UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My AC compressor is failing, despite the fact that the car is less than 7 years old (purchased Nov 2015) and was driven sparingly for two pandemic years. Other Hondas and several other 2015 car models are known to have AC compressor recalls, of which I think this is related. These units should not have to be replaced so early. Also, my dealer charged $400 just to identify the issue and wanted more than $1700 to fix it despite the part being available for less than $500. That’s price gouging on top of selling defective vehicles.

STEERING
While driving power steering goes out and car pulls to the side causing vehicle to go into other lane! Shutting off car and restarting temporarily fixes issue. Time between incidents ranges from 2 weeks to a month. First incident was 6 weeks ago and it has happened several times since (tonight being the third).

STRUCTURE:BODY
I noticed today that paint was peeling from the upper groove between the roof and back window panel of the car. I’m very concerned that overtime this will lead to corrosion that may possibly affect the integrity and safety of the back window leading to potential injury. Per my research, a “Service Bulletin” was realeased by Honda on Aug 29, 2019 extending the warranty for 2014-2015 Honda Accords to resolve this same issue BUT, unfortunately it was limited to Fanthom Blue Pearls or Obsidian Blue Pearl. In addition, this is not an isolated case as many Honda owners have voiced the same complaint in forums and different websites.

SUSPENSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 has a few issues: 1. Front/rear struts, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links. This has caused my car to fail safety tests for the last 5 years. I have received an itemized estimate for these issues from a mechanic. 2. Electrical. The front instrument panel is not working properly. I can not touch any buttons on the dash or the lights on the panel will go off completely. Both of these are a huge safety issue and it is not safe to drive! No lights or warning of any kind regarding these issues!

SERVICE BRAKES
There seems to be a problem with the ABS control Module. Apparently, the part can fail and cause the ABS warning light to go on. Also. many of the other associated warning lights go on like traction control, steering, and the tire pressure light. It seems as if the part fails often on this year vehicle. The dealer says they can't replace the part because they can't get the part. For the complete safety of the vehicle I would like Honda to replace the part. I think Honda should create a recall for this part failure for safety reasons. My understanding is that this part fails often in this vehicle.

ENGINE
I brought my vehicle into the dealer for a recall software problem and to fix an oil leak coming from the valve cover. They replace the valve cover gasket and performed the software recall. As of now it still shows that my vehicle still needs the software recall. One week later after the oil leak repair, a massive oil leak formed at the valve cover causing oil to cover my engine bay and exhaust causing a burning smell and possible fire risk. Every weekend we drive out of state to tournaments and I was unaware of the leak. I brought it back to the dealer and they said it was residual oil from the previous repair. I was skeptical but believed them. One week later the same massive oil leak and problem occurred in my engine bay and driveway. Having no confidence in the dealer and being an ASE certified master mechanic, I decided to fix the problem myself by replacing the plastic valve cover assembly. I remove the old valve cover and found it to be extremely warped not providing a proper seal. The first time I brought my car into the dealer the service advisor said this is the second one this week that we’ve seen. I have a hard time believing that my vehicle is the only problem with this. I am extremely dissatisfied with the service from the dealership and the lack of concern that my life and my sons life was put in danger with a fire risk. I am currently seeking reimbursement for the part that I paid out-of-pocket. About US$150.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Door lock actuator of 1 door out of 4 is gets stuck between open and close positions (brainfart) mode and won't respond to center lock/unlock. It won't unlock with the fob from outside or respond to door unlock button from inside. If I am inside the car, I have to brush my hand against the physical lock latch simultaneously with pressing the unlock switch. I am afraid in case of an accident, the door may not open as normal. Apparently this is a common problem as I have searched many HONDA online forums.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On 2 incidents, I've had the collision mitigation braking system (CMBS) issue driver warnings/alerts and automatically hit the brakes without warning when there are no obstacles in front of the vehicle and it has not deviated from its lane. Both incidents occurred during highway speeds. 1 incident was in a construction area where the car entered a steep decline and then rise as the construction was part of lane resurfacing. The 2nd incident was while driving over an overpass (not sure, but possibly a steep incline).

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
On 6/6/22 the car had multiple Alarms came on the dashboard (break sys prob,emission prob,road dept mit,collision mit,break sys prot,aac sys prob, hill start asst prob,break performance prob). I called Honda Valley Stream informing them of the above. Got appt 6/8 I was told I would need to leave the car on 6/8 appt. On 6/8 approx 4pm rec a call from them to come get the car. Alarms only needed to be reset and rear camera recall was done. Next day all the alarms plus a few other returned. I went back and forth with Manger. I left the car Sat 6/11.Told it was injection fluid that's covered under warranty. Then later the manager called that it was CO2 built up and $413 to clean and take care of the problem. I paid for it and picked up the car. 6/15 during the day I noticed a problem with the steering and that car kept moving into the other lane , this got worst if I had to use the break. Later that night an alarm for Supplemental Restraint System. Ive notified Honda of Valley Stream of this new issue. Awaiting a resolution.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
When driving on the freeway (>50mph) with no obstacles visible in front of me, the Forward Collision System will occasionally cause the HUD to rapidly flash and warn me to “BRAKE”. It will display this message for a couple of seconds before disappearing. I have noticed that this has a higher chance of occurring when I am driving towards the sun.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Three times now I have been driving with no obstructions in front of me and the Automatic Emergency Braking System has flashed "BRAKE" on the dash and then slammed the brakes on. One of the times, I was on the freeway going approximately 60 mph. Everything on the seat next to me went flying and my seatbelt locked, hurting me (I did not see a doctor as it was not necessary). There were no cars or obstructions in front of me. This could have caused a bad accident had someone been behind me at the time. The other two times, people were able to brake in time so as to not cause an accident. This was terrifying. I took it to our local Honda dealership and they simply said everything looks fine and maybe the sensor was dirty. My car was clean at the time on the freeway, and I don't recall if it was the other two times. I did not have my insurance or police look over the car as there was no accident and no need to contact them. But the actual dealership DID look over the car. It all happened suddenly with no warning and no need. The only "warning lamp" was it flashing "BRAKE" on the dash immediately before it slammed on the brakes each time.
