ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER MORE THAN TWICE WHILE MAKING A TURN AND DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND SHUT OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. WAIKEM HONDA (3910 LINCOLN WAY E, MASSILLON, OH 44646, (330) 477-5002) WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR LOCATE A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT FOUND NO FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000 AND A SECOND TIME AROUND 7,300 MILES.*BF CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" AND I CANNOT ACCELERATE. IF I WERE IN THE LEFT LANE PASSING A SEMI, I COULD VISUALIZE THIS A FATAL ACCIDENT. I AM ANTICIPATING ANOTHER "LIMP MODE" SOON AS I HAVE JUST OVER 11,000 MILES AND IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ABOUT EVERY 3 TO 4,000 MILES. *JB

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2018 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T TOURING WITH THE 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXTREMELY ROUGH FROM 2-3 GEAR, 3-4TH AND DOWNSHIFTING INTO PRETTY MUCH ANY GEAR. IT'S BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST HOW THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ON THIS CAR, WHICH I IMMEDIATELY DISPUTED BECAUSE I'VE DRIVEN OTHER EXACT MODELS THAT DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS ROUGH SHIFTING BEHAVIOR. I ALSO AM DISSATISFIED WITH THE LENGTH OF TIME IT TAKES THE VEHICLE TO ENGAGE REVERSE FROM PARK. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 3 SECONDS FOR REVERSE TO ENGAGE AT WHICH TIME IT JUST SLAMS INTO GEAR. I'VE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE VARIOUS CONCERNS I HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE A PAINT DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY ON THE REAR TRUNK LID. HONDA INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS HARD WITH MY SCHEDULE. IF THIS CONTINUES AFTER THE NEXT SERVICE APPOINTMENT, I'M GOING TO DEMAND THE CAR BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. NO OBJECT STRUCK THE GLASS TO CAUSE THE DAMAGE. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE GLASS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE EXPLOSION APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN OUTWARD.

WHEELS
WE PURCHASED OUR HONDA IN LATE OCT WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING IT WE HIT A SMALL POT HOLE WHILE TURNING LEFT ON A COUNTRY ROAD. WE WERE GOING FAIRLY SLOW BECAUSE WE WERE TURNING AND TWO TIRES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEW OUT. THINKING THIS WAS JUST SOME WEIRD ONE TIME THING WE GOT BOTH TIRES REPLACED AND SADLY WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH WE BLEW 2 MORE TIRES BOTH TIRES ON PASSENGER SIDE AGAIN. THIS TIME WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 35 AND AS WE WERE ENTERING ONTO HWY COMING UP THE ON RAMP, WE HIT ANOTHER POTHOLE. NEITHER TIME WHEN THE TIRE BLEW DID WE ONLY BLOW ONE TIRE. IT IS STRANGE TO LOSE TWO TIRES AT THE SAME TIME ESPECIALLY MORE THAN ONCE . AFTER TALKING TO DEALER WE FOUND THAT THESE TIRES HAVE VERY THIN SIDEWALLS SO THEY WEIGH LESS. THEY SAID THIS IS TO HELP WITH GAS MILLAGE.MY CONCERN IS IF THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS THIS COULD CAUSE CAR TO ROLL OR LOSE CONTROL. IN MY 40 PLUS YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER EVEN LOST ONE TIRE DUE TO HITTING A POT HOLE PRIOR TO THIS VEHICLE. SO TO LOSE 4 TIRES WITHING A COUPLE MONTHS OF PURCHASE REALLY CONCERNS ME. WE HAVE UPGRADED OUR TIRES NOW TO THE THICKER SIDEWALLS BUT I WANTED TO LET OTHERS KNOW TO BE CAUTIOUS.

I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 4 MONTHS, AND THE CAR HAS COME TO A STOP THREE TIMES ON A BUSY STATE ROUTE AT RUSH HOUR, AND ONCE ON A STREET WHEN THE ROAD EXPANDED FROM ONE LANE TO TWO. I AM NOW TURNING THE CMBS OFF EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR. HOWEVER, THE BRAKING SYSTEM STILL ENGAGED! I MUST CROSS OVER A SOLID WHITE LINE TO ACCESS THE FREEWAY, AND I'M SCARED THAT THE CAR WILL STOP THERE EVERY DAY. ONE DAY WAS BRIGHT AND SUNNY OUT, ONE DAY WAS DARK BEFORE SUNRISE, ONE DAY WAS CLOUDY AND OVERCAST. IN ALL CASES, THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT AND DRY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
HAD THE CAR ABOUT 6 MONTHS, AND HAVE HALF A DOZEN SMALL ROCK CHIPS IN THE GLASS. HAD SAFELITE COME OUT TO REPAIR AND THEY SAID THEY ARE GETTING A TON OF THESE NEW ACCORDS IN FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT BUT MY CHIPS WERE TOO SMALL TO REPAIR. GUESS I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO CRACK AND SPREAD AND GET A WHOLE NEW $1,000 WINDSHIELD. THIS GLASS SEEMS WAY TOO PRONE TO CHIPS AND CRACKING. OTHER OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR WINDSHIELD CRACKING WITH NO SIGNS OF VISIBLE DAMAGE.

ENGINE
THE CAR ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT HAPPENED ON MARCH 28 1:30PM WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY 24. THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING ON HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES WHEN I FIRST SMELLED SOMETHING IS BURNING. I THEN SAW SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE FRONT SECTION OF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CHANGED LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO STOPPED THE CAR BY PRESSING THE FOOT BRAKE. THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW DOWN BUT IT WAS CONTINUED ROWING FORWARD. IT IS ON A SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL SLOP. AS SEEING SMOKE GETTING DARKER AND MORE STRONG, I PRESSED THE PARKING BRAKE AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT STOPPED. I THEN OPENED THE CAR DOOR AND ROWED OUT FROM THE CAR ONTO THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO CAR AND I WAS OK. I THEN CALLED 911 TO HAVE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. I HAVE 2 CONCERNS. MY CAR WAS JUST 16 MONTHS OLD WHEN IT HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON BEFORE IT HAPPENED AND WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE SERVICE SCHEDULE. HOW CAN SOMETHING LIKE THIS CAN HAPPEN TO A RELATIVELY NEW CAR AND PERFECT SERVICE RECORD. THE OTHER CONCERN IS WHEN THE CAR WAS ON FIRE, BOTH THE FOOT BREAK AND PARKING BREAK COULD NOT STOPPED THE CAR FROM MOVING. HAS THIS HAPPENED IN A UPHILL OR DOWN HILL SLOP, I WOULD BE AT GREAT RISK.

ENGINE
DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, 65 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. SUDDENLY, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND VEHICLE ABRUPTLY AND QUICKLY DECELERATED FROM 65 TO 20 MPH, FORCING ME TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, I RE-STARTED THE CAR A FEW MINUTES LATER AND DROVE TO THE NEXT EXIT A COUPLE MILES AHEAD AT A REDUCE SPEED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE. THE HONDA DEALER IN ORCHARD PARK, NY ,WHERE THE CAR WAS TOWED, TOLD ME THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS EXTREMELY HIGH, AND CHANGED MY OIL TO BRING IT TO A NORMAL OIL LEVEL. THE DEALER FURTHER TOLD ME THAT THE BECAUSE I DRIVE SHORT TRIPS AND THE WEATHER HAS BEEN COLD THAT IS WHY GASOLINE IS GOING INTO THE OIL AND GIVING ME ENGINE TROUBLE ON MY NEW CAR. MY HONDA DEALER IN ROCHESTER, NY CONFIRMED THE SAME AND SAID TO DRIVE MY CAR A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME TO HELP AVOID THIS ISSUE. MY DRIVING HABITS AS A STUDENT LIVING ON A SMALL CAMPUS, IN A COLD AREA, ARE THAT OF A FEW SHORT DRIVES A DAY TO CLASSES. I USE MY CAR PRIMARILY FOR DRIVING MYSELF HOME AND TO SCHOOL WHICH IS A 2 HOUR DRIVE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY HONDA ACCORD, AND BOTH HONDA DEALERSHIPS SAID THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HONDA CR-V & CIVIC BUT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY ISSUES WITH A HONDA ACCORD. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT MY NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD WITH 2220 MILES HAS THE SAME ISSUE, AND THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION ON THE HIGHWAY SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME AND MY FAMILY AND I AM VERY GRATEFUL I DID NOT GET HURT OR MY CAR MALFUNCTIONING DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND CAUSE INJURY TO OTHER DRIVERS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY BETWEEN 35 AND 60MPH, THIS VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY EXHIBITS A ROARING SOUND THAT CAN FOOL THE DRIVER INTO BELIEVING THAT A LARGE TRUCK HAS COME UPON THEM AND IS IMMEDIATELY TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. THIS CREATED AN UNSAFE SITUATION IN MY CASE WHEN I TOOK MY EYES OFF THE ROAD AHEAD THE FIRST SEVERAL TIMES THE NOISE OCCURRED TO VISUALLY SEARCH THE SIDES FOR A CLOSELY APPROACHING VEHICLE THAT DID NOT ACTUALLY EXIST. HONDA HAS VERIFIED THIS ROARING NOISE PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS NUMEROUS OTHER 2018 ACCORD HYBRIDS, BUT HAS FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, INFORMING ME ONLY THAT THEY ARE "SEARCHING" FOR A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I AM USED TO THE ROARING NOISE NOW, AND KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT IT, BUT IF SOMEONE ELSE DRIVES MY CAR THEY WILL MORE THAN LIKELY REACT IN AN UNSAFE MANNER EXACTLY AS I DID DURING THE FIRST FEW NOISE OCCURRENCES.

POWER TRAIN
UPON DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AT NIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE WAS RAPIDLY DEPRESSED TO AVOID ANOTHER RAPIDLY ONCOMING CAR FROM THE REAR OF MY CAR. MY CAR STUMBLED AND A BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR THEN WENT INTO AN OPERATING MODE IN WHICH ABOUT 80% OF THE CAR'S POWER WAS LOST AND COULD ONLY BE DRIVEN VERY SLOWLY. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN 5 MILES TO MY HOUSE. AT HOME THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR THEN PERFORMED NORMALLY. A SIMILAR INCIDENT PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THIS INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NO FAULT CODES REPORTED FROM THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. AS A RESULT, THE DEALER DID NOTHING. THIS IS SURPRISING SINCE THIS WAS A MAJOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY ANOMALY FOR THIS CAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, NO ACTION OR COMMENT FROM THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.
