2017 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

2017 HONDA ACCORD TIRE BEAD TSB (BULLETIN ATS 180602) BULLETIN DATE: JUN. 19, 2018 COMPONENT: TIRE BEAD. BULLETIN SUMMARY: TECH LINE SUMMARY ARTICLE - TECH LINE HAS BEEN GETTING CALLS ABOUT A RUBBING NOISE WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED. WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR FIELD ENGINEERS TO UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE AND ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CALLING IN PARTS. VEHICLES COVERED IN THIS TSB: 2016 HONDA ACCORD, 2017 HONDA ACCORD. THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND HONDA CLAIMS ITS THE NEW CONTINENTAL TIRES THEY USE ON THESE CARS. NOW THAT MY CAR IS GOING OUT OF WARRANTY, I BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT HONDA WANTS TO HAPPEN.

VEHICLE FAILED TO START IN GARAGE FOR FIRST TIME AFTER HAVING BEEN DRIVEN REGULARLY. BATTERY TOO WEAK TO TURN ENGINE OVER. ATTEMPTED TO RECHARGE BATTERY. IT WOULD NOT TAKE A CHARGE. CHECKED BATTERY FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS BELOW TOP OF PLATES IN THREE OUTER CELLS. ADDED DISTILLED WATER AND ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE AGAIN. IT WOULD STILL NOT TAKE A CHARGE. CALLED DEALER AND REPORTED. 2017 ACCORD WAS 38 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASE WITH 28,000 MILES ON IT. NO WARRANTY COVERAGE THEREFORE I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AT FARM & FLEET. TECHNICIAN THERE NOTED BATTERY CASE DISTORTION AS IF THE BATTERY HAD BEEN FROZEN. DEFINITELY DID NOT HAPPEN SINCE WE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE THE BATTERY HAD NEVER PREVIOUSLY BEEN DISCHARGED TO MAKE IT VULNERABLE TO FREEZING. DEFINITELY A PROBLEM OTHER THAN ROUTINE BATTERY FAILURE DUE TO AGE OR USE.

I HAVE A 2017 ACCORD - THE BACKUP CAMERA LCD SCREEN STARTED TO FLICKER FOR A FEW DAYS EACH TIME I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE ALSO WAS REAL GRAINY THE WEEK BEFOR THE FLICKERING . WHEN I CHANGED THE CAMERA ANGLE IT WOULD SOMETIMES COME BACK AND WORK WHILE BACKING UP, BUT THEN IT WENT TO A BLACK SCREEN ALTOGETHER. IT'S BEEN BLACK EVER SINCE, THE CAMERA GOES ON WHILE I REVERSE BUT NOTHING SHOWS ON THE LCD SCREEN BUT THE GUIDING YELLOW LINES THAT SEEM TO BE POINTING UP. I NOTICED THE RECALL OF THE 2018 ACCORDS BACKUP CAMERA AND I THINK THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH THE 2017 ACCORD. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A WEEK BEFOR THIS HAPPENED. I REALLY BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I SEE THAT MORE THAN JUST MY 2017 ACCORD HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THERE BACKUP CAMERA AS WELL.

INTERMITTENT LOOSE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING, WHILE MAKING TURNS. TURNING THE CAR BATTERY ON THE WAITING 3 SECONDS BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE WILL USUALLY START THE CAR THEN CAR WILL THROW UP CAUTION LIGHT THAT GAS CAP IS NOT TIGHTLY CLOSED OR PUMP NOT GETTING PROPER PRESSURE. *TR

THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING AS A SLOW SPEED (FORTUNATELY) I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND ALL THE DASH FAULTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKED FAILED TO WORK. I HAD TO USE THE E-BRAKE TO STOP. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, BACK ON, THE FAULTS CLEARED AND THE BRAKES WORK. THIS COULD BECOME A DEADLY CRASH IF IT OCCURS AT HIGH SPEED AND THE NEED TO STOP ABRUPTLY HAPPENS.

I HAVE A 2017 ACCORD - IN SEPTEMBER 2019 THE BACKUP CAMERA LCD SCREEN STARTED TO FLICKER FOR A WEEK OR SO EACH TIME I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE. WHEN I CHANGED THE CAMERA ANGLE IT WOULD SOMETIMES COME BACK AND WORK WHILE BACKING UP, BUT THEN IT WENT TO A BLACK SCREEN ALTOGETHER. IT'S BEEN BLACK EVER SINCE, THE CAMERA GOES ON WHILE I REVERSE BUT NOTHING SHOWS ON THE LCD SCREEN BUT THE GUIDING YELLOW LINES. I WENT TO FIX THE CAMERA TODAY MYSELF AND NOTICED THE RECALL OF THE 2018 ACCORDS. I THINK THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH THE 2017 ACCORD. I'D LIKE TO SEE HONDA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY RATHER THAN HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $200-$350 TO FIX THIS. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. HERE IS WHAT I FOUND THAT BROUGH ME TO THIS SITE. VEHICLES RECALLED: 232,140 OF THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN AND 2019 HONDA INSIGHT HYBRID SEDAN. THE PROBLEM: THE BACKUP CAMERA MAY FAIL BECAUSE OF BAD SOFTWARE. THE FIX: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE DISPLAY AUDIO UNIT SOFTWARE, AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS. HOW TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER: THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN NOV. 5, 2018. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 888-234-2138. HONDA'S NUMBERS FOR THIS RECALL ARE K2G AND V2F. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V629

WHILE DRIVING CONDITION, SOMETIMES BREAK PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND OTHER 5 PROBLEMS SHOWING IN THE ODOMETER THAT TIME I COULDNOT HAVE CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN I PUSH BREAK PADEL , IT DOESNOT WORK. I AM FACING THIS PROBLRM COUPLE OF THE TIME. FIRST TIME HONDA DEALER RESET THE CODES, 2ND TIME THEY SUGGEST ME TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, I DID. THEN AFTER WHILE I AM FACING SAME PROBLEM. WHAT SHOULD I DO , I DONT UNDERSTAND BUT I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I COULD BE IN DANGER SOMETIMES WHILE ON HIGHWAY. NEED THE RIGHT SOLUTION BUT I STILL DONT GET THE RESULT.

BACKUP CAMERA HAS BECOME BLURRY AND UPON RESEARCH ONLINE, THERE ARE OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2018 HONDA ACCORD VEHICLES, HOWEVER, THIS RECALL NEEDS TO APPLY TO ALL HONDA'S WITH BACK UP CAMERAS BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE OWNER CANNOT SEE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE DUE TO HOW BLURRY IT IS.

IN THE SPRING OR EARLY SUMMER OF 2019, AT ABOUT THE 24,000-MILE MARK (CAR HAS ABOUT 27,000 NOW) THE STOCK TIRES/WHEELS ON MY 2017 ACCORD SPORT BEGAN MAKING A RUBBING NOISE THE FREQUENCY OF WHICH INCREASES/DECREASES PROPORTIONAL TO VEHICLE SPEED. ONE DEALER ANALYZED THE SOUND...ROTATED THE WHEELS... AND COULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID, HOWEVER, TELL ME THAT HONDA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM, AND THAT IT'S NOT DANGEROUS, AND THAT, NO, THEY WOULD NOT SWAP OUT THE TIRES OR WHEELS. AT ANOTHER NEARBY DEALER (WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MID-MARCH 2017) THE SERVICE REP ASKED "ARE YOUR TIRES CONTINENTAL?" I ANSWERED AFFIRMATIVE, AND HE ECHOED WHAT THE FIRST DEALER TOLD ME. YEP, WE KNOW ALL ABOUT IT... IT'S NOT DANGEROUS... BUT WE WON'T HELP YOU. NEITHER DEALER WOULD REPLACE THE TIRES/WHEELS. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND LOTS OF WEBSITES WITH TONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY UPSET BY THE EXACT SAME THING--RUBBING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE WHEELS/TIRES OF THEIR 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT, AND GETTING NO RESOLUTION FROM HONDA OR THE DEALERS. I AM A LONG-TIME HONDA OWNER. CUSTOMERS DON'T GET MORE LOYAL THAN US. AND I'M SO PERPLEXED WHY HONDA WON'T DO THE RIGHT THING. WHAT CAN I DO?
