THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL WAS AGGRESSIVELY INJURED BY THE AIR BAG I FEEL THAT SHOULD NOT OF HAPPENED AND I FEEL IT ALSO SHOULD NOT OF GONE OFF THE ACCIDENT WAS MINOR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER (VANN YORK HONDA, (336) 841-6200) INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT MADE NO MENTION THAT THE REMEDY AND PART WERE UNAVAILABLE TO RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR AT THAT TIME. THE CONTACT LATER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY THE CONTACT, BUT THE FAILURE PROGRESSED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I PUSHED ON BRAKES AND IT ACCELERATED REAL FAST I TURN TO RIGHT AND IT HIT A FENCE THEN FENCE ON OTHER SIDE OF ROAD I MADE THIS TURN 3 OR 4 TIMES AND THEN IT WENT THRU A GATE AND HIT THE BACK FENCE AND THE CAR STILL WAS TRYING TO GO CUT OFF KEY.

MY SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED/SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. NOTHING HIT IT; IT JUST SHATTERED. I ASSUME IT'S DUE TO THE HEAT.

IGNITION KEY HAS BEEN HARD TO INSERT AND START THE CAR SINCE WE'VE HAD IT. HAD 12K MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED. KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED EXCEPT BY A LOCKSMITH AND COULD NOT START THE CAR. IGNITION THINKS A KEY IS STILL IN IT EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN REMOVED. TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT.

LED HEADLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS GO OUT AFTER 1 YEAR. BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AT DEALERSHIP. BASED EMAILS OTHER HONDAS TOURING MODELS HAVE HAD SAME ISSUE CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE HEAT SINK IN THE HEADLIGHT.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. 2016 HONDA ACCORD, 9200 MILES. ON 7/14/17 I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY LOCAL DRUGSTORE. I LOCATED A PARKING SPOT, AND WAS SLOWLY TURNING RIGHT TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE WHEN MY ENGINE REVVED, THE CAR ACCELERATED, UP OVER THE CONCRETE CURB, OVER BIKE RACK AND INTO THE SIDE OF THE BRICK BUILDING. BY THIS TIME, BOTH OF MY FEET WERE ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. POLICE WERE CALLED AND AN ACCIDENT REPORT WAS TAKEN. I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA AND THEY ASSIGNED ME A CASE MANAGER, WHO RETURNED MY CALL AND TOOK ALL INFORMATION. HONDA SENT A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE TO EXAMINE THE CAR AT THE BODY SHOP. AFTER THIS THE CASE MANAGER CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW HONDA FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, FOLLOWED BY A LETTER TO CONFIRM THAT. MY FOOT WAS NOT IN THE ACCELERATOR AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. I HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, ACCIDENT REPORT, REPAIR BILL, MEDICAL BILLS. I WILL PROVIDE THESE TO YOU BY MAIL OR FAX. I CANNOT SEEM TO UPLOAD ON THE MOBILE APPLICATION.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF TROUBLE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED. CAR IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN WITHOUT THIS. SHE BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SINCE WE HAD TO GET TO AN EXIT I TOOK OVER. THE STEERING TAKES A LOT OF MUSCLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SMALL STEERING WHEEL. I AM GLAD I WAS WITH HER. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND HONDA HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS IN 2013. THEY GAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 100,000 MILES TO THESE VEHICLES. I EXPECT THE SAME WARRANTY EXTENSION. I HAVE OWNED HONDAS SINCE 1977 AND MANY I HAVE DRIVEN WELL BEYOND 190,000 MILES WITHOUT A PROBLEM LIKE THIS.

YOUR BRAKES FAILED AND AIR BAGS TOO

FRONT DRIVER SIDE LED DRL STRIP WENT OUT AT 51K

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ONLY 20,000 MILES, BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND STOPPED WORKING. THE DAYTIME RUNNING HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT PART OF ANY HONDA WARRANTY DUE. THE DAY TIME RUNNING HEADLIGHT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY A ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR POSSIBLY A DEFECT IN THE HEADLIGHT ITSELF. HONDA IS CHARGING CUSTOMERS WELL OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE EACH HEADLIGHT UNIT WHICH CONTAINS THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS.

Computer failed. Dashboard lights keep going on and off. Checked by a mechanic and confirmed Battery sensor failure. It’s dangerous to drive the car when dashboard lights are on because it doesn’t respond normally to speed paddle or brakes and engine shuts down suddenly.

LED DAYTIMES RUNNING LIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT

FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS WHAT LOOK LIKE HARD WATER SPOTS AND IN THE SUNLIGHT YOU CANNOT HARDLY SEE OUT. THE DEALER HAS SAID THEY ACID CLEANED THIS AND SOME OF IT WAS REMOVED. NOW IT HAS RETURNED MAKING DRIVING INTO THE SUN IMPOSSIBLE. CAR IS ALWAYS IN GARAGE AND IT DOES NOT RAIN IN ALBUQUERQUE SO IT IS SOME KIND OF DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD GLASS. I WILL ASK THE IT BE REPLACED THIS TRIP TO DEALER AS ONLY 9500 MILES.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR NO LONGER LOCK WITH AUTOMATICALLY. THEY REQUIRE MANUAL LOCK OR KEY TO LOCK PROPERLY. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2016 AND BY THE END OF 2017 I HAD TO GET MY DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. IN EARLY 2018 I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN WITH MY DOORS NOT LOCKING. BE THE END OF 2018 BOTH DRIVER DOOR AND DRIVER AIDE PASSENGER DOOR DO NOT LOCK. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM.

ON MAY 29, 2017, I NOTICED AN SLOW OIL LEAKAGE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE SIDE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR AFTER I WENT UNDER THE CAR TO INSPECT BECAUSE THERE WAS A OIL STAIN ON MY DRIVEWAY. THE LEAKAGE WAS LARGE AND IT SPREAD. I NOTICED OIL ON THE BOTTOM SHIELD PROTECTOR OF THE CAR. THE OIL COLOR WAS CLEAR WITH BLACK PARTICLES. THE AREA WAS MOIST. AT THE TIME, MY CAR HAD 6,274 MILES. I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION AND I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE CAR TO ANY HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION. I TOOK THE CAR TO CARSON HONDA WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THEM THAT THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK BETWEEN TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. CARSON HONDA COULD NOT PINPOINT EXACTLY WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM SO THEY PLACED A WHITE SPRAY RESIDUE TO PINPOINT THE LEAK. I RETURNED WITH THE VEHICLE TO LONG BEACH HONDA FOR EVALUATION OF THE LEAK. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT SEE THE LEAK. I MYSELF NOTICED THAT THAT THE WHITE RESIDUE WAS MOIST AND BROWN AND WHITE RESIDUE FROM SITES WHERE IT WAS NOT LEAKING. HONDA CORPORATION WAS RECONTACTED BECAUSE THE LEAK CONTINUE AND WAS ADVISED THAT I CAN ONLY TAKE TO ONE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION ONCE I START THE CASE. I TOLD THEM I WOULD TAKE IT TO NORM REEVES HONDA AND STAY THERE. AT NORM REEVES HONDA, THEY FOUND TRANS/CVT LEAKING OIL. THEY SAID THE ISSUE WAS REPAIR. ON APRIL 23, 2018, I PERFORMED A MOTOR OIL CHANGE AND I SAW A VERY SMALL OIL LEAKAGE ALONG THE AREA SEPARATING THE TRANS AND ENGINE. LEFT ON TO RE-EVALUATE LATER. ON FEB 18, 2019, I WENT UNDER MY CAR TO INSPECT FOR OIL LEAKAGE. THE OIL LEAKAGE HAS CONTINUE AND IS SIMILAR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE LEAKAGE FROM MAY 29, 2017. THERE IS CLEAR OIL LEAKAGE WITH BLACK PARTICLES AND OIL ON THE BOTTOM SHIELD PROTECTOR OF THE CAR. MILES AT THIS TIME 18,999.

VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED 7 SUDDEN ACCELERATION SURGES DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING EVENTS IN WHICH THE VEHICLE IS BEING STOPPED. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE IS SLOWING TO A STOP WHEN IT WILL SUDDENLY, UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SURGE FORWARD AS THE ENGINE REVS. GIVEN THE REPEATED EVENTS THE OPERATOR MUST MAINTAIN VIGILANCE WHEN STOPPING AND BE PREPARED TO MAINTAIN FIRM AND INCREASED BRAKE PRESSURE WHEN THE EVENT OCCURS. THE VEHICLE WAS EVALUATED BY HONDA AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP. NO FAULTS OR PROBLEMS WERE IDENTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE DECLARED PROBLEM FREE. THE EVENTS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. THE EVENTS OCCUR IN PARKING AREAS. THE FIRST EVENT CAUGHT THE OPERATOR BY SURPRISE AND RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE SURGING FORWARD AND IMPACTING A SIGN AT A CURB IN A PARKING AREA IN FRONT OF A BUILDING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP ON MAY 11, 2017.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. IT TENDS TO AT TIMES TO JUST CUT OUT ACCELERATING. WHEN THAT HAPPENS I TRY TO PRESS THE PEDAL AGAIN, NADA, MILLISECONDS PASS AND THE ACCELERATOR WILL TAKE OFF AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. IT'S SCARY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO GET USED TO THE CVT. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. IT HAPPENED ONE TIME WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP. WHILE PLACING THE CAR IN GEAR, NADA.

AT 20,000 MILES ON VEHICLE BRIDGESTONE OEM TIRES BECAME UNSAFE AS STEEL BELTS WERE WARPED, AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE? BRIDGESTONE WHEN CONTACTED STATED THEIR POLICY IS NO WARRANTY ON TIRES UNLESS TREAD IS DOWN TO 4/32 INCH. TIRES STILL HAD 8/32 IN TREAD LEFT. THESE TIRES ARE A HAZARD WAITING TO HAPPEN. HONDA WOULD NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

MY HONDA ACCORD V6 2016 , DURING RAIN TAKES IN WATER. THE VEHICLE STARTING DEVELOPING A FOUL ODOR INSIDE JUST AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND PUDDLES OF WATER UNDER THE REAR SEATS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO BABYLON HONDA IN NEW YORK WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR SEVEN DAYS SAW THE PUDDLES OF WATER, AND CONDUCTED TEST ON THE VEHICLE AND YIELDING NEGATIVE RESULTS. I WAS TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND WHERE THE VEHICLE IS I TAKING WATER FROM. IT'S BEEN A MONTH NOW AND THE VEHICLE IS STARTING TO DEVELOP THE SAME FOUL ODOR AGAIN. LET'S SEE WHAT HONDA HAS TO SAY NOW.

AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON IT OWN. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AS I HAD BRAKED TO TURN LEFT INTO THE SPACE. THE CAR WENT OVER THE CONCRETE PARKING BLOCK AND HIT THE CONCRETE WALL WHICH IS ABOUT 1-2 FEET BEHIND THE BLOCK, THE IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY BUT THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. I PURCHASED THIS ACCORD USED, IN AUGUST, 2016, FROM A LOCAL HONDA/ACURA DEALER & IT HAD APPROX. 9200 MILES ON IT.. AT THE TIME OF THIS EVENT THERE WAS 16,552 MILES ON THE CAR. THE ONLY MAINTENANCE DONE WAS AN OIL CHANGE, AND OUTSIDE OF THE TMP LIGHT, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS HAD COME ON TO PROMPT ME FOR ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR. THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS EVENT WAS SUFFICIENT THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THE CAR TO BE A TOTAL LOSS.

WAS HIT ON MY PASSENGER SIDE, THE ONLY BAGS THAT WENT OFF WERE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE AND THEY DID NOT INFLATE. WAS DRIVING ON A STREET WHEN ANOTHER AUTO LOST CONTROL AND WIPED OUT THE SIDE OF MY CAR.

PURCHASED 2016 ACCORD TOURING IN MAY 2016. IN APRIL 2017 THE CAR WOULD NOT START - APPEARED TO BE A BATTERY ISSUE. HAD THE HONDA ROADSIDE SERVICE COME TO THE HOUSE, THEY JUMP STARTED IT, TOLD TO LET IT RUN/DRIVE IT FOR 1/2 HOUR. DID THAT. WENT SHOPPING AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN ELECTRONICS WENT CRAZY, WIPERS WENT ON THEIR OWN AND THE STOP BUTTON WOULD NOT TURN OFF THE CAR. HAD IT JUMPED AGAIN BY HONDA ROADSIDE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY - SAID IT HAD A BAD CELL IN IT, SAID THERE WERE NO TECH SVC BULLETINS ON THE CAR AND SAID THERE WERE 100'S OF GROUND WIRES IN THIS CAR THAT MAY CAUSE A PROBLEM W/BATTERY PREMATURE FAILURE.

I PURCHASE A 2016 HONDA ACCORD ON 10/29/2016 AND SINCE I'VE HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE LIGHTING AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM!!! 1 WK AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAN ALL THE FONT LIGHTS WENT OUT ON THE CAR AS WELL AS THE PHONE SYSTEM WITH THE CONNECTION TO THE BLUTOOTH HAS A SHORTAGE THE ONLY ISSUE REPAIRED WAS THE LIGHTING ON THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS THE INSIDE LIGHTS WAS NEVER REPAIRED !!! ALSO THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT STOPPING AS SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROPERLY STOPPING ON INSTANT STOP!!! I HAVE MADE SUDDEN STOPS WHICH LEAD ME TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM LOCKING UP AND THE CAR EITHER SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL ON THE BRAKES LOCKING UP AND SLIDING A COMPLETE CAR LENGTH BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP!!! UNTIL THIS ON DAY ON 4/07/17 ATTEMPTING. TO MAKE A COMPLETE SUDDEN STOP ONLY LEAVING ME SLIDING A CAR LENGTH PLUS SMASHING INTO THE BACK OF A PICK UP TRUCK,,, WITH THE FRONT END OF THIS 2016 HONDA ACCORD POSSIBLY TOTAL,,, I CALL THE HONDA ASSOCIATION SPEAKING TO [XXX] AND DUE TO INSURANCE NOT PAYING HONDA REFUSED TO SEND THIS INSPECTORS OUT ,,, AND PROCEEDING TO INFORM ME THAT THEY HAVE SENT A NOTICE OUT!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM WOULD BE DEACTIVATED, BUT WOULD INDEPENDENTLY REACTIVE WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 65 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE GAUGES AND WARNING INDICATORS WOULD FLICKER ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. FAILURE MILAGE WAS 10,000. *TT

I WAS TRAVELING I-24 EASTBOUND ON THE FINAL LEG OF A 650 MILE TRIP. IT WAS ABOUT 8:30- 8:45 ET. I WAS PASSING THROUGH MARION COUNTY NEAR MONTEAGLE (TN) WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS DIMMED SO THAT I COULD NOT SEE. (THE HEADLIGHTS WERE IN THE "AUTO" POSITION TO COME ON AS DARKNESS DESCENDED.) WITHIN MINUTES, ALL INTERIOR DASHBOARD LIGHTS FAILED ALSO. I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH THROUGH THIS VERY DANGEROUS MOUNTAIN PASS WITH NO INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR LIGHTS IN THE DARK IN AN UNLIT RURAL AREA, CARS PASSING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I PUT ON MY FLASHERS SO THAT APPROACHING CARS COULD DETECT MY PRESENCE AND NOT RUN OVER ME. THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS APPEARED TO BE WORKING BUT I QUICKLY REALIZED AS A PICKUP TRUCK APPROACHED MY REAR END AT ABOUT 75 MPH. THAT THE DRIVER COULD NOT SEE ME. AT THE LAST SECOND, HE SWERVED INTO THE LEFT LANE. TWO MORE CARS NEARLY RAN INTO ME SO I KNEW THE FLASHERS WERE NOT WORKING EITHER. I HAD NO IDEA OF HOW FAST I WAS GOING BECAUSE I COULD NOT READ THE SPEEDOMETER. TRIED TO ADJUST THE LIGHTS WITH NO SUCCESS. NO BRIGHT LIGHTS EITHER. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO EXIT AT A RURAL PLACE WITH A FIREWORKS STORE, BUT IT WAS CLOSED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR; I WAS TERRIFIED. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS CAME BACK ON BUT NO DASH LIGHTS. A MAN LEAVING THE STORE GAVE ME A HIGH POWER FLASHLIGHT TO PUT ON THE DASH TO ENABLE ME TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER. I DROVE 10-12 MILES BEFORE I GOT TO LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN AND WAS ABLE TO GET A HOTEL ROOM. I DROVE TO ECONOMY HONDA IN CHATTANOOGA, TN THE NEXT MORNING. AFTER EXAMINING MY NEW ACCORD (<6600 MILES, PURCHASED NEW IN OCTOBER 2016) FOR A WEEK, HONDA WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. IN FACT, ACCORDING TO HONDA, THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THAT AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE OCCURRED AT ALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM VERY UPSET & CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

THE REAR WINDOW GLASS HAS WAVE IN IT THAT MAKES VISIBILITY POOR AND THE VIEW IS DISTORTED.

I HAVE HONDA SENSORING ON MY 2016 ACCORD SPORT. I DRIVE A WINDING ROAD EVERY DAY AND WHEN I GO AROUND A CURVE THE SENSORING ACTIVATES MY BRAKING SYSTEM WHICH SLAMS THE BRAKES, IT IS VERY UNEXPECTED AND STARTLING . I TURN OFF MY SENSORING BUT EVERY SO OFTEN IT HAPPENS EVEN WITH IT OFF. ALSO THERE IS APART OF THE ROAD I DRIVE ON EVERYDAY IT CURVES BEFORE CROSSING A BRIDGE FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON THE SENSORING WILL ACTIVATE AND STEER ME TO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE OTHER DAY I ALMOST HIT A BIG RIG. AND LIKE THE BRAKING SYSTEM IT IS NOT ALL OF THE TIME. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE SENSORING IS GOING TO CAUSE ME TO CRASH. THE GOOD THING IS I CAN OVER POWER THE SYSTEM AND I AM A EXPERIENCED DRIVER. HOWEVER I AM BEGINNING TO TEACH MY CHILD TO DRIVE AND I AM AFRAID SOMETHING DEVASTATING MIGHT HAPPEN.

PURCHASED MY COUPE IN NOVEMBER 2016 BRAND NEW. I HAVE LESS THAN 8600 MILES ON IT. THE OTHER NIGHT MY CAR WENT INTO COMPLETE SHUTDOWN, COMPLETELY DEAD. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE MAIN FUSE. WHY WOULD THE MAIN FUSE BLOW ON BRAND NEW CAR? THAT VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TRAFFIC.

THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE BY THE DEALERSHIP. WE ARE NOT LEAVING ANYTHING ON. COULD IT BE THE ALTERNATOR?

INTERMITTENTLY STARTS. WILL ONLY START WHEN USING PUSH START 75% OF THE TIME. OTHER 25% THERE IS A WINDING AND GRINDING SOUND. MUST REPEAT PUSH START 5 TO 6 TIMES BEFORE IGNITION WILL FIRE. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY WHILE VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION. STARTER WILL NOT FIRE THE ENGINE AND MAY BE SHORTING OUT OR IS HUNG UP OR MISS FIRING. SMELLS OF HEATED PLASTIC NOTED DURING AND AFTER MISS FIRE.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I BEGAN HAVING INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. I TURN THE KEY TO START AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT ACTIVATE THE STARTER. NOW, THE ISSUE HAS WORSENED TO THE POINT IT MAY START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT, OR REQUIRE 10 OR MORE ATTEMPTS BEFORE POWER TO THE STARTER IS ACHIEVED. BEING A RETIRED MECHANIC IT ACTS LIKE THERE IS A LOOSE WIRE OR GROUND AT THE STARTER. TALKING WITH HONDA, MY WARRENTY HAS EXPIRED (3 YEAR/36,000 MILE) AND THEY REQUIRE OVER $100 TO DIAGNOSIS THE ISSUE. RESEARHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL HONDA OWNERS WITH THE EXACT ISSUE. THEY ALL STATE THAT HONDA CORRECTED THE ISSUE BY REPLACING THE STARTER. I PURCHASED MY HONDA WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF IT TO BE A RELIABLE VEHICLE. NOW, 56,000 MILES LATER (MAJORITY ARE HIGHWAY MILES) I NEED TO REPLACE THE STARTER? THE FACT IS, I HAVE MAINTAINED FLEETS OF VEHICLES, GAS AND DIESEL, AND I FIND THE NEED TO REPLACE THE STARTER PREMATURE AND LUDICROUS! WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ, THERE IS NO REASON THAT THERE IS NOT AND HAS NOT BEEN A HONDA STARTER RECALL/GOOD FAITH WARRANTY FOR WHAT I WOULD CLAIM TO BECOME PREMATURALY DEFECTIVE. FURTHER MORE, IN MY OPINION THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE COULD EVOLVE INTO A FIRE HAZARD.

2016 ACCORD SPORT HAD BOTH LED LIGHT STRIPS GO OUT. I HAVE WITNESSED THIS ON ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THAT YEARS MODEL. I HAVE ALSO SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND SOME WERE EVEN DURING LEASE MILEAGE! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THESE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE NOT UNDER RECALL. HONDA WILL NOT KEEP THAT CONTINUED CUSTOMER LOYALTY AND RETURN FROM CUSTOMERS WITH ISSUES LIKE THIS. I LEASED THIS VEHICLE AT A PURCHASE COST OF $27,000! IT IS ALMOST $1000 EACH TO REPLACE THESE STRIPS AS THE ENTIRE LIGHT HOUSING ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX JUST THIS PART OF THE LIGHTS? THIS IS A HUGE DESIGN FLAW ON HONDA'S PART! AND TO EXPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THESE REPAIRS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN FLAW BECAUSE THESE LIGHTS DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION OF BEING TURNED OFF WITH THE REGULAR LIGHTS. THESE ARE FORCED TO RUN NONSTOP FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. HONDA'S DESIGN ENGINEERS HAVE CREATED AN EXPENSIVE FLAW THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL!!! WE ARE ALL RECONSIDERING WHETHER THAT HONDA QUALITY IS LIVING UP TO ITS NAME ANYMORE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE OUT OF LEASE (3 YEARS LATER) AND STILL HAVE A $26K VEHICLE WITH NO WORKING DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS BECAUSE I REFUSE TO SINK $2K IN REPLACING A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN FLAW. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT ON ALL ACCOUNTS AND REPLACED BY HONDA. HOW MANY CUSTOMERS WILL CONTINUE TO BE RETURNING CUSTOMERS IF THEY HAVE TO REPLACE $2K IN LIGHTS EVERY COUPLE THOUSAND MILES? SPEND $2 K THEN TURN AROUND AND DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE?? NO THANKS. MINE WENT OUT DURING YEAR 2 (2017). HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP. VERY UNHAPPY THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HEAVY AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN IT TO ANY DIRECTION. THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WAS TRAVELING AT VERY SLOW SPEED (20 MILES/H) ON A VERY CALM STREET. SO I COULD MANAGE TO STOP ON THE SHOULDER. I TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER SOME SECONDS I TURN ON THE ENGINE AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN. THE FACT IS THAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY CERTAINLY THE OUTCOME WOULD BE AN SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

TRUNK OPENS BY ITSELF WITHOUT ANY INTERACTION FROM THE KEY FOB. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN THE PAST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY RESIDENCE TEMPERATURES WERE BETWEEN 40 AND 70 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT ON THE DAYS IT HAPPENED.

VEH MAKING WEIRD SOUNDS COMING FROM RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AREA. "CRACKING, POPPING, SQUEAKING" DEALERSHIP FIXED IT AND CONTINUES, NEXT WEEK DEALERSHIP STATED THEY WOULD ORDER MORE PARTS TO REPAIR IT. THEN THEY FOUND WHEN THEY WENT TO FIX IT THE SECOND TIME THAT THE FRAME WAS BENT AND BROKEN WITH RUST AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPAIR WITHOUT REPAIRING THE SUSPENSION FIRST. THE COST TO ME $2,700.00.

HONDA ACCORD V6 I HAVE A 2011 AND 2016 ACCORD V6...WHEN THE ROAD IS WET (RAIN OR LIGHT SNOW) OR SIGNIFICANT WIND, THE CARS ARE ALL OVER THE ROAD, WHEN I HAVE BROUGHT THE CARS BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF, CHARGE ME FOR REALIGNMENT, AND SAY I AM ALL SET. 4 OR MORE TIMES BACK WITH CARS I HAVE BOUGHT NEW, AND EVERY TIME I AM TRAVELING OVER 65 MPH I FEEL I COULD CRASH AT ANY TIME. THE DEALERSHIP ACTS LIKE I AM CRAZY. WHEN I DO NET SEARCHES IT SEEMS ALL OTHER OWNERS HAVE BEEN SILENCED. ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM? I DRIVE TONS OF MILES AND KNOW CARS PRETTY WELL

TRANSMISSION( CVT) VIBRATES AROUND 20 TO 45 MPH. REAR WINDOW IS DISTORTED. (WAVY VISION THROUGH WINDOW)

DRIVER-SIDE SIDE-VIEW MIRROR IS SPLIT INTO A FLAT AND CONVEX PARTS. THIS IS EYE-STRESS INDUCING AND IS NOT NATURAL TO LOOK AT. PLEASE REPLACE WITH PROPER BLIND SPOT SYSTEM.

I AM UNABLE TO START MY CAR AFTER IT SITS FOR TEN DAYS TO TWO WEEKS OR MORE. THE BATTERY GOES DEAD AND MY FAMILY AND I ARE LEFT POTENTIALLY STRANDED. MY WIFE AND I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY AND RETURN TO A CAR THAT WON'T START DUE TO A PARASITIC DRAW ON THE BATTERY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE FLYING HOME, TAKING THE BUS TO THE PARKING LOT AT THE AIRPORT AT 11:00 PM, GOING TO YOUR CAR AND FINDING A DEAD BATTERY WHICH PUTS OUR SAFETY IN PERIL. I TOOK MY CAR TO ONEIL HONDA IN OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS. THEY CHARGED THE BATTERY AND CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE. I ASKED ABOUT WHY THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NOW NORMAL WITH THE NEW HONDA ACCORDS DUE TO THE PARASITIC DRAW ON THE BATTERY WHEN THE CAR ISN'T RUNNING WHICH ULTIMATELY DRAINS THE BATTERY TO A POINT WHERE IT WON'T START. HAVING BEEN AN AUTO MECHANIC IN MY YOUNGER DAYS I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EARS. I CALLED ANOTHER HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN THE KANSAS CITY AREA AND RECEIVED THE SAME COMMENT. THEN I PHONED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN SAN ANTONIO WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND AGAIN, WAS PROVIDED THE SAME INFORMATION.... "THIS IS NOW WHAT I CAN EXPECT ON MY NEW ACCORD, IF IT SITS FOR TEN DAYS OR TWO WEEKS THEN THE BATTERY WILL DIE". THE PARASITIC DRAW ON THE BATTERY IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND I IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND I ASKED THAT YOU INTERVENE. I TRIED TO ADDRESS THIS WITH HONDA AMERICA BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL WITH THE AGENT ON THE PHONE. I EVEN ASKED HER TO PICK A DEALER IN SAN ANTONIO, ANY DEALER, GET THEIR SERVICE MANAGER ON THE PHONE WITH US AND LETS SEE IF HE / SHE GIVES US A SIMILAR RESPONSE REGARDING THE PARASITIC DRAW. SHE REFUSED. NOW I FEEL THAT I NEED YOUR HELP. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE LAST FALL AND IT HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I WILL INDICATE AN APPROXIMATE DATE OF MY INITIAL VISIT / DISCUSSION WITH THE FIRST HONDA DEALER.

"TAKATA RECALL" LETTER RECEIVED FROM HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION , TORRANCE, CA. IN REFERENCE TO BATTERY SENSOR CASE MOUNTED ON TOP THE 12V BATTERY, COULD CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOT AND A FIRE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPY WITH MY HONDA BECAUSE OF THE ROAD NOISE. TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS FINALLY ADVISED IT WAS A DEFECT AND COULD NOT BE FIXED. I PAID CASH AND WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN. I WISH I COULD RETURN IT. I CANNOT HEAR ANYONE IN THE BACK SEAT WHILE DRIVING
