Accord 6-cyl

  • 1,973 miles
Rodent damage to gas line, emission system, gas tank, and numerous other parts in an actively driven car (not stored). Leading to major gas leak (half a tank of gas in a duration of a standstill at red light) that placed drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and bystanders' life at risk. Would've lead to catastrophic ending if exhaust was hot. Gas spilled over stretch of 2 blocks, majority concentrating at intersection between heath and main St. Buffalo NY, which required the fire department to clean up. 911 was contacted for patches of flammable gasoline, which could have been ignited for numerous reasons leading to fatality. Reason for filing compliant. Vehicle which this happened to was a brand new 2014 Honda Accord purchased in June 2014. Repairs denied to be covered under warranty by Honda dealership and America Honda. Stating accident events like this is not covered, and is not a mechanical defect. Two conservative repair required, still not fixed. Dysfunctional car for a period of 6 days and counting. For rodent damage to occur in a brand new, actively driven car is indicative of obvious flaws in the design itself. 1. the machinery was exposed and unprotected. 2. the quality of built material was substandard for it to be damaged in a overnight situation by some "rodent" no larger than those that can fit in, and maneuver, within a confined space (seriously, I do not believe a rodent would randomly choose my car on the street to squeeze into and just bit a wire (numerous wires) without purposes of building a news or for food). 3. disproportion between the price paid for the car and the quality of service which followed it.

Caution, be careful - my car stopped when the start button was pressed while driving. The start button is near my knee and an accidental press caused my moving car to shut down - fortunately I was just starting and only going 5 mph. Can you imagine what would happen if my knee hit the start button while going 65 in traffic.. the dealer said that is normal!!

I drove the brand new Honda Accord with my 9 year old son on high way 93 South in the middle of the lane. It was Friday noon time, busy in high way. I felt something wrong with the car and tried to changed to slow lane. The engine stopped working with error code instead of "D" in the panel. There was big truck behind me. I pulled it over. It was within 24 hour after we picked up the car. It was scary experience! luckily, we are safe! even luckier, it happened when I drove it, not my 20 year old, inexperienced child drove. I could not imagine what would happen it occurred while he drove. Dealer told us it was regulator in the transmission system broken. They replaced the transmission as a solution.

I have a brand new 2014 Honda Accord sport. It hesitates when I accelerate from almost any speed. This is dangerous as I am nervous if I have to accelerate quickly for any reason, and getting on the highway can be tough too. I have seen others list this same issue on here, it's obviously a big problem with this car.

Honda Accord ex-L 2014 will shut-off and coast to a stop if the "start push button" is pressed while driving. The car should be in park before pressing the start button has any affect !! while driving with the automatic transmission in drive, I placed my hand on my right knee and accidentally hit the "start push button" and to my surprise the car shut-off and coasted to a stop. I could not restart until I put the transmission in park.. dangerous !! I was leaving my house with the automatic transmission in drive when my hand going to my right knee hit the start button, the car stopped!. fortunately I was going less than 5mph so no accident. I spoke to the dealer and was told, that's the way it is - just like if you remove your keys while driving. However you can not remove your keys unless the car is in park and the key is turned from run.

Accord 4-cyl

  • 1,800 miles
Hesitation (unexpected acceleration) occurs intermittently at low speed. When the car is at a low speed and more power is needed and the accelerator is pressed there is no response initially; accelerator is then pressed more and the car then accelerates much more than was expected, resulting in a jerky, on/off type action. I believe this could cause an accident either when trying to merge into traffic or when trying to accelerate gently and having the car accelerate more than expected (in a parking lot or heavy slow traffic etc).
