Hello, i want to report an issue with my honda accord 2.0t 2021. When i drive in rainy or snowy day all lights come up on dashboard and probably 70% of the futures gets disabled. Things that gets disabled: Back up camera, line assistant, trunk doesn’t open, A/C doesn’t work, windshield wipers spray doesn’t work, high beam doesn’t work, horn gets stuck and beeps and the only way to shut off is to stop and disconnect the battery, otherwise it beeps non stop. I record a video and here is the link. Thank you https://youtu.be/ABoYlunVNVo

The trunk will not close properly. It appears as if the trunk itself is not even. There is a gap on the side that is larger than the area on the left side. Almost as if the trunk was pulled from another vehicle that wasn't quite the same model. The trunk latch does not close on the first try nor the second or third. Now its not closing at all. Just bought the vehicle Feb. 28, 2023 and already having issues. It was sporadic now it wont close at all.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Sunroof exploded and shattered spontaneously without any signs of being hit by a flying debris or foreign objects, while driving approximately at 70 mph along I-15 North, between the Nisqualli and Palmdale Road exits, in Victorville, CA 92392. No vehicle was ahead of me and two cars approximately 300 feet behind were following me. This happened on a Sunday between 1-2 pm. I did not know that there were incidents of spontaneous explosion and shattering of sunroofs until I was able to read an article while shopping online for a genuine Honda sunroof replacement, since Valley-Hi Honda informed me that the part is backordered with no ETA. I hope Honda will replace it for free with a recall advisory.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
We were traveling on California Interstate 5 North. About 5 miles south of Junction 152 the car started malfunctioning. Suddenly there was acceleration beyond my control. I pushed the brake as hard as I could. It felt like the car was going to explode. Somehow miraculously the car landed on the shoulder of the freeway. It missed hitting any other cars or trucks. This was a rental car from Avis. I, my wife and another passenger came very close to death. For several minutes we were just shivering. We decided to slowly get back on the freeway with the hazard lights on. We didn’t was to be stranded in the middle of nowhere. At speeds of under 50 mph we eventually reached our destination. The next morning we again put the hazard lights on and took the car to Avis where we explained what happened. The agent gave us a replacement vehicle and said that they would put the malfunctioning vehicle out of circulation. Speaking to others we found out that Honda vehicles have had runaway acceleration.

STEERING
Driving in rainy conditions, no puddles or standing water observed on road. Driving about 50mph, slight bend in road. The car suddenly veers left and I cannot control the car with steering wheel. The car hits the median, spins completely around and then hits median again and stops. I put the car in park and turned the car off. The airbags on driver’s side windows, steering wheel, and driver’s seat deployed. I did not see any warning lights. I have second degree burns on left hand and left forearm. The car is being looked at by an independent service at this time. I have not contacted manufacturer. If the insurance company does not think the car is totaled, and we fix the car, how do I know this won’t happen again?

STEERING
The electronic power steering started pulling right unexpectedly. It started without any warning or indication. One day I just started the engine, started driving and power steering began to pull the car to right side. The dealer diagnosed the car and found no error codes and no damage. Dealer said I need to replace entire electric power steering rack.

SERVICE BRAKES
On four occasions I was required to slam in my brakes to avoid hitting a car in front of me on major highways in Virginia. When engaging the brakes the antilock brakes did not engage, the idle system (such as when you come to a red light and brake cuts the engine idle) kicked in and I lost the ability to steer. I had to release the brake for the idle to re-engage then hit the brake again. I finally was able to stop but left approximately 6 feet of skid marks on the highway. I have reported this to my dealership for them to say brakes are performing as designed and they did nothing. My car has been at the dealership for 2 weeks and I’m driving a loaner. Rear brakes have high pitch noise when backing up but dealership said they can’t recreate it therefore will do nothing. I had one service manager say he did recreate the noise and was fighting to get rear brakes replaced but then called back to say “I misspoke and Honda did not hear the noise so not replacing rear brakes. All phone messages are recorded on my cell phone. I have filed a complaint with Honda Corporate and also called local law enforcement to see where liability falls if my brakes fail again and I hit someone (faulty equipment charge). Was informed by police to have all service orders in the car to confirm I did all I could to get my brakes fixed. So three trips to dealership, almost 4 accidents, and car has approximately 24k miles on it. No idea if this is a sensor problem or several interactions between all the different systems but this is a major problem. Your engine shouldn’t cut off and cause steering problems when you brake the car and are still moving forward. No one can give me options with this car other then trade it in and get something else. This is not acceptable. Someone could be seriously injured. I don’t want to be that driver.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The V6 version is under recall. However, this vehicle should be as well. The car fails to accelerate. My car was at the Honda Dealership for over ten days. I came in because my car was unexpectedly unable to accelerate. Honda advised me there wasn't a code but I needed a new battery and other maintenance. I picked up my car, and within 1 mile, I could not accelerate when exiting and was nearly in an accident. Honda advised me at first the car had a misfire and then was unable to duplicate the error. I advised them that it was a safety hazard to drive the vehicle, and if I leave the shop and get into an accident it would be their fault. The next day they said it was a valve issue, and now fuel injectors. I did a search online, and many Honda Accords 2017 owners have the same issue.

For no known reason numerous warning lights appeared on dashboard (steering, LDW, FCW failure, brakes, low tire pressure). Power steering completely stopped working. It appears ABS, lane departure warning and forward collision warning systems all stopped working. Glad this happened to me and not my wife. It is her car. Dangerous as heck!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
After having my Honda Accord sport 2015 4 cylinder, I started to notice around 90k miles an occasional grinding noise when starting the car that is getting progressively worse. I've had previous Hondas with many more miles and never had this issue before. I believe the issue is the starter, but I have not been able to take it to the mechanic yet. I intend to go this weekend. I'd like to also state there have been numerous reports regarding starters for a V6 engine, and I believe it is the same for 4 cylinders.

POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
There has been a series of constant issues with this model and each issue has been brought to a certified Honda dealership and was supposedly "fixed" engine code P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire),P2651 B rocker arm Actuator system, P0087 Fuel Rail/system pressure, P0304,P0303 cylinder 3 and 4 misfire, engine temperature always above normal. These issues on multiple situations has put my safety and the safety of others at the highest risk. The motor vehicle due to these issues randomly would lose power to the point where stepping on the gas doesn't not accelerate the car, forcing me to stop in the middle of the highway having other vehicles stop suddenly and swerve around me with children in the vehicle. Another occasion going up a hill the car beings to stutter losing power resulting to the car shutting off, forcing me engage These reoccurring issues have also randomly caused the vehicle to not start. Multiple warning signs are lit across the dashboard. These occurrence are random with no warning sign The vehicle has been brought to the same dealership numerous times claiming each issue was fixed but within a few weeks more issues came. The last visit i was told as a "solution" i need to buy a new engine out of pocket, unacceptable for a Honda engine with 64000 miles on it. This oil dilution issue need a proper answer before someone is serious injured.
