2017 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

MANY NEW CARS ARE NOW EQUIPPED WITH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY DRIVERS INCLUDING MYSELF, WHO HAVE STARTED OUT DRIVING AT DUSK AND NOT REALIZED THAT THEY ARE DRIVING WITH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON ONLY. THE VEHICLES TAILLIGHTS ARE NOT OPERABLE WITH ONLY THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ACTIVATED. I JUST RECENTLY APPROACHED A VEHICLE ON A POORLY LIT ROADWAY THAT DID NOT HAVE ANY TAIL LAMPS ACTIVATED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BUILT IN DANGER WITH THE NEW VEHICLES.

THERE IS A LOUD RUBBING NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE FRONT WHEELS DURING A DRIVE AT LOW SPEEDS . ALSO I CAN FEEL THE GRINDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAN HEAR THE THUMPING NOISE WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY EVEN MORE SO NOW BECAUSE I'VE NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS WEBSITE. I HAVE 12,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAVE GONE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE EVERY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICE. A DEALER SAID THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BEADING OF THE TIRE. THEY SAY NO FIX THIS TIME AND REFUSE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEELS ARE 19 " FACTORY ORIGINAL , AND TIRES ARE FACTORY ORIGINAL CONTINENTAL CONTIPROCONTACT.

REAR CAMERA HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THE DASHBOARD SCREEN SHOWS A BLACK BACKGROUND WITH HORIZONTAL 'VIBRATING ' LINES. 2018 HONDA ACCORDS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS BUT TO DATE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THE 2017 ACCORDS ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM.

THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK I STOPPED FOR GAS, TURNED OFF MY CAR, WENT TO RESTART WHEN MY DASH STARTED GOING CRAZY AND FLICKING ON AND OFF. IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN SO MY HUSBAND HAD TO LEAVE WORK AND COME JUMP ME, WE DROVE IT HOME, IT SAT FOR 3 MINS THEN TRIED TO START IT AGAIN WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WE DECIDED TO LET THE CAR STAY PLUGGED INTO A TRICKLE BATTERY CHARGER ALL DAY WHILE I WENT TO WORK. AFTER WE GOT HOME, WE DECIDED TO TEST IT, AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. WE WERE ABLE TO TURN IT ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT HESITATION ALL UNTIL WE LET 5 MINS PASS IN BETWEEN STARTS WHEN THE FLICKERING OF THE DARK BEGAN AGAIN AND THE CAR REFUSED TO START. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES ON IT, THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WHEN SO MANY USERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN WE GOT HOME WE CHECKED THE BATTERY AND IT WAS READING 12VOLTZ. WE HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE FROM SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS BEING DONE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

ON 9-12-2019, MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITH HER 2017 HONDA ACCORD. SHE TURNED INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A LOCAL FUNERAL HOME, STOPPED AND WAS ABOUT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED, SURGING FORWARD OVER THE CURB, DOWN THE LANDSCAPED BANK, OVER ANOTHER CURB, CROSSED OVER A 2 LANE ROAD, OVER A CURB INTO A FAST FOOD ENTRANCE, OFF THE CURB, CONTINUING FORWARD AND HIT THE RIGHT REAR CLIP OF A CAR IN THE DRIVE THRU, OVER ANOTHER CURB AND FINALLY STOPPED AFTER HITTING A TREE. THE BREAKS DID NOT SLOW OR STOP THE CAR. THE CAR TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET BEFORE STRIKING THE TREE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO ALL OF THE DAMAGE UNDERNEATH. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO MY HONDA DEALER ON 9-13-19. THEY GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO THEIR NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS. HONDA SENT FIELD REPS OUT TO EXAMINE THE CAR AND TRY TO PULL ANY DATA. ON 10/10/19 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HONDA STATING NO ISSUES FOUND. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET I FOUND OVER 150 ISSUES WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH HONDA. THIS REOCCURRING ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE IT RESULTS INTO SOMEONE DYING .

LAST NIGHT I HAD JUST GOTTEN HOME FROM WORKED AND GONE IN THE HOUSE TO CHANGE FOR CHURCH. LESS THAN 5 MINUTES LATER, I RETURNED TO MY CAR AND WHEN TRYING TO START IT, IT WOULD START UP. LIGHTS FLICKERED ON DASH, BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. HAD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE COME TO JUMP START CAR. LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. CAR WON'T START AFTER DRIVING THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON ALREADY. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HIS HAPPENED THIS YEAR, WITH IN A FEW MONTHS. CAR HAS LESS THAT 50K MILES. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE IF I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.

REAR VIEW CAMERA GOES BLANK OR COMPLETELY DARK INTERMITTENTLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK (P) TO REVERSE GEAR (R). HAVE TO STOP THE CAR, SWITCH OFF THE IGNITION, RESTART THE CAR TO MAKE THE BACK UP CAMERA WORK AGAIN.

2017 HONDA ACCORD SE (SPECIAL EDITION) WITH CONTINENTAL P235/40R19 TIRES SUDDENLY WITH 22K MILES BEGAN TO MAKE WHAT SEEMS TO BE A METAL TO METAL NOISE AT LOW SPEEDS. DEALER STATED TIRE BEAD IS DEFECTIVE AND TENDS TO NOT SEAL WITH 19IN FACTORY RIMS. APPARENTLY LOWERING THE TIRE PRESSURE FROM 51PSI TO 40PS/I MAKES /PROBLEM OR NOISE GO AWAY. IN MY CASE THE NOISE RETURNED A WEEK AFTER DEALERSHIP (HONDA WORLD, WESTMINSTER, CA) ADDED TIRE BEAD SEALANT TO FRONT LEFT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE IN TORRANCE, CA ON 9/27/19 WHO REPORTED TIRES WERE NOT COVERED IN 36K WARRANTY. THIS COULD ALSO BE A WHEEL/RIM PROBLEM OR OTHER SUSPENSION PROBLEM. THE RIM AND TIRES APPARENTLY ARE TO HEAVY FOR CAR. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH THESE TIRES AND RIMS FROM FACTORY. IT IS RARE THAT A TIRE WILL PRODUCE A METAL ON METAL GRINDING NOISE. IT IS MY EXPECTATION THAT THE NTSB TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUS AS IT PRESENTS A SERIOUS ISSUE IF TIRE BLOWS UP OR TIRE BEAD DEFORMS. THE DEALER DECLINED TO FIX PROBLEMS AND BLAMED ISSUE ON TIRES. THEY SUGGESTED I PURCHASE ANOTHER TIRE. ONE TIRE COSTS APPROXIMATELY $250.00 DOLLARS. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING CONTINENTAL TIRE IN SOUTH CAROLINA TO ADDRESS ISSUE ALSO. FINALLY AS YOU MAY BE ALREADY AWARE THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2016-17 HONDA ACCORD OWNER. *TR

REPLACED THE FACTORY BATTERY IN 8/19 AND THEN AGAIN 9/24/19. THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT ON IN THE CAR THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DIE AND ALTERNATOR IS CHARGING CORRECTLY PER TECHNICIAN. IS THERE A KNOWN ISSUED WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED AN INJURED RIGHT WRIST AND SHOULDER, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GERMAIN HONDA (3295 PINE RIDGE RD, NAPLES, FL), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. A MANUFACTURER'S REPRESENTATIVE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND THE OWNER'S CLAIM WAS DENIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.
