2020 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON FOR THE BREAKING SYSTEM ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM SEE YOUR DEALER, COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM SEE YOUR DEALER ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM SEE YOUR DEALER. WITH THE ACC AND BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ON AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 2516 MILES ON IT. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE AT ALL TO DRIVE. WHAT IS BEING DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS KIND? IS THERE A FIX NOW!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAIRDON'S HONDA OF SUMNER (6302 AUTO LN, SUMNER, WA 98390, (253)826-6800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION (ANC) SYSTEM TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WITH THE ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION (ANC) SYSTEM AND WERE WORKING ON A REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 760.

LOUD BUZZING NOISE RANDOMLY. I THINK ITS AN ISSUE WITH THE ACTIVE NOISE CANCELATION SYSTEM. IT'S LOUD, RANDOM AND FREQUENT. NOTICED IT AS SOON AS I GOT THE VEHICLE. HAVE FOUND FORUMS WHERE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE POWER STEERING WILL LACK RESPONSE AND THE CAR WILL DRIFT ONLY TO HAVE CONTROL REGAINED VIA A NOTCHY LIGHT JOLT OF THE WHEEL. ANOTHER WAY IN WHICH 2018-2020 ACCORD CONSUMERS HAVE DESCRIBED IT AS A NOTCH AND/OR FLAT SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEN ON SMOOTH STRAIGHT HIGHWAY ROADS. AS OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE NOTED, I TYPICALLY ENCOUNTER THIS ONLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT I DO EVEN NOTICE THIS WITHIN 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (LEITH HONDA ABERDEEN) TO WHICH THEY STATED "CUSTOMER CONCERN NOT DUPLICATED AT THIS TIME. NO SERVICE BULLETINS AT THIS TIME OR SERVICE NEWS ON THIS CONCERN". THE DEALERSHIP "PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TEST NO DTC CODES STEER ANGLE AT ZERO DEGREES". THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. GIVEN THAT I'VE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST 20 SUCH COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEB-SITE FROM 2018-2020 MODELS, I'M SURPRISED THAT NO SUCH BULLETIN OR RECALL IS DOCUMENTED TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THIS IS PRIMARILY A HIGHWAY ISSUE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH, BUT I EVEN FEEL THE NOTCHY STEERING ON SMOOTH SINGLE LANE COUNTRY ROADS THAT AT 40-50MPH. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR DRIFTS AND THE DRIVER FIGHTS TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. ESPECIALLY CONCERNING WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR SLICK CONDITIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO HIGH-SPEED SWERVING.

THE FIRST WEEK I HAD THE CAR I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT IN NASHUA, NH AND WENT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. I PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF BUT INADVERTENTLY FORGOT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE PARKING SPACE WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH THE SLOPE GOING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO STAND UP TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL, KNOCKING ME OVER, CATCHING/TWISTING MY RIGHT LEG IN AND UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT AND THE DOOR (FRACTURING IT IN TWO PLACES REQUIRING ME TO BE WHEELCHAIR BOUND AND NON-WEIGHT BEARING FOR 8 WEEKS). AS I PULLED MY RIGHT LEG OUT, I WAS ON THE GROUND AND THE DRIVER-SIDE REAR TIRE RAN OVER MY LEFT LEG. FORTUNATELY A CURB AT THE END OF THE PARKING SPACE STOPPED THE CAR FROM ROLLING, BUT ALLOWED IT TO ROLL FAR ENOUGH FOR MY LEFT LEG TO NOT BE TRAPPED UNDER THE TIRE. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I MUST HAVE BEEN IN SHOCK AS I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND DROVE TO MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE ABOUT 10 MINUTES AWAY. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND MANY OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE A SAFETY MEASURE IN PLACE WHERE IF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS OPENED WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP SO IT WILL NOT RESULT IN THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE TO HAVE A SAFETY MECHANISM IN PLACE (LIKE NOT DEPLOYING AIRBAGS IF NO WEIGHT IN THE SEAT, OR TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME IF THEY ARE LEFT ON, ETC.) RESULTED IN THIS HAPPENING AND MY UNDERSTANDING FROM OTHER IS THIS COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD IMPLEMENT SIMILAR SAFETY MEASURES THAT OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE IN PLACE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE.

WHILE ON MOTION ON A STATE HIGHWAY MINOR DEBRIS FROM THE ROADWAY THAT HITS THE WINDSHIELD OFTEN CREATES SMALL NICKS ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT COLLECTIVELY IMPAIR VISIBILITY. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF WINDOW NICKS AND CHIPS.

THIS VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS TENDS TO MAKE A HIGH ACCELERATING NOTICES, IT MAKES A PERSON FEEL AS IF SOME OTHER VEHICLE WAS PASSING ON THE LEFT SIDE AT A VERY HIGH SPEED. THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS NOISE, I MOVED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THINKING THAT A SPEEDING DRIVER WAS PASSING ME. SINCE THEN, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MAKE THIS ACCELERATING NOISE, SIX TO SEVEN TIMES ON A AVERAGE OF A THIRTY MILE TRIP. I FEET THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. THE VEHICLE MAKES THIS NOISE WHEN IN MOTION FROM 20-50 MILES PER HOUR, AND MIGHT ALSO MAKE IT AT HIGHER SPEEDS. IT NEVER MAKES IT WHILE SITTING IN PLACE IDLING.

1. THE APPLE CAR PLAY FREEZES WITH THE ORIGINAL APPLE LIGHTNING CABLE 2. THE DRIVER'S DOOR CLOSES WORSE THAN THE PASSENGER DOOR. I HAVE TO PUSH THE DRIVER'S DOOR MUCH HARDER TO CLOSE IT. 3. THE ISSUE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER. I'M USING AUTO 72 DEGREES AND DON'T LIKE TO PLAY WITH THE AC. 30-40 MINUTES AFTER WARMING UP THE CAR, THE AIR FROM THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT GRILLES BEGINS TO BLOW WITH COLD AIR, I FEEL COLD AIR ON MY KNEES. IF I MANUALLY CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE AIR ONLY TO THE FACE, THEN THE AIR IS BLOWING WARM. IF I RETURN THE AIR CONDITIONER TO AUTOMATIC MODE, I FEEL COLD AIR AGAIN FROM THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT GIRLS. 4. STILL HEAR LONG LOUD HUMMING SOUND WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 53 MPH FROM THE FRONT DOORS SPEAKERS I ASSUME, AND SHORT LOUD HUMMING SOUND WHILE DRIVING IN CITY AROUND 28-29 MPH. I SUPPOSE THE ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION SYSTEM WORKING NOT PROPERLY.

WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED, AND NOT RUNNING, TRUNK LID UNLATCHES, AND OPENS, RANDOMLY AND UNCOMMANDED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS (4-5), OCCASIONS WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE.

2020 ACCORD 2.0T SPORT 10,600 MILES I WAS TRAVELING ACROSS THE STATE WITH PERIODS OF LIGHT AND HEAVY RAIN. ABOUT HALFWAY INTO MY ~280 MILE TRIP I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM THE LIGHT, MY CAR LOST POWER AND THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING, WITH NO OTHER WARNING MESSAGES. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED TO FIND NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WARNING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE LATE IN THE EVENING SO I CONTINUED TO THE DESTINATION. WITH APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES TO GO, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AROUND A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE AND WAS MET WITH PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, AS WELL AS MANY WARNING MESSAGES. TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR ENABLED ME TO DRIVE AGAIN, BUT THE WARNING MESSAGES REMAIN. BOTH TIMES THIS OCCURRED IT WAS RAINING. BOTH TIMES I LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MOVE TO A SAFE LOCATION.
