2017 Honda Accord Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL I RECENTLY HAD A CAR ACCIDENT ON 11/29/17 WHERE THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND I CUT MY FACE AND HAD 6 STITCHES AND MY MOTHER BROKE HER ARM AND HAS A CAST AND MIGHT NEED SURGERY. I JUST LEASED THE CAR 2 MONTHS AGO.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THERE IS A COUPLE OF SECONDS HESITATION OF THE POWER TRAIN. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND DEATH. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BUT CAN GO FOR SOME TIME WITHOUT OCCURRING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND THE VEHICLE APPLY THE BRAKES WITHOUT ANYTHING BEEN IN FRONT OF IT. IT'S SCARY BECAUSE ANY ONE COULD REAR END YOU. TOOK IT TO HONDA WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE AND THEY WAS TAKING ABOUT REALIGNING THE SENSOR.

THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAR ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR DRIVING IN WINTER CONDITIONS. THE TREAD PATTERN IS DESIGNED FOR DRY ROADS. THERE ARE NO CHANNELS FOR ACCUMULATING SLUSH, SNOW, ETC. TO EXIT THE TREAD TO THE SIDES. THIS CAUSES ACCUMULATION IN THE TREAD AND CAUSES HYDROPLANING AND COMPLETE LOSS OF TRACTION. LAST WINTER I ALMOST LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THIS CAR WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY COMING NORTH FROM O'HARE ON I94 IN SLUSH. I TRIED ASKING THE KENOSHA, WISCONSIN DEALERSHIP TO PUT ALL SEASON RADIALS ON THE CAR AND THEY REFUSED, SAYING IF I WANTED TO PAY FOR DIFFERENT TIRES I COULD DO THAT. SELLING OR LEASING A VEHICLE IN A SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHICAL AREA SHOULD INCLUDE TIRES THAT ARE SUITED FOR SAID AREA. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN SNOW OR ANY SLIPPERY CONDITIONS DUE TO THE TIRES.

TAKATA RECALL MY PASSENGER AIRBAG CONSOLE WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT STAYS ON SOMETIMES AND GOES OFF SOMETIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. THEY TELL ME THE LIGHT WASN'T ON WHEN THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND TO BRING IT BACK. I TOLD THEM TO CHECK IT OUT AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE, THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THEY HAVE MORE TIME TO CHECK IT OUT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT BACK WHEN IT CAME BACK ON, BUT IT WENT BACK OFF AGAIN! SO BASICALLY THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE LIGHT ISN'T ON! BUT WHEN I'M ON THE WAY TO DEALER IT IS ON. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS HAS BEEN GOIN ON FOR ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS NOW. I LEASED THE VEHICLE MARCH 2017

ENGINE HEAD KEEPS LEAKING OIL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES BUT THEY WOULD JUST TIGHTEN THE HEAD BOLTS AND PUT A SEAL AROUND IT THAT WOULD LAST ABOUT 500 MILES BEFORE IT STARTS LEAKING AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT 4K MILES.

I PURCHASE MY HONDA ACCORD SPORT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017. TODAY OCTOBER 28TH 2017 WILL DRIVING ON MY LOCAL STREET LESS THAN 40 MILES PER HOUR I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO FIND A CRACK IN MY SIDE TIRE WALL. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 1,300 MILES ON IT THE TREAD ON THE TIRE IS FULLY INTACT. I WAS GREATLY CONCERNED AS THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED THIS YEAR BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE TIRE FOR THE TIRE TO BE CRACKED .I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE ANY SERIOUS BODILY INJURY IS CAUSED TO ANYONE . WHEN I CONTACTED MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WAS ADVISED THAT TIRES ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY WHEN PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND THEY MADE THE PRESUMPTION THAT I HIT SOMETHING OR RAN SOMETHING OVER . I ADVISED THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE THAT I DID NOT HIT OR RUN ANYTHING OVER MY RIM AND VEHICLE HAVE NO DAMAGE TO INDICATE THAT ANYTHING WAS HIT OR RUN OVER TO CAUSE THE CRACKING NOT A SLICE BUT A CRACK IN THE TIRE. TIRE INFO 235/40R 1996V DOT A318WC8T 3317

2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT BOUGHT IN BARNABY BC CANADA TRANSMISSION PROBLEM STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, LIGHT TURNS GREEN I PUT MY FOOT ON GAS TO GO FORWARD BUT THE CAR ROLLS BACK AND HIT THE TRUCK BEHIND ME,.PUT CAR IN PARK. TRIED PUTTING IN DRIVE NOTHING HAPPENS PUT IN SPORT MODE I BARLEY MOVE. TURNED RIGHT AND SLOWLY WENT IN SOMEONES CAR PORT TO GET OF THE ROAD.

FINALLY IT MOVED WITH HIGH RPM GOT ON ROAD PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE ENGINE REVS UP CAR BARLEY MOVES THEN IT STARTS TO MOVE BUT BUT RPM HIGH (NOT NORMAL) THEN IT STARTS WORKING FINE.DID NOT INSPECT MY BACK BUMPER BECAUSE IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT FOR DAMAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE MOVED VERY SLOWLY. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO MOVE WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RICK CASE HONDA (15700 RICK CASE HONDA WAY, DAVIE, FL 33331) WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO RICK CASE HONDA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS AT FAULT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,400. *BF CONSUMER STATED TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND DEALERSHIP EXCHANGED FOR ANOTHER 2017 HONDA ACCORD. UPDATED 8/9/18*JB

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT LED BAR WENT OUT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AROUND 30K MILES, NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS GONE OUT AROUND 35K MILES. THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO TAKE IT IN YET FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE.

MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD (V-6) HAD NO ELECTRICAL POWER ON 9-17-2017. THERE WERE 800+ MILES ON THE CAR. THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS DEAD; NO SIGN OF ELECTRICAL POWER AT ALL. THE CAR WAS TOWED (AT HONDA'S EXPENSE) TO A DEALER, NOT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALER "CLEARED BATTERY CODES" AND THEN COULD FIND NOTHEING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS SINCE WITH THE CAR WHICH NOW HAS 1,134 MILES ON IT

2500 MILES ON MY ACCORD TOURING...TPMS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON...WENT LAST WEEK 9/15/17 TO RAY LAKS HONDA IN ORCHARD PARK NY...TOLD SERVICE THAT MY LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON,SO THEY CHECKED AIR PRESSURES AND ALL 4 TIRES WERE LOW...LIGHT WENT OFF AFTER AIR WAS ADDED..TODAY 9/19/17 WAS DRIVING CAR BACK FROM SHOPPING AND GUESS WHAT?? THE LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN...BRAND NEW CAR AND HAVING ISSUES ALREADY

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE ON THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND SAW A LARGE HOLE ON THE SUNROOF. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LARGE ROCK AT FIRST, BUT THEN I SAW THE GLASS BY THE BROKEN EDGES PUSHED UP. IT STARTED FROM INSIDE OUT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD EXPLODED ON ITS OWN BUT I KNOW FOR SURE THERE WAS NO TRUCK SHOOTING ROCKS AT MY CAR.

CLOSED SUNROOF HAD GLASS VIOLENTLY SHATTER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. NO OBJECTS HIT THE VEHICLE. WEATHER WAS LIGHT RAIN AND 70 DEGREES.

BRAKE CALIPER RETAINING CLIPS APPEAR TO BE INCORRECTLY INSTALLED OR POORLY DESIGNED. THIS HAS A TRAIL OF PROBLEMS COMPILING AT A QUICK PACE. THE BRAKE PADS DON'T TRAVEL FREELY EVEN WITH GREASE. THE OUTSIDE BRAKE PADS WILL WEAR OUT APPROXIMATELY 1-2 MILLIMETERS BEFORE THE INSIDE BRAKE PADS WEAR DOWN TO THE SQUEALER (WARNING NOISE TO LET YOU KNOW BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED). THE OTHER PADS WILL GRIND THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE ROTARS. BRAKE PADS WILL NOT RETRACT BAKE TO NORMAL POSITION AND CONSTANT FRICTION CAUSES EXCESSIVE HEAT WHICH IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH THE CALIPER PISTONS, WHEEL HUB/BEARINGS, WHEELS, SIGNIFICANT MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION DAMAGE BEING OVER WORKED. GAS MILEAGE IS CONSTANTLY IN HIGH TEENS. RARELY HAVE I EVER HIT OVER 25MPG REGARDLESS OF CITY DRIVING OUT HIGHWAY DRIVING. FIRST SIGN OF BRAKE PAD FAILURE@1ST 8,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. BRAKE FLUID IS ALREADY BURNT OR DRK BRWNISH COLOR AT 40,000 MILES. THIS CAR GENERATES MORE THAN QUESTIONABLE HEAT FROM FRONT WHEELS AFTER 10MINS OF PARKING LOT DRIVING. THIS APPEARS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVING HARD AS IF I AM ABUSING THE 2.4L 4CYL ENGINE POWERING A CVT TRANSMISSION.

WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE, IN MOTION, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY FOR NO REASON. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN BOTH CITY STREET & HIGHWAY DRIVING AS WELL. THE CMBS SYSTEM HAS ALSO FULLY ACTIVATED BY ITSELF A FEW TIMES, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, RESULTING IN THE BRAKES LOCKING UP COMPLETELY. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MY BEING HIT FROM BEHIND AS I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM MORE THAN ONCE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. APPARENTLY THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SYSTEM ACTIVATES I FEEL VERY UNSAFE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2017. *THE DATE SELECTED BELOW IS THE FIRST OF MANY OCCURRENCES, TO INCLUDE JUST YESTERDAY*

I WAS MAKING A U TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK IT SELF AND I COULDNT MOVE IT ANY MORE AND IT MADE ME CRASH IN TO THE SIDE WALK HONDA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT TOOK IT WITH A TOW TRUCK

WHEN FIRST DROVE NEW CAR OFF LOT (0 MILES) 9/2016 AND MANY TIMES OVER SEVERAL MONTHS LATER TO (7K MI) 8/2017, CAR TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON WHILE DRIVING IN CITY AND HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. DEALER CLAIMS TIRES NOT PART OF CAR WARRANTY. REPLACED TIRE, LIGHT STILL COMES ON. DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING...DON'T KNOW IF TIRES PROPERLY INFLATED. UNCOMFORTABLE SEATING AND HEAD REST (DRIVER'S SEAT).

RODENT'S CHEWED A HOLE IN THE EVAP LINE COMING OFF THE FUEL TANK. 2552 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CORRUGATED EVAP LINE HAS A SOY BASED COATING. BECAUSE THIS LINE IS BUILT INTO THE FUEL TANK THE WHOLE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATED COST IS $1552, NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY. VERY WORRIED A SIMILAR PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART AND I'LL BE LOOKING AT MULTIPLE REPLACEMENTS. ASKING THE REPAIR SHOP TO TREAT THE NEW PART WITH HONDA'S RODENT DETERRENT TAPE PART # 4019-2317, BEFORE REINSTALLING.

FUEL PUMP NUZZLES AT GAS STATIONS DO NOT FIT AND NOT GOING ALL THE WAY IN THE FUEL TANK WHEN REFUELING. FUEL AND GASES OVERFLOW CREATING A FIRE HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK HONDA BRADENTON (5515 14TH ST, WEST BRADENTON, FL 34207) WHERE THEY CHANGED ALL FOUR TIRES TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, BUT THE NOISE CONTINUED. AT 14,000 MILES LATER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE LATER AND FOUND THAT THE FRAME WAS BENT DUE TO FAULTY WELDING AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURING, WHICH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SENT AN INSPECTOR, BUT WAS UNABLE TO OFFER ANY RESOLUTION OR PROVIDE THE CONTACT A REPORT OF THEIR FINDINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,974.

NOTICED SOME RUST ON THE BUMPER THERE IS A LAYER OF PAINT AND METAL THAT SCRAPED OFF FROM ROCKS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE UNDER METAL HAS HEAVY RUST IT HAS NOT SNOWED HERE IN TEXAS SO THERE IS NO SALT ON THE ROADS. WE HAVE ONLY HAD RAIN. I'M AFRAID THERE MAYBE OTHER PARTS OF THIS NEW VEHICLE THAT ARE GOING TO RUST LIKE THIS OVER TIME.

THE LED INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY MELTS THE SURROUNDING PLASTIC CAUSING FAILURE OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE HEADLIGHT IS REQUIRED TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ACROSS ALL 2016 AND 2017 MODELS.

HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX] MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT SPECIAL EDITION THAT IS EQUIPPED WITH 19 INCH RIMS AND CONTINENTAL TIRES IN MARCH OF 2017 WITH 5 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE TIRES ARE RUBBING PART OF THE SUSPENSION CREATING FRICTION THAT COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF SIDE WALL THUS HAVING A BLOW OUT. THIS ISSUE IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND MANY OTHER LIVES AT RISK. I HAVE MADE HONDA AWARE OF THIS ISSUE NUMEROUS TIMES AT THE HONDA WORLD DEALERSHIP LOCATED ON HURSTBOURNE LANE IN LOUISVILLE KY. AFTER NUMEROUS VISITS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, ADDITIONAL AIR WAS PUMPED IN THE TIRE AND THE TIRES WERE ROTATED. WHICH SOLVES NOTHING... WHICH IS A BANDAID. IF YOU SEARCH YOUTUBE OR THE WEB, YOU WILL FIND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER WHOM HAS MADE HONDA AWARE OF THIS ISSUE OR IS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THESE OTHER CONSUMERS WHO ARE SUFFERING WITH THIS SAME POTENTIAL DISASTER COULD PUT HONDA ON THE HOOK FOR SEVERE PROBLEMS. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT HONDA WORLD DIRECTED ME TO CALL HONDA CORPORATE AND WHILE SPEAKING WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR. THE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED THAT A MANAGER NOR A "HIGHER UP" WAS AVAILABLE FOR ME TO SPEAK WITH. A FEW DAYS LATER, I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL FROM CASE MANAGER, [XXX] AT HONDA WHO INFORMED ME THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE TIRE BRAND AND RIM COMBINATION. AT THIS TIME, MY REQUEST FOR FOUR DIFFERENT BRAND TIRES THAT WILL NOT IMPACT MY SUSPENSION ON MY VEHICLE WAS DENIED. SHE INFORMED ME THAT IF I WANT TO PURCHASE FOUR NEW TIRES, I CAN DO SO. CLEARLY PUTTING THE DEFECT BACK IN THE CONSUMERS LAP TO FIX. I SUPPOSE IF WE START HAVING BLOW OUTS ON HONDA ACCORD AND FATALITIES START TO RISE DUE TO THIS KNOWN ISSUE, HONDA MIGHT THINK IT IS COST EFFECTIVE TO FIX THE KNOWN ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CW *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 80 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HONDA WEST LOCATED AT 7615 W SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89117; (800) 249-9504 WHERE THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

THERE IS A LOUD WIND NOISE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR. IT WAS NOTICEABLE WHEN I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY ABOVE 60 MPH. I HAD IT EVALUATED BY THE HONDA CARE CENTER AND THEY REPLACED THE WINDOW STRIP; HOWEVER, ONCE I ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH IT IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED TJAN BEFORE. I RETURNED TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT FIXABLE AS IT IS IN THE DESIGN OF THE CAR. IT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY TO ME THAT ENGINEERS WOULD ALLOW A CAR ON THE ROAD WITH KNOWN "WIND ISSUES" OR A DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS MY FOURTH HONDA ACCORD AND NEVER HAS THIS BEEN AN ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE I OWNED IS 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING. PROBLEM I DISCOVERED WAS CENTER CONSOLE SILVER STRIPE (PASSENGER SIDE) POP UP. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP HAVE IT FIXED. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY MONTH, AND I AM GETTING TRIED TO FIX IT EVERY MONTH. THE SILVER STRIPE PIECE IS SHARP, COULD POSSIBLY CUT YOUR FINGER OR SKIN. I OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A YEAR, LIKE NEW, WITH LESS THAN 3K MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. THE STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT PROPERLY, CAUSING THE SEAT BELT TO STAY ACROSS THE PASSENGER'S NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAWOOD HONDA (LOCATED AT 2516 PINE GROVE AVE, PORT HURON, MI 48060) WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO KEEP THE SEAT BELT FROM RETRACTING IMPROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND WOULD TRANSFER THE COMPLAINT TO THE ENGINEERS. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

BRAND NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT 2500 MILES. AIR STARTED BLOWING HOT. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT A ROCK HAS HIT MY CONDENSER CAUSING A LEAK AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DRIVE MOSTLY INTERSTATE AND I DO NOT SEE HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED SO SOON UNLESS I HIT A BOULDER OR SOMETHING. I HAVE A 09 ACCORD THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH

LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT WHEELS ON 2017 ACCORD SPORT SINCE ALMOST NEW. VERY NOTICEABLE AT LOWER SPEEDS. HONDA DEALER INSISTED GRINDING NOISE WAS FROM TIRE/RIM COMBINATION AND NOT ITEMS SUCH AS ROTORS, BRAKES, AND/OR WHEEL BEARINGS, ETC..

REPORTED ON THREE OCCASIONS TO HONDA DEALER IN ANNAPOLIS THAT DRIVER SEAT MAKES A VERY LOAD NOISE WHEN ADJUSTING SEAT FORWARD AND OR BACKWARDS. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL AND THAT NO REPAIR COULD BE MADE UNTIL THE NOISE WAS EVEN LOUDER. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE 2017 AND FIRST REPORT OF NOISE WAS MADE IN JUNE OF 2017, TO SALES GROUP AT HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS, AND THEN TO SERVICE GROUP IN JUNE AND ONCE MORE IN DECEMBER. THE NOISE IS GETTING LOUDER. ADDITIONALLY A WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 40 + MPH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF STREET NOISECAN BE HEARD IN THE CABIN.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROBLEM. (TPMS PROBLEM) ON A NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID SEDAN! AS AT 07/08/17. TPM PROBLEM. I BOUGHT MY NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID FOR ITS RELIABILITY. IN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS. TWO MICHILIN TIRES HAVE BLOWN OUT. BOTH FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE. THE REAR ONE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS INITIALLY GIVING ME LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS. AFTER A WEEK OF TAKING IT TO THE DELEARSHIP I BOUGHT IT TO LOOK AT IT AND REPAIR, IT BLEW OUT UNEXPECTEDLY ON 07/06/17. I ALWAYS REPLACE THOSE TIRE WITH MY OWN MONEY. THE DELEARSHIP TOLD ME THE TIRES DON'T COME WITH WARRANTY! WHAT? NEW TIRES FROM MICHILIN? INCREDIBLY UNBELIEVABLE RIGHT. I HAVE PERSONALLY CONTACTED MICHILIN TODAY 07/08/17 AND THEY SAID THEY'LL GIVE ME A CALL. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 07/08/17. THEY SAID THEY HAD REPAIRED AND TEST DROVE IT. IN LESS THAN 5 MILES OF DRIVING AVERAGE OF 45MPH, THE SYSTEM READ. "TPM PRONLEM". TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING PROBLEM. WITH THE WARNING SIGN OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE INSCRIBED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WITH SO MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT AND UNPREDICTABILITY THAT I WRITE THIS LETTER. NOT KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT WITH MY NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROBLEM. NOT EVEN COUNTING THE DAMAGES CAUSED: EMOTIONAL PAIN WITH THE LOVE I DEVELOPED FOR MY VEHICLE, THE DISAPPOINTMENT, THE FINANCIAL COST-THE CAR IS ACTUALLY NOT EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE. ANY TIME THE TIRE BLOWS OUT, I NEED TO EMERGENTLY REPAIR IT WITH MY OWN OUT OF POCKET MONEY UNEXPECTEDLY. UNSAFENESS- THE FIRST MICHILIN TIRE BLEW OUT UNEXPECTEDLY AT NIGHT AFTER 10 PM AT A LOCATION IN CHICAGO I HAD NO IDEA WITH. I HAD TO DRIVE IT AND PARK IT IN DARKNESS AT A SHELL FILLING STATION WHERE IT COULD HAVE BEEN TOWED. I HAD TO TAKE THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION MORE THAN AN HOUR BACK TO HOME WHERE I LIVED. SO UNSAFE.

ON THE NIGHT ON JULY 3, 2017 THE 2017 HONDA ACCORD WHICH WAS ONLY 5 WEEKS OLD WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOUSE. THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND THE MOTOR WAS TURNED OFF. YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY UNLESS THE CAR WAS IN PARK. THE CAR THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HONDA ACCORD WENT TO BACK OUT WITHOUT REALIZING A CAR WAS BEHIND IT. THE OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED WAS A KIA OPTIMA. THE KIA OPTIMA LIGHTLY BUMPED THE HONDA ACCORD AND STOPPED AS SOON AS IT REALIZED THE HONDA WAS BEHIND IT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE HONDA ACCORD OR TO THE BACK OF THE KIA OPTIMA. THE HONDA ACCORD WAS PARKED ON A FLAT SURFACE AT THE TIME. WHEN THE KIA HIT THE HONDA THE HONDA ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND HIT A LIGHT POLE. THE ENTIRE LIGHT POLE CRASHED DOWN AND BROKE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL I SAW MY NEIGHBOR'S VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE INCIDENT. WE CONTACTED HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND OF COURSE AT FIRST THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL THEY SAW THE VIDEO. AFTER A FEW DAYS HONDA GOT CORPORATE TECH SUPPORT INVOLVED AND WAS TOLD NOT TO RELEASE THE CAR BACK TO ME UNTIL THEY FOUND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK HONDA TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT AS A "PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE" THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY DID REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BUT SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE BACK OF THE HONDA OR THE LIGHT POLE. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND THE LIGHT POLE. A CAR THAT IS LIGHTLY BUMPED SHOULD NOT ROLL AWAY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE HAD A CHILD BEEN BEHIND THE CAR OR THE LIGHT POLE COULD HAVE CRASHED ONTO SOMETHING. I FEEL LIKE THEY FOUND SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND ARE COVERING UP FOR IT OTHERWISE IF THEY TRULY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION THEN WHY DID THEY REPLACE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM FALSELY GOES OFF ON A REGULAR BASIS DUE TO OPPOSING TRAFFIC. SLAMS BRAKES TO FLOOR, OVERRIDING ACCELERATOR- HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TWICE AND ON A TWO WAY STRAIGHTAWAY WITH NO VEHICLE IN MY LANE. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 1 MONTH AND ALMOST BEEN IN 3 ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS FAULTY SYSTEM WHICH I AM NOW DEACTIVATING. I'VE DRIVEN VEHICLES WITH THESE BEFORE (FORD) AND IT NEVER WENT OFF LIKE THIS- THE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS.

MY NEW ACCORD WITH A V6 ENGINE LIKES TO ENGINE BRAKE BY ITSELF. AS A RESULT IT WILL NOT COAST AND MAKES BRAKING UNPREDICTABLE AND VERY TIRING, ESPECIALLY WHEN DOING CITY DRIVING THAT INVOLVES STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS. WHEN IN MEDIUM TRAFFIC BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MPH YOU CAN FEEL IT DOWNSHIFTING EVERY TIME. WHEN COMING TO A CORNER AND MAKING THE RIGHT TURN CAR JERKS AS IT DOWNSHIFTS OR UPSHIFTS. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE ON 6/23/17 AND ON 6/26/17 AND THEY FELT WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING BOTH TIMES AND DISMISSED IT AS NORMAL. THE CASE MANAGER I COMPLAINED TO ALSO DISMISSED IT AS NORMAL WHILE TREATING MY CONCERN AS NOTHING BUT A TYPICAL COMPLAINT INCLUDING WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT MY NECK JERKED ONE TIME AS A RESULT OF THE ROUGH SHIFTING. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPANIES ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE FOR THE 9TH GENERATION ACCORD AND EVEN OLDER MODELS, ALL WITH THE V6 ENGINE. FOR REFERENCE I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON AN 05 ACCORD V6 ON WHICH THE SAME DEALER FELT THE ISSUE AND SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF BAD ENGINE MOUNTS. I HAD THOSE REPLACED AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN AGAIN THEY CALLED IT NORMAL OPERATION OF THE TRANSMISSION AT THIS POINT (REALLY?!!). WHEN THE ISSUE GOT WORSE I TOOK IT IN TO A LOCAL CERTIFIED SHOP IN VALPARAISO IN (OTHER TIMES WERE IN CHICAGO) AT 59,000 MILES AT THEY REPLACED IT WITH A BRAND NEW TRANS FROM HONDA. THE ISSUE NEVER WENT AWAY. MY MECHANIC WHO DROVE THE OLD CAR AND TEST DROVE THE NEW ONE CALLED THIS COMPLETELY ABNORMAL. THIS GUY HAS 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH VEHICLES RANGING FROM TOYOTA TO MERCEDES AND A WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO WILL VOUCH FOR HOW GOOD HE IS. I AM TAKING THE NEW ACCORD IN ONE MORE TIME TOMORROW (6/28/17) TO THE DEALER OF ORIGIN BUT I AM GUESSING THE SAME ANSWER WILL ARISE. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. THIS ENGINE BRAKING IS NOT NORMAL.

TAKATA RECALL, IS MY CURRENT CAR UNDER RECALL FOR THE BAG INFLATOR?

THE CAR TEMPTS TO SHAKE AND WHEN PUT ON DRIVE THE CAR WON'T MOVE FORWARD PASSING 20 MPH. WHEN THE CAR OS PLACED ON REVERSE THE CAR WON'T GO BACK AND EVEN THOUGH I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR IT STRUGGLES TO GO BACK. THIS HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR THREE TIMES ALREADY FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON JUNE 2017. THIS CAR STARTED FAILING WITHIN A MONTH.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LOW SPEED, THE FRONT TIRES MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS IN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY STATED IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT DUE TO THE TIRES NOT BEING THE CORRECT VERSIONS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE ARE THE STOCK TIRES. HONDA SOLD ME A VEHICLE WITH THE INCORRECT TIRES? I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE CORRECT TIRES, AND NO TIRE WILL FIX THIS ISSUE. THE RIM AND SIZE SINCE IT IS SPECIAL 19 INCHES FOR THIS MODEL, ALL 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT HAVE THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND NO RESOLUTION TO FIX THIS. GRINDING NOISE IS LOUD ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DRIVE THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD.

I GOT A FLAT TIRE IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE "FIX-IT" KIT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE A SPARE COULD NOT WORK. IT IS UNETHICAL TO SELL A CAR WITHOUT ADEQUATE FLAT TIRE REMEDIATION

THERE IS A NOTICEABLE AND VERY ANNOYING WIND NOISE AT EAR LEVEL FROM EITHER THE DRIVERS OR THE FRONT PASSENGERS WINDOW. VERY ANNOYING FOR THIS BRAND NEW ACCORD EX. WE HOPE NHSTA ACTS AND SUGGEST TO ISSUE TSB AND FIX FOR ALL THEIR VEHICLES.

I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE THRU A HONDA DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS 4 HOUR DRIVE FROM MY RESIDENCE. I'VE HAD TO GET VEHICLE JUMPSTARTED ON 4 OCCASIONS AND HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO GET IT INSPECTED UNDER WARRANTY TERMS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ONLY REPLACED BATTERY TWICE YET HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT PROBLEM. DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ALSO HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAS ALSO BEEN MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HONDA FINANCE CORPORATION CASE MANAGER BY THE NAME OF KIA WHO HAS BEEN GIVING ME RUNAROUND ALONG WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP, UNABLE TO SOLVE VEHICLE DEFECT/SAFETY ISSUE. THEY NOW SUGGEST I TAKE VEHICLE TO ORIGINAL HONDA DEALER OF PURCHASE WHICH IS A 4 HOUR DRIVE AND HAVE THEM REMOVE AFTER MARKET ALARM THEY INSTALLED WHICH MIGHT SUPPOSEDLY BE CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. HOWEVER, IT IS SPECULATION AND DRIVING LONG DISTANCE IS A HARDSHIP FOR ME AND VERY UNFAIR. I FEEL LIKE LOCAL HONDA DEALER SHOULD FIX PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE CAR SAFEY ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. YOUR ASSISTANCE AND GUIDANCE IS VERY APPRECIATED.

2017 ACCORD LX * AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION * 3000 MILES I HAVE NEW ACCORD LX AND THE I DROVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY, MY WIFE AND I NOTICED WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL. WE CHECKED THAT ALL THE WINDOW AND DOORS WERE FIRMLY SHUT, BUT IT PERSISTED. NOW WITH THE RADIO OFF I NOTICE IT EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE TO ABOVE 40 MPH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE SEAT BELT WAS ADJUSTED IN ANY POSITION ON THE ANCHOR PLATE, THE SEAT BELT ENCOUNTERED THE CONTACT'S NECK. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, IT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LUTHER BROOKDALE HONDA (LOCATED ON 6800 BROOKLYN BLVD, BROOKLYN CENTER, MN 55429). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,440.

SEAT SHOULDER BELT CONTINUOUSLY SLIIDES UPWARD TO A HORIZONTAL POSITION-- ACROSS NECK AND OVER TO RIGHT UNDERARM.THE BELT EDGE LAYS NEXT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK WHICH SEEMS POTENTIALLY FATAL IN A CRASH. I NEED TO PULL THE BELT BACK TO CENTER EVERY FEW MINUTES WHEN I AM DRIVING THIS CAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM IN OTHER CARS.

I purchased the car new on 9/16/16. I have had to replace the battery 4 times and I have had several incidents where the car froze/stalled, especially on left hand turns, for no reason, causing several near-misses from oncoming traffic. This is the record of car issues reported: 4/25/17 @ 9,197 miles – “freeze” issue first reported to the dealer. I did my best to describe it as a loss of power/unable to accelerate through an intersection. Upon a test drive with the service tech, I was unable to re-enact the problem. The dealer could not find any cause for the failure. 10/5/17 @ 15,604 mi - 2nd “freeze” issue reported. Dealer replaced battery stating dead cell was noted and instructed me to keep it out of ECO mode. 3/1/18 - Complained to Dealer that the car was idling rough. Could not find cause. 7/26/18 @ 26,363 mi - 3rd freeze issue complaint, however, no recommendations made. Also complained about idle and vibration in steering wheel. Could not find cause. 5/3/19 @ 36,660 mi - New battery purchased @ Interstate. 2/8/21 @ 56,785 mi - Battery purchased @ Honda for $188. Interstate refunded the purchase price of the battery from 5/19. 3/14/22 @ 73,924 mi - Battery replaced @ Honda. Dealer stated they noted the starter was sticking and it was replaced for $758. I continue to have issues with the car losing power in the middle of a turn, particularly when turning left and have adjusted the collision detection sensor. There are no warning lights or other indicators that I'm losing power... it just happens. I have adjusted by not attempting a turn in the presence of oncoming traffic.

MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING HAS UNINTENDED BREAKING ONCE THE GAS PEDAL IS RELEASED, RATHER THAN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP IT ABRUPTLY APPLIES THE BREAKS ON ITS ON WITHOUT ANY CAR IN SIGHT (THEREFORE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SAFETY FEATURE) WHETHER I AM DRIVING ON A FLAT EVEN SURFACE ROAD, UP OR DOWN A HILL. IN ORDER TO PREVENT OR MINIMIZE THE UNEXPECTED BREAKING I AM HAVING TO APPLY THE GAS TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT VELOCITY BEFORE APPLYING THE BRAKES. EVEN IF I AM GOING 40,30, 25 MPHS AND I APPLY THE BRAKES TO GRADUALLY COME TO A STOP THE CAR IS STILL STOPPING ABRUPTLY ON ITS OWN WITH ITS UNANNOUNCED BRAKING AS IT GOES FROM 40 TO 30 AND SO FORTH AND OVERRIDING MY APPLICATION OFF APPLYING THE BRAKES. AND TO BE CLEAR IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LEVEL OF PRESSURE APPLIED OR NOT APPLIED ON THE BRAKES, ETC. THERE IS ALSO A NOISE THAT I HAVE PICKED UP EACH TIME IT BRAKES. NOT TO MENTION THAT I HAVE ALSO DRIVEN A SIMILAR YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF THE NEW CAR I PURCHASED AND THIS DID NOT OCCUR, SO IT'S DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR (WHETHER ITS SOFTWARE RELATED, ETC.). IN ADDITION TO THIS I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE RPMS WHEN THE CAR IS IDLING WHILE ON PARK OR WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IS HIGHER THAN NORMAL (OVER 750RPMS, WHEN IT SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN 500RPMS WHEN IDLING), WHICH MIGHT EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR IS JOLTING ON ITS OWN WHEN I RELEASE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WITHOUT APPLYING THE GAS. WHEN A CAR IS DRIVEN AT A SPEED OF 40MPS, ETC MPHS AND YOU RELEASE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO DECELERATE SLOWLY ON ITS OWN, NOT GO THROUGH MOMENTS WHERE IT APPLIES HARD BRAKING THEN RESUMES GRADUAL DECELERATION TO THEN AGAIN STOP ABRUPTLY, WHICH IS WHAT THIS CAR IS CONSTANTLY DOING. NOT TO MENTION THAT EVEN MAINTAINING CRUISING SPEED (WHETHER 25, 40 65) IN THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO HOLD THE SPEED AT A CONSTANT RATE, IT EITHER DECIDES TO SPEED UP OR DECELERATE ON ITS OWN.

SEATS ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. THEY ARE MADE FOR A MUCH LARGER PERSON AND PUSH MY HEAD FORWARD. I CAN'T FIND A CAR WITH SEATS THAT FIT ME. THIS COULD LEAD TO A DANGEROUS DRIVE.

ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER (HONDANATION KNOXVILLE), AND BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE, THE 2017 HONDA ACCORDS HAVE A KNOWN "ACCELERATION LAG" PROBLEM. OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION, OR EVEN A SLOW-TURN OR MERGE POSITION, THERE CAN BE A 1 TO 3 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND ACTUALLY GETTING THE CAR TO MOVE. THIS CAN PRESENT A HIGHLY SERIOUS SITUATION. IN EFFECT, THE CAR CAN STALL FOR A 1 TO 3 SECOND PERIOD WHILE ONCOMING TRAFFIC CLOSES IN ON YOU. SOMETIMES YOU CAN PRESS THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE, ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR "LURCH" A SECOND OR TWO LATER. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS MOST FREQUENTLY IN CITY DRIVING AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FOR THIS WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM. LOGIC SAYS THAT AT SOME POINT SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN ACCELERATION LAG PROBLEM AFFECTING LATE MODEL HONDAS.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT AND WHEN WE CAME OUT AT NIGHT THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WHERE FULLY OPEN ON A RAINY NIGHT SO I HAVE A LOT OF WATER DAMAGE ALSO. I SEEN THAT PEOPLE SAY THAT THE REMOTE COULD HAD BEEN PRESS BUT THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE KEYS WHERE JUST LAYING ON THE TABLE. ALSO THE CMARA TO BACK UP AND THE LANE CHANGING DON'T WORK SOMETIMES.

IN JAN OF THIS YEAR, I GOT A FLAT TIRE WHICH COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. IT WAS ON A WEEKEND AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. I WAS FORCED TO BUY A REPLACEMENT TIRE OF A DIFFERENT BRAND, BUT THE SAME SIZE ETC. BECAUSE I HAD TO TRAVEL TOO FAR BEFORE MONDAY AND THE SPARE WOULD NOT BE SAFE. IN APPROX. ONE MONTH MY TPMS LIGHT CAME ON AND I STOPPED TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE. THE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. I LATER WENT TO THE TIRE COMPANY FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE TIRE AND THEY SHOWED ME HOW TO RESET IT. AFTER ONLY 3 OR 4 MILES, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THE SERVICE MANAGER CORROBORATED WHAT THE TIRE COMPANY HAD TOLD ME AND THAT WAS THAT THE NEW SYSTEM ON HONDA CARS MEASURED, "ROTATIONS" AND NOT "ACTUAL TIRE PRESSURE." SO, THE OFF-BRAND I WAS FORCED TO BUY WAS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE HONDA SENSOR SYSTEM AND THAT IT WAS A "FLAW." THE TPMS MONITOR PROBLEM LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON EACH TIME I START THE CAR. I ASKED HIM HOW I COULD KNOW IF MY TIRES WERE REALLY LOW AND HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY CHECK THEM AND THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT! I TOOK MY CAR IN AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE TIRE SYSTEM. THE SERVICE PERSON SPOKE WITH ME ABOUT THE TIRE LIGHT AND SAID THAT I HAD PURCHASED A NON-HONDA RECOMMENDED TIRE AND IT WAS MY FAULT. I CALLED HONDA CORP AND AT FIRST THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL HOEHN HONDA TO WORK WITH ME FOR A FIX. BUT I RECEIVED NO CALL. LATER I SPOKE WITH A HONDA CORP LADY WHO SAID THAT HONDA DID NOT SELL THE CAR AND THAT THE DEALER WAS RESPONSIBLE! TWO VERSIONS OF THE SOLUTION. I CALLED ANOTHER DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS MY FAULT AND THAT THE CAR INFO RECOMMENDS THE DEALER BRAND AND THAT THEY BE BOUGHT IN PAIRS OF TWO ! REALLY? SO, I DON'T HAVE A BROKEN TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM THAT I PAID FOR AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I WILL NOT KNOW IF MY TIRES ARE FLAT. AND THE TBMS LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON! HELP
