WITHOUT WARNING COMPLETE POWER STEERING LOSS ON HIGHWAY EXIT. CAR FIXED AT DEALER, STEERING FAILURE AGAIN LESS THAN 24HRS AFTER IT WAS 'FIXED'. SO TWO STEERING FAILURES IN COUPLE DAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE REVERSING AT APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH, THE REAR BUMPER ON THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S BUMPER WAS BENT INWARDLY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,500.

LUMBAR SUPPORT ON DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CAUSES LOWER BACK PAIN, NUMBNESS AND TINGLING. POOR ERGONOMICS / DESIGN.

CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM DEALERSHIP IN FORT SMITH, AR. UPON INSPECTION 10 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. (MILES: 502) VEHICLE UNDERCARRIAGE AND SUSPENSION HAD SIGNIFICANT RUST AND OXIDIZATION DAMAGE. IN THIS REGION OF THE UNITED STATES- RUST IS VERY UNCOMMON IF NOT EVER PRESENT, MUCH LESS, ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO WORK WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIM TO HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL EFFORTS AND HAVE DONE ALL "REPAIRS" THEY INTEND TO DO. THE WORK DONE WAS ONLY SURFACE REMOVAL AND SINCE THEN, A REAR OIL LEAK HAS DEVELOPED AND THE BACK SEAT DOOR PANELS HAVE SEPARATED FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROCESS, JUNE 3, 2016. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNBELIEVABLE THAT A BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAS THIS EXTENT OF RUST DAMAGE. I AM A MECHANIC WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE ON A VEHICLE, LET ALONE A NEW PURCHASE. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WOULD EVEN BE AN ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BEFORE PURCHASE. BECAUSE OF IT BEING A NEW VEHICLE, WHO WOULD HAVE EXPECTED THIS PROBLEM FROM A TRUSTED VEHICLE BRAND SUCH AS HONDA?! I HAVE MADE SURE TO DOCUMENT THIS THOROUGHLY AND HAVE MORE THAN 70 PHOTOS FOR YOUR REVIEW. PLEASE CONTACT ME ANYTIME FOR THOSE OR ANY ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION YOU MIGHT NEED.

WHILE PARALLEL PARKING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE STEERING BECAME STIFF, TO THE POINT THAT THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT BE TURNED.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG INTERSTATE MY SUNROOF EXPLODED SHOWERING GLASS ON THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME AND SCARING ME AS THE SOUND WAS SO LOUD

THE REAR WINDOW IS DISTORTED WHICH PREVENTS A CLEAR AND ACCURATE VIEW OF ALL OBJECTS BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THIS DISTORTION AFFECTS THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW AND IT CAUSES THE OBJECTS VIEWED THROUGH THE WINDOW TO BE WAVY AND DISTORTED. ITS EFFECTS ARE MAGNIFIED IN WET WEATHER AND AT NIGHT. THE DISTORTION PREVENTS THE OPERATOR FROM ACCURATELY JUDGING THE SIZE, SPEED AND DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THE DISTORTION OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND STATIONARY.

HONDA QUALITY PROBLEMS. WE BOUGHT A 2016 HONDA ACCORD IN JANUARY. AFTER FEW MONTHS THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION ALL OF A SUDDEN AND COMES TO A LOW SPEED (0-5 MPH) WITHIN SECONDS. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES. FIRST TIME - THE DEALER SAID THAT HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR SECOND TIME - AS PER HONDA TECH, THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHIP IN THE COMPUTER IS THE PROBLEM. SO THEY SAID THAT THE SOFTWARE IN THE COMPUTER NEEDED UPGRADE (STRANGE.. IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR. AND WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ONLY ONE CAR. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE WITH OTHER CARS PRODUCED AT THE SAME TIME). THIRD TIME - AS PER HONDA TECH, THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATION KIT AS THEY THOUGHT THAT IS THE PROBLEM. FOURTH TIME - NOW THEY THINK THE WIRING IS THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THAT. EVERY TIME, I DROVE THAT CAR TRUSTING THEM, I RISKED MY LIFE. I AVOIDED ACCIDENT 8 TIMES ON FREEWAY FROM BEING REAR ENDED. I DROVE INTO THE CENTRAL DITCH ON THE FREEWAY AND INJURED MY SHOULDER. I AM ON MEDICATION FOR THE PAST 1+ MONTH. I AM WORRIED THAT I DRIVE THIS CAR AND AM GOING TO DIE.
