UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Is Honda ever going to correct their air conditioning issues? This is the second vehicle from Honda that I’ve purchased brand new that has a/c issues in under a year. The first time, I just stuck it out and sweated to death in my car until my lease ended, now I can’t do that for the safety of my children while living in the Deep South. It’s incredibly dangerous for drivers to sit in a hot car- even if the windows are down.

STEERING
Vehicle (2013 Honda Accord) repeatedly drifts and pulls to the left while driving under normal conditions; regardless of my speed (10 mph-75mph). I have come close to crossing the center lane into oncoming traffic. I took my vehicle to the Honda dealership for inspection and a wheel alignment and was told I needed to replace the steering rack. The technician stated he had seen this issue before stating the wheel just spun when on the machine. Additionally, I took my vehicle to a local certified mechanic that took my vehicle for a test drive and immediately stated the issue was the steering rack.

STEERING
The first time (approximate date) you noticed this issue. The first time I noticed this problem was in December last year when I felt that the steering wheel slowly turned to the left with a little bit of Sticky, Stiff, Jerky, and then the steering wheel was adsorbed on the highway, and the resistance was great, so I needed to adjust the steering wheel back and forth, which greatly affected driving safety. This seems to be related to my personal safety. Until now, in February 2023, the problem has always existed and has not been solved. The first time (approximate date) you visited the dealer for this concern. I visited the dealer on February 8, 2023, but the answer they gave was normal and no problem. The last time (approximate date) you visited the dealer for this concern. The last time I visited the dealer was on the morning of February 11, 2023. I used to pick up my car. My car was parked at the dealer on February 8, but the problem was not solved. I still need to use the vehicle. I can't work without the car. I delayed my work, so I went to pick up my car on the morning of February 11. How often does this issue happen within a time frame (e.g.once a month)? This problem happens every day, and there will always be problems with the steering wheel as long as I start driving. I am now afraid of driving this problematic car. It does not give me safety. The car I bought last June has such a serious problem in the past seven months. Where is the reliability of Honda vehicles? Can I still trust the safe and reliable driving quality that Honda brings me? The name & title of the person (s) assisting you at the dealer. The reason/explanation provided by the dealer, as to what caused this issue. The dealer told me that there was no problem and could not be copied, indicating that the steering system was normal and no problem was found. But I asked the service manager Post my video about the problem of turning the steering wheel Sticky, Stiff, Jerky https://www.youtube.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While I was driving down Highway 101 near Mountain View near the Shoreline off-ramp, the vehicle's CBMS activated at highway speed even though there was no car in front of me. The weather was cloudy but visibility was good. The vehicle displayed "BRAKE" together with a warning sound, and the car suddenly decelerated. Luckily there was no car behind me, since the sudden braking could have easily caused an accident. I can confirm that this is repeatable -- on three occasions, the CBMS engaged at the exact same place where there was some surface imperfection in the road (due to recent asphalt patching). I had to step on the accelerator immediately to ensure the car behind me didn't rear end my car. I've read reports about the Honda Accord 2018 having this potential defect and wanted to make sure this report is filed, especially because it is repeatable. For now I've had to disable the vehicle CBMS to prevent an accident from occurring.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The Honda is equipped with a Collision Mitigation Braking System. Traveling at around 40 mph on a two lane road, one lane in each opposite direction, the orange brake warning light appeared on the dash. Simultaneously, the brakes were very forcefully applied as if there was going to be an unavoidable collision. There was nothing in front of the vehicle. I called the dealer where we purchased the Honda. The service rep said he had heard of other similar instances, asked what kind of road it was and said to see if it happened again on the same road. He knew of no known fix for the issue. My wife, who was in the back seat, and recently had 3 sections of her neck fused, is currently in a lot of pain. If the road had been a little slippery, all four in the car could have been seriously injured or worse. If there had been a vehicle close behind us, there is a good chance we would have been rear ended.

STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My automatic braking system is activating sporadically with no apparent object in front of me. My car has suddenly come to a complete stop while driving on Market Street, York PA when there was no traffic in front or to the side of me and luckily no one behind me. The "BRAKE" alert flashed and the car literally screeched to a stop. This happened again when I was in Stewartstown, PA and was starting to go over railroad tracks, it suddenly stopped. Again, no one was in front of me or behind me. I routinely drive I-83 from York to Harrisburg 3 days a week to go to work. If this would happen to me on I-83, this would cause a serious accident. I contacted Apple Honda and was told the system is just really "touchy" and there is no fix. The person I spoke with said a leaf blowing across the road could trigger the system. I have to deactivate the anti-collision feature whenever I drive. This is a serious issue that has been around for several years according to researching the issue and Honda refuses to fix this.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I got off of work early in the morning I get in my 04 Honda Accord and start driving home which only takes about 10minutes, I'm super tired so I go inside and go to sleep rougly around 2 hours, I wake up suddenly to my car alarm going off which I always keep my vehicle locked when Its not visible from me, Anyways I grab my key and click the unlock and lock button but I still hear the alarm going off so I head outside of my home and I see my cars interior on fire and my neighbors already on the phone with 911as he was sitting outside 20 minutes prior, me running frantic back inside for a fire extinguisher first responders we're already there so I run back out the doors are still locked so the first responder climbs on top of my car and kicked the sunroof in and starts using his fire extinguisher which at this point the fire is practically in his face he had to get checked out after incident, there was a police report stating it was a open investigation that they aren't ruling anything out but the thing is the doors and windows were all locked. They did a full scan of the car and the fire started somewhere around drivers side stating it was drivers seat steering wheel/collum and or pedals there was no issues with my car I had it fully inspected/maintenance every 3 months checking levels/gage's every other week I had no warning lights on the dash when I parked to go inside. Also in the police report everything was so melted that they couldn't figure out the cause just a idea of where it started, but I have read about other people that have had this same issue with the same circumstances stating that it's the power steering hoses that can deteriorate prematurely, causing cracks and leaks. I hope that this doesn't happen to anyone else, I loved my car and unfortunately I had liability and my girlfriend and Dad had passed away withing a 5 month gap of this incident so I was extremely devastated from losing my car and didn't know what to do hopefully this helps someone.

Audio main head unit (Honda p/n 39171-T2F-A71) produces loud static from radio speakers. The noise becomes extremely loud. The loud static continues even if the audio system power is turned off. The noise is so loud it is disorienting. The only way to stop the noise is to pull off the road and turn off the engine. The loudness of the static puts the safety of the driver at risk. The problem is intermittent and cannot be reproduced on demand. I provided the Honda dealer with an audio/video tape of the problem. This tape was used by the service department to diagnose the problem. I paid $170 for the diagnostic test. Vehicle was inspected by the Honda dealer. Honda dealer advises the part is on backorder. Tentative availability is April 10, 2023. Vehicle was inspected by two independent auto stereo businesses. They were unable to repair because OEM wire harness is needed. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to audio main malfunction. The problem first appeared in November 2022. The car is not driveable when the static occurs. Since I cannot drive the car with the loud static, I paid the Honda dealer $85 to disconnect the audio main head unit. There is no static, but there is no radio, backup camera, bluetooth functions, etc. The problem was reported to American Honda Motor Customer Care on February 17, 2023. Assigned Case No. 13663941. Requested ETA of backorderd audio main head unit. Advised that this problem was a SAFETY issue. I received a call from American Honda Motor Customer Care on February 20,2023. They have documented the problem and closed the case.
