SERVICE BRAKES
My car is not even 1 year old and I have been having problems with my rear brakes. They squeak or grind when I am in reverse and with my foot on the brake pedal to back out of a parking spot or drive way etc. I have taken it to the dealership, Right Honda-Scottsdale Az, 3 different times. They said they could not reproduce the sound. The service guy on my first visit said that if it continues they should replace rear brake pads and deglaze the rotars.Never happened. Left it there overnight, at Honda Corps direction, again the same thing. I spoke with Patrick at Honda and I sent him an email with a video of the sound from outside the car as well as inside. He got back to me last week and basically said there is nothing they can do. I have taken it to a car repair place that I have been going to for 30 years and showed them the video and they said that in there opinion the pads should be changed and rotors deglazed. I explained that to Patrick from Honda and he said they would not do that since they are not sure it would work. Asked him what they would do and he attributed it to either weather etc. Told him I have had at least 10 accords and never had this problem. The car is less than a year old with just 10000 miles on it, less when I first took it there. Really not sure what the issue is but it is very concerning since it concerns my brakes.I have tried to upload the video but I cannot. You can email me and I can attach it.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The vehicle has a camera that reads speed limit signs, and reports the current speed limit in the instrument cluster. This feature does not work as expected, and the car regularly reports wildly inaccurate speeds, such as a speed limit of 10 MPH on a highway, or a speed limit of 85 MPH in the city. This happened on numerous occasions. The vehicle does not have an option to disable this feature. As a result, it is distracting for the driver, and may also cause accidents by giving false information about the road to the driver.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The rear glass shattered with temperature change and defrost use?. The car was garage kept all winter until the weekend of the issue. It was kept outside overnight on Friday and temperatures were in the 20s. I used my rear defroster for the very first time on Saturday morning and returned home Saturday. On Sunday morning, I closed the door of the car and the rear glass shattered and collapsed. It seems like they may have a batch of badly tempered glass but refuse to acknowledge it. They required me to have the car towed to the dealership. This damages any investigation value and they said it looked like a hammer smashed it in but it didn’t look like that when it was at my home. I had police come and look at it and they did not find any evidence of vandalism. The location of the damage is VERY centered and would be hard to reach and not likely the spot for someone just trying to smash the window.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The automatic breaking system has almost caused 2 accidents. As I am easing into a stop with a car in front of me, my car has applied the automatic breaking system while I am breaking. The car In front was a car length ahead of me, thus it should not have been activated because I was not in danger. This almost caused an accident because the person behind me was basically getting a break check from me. Although it is trying to prevent an accident from happening it is actually causing one. A similar incident happened when a car was turning into a side street. I was slowing down and easing into my breaks when suddenly the automatic break system was applied. Again I had a safe distance between me and the car that was turning and it made be break really hard. The car behind me had to swerve out of the way in order to avoid a crash. The automatic breaking system is ruining my break pads. I am barely at 7000 miles and my accord is starting to make noise when I apply pressure to my breaks when I am backing up.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Not sure exactly the date but it was around 2-15-22 when the incidences happened several times last month while driving eastbound on the I-10. All of a sudden my vehicle was coming to a complete stop but I didn’t allow it to so I pressed the accelerator pedal to keep moving forward. One of the first times it happened there was a vehicle behind me but not close enough to have caused an disruptions in both vehicles. The second incident occurred but with no vehicles behind on the highway. The only warning indicator popped up on my dash was a flashing “Brake” indicator with an audio chime.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Phantom Braking when using Adaptive Cruise control. The vehicle brakes unexpectedly when adaptive cruise control is enabled. Typically happens when there is no leading vehicle in my lane, but there are vehicles ahead of me in other lanes. Happens consistently, almost every time the adaptive cruise is enabled. The system also applies brakes in situations when cruise control is not enabled, and there is no leading vehicle in front of me. Issue can surprise drivers behind me and lead to a collison where I am hit from behind.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I have experienced 2-3 sec hesitation upon accelerating. This hesitation occurs occasionally usually when turning and the is stopped or moving slowly. When it has happened I have experienced threatening safety situations particularly when making turns when crossing oncoming traffic such as when making a left 90 degree turn at a stop light with oncoming traffic in the lane I am crossing or if I have to make a quick acceleration to avoid a rapidly threatening safety situation.

SERVICE BRAKES
My vehicle has less than 5,000 miles. My vehicle has been running fine for the last 5 months; however, I got back into my car and heard my rear right brake, on the passenger side, making a grinding sound. It appears that the break pad is worn out and grinding on the rotor, or the brake module is faulty and has been forcing additional pressure on the rotor to create and untimely wear. The grinding is so strong, it is making it unsafe to drive under normal conditions. No warning lamps or indicators are on. Warranty inspection is scheduled. There are other reports of this issues with other owners. The vehicle has not been in an accident, modified, or driven in any manner other than normal driving. Additionally, when it is raining, the auto brake feature may turn on and slow the vehicle quickly when it is not necessary.

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
My tires were purchased new on 11/6/21 from Les Scab in Portland, OR. and are Continental ExtremeContact DWS06Plus, size 235/40ZR-19. A few weeks after purchase the TPMS came on so I had the tires checked at Les Schwab. I was told all the tire were low, likely due to weather. Within a couple weeks the TPMS came on again, I returned to Les Schwab on 12/18/21. I was told all the tires were a little low again but that the rear drives tire was at 19 Psi. I was told again it was likely weather but that the rear drivers tire was a little lower than the rest and if the TPMS came on again to return. On the evening of 12/23/21 the TPMS came on again. I took my car to Les Schwab again and about 11am and was told they could fill the tires, but they could try to find and fix the problem because they would close at 1pm and they did not have time but to bring it back on Monday. Despite my pleas, they refused. I tried calling the Regional Manager at his store but every time I called someone answered and either hung up or put the call on hold but did not answer. On 12/25/21 at about 6:50pm while driving about 55 mph on the I-5 freeway in Portland, OR., I was in the center lane and heard a loud pop. My stirring wheel pulled right and as I held tight, I heard another loud, dull, grinding noise from the front passenger side of the car. I slowed, turned on my hazard lights and waited for traffic to stop so I could pull to the side of the freeway. I looked and saw that the front passenger side tire tread had completely detached from the sidewall. I then called to have to car towed back to my home.

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
The contact owns a 2021 Honda Accord. The contact stated when entering their vehicle. they noticed several small dark circles forming around the front driver side window as well the front windshield which made it difficult for the contact visibility while driving the vehicle. The contact stated after a few days the dark circles would disappear however it comes back intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle and was told they believe the failure is related to the tinting on the windows that is causing the failure but was not able to provide a fixture for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Consumer stated circles appear randomly on six windows. There are wide dark slanted stripes that intermittently appear within the window. Regional Manager stated occurrences had to do with the tinting of the eight windows. Suggestions were made as to what could be done. Either, warranty ,would be extended or, darken the tint, or, replace all eight windows.
