2017 Honda Accord Complaint Log

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6 AT A DEALERSHIP IN DULUTH GEORGIA. WE TRADED A 2007 HONDA ACCORD AFTER HAVING HAD AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE WITH IT. THIS NEARLY NEW VEHICLE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE 2007. IT IS MOSTLY GOOD BUT I DISCOVERED WHAT I CONSIDER A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED, TO REDUCE SPEED OR COME TO A FULL STOP, THERE IS NEARLY A HALF SECOND DELAY AFTER LIFTING YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL BEFORE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMES FUNCTIONAL. IF YOU HAPPENED TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PRIOR TO THE END OF THE DELAY, THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD AND YOU COULD IMPACT THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF YOU, OR IF YOU ARE MOVING FORWARD AND BRAKE AGAIN TO OFFSET THE FORWARD LURCH, THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU COULD ASSUME YOU WERE MOVING FORWARD AND REAR END YOU BECAUSE YOU BRAKED UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS SITUATION COULD ALSO BE A PROBLEM WHEN STOPPED ON A HILL EITHER UP OR DOWN. THE DELAY CREATES A MOMENT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF CONTROL AND UNSAFE. THE FIX COULD POSSIBLE BE TO REDUCE THE TIME OF THE LAG OR ELIMINATE THE LAG SITUATION COMPLETELY IN THE COMPUTER MODULE. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS CONCERN!

THE CAR BATTERY DOES NOT HOLD CHARGE. IF THE CAR IS NOT USED FOR THREE DAYS TO A WEEK, THE BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD. THE CAR MUST BE JUMP START. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE SAME PROBLEM. BASED ON MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE, CAR BATTERY LASTS SEVEN TO TEN YEARS BEFORE EXPERIENCING ANY TROUBLE. I THINK EITHER THERE IS A FAULTY SENSOR OR A SYSTEM IN THE CAR THAT STAYS ON WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS TURNED OFF RESULTING IN THE COMPLETE DISCHARGE OF THE BATTERY.

THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE BY ITSELF, A CAR ONLY WITH 13,000 MILES AND 1 YEAR OF USAGE THAT MEANS ALMOST BRAND NEW CAR. I DROVE 9 MILES APROX. FROM HOME TO MY WORK LOCATION. WHEN I ARRIVE AND PARK THE CAR BEFORE GOING UPSTAIRS, I SAW THE CAR BLOWING UNUSUAL SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, I OPENED THE HOOD AND I SAW THE FIRE WAS COMING BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE RADIATOR. I CALL THE 911 AND WHEN THEY ARRIVED THEY TRIED TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER BUT THE FIRE STARTED GETTING OUT OF CONTROL, FORCING THEM TO USE THE WATER HOSE TO STOP THE FIRE. HONDA IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND NO BODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION COMPLAINTS : APPROXIMATELY 6 - 7 TIMES, THE HONDA ACCORD INCREASED SPEED ON ITS OWN WHILE ENTERING HIGHWAYS OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO PARK THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EITHER TURNED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT DURING THE PROCESS. THE MOST CRITICAL INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 12/11/18 WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP IN A PARKING SPOT IN FRONT OF MY CONDOMINIUM. WHILE TURNING RIGHT INTO THE PARKING SPOT AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE HONDA VIOLENTLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER, BUT HAD TO QUICKLY PUSH THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO PARK IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE HONDA HAD JUMPED THE CONCRETE CURB, DROVE OVER THE SIDEWALK AND CONTINUED ACROSS THE GRASS UNTIL IT STOPPED ABOUT 3 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CONDO BUILDING. IF I DIDN'T FORCE THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH THE BUILDING. I WAS ABLE TO CALM DOWN, RESTART THE CAR AND PUT THE HONDA IN REVERSE TO BACK UP OVER THE SAME CURB INTO THE PARKING SPACE. I CONTACTED DAVIS HONDA AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO TRANSPORT IT FOR SERVICE. AS OF THIS DATE, DAVIS HONDA WILL BE TOWING THE HONDA ACCORD BACK TO MY ADDRESS IN MT. LAUREL, NJ. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT DUPLICATE ANY OF THE INCIDENTS, SO I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA AND OPENED UP A CASE. AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS TO CORPORATE, THEY INDICATED NO ISSUES WERE FOUND WITH HIS 2017 HONDA ACCORD AND I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. I NOTIFIED MY CAR INSURANCE COMPANY TO SEE IF THEY COULD ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE, NO HELP YET. A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY IN NJ ADVISED I NEED 3 SERVICE CHECKS, I ONLY HAVE 2 SO FAR. I GUESS I HAVE TO CRASH BEFORE HONDA WILL FIX IT. ACCORD ONLY HAS 3600 MILES ON IT.. 3 YEAR LEASE WITH 15 MONTHS TO GO.

Car radio, and the upper screen on top of the car radio restarts at random times either when using it or not using it, CarPlay restart the radio as well the upper screen random times when it restarts as well as the radio will not show you current drive trip or fuel amount. It goes in and out and restarts. The whole system went to the dealership many times and they say they see nothing wrong. I’ve looked up online to see if I can find a way or see if any other people are having an issue and from what I looked up there are a lot of people with 2016s 2017 with the same issue. I am occurring this issue has been going on for years since I brought the car. I brought the car brand new out of the dealership. I’m taking it many times to the Dealership service department and no one is able to assist me to correct the issue. I have also showed the service department video proof of the issue please I would appreciate if you guys could assist in this issue, whether if these radios of my car and many other peoples vehicles have to be replaced or God forbid there’s a loose wire in the back and this car has a really electrical problem and my car catch a fire. God forbid. But this issue has been going on for a while that for example I could be listening to music loud radio cancels out and then it will just come back on scaring me because it was locked as well as putting up and down the volume won’t work because the system freezes and it restarts itself and all this is while I’m physically driving can’t use navigation can’t use hands-free in my car due to this issue I also have video, but I’m not able to upload the video. It only allows me to upload photos. The photo that was uploaded is how my car screen looks now with no screen at all and as I’m speaking to you right now, the car is literally resetting itself again for the fifth time today even when the car radio and screen, reset there are still a major live in the system

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS PROCEEDING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, ANOTHER VEHICLE FAILED TO YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY AND CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND SMOKE ENTERED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND AWOKE TO FIND THAT THE SEAT BELT DID NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN HER, WHICH RESULTED IN INJURIES TO THE NECK, HEAD, AND SHOULDERS. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

THE TRUNK LID OPENS ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. REPORTED TO DEALER 3 TIMES. THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. MUST BE ELECTRICAL. WHEN I PUSH THE FOB BUTTON GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT WON'T OPEN. JUST RANDOMLY WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD - 35-50 MPH.

BLIND SPOT ASSIST CAMERA IS A DISTRACTION AND FLICKERS DUE TO OTHER VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT. HUGE DISTRACTION CAN BE DANGEROUS, NOT AN EFFECTIVE SAFETY FEATURE. DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOESN'T CLOSE. EVEN AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW STARTS TO CLOSE AND HALF WAY REOPENS. ALL WINDOWS CLOSE NOTICEABLY SLOWER. DEALERSHIP CAN'T REPLICATE ISSUE SO NO REPAIR. STILL HAVE THE ISSUE, EVEN WHEN PARKED THE WINDOW DOESN'T CLOSE.

THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) STRIP IS OUT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AFTER ONLY 9 MONTHS. I HAVE READ ABOUT 8 OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SPOKEN WITH OTHER ACCORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS ABSURDLY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE CONSIDERING IT IS ALL ONE ASSEMBLY. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DRL IN THAT SHORT OF A TIME, A COMPONENT THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO SAFETY, IS A SIGN OF POOR CRAFTING/MANUFACTURING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 40 MPH, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED AND SHE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE TO A BODY SHOP AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09105290. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,098. *DT CONSUMER CONTINUED TO BRAKE BUT THE BRAKE FAILED TO STOP. THE FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYED. UPDATED 02/01/19*JB

BATTERY DIED AFTER LESS THAN 2 YEARS OF USE. NEEDED TO REPLACE. NO ELECTRICAL USE OF THE VEHICLE, PEP BOYS SAYS ITS A COMMON ISSUE WITH NEW HONDAS. NEEDED TO TOW CAR AND DANGEROUSLY TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHEN THE BATTERY DIED.

LOUD CLICKING NOISE POSSIBLY IN LOCKING SYSTEM. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN IT DOES START THE NOISE, IT IS CONTINUOUS FOR SEVERAL MILES. IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I PARK AND LOCK THE DOORS FROM OUTSIDE AND THE LOCKS CONTINUE TO CLICK UNTIL I COME BACK TO THE CAR AND RE LOCK THE DOORS. IT WILL ALSO MAKE THE NOISE WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR AND I HAVE NOT STARTED THE CAR YET. SOMETIMES I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST STARTS THE CLICKING NOISE. ALSO THE ALARM HAS GONE OFF BY ITSELF WHILE PARKED AND I DIDN'T EVEN SET THE ALARM. THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ON DEC 21, 2017.

I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE THIS STRANGE ENGINE START ISSUE RECENTLY (WITH SHORT CIRCUIT SOUNDS). DEALERSHIP SERVICE DONE IN JULY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OR MY IGNITION SWITCH. DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE A CRITICAL ISSUE ' IT IS NOW LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROADS. I DON'T SEE ANY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE EITHER. I'M GLAD I NOTICED DURING SUMMER AS OTHERWISE COULD BE LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. I HAVE DESCRIBE THE EVENTS IN DETAILS IN THE ATTACHED PDF.

TAKATA RECALL TIRE MAKING NOISE ON RIM. LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE AFTER A FEW DAYS. TIRE SEEMS NOT TO HAVE A GOOD SEAT IN RIM. 19 FACTORY HONDA SPORT WHEEL ON CONTINENTAL TIRES. CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS IN CONTROL IF TIRE SLIPS OFF THE WHEEL.

LED HEADLIGHTS, LED LIGHT STRIP FOR DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT AFTER 25000 MILES AND ALMOST 2 YEARS.

FIRST ISSUE I NOTICED WITH MY CAR WAS THAT WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT ROAD IN THE MIDDLE LANE MY CAR WILL PULL SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, GARDEN STATE HONDA IN PASSAIC NEW JERSEY, AND THEY REPORTED THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. I DROVE THE CAR AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED. NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER, DCH PARAMUS HONDA IN PARAMUS NEW JERSEY, AND AGAIN IT WAS REPORTED BY THIS DEALER THAT THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. I DROVE MY CAR AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE DEALERS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. THE SECOND ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE (2/3/2018. 15691 MILES) ON THE SIDE AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO GARDEN STATE HONDA REGARDING THE TIRE DAMAGE AND THEY DECLINED REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE AND INCREASED THE TIRE PRESSURE TO 37PSI ON ALL FOUR TIRES WHICH IS ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE OF 33PSI FRONT TIRES, 32PSI REAR TIRES (I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE IN THE MORNING) MY CAR FELT STIFFER AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AFTERWARDS. MOREOVER, THE FRONT LEFT TIRE RIPPED ON THE SIDE AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-30MPH ON LOCAL STREETS (3/30/2018). THIS IS WHEN I HAD TO BUY TWO BRAND NEW TIRES YOKOHAMA ADVAN SPORT A/S XL FOR $174.88 EACH THAT REPLACED THE FRONT TWO DAMAGED TIRES. RECENTLY (8/24/2018. 22442 MILES) THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BENT AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 50-55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, A FIRE STARTED IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE POLICE IMPOUND LOT AND THEN RELEASED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER (ATLANTIC HONDA, LOCATED AT 1391 SUNRISE HWY, BAY SHORE, NY 11706, (631) 665-0005), THE MANUFACTURER, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DECLINED TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO CONCLUSIVE DETERMINATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

HONDA ACCORD 2017 CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) TORQUE CONVERTER SEAL LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. DEALER FIRST SAID IT WAS LEFT-OVER FROM ASSEMBLY, CLEANED IT. BUT LEAK PERSISTED. THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTED SEAL, AND YET PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY JUST WANTED ME TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THE CAR HAS ONLY 10K MILES. DRIVES NORMALLY. BUT LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID IS A TIME BOMB. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL GET WORSE AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION.

SO THERE ARE A FEW ISSUES WITH MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT FIRST ONE IS THE TIRE WHOOSHING SOUND IT MAKES I KNOW I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME THING AND I HAVE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE VERY FRUSTRATING THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED SECOND ISSUE MY TPM KEEPS COMING ON I JUST TOOK IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND HAD THE TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED AND ADJUSTED AND BARLEY A DAY LATER IT COMES BACK ON THE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS I CHECKED THE TIRES THEY ARE IN REALLY GOOD CONDITION LOTS OF LIFE ON THEM AND SAME RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING SUPER FRUSTRATING THIRD ISSUE IS THAT WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE AND THE INSIDE OF MY CAR GETS HOT MY SCREEN SHUTS OFF I AM TALKING THIS ONE IN TO THE DEALER TO LEAVE IT HOPEFULLY THEY CAN GET IT FIXED AND DON'T GIVE ME THE SAME ANSWER AS I GOT FOR ALL MY OTHER ISSUES

2017 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO HITTING A POTHOLE AS A RESULT 2 TIRES WERE RIPPED. CONSUMER IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS. *LD *JS

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated while accelerating from a stop light, the vehicle stalled. The contact continued to depress the accelerator pedal before the vehicle accelerated as needed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.

I HAVE STARTED NOTICING ENGINE ACCELERATION LAG, A TIRE/WHEEL NOISE FROM DRIVER FRONT/REAR SIDE. THE NOISE WAS VERY NOTICEABLE SINCE IT FELT LIKE THE TIRE/WHEEL WAS RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER SOMEWHERE. THE NOISE CAN BE HEARD DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF 15-30MPH HAVING THE WINDOW ROLL DOWN. JUNE 4TH, 2018 MADE A APPOINTMENT WITH PURCHASING DEALERSHIP YONKERS HONDA TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED. HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO I TEST DROVE WITH MECHANIC AND PROVED MY CASE. AFTER HEARING THE NOISE, THEY KEPT THE CAR TO FIX THE ISSUE AND WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR THE NOISE WAS BACK AGAIN. SINCE THEY COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE, THEY LABELED IT AS "NORMAL" AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE DESPITE SHOWING IT TO THEM AFTER MULTIPLE VISIT. I OPENED A CASE WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY COULD NOT GET YONKERS HONDA TO FIX THE ISSUE OR GET THE MANAGER TO CALL ME TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. INSTEAD, AMH ADVISED ME TO TRY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID, "NEW ROCHELLE HONDA" HOWEVER THEY WERE NO HELP WHATSOEVER. THEY DID NOT EVEN WANT TO WORK ON THE CAR DESPITE THEIR MECHANIC HEARING THE NOISE. THE DIRECTOR INFORMED THE MANAGER THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND FED HONDA LIES ABOUT DIRECTOR EVER CONTACTING ME OR TEST DRIVING WITH ME. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN, AND THEY DID NOT HELP ME INSTEAD TOLD ME TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I AM ON MY THIRD DEALERSHIP, WORKING WITH BRONX HONDA ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE SINCE JUNE 4TH, 2018 AND STILL NO FIX...NOW I AM EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION LAG, BRAKE ROTORS ISSUES, WHEEL VIBRATION, VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING FROM HIGH SPEED EVEN THOUGH BRONX HONDA RESURFACED THE BRAKE ROTORS INSTEAD OF REPLACING THEM WITH NEW ONE.

RESIDUE UNDER THE HOOD INSULATOR COVER IS ALWAYS WET/MOIST WITH LEFTOVER WHITE RESIDUE ON A BRAND NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD. INFORMED YONKERS HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT THERE COULD BE POSSIBLE LEAKAGE BUT DEALERSHIP DID NOT MAKE ANY THOROUGH INSPECTION FOR ANY LEAKAGE INSTEAD TOLD ME IT'S "NORMAL" VERBALLY HOWEVER IN WORK ORDER NO MENTION OF ANY INSPECTION FOR LEAK EVEN THOUGH MY WORK ORDER DESCRIPTION CLEARLY STATES IT SO.

HEAVY STEERING WHEELS AND FEEL STIFFER COMING OUT OF PARKING OR MAKING U TURN. ALSO, VIBRATION CAN BE FELT WHILE DRIVING AND/OR BRAKING 40MPH TO 60MPH. REPORTED TO YONKERS HONDA, NEW ROCHELLE HONDA, AND BRONX HONDA BUT DID ACKNOWLEDGE OR RESOLVE THE ISSUE, INSTEAD STATED EVERYTHING IS WORKING NORMAL WHEN IT IS NOT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HONDA OF ROANOKE, 403 PREMIER BLVD, ROANOKE RAPIDS, NC), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, IN THE CITY OF TUCSON, ARIZONA, I TURNED RIGHT ON A GREEN LIGHT AND HEARD A LOUD BANG COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST SINCE I WAS TURNING FROM A DEAD STOP. I COASTED INTO THE SERVICE STATION ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR IN ORDER TO PARK THE CAR. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES NOTHING HAPPENED. PLACED MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TWICE AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. I COASTED INTO THE BACK OF A TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED. TWO WITNESSES TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVER OF A TRUCK HAD RUN A RED LIGHT AND HIT ME. THE POLICE WERE CALLED, BUT WOULD NOT MAKE A REPORT. IN TUCSON, AZ, UNLESS TRAFFIC IS BLOCKED OR SOMEONE IS HURT THE POLICE WILL NOT RESPOND TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS TOOK PLACE DURING DAYLIGHT AROUND 7:15 AM. THE BRAKES WORKED LATER AT THE REPAIR SHOP. THEY DID NOT WORK IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE I WAS HIT.

CAR NEEDED TO BE JUMPED STARTED TWICE. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO FIND CAUSEO OF BATTERY NOT FUNCTIONING. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. BATTERY AND ALL OTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FAILED TO SHOW ANY CAUSE OF DEAD BATTERY. FIRST TIME, CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER WAITING 20 MINS. SECOND TIME, CAR IN GARAGE OVER NIGHT WOULD NOT START.

LED DRL PREMATURE FAILURE: I WRITE CONCERNING PREMATURE DRL LED FAILURE IN THE LED HEADLIGHTS OF MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING V6. THE LED DRL FAILED LESS THAN 18 MONTHS AND 22K MILES INTO BRAND-NEW OWNERSHIP. THE UNIT'S DESIGN IS SUCH THAT, SHOULD IT FAIL, COMPLETE AND COSTLY REPLACEMENT OF THE UNIT IS NECESSARY: $1500+. WHILE THE ITEM IS COVERED UNDER THE NEW CAR WARRANTY, SUBSEQUENT FAILURES OF THIS SUPPOSED SAFETY ITEM WOULD NOT BE COVERED, SHOULD ADDITIONAL PREMATURE FAILURE OCCUR, WHICH IS A MOST INCONVENIENT AND HAZARDOUS REALIZATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHILE IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK AND THEN DRIVE NORMALLY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED EVERY TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BREAKAWAY HONDA (LOCATED AT 330 WOODRUFF RD, GREENVILLE, SC 29607, (877) 701-4395) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09486822. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

THERE IS A LOUD SCRAPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE TIRE BEAD BETWEEN THE RIM AND TIRE. I HAVE CONTINENTAL TIRES WITH 19" SPORT RIMS. I HAD IT BROUGHT TO A HONDA DEALER 3-4 TIMES BEFORE THEY FINALLY TOLD ME HONDA HAS NOT SOLUTIONS TO THE ISSUE. THEY OFFERED GIVE ME A DISCOUNT TO GET ANOTHER SET OF TIRES. THEY WERE VERY SILENT ON TRYING TO FIND A FIX OR COMPENSATE COMPLETELY FOR THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO DIDN'T ADVISE IF THE ISSUE WAS HAZARDOUS OR SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE NOISE.

WHEELS MAKE RUBBING/GRINDING NOISE. IT'S CLEAR WHEN DRIVE AT SLOW SPEED AND NEXT TO A WALL. IT SOUNDS LIKE TWO METAL PARTS RUBBING/TOUCHING TOGETHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SCRAPING SOUND COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH MOTORS HONDA MIAMI LOCATED AT (16165 S. DIXIE HWY, MIAMI, FL 33157, (305) 853-9795 ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW TIRE HOWEVER, THE ISSUE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

The first instance occurred 04 Apr 2018, where while driving the car shutoff; I was able to coast to shoulder of road. After a brief amount of time I was able to restart, but it occurred again while heading to dealer location. The dealer blamed the malfunction on bad gas and could not replicate. (see R.O. 767659). 2nd occurrence was 25 May 2018 again. I was in an traffic light intersection and was able to coast through and get to side of road. Called dealer and their recommendation was to have car towed to dealership. They finally agreed there was a serious problem and replaced fuel pump assy. see (R.O. 773135 attached). I recvd 1st recall notice 20 Mar 2024 (parts unavail). I recvd 2nd recall notice Oct 2024. On visit to dealer they stated no repairs will be done unless symptoms occur. Since then I have been hesitant to drive car any distance. This situation could have deadly consequences if it occurs during high speed traffic. Only indicator inside car is "check engine" light. Honda has refuse to take action (been 6 months!) I tried to impress upon them I've experienced this scary situation already and it concerns me when I drive this car.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND YIELDING FOR A FIRE TRUCK, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT AND THE CONTACT WAS LAUNCHED FORWARD. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. POLICE AND FIRE REPORTS WERE FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE SEAT BELT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. *TT

WHEN DECELERATING WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY SUDDENLY BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. ALL AT ONCE, THE CAR'S CONTROL AND STEERING COULD NOT BE EASILY MANEUVERED AND ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM (EPS) INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHED. THERE WAS NO WARNING NOR INDICATION THAT THE STEERING WAS COMPROMISED. I MANAGED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE ALLOWING IT TO COAST. THE STEERING WILL WAS STIFF AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF TURNING DID NOT NOT CONTROL THE CAR ACCURATELY. I COASTED TO A STOP IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE EPS LIGHT WAS NOT PRESENT AND THE STEERING CONTROL WAS REESTABLISHED. THINKING THIS WAS POSSIBLE DUE TO A GLITCH, I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR ABOUT TWO MILES WHEN THE SYSTEM ONCE AGAIN WENT OUT AND THE EPS LIGHT SIGNALED AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, BUT WAS ABLE TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF TO RESET THE SYSTEM. I WAS ABLE TO THEN DRIVE THE CAR HOME. THE NEXT MORNING, WHILE DRIVING TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP, THE STEERING BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AND A BASIC TURN COULD NOT BE MADE WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A LOW SPEED. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED HOURS LATER TO NOTIFY ME THAT THEY WERE ORDERING A NEW POWER STEERING RACK. WHEN I INQUIRED AS TO WHAT THE ISSUE WAS I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CODE SIMPLY RECOMMENDED THE SYSTEM TO BE RESET, BUT "THEY DID NOT FEEL SAFE" ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT REPLACING THE SYSTEM. MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ONE YEAR. IT WAS PURCHASED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH 5,000 MILES ON IT AS THE MANAGER HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR APPROX. 7 MONTHS. THE CAR HAD THE 15,000 MILE SERVICE COMPLETED JUST LAST MONTH IN ADDITION TO AN OIL CHANGE.

FUEL DELIVERY IS STARVED AS IF THE FUEL PUMP IS FAILING CAUSING A DELAY IN ACCELERATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED; HOWEVER, DUE TO A DELAY IN THE CONTACT'S REACTION TIME, SHE CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST BRUISES, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. THE CONTACT CALLED GALPIN HONDA AT (818) 837-6100 (LOCATED AT 11151 LAUREL CANYON BLVD, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

BACKUP/REVERSE CAMERA HAS FAILED. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO REVERSE, THE IN CAR MONITOR DISPLAYS A BLACK SCREEN WITH YELLOW GRID LINES. CAMERA IMAGE IS NO LONGER DISPLAYED. RESETTING CAMERA SETTINGS TO DEFAULT DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AROUND SMALL CHILDREN. DRIVERS HAVE COME TO RELY ON BACKUP CAMERAS TO DETECT SMALL CHILDREN AND OBSTACLES THAT CANNOT BE SEEN WITH JUST THE USE OF A REAR VIEW MIRROR. A CAMERAS FAILURE CREATES A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGEROUS WHEN BACKING UP. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS 6 MONTHS OUTSIDE THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY AND HAS LESS THAN 32K MILES. THE CAMERAS FAILURE THIS EARLY IN THE VEHICLES LIFECYCLE IS INDICATIVE OF A DEFECT AND NOT DUE TO AGE. ADDITIONALLY, HONDA CAMERA FAILURES ARE A KNOWN ISSUE, SUBJECT TO A RECALL, ON 2018 HONDA ACCORDS. THERE IS A LIKELY POSSIBILITY THAT THE SAME CAMERAS WERE INSTALLED IN MANY 2017 HONDA ACCORDS.

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS BELOW 35MPH, THERE IS A SCRAPING NOISE. I HAVE HAD IT TO TWO HONDA DEALERS AND THEY BOTH SAY IT IS THE TIRE BEAD MAKING A SCRAPING NOISE. THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL FOR A 2017 ACCORD WITH THE SPORT PACKAGE THAT HAS THE 19" FACTORY WHEELS TO MAKE THIS NOISE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 15,000 MILES AND CORPORATE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND LOCKED. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE FOUR HOURS LATER ALL FOUR WINDOWS AND THE SUN ROOF WERE FULLY OPENED. THE KEY FOB WAS IN MY POCKET THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM AND THERE WERE NO WARNING OR FAILURE LIGHTS ACTIVATED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE CLOSE ALL WINDOWS WITH NO PROBLEM. I'VE NOT YET TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HONDA BUT I INTEND TO DO SO ASAP. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BUMPER STARTED TO MELT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DUBLIN HONDA, 6300 DUBLIN BLVD, DUBLIN, CA 94568), WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE BUMPER REPAIRS BUT STILL THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,661.

ENGINE STALLING

WHEN CAR IS RUNNING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE AND THEN STATIONARY (OUTSIDE IN THE DRIVEWAY) WITH THE CABIN AIR ON, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS COMING INTO THE CABIN AND IS VERY NOTICEABLE. I TOOK MY BABY DAUGHTER OUT FOR A DRIVE TO GET HER TO FALL ASLEEP AND WHEN I REACHED HOME I USUALLY SIT WITH HER IN THE CAR WHILE IT RUNS, BUT THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT I HAD TO WAKE HER AND REMOVE HER FROM THE CAR. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TODAY (01/29/18) WHO NOTED NO GAS LEAKS AND STATED THAT GAS GAP WAS NOT AS TIGHT AS IT COULD BE, BUT IT SEEMS IMPROBABLE THAT IT WOULD CAUSE THAT MUCH OF A SMELL IN THE CABIN. SEEING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR HONDA CR-V AND FEEL LIKE THE DEALER COULD DO MORE EXPLORATION, BUT DIDN'T SO THEY COULD NOT DO FURTHER EXPLORATION OF THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT SMELL THE GASOLINE BUT SOMETHING ELSE AND SAID IT WAS "OFF GASSING OF THE INTERNAL ENGINE COMPARTMENT CHEMICALS". BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I COULD SMELL GASOLINE.

THEN MANUAL STATES THE AIR BAG WILL GO OFF AT UNDER 65 LBS. MY 85 LB. GRANDSON, WEIGHED JANUARY 9, 2018, MAKES THE AIR BAG GO OFF WHEN HE SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING BUT STATIONERY. THE LIGHT OFF STAYS LITE THE WHOLE TIME HE IS IN THE SEAT. I HAVE GONE ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. MY DEALER JUST TELLS ME THAT THE GRANDSON SHOULD SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. CAN THIS BE FIXED TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG FOR THE OVER 65 LB. LIMIT?

SMELLS LIKE FISH WHEN TURNING ON THE HEAT & A/C. THE TIRES ARE DRY ROTTED. THIS CAR IS NOT BRAND NEW AND MUST HAVE COME FROM AN AREA WHERE THERE WAS FLOODING. LITHIA HONDA IN MEDFORD OREGON SELLING CARS THAT ARE REALLY TOTALED OUT CARS FROM FLOODS OR HURRICANE PRONE AREAS. THIS IS A DANGER, AS DRY ROT BLOW OUT TIRES MAY CAUSE SERIES ACCIDENTS. OUT POLICE OFFICERS ARE ALSO DRIVING ON THESE TIRES! DRY ROT TIRES.

THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL/TIRE HAS A GRINDING NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE BAD WHEEL BEARING. MAINLY HEARD AT LOW SPEEDS BUT IS GETTING LOUDER OVER TIME. HONDA SAYS IT IS THE CONTINENTAL TIRES. TIRE SHOP PUT DIFFERENT WHEELS AND TIRES ON THE CAR AND THE NOISE DID NOT GO AWAY. THE NOISE DOES NOT FOLLOW THE TIRES, TIRE SHOP SPIN BALANCES THE TIRES ON THE CAR. THEY SAID THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL IS MAKING A ROARING GRINDING NOISE. THIS IS WITH THE WHEEL AND TIRE OFF THE GROUND. HOW CAN TIRES MAKE A METAL GRINDING NOISE. HONDA DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM

WE FINANCED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT CVT ON JULY 17, 2017. WE HAVE NOTICED VARIOUS ISSUES WITH THE LAG/HESITATION UPON ACCELERATING AS WELL AS BRAKING AND STEERING. WE SEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REVOLVING AROUND THIS MODEL VEHICLE. LESS THAN 11,000 MILES, WE NOTICED THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKES WERE GETTING REALLY LOW AND WEARING UNEVENLY COMPARED TO THE OTHER THREE, I.E. SCREECHING; WHICH WAS ODD AND CONCERNING SINCE IT HAD 11,000 MILES AND ONLY ONE SIDE WAS WORN DOWN. DECEMBER 2017, THE PASSENGER FRONT BRAKES BECAME SO LOW, WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THERE WAS A METAL ON METAL, GRINDING NOISE. WE VISUALLY INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND COULD SEE THE BRAKE PADS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WERE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT, AS WELL AS THE WEAR ON THE ROTORS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 12-12-17 AND THEY CLAIMED THE BRAKE PADS WERE WEARING EVENLY/NORMAL; THE OTHER SERVICE STATION AT THIS LOCATION AGREED THAT ITS NOT NORMAL FOR THE CAR THE HAVE LESS THAN 12000 MILES FOR THE FIRST BRAKE PADS TO BE CHANGED LET ALONE WORN UNEVENLY. THE CONCERN WASN'T THE BRAKE PADS BEING CHANGED, IT IS THE MECHANICAL FUNCTION OF THE PISTON AND CALIPER WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, OR ANOTHER UNDERLYING ISSUE; HAVING LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ISN'T RIGHT. THEY DIDN'T CARE, THOUGHT WE WANTED BRAKES CHANGED FOR FREE. WE FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA REGARDING THE SAFETY AND WEAR OF THE BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS,TURNED THE ROTATORS. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE AND THE PISTON GETTING "HUNG" MAY BE THE UNDERLINING REASON FOR WHY THE CAR LAGS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IF IT IS DEPRESSED, ITS POSSIBLE THE BRAKES ARE WEARING DOWN WHILE ACCELERATING. SAFETY IS OUR FIRST CONCERN, AND WE FEEL THERE IS A DEEPER PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. WILL SPEAK IN FURTHER DETAIL REGARDING THESE AND OTHER ISSUES.

Glitchy infotainment system crashes (specifically Apple CarPlay). Users have to unplug phone and plug it back in multiple times while driving.
