Electrical system, Service brakes, Oct 10, 2018
5 BRAKING ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 4 HOURS: ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST SYSTEM PROBLEM. ALL ERRORS DIRECTED ME TO "SEE YOUR DEALER". THE VEHICLE OPERATED PERFECTLY PRIOR TO THIS. I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR OR EVEN LOCK IT AFTER THESE ERRORS APPEARED. THE BATTERY WAS ALSO DRAINED BECAUSE THESE MESSAGES KEPT APPEARING.

DRIVING MY NEW 2018 ACCORD EX-L 2.0 IN THE LEFT LANE ON I65 GOING SOUTH TOWARD LAFAYETTE IN ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 5. THERE WERE TWO SOUTHBOUND LANES. CONDITIONS WERE WET BUT IT WAS NOT RAINING HARD AT THE TIME. HAD ACC AND OTHER SAFETY FEATURES ON. WAS PASSING A SEMI (THAT WAS GOING ABOUT 70-71 MPH) AT ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN A CAR CAME UP BEHIND ME GOING MUCH FASTER THAN ME. I ACCELERATED TO MOVE IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THE SMALL YELLOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS STEADILY LOSING SPEED. I MANEUVERED OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER GOING ABOUT 50. HAD TO KEEP THE ENGINE REVVED AT 3000 RPM AND STILL WAS STEADILY LOSING SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON THE SHOULDER. EVENTUALLY PULLED OFF AT THE FIRST EXIT AFTER ABOUT 2 MILES ON THE SHOULDER AND WAS GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AT THE TIME. TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND STARTED IT UP. IT DROVE FINE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED OFF. I HAD MY WIFE AND TWO DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR. WE EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON A BUSY TWO-LANE INTERSTATE WITH MANY SEMIS. DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO CODES TO CHECK FROM THE CEL AND THAT ALL HOSES, ETC ARE CONNECTED AND THAT THE CAR IS FINE. IT WASN'T FINE WHEN IT LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. I SUSPECT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL PUMP.

HEAVY RAIN STARTED TO FALL WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT MOVING FAST ENOUGH CAUSING ME TO BECOME BLINDED AND NO ABILITY TO SEE WHILE HUGE TRUCKS SOON PASS STRAIGHT ME CAUSING MORE WATER TO LAND ON THE WINDSHIELD.

MY BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T W/ AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES. IT SHIFTS VERY ROUGHLY SOMETIMES, I NOTICE THE PROBLEM MOST WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, HOWEVER IT STILL HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN ENGINE IS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES. I UNDERSTAND THAT ITS A FIRST YEAR PRODUCTION VEHICLE AND A NEWLY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION BUT HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH UNDER 700.00 MILES IS EXCUSABLE. THE PROBLEM DID NOT SUDDENLY START, I NOTICED THE PROBLEM SOON AFTER DRIVING OFF THE DEALER LOT FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND LET ME BE CLEAR, I UNDERSTAND WHAT "BREAK IN PERIODS" ARE FOR CARS AND I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE AGGRESSIVELY AT ALL YET, THE VERY ROUGH SHIFTS HAPPEN AT JUST NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING.

I HAD AN EVENT WITH MY TURBO HOSE BEING LOOSE, DEALER TECH SAID MUST HAVE BEEN LOOSE COMING FROM THE FACTORY. HERE IS THE THREAD. MY SITUATION IS ILLUSTRATED WITH MY HANDLE, "MIKIWOLF". BASICALLY, LOST POWER IN MY VEHICLE AFTER 1850 MILES AND HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AT FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS BAD FUEL AND QUOTED ME $800 TO CLEAN THE FUEL TANK. TECH KEPT USING "ETHANOL" AND "WATER" INTERCHANGEABLY WHICH CONFUSED ME. A DAY LATER I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TECH SAID IT WAS BAD GAS WITH JUST 5% ETHANOL, FUEL WAS TOO RICH CREATING THE PROBLEM FOR ME. EVEN AFTER I EXPRESSED THAT ETHANOL IS SIMPLY AN ADDITIVE, IT MEANT LITTLE TO THIS 20-SOMETHING KID. LONG STORY SHORT, AFTER I ASKED HIM TO TEST FOR WATER, HE WOUND UP DOING A VISUAL INSPECTION AND FOUND THE TURBO INLET PIPE WAS LOOSE, TIGHTENED IT, AND DID A TEST DRIVE - PROBLEM FIXED. THE TECH WENT ON TO SAY THAT HIS INTERNAL FORUM SHOWS THIS SITUATION HAPPENING MORE AND MORE WITH ACCORDS. HE THINKS THEY ARE COMING FROM THE FACTORY TOO LOOSE AND GOING FORWARD HE KNOWS WHAT TO LOOK FOR NOW. THE DEALERSHIP DID THE RIGHT THING TO WORK WITH ME AND RECONCILE THEIR FINDINGS WITH ME. PROBLEM IS, NOT EVERYONE IS AS TECHNICAL AS I AM AND OVERALL HONDA SEEMS TO HAVE A BUILD ISSUE TO RESOLVE AND BROADLY INVESTIGATE.
Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Sep 29, 2018
MONDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2018, I WAS TRAVELING ON U.S. HIGHWAY 19 AND A VEHICLE TURNED OFF ABOUT A HALF MILE AHEAD OF ME WHILE I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE HAD COMPLETELY CLEARED THE ROAD AND MY CAR SLAMMED ON BRAKES CAUSING EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE TO BE THROWN INTO THE FLOORBOARD. HAD THERE BEEN A CAR BEHIND ME, THE CAR WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED MY VEHICLE. THERE CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE WHERE THE SENSOR RECOGNIZES SOMETHING IN THE ROAD THAT IS NOT THERE OR A VEHICLE THAT HAS ALREADY CLEARED THE ROAD AND SLAMS ON BRAKES. THIS CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IS DAMAGING ON THE BRAKES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THIS SYSTEM ENGAGED BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL SLAM ON BRAKES CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO REAR-END ME.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH ACC (ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL) ENABLED AND LKAS (LANE KEEP ASSIST) ENABLED AND PASSING A CAR AND ANOTHER TIME AN 18 WHEEL TRUCK, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND ABRUPTLY BRAKED TO SLOW DOWN 5 MPH. THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT AND NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE CARS WERE BEHIND ME AND THEY ALL HAD TO REACT TO SLOW DOWN. T

PURCHASED ACCORD 8/25/2018, 103 MILES ON CAR AT TIME OF PURCHASE. DRIVING THAT SAME NIGHT AST AROUND 30MPH ON RESIDENTIAL 2 LANE ROAD. CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON ITS OWN. COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM ERROR CAME ON DASHBOARD. TOOK TO DEALER 8/27/2018. DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM AND TOLD US EVERYTHING OKAY. SEVEN DAYS LATER CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IDENTICAL TO 1ST INCIDENT. CMS ERROR CAME ON AGAIN IN ADDITION TO TOTAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE MOTHER BOARD AND RESET THE CMS AS WELL. 9/16/2018 - TRAVELING ON 4 LANE HWY AT 50 MPH. CAR ACTIVATED BRAKES AGAIN AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS INCIDENT ALMOST RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION. DRIVER BEHIND WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AND AVOID HITTING US. EACH INCIDENT THERE WAS NO DRIVERS AHEAD OF ME, NO ANIMALS/ITEMS CROSSING PATH. COMPLETELY RANDOM AND CANNOT WILLING REPLICATE. 9/18/2018 DEALER IS NOW COMING TO PICK THE CAR UP AND WORK WITH HONDA ENGINEERS TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. THIS A A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT WILL AT SOME POINT CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO OPERATOR AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. HONDA MUST RECALL THIS FEATURE IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE IOWA ATTY GENERAL OFFICE TO REPORT ISSUE.

Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Electronic stability control (ESC), Sep 16, 2018
1. CAR MULTIMEDIA UNIT (WITH A TOUCH-SCREEN) RANDOMLY FREEZES AND RESTARTS ITSELF. IT HAPPENED TO ME 9 TIMES ALREADY SINCE I BOUGHT A CAR IN JUNE 2018. IF YOU USE NAVIGATION SYSTEM OR NEED SCREEN FOR OTHER ACTIVITIES WHILE YOU DRIVING - YOU ARE IN TROUBLE, BECAUSE YOU WILL LOSE ALL THE CONTENT YOU HAD ON THE SCREEN BEFORE THE RESTART AND IT WILL DISTRACT YOU FROM THE DRIVING. AFTER RESTART SYSTEM IS VERY SLOW AND IT FORCES YOU TO ACCEPT LEGAL DECLAIMER WHILE YOU DRIVING! TWO TIMES IT JUST FROZE WITHOUT RESTART AND I HAD TO STOP THE CAR, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN, TO REMOVE THE PROBLEM. VERY ANNOYING AND ALSO NOT SAFE BECAUSE IT DISTRACTS YOU. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS BACKING UP USING REAR VIEW CAMERA, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY, MAINLY WHEN I'M DRIVING. IT HAPPENS WHEN DEVICES ARE ATTACHED TO THE MULTIMEDIA UNIT AND WITHOUT ANY DEVICES BEING ATTACHED OR USED. IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND DAY TIME AND I DOUBT IT IS RELATED TO OVERHEATING. IT CAN HAPPEN DURING LONG DRIVE AS WELL AS 5-10 MINUTES AFTER THE ENGINE START. NO VISIBLE PATTERN HERE. OCEAN HONDA OF BURLINGAME DEALERSHIP IN BAY AREA IS NOT HELPFUL AND TOTALLY NOT PROFESSIONAL. BEEN THERE TWICE, NO LUCK. THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE PROPERLY ALWAYS TRYING TO SEARCH FOR FAULT IN MY ACTIONS OR BLAME COMPATIBLE DEVICES ATTACHED TO CIGARETTE POWER SLOT. AMERICAN HONDA ADVISED ME TO VIDEO RECORD THIS ACTIVITY WHILE I'M DRIVING !!!! STILL NO RESOLUTION. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA 2. SENSORS ARE NOT PROPERLY SETUP BECAUSE IT "THINKS" THAT THERE'S A CAR AHEAD OF YOU IF SENSOR DETECT SHADOW ON A ROAD, ETC. CAR APPLIED BREAKS FEW TIMES WITHOUT A REASON. DIDN'T GO TO DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM YET.

Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Service brakes, Sep 7, 2018
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THIS CARS COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM HAS APPLIED THE BRAKES WITHOUT ANY REASON AND THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE PUBLIC AT LARGE AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION FROM HONDA. I'VE SEEN SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2017 AND 2018 CRV DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING.
Service brakes, Sep 5, 2018
I HAVE GOTTEN THE WARNING ON MY DASH STATING "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE DEALER" SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK SINCE PUTTING ABOUT 1200 MILES ON THE CAR (FEB 2018). SINCE SEEING THIS WARNING MY CAR WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES AT RANDOM (DURING HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING) AS IF IT DETECTED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BUT THERE WAS NO VEHICLE PRESENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE GOTTEN NO SOLUTION. I HAVE ALSO CALLED HONDA NORTH AMERICA AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND STILL HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE. THIS ISSUE COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVEN SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN REAR-ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULDN'T WORK WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN ON HIGHWAY. PULLED OVER, WENT TO SERVICE STATION, THEY HAD ME TURN CAR OFF AND CHECKED SOME FUSES. THEN WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ABOUT THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL, BRAKING AND VARIOUS SAFETY FEATURES. THIS MORNING WHEN I STARTED CAR AND BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY THE WIPERS STARTED WORKING BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER THIS MORNING.

ON A HOT DAY WHILE SITTING STATIONARY IN MY CAR WITH AC RUNNING, I HEARD A 'POP' WITH A FIZZLE SOUND THEN SMOKE BEGAN TO RISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE DASH WHERE IT MEETS THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING [PUSH TO START], AND ALL LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE ALL SENSORS BEGAN TO EMIT ERROR MESSAGES. I TURNED OFF AND EXITED VEHICLE, POPPED THE HOOD AND SMOKE WAS ALSO COMING UP FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2018, AND AT TIME OF INCIDENT HAD A LITTLE 6000 MILES. AFTER LETTING CAR SIT FOR A FEW HOURS IT STARTED UP, WITH ERROR MESSAGES ACROSS THE DISPLAY..I.E. TPMS, CHECK ENGINE, LKAS,ETC. I THEN HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NEAREST HONDA DEALER, AND THE SERVICE PEOPLE WERE UNSURE WHY A MODULE IN THE DASH BURNT OUT; SO THEY CONTACTED HONDA CORP. LONG STORY SHORT THEY PLACED BLAME THAT A CHARGER FOUND IN THE BOTTOM OF MY GLOVE BOX CAUSED IT, WHICH WAS NEVER USED IN MY CAR. TO THIS DAY NO ONE CAN ANSWER ME WHY A SPONTANEOUS FIRE STARTED IN MY CAR WHILE SITTING STILL WITH AC RUNNING, BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX MY CAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE IF THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. PHOTOS SHOW POSSIBLE LEAKAGE ON THE WIRES, BUT NO ON WANTS TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM AT HAND.

I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS STOPPING ON A YELLOW LIGHT ON THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT IT DOESN'T DO THAT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO DISABLE IT BUT WAS TOLD HE CAN'T DO THAT WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THIS IS AN ADDED FEATURE.
