ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FRONT RIGHT DRL, PART OF THE RUNNING LIGHT BURNED OUT, TO REPLACE THE RUNNING LIGHT YOU MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WHICH CAN BE UP TO $1500 OR MORE. MOST PEOPLE THAT PURCHASE A HONDA ACCORD CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT BURNS OUT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER LIGHT FOR $1500. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, HONDA MOTOR CO. NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS MISTAKE FOR FREE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
VEHICLE MAKES A MILD TO MODERATE NOISE FROM THE FRONT WHEEL WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED. THE NOISE CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS SOMETHING RUBBING TOGETHER. IT SHOULD LIKE METAL ON METAL. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TWO WEEKS AGO. I TOOK IT TO HONDA. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE REAR PADS AND ROTORS. I STILL HEAR IT AND AFTER A GOOGLE SEARCH I NOTICED HUNDREDS MORE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT 2016-17 MODELS ARE AFFECTED WITH NO FIXES OR ACKNOWLEDGE BY HONDA. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THANK YOU

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS LED BOTH PARTIALLY BURNT AND ONLY HALF OF THE LED LIGHT COME ON. THIS HAPPEN THIS WEEKEND 7/24/2020 AND 7/25/2020. PER SERVICE BULLETIN 19-042 DATED 4/16/2019 FROM HONDA ON NHTSA WEBSITE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2016 HONDA ACCORDS. HOWEVER THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY MY 2016 MODEL PER VIN. I NEED HELP AS DEALER CANNOT ASSIST. THERE'S LOTS OF INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT THIS RECALL. TOTALLY REFLECTS THE SITUATION WE ARE HAVING AND AGAIN EVEN THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS MY VEHICLE BUT WHY ARE SOME CARS EXCLUDED? IT JUST DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER I DID SOME RESEARCH I BELIEVE THE FUEL PUMP OF THIS VEHICLE CONSTANTLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE TAKES MUCH LONGER TO START UP, SOMETIMES IT TAKE COUPLE OF TRY TO GET IT STARTED, AND, IT ALSO CAUSED ENGINE TO STALL AND LOSE POWER DURING THE DRIVE OR BACKING UP.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STARTED STALLING A JERKED FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION I PULLED OVER TO A SAFE AREA AND CALLED MY FAMILY MEMBER HE HAD TO DRIVE IT TO ADVANCE AUTO AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. I CALLED HONDA AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND GOT THE CAR TOWED TO HONDA WHERE IT WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED AS A FUEL PUMP TO BE REPLACED PER THEM MY CAR HAD NO OTHER ISSUES AS I ALWAYS KEEP UP THE MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR AS I'M STILL PAYING FOR IT. THE ONLY COMPANY THAT HAS THIS PART WAS HONDA SO THEY ORDERED THE PART AND ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE IT. ONCE I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL AND STALLING TO CRANK. I CALLED THEM AND HAD IT TOWED BACK AND THEY SAID IT WAS A GAS LEAK THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SYSTEM THEY JUST PUT IN. ONCE I RECEIVED THE CALL BACK I NOTICED THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME THE SCENT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY STRONG CAUSING HEADACHES TO MYSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE GAS POURING OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR AFTER I HAD JUST FILLED UP THE TANK. I TOLD HONDA THE FIRST TIME MY CONCERNS ABOUT IT BEING FIXED PROPERLY AS I HAVE A GAS WATER HEATER IN MY GARAGE WHERE THE CAR IS KEPT THEY ENSURED ME IT WAS FINE . I STILL HAD RESERVATIONS ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR BEING STRANDED OR IT CATCHING ON FIRE WHEN I RECEIVED IT BACK THE THIRD TIME . I WAS RIGHT BECAUSE WHEN I RECEIVED IT BACK NOT EVEN TWO DAYS LATER THE SMELL PERMEATED MY HOUSE AND GARAGE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO CALL THEM AND GET IT TOWED AGAIN. THIS WILL NOW BE THEIR FOURTH ATTEMPT IN FIXING MY CAR. ALL THREE TIMES THEY HAVE GIVEN MY CAR BACK I WAS SO AFRAID OF DRIVING IT I ONLY MOVED THE CAR TO GO TO WORK AND BACK HOME. ACCORDING TO THEM THEY DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TOOL TO APPLY THE FUEL PUMP IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE LEAK. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO AMERICAN HONDA THROUGH EMAIL AND CALLS WITH NO RESPONSE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I PUSH THE PUSH BUTTON STARTER IT MAKES A HIGH PITCH NOISE AND DOESN'T START. WHEN I PUSH IT THE SECOND TIME IT STARTS. OCCASIONALLY, AFTER F I DRIVE THE CAR, CUT IT OFF AND THEN TRY TO START IT, IT WON'T START. I WAIT A SECOND OR TWO THEN TRY AND IT STARTS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN OCTOBER 2019. NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY, AT LEAST THREE - FOUR TIMES A WEEK DEPENDING ON HOW OFTEN I DRIVE THE CAR. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS APRIL 3, 2020. AS A RESULT OF (COVID-19), I AM NOT DRIVING IT EVERY DAY. THE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ISSUE STARTED WHEN I WAS BARELY OVER 42,000 MILES, MAYBE 7 MONTHS AGO IN OCTOBER OF 2019. THE CAR WOULD STALL AFTER IT WAS PARKED FOR A LITTLE OVER 5 MINUTES. I REPLACED THE BATTERY ON IT AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS. THEN, IT STALLED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND A DEFECT ON THE CAR. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT RUN A DIAGNOSTICS THROUGH A THIRD PARTY AFTER TWO DAYS AGO, IT STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING HOME. THE DIAGNOSTICS SAID MY CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. WHAT IS REALLY IRRESPONSIBLE ON HONDA'S PART IS THE FACT THAT I TAKE IT EVERY TIME AND I HAVE ASKED THEM TO RUN THIS DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO.

THE REAR CAMERA STARTED OFF BY BEING FUZZY TWO DAYS AGO; NOW, THE CAMERA IS BLACK. I NOTED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2018 SEDANS, BUT THE 2016 CARS NEED TO BE CHECKED AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE GRID LINES ARE AVAILABLE BUT WITH NO IMAGE OF THE AREA. THE CAMERA IS CLEAN, SO IT IS NOT ABOUT DIRT.

MY BACKUP CAMERA HAS STARTED TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THE NEWER MODELS ARE DOING AND NOT WORKING WHEN I PUT IT INTO REVERSE. IM NOW LOOKING INTO IF IT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT WHICH I DOUBT BECAUSE IT IS NOW OVER 4 YEARS OLD. THE ONLY THING MY BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAYS IS THE GREEN LINES BUT NO PICTURE. I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE HELP FROM HONDA AS IT ONLY HAS 37000 MILES ON IT

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
LAST NIGHT MY DASHBOARD LOST ELECTRICITY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND MY ENGINE STALLED. I LOST POWER STEERING CONTROL. AFTER 2 SECONDS, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE DASHBOARD RETURNED TO NORMAL, AS DID THE POWER STEERING AND ENGINE, AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS MORNING, I DROVE ON A STREET & SMOKE ENTERED THE CABIN AREA OF THE CAR & I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. OPENED THE HOOD AND THE BATTERY (POSITIVE TERMINAL) WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. A GENTLEMAN PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH WATER FROM THE GAS STATION. MY BATTERY IS 1/4 MELTED, DUE TO THE FIRE. OTHER PLASTIC PARTS OF THE ENGINE ARE ALSO SLIGHTLY MELTED. I CALLED GARDENA HONDA (IN LOS ANGELES CA) AND THEY TOLD ME MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD WAS NOT PART OF THE BATTERY SENSOR RECALL BUT THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD SEEN MY EMAIL AND FORWARDED IT TO HER SUPERVISOR, AND THAT SHE WOULD SPEAK TO HIM TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO. SHE TOLD ME THAT HER SUPERVISOR SAID TO IMMEDIATELY BRING IT INTO THE GARDENA, CA HONDA DEALERSHIP. UPON ARRIVAL THE SERVICE PEOPLE TOLD ME THEY WOULD DEFINITELY BE CHARGING ME AT LEAST $160 FOR A DIAGNOSIS. I THEN EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I WAS MISLED, AS WHEN I INITIALLY CALLED I WAS TOLD THAT SHE WOULD CHECK TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO AND THAT SHE WOULD CALL ME BACK. AT NO TIME DID SHE SAY I WOULD BE CHARGED FOR ANYTHING. INSTEAD, SHE MISLEAD ME BY SAYING SHE HAD SPOKEN TO HER SUPERVISOR AND THAT HE SAID TO BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY. THEY MISLEAD ME, WASTED MY TIME, AND ARE PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER AS ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE (2016 HONDA ACCORD WITH VIN IS APPARENTLY NOT PART OF THE RECALL, MY CAR'S BATTERY CAUGHT FIRE AND I AM SURE OTHER PEOPLE'S CAR'S WILL ALSO CATCH FIRE. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED BEYOND THE CURRENT LIST. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED A METAL PIECE INTENDED TO HOLD THE BATTERY IN PLACE LOOSENED AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE POSITIVE TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY CAUSING THE FAILURE.*JS
