2018 Honda Accord complaints

ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) FAILED WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 40 MPH. APPROACHING THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME WHICH WAS RAPIDLY SLOWING/STOPPING, THE ACC FAILED TO SLOW MY VEHICLE WHICH FORCED ME TO MANUALLY APPLY HARD BRAKING AT THE LAST MOMENT TO AVOID A COLLISION. WHEN I LOOKED DOWN THERE WAS AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHICH READ "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER". THE WEATHER AT THE TIME WAS CLEAR AND 62 DEG. F, AND THE VEHICLE WAS CLEAN WITH NO DIRT NOR OBSTRUCTIONS ON THE FRONT RADAR UNIT NOR THE WINDSHIELD (CAMERA AREA). THE ACC COULD NOT BE RESTARTED UNTIL I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND SHUT IT DOWN/RESTARTED IT, WHICH THEN CLEARED THE ERROR MESSAGE AND ENABLED ME TO REINITIATE THE ACC SYSTEM. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY DEFECT!

THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING WHEN I APPROACH A CAR ON THE INTERSTATE. USUALLY THIS WILL HAPPEN 1-3 TIMES PER 100 MILE TRIP. I NEED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IF I PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN TURN IT ON AGAIN THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL FUNCTION AGAIN. PULLING OFF ON THE SIDE OF AN INTERSTATE OR EXIT RAMP IS HAZARDOUS. APPARENTLY SOME PEOPLE ARE PUTTING THEIR CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE STILL DRIVING ON INTERSTATES, TURNING THE CAR OFF, THEN ON AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2018 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T TOURING. I HAVE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHERE THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM HAS GONE OUT GIVING AN AMBER DASH WARNING TO SEE THE DEALER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES ALL WHEN THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED. IT ALSO DISABLED THE CRUSE CONTROL. ALL 6 TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE ROAD WAS FLAT AND STRAIGHT AND IT WAS A CLEAR SUNNY DAY WITH NO OTHER CAR IN THE VICINITY .THE RADAR UNIT AND CAMERA WERE FREE OF BUGS. MOST TIMES, UPON SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING EVERYTHING RETURNS TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, ONE TIME UPON RESTARTING THE CAR THE PHONE ,RADIO NAVIGATION, ADAPTIVE CRUSE CONTROL, CRUSE CONTROL AND COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM WOULD NOT COME BACK AND I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THIS CAR WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF EL CAJON, CA ON 4/21/18 AND CHAPMAN HONDA, AZ ON 7/31/18 AND 7/3/19. NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND ALL 3 TIMES

ON 2018 HONDA ACCORDS THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WHICH IS STANDARDS ON ALL TRIM LEVELS, DOES NOT BRAKE THE VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN THE SET SPEED WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. THIS IS ODD SINCE THE VEHICLE WILL APPLY BRAKES TO MAINTAIN SPEED IF THERE'S A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CAR, BUT ON DOWNHILLS ALL IT WILL DO IS MAKE SEVERAL DOWNSHIFTS TO TRY AND MAINTAIN THE SPEED. EVERY OTHER CAR I'VE DRIVEN THAT HAS ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WILL APPLY BRAKES TO KEEP THE VEHICLE SPEED FROM INCREASING IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. OF COURSE IF YOU TAP THE BRAKES YOURSELF CRUISE CONTROL IS DISABLED. A SIMPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

ON ENTERING A TOUCHLESS CARWASH, WINDSHIELD LOUDLY CRACKED. THERE WAS A MINOR STONE CHIP NEAR THE START OF THE TWO CRACKS THAT APPEARED, BUT IT DID NOT PENETRATE THE FIRST PANEL OF GLASS. TWO CRACKS WERE APPROXIMATELY 18 INCHES LONG

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE FRONT COLLISION SYSTEM STOPPED THE CAR RANDOMLY CAUSING A POTENTIAL HAZARD. IT IS DOING IT INTERMITTENTLY WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE

I HAVE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHERE THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM HAS GONE OUT GIVING AN AMBER DASH WARNING TO SEE THE DEALER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL ALSO NOT FUNCTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER MORE THAN TWICE WHILE MAKING A TURN AND DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND SHUT OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. WAIKEM HONDA (3910 LINCOLN WAY E, MASSILLON, OH 44646, (330) 477-5002) WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR LOCATE A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT FOUND NO FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000 AND A SECOND TIME AROUND 7,300 MILES.*BF CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" AND I CANNOT ACCELERATE. IF I WERE IN THE LEFT LANE PASSING A SEMI, I COULD VISUALIZE THIS A FATAL ACCIDENT. I AM ANTICIPATING ANOTHER "LIMP MODE" SOON AS I HAVE JUST OVER 11,000 MILES AND IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ABOUT EVERY 3 TO 4,000 MILES. *JB

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD SPORT, RELATED TO THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, HEAD UNIT, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM, NOISE (TIRE AND POOR SOUND INSULATION) AS WELL OTHER ISSUES WHICH ARE DESCRIBED IN THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT.

I HAVE A 2018 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T TOURING WITH THE 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXTREMELY ROUGH FROM 2-3 GEAR, 3-4TH AND DOWNSHIFTING INTO PRETTY MUCH ANY GEAR. IT'S BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST HOW THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ON THIS CAR, WHICH I IMMEDIATELY DISPUTED BECAUSE I'VE DRIVEN OTHER EXACT MODELS THAT DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS ROUGH SHIFTING BEHAVIOR. I ALSO AM DISSATISFIED WITH THE LENGTH OF TIME IT TAKES THE VEHICLE TO ENGAGE REVERSE FROM PARK. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 3 SECONDS FOR REVERSE TO ENGAGE AT WHICH TIME IT JUST SLAMS INTO GEAR. I'VE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE VARIOUS CONCERNS I HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE A PAINT DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY ON THE REAR TRUNK LID. HONDA INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS HARD WITH MY SCHEDULE. IF THIS CONTINUES AFTER THE NEXT SERVICE APPOINTMENT, I'M GOING TO DEMAND THE CAR BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE.

COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM GOES OUT FOR NO REASON AND SHUTS OFF AUTOMATIC CRUISE CONTROL. HAVE TO RESTART CAR TO RESET. HAS OCCURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS. I HAVE 10,000 MILES ON THE CAR, BUT DON'T USE ACC MUCH SINCE MOST OF MY DRIVING IS IN THE CITY. HAPPENED ON LONG DISTANCE TRIPS ON FREEWAY. GOING 70 MPH.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY 2018 ACCORD HAS UNEXPECTEDLY BRAKED WHEN THERE WAS NO OBJECT/CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN THERE IS CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME, THE SENSORS DO NOT KICK IN FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTED BRAKING. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT WITH THIS CAR.

AFTER CAR HAS WARMED UP, UPON A RESTART, GASOLINE ODOR COMES THROUGH AIR VENTS AS CAR IDLES. THIS IS ON THE 2.0L TURBO ENGINE IN THE SPORT MODEL.

I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 4 MONTHS, AND THE CAR HAS COME TO A STOP THREE TIMES ON A BUSY STATE ROUTE AT RUSH HOUR, AND ONCE ON A STREET WHEN THE ROAD EXPANDED FROM ONE LANE TO TWO. I AM NOW TURNING THE CMBS OFF EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR. HOWEVER, THE BRAKING SYSTEM STILL ENGAGED! I MUST CROSS OVER A SOLID WHITE LINE TO ACCESS THE FREEWAY, AND I'M SCARED THAT THE CAR WILL STOP THERE EVERY DAY. ONE DAY WAS BRIGHT AND SUNNY OUT, ONE DAY WAS DARK BEFORE SUNRISE, ONE DAY WAS CLOUDY AND OVERCAST. IN ALL CASES, THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT AND DRY.

THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IN ORDER TO RESET THE WARNING LIGHT. THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX THE LIGHT HAS COME ON IN ALL TYPES OF DRIVING CONDITIONS, CLEAR AND DRY, RAIN, ETC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS BECAUSE OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE SITUATION IMPACTED THE CONTACT'S DRIVING ABILITY. HONDA CITY (3859 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, LEVITTOWN, NY 11756, (516) 717-4762) WAS CONTACTED AND UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 0. *JS *JS *JS *JS *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WHEN THE CONTACT LIFTED HIS FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE BOTTOM OF HIS FOOT CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA CITY LONG ISLAND (LOCATED AT 3859 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, LEVITTOWN, NY 11756, (516) 717-4762) WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED, BUT NOT TEST DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

HAD THE CAR ABOUT 6 MONTHS, AND HAVE HALF A DOZEN SMALL ROCK CHIPS IN THE GLASS. HAD SAFELITE COME OUT TO REPAIR AND THEY SAID THEY ARE GETTING A TON OF THESE NEW ACCORDS IN FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT BUT MY CHIPS WERE TOO SMALL TO REPAIR. GUESS I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO CRACK AND SPREAD AND GET A WHOLE NEW $1,000 WINDSHIELD. THIS GLASS SEEMS WAY TOO PRONE TO CHIPS AND CRACKING. OTHER OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR WINDSHIELD CRACKING WITH NO SIGNS OF VISIBLE DAMAGE.

THE CAR ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT HAPPENED ON MARCH 28 1:30PM WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY 24. THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING ON HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES WHEN I FIRST SMELLED SOMETHING IS BURNING. I THEN SAW SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE FRONT SECTION OF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CHANGED LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO STOPPED THE CAR BY PRESSING THE FOOT BRAKE. THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW DOWN BUT IT WAS CONTINUED ROWING FORWARD. IT IS ON A SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL SLOP. AS SEEING SMOKE GETTING DARKER AND MORE STRONG, I PRESSED THE PARKING BRAKE AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT STOPPED. I THEN OPENED THE CAR DOOR AND ROWED OUT FROM THE CAR ONTO THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO CAR AND I WAS OK. I THEN CALLED 911 TO HAVE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. I HAVE 2 CONCERNS. MY CAR WAS JUST 16 MONTHS OLD WHEN IT HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON BEFORE IT HAPPENED AND WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE SERVICE SCHEDULE. HOW CAN SOMETHING LIKE THIS CAN HAPPEN TO A RELATIVELY NEW CAR AND PERFECT SERVICE RECORD. THE OTHER CONCERN IS WHEN THE CAR WAS ON FIRE, BOTH THE FOOT BREAK AND PARKING BREAK COULD NOT STOPPED THE CAR FROM MOVING. HAS THIS HAPPENED IN A UPHILL OR DOWN HILL SLOP, I WOULD BE AT GREAT RISK.

DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, 65 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. SUDDENLY, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND VEHICLE ABRUPTLY AND QUICKLY DECELERATED FROM 65 TO 20 MPH, FORCING ME TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, I RE-STARTED THE CAR A FEW MINUTES LATER AND DROVE TO THE NEXT EXIT A COUPLE MILES AHEAD AT A REDUCE SPEED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE. THE HONDA DEALER IN ORCHARD PARK, NY ,WHERE THE CAR WAS TOWED, TOLD ME THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS EXTREMELY HIGH, AND CHANGED MY OIL TO BRING IT TO A NORMAL OIL LEVEL. THE DEALER FURTHER TOLD ME THAT THE BECAUSE I DRIVE SHORT TRIPS AND THE WEATHER HAS BEEN COLD THAT IS WHY GASOLINE IS GOING INTO THE OIL AND GIVING ME ENGINE TROUBLE ON MY NEW CAR. MY HONDA DEALER IN ROCHESTER, NY CONFIRMED THE SAME AND SAID TO DRIVE MY CAR A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME TO HELP AVOID THIS ISSUE. MY DRIVING HABITS AS A STUDENT LIVING ON A SMALL CAMPUS, IN A COLD AREA, ARE THAT OF A FEW SHORT DRIVES A DAY TO CLASSES. I USE MY CAR PRIMARILY FOR DRIVING MYSELF HOME AND TO SCHOOL WHICH IS A 2 HOUR DRIVE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY HONDA ACCORD, AND BOTH HONDA DEALERSHIPS SAID THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HONDA CR-V & CIVIC BUT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY ISSUES WITH A HONDA ACCORD. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT MY NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD WITH 2

CAR HAS A SAFETY SENSOR SYSTEM CALLED CMBS (COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM) THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HELP YOU AVOID COLLISIONS. ON 2 OCCASIONS THIS BRAKING SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED FOR NO APPARENT REASON CAUSING THE CAR TO BRAKE ABRUPTLY IN TRAFFIC CREATING EXTREME ACCIDENT POTENTIAL.

TPMS WARNING LIGHT COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TIRE PRESSURE IS CHECKED, PRESSURES ARE OKAY. WARNING IS A FALSE ALARM. AFTER SYSTEM IS RESET/RECALIBRATED THE TPMS IS OKAY FOR 50 TO 100 MILES BEFORE ANOTHER FALSE ALARM WARNING COMES ON. RESETTING SYSTEM LASTS ANOTHER 50 TO 100 MILES

UPON DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AT NIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE WAS RAPIDLY DEPRESSED TO AVOID ANOTHER RAPIDLY ONCOMING CAR FROM THE REAR OF MY CAR. MY CAR STUMBLED AND A BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR THEN WENT INTO AN OPERATING MODE IN WHICH ABOUT 80% OF THE CAR'S POWER WAS LOST AND COULD ONLY BE DRIVEN VERY SLOWLY. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN 5 MILES TO MY HOUSE. AT HOME THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR THEN PERFORMED NORMALLY. A SIMILAR INCIDENT PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THIS INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NO FAULT CODES REPORTED FROM THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. AS A RESULT, THE DEALER DID NOTHING. THIS IS SURPRISING SINCE THIS WAS A MAJOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY ANOMALY FOR THIS CAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, NO ACTION OR COMMENT FROM THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

MY WIFE WAS BACKING UP USING THE CARS BACK UP CAMERA THE VIEW SHOWED THE DIRECTION LINES BUT NO OBSTRUCTIONS. WITH NO WARNING SHE HIT A PARKED CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH. THE CAR AT NO TIME WAS VISIBLE IN THE CAMERA MONITOR.

I PURCHASED MY CARS ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND NOTICED SOME ISSUES AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. FIRST THERE'S NO MILEAGE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER, ONLY KILOMETER. AS SOON AS YOU SWITCH TO MILES IT DISAPPEARS. SECOND, THE CAR PLAY SYSTEM OFTEN TIMES RESETS ITSELF WHILE IN DRIVING MODE , ALSO HAPPENS A LOT WHEN GEAR IS SHIFTED. THIRD, LANE SENSOR SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY DEFECTED AS WELL AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED FOR A SECOND, THE WORST IS THE CAR POOL LANE, IN CALIFORNIA IS A YELLOW LANE AND THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY PULLS TOWARDS IT. IT OBVIOUSLY CANNOT DETECT YELLOW LINES. TODAY SOMETHING NEW HAPPENED AND COMPLETELY CHANGED THE GAME FOR ME : THE CAR EMERGENCY BREAKS WERE ACTIVATED BY NOTHING AND OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON 90 MPH !!!!!!! ALL MY STUFF WERE THROWN FROM THE BACK SEAT TO THE FRONT AND I GOT SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THE SEAT-BELT THAT WAS PUSHED AGAINST ME! LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR...THERE WERE ZERO CARS BEFORE ME OR AROUND ME ! THANK GOD FOR NO CARS BEHIND ME OR THIS CITATION COULD HAVE ENDED DIFFERENTLY. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT THE KEYS OVER THERE TILL THEY FIGURE IT OUR OR GIVE ME A DIFFERENT CAR. I'M SCARED TO GO BACK DRIVING IT.

I ENGAGED ACC, THAT CONTROLS CRUISE CONTROL AND FRONTAL COLLISION ,MITIGATION SYSTEM, IN NORMAL TRAFFIC. WHILE TRAVELLING AT A SPEED OF 60 MILES PER HOUR, FOLLOWING ANOTHER CAR THE SPACING WAS CONTROLLED BY ACC. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CONTINUED FORWARD, MY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED AND CAUSED ME TO GO FROM 60 MPH TO ABOUT 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE TO MY REAR HAD TO TAKE AN EVASIVE MANEUVER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I SAW NO ROAD DEBRIS. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE RADAR UNIT AND THE CAMERA SYSTEM. NO ISSUES OBSERVED. DURING THIS TRIP THE ACC WENT OFFLINE 3 TIMES DOWN TO SC AND TWICE IT FAILED DRIVING BACK HOME. EACH TIME I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSED ISSUES AS THE SYSTEM WAS TRYING TO MANAGE MY SPEED IN TRAFFIC.

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY CAR'S AUTOMATIC COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WITHOUT NOTICE AND ANY REASON. THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF MY CAR AND THE CAR BRAKED SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS THROWN FORWARD AND BACK WITH A JERK. SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING LOWER NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN. I DISENGAGED THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM AND WILL TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS.

2018 ACCORD TOURING 2.0 ABOUT 1800 MILES ON IT. THE CAR SHIFTS VERY ROUGH IN THE FIRST 3-4 GEARS WHEN THE CAR IS COLD. ALSO HAPPENS AT TIMES WHEN ITS WARMER. ONE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT WITH A HONDA APPROVED BREAK-IN PROCEDURE. IT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED EACH DAY I DRIVE THE CAR SINCE I FIRST GOT IT ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM ERROR POPPED UP, WHICH SUGGESTED TAKING THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR 2 DAYS AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START WITH THIS ERROR.

COLLUSION CONTROL DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY WHILE IN MOTION AND DOES NOT RECOGNIZE CHILDREN WHEN STATIONARY

FUEL IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE OVERFILLED

I BOUGHT A NEW ACCORD IN SEPTEMBER 2018, THERE WAS NOISE IN THE CAR, THE ENGINE ALSO HAD ABNORMAL SOUNDS, TERRIBLE DEALERS, TERRIBLE SERVICE, TERRIBLE AMERICAN HONDA! THEY CAN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, JUST SHIRK EACH OTHER'S RESPONSIBILITY! RECENTLY I FOUND THAT THE LANE KEEP SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.I HAVE ALREADY GONE TO THE HONDA SERVICE STATION 10 TIMES FOR THESE QUESTIONS! BUT THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT THESE ARE NOT PROBLEMS. IT'S JUST UNACCEPTABLE.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN THE AAC SYSTEM ALMOST RESULTING IN A FRONT COLLISION. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE THE OTHER AFTERNOON WITH AAC AND LKAS ENGAGED ON MY 2018 ACCORDT TOURING WITH 18000 MILES IT WAS 89F I WAS IN TRAFFIC BUT CRUISING AT A STEADY 65 MPH WHEN THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME STARTED TO SLOW. IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT THAT THE DASHBOARD THREW THE ERROR MESSAGE "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ERROR. PLEASE SEE YOUR DEALER." LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO APPLY BRAKES ALMOST HAS A CRASH WENT HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING ERROR WAS GONE DID AGAIN WHEN I DRIVING FEW WEEKS LATER AND RECENTLY ON FEBRUARY 15TH 2019 I ALMOST HAD ANOTHER CRASH BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE WENT TO THE DEALER THEY HOLD THE CAR FOR 1 AND HALF WEEK CAN'T FIND ANY ISSUE AND GOT CAR BACK ON MARCH 8TH AFTER DRIVING 5-6 MILES GOT SAME PROBLEM TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURNED ON AGAIN AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 7-8 MILES SAME PROBLEM CALLED THE DEALER THEY WANT ME TO BRING THE CAR BACK WHEN THE MESSAGE STILL APPEARING ON THE SCREEN OTHER WAY THEY TELLING TO TAKE RISK OF CRASHING CAR BEFORE THEY CAN HELP ME CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE GOT SAME RESPONSE

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCURRENCES OF A WARNING THAT STATES "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. PLEASE SEE YOUR DEALER." THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL POP UP RANDOMLY WITH NO PATTERN WHILE USING THE ADVANCED CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION ON MY VEHICLE. WHILE THIS ERROR IS PRESENT I AM NOT ABLE TO USE ANY KIND OF CRUISE CONTROL SETTINGS. I WAS HAVE SEEN MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN MANY HORRIBLE SOLUTIONS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO JUST PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND RESTART IT TO CLEAR THE ERRORS OUT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAMERA IS JUST DIRTY AND THAT I NEED TO CARRY A BOTTLE OF WATER AND A RAG TO WIPE OFF THE WINDSHIELD ANYTIME IT HAPPENS. I HAVE TRIED BOTH OF THESE SOLUTIONS SEVERAL TIMES AND NEITHER HAS WORKED. IN FACT EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO TURN OFF AND RESTART MY VEHICLE I HAVE EIGHT OTHER SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE MESSAGES THAT POPULATE.

WHILE DRIVING I RECEIVED ERROR CODE ADVISING THAT THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND I SHOULD SEE A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE THE ERROR MESSAGE WENT AWAY AND SYSTEM WAS SHOWING TO BE FUNCTIONING. 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD I GOT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE. AGAIN, STOPPED AND STARTED THE VEHICLE AND MESSAGE GOES AWAY.

HONDA ACCORD 2018 LX. TWO INSTANCES OF CAR NOT STARTING WHEN STATIONARY. MOST RECENT INSTANCE OF ENGINE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET.

I GOT MY FIRST CRACK ON MY WINDSHIELD 2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING IT. NEVER HEARD THE ROCK HIT IT . IT WAS A VERY TEENY TINY NICK AND TURNED INTO A LONG CRACK ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. THE SECOND CRACK WAS TODAY. A ROCK CAME FROM A SEMI TRUCK TRAVELING IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME AS I WAS PASSING ON THE LEFT SIDE LANE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ROCK HIT. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. I HAVE A LINE SPLITTING ACROSS MY PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW ANOTHER ALONG THE DRIVER SIDE. IT SEEMS THE GLASS IS MADE VERY POORLY. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKS EASILY. I HAVE OWNED A TON OF VEHICLES. ROCKS HIT THE WINDSHIELD FROM TIME TO TIME AND NEVER CAUSED A CRACK ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. A NICK MAYBE YES, BUT NOT AN INSTANT CRACK THAT WILL NOT STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ROAD TERRAIN CHANGED AND THE BRAKE ASSIST ENGAGED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP ABRUPTLY. IN ADDITION, THE LANE ASSIST FEATURE WAS PULLING THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE ASSIST AND LANE ASSIST WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 949.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE TRAFFIC CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP AND MY EMERGENCY COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING KICKED IN. I PROCEEDED TO PRESS THE BRAKES MYSELF AND THE COMPUTER AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED THE BRAKES AND WOULD NOT RELEASE FOR NEARLY SEVEN SECONDS. I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY AND ALMOST REAR-ENDED DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT RELEASING. I PRESSED THE GAS SEVERAL TIMES AND PRESS THE BRAKES TO TRY TO RELEASE IT BUT NOTHING WORKED UNTIL THE BRAKES EVENTUALLY RELEASED THEMSELVES ABOUT 7 SECONDS LATER.

TODAY WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT MY CAR APPLIED BRAKE BY ITSELF WHEN I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND THERE WAS NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. TO MENTION THAT MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD HAS THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM BUT I GOT USE TO HOW IT WORKS ITS NICE , BUT SOMETIMES IT APPLIES BRAKE FOR NO REASON AND ITS SCARY BECAUSE THIS SYSTEM DISCONNECT THE GAS PADEL WHEN APPLIED AND ITS SCARY AND UNSAFE WHEN IT IS ACTING WEIRD AND APPLYING BRAKE WHEN ITS NOT NECESSARY ( VIN:(XXXX) ). THANK YOU PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

CMBS PROBLEM... WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY WHEN THE "COLLISION MITIGATION BREAKING SYSTEM" LIGHT CAME ON AND THAT DISABLED THE ACC I WAS USING. NOTHING PARTICULAR HAPPENED, MAYBE I WAS BRAKING AT THE TIME. I ARRIVED AT DESTINATION. TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK AGAIN RIGHT AWAY TO SEE THE WARNING LIGHT DISAPPEAR AND EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL. I THOUGHT I WAS OK BUT IT HAPPENED FEW HOURS LATER ON THE WAY BACK IN THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES.

IN COLDER WEATHER, THE VEHICLE MAKES A DRONE LIKE HUMMING NOISE, SIMILAR TO RUNNING A WET FINGER AROUND A WINE GLASS EXCEPT LOUDER. IF I OPEN THE WINDOW IT STOPS, IT ALSO STOPS BELOW 5 MPH. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING, I ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM. THE DEALER IS TELLING ME IT'S THE SPEAKERS, BUT WHY WOULD IT STOP WHEN THE WINDOW IS OPEN. I BELIEVE IT'S THE ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION ANC - ONCE THE VEHICLE WARMS UP 15 - 20 MINUTES THE NOISE STOPS. I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY HAZARD THAT HONDA IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE "ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON IT, BUT NO FIX AT THIS TIME". THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND IT ISN'T STOPPING. SEEMS LIKE HONDA IS HOPING FOR WARMER WEATHER BUT THAT IS NOT RIGHT. PLEASE HELP.

BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUG. 2018. THE STEERING ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND HARD TO DUPLICATE. CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS A "NOTCH" OR "FROZEN" OR "STUCK" FEELING IN THE STEERING WHILE GOING STRAIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN THE POSITION AND ALMOST HAVE TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE THAN USUAL TO GET IT TO MOVE. IN THE 7 MONTHS OF DRIVING, I WOULD SAY ITS HAPPEN NO LESS THAN 20 TIMES. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD FORUMS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. SAYING THAT HONDA ACTS LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE REPLACING THE WHOLE STEERING RACK AS A SOLUTION (WHICH HAS A DIFFERENT PART #). I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER BECAUSE IT TOOK THEM 4 TRIES TO INSTALL MY HEATED STEERING WHEEL CORRECTLY AND I AM JUST WASTING MY TIME WITHOUT A RECALL OR TSB. ON BEHALF OF MANY 2018 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS, THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT COULD POTENTIALLY GET WORSE I GUESS AND HARDER TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL OUT THE "NOTCH" RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE.

AT ONLY 4,200 MILES MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD SPORT 1.5L TURBO BEGAN HAVING AN EXTREMELY ANNOYING STEERING ISSUE. IT IS NOTICEABLE AT ALL SPEEDS, BUT IS TRULY SIGNIFICANT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE STEERING NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ABOUT EVERY 10 SECONDS, MOVING IT SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT, THEN 10 SECONDS LATER, SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT, OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP. ON LONG TRIPS THE ISSUE IS ALMOST UNBEARABLE AS I SPEND THE WHOLE TIME CORRECTING THE STEERING. I'VE HAD MANY CARS IN THE PAST THAT HAVE NEEDED WHEEL ALIGNMENTS, BUT THIS IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT FEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL (OR WHEELS) SEEM TO ACTUALLY STICK SLIGHTLY WHEN SLIGHTLY MOVING IT TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. AFTER PUTTING ENOUGH PRESSURE ON THE THE STEERING WHEEL, IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN MOVE BUT NEVER IN A SMOOTH MANNER, AGAIN IT SEEMS SLIGHTLY STUCK AND THEN JERKS TO THE SIDE THAT I'M TRYING TO CORRECT TO. I'VE NOW HAD TWO TIRE ROTATIONS (THINKING MAYBE IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM) AND EVEN PAID FOR A WHEEL ALIGNMENT, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS THE SAME. I REALLY HOPE THERE IS AN EVENTUAL SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING.

CAR IS 2 WEEKS OLD AND I'VE HAD THE CMBS WHICH CONTROLS THE AUTOBRAKING AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL GO OFF 4 TIMES WITH THE FAILURE WARNING AND TO SEE THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. EACH TIME WAS UNDER A DIFFERENT SET OF ENVIRONMENTS INCLUDING AT NIGHT, A CLOUDY DAY, RAIN, AND SUNNY. IT SEEMS TO FAIL WITHIN 10 MINS OF THE FIRST TIME THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE IS SET. THE GREEN LIGHT THAT INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS WORKING GOES OFF AND TURNS TO ORANGE. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR REPAIR BUT ONLINE SEARCHING SHOWS BOTH DEALERS AND HONDA DO NOT HAVE A FIX.

AFTER MY "BRAKE SYSTEM" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALERSHIP DENIED IT EVEN THOUGH I HAD RECORD OF IT, MY CAR DECIDED TO SEE HOW FAST IT COULD HIT THE BRAKES. I WAS DRIVING ON THE US-60 IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON, TRAVELING AT 65 MPH DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR, SO IT'S STILL DARK, ON A 6 LANE FREEWAY. I CAN SEE BRAKE LIGHTS FAR AHEAD, SO I LIGHTLY TAP MY BRAKES TO DISENGAGE ACC AND SLIGHTLY SLOW THE CAR DOWN. THE CAR HAD OTHER PLANS AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY LOCKED UP LIKE IT WAS USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKING FOR COLLISION MITIGATION' BUT NO WARNING/INFO SHOWED ON THE DASHBOARD AS IT NORMALLY DOES WHEN EMERGENCY SYSTEMS ENGAGE. SO BASICALLY MY CAR DECIDED IT WANTED TO SLAM ON ITS BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY FREEWAY, NEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, ALL BECAUSE I LIGHTLY TOUCHED THE BRAKES-- IT WAS NOT ABRUPT, IT WAS NOT A HARD PUSH... IT WAS LITERALLY TO TURN OFF ACC. I WATCHED THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AS THE SUV BEHIND ME WAS ABOUT TO PUT MY TRUNK IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, BUT THANKFULLY THEY WERE ABLE TO SWERVE INTO THE HOV LANE NEXT TO US. THEY BARELY MISSED ME AND IF THAT OPEN SPOT WAS NOT THERE FOR THEM, I'D LIKELY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. HONDA HAS IGNORED MY MESSAGES AND IT'S TIME TO LET OUR GOVERNMENT KNOW THIS CAR HAS ISSUES.

AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL IS "STICKING" WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT BECOMES "FROZEN" AND REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL BIT OF FORCE TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS MAKES HIGHWAY DRIVING VERY ANNOYING (AND SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS). THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AT HIGHER TEMPERATURES.

ON 2/14/19, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THE CAR AHEAD OF ME STOPPED. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND INSTANTLY THE DASHBOARD WARNINGS LIT UP - ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM, AND THE BRAKE - AND THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK SO I COULD NOT STOP. I REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DOING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR. THE WARNINGS WERE STILL VISIBLE AFTER THE CRASH AND I TOOK PICTURES OF THE DASHBOARD AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. THE WARNINGS SAY SOMETHING ABOUT SYSTEM NOT WORKING AND TO SEE A DEALER. THE SAME WARNINGS APPEARED ON 2/13/19 IN THE AFTERNOON BUT DISAPPEARED ON 2/14/19 IN THE MORNING. OTHER WARNINGS OF SAFETY SYSTEMS NOT ACTIVE HAVE APPEARED DUE TO ICE/SLUSH BUT THEN CLEARED WHEN THE SENSORS WERE CLEARED, BUT THESE NEW WARNINGS ARE DIFFERENT. AT LEAST TWICE, MAYBE THREE TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY BRAKE AND SLOW DOWN WITH NOTHING IN THE ROAD OR IN FRONT OF THE CAR. MY BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY WORKED FINE FOR FIRST 2-3 MONTHS BUT THEN STOPPED AND I COULDN'T RECONNECT THE PHONE OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS. IT SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN ONE SYSTEM/ELECTRONICS PROBLEM AND SEEMS LIKE THE WARNINGS APPEARED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BRAKE NOT WORKING AS IF IT WAS MORE THAN AN ALERT BUT A SYSTEM (SYSTEMS) NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AT ALL. THE BRAKE WORKED AFTER THE ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED.

STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FIRST NOTICED ON A LONG TRIP FROM VIRGINIA TO NJ AND THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE-TIME THING. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED ON THE RETURN TRIP. PROBLEM PRESENTS ITSELF INITIALLY AS THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS "FROZEN" IN PLACE. TO CORRECT THE NORMAL DRIFT, DRIVER MUST "BREAK" THE STEERING WHEEL FREE FROM THE FROZEN POSITION TO CORRECT THE DRIFT. THIS IS A CONTINUAL CONDITION AS THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNS INSTANTLY TO ITS FROZEN STATE AND MUST BE CONTINUALLY UN-STUCK DURING THE DURATION OF THE TRIP - GOING FROM STUCK TO UN-STUCK BACK TO STUCK. TRIP WAS MADE DURING COLD, RAINY, AND SOMETIMES LIGHTLY SNOWY CONDITIONS. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP AND IS BEING DRIVEN HOME BY TECHNICIANS IN AN ATTEMPT TO INDUCE THE FAULT. TURNED OFF ALL SYSTEMS SUSPECTED OF AFFECTING THIS CONDITION - ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, HONDA SENSING, LAND DEPARTURE WARNING, ETC. PROBLEM EXISTS WHETHER THESE FEATURES ARE ENGAGED OR NOT. THE PRESENCE OF THIS CONDITION MAKE ME VERY UNEASY ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55+ MPH AS I DON'T KNOW IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO JUST LOCK UP AND NOT BREAK FREE FROM ITS STUCK CONDITION.

MY COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM RANDOMLY FAILS WHICH POPS UP AN ALERT AND DISABLES MY ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING. IT HAS HAPPENED VARIOUS TIMES WHEN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL HAS BEEN ENGAGED WITH DIFFERENT ENVIRONEMENTAL SITUATUONS (DAY AND NIGHT, SUNNY AND CLOUDY). TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING TYPICALLY CORRECTS THE ISSUE FOR A TIME BUT IT CONTINUES TO FAIL INTERMENTLY.
