VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM HAS THROWN AN ERROR AND STOPPED WORKING 5 TIMES NOW. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON LONG ROAD TRIPS ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 50+ MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED LESS THAN 30 MINUTES AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIMES AFTER 2+ HOURS OF DRIVING. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS HAVE RANGED FROM CLOUDY TO FINE (NO SNOW OR RAIN). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC.

I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND ONCE I HIT ABOUT 10-15 MPH, THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM CAME ON AND SLAMMED THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE A DASH CAMERA VIDEO WHICH SHOWS THE INCIDENT. THIS WAS ON A CLEAR, SUNNY DAY ON A NON-BUSY CITY STREET (OVERPASS).

SERVICE BRAKES
THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS INDICATED WITH THE STOPPING ABILITY OF THE CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE DEALER ONLY 2 MILES AWAY AND WHEN IT WAS INSPECTED I WAS TOLD BOTH PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES WERE DOWN TO METAL WITH NO PADS LEFT. THE DEALER SAID SOMETHING HAD FAILED CAUSING THE CONDITION WHICH WAS REQUIRING MORE PARTS TO BE REPLACED. IF WE WERE FARTHER FROM THE DEALER ( BARBER HONDA BAKERSFIELD) THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE IS MY UNDERSTANDING.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HIGHER MPH (50+) ROADS, GENERALLY BUT NOT ALWAYS WITH THE CRUSE CONTROL ON, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY APPLY THEMSELVES VERY HARD CAUSING THE CAR TO BECOME A SITTING TARGET FOR CARS COMING FROM BEHIND. THIS HAS HAPPENED A MULTITUDE OF TIMES AND WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WITH A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT THEY KEPT THE CAR BUT RETURNED IT SAYING THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING TO REPAIR.

STEERING
ISSUE WITH STEERING STICKING OR FEELING "NOTCHY" WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MINOR STEERING INPUT TO KEEP VEHICLE GOING STRAIGHT REQUIRES A LOT OF ISSUE, THEN THE STEERING LETS LOOSE JERKING THE CAR ON THE ROAD. STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED IN DECEMBER 2018, BUT THE ISSUE HAS RESURFACED WITH THE REPLACEMENT STEERING RACK.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF FUNCTION IN: 1. ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION 2. COLLISION MITIGATION 3. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL 4. BRAKING SYSTEM THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT SPEED OF 10-40MPH, WITH AIR TEMPERATURE OF 28-32 DEGREES AND SNOWY CONDITIONS. HONDA HAS REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE NUMEROUS, POTENTIALLY SW/HW - RELATED ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN MANIFESTING THEMSELVES IN OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS A NEW SET OF SYMPTOMS, BUT WITH MUCH HIGHER SEVERITY AND NO OBVIOUS PRECEDENT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO DISABLE THE LANE DEPARTURE AND THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THEIR ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. HOWEVER, IN THIS CASE THE MESSAGES THAT HAVE COME UP (WILL ATTACHE PHOTOS) DEMANDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE ERRORS AND MESSAGE DID NOT GO AWAY UPON MULTIPLE RESTARTS OF THE VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVAL TO THE DEALER, IT WAS INDICATED TO ME THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH THE VEHICLE AND STILL (MONTHS HENCE) DOES NOT HAVE A FIX, AND THAT HONDA HAS, ESSENTIALLY, BEEN RESORTING TO TESTING THEIR VEHICLE ON THE CUSTOMERS, INSTEAD OF MORE RIGOROUS PRE-RELEASE TESTING, INSTEAD CHOOSING TO USE THE DEALERS AS A QUASI-TEST/R&D DEPARTMENT. THE MULTIPLE SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE I EXPERIENCED TODAY IS A PRETTY CLEAR INDICATION OF THAT. I HAVE FILED ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH NTHSA RELATED TO THE OTHER ISSUES AND WOULD URGE YOU TO INITIATE A RECALL ON ALL OF THE HONDA ACCORDS (AND POSSIBLY ODYSSEYS AND PILOTS AS THEY SHARE SOME OF THE SUB-SYSTEMS) FOR THE 2018, 2019 AND THE COMING 2020 MODELS.

MY 2018 HONDA IS NOT DRIVEN OFTEN. IT SITS IN MY YARD MOST OF THE TIME. I HAD IT DETAILED A WEEK AGO ONLY TO FIND THE PAINT WAS PEELING ON TRUNK, HOOD AND ROOF. HORRIFIED AT THIS NEWS I WENT TO SOCIAL MEDIA TO SEE IF THIS HAD BEEN A PROBLEM WITH OTHER HONDA OWNERS. ON GOOGLE I FOUND AN ARTICLE THAT EXPLAINED THAT THE PAINT INDEED WAS PEELING. I FOLLOWED THE STEPS IN THE ARTICLE. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY OF COURSE EXCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY NOR WOULD THEY READ THE ARTICLE. MADE THEM GIVE ME WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY WERE EXCEPTING NO RESPONSIBILITY. TRIED FOR DAYS TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SUCCESS. NOW CONTACTING YOU.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON SUNDAY NIGHT (11/10/19) AROUND 5:15 PM, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE LEFT LANE OF A 2-LANE HIGHWAY AT ~55 MPH. THE CLOSEST VEHICLE WAS NO LESS THAN 5 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD OF ME. RANDOMLY, THE ORANGE "BRAKE" LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASH AND THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP CAUSING MY HEAD TO JOLT FORWARD. LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO STOP AS I STARTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I BELIEVE THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME OR ON THE ROAD THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS SAFETY FEATURE TO ENGAGE. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I WOKE UP THIS MORNING IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN FROM MY NECK AND SHOULDERS DOWN TO MY LOWER BACK. THE PAIN HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND IS NOW RADIATING DOWN MY ARMS AND I HAVE LIMITED RANGE OF MOTION. LAST NIGHT, I FIGURED OUT HOW TO TURN OFF THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE FEATURE AND HAVE NOT TURNED IT BACK ON TODAY.

REAR BRAKE PADS ARE WEARING QUICKER THAN THE FRONT, I BARLEY HAVE ANY LIFE IN THE REAR PADS. (WEARING OUT TWICE AS FAST AS THEY NORMALLY SHOULD) JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 2008-2010 ACCORDS. HONDA LOOKED AT THE ISSUE AND COMPLETELY IGNORED IT, THEY TOLD ME ITS DANGEROUS IF I DONT CHANGE THEM AND THEY DIDNT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THEM WEARING OUT QUICK.

THE BRAKE SYSTEM ALERT IS FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION AND THERE IS NO BREAK ISSUE. IT APPEARS TO BE A FLAWED COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKE SYSTEM SENSOR AS THIS KEEPS FLASHING ACROSS THE DASH IN BIG BOLD LETTERS AND WONT GO OFF. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW 5 MONTHS AGO. WHEN TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE MESSAGE IS STILL THERE AND WONT GO AWAY.
