Accord V6 Touring Sedan 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,000 miles

I too have the same annoying sound when driving under 35mph. Don't know how long it has been going on however didn't notice until nice weather with windows rolled down this spring/summer 2019. I purchased the car brand new always service at Honda City in SE Wisconsin (my 5th new Honda since 2005). Car is perfect at 35,000 miles now, but am disgusted with the woosh woosh sound while driving. Sounds like a brake issue initially but Honda states brakes are still as new, very little wear. I drive mostly highway so I do usually get 80,000 miles before replacement of pads etc. They checked everything no problems with the car. They believe its the tires but I am hesitant to replace for $1000 if that is not the problem. Totally frustrated, ready to trade for a Jaguar XF sedan, at 63 maybe I need a change!

Accord Touring V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,835 miles

From reading all the reviews, I can see I am not alone with this issue. It is extremely frustrating and annoying to buy a brand-new car, buy the extended warranty at a high cost and have my Honda dealer attempt to "fix" the issue several times, knowing that what they did each time would never fix the problem. I think they just wanted me to go away. Really, they just tried to placate me each time with some excuse. First it was they found a small rock. Then the second time, it was a clip was loose, and they reattached it. Then it was replacing the brake retainer clips. Then rotate the tires.

Well, after research I came back & told them, I'm not the only one with this issue. I told them what I found online and that Honda was aware of the issue. They finally admitted to the existing issue. They told me to call Honda Corporate at 800-999-1009. I did and they were completely worthless. He took notes and told me he would get back to me in a week. Almost made it sound like I had a chance at getting a resolution. I had to call him several times after several weeks only to have him say Honda won't do anything to fix the problem. It was the tires that were the issue he said. He said, Honda doesn't make them, so we don't stand behind them. I said there are a million parts on a car, many parts made in China. So does that mean you don't stand behind anything on the car????

I am so angry and frustrated at the lack of customer service. So much for the "Helpful Honda Guy". I call BS. I hope someone does have a lawsuit or some way to go after Honda to make them do the right thing!!! I will NEVER purchase another car made by Honda. I will share my experience with anyone who asks. So now I have a car with 16,000 miles (yes, low mileage), that squeals and makes very loud and annoying sounds for all to hear as I drive by. It's an embarrassment to drive.

Accord Tour V6

  • CVT transmission
  • 500 miles

I am a return customer to Honda this vehicle makes my second accord. The 2017 Honda Tour with the 19 in rims makes the rubbing sound at low or high speeds. When reported to the dealer they stated that Honda was aware of the issue and was looking into it. I checked in on the issue every time I had the vehicle serviced and I got the same answer. Finally I got fed up with the same answer so I filled a complaint with the cooperate office. They looked into my case and told me that Honda was not going to do anything about the known issue with the tires because this is not a safety issue, and I should reach out to the Continental tire for a resolution. So I did.

Continental tire sent the response of the issue is not with the tire, it is an issue that can be fixed by Honda putting a clear coat onto the bead channel of the rim. Now that I have filed lemon law paper work my local dealer has refused to touch my vehicle. Now my car is having issues shifting from 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, and a loud metal to metal noise when I turn which has been un resolved. I'm disgusted with the amount of respect Honda has for its customers as a whole and will not by another Honda after this vehicle. I am fed up with people pointing fingers and throwing up their hands not my problem mentality. What is the point of the bumper to bumper warranty if its not held up on the companies end.

2017 Honda Accord touring tire was making a roaring noise. I was driving home one night and had a blow out, tire started to spark fire and could smell the rubber burning. Had the tire replace the next day and 2 weeks later same tire had another blow out this one not as bad but 2 new tires in less than a month.

Accord Sport V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 25,000 miles

I have had tire noise issues for almost a year now and have been to my dealership twice with nothing done about the problem. They sent our a "Honda Rep" to look at the problem finally and they offered me to 40% coverage towards new tires. I originally took this car in 9 month prior, with the same issue I might add, and the reasoning behind offering me 40% is because there was usage on the tires. If they would have a "Honda Rep" come out the first time when the car was practically new, then the offer probably would have been much better...? I was told to call customer service and nothing they can do about it...

So I did, and they were no help and stand by what the rep said. I can't believe after being a loyal Honda customer for almost 9 years and all my loans through Honda Financial they would treat a returning customer this way..

Is there anyway we can all come together and file a class action lawsuit?? We have to all try and do something and not let Honda get away with this!! They are taking advantage of the consumer and it isn't right, especially when it is due to their negligence.. not ours!

Accord Touring 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,000 miles

I just bought a Honda Touring 2017 five months ago and I started hearing a clicking noise coming from the front passenger tire. It sounded like I had a nail in the tire. When I went to the dealership to do my maintenance I told them about it and they were aware of this problem because they were getting the same complaints from other customers that have this model and the 2017 sport model. The service advisor said that all the tires will start making that noise eventually. He said that these 19" continental tires are mainly for racing and were designed for this car. He was told from the higher up at Honda that the customer could replace the tires and the noise will go away. I have been reading comments from other people that have replaced the tires but the noise did not disappear. Why would I buy new tires and spend over a thousand dollars if that is going to be the case. I wish I knew this before I bought the car. So now that the tires have been rotated, the noise has shifted to that same tire that is now in the back rear driver wheel. I am guessing that it's the tire and not the wheel well it sits in. It's quite annoying when you have your window down and hear it. The dealership said that since this is not a safety or recall issue there is nothing they can do at this time. Also, I was told that they are aware of the problem and under investigation. How long does something like this take? I did read some comments about people having flat or blown out tires as of result of this issue which could be dangerous. I really don't know what to do at this point. I have owned four other Honda's and never had a problem until now. I am so disappointed that Honda is not stepping up to the plate to help solve the problem.
