FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I am getting warnings of brake system problems including electric parking brake problem says it’s not available, brake hold system problem,brake performance reduced. Adaptive cruise control system problem, collision mitigation problem, and road departure mitigation problem. The car has slowed down on me while on the highway and side streets even when I am trying to accelerate and if I push the pedal all the way down it feels like it is fighting to stop, I’m afraid I am going to get hit from behind due to this. I just brought the car into the dealer for the recalls and mentioned these issues I initially thought the errors codes were maybe due to how cold it’s been because the entire screen also shut off on me then restarted its self minutes later. This car only has 30,000 miles on it.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
While driving my FCW lights came and said failure. I took my car to an independent service center and they confirmed that many Hondas with the same year have had this same problem. Told me that he wouldn't even be able to repair because the part needed to fix the light from coming on was unavailable all across the world. So many Hondas have had this same issue and needed to repair this issue that it's unavailable. I had the car less than one year after I bought it used with less than 95,000 miles. I've owned 5 other Honda accords that would go forever and have 200,000+ miles without any issues. I've already had to place my alternator 5 times and starter as well.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While driving my vehicle at approximately 25 miles per hour on a cloudy day with temperatures around 55 degrees, I heard a loud bang. Apparently my sunroof exploded without any debris around. As you can imagine, this shocked me and caused a brief panic as to what had just happened. I hope that this would be something that can be avoided in the future for all drivers of Honda so as to not cause a driver to swerve off of the road. Especially a Vet like me.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
A strange thing occurred while I was dropping my grandchildren to school on 3/30/22 at 8:45 AM. After dropping off the kids, as I started the car in the car drop off lane, there was no acceleration despite me hitting the accelerator, the car would not accelerate, and cars exiting the school parking lot backed up behind my car. Suddenly, the car accelerated in an uncontrolled manner on its own, brakes did not work, and all warning lights on the side of the dashboard came on. I steered the car towards an empty area and was ready to crash it into an obstacle to bring it to a stop. I tried to put the car in park but despite putting it in park, the car continued its acceleration forward. I also tried to turn off the car by hitting the start/stop button but the car would not turn off. The car accelerated uncontrollably for at least 0.3 miles. After this uncontrolled and automatic acceleration, the car came to a stop. I had the car towed to the Honda dealership. Honda dealership advisor told me that there was no recall on this model. However, a quick search on car message boards shows that this phenomenon of sudden and uncontrolled acceleration has been reported on 2014, and 2015 and 2016 Honda Accord model year cars as well. Fortunately, no children or their parents in the school were injured this time. I hope you will direct the Honda dealership to identify and fix the problem. I am afraid to drive the car without understanding the reason for this frightening experience. Dealership address is 675 State Avenue Emmaus PA 18049 Phone number 610-965-1365 Associate who is helping me is Michael Paxos

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The rear glass shattered with temperature change and defrost use?. The car was garage kept all winter until the weekend of the issue. It was kept outside overnight on Friday and temperatures were in the 20s. I used my rear defroster for the very first time on Saturday morning and returned home Saturday. On Sunday morning, I closed the door of the car and the rear glass shattered and collapsed. It seems like they may have a batch of badly tempered glass but refuse to acknowledge it. They required me to have the car towed to the dealership. This damages any investigation value and they said it looked like a hammer smashed it in but it didn’t look like that when it was at my home. I had police come and look at it and they did not find any evidence of vandalism. The location of the damage is VERY centered and would be hard to reach and not likely the spot for someone just trying to smash the window.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was going down the highway and my vehicle came to an abrupt stop. It was in the middle of traffic. I was in NO danger prior to this happening. I almost got rear ended from the truck that was behind me as a result of this, as I had no control over this sudden braking. The truck behind me had to swerve over or it would have hit me. I’ve only had the car for 3 weeks so far. I hope this doesn’t happen again. I’ve disabled all safety features to hopefully prevent it from happening again. The dealer from which I bought my 2018 Accord is aware of the incident. I hope the issue gets resolved soon, for all of us.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
When I make a turn left or right even the slightest turn on the road and no matter the speed the Traction Control lights up And immediately at the same time the breaks are applied automatically by the car itself, making my car slow down thus putting me in danger of being hit by the car(s) behind me. Then, all the warning lights start to appear on the dashboard. And they stay on for about 30 - 40 mins then they disappear but themselves. Stopping the car and turning it back on doesn't make them disappear. I've taken the car to the deanship and they said it was the alignment of the tires and that they fixed it but as soon as I drove off the dealership it happened again. I happens every single time I drive. I'm afraid to take the freeway because the self breaking system is so abrupt that it's a miracle that I've not been hit by another yet. I've had this issue since at least 25th of January of this year 2022. For a car to apply breaks by itself because I'm making a slight turn is dangerous and it's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured or worse. I was scared today because I was going 27miles an hour on a regular street when the car applied breaks by itself and the car behind me honked at me. But I never even touched the break paddle. Please take this issue seriously, it's very dangerous to drive like this.

SERVICE BRAKES
On March 22, 2022, while at a stop light the brake pedal started going towards floor. As I was driving, the brake light system came on and went off a couple of times. I called the dealership and the car was taken in on Saturday, March 26th, 2022. When they moved the car, they told me the brakes felt squishy. On Tuesday, March 29th, 2022, I received a call from dealership. I was told the car didn't throw any codes and Honda would not let them fix the brake booster. I was then told, my Accord had a test booster put on it by Honda. I was never notified of this before purchasing car. Had I been told, I would not have bought car. I was told this is normal for the brake system to do, per Honda of North America. If this is normal, how come it started 2 weeks ago and not 3 years ago?? There is something wrong with the brakes on this car and I would like the booster to be replaced. I've been in contact with Stirling Honda in Longview WA who tried to get Honda to approve booster replacement. I've also been in contact with Honda of Burlington, WA as they called to see if I was going to return car or buy it(I'm leasing). Honda of Burlington has been less than helpful. Been told, Honda will not replace and there's nothing wrong with the car. Brake pedal should not be going to floor. When I start car, brake pedal will go to approximately 1" from floor. I've also had issues with car braking on Freeway...there isn't a car in front of me. I have a picture of brake pedal going to floor while my car is parked in my driveway. It is on my cell phone and am not able to attach to this complaint. Can email if needed.

AIR BAGS
While exiting a grocery store parking lot the honda accord 2006 air bags malfunctioned and deployed. The honda accord 2006 'did not' strike a vehicle, a vehicle 'did not' strike the honda accord 2006, the honda accord 2006 'did not' strike any object in the parking lot, no object in the parking lot caused any friction with the honda accord 2006 to make the air bags deploy. After reviewing the damages which occurred from the deployment of the air bags; the driver's air bag is hanging out, the passenger's air bag is hanging out, the dome lights have been knocked down from the ceiling, the wind shield has 4 cracks in it. At this time myself and the passenger are noticing a ringing in our ears. I myself have a tiny split in my lower lip. When the incident took place an individual came to the honda accord 2006 to ask if things were ok. The individual states, "I heard a pop!! So I came to check things out." Today is 4/3/2022, the incident took place around 3pm. With today being sunday honda is closed. No call was able to be made to ask questions or file a report.

WHEELS
Tire Pressure Monitoring System repeatedly indicates low tire pressure. Issue has existed since automobile purchase. Dealer has repeatedly reset the system only to have the TPMS system repeat the warning (four days after most recent reset). Dealer has been unable to resolve the repeated warnings. I feel this system is not measuring the intended tire pressure values properly as the tires have not been underinflated when the warnings activate. The safety system is not operating properly.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Twice in the past month the steering has frozen on my 2017 Honda Accord hybrid, making it nearly impossible to turn the wheel manually. Fortunately on both occasions we were driving at low speeds on city streets and could pull over or drive slowly to a destination. There were no warnings that the steering was about to freeze, but both times the automatic lane departure light came on. In the second instance I was driving on a narrow street and I was not outside of my narrow lane or I would have hit the curb or oncoming cars. The car was checked once by a highly regarded mechanic who could find nothing wrong with the steering or electronic system. This was one day after the first incident and the steering worked normally on the short ride to the mechanic. The car has now been at the dealer's service center. I am concerned that the car is not safe to drive.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
This vehicle has made sudden complete stops when there is no object or vehicle in front of it. This has occurred while being on a two lane road so no lane changing needed. It has made such a abrupt stop it has tightened the seat belts and sent a dog that was on the seat to the floor. I do alot of traveling on the highway and this could be very dangerous and cause a bad collision. Took to the dealer and was told nothing is perfect. I am very concerned of when it could happen.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The problem is with the ignition starter, I had it replaced in January 2022 because sometimes the car did not start when pressing the ignition starter there was a grinding noise. All other functions worked, headlights, radio, signals etc. but the car did not start. If the battery was jumped then the car started so there is power going to the car. After the replacement I had no issues until Sunday 3/27/2022 when I went to start my vehicle and got the grinding noise again. The cost was $550.00 to put in a new starter. Now this issue is all over Honda's website with complaints, so why hasn't anything been done about it? The wires need to have protection on them because of corrosion caused by winter conditions in the north where there is salt used on the highways. I feel a recall should be done on these models.
