2016 Honda Accord Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH APPROACHING A METAL PLATE, THE COLLISION WARNING INDICATOR ILUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND VEHICLE STOPPED BEHIND THE METAL PLATE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILAGE WAS 3,300. ...UPDATED 01/23/17 *BF *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND FAILED. THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT AND BECAME LODGED BETWEEN TWO VEHICLES WITHOUT WARNING. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,768.

I EXPERIENCE EXCRUCIATING PAIN WHEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES IN MY NEW HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6. I CANNOT FIND A COMFORTABLE POSITION IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, DESPITE HAVING TRIED EVERY ADJUSTMENT: FORWARD / BACK, UP/DOWN, ANGLE THE SEAT, ADJUST THE LUMBER SUPPORT, ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL. I WENT TO A BODY WORKER TWICE THIS WEEK TO ALLEVIATE THE PAIN IN MY LOWER AND UPPER BACK AND LEGS. I HAVE DRIVEN VARIOUS CARS FOR 40 PLUS YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH SEATS, UNTIL NOW. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I JUST SPENT $33,000 ON A VEHICLE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RELIABLE AND COMFORTABLE, BUT I SIMPLY CANNOT BE IN SUCH PAIN. THE CAR NOW HAS 1,100 MILES ON IT, AND I GUESS THAT I NEED TO SELL IT BACK TO THE DEALER OR TO A PRIVATE PARTY, FOR A LOSS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR

I WENT TO A BODY WORKER YESTERDAY BECAUSE MY LOWER AND UPPER BACK AND LEGS WERE IN SUCH PAIN. I TRIED PLACING PILLOWS AND TOWELS IN STRATEGIC PLACES, AND I JUST ORDERED A VARIETY OF LUMBAR SUPPORT / CUSHIONS TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE THE PAIN. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I JUST SPENT $33,000 FOR THIS CAR AND CANNOT DRIVE IT FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES BEFORE EXPERIENCING EXCRUCIATING PAIN. I HAVE JUST OVER 1,100 MILES ON IT AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I TRIED ADJUSTING THE DRIVER SEAT POSITIONS: FORWARD/BACK, UP/DOWN, ANGLED/LEVELED THE SEAT, ADJUSTED THE LUMBER SUPPORT TO MORE/LESS PRONOUNCED POSITIONS, WITHOUT FINDING A POSITION THAT ALLEVIATES THE PAIN. ALSO, WHEN I TRY TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEE IF ARM POSITION MIGHT BE PART OF THE PROBLEM, IT LANDS EITHER HIGH, OR IF I LOWER IT, THE WHEEL BLOCKS THE SPEEDOMETER IN THE RANGE 55-85 MI/HR. MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE, A DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, HAD WONDERFUL SEATS. I THOUGHT I WAS "MOVING ON UP" WITH A RELIABLE HONDA ACCORD.IN FACT, I NEVER HAD A COMFORT PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST 40 YEARS. PLEASE HELP ME FIND A SOLUTION. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY DAUGHTER'S CAR, I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND I HIT THE PUSH BUTTON STOP TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. AS I BEGAN TO EXIT THE CAR, IT STARTED TO ROLL. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO REPOSTION MY SELF TO PLACE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY. I REALIZE THAT I NEED TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. HOWEVER, THIS PUSH BUTTON TECHNOLOGY PRESENTS A SIGIFICANT HAZARD THAT SHOULD HAVE A BETTER SAFETY FEATURE. HOW ABOUT REQUIRING THAT THE EMERGENCY BREAK BE AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR? A FEATURE LIKE THIS COULD PREVENT NEEDLESS INJURIES AND DAMAGE. ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS PUSH BUTTON START/STOP TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT ADEQUATE SAFETY FEATUTES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CONSUMERS SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY WARNED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, IT EXPERIENCED INDEPENDENT ACCELERATION AND CRASHED INTO A STEEL CABLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000.

MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY. HAVE TAKEN TO HONDA SEVERAL TIMES. EVERY TIME THEY THINK THEY FIX IT. IT COMES BACK ON. IT IS REALLY ANNOYING AND CLEARLY NOT WORKING. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO KEEP GOING TO HONDA FOR A PROBLEM THEY CAN NOT FIX. USUALLY TAKES 50 TO 100 MILES AFTER TAKING IT IN TO HONDA FOR LIGHT TO COME BACK ON [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WITHOUT WARNING COMPLETE POWER STEERING LOSS ON HIGHWAY EXIT. CAR FIXED AT DEALER, STEERING FAILURE AGAIN LESS THAN 24HRS AFTER IT WAS 'FIXED'. SO TWO STEERING FAILURES IN COUPLE DAYS.

I PURCHASED A HONDA ACCORD SPORT SEDAN 2016 ON JUNE 22, 2016. I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2016 AND THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND I RECEIVED A SECOND DEGREE BURN TO MY LEFT HAND AND IT BURNED THROUGH MY LEFT SLEEVE ON MY ZIP UP SWEATER.

TIRE NOISE AND VIBRATION. BUBBLE IN SIDEWALL

REAR VIEW CAMERA IS TOTALLY USELESS IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE IS A MIX OF BRIGHT SUNLIGHT AND SHADE CONDITIONS. THE DYNAMIC RANGE OF THE CAMERA ISN'T LARGE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT IS BEHIND YOU. YOU GET A BLOWN OUT PICTURE WITH NO DETAIL IN THE SUNLIT AREAS AND BLACKS IN THE SHADE AREAS. I'VE HAD OTHER CARS WITH BACKUP CAMERA SYSTEMS AND THIS IS THE WORST EXCUSE FOR ONE I'VE EVER SEEN.

LUMBAR SUPPORT ON DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CAUSES LOWER BACK PAIN, NUMBNESS AND TINGLING. POOR ERGONOMICS / DESIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE REVERSING AT APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH, THE REAR BUMPER ON THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S BUMPER WAS BENT INWARDLY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,500.

WHILE PARALLEL PARKING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE STEERING BECAME STIFF, TO THE POINT THAT THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT BE TURNED.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG INTERSTATE MY SUNROOF EXPLODED SHOWERING GLASS ON THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME AND SCARING ME AS THE SOUND WAS SO LOUD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

WHEN I STOP AND WANT TO TAKE OF FAST ACCELERATOR PEDAL DOES NOT RESPOND . I THINK THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES

THE REAR WINDOW IS DISTORTED WHICH PREVENTS A CLEAR AND ACCURATE VIEW OF ALL OBJECTS BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THIS DISTORTION AFFECTS THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW AND IT CAUSES THE OBJECTS VIEWED THROUGH THE WINDOW TO BE WAVY AND DISTORTED. ITS EFFECTS ARE MAGNIFIED IN WET WEATHER AND AT NIGHT. THE DISTORTION PREVENTS THE OPERATOR FROM ACCURATELY JUDGING THE SIZE, SPEED AND DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THE DISTORTION OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND STATIONARY.

WHEN YOU PUT THE GEAR ON R. REVIER CAMERA IS NOT FUNCTIONAL IN SUNNY DAY WHEN THE SHADE IS ON THE BUMPER. YOU CANNOT TELL WHERE IS THE BAMPER AND WHERE IS THE SHADE. YOU CAN HIT THE AOBJECT OR PERSON BEHIND THE CAR USING THIS CAMERA. SEE PICTURES.

THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH DISTORTED GLASS BEING USED IN THE REAR WINDOWS OF 2016 HONDA ACCORDS. LOOKING THROUGH THE REAR WINDOW OF MY ACCORD SPORT, VEHICLES AND ESPECIALLY LANE MARKINGS APPEAR OUT OF FOCUS AND WAVY. THE PROBLEM IS EVEN WORSE IN RAINY CONDITIONS. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE PROXIMITY OF VEHICLES BEHIND ME, ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. HONDA'S DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WITHOUT EVEN ASKING TO SEE MY CAR. HE CALLED IT "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE ACCORDS AND CLAIMED THEY ALL HAVE VARYING LEVELS OF DISTORTION. HOWEVER, HONDA REFUSED TO OFFER A REPLACEMENT WINDOW.

SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2016 HAS BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES, ALMOST EVERYDAY NO START CONDITION. NEEDS TO BE JUMPED EVERYDAY. HAD THE DASH BOARD FUSE BLOWN WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF PURCHASE OF THE CAR, HAD BATTERY REPLACED WITHIN 9 MONTHS OF PURCHASE AND HAD ALTERNATOR TESTED. SINCE THE TRANSMISSION RECALL ROUGH IDLE ON DRIVE AND RPMS LOWER THEN WHAT NORMALLY WERE. NO RECALL AS OER VIN FOR BATTERY SENSOR BUT THERES SOME SERIOUS ISSUE CAR WANTS TO STALL WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES. SOMETING SERIOUSLY WRONG. RANDOMLY STEERING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE LIGHY COMES ON AND GOES OFF

BLUETOOTH DEFECT. SINCE NEW PURCHASE IN 2016 VEHICLE BLUETOOTH IS NOT COMPATIBLE FOR I PHONE 7 MAKING THE HANDS FREE FUNCTION UN USABLE AND A VERY BAD DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING. THE DEALER REACTION TO ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM WAS "NOTHING WE CAN DO TILL HONDA UPDATES TECH KNOWLEDGE. FOR WHAT EVER REASON HONDA HAS NOT UPDATED SYSTEM TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH NEWER PHONE/S. I FEAR DO TO HONDAS SLOW OR NO RESPONSE TO ISSUE A TRAGEDY FOR SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WILL BE INEVITABLE, AND IT IS A SITUATION THAT HONDA OR NHTSA SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE AVOIDED WITH A SIMPLE UPDATE ON THE ACCORD, AND FROM WHAT I READ, OTHER MODELS. IF HONDA WON'T MAKE THIS RIGHT, HOPEFULLY THE NHTSA CAN FORCE THEM TO FIX THIS POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000. UPDATED 01/25/17*LJ UPDATED 7/12/18*JB *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW WAS DISTORTED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VISION WAS OBSCURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR WINDOW WAS DISTORTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE HONDA INFORMED THE DEALER NOT TO REPLACE THE WINDOW BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE NEW EQUIPMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70. UPDATED 01/06/17*LJ UPDATED 7/13/18*JB

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I HAD TO TAKE MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD FOR A "SRS " AIR BAG (P2801 CODE) TOTAL INTERAL FAILURE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED UNIT AND CLEARED DTCS. SEAT BELTS WERE BUCKLED BUT SYSTEM WOULD NOT REGISTER AS BEING BUCKLED. PRETTY SCARY STUFF CONSIDERING THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR AN HAVE CHILDREN WITHIN CAR EVERYDAY..

THE REAR WINDOW IS DISTORTED WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH IT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S SUNNY OR RAINING OUT IT LOOKS ALL WAVY. IT ALSO DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHETHER THE WINDOW IS TINTED OR NOT. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND YOU CANNOT SEE OTHER VEHICLES CLEARLY WHILE LOOKING THROUGH YOUR REARVIEW MIRROR. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS SO I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING HUNDRED NEEDS TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT OCCURS IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 575. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TMPS NOTIFIED ME THAT MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. I HAD TIRE PLUGGED AND I THOUGHT REPAIRED. THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO RESET THE TMPS SYSTEM . ONE MUST DRIVE AT SPEEDS 30 TO 60 MPH AT LEAST 30 MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM TO RECALIBRATE . I ONLY WAS DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES FOR NOT I'M LONG AMOUNT OF TIME SO I WAS UNAWARE THAT THERE ACTUALLY STILL WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY TIRE AND WAS DRIVING AROUND WITH EXTREMELY LOW TIRE PRESSURE . IF I HAD A MANUAL RESET BUTTON I WOULD BE AWARE RIGHT AWAY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ANY MANUAL RESET BUTTON SHOULD BE PUT ON THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT RENTED A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT CRASHED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM.

Vehicle entertainment center constantly is crashing and will not restart until vehicle is restarted. Made multiple attempts with different Honda dealerships to remedy issue and Honda can’t replicate issue.

THE ACCORD 2016 MODEL HAS A VERY BAD DISTORTION IN THE BACK WINDSHIELD - WHERE ONE HEADLIGHT/LIGHT WILL BE REFLECTED/SHOWN AS MULTIPLE. IT IS WORSE AT NIGHT, AND IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH. THE PICTURES REFLECT (TO A MINIMUM) HOW IT APPEARS. IT IS A HUGE DISTRACTION BECAUSE THERE ARE LIGHTS EVERYWHERE WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR REARVIEW MIRROR, AND ALSO IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT IS NOT ACCURATE AS TO WHERE THE EXACT LIGHT IS COMING FROM. IT SEEMS TO BE FROM THE DEFROSTER LINES, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED BEFORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. WITHIN SECONDS OF STOPPING, FLAMES EMITTED UNDER THE HOOD AND EVENTUALLY SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL THE FRAME IS CORRODED, THE SUSPENSION VEERS TO THE LEFT, WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT PROVIDE VISABILITY, EMISSION PROBLEMS, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, FRONT END ALIGNMENT OFF, DOES NOT HAVE DOOR LOCK, DOES NOT ACCELERATE PAST 60, CAR SHAKES

HONDA QUALITY PROBLEMS. WE BOUGHT A 2016 HONDA ACCORD IN JANUARY. AFTER FEW MONTHS THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION ALL OF A SUDDEN AND COMES TO A LOW SPEED (0-5 MPH) WITHIN SECONDS. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES. FIRST TIME - THE DEALER SAID THAT HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR SECOND TIME - AS PER HONDA TECH, THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHIP IN THE COMPUTER IS THE PROBLEM. SO THEY SAID THAT THE SOFTWARE IN THE COMPUTER NEEDED UPGRADE (STRANGE.. IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR. AND WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ONLY ONE CAR. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE WITH OTHER CARS PRODUCED AT THE SAME TIME). THIRD TIME - AS PER HONDA TECH, THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATION KIT AS THEY THOUGHT THAT IS THE PROBLEM. FOURTH TIME - NOW THEY THINK THE WIRING IS THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THAT. EVERY TIME, I DROVE THAT CAR TRUSTING THEM, I RISKED MY LIFE. I AVOIDED ACCIDENT 8 TIMES ON FREEWAY FROM BEING REAR ENDED. I DROVE INTO THE CENTRAL DITCH ON THE FREEWAY AND INJURED MY SHOULDER. I AM ON MEDICATION FOR THE PAST 1+ MONTH. I AM WORRIED THAT I DRIVE THIS CAR AND AM GOING TO DIE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AROUND A BEND AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE PHONE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK, RIGHT ARM, AND LEFT KNEE THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106.

CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM DEALERSHIP IN FORT SMITH, AR. UPON INSPECTION 10 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. (MILES: 502) VEHICLE UNDERCARRIAGE AND SUSPENSION HAD SIGNIFICANT RUST AND OXIDIZATION DAMAGE. IN THIS REGION OF THE UNITED STATES- RUST IS VERY UNCOMMON IF NOT EVER PRESENT, MUCH LESS, ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO WORK WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIM TO HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL EFFORTS AND HAVE DONE ALL "REPAIRS" THEY INTEND TO DO. THE WORK DONE WAS ONLY SURFACE REMOVAL AND SINCE THEN, A REAR OIL LEAK HAS DEVELOPED AND THE BACK SEAT DOOR PANELS HAVE SEPARATED FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROCESS, JUNE 3, 2016. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNBELIEVABLE THAT A BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAS THIS EXTENT OF RUST DAMAGE. I AM A MECHANIC WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE ON A VEHICLE, LET ALONE A NEW PURCHASE. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WOULD EVEN BE AN ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BEFORE PURCHASE. BECAUSE OF IT BEING A NEW VEHICLE, WHO WOULD HAVE EXPECTED THIS PROBLEM FROM A TRUSTED VEHICLE BRAND SUCH AS HONDA?! I HAVE MADE SURE TO DOCUMENT THIS THOROUGHLY AND HAVE MORE THAN 70 PHOTOS FOR YOUR REVIEW. PLEASE CONTACT ME ANYTIME FOR THOSE OR ANY ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION YOU MIGHT NEED.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR IS THE WORST IDEA IN THE WORLD HOW IS IT THAT NO ONE IS NOT ABLE TO SEE JUST HOW BAD/DANGEROUS THAT MIRROR IS I HAVE HAD THREE CLOSE CALLS COUNT THEM THREE IN ONE DAY OF DRIVING IN HI TRAFFIC I NEED THIS REPLACED.

DRIVER'S SEAT IS POORLY DESIGNED. AFTER SITTING/DRIVING FOR A WHILE, LEG NUMBS....POOR LUMBER SUPPORT CAUSING BACK PAIN AND LEG NUMBNESS.

LATELY, I DECIDED NOT TO DRIVE MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD ON THE HIGHWAY FOR SAFETY PRECAUTION UNTIL THE HONDA DEALERSHIP DOES SOMETHING ABOUT MY CAR. I DON'T HAVE FULL CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL ABOUT 40 MPH. I TOOK BACK FOUR TIMES, THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC SAW NOTHING WRONG. I KNOW IT IS STEERING ISSUE. ONE WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR A WHILE TO ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM THAT AM HAVING WITH IT. I WILL TAKE IT BACK AFTER THE HOLIDAY FOR A REPLACEMENT. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER I WILL NOT KEEP ON DRIVING A CAR WHICH REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND OTHERS. THE PROBLEM IS FELT ON BOTH, THE CITY STREET AND THE HIGHWAY.

2016 HONDA ACCORD EX - 100 MILES DRIVEN. THE PARTITION/SPLIT IN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR DISTORTS THE VIEW WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE APPROACHING VEHICLES. THE MIRROR IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP WITH A REGULAR MIRROR. NOT SURE HOW HONDA'S ENGINEERS COULD DEVELOP SUCH A DANGEROUS MIRROR.

THE SPLIT IN THE DRIVERSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRIOR IS DECEIVING U CANNOT SEE TRAFFIC ON COMING VERY WELL ON DRIVER SIDE I WANT TO RIP IT OUT AND REPLACE THE MIRROR GLASS VERY UNSAFE.

I HAD 2 INCIDENTS OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON MAY 5, 2016 WITH MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD EX. I DROVE MY CAR IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX 10:30 PM MAY 5, 2016 TO PAY RENT,DROVE CAR HOME A FEW BLOCKS. I PUT CAR IN POSITION TO BACK INTO PARKING SPACE. CAR IN REVERSE. CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST, MY CAR WENT FLYING OVER THE CURB, GRASS, SIDEWALK. PUT CAR INTO DRIVE FROM REVERSE TO STOP CAR - IT ACCELERATED AGAIN! CAR SHOT STRAIGHT INTO COURT. I PUT BOTH FEET ON BRAKE PEDAL - MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON (GIRL WALKING DOG WITNESSED THIS). CAR WAS FLYING - I HAD NOWHERE TO GO - 3 APT BUILDINGS ON LEFT - 20 CARS PARKED ON RIGHT SIDE. I USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP CAR - SINCE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW CAR DOWN. I WAS ABOUT TO HIT TREE HEAD ON - I SAW LAST PARKING SPACE EMPTY. I SWERVED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT, PULLED HARD ON EMERGENCY BRAKE AND STOPPED.. THE ENGINE MADE TERRIBLE NOISE, BURNING OIL, BURNING RUBBER FROM TIRES I HAD EXPERIENCED RUNAWAY CAR OR SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION IN THE ELECTRONICS THAT CONTROL VEHICLE POWERTRAIN. SINCE INTRODUCING ELECTRONICS INTO THROTTLE CONTROL, CASES OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAVE RISEN DRAMATICALLY. SUDDEN ACCELERATION IS OFTEN REPORTED IN BRAND NEW VEHICLES LIKE MINE. THERE IS NO "PROOF" OF THIS - AT HONDA SHOP - UNLESS ENGINEER CALLED IN, WHICH HONDA WON'T DO. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS. ONCE THIS HAPPENS - IT WILL DEFINITELY HAPPEN A 2ND TIME - SOME ARE KILLED, SOME IN COMA, PARALYZED. I CALLED THE PIONEER LAWYER ON "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" CLAIMS. HE TOLD ME I WAS QUITE LUCKY CHEATING DEATH BY AN INCH, AND I SEEMED SO CALM. THE DEALER HAS MY CAR ALL WEEK, NO CALLS FROM ANYONE. WON'T GIVE ME LOANER CAR. I HAVE HAD NO CAR FOR 8 DAYS NOW. I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR - SO NEED TO GET HONDA TO BUY IT BACK. DEALERS WILL NEVER ADMIT TO PROBLEM, BLAMES SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON INNOCENT PEOPLE.

TOURING MODEL DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) LED STRIP IS 70% UN-LIT ON ONE HEADLIGHT. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, DEALER PART COST $945, INSTALL NOT INCLUDED. FROM MY RESEARCH IT APPEARS THESE BURN OUT EARLY AND OFTEN AND DRL'S ARE LISTED AS A SAFETY FEATURE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND A SOLUTION NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED. HONDA CANNOT EXPECT PEOPLE TO REPLACE LIGHTS EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS AT THAT COST.

HEY DIYCARMODZ I'M A LONG TIME SUBSCRIBER AND BOUGHT A 2016 ACCORD COUPE EX-L INSPIRED BY YOUR VIDS. THERE'S AN ISSUE ON THE 2016 & 2017 ACCORDS COUPES AND SEDANS THAT IS BECOMING A HUGE HEADACHE FOR A LOT OF OWNERS. THE DRL LED BURNS OUT WHICH IS EXPECTED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE LISTED AS SAFETY FEATURES BY HONDA.THE LIGHT IS NOT USER ACCESSIBLE AND THE DEALER HAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I'VE HAD BOTH SETS OF MY HEADLIGHTS EACH REPLACED TWICE AND JUST BURNT OUT AGAIN. I HAVE LINKED ALL THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE THAT I COULD FIND ALONG WITH THE COMMENTS ON THE VIDEOS. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD MAKE THE PROBLEM MORE KNOWN WITH YOUR LARGER FOLLOWING SO THAT HONDA CAN PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE IT COSTS ANYWHERE FROM $800-$1400 TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED BECAUSE OF AN LED LIGHT. I SEE A LOT OF ACCORDS ON THE ROAD WITH A BUNT OUT DRL LED AND IT IS SPREADING. I HAVE ATTACHED THE LINKS I HAVE FOUND.

HEARING LOUD CLANK SOUND WHEN SHIFTING GEAR MOVING REVERSE AND THEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE GEAR TO MOVE, SEVERAL TIMES I ASKED TO HONDA DEALER SEVICE AND THEY ANSWER ME THE LOUD CLICKING SOUND IS FROM SHIFTING DELAY GEAR ENGAGEMENT, THE SOUND STILL REMAINING.
