2016 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FAILING TWICE IN TWO YEARS. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY ISSUE SINCE THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT $1200 EACH.. THIS IS ADVERTISED UNDER THE SAFETY FEATURES SECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE LED DRL'S FAILING AND A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVING WITHOUT THEM WORKING

ON MONDAY, MAY 14, 2018, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND A VERY SCARY SITUATION HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY TIGHTENED UP AND I FELT, AS THOUGH I WAS NO LONGER IN CONTROL OF MY CAR. I SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. I MANAGED TO DRIVE TO A HONDA DEARER.

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FAILED AFTER THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS FLICKERING AND HOT, THIS ISSUE STARTED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE OUT. I CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND TO CONTACT THE DEALER. THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT SAFETY FEATURE. I DID A RESEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM CONCERN THAT THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A FIRE.

WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL, SQUEAKING COMING FROM BRAKES. HAD BRAKES CHECKED, AND THERE IS NO WEAR WHICH REQUIRES BRAKE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE OF THE TAB GETTING OFF IT'S RESTING PLACE AND CAUSING AN ERRONEOUS SQUEAKING. EVERYTIME WE ASK THE DEALER ABOUT IT, THEY SAY THEY CANNOT REPLICATE. WHEN YOU DO A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH, THE ISSUE IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE PLACE. THUS, HONDA IS AWARE AND IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE.

BACK IN SEPT 2017, MY DRIVERS SIDE DRL LED STRIP WENT OUT, AND HONDA REPLACED IT, BUT CHARGED ME A DEDUCTIBLE OF $100. AROUNG MAY FIRST, 2018, MY PASSENGER SIDE DRL LED STRIP WENT OUT, AND HONDA IS SAYING THAT THE FIRST ONE WAS A COURTESY, BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE REPAIR THIS TIME. LOOKING UP DIFFERENT ACCORD FORUMS, THE 2016 MODEL SEEMS TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE DRL LED STRIPS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE LIGHT, BUT HONDA IS CLAIMING THAT NO ONE HAS REPORTED THE ISSUE AT ALL, AND MY ISSUE IS DUE TO ME DRIVING FROM MILWAUKEE, TO CHICAGO EVERYDAY FOR WORK. LIGHTS ARE NOT WEAR AND TEAR PARTS, SO SHOULD NOT BE IMPACTED BY DRIVING 60 MILES IN EACH DIRECTION. HONDA IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN OBVIOUS DEFECT, AND REQUIRING PEOPLE TO PAY WELL OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE FULL HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM WOULD BE DEACTIVATED, BUT WOULD INDEPENDENTLY REACTIVE WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 65 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE GAUGES AND WARNING INDICATORS WOULD FLICKER ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. FAILURE MILAGE WAS 10,000. *TT

AROUND 1 PM ON APR 20, 2018 WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN IT ACCELERATED AT VERY HIGH SPEED RPM WHEN I TRIED TO PUT GEAR FROM PARKING TO DRIVE... IT ACCELERATED SO HIGH I WAS SCARED TO DEATH...AND I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF.. WAITED FEW MINTUTES AND STARTED AGAIN AND DO NO HAVE THE PROBLEM ANYMORE.. CALLED HONDA 888-234-2138 ON APR 21 2018 AND THEY SAID TO MAKE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER.. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER FOR APR 24 2018 AT 8:00 AM AT VIP HONDA IN NORTH PLAINFIELD NJ.. THEY SAID THEY WILL CHARGE ME $125.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR IT IF THEY DO NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH IT.. I TOLD THEM I HAVE ABOUT 19K MILES AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED.. THEY SAID NO THEY HAVE TO CHARGE IF THEY DO NOT FIND ANY FAULT... AS IT COULD BE COMPUTER GLITCH WHICH CANNOT BE REPLICATED EXACT CONDITION I HAD TO LEAVE THERE WITHOUT PAYING ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC FEE.. CALLED HONDA COMAPNY AGAIN AND THEY SAID THATS RIGHT DEALER WILL CHARGE FEE IF NOTHING FOUND.. IS,NT IT TERRIBLE IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM THEY WANT ME TO CHARGE FOR TIME... GOT DIAGNOSTIC CODE READER FROM WALMART AND THAT CODE READER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ANYTHING... I AM SCARED TO DRIVE AS THERE IS NO ERROR CODE AND CAR HAD ACCEELRATED HIGH SPEED AND IT COULD HAPPEN.. WHO IS AT RESPONSIBEL FOR THIS ? AND PLEASE LET OTHER PEOPLE KNOW IT COULD HAPPEN TO THEM AND NOT EVERYTHING HAS ERROR CODE AT RIGHT TIME...
