UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SERIOUS CRASH CONTROL PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND A CAR CUT IN FRONT OF ME. AS I WAS TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT A LARGE "BRAKE" IMAGE APPEARED ON MY SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY DISTRACTING MY EYES AWAY FROM THE ROAD. THE "SAFETY FEATURE" ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A CRASH. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO DISABLE THE COLLISION PREVENTION SYSTEM BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT. THIS "SAFETY TECHNOLOGY" ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BY DISTRACTING ME FROM THE ROAD.

WHENEVER I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND START DRIVING FORWARD A LIABILITY NOTICE COMES UP ON THE LARGE DISPLAY SCREEN ASKING ME TO READ IT AND PUSH OK - SIGNIFYING THAT I READ THE MESSAGE AND CERTIFYING THAT I WILL BE A SAFE DRIVER (WHILE DRIVING). THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DISTRACTION. I ASKED MY HONDA DEALER TO REMOVE IT AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT AS IT PROVIDED LIABILITY PROTECTION FOR HONDA. THIS "LEGAL NOTICE" CAUSES DISTRACTED DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRIORITY HONDA (621 N BATTLEFIELD BLVD, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS, CYLINDERS, COMPRESSOR, AND FUEL INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED.

SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE EXHIBITED ELECTRONIC BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE AFTER LESS THAN 100 MILES OF DRIVING. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A HARD "STEP" IN IT, AND GRABS VERY SUDDENLY ONCE THE STEP IS OVERCOME. THIS MAKES SMOOTH BRAKING, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THE SUGGESTED FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE BOOSTER (01469-TVA-A24). THE NEW BRAKE BOOSTER SHOULD RETURN THE BRAKE PEDAL TO NORMAL, AND RESTORE A SMOOTH LINEAR BRAKE. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 2018 ACCORD AS THE PART (01469-TVA-A24) IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND MY VEHICLE WILL SPEND OVER 2 WEEKS IN THE SHOP!!!

SOY WIRE HARNESSES SHOULD BE BANNED AND RECALLS INSTITUTED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY EITHER (A) REPLACING THE HARNESSES WITH STANDARD SYNTHETIC NON-EDIBLE POLYMERS AS APPROPRIATE TO THE SPECIFIC APPLICATION, OR (B) PROVIDING COATINGS THAT PROVABLY PREVENT RODENTS FROM CONSUMING THE INSULATION OVER THE LIFESPAN OF THE VEHICLE

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES GRABBING AND ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE. AT LOW SPEEDS, TOUCH BRAKES LIGHTLY AND THEY DO LITTLE TO STOP THE CAR. DEPRESS BRAKES HARDER AND THE PEDAL 'STEPS' IN AND THE BRAKES GRAB ABRUPTLY. VERY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE SMOOTHLY / NON-ABRUPTLY. AS A RESULT, AT LEAST ONE TIME ABS KICKED IN PREMATURELY WHEN ROAD SURFACE COVERED WITH SNOW. BUT CORE PROBLEM (GRABBY BRAKES) ARE IRRESPECTIVE OF ROAD SURFACE.

ENGINE, STEERING, SUSPENSION
THIS CAR HAS STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF BAD BUILD QUALITY. 1ST 2 DAYS AFTER BUYING THE CAR ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON SO I HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR A MODULE REPLACEMENT. 2ND THE CAR IS VERY LOUD ( THE ROAD NOISE AND ENGINE NOISE) WORSE NOISE I'VE EVER HEARD FROM A NEW CAR AND SOUND LIKE IT'S HAS EXHAUST LEAKS. T|E VEHICLES RIDE IS VERY HARD LIKE THE STRUTS ARE WORN OR BOTTOMING OUT AND IT'S NOT THE 17 INCH TIRES AS MY FUSION HAS 17'S. THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN ITS LANE EVEN WITH ALL OF THE LANE KEEP TECHNOLOGY I HAVE A HARD TIME STAYING STRAIGHT ESPECIALLY WHEN I HIT BUMPS THE CAR HOPS AROUND LIKE IT HAS WORN STRUTS. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR HARD ON PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP.

I PURCHASED A 2018 HONDA ACCORD TOURING IN OCTOBER 2017 AND SINCE THAT TIME MY LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS COME ON AROUND 8 TIMES. IT COMES ON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND USALLY WHEN I'M TAKING A TRIP BUT NOT ALWASYS; SOMETIMES IT IS CITY DRIVING. EACH TIME I'M TOLD TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS IT COMES ON AGAIN. I'M CURRENTLY WORKING WITH HONDA COPORATION TRYING TO GET IT RESOLVED.

SERVICE BRAKES
WITH 30 MILES ON MY NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD 1.5L TOURING THE BRAKE ALARM ACTIVATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS. IT WAS DANGEROUS AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF I COULD STOP THE CAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ELECTRIC BRAKE BOOSTER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS ON THE INTERNET REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM.

BOUGHT VEHICLE NOV 22,2017. THE FOLLOWING WEEK WHEN COMMUTING HOME FROM WORK A LIGHT CAME ON WHILE USING DRIVER ASSIST SHOWING COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THE SHOP FOREMAN SAID TO TAKE A PHOTO IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE COMMUTE HOME WHILE USING DRIVER ASSIST SHOWING THE SAME MESSAGE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THE 2ND TIME AND THEY KEPT IT A FEW DAYS SO THE FOREMAN COULD REPLICATE THE ISSUE. HE COULDN'T REPLICATE IT AND TOLD US TO TAKE IT BACK AND TAKE A PHOTO AND RECORD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HE ALSO THOUGHT OUR COMMUTER TRANSPONDER MIGHT BE INTERFERING WITH THE HONDA COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY. THE 3RD TIME ON THE COMMUTE HOME WAS A SCARY SITUATION WHEN NOT ONLY THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, THE BRAKES ENGAGED AT APPROX. 55 MPH AND WE THOUGHT SOMEONE REAR ENDED US IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY. THANKFUL NO ONE HIT US OR US HITTING THEM. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER OVER 2 WEEKS AGO AND AND THEY ARE TRYING TO REPLICATE IT ONCE AGAIN. NOW THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE FACT THE BRAKES ANGAGED ON THE FREEWAY AT 55 MPH. WE REFUSE TO DRIVE IT. THE DEALER CALLED US TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE THEY INSTALLED A RECORDING DEVICE WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO US TO SUBJECT ANYONE TO A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. WE UNDERSTAND THEY ARE TRYING TO REPLICATE IT BUT SOMEONE COULD BE HURT OR KILLED. WE ARE IN LIMBO AND ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED.
