I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 HONDA ACCORD TOURING FROM PAT PECK HONDA ON DEC. 1, 2015. THE CAR WHEN TEST DRIVEN VIBRATED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AS THE CAR HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED IN APRIL OF 2015, I ASSUMED THAT THE TIRES WERE A LITTLE FLAT SPOTTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE A LITTLE BIT "OUT OF BALANCE" AND THE DEALER BALANCED THE TIRES, TEST DROVE IT AND RETURNED IT TO ME AS ROADWORTHY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE DEALER REPRESENTED TO ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS TIRE BALANCE AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THEY EVEN CLAIMED THAT THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. I AM CONVINCED THAT THAT IS A LIE. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALER THIS MORNING AND HE EXAMINED THE TIRES AND SHOWED ME ON HIS BALANCE MACHINE THAT THE TIRES ARE OUT OF ROUND. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I DO NOT CONSIDER THESE TIRES AS ROADWORTHY AND THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVELY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES MANUFACTURED 16/2015

WITH 800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, IT STALLED AT 65 MPH. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM I DID NOT WANT THE CAR BACK UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. AFTER 10 DAYS, WE RELUCTANTLY TOOK THE CAR BACK. THE DEALER SAID THEY REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA, BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THEY DID. THEY SAID "DRIVER ERROR". IN LATE NOVEMBER, WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER SAYING OUR CAR MIGHT STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WE HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATED, THE 4 DAYS LATER THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THANKFULLY IN A PARKING LOT. IT TOOK 10 MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED. RIGHT AWAY, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, REMOVED OUR LICENSE PLATES, AND INFORMED THE SERVICE MANAGER WE WOULD NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN. HE SAIS IT WAS "DRIVER ERROR". THE NEXT WEEK WE TRADED THE CAR FOR A NEW FORD FUSION. IT COST US SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO DO THIS, BUT WE SAID IT WASN'T WORTH THE CHANCE THAT IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. THE DEALER AND MAYBE HONDA DID NOT STEP UP TO THE PLATE ON THIS MATTER. THEY PUT IT ALL ON ME, THE CONSUMER. THANKS FOR LISTENING.

SCIATIC NERVE PINCHING SEVERELY IN RIGHT LOWER BACK AFTER TWO MONTHS. HIT DEER WITH CAR, TOYOTA RAV 4 RENTAL CAR, PROBLEM WENT AWAY. NOW, CAR BACK, TWO WEEKS, PROBLEM RETURNING. KEEPS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, BOTH TIMES. WORRIED BACK WILL GO OUT, NOT BE ABLE TO WORK.

WHILE DRIVING IN EXTREME DARK CONDITIONS (EG ON A POORLY LIT COUNTRY ROAD), WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON, A WELL DEMARCATED VEIL OF DARKNESS COVERS APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD (IE THE TOP HALF). THIS CURTAIN-LIKE VEIL OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VISION, TO THE POINT THAT HE/SHE MUST LOOK "UNDER" THE CURTAIN OF DARKNESS TO CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD. IF, HOWEVER, THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, VISION IS MUCH IMPROVED (ALTHOUGH ONE CAN FAINTLY SEE THE DARKENED TOP HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD). NOT ONLY IS THIS SITUATION UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT IT IS DANGEROUS.

APPROX. 4 MONTHS INTO MY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, THE BACKUP CAMERA STAYED ON, WHILE THE GEAR WAS IN D (DRIVE). FORTUNATELY IT WAS A SHORT DRIVE BUT IT DID CONCERN ME A LITTLE BIT. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN 2 MONTHS LATER. PICTURES FROM BOTH INCIDENTS ARE ATTACHED. ON THE 2ND INSTANCE THE AUDIO SYSTEM SAID "TURNED OFF" WHILE MUSIC WAS PLAYED LOUD AND CLEAR. I CHANGED GEARS A FEW TIMES WHILE ACTUALLY IN THE PARKING SPOT TO SEE IF IT RESETS, BUT NO LUCK. INCIDENT HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER YET. WAS THE COMPUTER ON THE CAR THINKING THAT I WAS REVERSING THE CAR WHILE I WAS ACTUALLY GOING FORWARD? ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE INTEGRATION OF TRANSMISSION TO ELECTRONICS? WHAT IF THE AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY OR EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS LIKE FORWARD COLLISION OR LANE DEPARTURE ALERTS DO NOT WORK? I AM CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT VERY CONCERNED FOR FAMILY AND MY OWN SAFETY.

WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS, OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE. THIS HESITATION WILL LAST 1-3 SECONDS AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED. THIS HESITATION CAN CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE AS EXPECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, AND THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE ITS PURCHASE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE HONDA DEALER, BUT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE IT SINCE IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. THEIR RESPONSE WAS TO STOP USING THE ECON BUTTON. I HAVE STOPPED USING THIS FEATURE, BUT THE ISSUE HAS PERSISTED, (ALTHOUGH IT HAS LESSENED IN OCCURRENCES). THE ISSUE CAN OCCUR 1-2 TIMES PER WEEK, WITH THE LAST OCCURRENCE ON 12/8/15. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE VEHICLE 15-036, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED, BUT LAST TIME AT THE DEALER, THEY COULDN'T FIND THE TSB, SO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE LIKELY HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE.

EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE COMING FROM WINDOWS. MAINLY NOTICED FROM DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS. MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. NO WATER LEAKS DETECTED DURING TIME OF RAIN OR DURING CAR WASH.

I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR ON JULY 2015. MY CAR HAS 5,350 MILES. I NOTICE WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE IT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY TO ADJUST TO THE SPEED ALMOST LIKE A PUSH BACK/STALL. THERE IS ALSO RATTLING WHEN I DRIVE THAT I CAN'T ATTRIBUTE TO ANY PERSONAL ITEMS.
