I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AND OIL CHANGE AT 20,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR PADS WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT PADS ARE FINE. THIS ISSUE WAS RECALLED IN 2010 AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE CAR WANDERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. MINOR CORRECTIONS ARE NEEDED TO ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE CAR GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. A MINOR MOVE TO THE LEFT, THEN FOLLOWED BY A MINOR MOVE TO THE RIGHT AND SO ON. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT HIGH SPEEDS (OVER 60MPH THE DRIVE CAN BE QUITE SCARY). I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A HONDA FIELD REP COME TAKE A LOOK, BUT 1 WEEK LATER I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN OR ACTIVE RECALL DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STEERING RACK 53600-TVA-A18 WHICH MY ACCORD HAS AND IS NO LONGER AN ACTIVE HONDA PART, NOW REPLACED WITH A NEW PART NUMBER.

MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD BRAKED SPONTANEOUSLY FOR NO REASON. THE WORD BRAKE APPEARS ON THE CONSOLE AND THE CAR ENGAGES THE BRAKES SUDDENLY AND FORCEFULLY. I'VE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS AND THERE WERE NO VEHICLES OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. DURING TWO EPISODES, I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN MY CAR BRAKED SPONTANEOUSLY- IT CAUSED MY HEAD/NECK TO JERK FORWARD. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME DID NOT TEAR END ME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE BRAKE MITIGATION SYSTEM ENGAGES WHEN DRIVING THROUGH CONSTRUCTION ZONES AND TOLD ME TO TURN OFF THE SYSTEM IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES. HE SAID 'THAT'S HOW THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO WORK'. I WAS NOT IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT APPEARS HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS NOT TAKING STEPS TO CORRECT IT.

MY VEHICLE'S BACKUP CAMERA SOFTWARE HAS FAILED AGAIN DESPITE BEING "FIXED" ONCE ALREADY. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2018 TO FIX DEFECTIVE SOFTWARE THAT CAUSED THE BACKUP CAMERA TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE CAMERA'S COLLISION SENSOR QUIT WORKING AND FAILED TO WARN ME OF OBJECTS IN MY PATH WHEN I WAS BACKING UP. HONDA LOADED NEW SOFTWARE, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER REPAIR, BUT I GOT THE SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE... "GEE, IT'S WORKING FINE FOR US, AND WE CAN'T FIX IT IF IT AIN'T BROKE!" WELL IT IS BROKEN, AND HONDA WON'T FIX IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND I HOPE THE NHTSA CAN HELP ME GET IT RESOLVED.

HONDA'S COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN, DISALLOWING CRUISE CONTROL AND ALL SAFETY FEATURES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM. DEALER CANNOT FIND CAUSE. TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT RESETS IT, BUT WHEN IT TURNS OFF, THERE IS NO CLEAR FACTOR AS TO WHY IT HAPPENED. THERE IS A SAFETY RISK IF YOU ARE USING CRUISE CONTROL, AS IT COULD FAIL TO BRAKE WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU SLOWS DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW.

RATTLE/SQUEAK FROM HUD AREA OF DRIVER'S SIDE DASH AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING OUTDOORS IN THE HEAT. VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN FLORIDA AND WHENEVER IT IS PARKED OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY IF LEFT IN THE SUN, THERE IS A LOUD RATTLE/SQUEAK FROM THE HUD AREA OF THE DASH FOR SOME TIME AFTER. PASSENGERS IN THE CAR CONSTANTLY ASK WHAT THE NOISE IS. DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AND HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. SEE NHTSA ID NUMBER 10136423 DATED APRIL 2018. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS ISSUE ALSO EXISTS IN 2019 MODELS AS WELL. HONDA NEEDS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE AND IMPLEMENT A FIX FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR OVER A YEAR. THIS IS OUR SIXTH HONDA AND WE ARE FRUSTRATED THAT SOMETHING AS ANNOYING AS THIS WAS NOT DISCOVERED AND RESOLVED DURING THE VEHICLE'S DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING. THIS ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED DURING OUR FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP AND WE HAVE DISCUSSED IT WITH THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY TELL US THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ARE AWAITING A FIX FROM HONDA. UNTIL THEN THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

PAINT CHIPS AND SCRATCHES EASILY. CLEARCOAT AND PAINT STARTED PEELING. THE SLIGHTEST THING WILL SCRATCH OR CHIP THE PAINT. SCRATCHES ON THE HOOD AND ROOF ARE PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY ( REALLY NOTICEABLY DUE TO THE CAR BEING BLACK). ANY LITTLE THING THAT TOUCHES THE PAINT SEEMS TO DAMAGE IT. THE PAINT PEELED OFF IN MULTIPLE SPOTS ON THE ROOF AND THE TRUNK. NOW I CAN SEE THE ACTUAL CARE METAL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR (ACCORD 2018 2.0 T) IN NOVEMBER 2018, AND I STARTED NOTICING ALL THESE ISSUES COUPLE MONTHS AGO, BUT THINGS GOT WORSE VERY QUICKLY. CONTACTED DEALER AND THE CONTACTED HONDA, BUT I RECEIVED THE EXPECTED ANSWER THAT THEY CAN'T DO MUCH AS THIS FORM EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT. I USED TO HAVE A C 300 BLACK CAR THAT I USED TO PARK IN THE SAME PLACE EVERY DAY LIKE MY HONDA AND NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES. *TT *TR
