Summary

I WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO MY GARAGE TO PARK. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE PARKING BREAK, THE CAR REVVED TO FULL SPEED, SLAMMED INTO GARAGE AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE BRAKES, OR ANY ATTEMPT TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION OR TO CONTROL THE CAR, INCLUDING FAILURE OF THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION OR PARKING COLLISION TO FUNCTION, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ALL TURNED ON. WHEN "PARK" WAS DEPRESSED, WITH THE ENGINE STILL REVVING AT A HIGH SPEED, THE CAR FLEW FULL SPEED INTO REVERSE INTO THE DRIVEWAY, SPUN IN A CIRCLE THEN FLEW THROUGH THE DRIVEWAY ELEVATED CONCRETE DIVIDER, THROUGH THE NEIGHBORS FENCE AND WAS STOPPED BY A LARGE BOULDER UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE WAS SMOKING AND REVVING AND DID NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG HAD DEPLOYED AND THE DOOR WAS JAMMED. I CRAWLED OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE NEIGHBOR INTO WHOSE YARD THE VEHICLE WENT, WITNESSED THE INCIDENT. ANOTHER NEIGHBOR RUSHED TO THE CAR WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER, DISCONNECTED ELECTRICAL WIRING AND SPRAYED THE ENGINE. THE CAR HAD GONE TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. IT TOOK THE TOWING SERVICE 2 HOURS TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE YARD. MY INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THE CAR TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. RECENTLY, THE COLLISION CENTER WHERE THE CAR WAS EVENTUALLY TAKEN, COMPLETED AN ANALYSIS OF THE CAR'S COMPUTER AND DETERMINED THERE HAD BEEN MULTIPLE COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILURES LEADING TO THE CAR BECOMING UNCONTROLLABLE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN A BUSY AREA, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH MORE DISASTROUS RESULT WITH DEATHS. THE POLICE ARRIVED BUT DID NOT FILE A POLICE REPORT AS THE INCIDENT WAS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THERE WAS NO ONE SERIOUSLY INJURED.*DT *TR

Summary

HONDA ACCORD HYBRID 2018: 1. REPEATEDLY AT RANDOM INTERVALS DURING HOT WEATHER I HEAR LOUD BUZZING VIBRATION SOUND COMING FROM AREA HOUSING HIGH VOLTAGE LITHIUM ION BATTERY!!! OVER THE PAST ONE YEAR. ALWAYS WHILE PARKED AFTER DRIVING. I FEAR OVER HEATING OR FIRE FROM HIGH VOLTAGE LITHIUM ION BATTERY!!! HONDA DEALER RESPONSE: WE DON'T HEAR ANY NOISE NOW. WE HAVE NO WAY TO CHECK HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY. 2. OCTOBER 2018 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID RECALLS FOR "HIGH VOLTAGE LITHIUM ION BATTERY" WERE FOR COMPUTER RESET CODES(????) WHATEVER THAT MEANS. 3. NEITHER HONDA NOR NHTSA SHOW ANY CONCERN! HELP! IS THERE ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE WITH A HONDA ACCORD HYBRID WHO HEARS THIS LOUD BUZZING VIBRATION FROM THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY? ANYONE ELSE FEAR FIRES FROM THE HIGH VOLTAGE LITHIUM ION BATTERY? 4. HIGH VOLTAGE LITHIUM BATTERY NEVER ACHIEVES FULL CHARGE! NEVER HOLDS MORE THAN 3 BAR SEGMENTS OUT OF 10 FOR CHARGE.

Summary

IN LESS THAN 5,000 MILES I'VE HAD 2 CRACKED WINDSHIELDS THAT SHOW NO SIGN OF PEBBLE OR STONE IMPACT AND CRACKED WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN. BOTH CRACKS STARTED IN APPROX. THE SAME PLACE OF THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE PILLARS. EACH INSTANCE COSTS APPROX. $1400 TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD (INCLUDES CAMERA RECAL). YOU CAN FIND NUMEROUS INSTANCES ON THE INTERNET OF BASICALLY THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER ACCORD (AND HYBRIDS) OWNERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT COULD AFFECT THE SAFETY SYSTEMS MOUNTED IN THE WINDSHIELD. EITHER THE GLASS IS SPECED WRONG OR DEFECTIVE OR THE DESIGN IS TORQUEING THE GLASS MORE THAN ITS DESIGNED TO HANDLE.

THE WINDSHIELD ON MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID TOURING CRACKED SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE IT WAS BEING BACKED OUT OF A DOWNTOWN PARKING SPACE. IT HAS FEWER THAN 7,500 MILES ON IT. I'M TOLD THERE IS A 4 TO 8 MONTH BACKORDER FOR AN OEM REPLACEMENT - THE ONLY KIND THAT HONDA WILL ACCEPT IF I'M TO MAINTAIN THEIR WARRANTY.

Summary

OUR CAR'S BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED AT NIGHT IN ORLAND PARK, IL, LUCKILY ANOTHER DRIVER ALERTED US THAT THEY WERE UNLIT AND NOT OPERATING DURING BRAKING. WE ALSO NOTICED THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM HAD FAILED, CALLED OUR DEALER & BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR THE NEXT MORNING (JAN. 14, 2019); WE RECEIVED A LOANER SINCE THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE (IT TOOK TWO DAYS FOR PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE). HONDA TOLD US THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE RADAR SENSOR. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA SEVERAL TIMES TO URGE THEM TO FIX THIS BUG, AS BRAKE LIGHTS SHOULD ALWAYS WORK AND NOT BE CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE. HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS SAFETY DEFECT NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE FIX, SO I AM DOCUMENTING IT SO THE US DOT CAN PRESSURE THEM TO FIX IT AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE.

Summary

WE PURCHASED OUR HONDA IN LATE OCT WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING IT WE HIT A SMALL POT HOLE WHILE TURNING LEFT ON A COUNTRY ROAD. WE WERE GOING FAIRLY SLOW BECAUSE WE WERE TURNING AND TWO TIRES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEW OUT. THINKING THIS WAS JUST SOME WEIRD ONE TIME THING WE GOT BOTH TIRES REPLACED AND SADLY WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH WE BLEW 2 MORE TIRES BOTH TIRES ON PASSENGER SIDE AGAIN. THIS TIME WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 35 AND AS WE WERE ENTERING ONTO HWY COMING UP THE ON RAMP, WE HIT ANOTHER POTHOLE. NEITHER TIME WHEN THE TIRE BLEW DID WE ONLY BLOW ONE TIRE. IT IS STRANGE TO LOSE TWO TIRES AT THE SAME TIME ESPECIALLY MORE THAN ONCE . AFTER TALKING TO DEALER WE FOUND THAT THESE TIRES HAVE VERY THIN SIDEWALLS SO THEY WEIGH LESS. THEY SAID THIS IS TO HELP WITH GAS MILLAGE.MY CONCERN IS IF THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS THIS COULD CAUSE CAR TO ROLL OR LOSE CONTROL. IN MY 40 PLUS YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER EVEN LOST ONE TIRE DUE TO HITTING A POT HOLE PRIOR TO THIS VEHICLE. SO TO LOSE 4 TIRES WITHING A COUPLE MONTHS OF PURCHASE REALLY CONCERNS ME. WE HAVE UPGRADED OUR TIRES NOW TO THE THICKER SIDEWALLS BUT I WANTED TO LET OTHERS KNOW TO BE CAUTIOUS.

Summary

WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY BETWEEN 35 AND 60MPH, THIS VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY EXHIBITS A ROARING SOUND THAT CAN FOOL THE DRIVER INTO BELIEVING THAT A LARGE TRUCK HAS COME UPON THEM AND IS IMMEDIATELY TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. THIS CREATED AN UNSAFE SITUATION IN MY CASE WHEN I TOOK MY EYES OFF THE ROAD AHEAD THE FIRST SEVERAL TIMES THE NOISE OCCURRED TO VISUALLY SEARCH THE SIDES FOR A CLOSELY APPROACHING VEHICLE THAT DID NOT ACTUALLY EXIST. HONDA HAS VERIFIED THIS ROARING NOISE PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS NUMEROUS OTHER 2018 ACCORD HYBRIDS, BUT HAS FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, INFORMING ME ONLY THAT THEY ARE "SEARCHING" FOR A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I AM USED TO THE ROARING NOISE NOW, AND KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT IT, BUT IF SOMEONE ELSE DRIVES MY CAR THEY WILL MORE THAN LIKELY REACT IN AN UNSAFE MANNER EXACTLY AS I DID DURING THE FIRST FEW NOISE OCCURRENCES.

Summary

AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) NOT WORKING AS IT WAS INTENDED. I HAVE RECEIVED A WARNING INDICATION, WHEN DRIVING, THAT MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. I HAVE CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND FOUND THAT IT WAS EXACTLY WHERE IT SHOULD BE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS MOST DISCONCERTING WHEN THIS OCCURS. IT HAPPENED THIS PAST WEEKEND. FORTUNATELY, I NOW CARRY A TIRE GAUGE AND WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE WARNING LIGHT WAS IN ERROR. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. OBVIOUSLY, THEIR "FIX" WAS NOT THE SOLUTION.

Summary

I PURCHASED A NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID ON JUNE 30, 2018 FROM HONDA OF KIRKLAND FOR MY DAUGHTER. ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2019, WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING BACK FROM CLASS ON A ROAD AT 35 MPH, THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM BRAKE WARNING FLASHED THEN BRAKED IMMEDIATELY, STOPPING THE CAR IN TRAFFIC. NO OBSTACLES OR CARS WERE IN FRONT OF HER. FORTUNATELY, THE CARS BEHIND HER WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO STOP. IN ADDITION, SHE TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC BY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS AFTER THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING OCCURRED. SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE WARNING HAD BEEN COMING ON OFTEN WHEN NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF HER. IN ADDITION, THE LANE DEPARTURE FEATURE HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING, TRYING TO PULL HER TO THE LEFT LANE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN DRIVING ON CURVING ROADS. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, BUT THE ONLY THING THEY FOUND WAS "A LITTLE DIRT" ON ONE OF THE SENSORS, STATING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM. I HAVE FOUND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST HONDA FOR FAULTY COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEMS ON AT LEAST TWO OF THEIR MODELS (ACCORD & CRV). IN ADDITION, I HAVE FOUND PAGES OF RESULTS FOR THESE PROBLEMS WITH HONDA AND ACURA (HONDA CORPORATION) WHEN SIMPLY TYPING IN "COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEMS".

Summary

ON MY WAY BACK TO HOME IN SAN DIEGO CA IN LATE JAN 2019 THE PANEL STARTED SHOWING WARNING SIGNS LIKE BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT ON, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL/ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION/LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) LIGHTS ARE ALL ON SAYING FAILURE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME FOR MY AROUND 2000 MILES ACCORD HYBRID. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS ABLE TO RESOLVE BY RE-POWER ON THE CAR BUT SECOND TIME IT WAS COMPLETELY FAILED. THEN I WENT BACK TO DEALER THE OTHER DAY AND IT TURNED OUT THE MULTIPURPOSE CAMERA DID NOT WORK PROPERLY UNDER RAIN AND LOW TEMPERATURE (IT WAS JUST TYPICAL SAN DIEGO WINTER) SO THEY REPLACED ONE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE EVERYWHERE. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT THE AUTO-HIGHBEAM STARTED WORKING AS WELL, BEFORE I DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT WAS NOT WORKING. SAME WARNING SIGN LIKE THIS VIDEO: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=-_NFU2HPNGC

Summary

HONDA ACCORD HYBRID 2018 WITH 7439 MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BACK HOME FROM WORK . SUDDENLY CAR STARTS TO FLUSH MESSAGES THAT ALL CAR SYSTEMS FAILS AND IT NEEDS TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. CAR STOPPED TO RESPONSE TO CONTROLS INCLUDING ACCELERATION AND STARTS TO SLOWS DOWN FROM 70 MPH TO 25 MPH. AT THAT TIME I REALIZED THAT THE ONLY OPTION WOULD BE TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER. I DID IT TO BE ABLE TO STAY AWAY FROM TRAFFIC AND CALL EMERGENCY SERVICE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 75 MINUTES I WAS TOWED AWAY TO NEARBY DEALERSHIP (MANCHESTER HONDA, CT). AS OF THIS MORNING I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION FROM THEM. I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED ON CAR BEHAVIOR AND THINK THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR CAR WITH 7439 MILES AND ONLY 7 MONTH OLD.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT 84 MILES.
