SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
WHEN DECELERATING WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY SUDDENLY BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. ALL AT ONCE, THE CAR'S CONTROL AND STEERING COULD NOT BE EASILY MANEUVERED AND ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM (EPS) INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHED. THERE WAS NO WARNING NOR INDICATION THAT THE STEERING WAS COMPROMISED. I MANAGED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE ALLOWING IT TO COAST. THE STEERING WILL WAS STIFF AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF TURNING DID NOT NOT CONTROL THE CAR ACCURATELY. I COASTED TO A STOP IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE EPS LIGHT WAS NOT PRESENT AND THE STEERING CONTROL WAS REESTABLISHED. THINKING THIS WAS POSSIBLE DUE TO A GLITCH, I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR ABOUT TWO MILES WHEN THE SYSTEM ONCE AGAIN WENT OUT AND THE EPS LIGHT SIGNALED AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, BUT WAS ABLE TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF TO RESET THE SYSTEM. I WAS ABLE TO THEN DRIVE THE CAR HOME. THE NEXT MORNING, WHILE DRIVING TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP, THE STEERING BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AND A BASIC TURN COULD NOT BE MADE WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A LOW SPEED. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED HOURS LATER TO NOTIFY ME THAT THEY WERE ORDERING A NEW POWER STEERING RACK. WHEN I INQUIRED AS TO WHAT THE ISSUE WAS I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CODE SIMPLY RECOMMENDED THE SYSTEM TO BE RESET, BUT "THEY DID NOT FEEL SAFE" ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT REPLACING THE SYSTEM. MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ONE YEAR. IT WAS PURCHASED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH 5,000 MILES ON IT AS THE MANAGER HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR APPROX. 7 MONTHS. THE CAR HAD THE 15,000 MILE SERVICE COMPLETED JUST LAST MONTH IN ADDITION TO AN OIL CHANGE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND LOCKED. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE FOUR HOURS LATER ALL FOUR WINDOWS AND THE SUN ROOF WERE FULLY OPENED. THE KEY FOB WAS IN MY POCKET THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM AND THERE WERE NO WARNING OR FAILURE LIGHTS ACTIVATED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE CLOSE ALL WINDOWS WITH NO PROBLEM. I'VE NOT YET TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HONDA BUT I INTEND TO DO SO ASAP. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER KEEPS FALLING OUT. ALSO, EVERY TIME WHEN I USE THE WIPERS ONLY HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS CLEANED PRIOR TO THE WIPER FALLING OUT OF THE HOLDER. IF I AM IN TOWN AND NOTICE THE WIPER I WILL GET OUT AT A STOP LIGHT TO FIX IT BUT MOST OF THE TIME I AM DRIVING AT 65 OR MORE WHEN THE WIPER FALLS OUT OF THE HOLDER. THIS HAPPENS EVERY WEEK SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN CAR IS RUNNING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE AND THEN STATIONARY (OUTSIDE IN THE DRIVEWAY) WITH THE CABIN AIR ON, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS COMING INTO THE CABIN AND IS VERY NOTICEABLE. I TOOK MY BABY DAUGHTER OUT FOR A DRIVE TO GET HER TO FALL ASLEEP AND WHEN I REACHED HOME I USUALLY SIT WITH HER IN THE CAR WHILE IT RUNS, BUT THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT I HAD TO WAKE HER AND REMOVE HER FROM THE CAR. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TODAY (01/29/18) WHO NOTED NO GAS LEAKS AND STATED THAT GAS GAP WAS NOT AS TIGHT AS IT COULD BE, BUT IT SEEMS IMPROBABLE THAT IT WOULD CAUSE THAT MUCH OF A SMELL IN THE CABIN. SEEING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR HONDA CR-V AND FEEL LIKE THE DEALER COULD DO MORE EXPLORATION, BUT DIDN'T SO THEY COULD NOT DO FURTHER EXPLORATION OF THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT SMELL THE GASOLINE BUT SOMETHING ELSE AND SAID IT WAS "OFF GASSING OF THE INTERNAL ENGINE COMPARTMENT CHEMICALS". BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I COULD SMELL GASOLINE.

AIR BAGS
THEN MANUAL STATES THE AIR BAG WILL GO OFF AT UNDER 65 LBS. MY 85 LB. GRANDSON, WEIGHED JANUARY 9, 2018, MAKES THE AIR BAG GO OFF WHEN HE SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING BUT STATIONERY. THE LIGHT OFF STAYS LITE THE WHOLE TIME HE IS IN THE SEAT. I HAVE GONE ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. MY DEALER JUST TELLS ME THAT THE GRANDSON SHOULD SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. CAN THIS BE FIXED TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG FOR THE OVER 65 LB. LIMIT?

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
WE FINANCED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT CVT ON JULY 17, 2017. WE HAVE NOTICED VARIOUS ISSUES WITH THE LAG/HESITATION UPON ACCELERATING AS WELL AS BRAKING AND STEERING. WE SEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REVOLVING AROUND THIS MODEL VEHICLE. LESS THAN 11,000 MILES, WE NOTICED THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKES WERE GETTING REALLY LOW AND WEARING UNEVENLY COMPARED TO THE OTHER THREE, I.E. SCREECHING; WHICH WAS ODD AND CONCERNING SINCE IT HAD 11,000 MILES AND ONLY ONE SIDE WAS WORN DOWN. DECEMBER 2017, THE PASSENGER FRONT BRAKES BECAME SO LOW, WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THERE WAS A METAL ON METAL, GRINDING NOISE. WE VISUALLY INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND COULD SEE THE BRAKE PADS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WERE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT, AS WELL AS THE WEAR ON THE ROTORS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 12-12-17 AND THEY CLAIMED THE BRAKE PADS WERE WEARING EVENLY/NORMAL; THE OTHER SERVICE STATION AT THIS LOCATION AGREED THAT ITS NOT NORMAL FOR THE CAR THE HAVE LESS THAN 12000 MILES FOR THE FIRST BRAKE PADS TO BE CHANGED LET ALONE WORN UNEVENLY. THE CONCERN WASN'T THE BRAKE PADS BEING CHANGED, IT IS THE MECHANICAL FUNCTION OF THE PISTON AND CALIPER WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, OR ANOTHER UNDERLYING ISSUE; HAVING LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ISN'T RIGHT. THEY DIDN'T CARE, THOUGHT WE WANTED BRAKES CHANGED FOR FREE. WE FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA REGARDING THE SAFETY AND WEAR OF THE BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS,TURNED THE ROTATORS. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE AND THE PISTON GETTING "HUNG" MAY BE THE UNDERLINING REASON FOR WHY THE CAR LAGS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IF IT IS DEPRESSED, ITS POSSIBLE THE BRAKES ARE WEARING DOWN WHILE ACCELERATING. SAFETY IS OUR FIRST CONCERN, AND WE FEEL THERE IS A DEEPER PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. WILL SPEAK IN FURTHER DETAIL REGARDING THESE AND OTHER ISSUES.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL MY PASSENGER AIRBAG CONSOLE WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT STAYS ON SOMETIMES AND GOES OFF SOMETIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. THEY TELL ME THE LIGHT WASN'T ON WHEN THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND TO BRING IT BACK. I TOLD THEM TO CHECK IT OUT AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE, THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THEY HAVE MORE TIME TO CHECK IT OUT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT BACK WHEN IT CAME BACK ON, BUT IT WENT BACK OFF AGAIN! SO BASICALLY THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE LIGHT ISN'T ON! BUT WHEN I'M ON THE WAY TO DEALER IT IS ON. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS HAS BEEN GOIN ON FOR ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS NOW. I LEASED THE VEHICLE MARCH 2017

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE LEFT LANE AT A SPEED OF 60-65 MPH, ALL THE SAFETY SYSTEMS ON THE CAR REPORTED ERROR AND I LOST THE BRAKES ON THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE INTO THE RIGHT MOST LANE AND EVENTUALLY ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND COME TO A ROLLING STOP BY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR TO SEE IF THE SENSORS RESET, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I HAD TO GET TOWED HOME AND THEN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER A DAY THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED ME BACK AND SUGGESTED THAT THERE WAS SOME KIND OF A SIMULATOR ISSUE ON THE CAR AND THAT PART HAD FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WALKED AWAY FROM THIS WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, THIS HAS SURELY IMPACTED ME AND MY WIFE EMOTIONALLY. WE ARE NOT CONFIDENT WITH THE SAFETY OF THE CAR ANYMORE.
