I PURCHASE MY HONDA ACCORD SPORT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017. TODAY OCTOBER 28TH 2017 WILL DRIVING ON MY LOCAL STREET LESS THAN 40 MILES PER HOUR I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO FIND A CRACK IN MY SIDE TIRE WALL. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 1,300 MILES ON IT THE TREAD ON THE TIRE IS FULLY INTACT. I WAS GREATLY CONCERNED AS THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED THIS YEAR BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE TIRE FOR THE TIRE TO BE CRACKED .I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE ANY SERIOUS BODILY INJURY IS CAUSED TO ANYONE . WHEN I CONTACTED MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WAS ADVISED THAT TIRES ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY WHEN PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND THEY MADE THE PRESUMPTION THAT I HIT SOMETHING OR RAN SOMETHING OVER . I ADVISED THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE THAT I DID NOT HIT OR RUN ANYTHING OVER MY RIM AND VEHICLE HAVE NO DAMAGE TO INDICATE THAT ANYTHING WAS HIT OR RUN OVER TO CAUSE THE CRACKING NOT A SLICE BUT A CRACK IN THE TIRE. TIRE INFO 235/40R 1996V DOT A318WC8T 3317

THERE IS A LOUD WIND NOISE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR. IT WAS NOTICEABLE WHEN I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY ABOVE 60 MPH. I HAD IT EVALUATED BY THE HONDA CARE CENTER AND THEY REPLACED THE WINDOW STRIP; HOWEVER, ONCE I ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH IT IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED TJAN BEFORE. I RETURNED TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT FIXABLE AS IT IS IN THE DESIGN OF THE CAR. IT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY TO ME THAT ENGINEERS WOULD ALLOW A CAR ON THE ROAD WITH KNOWN "WIND ISSUES" OR A DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS MY FOURTH HONDA ACCORD AND NEVER HAS THIS BEEN AN ISSUE.

MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD (V-6) HAD NO ELECTRICAL POWER ON 9-17-2017. THERE WERE 800+ MILES ON THE CAR. THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS DEAD; NO SIGN OF ELECTRICAL POWER AT ALL. THE CAR WAS TOWED (AT HONDA'S EXPENSE) TO A DEALER, NOT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALER "CLEARED BATTERY CODES" AND THEN COULD FIND NOTHEING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS SINCE WITH THE CAR WHICH NOW HAS 1,134 MILES ON IT

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE ON THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND SAW A LARGE HOLE ON THE SUNROOF. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LARGE ROCK AT FIRST, BUT THEN I SAW THE GLASS BY THE BROKEN EDGES PUSHED UP. IT STARTED FROM INSIDE OUT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD EXPLODED ON ITS OWN BUT I KNOW FOR SURE THERE WAS NO TRUCK SHOOTING ROCKS AT MY CAR.

NOTICED SOME RUST ON THE BUMPER THERE IS A LAYER OF PAINT AND METAL THAT SCRAPED OFF FROM ROCKS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE UNDER METAL HAS HEAVY RUST IT HAS NOT SNOWED HERE IN TEXAS SO THERE IS NO SALT ON THE ROADS. WE HAVE ONLY HAD RAIN. I'M AFRAID THERE MAYBE OTHER PARTS OF THIS NEW VEHICLE THAT ARE GOING TO RUST LIKE THIS OVER TIME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
RODENT'S CHEWED A HOLE IN THE EVAP LINE COMING OFF THE FUEL TANK. 2552 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CORRUGATED EVAP LINE HAS A SOY BASED COATING. BECAUSE THIS LINE IS BUILT INTO THE FUEL TANK THE WHOLE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATED COST IS $1552, NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY. VERY WORRIED A SIMILAR PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART AND I'LL BE LOOKING AT MULTIPLE REPLACEMENTS. ASKING THE REPAIR SHOP TO TREAT THE NEW PART WITH HONDA'S RODENT DETERRENT TAPE PART # 4019-2317, BEFORE REINSTALLING.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON THE NIGHT ON JULY 3, 2017 THE 2017 HONDA ACCORD WHICH WAS ONLY 5 WEEKS OLD WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOUSE. THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND THE MOTOR WAS TURNED OFF. YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY UNLESS THE CAR WAS IN PARK. THE CAR THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HONDA ACCORD WENT TO BACK OUT WITHOUT REALIZING A CAR WAS BEHIND IT. THE OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED WAS A KIA OPTIMA. THE KIA OPTIMA LIGHTLY BUMPED THE HONDA ACCORD AND STOPPED AS SOON AS IT REALIZED THE HONDA WAS BEHIND IT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE HONDA ACCORD OR TO THE BACK OF THE KIA OPTIMA. THE HONDA ACCORD WAS PARKED ON A FLAT SURFACE AT THE TIME. WHEN THE KIA HIT THE HONDA THE HONDA ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND HIT A LIGHT POLE. THE ENTIRE LIGHT POLE CRASHED DOWN AND BROKE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL I SAW MY NEIGHBOR'S VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE INCIDENT. WE CONTACTED HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND OF COURSE AT FIRST THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL THEY SAW THE VIDEO. AFTER A FEW DAYS HONDA GOT CORPORATE TECH SUPPORT INVOLVED AND WAS TOLD NOT TO RELEASE THE CAR BACK TO ME UNTIL THEY FOUND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK HONDA TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT AS A "PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE" THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY DID REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BUT SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE BACK OF THE HONDA OR THE LIGHT POLE. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND THE LIGHT POLE. A CAR THAT IS LIGHTLY BUMPED SHOULD NOT ROLL AWAY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE HAD A CHILD BEEN BEHIND THE CAR OR THE LIGHT POLE COULD HAVE CRASHED ONTO SOMETHING. I FEEL LIKE THEY FOUND SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND ARE COVERING UP FOR IT OTHERWISE IF THEY TRULY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION THEN WHY DID THEY REPLACE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SEAT BELTS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. THE STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT PROPERLY, CAUSING THE SEAT BELT TO STAY ACROSS THE PASSENGER'S NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAWOOD HONDA (LOCATED AT 2516 PINE GROVE AVE, PORT HURON, MI 48060) WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO KEEP THE SEAT BELT FROM RETRACTING IMPROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND WOULD TRANSFER THE COMPLAINT TO THE ENGINEERS. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

IN JAN OF THIS YEAR, I GOT A FLAT TIRE WHICH COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. IT WAS ON A WEEKEND AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. I WAS FORCED TO BUY A REPLACEMENT TIRE OF A DIFFERENT BRAND, BUT THE SAME SIZE ETC. BECAUSE I HAD TO TRAVEL TOO FAR BEFORE MONDAY AND THE SPARE WOULD NOT BE SAFE. IN APPROX. ONE MONTH MY TPMS LIGHT CAME ON AND I STOPPED TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE. THE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. I LATER WENT TO THE TIRE COMPANY FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE TIRE AND THEY SHOWED ME HOW TO RESET IT. AFTER ONLY 3 OR 4 MILES, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THE SERVICE MANAGER CORROBORATED WHAT THE TIRE COMPANY HAD TOLD ME AND THAT WAS THAT THE NEW SYSTEM ON HONDA CARS MEASURED, "ROTATIONS" AND NOT "ACTUAL TIRE PRESSURE." SO, THE OFF-BRAND I WAS FORCED TO BUY WAS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE HONDA SENSOR SYSTEM AND THAT IT WAS A "FLAW." THE TPMS MONITOR PROBLEM LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON EACH TIME I START THE CAR. I ASKED HIM HOW I COULD KNOW IF MY TIRES WERE REALLY LOW AND HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY CHECK THEM AND THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT! I TOOK MY CAR IN AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE TIRE SYSTEM. THE SERVICE PERSON SPOKE WITH ME ABOUT THE TIRE LIGHT AND SAID THAT I HAD PURCHASED A NON-HONDA RECOMMENDED TIRE AND IT WAS MY FAULT. I CALLED HONDA CORP AND AT FIRST THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL HOEHN HONDA TO WORK WITH ME FOR A FIX. BUT I RECEIVED NO CALL. LATER I SPOKE WITH A HONDA CORP LADY WHO SAID THAT HONDA DID NOT SELL THE CAR AND THAT THE DEALER WAS RESPONSIBLE! TWO VERSIONS OF THE SOLUTION. I CALLED ANOTHER DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS MY FAULT AND THAT THE CAR INFO RECOMMENDS THE DEALER BRAND AND THAT THEY BE BOUGHT IN PAIRS OF TWO ! REALLY? SO, I DON'T HAVE A BROKEN TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM THAT I PAID FOR AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I WILL NOT KNOW IF MY TIRES ARE FLAT. AND THE TBMS LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON! HELP

I GOT A FLAT TIRE IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE "FIX-IT" KIT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE A SPARE COULD NOT WORK. IT IS UNETHICAL TO SELL A CAR WITHOUT ADEQUATE FLAT TIRE REMEDIATION
