UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. 2016 HONDA ACCORD, 9200 MILES. ON 7/14/17 I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY LOCAL DRUGSTORE. I LOCATED A PARKING SPOT, AND WAS SLOWLY TURNING RIGHT TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE WHEN MY ENGINE REVVED, THE CAR ACCELERATED, UP OVER THE CONCRETE CURB, OVER BIKE RACK AND INTO THE SIDE OF THE BRICK BUILDING. BY THIS TIME, BOTH OF MY FEET WERE ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. POLICE WERE CALLED AND AN ACCIDENT REPORT WAS TAKEN. I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA AND THEY ASSIGNED ME A CASE MANAGER, WHO RETURNED MY CALL AND TOOK ALL INFORMATION. HONDA SENT A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE TO EXAMINE THE CAR AT THE BODY SHOP. AFTER THIS THE CASE MANAGER CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW HONDA FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, FOLLOWED BY A LETTER TO CONFIRM THAT. MY FOOT WAS NOT IN THE ACCELERATOR AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. I HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, ACCIDENT REPORT, REPAIR BILL, MEDICAL BILLS. I WILL PROVIDE THESE TO YOU BY MAIL OR FAX. I CANNOT SEEM TO UPLOAD ON THE MOBILE APPLICATION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM UNABLE TO START MY CAR AFTER IT SITS FOR TEN DAYS TO TWO WEEKS OR MORE. THE BATTERY GOES DEAD AND MY FAMILY AND I ARE LEFT POTENTIALLY STRANDED. MY WIFE AND I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY AND RETURN TO A CAR THAT WON'T START DUE TO A PARASITIC DRAW ON THE BATTERY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE FLYING HOME, TAKING THE BUS TO THE PARKING LOT AT THE AIRPORT AT 11:00 PM, GOING TO YOUR CAR AND FINDING A DEAD BATTERY WHICH PUTS OUR SAFETY IN PERIL. I TOOK MY CAR TO ONEIL HONDA IN OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS. THEY CHARGED THE BATTERY AND CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE. I ASKED ABOUT WHY THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NOW NORMAL WITH THE NEW HONDA ACCORDS DUE TO THE PARASITIC DRAW ON THE BATTERY WHEN THE CAR ISN'T RUNNING WHICH ULTIMATELY DRAINS THE BATTERY TO A POINT WHERE IT WON'T START. HAVING BEEN AN AUTO MECHANIC IN MY YOUNGER DAYS I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EARS. I CALLED ANOTHER HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN THE KANSAS CITY AREA AND RECEIVED THE SAME COMMENT. THEN I PHONED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN SAN ANTONIO WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND AGAIN, WAS PROVIDED THE SAME INFORMATION.... "THIS IS NOW WHAT I CAN EXPECT ON MY NEW ACCORD, IF IT SITS FOR TEN DAYS OR TWO WEEKS THEN THE BATTERY WILL DIE". THE PARASITIC DRAW ON THE BATTERY IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND I IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND I ASKED THAT YOU INTERVENE. I TRIED TO ADDRESS THIS WITH HONDA AMERICA BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL WITH THE AGENT ON THE PHONE. I EVEN ASKED HER TO PICK A DEALER IN SAN ANTONIO, ANY DEALER, GET THEIR SERVICE MANAGER ON THE PHONE WITH US AND LETS SEE IF HE / SHE GIVES US A SIMILAR RESPONSE REGARDING THE PARASITIC DRAW. SHE REFUSED. NOW I FEEL THAT I NEED YOUR HELP. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE LAST FALL AND IT HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I WILL INDICATE AN APPROXIMATE DATE OF MY INITIAL VISIT / DISCUSSION WITH THE FIRST HONDA DEALER.

IGNITION KEY HAS BEEN HARD TO INSERT AND START THE CAR SINCE WE'VE HAD IT. HAD 12K MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED. KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED EXCEPT BY A LOCKSMITH AND COULD NOT START THE CAR. IGNITION THINKS A KEY IS STILL IN IT EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN REMOVED. TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT.

STEERING
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF TROUBLE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED. CAR IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN WITHOUT THIS. SHE BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SINCE WE HAD TO GET TO AN EXIT I TOOK OVER. THE STEERING TAKES A LOT OF MUSCLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SMALL STEERING WHEEL. I AM GLAD I WAS WITH HER. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND HONDA HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS IN 2013. THEY GAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 100,000 MILES TO THESE VEHICLES. I EXPECT THE SAME WARRANTY EXTENSION. I HAVE OWNED HONDAS SINCE 1977 AND MANY I HAVE DRIVEN WELL BEYOND 190,000 MILES WITHOUT A PROBLEM LIKE THIS.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. IT TENDS TO AT TIMES TO JUST CUT OUT ACCELERATING. WHEN THAT HAPPENS I TRY TO PRESS THE PEDAL AGAIN, NADA, MILLISECONDS PASS AND THE ACCELERATOR WILL TAKE OFF AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. IT'S SCARY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO GET USED TO THE CVT. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. IT HAPPENED ONE TIME WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP. WHILE PLACING THE CAR IN GEAR, NADA.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS WHAT LOOK LIKE HARD WATER SPOTS AND IN THE SUNLIGHT YOU CANNOT HARDLY SEE OUT. THE DEALER HAS SAID THEY ACID CLEANED THIS AND SOME OF IT WAS REMOVED. NOW IT HAS RETURNED MAKING DRIVING INTO THE SUN IMPOSSIBLE. CAR IS ALWAYS IN GARAGE AND IT DOES NOT RAIN IN ALBUQUERQUE SO IT IS SOME KIND OF DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD GLASS. I WILL ASK THE IT BE REPLACED THIS TRIP TO DEALER AS ONLY 9500 MILES.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BLUETOOTH DEFECT. SINCE NEW PURCHASE IN 2016 VEHICLE BLUETOOTH IS NOT COMPATIBLE FOR I PHONE 7 MAKING THE HANDS FREE FUNCTION UN USABLE AND A VERY BAD DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING. THE DEALER REACTION TO ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM WAS "NOTHING WE CAN DO TILL HONDA UPDATES TECH KNOWLEDGE. FOR WHAT EVER REASON HONDA HAS NOT UPDATED SYSTEM TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH NEWER PHONE/S. I FEAR DO TO HONDAS SLOW OR NO RESPONSE TO ISSUE A TRAGEDY FOR SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WILL BE INEVITABLE, AND IT IS A SITUATION THAT HONDA OR NHTSA SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE AVOIDED WITH A SIMPLE UPDATE ON THE ACCORD, AND FROM WHAT I READ, OTHER MODELS. IF HONDA WON'T MAKE THIS RIGHT, HOPEFULLY THE NHTSA CAN FORCE THEM TO FIX THIS POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON IT OWN. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AS I HAD BRAKED TO TURN LEFT INTO THE SPACE. THE CAR WENT OVER THE CONCRETE PARKING BLOCK AND HIT THE CONCRETE WALL WHICH IS ABOUT 1-2 FEET BEHIND THE BLOCK, THE IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY BUT THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. I PURCHASED THIS ACCORD USED, IN AUGUST, 2016, FROM A LOCAL HONDA/ACURA DEALER & IT HAD APPROX. 9200 MILES ON IT.. AT THE TIME OF THIS EVENT THERE WAS 16,552 MILES ON THE CAR. THE ONLY MAINTENANCE DONE WAS AN OIL CHANGE, AND OUTSIDE OF THE TMP LIGHT, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS HAD COME ON TO PROMPT ME FOR ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR. THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS EVENT WAS SUFFICIENT THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THE CAR TO BE A TOTAL LOSS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED 7 SUDDEN ACCELERATION SURGES DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING EVENTS IN WHICH THE VEHICLE IS BEING STOPPED. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE IS SLOWING TO A STOP WHEN IT WILL SUDDENLY, UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SURGE FORWARD AS THE ENGINE REVS. GIVEN THE REPEATED EVENTS THE OPERATOR MUST MAINTAIN VIGILANCE WHEN STOPPING AND BE PREPARED TO MAINTAIN FIRM AND INCREASED BRAKE PRESSURE WHEN THE EVENT OCCURS. THE VEHICLE WAS EVALUATED BY HONDA AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP. NO FAULTS OR PROBLEMS WERE IDENTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE DECLARED PROBLEM FREE. THE EVENTS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. THE EVENTS OCCUR IN PARKING AREAS. THE FIRST EVENT CAUGHT THE OPERATOR BY SURPRISE AND RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE SURGING FORWARD AND IMPACTING A SIGN AT A CURB IN A PARKING AREA IN FRONT OF A BUILDING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP ON MAY 11, 2017.

MY HONDA ACCORD V6 2016 , DURING RAIN TAKES IN WATER. THE VEHICLE STARTING DEVELOPING A FOUL ODOR INSIDE JUST AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND PUDDLES OF WATER UNDER THE REAR SEATS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO BABYLON HONDA IN NEW YORK WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR SEVEN DAYS SAW THE PUDDLES OF WATER, AND CONDUCTED TEST ON THE VEHICLE AND YIELDING NEGATIVE RESULTS. I WAS TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND WHERE THE VEHICLE IS I TAKING WATER FROM. IT'S BEEN A MONTH NOW AND THE VEHICLE IS STARTING TO DEVELOP THE SAME FOUL ODOR AGAIN. LET'S SEE WHAT HONDA HAS TO SAY NOW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED 2016 ACCORD TOURING IN MAY 2016. IN APRIL 2017 THE CAR WOULD NOT START - APPEARED TO BE A BATTERY ISSUE. HAD THE HONDA ROADSIDE SERVICE COME TO THE HOUSE, THEY JUMP STARTED IT, TOLD TO LET IT RUN/DRIVE IT FOR 1/2 HOUR. DID THAT. WENT SHOPPING AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN ELECTRONICS WENT CRAZY, WIPERS WENT ON THEIR OWN AND THE STOP BUTTON WOULD NOT TURN OFF THE CAR. HAD IT JUMPED AGAIN BY HONDA ROADSIDE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY - SAID IT HAD A BAD CELL IN IT, SAID THERE WERE NO TECH SVC BULLETINS ON THE CAR AND SAID THERE WERE 100'S OF GROUND WIRES IN THIS CAR THAT MAY CAUSE A PROBLEM W/BATTERY PREMATURE FAILURE.
