WHILE TALKING ON THE PHONE THE DISPLAY AUTO SCREEN WENT BLANK AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT REBOOTED. ON MAY 29TH, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WHEN I GOT OFF THE PHONE THE AUDIO DISPLAY FROZE. I COULDN'T GET ON THE HOME SCREEN, CHANGE THE RADIO STATION. THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT TURNED OFF AND REBOOTED ITSELF. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY TO REPORT THE ISSUE. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN DEC 2017AND THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I DON'T KNOW IF MY PREVIOUS REPORT WENT THROUGH, SO THIS IS A SECOND ATTEMPT! WITHIN A WEEK OF GETTING THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE WE NOTICED A SEVERE WINDSHIELD PROBLEM! WHEN WE TURNED INTO THE SETTING SUN, THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD LOOKED LIKE SHATTERED GLASS! IT SEVERELY HAMPERED VISION TO THAT SIDE. WHEN WE TURNED THE OTHER DIRECTION, IT LOOKED NORMAL! IT HAPPENED AGAIN, UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY. THE HEAD OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN 30 + YEARS! HE COULD SEE THE PROBLEM WITH A FLASHLIGHT! HE SAID WE NEED A NEW WINDSHIELD, THAT THE ORIGINAL ONE IS DEFECTIVE . I WILL ENCLOSE PHOTOS.

STRUCTURE:BODY
AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED, THE FRONT HOOD VIBRATES SIGNIFICANTLY. NOT ONLY IS THIS ANNOYING BUT IT IS ALSO FRIGHTENING. I THOUGHT THAT HOOD WAS ABOUT TO FLY OFF THE VEHICLE WHEN I WAS TRAVELING OUT OF STATE. I EVEN CONTACTED HONDA DEALERS WHERE I WAS TO SEE IF I COULD GET SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THIS ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TOOK BACK TO MY DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY REARRANGED A SEAL BUT ALSO THAT IS WHAT 2018 HONDA ACCORDS DO...THEY VIBRATE. BASICALLY, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE REMAINS.

THE TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION DOESN'T ALWAYS DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED. IT HAS DISPLAYED 100MPH IN A 65 ON I-40 GOING FROM NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR. WEST. I DO HAVE A PIC OF IT. DIFFERENT AREAS IT WILL EITHER DISPLAY THE INCORRECT SPEED OR NOT DISPLAY IT AT ALL. MY HONDA DEALER CHECKED IT OUT, STATED IT WAS WORKING CORRECTLY. IT DOES AT TIME, AT TIMES IT DOESN'T. I HAVE TALKED WITH HONDA, THEY STATED THERE ARE VARIOUS FACTORS THAT CAN INTERFERE WITH THE CAMERA READING THE SIGNS. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS, ACCESS ROADS & THE INTERSTATE. IT'S INTERMITTENT.

SERVICE BRAKES
LOUD CLUNK IS CONSISTENTLY HEARD AND FELT EVERY TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED AFTER BEING DEPRESSED. THE NOISE IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN COLD WEATHER AND CAN BE HEARD ABOVE THE RADIO AND ROAD NOISE. THE LOUD CLUNK SOUND OCCURS WHETHER OR NOT THE CAR IS MOVING, OR THE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR THE IGNITION/ACCESSORY POWER IS TURNED ON. THE NOISE CAN BE CONSISTENTLY REPRODUCED AND EMANATES FROM THE FIREWALL AREA UNDER THE DASH WHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL LINKAGE ATTACHES TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THREE TIMES DURING THE FIRST 1500 MILES THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM HAS FAILED, DISABLING THAT FEATURE AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, DISPLAYING A LARGE DIAGNOSTIC ON THE ELECTRONIC DASHBOARD AND TELLING ME TO SEE MY DEALER. IN ALL CASES I WAS DRIVING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC ON NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FREEWAYS AT CRUISING SPEED (TWICE ON 101, ONCE ON 80). THE FIRST TWO FAILURES OCCURRED DURING DAYTIME, THE THIRD AT NIGHT. THE WEATHER IN ALL CASES WAS NORMAL (NO RAIN, SNOW, MUD, ...) .WHEN I VISITED THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST TWO OCCURRENCES (WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE CONDITION CLEARS) THE DEALER FOUND NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES OR OTHER PROBLEMS. THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED A THIRD TIME. THE DEALER AND HONDA CORPORATE SAY THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT BECAUSE OF THE ABSENCE OF DIAGNOSTIC CODES.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKING SYSTEM HESITATES AND GRABS. IT IS LIKE THERE ARE SEVERAL STAGES OR STEPS IN THE BRAKE. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP SMOOTHLY. AS YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IN, THE CAR DOESN'T SLOW NORMALLY UNTIL YOU HIT A "STEP" OR "NOTCH" AND THEN IT JUST SLOWS DOWN RAPIDLY AND YOU GO FORWARD IN YOUR SEAT. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN AS THE VEHICLE HAD AROUND 400 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM WHEN I TOOK IT OFF THE LOT THE FIRST TIME, AND OTHER NEW ACCORDS I HAVE DRIVEN DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM.

THE BRAKES ARE VERY TOUCHY. FEELS LIKE REAR BRAKE BIAS IS VERY STRONG. BRAKING SMOOTHLY IS IMPOSSIBLE. DANGEROUS ON SLICK ROADS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE TECH DROVE THE CAR AND SAID BRAKES WERE NORMAL. WE DROVE ANOTHER ACCORD AND IT ALSO HAD TOUCHY BRAKES. I HAVE NEVER DROVE A CAR WITH BRAKES THIS TOUCHY. I HAD ABOUT 200 MILES AT THE TIME. I NOW HAVE 7000 MILES AND THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY BETTER.

I AM EXPERIENCING BRAKE PEDAL ISSUES. AS I PUT PRESSURE ON TO SLOW DOWN, AT ANY SPEED, IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS "STUCK", THEN IT GRABS HARD AND LURCHES YOU FORWARD IN YOUR SEAT. AS I RELIEVE MY FOOT OFF AND PUT PRESSURE BACK ON, IT DOES THE SAME THING: THE PEDAL SEEMS TO GO DOWN IN "STAGES". I CANNOT BRAKE IN A NORMAL, SMOOTH FASHION. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM TWICE IN 2 WEEKS AND THEY HAVE STATED BOTH TIMES THAT NONE OF THEIR STAFF CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AS OF 3/7/18. THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST DOCUMENTED WITH AROUND 200 MILES ON THE CAR.

I PURCHASED BRAND NEW MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD SPORT DEC 28 2017 I HAVE 1450 MILES CURRENTLY ON THE CAR AND THE BRAKE PRESSURE HAS BEEN LOST. WHEN APPLYING BREAKS AT HIGHWAY SPEED ITS NOT AS NOTICEABLE BUT AROUND TOWN AT 45MPH WHEN APPLYING THE BREAKS THERE IS DEAD SPACE THEN FULL BRAKE KICKS IN WHICH MAKES OTHERS THINK YOU ARE BRAKE CHECKING THEM. WHEN GOING TO THE FORUMS AND TO THIS WEBSITE I SAW OTHER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURES. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ADVISED YES THE VEHICLE HAS A FAILED BRAKE BOOSTER AND IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING MY NEW CAR WITH A FAILED BOOSTER WAITING ON HONDA TO FIX IT. I HOPE THIS IS SAFE THAT THAT MY BRAND NEW CAR ISN'T BEING DAMAGED WAITING FOR THIS PART.
