ACCORD ACCELERATES TO SURGE AT RANDOM - IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES. TWO TIMES WHEN WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, ONE TIME ON THE STREET, AND ONE TIME WAS WHEN WE WERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT! WE HAD TO BRAKE VERY, VERY HARD, AND USE OUR EMERGENCY BRAKE! WE ARE LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS IN THE CROSS-WALK WHEN THIS OCCURRED. AS YOU SEE IN THE ATTACHED RECEIPT, THE PROBLEM IS THE TAPE USED WHEN OUR ACCORD WAS BUILT. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ONCE PER MONTH AT THEIR LOCATION WHERE CARS ARE BROUGHT IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE WIRES ARE FAULTY BECAUSE RODENTS ARE ATTRACTED TO CHEW ON THE CARS WIRES SPECIFICALLY. WHEN WE CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND HAS MADE RAT TAPE TO ADDRESS IT, BUT THAT HONDA IS WAITING TO HIT A CERTAIN NUMBER NUMBERS OF COMPLAINTS SO THAT IT IS ENOUGH TO MEET ITS THRESHOLD BEFORE ISSUING A FULL RECALL.

THE RADAR PANEL WAS NOT OBSTRUCTED. THE CMBS CAN ONLY BE RESET BY STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER'S CUSTOMER SUPPORT WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE CONTACTED AT LEAST TWO DEALER SERVICE CENTERS WITH THIS PROBLEM, NO RESOLUTION. THEY SAY THEY NEED TO SEE THE ERROR CODE - PROBLEM IS, THE WARNING RESETS WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER CUSTOMERS ON THE CAR COMPLAINTS WEBSITE. MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON 06 FEB 2020.

Steering, Feb 4, 2020
THE CAR HAS AN ISSUE THAT WHEN YOU DRIVE LONGER DISTANCES IT DEVELOPS A 'STICK-SLIP' FEELING ON THE STEERING, E.G. IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFORT TO OVERCOME THE FORCE IT TAKES TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR CENTERED IN THE LANE. OTHERS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME BEHAVIOR. I DO HAVE A SECOND, IDENTICAL VEHICLE WHICH SHOWS THE SAME BEHAVIOR.

I WAS DRIVING ON EXPRESS WAY ON 7/5/19 EARLY MORNING. THE CAR SHAKE AND SLOW DOWN ALL OF THE SUDDEN. I WOULD BE KILLED IF THERE'S A CAR BEHINE ME. I PULLED TO THE CURB, AND TRY TO RESTART THE CAR AND GO, BUT IT KEEPS SHAKUNG IN THE BEGINNING. SO I CALLED HONDA FOR TOW TRUCK, THAT A LEASED CAR. BUT LATER I TRIED AGAIN, IT SEEMS THE CAR COULD GO, SO I DROVE HOME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR FEW DAYS, AND THE TRANSMISSION COULDN'T SHIFT SMOOTHLY SINCE THEN. LOOKS LIKE A LEMON. ONLY 9000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE MORE PICTURES ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THE SYSTEM WON'T ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD MORE THAN 5

I WENT ON A 200 MILE TRIP YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY SPEED 60-80 MPH I FELT LIKE MY STEERING WHEEL WAS KINDA STICKY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO DO MINOR CORRECTIONS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. AND WHEN I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT WAS LIKE FREE PLAY AND CAR WAS SWERVING LEFT OR RIGHT. I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH ME IT FELT LIKE I PUT HER LIFE IN DANGER. IT ONLY HAPPENED FOR FIRST TIME. USUALLY I DRIVE THIS CAR IN CITY WILL TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK. ALL IN ALL IT'S VERY SERIOUS AND SCARY ISSUE. I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CRASHES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

ON HIGHWAY, STEERING WHEEL LIGHTLY "LOCKS INTO A NOTCH". GENTLY APPLYING PRESSURE GRADUALLY WILL BREAK IT LOOSE, BUT CAUSES THE CAR TO LIGHTLY SWERVE WHEN IT DOES (NOTICEABLE TO PASSENGERS). THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FOLLOW A LEFT OR RIGHT CURVE OR WHEN KEEPING THE CAR IN THE LANE ON A STRAIGHTAWAY. THE PROBLEM IS MUCH LESS APPARENT WHEN LKAS IS ENGAGED. PROBLEM APPEARED ON 2018 ACCORD AT APPROX 10,000 MILES. PROBLEM APPEARED SUDDENLY AND WAS NOT PRECEEDED BY ANYTHING OUT THE ORDINARY. PROBLEM SO FAR OCCURED 2 DAYS CONSECUTIVELY. PROBLEM SHOWS UP AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH AND AFTER CAR HAS BEEN AT THAT SPEED FOR OVER APPROX 3 MINUTES. AT SPEEDS UNDER 40 MPH THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST.

SAME AS OTHER PEOPLE - I JUTS COPIED ANOTHER PERSONS COMPLAINT AS ITS IDENTICAL AND SAME MILEAGE ETC' - THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM' CAR HAS ALMOST 15,000 MILES. IT HAS DEVELOPED A STRANGE STICKING ISSUE IN THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS LIGHTLY HOLDING ONTO THE WHEEL AS I?M SLIGHTLY TURNING AND THEN SUDDENLY LET?S GO. THIS CAUSES ME TO OVERCORRECT TO STAY IN THE LANE AND IT BECOMES A FIGHT TO KEEP THE CAR IN BETWEEN LANES. IT IS MOST APPARENT WHEN EXITING FREEWAY RAMPS AND CHANGING LANES, ALTHOUGH IT?S ALSO APPARENT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SMALL CORRECTIONS ARE NEEDED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN BETWEEN LANES. THE OTHER SYMPTOM IS THAT THE CAR HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IT REQUIRES CONSTANT LIGHT CORRECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE THE CAR SWAYS BETWEEN THE LINES ON THE FREEWAY LANE. THIS IS INCREDIBLY TIRESOME ON A LONG DRIVE AND IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST 2,000-3,000 MILES. DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT IT?S THE LANE KEEP ASSIST DOING IT?S JOB. IT?S NOT DOING IT?S JOB IF I CAN?T CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND MAKES HIGHWAY TRACKING UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE TURNED EVERY ASSIST OFF AND IT STILL DOES IT.

ON JANUARY 4TH WHILE TRAVELING HOME MY ACCORD WAS SET IN CRUISE CONTROL AND OUT OF THE BLUE HIT THE BRAKES ON IT'S OWN WITH NO ONE AROUND ME. I BRUSHED IT OFF BUT ABOUT 20 MILES OR SO DOWN THE ROAD IT DID IT AGAIN EXCEPT THUS TE WAS NEXT TO A DIESEL AND NOT ONLY DID BRAKE ON ITS ON IT ALSO RESPONDED AS IF I WAS OUT MY LANE AND BEGAN TO TO TURN MY CAR INTO THE DIESEL I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM CRASHING AND THE THE CRUISE CONTROL WENT OUT AND I BEGAN TO GET A MESSAGE THE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING MECHANISM. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE REMAINDER OF OF MY TRIP BUT I WAS AN HOUR AND HALF AWAY FROM HOME SO TRAVELED ON HOME CHECK MY BRAKES CONSTANTLY. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS MY WIFE AND I RATTLED. I TOOK MY CAR IN ON THE 6TH TO TOPEKA HONDA AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT THE CAR TRIED TO KILL ME AND MY WIFE BY TRYING TO RUN US INTO A DIESEL TRUCK AND HOW IT WAS BRAKING ON ITS OWN AND THE TOOK AND LOOKED AT IT . THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME BACK A STATED"THERE WAS SOME GUNK ON YOUR CENSOR AND THAT CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN AND THEY CLEANED IT OFF IT WAS FINE" BUT IF THE CENSOR IS ON THE FRONT OFF THE CSR AND GUNK MAKES IT NOT WORK SURELY THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SUPPORT AND KNOWLEDGE BY THE DEALER, WE FEEL OUR ONLY CHOICE IS TO TRADE THIS CAR IN AS THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ANNOYANCE, BUT A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL.

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.

UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS WHEN THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN WHILE USING ACC (CRUISE CONTROL) THE SYSTEM WILL FAIL CAUSING THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE.EVER TIME THIS HAPPENS 3 TIMES SO FAR I WAS DRIVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. MOST TIME THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH. TRAFFIC WENT FROM POSTED LIMIT TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP.THE CAR WOULD START TO SLOW DOWN THEN THE SYSTEM WOULD FAIL, ALLOWING THE CAR TO CONTINUE FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION. THE MESSAGE "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM SEE YOUR DEALER" IS DISPLAYED. HONDA HAS A TSB 19-051 THAT TALKS ABOUT THE ISSUE. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP ABOUT ISSUE THEY REFUSED TO DO THE TSB.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OVERLY-BRIGHT. IN THE LOW-BEAM POSITION THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A PAINFUL EVEN TO GLANCE AT. WHEN THE CAR GOES OVER A BUMP THE HEADLIGHTS MAKE AN EVEN MORE BRIGHT FLASH. WITH SO MANY CARS LIKE THIS ON THE ROADS THE DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE BECOMING DANGEROUS AS THE BLINDING HEADLIGHTS CREATE BOTH DISCOMFORT AND DISABILITY GLARE AS WELL AS A SUBSTANTIAL DISTRACTION. THOSE BLINDING LED HEADLIGHTS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
