FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
I2 WEEKS AGO I HAD MY CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEM UPDATED AS PER THE RECALL NOTICE. EVERYTHING WAS FINE THEN 2 DAYS AGO I NOTICED ON THE HEADS UP DISPLAY "CRUISE) WHICH HAD NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE. I SET THE SPEED AT 65 ON THE FREEWAY AND IT HELD THE SPEED FINE, HOWEVER, AS I APPROACHED ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND IT DID NOT SLOW DOWN TO MATCH THE SPEED OF THE OTHER CAR. I HAD TO BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING IT. I TRIED USING THE INTERVAL BUTTON TO SET THE DISTANCE FROM THE OTHER VEHICLE BUT IT DID NOT WORK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING 3/23/2021 AND AFTER 90 MINUTES THEY CALLED ME OUT TO LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. APPARENTLY, IF YOU HOLD THE INTERVAL BUTTON DOWN FOR 2-5 SECONDS IT DISENGAGES THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE CAR IS REVERTED TO AN OLDER SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT SENSE THE SPACING WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I NEVER HAD TOUCHED THE INTERVAL BUTTON PRIOR TO THE CAR REVERTING TO THIS OLDER SYSTEM AND IT WENT TO IT BY ITSELF. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY IT WENT TO THIS SYSTEM WHILE IN MOTION BY ITSELF AND ONLY SINCE I HAD THE UPDATED SYSTEM INSTALLED DUE TO THE RECALL. IF I HADN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION I WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONTOF ME.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LOUD HUMMING/WHINING NOISE OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35-50 MPH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS EAR SPLITTING NOISE IS TO CRACK A WINDOW. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, IT IS A KNOWN-ISSUE WITH THE AUTOMATIC NOISE CANCELLING SYSTEM IN 2018 HONDA ACCORDS AND LATER. HONDA HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE IN OVER 3 YEARS. IT IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER, NOT TO MENTION UNSAFE TO HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOW OPEN IN FREEZING TEMPERATURE AND RAIN. IT HAPPENS TO ME ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE, ESPECIALLY IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 50 DEGREES.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE REAR PASSENGER BRAKE PAD IS WORN TO NOTHING. ALL OTHER PADS ARE FINE. I HAVE 22,000 MILES ON MY HONDA. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS RUSTED BECAUSE I LIVE AT THE BEACH. IF THAT IS TRUE THEN WOULD THERE NOT BE PROBLEMS WITH ALL 4. I HEARD SCRAPING SOUNDS BEFORE. THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING HAS BEEN ON. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, THE ELECTRONIC PANEL READ I NEEDED TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY AND CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS FINE.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
AUTOMATIC SENSOR BRAKING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, THERE ARE NO OTHER CARS AROUND OR OBJECT. WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKES COME ON AND THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD, THERE ARE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR TO THE SIDE. THE CAR JERKS AS THE BRAKES ARE AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED, WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE GAS PEDAL. THEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED, THE WHOLE EVENT TAKES SECONDS. IN FACT IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN THERE HAS BEEN NO CARS IN SIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED MOSTLY ON LOCAL ROADS GOING 45-50 MILES, BUT HAS OCCURED ON A HIGHWAY GOING AROUND 65 MPH. PURCHASED CAR IN 2018, STARTING HAPPENING IN 2019 AND CONTINUES UNTILL TODAY. WHEN I TOLD HONDA SERVICE, THEY SAID MAYBE THE SENSOR FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS DIRTY. I AM CONCERNED AN ACCIDENT WILL HAPPEN, IF THE BRAKES GO ON AND THERE IS NO CAR IN FRONT BUT A CAR IN BACK, ITS UNSAFE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MILES/HOUR WHEN I BEGAN TO HEAR A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE LEFT MOST AIR VENT. WITHIN SECONDS, A STRONG ELECTRICAL OR BURNING RUBBER SMELL BEGAN TO FILL THE CABIN. THE HISSING SOUND EVENTUALLY SUBSIDED. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WHITE SMOKE BEGAN TO COME THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. THE SMOKE LASTED FOR ABOUT 45-60 SECONDS. FIRST THING THE NEXT MORNING, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 WORKING DAYS BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, AND INSTRUCTED ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THEY DID SAY THAT THE CAR HAD A CODE FOR A "FAULT IN THE BLOWER MOTOR CIRCUIT", BUT SAID THAT THAT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AS OF MARCH 4TH 2021, THIS ISSUE HAS NOT REAPPEARED SINCE THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE.

STEERING
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 55 MPH OR FASTER, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT TO HOLD THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE STEERING BECOMES HARDER THAN NORMAL TO INITIATE A TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER APPLYING MORE PRESSURE THAN NORMAL, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SUDDENLY MOVE CAUSING A LARGER THAN DESIRED STEERING CORRECTION. BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA-LARGE STEERING CORRECTION ANOTHER CORRECTION WILL BE NEEDED IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, BUT THE STEERING RESIST TURNING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION UNTIL EXTRA FORCE IS APPLIED TO THE STEERING WHEEL, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SUDDENLY MOVE AND CAUSE AN OVERCORRECTION IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. THIS PROBLEM HAS ONLY HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, USUALLY AFTER 3 HOURS. THE STEERING PROBLEM CAN STILL BE PRESENT AFTER STOPPING AT A REST AREA AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, BUT WHEN THE PROBLEM DOES FINALLY GO AWAY IT IS ALWAYS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THE PROBLEM WHEN PRESENT DOES NOT ALWAYS CAUSE THE SAME RESISTANCE TO TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM IS SLIGHT AND OTHERS IT IS VERY SEVERE TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE LANE USING 2 HANDS THERE ARE 19 COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD. FEB OF 2020 FLOW HONDA OF WINSTON-SALEM REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY FURTHER PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN ON A TRIP FROM NC TO FL WHEN THE STEERING PROBLEM REAPPEARED. AFTER STOPPING AT A REST AREA FOR A 15 MIN. STOP THE STEERING PROBLEM WAS GONE. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED. ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THERE ARE 2 PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN THAT THEIR STEERING PROBLEM REAPPEARED AFTER THE RACK AND PINION HAD BEEN REPLACED. ON FEB. 8, 2021 I RETURNED THE ACCORD TO FLOW HONDA OF W-S FOR THE 4TH TIME AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER IN 2019 TO CHANGE MY OIL, THEY HAVE SAID THAT MY REAR BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT WAS VERY BIZARRE TO ME AS THE CAR IS FWD AND THE ENGINE IS IN THE FRONT, THUS MAKING MORE STRESS ON THE FRONT BRAKE PADS INSTEAD OF THE REAR BRAKE PADS. OTHER HONDA ACCORD 2018-2020 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS SAME ISSUE AND I HOPE IT CAN BE RESOLVED AS IT SEEMS THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS WEAR OFF TOO FAST. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF NOTICE.
