LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT WHEELS ON 2017 ACCORD SPORT SINCE ALMOST NEW. VERY NOTICEABLE AT LOWER SPEEDS. HONDA DEALER INSISTED GRINDING NOISE WAS FROM TIRE/RIM COMBINATION AND NOT ITEMS SUCH AS ROTORS, BRAKES, AND/OR WHEEL BEARINGS, ETC..
Wheels, Jul 16, 2019
WHEELS MAKE RUBBING/GRINDING NOISE. IT'S CLEAR WHEN DRIVE AT SLOW SPEED AND NEXT TO A WALL. IT SOUNDS LIKE TWO METAL PARTS RUBBING/TOUCHING TOGETHER.

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS, THE EMISSIONS/ELECTRICAL/CHECK ENGINE ON THE 2017 HONDA ACCORD IS AN ISSUE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON ERROR ON THE 2016 HONDA'S AND NEWER. THE EMISSION ERROR SYSTEM HAS COME ON AGAIN. THE LAST TIME I HAD THIS PROBLEM THE CONVERTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE SYSTEM ERROR COMES ON WHEN DRIVING WHEN RAINING, WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ALSO A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS WELL. I FIND THIS CONCERNING ON A NEW, 100 PERCENT DEALER MAINTAINED VEHICLE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ELECTRICAL/EMISSION PROBLEM IN THE SYSTEM AND IT REQUIRES AN INDEPENDENT PARTY TO REVIEW. THE TECH STATES NO ISSUE CAN ARISE FROM HAVING THE CHECK ENGINE/EMISSION LIGHT ON BUT THE CAR DOES TEND TO LOSE POWER DURING THESE ISSUES. HONDA OWNERS SHOULD NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR MANUFACTURE ERRORS.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW APRIL 2017. I AM HEARING A GRINDING, SCRATCHING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT TIRES AT LOW SPEEDS (20 MPH). I HAVE 24,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAVE GONE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE EVERY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICE. I'M NOT SURE WHY MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THIS LOUD GRINDING NOISE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE MY WINDOWS DOWN. THE PERFORMANCE OF MY BRAKES ARE ALSO NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY BECAUSE I CAN FEEL THE GRINDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAN HEAR THE THUMPING NOISE WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY EVEN MORE SO NOW BECAUSE I'VE NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS WEBSITE.

RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR IN FOR CAR DOC MAINTENANCE FOR AND AN OIL CHANGE. PAPERWORK STATES THE BATTERY IS GOOD. UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AFTER MECHANIC BROUGHT MY VEHICLE OUT TO ME I JUMPED TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T START SO I INFORMED THE HONDA MECHANIC AND THEY GAVE ME A JUMP WITH THE JUMPER BOX. IT'S BEEN 1 MONTH SINCE THEN AND MY CAR WON'T START AT THE ODDEST TIMES EVEN AFTER I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR A WHILE. CAR WON'T START OR TURN OVER AND THE LIGHTS JUST FLICKER ON AND OFF. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK TO GET A JUMP MY CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND IT WON'T START. VERY FRUSTRATED WITH HONDA I HAD THE CAR LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND I HAVE LESS THAN 50K MILES

THERE IS A RUBBING NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE 19' WHEEL DURING A DRIVE AT LOW SPEEDS . IT DEVELOPED AT ABOUT 13,000 MILES AND PROGRESSES . HONDA STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BEADING OF THE TIRE. A LOCAL HONDA DEALER CLAIMS THAT APPLIED A TEMPORARY FIX PER ATS 180602 VERSION 1 WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE RUBBING NOISE INDICATES THAT THERE IS A RELATIVE MOVEMENT OF ASSEMBLED PARTS (RIM AND TIRE) WHICH WILL LEAD TO A FAILURE OF ONE OF THEM. IN CASE OF WHEEL THIS COULD BE AN ACCIDENT.
Wheels, Jun 20, 2019
THERE IS A LOUD NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE TIRES AS YOU ARE DRIVING. HONDA STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BEADING OF THE TIRE. THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE TIRE WHILE DRIVING FREEWAY SPEEDS.

ON OR ABOUT 6/10/19 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I NOTICED A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF MY CAR. THE SOUND WAS LIKE SCREECHING NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE SOUND WOULD GO AWAY WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER I PICKED UP MY CAR ON 6/15/19 FROM SERVICE, WITH ONLY 18,119 MILES, I WAS INFORMED BY MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER THAT ALL THE BRAKE PADS HAD SEIZED AND ALL BRAKE CALIPER PINS HAD FROZEN. THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN SUBJECT TO NORMAL DRIVING. THIS IS HONDA CASE # 09629449.

ENGINE HEAD KEEPS LEAKING OIL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES BUT THEY WOULD JUST TIGHTEN THE HEAD BOLTS AND PUT A SEAL AROUND IT THAT WOULD LAST ABOUT 500 MILES BEFORE IT STARTS LEAKING AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT 4K MILES.

CAR SUDDENLY WONT START. BREAK PETAL IS STUCK, DASH LIGHTS CLICK AND WONT START. ACTS LIKE ITS THE BATTERY BUT DOESN'T ALLOW JUMP. CAR HAS LESS THAT 46,000 MILES AND IS 2 YRS OLD. CURRENT RECALL OUT FOR FUEL ISSUES, BUT THE DEALER IS SURE THATS NOT THE CAUSE. CONTACT AT THE DEALER WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL AND KINDA RUDE. RUSHED ME OFF THE PHONE WHEN I WAS ASKING QUESTIONS. VERY UPSET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHILE IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK AND THEN DRIVE NORMALLY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED EVERY TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BREAKAWAY HONDA (LOCATED AT 330 WOODRUFF RD, GREENVILLE, SC 29607, (877) 701-4395) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09486822. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

I HAVE A NOISY SOUND COMING FROM THE WHEEL/TIRE WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING, HONDA SAID ITS FROM THE TIRE AND WE DON'T COVER THIS, I CONTACTED THE TIRE COMPANY (CONTINENTAL), THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND FROM HONDA WHEELS NOT FROM THE TIRE, NEITHER HONDA OR CONTINENTAL TIRE WANTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A HONDA COMPLAIN CASE # UPON REQUEST.
Wheels, May 9, 2019
THERE IS A LOUD SCRAPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE TIRE BEAD BETWEEN THE RIM AND TIRE. I HAVE CONTINENTAL TIRES WITH 19" SPORT RIMS. I HAD IT BROUGHT TO A HONDA DEALER 3-4 TIMES BEFORE THEY FINALLY TOLD ME HONDA HAS NOT SOLUTIONS TO THE ISSUE. THEY OFFERED GIVE ME A DISCOUNT TO GET ANOTHER SET OF TIRES. THEY WERE VERY SILENT ON TRYING TO FIND A FIX OR COMPENSATE COMPLETELY FOR THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO DIDN'T ADVISE IF THE ISSUE WAS HAZARDOUS OR SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE NOISE.
Wheels, Other or unspecified, Apr 30, 2019
TIRE BEAD NOISE ON 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES, TIRE MAKES ALOT OF NOISE WHEN DRIVING. HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY AND DOES NOT OFFER ANY REPAIR. THEY EVEN CHARGED ME A DIAGNOSTICS FEE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ROLLING IN A SLOW MANNER. THE TIRES/BRAKES/ROTORS MAKE A RUBBING SOUND. THIS SEEMS TO BE A ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR OF ACCORD. THIS CAR WAS JUST PURCHASED OVER A MONTH AGO AND IT WAS NOT MENTIONED! THIS CAN BE HEARD ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN IN AND WAS TOLD IT'S THE TIRES ON THIS YEAR OF HONDA..

MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD COUPE HAS JUST ABOVE 8000 MILES ON IT AND ALMOST EVERYDAY WILL STALL IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE AND ALSO TRY TO SWITCH LANES FROM TIME TO TIME. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY TIMES WHERE THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY ON THE ROAD AND IT IS BECOMING VERY DANGEROUS. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE STATION AND SINCE THEY COULDN'T FIND A CODE WHEN SCANNING, THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE CAR HASN'T STOPPED STALLING AND IT LOOKS LIKE MY MODEL HAS A RECALL ANNOUNCED FOR IT BUT IT'S FOR A V6 ENGINE AND NOT A V4 WHICH IS WHAT I DRIVE. THE PICTURE BELOW SHOWS ALL THE LIGHTS THAT TURN ON FROM MY DASHBOARD WHEN THE CAR STALLS.
