THE BRAKE ASSIST/ANTI-COLLISION FALSELY ACTIVATING WHEN NOTHING IS DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF THE CAR. ALL OF THESE HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS OPERATING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS WHEN THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN WHILE USING ACC (CRUISE CONTROL) THE SYSTEM WILL FAIL CAUSING THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE.EVER TIME THIS HAPPENS 3 TIMES SO FAR I WAS DRIVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. MOST TIME THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH. TRAFFIC WENT FROM POSTED LIMIT TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP.THE CAR WOULD START TO SLOW DOWN THEN THE SYSTEM WOULD FAIL, ALLOWING THE CAR TO CONTINUE FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION. THE MESSAGE "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM SEE YOUR DEALER" IS DISPLAYED. HONDA HAS A TSB 19-051 THAT TALKS ABOUT THE ISSUE. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP ABOUT ISSUE THEY REFUSED TO DO THE TSB.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OVERLY-BRIGHT. IN THE LOW-BEAM POSITION THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A PAINFUL EVEN TO GLANCE AT. WHEN THE CAR GOES OVER A BUMP THE HEADLIGHTS MAKE AN EVEN MORE BRIGHT FLASH. WITH SO MANY CARS LIKE THIS ON THE ROADS THE DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE BECOMING DANGEROUS AS THE BLINDING HEADLIGHTS CREATE BOTH DISCOMFORT AND DISABILITY GLARE AS WELL AS A SUBSTANTIAL DISTRACTION. THOSE BLINDING LED HEADLIGHTS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE EXTERNAL PAINT OF OUR VEHICLE IS THIN AND FRAGILE, IT CHIPS AND SCRATCHES QUITE EASILY EVEN IF CONTACTED BY PLASTIC SUCH AS A CHILD SEAT OR CAMERA LENSE COVER, NEVER MIND WHAT AN INCONSIDERATE PARKING NEIGHBOR, SHOPPING CART OR ROAD DEBRIS DO TO IT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP; WHO OFFERED TO FIX THE PAINT, THEN REVOKED HIS OFFER. AND AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. WHO OPENED A CASE AND THEN CLOSED IT, IGNORING MY RESPONSES TO THEIR COMMUNICATIONS. ATTACHED ARE COPIES OF MY COMMUNICATIONS.

2018 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T TOURING WITH 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, MILEAGE < 1000. TRANSMISSION HAS ROUGH SHIFTING FROM 2ND INTO 3RD GEAR AT LOW RPMS/SPEED (2,000 RPM / < 14MPH) FEELING LIKE A MANUAL SHIFT CAR POPPING THE CLUTCH. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN CAR IS COLD OR WARMED UP, CAR IS IN THE NORTHEAST WITH COLD OR HOT WEATHER. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS DON'T DROP WHEN IT HAPPENS WHICH CREATES THE SLAM INTO GEAR FEELING JUDDER. UNDER SLIGHTLY HARDER BUT NORMAL ACCEIERATION THE CAR SHIFTS (LIKE A MANUAL CAR ) AS IF DOUBLE CLUTCHING FROM 2-3RD FEELING LIKE ITS SKIPPING A GEAR BUT ITS VERY QUICK AS YOU HEAR THE ENGINE REVS BLIP BETWEEN SHIFTS. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO OBSERVED THE SAME ROUGH SHIFTING AND TOLD BY DEALER IT DOES SHIFT LIKE THIS COMPARED TO OTHER ACCORD VEHICLES. DEALER INDICATED THEY WOULD ONLY OBSERVE THE CONDITION SINCE HONDA HAS NO OFFICIAL TSA OUT YET. I SHOWED HIM THE ACURA VIDEO FOR THE SAME ENGINE/TRANS A CLUTCH FIX BREAK-IN THAT'S WAS USED TO HELP SOLVE SOME REPORTED ROUGH SHIFTING AND HONDA DEALER WOULD NOT USE IT GIVEN ACURA USE CASE. I AM ON 7,000 MILES BUT UNDER 1YR OWNERSHIP AND THE SAME ROUGH SHIFT CONDITION EXIST BUT LESS SEVERE. SOME INTERNET REPORTS STATE ROUGH SHIFTING GOES AWAY ABOVE 7K MILES AS THE TRANSMISSION BREAKS-IN AND THE SOFTWARE LEARNS THE DRIVING BEHAVIOR BUT IT REALLY HAS NOT IN MY EXPERIENCE. HARD ACCELERATION GOING ABOVE 4500 RPM THE CAR SHIFTS QUITE NORMALLY AND SMOOTHLY AND DOES NOT EXHIBIT THE LOW SPEED ROUGH SHIFTING IN ANY

THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM HAS THROWN AN ERROR AND STOPPED WORKING 5 TIMES NOW. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON LONG ROAD TRIPS ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 50+ MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED LESS THAN 30 MINUTES AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIMES AFTER 2+ HOURS OF DRIVING. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS HAVE RANGED FROM CLOUDY TO FINE (NO SNOW OR RAIN). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC.

I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND ONCE I HIT ABOUT 10-15 MPH, THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM CAME ON AND SLAMMED THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE A DASH CAMERA VIDEO WHICH SHOWS THE INCIDENT. THIS WAS ON A CLEAR, SUNNY DAY ON A NON-BUSY CITY STREET (OVERPASS).

THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS INDICATED WITH THE STOPPING ABILITY OF THE CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE DEALER ONLY 2 MILES AWAY AND WHEN IT WAS INSPECTED I WAS TOLD BOTH PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES WERE DOWN TO METAL WITH NO PADS LEFT. THE DEALER SAID SOMETHING HAD FAILED CAUSING THE CONDITION WHICH WAS REQUIRING MORE PARTS TO BE REPLACED. IF WE WERE FARTHER FROM THE DEALER ( BARBER HONDA BAKERSFIELD) THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE IS MY UNDERSTANDING.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HIGHER MPH (50+) ROADS, GENERALLY BUT NOT ALWAYS WITH THE CRUSE CONTROL ON, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY APPLY THEMSELVES VERY HARD CAUSING THE CAR TO BECOME A SITTING TARGET FOR CARS COMING FROM BEHIND. THIS HAS HAPPENED A MULTITUDE OF TIMES AND WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WITH A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT THEY KEPT THE CAR BUT RETURNED IT SAYING THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING TO REPAIR.

ISSUE WITH STEERING STICKING OR FEELING "NOTCHY" WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MINOR STEERING INPUT TO KEEP VEHICLE GOING STRAIGHT REQUIRES A LOT OF ISSUE, THEN THE STEERING LETS LOOSE JERKING THE CAR ON THE ROAD. STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED IN DECEMBER 2018, BUT THE ISSUE HAS RESURFACED WITH THE REPLACEMENT STEERING RACK.

THE VEHICLE HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF FUNCTION IN: 1. ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION 2. COLLISION MITIGATION 3. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL 4. BRAKING SYSTEM THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT SPEED OF 10-40MPH, WITH AIR TEMPERATURE OF 28-32 DEGREES AND SNOWY CONDITIONS. HONDA HAS REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE NUMEROUS, POTENTIALLY SW/HW - RELATED ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN MANIFESTING THEMSELVES IN OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS A NEW SET OF SYMPTOMS, BUT WITH MUCH HIGHER SEVERITY AND NO OBVIOUS PRECEDENT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO DISABLE THE LANE DEPARTURE AND THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THEIR ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. HOWEVER, IN THIS CASE THE MESSAGES THAT HAVE COME UP (WILL ATTACHE PHOTOS) DEMANDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE ERRORS AND MESSAGE DID NOT GO AWAY UPON MULTIPLE RESTARTS OF THE VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVAL TO THE DEALER, IT WAS INDICATED TO ME THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH THE VEHICLE AND STILL (MONTHS HENCE) DOES NOT HAVE A FIX, AND THAT HONDA HAS, ESSENTIALLY, BEEN RESORTING TO TESTING THEIR VEHICLE ON THE CUSTOMERS, INSTEAD OF MORE RIGOROUS PRE-RELEASE TESTING, INSTEAD CHOOSING TO USE THE DEALERS AS A QUASI-TEST/R&D DEPARTMENT. THE MULTIPLE SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE I EXPERIENCED TODAY IS A PRETTY CLEAR INDICATION OF THAT. I HAVE FILED ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH NTHSA RELATED TO THE OTHER ISSUES AND WOULD URGE YOU TO INITIATE A RECALL ON ALL OF THE HONDA ACCORDS (AND POSSIBLY ODYSSEYS AND P

MY 2018 HONDA IS NOT DRIVEN OFTEN. IT SITS IN MY YARD MOST OF THE TIME. I HAD IT DETAILED A WEEK AGO ONLY TO FIND THE PAINT WAS PEELING ON TRUNK, HOOD AND ROOF. HORRIFIED AT THIS NEWS I WENT TO SOCIAL MEDIA TO SEE IF THIS HAD BEEN A PROBLEM WITH OTHER HONDA OWNERS. ON GOOGLE I FOUND AN ARTICLE THAT EXPLAINED THAT THE PAINT INDEED WAS PEELING. I FOLLOWED THE STEPS IN THE ARTICLE. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY OF COURSE EXCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY NOR WOULD THEY READ THE ARTICLE. MADE THEM GIVE ME WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY WERE EXCEPTING NO RESPONSIBILITY. TRIED FOR DAYS TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SUCCESS. NOW CONTACTING YOU.

VEHICLE WAS UNLOCKED WHEN ALL KEYS WERE IN HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT HOME AND WHILE TRAVELING .CAR WAS STATIONARY. NAVIGATION SYSTEM DIRECTIONS WERE GARBLED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO COMPREHEND WHAT WAS SAID. CAR WAS IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN WAS INOPERABLE AND THE CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARMAX (2750 STONERIDGE DR, PLEASANTON, CA 94588, (925) 600-0741) WHERE THE FUSE WAS REPLACED TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AWAITING REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

REAR BRAKE PADS ARE WEARING QUICKER THAN THE FRONT, I BARLEY HAVE ANY LIFE IN THE REAR PADS. (WEARING OUT TWICE AS FAST AS THEY NORMALLY SHOULD) JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 2008-2010 ACCORDS. HONDA LOOKED AT THE ISSUE AND COMPLETELY IGNORED IT, THEY TOLD ME ITS DANGEROUS IF I DONT CHANGE THEM AND THEY DIDNT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THEM WEARING OUT QUICK.

WHILE DRIVING ON I-95S PASSING THROUGH GEORGIA STATE AND IN SPORT MODE VEHICLE LOST SPEED UNEXPECTEDLY ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED HAVING TO STOP QUICKLY TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN TRIED TO REINTEGRATE TO HIGHWAY, VEHICLE SPEED REACHED TO NO MORE THAN 40 MILES. VEHICLE ENDED IT UP BEING TOWED TO JACKSONVILLE FL.

INFOTAINMENT SCREEN REBOOTS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO DASH LIGHTS GO DIM/OUT ALSO.

THE BRAKE SYSTEM ALERT IS FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION AND THERE IS NO BREAK ISSUE. IT APPEARS TO BE A FLAWED COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKE SYSTEM SENSOR AS THIS KEEPS FLASHING ACROSS THE DASH IN BIG BOLD LETTERS AND WONT GO OFF. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW 5 MONTHS AGO. WHEN TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE MESSAGE IS STILL THERE AND WONT GO AWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD THREE BEEPING NOISES AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE ON ITS OWN. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO HER DESTINATION SAFELY. ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2019, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WITTMEIER HONDA (LOCATED AT 2288 FOREST AVE, CHICO, CA 95928, (530) 895-8181), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,163.

WHILE PARKED SAFELY IN MY GARAGE MY WINDSHIELD SUFFERED A STRESS FRACTURE. IT STARTS AT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRAME AND STRETCHES 13 INCHES OUT ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WHEN I CALLED. I LATER FOUND OUT AFTER WAITING TWO HOURS THERE THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH ACCORD WINDSHIELDS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HERE AND ON OTHER SITES OF STRESS FRACTURES WITHOUT ANY KIND OF ROCK DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD. THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED AND COVERED.

THE PROBLEM WE HAD WITH THIS 2018 HONDA ACCORD, WAS IT WOULDN'T START. WITHOUT WARNING OF LOW BATTERY OR FAULTY CHARGING OR ANY OTHER INDICATION DISPLAYED IN THE WARNING OR ADVISORY SYSTEMS OF THE CAR PREVIOUSLY - IT JUST WOULDN'T START. FIRST ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED THESE SYSTEM FAILURES ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION INTERFACE : VEHICLE STABILITY SYS. PROB., BRAKE SYS. PROB., ANTI- LOCK BRAKE PROB., BRAKE HOLD SYS. PROB. IN ADDITION, THE PARKING LIGHTS CAME ON AUTOMATICALLY AND COULD NOT BE SELECTED "OFF" . BEING A SUNDAY MORNING , WE WAITED UNTIL MONDAY MORNING TO CALL THE TOWING SERVICE TO BRING CAR TO NEAREST DEALER. TOW DRIVER CONNECTED A PORTABLE CHARGER TO THE BATTERY- AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR, BUT AFTER DISCONNECTING THE CHARGER, THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT START. THE DEALERS REPORT TO US, WAS THAT OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE RADIO WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING IS THE CAUSE AND EFFECT OF THE DEAD BATTERY- SO, OPERATOR/OWNER ERROR. (( IT'S OUR FAULT THE ,... ( THAT THE BATTERY IS WEAK, LOW BUDGET AND SAVES THE COMPANY ( HONDA MOTORS) MONEY BY USING CHEAPER PRODUCTS.)). NOW, IF THIS WERE YOU, OR YOUR WIFE, OR YOUR DAUGHTER, OR GRAND MOTHER; OR ALL OF THEM IN THE CAR TOGETHER GOING TO AN EVENT LIKE A WEDDING - AND THEY WERE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, WITHOUT WARNING .... STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, AT NIGHT, IN STORMY WEATHER, OR WORSE... EVACUATING THE AREA FROM A TSUNAMI. WOULD YOU BE CONCERNED ? OR , WOULD YOU BE FLIPPANT ABOUT IT ,.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON BRAKES SUDDENLY APPLIED THEMSELF NEARLY CAUSING A VEHICLE TO STRIKE ME IN THE REAR .SEVERAL ALARMS WERE DISPLAYED ON DASH FIRST WAS ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SECOND COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM THIRD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM ALL ALARMS SAID TO SEE YOUR DEALER . I TOOK PICTURES WITH MY CELL PHONE OF ALL ALARMS DISPLAYED BUT I'M HAVING DIFFICULTY UPLOADING TO REPORT . I CAN SEND A ATTACHMENT SPECIFIC TO THE CLAIM IF NEEDED OR IF A EMAIL COULD BE GIVEN I WOULD FORWARD SUCH.

MY CAR (3 TIMES NOW) WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WILL SUDDENLY BRAKE HARD WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF IT ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION WITH MY CAR. AN ORANGE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING (BRAKE) IN LARGE LETTERS. I AM GETTING SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW.

AFTER BEING PARKED IN A FRIENDS DRIVEWAY FOR SEVERAL HOURS I PROCEEDED TO OPEN MY CAR AND DRIVE HOME. FIRST REMOTE CONTROL WOULD NOT OPEN DOORS, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR ONLY, UPON TURNING IGNITION ON A SERIES OF WARNING INDICATING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY DISABLES ITSELF, ALL COLLISION MITIGATION FUNCTIONS STOP WORKING, SERIES OF WARNING SEE PICS APPEAR ON DISPLAY TO SEE DEALER, ALL WINDOWS AND TRUCK WILL NOT FUNCTION, TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS, REAR VIEW CAMERA DO NOT FUNCTION, BRAKE SYSTEM MSG APPEARS ON DISPLAY. TURNED OFF AND ON CAR WITH NO SUCCESS IN RESTORING ALL FUNCTIONS AS ON TWO PREVIOUS OCCASIONS. DROVE CAR FOR 4 MILES IN THIS STATE FELT IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR US AND OTHER DRIVERS. THIS MORNING ALL HAS RESTORED TO NORMAL. CALLED HONDA DEALER IN EL MONTE CA. WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, WAS NOT ABLE TO BOOK SERVICE CALL UNTIL MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK IN RESEARCHING ONLINE FOUND HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 19-051 DESCRIBING A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO CAR MODULES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT IS REALLY SHOULD MERIT A RECALL AS IT INTERFERES WITH THE SAFE DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE. A RECALL WILL FORCE HONDA TO INFORM ITS SERVICE DEALERS AND INSTRUCT THEM ON A PROMPT SCHEDULING OF REQUIRED SOFTWARE UPGRADE TO RESOLVE THIS SOFTWARE DEFECT AFFECTING DRIVABILITY OF THEIR FLAGSHIP CAR.

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS THE BRAKES KEEP SETTING THEMSELVES. WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED DURING ONE INSTANCE. THE HONDA DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AND OIL CHANGE AT 20,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR PADS WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT PADS ARE FINE. THIS ISSUE WAS RECALLED IN 2010 AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AGAIN.

VEHICLE HAD ISSUES CRANKING AND THE DISPLAY HAD EVERY ERROR CODE FLASHING ONE AFTER THE OTHER. AFTER GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. IT WAS REPLACED IN JULY. THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN IN OCTOBER IF THE SAME YEAR AND WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE CAR WANDERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. MINOR CORRECTIONS ARE NEEDED TO ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE CAR GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. A MINOR MOVE TO THE LEFT, THEN FOLLOWED BY A MINOR MOVE TO THE RIGHT AND SO ON. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT HIGH SPEEDS (OVER 60MPH THE DRIVE CAN BE QUITE SCARY). I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A HONDA FIELD REP COME TAKE A LOOK, BUT 1 WEEK LATER I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN OR ACTIVE RECALL DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STEERING RACK 53600-TVA-A18 WHICH MY ACCORD HAS AND IS NO LONGER AN ACTIVE HONDA PART, NOW REPLACED WITH A NEW PART NUMBER. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS CAN BE FOUND ON THE DRIVEACCORD FORUM (HTTPS://WWW.DRIVEACCORD.NET/THREADS/10TH-GEN-HIGHWAY-FREEWAY-SWAY-STEER-PROBLEM-CAR-SWAYS-JUST-A-LITTLE-BIT.540665/) WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVING THEIR STEERING RACKS REPLACED.

AS I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE CENTER SCREEN WILL TURN OFF AND RESET ITSELF. THIS CAUSES MY HANDS-FREE TO STOP WORKING IF I AM ON THE PHONE. ADDITIONALLY, I AM FORCED TO TOUCH THE SCREEN WHILE I AM DRIVING IN ORDER TO CONNECT CAR PLAY/ BLUETOOTH WHICH IS HAZARDOUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MORE THAN 10 OCCASIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND THE BRAKES SEIZED. THE CONTACT DISABLED THE BRAKING FEATURE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DCH ACADEMY HONDA (1101 U.S. 9, OLD BRIDGE, NJ 08857, (732) 847-4391) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE CALIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, SEVERAL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING A WARNING INDICATOR WHO SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO THE NEAREST DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMPS AND TURN SIGNALS WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANFORD HONDA (3130 S. HORNER BOULEVARD, SANFORD, NC 27332) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,400.

BRAKE PULSATES ARE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT SPEED 40 MOH OR HIGHER. SINCE I NOTICED AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AFTER 12.5K MILES THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATE THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN EVERY 12K MILES.

COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR IS VISIBLE ON THE DASH AFTER VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND JERKS, AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL BECOMES DISABLED UNTIL THE CAR RESTARTS. THIS HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ABOVE 50MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE "SERVICE NEEDED" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COVINGTON HONDA (1915 HOT SPRINGS RD, COVINGTON, VA 24426, (800) 234-7853) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS DESTROYED BY RODENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A NEW WIRING HARNESS AND RODENT PROOF TAPE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK; INITIAL ISSUE WAS WARNING SYSTEMS WENT ON WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF CAR. SECOND TIME BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO VEHICLE WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF CAR, LEADING TO CAR INDUCED PANIC STOP ON ROAD, THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS TRAILING MY CAR AT THAT TIME. HONDA TEST DROVE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING; SINCE THIS IS SPORADIC, THIS WAS NOT SURPRISING. TOLD THEM IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND THAT THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED COMPLAINT ON WEBSITES; THEY TOLD US WE CAN TURN OFF FRONT MITIGATION COLLISION SYSTEM EACH TIME WE DRIVE. REQUESTED DEALERSHIP GENERAL MANAGER TO REPORT THIS CONDITION TO REGIONAL DIRECTOR AT HONDA
