SEAT BELTS
THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT ASSEMBLY GENERATES AN INTERMITTENT RATTLING NOISE, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING OVER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS/BUMPS. THIS MAKES ME QUESTION WHETHER THE SEATBELT IS GOING TO WORK IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED AFTER TWO HOURS OF PURCHASE.

SERVICE BRAKES
I JUST FILED THIS COMPLAINT AND CHECKED THE BOX THAT I DID NOT WANT MY INFORMATION SHARED WITH THE MANUFACTURER PRIOR TO AN INVESTIGATION. I WOULD LIKE THIS INFORMATION TO BE SHARED WITH THE MANUFACTURER PRIOR TO AN INVESTIGATION. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON A SUNNY DAY WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME, AND NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55MPH, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED AND ALMOST BROUGHT THE CAR TO A FULL STOP. THE BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 SECONDS, MY FOOT REMAINED ON THE GAS BECAUSE I WAS STARTLED AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING, AND HAD NO TIME TO REACT. THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM THEN RELEASED, AND THE CAR KEPT DRIVING. *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA ABOUT THIS (CASE10206483). THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE OFTEN NOT ACTIVATED WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION WITH AN ADULT SIGNIFICANTLY WEIGHING MORE THAN 65 LBS. SITTING ON THAT SEAT, WHILE ALL CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE OWNER'S GUIDE ARE MET. AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PROBLEM, MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN MY 82 LB. WIFE HAS SAT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR WOULD AT FIRST GO OUT, AS IT SHOULD. BUT AFTER WE DRIVE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, IT GOES ON AND STAYS ON FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP, INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE OFF, THUS PUTTING HER AT RISK. MY HONDA DEALER HAS VERIFIED RELATED PROBLEMS BY TAKING MY WIFE FOR DRIVES IN MY CAR. HE GOT THE SAME PROBLEMS IN ANOTHER 2020 ACCORD LX CVT. HE HAS ALSO HAD HIS PERSONNEL SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND GOT THE SAME PROBLEMS. HE HAS GIVEN UP. THE DEALER TESTED ALL RELEVANT PARTS. THEY WORKED PERFECTLY. BUT THEN HE TESTED THE WEIGHT-SENSOR WITH MY WIFE ON THE SEAT. THE READING WAS 50 LBS. FOR AN 82 LB. WOMAN. NOTE THAT I WEIGH 132 LBS. AND HAVE NO SUCH PROBLEMS. I WONDER HOW MANY ADULTS ARE DRIVING AROUND WHILE SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT NOT REALIZING THAT THEY ARE AT RISK BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS ARE OFF. THIS MIGHT ALSO APPLY TO OTHER MAKES AND MODELS. I SUGGESTED THAT SERIOUS CONSIDERATION BE GIVEN TO LOWERING THE WEIGHT-SENSOR READING THAT COMMANDS THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS TO BE TURNED ON, SO THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE ACTIVE FOR PASSENGERS WEIGHING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN 65 LBS., LIKE MY WIFE.

POWER TRAIN
WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2020 HONDA ACCORD EX. WE HAVE DRIVEN IT ABOUT 3200 MILES IN THE 3 MONTHS WE OWNED IT. DURING THAT TIME IT HAS SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL 3 TIMES WHEN MY WIFE, WHILE DRIVING FORWARD AT NORMAL SPEEDS, LIGHTLY BRUSHED THE SHIFTER WHILE ADJUSTING A CONTROL ON THE DASH OR ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE THIRD TIME SHE ATTEMPTED TO QUICKLY SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE AND BECAUSE THE LOCK IS ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE SHIFT KNOB IT WAS DEPRESSED AND SHE WENT PAST DRIVE INTO SUPER (LOW GEAR); THE LOWER GEAR SLOWED THE CAR VERY ABRUPTLY (AND, OF COURSE DID SO WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE BRAKE LIGHTS) AND SHE WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WE ARE CONSIDERING SELLING THE VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
APPROXIMATELY RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS HARDER THAN NORMAL; WHEN I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS SEVERAL LAYERS UNTIL I PUSH IT TO THE END. IT FEELS LIKE IT DOESN'T RESPOND RIGHT AWAY. ALSO, THE BRAKE IS GIVING ME A STRONG RESPOND, SO I FEEL THE CAR IS SHAKING SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN I DO AN IMMEDIATE STOP. ALSO, WHEN I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE, THE MOTION OF THE CAR RUSH FORWARD AND SLIDE DOWN BEFORE IT RESPONDS CORRECTLY.
