2016 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

A TIRE OF MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD EXL BLEW WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING. THE TIRE SPECIFICS: (215/55 R17 ASSURANCE FUEL FLEX). I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE AT MY EXPENSE.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ON A CLEAR DAY, FULL VISIBILITY, THERE WAS A CAR SEVERAL CAR LENGTHS AHEAD OF US TURNING RIGHT. IT CLEARED THE WAY WITHOUT US NEEDING TO BREAK. WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH AT AROUND 2PM. OUR VEHICLE THOUGHT THERE WAS STILL A HAZARD IN THE ROAD. WE HAVE A SENSING PACKAGE IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED OUR CAR TO COME TO A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP, ENGAGING THE SEAT BELTS AS WELL. WE HAVE FULL VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE INCIDENT FROM A THIRD PARTY DASH CAM. WE WERE ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THINKING THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT, IT WAS RETURNED, SAYING THAT THE CAR WORKED AS INTENDED. HAVING BEEN IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME, AND I DISAGREE, AND AM NOW EXTREMELY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. WHILE I HAVE NO PICTURES, I HAVE FULL VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT, AND WILL GLADLY PROVIDE IT UPON REQUEST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. ZIMBRICK HONDA (1601 W BELTLINE HWY, MADISON, WI 53713, (608) 273-2555) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

#1 ISSUE ON SEP 23 2017 WE WERE GOING DOWN AN INCLINE, IN THE CITY, APPLYING THE BRAKES AND GOING ABOUT 25MPH WHEN THE ENGINE ACCELERATED. WE WERE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. HE APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. AFTER THE INITIAL SHOCK MY HUSBAND THOUGHT TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND WE WERE ABLE TO STOP. WE TOOK OUR CAR INTO OUR HONDA DEALER. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY STATED THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. HONDA HAD OUR CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND DROVE 54MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. WE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND GOT A CASE NUMBER. THEY CALLED US TO TELL US THEY HAD CONTACTED OUR HONDA DEALER AND THEY AGREED NOTHING WAS FOUND SO OUR CAR DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. #2 ISSUE THE FIRST WEEK AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR HONDA IN JANUARY 2016 THE COMPASS WENT OUT. HONDA SERVICE PUT IN A NEW SENDING UNIT. IN SEP 2017 THE COMPASS AND FUEL MPG READOUT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLANK. THIS HAPPENED ALONG WITH THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM THAT WE STATED ABOVE.. WE TOOK IT INTO FOR REPAIR AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY WOULD NOT DO ANY REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR. THEN, ON OCT 24TH THE COMPASS AND THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. THE RADIO CAME BACK ON WITHIN A MINUTE, BUT THE COMPASS DID NOT WORK ACCURATELY AGAIN FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WE HAVE SEND AN EMAIL TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND ARE WAITING FOR A REPLY. OUR CAR HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT..

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, FIRST TIME FOR THE DAY, TOP AND BOTTOM CENTER DISPLAY TOUCH SCREENS WENT BLACK AND THERE IS NO FUNCTIONALITY OF ANY OF THE ASSOCIATED FUNCTIONS: NO NAVIGATION, NO BLUE TOOTH, NO BACK-UP CAMERA, NO SIDE VIEW CAMERA WHEN TURNING. THIS IS A REPEATED ISSUE. DOES NOT RESET.

DRIVING THROUGH IOWA IN LATE JULY 2017 TRAVELING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE 80 AT 65 MPH SUNROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. SHADE WAS CLOSED SO GLASS ACCUMULATED THERE. PHOTOS SHOW BROKEN GLASS AND TAP & PLASTIC COVERING SUNROOF WHILE WE CONTINUED TO BOISE, WHERE GLASS WAS REPLACED.

I HAVE A 2016 HONDA ACCORD SPORT THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. A FRIEND HAD NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE'S LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WAS ONLY HALF-LIT. I TOOK IT TO MY HONDA DEALER AND IT WAS IMMEDIATELY NOTICEABLE THAT THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND IMMEDIATELY SAID IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS CLOCKED 42,200 MILES AND WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING ON MY CAR I NOTICED TWO OTHER HONDA ACCORD WITH THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM; DRIVER-SIDE'S LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WAS ONLY HALF-LIT. THEY HAVE TO ORDER AN ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT; NOT JUST THE LED STRIP PORTION AND IT WILL COST OVER $500. THIS IS A MATTER OF A FAULTY AND CHEAP LED LIGHTING SYSTEM AND IS A HAZARD FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT.

LED LIGHTS ARE OUT AGAIN SINCE MY CAR REACH 45000 MILES IT NO LONGER COVERED. I HAD MY CAR SINCE FEB. 2017 IT HAD 21000 MILES WITHIN 8 MOS ITS SHOWS I PUT 30000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE 5 OIL CHANGES SINCE FEB. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THIS MOTOR I LIVE IN MS AND HAVE DROVE TO TEXAS MAYBE 3 TIMES.

WHEN I TURN THE DEFROSTER ON THE RADIO TURNS TO STATIC. ENGINE THEN REVS UP EXTREMELY HIGH. THE VEHICLE WILL DO THIS STATIONARY OR MOVING AND IN A DRIVEWAY, ON A HIGHWAY AND IN THE CITY AND WHILE TURNING. IT WAS REAR ENDED JULY 24, 2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 3:30 PM WITH ROUGHLY $1,000 IN DAMAGES.

LED DAYTIME LIGHTS /REPLACED DRIVER SIDE AT 17,000 MILES NOW PASSENGER SIDE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 27,000 MILES THIS ITEM COST ALONE IS $1300 EACH MAKING IT $2600 TO REPLACE THIS AMOUNT DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. I BELIEVE HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THE LED LIGHTS AND REPLACE... THIS WILL NOT BE FAIR TO OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ONCE THEY REACH 36,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY IS NOW VOID.....
