I BOUGHT HONDA ACCORD SPORT. ALMOST EVERY MONTH I HAVE TO BUY A NEW TIRE. TIRE GOES FLAT AS HIT THE PATH HOLE EVEN IN SLOW MOTION. IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREAT SPECIALLY IN HIGHWAY AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IT'S HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITH ME ON HIGHWAY BUT LUCKY THERE WERE NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. ONCE IN BELT PARK WAY IN BROOKLYN, STATEN ISLAND HIGHWAY 278 AND FDR MANHATTAN, AND MANY TIMES IN STREET SPECIALLY IN RAINY DAY.

TWO DAYS AGO THE SUNROOF OPENED ON ITS OWN WHILE CAR WAS PARKED AND OFF. IT OPENED OVERNIGHT DURING A RAINSTORM. I CLOSED THE SUNROOF. I WAS PUZZLED BUT THE CAR SEEMED FINE AND DROVE FINE. TODAY THE CAR IS COMPLETELY DEAD. IT JUMP-STARTED BUT THERE NUMEROUS SYMBOLS LIT ON THE DASHBOARD SO MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO HAVE IT TOWED, IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. THE SAFETY FEATURES ON THE CAR ARE NO LONGER OPERATING (ABS, LKAS, ACC). THESE FEATURES ALL STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS TERRIFYING AND COULD BE AN ISSUE IF SOMEONE IS USED TO HAVING THESE FEATURES AVAILABLE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY DON'T WORK. IF A DRIVER IS DEPENDENT ON THESE SAFETY FEATURES AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH HAVING THEM ON, A DRIVER COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE HARM TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS IF THESE FEATURES ARE SUDDENLY NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE CAR WARRANTY. CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS UNDER 60K MILES.

WHEELS
TOOK CAR TO HONDA DEALER DUE TO A GRINDING NOISE THAT'S HEARD COMING FROM MY WHEELS WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CAR, THE HONDA TECH CONFIRMED THAT IT'S THE CONTINENTAL TIRES/HONDA SPORT MODEL 19" WHEEL COMBO THAT'S THE ISSUE. THE BEAD ON THE FACTORY TIRES USED CREATES A RUBBING SOUND THAT SOUNDS LIKE BRAKES GRINDING ON THE ROTORS. THEY SAID THEY HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SINCE THIS MODEL CAME OUT. I FIND IT RIDICULOUS THAT I WAS TOLD THIS WAS OK AND A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. MY LEASE ENDS SOON AND I WAS PLANNING ON BUYING THE CAR BUT NOW PROBABLY NOT. I'VE BEEN A HONDA DRIVER FOR OVER 25 YEARS...MAY HAVE TO MOVE OVER TO TOYOTA.

I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON MD 301 HIGHWAY IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE (4TH LANE) GOING 45MPH. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS HEADED NORTHBOUND ON MD 301 AND MADE A LEFT TURN ONTO THE SB LANES CROSSING ALL LANES. THE COLLISION OCCURRED WHEN THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO CROSS THE 4TH SB LANE (MY LANE). I HIT THE CAR WITHOUT BREAKING AS I WAS TRAVELING 45MPH. THIS WAS A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE OTHER VEHICLE HAD AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING ON A LOW SPEED, THE FRONT TIRES MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS IN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY STATED IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT DUE TO THE TIRES NOT BEING THE CORRECT VERSIONS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE ARE THE STOCK TIRES. HONDA SOLD ME A VEHICLE WITH THE INCORRECT TIRES? I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE CORRECT TIRES, AND NO TIRE WILL FIX THIS ISSUE. THE RIM AND SIZE SINCE IT IS SPECIAL 19 INCHES FOR THIS MODEL, ALL 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT HAVE THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND NO RESOLUTION TO FIX THIS. GRINDING NOISE IS LOUD ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DRIVE THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, MY HONDA ACCORD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM WILL APPLY THE BRAKES FOR NO REASON. THERE WAS NOTHING AHEAD OF ME THAT SHOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. LUCKILY, THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED WHEN SOMEONE WAS CLOSELY FOLLOWING ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2017. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MANY NEW CARS ARE NOW EQUIPPED WITH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY DRIVERS INCLUDING MYSELF, WHO HAVE STARTED OUT DRIVING AT DUSK AND NOT REALIZED THAT THEY ARE DRIVING WITH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON ONLY. THE VEHICLES TAILLIGHTS ARE NOT OPERABLE WITH ONLY THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ACTIVATED. I JUST RECENTLY APPROACHED A VEHICLE ON A POORLY LIT ROADWAY THAT DID NOT HAVE ANY TAIL LAMPS ACTIVATED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BUILT IN DANGER WITH THE NEW VEHICLES.

THERE IS A LOUD RUBBING NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE FRONT WHEELS DURING A DRIVE AT LOW SPEEDS . ALSO I CAN FEEL THE GRINDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAN HEAR THE THUMPING NOISE WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY EVEN MORE SO NOW BECAUSE I'VE NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS WEBSITE. I HAVE 12,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAVE GONE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE EVERY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICE. A DEALER SAID THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BEADING OF THE TIRE. THEY SAY NO FIX THIS TIME AND REFUSE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEELS ARE 19 " FACTORY ORIGINAL , AND TIRES ARE FACTORY ORIGINAL CONTINENTAL CONTIPROCONTACT.

REAR CAMERA HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THE DASHBOARD SCREEN SHOWS A BLACK BACKGROUND WITH HORIZONTAL 'VIBRATING ' LINES. 2018 HONDA ACCORDS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS BUT TO DATE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THE 2017 ACCORDS ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM.
