THE SCREEN FREQUENTLY POPS UP THE WARNING OF TIRES, ABS AND OTHER ISSUES ON THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER. AFTER INSPECTION, EVERYTHING IS FINE. IT SUSPECTED AS BUGS FOR THE SYSTEM, BUT REALLY MISLEADING AND IMPACTED ON THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM HAD EXISTED FOR 1+ YEAR WITHOUT FIX.

STEERING
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING OF THE CAR WHICH SO FAR HAS ONLY PRESENTED ITSELF IN WINTER WHEN THE TEMPERATURES ARE LOWER. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED IN NOVEMBER OF 2019 WHEN THE CAR HAD ROUGHLY 18,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS LEASED TO ME AS A NEW VEHICLE, AND I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS SPENT APPRECIABLE TIME DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55+ MPH IN COLD WEATHER, IT REQUIRES HIGHER THAN NORMAL EFFORT TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FROM ITS ON-CENTER POSITION (SUCH AS TO MAKE MINOR CORRECTIONS TO MAINTAIN LANE POSITION). IF ENOUGH EFFORT IS EXERTED, THE STEERING WHEEL BREAKS FREE AND THEN ALLOWS THE CAR TO BE STEERED WITH NORMAL EFFORT UNTIL THE WHEEL AGAIN REMAINS ON-CENTER FOR A FEW SECONDS, AT WHICH POINT IT BECOMES "STICKY" AGAIN, REQUIRING HIGH EFFORT TO MOVE. AT THIS POINT IT ONLY OCCURS AT THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE, BUT MY CONCERN IS THIS COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD THE EFFORT BECOME ANY HIGHER, REQUIRING SUCH FORCE TO MOVE THE WHEEL THAT THE RESULT WILL BE TO SWERVE OUT OF ONE'S LANE WHEN IT BREAKS FREE, OR EVEN LOCKING ON CENTER ALTOGETHER, MAKING THE CAR UNCONTROLLABLE BY THE DRIVER. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A PURELY MECHANICAL ISSUE (E.G. AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING RACK) BECAUSE TURNING THE IGNITION OFF RETURNS THE STEERING TO NORMAL EFFORT AND THE "STICKING" IS RESOLVED. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL NHTSA COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND IN INTERNET SEARCHES THAT DESCRIBE PRECISELY THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE REPORTED IT TODAY, 7/23/2020, TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE CAR - TOM KADLEC HONDA IN ROCHESTER, MN - AS I WOULD LIKE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BEFORE COLD TEMPERATURES RETURN.

2018 ACCORD RANDOMLY AND AUTOMATICALLY BRAKES HARD WHEN NO OBVIOUS HAZARD IS AROUND. THE ACC WILL TURN OFF AND ERROR IS DISPLAYED SAYING SEE YOUR DEALER. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF IT RESETS AND ACC IS RUNNING AGAIN. I AM GETTING VERY NERVOUS DRIVING THIS CAR ON HIGHWAYS.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM KICKS ON AND WILL VIOLENTLY STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. EACH TIME THERE HAS BEEN NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME OR EVEN NEAR ME THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO OCCUR. ADDITIONALLY, EACH TIME I WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER THAN 45-50 MILE PER HOUR. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE CAR BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR-ENDED ME BUT AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT BY QUICKLY SHIFTING OVER TO THE NEXT LANE. THIS ACTION OF COURSE CAUSED A POTENTIAL ROAD RAGE EXCHANGE BECAUSE THE DRIVER HAD NO IDEA MY CAR HAD MALFUNCTIONED.

THIS WORK WAS DONE AND COMPLETED ON JUNE 30TH, 2020. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON JULY 1ST, 2020 FROM THE SERVICE CENTER. ON JULY 9TH, 2020 THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND STALLED IN A RESIDENTIAL PARKING LOT. I PHONED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE GIVING MY VEHICLE ID AND LOCATION,THEREAFTER A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AND TOWED TO THE VEHICLE TO RUSTY WALLIS HONDA. I WAS CONTACTED BY [XXX] (SERVICE ADVISOR) WHO INFORMED THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED MY VEHICLE FROM OVERNIGHT AND THAT "THEY WERE ABLE TO START MY VEHICLE". SHE ALSO STATED THAT IF THE ISSUE TURNS OUT TO BE THE BATTERY, THAT VANDERGRIFF HONDA WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THIS PURCHASE WAS WITHIN 30DAYS. THE NEXT CALL I RECEIVED I WAS INFORMED THAT ISSUE WAS NOT THE BATTERY, BUT RATHER A "GAS ISSUE". AT THAT MOMENT I INFORMED HER THAT THE RECALL REPAIR THAT WAS COMPLETED ON JUNE 30TH WAS THE "FUEL PUMP MOTOR". WITH THIS INFORMATION NOTED THAT SINCE THAT WAS A RECALL REPAIR( THE FUEL PUMP MOTOR) THAT REPAIR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WOULD UPDATE ME ON THE CONTINUING REPAIR. I WAS CONTACTED THE NEXT DAY BY AND INFORMED ME THAT A FUEL INJECTOR RAIL PART THAT WAS NEEDED IS BEING ORDERED, HOWEVER BECAUSE IT WAS SATUDAY THAT THIS PART WOULD NOT BE IN STOCK UNTIL TUEDAY JULY 14, 2020. ON JULY 15TH I CALLED INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. UPON SPEAKING TO A GENTLEMAN BY THE NAME OF [XXX] WHO ANSWERED THE TELEPHONE. [XXX] EXPLAINED TO ME THAT MY CAR WAS STILL DISABLED AND THAT HE WOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER (ASKING FOR A 30 -40 MINUTES FOR AN UPDATE FOR ME. THIS WAS 19 HOURS AGO.

WHILE DRIVING NOTICED AC BLOWING HOT AIR. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, ISSUE: CONDENSER LEAKING FREON. NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT. ADVISED TO CALL DEALERSHIP AS THEY HAD A RECALL ON 2016 HONDAS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I PROBABLY HIT SOMETHING THAT PUNCTURED IT. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. APPARENTLY THE FREON LEAKING IS FLAMMABLE. IF OTHER VEHICLES FROM HONDA WERE RECALLED THIS COULD LIKELY BE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A 2018 MODEL.

AC CONDENSER LEAKING NEW TYPE OF REFRIGERANT (1234YF) WHICH APPARENTLY IS FLAMMABLE. HONDA SERVICE REP SAYS CONDENSER WAS "PROBABLY" PUNCTURED BY A FOREIGN OBJECT FROM THE ROAD. HOWEVER, HONDA HAS RECOGNIZED DEFECTIVE CONDENSERS LEAKING REFRIGERANT IN 2018 CIVICS AND HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES FOR 10 YEARS FOR THESE AND OTHER MODEL YEARS. I SUSPECT THAT MY ACCORD CONDENSER WAS MANUFACTURED WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR DEFECT. I PURCHASED MY ACCORD IN SPRING OF 2018 AT A TIME WHEN NOT MANY WERE BEING SOLD, WHICH MAY EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS NOT YET A RECOGNIZED DEFECT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN COMMUTING, UNTIL RECENTLY, LONG DISTANCES FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY KIND OF AC PROBLEM OR HAD A FOREIGN OBJECT PUNCTURE AN AC CONDENSER. IN ANY EVENT, AS I UNDERSTAND THE NEW REFRIGERANT IS FLAMMABLE, SO IF THIS IS ANOTHER MANUFACTURING DEFECT THEN IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

BOTH IN 2019 AND ON TODAY, 6/19/2020. *TR

SO THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WITH THE CRASH MITIGATION SYSTEM TURNED ON. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL TRIGGER THE SYSTEM WITH A FALSE POSITIVE CRASH DETECTION AND WILL EMERGENCY BRAKE FOR YOU AND CUT THE GAS SO YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD A FEW FALSE POSITIVES. THE FIRST 2 TIMES WAS A COMPLETE HORROR STORY. I WAS DRIVING IN A HIGH-SPEED ENVIRONMENT, WHILE A TRUCK WAS MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY, I WAS SUPPOSED TO ACCELERATE PAST HIM AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT BEEPED AND HALT TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY THE SEMI EVADED ME AND I REGAIN CONTROL AND SPEED OUT OF THE WAY. 2ND TIME WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER SEMI, I WAS LUCKY THAT PEOPLE GOT OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE TRUCK TO CLEAR ME. THE 3RD TIME OCCURRED JUST LAST WEEK ON THURSDAY. THERE WAS A CAR 5 CAR DISTANCE FROM ME, LEFT OF ME HAS A ROW OF CARS MAKING A LEFT, FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. WELL, SOMEHOW IT DECIDED TO GO APE[XXX] AND CAUSED ME TO GET REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

WHEN I SLOW DOWN MY HYBRID 2018 HONDA ACCORD USING THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING PEDALS I REALIZED THE CAR SLOWS DOWN ENOUGH THAT THE FOLLOWING NEEDS TO BE WARNED BY BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON. THE CURRENT DESIGN OF THE CAR THE BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T COME ON WITH REGENERATIVE BRAKING AND THIS CAN CAUSE REAR END COLLISION. *TR
