SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 2013, THE RADIO SOMETIMES WILL NOT GET A LOT OF STATIC AND FUZZ. TO CLEAR UP THE STATIC, WE HAVE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF THEN RESTART THE CAR AND RADIO PLAYS CLEARLY. I LEARNED THIS TECHNIQUE FROM A HONDA FORUM

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 2013, THIS CAR HESITATES AFTER STOPPING AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE WITH THE FRONT WHEELS TURNED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT FOR A LEFT TURN. THE CAR SHUTTERS AS IF IT IS ABOUT TO SHUT DOWN- VERY DANGERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT ON A DIVIDED STREET OR HIGHWAY WITHOUT A SIGNAL LIGHT.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE'S A LOT OF VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO THERE IS A LEAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, YOU CAN HEAR THE WIND LIKE IT'S NOT COMPLETELY SEALED.

STEERING
MY POWER STEERING FAILED TWICE IN ONE DAY. WHILE TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THEN IT CORRECTED ITSELF. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. EACH TIME IT WAS FROM A STATIONARY POSITION ON A CITY STREET TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK. I AM LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY.

ENGINE
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 TO 65 MPH, GRINDING NOISE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AT CRUISING SPEED (65 MPH) RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL TO MAINTAIN MY SPEED. THEN TAP THE GAS PEDAL LIGHTLY TO GET BACK ON SPEED, THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I START NOTICING THIS AROUND 8000 MILES ON THE CAR. CAR NOW HAS 13,200 MILES. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER , BUT HONDA IS SAYING IT IS NORMAL. GRINDING NOISE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AT THAT SPEED IS NOT NORMAL. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE DONE THE ROAD, GRINDING NOISE IS CAUSED BY TWO OBJECTS RUBBING AT EACH OTHER, ONE DAY THIS OBJECTS WILL WEAR OUT AND FAIL. IVE BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT TO HONDA, BUT NO RESOLUTION. I'M HOPING NHTSA CAN HELP

ENGINE
I PURCHASED A NEW 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT (CVT) IN 2013. AS OF OCTOBER 6, 2015, THE CAR IS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 37,447 MILES. THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK AND ALL I HEAR ARE CLICKS. IT TAKES 3-5 IGNITION ATTEMPTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. SOMETIMES IT WILL START ON THE FIRST TRY. FURTHERMORE, SOMETIMES I LEAVE IT ALONE FOR ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO WITH THE KEY OUT AND THEN IT WILL START. ONCE IT STARTS, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE FINE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TEST THE BATTERY AND THE RESULT WAS A GOOD BATTERY. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE AND WILL NOT GIVE A GOODWILL WARRANTY TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THIS STARTUP PROBLEM. THEY SAID I WOUD HAVE TO PAY IF NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A NEW CAR AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

STEERING
ON JULY 2, 2015 WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, POWER STEERING FAILED AND INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER NEXT DAY, SOFTWARE UPDATE DONE, AND I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOT REOCCUR. ON OCT 6, 2015, WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, IT FAILED AGAIN. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND TOLD THEY WILL NOW REPLACE GEARBOX. I ASKED WHAT WAS CAUSING THIS AND HOW THIS FIX WILL WORK AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T KNOW! THEY'RE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, AND APPEARS HONDA DOES NOT TRULY KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL APPLIED HARD BRAKING WHILE VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE REPORTED MALFUNCTIONING VEHICLE. BRAKING WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO PROPEL OCCUPANTS AGAINST SEAT BELTS AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER TO THE LEFT WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A REAR END COLLISSION

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SINCE DELIVERY DATE OF VEHICLE FROM DEALER MY VEHICLES NAVIGATION AND STEREO HAVE NOT WORKED. I BROUGHT IT IN THE SERVICE DEPT COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, THEY REPLACED THE NAVIGATION AND STEREO AND THE PROBLEM STILL TO THIS DAY EXIST. WHEN THIS RADIO IS ON SOMETIMES IT FREEZES AND THE NAV UNIT STATES THE RADIO IS OFF AND OTHER TIMES IT JUST STAYS ON, VOLUME INCREASES ON ITS OWN, CANNOT USE TOUCH SCREEN, CANNOT CHANGE STATIONS AND THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH GO ON AND OFF AND CAR SHUTS OFF. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER IF IT GOES BACK TO WORKING THE SERVICE DEPT TELLS ME THAT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TO KEEP DRIVING IT AND BRING IT BACK. ON SEPT 21 I BROUGHT IT IN TO DEALER AND IT SHUT OFF AT DEALER 3X'S MAKING THEM JUMP START IT AND I HAVE ONCE AGAIN RECEIVED MY CAR WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WORKS. THEY SAID THE BATTERY AND COMPUTER TEST COME BACK OK BUT THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY IN HOPES THAT THAT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT IS 9/24/15 AND SAME THING HAPPENED THIS MORNING. BUT SINCE AFTER 3 HOURS OF TRYING TO TURN IT BACK ON IT DID AND I CANT GO BACK TO BEING WITHOUT A CAR BECAUSE I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, HAVE TO WORK AND KNOW THE DEALER WILL SAY ITS WORKING AGAIN I HAVE TO JUST PRAY IT WILL NOT HAPPEN WHILE ON THE ROAD

STEERING
I'VE HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW AND ABOUT A MONTH INTO ME OWNING THE VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN CLEARED. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVNT HAD ANY PROBLEMS UP UNTIL LAST WEEK. I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 55 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE EPS LIGHT COMES ON. I HAD TO MUSCLE THE CAR OVER A FEW LANES TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE TO AVOID HITTING ANYONE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE EPS LIGHT CLEARS AND THE STEERING WHEEL FUNCTION GOES BACK TO NORMAL. SINCE THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE I FIGURED IT WILL BE FINE. I THOUGHT THAT UNTIL MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME AGAIN A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THEN AGAIN AS I AM A FEW MILES FROM HOME. I HAD TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL AND FROM SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY AND ONLY HAD ACCESS TO MY CAR AND MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND I'M SETTING UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR LATER ON THIS WEEK TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.

WHEELS
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I BEGAN TO HEAR A STRANGE SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. AS IT BECAME LOUDER, I DETECTED IT WAS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL. WHEN I PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND INCREASED MY SPEED THE NOISE BECAME SLIGHTLY LOUDER SO I SLOWED DOWN TO 50 MPH. SUDDENLY THE NEXT THING I KNEW THE CAR BEGAN EXPERIENCING DRAG AND SLOWED SO I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND REALIZED THE TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. THE TREAD ON THE TIRE IS STILL VERY GOOD THOUGH. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE OTHER THREE (3) TIRES AND WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD REPLACE THEM, AS WELL. UNFORTUNATELY, I'M WORKING IN KOREA WITH THE US MILITARY AND HAD MY CAR SHIPPED OVER HERE. WHEN I CALLED HONDA IN THE STATES ABOUT THE MATTER (TIRE WARRANTY = 6 YEARS) THEY STATED WHILE LIVING ABROAD THEY DO NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY UNTIL I RETURN.

STEERING
DURING A TRIP TO VIRGINIA FROM FLA. I STOPPED AT ROCK HILL CAROLINS FOR GAS. UPON LEAVING THE STATION AND BEFORE GETTING BACK ON 95 NORTH MY POWER STEERING FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR RESETTING THE STEERING. APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES LATER ON 95 THE STEERING FAILED A SECOND TIME. I AGAIN MADE THE NEXT EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO RESET EVERYTHING. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME WITH NO SUBSEQUENT FAILURES. THE POWER STEERING ELECTRONIC MODULE WAS REPLACED BY HONDA APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO OR LESS AND THIS IS A REPEAT OF THE SYMPTOMS AT THAT TIME. THIS IS A PRINCIPAL SAFETY ISSUE.
