2018 Honda Accord Complaint Log

VEHICLE EXHIBITED ELECTRONIC BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE AFTER LESS THAN 100 MILES OF DRIVING. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A HARD "STEP" IN IT, AND GRABS VERY SUDDENLY ONCE THE STEP IS OVERCOME. THIS MAKES SMOOTH BRAKING, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THE SUGGESTED FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE BOOSTER (01469-TVA-A24). THE NEW BRAKE BOOSTER SHOULD RETURN THE BRAKE PEDAL TO NORMAL, AND RESTORE A SMOOTH LINEAR BRAKE. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 2018 ACCORD AS THE PART (01469-TVA-A24) IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND MY VEHICLE WILL SPEND OVER 2 WEEKS IN THE SHOP!!!

TPMS LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING COMES ON ABOUT EVERY 2 DAYS. EACH TIME EVERY TIRE IS THE EXACT SAME PRESSURE AND NOT LOW. TPMS IS RECALIBRATED, 2 DAYS LATER IT COMES ON AGAIN. LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. SYSTEM SEEMS TOO SENSITIVE.

THE TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION DOESN'T ALWAYS DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED. IT HAS DISPLAYED 100MPH IN A 65 ON I-40 GOING FROM NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR. WEST. I DO HAVE A PIC OF IT. DIFFERENT AREAS IT WILL EITHER DISPLAY THE INCORRECT SPEED OR NOT DISPLAY IT AT ALL. MY HONDA DEALER CHECKED IT OUT, STATED IT WAS WORKING CORRECTLY. IT DOES AT TIME, AT TIMES IT DOESN'T. I HAVE TALKED WITH HONDA, THEY STATED THERE ARE VARIOUS FACTORS THAT CAN INTERFERE WITH THE CAMERA READING THE SIGNS. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS, ACCESS ROADS & THE INTERSTATE. IT'S INTERMITTENT.

BRAKES ARE VERY TOUCHY AND WHEN BRAKING PEDAL SOMETIMES GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. CAR DOES NOT STOP SMOOTHLY AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE DIFFERENT STAGES WHEN BREAKING. IT ALSO JERKS WHEN WHEN LIGHTLY TOUCHING BREAK WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD.

THE BRAKES ARE VERY TOUCHY. FEELS LIKE REAR BRAKE BIAS IS VERY STRONG. BRAKING SMOOTHLY IS IMPOSSIBLE. DANGEROUS ON SLICK ROADS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE TECH DROVE THE CAR AND SAID BRAKES WERE NORMAL. WE DROVE ANOTHER ACCORD AND IT ALSO HAD TOUCHY BRAKES. I HAVE NEVER DROVE A CAR WITH BRAKES THIS TOUCHY. I HAD ABOUT 200 MILES AT THE TIME. I NOW HAVE 7000 MILES AND THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY BETTER.

BRAKES GRABBING AND ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE. AT LOW SPEEDS, TOUCH BRAKES LIGHTLY AND THEY DO LITTLE TO STOP THE CAR. DEPRESS BRAKES HARDER AND THE PEDAL 'STEPS' IN AND THE BRAKES GRAB ABRUPTLY. VERY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE SMOOTHLY / NON-ABRUPTLY. AS A RESULT, AT LEAST ONE TIME ABS KICKED IN PREMATURELY WHEN ROAD SURFACE COVERED WITH SNOW. BUT CORE PROBLEM (GRABBY BRAKES) ARE IRRESPECTIVE OF ROAD SURFACE.

SOY WIRE HARNESSES SHOULD BE BANNED AND RECALLS INSTITUTED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY EITHER (A) REPLACING THE HARNESSES WITH STANDARD SYNTHETIC NON-EDIBLE POLYMERS AS APPROPRIATE TO THE SPECIFIC APPLICATION, OR (B) PROVIDING COATINGS THAT PROVABLY PREVENT RODENTS FROM CONSUMING THE INSULATION OVER THE LIFESPAN OF THE VEHICLE

LOUD CLUNK IS CONSISTENTLY HEARD AND FELT EVERY TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED AFTER BEING DEPRESSED. THE NOISE IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN COLD WEATHER AND CAN BE HEARD ABOVE THE RADIO AND ROAD NOISE. THE LOUD CLUNK SOUND OCCURS WHETHER OR NOT THE CAR IS MOVING, OR THE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR THE IGNITION/ACCESSORY POWER IS TURNED ON. THE NOISE CAN BE CONSISTENTLY REPRODUCED AND EMANATES FROM THE FIREWALL AREA UNDER THE DASH WHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL LINKAGE ATTACHES TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

WITH 30 MILES ON MY NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD 1.5L TOURING THE BRAKE ALARM ACTIVATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS. IT WAS DANGEROUS AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF I COULD STOP THE CAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ELECTRIC BRAKE BOOSTER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS ON THE INTERNET REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, RESTARTED IT, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHAPMAN HONDA OF TUCSON (4426 E 22ND ST, TUCSON, AZ 85711), BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 06589496. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. *TT

THE CAR STUTTERS OR STAMMERS WHEN YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR/GAS PEDAL AT TIMES, IT DOES NOT DO IT AT ALL TIMES. IT IS DANGEROUS. IT WAS STATIONARY AT A STOP LIGHT, OR PULLLING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION.

THIS CAR HAS STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF BAD BUILD QUALITY. 1ST 2 DAYS AFTER BUYING THE CAR ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON SO I HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR A MODULE REPLACEMENT. 2ND THE CAR IS VERY LOUD ( THE ROAD NOISE AND ENGINE NOISE) WORSE NOISE I'VE EVER HEARD FROM A NEW CAR AND SOUND LIKE IT'S HAS EXHAUST LEAKS. T|E VEHICLES RIDE IS VERY HARD LIKE THE STRUTS ARE WORN OR BOTTOMING OUT AND IT'S NOT THE 17 INCH TIRES AS MY FUSION HAS 17'S. THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN ITS LANE EVEN WITH ALL OF THE LANE KEEP TECHNOLOGY I HAVE A HARD TIME STAYING STRAIGHT ESPECIALLY WHEN I HIT BUMPS THE CAR HOPS AROUND LIKE IT HAS WORN STRUTS. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR HARD ON PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP.

BOUGHT VEHICLE NOV 22,2017. THE FOLLOWING WEEK WHEN COMMUTING HOME FROM WORK A LIGHT CAME ON WHILE USING DRIVER ASSIST SHOWING COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THE SHOP FOREMAN SAID TO TAKE A PHOTO IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE COMMUTE HOME WHILE USING DRIVER ASSIST SHOWING THE SAME MESSAGE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THE 2ND TIME AND THEY KEPT IT A FEW DAYS SO THE FOREMAN COULD REPLICATE THE ISSUE. HE COULDN'T REPLICATE IT AND TOLD US TO TAKE IT BACK AND TAKE A PHOTO AND RECORD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HE ALSO THOUGHT OUR COMMUTER TRANSPONDER MIGHT BE INTERFERING WITH THE HONDA COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY. THE 3RD TIME ON THE COMMUTE HOME WAS A SCARY SITUATION WHEN NOT ONLY THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, THE BRAKES ENGAGED AT APPROX. 55 MPH AND WE THOUGHT SOMEONE REAR ENDED US IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY. THANKFUL NO ONE HIT US OR US HITTING THEM. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER OVER 2 WEEKS AGO AND AND THEY ARE TRYING TO REPLICATE IT ONCE AGAIN. NOW THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE FACT THE BRAKES ANGAGED ON THE FREEWAY AT 55 MPH. WE REFUSE TO DRIVE IT. THE DEALER CALLED US TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE THEY INSTALLED A RECORDING DEVICE WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO US TO SUBJECT ANYONE TO A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. WE UNDERSTAND THEY ARE TRYING TO REPLICATE IT BUT SOMEONE COULD BE HURT OR KILLED. WE ARE IN LIMBO AND ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED.

WHEN I CRANK CAR AND PULL OFF IT JUMPS REAL HARD AND SAY COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM FAILURE SEE DEALER. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO KEEP TURNING BRAND NEW CAR OFF FOR IT TO DO RIGHT. PLEASE RECALL ALL ACCORDS VERY BAD HONDA THIS ONE IS HORRIBLE. VEHICLE WAS ON A REGULAR STREET GOOD CONDITION MIAMI FL. THE SIDE MIRRORS SHAKE ALL THE TIME. THE MUSIC ALWAYS TAKE TIME TO LOAD. DEFECT IN WHOLE CAR PLEASE PLEASE RECALL BEFORE INJURY.

I PURCHASED A 2018 HONDA ACCORD TOURING IN OCTOBER 2017 AND SINCE THAT TIME MY LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS COME ON AROUND 8 TIMES. IT COMES ON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND USALLY WHEN I'M TAKING A TRIP BUT NOT ALWASYS; SOMETIMES IT IS CITY DRIVING. EACH TIME I'M TOLD TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS IT COMES ON AGAIN. I'M CURRENTLY WORKING WITH HONDA COPORATION TRYING TO GET IT RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL CANNOT GET INTERNET SITES TO ACCEPT MY VIN, LICENSE ENTRIES TO LEARN IF CAR IS DUE FOR RECALL WORK ON AIR BAG
