2018 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID Complaints

NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID MAKES LOW FREQUENCY "BUZZING" NOISE WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE SEVERAL HOURS AFTER 30 MINUTES OR MORE RIDE. BUZZING NOISE NOT HEARD IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE SHUT OFF. NOISE NOT HEARD UNTIL SERENDIPITY ACCESSING GARAGE AT LEAST TWO HOURS AFTER ENGINE SHUT OFF. MULTIPLE OCCASION "BUZZING" SOUND LOCATED IN TRUNK WHERE LITHIUM BATTERIES ARE!

FAILURE OF FRONT CRASH MITIGATION, LANE DEPARURE MITIGATION SYSTEM WHILE CAR IS MOVING. SUDDEN DECELERATION FROM ENGINE TO ELECTRIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

PARKING SENSOR DESIGN FAILURE. THE PARKING SENSOR ALARM INTERMITTENTLY GOES OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING 5 MPH OR LESS, SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING. THIS FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM IS A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER CAUSING THE DRIVER TO STOP WHAT HE/SHE IS DOING TO IDENTIFY THE ALARM. NORMALLY, THIS WOULD NOT BE AN A MAJOR ISSUE, HOWEVER, WHEN STOPPED WAITING TO TURN LEFT FROM ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC WITH LITTLE TO NO MEDIAN, ONCOMING TRAFFIC WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO CONSTANTLY GO OFF DISTRACTING THE DRIVER. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND SITTING BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE, THAT THE SYSTEM WILL AGAIN GO OFF INDICATING THE DRIVER IS ABOUT TO HIT AN OBJECT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS COMPLETELY STATIONARY. I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM AND THE SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED THIS WAY. THIS SYSTEM IS A DISTRACTION TO DRIVERS AND VERY LIKELY COULD CAUSE SENSORY OVERLOAD TO DRIVERS IF NOT CORRECTED.

I DON'T KNOW IF MY PREVIOUS REPORT WENT THROUGH, SO THIS IS A SECOND ATTEMPT! WITHIN A WEEK OF GETTING THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE WE NOTICED A SEVERE WINDSHIELD PROBLEM! WHEN WE TURNED INTO THE SETTING SUN, THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD LOOKED LIKE SHATTERED GLASS! IT SEVERELY HAMPERED VISION TO THAT SIDE. WHEN WE TURNED THE OTHER DIRECTION, IT LOOKED NORMAL! IT HAPPENED AGAIN, UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY. THE HEAD OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN 30 + YEARS! HE COULD SEE THE PROBLEM WITH A FLASHLIGHT! HE SAID WE NEED A NEW WINDSHIELD, THAT THE ORIGINAL ONE IS DEFECTIVE . I WILL ENCLOSE PHOTOS.
