Electrical system, Jul 11, 2017
I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE THRU A HONDA DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS 4 HOUR DRIVE FROM MY RESIDENCE. I'VE HAD TO GET VEHICLE JUMPSTARTED ON 4 OCCASIONS AND HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO GET IT INSPECTED UNDER WARRANTY TERMS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ONLY REPLACED BATTERY TWICE YET HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT PROBLEM. DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ALSO HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAS ALSO BEEN MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HONDA FINANCE CORPORATION CASE MANAGER BY THE NAME OF KIA WHO HAS BEEN GIVING ME RUNAROUND ALONG WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP, UNABLE TO SOLVE VEHICLE DEFECT/SAFETY ISSUE. THEY NOW SUGGEST I TAKE VEHICLE TO ORIGINAL HONDA DEALER OF PURCHASE WHICH IS A 4 HOUR DRIVE AND HAVE THEM REMOVE AFTER MARKET ALARM THEY INSTALLED WHICH MIGHT SUPPOSEDLY BE CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. HOWEVER, IT IS SPECULATION AND DRIVING LONG DISTANCE IS A HARDSHIP FOR ME AND VERY UNFAIR. I FEEL LIKE LOCAL HONDA DEALER SHOULD FIX PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE CAR SAFEY ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. YOUR ASSISTANCE AND GUIDANCE IS VERY APPRECIATED.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROBLEM. (TPMS PROBLEM) ON A NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID SEDAN! AS AT 07/08/17. TPM PROBLEM. I BOUGHT MY NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID FOR ITS RELIABILITY. IN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS. TWO MICHILIN TIRES HAVE BLOWN OUT. BOTH FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE. THE REAR ONE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS INITIALLY GIVING ME LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS. AFTER A WEEK OF TAKING IT TO THE DELEARSHIP I BOUGHT IT TO LOOK AT IT AND REPAIR, IT BLEW OUT UNEXPECTEDLY ON 07/06/17. I ALWAYS REPLACE THOSE TIRE WITH MY OWN MONEY. THE DELEARSHIP TOLD ME THE TIRES DON'T COME WITH WARRANTY! WHAT? NEW TIRES FROM MICHILIN? INCREDIBLY UNBELIEVABLE RIGHT. I HAVE PERSONALLY CONTACTED MICHILIN TODAY 07/08/17 AND THEY SAID THEY'LL GIVE ME A CALL. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 07/08/17. THEY SAID THEY HAD REPAIRED AND TEST DROVE IT. IN LESS THAN 5 MILES OF DRIVING AVERAGE OF 45MPH, THE SYSTEM READ. "TPM PRONLEM". TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING PROBLEM. WITH THE WARNING SIGN OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE INSCRIBED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WITH SO MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT AND UNPREDICTABILITY THAT I WRITE THIS LETTER. NOT KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT WITH MY NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROBLEM. NOT EVEN COUNTING THE DAMAGES CAUSED: EMOTIONAL PAIN WITH THE LOVE I DEVELOPED FOR MY VEHICLE, THE DISAPPOINTMENT, THE FINANCIAL COST-THE CAR IS ACTUALLY NOT EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE. ANY TIME THE TIRE BLOWS OUT, I NEED TO EMERGENTLY REPAIR IT WITH MY OWN OUT OF POCKET MONEY UNEXPECTEDLY. UNSAFENESS- THE FIRST MICHILIN TIRE BLEW OUT UNEXPECTEDLY AT NIGHT AFTER 10 PM AT A LOCATION IN CHICAGO I HAD NO IDEA WITH. I HAD TO DRIVE IT AND PARK IT IN DARKNESS AT A SHELL FILLING STATION WHERE IT COULD HAVE BEEN TOWED. I HAD TO TAKE THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION MORE THAN AN HOUR BACK TO HOME WHERE I LIVED. SO UNSAFE.

AFTER IT RAINED, WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY SERIES OF ERRORS/PROBLEM MESSAGES CAME UP ON MY DASHBOARD. INCL, EMISSIONS CONTROLS SYSTEM PROBLEM, TIRE PRESSURE SYS PROB, AVOIDANCE COLLISION SYS PROB, COLLISION MITIGATION SYS PROB, POWER STEERING SYS PROB, ETC. MADE CALLS IMMEDIATELY TO HONDA CONTACTS AND GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. IT HAPPENED AS THE MAINTENANCE DEPT'S AT HONDA WERE CLOSING FOR THE WEEKEND. EXCEPT FOR THE MESSAGES THE CAR SEEMED TO BE DRIVING OKAY. STILL DROVE SLOWLY TO GET GROCERIES SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO BACK OUT. AS I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO WORK; I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL. TRIPLE A THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO WETNESS GETTING INTO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR WITH HIM PRESENT, POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. SO, I DROVE IT HOME AGAIN VERY SLOWLY. NEXT MORNING I STARTED THE CAR TO SEE IF I WOULD STILL GET THE FAILURE MESSAGES. THEY ARE STILL THERE. TOOK VIDEO OF MESSAGES AND WILL ATTEMPT TO SCREEN CAPTURE SOME OF THE MESSAGES.
