SERVICE BRAKES
My car is not even 1 year old and I have been having problems with my rear brakes. They squeak or grind when I am in reverse and with my foot on the brake pedal to back out of a parking spot or drive way etc. I have taken it to the dealership, Right Honda-Scottsdale Az, 3 different times. They said they could not reproduce the sound. The service guy on my first visit said that if it continues they should replace rear brake pads and deglaze the rotars.Never happened. Left it there overnight, at Honda Corps direction, again the same thing. I spoke with Patrick at Honda and I sent him an email with a video of the sound from outside the car as well as inside. He got back to me last week and basically said there is nothing they can do. I have taken it to a car repair place that I have been going to for 30 years and showed them the video and they said that in there opinion the pads should be changed and rotors deglazed. I explained that to Patrick from Honda and he said they would not do that since they are not sure it would work. Asked him what they would do and he attributed it to either weather etc. Told him I have had at least 10 accords and never had this problem. The car is less than a year old with just 10000 miles on it, less when I first took it there. Really not sure what the issue is but it is very concerning since it concerns my brakes.I have tried to upload the video but I cannot. You can email me and I can attach it.

STEERING
At approximately 9,000 miles I noticed a steering problem with my accord. It started very subtle over a few weeks. Driving at a speed over 50 mph, the steering wheel felt as if it was sticking when trying to turn slightly to the right or left. It became more and more noticeable to a point where I did not feel safe driving it on the interstate at high speeds. When it would stick, I had to pull the wheel harder to the right or left to release it, making me feel I would over correct and run off the road or into another car. The problem was very noticeable after about 30 minutes of driving when the car was warmed up, and at a speed greater than 50 mph. The steering was normal at low speeds during slower traffic in town. The dealership duplicated the problem and replaced the car steering rack. This corrected the problem.

SERVICE BRAKES
My brakes and rotters had to be changed three times in one year. Honda serviced my vehicle and changed my brakes and rotters at 34000 miles. I had four new tires and a wheel alignment at 36000 miles. I took my car back to Honda for service at 37000 less than I year after Honda replaced the brakes and rotters. I explained that my steering wheel shakes when I hit the brakes. I was informed that I needed brakes and rotters again. Honda refused to replace the brakes and rotters because I was beyond the warranty. I explained that it was under a year since they did the work therefore it should be covered, they refused. I paid to have brakes and rotters replaced on my vehicle in December 2021. It’s now April 2022 and my steering wheel is shaking again and I was informed that I need new breaks and rotters weeks after getting new brakes and rotters for the third time. I am a Honda fan and have drove and rooted for Honda for over 30 years. This experience has changed my perception of the reliable sedan that I once knew. The biggest issue is that Honda could care less about good customer service.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Automatic Breaking System activated upon approaching overhead signs and metal type overpasses. This caused the vehicle to reduce speed significantly on highways and toll roads. Issue not inspected or confirmed by any garage or dealer as it’s random and hard to duplicate. Brake warning and collision lights activate upon false detection. Issue has been occurring randomly since we purchased vehicle. Dealer identified no recall for system issue.

STEERING
I am experiencing electric power steering loss on my 2014 Honda Accord LX. Every time I make a sharp turn to pull into a parking space the electric power steering cuts out. And then comes back on when I stop turning the steering wheel. This happened to me about 3 or 4 times with the last incident happening to me today. Now a check engine light is illuminated. There were no lamps illuminated prior to this. When the steering cuts out I can't control the car as the steering is frozen and it is too hard to turn the steering wheel and can easily cause an accident. I am going to bring it to the dealer ASAP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When trying to start the vehicle, sometimes the starter functions and sometime it doesn't. The car key has to be pulled out and inserted again and maybe this will start the car. After researching on line, this seems to be a common problem, but a recall has not been issued for this. This problem happens even after installing a new battery. Thank you

WHEELS
The vehicle fell from jack during roadside tire change. Vehicle was lifted according to instructions in manual. Jacking equipment very lightweight. I was forced to obtain roadside assistance to compete tire change. Jacking equipment is too lightweight for the weight of the car.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The vehicle has a camera that reads speed limit signs, and reports the current speed limit in the instrument cluster. This feature does not work as expected, and the car regularly reports wildly inaccurate speeds, such as a speed limit of 10 MPH on a highway, or a speed limit of 85 MPH in the city. This happened on numerous occasions. The vehicle does not have an option to disable this feature. As a result, it is distracting for the driver, and may also cause accidents by giving false information about the road to the driver.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
All 4 of the vehicle door lock actuators have failed either intermittently or permanently. This results in the doors unlocking and potentially not relocking causing the vehicle to be unsecured. The dealer claims that my vehicle is an isolated incident and that the mileage exceeds the warranty. I maintain that all 4 of the lock actuators failing is not a chance occurrence and that faulty parts were used in the manufacturing process. The failures began happening at approximately 18 months after I purchased the vehicle in new condition.
