2017 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

PASSENGER SIDE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT STOPPED WORKING APPROX 50K MILES WENT TO BIGISLAND HONDA THE PARTS DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE QUOTED ME $2K $1500 FOR THE LIGHT AND $500 TO INSTALL THAN SOON AFTER IDLER TENSIONER STARTED MAKING A WEIRD GRINDING NOISE WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THESE 2 PROBLEMS AND BOTH ARE VERY COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THESE MODEL HONDA ACCORDS OTHER THAN THESE PROBLEMS THIS IS A GREAT CAR BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER BUY A HONDA ACCORD AGAIN BASICALLY LEFT STRANDED WITH NO HELP FROM THE BIGISLAND HONDA THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME I'M SORRY IT'S WAY OUT OF THE WARRANTY MILEAGE AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I GOOGLED TO SEE HOW MUCH PEOPLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE IT'S LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH HONDA ACCORDS. HONDA SHOULD STEP UP THERE GAME OR THERE GOING TO LOOSE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS OVER THE NEXT UPCOMING YEARS. HONDA OF AMERICA PLEASE PUT A RECALL AND FIX THESE ISSUES BEFORE IT TURNS INTO A EPIDEMIC THANKS.

WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE, IN MOTION, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY FOR NO REASON. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN BOTH CITY STREET & HIGHWAY DRIVING AS WELL. THE CMBS SYSTEM HAS ALSO FULLY ACTIVATED BY ITSELF A FEW TIMES, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, RESULTING IN THE BRAKES LOCKING UP COMPLETELY. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MY BEING HIT FROM BEHIND AS I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM MORE THAN ONCE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. APPARENTLY THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SYSTEM ACTIVATES I FEEL VERY UNSAFE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2017. *THE DATE SELECTED BELOW IS THE FIRST OF MANY OCCURRENCES, TO INCLUDE JUST YESTERDAY*

REAR VIEW CAMERA GLITCHES THEN WENT BLACK. VERY SHORT INTERMITTENT ON, BUT THEN GLITCHES AND SCREEN GOES BLACK AGAIN. NOW THE SCREEN STAYS BLACK WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE OR TRY DIFFERENT ANGLES. CLEAN LENS AND NO OBSTRUCTIONS.

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, WARNINGS STARTED POPPING UP ON THE DRIVER DISPLAY LISTING NUMEROUS FAILURES AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. (THERE WERE ABOUT HALF A DOZEN ERRORS BUT I DIDN'T CATCH THEM ALL ... "ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM', 'BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM", "VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM", "COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM", "ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM", ETC. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES OVER THE NEXT 15 MINUTES AS WE TRIED TO MAKE OUR WAY HOME. LUCKILY WE WERE ON LOCAL ROADS AT LOWER SPEEDS'LESS THAN 40.THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED MY HUSBAND WAS BREAKING WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT ABOUT 5-10 MPH BUT WE BARELY STOPPED IN TIME. THERE WAS A VERY MINIMAL STOPPING POWER. WE TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED HONDA. THE REP SAID 'YES THAT WAS A RANDOM PROBLEM AND TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED.' HOWEVER IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES ON THAT OUTING. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I USE IT OFTEN TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDKIDS.

IN THE FIRST SEVERAL WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP, I NOTICE A SLIGHT VIBRATION INSIDE THE CAR--FLOORBOARD, STEERING WHEEL, DASH BOARD--WHEN THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS TURNED ON WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. IT WAS FAINT AT FIRST, BUT THE VIBRATION HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE VIBRATION SEEMS MORE EXAGGERATED WHEN THE BLOWER AND A/C ARE ON TOGETHER, BUT THE VIBRATION IS STILL PRESENT WITH ONLY THE BLOWER MOTOR ON WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I DON'T RECALL ANY SOUND WITH THE VIBRATION. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE VIBRATION WAS WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT. I TURNED THE BLOWER MOTOR ON FOR HEAT OR OUTSIDE AIR WHEN I NOTICED A FAINT VIBRATION AS I SAT IDLING, AT A STOP LIGHT. NOW, WHEN THE BLOWER MOTOR IS USED WITH VENTILATION, A/C, HEAT, ETC., THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR EMITS A DISTINCT VIBRATION UNTIL THE BLOWER MOTOR IS TURNED OFF. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, I HAVE TURNED THE BLOWER MOTOR ON AND THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE VIBRATION, SO THE BLOWER MOTOR VIBRATION APPEARS TO BE LINKED TO THE RUNNING ENGINE.

MY CAR BRAKING SYSTEM AND ALL THE SAFETY SYSTEMS STOPPED FUNCTIONING ON MY CAR WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (GARDEN STATE PARKWAY SOUTH) THIS MORNING, 3/15/2019. MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AT ALL. WHEN IT INITIALLY STARTED TO SHOW THE ERROR MESSAGES I TRIED TO USE THE BRAKES AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR ACCELERATED. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO ALLOW MY CAR TO SLOW DOWN NATURALLY AND GET OFF AT A REST STOP (MONMOUTH REST AREA, AND FORCE PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO A STOP AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK. IT WAS REALLY A SCARY SITUATION ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY TO HAVE YOUR BRAKES NOT WORK AT ALL. I WAS ADVISED IT COULD BE A LIE BATTERY INDICATOR OF THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM THAT IS ALL CONNECTED TO EVEN THE BRAKES. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS THAT AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH OR MALFUNCTION CAN COMPLETELY DISABLE MY BRAKING SYSTEM AND ALL OTHER SAFETY FEATURES.

AUTOMOBILE WILL JUST STOP STARTING. AFTER JUMP STARTING, IT WILL OPERATE FINE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THEN PROBLEM WILL RESURFACE.

THERE HAVE BEEN THREE INSTANCES OF TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. INITIAL INSTANCE OCCURED ON VEHICLE STARTUP, A NUMBER OF ERRORS WERE GIVEN INCLUDING "AADAPTIVE CRUISE CONRTOL PROBLEM","COLLISSION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM","ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM" AND "BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM". WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN MOVING FORWARD. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE HONDA BLAMED THE ISSUE ON THE UNDERCAOTING CAUSING COMPONENTS TO OVERHEAT. THIS WAS OCTOBER 2018 IN PHILADELPHIA. REPLACED BRAKE SYSTEM AND REMOVED UNDERCOAT ON AFFECTED AREAS. SECOND INSTANCE OCCURED IN FEBRUARY 2019 IT HAD STOPPED RAINING BUT ROAD WAS STILL WET AND HAD PUDDLES. DRIVING DOWNTOWN, AT A YELLOW LIGHT BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, I RAN THE LIGHT AND WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE. CAR WAS GIVING THE SAME SET OF ERRORS. THIS TIME RESTARTING THE CAR MADE ERRORS GO AWAY. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO DID NOTHING ELSE. THIRD INSTANCE WAS FEBRUARY 2ND, WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30-40 MPH, AGAIN EITHER AFTER RAIN HAD STOPPED OR STILL HAD A SLIGHT DRIZZLE. THIS TIME I SAW THE ERRORS WHILE DRIVING BEFORE I NEEDED TO BREAK AND RECOGNIZED THE ISSUE. MANAGED TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PULL OVER. AGAIN RESTARTING THE CAR CLEARED THE ISSUE, I HAVE NOT BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER YET.

ON 2/28/19 @5:15 PM GOT IN MY CAR STARTED IT UP AND WHEN I DID EVERYTHING IN THE VIDEO WAS HAPPENING SO I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO BUTLER HONDA IN MILLEDGEVILLE GA WHERE THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND STATED THAT IT WAS CAMERA'S MALFUNCTIONING AND THAT THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW CAMERA. ON FRIDAY WHICH WAS 3/1/19. AND THEY WILL GIVE ME A CALL ON MONDAY.. AND THAT MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE I HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I JUST PRAY AND HOPE SO

CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND WOULD BREAKS WOULD NOT ENGAGE CAR HAD TO BE TURNED OFF TO STOP
