Visibility/wiper, Aug 6, 2019
WINDSHIELD CHIPS STARTED FROM ALMOST DAY ONE OF PURCHASE. THE SMALLEST OF ROAD DEBRIS HAVE CAUSED MULTIPLES OF GLASS CHIPS TO ACCUMULATE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD OVER TIME. THE FIRST SURFACE OF THE GLASS IS VERY "BRITTLE" AND EASY TO CHIP WITH THE LIGHTEST OF CONTACT. CHIPS FORM EASILY AT LOW SPEEDS. AS COMPARED TO OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE DRIVEN, AN UNUSUALLY LOUD "SNAPPING/CRACKING" SOUND OCCURS UPON ANY WINDSHIELD CONTACT INCLUDING BUGS AND RAIN. CHIPS OCCUR IN IRREGULAR "CLUSTERS" UPON IMPACT. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ON OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE TRIED TO IGNORE THE PERIPHERAL CHIPS BUT NOW THEY ARE STARTING TO FORM IN MY FIELD OF VIEW. VERY DISSATISFYING AND DISAPPOINTING.

MULTIPLE ERRORS INVOLVING VEHICLE'S COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS). CMBS SYSTEM FAILS REGULARLY (APPROXIMATELY EVERY 120 MILES OF DRIVING) DURING ROUTINE USE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. SYSTEM FAILURE SHUTS DOWN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC), COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) AND DISPLAYS ERROR TO "SEE YOUR DEALER".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE BRAKES SEIZED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. DURING THE MOST RECENT BRAKE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE HOPPED A CURB AND THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRES BECAME DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE TIRE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO CORAL SPRINGS HONDA (9400 W ATLANTIC BLVD, CORAL SPRINGS, FL 33071, (954) 369-4679) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,800.
Air bags, Jul 25, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE A PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COLONIAL HONDA OF DARTMOUTH (LOCATED AT 225 STATE RD, DARTMOUTH, MA 02747, (508) 996-6800) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200. *AS

MY VEHICLE HAS MISSING STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION STRUT TOWER. IT APPEARS THE ROBOT THAT BONDS THE PIECES OF METAL TOGETHER WITH ADHESIVE EITHER HAD AN AIR BUBBLE IN THE LINE WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE OR THERE WAS SOME OTHER DEFECT. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY HONDA TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE BUBBLES FIXED IN THE PAINT ON THE TRUNK LID. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO USE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT DETECT VEHICLES AHEAD AND ACCELERATES RAPIDLY OR APPLIES THE BRAKES ABRUPTLY FOR NO REASON. AMERICAN HONDA WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT IN THE SUSPENSION STRUT TOWER ADHESIVE BUT REFUSED TO SEND AN ENGINEER TO LOOK AT THE CAR. IN MY OPINION, ANY MISSING STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE USED TO JOIN METAL, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHLY DRESSED PLACE SUCH AS THE STRUT TOWER, COULD EASILY BECOME A SAFETY DEFECT. I WOULD PREFER MY VEHICLE BE BOUGHT BACK FROM HONDA AS IT APPEARS TO BE A LEMON.

7/17/19. 2018 ACCORD TOURING 2.0 PURCHASED NEW IN NOVEMBER (HAS ABOUT 11,000 MILES NOW). I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN CAR MADE LOUD CLUNKING NOISE, BEGAN TO SMOKE INTENSELY, AND SHUDDERED TO A STOP AND DIED. I WAS ON BLUETOOTH PHONE CALL AT THE TIME AND THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END HEARD IT AND ASKED WHAT IT WAS. I SAID I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER JUST AS EVERY POSSIBLE WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON DASH AND PROFUSE SMOKE POURED FROM SIDES AND UNDER HOOD. I JUMPED OUT AND MOVED AWAY FROM VEHICLE, SEEING A LONG STREAM OF LIQUID FROM UNDER THE CAR ALONG THE ROAD WHERE I HAD PULLED OVER. FIRE RESCUE CAME, ALTHOUGH THE CAR DID NOT IGNITE. THEY AND THE ROADSIDE SERVICE MAN ADVISED ME THAT OIL HAD EXPLODED EVERYWHERE, AS FROM A HIGH PRESSURE SITUATION. THE CAR HAS HAD ONE OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER, PER ITS MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, AND OTHERWISE HAS HAD NOTHING DONE. I DID HEAR A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM IT THE PREVIOUS EVENING--LOUD ENOUGH THAT I CHECKED TO SEE IF IT HAD ANY MAINTENANCE WARNINGS, WHICH IT DID NOT. IT SAID MY OIL WAS AT 60% AND WOULD NEED A B1 WHEN IT WAS TIME. AFTER MY CAR DIED, IT REQUIRED A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT EVEN TURN IT ON AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, BUT THEY NEED A SPECIALIST TO COME LOOK AT IT. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW UTTERLY DANGEROUS THE SITUATION WAS. IF IT HAD BEEN LATER IN THE DAY WITH HEAVIER TRAFFIC, MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN AT EVEN GREATER RISK. IT SEEMS REALLY UNUSUAL TO HAVE SUCH A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE FOR NO REASON ON A NEW, HISTORICALLY RELIABLE VEHICLE.

ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD START FLASHING AND THE MESSAGE WAS TAKE IT TO THE DEALER RIGHT NOW. THIS IS A 5TH TIME IT HAPPENS I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE MULTIPLEX CONTROLLED UNIT MODULE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREGG ORR HONDA (4701 CENTRAL AVE, HOT SPRINGS, AR 71913), BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

PAINT PEELING & CHIPPING - SIX MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (NOV. 2018) THE PAINT STARTED CHIPPING AND PEELING ON THE HOOD, TOP AND TRUNK OF THE CAR. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS WASHED, IT GETS WORSE, SO I'M AFRAID TO WASH THE VEHICLE. THE SPOTS ARE VISIBLE WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. BRYAN HONDA AND AMERICAN HONDA HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. NOTHING WAS ADDRESSED UNTIL I REPORTED IT TO DIANE WILSON WITH EYEWITNESS NEWS TROUBLESHOOTER ON JULY 11, 2019. NOW BRYAN HONDA WANTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM CAME FROM TREE SAP, BIRD DROPPINGS, AND/OR ACID RAIN. RIDICULOUS! VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH AMERICAN HONDA, BRYAN HONDA AND MANAGEMENT. WILL NEVER BUT ANOTHER HONDA!

WHEN DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ENABLED THE CAR WILL AT RANDOM TIMES APPLY THE BREAKS WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. SO FAR THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING INTERSTATE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2-4 TIMES IN THE FIRST 10,000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP.

COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED FOR NO REASON, ON SURFACE ROADS AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VEHICLE SLAMMED ON BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY, THERE IS NOTHING ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO REGISTRATION IN THE WARRANTY SYSTEM BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO NO RECORD OF THIS PROBLEM WAS SENT TO HONDA USA.

TODAY I WAS DRIVING HOME, DOING 45 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A TWO LANE ROAD, THERE WERE NO CARS NEAR ME. SUDDENLY, THE CAR BEEPED TWICE, THE BRAKE SIGN CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STOPPED VIOLENTLY. THE SEAT BEAT LOCKED DOWN ACROSS ME. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME. MY NECK AND RIGHT SHOULDER ARE NOW HURTING. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED A MILE FROM MY HOME. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE HONDA DEALER WHEN I GOT HOME TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT THIS TIME WAS A MORE VIOLENT STOP. EACH TIME THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OR BESIDE THE CAR. THANKFULLY, EACH TIME NO OTHER CAR WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME.

TODAY 06-26-19 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5MPH OUT OF A PARKING LOT GOING VERY SLOW, I WAS READY TO TURN ONTO A ROAD THAT IS NOT BUSY AT ALL, OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR BRAKES LOCKED VIOLENTLY SUDDENLY. THE BRAKE LIGHT ALERT WENT OFF AS WELL, WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF MY. NOT A CAR, NOT A PERSON, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. MY CAR STOPPED SO HARD THAT IT JERKED MY NECK. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE & AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE 60 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE TO MY JOB. I'M NOT SURE IF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE. PLEASE FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR.

DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, CAR BRAKED CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO REAR-END ME. THIS HAD HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME BEFORE, LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME WASN'T FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY AND I WAS GOING LESS THAN 30MPH. A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER THAT WHILE GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WET ROAD CONDITIONS, A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM AND TO SEE DEALER. ONCE THAT WARNING COMES ON CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DISENGAGES. THIS WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON ONE OTHER TIME, WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH DRY ROAD CONDITIONS. IF THE CAR IS RESTARTED THE WARNING RESETS AND ALL SYSTEMS ARE UP AND FUNCTIONING AGAIN.

CAR APPLIES BRAKES WHILE IN FORWARD MOTION. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE CRUISE IS SET. I HAVE NOTICED THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING INTO THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES THE CAR HAS APPLIED THE BRAKES, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OVERTAKE ANOTHER CAR. TWICE THE CAR HAS APPLIED THE BRAKES WHEN THERE ARE MARKINGS ON THE HIGHWAY SUCH AS A SCHOOL ZONE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.

HAVE AUTOMATIC BRAKING AND LANE ASSIST DRIVING. BRAKES ON ITS OWN WITH NOTHING IN FRONT. HAPPENED TWICE. DEALER CALLS IT A GLITCH. I CALL IT VERY DANGEROUS. POLICE OFFICER WAS BEHIND ME WHEN IT HAPPENED LAST. GOOD THING HE HAD GOOD REFLEXES AND THE SPEED LIMIT WAS ONLY 45 MPH I WAS IN THE CENTER OF MY LANE WITH NO OBSTRUCTIONS, NO VEHICLES COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. TURNED OFF THE PROGRAM AND HAVEN'T USED IT SINCE. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID WOULD HAVE TO KEEP CAR AND TEST DRIVE UNTIL IT OCCURRED. I WILL DO THIS, BUT AM AFRAID THEY WILL BE KEEPING THE CAR FOR AWHILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE. IT'S HAPPENED TWICE IN A PERIOD OF TWO MONTHS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR FOUR MONTHS. ANOTHER PROBLEM..PAINT IS SPOTTING ON CAR LIKE IT WAS HIT WITH ACID. HAD PROTECTIVE WAX PUT ON THE WEEK I PURCHASED IT. VEHICLE HAS 3500 MILES ON IT. PAINT ALSO SHOWS TONS OF ORANGE PEEL. I PAID A LOT FOR THIS MODEL. EXPECTED MORE.

COLLISION MITIGATION, LANE ASSIST, ROAD DEPARTURE, AND BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION BEFORE VEHICLE IS A YEAR OLD CAUSING VEHICLE TO LEAVE ROADWAY WHEN USING SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH PREVENTING VEHICLE FROM STOPPING, AND/OR CAUSING STEERING WHEEL TO "ALERT" YOU OF LANE DEPARTURE WHILE DRIVING PROPERLY ALSO CAUSING VEHICLE TO "STEER" INTO SIDE OF 18 WHEELER WHILE TRAVELING SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60MPH FOR INTERSTATE TRAVEL WITH PASSENGERS IN TOW. HAS HAPPENED FOR ROUGHLY 7,000 MILES. WHEN BROUGHT TO HONDA TO BE FIXED, WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER VEHICLE WARRANTY DUE TO HAVING "CLIPS" BROKEN OFF OF FRONT SENSOR. WAS ACCUSED OF SENSOR BEING HIT BY SOMETHING YET NO SIGN OF DAMAGE. HONDA REFUSED TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND SIMPLY "CLEARED" THE ALERTS CAUSING VEHICLE TO NOT HAVE USE OF ANY SAFETY FEATURES BUT ALSO NOT SHOW ANY MAINTENANCE CODES AS WELL. HONDA SERVICE MANAGER STATED SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A "JUNEBUG" CAN CAUSE THIS TO MALFUNCTION AND THAT IS WHY CUSTOMERS CARRY COLLISION WITH INSURANCE. STATES ALOT ABOUT HONDA'S QUALITY IF A SIMPLE JUNEBUG CAN CAUSE AN ENTIRE $30,000 VEHICLES SAFETY FEATURES TO MALFUNCTION AND A SERVICE MANAGER NOT WANT TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY STANDARDS DUE TO SOME 2$ BROKEN CLIPS THAT CAN BREAK BY SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN A LOUISIANA ROADWAY. WHAT DOES THIS STATE ABOUT THESE VEHICLES UP NORTH DEALING WITH SNOW WITH A SENSOR THAT SITS UNDERNEATH THE FRONT BUMPER?

PURCHASED NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD SPORT FROM DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL BRAKE WITH NO WARNING AND ANYTHING IN SIGHT. WE SEE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE ALMOST ON A WEEKLY BASIS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE MARCH. OF COURSE THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND UNTIL CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER CONTINUALLY TRY'S TO REFER US TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND STANDS FIRM THAT THIS IS PART OF THE BRAKE MITIGATION SAFETY SYSTEM AND IS "NORMAL". I HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT ROUGHLY 70MPH ON A CLEAR DAY WITH NO VEHICLES IN SIGHT, NO ROAD CONSTRUCTION, STRAIGHT HIGHWAY, NOT MERGING ON OR OFF THE ROAD AND THE SYSTEM LOCK DOWN WITH THREE CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT. MOST RECENTLY MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM LOCKED DOWN CAUSING A GENTLEMEN TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING HER IN THE REAR END. I'M SICK OF HEARING EXCUSES FROM HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP! THIS IS NOT A SAFETY FEATURE, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANGER THE SYSTEM CAN BE CUT OFF BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CUT OFF A "SAFETY" FEATURE ON A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 40K MILES. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND I CERTAINLY HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE SOMEONE BEING KILLED BEFORE HONDA CORRECTS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE DOCUMENTED SIX OCCURRENCES OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM LOCKING DOWN JUST IN THE PAST MONTH. I HAVE ALSO SPOKE WITH HONDA CERTIFIED TECHS & SERVICE WRITERS WHOM HAVE ALL STATED THEY'RE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND NO FIX IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. IF SO I SUGGEST HONDA PURCHASE THIS 2018 HONDA ACCORD BACK!
