2017 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL/TIRE HAS A GRINDING NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE BAD WHEEL BEARING. MAINLY HEARD AT LOW SPEEDS BUT IS GETTING LOUDER OVER TIME. HONDA SAYS IT IS THE CONTINENTAL TIRES. TIRE SHOP PUT DIFFERENT WHEELS AND TIRES ON THE CAR AND THE NOISE DID NOT GO AWAY. THE NOISE DOES NOT FOLLOW THE TIRES, TIRE SHOP SPIN BALANCES THE TIRES ON THE CAR. THEY SAID THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL IS MAKING A ROARING GRINDING NOISE. THIS IS WITH THE WHEEL AND TIRE OFF THE GROUND. HOW CAN TIRES MAKE A METAL GRINDING NOISE. HONDA DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM

TAMARA RECALL - SOMETIMES BUT NOT ALL THERE IS HESITATION WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. OCCASIONALLY THIS WILL HAPPEN WITH RIGHT HAND TURNS BUT NOT AS OFTEN. I HAD COGGIN HONDA IN ST AUGUSTINE CHECK THE PROBLEM OUT BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A DRIVER ERROR.

BATTERY DIED AFTER LESS THAN 2 YEARS OF USE. NEEDED TO REPLACE. NO ELECTRICAL USE OF THE VEHICLE, PEP BOYS SAYS ITS A COMMON ISSUE WITH NEW HONDAS. NEEDED TO TOW CAR AND DANGEROUSLY TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHEN THE BATTERY DIED.

BLIND SPOT ASSIST CAMERA IS A DISTRACTION AND FLICKERS DUE TO OTHER VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT. HUGE DISTRACTION CAN BE DANGEROUS, NOT AN EFFECTIVE SAFETY FEATURE. DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOESN'T CLOSE. EVEN AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW STARTS TO CLOSE AND HALF WAY REOPENS. ALL WINDOWS CLOSE NOTICEABLY SLOWER. DEALERSHIP CAN'T REPLICATE ISSUE SO NO REPAIR. STILL HAVE THE ISSUE, EVEN WHEN PARKED THE WINDOW DOESN'T CLOSE.

MY HONDA ACCORD 2017 4 CYN ALL OF DASH BOARD LIGHTS LIT UP, THE STEERING WHEEL PARTIALLY LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING GOING 55 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND COULDN'T CUT THE CAR OFF WITH MY START BUTTON. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY CUT IT CUT OFF. THEN IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. THEN AFTER ANOTHER 5 MINUTES IT STARTED AND I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP JANUARY 2019. ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS EARLIER, MY CAR WOULD START AT ALL. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY TOLD ME ONLY THING IT MIGHT BE WAS THE BATTERY, I BOUGHT A BATTERY AND MY CAR WAS ONLY 11 MONTHS OLD. RECENTLY, FEBRUARY 2019, NOW MY BATTERY IS 7 MONTHS OLD, MY CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN. THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, BUT I AM HAVING ISSUES. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I START MY CAR AND THE DASH LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON AND I HOLD THE BUTTON ON THE DASH AND THE SYSTEM REBOOT AND THE DASH LIGHT COME ON. MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW IT IS STARTING, BUT THE SAID EVERYTHING IS REGISTERING THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE AN HUGE ISSUE BECAUSE I CAN'T BE STRAINED IN THIS COLD WINTER WEATHER AND MY CAR NOT STARTING. THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE I WAS IN MOTION LESS THAN A MONTH AGO ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH AND MY CAR FROZE IN MOTION. CJB FEBRUARY 2019

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL, WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP I TRIED TO ROLL UP MY WINDOW IT WENT HALF WAY UP AND THAN CAME BACK DOWN, I TRIED THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN FRONT OF 3 SERVICE MEN, THEY SAID THAT'S STRANGE I SAID I KNOW THIS JUST HAPPENED. SO OF COURSE WHEN I DROPPED OFF ME CAR THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY IT WOULD NOT DO THAT FOR THEM, BUT OF COURSE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF BY THAN. SO WHEN MY CAR WAS DOWN I LET THE DEALERSHIP WENT INTO THE STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT ALL MY WINDOWS WERE HALF WAY DOWN AND MY SUNROOF WAS CRACKED OPEN. I CALL MY SERVICE GUY AND EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT HAPPENED, SO THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MY CAR BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND OF COURSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR THEM..THE SERVICE MAN SAID WELL IF YOU HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON ALL YOUR WINDOWS WILL OPEN I SAID THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE I WAS IN THE STORE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THERE WAS NO WAS I COULD HAVE OPENED IT! SO NOW IT'S JUST A WAIT AND SEE TO SEE IF IT HAPPENDS A THIRD TIME!

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS THE CAR WOULD NOT START WITHOUT REQUIRING A JUMP FOR THE BATTERY. THEN IT WOULD RUN, BUT ONCE THE CAR WAS OFF AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED IT WOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER JUMP. HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. (IT STARTED THERE NO PROBLEM). IT RAN FINE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, BUT CURRENTLY ITS PARKED AND WON'T START. THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT DISPLAYED WAS THE EPS WHICH TURNED OFF SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR STARTED.

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY DEALER STATING THAT MY CAR IS UNDER RECALL FOR A FUEL PUMP ISSUE; HOWEVER, I CAN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT SUCH A RECALL.

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6 AT A DEALERSHIP IN DULUTH GEORGIA. WE TRADED A 2007 HONDA ACCORD AFTER HAVING HAD AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE WITH IT. THIS NEARLY NEW VEHICLE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE 2007. IT IS MOSTLY GOOD BUT I DISCOVERED WHAT I CONSIDER A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED, TO REDUCE SPEED OR COME TO A FULL STOP, THERE IS NEARLY A HALF SECOND DELAY AFTER LIFTING YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL BEFORE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMES FUNCTIONAL. IF YOU HAPPENED TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PRIOR TO THE END OF THE DELAY, THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD AND YOU COULD IMPACT THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF YOU, OR IF YOU ARE MOVING FORWARD AND BRAKE AGAIN TO OFFSET THE FORWARD LURCH, THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU COULD ASSUME YOU WERE MOVING FORWARD AND REAR END YOU BECAUSE YOU BRAKED UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS SITUATION COULD ALSO BE A PROBLEM WHEN STOPPED ON A HILL EITHER UP OR DOWN. THE DELAY CREATES A MOMENT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF CONTROL AND UNSAFE. THE FIX COULD POSSIBLE BE TO REDUCE THE TIME OF THE LAG OR ELIMINATE THE LAG SITUATION COMPLETELY IN THE COMPUTER MODULE. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS CONCERN!

HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX] MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT SPECIAL EDITION THAT IS EQUIPPED WITH 19 INCH RIMS AND CONTINENTAL TIRES IN MARCH OF 2017 WITH 5 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE TIRES ARE RUBBING PART OF THE SUSPENSION CREATING FRICTION THAT COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF SIDE WALL THUS HAVING A BLOW OUT. THIS ISSUE IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND MANY OTHER LIVES AT RISK. I HAVE MADE HONDA AWARE OF THIS ISSUE NUMEROUS TIMES AT THE HONDA WORLD DEALERSHIP LOCATED ON HURSTBOURNE LANE IN LOUISVILLE KY. AFTER NUMEROUS VISITS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, ADDITIONAL AIR WAS PUMPED IN THE TIRE AND THE TIRES WERE ROTATED. WHICH SOLVES NOTHING... WHICH IS A BANDAID. IF YOU SEARCH YOUTUBE OR THE WEB, YOU WILL FIND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER WHOM HAS MADE HONDA AWARE OF THIS ISSUE OR IS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THESE OTHER CONSUMERS WHO ARE SUFFERING WITH THIS SAME POTENTIAL DISASTER COULD PUT HONDA ON THE HOOK FOR SEVERE PROBLEMS. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT HONDA WORLD DIRECTED ME TO CALL HONDA CORPORATE AND WHILE SPEAKING WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR. THE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED THAT A MANAGER NOR A "HIGHER UP" WAS AVAILABLE FOR ME TO SPEAK WITH. A FEW DAYS LATER, I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL FROM CASE MANAGER, [XXX] AT HONDA WHO INFORMED ME THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE TIRE BRAND AND RIM COMBINATION. AT THIS TIME, MY REQUEST FOR FOUR DIFFERENT BRAND TIRES THAT WILL NOT IMPACT MY SUSPENSION ON MY VEHICLE WAS DENIED. SHE INFORMED ME THAT IF I WANT TO PURCHASE FOUR NEW TIRES, I CAN DO SO. CLEARLY PUTTING THE DEFECT BACK IN THE CONSUMERS LAP TO FIX. I SUPPOSE IF WE START HAVING BLOW OUTS ON HONDA ACCORD AND FATALITIES START TO RISE DUE TO THIS KNOWN ISSUE, HONDA MIGHT THINK IT IS COST EFFECTIVE TO FIX THE KNOWN ISSUE.
