Service brakes, Mar 27, 2021
AT 25,000 MILES, TOOK CAR IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, RECALL 20-039, ACC MALFUNCTION, AND HAZARD MITIGATION WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. DURING INSPECTION ON VEHICLE BY TECHNICIAN, WAS FOUND THAT FRONT BRAKES WERE AT 7 MMS AND REAR BRAKES WERE AT 0 MMS. REAR BRAKE PADS WERE COMPLETELY WORN DOWN AND ROTORS WERE RUSTED AND BEYOND ANY REPAIR. TECHNICIAN AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID THIS WAS "NORMAL." HONDA CORPORATION WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IN TALKING TO SEVERAL OUTSIDE MECHANICS AND MY KNOWLEDGE OF BRAKE REPAIR, ALL AGREE THAT REAR BRAKES SHOULD NOT COMPLETELY WEAR OUT BEFORE FRONT BRAKES AT 25,000 MILES. THE HONDA MECHANIC STATED THAT DOING THE RECALL OF REPROGRAMMING THE BCM WOULD CORRECT PROBLEM WITH ACC - ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS RE-PROGRAMMING DID NOT CORRECT THE ACC PROBLEM AND ACTUALLY MADE IT INOPERABLE. WE HAVE FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT TO LOOK AT ACC PROBLEM. DEALER SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, THEY WILL HAVE HONDA CORP. INSPECT VEHICLE. WE HAVE ON FILE ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS RECORDED IN "MAINTENANCE & SERVICE HANDBOOK" AND HONDA MULTI POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION CHECKLISTS. INCURRED $355 EXPENDITURE TO REPLACE REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA ALONG WITH RESOLUTION OF ISSUE.

FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS SQUEAKS SINCE DAY 1, AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. SECONDLY THE DRIVER DOOR WON'T UNLOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE SO I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR TO OPEN DRIVER DOOR LOCK . IT FEELS LIKE THE DOOR LOCK ON DRIVER DOOR IS STUCK AND THE DEALERSHIP WON'T FIX IT AND I'M WELL UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THERE'S A LIGHT THAT FLICKERS UNDERNEATH THE STEERING WHEEL IT BLINKS THE WHOLE TIME AND I'VE LOOKED IT UP AND HAVEN'T FOUND A REASON WHY IT SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BE BLINKING.

SPEED WAS APPROXIMATLEY 27 MPH. NECK AND HEAD INJURY RESULTED. HONDA DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AFTER RUNNING ALL TESTS. THEREFORE, THEY SAID NOTHIG WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR!

NEVER RECEIVE A RECALL FOR MY HONDA ACCORD 2019
Electrical system, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 28, 2021
ON 3 DIFFERENT DATES MY 2019 HONDA ACCORD SPORT HAD A POWER FAILURE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 65 TO 70 MPH WHEN EACH INCIDENT OCCURRED. FIRST TIME WAS AROUND 12/12/2021.THE ENGINE OR POWER SHUT OFF, RPM DROPPED ALL AT ONCE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THEN CAME BACK TO LIFE. THE SECOND TIME WAS 12/28/2020 ON THE SAME INTERSTATE 81FGOING ABOUT THE SAME SPEED. THIS TIME I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE THE CAR WAS STILL SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR IT DROVE OK AND NO MORE TROUBLE THAT DAY. ON 01/12/2020 IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON I 81 INTERSTATE AND AGAIN IT SHUT OFF OR LOST ALL POWER FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THEN IT RECOVERED ITSELF.THIS WAS A VERY BAD SITUATION AS I WAS IN 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH TRACTOR TRAILERS ALL AROUND GOING 70 MPH.I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MILLER HONDA, THREE TIMES. THEY TOOK IT IN AND TRIED TO SEE IF IT WOULD SHUT OFF ON THEM.IT DID NOT AT THAT TIME. SERVICE MANAGER COULD FIND NOTHING AT THAT TIME. I HAVE CALLED HONDA AND REGISTERED A CLAIM AS I FEEL THIS NEW CAR WITH ONLY 5,500 MILES ON IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.
Service brakes, Forward collision avoidance, Jan 23, 2021
ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND MY CAR HAS APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKES FOR NO REASON. NO VEHICLES IN MY IMMEDIATE AREA, INCLUDING IN FRONT OF ME. ON THE FIRST AND MAIN OCCASION, I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 75MPH. MY CAR FLASHED THE EMERGENCY "BRAKE" NOTIFICATION ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD, AND AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED BRAKES BRINGING ME DOWN TO ABOUT 50-55 MPH BEFORE THE WARNING WENT AWAY, BRAKES WERE RELEASED AND EVERYTHING PROCEEDED AS NORMAL. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON AND THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME NOR NEXT TO ME. THE SUN WAS NOT RISING NOR SETTING, SO I DON'T BELIEVE THERE TO HAVE BEEN ANY SUN GLARE AFFECTING THE RADAR. I HAD THIS ISSUE AGAIN DRIVING AT NIGHT ON BACK ROADS. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE "BRAKE" NOTIFICATION APPEARED AND THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED BRAKES, DESPITE NOTHING BEING IN MY LINE OF TRAVEL. AFTER THIS, I FIGURED OUT HOW TO DISABLE THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING AND CHANGE IT TO JUST A WARNING. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS AGAIN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I DON'T RECALL MY SPEED, BUT NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR FLASHED "BRAKE" FOR NO REASON BEFORE DISAPPEARING. I DO NORMALLY GET THE "BRAKE" NOTIFICATION WHEN I AM APPROACHING A SLOWED VEHICLE, BUT I DON'T GET AUTOMATIC BRAKING WITH THOSE AS I AM ALREADY APPLYING BRAKES. IN ALL THREE OF THESE CIRCUMSTANCES THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANYONE IN FRONT OF ME TO TRIGGER THE BRAKE WARNING.
Engine, Jan 23, 2021
ON 3 DIIFFERANT DATES MY 2019 HONDA ACCORD SPORT HAD A POWER FAILURE ON THE HIGHWAY INTERSTATE 81, GOING AROUND 65 TO 70 MPH. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF FOR JUST A MINUTE THEN CAME BACK TO LIFE. RPM DROPPED ALL AT ONCE. 1ST TIME ON 12/07/2020. SECOND TIME WAS 12/28/2020 SAME INTERSTATE SAME AROUND THE SAME SPEED. THIS I PULLED OFF TO SIDE OF INTERSATE. THE CAR WAS STILL SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED CAR AND IT STARTED FINE AND NO MORE DISFUNCTION THAT DAY. ON 01/12/2020 IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON I 81 INTERSTATE AND AGAIN IT SHUT OFF LOST ALL POWER FOR A MINUTE , RPMS DROPPED COMPLETELY AND THEN IT RECOVERED ITSELF. NOW I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MILLER HONDA 3 TIMES. JUST LAST WEEK THEY TOOK IT IN FOR ANOTHER RECALL ON SOMETHI;NG IN THE COMPUTER AND THEY UP DATED THAT. A THAT TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE COULD FIND NOTHING THAT SHOWED IT HAD EVER SHUT ITSELF OFF IN THE PAST. I DID SHUT ITSELF OFF 3 TIMES AND I DONT CARE WHAT HE SAID IT DID HAPPEN AND I DO NOT FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS A YEAR OLD I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AT MILLER HONDA IN WINCHESTER VA. AND IT HAS ONLY 5400, MILES ON IT.

I NOTICED ON A COLD STARTS MY CAR WOULD MISFIRE FOR A SECOND THEN GO AWAY ONCE WARMING UP , MY FUEL PUMP RELAY ALSO WENT OUT LEAVING ME STRANDED AT 2AM BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT START JUST KEPT ROLLING OVER.. HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR AND WENT TO GET A ENGINE CONTROL/FUEL PUMP RELAY THE NEXT DAY AND THE CAR TURNED ON ONCE I PUT THAT IN. WITH THIS HAPPENING I KNOW SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND I'VE PUT PREMIUM GAS IN THE CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW . I WENT ONLINE TO READ UP ON IT AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2018-2019 MODEL ACCORDS , SO I WENT TO THE DEALER THINKING YES THEY CAN FIX IT BUT WHEN THEY SEARCHED MY VIN THE ONLY THING THAT CAME UP WAS THE BCM UPDATE. BUT KNOWING THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I'M HAVING AND I CAN'T GET IT FIXED UNTIL I SAVE UP A LITTLE BIT . IS THERE A WAY THIS RECALL CAN BE DONE TO MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN SUCCESSFULLY GET TO SCHOOL AND WORK.

MY REAR BREAK PADS ARE WEARING FASTER THAN THE FRONT BREAK PADS. AT A 35K MILES I HAD TO GET NEW BREAK PADS FOR MY CAR. I DRIVE A LOT IN THE CITY. IT IS RARE THAT I TAKE LONG ROADS. PROBABLY AROUND 29K MILES IN THE CITY AND 6K MILES ON THE ROAD.
Service brakes, Lane departure, Jan 5, 2021
NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65-75 MPH THE VEHICLE HAS BRAKED HARD IN THE HIGHWAY. NO CARS BESIDE OR IN FRONT. THE LAST INCIDENT I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A TOYOTA TUNDRA WHO BARELY WAS ABLE TO STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO VANN YORK HONDA, WAS TOLD IT WAS A RECALL FOR A BCM MODULE (OBVIOUSLY UNTRUE, THAT IS FOR WIPERS, REAR DEFOGGER, ETC), BUT I DID GET THE ISSUE DOCUMENTED ON PAPER. THIS WAS IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME, I OR MY FAMILY HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT THE CAR DOES HAVE AN ISSUE WITH BRAKING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED FOR NO REASON. AT TIMES THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, THE LAST TWO TIMES LANE DEPARTURE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I HAVE BEEN CENTERED UP IN MY LANE, NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME OR AS I STATED BESIDE ME. THE CAR IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVER, ANY POTENTIAL PASSENGERS AND THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING. HONDA SEEMS NOT TO BE CONCERNED AS I HAVE READ ONLINE IN MANY PLACES THAT THIS BEGAN WITH 2018 MODELS AND AFFECTS NOT JUST THE ACCORD, BUT THE CIVIC AS WELL. MY 75 YEAR OLD MOTHER HAS A 2019 CIVIC THAT IS DOING THE SAME THING. I SUPPOSE IF SOMEONE GETS HURT AND FAMILIES START TO SUE, HONDA MAY DO SOMETHING. NOW THAT I HAVE DOCUMENTATION, IF I GET HURT, THAT IS MY PLAN!

BACK WINDSHIELD LEAKED. A THIRD OF THE SEAL WAS NOT INSTALLED AND WATER LEAKED INTO ROOF LINER IN CAR. LEAKED FROM RAIN AND CAR WASH. SUSPENSION CLUNKS AND MAKES NOISE LIKE AN OLD CAR. VEHICLE IN SHOP ALMOST 30 DAYS 1ST YEAR, AT LEAST 18 CONSECUTIVE. DEALER RECOMMENDED VEHICLE BE BOUGHT BACK DUE TO ISSUES BUT HONDA REGIONAL MECHANIC CAME IN AND SAID THA'TS JUST HOW THEY RIDE. CAR STILL RIDES LIKE AN OLD TRUCK OVER BUMPS. NO SATISFACTION AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

STARTED HEARING A SQUEAK SOUND FROM THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE AREA SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION THAT I PAID 65 DOLLARS FOR AND WAS TOLD MY BRAKES ARE FINE BOTH FRONT AND BACK SO I GO AHEAD AND KEEP DRIVING AND THE NOISE GETS LOUDER SO I GO BACK TO DEALERSHIP THEY STILL SAY AFTER THEY SAY THEY CHECKED THAT BRAKES ARE FINE SO I TAKE THEM AT THERE WORD NOT 4 DAYS LATTER I AM KNOW GETTING A GRINDING SOUND FROM THE FRONT AND REAR OF MY CAR AND MY BRAKE FLUID IS SUPER LOW IN MY CAR AND FEELS LIKE I HAVE NO BRAKES AT 30K MILES

USUALLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLDER SAY BELOW 50 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, A LOUD HUM EMITS FROM THE SPEAKER SYSTEM WITH OR WITHOUT MUSIC ON IF I AM GOING LESS THAN 40 MPH. IF I CRACK A WINDOW OR THE SUNROOF/MOONROOF OR A WINDOW, THE SOUND GOES AWAY TOO. I ALSO DON'T NOTICE THE NOISE IN THE SUMMER/WARMER MONTHS HERE IN THE NORTHEAST NOR DO I NOTICE THE HUM WHEN I AM TRAVELING FASTER THAN ABOUT 40 MPH, SUCH AS DOING 50/55 ON A HIGHWAY. SOME FOLKS BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE PART OF ACTIVE NOISE CANCELATION TO DROWN OUT THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE IN THE CABIN. IT SEEMS I MAY NOT BE ALONE: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T75510_DS980301

I WAS AT A RED STOP LIGHT ON A LOCAL STREET. IT WAS A CLEAR, SUNNY DAY. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I STARTED TO PROCEED. I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND TRAFFIC LANE (THERE ARE TWO LANES FOR A LEFT HAND TURN AT THIS SPOT). AS I PROCEEDED TO MAKE THE TURN, THE BRAKE MITIGATION SYSTEM ACTIVATED THE BRAKE. THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME AND TO MY RIGHT. I DRIVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION SO THIS ACTION CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL. LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME DID NOT HIT ME. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR QUICKLY. I HAD A HARD TIME RESTARTING THE CAR AS THE PARKING BRAKE MUST BE ON TO START THE CAR AS WELL AS THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED AND FOOT BRAKE PRESSED. AS THIS ALL HAPPENED SO QUICKLY AND I DID NOT EXPECT THE CAR TO STALL FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I DO NOT LIKE THE MITIGATION SYSTEM AS YOU HAVE TO TURN IT OFF EACH TIME YOU START YOUR CAR. FOR A CONSCIENTIOUS DRIVER YOU DO NOT NEED THIS SYSTEM. IT IS ONLY A BURDEN AND A HAZARD. I CALLED A LOCAL DEALER TO ASK ABOUT SHUTTING THIS SYSTEM OFF PERMANENTLY AND THE ADVISOR TOLD ME SHE HAD A HONDA THAT DOES THE SAME THING AT A CERTAIN ROAD SHE DRIVES WHERE THERE IS A DIP IN THE ROAD. PLEASE CHECK TO SEE IF HONDA IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE MITIGATION SYSTEM.

SHIFTS FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHEN SHIFTER IS SLIGHTLY CONTACTED, SUCH AS REMOVING A WATER BOTTLE FROM CUPHOLDER NEAR SHIFTER CONSOLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES INCLUDING WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN IDLING. IF THIS HAPPENS AT 60MPH YOU WILL SLOW DOWN TO A STOP WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS LIT, POSSIBLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY, MAY RESULT IN REAR END ACCIDENT. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE NOTICED AND WAS ABLE TO SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE WITHOUT ACCIDENT OCCURRING. I AM EMAILING SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT BURNS HONDA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM TODAY, AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR THANKSGIVING.

I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FIVE TIMES TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED. DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND UPDATES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH HONDA CORPORATION AS WELL. I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ALSO A WORK ORDER AND WHAT UPDATE THEY DID TO THE CAR.
Power train, Nov 17, 2020
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CLUTCH FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED WITH BRAKES WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND SHIFTED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. THE CLUTCH WAS RELEASED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HAMILTON HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT (655 US HWY 130, HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, NJ 08691, (609) 528-2560) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CLUTCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,000.

THE POSITIONING OF THE WINDSHIELD MOUNTED CENSORS BOX AND THE REARWARD VIEW MIRROR CREATE A FORWARD TO THE RIGHT BLIND SPOT THAT OBSTRUCTS VIEWS OF ONCOMING PEDESTRIANS IN THE WALKWAY COMING TOWARDS YOU AS YOU ARE NEGOTIATING THE VERY BEGINNING OF A RIGHT HAND TURN, LEADING TO POTENTIAL PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT AND VERY ANGRY PEDESTRIANS WHO DO NOT REALIZE THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY NOT TO WALK RIGHT THROUGH YOUR DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. IN ONE INCIDENT, THE PEDESTRIAN, WHO DID NOT COLLIDE WITH ME, THEN ASSAULTED MY CAR IN UNCONTROLLED ANGER SIX TIMES WITH FLAT HANDS TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR TRYING TO CAUSE DAMAGE. IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO TRY AND REPORT SAME TO POLICE SINCE THE POLICE MIGHT ACCUSE YOU OF STRIKING THE PEDESTRIAN WHO SCREAMED OUT OF CONTROL AND ASSAULTED YOUR VEHICLE. THE REAR VIEW MIRROR NEEDS TO BE ELEVATED, OR ALL ACCORDS EQUIPPED WITH FULL TIME SELECTABLE REARWARD CAMERA, NOT JUST THE TOP END MODELS AS THIS IS A SERIOUS VEHICLE DESIGN FLAW, THE CENSOR BOX SHOULD BE MOVED TO FRONT OF THE HOOD MOUNT, IT IS OBSCURING A LOT OF VISION FOR ANYONE 5"10" OR OVER. I AM 6'2":. THIS IS THE FIRST OF ABOUT 12 ACCORDS/ODDS/PILOTS I'VE OWNED OR LEASED WITH THIS HUGE A VISION OBSTRUCTION RIGHT IN MY RIGHT CENTRAL FRAME OF VISION. I WOULD NOT HAVE APPROVED THE LEASE HAD I KN OWN ABOUT THIS OR THE EXTREME RIGHT HAND BIASED PLACEMENT OF THE GAS/BRAKE PEDALS WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING AND MY KNEES, CREATING A PRESSURE OBSTRUCTION THAT SLOWS DOWN HITTING OF THE BRAKES. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. THIS GUY WENT HAYWIRE AND DID NOT REALIZE HE WAS OBSTRUCTED BEHIND THE CENSOR BOX AND REAR VIEW MIRROR, SO HE ASSAULTED MY VEHICLE SIX OR MORE TIMES WITH OPEN HANDS TRYING TO DENT THE VEHICLE. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED BUT NO ACCOUNTING FOR PEOPLE'S BLOOD PRESSURE AND TODAY'S ASSAULT FIRST, CONSIDER YOUR SITUATION APPROACH.
