FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
in the last 10 days, we there's been 4 incidents where the vehicle suddenly brakes when travelling on high speeds on the freeway out of nowhere. We were almost involved in a serious car accident yesterday where a vehicle behind us narrowly got out of the way. Took vehicle to honda dealership service and they claim they cant find any issues with braking system or sensors and they are not aware of any braking issues with this model. When i told them that i found online that theres an investigation opened last year about this issue in other accords, they had no idea what i was talking about and asked them to google it and they refuse. They refuse to fix the issue and suggest to just keep driving the vehicle since theres nothing for them to fix.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Both low beam headlights burn out at the "same time". This has happened twice in 1 year. I have not had any inspections done yet. If this happens at night or in a tunnel it could be life threatening. Purchased used from a friend who has taken care of the vehicle. I have not checked with him to see if he ever had it happen due to he is no longer living here. First time I just replaced both bulbs and they worked fine. Now about 8 months later same problem. No moisture visible. High beams work but only when switch is in automatic mode. I will replace again, nothing else I can do at the moment.

The two catelletic converters are broken at the same time? The part guy said 1 is broken and the other just isn’t working. How can this be on a car that has less than 125,000 miles?

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
ALL dashboard warning lights come on.(brakes, VSC, steering, etc) Message says take to dealer. After doing a Google search, it appears to be a COMMON ISSUE for Honda Accords for 2018 and newer. They will come on and either stay on for days/weeks at a time and then just go off on their own. Dealer has no solution.

TIRES:SIDEWALL, TIRES:BEAD, TIRES
235/40R19 is the tire size. All 4 tires were purchased in October of 2021 and at that time the vehicle had 34,014 miles on it. I purchased the Firestone Firehawk tires model 004349 Firehawk AS BL XL 96V, with a 50k limited thread life warranty. Now, on 02/03/2023, I went in for my routine scheduled tire rotation and oil change and was advised I need all new 4 tires. The technician brought me to the vehicle and showed me that the sidewall in the side facing under the vehicle has major separation, cracking, and metal showing through along the time and bead/sidewalk of the tire. This damage was on all four tires and at multiple areas along the rim base. The technician said he never seen tires do this on all four at the same time but offered no explanation as to how or why this happened. All they could do was prorate the existing thread life warranty but nothing else. I explained to the technician that this wasn’t a thread life issue and it was a major defect in these tires to separate and crack like they did on all four tires. I told him this could have caused a 4 tire blowout and was a huge safety concern that needed to be addressed with Firestone corporation. Nonetheless, they brushed it off and offered new tires or I could take the car like it was and go elsewhere. I again told them these tires were only 16 months old and 38k miles on them and that they should not have failed like they did, especially not all 4 at the same time. One tire I could understand, but all four of the same brand tire installed at the same time failed. So with no real other options to go elsewhere, as it was already past 5pm on a Friday and I lived an hour away, I had no choice but to purchase tires there, as my safety and the safety of others around me could be seriously injured or killed if I left driving on those damaged tires. I’ve included pictures of two of the tires as they had already lowered the car down so I couldn’t take the other 2. Both invoices are attached as well.

STEERING
The power steering system of the car (68000 miles on odometer) abruptly stopped working while pulling away from the curb at the airport. Car was turned off and restarted; the steering warning light which had appeared went away. Steering worked well for a couple of weeks when it failed again while driving 60 MPH on the interstate. This was very scary and dangerous to myself and other motorists! Fortunately I was able to steer across lanes to right berm and stop. Car was restarted and taken to service location. The steering warning light was cleared and we were told to take the car to a Honda dealer. Honda dealer had car for over a week but could not get steering to 'act up'. For approximately the next 11 months, steering would randomly go off without warning. This happened in parking situations and also while turning on city roads. Eventually steering warning light could no longer be cleared by turning off motor and restarting. Honda dealer replaced entire steering rack and assembly for over $3500. Since steering system has been replaced, we have had no steering problems.
