Since 1989, the Honda Accord has been a best-seller in North America. Much of the sedan’s popularity centers around its reputation for being one of the most dependable vehicles on the road. But no car, including the seemingly infallible midsize Honda, has a perfect track record. According to the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) website, the 2018 Accord has several problem areas. The most common are the brakes, engine/powertrain, and electrical system.

Problems with the Brakes
Honda Sensing is the name given to the suite of driver assistance features that come standard on the Accord. The bundle includes adaptive cruise control, auto high beams, lane-departure warning and mitigation, traffic-sign recognition, low-speed follow – and of course, collision-mitigation braking.
The collision-mitigation braking system is quite complex. It uses two primary inputs: a radar sensor, mounted in the front grille, and a camera located in the rear-view mirror. Data from these devices is relayed to the computer controls onboard the car. If the system determines a crash is about to occur, it instructs the vehicle to apply the brakes automatically.
While the feature may sound good on paper, in many situations Honda’s collision-mitigation braking (otherwise known as automatic emergency braking) doesn’t work properly. The system tends to either halt the vehicle unexpectedly or not to stop it at all. Both scenarios present a potential safety hazard.
On the NHTSA website, one owner tells his account that makes the threat all too real. He states, “I was traveling on U.S. Highway 19 and a vehicle turned off about a half mile ahead of me while I had the cruise control engaged. The vehicle had completely cleared the road and my car slammed on the brakes causing everything in the vehicle to be thrown into the floorboard. Had there been a car behind me, the car would have rear-ended my vehicle.”
In 2017, Honda issued a technical service bulletin (TSB) addressing the same problem present on other models. The TSB (TSB 17-064) instructs dealers to update the radar unit’s software to address the concern. So far, Honda has not publicly tackled the matter on the 2018 Accord.
Here are some actual complaints logged with the NHTSA about the 2018 Honda Accord Brake Problems:
I purchased brand new my 2018 Honda Accord sport Dec 28 2017 I have 1450 miles currently on the car and the brake pressure has been lost. When applying breaks at highway speed it’s not as noticeable but around town at 45mph when applying the breaks there is dead space then full brake kicks in which makes others think you are brake checking them. When going to the forums and to this website I saw other complaining about the brake booster failures. I went to the dealership. They advised yes the vehicle has a failed brake booster and is on a national back order. I am currently driving my new car with a failed booster waiting on Honda to fix it. I hope this is safe that that my brand new car isn’t being damaged waiting for this part.
Brakes do not stop smoothly, there is a dead spot in the brake pedal that takes extra pressure to get the car to stop. Makes the car stop suddenly when trying to brake smoothly. Dealer acknowledged the problem and replaced the master cylinder with no fix and now dealer says they need to wait for American Honda to allow them to replace the brake booster that have been successful for others on Honda forums
Just like others have said, I’m also having an issue with the sensitivity of my brake pedal. The brake feels like there are steps to it instead of a smooth linear pedal. I have never driven a car with a brake pedal like this. From the first stop leaving the dealership after buying my 2018 Honda Accord 1.5, i knew something was wrong with the brakes
Problems with the Engine / Powertrain
In the early 2000’s, Honda unleashed a rash of Accords with bad transmissions. It seems history may be repeating itself with the 2018 model car. There are numerous complaints of the 10-speed automatic shifting poorly, jerking and failing altogether.
On Edmunds.com, one owner complains, “Test drove 2018 Honda Accord Sport and ended up buying one for my wife. This was our 4th Honda, we had good luck with the Honda brand and the reliability. We were going to buy the top rated Toyota Camry but decided to stick with the Honda. My wife drove it for 2 weeks, the car had 200 miles on it and it started driving funny, we brought it into the Honda dealer. The technician took the car for a ride and told us that he had some bad news, the brand new 2018 Honda Accord Sport needed a NEW TRANSMISSION!!! So much for Honda quality and quality control. They offered to replace the transmission, we told them that we bought a new car and want a new car not a refurbished car. They refused, very very disappointed in Honda and the Honda brand. We now have a refurbished 2018 Honda Accord the we paid full price, NOT HAPPY WITH HONDA!!”
So far, Honda has not gone public with any TSBs or recalls regarding the issues.
Here are some actual complaints logged with the NHTSA about the 2018 Honda Accord Engine and Transmission Problems:
My brand new 2018 Honda Accord 2.0t w/ automatic transmission is having issues. It shifts very roughly sometimes, I notice the problem most when the engine is cold, however it still happens frequently when engine is at normal operating temperatures. I understand that it’s a first year production vehicle and a newly designed transmission but having problems like this with under 700.00 miles is excusable. The problem did not suddenly start, I noticed the problem soon after driving off the dealer lot for the first time. And let me be clear, I understand what “break in periods” are for cars and I have not driven this vehicle aggressively at all yet, the very rough shifts happen at just normal everyday driving.
The first night I took ownership of car, the engine light blinked and the car lost power, and became a brick. Had to turn car the off, start it, and began to function normally. Car showed 3 misfire codes on my scanner p0301, p0304, p0300. This happened several times, the dealership told me the first time nothing is wrong with the car. They checked the computer and it shows nothing happened. Reluctant to take the car I was, but Brewster Honda was very forceful and took the loaner back. Not even two nights later the car did it twice in one drive cycle. Every time this happens in the rain. Lie Brewster Honda has my car now for quite some time and no one can figure out what is wrong. I am upset that they told me my car was safe, I have a 9 month old daughter that is the world to me. I explained this and still was not taken into consideration. My car is still there, and no sign of being fixed. Only paid one payment on the car. They took my car due to the fact I video taped this happening. I feel the car is unsafe for my family, hope this isn’t something that becomes a trend with 2018 Honda 2.0t. Peoples safety is a number one priority. Very upset I was told nothing wrong with my car, and was puts in an unsafe condition.
The car stutters or stammers when you press the accelerator/gas pedal at times, it does not do it at all times. It is dangerous. It was stationary at a stop light, or pulling off from a stopped position.
Problems with the Electrical system
The 2018 Honda Accord is a feature-rich ride, decked out with all the bells and whistles. Unfortunately, much of the high-tech gadgetry either doesn’t work right, or doesn’t work at all.
In addition to the problems with the Honda Sensing suite, mentioned earlier, there are many accounts of issues with the Accords radio and back up camera.
“Have had this car to dealer 5 times within first 2000 miles. Several braking problems, touch screen stopped working, had to update system, and hood misaligned from factory… which was attempted to be fixed by their “great body shop” to no avail. Very disappointed with new Honda quality. Should have bought the Camry,” writes an owner on Edmunds.com.
Another on the NHTSA website states blatantly, “Reverse camera quit working.”
A recall (18V629000) has been issued to remedy the backup camera problem. As for the radio, Honda has responded in a communication (ATS180105) on the NHTSA website by saying, “We’re currently looking at an issue where the audio system cuts out when using the right turn signal while playing FM radio.”
Not having a radio is a real bummer. Don’t leave you customers hanging, Honda.
Here are some actual complaints logged with the NHTSA about the 2018 Honda Accord Electrical Problems:
On several occasions this cars collision mitigation system has applied the brakes without any reason and this is a very serious safety issue for the public at large and needs immediate attention from Honda. I’ve seen some complaints about the 2017 and 2018 CRV doing this exact same thing.
Car multimedia unit (with a touch-screen) randomly freezes and restarts itself. It happened to me 9 times already since I bought a car in June 2018. If you use navigation system or need screen for other activities while you driving – you are in trouble, because you will lose all the content you had on the screen before the restart and it will distract you from the driving. After restart system is very slow and it forces you to accept legal declaimer while you driving! Two times it just froze without restart and I had to stop the car, turn the engine off and on again, to remove the problem. Very annoying and also not safe because it distracts you. One time it happened while I was backing up using rear view camera, which almost caused an accident.
Trunk would not open, blinkers and wipers would not work, all on board sensors (lane departure, backup detection, etc.) Would not operate. Several error warnings presented on dash in regards to safety sensors not working. Had to stop at dealership and they reset the car computer. Safety issue w/wipers and blinkers not working

Complaint Data
| Category | Structure, Visibility:rearview Mirrors/devices:exterior |
| Date | Mar 30, 2023 |
| State | MI |
| Description | The contact owns a 2018 honda accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, there were abnormal rattling sounds coming from the rear of the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that the failure was a known manufacturer defect; however, the dealer informed the contact that they could not repair the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 45-60 mph, the driver's side-view mirror detached from the mirror housing. The contact panicked as he had lost visibility of incoming traffic. Additionally, the forward collision avoidance sensors stopped functioning. The contact was unable to veer to the side of the road, and he pushed back the mirror into position while driving. The contact stated that upon reaching his destination, he attempted to secure the side-view mirror in the housing but was unable to. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who advised the contact to push the side-view mirror back into place whenever the failure occurred. The dealer also informed the contact he would be charged for the repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure occurred 5-7 times in two years. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000. |

| Description | Door locks don't work with fob intermittently. Often times, failure door can only be locked/unlocked manually by toggled physical mechanism, or by use of key, never buttons or fob. Passenger using said door would have difficulty opening door in the event of emergency, or at least delayed in doing so trying to find the toggle. Issue has not be replicated by either dealer or other professional. Issue has been ongoing for 6 months, but recently one of the door has failed completely so I will be going back to dealer tomorrow. There are no warning indicators to suggest a certain issue. |

| Description | The infotainment unit on the 2018 honda accord does not properly sync up with a music player (such as any given phone) over bluetooth. This is manifested by the information from the previous track being shown while another track is playing. Honda has been unwilling to properly address the issue via a recall or a software update. Their typical response (to just about every issue) is to take it to the dealer, who is not able to properly troubleshoot and address issues which were caused by the honda's failures in software (and hardware) development. Ad video of the issue is available (honda dealer and honda pretty much refuse to take the videos as an evidence of the issue). |

| Description | When the engine is shut down, there is a squeak (have not been able to pinpoint the source). However, prior history on the vehicle considered, wanted to make a record. The vehicle has always had a burning smell to it and, at one point, a dealer's mechanic did replace the head gasket, claiming that was the source of the burning smell. However, the burning smell still persists and I've been wondering if something more serious is going on (as one mechanic did say, there is a possibility of the turbo burning oil due to some defect). Hence, the squeak is suspicious due to that. |

| Description | I've filed the specific issues in other complaints, but also wanted to input this for a record. After taking the card to the dealer, the dealer did not address any of the following: right door speaker rattle engine squeak (when shutting off) hood vibration did not troubleshoot the smell coming from the ventilation system. Did not apply the fix (if there was one) for the infotainment unit restarting abruptly. Did not look at as to why the display shows 100mph speed limit when there is no such thing in the the state of colorado (that I know of and certainly not where I was driving when this happened). Did not look at why the aux display has issues did not look at bluetooth connectivity issues. Did not look at problems with radar and the cmbs system. Of course, the usual response is "we drove it for an hour (if that) and did not see anything." |

| Description | The vehicle's safety system (not sure if it's the camera mounted behind the windshield or something else) will periodically interpret a road speed sign as showing 100mph speed limit. This has happened before and will have happened again (I am filing this complaint after some time has passed). As with a number of other issue with the 2018+ honda models, honda's response has been "take it to the dealer" while the dealer's mechanic drives the car for an hour, does not see the issue and then claims that nothing is wrong with the vehicle. A picture is attached. |

| Description | The cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) had another failure. This is due to the radar sensor being blocked and then other safety systems in the vehicle having cascading failures. In the winter of 2019, the radar sensor had failed catastrophically and I had to take the vehicle in to the dealer where they, supposedly, performed some sort of an adjustment. During a phone call with a honda representative, the representative claimed that "this would never happen again." however, what happens now is I get an error message claiming that there is a failure in the cmbs system, every time the radar sensor is blocked, directing me to "take the vehicle to the dealer." hence, she lied. Furthermore, the failures indicate honda's failure in producing a safety system that is reliable in a wide range of weather conditions. Honda ceo recently claimed that honda will be producing level 3 autonomous vehicles. That is horrifying, considering honda can't even make a cmbs and a radar sensor that does not fail constantly. Please, please, please make honda recall all the models which use the radar sensor and the cmbs that is similar to the one in the 2018 accord before someone gets really hurt. Please. |

| Description | The cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) had another failure. In this case, there was "phantom braking", whereby the car abruptly applied breaks without an abstruction in fron of the vehicle. I have filed several complaints with nhtsa and, yes, "have taken the vehicle to the dealer" more than once for issues with the cmbs, to no avail. Not only that, but since then, there has been a class action lawsuit against honda for the related issue(s). Yet, nhtsa still has not issued a recall on all the crvs, accords, pilots and odysseys which all use similar version of this system. |

| Category | Service Brakes |
| Date | Mar 19, 2023 |
| State | CO |
| Description | The 2018 accords have a system called "brake hold" which is intended to engage the braking system while a vehicle is stopped at, say, a stop-light. The intent seems to be to allow the driver to have their foot on the gas, instead of the brake pedal. The brake hold system frequently has an issue where it allows the vehicle to creep. This, generally, seems to happen in colder temperatures. Another, pattern of behavior is when the vehicle has been brought to a slow roll, then stopped (using the brake pedal) and as soon as the brake pedal is release, the brake hold system fails to hold the vehicle in the stopped position. After a significant delay, the brake system is engaged, but the vehicles had, at that point, lurched forward several inches, if not over a foot. This indicates (just as with the collision mitigation system delays, discussed in other complaints) that there is a significant issue with the timing of the control system utilized in the brake hold, the sensor(s) or both, where the system fails to detect the conditions in real time and reacts in a delayed manner. Again, as with other issues on the later honda models, honda has failed to perform comprehensive troubleshooting of the issue (even after me taking the vehicle to the dealer as indicated by honda. This is a complaint for a separately occurring instance of this issue. |

When I had initially raised the issue with american honda, they ignored it (and, as they always do, told me to go to the dealer). Since then, honda has done nothing to truly address the problem. An investigation (and a possible recall) should be initiated. |

| Description | While I was driving down highway 101 near mountain view near the shoreline off-ramp, the vehicle's cbms activated at highway speed even though there was no car in front of me. The weather was cloudy but visibility was good. The vehicle displayed "brake" together with a warning sound, and the car suddenly decelerated. Luckily there was no car behind me, since the sudden braking could have easily caused an accident. I can confirm that this is repeatable -- on three occasions, the cbms engaged at the exact same place where there was some surface imperfection in the road (due to recent asphalt patching). I had to step on the accelerator immediately to ensure the car behind me didn't rear end my car. I've read reports about the honda accord 2018 having this potential defect and wanted to make sure this report is filed, especially because it is repeatable. For now I've had to disable the vehicle cbms to prevent an accident from occurring. |

The "brake" alert flashed and the car literally screeched to a stop. This happened again when I was in stewartstown, pa and was starting to go over railroad tracks, it suddenly stopped. Again, no one was in front of me or behind me. I routinely drive I-83 from york to harrisburg 3 days a week to go to work. If this would happen to me on I-83, this would cause a serious accident. I contacted apple honda and was told the system is just really "touchy" and there is no fix. The person I spoke with said a leaf blowing across the road could trigger the system. I have to deactivate the anti-collision feature whenever I drive. This is a serious issue that has been around for several years according to researching the issue and honda refuses to fix this. |

| Description | My 2018 honda accord ex-l 91,560 miles has an issue with the fuel pump/injectors while driving on the roadway and/or highway. My vehicle will come to a mid stop abruptly because it is not getting enough power to the engine from the fuel pump. This has caused safety issue to myself, passengers in my vehicle, pedestrians and and other drivers while operating my vehicle. Honda has been made aware of this issue and has over 650,000 vehicles manufactured between 2018-2020 with the same reported issue and has previously issued a recall for only certain 2018-2020 vehicles. Furthermore, honda refuses to repair my 2018 vehicle under the recall for the same issue based on my vin#. I have notified honda of the inherent danger to myself and others and they have ignored the safety hazard and refuse to repair the fuel pump which typically has a life span of 250,000 miles or more. |

Said my brake were ok, two months later my rear driver side brake pads were worn to the metal and my brake caliper needs to be replace along with that brake rotor, I complained I was just in here two months ago and you said they were ok and I asked why just one brake pad wore out they had no answer , I asked will my extended warranty will cover it and they said it would not be covered because it's normal wear and tear. Also, all my warning lights, will come on every once in a while, but by the time I go to the dealer they would cut off so now I just wait to the next day and turn the car off and on until the light go off, when I tell the dealer and show pictures of all the warning lights they say they cannot do anything until they see it themselves. |

| Description | Two cylinders began misfiring on the same day due to fuel injectors. Dealership inspected the injectors and confirmed they needed to be replaced. Under 60k miles on the vehicle. This caused a check engine light as well as 8 other error messages to show on the dash. Exhaust system error message was seen. Brake system light and abs light turned on due to the fault in the exhaust system. Unclear if the systems are still working as intended. There were no prior warnings or issues until these dash lights turned on. Fuel injector issues causing engine misfire is dangerous at high speeds and can cause further damage to the vehicle. |

Yes, but they had no real solution (not the location where I purchased my vehicle - only offered to do what wasn't covered under my warranty so that the "tech can get paid" (never again will I go to stonecrest honda in lithonia, ga) has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others?

| Description | My 2018 accord had 22628 miles on it. I brought in for an oil change and tire rotation at my local dealer, klein honda in everett washington on 12/28/22. They performed the service and they gave the car an inspection. It said that the brake pads on all four wheels were at 8mm. Which would be normal at 22628 miles. Two weeks later I started hearing a crunching noise when I would come to a stop. I made an appointment for a few days later 01/26/2023. I brought my car to the same dealer and they told me I needed a rear brake job, both pads and rotors. They said the pads were at 3mm on the left rear and 1mm and metal to metal on the right rear. 0 dollars, plus tax. I don't understand how pads can go from 8mm to 3mm in three weeks. I had only driven 259 miles between appointments. No warning lights came on and the only indication was the noise. The dealer said all the breaking systems were fine and workinkg properly after they did the brake job. There is no way that could have happened in 259 miles. Even if the first inspection was a mistake or the tech was taking short cuts, the fact that it wore out rear brakes at under 23000 miles should make a recall. Honda had a similar problem in 2010 and had a recall. |

| Description | I have a 2018 honda accord sport 2. 0t 6mt. The car is up to date on recalls (bcm and backup camera update were completed). The car had been sitting in the garage for the last day and a half. I took a 7 mile round trip in light rain to lowe's. On the way back, I was on a service road going about 50mph, downshifted into 3rd gear and hit the gas. The tires slipped a little and the car went into limp mode. The car immediately started decelerating and the check engine light started flashing. The throttle barely accepted any input. I drove it home slowly in limp mode. I had to let several cars pass me. At home I turned the car off and back on and the car was perfectly normal. Limp mode was gone. Nobody's safety was severely at risk during this incident but if this happens on the highway it could be deadly. There are many people on accord forums that seem to have experienced the same issue. I could not find a honda tsb for the 6mt accord. The car is available for inspection upon request. |

| Description | While driving in stop and go traffic on the highway with the adaptive cruse control system enabled the system will suddenly stop working. A message appears on the dashboard information panel "braking mitigation system error/failure: bring to dealer". This has occurred twice in 2022, and once or twice in 2021. When the car is turned off, then restarted, the system appears to reset itself. I brought the car to the dealership, they ran a "diagnostic" and told me they detected software errors and needed to do a "flash" reset, and that it was not covered under warranty. I contacted the honda corporation and provided my service records, and details of the incident. They were lacking in enthusiasm to investigate the issue, as they were more interested in informing me that the vehicle was over the 36,000 mile warranty period. There was no collision, but that does mean there won't be in the if there is a software malfunction with the braking mitigation system. I feel the honda corporation is not taking this safety issue seriously. |

| Description | Well I've had the car for about a year now and it has been good for the first few months, then I ran into a snag. All the orange warning lights for my safety features popped up and the vehicle was applying the brakes on its own. So I took it to the dealership and they told me it was a taillight, so I spent 500 bucks on one. Well after a month it's started to do it again this time worse, and it got so bad. I've had to pull over to the side of the road and restart the car because it kept braking while on the highway. Fast forward months down today and it's still doing it except much much worse. I tried to trade it in because I don't feel safe with vehicle anymore. But where I owe so much on it they won't let me get something else, so I'm stuck with it. I've made an appointment to see if they could check it out but at this point I just want it paid off and I want something else. |

Pulled over for a safety measure and turned engine off and turned it back on. Error code did not clear. My first initial thought was a file injector issue. Took it to the shop, after diagnosis, they said it was a misfiring (I'm like ok) they replaced coil and spark plug. After 1-2 months, tissue had came back. I checked a error code and it was another misfire. After a thorough search, looks like honda has been having issues with fuel injectors but is not acknowledging the problem. They keep getting a misfire code on cylinder 4, but after checking the coil and spark plugs they said nothing is wrong. |

The officer stated that speeding played a part in causing the accident. My daughter said the car just started beeping and she noticed she was going to slow in traffic so she preceded to get in the right lane. Upon doing so she said that my car just started spinning and she took her foot off the gas and never applied pressure to the brakes. She ended up on the other side of the road hitting a guard rail.

However, as of yesterday (september 17, 2022), not only is the dual climate control not working, but I am not able to get heat from any vents after raising the temperature to 80°f. Currently the passenger's side vents blow cold air conditioned air, while driver's side doesn't. Moreover, air from driver's side vents feel tepid cool regardless of temperature setting. Winter is approaching, heat in the car will be needed to defrost windows. |

| Description | 2018 accord sport 1. 5t - got a tune-up at around 98,000 miles. 1 month later, car went into 'limp' mode while trying to accelerate. Check engine code indicated misfire on cylinder 3. Had to have it towed - dealer found it also misfiring on cylinder 4 and determined it was a defective spark plug since they had just replaced all of them. 1 month later, did the same thing. Took it to a different dealer and they put a camera into each cylinder and found that cylinder 3 and to a lesser extent cylinder 4 were dirty. They are saying that head gasket is leaking coolant into the cylinders and recommending cylinder head replacement. This poses a safety issue as it is dangerous if the car won't accelerate when you expect that it should. Standard internet search indicates that this seems to be a fairly common issue with this particular engine (1. 5t). |

| Description | I have noticed a few times, at least 3 I can recall in the past year I've had the vehicle. The most recent being, I had just merged into a left lane. Traffic was light as it was around 8am going the opposite direction of heavy traffic and I was taking my child to school, and my car suddenly jerked like a hard brake motion. I could also hear what sounded like the abs trying to stop the car, kind of like thump but followed by a deep grinding sound like when you suddenly slam on the brakes. I looked to my side and there was no cars near me just the vehicle that was a few cars ahead of me and no one behind. The car was drove fine after that but it worries me that it could do it at the wrong time. |

| Description | I was driving on the highway at about 45 mph when the car suddenly came to a stop without my touching the brake ( it wasn't as if the brakes were slammed on: the stop was relatively smooth but quick}. When I tried to use the accelerator to speed up, there was no response. I was unable to pull off the highway. I'm not sure what I did next, but I think I touched the brake. Within about 30 seconds I was able to resume using the accelerator. I don't think this was operator error. I drive this car infrequently, and it operates differently from the tesla that I usually drive. But I don't think I was the cause of this. |

| Description | I have had this vehicle since june 2018 and I have not had any issues until the last month or so. The first incident happened while driving to work and it was raining, when I turned into the parking lot a number of warnings started going off : electric parking brake system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, electric power steering system problem, adaptive cruise control system problem. Parked my car, went in my office and called the dealership. They told me it was most likely because of the rain and that the issue should resolve on it's own. By lunch time it had stopped raining, went to get lunch and the warnings were gone, but now when accelerating I would lose power. So I go the the dealership, they check to see what the issue is and they can't find anything. Told me to come back if it does it again. Few weeks later, driving down the interstate going 75 and I start losing speed for no reason and car almost crashes into me due to the dramatic decrease in speed and once again all the warnings are back on - but it's not raining this time! Honda can't find any issues and I'm so frustrated because it's a danger to me! |

| Description | I have a 2018 honda accord 2. 0. Twice it left me stranded on the side of the road due to a failing fuel pump. The first time it kicked back on after an hour and all the lights turned off so they said a diagnostic cannot be performed. The second time I was driving in the middle of the road and the engine cut off and would not start, luckily I had some space to pull over but I was still in traffic and I called a tow truck. It took 6 1/2 hours to finally get it to the honda dealership and they told me my fuel pump had failed and there is a recall for 2018 2. 0s but not my specific vin so I have to cover the cost. It's 55 plus taxes even though there's an active recall for other 2018 2. 0‘s but not my exact vehicle. The part is on back order and can take up to a month they are providing no service car and no help on the recall. |

Then I moved off eway because the car breaks automatically on its own and slows down. The cars are flying around me. It turns out it's the fuel pump. I assume all accords are having fuel pump issues because I was told it would be october before I would receive a fuel pump on a 3yr old honda sport. Please investigate and recall. This vehicle is having fuel pump issues and could kill someone when it breaks on the eway out of nowhere, slows down and dash board lights up. I was very lucky.

I have taken it to my local honda dealer for this problem, and since they cannot recreate it, they claim there is no problem. It generally happens when there are lines in the road, or a change in the color or the road surface. It happened again last week while I was traveling on us 301 near maxville fl. There is road resurfacing going on, therefore one lane is a lighter asphalt, and the other lane is dark. I was going about 60 mph, changed lanes, and the car slammed on the brakes and displayed the brake warning on the instrument panel. Fortunately, no one was behind me. This is the typical behavior of the car when it happens |

Additionally, after making it home every warning lights for adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, power steering assist, lane keep assist, etc. Continue to come on and off. Vehicle was just at the local honda dealership where they did a recalibration, to which I just picked up and within 10 miles of driving the vehicle every warning light is back in and vehicle de-rated again. Vehicle is very unsafe to drive and at this point a danger to myself, family and others on the road. |

I was feeling a vibration while driving. 7-31-2022 coming back from louisiana into texas I had a flat. When my husband removed the back tire to place the spare on, the tire was absolutely eaten up on the inside wall. There were chunks of rubber missing from the tire and we looked at other rear tire and it was worn beyond repair. I took my car 8-1-2023 to have 2 new back tires replaced and get an alignment, which has to be all wheel alignment due to front wheel drive. I was told that the rear camber had gone out. They quoted me 00 to repair. I drive 40 miles one way to work monday through friday all highway. I do not drive over the speed limit and do not hit pot holes or curbs. Nowhere in my manual is there a schedule for alignment. I will attach a picture of the tires that were taken off 8-1-2022. This very upsetting and dangerous. I would think that a part that serious would last longer than 46,000 miles. And no one can align the tires do to this camber being broken. I don't have the money to replace tires that often due to a defect on honda america. I have read numerous posts from other honda owners having this same issue. Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a blessed day. |

| Description | I had taken my vehicle in to dealership on multiple occasions for the vehicle stating “road departure mitigation system problem†multiple times and every time I was told there wasn't an issue. Eventually the system completely stopped working and the dealership wanted to charge me over ,000 because I was about 5,000 miles over warranty. I never fixed it. 2 years it hasn't worked until one day my car randomly braked on its own as the system just started working out of no where almost causing an accident. Thankfully no one hit me from behind. But then it yet again isn't working. Seems a default that continues to happen. And I'm worried it will happen again with my child in the back and someone slamming into me due to a system issue on the vehicle. I also included other errors that have occurred with this same issue but it goes away and didn't happen as often as the collision mitigation issue. I put 2 months ago because that's when the car randomly braked on me while driving on a busy road and that system is suppose to be “out†not working at all. But this all happened over 2 years ago when it went out and dealer said I didn't need it for my vehicle to work correctly. Dealership has all paperwork for everytime I took in the vehicle to have it looked at for this |

| Description | The vehicle on two separate occasions has out of the blue completely engaged in an automatic emergency braking when there is no reason to and no other vehicles on the road. Most recently I went to merge on the highway, there was no traffic infront of me and it was sunny and daytime. The vehicle engaged the emergency braking very aggressively and my car went from 65-35 quickly. There was a car and semi truck behind me I could see in my rear view mirror, they almost ran into the back of me. In the moment I tried hitting the gas pedal to speed back up while braking was still happening and the car would not allow me to accelerate or speed up until the ‘braking' portion was over. This is happened numerous times going on on ramps and then randomly driving down the road, and not when there's a reason to emergency brake. Three months ago when I got the vehicle I was driving down the highway and the system randomly disengaged and every single warning light for the braking system and ford collision came on. I pulled over and called honda, when I restarted the car all of the lights and everything went away. I'm in multiple honda accord groups and apparently this is a very common issue with these cars just wanted to add that as well |

| Description | Two times while driving on the highway at 75-80 mph with cmbs system on and utilizing acc. Out of nowhere, vehicle drops speed, acc off notice comes on and an alert stating collision mitigation braking system problem. See dealer pops up. . At this point, I have to quickly react to increase speed on gas pedal and avoid someone hitting me from behind. I am not able to re-engage the acc the remainder of the travel. After turning off the vehicle, the cmbs resets and acc is available again. This is not possible to do while driving on a highway. The second time it happened, I was changing lanes into the passing lane on left and I seriously could have been hit due to my speed deceleration. I took the vehicle straight to the dealer and the guy checking me in said they get a lot of those system errors. This is not reassuring! They ran a diagnostic, step by step the advisor said, only to say the system shows no issue. This is not acceptable to me as I do not feel safe driving. In addition, the lane keeping assist lkas feature also malfunctions. When there are shadows on the road, my car wants to swerve and steer me incorrectly. My car also will display a giant orange brake warning when nothing is in front of me. One time it braked so hard that my seatbelt locked up and everything on my passenger seat slid off the seat. Thankfully, nobody was immediately behind me because I could have been hit for the sudden and unanticipated braking. |

| Description | I had owned a 2018 honda accord which I had purchased in 2019. I had owned the car for about 6 months when the situation occurred. I had been about 30-50 before a railroad track and had already slowed down to 30-35 mph at this point. My dash lit up with the word 'brake' and the brakes went on automatically. There was nothing in front of me but the approaching train track which shouldn't set off the sensing function. I had a truck behind me which thankfully didn't hit me although he did blare his horn at me due to the unexpected braking. I went home and started looking online to see if other honda owners had similar experiences. There were stories from driving down the freeway going 70+ mph and having the same issue with nothing in front of them and coming to a complete stop to people having accidents because of the braking issues, etc. The next day, I called honda and they stated that they were aware of the issues but were not planning on issuing a recall. I called the dealership and spoke to the manager and stated that I was going to return the car that day. He asked if they could check out the brake situation and I stated if honda knows of the issue but is not planning a recall, then what is the mechanic at the dealership going to fix? I declined his offer and returned the car that evening. When I got to the dealership, the manager wouldn't even come and face me, which was another issue. I sunk money into a faulty car that I will never see back. I went to a different dealership and bought a different brand of car. To this day, if I see another honda in front of me while driving, I let off of the gas because knowing the braking issue that I had, I don't want to be involved in an accident if they other honda driver has braking issues. |

| Description | My car was purchased new in december 2018. It now has 119,231 miles on it. My problem is that my headlight warning lamps go on the minute I start my car, because moisture has somehow gotten into both headlight assemblies, which causes my headlights to stop working intermittently. I took my car to keeler honda in latham new york to get it fixed, and they gave me a quote to replace two headlights in the amount of 74. 23. My car has never been hit nor has it ever been in an accident. And now I need to replace two headlights and I can't believe how much money it's going to cost me. I believe I have defective headlights, and although my car may be out of warranty, I think this is a design issue, and the cost to replace two headlights is unreasonable. I have attached pictures of the right and left front headlights, a picture of my dashboard warning light that comes on when I start my car, and a copy of the estimate I received from keeler honda in latham new york for 74. 23. Just for the headlights alone, the cost is 2624. 04. Who has that kind of money to replace 2 headlights? I wonder if I'm the only one with this issue. This is a serious safety hazard when I'm on the road and my headlights turn off at night. What can I do? Thank you, mark febbie |

| Description | The vehicle gave me a warning for the emergency breaking and began to aggressively brake for no reason. This has happened to me three separate times. Case 1: there were no cars in front of me, a few cars behind but not too close. The vehicle slammed on the breaks from ~50mph to ~25mph aggressively. Thankfully I was not hit, only received a few angry honks from other drivers. Case 2: driving on the highway at 60-65mph, vehicle slowed down to 30-35mph or so, I was afraid I was going to end up in the hospital if I caused a wreck. Cars were around in other lanes and nobody was in front of me in the 2nd lane. I got off the highway to take a few deep breaths, called the honda dealership in ferndale, michigan. Dropped my car off a few times to get it looked at, the service department was "unable to duplicate the event" and sent me on my way. I work in front camera modules/windshields releasing at another automotive company so I have experience with this item. I asked for my case to be forwarded to an engineer at honda to help explain the situation and to be connected to them, no luck. Case 3 similar to case 1, but a busier road. Distance was kept from vehicle in front, but my vehicle still decided to "break-check" the car behind me. This was a close one. Now, I typically drive the vehicle with the auto braking feature off (it may not be completely off but I turned it off from the steering wheel menu options). I own a 2018 honda accord ex-l 2. 0t. All these cases happened around 28,000miles-40,000miles (two of three cases under warranty, vehicle was taken in 2-3 times during warranty and the last time the dearlership didn't even consider trying to find out the issue once they saw my history of already bringing it in). The front camera module camera void on the windshield was clean and clear 3of3 times, the grille had some dirt/residue 1of3 times which is what the dealership blamed it on. I have received no support for my claims, hence I am reporting it here. Disappointed... |

| Description | Three times now I have been driving with no obstructions in front of me and the automatic emergency braking system has flashed "brake" on the dash and then slammed the brakes on. One of the times, I was on the freeway going approximately 60 mph. Everything on the seat next to me went flying and my seatbelt locked, hurting me (I did not see a doctor as it was not necessary). There were no cars or obstructions in front of me. This could have caused a bad accident had someone been behind me at the time. The other two times, people were able to brake in time so as to not cause an accident. This was terrifying. I took it to our local honda dealership and they simply said everything looks fine and maybe the sensor was dirty. My car was clean at the time on the freeway, and I don't recall if it was the other two times. I did not have my insurance or police look over the car as there was no accident and no need to contact them. But the actual dealership did look over the car. It all happened suddenly with no warning and no need. The only "warning lamp" was it flashing "brake" on the dash immediately before it slammed on the brakes each time. |

A semi truck in right lane pulled in front of me, I braked to avoid hitting it. I got within 1-2 car length of semi and suddenly car braked on its own. Brakes fully locked up. I tried to accelerate after car slowed a lot (down 15-20 mph) and considerable distance opened up between us. Car would not allow me to regain ability to accelerate. Car brakes remained locked up until car slid to complete stop in left lane. Car then allowed me to again accelerate. Unknown if braking indicator activated. No trouble lights were illuminated. Almost hit by vehicle behind that had to maneuver to avoid. Have noticed other issues where brakes briefly automatically apply when passing large vehicle in right lane. This seems to be happening more frequently in past year. |

They said that there was a misfire present on cylinder #3 & that after driving the car, the lights then did not appear. They could not reproduce the error. They recommended that I replace the spark plugs, ignition coils , & have a fuel injection clean done. A few days later, all warnings lights turn on after a rough idle and misfire occurred frequently. Took vehicle to a local shop, they also said there was a misfire present. Local shop also recommended that I replace the spark plugs, ignition coils, and have a fuel injection clean done. I replaced all items and conducted the fuel injection clean as suggested. Problem still exists and is not resolved. Dealer and local shop say that the injectors may need to be replaced as this is a constant issue with this engine. Vehicle has 95,000 miles. Fuel injectors seem to be the culprit. My vehicle is available for inspection. During the misfires, the car suddenly lost engine power and momentum. This was dangerous as this occurred several times on highway driving. The problem has caused a failed vehicle inspection report at a local shop even when warning lights disappeared. Vehicle has not been inspected by manufacture, insurance, police, or others. Warning lights and symptoms first appeared on march 31st. |

I explained that my steering wheel shakes when I hit the brakes. I was informed that I needed brakes and rotters again. Honda refused to replace the brakes and rotters because I was beyond the warranty. I explained that it was under a year since they did the work therefore it should be covered, they refused. I paid to have brakes and rotters replaced on my vehicle in december 2021. It's now april 2022 and my steering wheel is shaking again and I was informed that I need new breaks and rotters weeks after getting new brakes and rotters for the third time. I am a honda fan and have drove and rooted for honda for over 30 years. This experience has changed my perception of the reliable sedan that I once knew. The biggest issue is that honda could care less about good customer service. |

| Description | I have had multiple instances (since purchasing the vehicle new at the end of the of the 2018 model year (sept 2018) of my 2018 honda accord lx suddenly braking when there was no reason to brake. I talked with my service advisor at dave mungenast honda in st. Louis, mo within the first month of taking delivery of this new vehicle about this issue and was told that nothing is saved (in vehicle memory/hard drive or other) so they would not be able to diagnose unless it had just happened prior to driving in for service. I said it was dangerous but no one was concerned (I told my kids about this and don't let them drive this car, I bought a 2022 honda civic also with honda sensing safety system (with auto braking etc.) and no issues with this car, after 8000 miles, zero issues like the 2018 accord, none.) they said its likely just their honda sensing auto/safety braking system activated and its not perfect. They said if I'm still concerned and when or if it happens again feel free to drive directly to their service department (not practical, since they are not open 24/7 and often not possible to disrupt daily routine. It has happened at least 10+ times since the initial scary episode and I only have about 23,000 miles on this car (with little driving last two years during pandemic). I have had it happen in exactly the same spot 2-3 times. Whenever this happens, it's always the same, the dashboard lights up saying "brake" while the vehicle simultaneously/suddenly applys the brakes, fairly hard. The brakes have never locked up completely but the auto braking is a sudden unexpected moderate to hard brake, only lasting a second or two, and then the braking automatically releases. I'm officially reporting this now, even though my events are not as recent, because I just learned other are experiencing the same issue and I believe this should be addressed by honda and corrected before someone is injured or killed in a rear end collision. |

| Description | In the past 2 weeks, my honda accord has suddenly started braking without reason. Once this was on the interstate, the other time it was on an exit ramp from a state highway. I did notice that on the exit ramp, the front of the vehicle was looking into the sun. I have no idea if that can help pinpoint this issue, but I wonder if the cameras/sensors on the front of the vehicle got 'confused' by the high amount of light. This did not cause an accident, but it did cause me great anxiety. |

| Description | I was driving my car and was at the time passing through an intersection and I had no car in front or back of me and out of nowhere my car showed an alert to "brake" and the car slammed on the brakes for me and brought the car to an almost complete stop. This appears to be the phenomenon called phantom braking and it was terrifying if someone had been behind me. |

| Description | automatic braking was activated on several occasions when there was no car or object in sight. This happened twice on the interstate at 70 mph speeds and once along a 40 mph road. Thankfully nobody was close behind or I would have been rear ended and hurt. The dealer says they have no complaints of this issue. Now every time I start the car I turn of the forward collision braking, because I don't trust this software honda uses. Honda needs to do a software update to deactivate this until they can figure out what the problem is. There were no warning lights prior to or now on this car. |

| Description | I want to report that I experienced the random emergency braking that you are currently investigating. It only happened once, about a month ago: I was driving along a paved country road on a straightaway (~40mph). Daytime/clear, dry paved roads. There was no traffic in either direction and no wildlife in my path. The car braked very hard very suddenly. The brake warning light did come on. Had there been someone behind me, my car would have been rear-ended. I was alone and uninjured. I did not report this to the dealer, even though I'm positive that there was no visible object in the roadway that would trigger the sudden braking. |

| Description | For the past three years, I have leased a 2018 honda accord which I got for my wife and my child due to the "safety features " of the vehicle. But all of a sudden throughout the years it has been breaking out of nowhere while driving on the highway with no objects obstructing front or sides. It was a kind of scary going from 70 mph for almost a complete stop in the times that it happened luckily there was no vehicle following close behind of could have been a pretty bad rear-end collision. I never took the vehicle in for repairs as it did it a total of 5 times in the three years. Now that I have purchased the vehicle it has a front camera issue that has disabled all safety driving features which are being looked into. The fact that other know honda owners have experienced the same issue seems like a honda needs to look into this problem. |

| Description | The car will automatically brake itself when no car in anywhere close to being in front of me. This only happens when I am going from the current lane to a left hand turn lane. It only happens when I do not have my blinkers activated. The braking does not happen when I use my blinkers. My best guess is the the use of the blinkers deactivates or overrides the sensors. This issue only happens at one particular turn near my house. I believe it has something to do with the lines painted on the road and how the sensors are reading them, but that is just a theory. This happens every time I drive by this intersection. |

| Description | Whilst driving on the freeway, on multiple occasions, the automatic emergency braking system of the car engaged even though there was no car near me whether in front, to the sides or behind. On one of the occasions the automatic breaks kicked in with no car around me or in front of me, I estimate I was travelling around 60 mph and the car immediately braked down straight to around 30-40 mph. If there had been a car travelling behind me I most certainly would have been rear ended. This issue is clearly a safety risk for myself and other drivers. Unfortunately, in my research online I haven't seen anything from honda regarding this issue. I have not addressed this issue with the honda dealer as per my research online from reports from other people with the same issue, the dealer doesn't do anything about the issue, therefore I haven't bothered taking the vehicle into the dealer. This braking issue occurred soon after I purchased the vehicle in february of 2018, within a month or two as I recall. There were no warning lamps or messages or symptoms prior to the problem ocurring. |

This has happened when the car was being driven in heavy traffic at highway speeds and (the latest occurrence) when the car was stationary but traffic on each side was accelerating. Except for the time the car was stationary I could feel the car was being braked at a moderate rate and each time the dashboard instruments were lit up orange. Each time the event resolved by itself in a second or two and did not recure for months/years. I have not complained to the dealer as the symptom is so random. |

Luckily no other cars were nearby so there was little chance of being rear ended. There were no injuries or accidents as a result of this braking incident. Scared me half to death though! This has only happened the one time. The car is available for inspection as needed. I have never mentioned this to honda as it only occurred once.

My 2018 honda accord sport has done this maybe 15-20 times, in most cases with no visual or audible alert before braking. There have however been a few instances when the vehicle does sound a visual and audible alert for no reason, but doesn't brake. Here's a clue: there are two very specific areas near our home in which it seems to happen most (I can tell you the specific areas if you are interested).

All of the above issues have the ability to put mine and others at risks of injury or worse if not properly addressed! Thankfully, there were no injuries or accidents. I took it to the honda dealership and left it, the tech called and told me that I had a problem with the fuel induction and I needed battery, which does not address any of the issues- so I feel like no one is taking these issues serious which is a problem. I am sure there are some details that I have forgotten, I will resubmit if that is the case. Please do something to address these issues. This vehicle is only 3 years old and should not have these major issues. With so many complaints of the same issues with the same model and year, I am appalled that nthsa nor honda is taking this seriously enough to issue a recalls or open an investigation.

Front interior lights will turn on then turn off, sometimes immediately, and this has all been in the last year they've compiled. Closer to when I got my car a couple of years ago, the cruise control would just turn off and the automatic braking would start to slow the vehicle down. I attribute this to the "emergency braking" feature that would stop me with nothing in front of me, so it has been disabled ever since. Unfortunately my car doesn't fall under the vin registry for the software recall, and from the looks of the other complaints this seems to be common problem with this car. If these issues are present I'm not sure why honda would be so reluctant to accept that the recall affected a larger number of vehicles than they had initially thought. May have to get in contact with honda corporate. |

| Description | Rear brake pads wore out prematurely due to electric parking brake malfunction. Three different service writers at the honda dealership acknowledged this as a known issue and stated they've seen it multiple times on this model. Honda refuses to acknowledge the issue and take responsibility. Front brakes show no signs of premature wear and are still in good “safe†condition. Mechanic at non-honda service center agreed rear brakes wore out long before they should have and in a manner not related to normal wear and tear. |

| Description | The door locks on my vehicle don't always work as they should. Often times only one or two of the doors lock and unlock, and it is not always the same two doors. I was told that the bcm recall would likely fix the problem when I took in for recall about a year or so ago. During my most recent trip on january 14, 2022, I was told that the problem is my actuators. After a quick inquiry I found that honda has experienced this issue with this model before as well as other models. I wasn't aware that the locks weren't engaging for quite some time which meant that I was driving with unlocked car doors. There were no indicators that the doors were unlocked. |

| Description | Supplemental restraint system malfunction which could lead to failure of airbags to deploy. This is a fairly new car and the indicator for failure of this system appeared with no prior collision, deployment of airbags, or tampering with system. Non-deployment of airbags in the event of a collision is a major safety hazard due to a randomly malfunctioning system. The problem has not been confirmed by dealer or independent service and has not been inspected. There is a warning message that appears that does not state what the issue with the restraint system is (electronic or mechanical). |

| Description | All warning indicator lights came on and I took car to a certified auto mechanic who said it was caused by the fuel pump problems surrounding honda cars. Said it affected the fuel injectors (mis-fire) and I should take it to honda dealer for fix. Honda dealer said this vin of my 2018 honda is not on the recall. I asked about being covered by the 5 year power train warranty and was told that this did not fall under that warranty. The auto mechanic said he would have to charge around 00 to replace the fuel injector (1), but the others would probably go bad unless everything (pump and injectors) were replaced. There over 500 complaints with nhtsa on this year model and over 200 of those are similar problems that match prior recalls for same model and year but different vin numbers. The reports from honda to nhtsa regarding selected "recall" units does not prevent other problems identified due to indian defective parts surrounding the fuel pump problems. If I read all the details correctly only hundreds of just 10,000 recalls have been completed. Why would honda/nhtsa not want to include the few other hundred that may be present to prevent accidents and uphold the honda reputation of quality? |

| Description | This has occurred on two separate dates. While using econ mode and driving on the highway I went to accelerate to pass another vehicle and the car started shaking and the check engine light started flashing. I could no longer accelerate with traffic traveling at speeds of 70 behind me. I was able to safely maneuver my car to the should of the highway. I turned it off for a few minutes and turned it back on and it operated perfectly fine with no engine light on anymore. The second time it happened the car forced the econ mode off while flashing the check engine light, but kept shaking until I pulled over and turned off the car for a few minutes. I will be taking it to the dealer. Had there not been a highway shoulder I would've had to force my way across 4 lanes on a 70mph highway while being unable to accelerate or come to a complete stop in the fast lane which is a major safety issue. |

I figured this made sense because I am usually riding alone so this door gets more of a work out. But last month the passenger rear door lock stopped working as well. I purchased the extended warranty so both of the locks were fixed after a 0 deductible for each occurrence. This morning I notice my driver side rear door would not unlock. I figured I can't be the only person experiencing this issue. |

I had them resurfaced this summer when taking my vehicle in for the previous oil change and routine maintenance. After reviewing several online posts and videos, I discovered several other honda accord owners reporting that their back brakes are wearing out much earlier than anticipated. This makes me think there is an underlying issue and defect in the braking system. |

| Description | While driving on highway bridge at highway speeds (65 mph) the sunroof glass suddenly exploded and shattered. The interior shade was closed, so no glass entered the vehicle. There was a loud bang and then wind could be heard coming through the sunroof. There was no apparent damage to the sunroof glass prior to this incident and there was no evidence that an object had hit the roof of the vehicle. There was no other vehicle in front of or beside this vehicle at the time of the incident. No object was seen coming at the vehicle prior to the incident. The hole in the glass was nearly the entire size of the sunroof opening. Pictures are attached. Had the interior shade not have been closed, this incident could have been far worse since it happened while driving at fast speed across a high bridge. A safety recall should be investigated. |

| Description | While using adaptive cruise control the collision mitigation braking system turns off with no rhyme or reason. This happens often ... 5 to 10 times per month depending upon how many miles I use the car that month. The speed of the car doesn't matter. When the cmbs turns off, the acc also does not function. The only way to reset is to restart the car. This has happened ever since I purchased the car (new in 2018) but happens more often as time passes. I've reported this to the dealer twice. The first time I was told that the camera lens are probably dirty. (I've thoroughly cleaned the lens to no avail.) the second time the dealer updated the software. That did not solve the problem. The car has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealer. Warning lamps and messages appear when the cmbs goes out. |

| Description | The construction of the driver's seat in this 2018 honda accord is poorly made. There is not enough padding in the seat to protect the body from the mechanical steel inner workings of the seat. I can feel the inner workings of the seat when I drive this car. I previously owned a honda crv and I know that this is not normal. The crv was and still is a very comfortable vehicle as our daughter now owns it. There would not be any protection for the driver of this 2018 honda accord upon impact with another vehicle. Now I know why this vehicle had only 5161 miles on it when we purchased it july 12, 2021. It is that uncomfortable. I only drive it to the grocery store and back. I suspect that was the case with the previous owner as well. Otherwise, this car looks to be in pristine condition as it obviously was garage kept and still is garage kept. It feels like a jalopy. |

| Description | My vehicle is a 2018 honda accord hybrid with 12,075 miles on the odometer. I was driving to work in the morning of 09/22/2021. The condition was dry and the outside temperature was around 60 degrees. I was merging onto the interstate in sport mode when all-of-the-sudden my car went into a limp mode. The check engine light began flashing and car lost 90% of its power. The engine made a knocking noise and began to shudder violently. I tried to switch it out of sport mode to get it back into eco but the message displayed on the dash said something like "unavailable at this time." I was about a mile and a half away from work and was able to creep along the road to make it there as it was losing more and more power. When I got to work (with the engine still running) I lifted the hood and the engine was still shaking hard. I scheduled an appointment with the local dealership to have it looked at that afternoon at 2:00 pm. When I drove it to the dealership 3 miles away, the check engine light was no longer flashing and the engine seemed to run fine. When I called the service advisor later that afternoon to check the status of my car he told me, "the technician drove the car around with the scan tool plugged into it and it drove fine. He wasn't able to pull any codes from the pcm." I find it to be odd. In my experience, whenever the cel illuminates, a malfunction code will be stored in the pcm until it is cleared. Why would honda program the pcm to reset and hide the malfunction code so that we're not able to diagnose the issue? I did take the car into the dealership earlier this year to get a warranty battery replacement and to perform 2 recalls (one was an emission recall and the other was for the bcm). |

Fortunately I was able to turn onto a side street each time. I turned off the the engine and after a few minutes restarted... Only once was I able to regain power and drive home with normal power. My car went to the dealership each time, and they have told me they cannot duplicate the issue. And now the dealership has had my vehicle for almost 2 months. The service agent said he has never seen anything like it, and when I mentioned specific articles about the turbocharged 1. 5 engine online, he discounted them saying, "anyone can write stuff on the internet". Honda dealership and honda corporate has no solutions, other than just live with it. A car slowing down in heavy traffic or on the expressway is a major accident waiting to happen, and honda doesn't seem to care. |

I have gotten an estimate and am awaiting a response from honda on whether they will cover the repair which is estimated at 00 as they will have to strip the entire roof to fix. I would like this noted as this is a manufacturing defect. I live in southern california and the car is inside when parked. |

| Description | [xxx] yesterday around 11:15am cdt I was traveling north at 45 mph right lane (4 lane road) no other cars around me (neither ahead, to the side or behind) and just before I reached a tree shaded spot on the road the break alert light started flashing and the automatic emergency braking system engaged and slammed on the brakes (seemed like it cut the gas or electric power to the engine as my foot was on the accelerator pedal). It jarred my body and later in the evening my neck started to tighten up so I must have incurred whiplash. I looked on line and saw that there has been a class action case filed in 2019 about honda's asbs engaging with no other vehicle around citing several other instances similar of what happened to me yesterday. When I went to unload my groceries that I had just purchased and placed in the cargo netting in the cars trunk, the force of the hard stop was so great that it pulled the clip that was holding the cargo netting out. I'll attach a couple of pictures (clip that popped out is circled in red.) I've not contacted my doctor yet about the whiplash. Started putting cold and hot on my neck and taking aleve.

| Description | 2018 honda accord had been parked for less than an hour while shopping. On return, entered car, put foot on brake and pushed the start button, immediate back pressure on brake pedal, audio warning of electrical system failure, messages on dash of electrical brake system failure (reason for this report), etc. Car would not start. Called dealer and they said to bring it in, there was nothing they could advise over the phone. Had the car towed to the dealer. Once there, first thing I was asked was whether the person who towed the car had attempted to jump start it. He had not. Service person said problem source was probably the battery which they said was drained, claimed there were electrical systems in the car that could drain the battery when the car was off, something I had never heard of before and I am still skeptical about. Car remained at dealer for a day and a half running diagnostics, etc. And they could find nothing wrong, even the battery, once recharged, was deemed good. Wife is now worried about driving the car and what might happen if the brake system failed. After researching 2018 honda accord electrical system problems online, I no longer have confidence in the vehicle's safety/reliability. Too many reports with no problem source determination nor resolution which is the category I'm sure this one is going to be added to. |

Now, my car won't turn on but all the lights come on including every warning notice on the panel. I see now that there is a recall which I am taking it in for tomorrow. This vehicle is proving to be a lemon. |

| Description | Vehicle suddenly accelerated one day as if someone had pushed on gas almost causing an accident. Next day vehicle began lagging and suddenly stopped with all lights and warnings going off. Everything from lane departure to emissions issues. Both issues could have easily caused accidents. Looking issues up I see that several honda's of this year are being recalled for fuel pumps but not mine. Several others have had similar issues with their vehicle as well and not being recalled. Vehicle is only 3 years old and less than 40k miles on it. This sudden acceleration or deceleration and dying is going to get someone hurt. |

| Description | Fuel pump failed in vehicle 3 seperate times. All three times the vehicle had every warning light on including emissions system, cruise control disabled, lane keeper assistance disabled, power steering disabled and 7 other warning lights. Vehicle was brought into a honda dealership 3 times and issue was diagnosed 3 different ways. Issue #1 was rodents chewed wires, issue #2 was cmp sensor error, issue #3 was the fuel pump needed to be replaced. Because of the fuel pump the engine would stall/not be able to accelerate almost causing an accident because car would stall if gas pedal was pressed down as normal to reach normal speeds. Dealership confirmed the warning lights and sluggish acceleration and stalling of the engine. Recalls are available for some 2018-2019 and 2020 accords but according to my vin my car was supposedly not included. Issues first appeared around almost at the 3 year mark and vehicle was just over 15. 5k miles. |

| Description | I was on a very busy interstate highway during a rainstorm going between 60 and 70 mph. I was in the left lane when the check engine light came on and it went into limp home mode and my speed was immediately reduced in heavy traffic. I was lucky enough to move to the slow lane and then to the break down lane and get to an exit. I pulled in at an area I could shut the car off. I let it sit for about 15 minutes and started the car and the check engine light was off and everything has been normal since then. This was extremely dangerous . The speed dropped below 40 very suddenly and then 30 and then 20 on an interstate. The next day I went to the local honda dealer and described what had happened and they said they had seen this happen before and talked about the radar and the collision mitigation system possibly being the problem. They said they never saw any codes set in the other vehicles so since mine was off I did not have it checked. I have recently had it checked at my local honda dealer for transmission issues and they could not find anything either concerning the check engine light , but it has been a couple of months since the incident. |

| Description | I was driving home in the rain on the interstate when my car suddenly braked on its own. Luckily, no one was immediately around me at the time because the sudden braking resulted in my car sliding into the lane to the right of me, towards the cars in the next lane over. It spun to where I was facing the oncoming traffic and sliding toward the dividing wall with the passenger side to the wall. I missed the wall, but the car did a complete circle and came to a stop straddling the fast lane and facing the wall. I was able to pull the car off to the shoulder next to the wall. I did not hit anybody or anything. When I calmed down, I took the car straight to dealer to have the brakes checked. They kept the car overnight. That night I went online and found others had reported similar incidents of the automatic emergency braking system engaging unnecessarily on its own and realized that was what had happened to me. I also had a previous incident where system braked harder than necessary. The next day the service techs had found nothing wrong with the brakes. When I told the service manager about the aebs problems I had read about, I told him I wanted it disconnected. He told me they could not do that and until honda came up with a fix for the problem, they couldn't do anything. I looked online again and discovered honda had replied to questions about the aebs engaging when it should not and said they had addressed the problem in the owner's manual. I found an online manual and found that I can turn the collision mitigation braking system off. It resets automatically so I have to turn it off each time I start the car. I have not driven the car any distance yet since I have not returned to work yet but plan on turning it off and see if it really does turn it off and corrects the problem. Currently, I have no confidence in the car and am afraid of it happening again. |

| Description | The fuel pumps, made by supplier denso, were "exposed to production solvent drying for longer periods of time" during manufacturing, according to the nhtsa recall report, which could cause surface cracking and excessive fuel absorption and eventually cause the impeller to become deformed and fail. The fuel pumps on vehicles produced outside limited dates given on the report do not have the problem. This recall did not include the 2018 honda accord models even though they are having the exact same issues. My car is stalling the emissions warning light is on along with the adaptive cruise control, lane departure, and the collision mitigation. I feel this should be included in the recall the put in place last year being that is is the same issues. My vehicle would stall in a parking spot at my home when I'm first starting it. It would flash a warning like a car is in front of me randomly when nothing is there. I haven't got into a wreak but I free that I may be in one if this issue isn't fixed and being that this was an issue with previous models I shouldn't have to come out of pocket. I brought this car brand new off the lot. There is no reason why I should be changing the fuel injector 3 years later. |

| Description | I2 weeks ago I had my car's computer system updated as per the recall notice. Everything was fine then 2 days ago I noticed on the heads up display "cruise) which had never been there before. I set the speed at 65 on the freeway and it held the speed fine, however, as I approached another vehicle from behind it did not slow down to match the speed of the other car. I had to brake to avoid hitting it. I tried using the interval button to set the distance from the other vehicle but it did not work. I took the car to the dealer this morning 3/23/2021 and after 90 minutes they called me out to let me know what happened. Apparently, if you hold the interval button down for 2-5 seconds it disengages the adaptive cruise control and the car is reverted to an older system that does not sense the spacing while on cruise control. I explained to them that I never had touched the interval button prior to the car reverting to this older system and it went to it by itself. If I remember correctly it went to this system while in motion by itself and only since I had the updated system installed due to the recall. If I hadn't been paying attention I would have rear ended the car in frontof me. |

According to the dealer, it is a known-issue with the automatic noise cancelling system in 2018 honda accords and later. Honda hasn't been able to fix this issue in over 3 years. It is extremely distracting to the driver, not to mention unsafe to have to drive with the window open in freezing temperature and rain.

The car jerks as the brakes are automatically applied, while my foot is on the gas pedal. Then the brake is released, the whole event takes seconds. In fact it has happened when there has been no cars in sight. It has happened mostly on local roads going 45-50 miles, but has occured on a highway going around 65 mph. Purchased car in 2018, starting happening in 2019 and continues untill today. When I told honda service, they said maybe the sensor for the braking system was dirty. I am concerned an accident will happen, if the brakes go on and there is no car in front but a car in back, its unsafe. |

| Description | I was driving on the highway at about 65 miles/hour when I began to hear a hissing sound coming from the left most air vent. Within seconds, a strong electrical or burning rubber smell began to fill the cabin. The hissing sound eventually subsided. Shortly thereafter, white smoke began to come through the air vents. The smoke lasted for about 45-60 seconds. First thing the next morning, I took the vehicle to my local honda dealer to have the issue fixed under warranty. They had the vehicle for 4 working days but could not find anything wrong with it, and instructed me to bring the vehicle back to them if it happens again. They did say that the car had a code for a "fault in the blower motor circuit", but said that that was probably nothing to worry about. As of march 4th 2021, this issue has not reappeared since the initial occurrence. |

| Description | At highway speeds, 55 mph or faster, on several occasions the steering becomes difficult to hold the car in a straight line. The steering becomes harder than normal to initiate a turn of the steering wheel. After applying more pressure than normal, the steering wheel will suddenly move causing a larger than desired steering correction. Because of the extra-large steering correction another correction will be needed in the other direction, but the steering resist turning in the other direction until extra force is applied to the steering wheel, then the steering wheel will suddenly move and cause an overcorrection in the other direction. This problem has only happened after driving the car for more than an hour, usually after 3 hours. The steering problem can still be present after stopping at a rest area and turning the car off, but when the problem does finally go away it is always after the car has been turned off. The problem when present does not always cause the same resistance to turning the steering wheel. Sometimes the problem is slight and others it is very severe to the point where it is very difficult to keep the car in the lane using 2 hands there are 19 complaints on the nhtsa website for the same problem with the 2018 honda accord. Feb of 2020 flow honda of winston-salem replaced the rack and pinion and I didn't have any further problem until recently when on a trip from nc to fl when the steering problem reappeared. After stopping at a rest area for a 15 min. Stop the steering problem was gone. This was the first occurrence of the problem since the rack and pinion was replaced. On the nhtsa website there are 2 people who complain that their steering problem reappeared after the rack and pinion had been replaced. On feb. 8, 2021 I returned the accord to flow honda of w-s for the 4th time and was told there was nothing they could do. |

| Description | When I went to the honda dealer in 2019 to change my oil, they have said that my rear brake pads need to be replaced even though I have had the vehicle for a couple of months. It was very bizarre to me as the car is fwd and the engine is in the front, thus making more stress on the front brake pads instead of the rear brake pads. Other honda accord 2018-2020 owners have complained of this same issue and I hope it can be resolved as it seems that the rear brake pads wear off too fast. The car was stationary at the time of notice. |

| Description | A few months after buying the 2018 accord, honda had to put a software update, which they claimed was going to address and issue with the back-up camera (which always seemed to work fine, at least on my car). Shortly after the update, the infotainment unit had started to randomly (and rather frequently) reset itself every few day. Honda (after some trips to the dealer and several attempts to reach out to the honda of america hq) had failed to acknowledge the issue and, eventually, begrudgingly had admitted to the problem; however, they had failed to produce a fix for months. My vehicle still does not have a fix applied and keeps having resets. I have spoken with a 2018 honda odyssey (which uses the same system), who finally gave up and got rid of the vehicle due to the number of recalls (and, to some extent, very poor handling of the issues by honda dealer(s) and honda), but they had to have their unit physically replaced. Supposedly, there now a recall, but you have to take the vehicle to the dealer (surprise, not). As it stands, honda may have used a piece of hw which has a built-in failure (this could be more insidious than just a sw fix) and is refusing to address it in hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Why can't this be done via a 'simple' sw update the way 21st century car-makers do? Or is honda simply hiding an inevitable failure via sw update? On the noted date, this was yet another reset of the unit. The vehicle now has about 27,500 miles, but has exhibited this behavior for thousands of miles/over a year. |

| Description | The 2018 accords have a system called "brake hold" which is intended to engage the braking system while a vehicle is stopped at, say, a stop-light. The intent seems to be to allow the driver to have their foot on the gas, instead of the brake pedal. The brake hold system frequently has an issue where it allows the vehicle to creep. This, generally, seems to happen in colder temperatures. Another, pattern of behavior is when the vehicle has been brought to a slow roll, then stopped (using the brake pedal) and as soon as the brake pedal is release, the brake hold system fails to hold the vehicle in the stopped position. After a significant delay, the brake system is engaged, but the vehicles had, at that point, lurched forward several inches, if not over a foot. This indicates (just as with the collision mitigation system delays, discussed in other complaints) that there is a significant issue with the timing of the control system utilized in the brake hold, the sensor(s) or both, where the system fails to detect the conditions in real time and reacts in a delayed manner. Again, as with other issues on the later honda models, honda has failed to perform comprehensive troubleshooting of the issue (even after me taking the vehicle to the dealer as indicated by honda. This is a complaint for a separately occurring instance. |

| Description | I was following my wife's car on the expressway. Her speed was 55 mph. I had the adaptive cruise control (acc) on my vehicle set for 70 mph, so naturally I was only 'pacing' her at her slower speed, about four car-lengths back. Suddenly, my car accelerated rapidly toward my wife's car in front of me. I had to hit the brakes to avoid a collision. At that moment, a warning appeared on the instrument panel stating that radar obstructed. But even then, I was able to recreate the same scenario four more times before turning off acc for the rest of the trip. I also noticed that while the car was surging forward, the instrument panel indicated that there was no car in front of me, even though there clearly was. It was almost as if my car 'couldn't see' and decided to accelerate anyway. The system should have failed in a safe manner, but it clearly did not. |

| Description | All lights in my dash came on, brake, engine, steering, collision, acceleration. I took it in to priority honda and was told it was cracked spark plugs and it was fixed. I paid 0. Six days later same thing. Same dealership looked at it. Said it was fix, sent me on my way, but told me they would replace spark plug cover. Same issue happened again. Now back in the shop for a 4th time. Was told I had bad fuel injectors. Cost 00, but I would have to pay 0 deductible. Probably is my car was brand new when purchased and I'm under 5yr, 60,000 mile warranty. So why am I paying anything if it is a powertrain failure and I'm under warranty. Please help. These incidents happen as soon as I started my car, and I took it straight to the dealership when it did. The last incident was december 5, 2020. Before that was twice in november but I would have to verify exact date based on when I took it to the dealership. This is the only place I service my car, and the customer service has been subpar. I couldn't even get a complimentary rental unless I paid out of pocket. |

| Description | There is a humming coming from the rear speakers. It seems to be coming from the noise canceling system. There are a few different forums where people are talking about it. My car is a 2018, and there are people with 2020 vehicles complaining the problem still exists with the new vehicles. I have taken it to the dealer a couple of times, but they have no answers. You can check https://www. Cargurus. Com/cars/discussion-t75510_ds980301? Sntemlid=5110927846#msg1127217 for one thread. I have also recorded the sound and put it on https://youtu.

| Description | While driving in the highway at night, the vehicle warns potential collision and tries to brake automatically. When I step on the brake and push a little, the warning goes away. This is especially dangerous because at 50 or 60 mph the car warns and tries to brake hard. God knows when the car brakes one day really hard and causes accident for a faulty sensor. There's always nothing ahead when the emergency brake warning comes. When the warning comes, there's always absolutely nothing ahead, simply empty road ahead. This issue has been happening for over a year. |

| Description | 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 |

| Description | Driving down the highway going 70mph and check engine light starts flashing. Car stops accelerating I limp over to the median. I turn the vehicle off and turn it back on. The car has a solid check engine on along with all the assisting lights on. The car accelerates like normal and when I get home I disconnect the battery and everything clears once I reconnect. In another instance I go to turn my car on the check engine light stays on but the vehicle won't go past 1500 rpms and it's basically in limp mode with the check engine light on again to go along with road departure system, vehicle stability system, tire pressure monitoring, brake system, electric power steering, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control , collision mitigation and emission system warnings all light up. I did the same thing disconnect the battery and again they all go away. This has been going on for a month. At least 9 times where all the warning lights come on along with the check engine light. Once when I'm traveling as explained and 2 times where it goes into limp mode from the start. Took vehicle to a friend and got a p0303 cylinder 3 misfire. Having done research of the code noticed that 2012-2018 honda's have had similar issues addressed by a bulletin and extended the warranty for those vehicles. My car has 70k and it's currently out of the warranty period. Thank you. |

| Description | In december 2019, my car air conditioner was making an unusal noise when being turned on. I took the car to the dealer and the technician there said that the air condenser was leaking. He added that it would be a >00 charge to fix this issue. At that time, because the weather was not too hot, the air conditioner was not a big issue so I did not fix it then. However, in june 2020, the air conditioner was blowing warm air and it was a hot summer so I had to pay >00 to fix it by the dealer. I saw the recall for honda civic model of the same year being claimed for the same issue so I talked to the manufacturer, but they were saying that the recall does not apply to honda accord models. However, my brother, who has the same model of the same year, had the same issue so he had to fix the problem as well. I also have seen several similar cases with the air conditioner of the same model manufactured in the same year. I believe, just like the civic models, a thorough investigation needs to be performed about this issue. If you google "honda accord air conditioner', it is not difficult to find the issue. I hope my appeal prevents any unfortunate, unexpected and still unfair cost to the vehicle owners. This is an air conditioning problem so in summer this could be a safety issue. Please investigate this issue thoroughly. - owner of 2018 honda accord |

| Description | The cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) had another failure. This is due to the radar sensor being blocked and then other safety systems in the vehicle having cascading failures. Last winter, the radar sensor had failed catastrophically and I had to take the vehicle in to the dealer where they, supposedly, performed some sort of an adjustment. During a phone call with a honda representative, the representative claimed that "this would never happen again." however, what happens now is I get an error message claiming that there is a failure in the cmbs system, every time the radar sensor is blocked, directing me to "take the vehicle to the dealer." hence, she lied. Furthermore, the failures indicate honda's failure in producing a safety system that is reliable in a wide range of weather conditions. Honda ceo recently claimed that honda will be producing level 3 autonomous vehicles. That is horrifying, considering honda can't even make a cmbs and a radar sensor that does not fail constantly. Please, please, please make honda recall all the models which use the radar sensor and the cmbs that is similar to the one in the 2018 accord before someone gets really hurt. Please. |

| Description | The 2018 accords have a system called "brake hold" which is intended to engage the braking system while a vehicle is stopped at, say, a stop-light. The intent seems to be to allow the driver to have their foot on the gas, instead of the brake pedal. The brake hold system frequently has an issue where it allows the vehicle to creep. This, generally, seems to happen in colder temperatures. Another, pattern of behavior is when the vehicle has been brought to a slow roll, then stopped (using the brake pedal) and as soon as the brake pedal is release, the brake hold system fails to hold the vehicle in the stopped position. After a significant delay, the brake system is engaged, but the vehicles had, at that point, lurched forward several inches, if not over a foot. This indicates (just as with the collision mitigation system delays, discussed in other complaints) that there is a significant issue with the timing of the control system utilized in the brake hold, the sensor(s) or both, where the system fails to detect the conditions in real time and reacts in a delayed manner. Again, as with other issues on the later honda models, honda has failed to perform comprehensive troubleshooting of the issue (even after me taking the vehicle to the dealer as indicated by honda)> |

So when I was about to leave from the place where I were I star the engine and it didn't work and all the light go on like crazy and 3 message showed on the screen that said it was safety to drive and there's a problem with the break system problem , anti-break system problem and tire pressure monitor system. So I called the dealer and they told me that maybe it was something wrong with the battery so they told to turn off and turn the engine on again and they told me that he drives it for a certain time and all the lights on the dash go out and since maybe it was because of the high temperatures we had. But it was like that I mean the car is still running "good" but I'm not fell safety . I already took the the dealer where I bought and first time they didn't do anything because all the light go out so they said they didn't found anything so the second time the happened the same thing I recorded a video and photos so I show them an the way the star doing a full check of everything so they didn't found any thing and still appears those 3 message a when I star the engine not all the time but they didn't fixed anything and they don't want to change for r another car ..

| Description | The seals around the doors, weather stripping is coming lose, seats are falling apart, the radio and navigation screen will go black and reboot itself. The collision control system will get you killed if you're not careful. I was getting onto the highway from a traffic light, had my turn signal on. As I'm merging onto the highway going about 50 mph, the car thinks I've fallen asleep or something. The car forcibly takes me back into the right lane and downshifts the car while braking? Scared me to death. I was told it was because I didn't have a turn signal on. Luckily it was 3am or I could've been smashed. Also, the brake light will flash at times, no one is in front of you. Or it flashes like you're about to hit someone but doesn't do anything but flash. Also, if you drive any length, it system will state that the driver has low attention span. Not sure why, it's not like I'm weaving. I think the car needs to feel some movement of the steering or it thinks you're nodding off. The car salesman warned me that the new bells and whistles, technology, could have issues because the tech is new but nothing specific. Try to sell me 3800 in warranty to cover tech. Thought it was strange at the time. Now, I'm thinking that he knew specifics and didn't share. |

| Description | Intermittenly (I. E. Every so many hundreds of miles), the vehicle has extremely violent shifts at low speeds (2-20 miles), where upon shifts it almost feels as if the vehicle has been re-ended. Honda has not properly investigated issue as their usual m. O. Is to send the customer to the dealer where the vehicle is driven for a couple of hours for "troubleshooting" which, of course, is not sufficient time-span for the issue to manifest itself. As with a number of other issues in the 2016-2020 honda models, honda has not properly investigated this issue and it is another potential foreshadowing of a mass failure just as honda had with the automatic transmission in the 2000-2017 time span.

| Description | On 10/29/2020, while changing lanes, the vehicle abruptly cut the power and slammed the brakes, while flashing "brake" on the instrument panel. There were no vehicle in close proximity in the lane in to which the change was performed. The radar sensor on the vehicle has previously cause a number of issues and this was an extreme case of the cmbs (collision mitigation brake system) reacting improperly. The vehicle deceleration was abrupt to the point of potentially causing the incoming traffic in the new lane impacting the vehicle from behind. Honda's representatives had sworn last winter, when the radar sensor had malfunctioned to the point of causing a catastrophic failure that cascaded to several of the vehicle's safety systems that "issues would not happen again." that was a lie. Currently, there is a class action lawsuit against honda related to the safety system in the cr-v models: https://www. Carcomplaints. Com/news/2020/honda-cr-v-sensing-lawsuit-suvs-suddenly-stop. Shtml considering that the similar radar sensors are used in the pilot, odyssey, accord and the cr-vs, an investigation and a recall should be launched for the majority of honda model produced since 2016. Again, the system has malfunctioned a number of times, with honda failing to address the issue properly upon several complaints and visits to a dealer. |

| Description | Early on, after buying the 2018 honda accord it became obvious that the hood on the vehicle vibrates at highway speeds. Then unfortunately, the car had been hit by hail storm. The hood had to be replaced (at least, according to the shop that did the work). The replacement was purchased from a honda dealer and pertained to be oem part. Right away it was obvious that the hood does not fit correctly (without any obvious way to adjust the fit). A second oem hood was ordered with the same lack of tolerances. Following the installation and re-painting of the hood, two separate body specialists tried to make adjustment which resulted in slightly better fit, but still, the hood (just as the original) vibrates (not a little, but an unsettling amount) at highway speeds. Honda already a has a known issue with the pilot model's hood: https://honda. Oemdtc. Com/711/hood-flutter-or-vibration-at-highway-speeds-2016-2019-honda-pilot-2017-2019-ridgeline and now, 2018+ owners are starting to complain about the hood stability at higher speeds as well. When I had initially raised the issue with american honda, they ignored it (and, as they always do, told me to got to the dealer). Since then, honda has done nothing to truly address the problem. An investigation (and a possible recall) should be initiated. |

| Description | Low tire warning light comes on when your tires aren't low. Have seen several complaints online about the same thing. Believe this is dangerous as a person driving on a interstate could ignore the light believing the reading of low tire is false when in reality it may not. Tire goes flat at high speeds or blow out could cause a major accident. Have contacted the dealer and they said they are aware but cannot do anything. Also said the result of the warning could be weather or road conditions. Our vehicle is under warranty with 30,800 miles. There are sending units for each tire. If this has been a problem with honda's then why are they allowed to,keep producing this defect. Light comes on often and it is very aggravating to keep checking the air in our tires every couple of days. It has happened several days as I took it to a tire dealer and they found there was proper air in the tires on 10/26/2020. It doesn't make any difference if the vehicle is moving or stopped. |

Was repeatedly blown off and was told they were contacting honda of america. Honda claims that tree sap caused the paint to peel but the independent body shop I brought it to said that there would be other spots of tree sap and that the tree sap would be very difficult to remove from the car. They specifically stated that this is a bold faced lie. I filed a complaint with honda of america and received a voicemail on 10/7/2020 stating that they were looking into it. I received another voicemail on 10/21/2020 stating that they were standing by the original honda of america representative that the issue was caused by tree sap. The body shop, geist towing and recovery, stated that it is most likely a manufacturing defect and that since honda is lying about the actual cause that they would recommend stripping the entire car and repainting. If they were honest only the sun facing surfaces may require repair. |

I will have a 3rd replacement soon due to the same cracking / fragility of these windshields. These windshields are incredibly soft to the point that they pit rather easily from pebbles hitting at slow speeds. This is dangerous and honda should offer a replacement on all 2018 accords with stronger glass. Many online forums and social media channels with 10th gen accord owners complain of the same issue with the windshields. They are unsafe and causing undue insurance premium increases because of how soft the glass is. |

The manufacturer said to take the vehicle back to the dealer to get the issue fixed. The console piece remains unfixed at this time. The failure mileage was 9,000. |

| Description | The vehicle shifts rough around 20-30 miles per hour. Today when I left the grocery store and was driving slowly through the parking lot, it jerked about 4 times before it decided to drive smoothly. However, on occasion, it has shifted so hard that everything fell off my seat and one time I thought it was going to stall in the intersection when I had started up after waiting for a red light. I've had the car in for service a few times for this problem since it was purchased in may, 2018 and each time I am told nothing is wrong with the car and that is just how it runs. I've had two other hondas and loved them. I doubt this is the way honda intended this vehicle to run. For 2 1/2 years I have dealt with this problem. Also, I contacted honda corporation directly. I received a case number and was told to take it to a different dealer for service. It was the same song and dance. Today I was pricing what my car was worth and I noted that there was a recall on the fuel system. However, when I put in my vin, it says my car is not affected. For a moment there, I thought just maybe I could finally get this problem resolved. No such luck. |

| Description | In january ,I made a right turn into traffic and the car completely stalled on me and stop running. I put it in park and restarted it. This was a very frightening experience, and I felt like I put myself and 2 other passengers in danger. I took it into my dealer coggin honda in fort pierce florida to be checked. They found no obvious reason for this stall. Sometime later, I read about the recall on the fuel pump that described my event exactly as I had experienced it. When I checked the recall, my vin # [xxx] is not included in the recall. I have contacted my dealer and your public relations that said they can not repair my car because its not on the list. I have safely driven hondas for many years but with this situation I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle and hesitate to trade it in for someone else to drive. Can you help me and give my dealer permission to repair or replace this fuel pump at your expense as it should be on the recall list ?

| Description | There is an issue with the steering of the car which so far has only presented itself in winter when the temperatures are lower. It was first noticed in november of 2019 when the car had roughly 18,000 miles. The vehicle was leased to me as a new vehicle, and I am the only person who has spent appreciable time driving this vehicle. When driving at highway speeds of 55+ mph in cold weather, it requires higher than normal effort to move the steering wheel from its on-center position (such as to make minor corrections to maintain lane position). If enough effort is exerted, the steering wheel breaks free and then allows the car to be steered with normal effort until the wheel again remains on-center for a few seconds, at which point it becomes "sticky" again, requiring high effort to move. At this point it only occurs at the conditions described above, but my concern is this could be a significant safety issue should the effort become any higher, requiring such force to move the wheel that the result will be to swerve out of one's lane when it breaks free, or even locking on center altogether, making the car uncontrollable by the driver. It should be noted that I do not believe this is a purely mechanical issue (e. G. An issue with the steering rack) because turning the ignition off returns the steering to normal effort and the "sticking" is resolved. It should also be noted that there are several nhtsa complaints I have found in internet searches that describe precisely the same issue. I have reported it today, 7/23/2020, to the dealer from which I purchased the car - tom kadlec honda in rochester, mn - as I would like to resolve the issue before cold temperatures return. |

Each time there has been no vehicle in front of me or even near me that would cause this to occur. Additionally, each time I was not going any faster than 45-50 mile per hour. The last time this happened the car behind me nearly rear-ended me but avoided an accident by quickly shifting over to the next lane. This action of course caused a potential road rage exchange because the driver had no idea my car had malfunctioned. |

Apparently the freon leaking is flammable. If other vehicles from honda were recalled this could likely be the same issue. This should not be happening on a 2018 model. |

| Description | Ac condenser leaking new type of refrigerant (1234yf) which apparently is flammable. Honda service rep says condenser was "probably" punctured by a foreign object from the road. However, honda has recognized defective condensers leaking refrigerant in 2018 civics and has extended the warranties for 10 years for these and other model years. I suspect that my accord condenser was manufactured with the same or similar defect. I purchased my accord in spring of 2018 at a time when not many were being sold, which may explain why this is not yet a recognized defect. I have also been commuting, until recently, long distances for over 20 years and have never experienced any kind of ac problem or had a foreign object puncture an ac condenser. In any event, as I understand the new refrigerant is flammable, so if this is another manufacturing defect then it should be investigated. *tr |

Sometimes the vehicle will trigger the system with a false positive crash detection and will emergency brake for you and cut the gas so you won't be able to accelerate. However, I have had a few false positives. The first 2 times was a complete horror story. I was driving in a high-speed environment, while a truck was merging on to the freeway, I was supposed to accelerate past him and all of a sudden it beeped and halt to a complete stop on the freeway. Luckily the semi evaded me and I regain control and speed out of the way. 2nd time was almost rear-ended by another semi, I was lucky that people got out of the way for the truck to clear me. The 3rd time occurred just last week on thursday. There was a car 5 car distance from me, left of me has a row of cars making a left, facing the opposite direction. Well, somehow it decided to go ape[xxx] and caused me to get rear-ended by another car. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). *cc *tr |

Most of the complaints I read this problem occurs during long trips, so unless the tech takes the vehicle on a trip the problem will not be duplicated. Maybe the vehicle or a component on the vehicle has to reach a certain temperature for the issue to show. Turning off features I purchased on the car is not a fix!!!

We are lucky that no one was in the cross-walk when this occurred. As you see in the attached receipt, the problem is the tape used when our accord was built. The dealer said that this is happening once per month at their location where cars are brought in with the same problem. The dealer told me that the wires are faulty because rodents are attracted to chew on the cars wires specifically. When we called honda customer service about this issue. The customer service representative said that honda is aware of this issue, and has made rat tape to address it, but that honda is waiting to hit a certain number numbers of complaints so that it is enough to meet its threshold before issuing a full recall. |

Problem shows up at speeds above 40 mph and after car has been at that speed for over approx 3 minutes. At speeds under 40 mph the problem does not exist. |

| Description | Same as other people - I juts copied another persons complaint as its identical and same mileage etc' - this is a real problem' car has almost 15,000 miles. It has developed a strange sticking issue in the steering while driving on the highway. It almost feels like someone is lightly holding onto the wheel as I? M slightly turning and then suddenly let? S go. This causes me to overcorrect to stay in the lane and it becomes a fight to keep the car in between lanes. It is most apparent when exiting freeway ramps and changing lanes, although it? S also apparent on the freeway when small corrections are needed to keep the vehicle in between lanes. The other symptom is that the car has become difficult to keep in a straight line. It requires constant light correction of the steering wheel because the car sways between the lines on the freeway lane. This is incredibly tiresome on a long drive and it has gotten worse over the past 2,000-3,000 miles. Dealer claims nothing is wrong and that it? S the lane keep assist doing it? S job. It? S not doing it? S job if I can? T control the vehicle and makes highway tracking unpredictable. I have turned every assist off and it still does it. |

| Description | On january 4th while traveling home my accord was set in cruise control and out of the blue hit the brakes on it's own with no one around me. I brushed it off but about 20 miles or so down the road it did it again except thus te was next to a diesel and not only did brake on its on it also responded as if I was out my lane and began to to turn my car into the diesel I was able to keep the car from crashing and the the cruise control went out and I began to get a message the there was an issue with the braking mechanism. I was worried about driving the remainder of of my trip but I was an hour and half away from home so traveled on home check my brakes constantly. This experience has my wife and I rattled. I took my car in on the 6th to topeka honda and explained what happened and that the car tried to kill me and my wife by trying to run us into a diesel truck and how it was braking on its own and the took and looked at it . The dealership called me back a stated"there was some gunk on your censor and that cause this to happen and they cleaned it off it was fine" but if the censor is on the front off the csr and gunk makes it not work surely this will happen again. I no longer feel safe nor will I allow my wife to operate this vehicle. |

As a comparison, my wife has a 2017 ex accord with 28,000 miles and it doesn't exhibit any of the symptoms that my 2018 does. Because of the lack of support and knowledge by the dealer, we feel our only choice is to trade this car in as this is not only an annoyance, but a safety issue as well. |

| Description | Here is a description of the safety issues this car continues to have that the manufacturer and two dealers will not fix under the manufacturer's warrantee because they claim they can not duplicate and there are no stored error codes. This car has a lane departure mitigation (ldm) system that has falsely activated many times while the car is centered on the driving lane. The ldm activates by providing a warning on the dashboard and by moving the steering wheel quickly to the left and to the right which distracts the driver (a safety issue) and once caused me to almost steer the car into a semi on my right by compensating for the left steering wheel movement. This car also has a lane keep assist system (lkas) which repeatedly has steered the car off the road. Both these issues have been recorded and provided to ahm and both dealers. These issues happen randomly on city streets and highways. Additionally, this car has issues with randomly displaying an incorrect speed limit on the dashboard (100 mph in a 60 mph zone), falsely warning "steering is required" on the dashboard, a "shift to park" warning while repositioning the car and the engine is on, and the brake assist/anti-collision falsely activating when nothing is directly in the path of the car. All of these happen while the car is operating on city streets and highways. |

| Description | Under certain driving conditions when the car is slowing down while using acc (cruise control) the system will fail causing the brakes to disengage. Ever time this happens 3 times so far I was driving at the posted speed limit. Most time the speed limit was 55 mph. Traffic went from posted limit to an almost complete stop. The car would start to slow down then the system would fail, allowing the car to continue forward almost causing a collision. The message "collision mitigation braking system problem see your dealer" is displayed. Honda has a tsb 19-051 that talks about the issue. When I took the car to dealership about issue they refused to do the tsb. |

The car was immediately taken to the dealer only 2 miles away and when it was inspected I was told both passenger side brakes were down to metal with no pads left. The dealer said something had failed causing the condition which was requiring more parts to be replaced. If we were farther from the dealer ( barber honda bakersfield) this could have resulted in complete brake failure is my understanding. |

| Description | The vehicle had a sudden loss of function in: 1. Road departure mitigation 2. Collision mitigation 3. Adaptive cruise control 4. Braking system the vehicle was in motion at speed of 10-40mph, with air temperature of 28-32 degrees and snowy conditions. Honda has repeatedly refused to investigate numerous, potentially sw/hw - related issues that have been manifesting themselves in other parts of the vehicle. What happened today was a new set of symptoms, but with much higher severity and no obvious precedent. I have already had to disable the lane departure and the collision avoidance systems on this vehicle due to their erratic behavior. However, in this case the messages that have come up (will attache photos) demanded that the vehicle be taken to the dealer and the errors and message did not go away upon multiple restarts of the vehicle. Upon arrival to the dealer, it was indicated to me that honda is aware of some of the other issues I've been experiencing with the vehicle and still (months hence) does not have a fix, and that honda has, essentially, been resorting to testing their vehicle on the customers, instead of more rigorous pre-release testing, instead choosing to use the dealers as a quasi-test/r&d department. The multiple safety system failure I experienced today is a pretty clear indication of that. I have filed another complaint with nthsa related to the other issues and would urge you to initiate a recall on all of the honda accords (and possibly odysseys and pilots as they share some of the sub-systems) for the 2018, 2019 and the coming 2020 models. |

| Description | On sunday night (11/10/19) around 5:15 pm, I was driving down the left lane of a 2-lane highway at ~55 mph. The closest vehicle was no less than 5 car lengths ahead of me. Randomly, the orange "brake" light came on in the dash and the car automatically slammed on the brakes almost to a complete stop causing my head to jolt forward. Luckily the car behind me was able to stop as I started to accelerate again. I believe there was nothing in front of me or on the road that should have caused this safety feature to engage. This was very dangerous and scary. I woke up this morning in excruciating pain from my neck and shoulders down to my lower back. The pain has been getting worse throughout the day and is now radiating down my arms and I have limited range of motion. Last night, I figured out how to turn off the automatic brake feature and have not turned it back on today. |

| Description | The problem we had with this 2018 honda accord, was it wouldn't start. Without warning of low battery or faulty charging or any other indication displayed in the warning or advisory systems of the car previously - it just wouldn't start. First attempt to start the vehicle displayed these system failures on the driver information interface : vehicle stability sys. Prob., brake sys. Prob., anti- lock brake prob., brake hold sys. Prob. In addition, the parking lights came on automatically and could not be selected "off" . Being a sunday morning , we waited until monday morning to call the towing service to bring car to nearest dealer. Tow driver connected a portable charger to the battery- and was able to start the car, but after disconnecting the charger, the car again would not start. The dealers report to us, was that operation of the vehicle radio without the engine running is the cause and effect of the dead battery- so, operator/owner error. (( it's our fault the ,... ( that the battery is weak, low budget and saves the company ( honda motors) money by using cheaper products.)). Now, if this were you, or your wife, or your daughter, or grand mother; or all of them in the car together going to an event like a wedding - and they were suddenly and unexpectedly, without warning .... Stranded on the side of a road in the middle of nowhere, at night, in stormy weather, or worse... Evacuating the area from a tsunami. Would you be concerned ? Or , would you be flippant about it ,.... As a "corporation " often is. " .. Let's wait and see if the government will catch up with us first, and make us do something about it ... " . |

Was told they did not know anything about this type of problem, was not able to book service call until middle of next week in researching online found honda service bulletin 19-051 describing a software update to car modules to fix this problem. I believe that is really should merit a recall as it interferes with the safe driving of the vehicle. A recall will force honda to inform its service dealers and instruct them on a prompt scheduling of required software upgrade to resolve this software defect affecting drivability of their flagship car. |

A minor move to the left, then followed by a minor move to the right and so on. This happens at low speeds and at high speeds (over 60mph the drive can be quite scary).

| Description | (registering this complaint on 16 sep 19). I bought this car new ('18 accord hybrid), 6 sep 18. A couple months later the front struts started making a creaking/popping sound. It was very noticeable when backing out of garage and then driving out of my neighborhood. When I'd rock the steering back and forth, the noise was very audible. Took it back to the dealer and they said neither front strut had been lubed from the factory (very odd), so they lubed them. 2-3 weeks later noise returned. This time dealer said one strut was bad and they replaced it. A month later the same noise returned. Dealer said I had a bent control arm and asked me if I had hit something. I hadn't and told them so. After inspection they said they found no damage but that the control was bent and concluded that it was bent from the factory or was damaged during shipping. Dealer replaced it. But then 3-4 weeks later same noise returned. I have about had it with this particular car (I have had to take it back to the dealer for many 'other' issues also: two recalls, electrical issues, navigation issues, the engine's battery was faulty, and the mileage has steadily dropped by 25% since I bought and took delivery of it in sep, 2018). Service manager said he would discuss these issues with honda area rep (last week), but has yet to get back to me as of 16 sep 19. Among all the problems, the suspension has been ongoing over the last 10-11 months. West hills honda has made three attempts to correct the suspension problems but all have failed. The suspension noise is still present as of 16 sep 19. Vehicle has approximately 8700 miles. |

| Description | Collision mitigation system does not work; initial issue was warning systems went on with no one in front of car. Second time brakes were applied to vehicle with no one in front of car, leading to car induced panic stop on road, thankfully, no one was trailing my car at that time. Honda test drove and could not find anything; since this is sporadic, this was not surprising. Told them it is a very dangerous condition and that this is a well documented complaint on websites; they told us we can turn off front mitigation collision system each time we drive. Requested dealership general manager to report this condition to regional director at honda |

| Description | My 2018 honda accord braked spontaneously for no reason. The word brake appears on the console and the car engages the brakes suddenly and forcefully. I've had several incidents and there were no vehicles or objects in front of my vehicle. During two episodes, I was driving 40 mph when my car braked spontaneously- it caused my head/neck to jerk forward. Fortunately, the vehicles behind me did not tear end me. I called the dealership. They said the brake mitigation system engages when driving through construction zones and told me to turn off the system in construction zones. He said 'that's how the system is designed to work'. I was not in a construction zone. This is extremely dangerous. It appears honda is aware of the problem and is not taking steps to correct it. |

The vehicle was recalled in 2018 to fix defective software that caused the backup camera to not function properly. The camera's collision sensor quit working and failed to warn me of objects in my path when I was backing up. Honda loaded new software, but the problem has persisted. I took it back to the dealer for another repair, but I got the same old song and dance... "gee, it's working fine for us, and we can't fix it if it ain't broke!" well it is broken, and honda won't fix it. This is a serious safety issue, and I hope the nhtsa can help me get it resolved. |

| Description | I was turning right into the parking space for my car at my home with my foot resting on the brake pedal and going at a very slow speed. Then suddenly the car accelerated on its own. I had to step hard on the brake, which made it veer to the right. I was able to make the car stop just short of hitting our other car. This happened once before about a month ago when I was driving in my driveway, again at a very slow speed, this time going straight, when the car accelerated for no reason. Again, I was able to stop the car by slamming on the brakes. |

| Description | Honda's collision mitigation system shuts down, disallowing cruise control and all safety features that are included in the collision mitigation system. Dealer cannot find cause. Turning off the car and restarting it resets it, but when it turns off, there is no clear factor as to why it happened. There is a safety risk if you are using cruise control, as it could fail to brake when the car in front of you slows down. It has happened 4 or 5 times in the past 8 months since I bought it brand new. |

Vehicle is driven in florida and whenever it is parked outside, especially if left in the sun, there is a loud rattle/squeak from the hud area of the dash for some time after. Passengers in the car constantly ask what the noise is. Dealer has been unable to correct the issue and honda is aware of the issue. See nhtsa id number 10136423 dated april 2018. Online research indicates this issue also exists in 2019 models as well. Honda needs to find a solution to this issue and implement a fix for something they have known about for over a year. This is our sixth honda and we are frustrated that something as annoying as this was not discovered and resolved during the vehicle's development and testing. This issue was discovered during our first week of ownership and we have discussed it with the dealer multiple times. They tell us that honda is aware of the issue and are awaiting a fix from honda. Until then there is nothing they can do. |

The first surface of the glass is very "brittle" and easy to chip with the lightest of contact. Chips form easily at low speeds. As compared to other vehicles I have driven, an unusually loud "snapping/cracking" sound occurs upon any windshield contact including bugs and rain. Chips occur in irregular "clusters" upon impact. I have never experienced this on other vehicles. I have tried to ignore the peripheral chips but now they are starting to form in my field of view. Very dissatisfying and disappointing. |

| Description | My vehicle has missing structural adhesive on the front driver side suspension strut tower. It appears the robot that bonds the pieces of metal together with adhesive either had an air bubble in the line when this vehicle was made or there was some other defect. In addition, the transmission shifts extremely rough and nothing has been done by honda to correct the issue. I also had to have bubbles fixed in the paint on the trunk lid. The adaptive cruise control is nearly impossible to use because it does not detect vehicles ahead and accelerates rapidly or applies the brakes abruptly for no reason. American honda was notified of the defect in the suspension strut tower adhesive but refused to send an engineer to look at the car. In my opinion, any missing structural adhesive used to join metal, especially on a highly dressed place such as the strut tower, could easily become a safety defect. I would prefer my vehicle be bought back from honda as it appears to be a lemon. |

| Description | 7/17/19. 2018 accord touring 2. 0 purchased new in november (has about 11,000 miles now). I was driving 65mph on highway when car made loud clunking noise, began to smoke intensely, and shuddered to a stop and died. I was on bluetooth phone call at the time and the person on the other end heard it and asked what it was. I said I thought the engine was on fire. I was able to pull over just as every possible warning light flashed on dash and profuse smoke poured from sides and under hood. I jumped out and moved away from vehicle, seeing a long stream of liquid from under the car along the road where I had pulled over. Fire rescue came, although the car did not ignite. They and the roadside service man advised me that oil had exploded everywhere, as from a high pressure situation. The car has had one oil change at the dealer, per its maintenance schedule, and otherwise has had nothing done. I did hear a strange noise coming from it the previous evening--loud enough that I checked to see if it had any maintenance warnings, which it did not. It said my oil was at 60% and would need a b1 when it was time. After my car died, it required a tow to the dealership. The dealer said they could not even turn it on and they don't know what is wrong, but they need a specialist to come look at it. I'm concerned about how utterly dangerous the situation was. If it had been later in the day with heavier traffic, my life would have been at even greater risk. It seems really unusual to have such a catastrophic failure for no reason on a new, historically reliable vehicle. |

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. |

Police officer was behind me when it happened last. Good thing he had good reflexes and the speed limit was only 45 mph I was in the center of my lane with no obstructions, no vehicles coming from the opposite direction. Turned off the program and haven't used it since. Service department said would have to keep car and test drive until it occurred. I will do this, but am afraid they will be keeping the car for awhile because it happens out of the blue. It's happened twice in a period of two months. I have had the car for four months. Another problem.. Paint is spotting on car like it was hit with acid. Had protective wax put on the week I purchased it. Vehicle has 3500 miles on it. Paint also shows tons of orange peel.

| Description | Collision mitigation, lane assist, road departure, and brake system malfunction before vehicle is a year old causing vehicle to leave roadway when using speeds in excess of 50 mph preventing vehicle from stopping, and/or causing steering wheel to "alert" you of lane departure while driving properly also causing vehicle to "steer" into side of 18 wheeler while traveling speeds in excess of 60mph for interstate travel with passengers in tow. Has happened for roughly 7,000 miles. When brought to honda to be fixed, was told it was not covered under vehicle warranty due to having "clips" broken off of front sensor. Was accused of sensor being hit by something yet no sign of damage. Honda refused to have this fixed and simply "cleared" the alerts causing vehicle to not have use of any safety features but also not show any maintenance codes as well. Honda service manager stated something as simple as a "junebug" can cause this to malfunction and that is why customers carry collision with insurance. States alot about honda's quality if a simple junebug can cause an entire ,000 vehicles safety features to malfunction and a service manager not want to comply with safety standards due to some 2$ broken clips that can break by simply driving down a louisiana roadway. What does this state about these vehicles up north dealing with snow with a sensor that sits underneath the front bumper? |

| Description | Parking at nursery shop, car went out of control speeding and running over the concrete stoper and nursery fence. It was a sudden acceleration and vehicle could not be stopped. The car was moving in slow motion to park and had a sudden acceleration that caused the accident. Very scary. Tried to stop pressing the brakes but the car would not respond. No injuries but it could happen to anyone anywhere. |

| Description | Purchased new 2018 honda accord sport from dealership. While driving the vehicle it will brake with no warning and anything in sight. We see to experience this issue almost on a weekly basis. The vehicle is currently at the dealership for the 3rd time since march. Of course they say they can't replicate the issue and until can't do anything about it. The service manager continually try's to refer us to the owner's manual and stands firm that this is part of the brake mitigation safety system and is "normal". I have personally been driving the vehicle on the highway at roughly 70mph on a clear day with no vehicles in sight, no road construction, straight highway, not merging on or off the road and the system lock down with three children in the backseat. Most recently my girlfriend was driving the vehicle and the brake system locked down causing a gentlemen to swerve off the road to avoid hitting her in the rear end. I'm sick of hearing excuses from honda and the dealership! This is not a safety feature, this is a very dangerous issue. I have been told by the service manger the system can be cut off but I should not have to cut off a "safety" feature on a brand new car with less than 40k miles. I have seen hundreds of complaints on line regarding this issue and I certainly hope it doesn't take someone being killed before honda corrects this issue. I have documented six occurrences of the braking system locking down just in the past month. I have also spoke with honda certified techs & service writers whom have all stated they're aware of the issue and no fix is currently available. If so I suggest honda purchase this 2018 honda accord back! |

| Description | The collision mitigation system and adaptive cruse control (acc) has on two occasions turned off at highway speed - potentially dangerous situation if you are depending on the system to regulate your speed in traffic. The car must be stopped and restarted to reactivate the system. Also, the system at times applies braking when there are no other cars or other obstacles in it's line of sight. This also seems to happen (not always) when overtaking a tractor trailer at highway speed. I have researched this problem on the internet and other honda owners have experienced the same issue, typically with the dealer not being able to find a problem. Apparently the error codes reset when the car is restarted. |

| Description | My vehicle was in motion at 35 mph with no traffic ahead of me and one vehicle to the driver-side rear. With no obstructions in the road or traffic ahead of my vehicle for at least a half mile, the emergency braking system activated flashing a "brake" warning light on the dashboard and locked the brakes causing my vehicle to come to a quick and complete stop in live traffic. Attempts to override the system by applying pressure to the accelerator pedal failed to correct the problem. I estimate that it took between two to three seconds before the system disengaged and I was able to accelerate again to operating speed, narrowly avoiding a collision. |

| Description | Three times now I have had the emergency breaks activate for no reason. No one was injured the first time as the vehicle was moving very slow. The second time this happened though, I was injured. I was driving approx. 45 mph down a busy street when the car stopped without warning and for no apparent reason. I was nearly rear-ended. Not only did this scare me, but I was in extreme pain afterwards. When the pain got worse and I developed bruising on my neck I went to see a specialist and he confirmed that I have whiplash. When I spoke to the mechanic at the dealership I was told that the sensor is just sensitive. They checked it out but offered no solution. I have kept the feature turned off since this happened. The third time it happened with the feature disabled. My son was in the car with me. We were both shaken up pretty badly. I am now scared to drive this car. Every time the dash lights up for any reason, I flinch. I have had to miss work due to the injuries that I received. I am a single mom to five kids, I cannot afford to miss work due to poor design and engineering of this vehicle. I bought this car thinking that this feature was a safety feature. It has certainly proven to be the opposite! |

| Description | I purchased a new 2018 honda accord sport june of 2018. I have had my car into honda more than 7 times for the same issue with the brake mitigation system. The car brakes on its own with no reason. Honda said it could be an air freshener hanging on the rear view mirror, bugs, rain, snow, and even a shadow from a bridge. They say every time I have brought it in that no errors come up in the system so they reset the computer and say it is operating as the vehicle is designed to. I have been in a 75mph or more zone on multiple occasions and the car will brake down to 40 or less in an instant. It sends everything in my vehicle flying. Honda denied a honda buy back because they did a system update for the brake mitigation system that has not been released to the public yet. They are clearly aware of the issue and how dangerous it is but they expect me to continue to drive it. I am too scared to drive this vehicle with the possibility of injuring myself or someone else. Please remove these vehicles from the roads! |

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. |

I need the cruise control and have discovered that if I pull over, turn the car off, then turn it on again the cruise control will function again. Pulling off on the side of an interstate or exit ramp is hazardous. Apparently some people are putting their car in neutral while still driving on interstates, turning the car off, then on again. |

| Description | Active cruise control (acc) failed while driving approx. 40 mph. Approaching the vehicle ahead of me which was rapidly slowing/stopping, the acc failed to slow my vehicle which forced me to manually apply hard braking at the last moment to avoid a collision. When I looked down there was an error message on my instrument cluster which read "collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer". The weather at the time was clear and 62 deg. F, and the vehicle was clean with no dirt nor obstructions on the front radar unit nor the windshield (camera area). The acc could not be restarted until I pulled the car over and shut it down/restarted it, which then cleared the error message and enabled me to reinitiate the acc system. This is a significant safety defect! |

| Description | On 2018 honda accords the adaptive cruise control which is standards on all trim levels, does not brake the vehicle to maintain the set speed when going downhill. This is odd since the vehicle will apply brakes to maintain speed if there's a vehicle in front of the car, but on downhills all it will do is make several downshifts to try and maintain the speed. Every other car I've driven that has adaptive cruise control will apply brakes to keep the vehicle speed from increasing in an uncontrolled manner. Of course if you tap the brakes yourself cruise control is disabled. A simple software update would resolve this issue. |

| Description | I have a 2018 honda accord 2. 0t touring with the 10-speed automatic transmission. The transmission shifts extremely rough from 2-3 gear, 3-4th and downshifting into pretty much any gear. It's been taken to the dealer several times for this issue and nothing has been resolved. I was told it was just how the transmission shifted on this car, which I immediately disputed because I've driven other exact models that did not exhibit this rough shifting behavior. I also am dissatisfied with the length of time it takes the vehicle to engage reverse from park. It can take up to 3 seconds for reverse to engage at which time it just slams into gear. I've contacted american honda and filed a complaint about the various concerns I have with this vehicle. I also have a paint defect from the factory on the rear trunk lid. Honda instructed me to take it back to the dealership, which is hard with my schedule. If this continues after the next service appointment, I'm going to demand the car be replaced with another vehicle. |

| Description | 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. |

I immediately changed lanes to the side of the freeway and attempted to stopped the car by pressing the foot brake. The car has significantly slow down but it was continued rowing forward. It is on a slightly downhill slop. As seeing smoke getting darker and more strong, I pressed the parking brake and the car still would not stopped. I then opened the car door and rowed out from the car onto the highway. Fortunately there was no car and I was ok. I then called 911 to have fire department put out the fire. The car was totaled. I have 2 concerns. My car was just 16 months old when it happened. There was no warning light on before it happened and we have followed the service schedule. How can something like this can happen to a relatively new car and perfect service record. The other concern is when the car was on fire, both the foot break and parking break could not stopped the car from moving. Has this happened in a uphill or down hill slop, I would be at great risk. |

| Description | Driving on a major highway, 65 mph with cruise control on. Suddenly, warning lights came on and vehicle abruptly and quickly decelerated from 65 to 20 mph, forcing me to pull off the highway to the side of the road. There was a strong smell of gasoline in the car. I turned the engine off. Because of the potentially dangerous situation sitting on the side of the highway, I re-started the car a few minutes later and drove to the next exit a couple miles ahead at a reduce speed. I pulled into a parking lot and called for assistance. The honda dealer in orchard park, ny ,where the car was towed, told me that the oil level was extremely high, and changed my oil to bring it to a normal oil level. The dealer further told me that the because I drive short trips and the weather has been cold that is why gasoline is going into the oil and giving me engine trouble on my new car. My honda dealer in rochester, ny confirmed the same and said to drive my car a couple of times a week for a longer period of time to help avoid this issue. My driving habits as a student living on a small campus, in a cold area, are that of a few short drives a day to classes. I use my car primarily for driving myself home and to school which is a 2 hour drive. There is no recall for my honda accord, and both honda dealerships said that there have been similar problems with the honda cr-v & civic but they have never seen any issues with a honda accord. I want to make it clear that my new 2018 honda accord with 2220 miles has the same issue, and the engine malfunction on the highway scared the hell out of me and my family and I am very grateful I did not get hurt or my car malfunctioning did not cause an accident and cause injury to other drivers. |

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. |

| Description | Upon driving on a highway at 60 mph at night, the accelerator peddle was rapidly depressed to avoid another rapidly oncoming car from the rear of my car. My car stumbled and a blinking check engine light came on. The car then went into an operating mode in which about 80% of the car's power was lost and could only be driven very slowly. The car was able to be driven 5 miles to my house. At home the car was turned off. Upon restarting, the check engine light was off and the car then performed normally. A similar incident previously occurred but the check engine light did not come on. Several days after this incident, the car was taken to the dealer. The dealer could not duplicate the problem and there was no fault codes reported from the engine control module. As a result, the dealer did nothing. This is surprising since this was a major performance and safety anomaly for this car. The manufacturer was contacted regarding this problem, however, no action or comment from their customer service department has been received. |

| Description | I purchased my cars about 4 months ago and noticed some issues as soon as I left the dealership. First there's no mileage digital speedometer, only kilometer. As soon as you switch to miles it disappears. Second, the car play system often times resets itself while in driving mode , also happens a lot when gear is shifted. Third, lane sensor system is completely defected as well and cannot be trusted for a second, the worst is the car pool lane, in california is a yellow lane and the car automatically pulls towards it. It obviously cannot detect yellow lines. Today something new happened and completely changed the game for me : the car emergency breaks were activated by nothing and out of nowhere while I was driving on 90 mph !!!!!!! All my stuff were thrown from the back seat to the front and I got seriously injured by the seat-belt that was pushed against me! Let me make it clear... There were zero cars before me or around me ! Thank god for no cars behind me or this citation could have ended differently. I drove the car to the dealership and left the keys over there till they figure it our or give me a different car. I'm scared to go back driving it. |

I saw no road debris. I pulled over to check the radar unit and the camera system. No issues observed. During this trip the acc went offline 3 times down to sc and twice it failed driving back home. Each time I was in traffic and caused issues as the system was trying to manage my speed in traffic. |

| Description | 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. |

| Description | 2018 accord touring 2. 0 about 1800 miles on it. The car shifts very rough in the first 3-4 gears when the car is cold. Also happens at times when its warmer. One dealer claimed to have fixed it with a honda approved break-in procedure. It did not solve the issue. It has happened each day I drive the car since I first got it about a month ago. |

I have already gone to the honda service station 10 times for these questions! But they just told me that these are not problems. It's just unacceptable. |

| Description | I have had several occurrences of a warning that states "collision mitigation braking system problem. Please see your dealer." this error message will pop up randomly with no pattern while using the advanced cruise control function on my vehicle. While this error is present I am not able to use any kind of cruise control settings. I was have seen my local honda dealer about this issue multiple times and have been given many horrible solutions. I have been told to just pull the vehicle over and restart it to clear the errors out. I have also been told by my local dealership that the camera is just dirty and that I need to carry a bottle of water and a rag to wipe off the windshield anytime it happens. I have tried both of these solutions several times and neither has worked. In fact every time I attempt to turn off and restart my vehicle I have eight other safety system failure messages that populate. |

| Description | 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".

| Description | I got my first crack on my windshield 2 weeks after buying it. Never heard the rock hit it . It was a very teeny tiny nick and turned into a long crack across my windshield. The second crack was today. A rock came from a semi truck traveling in the lane next to me as I was passing on the left side lane. Immediately after the rock hit. The windshield cracked. I have a line splitting across my passenger side and now another along the driver side. It seems the glass is made very poorly. The windshield cracks easily. I have owned a ton of vehicles. Rocks hit the windshield from time to time and never caused a crack across my windshield. A nick maybe yes, but not an instant crack that will not stop. |

We are having the same problems as listed in the above comments. Head gasket went out about ten months ago and was replaced. Now, all the problems are happening AGAIN and the dealer is saying it needs a new engine!! We are the second owner of this car so this could have even happened before with this car.
I financed my car at a little over 19k miles, through Honda North Dealership in Danvers, Massachusetts around February 2021. It is a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5TL. I also purchased the 7-year extended warranty which includes the power training and “free oil changes” and whatever else it comes with, also GAP insurance as well. My main concern about this vehicle is that I’ve been having the service lights coming on my dash from time to time and in the 1st couple of weeks of even driving my vehicle the lights started to come on and told me that I needed to see a dealer. I called the dealership and took it in and they told me it tends to come on from time to time and that “it probably could be the engine tire sensor gets too cold but it’ll go away.” Given multiple “explanations” or “reasons” of the cause of these car issues I’ve been dealing with, sure I could say that it “went away” BUT it absolutely came back to haunt me and had me get my vehicle towed back to the dealership after almost breaking down on the highway, my car felt like it was already giving up and it was during the summer where I was lucky enough to have my car being able to drive slowly into a parking lot of a shopping center and I had to call my mother and my triple A for help… I was and I’m extremely upset. When the dealership took a look at it, they told me that I had to get a “brand new” alternator. Honestly, I don’t really know if there was anything else that was wrong with my car.. since that seemed to be the “only issue” that they seemed to see from their end when they inspected my car. So a couple of weeks ago when it rained really hard, I started my car the next morning and I drove my car to the grocery store and I had stopped at a light and all of a sudden my car started SHAKING SO HEAVILY… that I got SUPER NERVOUS and SCARED that I had to pull my car into the nearest parking lot and I had to turn my car off… So as soon as I did that I had waited 2 min and started my car back up and it was perfectly fine. I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT HAPPY at all with this HONDA and this is by far the worst Honda I have ever driven to be experiencing all of these issues…. there are so many more issues on top of this that I can’t even begin to explain .. but the alternator having to be replaced was by far the WORST I had ever had to deal with.. OH and I almost failed to mention that I had to take my car to HONDA NORTH in Danvers again to take it to get a “brand new” battery that I had to pay a little over 200 dollars for….. I’m upset.. and still upset until this very day.. Maybe this might just be my last HONDA purchase in general.
Honda accord 2017 poor water drainage problem. my car backside passenger- side carpet wet and driver side also. anybody that problems rainwater does not drain properly.
Right now it is 9/1/2022. My Honda Accord 2018 four-cylinder has 22,000 miles. Have had this car since Dec 2017. I was away for a month & did NOT drive my car for a month. Come back drive it, works fine, following day as I start the car, ALL the Warning Lights Flash on saying to see the Dealership. Take it to Honda Dealership, it took them 3 hours to do the Diagnostic Machine. They clean the “Spark Plugs” to see if the Warning lights would stop, it didn’t stop. So they REPLACED the “Fuel injectors”- this made the flashing warning signs to stop, i was told, this took them 3-4 hours to Replace the F.I. All this was under warranty. This is my second and Last Honda I Will Ever Own (!).
Stupid Annoying Car.
I to have had problems with my 2018 Honda accord touring 1.5t. All lights came on in the dash board every light you can think of. The only new thing we had done was a tune up. First we were told it was a misfire on 2 for the spark plug. We figured ok maybe we got a bad plug in the new batch and replaced it. Now lights are back on and stating misfire on coil 2. We changed it. Lights went off now on again. Changed coil again and still having the same issue. I was told it could possibly be my fuel injectors. I looked up and there is a recall for the fuel injectors but my car Vin wasn’t apart of the recall this is absolute bull****. I have done everything to maintain my car. Honda needs to do better I will never purchase another Honda after this. To repair and replace the fuel injectors will be $1800 plus tax!
I am experiencing similar issues with my 2018 Honda Accord touring. It is currently at the dealership service center for the third time in the span of three months. I follow through with exactly what the dealership mechanics recommend (new fuel injectors, filters, multi point inspection). They told me it is possibly a blown gasket head. At 75,000 miles. This is ridiculous. My car consistently studders/stammers even after leaving the mechanic shop (they had my car for a week “fixing” the problem).
I have a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5, I too am having the same issues. They’re telling me a well-maintained vehicle with only 67k miles has a blown head gasket. Honda is refusing to take responsibility. Apparently this is a well-known issue. I have a goodwill claim but they want 4k to break down the engine. We need a class action lawsuit.
I’m having the same problem with my 2018 Touring 1.5 that I paid in full, and after having it for 3 months, the break collision warning lights popped up and said see dealership, and after taking it twice, they said they found nothing wrong. It’ll go off, but come back on here and there, and you can feel that the car has a mind of its own. Have anyone got any positive results from the dealership? I love the car, but hate the problems with the warning signs, I’m about ready to get rid of a potential great car!
I have 2018 Honda Accord 2.0 sport and it starting to give me problems ..Sometimes it does not want to start and it says brake system problem see dealership…wtf…They charge you so much money for you to purchase the vehicle with so much problems …There should be a law that gives you the right to return the vehicle if they can’t fix the problem that makes it unsafe..
Same thing happened to me last night… driving on the bridge that’s over water…. I’m in the middle lane when all of a sudden my car has a mind of its own… pulls me to the left and crash into the divider damaging my vehicle and airbags deployed… THANK GOD there were no cars in front,side, or back of me AT ALL…either the opposite side of the bridge were no vehicles…it couldn’t been worse… I left with some injuries as well……HONDA NEEDS TO DO BETTER….IM PISSED
2018 honda accord sport edition we take this car for the recall since then the car start with problems losing power on the engine we take it back to the dealership 2 times and the 3r one they said car have a problem with the head gasket is already 2 months and the car still on the dealer with the same problem 2 months and this guy’s said is a back up order a head gasket back up order
It’s showing brake on the dash board steady
I have a big issue with my 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 T sensing system, such sudden braking when no car’s in front of my vehicle, engine noise is way too loud, inside the cabin is filled with squeaks and weird popping sounds, parking assist keeps beeping when I stop at the intersection, and much more. Today, I ran over a plastic traffic cone and it knocked off the sensor system, including the parking assist in the front, however the front bumper is not damaged at all. Call Honda Customer Service but received an empty answer on this issue, and they told me to refer it to the dealership! This Honda has 24150 miles and less than 31 months. I have been buying Hondas over 27 years and I will become an anti-Honda wholeheartedly if the Woodland Hills Honda dealership in southern CA is charging me to fix the sensor system on Saturday 05/28 at 0800. Honda executives need to pay attention to consumer complaints and address it case to case basis if you genuinely care about us.
In an effort to save me from having to re write all my problems, I’ll just post the email I’ve been asked to give to HOA regarding my 2018 Accord:
Hi Ben,
Today, around 9am I spoke with Carol and asked to have you return my phone call. You did not reach back to me at any time today. I understand you may have been busy. A correspondence such as, “Alex, I understand you’re upset, let me reach out later today when I’m free” would have been sufficient. Your sales manager promised a follow up call today as well and I did not hear back.
My wife and I came into your dealership on Sunday, March 7 around 2:30pm in an attempt to get help with my 2018 Accord and its list of problems. As of late, the issues with my car have ventured into the unsafe to drive territory and need help.
What we experienced last night was anything but help. Albert and his sales manager (was never introduced by name or given any business cards) need to be held accountable for their behavior.
I would like to bring to your attention on the issues I have been having with my car.
I purchased my 2018 Accord from your dealership 2 years ago. There are issues that are not characteristic of a $37,000 car. I have had problems since my very first service visit.
My car currently has two major safety issues that leave my pregnant wife and I feeling unsafe.
About two months ago I went in for routine service. In addition to requesting routine service, I also asked the service advisor to AGAIN look into the pre-existing problems that I addressed on previous visits, such as the hood fluttering at highway speeds, my Theft Patrol not working at all, and my AC producing a “gurgling” sound 100% of the time I have the AC engaged, just to name a few. In addition to all of that, I had a brand new problem to deal with: Dead Brake Petal.
They performed the routine maintenance, reminded me that the AC noise and hood flutter is “normal operation” but that they did determine that my brakes had air in the line and needed to bleed, and have the brake fluid replaced.
In addition to the above, my car has had its faulty Honda Sensing addressed twice previously. On multiple occasions my Accord has activated the brakes for no reason at all, no one or anything in front of my car (but the rising sun) and it’s gone from 65mph to 40mph in a snap – effectively “brake checking” the vehicle behind me. I’ve almost been rear-ended because of this twice. This behavior has happened over the past two years no less than a half-dozen times – only recently has it almost resulted in an accident. It’s never been fixed despite the “software updates”. This is unacceptable.
My car also has tech related problems. The center screen reboots everyday at least once per every drive. On some drives I’ve experienced the screen rebooting up to four times in two hours. It does this both when connected to CarPlay and when not connected to CarPlay. This was addressed in a software update over a year ago but has never been resolved.
I understand that HOA has pushed the BCM recall again for my car. Last year I was informed of this recall and your service department informed me that although my vin was flagged, my particular car was unaffected – why they didn’t just do the recall anyway is beyond me. Apparently last month Honda addressed the BCM issue again.
In addition to the above, the car has other problems (although not as serious) that are again not characteristic of a $37,000 car. For example, the Theft Patrol system has never worked properly (if at all) since I bought the car. It currently has my mileage at 4,820,012,122 miles. It was a waste of $1,500. There are also a ton of cabin rattles and squeaks that the car makes.
Now, I would like to address what happened on Sunday.
My wife and I were greeted by Mo and Albert the moment we walked in. I gave him the same information about my car that I described above and Albert listened to me and the wife talk about the problems before he asked us to take a seat at his desk. Long story short, he came back with a proposal that I take a brand new 2021 Accord Touring at $900/month for another 72 months. I did not come into your dealership for an upgrade. I came in to get resolution. Instead, Albert and your staff produced a piece of paper that said I had negative equity in the 2018 Accord and that Hamer would only buy it for $14,000. $14,000 + $8,000 (negative equity) + $38,000 2021 Touring + all the other fees added up to a new proposed loan of over $56,000+ for an Accord. This car has caused me to loose all faith in Honda, your staff has lost my respect and I have zero faith that you even want to help your customer.
2018 was the very first year of a completely redesigned car. Honda sold over 270,000 Accords in 2018. In mass production, it’s not unlikely for a few bad examples to make their way to the consumer. This is only compounded by the fact that this is a first year car and hasn’t had its trials and errors resolved (for example, Honda has addressed the hood flutter on newer models). I believe that I have a bad car. A lemon. My car feels as if it was rushed during its production, fell through the cracks, and wasn’t giving its due diligence with QC. It’s remarkable that a quick google search yields similar situations to mine but is completely absent in the 2019 and beyond models. The new 10th generation Accord clearly wasn’t ready for consumers in 2018 yet.
I ask that you kindly reach back to me so that we can address this. I just want a safe and reliable car.
Thank you.
2018 accord sport 1.5t all warning lights on and dealership has my car sense 21st of December. Sad its having issues when I just had the car 4 months before all the collision failure lights started breaking issues steering up hill assistance and many other came on at once!
Every light on my dashboard has been coming on for the last 3 weeks. My car is less than 3 years old and under 50,000 miles. I have taken it to the dealership, and was told initially it was spark plug issues. So I paid 260 dollars to get it fixed. Then six days later the same issue. Priority Honda claimed they fixed it, took another look at it and sent me on my way. Then a few days later the lights are back on. I take it back. I get another part added, although they still state it is not an issue. Well here I am…about to take my car in yet again for the fourth time. Definitely starting to feel like Honda has let me down.
I purchased a 2018 Accord 2.0 sport and had issues with the radio since day 1, Bluetooth never works and the techs say that Honda cant find a solution for it, anyways the other issue was when I turned right using the blinker the radio would pause for 2 sec and work again, apparently the dealer found a solution and replaced a faulty board. A week after having the car back another issue comes up and its funny cause this time the dealer can not find what causes it. When I press on the brake petal the radio goes nuts ( seems that something interferes ). I guess I have to live with it and see if other people have this problem so Honda can come up with a solution. Car has 24.000 miles on it as of 10/2/20
today 2-19-2020, my 2018 accord touring suddenly braked on a side street, no traffic just me. thank god no one around me. scary. will take to dealer to complain. don’t know what they will do. everything else has been perfect.
I am the owner of a 2018 Honda Accord. My car was in the shop for over 30 days last year in April, and then again this month for a few days. It is a brand new car so it should not give me all these problems. The car sometimes breaks unexpectedly without reason, too. Today, I was in a car accident in the freeway, where my car spun a few times and hit the wall. I strongly believe this car was defective. Can you help me?
Engine would not start/brake system problem/radio and digital board is blank
I have a 2018 Honda Accord sport and I am constantly having problems with the ABS. Right now my car is in the VA parking lot and want start. I have been taking it to the dealership since June for this problem, They have updated the system, but I’m still having problems. I had the window regulator replace within a month of buying the car and windows still make a noise when it’s hot and you put them down.
December of 2018 I leased a 2018 Honda Accord Ex-L. During the first month with the car, I noticed there were electrical issues with regards to the “information display” screen (screen located in the center of the dashboard). There were two main areas of concern, one issue was resolved while the other still goes unfixed. The issue that continues to go unfixed is the issue of me being in mid-drive in the car and the center screen shuts off and restarts itself, which messes up my hands-free for my phone. I have complained about this issue to the dealer 3-5 times, all the times a software reset is performed and I am given back the car with the same issue as when I took it in. Additionally, I was sold an alarm system through the financing department of the dealer and it was installed and then removed from the vehicle. I have also been given the option by the dealer for them to place me in a 2019 Accord Ex-L, however, my car payment would be an additional $56 due to me not putting any money down. I am not sure what my options are and I am in a time crunch due to me not seeking help from the start.
How many times does your car have to mess up for it be reported as a lemon
I am afraid of either being rear ended or scared so bad that I crash into another car. 3 times this car has made panic stops, momentarily but just the same, the orange BRAKE light comes on on the left of the dash, while a beeping panic sound is being made. The car hits the brakes hard causing me to be scared out of my mind. This has happened twice while the cruise is engage and once when it has not been. Two of the incidents happened with 7 lanes of street completely empty, no traffic either direction, no cars in front to the side or the back of me. I was a lone car on the road. The first time it did this I was very shaken up but figured it was just a fluke. The next two times it was NO FLUKE this car is unsafe to drive at any speed. Honda just shrugs it shoulders…..more or less live with it. Sorry but if I am in an accident and it is caused by this system scaring me into another vehicle or being hit from behind I will have an attorney before the police are called. I’m sick of bringing it back to the dealer and them making a mockery of me. This is a 2018 Honda Accord Touring and it is just plagued with electrical problems. I purchased this car off of the showroom floor 1/2/19. This car is nothing but a very expensive lemon that I’m afraid to drive.
Had bout a 2018 Honda Accord in May of 2019, brand new only 17 miles on it. On 8/25, I was approaching a train track, about 50 feet away and had already slowed to about 30 mph. The brake light on the dash blinked and the brakes were applied automatically and I came to a fast halt. It took a couple of seconds for the car to allow me to apply the gas.
There needs to be a recall issued by Honda. What if I had been going 70+ mph on a freeway? There would have been injuries, potential damage, and/or possible fatalities. This function scared me so much that I just traded it in today for a different make and model. For as much as this car was priced, Honda needs to make sure it’s road ready before they release all these “safety features.”
2018 Honda Accord Touring electronic gear shifter sounds like I am driving a 57 Chevy. Hard shift from one gear to another, the radio has decided to shut off several times and the only way to get it back working is to turn the car completely off, if I am using the Car play and I scroll on my phone the air condition speed changes or the radio turns off, inspite of the new transmission the car still changes gears rough and at weird intervals, the car has halted when it sensed a collision however no car was near. Sad to say I purchased the worst HONDA on the Market!
2018 Honda Accord sport battery problems battery replaced under warranty ,molding problems dealership ordered new moldings moldings still defected back up camera problem replace under warranty,battery leaking with loud smell new problem.Im over it .Purchased the car new 7miles 26,247
I have similar issue on my 2018 Accord I purchased brand new from Dealer , the oil control valve apparently got faulty that messed up the entire computer system on the car. None the computer controls work – TPMS, Lane departure warning, ABS , etc etc..Pretty much like a car with no computer controls. The dealer has agreed to fix this issue for free. I need to wait and watch how this goes .
I have had similar problems with my toyota camry braking when a car beside me turning .
Honda 2018 Sport T2.0 Emergency break system defected!
I purchased my cars about 4 months ago and noticed some issues as soon as I left the dealership.
First there’s no Mileage digital speedometer, only kilometer. As soon as you switch to miles it disappears.
Second, the car play system often times resets itself while in driving mode , also happens a lot when gear is shifted.
Third, lane sensor system is completely defected as well and cannot be trusted for a second, the worst is the car pool lane, in California is a yellow lane and the car automatically pulls towards it. it obviously cannot detect yellow lines.
Today something new happened and completely changed the game for me :
THE CAR EMERGENCY BREAKS WERE ACTIVATED BY NOTHING OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON 90 MPH !!!!!!! ALL MY STUFF WERE THROWN FROM THE BACK SEAT TO THE FRONT AND I GOT SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THE SEAT-BELT THAT WAS PUSHED AGAINST ME! LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR…THERE WERE ZERO CARS BEFORE ME OR AROUND ME ! THANK GOD FOR NO CARS BEHIND ME OR THIS CITATION COULD HAVE ENDED DIFFERENTLY. I drove the car to the dealership and left the keys over there till they figure it our or give me a different car. I’m scared to go back driving it.
Yesterday morning went out to get into the car and all the windows were down completely and the trunk was open. Trunk has opened about four other times and the ‘check tire light’ won’t go off after checking the tires. Computer system must be questionable?
I purchased 2018 Accord Nov 2017. Feb 2018 at approximately 4400 miles speedometer would drop intermittently from high rate of speed down to zero. Dealer found problem after two attempts. Today Mar 14, 2019 at 27,235 miles I have 8 system warnings. Hill Start Assist, Emmission System, Brake System, ACC, Collision, Road Departure, Electric Power Steering, and Vehicle Stability Assist. As a single woman I am really concerned about future problems with this relatively new car and I’m about 8,000 miles from the Warranty ending. I’m very disappointed in my purchase. I researched prior to purchasing and thought I was getting a reliable car.
Noise, rattles, sounds like an old car! Took dash out and it is worse, they say no fix yet from engineers, so I am stick with a new 201 Accord that is like an old car, now 9,000 miles battery dead for no reason. Owned 6 Honda accords before, all new with only 1 major problem and recall of spark plugs and engine.
They are turning out terrible cars now, no more Honda for me!
I have slipping transmission problems with (newly bought) Honda Accord 2018.
I have had problems with my Accord having rattling sound on the left side of the driver. This is a “common” problem. I tried to get Hinda America involved but they ignored my request to replace the vehicle (a brand new out of the dealer). I owned Hondas for 30 years. I will NEVER buy one ever. A COMPANY IN A DECLINE
I purchased a 2018 Honda Accord with 7000 miles. I brought it in because there was a strange noice coming from the mirror, the gas door wouldn’t open and there was rattiling coming from the bottom of the vehicle. My car has been in the stop for 4 days and they still can’t figure out the issue. Not happy with my purchase, and I’ve owned Honda’s for 10 years.
I have a 2018 Honda touring: already had a check engine light issue ,car was there for three days while they did the repair, problem with tire sensor reading low took it back twice then they changed the tire. Now I have my sensing unit not working I have to take it back to Honda this is the second time this has happened. This is a brand new vehicle why am I having all these problems. What’s gonna happen once the warranty expires. It’s gonna cost me a fortune everytime this issue happens. With these issue how do I even know if my airbags will work if God for bid I get into an accident. NOT HAPPY WITH VEHICLE!!!
