2018 HONDA ACCORD EXL. 1565 MILES ON ODOMETER. WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND 89F. I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH ACC AND LKAS ACTIVATED BUT BEING CLOSELY MONITORED AS THIS FEATURE IS NEW TO ME. AS THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN AHEAD THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAYED "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER" ERROR MESSAGE. I HAD TO QUICKLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING DEALERSHIP TO SEEK OUT A SOLUTION. VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS AS A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO PREVENT FRONT COLLISIONS ALMOST CAUSED ONE!
Engine, Aug 8, 2018
THE FIRST NIGHT I TOOK OWNERSHIP OF CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKED AND THE CAR LOST POWER, AND BECAME A BRICK. HAD TO TURN CAR THE OFF, START IT, AND BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. CAR SHOWED 3 MISFIRE CODES ON MY SCANNER P0301, P0304, P0300. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE FIRST TIME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND IT SHOWS NOTHING HAPPENED. RELUCTANT TO TAKE THE CAR I WAS, BUT LIA BREWSTER HONDA WAS VERY FORCEFUL AND TOOK THE LOANER BACK. NOT EVEN TWO NIGHTS LATER THE CAR DID IT TWICE IN ONE DRIVE CYCLE. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS IN THE RAIN. LIA BREWSTER HONDA HAS MY CAR NOW FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I AM UPSET THAT THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS SAFE, I HAVE A 9 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER THAT IS THE WORLD TO ME. I EXPLAINED THIS AND STILL WAS NOT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. MY CAR IS STILL THERE, AND NO SIGN OF BEING FIXED. ONLY PAID ONE PAYMENT ON THE CAR. THEY TOOK MY CAR DUE TO THE FACT I VIDEO TAPED THIS HAPPENING. I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY, HOPE THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT BECOMES A TREND WITH 2018 HONDA 2.0T. PEOPLE'S SAFETY IS A NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. VERY UPSET I WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, AND WAS PUTS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN CHARLESTON, SC, I MADE A TRIP TO ATLANTA. DURING THE ROUND TRIP I NOTICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AFTER MAKING A STOP, SUCH AS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. AFTER 4 OR 5 SECONDS THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AT SUCH A RATE THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I KNEW THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. IN FACT, I TOLD MY WIFE THAT SHE SHOULD NEVER DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THIS PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM ATLANTA I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT RICK HENDRICKS'S HONDA IN CHARLESTON, SC WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TESTED THE CAR AND THAT THE PROBLEM I HAD WAS INHERENT TO THIS ACCORD AND I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR IN ECON MODE AND THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAPPEN IF ECON MODE WAS 'OFF'. SO, I TURNED ECON MODE 'OFF' AND BEGAN DRIVING THE CAR OFF THE DEALER LOT AND WHEN I STOPPED AT THE FIRST STOP SIGN AND THEN BEGAN PROCEEDING, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW CAR AND HAVE TO LIVE WITH A DEFECT THAT THE DEALER SAYS 'IT IS JUST THE WAY YOUR 2018 HONDA ACCORD WORKS'. I AM DRIVING AN AUTOMOBILE THAT POTENTIALLY MIGHT CAUSE INJURY TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS IN MY CAR, AND OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL.

WIFE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE IN THE LEFT HAND LANE ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN A YELLOW LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH AND CAR LOST ENGINE POWER. WIFE IS UNSURE WHICH YELLOW LIGHT CAME ON DUE IT HAPPENING SO FAST. SHE COASTED ACROSS THREE LANES AND MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THERE IS 700 MILES ON THE CAR. DEALER SAID IT MAY HAVE BEEN ROAD DEBRIS THAT CAUSED COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE CAR BUT NOTHING WAS RECORDED IN THE EDR UNIT. VERY UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30-40 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE LANE ASSIST SYSTEM AND LANE MITIGATION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN THE MIDDLE OF COMPLETING THE TURN, THE LANE MITIGATION FEATURE ACTIVATED AND STEERED THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A BOULDER AND FRACTURED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUSPENSION, WHICH DAMAGED THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CORAL SPRINGS AUTO MALL (9300 W ATLANTIC BLVD, CORAL SPRINGS, FL 33071, (954) 369-1016) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN SEVERAL OF THE SAFETY FEATURES.

I PURCHASED THE CAR JULY 3RD, 2018. DRIVING ON A TRIP AT AROUND 900 MILES AND HAD THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. THE CAR MADE A BEEPING SOUND AND THE CRUISE CONTROL POWERED OFF. A MESSAGE CAME UP STATING COLLISION MITIGATION BREAKING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THE CRUISE WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DESTINATION I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND UPON TURNING IT BACK ON THE WARNING WAS GONE. I DROVE HOME WITH NO PROBLEM.

Power train, Service brakes, Jul 9, 2018
I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET, ACCELERATING AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL. THE CAR MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE. THE GEARSHIFT INDICATED THE CAR TO BE IN DRIVE BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I MOVED THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFT SELECTIONS BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE DASH BRAKE FAILURE CONTACT DEALER LIGHT APPEARED, THEN TRANSMISSION FAILURE CONTACT DEALER WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART, WHICH I DID. THE CAR RESTARTED, THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE ONE BLOCK TO HOME. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID NOT DO AS I DID NOT FEEL IT WAS SAFE. IT WAS FORTUNATE I WAS NOT ON A FREEWAY OR IN TRAFFIC AS I MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP UNEXPECTEDLY; FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND NO NOTICE LIKE BRAKE STOP LIGHTS TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS THE CAR WAS STOPPING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

DEFECT IN WHOLE CAR PLEASE PLEASE RECALL BEFORE INJURY.

JUST LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, I'M ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSITIVITY OF MY BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE FEELS LIKE THERE ARE STEPS TO IT INSTEAD OF A SMOOTH LINEAR PEDAL. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A CAR WITH A BRAKE PEDAL LIKE THIS. FROM THE FIRST STOP LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BUYING MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD 1.5, I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THE PEDAL FEELS BINARY LIKE THE BRAKES ARE EITHER ON OR OFF AND NOT SMOOTH AND LINEAR. IT'S EITHER FULL BRAKE OR NO BRAKE AND NO IN BETWEEN. THERE ARE STEPS TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BRAKE SMOOTHLY. THIS HAS CAUSED BACK PAIN AND IF THE ACCORD I TEST DROVE FELT THAT WAY, I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ONE. I DROVE A FRIEND'S 18 ACCORD AND IT DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAY AT ALL. IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE NOW AND I TOLD THEM THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS LIKELY THE ISSUE AND THEY'VE JUST PUSHED BACK WITH "IT FEELS FINE" OR "IT NEEDS TO BREAK IN". WILL BE OPENING A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA OF AMERICA.

TERRIBLE PAIN IN LEGS, ESPECIALLY LEFT LEG, AND BUTTOCKS WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR. HAVE TRIED EVERY VARIATION OF SEAT ADJUSTMENTS (AND DO HAVE LUMBAR SUPPORT) AND PILLOWS, BUT NO HELP. MY PHYSICAL THERAPIST SAYS IT IS BEST TO SIT WITH SPINE AND LEGS AT 90 DEGREES, HEAD STRAIGHT ON TOP OF SPINE. THIS CAR SEAT FORCES HEAD FORWARD AND BUTT LOWER THAN KNEES. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS, I GAVE UP -MAKING ME MISERABLE. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO GO BACK TO OLD CAR WHICH IS MORE COMFORTABLE. IT CAN'T BE SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IN THIS MUCH PAIN. I HAVE ALSO TRIED MOST OF THE OTHER IIHS TSP SEDANS AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE THE NEWER SAFETY DEVICES (LIKE BACK UP CAMERA, ADAPTIVE CRUISE, LANE KEEPING ASSIST, BLIND SPOT ALERTS) BUT ALL SEEM TO BE JUST AS UNCOMFORTABLE. CAN'T OUR ENGINEERS MANAGE TO MEET SAFETY AND COMFORT NEEDS? THANKS.

Air bags, Structure, Jun 20, 2018
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FAILED TO ILLUMINATE 'OFF'. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE DASHBOARD VIBRATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE DRIVING; HOWEVER, THE VIBRATION STOPPED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE FOR THE VIBRATION FAILURE AT HONDA WINDWARD (45-671 KAMEHAMEHA HWY, KANEOHE, HI 96744, (808) 247-8544). THE DEALER STATED THAT A NEW AIR CONDITIONING BELT WAS TAPED ONTO THE UNIT. THE BELT WAS COVERED WITH FOAM TO KEEP IT ATTACHED TO THE UNIT. AS THE BELT PRESSED AGAINST THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT IT MADE A NOISE AND, COUPLED WITH AN UNKNOWN OBJECT UNDER THE DASHBOARD, CAUSED A VIBRATION. THE AIR BAG FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. NEITHER THE AIR BAG OR VIBRATION FAILURE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,090. *TT

AT 670 MILES, I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY AROUND A CORNER WHEN I HEARD A LONG BEEP FOLLOWED BY A "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER" MESSAGE. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO STOPPED WORKING. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE ERROR WENT AWAY. ABOUT A WEEK LATER AT 813 MILES, I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 55 MPH WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED WHEN I HEARD A LONG BEEP, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED, AND I RECEIVED THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE AS BEFORE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE CLEARS THE ERROR AND ALLOWS THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL TO WORK AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT OCCURS. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WERE ON WARM, SUNNY, CLEAR DAYS WITH DRY ROADS AND NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN FRONT OF THE RADAR OR CAMERA UNITS. YESTERDAY, THE CMBS FAILED TO ALERT ME TO A FOUR-WHEELER THAT DROVE ACROSS THE STREET IN FRONT OF ME AND IT SEEMS LESS SENSITIVE AT DETECTING OTHER VEHICLES NOW - EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NO ERROR MESSAGES OR WARNING INDICATORS PRESENT.

WHILE TALKING ON THE PHONE THE DISPLAY AUTO SCREEN WENT BLANK AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT REBOOTED. ON MAY 29TH, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WHEN I GOT OFF THE PHONE THE AUDIO DISPLAY FROZE. I COULDN'T GET ON THE HOME SCREEN, CHANGE THE RADIO STATION. THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT TURNED OFF AND REBOOTED ITSELF. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY TO REPORT THE ISSUE. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN DEC 2017AND THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE.
