Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Dec 26, 2020
THIS IS A COMPLAINT FOR A UNIQUE OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM ON THIS DATE. IN SOME INSTANCES, IT SEEMS THAT THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS POTENTIALLY PULLING NOXIOUS FUMES IN FROM THE ENGINE BAY AND IN OTHERS, THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MOISTURE RETENTION WHEN AC IS RUN. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO FORCE FOUL SMELLING AIR IN TO THE CAB. HONDA HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE (I.E. RETAIN THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM OR SOMETHING ELSE).
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Dec 26, 2020
A FEW MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE 2018 ACCORD, HONDA HAD TO PUT A SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH THEY CLAIMED WAS GOING TO ADDRESS AND ISSUE WITH THE BACK-UP CAMERA (WHICH ALWAYS SEEMED TO WORK FINE, AT LEAST ON MY CAR). SHORTLY AFTER THE UPDATE, THE INFOTAINMENT UNIT HAD STARTED TO RANDOMLY (AND RATHER FREQUENTLY) RESET ITSELF EVERY FEW DAY. HONDA (AFTER SOME TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REACH OUT TO THE HONDA OF AMERICA HQ) HAD FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND, EVENTUALLY, BEGRUDGINGLY HAD ADMITTED TO THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THEY HAD FAILED TO PRODUCE A FIX FOR MONTHS. MY VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX APPLIED AND KEEPS HAVING RESETS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY (WHICH USES THE SAME SYSTEM), WHO FINALLY GAVE UP AND GOT RID OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF RECALLS (AND, TO SOME EXTENT, VERY POOR HANDLING OF THE ISSUES BY HONDA DEALER(S) AND HONDA), BUT THEY HAD TO HAVE THEIR UNIT PHYSICALLY REPLACED. SUPPOSEDLY, THERE NOW A RECALL, BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (SURPRISE, NOT). AS IT STANDS, HONDA MAY HAVE USED A PIECE OF HW WHICH HAS A BUILT-IN FAILURE (THIS COULD BE MORE INSIDIOUS THAN JUST A SW FIX) AND IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS IT IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. WHY CAN'T THIS BE DONE VIA A 'SIMPLE' SW UPDATE THE WAY 21ST CENTURY CAR-MAKERS DO? OR IS HONDA SIMPLY HIDING AN INEVITABLE FAILURE VIA SW UPDATE? ON THE NOTED DATE, THIS WAS YET ANOTHER RESET OF THE UNIT. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 27,500 MILES, BUT HAS EXHIBITED THIS BEHAVIOR FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES/OVER A YEAR.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Dec 26, 2020
THE INFOTAINMENT UNIT IN THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD EARLY ON EXHIBITED A NUMBER OF ISSUES, ONE OF THEM BEING, POOR CONNECTIVITY VIA BLUETOOTH. IN THIS INSTANCE, WHILE THE DEVICE WAS DISCONNECTED INTENTIONALLY, THE INFOTAINMENT UNIT FAILED TO RETAIN THE DEVICE'S INFORMATION AND FAILED TO RECONNECT UPON A MANUALLY-INITIATED REQUEST FROM THE DEVICE LATER.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Dec 26, 2020
THE INFOTAINMENT UNIT IN THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD EARLY ON EXHIBITED A NUMBER OF ISSUES, ONE OF THEM BEING, POOR CONNECTIVITY VIA BLUETOOTH. IN THIS INSTANCE, THE VEHICLE WAS SHOWING WRONG BATTERY STATUS FOR THE CONNECTED DEVICE.

THE INFOTAINMENT UNIT IN THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD EARLY ON EXHIBITED A NUMBER OF ISSUES, ONE OF THEM BEING, POOR CONNECTIVITY VIA BLUETOOTH. IN THIS INSTANCE, THE VEHICLE WAS SHOWING THE BATTERY STATUS OF THE CONNECTED DEVICE AND CLAIMED THAT THERE IS ONE CONNECTED, BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, WAS INDICATED THAT NO DEVICE IS CONNECTED. SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE.

I HAVE CHANGED TWO BATTERIES SINCE I BOUGHT IT FIRST BATTERY THAT IT CAME WITH COMPLETELY DIED AND COULDN'T EVEN GET A JUMP. CHANGED IT AND NOW I HAVE TO KEEP GETTING JUMP EVERYDAY. MY WINDSHIELD HAS ALSO CRACKED TWICE FROM PASSENGER SIDE TO DRIVER SIDE. NO PUNCTURE MARK INDICATING SOMETHING HIT IT.

THE SEALS AROUND THE DOORS, WEATHER STRIPPING IS COMING LOSE, SEATS ARE FALLING APART, THE RADIO AND NAVIGATION SCREEN WILL GO BLACK AND REBOOT ITSELF. THE COLLISION CONTROL SYSTEM WILL GET YOU KILLED IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL. I WAS GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, HAD MY TURN SIGNAL ON. AS I'M MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 50 MPH, THE CAR THINKS I'VE FALLEN ASLEEP OR SOMETHING. THE CAR FORCIBLY TAKES ME BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND DOWNSHIFTS THE CAR WHILE BRAKING? SCARED ME TO DEATH. I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A TURN SIGNAL ON. LUCKILY IT WAS 3AM OR I COULD'VE BEEN SMASHED. ALSO, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL FLASH AT TIMES, NO ONE IS IN FRONT OF YOU. OR IT FLASHES LIKE YOU'RE ABOUT TO HIT SOMEONE BUT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT FLASH. ALSO, IF YOU DRIVE ANY LENGTH, IT SYSTEM WILL STATE THAT THE DRIVER HAS LOW ATTENTION SPAN. NOT SURE WHY, IT'S NOT LIKE I'M WEAVING. I THINK THE CAR NEEDS TO FEEL SOME MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING OR IT THINKS YOU'RE NODDING OFF. THE CAR SALESMAN WARNED ME THAT THE NEW BELLS AND WHISTLES, TECHNOLOGY, COULD HAVE ISSUES BECAUSE THE TECH IS NEW BUT NOTHING SPECIFIC. TRY TO SELL ME 3800 IN WARRANTY TO COVER TECH. THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE AT THE TIME. NOW, I'M THINKING THAT HE KNEW SPECIFICS AND DIDN'T SHARE.

I WAS DRIVING THE OTHER NIGHT AT 9PM. DRY CONDITIONS AND ABOUT 65 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I HAD PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN AND AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BY CAR STARTED SENDING ME WARNING NOTICES. SEE ATTACHED PICTURES. I WAS TOLD I PROBABLY HAD BUGS ON ONE OF THE FRONT SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER A GOOD CLEANING OF THISE AREAS THIS STILL DIDN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE HONDA IS KNOWN FOR IT'S SAFETY BUT THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S NOT THE CASE ANYMORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN TWO REAR END COLLISIONS AND ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE AUTO BRAKE ACTIVATED HOWEVER THERE WAS A PIECE ON THE CENTER CONSOLE THAT HAD BECOME DISLODGED THAT TRAPPED HIS FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP DUE TO HIS FOOT BEING TRAPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN FROM THE SCENE. THE DEALER HONDA OF DOWNTOWN CHICAGO (1111 N CLARK ST STE 2, CHICAGO, IL 60610 (312) 766-1095) HAD THE BUMPER, LIGHT AND THE ONBOARD COMPUTER REPAIRED BOTH TIMES. HOWEVER, THE ISSUES RECURRED WITH THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING ,THE BACKUP CAMERA AND THE PARKING SENSOR ON THE ONBOARD COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONING AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED . THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND ALL OF THOSE ISSUES WERE FIXED EXCEPT THE CENTER CONSOLE PIECE THAT KEEPS DISLODGING. THE MANUFACTURER SAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED. THE CONSOLE PIECE REMAINS UNFIXED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

THE PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE STARTED THREE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT IN NOVEMBER 2018. I HAVE FOUR DOCUMENTED CASES WITH THE DEALERSHIP. AS WELL AS 7 VIDEOS OF THE INCIDENT TAKEN PLACE WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE TACHOMETER AND ENTIRE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING ENTERTAINMENT CENTER, SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHILE USING THE GPS. THE SYSTEM REBOOTS ITSELF WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. HONDA CORPORATE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAD NOT PROVIDED A FIX FOR THE ISSUE TO DATE, DESPITE REPRESENTATIONS THAT SUCH FIXES WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY FALL OF LAST YEAR. I ALSO HAVE VOICEMAIL FROM THE SERVICE AND PARTS DIRECTOR OF THE DEALERSHIP ADMITTING FAULT AND NO FIXES FOR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE I CAN SHARE.

HERE IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THIS CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND TWO DEALERS WILL NOT FIX UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTEE BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE AND THERE ARE NO STORED ERROR CODES. THIS CAR HAS A LANE DEPARTURE MITIGATION (LDM) SYSTEM THAT HAS FALSELY ACTIVATED MANY TIMES WHILE THE CAR IS CENTERED ON THE DRIVING LANE. THE LDM ACTIVATES BY PROVIDING A WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD AND BY MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL QUICKLY TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT WHICH DISTRACTS THE DRIVER (A SAFETY ISSUE) AND ONCE CAUSED ME TO ALMOST STEER THE CAR INTO A SEMI ON MY RIGHT BY COMPENSATING FOR THE LEFT STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENT. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A LANE KEEP ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) WHICH REPEATEDLY HAS STEERED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. BOTH THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RECORDED AND PROVIDED TO AHM AND BOTH DEALERS. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN RANDOMLY ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. ADDITIONALLY, THIS CAR HAS ISSUES WITH RANDOMLY DISPLAYING AN INCORRECT SPEED LIMIT ON THE DASHBOARD (100 MPH IN A 60 MPH ZONE), FALSELY WARNING "STEERING IS REQUIRED" ON THE DASHBOARD, A "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING WHILE REPOSITIONING THE CAR AND THE ENGINE IS ON, AND THE BRAKE ASSIST/ANTI-COLLISION FALSELY ACTIVATING WHEN NOTHING IS DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF THE CAR. ALL OF THESE HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS OPERATING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

AFTER BEING PARKED IN A FRIENDS DRIVEWAY FOR SEVERAL HOURS I PROCEEDED TO OPEN MY CAR AND DRIVE HOME. FIRST REMOTE CONTROL WOULD NOT OPEN DOORS, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR ONLY, UPON TURNING IGNITION ON A SERIES OF WARNING INDICATING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY DISABLES ITSELF, ALL COLLISION MITIGATION FUNCTIONS STOP WORKING, SERIES OF WARNING SEE PICS APPEAR ON DISPLAY TO SEE DEALER, ALL WINDOWS AND TRUCK WILL NOT FUNCTION, TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS, REAR VIEW CAMERA DO NOT FUNCTION, BRAKE SYSTEM MSG APPEARS ON DISPLAY. TURNED OFF AND ON CAR WITH NO SUCCESS IN RESTORING ALL FUNCTIONS AS ON TWO PREVIOUS OCCASIONS. DROVE CAR FOR 4 MILES IN THIS STATE FELT IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR US AND OTHER DRIVERS. THIS MORNING ALL HAS RESTORED TO NORMAL. CALLED HONDA DEALER IN EL MONTE CA. WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, WAS NOT ABLE TO BOOK SERVICE CALL UNTIL MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK IN RESEARCHING ONLINE FOUND HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 19-051 DESCRIBING A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO CAR MODULES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT IS REALLY SHOULD MERIT A RECALL AS IT INTERFERES WITH THE SAFE DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE. A RECALL WILL FORCE HONDA TO INFORM ITS SERVICE DEALERS AND INSTRUCT THEM ON A PROMPT SCHEDULING OF REQUIRED SOFTWARE UPGRADE TO RESOLVE THIS SOFTWARE DEFECT AFFECTING DRIVABILITY OF THEIR FLAGSHIP CAR.
