2018 Honda Accord complaints

STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIES AND SHAKES AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY. CAR PULLS OUT OF LANE W/O DRIVER DOING ANYTHING. DRIVER ASSISTANCE NOTICE APPEARS ON SCREEN. 'LANE DEPARTURE' 'STEERING REQUIRED' IS THE MESSAGE. OCCURS W/O WARNING SOMETIMES 10 TIMES WITHIN 15 MINUTES, OTHER TIMES LESS OFTEN. UNPREDICTABILITY LEAVES DRIVER TENSE! WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC HONDA ISSUED WARNING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM : JA02922. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE ONLINE. MECHANIC SAID DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO TEST DRIVE AND DO A FORCE OR PHASE MATCHING. IS THIS CAR SAFE TO DRIVE? DO FACTORY TIRES NEED REPLACEMENT? WE HAVE 5000 MILES ON IT AND ARE DRIVING ACROSS COUNTRY TO MOVE FROM AL TO CO...VERY STRESSFUL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND DECELERATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. HUGHES HONDA (2250 MOODY ROAD, WARNER ROBINS, GEORGIA 31088, (478) 449-3939) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR MAY HAVE BEEN FAULTY. THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONED IN GERMANY AND REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V629000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION, VISIBILITY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,000.

SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN JULY AND ESPECIALLY OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST TWO MONTHS THE CAR HAS BEEN EXHIBITING ERRORS WITH THE CPU (HONDA SENSING) SYSTEM ON BOARD. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SEEMS TO EXHIBIT ISSUES WHICH I HAVE TAKEN UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO OCCASIONS WHERE IT APPEARS TO SHIFT HARD UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION AND EVEN UNDER PASSING POWER. ALSO, UPON ACCELERATING, THE CAR WILL SEEM TO BOG DOWN LIKE IT HAS A AIR INTAKE ISSUE(SENSATION FEELING) IT DOES IT FROM STOP AND GO AT TIMES AND ALSO WHEN AT SPEED. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN IT RAINS IT SEEMS TO BE EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED AS WELL. THE OTHER ISSUE HAS BEEN THE HONDA SENSING. AS OF LATE I HAVE FOUND MYSELF TURNING OFF CERTAIN "SAFETY" FEATURES OUT OF FEAR OF THEM MALFUNCTIONING AFTER TWO FREAK INCIDENTS. TWICE WHEN AT SPEEDS ON THE HWY, THE EMERGENCY MITIGATING BRAKE HAS ENGAGED WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND OR IN FRONT ME, BASICALLY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ANOTHER TIME THE STEERING HAS TRIED TO YANK ME INTO ANOTHER LANE THINKING I HAVE GONE OFF THE ROAD, THE ROAD MITIGATION SYSTEM. THESE ISSUES COULD HAVE PROVEN VERY DANGEROUS IN BOTH SITUATIONS IF VEHICLES WERE NEXT TO ME OR BEHIND ME AND THESE ISSUES WITH A BRAND NEW CAR ARE NOT MAKING ME FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. ALSO, ANOTHER NEW ITEM WHICH I HAVE CAUGHT ON CAMERA IS THE RADIO HEAD UNIT HAS NOW BEGAN TO SHUT OFF INTERMITTENTLY DURING NORMAL OPERATION FOR NO APPARENT REASON OR CAUSE. I HAVE HAD THE RECALL ON THE BACK UP CAMERA COMP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR CAMERA SYSTEM FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE CONTACT CALLED HONDA OF COVINGTON (100 HOLIDAY SQUARE BLVD, COVINGTON, LA 70433, 1-877-892-0042) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER THE RECALL. THE CONTACT EXPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER THAT THE REMEDY OF REPROGRAMMING THE DISPLAY AUDIO UNIT SOFTWARE FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED VIA MAIL OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V629000 (VISIBILITY: REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES); HOWEVER, HE RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION VIA THE MANUFACTURER'S APP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AGAIN BY THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

CPSC: PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD, APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING IT, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP , THEY SAID SOMETHING MUST HAVE IMPACTED THE DOOR(THOUGH THERE WERE NO MARKS OR DENTS OF ANY KIND). *DT *JS

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 75 MILES AN HOUR AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGED. NO CARS AROUND. HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE (ESPECIALLY TRACTOR TRAILER) THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS COLLISION. I DO NOT WANT THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. DEALER SAYS ITS NOT A WARRANTY PROBLEM. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS

I GOT THE RECALL LETTER REGARDING SAFETY RECALL FOR REPROGRAMMING OF REARVIEW IMAGE FOR FREE. I WENT TO TENAFLY HONDA DEALER IN NJ WITH A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO SEE THE MANAGER BEFORE RECALL CHECK UP. FOR 20 MINUTES LATER, HE SAID MY CAR IS NOT FOR THE RECALL. THERE AS RE SEVERAL CUSTOMERS ARE THE SAME SITUATIONS LIKE ME. HE PRINTED OUT THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS THAT. I HAVE A RECALL LETTER BUT THEY ARE SAYING THAT MY CAR IS NOT RECALL. WHEN I COME TO SEE NHTSA WEBSITE TO CHECK MY VINYL NUMBER, IT SHOWS 0 BUT SHOWS 11.3.2018 UPDATED INFORMATION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS IF THEY JUST UPDATED THE SYSTEM WITHOUT REALLY CHECKING THE CAR AT ALL. WHAT DID THEY UPDATE THE SYSTEM WHILE REFUSING MY RECALL SERVICE? I SAW OTHERS HAD THE SAME SITUATION. THEY TURNED THE PEOPLE AWAY FROM RECALL SERVICE WHILE THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NO RECALL. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THIS. I HOPE THEY DON'T FRAUD ON PEOPLE' RECALLS ON CARS. THIS IS RELATED TO THE PERSON'S LIFE AND SAFELY. MY CAR IS FINE BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE ON MY RECALL STATUS. DEALER NEVER CHECKED MY CAR AT ALL REGARDING RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD IN MY TOWN AND NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME AND I DID NOT LANE DEPARTURE AT ALL AND THE CAR SUDDENLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ALMOST FOR NO REASON THANKFULLY NO CARS WERE BEHIND ME. THIS ALSO HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS COMING UP FAST LUCKILY THEY NOTICED MY CAR BRAKING AND GOT OVER. SOMETIMES MY COMPUTER SYSTEM SHUTS OFF AND MY RADIO AND MY WHOLE DASH IF FROZEN I CAN'T DO THE TOUCHSCEEEN OR ANY OF THE SIDE BUTTONS AS NONE OF IT WILL WORK THEY ONLY WAY FOR IT WORK IS TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THE BACKUP CAMERA ALSO TAKES A WHILE TO GO ON I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE AND THE SCREEN IS BLACK AND I PUT IT IN PARK AND REVERSE AGAIN AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF CONCORD (LOCATED AT 7650 BRUTON SMITH BLVD, CONCORD, NC 28027, (704) 774-4538) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IN THE ENGINE AND RISING OIL LEVEL. CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 200 MILES ON IT! THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAD EXPECTED FROM A HONDA.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING TOOK CAR FROM 60 TO 0 ON HIGHWAY (ROUTE 65N IN NASHVILLE). LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME (IT WAS 6AM) OR I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR CONTROL THE CAR AT THIS POINT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST MONTH. THIS TURNS A TOUTED SAFETY FEATURE INTO A HAZARDOUS FEATURE. PLANNING ON A DEALER VISIT THIS FRIDAY

'TAKATA RECALL' MY TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN BY KEY FOB OR BY PRESSING THE BUTTON ALONG SIDE THE DRIVER DOOR. I HAVE TO MANUALLY USE MY KEY INSIDE THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT WHERE THERE'S AN KEY LOCK AREA TO OPEN THE TRUNK.

THE SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, IS SO UNSAFELY VIOLENT THAT IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REAR ENDED. THE CONDITION OCCURS WHILE ACCELERATING AT A MILD PACE AND WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS YET TO WARM UP. THE CONDITION IS PRESENT IN BOTH ECON AND NORMAL DRIVE MODES. THE CONDITION HAS NOT BEEN EXPERIENCED IN SPORT MODE. THE CONDITION OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE COLLISION MITIGATION AND BRAKING SYSTEM WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF AND DISABLE THE CRUISE CONTROL. DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG, CLAIM THE SENSORS ARE OVERLOADED. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON BRIGHT SUNNY DAYS, CLOUDY DAYS AND AT NIGHT. SENSOR ON FRONT OF CAR IS CLEAN; NO BUGS, SMEARS OR LIQUIDS. WILL RESET WITH A STOP/START OF THE ENGINE. CODE CHECK REVEALED. UO401-53 TEMPORARY STOP OF INTEGRATED DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEM -- RECEIVED STOP REQUEST BY PGM-FI SYSTEM. ERROR CODE 401-93 TEMPORARY STOP OF INTEGRATED DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEM -- RECEIVED STOP REQUEST BY PGM-FI SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON AND MOVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 12 TIMES IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS, MOST RECENT WAS TODAY.

5 BRAKING ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 4 HOURS: ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST SYSTEM PROBLEM. ALL ERRORS DIRECTED ME TO "SEE YOUR DEALER". THE VEHICLE OPERATED PERFECTLY PRIOR TO THIS. I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR OR EVEN LOCK IT AFTER THESE ERRORS APPEARED. THE BATTERY WAS ALSO DRAINED BECAUSE THESE MESSAGES KEPT APPEARING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE PRESSED THE FUEL TANK DOOR, IT FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200.

HEAVY RAIN STARTED TO FALL WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT MOVING FAST ENOUGH CAUSING ME TO BECOME BLINDED AND NO ABILITY TO SEE WHILE HUGE TRUCKS SOON PASS STRAIGHT ME CAUSING MORE WATER TO LAND ON THE WINDSHIELD.

DRIVING MY NEW 2018 ACCORD EX-L 2.0 IN THE LEFT LANE ON I65 GOING SOUTH TOWARD LAFAYETTE IN ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 5. THERE WERE TWO SOUTHBOUND LANES. CONDITIONS WERE WET BUT IT WAS NOT RAINING HARD AT THE TIME. HAD ACC AND OTHER SAFETY FEATURES ON. WAS PASSING A SEMI (THAT WAS GOING ABOUT 70-71 MPH) AT ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN A CAR CAME UP BEHIND ME GOING MUCH FASTER THAN ME. I ACCELERATED TO MOVE IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THE SMALL YELLOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS STEADILY LOSING SPEED. I MANEUVERED OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER GOING ABOUT 50. HAD TO KEEP THE ENGINE REVVED AT 3000 RPM AND STILL WAS STEADILY LOSING SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON THE SHOULDER. EVENTUALLY PULLED OFF AT THE FIRST EXIT AFTER ABOUT 2 MILES ON THE SHOULDER AND WAS GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AT THE TIME. TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND STARTED IT UP. IT DROVE FINE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED OFF. I HAD MY WIFE AND TWO DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR. WE EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON A BUSY TWO-LANE INTERSTATE WITH MANY SEMIS. DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO CODES TO CHECK FROM THE CEL AND THAT ALL HOSES, ETC ARE CONNECTED AND THAT THE CAR IS FINE. IT WASN'T FINE WHEN IT LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. I SUSPECT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL PUMP.

MY BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T W/ AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES. IT SHIFTS VERY ROUGHLY SOMETIMES, I NOTICE THE PROBLEM MOST WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, HOWEVER IT STILL HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN ENGINE IS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES. I UNDERSTAND THAT ITS A FIRST YEAR PRODUCTION VEHICLE AND A NEWLY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION BUT HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH UNDER 700.00 MILES IS EXCUSABLE. THE PROBLEM DID NOT SUDDENLY START, I NOTICED THE PROBLEM SOON AFTER DRIVING OFF THE DEALER LOT FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND LET ME BE CLEAR, I UNDERSTAND WHAT "BREAK IN PERIODS" ARE FOR CARS AND I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE AGGRESSIVELY AT ALL YET, THE VERY ROUGH SHIFTS HAPPEN AT JUST NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING.

FRONT DRIVER SIDE RIM HAS A CHIP. REAR PASSENGER DOOR MISS ALIGNED REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR RUBBER IS COMING OFF REAR DRIVER PANEL HAS PAINT DEFECTS

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2018, I WAS TRAVELING ON U.S. HIGHWAY 19 AND A VEHICLE TURNED OFF ABOUT A HALF MILE AHEAD OF ME WHILE I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE HAD COMPLETELY CLEARED THE ROAD AND MY CAR SLAMMED ON BRAKES CAUSING EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE TO BE THROWN INTO THE FLOORBOARD. HAD THERE BEEN A CAR BEHIND ME, THE CAR WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED MY VEHICLE. THERE CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE WHERE THE SENSOR RECOGNIZES SOMETHING IN THE ROAD THAT IS NOT THERE OR A VEHICLE THAT HAS ALREADY CLEARED THE ROAD AND SLAMS ON BRAKES. THIS CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IS DAMAGING ON THE BRAKES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THIS SYSTEM ENGAGED BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL SLAM ON BRAKES CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO REAR-END ME.

I HAD AN EVENT WITH MY TURBO HOSE BEING LOOSE, DEALER TECH SAID MUST HAVE BEEN LOOSE COMING FROM THE FACTORY. HERE IS THE THREAD. MY SITUATION IS ILLUSTRATED WITH MY HANDLE, "MIKIWOLF". BASICALLY, LOST POWER IN MY VEHICLE AFTER 1850 MILES AND HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AT FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS BAD FUEL AND QUOTED ME $800 TO CLEAN THE FUEL TANK. TECH KEPT USING "ETHANOL" AND "WATER" INTERCHANGEABLY WHICH CONFUSED ME. A DAY LATER I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TECH SAID IT WAS BAD GAS WITH JUST 5% ETHANOL, FUEL WAS TOO RICH CREATING THE PROBLEM FOR ME. EVEN AFTER I EXPRESSED THAT ETHANOL IS SIMPLY AN ADDITIVE, IT MEANT LITTLE TO THIS 20-SOMETHING KID. LONG STORY SHORT, AFTER I ASKED HIM TO TEST FOR WATER, HE WOUND UP DOING A VISUAL INSPECTION AND FOUND THE TURBO INLET PIPE WAS LOOSE, TIGHTENED IT, AND DID A TEST DRIVE - PROBLEM FIXED. THE TECH WENT ON TO SAY THAT HIS INTERNAL FORUM SHOWS THIS SITUATION HAPPENING MORE AND MORE WITH ACCORDS. HE THINKS THEY ARE COMING FROM THE FACTORY TOO LOOSE AND GOING FORWARD HE KNOWS WHAT TO LOOK FOR NOW. THE DEALERSHIP DID THE RIGHT THING TO WORK WITH ME AND RECONCILE THEIR FINDINGS WITH ME. PROBLEM IS, NOT EVERYONE IS AS TECHNICAL AS I AM AND OVERALL HONDA SEEMS TO HAVE A BUILD ISSUE TO RESOLVE AND BROADLY INVESTIGATE.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH ACC (ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL) ENABLED AND LKAS (LANE KEEP ASSIST) ENABLED AND PASSING A CAR AND ANOTHER TIME AN 18 WHEEL TRUCK, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND ABRUPTLY BRAKED TO SLOW DOWN 5 MPH. THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT AND NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE CARS WERE BEHIND ME AND THEY ALL HAD TO REACT TO SLOW DOWN. T

PURCHASED ACCORD 8/25/2018, 103 MILES ON CAR AT TIME OF PURCHASE. DRIVING THAT SAME NIGHT AST AROUND 30MPH ON RESIDENTIAL 2 LANE ROAD. CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON ITS OWN. COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM ERROR CAME ON DASHBOARD. TOOK TO DEALER 8/27/2018. DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM AND TOLD US EVERYTHING OKAY. SEVEN DAYS LATER CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IDENTICAL TO 1ST INCIDENT. CMS ERROR CAME ON AGAIN IN ADDITION TO TOTAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE MOTHER BOARD AND RESET THE CMS AS WELL. 9/16/2018 - TRAVELING ON 4 LANE HWY AT 50 MPH. CAR ACTIVATED BRAKES AGAIN AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS INCIDENT ALMOST RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION. DRIVER BEHIND WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AND AVOID HITTING US. EACH INCIDENT THERE WAS NO DRIVERS AHEAD OF ME, NO ANIMALS/ITEMS CROSSING PATH. COMPLETELY RANDOM AND CANNOT WILLING REPLICATE. 9/18/2018 DEALER IS NOW COMING TO PICK THE CAR UP AND WORK WITH HONDA ENGINEERS TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. THIS A A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT WILL AT SOME POINT CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO OPERATOR AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. HONDA MUST RECALL THIS FEATURE IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE IOWA ATTY GENERAL OFFICE TO REPORT ISSUE.

REVERSE CAMERA QUIT WORKING AND AUTO MATIC BREAKING BROS OUT ALPHA KNOWN WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL

WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE TRAFFIC SIGN IN THE DASHBOARD IN THE CAR SHOWED THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 100MPH WHEN IN FACT THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 25MPH AS I WAS AT A 4-WAY INTERSECTION .

1. CAR MULTIMEDIA UNIT (WITH A TOUCH-SCREEN) RANDOMLY FREEZES AND RESTARTS ITSELF. IT HAPPENED TO ME 9 TIMES ALREADY SINCE I BOUGHT A CAR IN JUNE 2018. IF YOU USE NAVIGATION SYSTEM OR NEED SCREEN FOR OTHER ACTIVITIES WHILE YOU DRIVING - YOU ARE IN TROUBLE, BECAUSE YOU WILL LOSE ALL THE CONTENT YOU HAD ON THE SCREEN BEFORE THE RESTART AND IT WILL DISTRACT YOU FROM THE DRIVING. AFTER RESTART SYSTEM IS VERY SLOW AND IT FORCES YOU TO ACCEPT LEGAL DECLAIMER WHILE YOU DRIVING! TWO TIMES IT JUST FROZE WITHOUT RESTART AND I HAD TO STOP THE CAR, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN, TO REMOVE THE PROBLEM. VERY ANNOYING AND ALSO NOT SAFE BECAUSE IT DISTRACTS YOU. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS BACKING UP USING REAR VIEW CAMERA, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY, MAINLY WHEN I'M DRIVING. IT HAPPENS WHEN DEVICES ARE ATTACHED TO THE MULTIMEDIA UNIT AND WITHOUT ANY DEVICES BEING ATTACHED OR USED. IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND DAY TIME AND I DOUBT IT IS RELATED TO OVERHEATING. IT CAN HAPPEN DURING LONG DRIVE AS WELL AS 5-10 MINUTES AFTER THE ENGINE START. NO VISIBLE PATTERN HERE. OCEAN HONDA OF BURLINGAME DEALERSHIP IN BAY AREA IS NOT HELPFUL AND TOTALLY NOT PROFESSIONAL. BEEN THERE TWICE, NO LUCK. THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE PROPERLY ALWAYS TRYING TO SEARCH FOR FAULT IN MY ACTIONS OR BLAME COMPATIBLE DEVICES ATTACHED TO CIGARETTE POWER SLOT. AMERICAN HONDA ADVISED ME TO VIDEO RECORD THIS ACTIVITY WHILE I'M DRIVING !!!! STILL NO RESOLUTION. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN

COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE AT RANDOM TIMES EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND WOULD SLAM ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING SLOWLY AT AROUND 3 MILES PER HOURS IN A DRIVEWAY.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THIS CARS COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM HAS APPLIED THE BRAKES WITHOUT ANY REASON AND THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE PUBLIC AT LARGE AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION FROM HONDA. I'VE SEEN SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2017 AND 2018 CRV DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING.

I HAVE GOTTEN THE WARNING ON MY DASH STATING "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE DEALER" SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK SINCE PUTTING ABOUT 1200 MILES ON THE CAR (FEB 2018). SINCE SEEING THIS WARNING MY CAR WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES AT RANDOM (DURING HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING) AS IF IT DETECTED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BUT THERE WAS NO VEHICLE PRESENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE GOTTEN NO SOLUTION. I HAVE ALSO CALLED HONDA NORTH AMERICA AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND STILL HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE. THIS ISSUE COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVEN SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN REAR-ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS.

THE CAR RANDOMLY SLAMS ON BRAKES CAUSED BY THE HONDA SENSING COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS

AIRBAG SYSTEM NOT CONSISTENTLY ACTIVATED WITH SMALL ADULTS (5'4", 110 LB. AND 5'8", 115 LB.) PASSENGERS. HAVE FOLLOWED ALL TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS, I.E. NOTHING OBSTRUCTING SEAT, PASSENGER SITTING FULLY UPRIGHT, ETC. DEALERSHIP AND AMERICAN HONDA STATE IT IS FUNCTIONING AS ENGINEERED EVEN THOUGH OWNER'S MANUAL STATES PLAINLY THAT IT SHOULD FUNCTION AT > 65 LBS AND ADULTS SHOULD NOT RIDE IN THE SEAT IF THIS OCCURS. OCCURS INCONSISTENTLY WHILE IN MOTION AND PARKED.

THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON ERRONEOUSLY..WHILE DRIVING, LIGHT CAME ON. RAN THE RECALIBRATE FUNCTION FROM THE SYSTEM SCREEN - THIS TAKES ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES - CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE AND THEY'RE OK... 3435 PSI...

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULDN'T WORK WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN ON HIGHWAY. PULLED OVER, WENT TO SERVICE STATION, THEY HAD ME TURN CAR OFF AND CHECKED SOME FUSES. THEN WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ABOUT THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL, BRAKING AND VARIOUS SAFETY FEATURES. THIS MORNING WHEN I STARTED CAR AND BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY THE WIPERS STARTED WORKING BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER THIS MORNING.

ON A HOT DAY WHILE SITTING STATIONARY IN MY CAR WITH AC RUNNING, I HEARD A 'POP' WITH A FIZZLE SOUND THEN SMOKE BEGAN TO RISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE DASH WHERE IT MEETS THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING [PUSH TO START], AND ALL LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE ALL SENSORS BEGAN TO EMIT ERROR MESSAGES. I TURNED OFF AND EXITED VEHICLE, POPPED THE HOOD AND SMOKE WAS ALSO COMING UP FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2018, AND AT TIME OF INCIDENT HAD A LITTLE 6000 MILES. AFTER LETTING CAR SIT FOR A FEW HOURS IT STARTED UP, WITH ERROR MESSAGES ACROSS THE DISPLAY..I.E. TPMS, CHECK ENGINE, LKAS,ETC. I THEN HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NEAREST HONDA DEALER, AND THE SERVICE PEOPLE WERE UNSURE WHY A MODULE IN THE DASH BURNT OUT; SO THEY CONTACTED HONDA CORP. LONG STORY SHORT THEY PLACED BLAME THAT A CHARGER FOUND IN THE BOTTOM OF MY GLOVE BOX CAUSED IT, WHICH WAS NEVER USED IN MY CAR. TO THIS DAY NO ONE CAN ANSWER ME WHY A SPONTANEOUS FIRE STARTED IN MY CAR WHILE SITTING STILL WITH AC RUNNING, BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX MY CAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE IF THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. PHOTOS SHOW POSSIBLE LEAKAGE ON THE WIRES, BUT NO ON WANTS TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM AT HAND.

FUEL TANK COVER DID NOT OPEN . VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

TWO COMPUTER SCREEN ISSUES: COMPUTER SCREEN WOULD LIST SEVERAL WARNINGS (BRAKE SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE ,BLIND SPOT INDICATOR ,LIGHTS ALL SHOWN TO BE A PROBLEM. TRUNK & TURN SIGNALS, IPHONE CONNECTION WERE INOPERABLE.CAR WAS STATIONARY.

ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS SEEN A SHADOW ON THE GROUND AND SLAMMED ON BRAKES THEN RELEASING FOR NO REASON. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME ON EACH OCCASION. I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS STOPPING ON A YELLOW LIGHT ON THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT IT DOESN'T DO THAT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO DISABLE IT BUT WAS TOLD HE CAN'T DO THAT WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THIS IS AN ADDED FEATURE.

COLLISION MITIGATION BREAKING SYSTEM FAILS DURING OPERATION OF ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER VERIFY IF A COLLISION IS GOING TO HAPPEN, AND CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO COLLIDE WITH A FORWARD VEHICLE.

2018 HONDA ACCORD EXL. 1565 MILES ON ODOMETER. WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND 89F. I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH ACC AND LKAS ACTIVATED BUT BEING CLOSELY MONITORED AS THIS FEATURE IS NEW TO ME. AS THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN AHEAD THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAYED "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER" ERROR MESSAGE. I HAD TO QUICKLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING DEALERSHIP TO SEEK OUT A SOLUTION. VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS AS A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO PREVENT FRONT COLLISIONS ALMOST CAUSED ONE!

TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN, BLINKERS AND WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK, ALL ON BOARD SENSORS (LANE DEPARTURE, BACKUP DETECTION, ETC.) WOULD NOT OPERATE. SEVERAL ERROR WARNINGS PRESENTED ON DASH IN REGARDS TO SAFETY SENSORS NOT WORKING. HAD TO STOP AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY RESET THE CAR COMPUTER. SAFETY ISSUE W/WIPERS AND BLINKERS NOT WORKING.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN CHARLESTON, SC, I MADE A TRIP TO ATLANTA. DURING THE ROUND TRIP I NOTICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AFTER MAKING A STOP, SUCH AS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. AFTER 4 OR 5 SECONDS THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AT SUCH A RATE THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I KNEW THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. IN FACT, I TOLD MY WIFE THAT SHE SHOULD NEVER DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THIS PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM ATLANTA I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT RICK HENDRICKS'S HONDA IN CHARLESTON, SC WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TESTED THE CAR AND THAT THE PROBLEM I HAD WAS INHERENT TO THIS ACCORD AND I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR IN ECON MODE AND THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAPPEN IF ECON MODE WAS 'OFF'. SO, I TURNED ECON MODE 'OFF' AND BEGAN DRIVING THE CAR OFF THE DEALER LOT AND WHEN I STOPPED AT THE FIRST STOP SIGN AND THEN BEGAN PROCEEDING, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW CAR AND HAVE TO LIVE WITH A DEFECT THAT THE DEALER SAYS 'IT IS JUST THE WAY YOUR 2018 HONDA ACCORD WORKS'. I AM DRIVING AN AUTOMOBILE THAT POTENTIALLY MIGHT CAUSE INJURY TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS IN MY CAR, AND OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL.

THE FIRST NIGHT I TOOK OWNERSHIP OF CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKED AND THE CAR LOST POWER, AND BECAME A BRICK. HAD TO TURN CAR THE OFF, START IT, AND BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. CAR SHOWED 3 MISFIRE CODES ON MY SCANNER P0301, P0304, P0300. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE FIRST TIME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND IT SHOWS NOTHING HAPPENED. RELUCTANT TO TAKE THE CAR I WAS, BUT LIA BREWSTER HONDA WAS VERY FORCEFUL AND TOOK THE LOANER BACK. NOT EVEN TWO NIGHTS LATER THE CAR DID IT TWICE IN ONE DRIVE CYCLE. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS IN THE RAIN. LIA BREWSTER HONDA HAS MY CAR NOW FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I AM UPSET THAT THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS SAFE, I HAVE A 9 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER THAT IS THE WORLD TO ME. I EXPLAINED THIS AND STILL WAS NOT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. MY CAR IS STILL THERE, AND NO SIGN OF BEING FIXED. ONLY PAID ONE PAYMENT ON THE CAR. THEY TOOK MY CAR DUE TO THE FACT I VIDEO TAPED THIS HAPPENING. I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY, HOPE THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT BECOMES A TREND WITH 2018 HONDA 2.0T. PEOPLE'S SAFETY IS A NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. VERY UPSET I WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, AND WAS PUTS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION.

THE REAR BODY OF THE CAR STARTS TO RUST. IT'S JUST PURCHASED ABOUT 2 WEEKS. THE RUST DOTS ARE ALMOST EVERYWHERE ON THE REAR BODY. THEY APPEAR ON CEILING, ON DOORS, AND THE COVER OF TRUCK.

WIFE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE IN THE LEFT HAND LANE ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN A YELLOW LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH AND CAR LOST ENGINE POWER. WIFE IS UNSURE WHICH YELLOW LIGHT CAME ON DUE IT HAPPENING SO FAST. SHE COASTED ACROSS THREE LANES AND MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THERE IS 700 MILES ON THE CAR. DEALER SAID IT MAY HAVE BEEN ROAD DEBRIS THAT CAUSED COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE CAR BUT NOTHING WAS RECORDED IN THE EDR UNIT. VERY UNSAFE.

MY CAR `COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM` HAS GONE OUT SEVERAL TIMES. MY CAR HAS RATTLING SOUND FROM THE SOUND SYSTEM IN COLD DAYS. MY CAR ALSO HAS RATTLING SOUND WHEN DRIVING ON ROAD BUMPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30-40 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE LANE ASSIST SYSTEM AND LANE MITIGATION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN THE MIDDLE OF COMPLETING THE TURN, THE LANE MITIGATION FEATURE ACTIVATED AND STEERED THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A BOULDER AND FRACTURED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUSPENSION, WHICH DAMAGED THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CORAL SPRINGS AUTO MALL (9300 W ATLANTIC BLVD, CORAL SPRINGS, FL 33071, (954) 369-1016) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN SEVERAL OF THE SAFETY FEATURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

*****ASTERISKS ARE USED IN CASE YOUR SYSTEM DOES NOT SUPPORT PARAGRAPH SEPARATION. *****WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH LKAS ON AND LANE MARKERS REGISTERED (PER THE READOUT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL), THE VEHICLE WILL ATTEMPT TO STEER TOWARD THE VERY EDGE OF THE LANE NEAR A LARGE VEHICLE (PICKUP TRUCK, SEMI, ETC). IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WHILE ALLOWING THE SYSTEM TO CONTROL THE STEERING, THE VEHICLE WILL MAINTAIN THIS POSITION. *****WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE HONDA SENSING SUITE ON, THE VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY REGISTER TAR PATCHES AND SKID MARKS AS LANE MARKERS AND ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION WILL ATTEMPT TO STEER AWAY FROM THE MARKING WHICH MEANS THE VEHICLE MAY OR MAY NOT ATTEMPT TO LEAVE ITS CURRENT LANE. *****THE ABOVE ARE REPRODUCED DAILY, ONE OF WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BY ATTEMPTING TO STEER INTO (AND ALMOST REACHING BEFORE I COULD REACT) THE PICKUP TRUCK IN THE NEXT LANE. *****INCIDENT OCCURRED ONE TIME: DURING HEAVY BRAKING ON THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID A READ-END COLLISION, THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE ITS LANE. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 6500 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF WRITING AND WAS PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2018.

SIMILAR TO NHTSB COMPLAINT ID# 11111897, VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE IN MOTION ON 7/21/208 ON HIGHWAY IN CONGESTION WHILE RAINING. IT HAS SINCE BEEN TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE CURRENTLY UNDERGOING REPAIR WORK. I WAS TOLD FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. I HOPE THIS SOLVES THE ISSUE AND DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AS I WAS PUT IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT AFTERNOON.

THE CHECK TPMS SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON. TIRE PRESSURE IS FINE.
