I was driving on 35-38 mph in a 35mph zone. The road was curving in the form of a C and my tires started to skid. Once I applied brakes and I couldn't feel anything braking and once again applied, the car turned 90 degree, straightened out on the road but not completely meaning the car was still going forward in the direction on the road but a 30 degree angle. I couldn't control steering or brakes and hit a fire hydrant at the end. I asked the insurance company to contact Honda for details know the different control units and reading but they didn't want to go that route. Now my insurance rate is up and I have 2 points since the cops didn't believe it could have been the cars fault.

Led drl have both went bad, for no reason, worked one day didnt the next day thry were covered by thd 36K warranty, however, they have not fixed the underlying issue and once out of warranty, they are $1300 each! brakes have been resurfaced, front and rear. The car had 70 miles, a xealer traded it anx it sat on the lot for months, perhaps thd rust created pitting(davis Honda should have replaced the rotors, nog cut them at 5K then 10K. Current mileage is 16,800. Oh, and the paint chips/road rash is insane. The clear coat will be gone by 100K.

Accord

  • 16,000 miles
When traveling down a road straight about 45 mph the automatic braking system flashed 'brake' on the cluster and then the the car came to a stop when there was nothing in front of me that I could see. Car has 16000 miles on it and this has never happened before. The car behind me had enough room to stop in time. Took it to the dealer and they could not find anything wrong but a dirty camera code set.

When turning the wheel, squeaking coming from brakes. Had brakes checked, and there is no wear which requires brake replacement. This is a known issue of the tab getting off it's resting place and causing an erroneous squeaking. Everytime we ask the dealer about it, they say they cannot replicate. When you do a simple google search, the issue is documented all over the place. Thus, Honda is aware and is not addressing this issue.

Accord

  • 13,096 miles
My husband was driving, I was in the passenger seat on a clear day, full visibility, there was a car several car lengths ahead of us turning right. It cleared the way without us needing to break. We were traveling about 40 mph at around 2pm. Our vehicle thought there was still a hazard in the road. We have a sensing package in the vehicle, which caused our car to come to a full and complete stop, engaging the seat belts as well. We have full video evidence of the incident from a third party dash cam. We were almost hit from behind. We took the vehicle to the dealership thinking there was something wrong with it, it was returned, saying that the car worked as intended. Having been in the vehicle at the time, and I disagree, and am now extremely afraid to drive my car. While I have no pictures, I have full video of the incident, and will gladly provide it upon request.
