AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING TOOK CAR FROM 60 TO 0 ON HIGHWAY (ROUTE 65N IN NASHVILLE). LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME (IT WAS 6AM) OR I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR CONTROL THE CAR AT THIS POINT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST MONTH. THIS TURNS A TOUTED SAFETY FEATURE INTO A HAZARDOUS FEATURE. PLANNING ON A DEALER VISIT THIS FRIDAY

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING MY NEW 2018 ACCORD EX-L 2.0 IN THE LEFT LANE ON I65 GOING SOUTH TOWARD LAFAYETTE IN ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 5. THERE WERE TWO SOUTHBOUND LANES. CONDITIONS WERE WET BUT IT WAS NOT RAINING HARD AT THE TIME. HAD ACC AND OTHER SAFETY FEATURES ON. WAS PASSING A SEMI (THAT WAS GOING ABOUT 70-71 MPH) AT ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN A CAR CAME UP BEHIND ME GOING MUCH FASTER THAN ME. I ACCELERATED TO MOVE IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THE SMALL YELLOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS STEADILY LOSING SPEED. I MANEUVERED OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER GOING ABOUT 50. HAD TO KEEP THE ENGINE REVVED AT 3000 RPM AND STILL WAS STEADILY LOSING SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON THE SHOULDER. EVENTUALLY PULLED OFF AT THE FIRST EXIT AFTER ABOUT 2 MILES ON THE SHOULDER AND WAS GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AT THE TIME. TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND STARTED IT UP. IT DROVE FINE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED OFF. I HAD MY WIFE AND TWO DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR. WE EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON A BUSY TWO-LANE INTERSTATE WITH MANY SEMIS. DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO CODES TO CHECK FROM THE CEL AND THAT ALL HOSES, ETC ARE CONNECTED AND THAT THE CAR IS FINE. IT WASN'T FINE WHEN IT LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. I SUSPECT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL PUMP.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T W/ AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES. IT SHIFTS VERY ROUGHLY SOMETIMES, I NOTICE THE PROBLEM MOST WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, HOWEVER IT STILL HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN ENGINE IS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES. I UNDERSTAND THAT ITS A FIRST YEAR PRODUCTION VEHICLE AND A NEWLY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION BUT HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH UNDER 700.00 MILES IS EXCUSABLE. THE PROBLEM DID NOT SUDDENLY START, I NOTICED THE PROBLEM SOON AFTER DRIVING OFF THE DEALER LOT FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND LET ME BE CLEAR, I UNDERSTAND WHAT "BREAK IN PERIODS" ARE FOR CARS AND I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE AGGRESSIVELY AT ALL YET, THE VERY ROUGH SHIFTS HAPPEN AT JUST NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MONDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2018, I WAS TRAVELING ON U.S. HIGHWAY 19 AND A VEHICLE TURNED OFF ABOUT A HALF MILE AHEAD OF ME WHILE I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE HAD COMPLETELY CLEARED THE ROAD AND MY CAR SLAMMED ON BRAKES CAUSING EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE TO BE THROWN INTO THE FLOORBOARD. HAD THERE BEEN A CAR BEHIND ME, THE CAR WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED MY VEHICLE. THERE CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE WHERE THE SENSOR RECOGNIZES SOMETHING IN THE ROAD THAT IS NOT THERE OR A VEHICLE THAT HAS ALREADY CLEARED THE ROAD AND SLAMS ON BRAKES. THIS CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IS DAMAGING ON THE BRAKES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THIS SYSTEM ENGAGED BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL SLAM ON BRAKES CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO REAR-END ME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I HAD AN EVENT WITH MY TURBO HOSE BEING LOOSE, DEALER TECH SAID MUST HAVE BEEN LOOSE COMING FROM THE FACTORY. HERE IS THE THREAD. MY SITUATION IS ILLUSTRATED WITH MY HANDLE, "MIKIWOLF". BASICALLY, LOST POWER IN MY VEHICLE AFTER 1850 MILES AND HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AT FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS BAD FUEL AND QUOTED ME $800 TO CLEAN THE FUEL TANK. TECH KEPT USING "ETHANOL" AND "WATER" INTERCHANGEABLY WHICH CONFUSED ME. A DAY LATER I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TECH SAID IT WAS BAD GAS WITH JUST 5% ETHANOL, FUEL WAS TOO RICH CREATING THE PROBLEM FOR ME. EVEN AFTER I EXPRESSED THAT ETHANOL IS SIMPLY AN ADDITIVE, IT MEANT LITTLE TO THIS 20-SOMETHING KID. LONG STORY SHORT, AFTER I ASKED HIM TO TEST FOR WATER, HE WOUND UP DOING A VISUAL INSPECTION AND FOUND THE TURBO INLET PIPE WAS LOOSE, TIGHTENED IT, AND DID A TEST DRIVE - PROBLEM FIXED. THE TECH WENT ON TO SAY THAT HIS INTERNAL FORUM SHOWS THIS SITUATION HAPPENING MORE AND MORE WITH ACCORDS. HE THINKS THEY ARE COMING FROM THE FACTORY TOO LOOSE AND GOING FORWARD HE KNOWS WHAT TO LOOK FOR NOW. THE DEALERSHIP DID THE RIGHT THING TO WORK WITH ME AND RECONCILE THEIR FINDINGS WITH ME. PROBLEM IS, NOT EVERYONE IS AS TECHNICAL AS I AM AND OVERALL HONDA SEEMS TO HAVE A BUILD ISSUE TO RESOLVE AND BROADLY INVESTIGATE.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH ACC (ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL) ENABLED AND LKAS (LANE KEEP ASSIST) ENABLED AND PASSING A CAR AND ANOTHER TIME AN 18 WHEEL TRUCK, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND ABRUPTLY BRAKED TO SLOW DOWN 5 MPH. THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT AND NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE CARS WERE BEHIND ME AND THEY ALL HAD TO REACT TO SLOW DOWN. T
