UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN DECEMBER 2019, MY CAR AIR CONDITIONER WAS MAKING AN UNUSAL NOISE WHEN BEING TURNED ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN THERE SAID THAT THE AIR CONDENSER WAS LEAKING. HE ADDED THAT IT WOULD BE A >$1000 CHARGE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. AT THAT TIME, BECAUSE THE WEATHER WAS NOT TOO HOT, THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT A BIG ISSUE SO I DID NOT FIX IT THEN. HOWEVER, IN JUNE 2020, THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING WARM AIR AND IT WAS A HOT SUMMER SO I HAD TO PAY >$1000 TO FIX IT BY THE DEALER. I SAW THE RECALL FOR HONDA CIVIC MODEL OF THE SAME YEAR BEING CLAIMED FOR THE SAME ISSUE SO I TALKED TO THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY WERE SAYING THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO HONDA ACCORD MODELS. HOWEVER, MY BROTHER, WHO HAS THE SAME MODEL OF THE SAME YEAR, HAD THE SAME ISSUE SO HE HAD TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS WELL. I ALSO HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR CASES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER OF THE SAME MODEL MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR. I BELIEVE, JUST LIKE THE CIVIC MODELS, A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IF YOU GOOGLE "HONDA ACCORD AIR CONDITIONER', IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO FIND THE ISSUE. I HOPE MY APPEAL PREVENTS ANY UNFORTUNATE, UNEXPECTED AND STILL UNFAIR COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNERS. THIS IS AN AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEM SO IN SUMMER THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE THOROUGHLY. - OWNER OF 2018 HONDA ACCORD

SERVICE BRAKES
THE 2018 ACCORDS HAVE A SYSTEM CALLED "BRAKE HOLD" WHICH IS INTENDED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHILE A VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT, SAY, A STOP-LIGHT. THE INTENT SEEMS TO BE TO ALLOW THE DRIVER TO HAVE THEIR FOOT ON THE GAS, INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM FREQUENTLY HAS AN ISSUE WHERE IT ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO CREEP. THIS, GENERALLY, SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN COLDER TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER, PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR IS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO A SLOW ROLL, THEN STOPPED (USING THE BRAKE PEDAL) AND AS SOON AS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASE, THE BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM FAILS TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN THE STOPPED POSITION. AFTER A SIGNIFICANT DELAY, THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS ENGAGED, BUT THE VEHICLES HAD, AT THAT POINT, LURCHED FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES, IF NOT OVER A FOOT. THIS INDICATES (JUST AS WITH THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM DELAYS, DISCUSSED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS) THAT THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WITH THE TIMING OF THE CONTROL SYSTEM UTILIZED IN THE BRAKE HOLD, THE SENSOR(S) OR BOTH, WHERE THE SYSTEM FAILS TO DETECT THE CONDITIONS IN REAL TIME AND REACTS IN A DELAYED MANNER. AGAIN, AS WITH OTHER ISSUES ON THE LATER HONDA MODELS, HONDA HAS FAILED TO PERFORM COMPREHENSIVE TROUBLESHOOTING OF THE ISSUE (EVEN AFTER ME TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AS INDICATED BY HONDA)>

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
THE CMBS (COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM) HAD ANOTHER FAILURE. THIS IS DUE TO THE RADAR SENSOR BEING BLOCKED AND THEN OTHER SAFETY SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE HAVING CASCADING FAILURES. LAST WINTER, THE RADAR SENSOR HAD FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY AND I HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY, SUPPOSEDLY, PERFORMED SOME SORT OF AN ADJUSTMENT. DURING A PHONE CALL WITH A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE, THE REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMED THAT "THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN." HOWEVER, WHAT HAPPENS NOW IS I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE CLAIMING THAT THERE IS A FAILURE IN THE CMBS SYSTEM, EVERY TIME THE RADAR SENSOR IS BLOCKED, DIRECTING ME TO "TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER." HENCE, SHE LIED. FURTHERMORE, THE FAILURES INDICATE HONDA'S FAILURE IN PRODUCING A SAFETY SYSTEM THAT IS RELIABLE IN A WIDE RANGE OF WEATHER CONDITIONS. HONDA CEO RECENTLY CLAIMED THAT HONDA WILL BE PRODUCING LEVEL 3 AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES. THAT IS HORRIFYING, CONSIDERING HONDA CAN'T EVEN MAKE A CMBS AND A RADAR SENSOR THAT DOES NOT FAIL CONSTANTLY. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE HONDA RECALL ALL THE MODELS WHICH USE THE RADAR SENSOR AND THE CMBS THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE ONE IN THE 2018 ACCORD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS REALLY HURT. PLEASE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED IN MAY 2019. CURRENTLY < 50,000 MILES. ALL SERVICE PERFORMED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO BEGAN TO NOTICE GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, THOUGH IT WAS COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE/OTHER VEHICLES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LAST WEEK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, WAS TOLD THE FUEL INJECTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, CYLINDER 3 ISSUE. LAST RESORT WAS TO DO A FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING SERVICE, HAD THAT DONE. TWO DAYS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. I AM NOT CONVINCED THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS THAT REQUIRED A RECALL FOR MANY 2018 ACCORDS WITH 2.0T ENGINES ARE NOT ALSO IMPACTING 1.5T ENGINES.

THE SEALS AROUND THE DOORS, WEATHER STRIPPING IS COMING LOSE, SEATS ARE FALLING APART, THE RADIO AND NAVIGATION SCREEN WILL GO BLACK AND REBOOT ITSELF. THE COLLISION CONTROL SYSTEM WILL GET YOU KILLED IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL. I WAS GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, HAD MY TURN SIGNAL ON. AS I'M MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 50 MPH, THE CAR THINKS I'VE FALLEN ASLEEP OR SOMETHING. THE CAR FORCIBLY TAKES ME BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND DOWNSHIFTS THE CAR WHILE BRAKING? SCARED ME TO DEATH. I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A TURN SIGNAL ON. LUCKILY IT WAS 3AM OR I COULD'VE BEEN SMASHED. ALSO, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL FLASH AT TIMES, NO ONE IS IN FRONT OF YOU. OR IT FLASHES LIKE YOU'RE ABOUT TO HIT SOMEONE BUT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT FLASH. ALSO, IF YOU DRIVE ANY LENGTH, IT SYSTEM WILL STATE THAT THE DRIVER HAS LOW ATTENTION SPAN. NOT SURE WHY, IT'S NOT LIKE I'M WEAVING. I THINK THE CAR NEEDS TO FEEL SOME MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING OR IT THINKS YOU'RE NODDING OFF. THE CAR SALESMAN WARNED ME THAT THE NEW BELLS AND WHISTLES, TECHNOLOGY, COULD HAVE ISSUES BECAUSE THE TECH IS NEW BUT NOTHING SPECIFIC. TRY TO SELL ME 3800 IN WARRANTY TO COVER TECH. THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE AT THE TIME. NOW, I'M THINKING THAT HE KNEW SPECIFICS AND DIDN'T SHARE.

POWER TRAIN
INTERMITTENLY (I.E. EVERY SO MANY HUNDREDS OF MILES), THE VEHICLE HAS EXTREMELY VIOLENT SHIFTS AT LOW SPEEDS (2-20 MILES), WHERE UPON SHIFTS IT ALMOST FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RE-ENDED. HONDA HAS NOT PROPERLY INVESTIGATED ISSUE AS THEIR USUAL M.O. IS TO SEND THE CUSTOMER TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS FOR "TROUBLESHOOTING" WHICH, OF COURSE, IS NOT SUFFICIENT TIME-SPAN FOR THE ISSUE TO MANIFEST ITSELF. AS WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER ISSUES IN THE 2016-2020 HONDA MODELS, HONDA HAS NOT PROPERLY INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE AND IT IS ANOTHER POTENTIAL FORESHADOWING OF A MASS FAILURE JUST AS HONDA HAD WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN THE 2000-2017 TIME SPAN. AND IT WOULD SEEM THAT HONDA IS UP TO THEIR WAYS AGAIN, WHEN IT COMES TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2020/HONDA-ODYSSEY-TRANSMISSION-PROBLEMS-CAUSE-LAWSUIT.SHTML IN THEIR OTHER MODELS.

ON 10/29/2020, WHILE CHANGING LANES, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY CUT THE POWER AND SLAMMED THE BRAKES, WHILE FLASHING "BRAKE" ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE WERE NO VEHICLE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY IN THE LANE IN TO WHICH THE CHANGE WAS PERFORMED. THE RADAR SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE HAS PREVIOUSLY CAUSE A NUMBER OF ISSUES AND THIS WAS AN EXTREME CASE OF THE CMBS (COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKE SYSTEM) REACTING IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE DECELERATION WAS ABRUPT TO THE POINT OF POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE INCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE NEW LANE IMPACTING THE VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. HONDA'S REPRESENTATIVES HAD SWORN LAST WINTER, WHEN THE RADAR SENSOR HAD MALFUNCTIONED TO THE POINT OF CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT CASCADED TO SEVERAL OF THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEMS THAT "ISSUES WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN." THAT WAS A LIE. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA RELATED TO THE SAFETY SYSTEM IN THE CR-V MODELS: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2020/HONDA-CR-V-SENSING-LAWSUIT-SUVS-SUDDENLY-STOP.SHTML CONSIDERING THAT THE SIMILAR RADAR SENSORS ARE USED IN THE PILOT, ODYSSEY, ACCORD AND THE CR-VS, AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL SHOULD BE LAUNCHED FOR THE MAJORITY OF HONDA MODEL PRODUCED SINCE 2016. AGAIN, THE SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTIONED A NUMBER OF TIMES, WITH HONDA FAILING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE PROPERLY UPON SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND VISITS TO A DEALER.

EARLY ON, AFTER BUYING THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT THE HOOD ON THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THEN UNFORTUNATELY, THE CAR HAD BEEN HIT BY HAIL STORM. THE HOOD HAD TO BE REPLACED (AT LEAST, ACCORDING TO THE SHOP THAT DID THE WORK). THE REPLACEMENT WAS PURCHASED FROM A HONDA DEALER AND PERTAINED TO BE OEM PART. RIGHT AWAY IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE HOOD DOES NOT FIT CORRECTLY (WITHOUT ANY OBVIOUS WAY TO ADJUST THE FIT). A SECOND OEM HOOD WAS ORDERED WITH THE SAME LACK OF TOLERANCES. FOLLOWING THE INSTALLATION AND RE-PAINTING OF THE HOOD, TWO SEPARATE BODY SPECIALISTS TRIED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT WHICH RESULTED IN SLIGHTLY BETTER FIT, BUT STILL, THE HOOD (JUST AS THE ORIGINAL) VIBRATES (NOT A LITTLE, BUT AN UNSETTLING AMOUNT) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HONDA ALREADY A HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PILOT MODEL'S HOOD: HTTPS://HONDA.OEMDTC.COM/711/HOOD-FLUTTER-OR-VIBRATION-AT-HIGHWAY-SPEEDS-2016-2019-HONDA-PILOT-2017-2019-RIDGELINE AND NOW, 2018+ OWNERS ARE STARTING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HOOD STABILITY AT HIGHER SPEEDS AS WELL. WHEN I HAD INITIALLY RAISED THE ISSUE WITH AMERICAN HONDA, THEY IGNORED IT (AND, AS THEY ALWAYS DO, TOLD ME TO GOT TO THE DEALER). SINCE THEN, HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING TO TRULY ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. AN INVESTIGATION (AND A POSSIBLE RECALL) SHOULD BE INITIATED.

LOW TIRE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN YOUR TIRES AREN'T LOW. HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME THING. BELIEVE THIS IS DANGEROUS AS A PERSON DRIVING ON A INTERSTATE COULD IGNORE THE LIGHT BELIEVING THE READING OF LOW TIRE IS FALSE WHEN IN REALITY IT MAY NOT. TIRE GOES FLAT AT HIGH SPEEDS OR BLOW OUT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE BUT CANNOT DO ANYTHING. ALSO SAID THE RESULT OF THE WARNING COULD BE WEATHER OR ROAD CONDITIONS. OUR VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY WITH 30,800 MILES. THERE ARE SENDING UNITS FOR EACH TIRE. IF THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S THEN WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO,KEEP PRODUCING THIS DEFECT. LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN AND IT IS VERY AGGRAVATING TO KEEP CHECKING THE AIR IN OUR TIRES EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DAYS AS I TOOK IT TO A TIRE DEALER AND THEY FOUND THERE WAS PROPER AIR IN THE TIRES ON 10/26/2020. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STOPPED.

CAR LOST COMPLETE ENGINE POWER AND WAS IN TRAFFIC, IN MOTION AND LUCKILY COULD COAST INTO PARKING LOT. HONDA IS CLAIMING A MODIFIED ECU AND IS DISPUTING WARRANTY. I HAVE OWNED CAR SINCE NEW AND HAVE NEVER MODIFIED ANYTHING ON THE CAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED BY ME AND ONLY HAS 48,914 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. A HONDA DEALER DIAGNOSED IT SO FAR AS HAVING A BROKEN SPARK PLUG TIP AND THE PISTON IS NOT MOVING UP AND DOWN -CYLINDER 1.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME DRIVING AND HAD THE VEHICLE AUTOMATIC BRAKES COME ON AND STOP IT SELF. EACH TIME 1 MONTH APART. AUGUST 24TH 2020 TOOK INTO MISLIN HONDA IN MODESTO BECAUSE REAR BRAKES WERE ALSO MAKING NOISE. FOUND OUT RIGHT REAR INNER PAD WAS COMPLETELY WORN. MENTIONED ALSO THE AUTO BREAKING ISSUE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A DUE TO THE KNOWN BRAKE CALIPER ISSUE. CALIPER AND BRAKE PAD WERE REPLACED AND WAS TOLD SENSORS WERE RESET AND SHOULD FIX AUTO BRAKING PROBLEM. RETURNED A MONTH LATER BECAUSE OF REAR BRAKE NOISE AGAIN WAS TOLD BRAKES WERE LUBED AND ROTORS RESURFACED. TONIGHT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING GOING 40MPH NO CARS IN SIGHT VEHICLE BRAKE MESSAGE CAME ON AND BRAKES SLAMMED ON CAUSING OUR DOG TO GO FLYING INSIDE OF CAR. CAR IS AT 35950 MILES 2018 AND CLOSE TO BEING OUT OF WARRANTY FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2019, BRAND NEW. IN JULY 2020 I NOTICED THE PAINT PEELING CHIPPING. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ON 7/14/20, 7/29/20, 8/12/20. WAS REPEATEDLY BLOWN OFF AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE CONTACTING HONDA OF AMERICA. HONDA CLAIMS THAT TREE SAP CAUSED THE PAINT TO PEEL BUT THE INDEPENDENT BODY SHOP I BROUGHT IT TO SAID THAT THERE WOULD BE OTHER SPOTS OF TREE SAP AND THAT THE TREE SAP WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE FROM THE CAR. THEY SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT THIS IS A BOLD FACED LIE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA OF AMERICA AND RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL ON 10/7/2020 STATING THAT THEY WERE LOOKING INTO IT. I RECEIVED ANOTHER VOICEMAIL ON 10/21/2020 STATING THAT THEY WERE STANDING BY THE ORIGINAL HONDA OF AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY TREE SAP. THE BODY SHOP, GEIST TOWING AND RECOVERY, STATED THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THAT SINCE HONDA IS LYING ABOUT THE ACTUAL CAUSE THAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND STRIPPING THE ENTIRE CAR AND REPAINTING. IF THEY WERE HONEST ONLY THE SUN FACING SURFACES MAY REQUIRE REPAIR.
