THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAR ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR DRIVING IN WINTER CONDITIONS. THE TREAD PATTERN IS DESIGNED FOR DRY ROADS. THERE ARE NO CHANNELS FOR ACCUMULATING SLUSH, SNOW, ETC. TO EXIT THE TREAD TO THE SIDES. THIS CAUSES ACCUMULATION IN THE TREAD AND CAUSES HYDROPLANING AND COMPLETE LOSS OF TRACTION. LAST WINTER I ALMOST LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THIS CAR WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY COMING NORTH FROM O'HARE ON I94 IN SLUSH. I TRIED ASKING THE KENOSHA, WISCONSIN DEALERSHIP TO PUT ALL SEASON RADIALS ON THE CAR AND THEY REFUSED, SAYING IF I WANTED TO PAY FOR DIFFERENT TIRES I COULD DO THAT. SELLING OR LEASING A VEHICLE IN A SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHICAL AREA SHOULD INCLUDE TIRES THAT ARE SUITED FOR SAID AREA. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN SNOW OR ANY SLIPPERY CONDITIONS DUE TO THE TIRES.

THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) STRIP IS OUT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AFTER ONLY 9 MONTHS. I HAVE READ ABOUT 8 OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SPOKEN WITH OTHER ACCORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS ABSURDLY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE CONSIDERING IT IS ALL ONE ASSEMBLY. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DRL IN THAT SHORT OF A TIME, A COMPONENT THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO SAFETY, IS A SIGN OF POOR CRAFTING/MANUFACTURING.
Electrical system, Oct 15, 2018
I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE THIS STRANGE ENGINE START ISSUE RECENTLY (WITH SHORT CIRCUIT SOUNDS). DEALERSHIP SERVICE DONE IN JULY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OR MY IGNITION SWITCH. DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE A CRITICAL ISSUE ' IT IS NOW LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROADS. I DON'T SEE ANY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE EITHER. I'M GLAD I NOTICED DURING SUMMER AS OTHERWISE COULD BE LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. I HAVE DESCRIBE THE EVENTS IN DETAILS IN THE ATTACHED PDF.
Electrical system, Oct 10, 2018
LOUD CLICKING NOISE POSSIBLY IN LOCKING SYSTEM. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN IT DOES START THE NOISE, IT IS CONTINUOUS FOR SEVERAL MILES. IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I PARK AND LOCK THE DOORS FROM OUTSIDE AND THE LOCKS CONTINUE TO CLICK UNTIL I COME BACK TO THE CAR AND RE LOCK THE DOORS. IT WILL ALSO MAKE THE NOISE WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR AND I HAVE NOT STARTED THE CAR YET. SOMETIMES I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST STARTS THE CLICKING NOISE. ALSO THE ALARM HAS GONE OFF BY ITSELF WHILE PARKED AND I DIDN'T EVEN SET THE ALARM. THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ON DEC 21, 2017.

LED DRL PREMATURE FAILURE: I WRITE CONCERNING PREMATURE DRL LED FAILURE IN THE LED HEADLIGHTS OF MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING V6. THE LED DRL FAILED LESS THAN 18 MONTHS AND 22K MILES INTO BRAND-NEW OWNERSHIP. THE UNIT'S DESIGN IS SUCH THAT, SHOULD IT FAIL, COMPLETE AND COSTLY REPLACEMENT OF THE UNIT IS NECESSARY: $1500+. WHILE THE ITEM IS COVERED UNDER THE NEW CAR WARRANTY, SUBSEQUENT FAILURES OF THIS SUPPOSED SAFETY ITEM WOULD NOT BE COVERED, SHOULD ADDITIONAL PREMATURE FAILURE OCCUR, WHICH IS A MOST INCONVENIENT AND HAZARDOUS REALIZATION.
Wheels, Oct 8, 2018
WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS BELOW 35MPH, THERE IS A SCRAPING NOISE. I HAVE HAD IT TO TWO HONDA DEALERS AND THEY BOTH SAY IT IS THE TIRE BEAD MAKING A SCRAPING NOISE. THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL FOR A 2017 ACCORD WITH THE SPORT PACKAGE THAT HAS THE 19" FACTORY WHEELS TO MAKE THIS NOISE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 15,000 MILES AND CORPORATE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO.

I HAVE STARTED NOTICING ENGINE ACCELERATION LAG, A TIRE/WHEEL NOISE FROM DRIVER FRONT/REAR SIDE. THE NOISE WAS VERY NOTICEABLE SINCE IT FELT LIKE THE TIRE/WHEEL WAS RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER SOMEWHERE. THE NOISE CAN BE HEARD DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF 15-30MPH HAVING THE WINDOW ROLL DOWN. JUNE 4TH, 2018 MADE A APPOINTMENT WITH PURCHASING DEALERSHIP YONKERS HONDA TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED. HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO I TEST DROVE WITH MECHANIC AND PROVED MY CASE. AFTER HEARING THE NOISE, THEY KEPT THE CAR TO FIX THE ISSUE AND WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR THE NOISE WAS BACK AGAIN. SINCE THEY COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE, THEY LABELED IT AS "NORMAL" AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE DESPITE SHOWING IT TO THEM AFTER MULTIPLE VISIT. I OPENED A CASE WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY COULD NOT GET YONKERS HONDA TO FIX THE ISSUE OR GET THE MANAGER TO CALL ME TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. INSTEAD, AMH ADVISED ME TO TRY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID, "NEW ROCHELLE HONDA" HOWEVER THEY WERE NO HELP WHATSOEVER. THEY DID NOT EVEN WANT TO WORK ON THE CAR DESPITE THEIR MECHANIC HEARING THE NOISE. THE DIRECTOR INFORMED THE MANAGER THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND FED HONDA LIES ABOUT DIRECTOR EVER CONTACTING ME OR TEST DRIVING WITH ME. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN, AND THEY DID NOT HELP ME INSTEAD TOLD ME TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I AM ON MY THIRD DEALERSHIP, WORKING WITH BRONX HONDA ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE SINCE JUNE 4TH, 2018 AND STILL NO FIX...NOW I AM EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION LAG, BRAKE ROTORS ISSUES, WHEEL VIBRATION, VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING FROM HIGH SPEED EVEN THOUGH BRONX HONDA RESURFACED THE BRAKE ROTORS INSTEAD OF REPLACING THEM WITH NEW ONE.

FIRST ISSUE I NOTICED WITH MY CAR WAS THAT WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT ROAD IN THE MIDDLE LANE MY CAR WILL PULL SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, GARDEN STATE HONDA IN PASSAIC NEW JERSEY, AND THEY REPORTED THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. I DROVE THE CAR AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED. NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER, DCH PARAMUS HONDA IN PARAMUS NEW JERSEY, AND AGAIN IT WAS REPORTED BY THIS DEALER THAT THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. I DROVE MY CAR AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE DEALERS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. THE SECOND ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE (2/3/2018. 15691 MILES) ON THE SIDE AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO GARDEN STATE HONDA REGARDING THE TIRE DAMAGE AND THEY DECLINED REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE AND INCREASED THE TIRE PRESSURE TO 37PSI ON ALL FOUR TIRES WHICH IS ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE OF 33PSI FRONT TIRES, 32PSI REAR TIRES (I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE IN THE MORNING) MY CAR FELT STIFFER AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AFTERWARDS. MOREOVER, THE FRONT LEFT TIRE RIPPED ON THE SIDE AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-30MPH ON LOCAL STREETS (3/30/2018). THIS IS WHEN I HAD TO BUY TWO BRAND NEW TIRES YOKOHAMA ADVAN SPORT A/S XL FOR $174.88 EACH THAT REPLACED THE FRONT TWO DAMAGED TIRES. RECENTLY (8/24/2018. 22442 MILES) THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BENT AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 50-55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

HONDA ACCORD 2017 CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) TORQUE CONVERTER SEAL LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. DEALER FIRST SAID IT WAS LEFT-OVER FROM ASSEMBLY, CLEANED IT. BUT LEAK PERSISTED. THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTED SEAL, AND YET PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY JUST WANTED ME TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THE CAR HAS ONLY 10K MILES. DRIVES NORMALLY. BUT LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID IS A TIME BOMB. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL GET WORSE AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION.
