VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW WAS DISTORTED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VISION WAS OBSCURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR WINDOW WAS DISTORTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE HONDA INFORMED THE DEALER NOT TO REPLACE THE WINDOW BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE NEW EQUIPMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70. UPDATED 01/06/17*LJ UPDATED 7/13/18*JB

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE ACCORD 2016 MODEL HAS A VERY BAD DISTORTION IN THE BACK WINDSHIELD - WHERE ONE HEADLIGHT/LIGHT WILL BE REFLECTED/SHOWN AS MULTIPLE. IT IS WORSE AT NIGHT, AND IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH. THE PICTURES REFLECT (TO A MINIMUM) HOW IT APPEARS. IT IS A HUGE DISTRACTION BECAUSE THERE ARE LIGHTS EVERYWHERE WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR REARVIEW MIRROR, AND ALSO IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT IS NOT ACCURATE AS TO WHERE THE EXACT LIGHT IS COMING FROM. IT SEEMS TO BE FROM THE DEFROSTER LINES, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED BEFORE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN DRIVING MY DAUGHTER'S CAR, I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND I HIT THE PUSH BUTTON STOP TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. AS I BEGAN TO EXIT THE CAR, IT STARTED TO ROLL. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO REPOSTION MY SELF TO PLACE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY. I REALIZE THAT I NEED TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. HOWEVER, THIS PUSH BUTTON TECHNOLOGY PRESENTS A SIGIFICANT HAZARD THAT SHOULD HAVE A BETTER SAFETY FEATURE. HOW ABOUT REQUIRING THAT THE EMERGENCY BREAK BE AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR? A FEATURE LIKE THIS COULD PREVENT NEEDLESS INJURIES AND DAMAGE. ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS PUSH BUTTON START/STOP TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT ADEQUATE SAFETY FEATUTES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CONSUMERS SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY WARNED!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
REAR VIEW CAMERA IS TOTALLY USELESS IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE IS A MIX OF BRIGHT SUNLIGHT AND SHADE CONDITIONS. THE DYNAMIC RANGE OF THE CAMERA ISN'T LARGE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT IS BEHIND YOU. YOU GET A BLOWN OUT PICTURE WITH NO DETAIL IN THE SUNLIT AREAS AND BLACKS IN THE SHADE AREAS. I'VE HAD OTHER CARS WITH BACKUP CAMERA SYSTEMS AND THIS IS THE WORST EXCUSE FOR ONE I'VE EVER SEEN.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH DISTORTED GLASS BEING USED IN THE REAR WINDOWS OF 2016 HONDA ACCORDS. LOOKING THROUGH THE REAR WINDOW OF MY ACCORD SPORT, VEHICLES AND ESPECIALLY LANE MARKINGS APPEAR OUT OF FOCUS AND WAVY. THE PROBLEM IS EVEN WORSE IN RAINY CONDITIONS. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE PROXIMITY OF VEHICLES BEHIND ME, ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. HONDA'S DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WITHOUT EVEN ASKING TO SEE MY CAR. HE CALLED IT "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE ACCORDS AND CLAIMED THEY ALL HAVE VARYING LEVELS OF DISTORTION. HOWEVER, HONDA REFUSED TO OFFER A REPLACEMENT WINDOW.

STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, SUSPENSION
CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM DEALERSHIP IN FORT SMITH, AR. UPON INSPECTION 10 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. (MILES: 502) VEHICLE UNDERCARRIAGE AND SUSPENSION HAD SIGNIFICANT RUST AND OXIDIZATION DAMAGE. IN THIS REGION OF THE UNITED STATES- RUST IS VERY UNCOMMON IF NOT EVER PRESENT, MUCH LESS, ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO WORK WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIM TO HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL EFFORTS AND HAVE DONE ALL "REPAIRS" THEY INTEND TO DO. THE WORK DONE WAS ONLY SURFACE REMOVAL AND SINCE THEN, A REAR OIL LEAK HAS DEVELOPED AND THE BACK SEAT DOOR PANELS HAVE SEPARATED FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROCESS, JUNE 3, 2016. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNBELIEVABLE THAT A BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAS THIS EXTENT OF RUST DAMAGE. I AM A MECHANIC WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE ON A VEHICLE, LET ALONE A NEW PURCHASE. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WOULD EVEN BE AN ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BEFORE PURCHASE. BECAUSE OF IT BEING A NEW VEHICLE, WHO WOULD HAVE EXPECTED THIS PROBLEM FROM A TRUSTED VEHICLE BRAND SUCH AS HONDA?! I HAVE MADE SURE TO DOCUMENT THIS THOROUGHLY AND HAVE MORE THAN 70 PHOTOS FOR YOUR REVIEW. PLEASE CONTACT ME ANYTIME FOR THOSE OR ANY ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION YOU MIGHT NEED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE REAR WINDOW IS DISTORTED WHICH PREVENTS A CLEAR AND ACCURATE VIEW OF ALL OBJECTS BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THIS DISTORTION AFFECTS THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW AND IT CAUSES THE OBJECTS VIEWED THROUGH THE WINDOW TO BE WAVY AND DISTORTED. ITS EFFECTS ARE MAGNIFIED IN WET WEATHER AND AT NIGHT. THE DISTORTION PREVENTS THE OPERATOR FROM ACCURATELY JUDGING THE SIZE, SPEED AND DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THE DISTORTION OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND STATIONARY.
