SUSPENSION
THE FIRST TIME I DROVE MY CAR IN THE FREEWAY, AFTER SPEED UP TO 50 OR 55 THE CAR STARTED TO SHIFT TO THE LEFT SIDE STRONGLY MANDATING ME TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT SIDE TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE, SO I HAD TO KEEP TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2014 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD AS THE CONSUMER WAS TRYING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL, AND TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN, EVEN THOUGH HER FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, AS SHE PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE. THE VEHICLE CAREENED AT A HIGH SPEED AROUND THE PARKING LOT, JUMPED SEVERAL CURBS, AND SIDE SWIPED THREE OTHER CARS, BEFORE COMING TO A STOP WHEN THREE TIRES BLEW OUT AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL TURNED PERPENDICULAR TO DIRECTION OF MOTION. THE AXLE BROKE, SO THE VEHICLE ENDED UP TRAVELING ON THE RIM SIDES WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING. *JB

VISIBILITY
IT WAS A COLD DAY WITH WIND CHILLED DOWN TO SINGLE DIGITS. I TOOK SOMETHING OUT FROM THE TRUNK, GOT INTO MY CAR AND CLOSED THE DOOR. THEN I NOTICE THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW GLASS HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO TINY PIECES. THE WHOLE GLASS WAS GONE, WITH HALF LANDED INSIDE THE CAR AND HALF OUTSIDE. THE CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME AND THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND AND NOTHING THAT I KNOW OF HAD HIT THE CAR DOOR WINDOW. THE GLASS JUST SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX FROM THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS, I'VE EXPERIENCED MODERATE TO SEVERE PAIN IN MY NECK, UPPER BACK AREA AND SHOULDERS. I'VE FELT DISCOMFORT EVEN ON MY DAILY WORK COMMUTE OF 15 MINUTES ONE WAY. THE PAIN IS MORE SEVERE AFTER DRIVING FOR 40 MIN. I SEE MY CHIROPRACTOR MORE OFTEN NOW. I NOTICED THE HEADREST IS CURVED FORWARD AT AN EXTREME ANGLE, PUSHING MY HEAD FORWARD, PUTTING STRESS ON MY NECK. MY UPPER BACK AND SHOULDERS FEELS STRAINED - REGARDLESS OF THE HEIGHT OF THE HEADREST. THE HEADREST WAS THE CAUSE OF MY PAIN. I AM 4'11 AND SIT UP STRAIGHT. I'VE TRIED MULTIPLE SEAT ADJUSTMENT AND BOUGHT NECK SUPPORTS BUT NOTHING HAS HELPED. I RESORTED TO PUTTING MY HEADREST BACKWARDS TO PROVIDE RELIEF. I'VE MENTIONED THIS TO A SALESPERSON AND THE PARTS DEPT. AT THE DEALERSHIP. BOTH OF THEM SAID HONDA DOES NOT HAVE ANY REPLACEMENT AND THE HEADREST WAS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS. PRIOR TO THIS, I DROVE A 99 HONDA ACCORD EX AND THIS ISSUE NEVER OCCURRED. I'VE TRIED PUTTING THE HEADREST FROM MY 99 ACCORD INTO THE 2014 BUT IT WON'T FIT DUE TO DIFFERENT CENTER-TO-CENTER POST MEASUREMENTS. EVEN THE BACKSEAT HEADRESTS FROM THE 2014 WILL NOT FIT IN THE DRIVER?S SEAT. I HAD PICTURES TAKEN OF ME SITTING IN MY 99 ACCORD AND THE 2014 ACCORD. IN THE ?99 ACCORD, MY NECK, UPPER BACK AND SHOULDER REST COMFORTABLY AGAINST THE SEAT AND HEADREST. IN THE 2014, THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN MY NECK, UPPER BACK AND SHOULDER FROM THE SEAT WITH THE UPPER PORTION OF MY HEAD PUSHED FORWARD FROM THE HEADREST. PLEASE INVESTIGATE SO HONDA CAN TAKE ACTION TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT OR MAKE IT A RECALL ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED FOR HEALTH, COMFORT AND SAFETY'S SAKE! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY, UNABLE TO EXCEED APPROXIMATELY 30-40MPH ON ELECTRIC ONLY MODE. HYBRID MODE OR REGENERATIVE HYBRID MODES WERE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ENGAGE TO POWER THE VEHICLE. ELECTRIC ONLY POWER SUPPLY WAS SOON DEPLETED & THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START THE GASOLINE ENGINE AND RE-ENTER NORMAL HYBRID POWERED MODE. VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND REQUIRED A TOW. AS OF 01/09/2014 THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AWAITING REPAIR WITH NO CURRENT KNOWN DIAGNOSIS PROVIDED TO ME. THE AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS IN CONTACT WITH HONDA CORPORATE TECHNICAL ATTEMPTING TO TROUBLESHOOT AND IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER AND LOCOMOTION. *TR

GOT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER A BRIEF TEST DRIVE. AFTER THE SECOND TIME DRIVING THE CAR FOR A SHORT TRIP, I BEGAN FEELING SEVERE PAIN IN MY NECK/UPPER BACK AREA AND FELT THE SAME DISCOMFORT EVERY TIME I DROVE THE CAR THEREAFTER. THE SEAT BASE IS TOO DEEP NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT TO MY SPINE AND ALSO THE SEAT BACK IS PUSHING MY BODY FORWARD CAUSING ME TO ROUND MY NECK AND SHOULDERS FORWARD. IN ADDITION, MY HEAD CANNOT EVEN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE HEAD REST UNLESS I TILT THE HEAD BACK WHICH IS NOT A NEUTRAL POSITION. I'VE TRIED MULTIPLE ADJUSTMENTS INCLUDING BUYING EXPENSIVE SEAT SUPPORTS BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP; THE SEAT JUST SEEMS TO BE POORLY DESIGNED. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I AM WILLING TO RETURN/TRADE-IN THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER AT A LOSS BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO SACRIFICE MY HEALTH. PRIOR TO THIS, I DROVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND THIS ISSUE NEVER OCCURRED. I HOPE YOU CAN INVESTIGATE SO HONDA CAN TAKE ACTION TO RESOLVE. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE UNUSUAL EVENT OCCURS WHEN DRIVING THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD PLUG-IN AT ABOUT 45-65 MPH. NORMALLY, ACCELERATING THE CAR REQUIRES USING BOTH THE GAS ENGINE AND BATTERY (HV MODE) TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AT THIS SPEED. BUT EVERYDAY FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR'S GAS ENGINE SUDDENLY AND RANDOMLY REVS CONSISTENTLY VERY HIGH AND ALSO NOTABLY VERY LOUD. ON 11/27/13, WHILE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON THE 5 FWY, AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE OF THE UNUSUALLY HIGH REV NOISE AGAIN, THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND MOVEMENT FROM THE GAS ENGINE. IT WAS LIKELY, ONLY THE BATTERY WAS PROVIDING MOVEMENT OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE BATTERY METER HAD ONLY 1 BAR LEFT (THE CAR BATTERY METER USUALLY ALWAYS HAS AT LEAST 2 BARS DURING NORMAL OPERATION). I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE SHOULDER LANE, ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR WAS STILL NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY. AFTER ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT FINALLY STARTS TO WORK NORMALLY AGAIN. *TR

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
HEADREST IS NOT ADJUSTABLE BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS, ONLY UP AND DOWN. IT IS CURVED FORWARDS AT AN EXTREME ANGLE, AND WHEN YOU SIT IN IT, CAUSES YOU TO SIT IN A C POSITION, ALL HUNCHED OVER. AT FIRST, NOT TOO BAD. AFTER AWHILE, IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE, AND CAUSES A LOT OF NECK STRAIN, LEADING TO HEADACHES AND NECK PAIN. PLEASE FIX, HONDA! PLEASE SEND OUT REPLACEMENT HEADRESTS THAT ARE ADJUSTABLE! SIMPLE EASY, QUICK FIX, MINIMAL IMPACT. TEMPORARILY, I HAVE RESORTED TO TAKING THEM OUT, AND PUTTING THEM IN BACKWARDS, AND THEY FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!! TRUST ME, IT LOOKS AWKWARD, BUT FEELS AWESOME! *LN UPDATED 1/6/2013 *JS
