2016 Honda Accord Complaint Log

DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) ARE LED, BUT BURN OUT. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY IN 2016 HONDA ACCORDS DUE TO CHANGES IN DESIGN FROM PREVIOUS MODELS.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, LED STRIP, GO OUT AFTER ABOUT 30,000 MILES. MY DRIVER SIDE LED STRIP WENT OUT AND HONDA REPLACED IT AT 35,000 MILES. AT 40,000 MILES, PASSENGER SIDE DRL LED STRIP WENT OUT. HONDA IS USING FAULTY PARTS AND IS CHARGING $800 TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY EVERY 30,000 MILES. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE LED STRIP LIGHTS ARE IMPORTANT WHEN DRIVING THROUGH SAFETY ZONES THAT REQUIRE HEADLIGHTS TO BE ON, OR AT NIGHT WHERE YOU NEED THE LIGHT TO SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY. LIGHTING ISN'T A WEAR AND TEAR PART AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT THAT OFTEN.

KNOWN ISSUE WOTH BAD DESIGN DRL. LEFT SIDE WENT OUT. ONLY HAD 22,000 MILES. RIGHT SIDE DIMMING ALSO. LEDS DO NOT LAST LONGER THAN HALOGEN HEAD LIGHT.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FAILING TWICE IN TWO YEARS. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY ISSUE SINCE THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT $1200 EACH.. THIS IS ADVERTISED UNDER THE SAFETY FEATURES SECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE LED DRL'S FAILING AND A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVING WITHOUT THEM WORKING

ON MONDAY, MAY 14, 2018, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND A VERY SCARY SITUATION HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY TIGHTENED UP AND I FELT, AS THOUGH I WAS NO LONGER IN CONTROL OF MY CAR. I SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. I MANAGED TO DRIVE TO A HONDA DEARER.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE LED DRL IN BOTH HEADLIGHTS. I NOTICE ON THE INTERNET THAT A LOT OF HONDA ACCORD V6 TOURING OWNERS HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT. I THINK THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HONDA NEEDS TO FIX. THE DRL IS A SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND LOOKS LIKE ON THIS YEARS THAT PART WAS DEFECTIVE. I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HELP.

THE DAY TIME RUNNING LED LIGHTS ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE BLOWN OUT AND AMERICAN HONDA HAS REFUSED TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS OVER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE CAR WAS UNDER TWO YEARS OLD FROM WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN TO AMERICAN HONDA AND IS NOT ONLY LIMITED TO THE HONDA ACCORD BUT OTHER MODELS. IT IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT AND A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE LISTED AS A SAFETY FEATURE ON THE WINDOW STICKER. AS LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER, BECAUSE THESE LED BULBS ARE DEFECTIVE AND THEY ARE CHARGING $1,400.00 TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES.

LED DRL HAVE BOTH WENT BAD, FOR NO REASON, WORKED ONE DAY DIDNT THE NEXT DAY THRY WERE COVERED BY THD 36K WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE UNDERLYING ISSUE AND ONCE OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY ARE $1300 EACH! BRAKES HAVE BEEN RESURFACED, FRONT AND REAR. THE CAR HAD 70 MILES, A XEALER TRADED IT ANX IT SAT ON THE LOT FOR MONTHS, PERHAPS THD RUST CREATED PITTING(DAVIS HONDA SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS, NOG CUT THEM AT 5K THEN 10K. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 16,800. OH, AND THE PAINT CHIPS/ROAD RASH IS INSANE. THE CLEAR COAT WILL BE GONE BY 100K.

BACK IN SEPT 2017, MY DRIVERS SIDE DRL LED STRIP WENT OUT, AND HONDA REPLACED IT, BUT CHARGED ME A DEDUCTIBLE OF $100. AROUNG MAY FIRST, 2018, MY PASSENGER SIDE DRL LED STRIP WENT OUT, AND HONDA IS SAYING THAT THE FIRST ONE WAS A COURTESY, BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE REPAIR THIS TIME. LOOKING UP DIFFERENT ACCORD FORUMS, THE 2016 MODEL SEEMS TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE DRL LED STRIPS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE LIGHT, BUT HONDA IS CLAIMING THAT NO ONE HAS REPORTED THE ISSUE AT ALL, AND MY ISSUE IS DUE TO ME DRIVING FROM MILWAUKEE, TO CHICAGO EVERYDAY FOR WORK. LIGHTS ARE NOT WEAR AND TEAR PARTS, SO SHOULD NOT BE IMPACTED BY DRIVING 60 MILES IN EACH DIRECTION. HONDA IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN OBVIOUS DEFECT, AND REQUIRING PEOPLE TO PAY WELL OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE FULL HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE FAILED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR.

AROUND 1 PM ON APR 20, 2018 WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN IT ACCELERATED AT VERY HIGH SPEED RPM WHEN I TRIED TO PUT GEAR FROM PARKING TO DRIVE... IT ACCELERATED SO HIGH I WAS SCARED TO DEATH...AND I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF.. WAITED FEW MINTUTES AND STARTED AGAIN AND DO NO HAVE THE PROBLEM ANYMORE.. CALLED HONDA 888-234-2138 ON APR 21 2018 AND THEY SAID TO MAKE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER.. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER FOR APR 24 2018 AT 8:00 AM AT VIP HONDA IN NORTH PLAINFIELD NJ.. THEY SAID THEY WILL CHARGE ME $125.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR IT IF THEY DO NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH IT.. I TOLD THEM I HAVE ABOUT 19K MILES AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED.. THEY SAID NO THEY HAVE TO CHARGE IF THEY DO NOT FIND ANY FAULT... AS IT COULD BE COMPUTER GLITCH WHICH CANNOT BE REPLICATED EXACT CONDITION I HAD TO LEAVE THERE WITHOUT PAYING ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC FEE.. CALLED HONDA COMAPNY AGAIN AND THEY SAID THATS RIGHT DEALER WILL CHARGE FEE IF NOTHING FOUND.. IS,NT IT TERRIBLE IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM THEY WANT ME TO CHARGE FOR TIME... GOT DIAGNOSTIC CODE READER FROM WALMART AND THAT CODE READER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ANYTHING... I AM SCARED TO DRIVE AS THERE IS NO ERROR CODE AND CAR HAD ACCEELRATED HIGH SPEED AND IT COULD HAPPEN.. WHO IS AT RESPONSIBEL FOR THIS ? AND PLEASE LET OTHER PEOPLE KNOW IT COULD HAPPEN TO THEM AND NOT EVERYTHING HAS ERROR CODE AT RIGHT TIME...

VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY CAUGHT ON FIRE! THE WHOLE CAR BUSTED INTO FLAMES WITHOUT WARNING ON THE FREEWAY

SAFETY ISSUE. BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE FRONT LED LIGHT BLOWING OUT, ONE AT AROUND 30,000 MILES AND THE OTHER AROUND 40,000, RIGHT OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. THIS IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY LIGHT PER THE SPECIFICATIONS LISTED ON THE INVOICE OR ITEMIZED SPEC SHEET. THE HONDA FACILITY IS STATING A REPAIR OF AROUND $650 FOR THE ENTIRE LIGHT FIXTURE OUT OF POCKET.

LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS PASSENGER SIDE BOTTOM STRIPE BURNED OUT 19850 MILES.

MY CAR MAKES A SCREECHING SOUNDS WHENEVER I TURN THE CAR TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR REPAIR. THE FIRST TIME THEY STATED IT WAS A PLATE BEHIND MY WHEEL, AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I TOOK THE CAR BACK THE SECOND WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS FROM THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD HONDA AND THE TIRE COMPANY WAS INVESTIGATING TO SEE WHO WAS AT FAULT. I AM STILL WAITING TO GET THIS ISSUE REPAIRED.

MY COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED TODAY. TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT WORK. EVERY AVOIDANCE SYSTEM IS NON-FUNCTIONAL. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS NEW CAR FEATURE! CAR WAS IN MOTION ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREET.

WHILE ON A TRIP DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 72 MPH, IN BUSY TRAFFIC, WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE ENGINE STALLED. I ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER, AND THE CAR DIDN'T RESTART. ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, BUT ALL ELECTRONICS (RADIO, COMPUTER SCREENS) WERE WORKING. HONDA TOWED (UNDER WARRANTY) TO THEIR NEAREST DEALERSHIP. AFTER CHECKING OUT THE CAR, AND TELLING ME IT RESTARTED AND DISPLAYED NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES, I WAS SENT ON MY WAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AS THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. STILL ON A TRIP, AND ABOUT 500 MILES LATER, I WAS AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE PASSING A GROUP OF SEMI'S ON ABOUT A 5% GRADE, WITH CARS IN FRONT OF AND BEHIND ME, WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME WAS MUCH SCARIER AS I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE, AND THE RIGHT SHOULDER WAS BLOCKED BY A LONG STRING OF SEMI'S. IT WAS DANGEROUS TRYING TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AS THERE WERE CARS IN FRONT OF AND BEHIND ME ALSO. I WAS TRAVELING AT 78 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR RESTARTED THIS TIME, AND WITH IT BEING A WEEKEND AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLOSED, I CONTINUED HOME THE FINAL 550 MILES (IN THE RIGHT LANE) WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME THE ENGINE HAS STALLED. THE FIRST WAS WHEN I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 109, AND AT THE TIME (CAR HAD ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT) I ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE TEMPERATURE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR DIDN'T OVERHEAT. IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY THIS CAR IS THE 6 SPEED (MANUAL), 6 CYLINDER, COUPE MODEL.

DRIVER SIDE LED DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST 2 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR.

LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE BURNT OUT.

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FAILED AFTER THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS FLICKERING AND HOT, THIS ISSUE STARTED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE OUT. I CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND TO CONTACT THE DEALER. THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT SAFETY FEATURE. I DID A RESEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM CONCERN THAT THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A FIRE.

THE BACKUP CAMERA HAS QUIT WORKING. WHEN IN REVERSE THE SCREEN IS NOW BLACK.

I GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND ONE OF THE STRAPS POPPED OUT. IT WAS ALWAYS SNUG AND NEVER WIGGLED BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PRODUCT FOR A RECALL. LUCKLY ONE STRAP STILL HELD ON. WITNESSES SAID SHE WASN'T BUCKLED PROPERLY BUT I ALWAYS CHECK TO SEE IF THE BASE WIGGLES. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2016, MAKE=HONDA, MODEL=ACCORD)

HONDA ACCORD SPORT BECAUSE OF ITS SAFETY AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT COULD HURT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I HOPE HONDA CAN DO DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT OR COMPENSATE ME FOR THOSE TWO INCIDENTS. ANYTHING HONDA CAN DO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I AM AWAITING YOUR REPONSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, MULTIPLE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SPARKS APPEARED FROM THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, EXITED THE VEHICLE, AND SHORTLY AFTER, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE PASSENGER OF THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED A FOOT INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000. *TT *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT HAS FAILED TO WORK. IT DOESN'T WORK IN ANY SCENARIO (MOVING, STATIONARY, ETC). SINCE THESE ARE LED HEADLIGHTS, IT REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND CAN'T BE INDIVIDUALLY REPAIRED.

THE DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS (LED) FAILED AT APPX. 37,0000 MILES. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE AN INADEQUATE HEAT SINK ON ONE LED CHIP WHICH CAUSES THE ACRYLIC TUBE TO MELT, BAD DESIGN. REPAIRING COST ABOUT $1500 REQUIRING TOTAL ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT AS DLRS ARE UNREPAIRABLE. THIS IS 1) A MASSIVE DESIGN DEFECT 2) LEADING TO DRIVING WITH NO RUNNING LIGHTS 2) DUE TO UNAFFORDABLE COST OF REPAIR. THE PROBLEM IS WINDSPREAD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN MIC143 (NA) TIRES, SIZE: 215/55/R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE TIRE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OFF OF THE ROADWAY AND INSPECT THE TIRE AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS FLAT. THE TOWING COMPANY WAS CALLED AND WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE SPARE TIRE ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DCH PARAMUS HONDA (120 NEW JERSEY 4, PARAMUS, NJ 07652, (201) 426-4676) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE DEALER THAT THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL. THE INFORMATION WAS FORWARDED TO THE WARRANTY COMPANY AND THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE FAILURE WAS THE SECOND INSTANCE OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES EXPERIENCING THE TREAD/SIDEWALL SEPARATION. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

THE DRIVERS SIDE LED DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS ARE GOING OUT ON SEVERAL OF THE NEWER MODEL HONDA ACCORD SPORT AND TOURING MODELS. THIS IS SAFETY FEATURE THAT APPEARS TO BE FAILING ON MULTIPLE MODELS, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL CONSUMERS THAT HAVE ,AND OR ARE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL CONSUMERS AFFECTED ON THIS SINGLE YOUTUBE LINK ->HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=IBJAP21W43U THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE PULLED IN ONE DIRECTION WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GARDENA HONDA (15541 S WESTERN AVE, GARDENA, CA 90249, (310) 660-7289) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. HONDA ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SWAYBAR REPLACEMENT; HOWEVER, THE PART WOULD HAVE TO BE PURCHASED AFTERMARKET. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT HONDA ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT A TIRE ALIGNMENT AND A WHEEL BEARING WERE NEEDED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED TO DROP THE VEHICLE OFF AND GET A THIRD WHEEL ALIGNMENT PERFORMED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL, SQUEAKING COMING FROM BRAKES. HAD BRAKES CHECKED, AND THERE IS NO WEAR WHICH REQUIRES BRAKE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE OF THE TAB GETTING OFF IT'S RESTING PLACE AND CAUSING AN ERRONEOUS SQUEAKING. EVERYTIME WE ASK THE DEALER ABOUT IT, THEY SAY THEY CANNOT REPLICATE. WHEN YOU DO A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH, THE ISSUE IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE PLACE. THUS, HONDA IS AWARE AND IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE.

DEALER REPLACED LED PASSENGER HEADLIGHT AT 30,000 MILES THERE IS DEFINITELY A ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS HOPING THE DRIVER SIDE DOESN'T GO OUT AFTER 35,000 .. THIS IS A ON GOING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE LIGHTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, AN EXPLOSIVE NOISE WAS SUDDENLY HEARD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE SUN ROOF WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

THE FIRESTONE AFFINITY TOURING TIRES ON MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD WOULD NOT GRIP ON A DUSTING OF SNOW AND ICE! (LESS THAN ONE INCH!) THE TIRES WOULD SPIN AND SLIP ON A SLIGHT INCLINE OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AT MY LOCAL DRUGSTORE! OTHER CARS WHERE PASSING ME BY WITH NO PROBLEM. WHEN COMING HOME AND SLOWLY TURNING INTO MY PARKING GARAGE, THE TIRES STARTED TO SLIP AND SKID! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR TIRE BRAND! THESE ARE LOW RESISTANCE TIRES WHICH GRIP WELL ON DRY PAVEMENT BUT DO NOT GRIP IN THE SNOW! I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS FROM PEOPLE THAT THIS BRAND OF TIRE GAVE THEM THE SAME PROBLEM. IN SHORT, THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FACTORY INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE UNLESS IT WAS TO BE SOLD IN A DRY CLIMATE REGION! I AM NOW PAYING FOR A CAR I CANNOT USE IN THE SNOW AND AM HAVING A HARD TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE! IT'S FUNNY THAT ALL THE HONDA ACCORDS I HAVE SEEN IN DEALERSHIPS AND ON THE STREET HAVE GOODYEAR OR MICHELIN TIRES ON THEM! NOT FIRESTONE!

A PORTION OF THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) IMMEDIATELY BELOW THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAS BURNED OUT. SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR WITH ONLY 52K MILES.

A RECALL WAS ISSUED REGARDING THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENSOR AND BATTERY IS OUT AT 46K MILES. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENSOR DIDN'T TAKE OUT THE BATTERY ALSO SINCE IS IT MANAGING THE BATTERY? ALSO, HALF OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT DECIDE TO GO OUT TOO. IF YOU WEB SEARCH THESE ISSUES, THESE ARE COMMON ISSUE FOR THE HONDA ACCORD. I GUESS HONDA IS ONLY KNOWN TO BE RELIABLE UNTIL THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER.

I WAS PARKING MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD IN A SHOPPING CENTER. AS I WAS SLOWLY INCHING FORWARD TO PARK, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN (WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR) AND WENT FORWARD SO FAST IT WENT OVER A RETAINING WALL THAT SEPARATED US FROM AN ADJOINING SHOPPING CENTER AND DROPPED ABOUT 4-5 FT DOWN INTO THAT ADJOINING PARKING LOT. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND CAUSED US INJURY. THE CAR IS MOST LIKELY TOTALED AT THIS POINT (WAITING TO FIND OUT FROM MY ADJUSTOR). THE ACCELERATION WAS SUDDEN AND EXTREME. I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO HIT THE BRAKES. IT WAS A MATTER OF A SPLIT SECOND BEFORE WE WERE THROWN INTO THE OTHER PARKING LOT. (ATTACHING A PICTURE SO THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT MAKES SENSE) NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE CAR RIGHT NOW SO I AM GUESSING MY MILEAGE BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT AN OPTION TO INDICATE "UNKNOWN" ON THE FORM.

SECOND TIME ON THE LAST FOUR DAYS THAT MY CAR WILL NOT START. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AT EH HONDA AUTONATION IN COSTA MESA CA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. I WAS WORKING IN LOS ANGELES FOUR DAYS LATER AND ONCE AGAIN THE CAR WOULDN'T START. THIS IS AFTER DRIVING A FEW SHORT DISTANCES AND THEN THE CAR JUST WONT TURN OVER. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR JUMPED TWICE IN THE LAST FOUR DAYS. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE OF WHERE I WORK AND I CANNOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO NOT HAVING THE CONFIDENCE THAT THE CAR WILL START, ESPECIALLY IF SHE HAS THE KIDS WITH HER. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN AGAIN ON MONDAY AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE PARTS DEALING WITH THE BATTERY THAT CAN NOT ONLY CAUSE STARTING ISSUES, BUT SHORTS IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT PROBLEMS OCCUR, BUT THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN FOUR DAYS I STARTING TO WONDER IF HONDA IS NOW SELLING VEHICLES OFF THEIR NAME AND NOT THEIR QUALITY. NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP ON THEM JUST YET, BUT IT WILL DEPEND ON WHAT THEY DO TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

A TIRE OF MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD EXL BLEW WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING. THE TIRE SPECIFICS: (215/55 R17 ASSURANCE FUEL FLEX). I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE AT MY EXPENSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK INADVERTENTLY CLOSED WHILE OPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE AND HER BOYFRIEND WERE STRUCK BY THE TRUNK ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF FIFE (4301 20TH ST E, FIFE, WA 98424, (253) 922-2673), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,600.

PURCHASED HONDA ACCORD IN 2017 FOR TRIPS & HIGHWAY DRIVING. AT 34K MILES THE DRIVERS SIDE DRL RUNNING LIGHTS STARTED TO FADE AND THEN WENT COMPLETELY OUT. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND BECAUSE THE CAR NOW HAD 39K MILES WILL NOT FIX. THE PART THE PART #33150-TAA81 IS OVER $800 PURCHASE SINCE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE TOURING MODEL WHICH WAS A PREMIUM OPTION WITH THESE LIGHTS. THIS WASN`T AN ISSUE UNTIL THE PAST MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN ISSUED WARNINGS BY STATE PATROL OF NEBRASKA AND COLORADO THAT THE DRIVING LIGHTS WERE OUT!? I NEVER KNEW THIS WAS A VALID SAFETY VIOLATION FOR A RUNNING CAR?

TAKATA RECALL

JUST FOR THE DAYTIME BULB WE NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT UNIT WHICH WILL COST US $550 TO $850. ITS SUCH A BAD ENGINEERING FROM HONDA.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ON A CLEAR DAY, FULL VISIBILITY, THERE WAS A CAR SEVERAL CAR LENGTHS AHEAD OF US TURNING RIGHT. IT CLEARED THE WAY WITHOUT US NEEDING TO BREAK. WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH AT AROUND 2PM. OUR VEHICLE THOUGHT THERE WAS STILL A HAZARD IN THE ROAD. WE HAVE A SENSING PACKAGE IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED OUR CAR TO COME TO A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP, ENGAGING THE SEAT BELTS AS WELL. WE HAVE FULL VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE INCIDENT FROM A THIRD PARTY DASH CAM. WE WERE ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THINKING THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT, IT WAS RETURNED, SAYING THAT THE CAR WORKED AS INTENDED. HAVING BEEN IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME, AND I DISAGREE, AND AM NOW EXTREMELY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. WHILE I HAVE NO PICTURES, I HAVE FULL VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT, AND WILL GLADLY PROVIDE IT UPON REQUEST.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, FIRST TIME FOR THE DAY, TOP AND BOTTOM CENTER DISPLAY TOUCH SCREENS WENT BLACK AND THERE IS NO FUNCTIONALITY OF ANY OF THE ASSOCIATED FUNCTIONS: NO NAVIGATION, NO BLUE TOOTH, NO BACK-UP CAMERA, NO SIDE VIEW CAMERA WHEN TURNING. THIS IS A REPEATED ISSUE. DOES NOT RESET.

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE BOTH STOPPED WORKING. WITHIN 13 MONTHS, MY FIRST DRL WENT OUT. BY 16 MONTHS, THE SECOND DRL WENT OUT. AFTER TALKING WITH MY MECHANIC, I REALIZED THAT IT'S NOT JUST A SIMPLE LIGHT CHANGE, THE ENTIRE HEADLAMP PIECE HAS TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE DRL. EACH ONE COSTS APPROX $1500, $3000/PAIR. OBVIOUSLY THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE DESIGNED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS CLEARLY NOT HAPPENING. TECHNICALLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE THAT'S WHAT THIS FEATURE IS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR. AFTER RESEARCHING HOW COMMON OF A PROBLEM THIS IS, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR 2016 ACCORDS. HONDA HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND CORRECT IT. THE THOUGHT OF LEAVING THIS TO IT'S CUSTOMERS IS RIDICULOUS WHEN IT'S INTENDED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2016 HONDA ACCORD SPORT THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. A FRIEND HAD NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE'S LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WAS ONLY HALF-LIT. I TOOK IT TO MY HONDA DEALER AND IT WAS IMMEDIATELY NOTICEABLE THAT THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND IMMEDIATELY SAID IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS CLOCKED 42,200 MILES AND WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING ON MY CAR I NOTICED TWO OTHER HONDA ACCORD WITH THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM; DRIVER-SIDE'S LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WAS ONLY HALF-LIT. THEY HAVE TO ORDER AN ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT; NOT JUST THE LED STRIP PORTION AND IT WILL COST OVER $500. THIS IS A MATTER OF A FAULTY AND CHEAP LED LIGHTING SYSTEM AND IS A HAZARD FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT.

ISSUE 1: LED STRIP ON FRONT HEADLIGHT DEFECTIVE. HAD TWO DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT LED STRIPS GO OUT ON MY VEHICLE. ISSUE 2: CHASIS MAKING SQUEAKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH DRIVING ON INCLINE.

LED DAYTIME LIGHTS /REPLACED DRIVER SIDE AT 17,000 MILES NOW PASSENGER SIDE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 27,000 MILES THIS ITEM COST ALONE IS $1300 EACH MAKING IT $2600 TO REPLACE THIS AMOUNT DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. I BELIEVE HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THE LED LIGHTS AND REPLACE... THIS WILL NOT BE FAIR TO OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ONCE THEY REACH 36,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY IS NOW VOID.....

#1 ISSUE ON SEP 23 2017 WE WERE GOING DOWN AN INCLINE, IN THE CITY, APPLYING THE BRAKES AND GOING ABOUT 25MPH WHEN THE ENGINE ACCELERATED. WE WERE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. HE APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. AFTER THE INITIAL SHOCK MY HUSBAND THOUGHT TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND WE WERE ABLE TO STOP. WE TOOK OUR CAR INTO OUR HONDA DEALER. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY STATED THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. HONDA HAD OUR CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND DROVE 54MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. WE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND GOT A CASE NUMBER. THEY CALLED US TO TELL US THEY HAD CONTACTED OUR HONDA DEALER AND THEY AGREED NOTHING WAS FOUND SO OUR CAR DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. #2 ISSUE THE FIRST WEEK AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR HONDA IN JANUARY 2016 THE COMPASS WENT OUT. HONDA SERVICE PUT IN A NEW SENDING UNIT. IN SEP 2017 THE COMPASS AND FUEL MPG READOUT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLANK. THIS HAPPENED ALONG WITH THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM THAT WE STATED ABOVE.. WE TOOK IT INTO FOR REPAIR AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY WOULD NOT DO ANY REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR. THEN, ON OCT 24TH THE COMPASS AND THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. THE RADIO CAME BACK ON WITHIN A MINUTE, BUT THE COMPASS DID NOT WORK ACCURATELY AGAIN FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WE HAVE SEND AN EMAIL TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND ARE WAITING FOR A REPLY. OUR CAR HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT..
