SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE, IN MOTION, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY FOR NO REASON. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN BOTH CITY STREET & HIGHWAY DRIVING AS WELL. THE CMBS SYSTEM HAS ALSO FULLY ACTIVATED BY ITSELF A FEW TIMES, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, RESULTING IN THE BRAKES LOCKING UP COMPLETELY. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MY BEING HIT FROM BEHIND AS I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM MORE THAN ONCE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. APPARENTLY THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SYSTEM ACTIVATES I FEEL VERY UNSAFE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2017. *THE DATE SELECTED BELOW IS THE FIRST OF MANY OCCURRENCES, TO INCLUDE JUST YESTERDAY*

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, WARNINGS STARTED POPPING UP ON THE DRIVER DISPLAY LISTING NUMEROUS FAILURES AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. (THERE WERE ABOUT HALF A DOZEN ERRORS BUT I DIDN'T CATCH THEM ALL ... "ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM', 'BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM", "VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM", "COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM", "ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM", ETC. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES OVER THE NEXT 15 MINUTES AS WE TRIED TO MAKE OUR WAY HOME. LUCKILY WE WERE ON LOCAL ROADS AT LOWER SPEEDS'LESS THAN 40.THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED MY HUSBAND WAS BREAKING WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT ABOUT 5-10 MPH BUT WE BARELY STOPPED IN TIME. THERE WAS A VERY MINIMAL STOPPING POWER. WE TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED HONDA. THE REP SAID 'YES THAT WAS A RANDOM PROBLEM AND TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED.' HOWEVER IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES ON THAT OUTING. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I USE IT OFTEN TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDKIDS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN THE FIRST SEVERAL WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP, I NOTICE A SLIGHT VIBRATION INSIDE THE CAR--FLOORBOARD, STEERING WHEEL, DASH BOARD--WHEN THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS TURNED ON WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. IT WAS FAINT AT FIRST, BUT THE VIBRATION HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE VIBRATION SEEMS MORE EXAGGERATED WHEN THE BLOWER AND A/C ARE ON TOGETHER, BUT THE VIBRATION IS STILL PRESENT WITH ONLY THE BLOWER MOTOR ON WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I DON'T RECALL ANY SOUND WITH THE VIBRATION. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE VIBRATION WAS WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT. I TURNED THE BLOWER MOTOR ON FOR HEAT OR OUTSIDE AIR WHEN I NOTICED A FAINT VIBRATION AS I SAT IDLING, AT A STOP LIGHT. NOW, WHEN THE BLOWER MOTOR IS USED WITH VENTILATION, A/C, HEAT, ETC., THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR EMITS A DISTINCT VIBRATION UNTIL THE BLOWER MOTOR IS TURNED OFF. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, I HAVE TURNED THE BLOWER MOTOR ON AND THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE VIBRATION, SO THE BLOWER MOTOR VIBRATION APPEARS TO BE LINKED TO THE RUNNING ENGINE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR BRAKING SYSTEM AND ALL THE SAFETY SYSTEMS STOPPED FUNCTIONING ON MY CAR WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (GARDEN STATE PARKWAY SOUTH) THIS MORNING, 3/15/2019. MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AT ALL. WHEN IT INITIALLY STARTED TO SHOW THE ERROR MESSAGES I TRIED TO USE THE BRAKES AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR ACCELERATED. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO ALLOW MY CAR TO SLOW DOWN NATURALLY AND GET OFF AT A REST STOP (MONMOUTH REST AREA, AND FORCE PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO A STOP AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK. IT WAS REALLY A SCARY SITUATION ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY TO HAVE YOUR BRAKES NOT WORK AT ALL. I WAS ADVISED IT COULD BE A LIE BATTERY INDICATOR OF THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM THAT IS ALL CONNECTED TO EVEN THE BRAKES. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS THAT AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH OR MALFUNCTION CAN COMPLETELY DISABLE MY BRAKING SYSTEM AND ALL OTHER SAFETY FEATURES.

SERVICE BRAKES
THERE HAVE BEEN THREE INSTANCES OF TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. INITIAL INSTANCE OCCURED ON VEHICLE STARTUP, A NUMBER OF ERRORS WERE GIVEN INCLUDING "AADAPTIVE CRUISE CONRTOL PROBLEM","COLLISSION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM","ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM" AND "BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM". WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN MOVING FORWARD. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE HONDA BLAMED THE ISSUE ON THE UNDERCAOTING CAUSING COMPONENTS TO OVERHEAT. THIS WAS OCTOBER 2018 IN PHILADELPHIA. REPLACED BRAKE SYSTEM AND REMOVED UNDERCOAT ON AFFECTED AREAS. SECOND INSTANCE OCCURED IN FEBRUARY 2019 IT HAD STOPPED RAINING BUT ROAD WAS STILL WET AND HAD PUDDLES. DRIVING DOWNTOWN, AT A YELLOW LIGHT BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, I RAN THE LIGHT AND WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE. CAR WAS GIVING THE SAME SET OF ERRORS. THIS TIME RESTARTING THE CAR MADE ERRORS GO AWAY. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO DID NOTHING ELSE. THIRD INSTANCE WAS FEBRUARY 2ND, WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30-40 MPH, AGAIN EITHER AFTER RAIN HAD STOPPED OR STILL HAD A SLIGHT DRIZZLE. THIS TIME I SAW THE ERRORS WHILE DRIVING BEFORE I NEEDED TO BREAK AND RECOGNIZED THE ISSUE. MANAGED TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PULL OVER. AGAIN RESTARTING THE CAR CLEARED THE ISSUE, I HAVE NOT BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER YET.

WHEELS
THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL/TIRE HAS A GRINDING NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE BAD WHEEL BEARING. MAINLY HEARD AT LOW SPEEDS BUT IS GETTING LOUDER OVER TIME. HONDA SAYS IT IS THE CONTINENTAL TIRES. TIRE SHOP PUT DIFFERENT WHEELS AND TIRES ON THE CAR AND THE NOISE DID NOT GO AWAY. THE NOISE DOES NOT FOLLOW THE TIRES, TIRE SHOP SPIN BALANCES THE TIRES ON THE CAR. THEY SAID THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL IS MAKING A ROARING GRINDING NOISE. THIS IS WITH THE WHEEL AND TIRE OFF THE GROUND. HOW CAN TIRES MAKE A METAL GRINDING NOISE. HONDA DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY HONDA ACCORD 2017 4 CYN ALL OF DASH BOARD LIGHTS LIT UP, THE STEERING WHEEL PARTIALLY LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING GOING 55 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND COULDN'T CUT THE CAR OFF WITH MY START BUTTON. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY CUT IT CUT OFF. THEN IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. THEN AFTER ANOTHER 5 MINUTES IT STARTED AND I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP JANUARY 2019. ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS EARLIER, MY CAR WOULD START AT ALL. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY TOLD ME ONLY THING IT MIGHT BE WAS THE BATTERY, I BOUGHT A BATTERY AND MY CAR WAS ONLY 11 MONTHS OLD. RECENTLY, FEBRUARY 2019, NOW MY BATTERY IS 7 MONTHS OLD, MY CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN. THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, BUT I AM HAVING ISSUES. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I START MY CAR AND THE DASH LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON AND I HOLD THE BUTTON ON THE DASH AND THE SYSTEM REBOOT AND THE DASH LIGHT COME ON. MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW IT IS STARTING, BUT THE SAID EVERYTHING IS REGISTERING THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE AN HUGE ISSUE BECAUSE I CAN'T BE STRAINED IN THIS COLD WINTER WEATHER AND MY CAR NOT STARTING. THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE I WAS IN MOTION LESS THAN A MONTH AGO ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH AND MY CAR FROZE IN MOTION. CJB FEBRUARY 2019

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
BLIND SPOT ASSIST CAMERA IS A DISTRACTION AND FLICKERS DUE TO OTHER VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT. HUGE DISTRACTION CAN BE DANGEROUS, NOT AN EFFECTIVE SAFETY FEATURE. DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOESN'T CLOSE. EVEN AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW STARTS TO CLOSE AND HALF WAY REOPENS. ALL WINDOWS CLOSE NOTICEABLY SLOWER. DEALERSHIP CAN'T REPLICATE ISSUE SO NO REPAIR. STILL HAVE THE ISSUE, EVEN WHEN PARKED THE WINDOW DOESN'T CLOSE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL, WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP I TRIED TO ROLL UP MY WINDOW IT WENT HALF WAY UP AND THAN CAME BACK DOWN, I TRIED THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN FRONT OF 3 SERVICE MEN, THEY SAID THAT'S STRANGE I SAID I KNOW THIS JUST HAPPENED. SO OF COURSE WHEN I DROPPED OFF ME CAR THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT WOULD NOT DO THAT FOR THEM, BUT OF COURSE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF BY THAN. SO WHEN MY CAR WAS DOWN I LET THE DEALERSHIP WENT INTO THE STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT ALL MY WINDOWS WERE HALF WAY DOWN AND MY SUNROOF WAS CRACKED OPEN. I CALL MY SERVICE GUY AND EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT HAPPENED, SO THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MY CAR BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND OF COURSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR THEM..THE SERVICE MAN SAID WELL IF YOU HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON ALL YOUR WINDOWS WILL OPEN I SAID THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE I WAS IN THE STORE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THERE WAS NO WAS I COULD HAVE OPENED IT! SO NOW IT'S JUST A WAIT AND SEE TO SEE IF IT HAPPENDS A THIRD TIME!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS THE CAR WOULD NOT START WITHOUT REQUIRING A JUMP FOR THE BATTERY. THEN IT WOULD RUN, BUT ONCE THE CAR WAS OFF AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED IT WOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER JUMP. HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. (IT STARTED THERE NO PROBLEM). IT RAN FINE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, BUT CURRENTLY ITS PARKED AND WON'T START. THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT DISPLAYED WAS THE EPS WHICH TURNED OFF SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR STARTED.
