CAR HAS GONE INTO LIMP MODE TWICE. FIRST TIME WAS WHEN I HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS. I WAS DRIVING 65MPH AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO KEEP FROM GETTING HIT AND CAUSED SOME UNDERCARRIAGE DAMAGE. THE CAR WAS TOWED. HONDA "FIXED" THE LIMP MODE ISSUE BUT REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE CAR GOING INTO LIMP MODE. LAST MONTH I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AT 2:30 AM AND THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE AGAIN. THE CAR WAS TOWED FOR A SECOND TIME TO A DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY STATED THERE WAS NO WAY THE FIRST DEALERSHIP FIXED THE CAR. THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS NOTED THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM, THE FUEL INJECTOR AND ALL OF THE CYLINDERS HAD TO BE REPLACED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE METAL SHAVING NOTED IN MY OIL AND THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM CAUSING FURTHER ENGINE DAMAGE AS TIME GOES ON. HONDA HAS ALSO REFUSED TO PAY FOR MY RENTAL CAR DURING THIS PROCESS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 6/7/19 ALSO STATED THAT IF THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE AGAIN AND I GET HIT, ALL ADDITIONAL DAMAGE CAUSED FROM THE ACCIDENT WILL BE MY RESPONSIBILITY.

I STARTED TO NOTICE MONTHS AGO, WHEN STOPPED OR IDLING, MY VEHICLE BEGINS TO MISFIRE OR THE RPM ACCELERATES.TOOK IT IN THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY CAN'T SEEM TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE ALMOST HIT SEVERAL PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY SUN/MOON ROOF JUST SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME, AND I DID NOT GO UNDER ANY OVERPASSES. THE GLASS DID NOT HAVE ANY CHIPS, CRACKS, OR ANY DAMAGE FROM BEING ON THE ROAD. IT LITERALLY JUST EXPLODED. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE MY SUN ROOF COVER CLOSED, OR I WOULD HAVE HAD THE GLASS RAIN DOWN ON ME WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE OEM HANKOOK TIRES ARE UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED. THE TIRES ROUTINELY HYDROPLANE ON WET PAVEMENT WITH SPEEDS AS SLOW AS 45 MPH. THIS IS A MONTHLY OCCURRENCE. THE REAR TIRES LOSE GRIP DURING LANE CHANGES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON DRY PAVEMENT. THE TIRE DESIGN IS UNSAFE.
Air bags, Oct 14, 2019, crash
OUR BRAND NEW 2019 HONDA ACCORD, WITH ABOUT 1,000 MILES ON IT, WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION ON OCTOBER 13, 2019 AT 1:24 PM ON A CITY STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH. WE STRUCK A 2001 F250 AT 45 MPH IN THE SIDE AFTER THE INDIVIDUAL FAILED TO YIELD AND STOPPED SIDEWAYS DIRECTLY IN OUR LANE OF TRAFFIC. MY HONDA RECEIVED SERIOUS FRONT END DAMAGE AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS SMOKING, BUT NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG DEPLOYED DURING THIS ACCIDENT. THERE WERE THREE (3) ADULTS AND ONE (1) CHILD IN THE HONDA, THE CHILD AND TWO (2) ADULTS WERE SENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM VIA AMBULANCE. THERE WERE NO MAJOR INJURIES OTHER THAN SEVERE BRUISING AND SOME PULLED MUSCLES WHICH WERE CAUSED BY THE SEAT BELTS. THE FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT DURING A HEAD ON COLLISION OF THIS PROPORTION IS VERY DISTURBING AND AS A RESULT WE HAVE LOST COMPLETE FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN HONDA'S SAFETY FEATURES. WE ARE VERY THANKFUL THAT THE SEAT BELTS PREVENTED US FROM SLAMMING OUR HEADS INTO THE DASH AND WINDSHIELD, ESPECIALLY SINCE OUR AIR BAGS FAILED US.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND NOTICED ON THE WAY HOME FROM DEALER THAT IT HAD A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING. AT 62MPH THE VIBRATION WAS VERY BAD. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE WEIGHT ON THE WHEEL PROBABLY CAME OFF. I DROVE THIS VEHICLE 300 MILES AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY REMOVED THE WHEEL AND TIRE AND FOUND A BULGE ON FRONT TIRE. THEY REPLACED THE TIRE AND TODAY I GOT AN E-MAIL FROM HONDA MOTOR STATING THIS WAS NOT A HONDA PROBLEM AND I NEEDED TO CONTACT THE TIRE COMPANY [HANKOOK] THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN SOLD AND THE DEFECT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT EITHER WITH THE TIRE MANUFACTURE OR BY HONDA WHEN IT WAS INSTALLED. THEIR TAKE ON THIS IS ALMOST LIKE IT IS MY FAULT I SELECTED THE THE WRONG CAR

RECEIVED "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER." ERROR MESSAGES NO LESS THAN 5 TIMES. THE 2019 ACCORD TOURING HAS ROUGHLY 5K MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND RESTARTED THE CAR IN THE BAY. THE ERROR LIGHT WENT AWAY AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME BACK IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE ERROR MESSAGE CAME BACK SEVERAL MORE TIMES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. I SUGGESTED FAULTY BRAKE SWITCH BE LOOKED AT BUT WAS TOLD THE CAR JUST NEEDED A "REBOOT" AND TO CALL IF I HAD ANY FURTHER ISSUES. THE ISSUE RETURNED SEVERAL DAYS LATER. I BELIEVE IN EACH CASE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON AND SPEEDS WERE UNDER 30. I BELIEVE THE SYSTEM WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES AS WE APPROACHED THE CAR AHEAD IN SLOW MOVING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. ONLY ON ONE OCCASION WAS THERE RAIN OR WET ROADWAYS. IN ALL OTHER INSTANCES THE ROAD AND SKIES WERE CLEAR EACH TIME ON RELATIVELY STRAIGHT ROAD.

MY 2019 HONDA ACCORD, PURCHASED NEW JULY 25, HAS 2365 MILES ON IT. TWICE VERY EARLY IN MY OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) ACTIVATED WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I FORGOT ABOUT THE PROBLEM AS IT DID NOT REPEAT ITSELF UNTIL THREE INCIDENTS 9/11 AND 9/12 2019. CMBS ACTIVATED YESTERDAY EVENING (9/11/19). IT HAPPENED AGAIN 9/12 MY DRIVE TO CHICAGO ON I-294. I CALLED HONDA OF RACINE RIGHT AFTER THAT HAPPENED AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. HE TOLD ME TO TURN THE SYSTEM OFF. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON MY DRIVE HOME FROM CHICAGO. I SEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON-LINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/2018/BRAKES/SERVICE_BRAKES.SHTML MANY OF THE COMPLAINANTS WHO HAVE BROUGHT THEIR CAR INTO HONDA DEALERS FOR SERVICE REPORT HAVING NO SATISFACTION. WHAT IS ALSO TROUBLING IS THAT THE SYSTEM DID NOT WORK TODAY WHEN THERE WAS NEED FOR AN EMERGENCY STOP WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BRAKED AND SWERVED LEFT (IN A NARROW CONSTRUCTION ZONE) TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR THAT HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY IN FRONT OF HIM WHEN A TOW TRUCK STARTED BACKING UP ON THE ROAD TO SERVICE A CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I BRAKED QUICKLY AND THE CAR BEHIND ME SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE CMBS DID NOT ACTIVATE IN THIS SITUATION. 9/13: WAITING AT HONDA FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I HAVE BEEN SHOWN A MAY 2019 HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THIS ISSUE. I SEE NUMEROUS NHTSA OWNER REPORTS OF IDENTICAL PROBLEMS.

WHEN I BRAKE FROM A SPEED OF 30-40 MPH, THE PEDAL FEEL IS NOT SMOOTH THROUGHOUT THE BRAKING MOTION. FIRST, I START TO BRAKE BUT I DO NOT SLOW DOWN, ONLY WHEN I PRESS EVEN HARDER DOES THE BRAKE ENGAGE BUT AT THAT POINT IT IS A HEAVY BRAKE MAKE THE CAR LUNGE FORWARD. BASICALLY THE BRAKES ONLY ENGAGE WHEN I PRESS HARDER ON THE PEDAL BUT DOING SO MAKES THE BRAKING NOT SMOOTH. THIS UNCERTAINTY WHEN THE BRAKES WILL ENGAGE MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I HAVE TO HEAVILY CONCENTRATE ON BRAKING. MY CAR IS BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 1450 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY DO NOT BELIEVE MY STORY EVEN WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY NEW 2019 HONDA ACCORD WHICH IS JUST AT IT'S 3768 MILES, AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM, COLLUSION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM AND ROAD DEPARTURE SYSTEM FAILED. IT SHOWED A MESSAGE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. UPON RESTARTING THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE SOLVED. I GOT THE CAR COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, SO I HAVE THEIR MAY 2019 SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH SUPPOSEDLY WOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH 10TH GEN ACCORDS, BUT IT DIDN'T. THE DEALERS AND HONDA CORPORATE KEEP RESPONDING THAT HONDA DOESN'T HAVE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM YET, WHICH IS GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW FOR MANY OWNERS, WHICH CAN EASILY BE FOUND BY A GOOGLE SEARCH. PLEASE HELP US.

I INCORRECTLY DESCRIBED THE SAFETY PROBLEM WITH MY HONDA ACCORD IN MY COMPLAINT 11241841, SO HERE'S A CORRECTION. IT IS NOT THE TOP OF THE CALF MUSCLE THAT IS IMPEDED, IT IS THE KNEE WHICH LOCKS AGAINST THE OVERLY THICK PLASTIC (2"-3" HIGH) SURROUNDING THE ENTIRE TOP OF THE CENTER CONSOLE, AND SO YOU MUST MAKE MULTIPLE FOOT AND LEG STABBING MOVEMENTS IN ORDER TO WITH DIFFICULTY ACTUALLY ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP AFTER BEING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS WOULD EFFECT ALL MALES WITH HEIGHT 5.9" OR OVER AND SOME TALLER WOMEN. THE PROBLEM IS THE KNEE LOCKS TIGHT AGAINST THE CENTER CONSOLES PLASTIC AT THE TOP OF THE CONSOLE, AND YOUR FOOT BECOMES TRAPPED AGAINST THE GAS PEDAL. THE TIME DIFFERENTIAL TO RELOCATE YOUR LEG AND FOOT TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE IS AN ADDITIONAL HALF SECOND OR LONGER. YOU HAVE TO HAV LEGS LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE YOUR KNEE BECOME ADJACENT TO THE 2-3" HIGH THICK PLASTIC ALONG THE TOP EDGE OF THE CENTER CONSOLE WHICH RUNS THE ENTIRE SIDES OF THE CENTER CONSOL AT ITS TOP. IT IS EXTREMELY CRAMPING AND DISRUPTIVE TO LEG MOVEMENT BY PINNING THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE KNEE JOINT. HONDA MUST REMOVE THE AREA OF THAT THICK STRIIP OF HORIZONTAL (FRONT TO BACK) PLASTIC WHERE THE KNEE ENGAGES IT, TO ALLOW ONE TO ROTATE ONE'S FOOT EASILY BETWEEN GAS AND BRAKE. IF THEY DO NOT MULTIPLE FATALITIES MAY OCCUR.

ON A TOTAL OF 6 OCCASIONS DURING THE FIRST 4500 MILES OF USING MY NEW CAR, THE BRAKE ALERT SIGN ACTIVATED WITHOUT REASON FOR PROVOCATION, I.E., NO OTHER CARS NEARBY, NOTHING IN ROADWAY. FOUR OCCURRED WHILE DOING 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE. THE LAST 2 OCCASIONS WERE STARTLING AS THE BRAKES WERE TRIGGERED, CAUSING THE CAR TO FISHTAIL AND SWERVE LEFT MOMENTARILY AS IF ATTEMPTING TO AWAKEN A DRIVER FALLING ASLEEP. ON THOSE OCCASIONS I WAS DOING ABOUT 50-55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO NEED TO BRAKE. ONE TIME I WAS TAKING AN EXIT TO GET ON ANOTHER HIGHWAY. THE OTHER TIME I WAS GOING THROUGH A CONSTRUCTION ZONE BUT THERE WERE NO CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE NEED TO BRAKE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AFTER SECOND OCCURRENCE AND LEFT FOR 24+ HOURS. THEY ACTED AS IFF THAT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED UNLESS I WERE TOO CLOSE TO SOMETHING -- THEY'D NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. THEY TEST DROVE FOR 13 MILES, AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR FOR THEM. NOTHING PROBLEMATIC SHOWED UP ON DIAGNOSTICS. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. I DISABLED THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP.
Other or unspecified, Aug 5, 2019
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS TOO CLOSE TO THE CENTER CONSOLE AND THIS RESULTS IN AN INABILITY TO ROTATE YOUR FOOT EASILY AND ENGAGE THE BRAKE, ONE INSTEAD MUST SLIDE ONES LEG AND FOOT CLEAR OF THAT BELL HOUSING REARWARDS, THEN PUSH FORWARD AND ENAGE THE BRAKE SLOPPILY, IT SLOWS DOWN BRAKING BY ABOUT A SECOND WHICH IS DANGEROUS, AND THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD YOUR SHOE SOUL WILL CATCH THE BRAKE EDGE AND PREVENT BRAKING. ONES LEG AND FOOT FEEL TRAPPED AGAINST THE CENTER CONSOLE HOUSING. I BELIEVE THIS DESIGN DIFFERS FROM 2016 AND BEFORE ACCORDS, AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT SLOWS YOUR BRAKE REFLEX DOWN AND REQUIRES MULTIPLE RELOCATIONS OF THE HEEL WHICH COULD BLOCK HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND BLOCK ANY BRAKING ALTOGETHER AND THAT COULD LEAD TO MULTIPLE FATALITIES. AT LEAST FOR ME, A 6' TALL MAN IN HIS 60S, THE PEDALS ARE DANGEROUS AND PLACED WRONG. IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT.

WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD 2019(LX) ON JUNE 29, 2019. NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER I.E. ON SATURDAY, JULY 27, 2019 AT 7:49 PM MY HONDA ACCORD STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO UNKNOWN REASON. BEHIND US WAS A TRUCK AND WE WERE AT 70 MPH HIGHWAY, WE WERE ABOUT TO BE HIT EITHER BY THE TRUCK OR BY THE CAR ON THE RIGHT LANE. THANKS TO THE TRUCK DRIVER AND THE PERSON DRIVING THAT SUV WHO STOPPED IN TIME. WE MERELY ESCAPED DEATH LIKE SITUATION. POST THAT I CALLED HONDA ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY ASKED ME TO MOVE TO A SAFE LOCATION AND CALL THEM AGAIN. I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN AND DROVE COUPLE OF MILES WHERE MY CAR FINALLY STOPPED MOVING AND SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. SCARED WE QUICKLY EVACUATED THE CAR AND MOVED TO A SAFE LOCATION AT 8:23 PM. POST THAT COPS CAME TO ASK WHY WE STOPPED THERE, WE EXPLAINED THEM THE SITUATION. WE WERE TOLD TO STOP THE ENGINE AND WAIT THERE TILL THE TOWING CAR ARRIVED. I HAD SO MUCH TRUST IN HONDA AND WE ARE SO TRAUMATIZED WITH THIS SITUATION AND I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HOW THIS HAPPENED. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH TOTAL MILES OF 657 MILES. I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS FROM A BRAND-NEW CAR. WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO ESCAPE DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY. WE WERE EXHAUSTED AND TERRIFIED WITH THIS EVENT. YESTERDAY HONDA SERVICE CENTER COMPANY CALLED AND TOLD THAT THE THE TURBO CHARGER FAILED INTERNALLY, CAUSING OIL TO GO INTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS CAUSED CONTAMINATION OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND DAMAGED THE OXYGEN SENSORS. I AM NOT SURE IF I CAN OR ANYONE CAN TRUST HONDA EVER AGAIN. IF SOMETHING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME OR MY FAMILY WILL HONDA BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. QUESTION IS DO YOU STILL TRUST HONDA ?
