AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM PROBLEM. AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT SOMETIMES COMES ON WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTANT PROBLEM. DEALER UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM ON 2 (3 HR) VISITS. HONDA HQ REPORTS: WEIGHT TO TRIGGER SENSOR IS < 60LBS. WARNING LIGHT THAT AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT AIR BAG IS OFF AND WILL NOT DEPLOY. LIGHT MUST BE ON WHEN DEALER CHECKS AS HONDA COMPUTER DOES NOT STORE ANY ERROR CODES OR CONDITIONS, ADVISED TO WAIT UNTIL LIGHT COME ON THEN GO TO DEALER. I OBJECTED AS PASSENGER IS AT RISK OF LIFE THAT THE AIR BAG WILL PROVIDE NO PROTECTION IN EVENT OF COLLISION. HONDA STATED POLICY THEY WILL NOT REPLACE SENSOR UNLESS IT FAILS IN TEST AT DEALER ' THAT IS, PERMANENTLY BAD, NOT INTERMITTANT. HONDA HQ AGENT THEN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE SHE/HONDA COULD DO. I SAID YES, REPLACE ANY SENSOR THAT MAY CAUSE THE LIGHT TO GO ON, AND CHECK LIGHT FOR FAULTY WIRING. RESPONSE: WE'RE NOT WILLING TO DO THAT. (HONDA HQ CASE # 05056884)

SUSPENSION
THERE IS A VERY LOUD HUMMING/ROARING NOISE THAT IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL. I THOUGHT IT WAS TIRE RELATED AND WAS TALKED INTO NEW TIRES IN WHICH THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, IT IS LOOKING AS IF THE NOISE IS BEING PRODUCED FROM THE REAR WHEEL BEARING. I CAN TURN SHARPLY TO THE LEFT, RELIEVING PRESSURE/WEIGHT FROM THE LEFT REAR AND THE NOISE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES. TURNING SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT, (INCREASING PRESSURE TO THE LEFT REAR) INCREASES THE NOISE. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING DIAGNOSED BY MY HONDA DEALER. THE NOISE STARTED AT AROUND 35K AND HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE.

LOW MILES 2 YEAR OLD HONDA ACCORD RANDOMLY WENT UP IN FLAMES AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 30MINS AT THE DOCTORS OFFICE. LOOKS TO BE A HP FUEL PUMP DESIGN PROBLEM. THIS PUMP WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THANKFULLY IT WASN'T PARKED IN MY GARAGE.

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES WITH 41,000 MILES ON A 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAVE PIECES OF RUBBER COMING OUT OF THEM. THE BALANCING AND ALIGNMENT ARE FINE AND AIR PRESSURE IS AT 33 PSI. TIRES ARE ROTATED AT EVERY SERVICE, APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MILES. I HAVE TRIED TO SEND PICTURES TO GOODYEAR HEADQUARTERS AND THEY REFUSE TO ALLOW ME TO DO SO. THEY ONLY ACCEPT THE WORD OF THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED IT IS A RESULT OF DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROADS, WHICH HAS NEVER TAKEN PLACE. THEY WERE WILLING TO DO A PARTIAL WEAR ADJUSTMENT, BUT THEY WILL NOT GO THE 50% AS STATED IN THE WRITTEN WARRANTY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
FLASHING DASHBOARD: FCW,ENGINE LIGHT ON, STABILIZER CONTROL LIGHT,ABS- ALL THE LIGHTS FLASHING ON DASH BOARD, UNABLE TO START CARD. BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD. CAR WAS PARKED ON STREET IN FRONT OF HOME. FIFTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE DEALER CLAIMS IT'S THE FOURTH TIME. CAR PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. THE DEALER BLAMES ALARM DEPARTMENT. THE ALARM DEPARTMENT CLAIMS DEALER ALWAYS BLAMES THEM. HOWEVER, I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PERMANENTLY FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT BEGAN IN 2015. THIS FALLS INSIDE OF 18 MONTHS LEMON LAW. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A ONGOING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS NOT RECEPTIVE ABOUT IT.

SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL FROM A STOP I WILL NOT GET POWER AND I'M AFRAID THAT AN ACCIDENT WILL OCCUR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I BELIEVE THE OXYGEN SENSOR MAY BE THE CAUSE. LACK OF POWER.

HANGING A HANDICAP PLACARD FROM THE AUTO DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR CAUSED A WIRING HARNESS SHORT. THE SHORT WAS INTERMMITENT AT FIRST AND CAUSED A PARTIAL LOSS OF ACCESSORIES (AC, RADIO, ETC.) WHILE DRIVING. WITHIN 5 MILES OF THE LOSS OF ACCESSORIES, A HARD SHORT OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STARTED. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURRED DEALER REFUSED TO COVER REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY INDICATING THAT THE CONDITION WAS CAUSED BY AN OUTSIDE SOURCE (THE HANDICAP PLACARD). I APPEALED TO AMERICAN HONDA 7/13/16 AND THE SAME DECISION WAS UPHELD.

STRUCTURE:BODY, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPOT AT 2 MPH OR LESS, AND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP, THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD OUT OF MY CONTROL, ACROSS THE CONCRETE BARRIER, OVER A WALKWAY AND INTO THE WALL OF A RESTAURANT, WHERE IT STALLED. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TO REVERSE IT AWAY FROM THE CRASH. FORTUNATELY NO-ONE WAS HURT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE WALL OF THE RESTAURANT. THIS ALSO HAPPENED IN MARCH 2014. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE ENGINE ROARED, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, AND I CRASHED ACROSS A PATH AND THROUGH A WOODEN FENCE. THE DAMAGE THEN WAS $10K. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP'S COLLISION CENTER, WHICH REPORTED ONLY THAT "NO DEFECTS IN MATERIALS OR FACTORY WORKMANSHIP WERE FOUND." THERE ARE AT LEAST 11 OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS STRING, AND IT IS CLEARLY A VERY DANGEROUS FAULT IN THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN LEAVING ME STRANDED BECAUSE THE CAR KILLS THE BATTERY. IT STARTED LAST YEAR AND THE DEALER SAID THE BATTERY WAS FINE, AND LEFT IT AT THAT. NOW A YEAR LATER THE BATTER IS STILL TESTING GOOD BUT THE CAR HAS LEFT ME 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY IN 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I PERMANENTLY HAVE TO CART JUMPING CABLES JUST I. CASE. I'M SO SAD TO SEE THAT I'M PAYING AND I'VE BEEN SUCH A FAITHFUL HONDA CLIENT AND THIS IS REALLY DEVESTATING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE RIGHT TURN CAMERA THAT IS DESIGNED TO HELP ELIMINATE THE BLIND SPOT IS DEACTIVATED DURING HIGH HEAT.,IN PHOENIX AZ "HIGH HEAT" MEANS DIRECT SUNLIGHT AT OVER 85 DEGREES. WHEN I REPORTED THE DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT THIS OUTAGE CREATES FOR THE DRIVERS OF OUR CAR THEY JUST SAID, "YEAH, IT TAKES A WHILE TO COOL OFF." SOMETIMES 15 MINUTES. MEANWHILE I DON'T HAVE THE SAFETY FEATURE I PAID FOR. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW OFTEN MY SAFETY CAMERA SHUTS OFF NOW THAT WE ARE "IN SEASON?" DAILY. LITERALLY EVERY DAY MY RIGHT TURN BLIND SPOT CAMERA SHUTS DOWN WITH A WARNING THAT POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD THAT ELIMINATES OUR ABILITY TO SEE OTHER WARNING SENSOR LIGHTS. I HONESTLY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HONDA IS KNOWINGLY ALLOWING THIS DEFECT TO REMAIN. A HIGH HEAT SENSOR GOING OFF AT 85 DEGREE AMBIENT TEMP IS ABSURD. THEY SAID, NOPE...TOTALLY NORMAL. I'D SAY THAT A CAMERA HELPING ELIMINATE THE BLIND SPOT THAT RESULTS IN MANY ACCIDENTS, SHOULD BE WORKING AT ALL TIMES. AGAIN, SHAME ON HONDA. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN.
