2017 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER KEEPS FALLING OUT. ALSO, EVERY TIME WHEN I USE THE WIPERS ONLY HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS CLEANED PRIOR TO THE WIPER FALLING OUT OF THE HOLDER. IF I AM IN TOWN AND NOTICE THE WIPER I WILL GET OUT AT A STOP LIGHT TO FIX IT BUT MOST OF THE TIME I AM DRIVING AT 65 OR MORE WHEN THE WIPER FALLS OUT OF THE HOLDER. THIS HAPPENS EVERY WEEK SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BUMPER STARTED TO MELT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DUBLIN HONDA, 6300 DUBLIN BLVD, DUBLIN, CA 94568), WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE BUMPER REPAIRS BUT STILL THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,661.

WHEN CAR IS RUNNING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE AND THEN STATIONARY (OUTSIDE IN THE DRIVEWAY) WITH THE CABIN AIR ON, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS COMING INTO THE CABIN AND IS VERY NOTICEABLE. I TOOK MY BABY DAUGHTER OUT FOR A DRIVE TO GET HER TO FALL ASLEEP AND WHEN I REACHED HOME I USUALLY SIT WITH HER IN THE CAR WHILE IT RUNS, BUT THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT I HAD TO WAKE HER AND REMOVE HER FROM THE CAR. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TODAY (01/29/18) WHO NOTED NO GAS LEAKS AND STATED THAT GAS GAP WAS NOT AS TIGHT AS IT COULD BE, BUT IT SEEMS IMPROBABLE THAT IT WOULD CAUSE THAT MUCH OF A SMELL IN THE CABIN. SEEING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR HONDA CR-V AND FEEL LIKE THE DEALER COULD DO MORE EXPLORATION, BUT DIDN'T SO THEY COULD NOT DO FURTHER EXPLORATION OF THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT SMELL THE GASOLINE BUT SOMETHING ELSE AND SAID IT WAS "OFF GASSING OF THE INTERNAL ENGINE COMPARTMENT CHEMICALS". BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I COULD SMELL GASOLINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, IT UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO A TREE.

THE VEHICLE I OWNED IS 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING. PROBLEM I DISCOVERED WAS CENTER CONSOLE SILVER STRIPE (PASSENGER SIDE) POP UP. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP HAVE IT FIXED. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY MONTH, AND I AM GETTING TRIED TO FIX IT EVERY MONTH. THE SILVER STRIPE PIECE IS SHARP, COULD POSSIBLY CUT YOUR FINGER OR SKIN. I OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A YEAR, LIKE NEW, WITH LESS THAN 3K MILES ON IT.

THEN MANUAL STATES THE AIR BAG WILL GO OFF AT UNDER 65 LBS. MY 85 LB. GRANDSON, WEIGHED JANUARY 9, 2018, MAKES THE AIR BAG GO OFF WHEN HE SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING BUT STATIONERY. THE LIGHT OFF STAYS LITE THE WHOLE TIME HE IS IN THE SEAT. I HAVE GONE ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. MY DEALER JUST TELLS ME THAT THE GRANDSON SHOULD SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. CAN THIS BE FIXED TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG FOR THE OVER 65 LB. LIMIT?

WE FINANCED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT CVT ON JULY 17, 2017. WE HAVE NOTICED VARIOUS ISSUES WITH THE LAG/HESITATION UPON ACCELERATING AS WELL AS BRAKING AND STEERING. WE SEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REVOLVING AROUND THIS MODEL VEHICLE. LESS THAN 11,000 MILES, WE NOTICED THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKES WERE GETTING REALLY LOW AND WEARING UNEVENLY COMPARED TO THE OTHER THREE, I.E. SCREECHING; WHICH WAS ODD AND CONCERNING SINCE IT HAD 11,000 MILES AND ONLY ONE SIDE WAS WORN DOWN. DECEMBER 2017, THE PASSENGER FRONT BRAKES BECAME SO LOW, WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THERE WAS A METAL ON METAL, GRINDING NOISE. WE VISUALLY INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND COULD SEE THE BRAKE PADS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WERE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT, AS WELL AS THE WEAR ON THE ROTORS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 12-12-17 AND THEY CLAIMED THE BRAKE PADS WERE WEARING EVENLY/NORMAL; THE OTHER SERVICE STATION AT THIS LOCATION AGREED THAT ITS NOT NORMAL FOR THE CAR THE HAVE LESS THAN 12000 MILES FOR THE FIRST BRAKE PADS TO BE CHANGED LET ALONE WORN UNEVENLY. THE CONCERN WASN'T THE BRAKE PADS BEING CHANGED, IT IS THE MECHANICAL FUNCTION OF THE PISTON AND CALIPER WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, OR ANOTHER UNDERLYING ISSUE; HAVING LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ISN'T RIGHT. THEY DIDN'T CARE, THOUGHT WE WANTED BRAKES CHANGED FOR FREE. WE FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA REGARDING THE SAFETY AND WEAR OF THE BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS,TURNED THE ROTATORS. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE AND THE PISTON GETTING "HUNG" MAY BE THE UNDERLINING REASON FOR WHY THE CAR LAGS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IF IT IS DEPRESSED, ITS POSSIBLE THE BRAKES ARE WEARING DOWN WHILE ACCELERATING. SAFETY IS OUR FIRST CONCERN, AND WE FEEL THERE IS A DEEPER PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. WILL SPEAK IN FURTHER DETAIL REGARDING THESE AND OTHER ISSUES.

TAKATA RECALL MY PASSENGER AIRBAG CONSOLE WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT STAYS ON SOMETIMES AND GOES OFF SOMETIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. THEY TELL ME THE LIGHT WASN'T ON WHEN THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND TO BRING IT BACK. I TOLD THEM TO CHECK IT OUT AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE, THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THEY HAVE MORE TIME TO CHECK IT OUT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT BACK WHEN IT CAME BACK ON, BUT IT WENT BACK OFF AGAIN! SO BASICALLY THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE LIGHT ISN'T ON! BUT WHEN I'M ON THE WAY TO DEALER IT IS ON. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS HAS BEEN GOIN ON FOR ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS NOW. I LEASED THE VEHICLE MARCH 2017
