problem #12

Accord

  • 3,500 miles
Have automatic braking and lane assist driving. Brakes on its own with nothing in front. Happened twice. Dealer calls it a glitch. I call it very dangerous. 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. I paid a lot for this model. Expected more.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. When the vehicle was started, the passenger air bag warning indicator failed to illuminate 'off'. the contact also mentioned that the dashboard vibrated on the passenger side while driving; however, the vibration stopped when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired twice for the vibration failure at Honda windward (45-671 kamehameha hwy, kaneohe, hi 96744, (808) 247-8544). The dealer stated that a new air conditioning belt was taped onto the unit. The belt was covered with foam to keep it attached to the unit. As the belt pressed against the air conditioning unit it made a noise and, coupled with an unknown object under the dashboard, caused a vibration. The air bag failure was not diagnosed. Neither the air bag or vibration failure was repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failures. The failure mileage was 1,090.

Accord

  • 800 miles
At higher rates of speed, the front hood vibrates significantly. Not only is this annoying but it is also frightening. I thought that hood was about to fly off the vehicle when I was traveling out of state. I even contacted Honda dealers where I was to see if I could get someone to look at this on an emergency basis. When I got home, I took back to my dealer and I was told that they rearranged a seal but also that is what 2018 Honda Accord do...they vibrate. Basically, I was told that there was nothing they could do about the problem. The issue remains.
