2016 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF TROUBLE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED. CAR IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN WITHOUT THIS. SHE BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SINCE WE HAD TO GET TO AN EXIT I TOOK OVER. THE STEERING TAKES A LOT OF MUSCLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SMALL STEERING WHEEL. I AM GLAD I WAS WITH HER. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND HONDA HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS IN 2013. THEY GAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 100,000 MILES TO THESE VEHICLES. I EXPECT THE SAME WARRANTY EXTENSION. I HAVE OWNED HONDAS SINCE 1977 AND MANY I HAVE DRIVEN WELL BEYOND 190,000 MILES WITHOUT A PROBLEM LIKE THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE. THE AIR BAGS DID DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AWAY BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,416. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. IT TENDS TO AT TIMES TO JUST CUT OUT ACCELERATING. WHEN THAT HAPPENS I TRY TO PRESS THE PEDAL AGAIN, NADA, MILLISECONDS PASS AND THE ACCELERATOR WILL TAKE OFF AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. IT'S SCARY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO GET USED TO THE CVT. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. IT HAPPENED ONE TIME WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP. WHILE PLACING THE CAR IN GEAR, NADA.

FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS WHAT LOOK LIKE HARD WATER SPOTS AND IN THE SUNLIGHT YOU CANNOT HARDLY SEE OUT. THE DEALER HAS SAID THEY ACID CLEANED THIS AND SOME OF IT WAS REMOVED. NOW IT HAS RETURNED MAKING DRIVING INTO THE SUN IMPOSSIBLE. CAR IS ALWAYS IN GARAGE AND IT DOES NOT RAIN IN ALBUQUERQUE SO IT IS SOME KIND OF DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD GLASS. I WILL ASK THE IT BE REPLACED THIS TRIP TO DEALER AS ONLY 9500 MILES.

BLUETOOTH DEFECT. SINCE NEW PURCHASE IN 2016 VEHICLE BLUETOOTH IS NOT COMPATIBLE FOR I PHONE 7 MAKING THE HANDS FREE FUNCTION UN USABLE AND A VERY BAD DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING. THE DEALER REACTION TO ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM WAS "NOTHING WE CAN DO TILL HONDA UPDATES TECH KNOWLEDGE. FOR WHAT EVER REASON HONDA HAS NOT UPDATED SYSTEM TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH NEWER PHONE/S. I FEAR DO TO HONDAS SLOW OR NO RESPONSE TO ISSUE A TRAGEDY FOR SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WILL BE INEVITABLE, AND IT IS A SITUATION THAT HONDA OR NHTSA SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE AVOIDED WITH A SIMPLE UPDATE ON THE ACCORD, AND FROM WHAT I READ, OTHER MODELS. IF HONDA WON'T MAKE THIS RIGHT, HOPEFULLY THE NHTSA CAN FORCE THEM TO FIX THIS POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON IT OWN. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AS I HAD BRAKED TO TURN LEFT INTO THE SPACE. THE CAR WENT OVER THE CONCRETE PARKING BLOCK AND HIT THE CONCRETE WALL WHICH IS ABOUT 1-2 FEET BEHIND THE BLOCK, THE IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY BUT THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. I PURCHASED THIS ACCORD USED, IN AUGUST, 2016, FROM A LOCAL HONDA/ACURA DEALER & IT HAD APPROX. 9200 MILES ON IT.. AT THE TIME OF THIS EVENT THERE WAS 16,552 MILES ON THE CAR. THE ONLY MAINTENANCE DONE WAS AN OIL CHANGE, AND OUTSIDE OF THE TMP LIGHT, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS HAD COME ON TO PROMPT ME FOR ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR. THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS EVENT WAS SUFFICIENT THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THE CAR TO BE A TOTAL LOSS.

VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED 7 SUDDEN ACCELERATION SURGES DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING EVENTS IN WHICH THE VEHICLE IS BEING STOPPED. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE IS SLOWING TO A STOP WHEN IT WILL SUDDENLY, UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SURGE FORWARD AS THE ENGINE REVS. GIVEN THE REPEATED EVENTS THE OPERATOR MUST MAINTAIN VIGILANCE WHEN STOPPING AND BE PREPARED TO MAINTAIN FIRM AND INCREASED BRAKE PRESSURE WHEN THE EVENT OCCURS. THE VEHICLE WAS EVALUATED BY HONDA AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP. NO FAULTS OR PROBLEMS WERE IDENTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE DECLARED PROBLEM FREE. THE EVENTS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. THE EVENTS OCCUR IN PARKING AREAS. THE FIRST EVENT CAUGHT THE OPERATOR BY SURPRISE AND RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE SURGING FORWARD AND IMPACTING A SIGN AT A CURB IN A PARKING AREA IN FRONT OF A BUILDING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP ON MAY 11, 2017.

MY HONDA ACCORD V6 2016 , DURING RAIN TAKES IN WATER. THE VEHICLE STARTING DEVELOPING A FOUL ODOR INSIDE JUST AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND PUDDLES OF WATER UNDER THE REAR SEATS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO BABYLON HONDA IN NEW YORK WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR SEVEN DAYS SAW THE PUDDLES OF WATER, AND CONDUCTED TEST ON THE VEHICLE AND YIELDING NEGATIVE RESULTS. I WAS TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND WHERE THE VEHICLE IS I TAKING WATER FROM. IT'S BEEN A MONTH NOW AND THE VEHICLE IS STARTING TO DEVELOP THE SAME FOUL ODOR AGAIN. LET'S SEE WHAT HONDA HAS TO SAY NOW.

WHEN I STOP AND WANT TO TAKE OF FAST ACCELERATOR PEDAL DOES NOT RESPOND . I THINK THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES

WAS HIT ON MY PASSENGER SIDE, THE ONLY BAGS THAT WENT OFF WERE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE AND THEY DID NOT INFLATE. WAS DRIVING ON A STREET WHEN ANOTHER AUTO LOST CONTROL AND WIPED OUT THE SIDE OF MY CAR.
