SEATS
THE HEADRESTS PUSH A PASSENGER'S HEAD FORWARD SO A STRAIN IS PUT ON THE NECK AND DOES NOT SUPPORT FROM SHOULDERS UP TO UPPER PART OF HEAD. MY PASSENGER AND MYSELF ARE 5'-6" AND 5'10" TALL. IF DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS THE STRAIN IS UNBEARABLE. I WOULD SUGGEST HONDA REPLACE THE HEADRESTS TO SUPPORT THE HEAD WHEN IN A DRIVING POSITION.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AT APPROXIMATELY 33000 MILES THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WHICH ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES HAD TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM (ONLINE COMPLAINTS). HONDA SHOULD REPLACE OR REPAIR THESE FREE OF CHARGE SINCE IT IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD OCCURRENCE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN TRAVELING DOWN A ROAD STRAIGHT ABOUT 45 MPH THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM FLASHED 'BRAKE' ON THE CLUSTER AND THEN THE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME THAT I COULD SEE. CAR HAS 16000 MILES ON IT AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP IN TIME. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT A DIRTY CAMERA CODE SET.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
A YEAR AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE I HAD TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION ON 5/2017. AFTER THE THE FIRST REPAIR I STARTED TO HAVE ISSUE WITH MY DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND GEAR INDICATOR WOULD SCRAMBLED ON AND OFF. THREE MONTHS LATER I HAD MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. 8/19/2018 THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN AGAIN. ITS CURRENTLY AT THE SHOP AND THEY ARE SAYING ITS THE TRANSMISSION. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHIFT GEARS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT FIXED IN MY HEADLIGHT UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS WOULD BE A EASY AND INEXPENSIVE REPAIR TO BE SURPRISED WITH THE $1000 CHARGE THAT I AM EXPECTED TO PAY. HONDA HAS CREATED A HEADLIGHT DESIGN THAT FORCES THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY AN EXORBANT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON A PART THAT CAN BE PURCHASED FOR UNDER $20.00. I REFUSE TO BE TRAPPED IN A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T CONSIDER THEIR CUSTOMERS FUTURE REPAIRS WHEN DESIGNING A CAR. I CAME TO HONDA LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE VEHICLE AND $1000.00 ON ONE HEADLIGHT IS NO WHERE CONSIDERED AN AFFORDABLE REPAIR FOR AN ITEM THAT IS NOT A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CREATED A CLAIM AND IF THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE ADDED AS A RECALL I WILL BE ESCALATING THIS MATTER TO CORPORATE LEVEL OR HIGHER.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVERSIDE DAYTIME LED LIGHTS PARTIALLY BURNED OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR VEHICLE AND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AROUND JULY 20, 2018. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE JUST A BULB REPLACEMENT BUT JUST LEARNED THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE CHANGED

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD LX DRIVER'S SIDE LED RUNNING LIGHT FAILED AT 39,893 MILES. THE LED LIGHT SHOULD NOT OF FAILED THIS SOON AND HONDA SHOULD IDENTIFY THIS PART AS DEFECTIVE. TO REPLACE LED THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE LED IS A RUNNING LIGHT AND IS A CRITICAL TO VEHICLE OPERATION SAFETY. THE LED LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON WHEN THE LIGHT SETTING IS IN THE AUTO POSITION. THE LED LIGHT ALSO HELPS OTHER DRIVERS SEE THE VEHICLE IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. NHTSA SHOULD REPORT NUMBERS TO HONDA AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE ACTION TO FIX THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK INADVERTENTLY CLOSED WHILE OPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE AND HER BOYFRIEND WERE STRUCK BY THE TRUNK ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF FIFE (4301 20TH ST E, FIFE, WA 98424, (253) 922-2673), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, LED STRIP, GO OUT AFTER ABOUT 30,000 MILES. MY DRIVER SIDE LED STRIP WENT OUT AND HONDA REPLACED IT AT 35,000 MILES. AT 40,000 MILES, PASSENGER SIDE DRL LED STRIP WENT OUT. HONDA IS USING FAULTY PARTS AND IS CHARGING $800 TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY EVERY 30,000 MILES. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE LED STRIP LIGHTS ARE IMPORTANT WHEN DRIVING THROUGH SAFETY ZONES THAT REQUIRE HEADLIGHTS TO BE ON, OR AT NIGHT WHERE YOU NEED THE LIGHT TO SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY. LIGHTING ISN'T A WEAR AND TEAR PART AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT THAT OFTEN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD SPORT ONLY HAS 43,000 MILES AND ABOUT A WEEK AGO, THE LED LIGHT STRIP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BURNED OUT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER ( EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY) AND IT WOULD BE UPWARDS OF $500 OR MORE TO REPLACE SINCE THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. SEROIUSLY??? I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN DO YOU DRAW THE LINE AND CALL IT A DEFECT AND ISSUE A RECALL?? THIS FEATURE IS SUPPOSED TO BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY FEATURE BY HONDA. I FEEL THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A HONDA PROBLEM.

WHEELS
MY CAR MAKES A SCREECHING SOUNDS WHENEVER I TURN THE CAR TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR REPAIR. THE FIRST TIME THEY STATED IT WAS A PLATE BEHIND MY WHEEL, AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I TOOK THE CAR BACK THE SECOND WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS FROM THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD HONDA AND THE TIRE COMPANY WAS INVESTIGATING TO SEE WHO WAS AT FAULT. I AM STILL WAITING TO GET THIS ISSUE REPAIRED.
