ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
A RECALL WAS ISSUED REGARDING THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENSOR AND BATTERY IS OUT AT 46K MILES. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENSOR DIDN'T TAKE OUT THE BATTERY ALSO SINCE IS IT MANAGING THE BATTERY? ALSO, HALF OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT DECIDE TO GO OUT TOO. IF YOU WEB SEARCH THESE ISSUES, THESE ARE COMMON ISSUE FOR THE HONDA ACCORD. I GUESS HONDA IS ONLY KNOWN TO BE RELIABLE UNTIL THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS PARKING MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD IN A SHOPPING CENTER. AS I WAS SLOWLY INCHING FORWARD TO PARK, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN (WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR) AND WENT FORWARD SO FAST IT WENT OVER A RETAINING WALL THAT SEPARATED US FROM AN ADJOINING SHOPPING CENTER AND DROPPED ABOUT 4-5 FT DOWN INTO THAT ADJOINING PARKING LOT. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND CAUSED US INJURY. THE CAR IS MOST LIKELY TOTALED AT THIS POINT (WAITING TO FIND OUT FROM MY ADJUSTOR). THE ACCELERATION WAS SUDDEN AND EXTREME. I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO HIT THE BRAKES. IT WAS A MATTER OF A SPLIT SECOND BEFORE WE WERE THROWN INTO THE OTHER PARKING LOT. (ATTACHING A PICTURE SO THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT MAKES SENSE) NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE CAR RIGHT NOW SO I AM GUESSING MY MILEAGE BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT AN OPTION TO INDICATE "UNKNOWN" ON THE FORM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SECOND TIME ON THE LAST FOUR DAYS THAT MY CAR WILL NOT START. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AT EH HONDA AUTONATION IN COSTA MESA CA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. I WAS WORKING IN LOS ANGELES FOUR DAYS LATER AND ONCE AGAIN THE CAR WOULDN'T START. THIS IS AFTER DRIVING A FEW SHORT DISTANCES AND THEN THE CAR JUST WONT TURN OVER. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR JUMPED TWICE IN THE LAST FOUR DAYS. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE OF WHERE I WORK AND I CANNOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO NOT HAVING THE CONFIDENCE THAT THE CAR WILL START, ESPECIALLY IF SHE HAS THE KIDS WITH HER. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN AGAIN ON MONDAY AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE PARTS DEALING WITH THE BATTERY THAT CAN NOT ONLY CAUSE STARTING ISSUES, BUT SHORTS IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT PROBLEMS OCCUR, BUT THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN FOUR DAYS I STARTING TO WONDER IF HONDA IS NOW SELLING VEHICLES OFF THEIR NAME AND NOT THEIR QUALITY. NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP ON THEM JUST YET, BUT IT WILL DEPEND ON WHAT THEY DO TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ON A CLEAR DAY, FULL VISIBILITY, THERE WAS A CAR SEVERAL CAR LENGTHS AHEAD OF US TURNING RIGHT. IT CLEARED THE WAY WITHOUT US NEEDING TO BREAK. WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH AT AROUND 2PM. OUR VEHICLE THOUGHT THERE WAS STILL A HAZARD IN THE ROAD. WE HAVE A SENSING PACKAGE IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED OUR CAR TO COME TO A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP, ENGAGING THE SEAT BELTS AS WELL. WE HAVE FULL VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE INCIDENT FROM A THIRD PARTY DASH CAM. WE WERE ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THINKING THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT, IT WAS RETURNED, SAYING THAT THE CAR WORKED AS INTENDED. HAVING BEEN IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME, AND I DISAGREE, AND AM NOW EXTREMELY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. WHILE I HAVE NO PICTURES, I HAVE FULL VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT, AND WILL GLADLY PROVIDE IT UPON REQUEST.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
#1 ISSUE ON SEP 23 2017 WE WERE GOING DOWN AN INCLINE, IN THE CITY, APPLYING THE BRAKES AND GOING ABOUT 25MPH WHEN THE ENGINE ACCELERATED. WE WERE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. HE APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. AFTER THE INITIAL SHOCK MY HUSBAND THOUGHT TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND WE WERE ABLE TO STOP. WE TOOK OUR CAR INTO OUR HONDA DEALER. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY STATED THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. HONDA HAD OUR CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND DROVE 54MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. WE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND GOT A CASE NUMBER. THEY CALLED US TO TELL US THEY HAD CONTACTED OUR HONDA DEALER AND THEY AGREED NOTHING WAS FOUND SO OUR CAR DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. #2 ISSUE THE FIRST WEEK AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR HONDA IN JANUARY 2016 THE COMPASS WENT OUT. HONDA SERVICE PUT IN A NEW SENDING UNIT. IN SEP 2017 THE COMPASS AND FUEL MPG READOUT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLANK. THIS HAPPENED ALONG WITH THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM THAT WE STATED ABOVE.. WE TOOK IT INTO FOR REPAIR AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY WOULD NOT DO ANY REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR. THEN, ON OCT 24TH THE COMPASS AND THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. THE RADIO CAME BACK ON WITHIN A MINUTE, BUT THE COMPASS DID NOT WORK ACCURATELY AGAIN FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WE HAVE SEND AN EMAIL TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND ARE WAITING FOR A REPLY. OUR CAR HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT..

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2016 HONDA ACCORD SPORT THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. A FRIEND HAD NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE'S LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WAS ONLY HALF-LIT. I TOOK IT TO MY HONDA DEALER AND IT WAS IMMEDIATELY NOTICEABLE THAT THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND IMMEDIATELY SAID IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS CLOCKED 42,200 MILES AND WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING ON MY CAR I NOTICED TWO OTHER HONDA ACCORD WITH THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM; DRIVER-SIDE'S LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WAS ONLY HALF-LIT. THEY HAVE TO ORDER AN ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT; NOT JUST THE LED STRIP PORTION AND IT WILL COST OVER $500. THIS IS A MATTER OF A FAULTY AND CHEAP LED LIGHTING SYSTEM AND IS A HAZARD FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT.

LED DAYTIME LIGHTS /REPLACED DRIVER SIDE AT 17,000 MILES NOW PASSENGER SIDE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 27,000 MILES THIS ITEM COST ALONE IS $1300 EACH MAKING IT $2600 TO REPLACE THIS AMOUNT DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. I BELIEVE HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THE LED LIGHTS AND REPLACE... THIS WILL NOT BE FAIR TO OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ONCE THEY REACH 36,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY IS NOW VOID.....
