BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
ALL dashboard warning lights come on and after doing a Google search, it appears to be a COMMON ISSUE for Honda Accords for 2018 and newer. They will come on and either stay on for days/weeks at a time and then just go off on their own. Every time I schedule to have it serviced and run a diagnostic test, by the time I get to the service center, the lights have gone off and they are unable to run a diagnostic without the warning lights being on. Only was able to get a diagnostic once as Honda doesn't run diagnostics on weekends and I work during the week. The warnings that show up in my HondaLink are: *Engine System Problem *Electric Power Steering Problem *CMBS Problem *Adaptive Cruise Control Problem *CMBS Problem My car is regularly service at the Honda dealership and currently has less than 48,000 miles. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON RANDOMLY How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? IT SAYS VEHICLE MAY ROLL UPON BRAKE RELEASE, COLLICION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM - REDUCED TRACTION AND HANDLING, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND ALL SAY "SEE YOUR DEALER" Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? YES, BUT THEY HAD NO REAL SOLUTION (Not the location where I purchased my vehicle - only offered to do what wasn't covered under my warranty so that the "tech can get paid" (NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO TO STONECREST HONDA IN LITHONIA, GA) Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? INSPECTED/DIAGNOSTIC RAN AT AUTOZONE Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? NO WARNINGS - JUST ALL LIGHTS COME ON

This car has randomly slammed on the breaks too many times to count and has been reported far too many times. Today while in the left lane on 95 southbound this car randomly slammed on the breaks so violently the speed was reduced 20 mph with seconds. This is incredibly dangerous, HOW LONG WILL YOU ALL THIS

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Travelling at approximately 47 mph, with nothing in front of me, the car's emergency braking system engaged completely unexpectedly, slamming my car to a stop. This caused a pick-up truck, to hit me from behind. The emergency brake light appeared at the exact same time as the car's emergency brakes applied. The driver of the other car confirmed there was nothing in front of me. The Honda dealer where I brought the car the next day stated there was nothing wrong with the camera or radar system. This failure caused an accident, and could have been much worse.

STEERING
When at low speeds especially when pulling into parking spot with wheel turned, wheel seems to stick, heat turns off and once parked, power steering makes squeaking noise. Has occurred multiple times. Realize there is already an investigation into this. Unsure what issue may be. Will likely take to Honda to ensure safe operation of vehicle.

ENGINE
Ever since I bought the vehicle, there are times when I cold start that the vehicle moves slowly. And pressing the gas moves the car at 1/10th the power that I am used to. Not every time, but particularly pronounced when cold. Once it warms up and this low power goes away.

SERVICE BRAKES
My 2018 Accord had 22628 miles on it. I brought in for an oil change and tire rotation at my local dealer, Klein Honda in Everett Washington on 12/28/22. They performed the service and they gave the car an inspection. It said that the brake pads on all four wheels were at 8mm. which would be normal at 22628 miles. Two weeks later I started hearing a crunching noise when I would come to a stop. I made an appointment for a few days later 01/26/2023. I brought my car to the same dealer and they told me I needed a rear brake job, both pads and rotors. They said the pads were at 3mm on the left rear and 1mm and metal to metal on the right rear. $600 dollars, plus tax. I don't understand how pads can go from 8mm to 3mm in three weeks. I had only driven 259 miles between appointments. No warning lights came on and the only indication was the noise. The dealer said all the breaking systems were fine and workinkg properly after they did the brake job. There is no way that could have happened in 259 miles. Even if the first inspection was a mistake or the tech was taking short cuts, the fact that it wore out rear brakes at under 23000 miles should make a recall. Honda had a similar problem in 2010 and had a recall.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Road departure mitigation system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, lane keep assist problem, collision mitigation system problem - lights all started to turn on in 2017 Honda Accord Touring. Took the car to the dealer. Was told that the entire SRS system has failed. The car was bought in 2017 brand new from the dealer and has never been in a car accident. Unclear why a five year old car is already having electrical system failure. Car won’t pass inspection and this is a $1000 repair.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
On 4 separate occasions, the first on December 22, 2022, my Accord began losing power and acceleration while driving on the highway. The engine light began flashing but never came on steadily, and no message displayed. On a couple of occasions it was raining a bit, and at other times the weather was dry. Each time, I pulled the car over to the side of the road; before turning off the engine, I noticed the engine was loud and the car was shaking a bit. After a minute, I turned the car on and it operated normally, with no flashing engine light. I brought the car to a local Honda dealership after the first incident, but they were unable to locate any codes to make a repair. I am reluctant to use the car in any congested highway area such as New York or Boston (both I visit regularly to see family) because of losing power on a busy highway, so it is a safety issue that affects the use of my car, which is less than two years old with approximately 33,000 miles of use. After 3 more incidents, I brought the car back to the dealership today (and it happened on the way to the dealership, as well). I told the dealer that I found a reference on the internet to a Honda repair bulletin, A21-O52, that described the exact problem my car is experiencing. The dealership just told me that the repair bulletin does not apply to my car as my car is a Hybrid. They want to keep the car to keep driving it and replicate the problem.

STEERING
I was backing out of my driveway on to my street when I felt something off with the steering. The steering wheel was very very hard to turn and kept pulling to the right on its own. I managed to get the car in front my house and had the car towed to a honda repair shop. Honda diagnosed a power steering unit failure without any dtc code. I was very lucky I wasn't driving in traffic since I had no control.

ENGINE
I purchased a 2010 Honda last year. And the engine makes a loud noise. As well as burns through oil. I get an oil change. And at 80% I end up having to purchase 2 quarts and add more oil to the engine. That is not normal.
