WHEELS
I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 HONDA ACCORD TOURING FROM PAT PECK HONDA ON DEC. 1, 2015. THE CAR WHEN TEST DRIVEN VIBRATED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AS THE CAR HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED IN APRIL OF 2015, I ASSUMED THAT THE TIRES WERE A LITTLE FLAT SPOTTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE A LITTLE BIT "OUT OF BALANCE" AND THE DEALER BALANCED THE TIRES, TEST DROVE IT AND RETURNED IT TO ME AS ROADWORTHY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE DEALER REPRESENTED TO ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS TIRE BALANCE AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THEY EVEN CLAIMED THAT THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. I AM CONVINCED THAT THAT IS A LIE. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALER THIS MORNING AND HE EXAMINED THE TIRES AND SHOWED ME ON HIS BALANCE MACHINE THAT THE TIRES ARE OUT OF ROUND. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I DO NOT CONSIDER THESE TIRES AS ROADWORTHY AND THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVELY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES MANUFACTURED 16/2015

WITH 800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, IT STALLED AT 65 MPH. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM I DID NOT WANT THE CAR BACK UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. AFTER 10 DAYS, WE RELUCTANTLY TOOK THE CAR BACK. THE DEALER SAID THEY REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA, BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THEY DID. THEY SAID "DRIVER ERROR". IN LATE NOVEMBER, WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER SAYING OUR CAR MIGHT STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WE HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATED, THE 4 DAYS LATER THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THANKFULLY IN A PARKING LOT. IT TOOK 10 MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED. RIGHT AWAY, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, REMOVED OUR LICENSE PLATES, AND INFORMED THE SERVICE MANAGER WE WOULD NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN. HE SAIS IT WAS "DRIVER ERROR". THE NEXT WEEK WE TRADED THE CAR FOR A NEW FORD FUSION. IT COST US SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO DO THIS, BUT WE SAID IT WASN'T WORTH THE CHANCE THAT IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. THE DEALER AND MAYBE HONDA DID NOT STEP UP TO THE PLATE ON THIS MATTER. THEY PUT IT ALL ON ME, THE CONSUMER. THANKS FOR LISTENING.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING IN EXTREME DARK CONDITIONS (EG ON A POORLY LIT COUNTRY ROAD), WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON, A WELL DEMARCATED VEIL OF DARKNESS COVERS APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD (IE THE TOP HALF). THIS CURTAIN-LIKE VEIL OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VISION, TO THE POINT THAT HE/SHE MUST LOOK "UNDER" THE CURTAIN OF DARKNESS TO CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD. IF, HOWEVER, THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, VISION IS MUCH IMPROVED (ALTHOUGH ONE CAN FAINTLY SEE THE DARKENED TOP HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD). NOT ONLY IS THIS SITUATION UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT IT IS DANGEROUS.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS, OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE. THIS HESITATION WILL LAST 1-3 SECONDS AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED. THIS HESITATION CAN CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE AS EXPECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, AND THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE ITS PURCHASE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE HONDA DEALER, BUT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE IT SINCE IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. THEIR RESPONSE WAS TO STOP USING THE ECON BUTTON. I HAVE STOPPED USING THIS FEATURE, BUT THE ISSUE HAS PERSISTED, (ALTHOUGH IT HAS LESSENED IN OCCURRENCES). THE ISSUE CAN OCCUR 1-2 TIMES PER WEEK, WITH THE LAST OCCURRENCE ON 12/8/15. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE VEHICLE 15-036, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED, BUT LAST TIME AT THE DEALER, THEY COULDN'T FIND THE TSB, SO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE LIKELY HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
APPROX. 4 MONTHS INTO MY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, THE BACKUP CAMERA STAYED ON, WHILE THE GEAR WAS IN D (DRIVE). FORTUNATELY IT WAS A SHORT DRIVE BUT IT DID CONCERN ME A LITTLE BIT. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN 2 MONTHS LATER. PICTURES FROM BOTH INCIDENTS ARE ATTACHED. ON THE 2ND INSTANCE THE AUDIO SYSTEM SAID "TURNED OFF" WHILE MUSIC WAS PLAYED LOUD AND CLEAR. I CHANGED GEARS A FEW TIMES WHILE ACTUALLY IN THE PARKING SPOT TO SEE IF IT RESETS, BUT NO LUCK. INCIDENT HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER YET. WAS THE COMPUTER ON THE CAR THINKING THAT I WAS REVERSING THE CAR WHILE I WAS ACTUALLY GOING FORWARD? ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE INTEGRATION OF TRANSMISSION TO ELECTRONICS? WHAT IF THE AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY OR EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS LIKE FORWARD COLLISION OR LANE DEPARTURE ALERTS DO NOT WORK? I AM CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT VERY CONCERNED FOR FAMILY AND MY OWN SAFETY.

I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR ON JULY 2015. MY CAR HAS 5,350 MILES. I NOTICE WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE IT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY TO ADJUST TO THE SPEED ALMOST LIKE A PUSH BACK/STALL. THERE IS ALSO RATTLING WHEN I DRIVE THAT I CAN'T ATTRIBUTE TO ANY PERSONAL ITEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ENTERED FAIL SAFE MODE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL AND THE VEHICLE TO ENTER BATTERY MODE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER UPDATED THE SOFTWARE PATCH; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
INTERMITTENTLY, BUT ALWAYS UPON ACCELERATION (COULD BE PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MERGING/SPEEDING UP TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY OR PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, OR STARTING TO MOVE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN) THE CAR WILL FALL FLAT WITH NO POWER. IT DOESN'T STALL, JUST DOESN'T RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. MOST TIMES, HAPPENS IN SECOND GEAR. RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN PRESSING IT AGAIN MOST TIMES RESOLVES THE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES, IT TAKES A FEW TRIES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND I HAVE HAD MANY MOTORISTS SWERVE AROUND ME OR BLOW THE HORN AT ME BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE CAR MOVING FAST ENOUGH. I JUST SPENT $30,000 ON THIS NEW CAR, AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY'RE SENDING ME ON MY WAY WITH A VEHICLE THAT'S A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS DURING THE DAY AND WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT. POWER SYSTEM PROBLEM DISPLAY COMES ON AND ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT AS WELL. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON HELPS BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR ANOTHER 24 HRS OR SO BEFORE TURNING OFF. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT LOSE GAS ENGINE POWER AND OPERATES ELECTRIC ONLY. I WAS GOING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY, AND WHEN I TRY TO STEP ON THE GAS PEDDEL, I CAN MAINTAIN THAT SPEED AS LONG AS THE BATTERY HAD ENOUGH POWER BUT THE GAS ENGINE WILL NOT KICK ON. IT WAS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE LEFT LANE AND WAS QUICKLY TRYING TO MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT ON A FREEWAY WITHOUT SHOULDERS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT NEAREST EXIT, HALF A MILE AWAY. HAD THE ERROR MSG APPEAR 4 TIMES IN 2 WEEKS. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME. MY FIRST VISIT, THEY DIDNT SEE ANYTHING WRONG, NO DTC CODES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SECOND VISIT, I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE I SAW ON THIS SITE. THEY APPLIED PATCH TSB 15-057 HV CELL VOLTAGE SENSOR (CVS) SOFTWARE UPDATE, TOOK THE CAR HOME, WHEN TO WORK LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, AND POWER SYSTEM PROBLEM MESSAGE CAME ON AGAIN. THIRD VISIT, NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS STAYED ON ONCE AGAIN, TOLD THEM ABOUT HOW IT WAS MY 3RD VISIT IN 2 WEEKS. TECH DROVE THE CAR FOR 10 MILES, POWER SYSTEM PROBLEM POPS UP. FOUND DTCS CODES FINALLY. CODE P108 - GENERATOR MOTOR INVERTERS, AND CODE 0562 - GENERATOR MOTOR CONTROL MODULE SYSTEM LOW VOLTAGE. TECH PERFORMED TROUBLESHOOTING FOR P108C AND REAPPLIED PATCH, I GUESS IT DIDNT GO THRU THE FIRST TIME? DROVE IT FOR ANOTHER 10 MILES AND FOUND NO ERRORS THIS TIME. IT HAS BEEN 5 DAYS SINCE MY LAST VISIT AND I HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE SINCE. ALSO TO NOTE, IT HAS NOT BEEN AS HOT HERE IN THE NORTHEAST THE LAST FEW DAYS. HIGHS IN THE 70S COMPARE TO 80S-90S WHEN I BEGAN HAVING THIS ISSUE.

STEERING
WHILE TURNING LEFT AFTER THE STOP LIGHT DISPLAYED GREEN, THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I ENDED UP HITTING THE CURB ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. ONLY THEN WAS I ABLE TO ROTATE THE STEERING WHEEL. FORTUNATELY IT WAS A MID-DAY AND THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND. TWO DAYS LATER, AGAIN WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM WORK WHICH IS ABOUT A MILE AWAY, AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED WHEN DEPARTING FROM THE INTERSECTION. THIS TIME I WAS GOING STRAIGHT, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED AND WAS VERY HARD TO MOVE. I HAD TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN TO ENTER THE APARTMENT COMPLEX, WHEN WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY WAS ABLE TO MAKE A WIDE SWERVE AND PARK IN THE LOT. I COULD SEE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) INDICATOR TURNED ON IN THE DASHBOARD. AGAIN TO RELEASE THE LOCK, I HAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO NEARBY HONDA DEALER. THE SERVICE ENGINEER SAID THAT HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM!!! WHAT A SHAME!!! HIS TOTAL LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A PROBLEM IS MORE WORRISOME THAN THE ACTUAL DEFECT ITSELF. I TOLD HIM THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SUCH AN ISSUE IN ONLINE. NOT SURE IF THE DEALER CAN CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA HAS TO TAKE SERIOUS ACTION ON. MY TRUST ON HONDA'S SAFETY IS LOST NOW!

THE TIRES ARE ALL PERMANENTLY DAMAGED DUE TO IMPROPER TIRE WEAR. EXTREMELY LOUD ROAD NOISE REDUCED HANDLING SAFTEY AND STOPPING PROPERTIES. THE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR IS BEING CAUSED BY A MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. ONE THAT HONDA HAS FAILED TO OWN UP TO. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW THE PEOPLE FROM THE TIRE SHOP SAID THAT MANY NEW HONDAS COME IN THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM
