I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MILES/HOUR WHEN I BEGAN TO HEAR A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE LEFT MOST AIR VENT. WITHIN SECONDS, A STRONG ELECTRICAL OR BURNING RUBBER SMELL BEGAN TO FILL THE CABIN. THE HISSING SOUND EVENTUALLY SUBSIDED. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WHITE SMOKE BEGAN TO COME THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. THE SMOKE LASTED FOR ABOUT 45-60 SECONDS. FIRST THING THE NEXT MORNING, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 WORKING DAYS BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, AND INSTRUCTED ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THEY DID SAY THAT THE CAR HAD A CODE FOR A "FAULT IN THE BLOWER MOTOR CIRCUIT", BUT SAID THAT THAT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AS OF MARCH 4TH 2021, THIS ISSUE HAS NOT REAPPEARED SINCE THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE.

REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS 11-8-2019 AT 32,223 MILES. REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS 2-3-2021 AT 56,679 MILES. THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AGAIN. THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2009 ACCORDS.
Steering, Feb 14, 2021
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 55 MPH OR FASTER, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT TO HOLD THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE STEERING BECOMES HARDER THAN NORMAL TO INITIATE A TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER APPLYING MORE PRESSURE THAN NORMAL, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SUDDENLY MOVE CAUSING A LARGER THAN DESIRED STEERING CORRECTION. BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA-LARGE STEERING CORRECTION ANOTHER CORRECTION WILL BE NEEDED IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, BUT THE STEERING RESIST TURNING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION UNTIL EXTRA FORCE IS APPLIED TO THE STEERING WHEEL, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SUDDENLY MOVE AND CAUSE AN OVERCORRECTION IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. THIS PROBLEM HAS ONLY HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, USUALLY AFTER 3 HOURS. THE STEERING PROBLEM CAN STILL BE PRESENT AFTER STOPPING AT A REST AREA AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, BUT WHEN THE PROBLEM DOES FINALLY GO AWAY IT IS ALWAYS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THE PROBLEM WHEN PRESENT DOES NOT ALWAYS CAUSE THE SAME RESISTANCE TO TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM IS SLIGHT AND OTHERS IT IS VERY SEVERE TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE LANE USING 2 HANDS THERE ARE 19 COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD. FEB OF 2020 FLOW HONDA OF WINSTON-SALEM REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY FURTHER PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN ON A TRIP FROM NC TO FL WHEN THE STEERING PROBLEM REAPPEARED. AFTER STOPPING AT A REST AREA FOR A 15 MIN. STOP THE STEERING PROBLEM WAS GONE. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED. ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THERE ARE 2 PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN THAT THEIR STEERING PROBLEM REAPPEARED AFTER THE RACK AND PINION HAD BEEN REPLACED. ON FEB. 8, 2021 I RETURNED THE ACCORD TO FLOW HONDA OF W-S FOR THE 4TH TIME AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.
Service brakes, Feb 9, 2021
WHEN I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER IN 2019 TO CHANGE MY OIL, THEY HAVE SAID THAT MY REAR BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT WAS VERY BIZARRE TO ME AS THE CAR IS FWD AND THE ENGINE IS IN THE FRONT, THUS MAKING MORE STRESS ON THE FRONT BRAKE PADS INSTEAD OF THE REAR BRAKE PADS. OTHER HONDA ACCORD 2018-2020 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS SAME ISSUE AND I HOPE IT CAN BE RESOLVED AS IT SEEMS THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS WEAR OFF TOO FAST. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF NOTICE.

CAR INTERMITTENTLY FLASHES ALL THE CMBS LIGHTS AND APPLIES BREAK ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CAR. HONDA DEALERSHIP CHARGED TO DIAGNOSE A REPLACE BREAK SWITCH. PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. COUNTLESS OTHERS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE AND REPORTING ONLINE FORUMS AND YOUTUBE. I ALMOST GOT REARENDED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO THIS. ALSO WHEN THESE LIGHTS COME ACIVE, DRL SOMETIMES DO NOT WORK AND REVERSE CAMERA DO NOT WORK. FIRST HAPPENED JUNE 2020(AFTER ISSUE, IT ALLOWS THE CAR TO START WITHOUT PRESSING BREAK PEDAL), CONTINUES TO HAPPEN OFTEN. DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTING REMOVES THE ISSUE FOR SOMETIME THEN COMES BACK FEW DAYS TO WEEKS/MONTHS LATER.

THIS IS A LEASED 2018 HONDA ACCORD, THE VEHICLE HAS 8000 MILES ON IT. THE SAFETY PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM HAS SHORTED 5 BATTERIES AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS, LENDING TO UNSAFE CONDITIONS. THE HONDA DEALER HAS REPLACED 5 BATTERIES ON MY VEHICLE AND NOW MY CAR HAS BROKEN-DOWN AGAIN MAKING IT SIX SHORTED BATTERIES ON A VEHICLE THAT BARELY HAS 8K MILES.

THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS USED AS A NAVIGATION SYSTEM, RADIO, BACKUP CAMERA AND SETS VARIOUS SETTINGS FOR THE CAR.
