ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY HONDA ACCORD EX-L, 2014. WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MY CAR SHOWED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH PANEL. IT SAID "SYSTEM FAILED", AND THE DASH FUNCTIONS BECAME PARALYZED. SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE HOOD. IN A FEW MINUTES, THE FRONT PART OF THE CAR WAS IN FLAMES. MOST OF THE CAR WAS BURNED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED DURING THE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO SIMULATE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE FCW SHOULD ALERT, WITH NO SUCCESS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE SELLING DEALER FOUR TIMES. ON TWO OF THE VISITS THE FCW ONLY WORKED ONCE AFTER TESTING FOUR OR MORE TIMES.THE FCW NOTIFICATION WAS TOO CLOSE FOR SAFELY TAKING ACTION. THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE WARNING DISTANCE WHEN CHANGING THE SETTINGS- LONG, NORMAL, SHORT. ON THE TWO OTHER OCCASIONS THE FCW DID NOT WORK AT ALL. DEALER ADVISED IT WAS TO DANGEROUS TO RIDE ALONG ON TEST DRIVES. HONDA AMERICA WOULD NOT FURNISH EXPECTED STOPPING DISTANCES TO DETERMINE IF FCW WAS WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MANY VARIABLES AND THIS INFORMATION WAS PRIVATE COMPANY INFORMATION. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVISE AND SHOULD WORK PROPERLY. HONDA AMERICA REFUSED MY REQUEST TO SEND TO AN EMPLOYE TO TEST DRIVE. UPDATED 9/28/15 *LN UPDATED 12/08/2017*CN *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE HESITATED THEN STALLED. UPON RESTARTING AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE SURGED FORWARD. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE LOST POWER MOMENTARILY THEN REENGAGED. THE A.C./CLIMATE CONTROL IS AGAIN NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, AND THE HANDS-FREE PHONE FUNCTION DISCONNECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CAR WAS TAKEN THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO TO HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONING DEFECT REPAIRS COMPLETED. AT THAT TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE TRUNK LID THAT HAS BEEN FALLING DOWN SINCE I TOOK POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2014. THE TRUNK LID FALLS AT WILL.

THE VEHICLE IS ABLE TO BE TURNED OFF WITH OUT PUTTING IN PARK. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC WITH PUSH BUTTON START. WHEN STOPPING AT AN ARRIVED LOCATION YOU ARE ABLE TO PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF YOUR VEHICLE WITH OUT PUTTING IT IN PARK WHICH THEN DISENGAGES THE GEARS. IF YOU HAPPEN TO FORGET TO PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE CAR OFF IN DRIVE WHEN YOU GET OUT, THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL AWAY. ANY OTHER PUSH BUTTON START VEHICLE I HAVE USED WOULD NOT ALLOW YOU TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN UNTIL IT WAS PLACED IN PARK. ROLL AWAY ISSUES SHOULD AND COULD BE EASILY FIXED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE AT MY CONDO THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND WENT OVER THE PARKING SPACE CEMENT MARKER, OVER THE SHRUBS AND ONTO SIDEWALK. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKES HARD ENOUGH TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE CRASHING INTO THE BUILDING. I JUST NICKED THE EDGE OF THE CEMENT DOORWAY LEADING INTO THE WALKWAY TO MY CONDO BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE HOOD TO BUCKLE. THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR AND THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIR WAS $5500.00. MA 10/14 UPDATED 11/30/2017*CN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN TRYING TO START MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX, I HAVE TO ATTEMPT IT SEVERAL TIMES TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BEFORE IT WILL START. SOMETIMES IT STARTS RIGHT AWAY, SOMETIMES IT TAKES 16 TIMES! I TOOK THE HONDA TO THE HOLLER HONDA DEALERSHIP (WHICH IS THE ONLY PLACE I TAKE IT TO FOR SERVICE SINCE I BOUGHT IT) AND THEY ARE STATING IT'S A "STARTER ISSUE" AND THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE "POWER TRAIN" WARRANTY AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $495 FOR A NEW STARTER, PLUS $200 LABOR. THE CAR BEING SO NEW DOES NOT HAVE "AFTER MARKET" PARTS AND SO I WOULD HAVE TO BUY IT NEW. MY LAST HONDA ACCORD EX V6 2005 MODEL DIDN'T HAVE ITS STARTER REPLACED UNTIL JULY 2012. SO I KNOW THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! I'VE EVEN RESEARCHED THE LIFE OF AN AVERAGE STARTER AND MOST OF THEM ARE AT 100K MILES OR 5 YEARS. SO I KNOW HONDA HAS TO HELP ME WITH THIS! I'VE BEEN CALLING HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION IN CALIFORNIA (MICHAEL) AND THE HOLLER HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ORLANDO (MAGGIE NERO - SERVICE MANAGER) AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN DRAGGING THEIR FEET WITH THIS. ANY INSIGHT ON THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I STARTED MY CAR IN PARK WHILE ON A HILL WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. THE CAR STARTED MOVING A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE I RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. IMMEDIATELY, I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I STOPPED THE CAR BY PUTTING ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PUTTING THE TRANS MISSION IN PARK. THE TOTAL TRIP WAS ABOUT 100 YARDS. I NOTICED THAT 5 OR 6 WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON INCLUDING THE BATTERY. THEN I QUICKLY TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I WAITED FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND EMBARKED ON A 25 MILE TRIP HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND WITHOUT WARNING I FELT MY VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO TURN AS I PREPARED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I LOOKED AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND NOTICE MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT ON. I APPLIED EXCESSIVE EFFORT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO TURN AND MANAGE TO STOP IN A PARKING LOT WHERE, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD. THE NEXT MORNING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME SITUATION ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT A VEHICLE AND CRASH INTO A POND. UPDATED 9/15/15 *LN.... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF UPDATED 11/07/2017*CN

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, WHEELS
MY HONDAY ACCORD HYBRID DOES NOT COME WITH A SPARE TIRE. IT JUST COMES WITH A SEALING KIT TO TEMPORARILY REPAIR THE FLAT TIRE. ON MAY 30TH I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY AND GOT A FLAT TIRE. I TRIED THE SEALING KIT ACCORDING TO ITS INSTRUCTION, IT DID NOT DO ANYTHING AND I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED AWAY. THE FACT THAT THE REPAIR KIT DID NOT WORK AT THE TIME OF NEED IS ONE ISSUE. MY MAIN ISSUE IS NOT THAT, IT'S THE FACT THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A SPARE TIRE AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT OUT OF TOWN. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS TRAVELLING OUT OF STATE, AND HAD A FLAT TIRE, I COULD BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE. ON JUNE 14 I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA CORPORATION AND REQUESTED THAT THEY PROVIDE ME WITH A COMPACT SPARE TIRE THAT I CAN CARRY IN MY CAR TRUNK. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND INFORMED ME THAT HONDA WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A SPARE TIRE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS LIKE OTHER OWNERS OF HONDA HYBRID HAVE SAME CONCERN AND THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR EITHER. IN ANY CASE I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU.

I'M REACHING OUT TO YOU CONCERNING MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT VIN #: [XXX]. I RECENTLY HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT AND THE REAR BUMPER WAS SCRATCHED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP TO HAVE THE REAR BUMPER PAINTED. THE REPAIR SHOP CALLED ME AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MISSING THE ABSORBER ON THE REAR BUMPER, THAT IS THE FOAM PART THAT FITS BETWEEN THE OUTSIDE BUMPER AND THE METAL PLATE. THE PAINT SHOP TOLD ME THAT SOMETIMES NEW VEHICLES ARRIVE AT THE DEALER WITH BUMPERS & SIDE MIRRORS DETACH AND THEY GET ASSEMBLE AT THE DEALER OR ITS POSSIBLE THAT A BATCH OF VEHICLE WERE SHIPPED MISSING THE ABSORBER IN THE BUMPER AREA. IF YOU TOUCH AND PRESS YOUR FINGER IN THE REAR BUMPER YOU FEEL AN AIR SPACE GAP AND THE BUMPER DOES NOT FEEL HARD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS A NIGHTMARE. HONDA ACCORD 2014.LAST NIGHT MY WINDOWS AND SUNROOF AUTOMATICALLY OPENED; THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER RANDOM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, SEE BELOW. THE OPENING OF THE WINDOWS OCCURRED DURING A RAIN STORM AND MY BRAND NEW HONDA IS FILLED WITH WATER. THE DASH IS BLANK AND THE PHOB KEY RADIO SEARCHING LIGHT IS NOT BLINKING; SO THERE WAS A SHORT THAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN. IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED BELOW, PAY ATTENTION TO THEM BECAUSE I KEPT THINKING THEY WERE JUST RANDOM LITTLE ISSUES BUT THEY WERE PRECURSORS TO THIS VERY BIG ISSUE. MY CAR IS TOTALED!!! PAY ATTENTION TO THE SMALL STUFF AND SAVE YOUR LIFE AND GET RID OF YOUR CAR. MY TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENED, PARKED AND DRIVING. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, EVEN AFTER BEING RESET AND TIRES CHECKED. I'D GET IN MY CAR AND FIND THE SUNROOF PARTIALLY OPENED OVER NIGHT. THERE IS A WEIRD RATTLE IN MY CAR IN THE FRONT AREA, SOUNDS LIKE ITS IN THE DASH BOARD, BUT COULD NEVER ISOLATE IT.
