2016 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I PURCHASED A 2016 HONDA ACCORD, TOURING TRIM LEVEL, BRAND NEW. BOTH DRL'S CEASED TO FUNCTION JUST PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. THE DRIVER SIDE DRL HAS CEASED TO OPERATE AGAIN, IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE INTERMITTENTLY. SUBURBAN HONDA (25100 HAGGERTY RD, FARMINGTON HILLS, MI 48335, (248) 477-1700) WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE ON MORE THAN TWO OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT REVIEWED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: 16002 PERTAINING TO THE FLY WHEEL AND STARTER, BUT THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AS THE DEALER INDICATED THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE STARTER AND FLY WHEEL WERE NOT CONNECTING PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HAD BATTERY SENSOR PROBLEMS WITCHED CAUSE THE ALTERNATOR NOT TO CHARGE THE BATTERY COMPLETELY. AS A RESULT ALTERNATOR GOT DAMAGED AND WAS LEFT TO INSTALL A NEW ONE.

CLOCK RESETS EVERY TIME I TURN CAR OFF. MILEAGE PERFORMANCE PER TANK OF GAS RESETS ALSO.

I NEEDED TO CHANGE FUEL PUMP AND MY FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED BECAUSE MY CAR WAS STALLING AND NOT RESPONDING TO ACCELERATION ON THE ROAD BUT RESPOND WHEN I DIDN'T EVEN ACCELERATE WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I DID SEE HONDA RECALLED V6 MODELS BUT THEY SHOULD RECALL V4 MODELS TOO AS IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.

THIS 2016 HONDA ACCORD TOURING OF MINE MAKES SCREECHING NOISE AT 20 MPH OR LOWER WHEN I TURN LEFT. I TOOK IT TO BROOKDALE HONDA AT BROOKLYN CENTER MN TODAY AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT NOTHING BUT COMING FROM ONE OF THE SEATS. THIS CAR GAVE ME PROBLEMS FROM BAD TIRES TO WHEELS TO STEERING WHEEL AND DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS NOW. US GOVERNMENT SHOULD FINE THESE COMPANIES HARD. THIS IS A $35 K CAR AND WE CONSUMERS ARE FACING THESE UNWANTED ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FROM HONDA WITHOUT ANY QUESTIONS. HONDA IS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES AND TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND LET THE OWNERS KNOW BEFORE WE KNOW IT. VERY FRUSTRATING...

BOTH DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS (DLRS) STOPPED WORKING. THEY ARE HALF ILLUMINATED AND A SAFETY HAZARD. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AS IT IS HAZARDOUS.

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR. IT SUDDENLY JUMPS. IT SEEMS LIKE ITS THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED AS WELL AS HIGH SPEED. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO KEEP MY CAR MAINTAINED. ALSO ITS BATTERY IS DYING AFTER HAVING IT FOR 3 YEARS. I HAVE TO JUMP THE CAR AT RANDOM TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT START.

THE DRL (DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP) INSIDE THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS BURNED OUT. MY HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS ADMITTED THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON FAILURE WITH 2016/17 ACCORDS. IF IT HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDS, IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPLACEMENT ANYWHERE FROM $500. TO $1,000. THE PASSENGER SIDE DRL IN THAT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AS I AM TOLD IN THESE ACCORDS IS ALSO BURNING OUT IN TIME AFTER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES, THEREFORE INCURRING ANOTHER HUGE EXPENSE. THESE DRL LIGHTS ARE LED AND SUPPOSED TO LAST FOR SEVERAL YEARS. AN ELECTRICAL FAULT CONTROLLING THESE LAMPS OR SOME KIND OF BAD ENGINEERING DESIGN ARE CAUSING THE FAILURE OF THE DRLS. THESE AUTOMOBILES WERE BUILT WITH THIS LIGHTING SYSTEM TO AID IN SAFETY ON OUR DANGEROUS ROADS AND OWNERS OF THESE AUTOS EXPECT THEM TO STAY WORKING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, TWO OR THREE WHEN PURCHASING A NEW CAR. THESE LIGHTS JUST BURN OUT WHEN DRIVING AT SOME POINT.

MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT LED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS NO LONGER WORKING. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN OUT, BUT NOTICED IT TODAY.
