My car rolls down my driveway about 3 feet before it stops, my driveway is about 15 degrees, no rain, no snow, called the dealer and they said this was normal, I tend to think its very dangerous. This has happened many times in all weather conditions and the car was stationart and in park when this happened, I did my own test on this situation and it was very repeatable.

I was driving down the highway on a Tuesday morning around 6:45am and I heard a loud bang. Pulled back my sun visor for sunroof and saw that my sunroof was shattered. Closed visor just in case it wanted to break. Then all off a sudden I heard a loud crash and my visor started flapping. Road to work holding visor with one hand and driving with the other scared the visor was going to fly open. Got to work and looked at sun roof and it was a big hole in my sunroof. 75% of my sunroof was missing or gone.

Accord

  • 28,135 miles
Upon trying to accelerate, the engine hesitated then stalled. Upon restarting and attempting to accelerate, the engine surged forward. Driving on the freeway the engine lost power momentarily then reengaged. The a.C./climate control is again not functioning properly, and the hands-free phone function disconnected multiple times. The car was taken the car to a Honda dealership approximately one week ago to have the air conditioning defect repairs completed. At that time they were unable to repair the trunk lid that has been falling down since I took possession of the vehicle in July 2014. The trunk lid falls at will.

The vehicle is able to be turned off with out putting in park. It is an automatic with push button start. When stopping at an arrived location you are able to push the button to turn off your vehicle with out putting it in park which then disengages the gears. If you happen to forget to put it in park and shut the car off in drive when you get out, the vehicle will roll away. Any other push button start vehicle I have used would not allow you to shut the engine down until it was placed in park. Roll away issues should and could be easily fixed.

This is a nightmare. Honda Accord 2014.last night my windows and sunroof automatically opened; there have been other random electrical problems, see below. The opening of the windows occurred during a rain storm and my brand new Honda is filled with water. The dash is blank and the phob key radio searching light is not blinking; so there was a short that caused this to happen. I will never buy a Honda again. If you are having any of the problems listed below, pay attention to them because I kept thinking they were just random little issues but they were precursors to this very big issue. My car is totaled!!! pay attention to the small stuff and save your life and get rid of your car. My trunk randomly opened, parked and driving. My tire pressure light is always on, even after being reset and tires checked. I'd get in my car and find the sunroof partially opened over night. There is a weird rattle in my car in the front area, sounds like its in the dash board, but could never isolate it.

While driving my new Honda, I noticed an odor similar to a gas smell, sort of like a Pilot on with no flame when the heat is on, the odor comes and goes. The odor is so bad at times that it upsets my stomach. I took the vehicle in to Honda to have it checked in November of 2014, and, they were unable to duplicate the problem. After leaving the dealership, the odor arrived for a minimal amount of time and then dissipated. However, the problem does still occur.

I bought a brand new car Honda Accord 2014 last April 18, on August, suddenly it didn't start, I called aaa to check battery but aaa said, its not the battery its more than that. My car was towed from NY to NJ -route 22honda(where I bought the car),they did some repair-alternator replacement, then last Nov.2, I have difficulty in starting the car again, finally after so many tries it started and I brought the car again to route 22, they did repair again-sensor replacement. Yesterday Nov 15, it didn't start at all even several attempts. I don't feel safe with this car especially winter is here and its not good for my job as a nurse. Please help me.

The trunk fell on my head and my grandmothers head. It did not hurt when it fell on my head but my grandmother was in pain when it fell on hers. I live on a sloped driveway, so any time I open my trunk it doesn't stay open and falls right down. It stayed open a few times, but would then randomly come falling down. I can't unload my groceries properly, I can't load my trunk up properly, it's very disturbing. Also, I took it to two Honda dealerships and they said 'it was fine' and 'nothing was wrong.' One even suggested I used a broom to keep the trunk open (which is absurd because it's a brand new 2014 Honda Accord. But when I spoke to the car repair shop about it, they said it was not normal and something was definitely wrong with the trunk.
