UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My car started making a piercing static noise that is so loud and you can’t do anything to turn it down and it is very hard to drive and concentrate with this noise. I have seen other cars recalled for this issue but they are the larger cars. My car has the same issue but they will do nothing for me.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I have brought the vehicle to the dealer as well as several auto body specialists. The paint is bubbling and peeling on the driver's side door, around the gas cap and on the frame around the trunk. Several online reports have been posted online and several other models from Honda have had extended recalls on their paint warranty. The same extension should be applied to the Honda Accord and Honda should be responsible for taking corrective actions as further failure of the paint to adhere will cause significant body damage, especially for owners like me who live in an area who use salt to treat their roads.

STEERING
The car drifts to the left and to the right after a few seconds. It has been aligned with all 4 tires balanced and rotated twice but the car will drift within a few seconds. The dealership wants to blame road crown for this and nothing with the steering of the car.

SERVICE BRAKES
Vehicle pulls to the right randomly, sometimes hard, sometimes gently. Vehicle will also pull harder right when braking randomly. Sometimes vehicle will pull left when braking. Dealer has aligned the vehicle 3 times in a month no change. Still having same issue. Dealer tried to blame the brand new Michelin tires. I know there are steering issues with 2013-2015 Accords please consider adding 2016 Accords to this also. They also checked the brakes and suspension and say all that is good. I know I am not the only 2016 Accord owner complaining about this issue. Accord forums confirm this. Please investigate this. Thank you.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Air coming through vents is very low even if set a max air flow. I have a 2016 Honda Accord with 40,000 miles. For some time we noticed that air conditioner does not flow much air. It seems that ac blower is just too weak. My old 2003 Corolla has much more ac blower power. Something is wrong. I change the AC filter as needed and with frequency. Air is cold just not enough air coming through vents.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE PARKING IN A RESIDENTIAL PARKING LOT AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND BRAKING DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ONLY BECAUSE IT HIT ANOTHER PARKED CAR. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, BOTH A AAA REPAIR SHOP AND A HONDA DEALERSHIP EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE OWNER COMPLAINED ABOUT TWO PREVIOUS SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENTS. THE AAA SHOP DROVE THE VEHICLE, FOUND NOTHING WRONG, AND TOWED THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE FIRST SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT OCCURRED IN THE SAME RESIDENTIAL PARKING LOT AS THE THIRD SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT, BUT BRAKING STOPPED THE CAR THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT HAPPENED AT A STOPLIGHT, AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PUSH CAUSED AN UNUSUAL SURGE IN SPEED, BUT BRAKING STOPPED THE CAR. THE THIRD INCIDENT OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS NOT STOPPED BY THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES, RATHER BY CRASHING INTO ANOTHER PARKED CAR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A GRASSY MEDIAN.
