2018 Honda Accord complaints

ACCORD FRONT CHROME GRILL IS BUBBLING UP. NOTICED IT AFTER 1 DAY OF PURCHASE. CAR WAS IS MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I HAVE NOTICED THE BUBBLING. OTHER OWNERS HAVE NOTICED THE SAME THING AND HAVE HAD THE PART REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER, THEY REFUSED TO CHANGE THE PART UNDER WARRANTY.

1) WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE IN MOTION OR FROM A PARKED POSITION THERE IS A 'CLICKING' NOISE THAT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. IT SOUNDS LIKE A GEAR IS STUCK OR SOMETHING IS STUCK. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT IT HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT IS NOTICEABLE AND DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A NORMAL NOISE. 2) HONDA SENSING LIGHT WILL FLASH EVEN WHEN NO OBJECT IS APPROACHING AND WILL CONTINUE TO FLASH.

COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM,CAR BRAKES BY ITS SELF ,WAS DRIVING AT 75MPH AND CAR SLAMED ON BRAKES TO 35 ON US 71 ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ALSO MONITOR ON DASH THAT HAS HOME ,NAV,AUDIO SETTINGS SHUTS OFF BY ITS SELF AND REBOOTS.BRAKING PROBLEM HAPPENS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND NORMAL DRIVING. I PHOTO THE DASH 5 TIMES WHEN COLLISION MITIGATION WENT OFF IN A 5000 MILE PERIOD .

VEHICLE RUNNING, BOTH DRIVING AND STATIONARY, DASH INDICATED THREE WARNINGS: "ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM", "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING PROBLEM", "ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION PROBLEM". ALL THREE SYSTEMS WERE NONFUNCTIONAL. DEALER ADVISED TO DRIVE THROUGH A CAR WASH BEFORE COMING IN FOR REPAIR. THE CAR WASH APPEARS TO HAVE WORKED, BUT THIS IS ABSURD! EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR CAR IS DIRTY, THE SAFETY FEATURES DON'T WORK? DIDN'T SEE THIS DISCLOSURE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR OR WHEN I PAID FOR THESE FEATURES.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT 25 WHEN IT STARTED SHOWING THREE WARNINGS " COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM FAILURE, LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM FAILURE, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE (SEE YOUR DEALER). I CALLED MY LOCAL HNDA DEALERSHIP IN READING PA. THEY SAID THEY HAVE RECEIVED ALOT OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND THEY THINK THEY HONDA SENSING SYSTEM JUST FREEZES IN THE WINTER. IT ONLY SNOWED 5 INCHES A DAY PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. BASICALLY THEY SAID IT WILL GO AWAY ONCE ITS BIT WARMER AND THEY HAVE NO FACTORY RECALL. ALL THE DEALERSHIP COULD REPEAT " WE ARE SORRY". I LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND I FOUND 100S OF SIMILAR COMPLAINT. MY QUESTION IS WHY THEY ARE NOT FIXING IT? WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL? THE FAILURE OF THIS HONDA SENSING SYSTEM DEFEATS THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT THIS CAR ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS.

SINCE 1/14/2019, STEERING HAS BEEN STICKING AND DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN TRACK WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ADDITIONALLY, STEERING SEEMS ABNORMALLY "LOOSE" WHEN THE STICKING CONDITION IS NOT PRESENT. VEHICLE DOES NOT FEEL SECURE IN STEERING. LANE KEEP HAS BEEN TURNED OFF SINCE OCTOBER 2018. TIRE PRESSURE IS AS PER DOOR STICKER. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP NOW-HONDA IS REPLACING STEERING GEAR BOX-PART IS ON BACKORDER, WITH UNKNOWN AVAILABILITY OR DELIVERY DATE. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED IN NHTSA ID # 11171463, AND 11156728. PROBLEM APPEARED AT APPROXIMATELY 5500 MILES ON ODOMETER.

WHEEL WELLS BUILDING UP WITH ICE/SNOW CAUSING VEHICLE TO VIBRATE WHILE OPERATING (LIKE OUT OF ALIGNMENT) AND HINDERING THE TURNING OF THE VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT BECAUSE TIRES ARE HITTING THE ICE/SNOW BUILDUP ON WHEEL WELL.THE TIRES WHEN COLD ALSO BEHAVE AS IF ROAD IS SLIPPERY, BOTH IN ACCERALATION/STOPPING EVEN THOUGH ROAD MAY BE DRY. THIS OCCURS IN COLD TEMPERATURES ONLY. DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE OTHER THAN TO DRIVE VEHICLE INTO A HEATED GARAGE TO ALLOW ICE/SNOW BUILDUP TO MELT OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE TRAVELING 15-20 MILES IN SNOW CONDITIONS AND THE WHEEL WELL IS FULL OF SNOW AND THE TIRES ARE MAKING CONTACT WITH THIS SNOW WHICH WILL AFFECT THE TIRES AS WELL. NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN SHARPLY LEFT AND RIGHT IS DANGEROUS NOT ALLOWING DRIVER TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION NEED BE. TIRES APPEAR TO BE DANGEROUS IN COLD TEMPERATURES BECAUSE AFTER THEY WARM UP, THEY OPERATE OKAY. HOWEVER WHEN COLD, THE SLIP AND SLIDE BEHAVING LIKE YOU ARE ON ICY ROADS EVEN THOUGH ROAD IS DRY. TOOK TO DEALER TODAY.ADDITIONAL PICTURES AND THE INVOICE FROM DEALERSHIP AVAILABLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT FAILED TO WORK WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED. HONDA OF NEW ROCHELLE (25 E MAIN ST, NEW ROCHELLE, NY 10801, (888) 905-3762) SUGGESTED THAT THE CONTACT "TRICK" THE VEHICLE BY PUTTING ON HER SEAT BELT AND SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. THE HEAT STARTED TO WORK; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CALLED BACK ONE MONTH LATER AND STATED THAT THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE REPORTS THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED HER STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND RESEARCHED THE LEMON LAWS. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER THAT SHE DID NOT WANT THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER BY LETTER THAT SHE WANTED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DEALER'S GENERAL MANAGER INSTRUCTED THE CONTACT TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE DEALER'S LOT. THE GENERAL MANAGER THREATENED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE PLACED BY THE ROAD WHERE IT WOULD GET TICKETED. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE PLATES AND LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 818.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V629000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION, VISIBILITY). AFTER THE SOFTWARE WAS REPROGRAMMED, THERE WAS A FIVE SECOND DELAY IN WHICH THE BACK UP CAMERA REBOOTED AND THE SYSTEM DISPLAY WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. HERITAGE HONDA OF BEL AIR (LOCATED AT 1800 BELAIR RD, FALLSTON, MD 21047, (410) 343-5644) WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

LEASED 2018 HONDA ACCORD IN OCTOBER, 25 MILES LATER HAD CHECKED ENGINE LIGHT ON,TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER,EMISSION HOSE WASN'T ATTACHED PROPERLY. AFTER 900 MILES THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WENT OUT ( I DID NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES) TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER ONE THE ROD WASN'T SET RIGHT, NOW IT'S JANUARY 2019 AND HAVE 4000 MILES YESTERDAY THE CAR STARTED TO SUPPORTER AND ALL THE WARNING STARTED FLASHING AUTO HIGH BEAM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, COLLISION MITIGATION, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION....ALL THIS SING SAID SEE YOUR DEALER..GUESS WHAT I CALLED THE DEALER FIRST THING THIS MORNING..TODAY IS JANUARY 24 2019 STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER ALL THIS TECHNOLOGY IS TOTALLY USELESS... I HAD 2002 HONDA ACCORD WITH 310,000 MILES AND NO TECHNOLOGY

THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM SOMETIMES AUTOMATICALLY SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AT HIGHWAYS SPEED WHEN THERE IS NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, NEARLY CAUSING COLLISIONS WITH VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND ME.

WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION, LOUD BUZZING SOUND COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE VIEW MIRROR. HIGHWAY AND GENERAL DRIVING IN TOWN AND SECONDARY ROADS.

LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE DASH ON THE LEFT SIDE IN THE DRIVER'S AREA. SEEMS TO OCCUR AT ALL SPEEDS, REGARDLESS OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. IN DECEMBER 2018 I WAS INFORMED BY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT HONDA WORKING ON A "FIX" BUT I HAVE SEEN NOTHING YET ABOUT A TSB OR RECALL. NOTICED NOISE NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE IN FEB 2018. ANNOYING FOR A NEW CAR TO BE NOISY.

STEERING SYSTEM "STICKS" AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT REQUIRES SOME FORCE TO CORRECT FOR THIS WHICH CAN CAUSE AN OVER-CORRECTION IN STEERING AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES ON IT. FOUND THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FROM THE 'ACCORDXCLUB.COM" AUTO CLUB: "THE DEALER HAD MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND BROUGHT IN HONDA'S FIELD ENGINEER SINCE THIS WAS THE SECOND CASE OF THIS STEERING ISSUE THEY HAD SEEN RECENTLY. THE TECH'S NOTES ON MY INVOICE STATE "STEERING GEAR BOX BINDING / REPLACED GEAR BOX". IT WAS A SINGLE PART REPLACEMENT -- 53620-TWA-A28. AT $2,100 FOR THE PART, NOT INCLUDING LABOR, I PITY ANYONE THAT ENDS UP WITH THIS PROBLEM OUT OF WARRANTY! " SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE NUMEROUS OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.

I GOT MY HONDA ACCORD SPORT ON NOVEMBER 30 2018 WITH 8 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT THERE WAS NO HEAT IN THE CAR. I ALSO NOTICED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN THE DASH WAS NOT REACHING 'ENGINE TEMPERATURE. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER HONDA OF NEW ROCHELLE, COMPLAINING OF NO HEAT WHILE IDLING. I WAS TOLD TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE WITH MY SEATBELTS AND BRAKES ON TO TRICK IT' THAT SEEMED TO WORK. A WEEK LATER IT STARTED TO GET TO ENGINE TEMPERATURE WHILE IDLING WITHOUT TRICKING IT. A WEEK LATER WHILE IDLING THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF NEVER TO START AGAIN. THE VALVES WERE DAMAGED. HONDA REPLACED THE ENGINE THAT ONLY HAD 800 MILES. NOW THEY WANT TO GIVE ME BACK THE CAR WHEN I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING INHERENTLY DEFECTIVE WITH THE ENGINE DESIGN.

IN THE STATES WHERE IT SNOWS, THE CAR COLLECTS LARGE AMOUNTS OF SNOW ON THE FRONT, AND KNOCKS OUT THE RADAR SYSTEM FOR THE LANE DEPARTURE DETECTION SYSTEM, WITCH ALSO IS FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM, THAT HELPS WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND ANY CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. I AM NOT SURE IF IT ACTUALLY AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE IN THE SNOW IS NOT A TIME TO USE IT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE FOLLOWING WARNING INDICATOR APPEARED, "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER." THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME AND THE BRAKES HAD NOT BEEN APPLIED. THIS DID GO OUT AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER BUT THEY WOULD NOT HELP SINCE THE WARNING MESSAGE WENT OFF. HOWEVER, IT APPEARS OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AS I AM AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO ADDRESS OR CORRECT IT.

OIL IS SEEPING FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I DO NOT KNOW THE NAME OF THIS COMPONENT. INITIALLY AND SHORTLY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR NOVEMBER 2018, THERE WAS THE SMELL OF OIL/GAS AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR. I DO NOT NOTICE IT NOW. I CHECK THE DIPSTICK OIL LEVEL ROUTINELY AND HAD TWO DEALERSHIPS CHECK THE OIL LEVEL; ONE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE OIL. HOWEVER, THE CURRENT OIL LEVEL ON THE DIP STICK INDICATES THAT IT IS OVER-FULL AND THERE IS A SLIGHT SMELL OF GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK. THE OIL SEEMS VERY THIN (NOT VISCOUS) AND RUNS QUICKLY OFF OF THE DIPSTICK.

COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL IT WILL DISENGAGE AND THIS ERROR WILL SHOW UP ALSO BRAKING LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF WITH NOTHING AROUND OR NEAR THE SENSORS.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING GOING GROCERY SHOPPING WHEN I NOTICED MY VEHICLES STABILITY CONTROL BEGAN TO ACTIVATE AT RANDOM TIMES AND NO RAIN/SNOW WAS PRESENT ON THE GROUND. I TURNED THE IGNITION OF AND ON TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT ONLY NOTICE THE SAME THING WAS REPEATEDLY HAPPING.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A ONE LANE ROAD WITH NO ONE ELSE AROUND MY SUNROOF/ MOON ROOF EXPLODED/SHATTERED. ACCORDING TO CONSUMER REPORTS (HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CAR-SAFETY/EXPLODING-SUNROOFS-DANGER-OVERHEAD) - THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN HONDA ACCORDS. THE DEALER REFUSES TO ACCEPT THE GLASS COULD HAVE SHATTERED ON ITS OWN AND SAYS THAT ITS DUE TO AN OUTSIDE INFLUENCE AND WILL NOT COVER THE CAR UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED SEP 18,2018. I HAD TO PAY OVER $1,375.19 FOR REPAIR.

ENGINE OIL SMELLS STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. THIS IS THE SAME 1.5L TURBO GDI ENGINE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ALREADY IN THE CIVIC AND CRV.

THE CAR HAS A SENSOR FOR BREAKING. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THE CAR BREAKING SYSTEM COMES ON MAKING THE VEHICLE COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. DURING SEVERAL OF THESE DANGEROUS BREAKING EVENTS NO VEHICLES OR OBJECTS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN RARE ENDED BECAUSE OF THE BREAKING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT EVEN S SHADOW FROM A TREE CAN TRIGGER THE SENSOR TO MAKE THE BREAKING SYSTEM TURN ON MAKING THE CAR COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THIS FEATURE COMPLETELY OFF. WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF IT RESETS ONCE YOU TURN THE IGNITION TO START THE CAR AGAIN. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED.

MY CAR HAS CRACKS IN THE WINDSHIELD LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FROM BOTH SIDES ON THE WIPER BLADES TRAILS. IT HAS NOT BEEN HIT BY A ROCK. I NOTICED IT ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN I WAS USING THE WIPERS ON RAINY DAYS. I WAS TOLD BY THE GLASS REPAIR SHOPS THAT IT WAS CAUSED DUE TO THE HEATED WIPERS WHILE IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN TO WORK THE CRACKS APPEARED TO TRAVEL LONGER ON THE WINDSHIELD.

THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY FAILED TWICE ON MY MONTH OLD 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THIS FAILS, THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO DEACTIVATED. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE.

COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM FAILED, WORKS FINE AFTER RESTART. ISSUE OCCURS EVERY 70 MILES AND REQUIRES A RESTART TO FIX.

THE SENSOR FOR THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM IS LOCATED WHERE IT IS VERY VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE AND IT STOPS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHEN IT COLLECTS EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF SNOW. OTHER VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE SENSORS ANYWHERE NEAR THIS VULNERABLE. THIS SYSTEM IS PROMOTED AS ADDING TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, BUT BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN AND LOCATION ON THE 2018/2019 ACCORD IT IS VERY VULNERABLE TO FAILURE. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO BASICALLY SAID THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM SINCE THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE LOCATION OF THE SENSOR. I THINK THEY WILL IN TIME. THIS SENSOR WAS DAMAGED ON MY NEW ACCORD WHILE DRIVING DOWN AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN ARKANSAS AFTER OWNING THE CAR TWO WEEKS AND A DAY. SINCE IT IS DAMAGE, THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE COST TO REPAIR THE SENSOR. I AM CONCERNED THIS IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THIS SENSOR.

AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF MY ACCORD ON DEC 7, 2018 I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WEREN'T ON EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER DOOR WAS OPEN. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD JUST TURNED THE SWITCH OFF. AFTER ARRIVING HOME I MADE SURE THE DOOR SWITCH WAS IN THE "DOOR" POSITION AND THE REAR LIGHT SWITCH WAS IN THE MIDDLE. THE OVERHEAD LIGHT, REAR LIGHTS STILL WOULD NOT COME ON AFTER OPENING THE DOOR. THERE WAS ALSO NO VANITY MIRROR OR TRUNK LIGHTS. A FEW DAYS LATER THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS BEGAN COMING ON BY THEMSELVES AND FADE OUT AFTER 15 SECONDS. IT DID IT WHILE THE DOORS WERE OPEN OR CLOSED AND SOMETIMES WHILE STARTING THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON DEC 13 AND THE TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THAT THE LIGHTS WERE ON SOME KIND OF TIMER. REALLY? IT APPLIED POWER TO THE LIGHTS AT A SET INTERVAL. FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE INTERVAL THE LIGHTS WORKED PERFECTLY, THEN SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT WORK AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT INTERVAL. THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED A NEW LIGHTING MODULE. THE MODULE WAS INSTALLED ON DEC 20 AND THE LIGHTS DID THE SAME THING. THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE BATTERY, WIRING, FUSES, BULBS, OR LIGHT MODULE. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S CONTROLLING THE TIMING. THE LIGHTS SHOULDN'T BE ON ANY TIMER. THE ENGINEERS AT AMERICAN HONDA WERE STUMPED. I NOW HAVE TO BRING IT BACK NEXT WEEK SO THE TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERSHIP CAN TALK WITH THE ENGINEERS IN JAPAN THAT DESIGNED THE CAR. ON THE SURFACE THIS SEEMS LIKE A SIMPLE PROBLEM BUT IN ACTUALITY IT'S INCREDIBLY COMPLEX. LIKE HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL

RATTLING / VIBRATION COMING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE DASH AREA WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. HAPPENS AFTER CAR IS WARMED UP, AND IS AN INDICATION OF A LOOSE PIECE THAT COULD BECOME DETACHED AND CAUSE INJURY.

UPON COMPLETION OF THE DRIVING THE CAR, I WILL PUT THE CAR INTO THE GARAGE. AFTER 10-20 MINUTES HAS PASSED, I WALK OUT TO THE GARAGE AND THE WHOLE GARAGE SMELLS LIKE UNBURNT FUEL. ON OCCASION IF THE TIME BETWEEN DRIVES IS SHORT, THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE CAR WILL ALSO SMELL LIKE FUEL. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES SO FAR, WITH NO LUCK HELPING. TODAY WILL BE THE 5TH TIME IN THE FIRST 20000 MILES. I PUT IT AS LAST WEEK BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT MADE ME SEND IT BACK TO DEALER YET AGAIN, BUT THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR MONTHS.

MY WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A STRESS CRACK ON THE LOWER MID DRIVER SIDE THAT STARTED AT THE PILLAR AND SPREAD TO THE CENTER. TOOK TO THREE DIFFERENT SHOPS AND ALL STATED IT WAS A STRESS CRACK. OTHER ACCORDS OF THE SAME YEAR ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WHICH ALSO DISPLAYS REAR VIEW CAMERA RANDOMLY RESTARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACKUP AND BRAKE SENSOR ALERTS FAILED TO FUNCTION AND THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE BRIGHTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOSS BROS HONDA (LOCATED AT 27990 EUCALYPTUS AVE, MORENO VALLEY, CA 92555, (951) 486-9366) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND BUMPER SENSORS FAILED AND NEEDED SENSORS. THE DEALER DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE HEADLIGHT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V629000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION, VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,488.

OIL HAS GAS IN IT ,DEALER SAYS THEIR IS NO FIX AFRAID TO DRIVE AFRAID ENGINE WILL BLOW UP.HAD OIL CHANGED AT 1900 MILES 100 MILES LATER GAS INOIL AGAIN

THE SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION IS VIOLENT AND FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED THIS HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY IN COLDER TEMPERATURES THIS HAPPENS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP OR A ROLLING STOP.

WHEN DRIVING MORE THAN 25 MILES IN A DAY MY STEERING WHEEL WILL STIFFEN UP AND THEN IT WILL RELEASE WITH A JERKING LIKE MOTION ( ALMOST SIMILAR TO A RACK AND PINION ISSUE IN AN OLDER VEHICLE). IT PROGRESSES THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTINUE THE TRIP. HONDA HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS AND SAID IT'S THE WAY THE SUSPENSION IS SET UP, HOWEVER IT SHOULDN'T BE STIFFENING UP AND JERKING AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. HONDA IS CURRENTLY IN POSSESSION OF THE ACCORD TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 17 DAYS AS OF THIS POSTING. WITH ALL THAT SAID, I KEEP ALL THE DRIVING SUPPORT FEATURES DISABLED. THIS STEERING ISSUE HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS DURING THE TIME OF MAINTAINING A CERTAIN SPEED FROM 25+ MPH. IT'S QUITE SCARY TO DRIVE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE 2ND ISSUE I'VE REPOSTED SINCE PURCHASING THE ACCORD IS I ALSO HAVE TO KEEP THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM TURNED OFF WHEN AS SOON AS I REMEMBER TO DISABLE IT AFTER EACH STARTUP AS I'VE HAD SUDDEN STOPS BY THE CAR AT A NEARBY RAILROAD TRACK AND A HIGHWAY SIGN THAT GOES ACROSS A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN TEXAS WHICH I WAS GOING 45MPH. DUE TO THE FACT IT THINKS THERE'S SOMETHING IN FRONT OF ME AND STOPS THE CAR. I'VE HAD WHIPLASH TWICE FROM THE CMBS SYSTEM ALERTING THE CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE HAULT. I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS BEHIND AT THE TIMES OF THESE INCIDENTS, BUT ONE DAY I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.

RE: NHTSA RECALL 18V-629 DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE DISPLAY AUDIO UNIT, AS REQUIRED BY THE RECALL. THE REPROGRAMMING FAILED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, IN FACT, IT MADE IT WORSE.. THE DISPLAY NOW STARTS AND REBOOTS AT RANDOM WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN, INCLUDING WHEN IT IS IN REVERSE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS OWN 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

LAST SERVICE CHECK, APPROX 1 WEEK, SHOWED BATTERY PARTIALLY DISCHARGED (MARKED AS "FAILED" AND "REPLACE" ON THE SERVICE REPORT. NO APPARENT REASON. TODAY, AFTER A RAINY DAY AND NOT USING THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE, FOUND THE CAR LOCKED AS ALWAYS BUT ALL FOUR WINDOWS WERE DOWN. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. THE FIRST TIME WAS 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN A NEIGHBOR CALLED TO TELL ME THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN. THE CAR WAS LOCKED THEN AS WELL, IT WAS ALSO AFTER A RAINY DAY. IN BOTH OCCURRENCES, THERE WAS NO WATER IN THE VEHICLE OR ON THE SEATS.

AS I WAS PULLING OUT THE GARAGE FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HEADING TOWARDS THE HIGHWAY TO SAN FRANCISCO THE MILES PER HOUR IS 30 ENTERING AND THEN 65 MPH WHEN YOU GET ON HIGHWAY. THE DASH BOARD INDICATES THE WRONG MILES FOR SPEED IT SAID 100 MPH. IT STAYED LIKE THAT FOR MORE THAN 5 MINS. I ALREADY HAD A PREVIOUS SITUATION WITH THIS VEHICLE WHERE THE BRAKING SYSTEMS ENGAGED AS I WAS ON HIGHWAY IN 05/13/2018, AND ALMOST CAUSED MY LIFE AND OTHERS BEHIND ME, THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE FROM BEING REAR ENDED AND OVER 18K WORTH OF DAMAGE BUT HONDA DEALER KEEP SAYING NOTHING WAS FOUND FAULTY! I HAD THEM TURN 'OFF' ALL SAFETY MODES CAUSE I'M AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN BUT IT KEEPS COMING BACK 'ON'. IT YANKED ME SEVERAL TIMES WHEN NO OTHER CAR IS AROUND ME. THE BRAKING LIGHT APPEARED SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY SINCE I GOT IT BACK, AND IT'S LIKE THEY DON'T BELIEVE YOU. NOW AFTER ALL THIS I'M STUCK WITH A FAULTY CAR I'M REALLY THINKING ABOUT GETTING A LAWYER ON THIS. AND MY SPEAKERS SEEM NOT TO BE RIGHT EITHER THE SOUNDING IS VERY LOW COMPARED TO WHEN I GOT IT. ONLY 2000 MILES AND THIS CAR BEEN A PAIN . PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY! AND DID I MENTION THAT MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T WORK FROM FIRST INCIDENT I REPORTED. AFTER CAR WAS CRUSHED IN FROM BEING HIT FROM BEHIND . NOPE THEY FAILED TOO.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL(ACC) STOPS WORKING WITH ERROR "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER."I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 60MPH WITH ACC ON AND SUDDENLY THE ERROR POPS OUT. ERROR GOES WAY WHEN YOU RESTART THE CAR. BUT REPEATS AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY. YOU CANNOT USE ACC AGAIN UNTIL YOU RESTART THE CAR.

TWO SEPARATE ISSUES: 1) WITH ONLY 2,400 MILES ON THE ACCORD, ON OCTOBER 7, 2018 IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER 2 OR 3 TIMES OVER A 60-MILE STRETCH OF THE BUSY 405 FREEWAY, EACH TIME SLOWING FROM 65 MPH TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH OR LESS DESPITE MAINTAINING EVEN PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. NO CRUISE CONTROL WAS USED AT ANY TIME. THE SUDDEN DECELERATION COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. 2) ON NOVEMBER 30, 2018, I ATTEMPTED TO RESUME MOTION AFTER STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT. THE ACCORD'S GAS PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 6 SECONDS, THEN SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD. THIS ALSO COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND OFF .DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITH REMOTE OR MANUAL. ONLY DRIVER'S DOOR WITH THE REMOTE. ALSO AUTO LOCK/UNLOCK DIDN'T WORK IN PARK AND DRIVE. STARTED THE CAR AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHED WARNINGS OF: LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER., ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER. AUTO HIGH BEAM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER. AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER. I LET THE CAR SIT FOR A HALF HOUR. DOORS UNLOCKED WITH REMOTE WITH NO PROBLEM. STARTED CAR AND ALL WAS BACK TO NORMAL. TOOK THE CAR TO MY HONDA DEALER TO ADVISE THEM OF THIS ISSUE AND SHOWED THEM A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH NO EXPLANATION OF WHY OR REMEDY. MY HONDA DEALER HAD NOT HAD ANYONE ELSE COME IN WITH MY CARS ISSUE AS OF TODAY 11/30/2018. HONDA DEALER CHECKED MY BATTERY AND IT IS PERFECT, 12.3 VOLTS, MEASURED:640CCA, RATED: 550CCA. MY CAR HAS ONLY 6,388 MILES, PURCHASED 5/23/2018. PRETTY SCARY AND NOT HAPPY THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH A NEW CAR.

I LIVE IN ROCHESTER NY AND EVEN WITH VERY LIGHT SNOW THAT IS NOT EVEN COLLECTING ON THE ROADWAY I GET AN URGENT NOTIFICATION THAT CRASH AVOIDANCE AND ANY RADAR BASED SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE COMPROMISED AND NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THIS IS DUE TO THE RADAR UNIT BEING INTERFERED WITH SNOW COLLECTION AS IT IS IN THE SHAPE OF A SQUARE CUP AND IT COLLECTS SNOW LIKE A SCOOP. THERE IS NO HEATING ELEMENT ON THE UNIT AT ALL TO KEEP IT CLEAR OF SNOW AND IT'S LOCATION IS SUCH THAT IT IS RENDERED TOTALLY USELESS IN ANY SNOW WHAT SO EVER. BMW, MERCEDES AND AUDI ALL EITHER HAVE HIDDEN THEIR UNITS BEHIND ITEMS THAT ARE HEATED FOR NORTHERN CLIMATES OR THE RADAR UNIT ITSELF IS GENTLY HEATED BELOW A PARTICULAR TEMPERATURE TO AVOID LOOSING ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS. THIS IS SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE IN A MODERN CAR AND I WOULD ASK NHTSA TO LOOK INTO WITH HONDA RECALLING ALL NORTHERN CARS TO CHANGE THE RADAR UNIT TO A HEATED VERSION OR TO RELOCATE IT BEHIND AN EMBLEM OR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T COLLECT SNOW LIKE A SCOOP. IT IS A VERY POOR DESIGN AND IMPACTS ALL DISTANCE AND CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS PRESENT ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A 2.0 TOURING EDITION WITH EVERY AVAILABLE OPTION SO IT IS NOT FOR A LACK OF SPENDING MONEY FOR SAFETY THAT'S FOR SURE. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND ARE TELLING PEOPLE IT'S MADE THAT WAY AND FRANKLY THE SENSOR SHOULD BE HEATED IN NORTHERN CLIMATES. NICE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BLACKED OUT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ZIMBRICK HONDA (LOCATED AT 1601 W BELTLINE HWY, MADISON, WI 53713, (608) 273-2555) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

NEW HONDA ACCORD 2.0T WITH 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGH AND SLOW FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ON HONDA ACCORD OWNER FORUMS AND ACURA RDX OWNER FORUMS (THE TWO VEHICLES SHARE THE SAME ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION). THE VEHICLE NORMALLY SHIFTS HARD FROM 2ND TO 3RD, BUT OCCASIONALLY IT IS VERY SLOW TO ENGAGED 3RD GEAR AND THEN SLAMS INTO GEAR. IT'S VERY STRANGE HOW IT FEELS. IT CAN CAUSE THERE TO BE A HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND FEELS LIKE IT'S DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH WHO ADVISED THERE'S NO TSB OR CAMPAIGN FROM HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THERE IS HOWEVER A VIDEO THAT ACURA HAS POSTED FOR THEIR SERVICE TECHNICIANS ADVISING THEM TO FOLLOW A "CLUTCH BREAK IN PROCEDURE" TO RESOLVE THE ROUGH SHIFTING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ON 11/21/2018 AND I HEARD A VERY LOUD SOUND. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, "WHAT WAS THAT?" I LOOKED UP AND SAW MY SUNROOF SHATTERED AND BROKEN PIECES OF GLASS IN MY PASSENGER'S SEAT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS INCIDENT. I DID NOT SEE ANY FLYING OBJECTS AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE STRANGEST THING. I PULLED THE SUNROOF SHADE TO CLOSE-OUT THE NOISE AND DROVE HOME. I'M TRYING TO RATIONALIZE THIS EVENT AND I AM STILL UNABLE TO MAKE SENSE OF IT. I DECIDED TO SEARCH THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. I PURCHASED MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD ALMOST 7 MONTHS AGO AND I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED. I BELIEVE THIS MIGHT BE FACTORY DEFECT, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROVE IT. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO FILE A CLAIM, BUT I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $500 DEDUCTIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND BEING SERVICED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND STATED THAT THE FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. A POLICE REPORT AND A FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED AND IT WAS UNKNOWN IF IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY STARTED THE CLAIM PROCESS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT VIN AVAILABLE *JB

WHILE IN MOTION IN REVERSE MY CAMERA DID NOT WORK PROPERLY AND I STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE TURNING SLIGHTLY.

FAULTY BACKUP CAMERA. WHILE BACKING UP HIT A CAR AND HONDA IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSABILITY.

FUEL DILUTION IN MOTOR OIL. BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, CHECKED DIPSTICK, OIL LEVEL IS UP PAST THE UPPER LINE AND SMELLS OF GAS. SENT A SAMPLE OF MOTOR OIL FOR TESTING AND CAME BACK HIGH FOR FUEL % IN OIL. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ONLY 1700 MILES! THE CAR IS DRIVEN AN AVERAGE OF 40 MILES A DAY, SO SHORT TRIPS IS NOT A FACTOR. CHANGED OIL USING HONDA FILTER AND MOBIL 1 0W-20 TO SPEC, AND AFTER 500 MILES, OIL LEVEL IS UP AND SMELLS OF GAS AGAIN. ATTACHED IS THE USED OIL ANALYSIS AT 1700 MILES.
