HONDA QUALITY PROBLEMS. WE BOUGHT A 2016 HONDA ACCORD IN JANUARY. AFTER FEW MONTHS THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION ALL OF A SUDDEN AND COMES TO A LOW SPEED (0-5 MPH) WITHIN SECONDS. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES. FIRST TIME - THE DEALER SAID THAT HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR SECOND TIME - AS PER HONDA TECH, THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHIP IN THE COMPUTER IS THE PROBLEM. SO THEY SAID THAT THE SOFTWARE IN THE COMPUTER NEEDED UPGRADE (STRANGE.. IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR. AND WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ONLY ONE CAR. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE WITH OTHER CARS PRODUCED AT THE SAME TIME). THIRD TIME - AS PER HONDA TECH, THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATION KIT AS THEY THOUGHT THAT IS THE PROBLEM. FOURTH TIME - NOW THEY THINK THE WIRING IS THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THAT. EVERY TIME, I DROVE THAT CAR TRUSTING THEM, I RISKED MY LIFE. I AVOIDED ACCIDENT 8 TIMES ON FREEWAY FROM BEING REAR ENDED. I DROVE INTO THE CENTRAL DITCH ON THE FREEWAY AND INJURED MY SHOULDER. I AM ON MEDICATION FOR THE PAST 1+ MONTH. I AM WORRIED THAT I DRIVE THIS CAR AND AM GOING TO DIE.

THE REAR WINDOW IS DISTORTED WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH IT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S SUNNY OR RAINING OUT IT LOOKS ALL WAVY. IT ALSO DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHETHER THE WINDOW IS TINTED OR NOT. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND YOU CANNOT SEE OTHER VEHICLES CLEARLY WHILE LOOKING THROUGH YOUR REARVIEW MIRROR. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS SO I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING HUNDRED NEEDS TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT OCCURS IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

TMPS NOTIFIED ME THAT MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. I HAD TIRE PLUGGED AND I THOUGHT REPAIRED. THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO RESET THE TMPS SYSTEM . ONE MUST DRIVE AT SPEEDS 30 TO 60 MPH AT LEAST 30 MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM TO RECALIBRATE . I ONLY WAS DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES FOR NOT I'M LONG AMOUNT OF TIME SO I WAS UNAWARE THAT THERE ACTUALLY STILL WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY TIRE AND WAS DRIVING AROUND WITH EXTREMELY LOW TIRE PRESSURE . IF I HAD A MANUAL RESET BUTTON I WOULD BE AWARE RIGHT AWAY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ANY MANUAL RESET BUTTON SHOULD BE PUT ON THE VEHICLE.

THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IN MY CAR MALFUNCTIONS IN RAIN/SLEET CONDITIONS DURING WINTER MONTHS. A LAYER OF ICE FORMS OVER THE SENSORS, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATES OR MAINTAINS VELOCITY WITHOUT NOTICING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. IT TAKES A FEW MORE MILES AND MINUTES TILL THE ACC IS DISABLED WARNING POPS UP.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
LATELY, I DECIDED NOT TO DRIVE MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD ON THE HIGHWAY FOR SAFETY PRECAUTION UNTIL THE HONDA DEALERSHIP DOES SOMETHING ABOUT MY CAR. I DON'T HAVE FULL CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL ABOUT 40 MPH. I TOOK BACK FOUR TIMES, THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC SAW NOTHING WRONG. I KNOW IT IS STEERING ISSUE. ONE WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR A WHILE TO ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM THAT AM HAVING WITH IT. I WILL TAKE IT BACK AFTER THE HOLIDAY FOR A REPLACEMENT. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER I WILL NOT KEEP ON DRIVING A CAR WHICH REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND OTHERS. THE PROBLEM IS FELT ON BOTH, THE CITY STREET AND THE HIGHWAY.

2016 HONDA ACCORD EX - 100 MILES DRIVEN. THE PARTITION/SPLIT IN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR DISTORTS THE VIEW WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE APPROACHING VEHICLES. THE MIRROR IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP WITH A REGULAR MIRROR. NOT SURE HOW HONDA'S ENGINEERS COULD DEVELOP SUCH A DANGEROUS MIRROR.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD 2 INCIDENTS OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON MAY 5, 2016 WITH MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD EX. I DROVE MY CAR IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX 10:30 PM MAY 5, 2016 TO PAY RENT,DROVE CAR HOME A FEW BLOCKS. I PUT CAR IN POSITION TO BACK INTO PARKING SPACE. CAR IN REVERSE. CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST, MY CAR WENT FLYING OVER THE CURB, GRASS, SIDEWALK. PUT CAR INTO DRIVE FROM REVERSE TO STOP CAR - IT ACCELERATED AGAIN! CAR SHOT STRAIGHT INTO COURT. I PUT BOTH FEET ON BRAKE PEDAL - MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON (GIRL WALKING DOG WITNESSED THIS). CAR WAS FLYING - I HAD NOWHERE TO GO - 3 APT BUILDINGS ON LEFT - 20 CARS PARKED ON RIGHT SIDE. I USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP CAR - SINCE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW CAR DOWN. I WAS ABOUT TO HIT TREE HEAD ON - I SAW LAST PARKING SPACE EMPTY. I SWERVED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT, PULLED HARD ON EMERGENCY BRAKE AND STOPPED.. THE ENGINE MADE TERRIBLE NOISE, BURNING OIL, BURNING RUBBER FROM TIRES I HAD EXPERIENCED RUNAWAY CAR OR SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION IN THE ELECTRONICS THAT CONTROL VEHICLE POWERTRAIN. SINCE INTRODUCING ELECTRONICS INTO THROTTLE CONTROL, CASES OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAVE RISEN DRAMATICALLY. SUDDEN ACCELERATION IS OFTEN REPORTED IN BRAND NEW VEHICLES LIKE MINE. THERE IS NO "PROOF" OF THIS - AT HONDA SHOP - UNLESS ENGINEER CALLED IN, WHICH HONDA WON'T DO. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS. ONCE THIS HAPPENS - IT WILL DEFINITELY HAPPEN A 2ND TIME - SOME ARE KILLED, SOME IN COMA, PARALYZED. I CALLED THE PIONEER LAWYER ON "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" CLAIMS. HE TOLD ME I WAS QUITE LUCKY CHEATING DEATH BY AN INCH, AND I SEEMED SO CALM. THE DEALER HAS MY CAR ALL WEEK, NO CALLS FROM ANYONE. WON'T GIVE ME LOANER CAR. I HAVE HAD NO CAR FOR 8 DAYS NOW. I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR - SO NEED TO GET HONDA TO BUY IT BACK. DEALERS WILL NEVER ADMIT TO PROBLEM, BLAMES SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON INNOCENT PEOPLE.

WHEELS
I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE FROM TEAM HONDA MILTON, ONTARIO, CANADA AND WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK THE TPMS ALERT GOT TRIGGERED. SINCE THEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND ALL THEY DID WAS CHANGED THE TIRE PRESSURE. THEY HAVE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THE FACT THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE DIDN'T CHANGE FROM MY FIRST VISIT. IT GOT TRIGGERED AGAIN LAST WEEK AND I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THEM. APPARENT IT SEEMS THAT THEY HAVE SOLD ME A NEW CAR WITH A DEFECTIVE TPMS SYSTEM AND NOW THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE TIRE PRESSURE LOOKS FINE ON VISUAL INSPECTION AND I AM ALSO TOLD THAT THE TIRE HAS NITROGEN IN IT. TPMS IS AN IMPORTANT FEATURE AS FAR AS ROAD SAFETY IS CONCERNED AND IF IT GIVES FAKE ALERTS EVERY 3/4 DAYS THEN IT BECOMES A REAL ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERN ABOUT MY SAFETY IN THIS CAR AND ALSO QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THE BUSINESS ATTITUDE OF THIS DEALERSHIP. I WOULD HIGHLY APPRECIATE IF I CAN GET ANY KIND OF GUIDANCE/HELP FROM YOUR SIDE.

PARTITIONED SIDE VIEW MIRRORS ON MY SPORT MODEL MAKES ME MORE CONFUSED THAN EVER. IT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THESE MIRRORS. HONDA YOU MAKE THINGS BETTER, HOW IN THE WORLD YOU THOUGHT IT MAKES SIDE VIEWING EASIER/CLEARER. THIS IS CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF "IMPROVEMENT FOR THE WORSE". ALSO, HONDA USED A CHEAP REARVIEW MIRROR. REALLY DID NOT EXPECT THIS FROM HONDA.
