2020 Honda Accord complaints

Multiple times while driving the emergency braking has engaged briefly. At first I thought it was detecting something in the road or a vehicle to the side of my car. That is not the case. It will apply this brake no matter what is in front of or around me. I have not noticed it doing it on secondary roads but it does it on highways and the interstate. This has created an unsafe situation many times.

Five times over two years, the collision mitigation system has activated while the car was in motion but no object was in front of the car. Three minor activations, meaning a brief yellow glow on the dash, have occurred. Two more significant activations have also occurred with a yellow rectangle on the dash with the word BRAKE visible. The most serious activation was at highway speeds. I was concerned that the car was going to automatically brake on the highway. I have returned this two year old car to the dealership multiple times for evaluation and have found little motivation on the part of the dealership to deal with this problem and other more minor problems the car is demonstrating. I consider the above complaint to be potentially life-threatening. I will not drive in this car unless the collision mitigation is turned off.

With seemingly no impediments ahead of it our 2020 Honda Accord will suddenly brake forcefully when changing lanes or exiting the freeway. it is not constant, but it is scary since there is no reason to brake at this point. this could cause us to be rear-ended the thing this system is supposed to keep us from doing. the dealer says unless it occurs when they drive it, unless, unless. The 'advisor' said he had heard of a few examples. they are all over the internet. What is being done to address this issue? oh, and he mentioned that we could always turn it off. we bought this car because being in our sixties and reflexes not necessarily being what they once were we wanted to avoid hitting someone from behind. this has happened on dozens of occasions. the listed date was the last.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated while entering a parking lot at 10 MPH, he started to hear an abnormal noise. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact continued driving the vehicle but shortly after the drive shaft fractured. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the driveshaft to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 39,000.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated the passenger’s side front windshield was distorted and replaced by dealer. The replacement windshield is worse than the original. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the windshield needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted but, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 3,731. On January of 2021 I called again and was told that my case had been closed. I asked that the case be reopened. On February 9, 2022, dealer said that Honda refuses to replace the windshield and that I have no recourse.

While early driving in early December 2021 in my almost new car (7000+ miles) most all the lighted problems that could occur with an old vehicle lit up like a Christmas tree on the dashboard. Most of the items may or may not have actually quit working but their problem lights stayed on. Still it is no fun driving without cruise when your wife has breast cancer and you have have to drive 3 hours each way to Gainesville, Florida for treatment. I assume all the warning lights functions still worked, but it is hard to tell if things like the brakes were pr were not working when driving as they seemed to work fine. So I soon afterwards took the car into the dealer on December 11, 2021 in Leesburg, Florida. But by this time all the dash lights remained off as they are supposed to. So all they did was change the oil and did non-compliance recall BMC software update 20-039 and BGCM software update. The reason I brought the car in was not specified on my invoice. However, The dealer did say that my transponder for the EZ highway system was blocking the camera on the mirror. I believed them. Since then, however, today all the cash lights again said they were crashing again just before a 2-hour drive to the Gainesville cancer hospital. Upon return the lights went back to normal. I don't believe Honda dealers know what the problem is or why it continues in many millions of similar Hondas. My research on the Internet found at different complaints about said dashboard lights crashing causi

The brake system failed. I received an error message indicating "electric parking brake system problem. Parking break not available. See your dealer". All of the ABS messages, cruise control, etc. appear and say, "see your dealer". My safety was put at risk because the break automatically starts without me even pushing the break. This happens without any given notice and appears before the message occurs. This happens while vehicles are behind me on main roads and also happens while on the highway going a high rate of speed (speed limit). There is nothing that can be done to stop it manually. The car stops on its own. No, I will be scheduling a dealer appointment, since the issues continues to occur. No, the message appears after the issue starts.

My husband had an collision on the November 11 2020 at 9 pm with deer hit. All the airbag deploy accept the Driver airbag didn't deploy even the car was total loss. My husband hit the chin on the steering and he is complaining that his jaw is hurting.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver while the electric power steering and steering assist reduced errors illuminated and the power steering warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired, and the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 19,000. The VIN was not available.

REAR TIRE BRAKES STARTED MAKING A SCREECHING NOISE DAYS AFTER TAKING THE BRAND NEW CAR OUT OF THE LOT. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP. THEY "INSPECTED" THE CAR AND CALLED ME BACK THAT THE CAR IS FINE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO MAKE THE SCREECHING NOISE AND IT FEELS UNSAFE. THE CAR WAS NEW OFF THE LOT AND SHOULD NOT BE MAKING NOISES. I AM LOST AS TO WHAT ELSE TO DO.

The contact owned a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the airbags deployed without incident and without warning. Due to the shock of the failure, the contact also stated that she then rear-ended an unknown obstacle on the road. Due to the failure, the contact stated that she was disoriented as a fellow motorist called authorities to the scene. The contact was arrested at the scene of the failure for reckless driving. After the contact’s release from jail, she sought medical treatment for a shattered sternum, a broken right thumb, and a hematoma on her left leg. The vehicle was towed from the scene as it was deemed a total loss. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

On August 7th, I was driving on I 75 South at highway speed ( 75 -70) and I felt the steering wheel begin to move from side to side. After approximately 5 mins of my steering wheel moving from side to side but very subtle, then my car veered to the left lane and then to the right lane. At this point, I had no control of my car. My car was swerving from one lane to the next. I attempted to press the brake to gain control of my car and that made it worse. I gently took my feet off the gas and I felt that I had some control of my car after a few seconds. I went to the right lane and pulled over to the media. I checked my tires and they look fine. I took my car to Honda and they couldn't find anything wrong with my car. I want to know what's wrong with my car because I don't feel safe in this car. I could have killed myself or someone else.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the parking brake light was illuminated. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that liquid from the cup holder might have gotten into the parking brake and caused the sensor light to illuminate. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000. The VIN was unavailable.

While travelling at highway speeds, rainy weather, the engine completely shut down. Engine light illuminated. Did not want to pull over on shoulder so glided to exit ramp. Turned vehicle off and then restarted with no issues. Drove approximately 150 miles to nearest Honda dealer. They inspected and said 'no diagnostic code' was registered. I took to my dealer and they tried to recreate but could not. They also found no codes. Had my family in car when full power loss. Very dangerous situation. I immediately activated the flashers. Drove in the right lane of interstate highway rest of way to dealer and home.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 70 mph while attempting to pass another vehicle, the check engine warning light was illuminated and the vehicle went into limp mode. The contact was able to exit the highway and park safely. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer where it was diagnosed with a misfire on cylinders 1 and 4. The local dealer reset the code. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,762.

Both my wife and I have multiple dates and time experienced issues of CMBS Collision Mitigation Braking System, we would be driving with no traffic near us or with in hundreds of feet in front of us that the system would flash "brake" on the dash and then start slowing the vehicle down. Also the Front and rear brakes pads and rotor have been replaced under 6000 miles on the vehicle

Just before March 2, 2021 shortly after purchasing this new vehicle I discovered a safety hazard in which the passenger window will not roll down, I brought it to Hoehn Honda in Carlsbad on March 2 and they oiled the window to make it work. I had concerns that they did not replace the motor mechanisms and it would fail again which it has. Today May 17 2021 I was not feeling ill at work and went to sit in my car to roll down the windows to get a breeze and again the passenger front seat window is stuck. One or two times it seemed like it didn’t work but on the next try it did after the repair. now it’s frozen again. Having non-operational windows is a safety hazard and a passenger hazard, and a law enforcement hazard if pulled over and the window will not roll down. It is stuck in the up position. The dealership has no interest it’s a safety hazard and requires i drive it in and will not provide me a loaner car.

THE VEHICLES BRAKING SYSTEM CAUSES WARPED ROTERS AT VERY LOW MILEAGE. USING THESE SYSTEMS IN COMBINATION WITH THE WARPED ROTERS CAUSES VEHICLE SHAKING, DRIVER DISTRACTION, AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST SET OF ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY WHICH TEMPORARILY FIXED THE ISSUE. HOWEVER ISSUES RELATED TO THESE SYSTEMS INCUR EXCESSIVE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES RESULTING IN A RESURFACING OF THE PROBLEM AFTER A SHORT TIME. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SAFETY ISSUE OR REPAIR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A THUMPING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO IMPERIAL VALLEY HONDA (664 THOMAS LANE, EL CENTRO, CA 92243) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR WHEELS COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED WHILE PERFORMING AN ALIGNMENT ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HE SHOULD PURCHASE A CAMBER ADJUSTER KIT TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THERE WOULD BE NO ASSISTANCE PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 7 MILES ON IT. MY HUSBAND INSTANTLY KEPT SAYING WHY IS YOUR CAR SHAKING WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES? I DIDN'T NOTICE BEFORE BUT WAS, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR STOPPING FROM A SPEED OF 50MPH OR MORE. BY THE TIME OF MY FIRST SERVICE IT WAS INCREASINGLY WORSE. I HAD THEM CHECK IT BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. IT GOT WORSE! I WENT BACK AGAIN & EXPLAINED IF IT WAS FINE WE HAVE A PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED IT AGAIN, SAID THERE MUST BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH ROTORS. THEY MACHINED THEM & PUT NEW PADS. THE NEXT MORNING BACKING OUT OF CAR PORT- SCRUBBING METAL SOUND AND SQUEAL. THESE BRAKES ARE FAULTY AND I CAN NO LONGER TRUST THAT HONDA CARES. I'M TRADING MY CAR FOR A MAXIMA IN SEPTEMBER. I HAVE OWNED 7 HONDA'S. THIS WAS MY FIRST BRAND NE ONE. NOT GOOD

WITH ONLY 2600 MILES ON THE CAR, I WENT IN FOR A INSPECTION AT HONDA AND THE REAR BRAKES WERE ALREADY FADING TO THE POINT THAT I MIGHT NEED TO REPLACE THEM WITHIN 2K MORE MILES. FROM WHAT I READ, THE STABILIZING FEATURE THAT HONDA IMPLEMENTED IS A BIT TOO AGGRESSIVE AND BECAUSE OF THAT THE REAR BRAKES ARE WEARING OUT MUCH FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD.

THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ~40MPH ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY UNDER CLEAR WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO AVOID ME BUT I DID RECEIVE A FEW HONKS AND A COUPLE OF FINGER SALUTES. I IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MY DEALERSHIP AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM - 4 HOURS AND COUNTING.

I LEASED MY VEHICLE A YEAR AGO, I HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY OLD CAR SO I WANTED A BRAND NEW CAR THAT WAS RELIABLE AND SAFE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. IN THE FIRST MONTHS THE CAR WAS FINE BUT AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTHS THE CAR WOULD SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST PIPES RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT FOR MAINTENANCE AS THE CAR SYSTEM DIRECTED BUT THE REPAIR SHOP NEVER SAID THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. A MONTH OR SO PAST AND ONE DAY I GOT IN THE CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WERE IN. I WAS SO FREAKED OUT BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW CAR AND NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOULD OF BEEN ON. I TOOK IT TO HONDA REPAIR SERVICES AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT A MOUSE WENT IN MY ENGINE AND CHEWED SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRES. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS 1700 WHICH IS EXTREMELY OUTRAGEOUS PRICES TO ME. ANYWAY I WAS AT HOSPITAL AT WORK AND I GOT THE CALL FROM THE MECHANIC SAYING I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE IT WASN'T A FACTORY DEFAULT. SO I WENT HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCHING AND I FOUND OUT HONDA HAD BEEN USING SOYBEAN IT PEANUT BUTTER OIL TO LUBE THE WIRING, AND THAT'S WHAT ATTRACTS RODENTS TO YOUR ENGINE. IT ALSO STARTED THAT HONDA WIRE PROTECTION TAPE WAS OUT OF STOCK BECAUSE SOME MANY CUSTOMERS HAD THERE CAR WIRES EATEN BY RODENTS. SO I WAS SO PISSED OFF THAT I CALLED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, WHY WOULD HONDA PUT PARTS OR USE OILS IN THE CAR ENGINE THAT ATTRACTS RODENTS. THIS TO ME IS, UNFAIR TO HONEST HARD WO

CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING PROPERLY WITH THE SPEED AND CAR BRAKE BY HIMSELF ITS LIKE DETECT SOMETHING BUT IS NOTHING IN FRONT

8/31/2020 MY 2020 HONDA ACCORD POWER STEERING IS TAKING CONTROL OF POWER STEERING. I HAD A CRASH AT 400HAMPTON ROAD -DALLAS TEXAS. MY ( POWER STEERING) PULLED TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CURB, I HAD TO YANK THE CAR BACK TO THE LEFT BUT THE CAR ALREADY COLLIDED WITH THE LEFT CURB, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE SIDE OF CAR AND MY RIGHT HAND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE TRUNK OPENED INADVERTENTLY. THERE WERE SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAN FRANCISCO HONDA (1595 VAN NESS AVE, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94109, (415) 687-0174) AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V771000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION, VISIBILITY/WIPER, VISIBILITY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING) HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,000.

2020 HONDA ACCORD - NOT TRACKING STRAIGHT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT RECREATE. ISSUE HAPPENS EVERYTIME GOING 50+MPH FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME WHEN CAR IS WARMED UP (30-45+ MINUTES ON HIGHWAY. DID NOT INITIALLY HAPPEN DURING RESIDENTIAL COMMUTES, BUT IS NOW STARTING TO.) WHEEL STICKS TO ONE SIDE WHEN TURNING SLIGHTLY TO EITHER SIDE AND THEN RELEASES CAUSING OVERCORRECTING. WHEEL IS LOOSE AT CENTER AND YOU CONTINUOUSLY HAVE TO ADJUST LEFT TO RIGHT TO LEFT TO STAY STRAIGHT. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THERE IS NO RESISTANCE IN A CERTAIN SECTION OF THE WHEEL. SEVERELY CONCERNING. FEELS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND DEALERSHIP WON'T LISTEN. SEEMS LIKE SAME ISSUE FROM 2014 RECALL. PLEASE RECALL THIS ISSUE - I JUST BOUGHT A NEW CAR AND IT'S DOING THIS; SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY IN A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ME BEING THE FIRST OWNER - BOUGHT NEW IN NOVEMBER 2019 AT 6MILES. I'VE OWNED 3 OTHER HONDA'S AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. I FEEL LIKE HONDA IS JUST TRYING TO RUN MY WARRANTY OUT - I WILL FIGHT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF AS I FEEL LIKE I COULD CRASH AT ANY TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE WHILE MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIA HONDA ENFIELD (20 PALOMBA DR, ENFIELD, CT 06082) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE REAR ROTORS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED.

THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,835.

LAST YEAR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR I CAME OUT THE STORE TO DISCOVER THE GAS TANK DOOR OPEN AND THE CAR WAS LOCKED. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE INCIDENT IT WAS BRUSHED OFF. THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN CAPTURE CAMERA SHOWED THAT THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 90 WHEN I WAS IN A 35 MILE ZONE, IT HAD CAPTURED THE LAST TWO NUMBERS A ROUTING SIGN INSTEAD OF THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN. I WOKE UP ONE MORNING TO FIND MY CAR WINDOWS DOWN, THE SUNROOF OPEN AND THE CAR WAS STILL LOCKED. THE KEYS WERE STORED IN A PLACE WHERE THEY WERE NOT TOUCHING ANYTHING, SO THERE WAS NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE WINDOWS TO BE DOWN AND THE SUNROOF OPEN. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENCE. I CALLED THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. ON MARCH 18, 2021, I DISCOVERED THAT THE GAS TANK DOOR WAS NOT LOCKING AT ALL.

WHEN TAPPING THE BREAKS THE HAS A SERGE OF ACCELERATION.... AFTER GOING OVER BUMPY ROAD OR POTHOLES THE CAR ALSO HAS A SERGE OF ACCELERATION.

MY CAR WAS AT THE MECHANIC'SHOP AROUND THE CORNER. IT'S AT HONDA OF SERRAMONTE IN COLMA OF DALY CITY. THE CAR WAS AT THE SHOP SINCE 01/28/2021. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2018-2021 HONDA ACCORD.

THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE WILL SEEM TO LACK RESPONSE AND THE CAR WILL DRIFT TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT ONLY TO HAVE CONTROL REGAINED VIA A NOTCHY LIGHT JOLT OF THE WHEEL. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN DESCRIBED BY 2018-2020 ACCORD OWNERS AS A NOTCH AND/OR FLAT SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEN ON SMOOTH STRAIGHT HIGHWAY ROADS. I CONSISTENTLY HAVE THIS OCCUR WHEN DRIVING FOR MORE THSN 5 OR TEN MINUTES ON ANY OPEN ROAD. DOES NOT SEEM TO NOTICEABLE IN LOCAL DRIVING. I DO NOTICE THIS WITHIN 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (WALDORF HONDA) AND THEY DID A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE BALANCE OF THE TIRES. THIS HAD NO EFFETC FOR THE PROBLEM AND I NOTICED IT HAPPENING AGAIN IMMEDIATELY UPON DRIVING ON AN PEN HIGHWAY AGAIN. I'VE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST 20 SUCH COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEB-SITE FROM 2018-2020 MODELS, I'M SURPRISED THAT NO SUCH BULLETIN OR RECALL IS DOCUMENTED TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THIS IS PRIMARILY A HIGHWAY ISSUE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH, BUT I EVEN FEEL THE NOTCHY STEERING ON SMOOTH SINGLE LANE COUNTRY ROADS THAT AT 40-50MPH. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFINITE CAR SFAETY ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR DRIFTS AND THE DRIVER FIGHTS TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. ESPECIALLY CONCERNING WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR SLICK CONDITIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO HIGH-SPEED SWERVING TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE ROAD. IN ALMO

HAD OIL CHANGE SERVICE MANAGER SAID TECH CHANGING OIL NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN OIL . MANAGER SAID YOU HAVE GAS IN YOUR OIL.

TURN OFF ENGINE, THEN RESTART" AM I DEALING WITH A COMPUTER OR A VEHICLE I CAN POTENTIALLY LOSE MY LIFE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG???

DRIVING ON I95 NEAR LUMBERTON NC AT 78MPH IN ECON MODE WITH CRUISE ON, WENT TO PASS VEHICLE AFTER CRUISE SLOWED ME DOWN, STEPPED ON GAS AND RESPONSE FELT DIFFERENT, REALIZED I WAS SLOWING DOWN WHILE STEPPING ON THE GAS. NOTICED CEL LIGHT AND CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. I THOUGHT CAR WAS DRIFTING BUT THE RPMS STILL SHOWED ENGINE ON. GOT TO SAFETY APRON AND REALIZED CAR WAS IN LIMP MODE. MANAGED TO GET TO EXIT RAMP. SITTING ON RAMP NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE, WHEN YOU TAPPED THE GAS PEDAL, WAS ROUGH BUT SEEMED TO IDLE OK. TOWED TO NEARBY DEALER. THEY SAID IT HAD A P0300 HISTORY CODE BUT NO CURRENT CODE. THEY CLEARED IT, TEST DROVE AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. CONTINUED BY TRIP TO VIRGINIA WITH NO PROBLEMS. CAR HAD 7251 MILES. NO PROBLEMS BEFORE THIS. PREVIOUS NIGHT (31ST) WE GASSED UP AND DROVE AN HOUR+ TO FLORENCE IN RAIN. STAYED THE NIGHT AND STARTED NEXT DAY. WE HAD DRIVEN ANOTHER HOUR+ WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

WITH THE ACC AND BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ON AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 2516 MILES ON IT. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE AT ALL TO DRIVE. WHAT IS BEING DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS KIND? IS THERE A FIX NOW!!

FOLLOWING A COLLISION, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE RESULTING IN OPERATOR DEATH

THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE POWER STEERING WILL LACK RESPONSE AND THE CAR WILL DRIFT ONLY TO HAVE CONTROL REGAINED VIA A NOTCHY LIGHT JOLT OF THE WHEEL. ANOTHER WAY IN WHICH 2018-2020 ACCORD CONSUMERS HAVE DESCRIBED IT AS A NOTCH AND/OR FLAT SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEN ON SMOOTH STRAIGHT HIGHWAY ROADS. AS OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE NOTED, I TYPICALLY ENCOUNTER THIS ONLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT I DO EVEN NOTICE THIS WITHIN 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (LEITH HONDA ABERDEEN) TO WHICH THEY STATED "CUSTOMER CONCERN NOT DUPLICATED AT THIS TIME. NO SERVICE BULLETINS AT THIS TIME OR SERVICE NEWS ON THIS CONCERN". THE DEALERSHIP "PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TEST NO DTC CODES STEER ANGLE AT ZERO DEGREES". THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. GIVEN THAT I'VE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST 20 SUCH COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEB-SITE FROM 2018-2020 MODELS, I'M SURPRISED THAT NO SUCH BULLETIN OR RECALL IS DOCUMENTED TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THIS IS PRIMARILY A HIGHWAY ISSUE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH, BUT I EVEN FEEL THE NOTCHY STEERING ON SMOOTH SINGLE LANE COUNTRY ROADS THAT AT 40-50MPH. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR DRIFTS AND THE DRIVER FIGHTS TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. ESPECIALLY CONCERNING WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR SLICK CONDITIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO HIGH-SPEED SWERVING.

THE FIRST WEEK I HAD THE CAR I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT IN NASHUA, NH AND WENT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. I PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF BUT INADVERTENTLY FORGOT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE PARKING SPACE WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH THE SLOPE GOING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO STAND UP TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL, KNOCKING ME OVER, CATCHING/TWISTING MY RIGHT LEG IN AND UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT AND THE DOOR (FRACTURING IT IN TWO PLACES REQUIRING ME TO BE WHEELCHAIR BOUND AND NON-WEIGHT BEARING FOR 8 WEEKS). AS I PULLED MY RIGHT LEG OUT, I WAS ON THE GROUND AND THE DRIVER-SIDE REAR TIRE RAN OVER MY LEFT LEG. FORTUNATELY A CURB AT THE END OF THE PARKING SPACE STOPPED THE CAR FROM ROLLING, BUT ALLOWED IT TO ROLL FAR ENOUGH FOR MY LEFT LEG TO NOT BE TRAPPED UNDER THE TIRE. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I MUST HAVE BEEN IN SHOCK AS I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND DROVE TO MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE ABOUT 10 MINUTES AWAY. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND MANY OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE A SAFETY MEASURE IN PLACE WHERE IF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS OPENED WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP SO IT WILL NOT RESULT IN THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE TO HAVE A SAFETY MECHANISM IN PLACE (LIKE NOT DEPLOYING AIRBAGS IF NO WEIGHT IN THE SEAT, OR TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME IF THEY ARE LEFT ON, ETC.) RESULTED IN THIS HAPPENING AND MY UNDERSTANDING FROM OTHER IS TH

WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED, AND NOT RUNNING, TRUNK LID UNLATCHES, AND OPENS, RANDOMLY AND UNCOMMANDED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS (4-5), OCCASIONS WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE.

2020 ACCORD 2.0T SPORT 10,600 MILES I WAS TRAVELING ACROSS THE STATE WITH PERIODS OF LIGHT AND HEAVY RAIN. ABOUT HALFWAY INTO MY ~280 MILE TRIP I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM THE LIGHT, MY CAR LOST POWER AND THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING, WITH NO OTHER WARNING MESSAGES. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED TO FIND NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WARNING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE LATE IN THE EVENING SO I CONTINUED TO THE DESTINATION. WITH APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES TO GO, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AROUND A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE AND WAS MET WITH PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, AS WELL AS MANY WARNING MESSAGES. TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR ENABLED ME TO DRIVE AGAIN, BUT THE WARNING MESSAGES REMAIN. BOTH TIMES THIS OCCURRED IT WAS RAINING. BOTH TIMES I LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MOVE TO A SAFE LOCATION.

I'VE NOTICED A VERY ANNOYING HUMMING SOUND WHILE DRIVING MY 2020 HONDA ACCORD SPORT 1.5T. IT WILL STOP WHEN APPROACHING A STOP OR WHEN OPENING THE FRONT WINDOWS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LOTS OF 2018-2020 HONDA OWNER'S ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND MENTIONED IT COULD BE THE ANC SYSTEM.

THE CAR RATTLES ON THE REAR WHERE THE EXHAUST END WHEN I TURN IT OFF. IT USED TO NOT DO THAT RATTLING BEFORE. THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN THE CAR IS COMING TO A STOP AND THEN CONTINUES WHEN IDLING. IT FEELS LIKE I AM SITTING AT A VIBRATING CHAIR. THE ENGINE WORKS VERY ROUGH WHEN IDLING.

FROM OCT 10 TO OCT 14, I PARKED MY CAR AT OFF AIRPORT PARKING LOT FOR 5DAYS. WHEN I CAME BACK, MY CAR DIDN'T START. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. I GOT THE INSPECTION REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THE REASON WHY MY CAR DIDN'T START IS DUE TO BAD GAS. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION, WHERE I PUMPED MY GAS LAST TIME BEFORE I FLEW OUT OF ATL, TO CHECK WITH THEM. THEY PROVIDED ME A COPY OF THE SYSTEM STATUS REPORT OF 10/9/20 SHOWING THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES. SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT #3 CYLINDER IS FULL OF WATER; THEY SAID THEY COULD GET A FUEL SAMPLE ONCE I AUTHORIZED THEM TO WORK ON THE FUEL TANK REMOVAL AND CLEANING. ONCE THEY PROCEEDED, THEY STATED THEY FOCUSED ON CLEANING THE SPARK PLUGS AND PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE WHICH LED THEM TO FIND OUT THERE IS INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. SO THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD STOP UNTIL MY INSURANCE COMPANY CHECKS THE CAR. THEY SAID THEY TOOK MULTIPLE FUEL SAMPLES AND DID NOT SEE WATER BUT THERE WAS WATER FILLED IN THE ENGINE CYLINDERS. THEY HAVE ASKED ME IF THE CAR WAS IN A FLOOD, BUT THERE WAS NO MASSIVE RAIN OR STORM WHICH FLOODED THE AREA. THEY EMPHASIZED THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTABLE REPAIR AS IT IS NOT A PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH SOUNDED QUESTIONING. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OIL AND FUEL TANK, THEN THE ONLY WAY THAT WATER CAN GET INTO THE ENGINE IS MANUALLY POURING LOTS OF WATER THROUGH AIR INTAKE, WHICH ALSO SOUNDS

A MESSAGE CAME OVER THE DASHBOARD "TPMS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, SEE DEALERSHIP". THERE WAS A TEXT MESSAGE THEN APPEARED ON THE MUSIC SCREEN. I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT LANE TOWARDS TRAFFIC AND I WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT AND HIT THE JERSEY BARRIER AND SPIN THE CAR AROUND. THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR HIT ME AND

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE LANE DEPARTURE FEATURE ACTIVATED, FORCING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE CENTER IN BETWEEN THE LANES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER AN OBJECT OR ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS NEARBY, THE FORWARD COLLISION AUTOMATIC BRAKING ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCGRATH HONDA (2020 N RANDALL RD, ELGIN, IL 60123) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND TEST DRIVEN HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK 5 ADDITIONAL TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR MORE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,200.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BRAKES CAME ON WHILE I STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. LUCKILY FOR ME THERE WHERE NO CARS BEHIND. I HAVE SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA SERVICE DEPART FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING. I JUST PURCHASED MY HONDA ACCORD 2020 VEHICLE A MONTH AGO.
