#1 issue on Sep 23 2017 we were going down an incline, in the city, applying the brakes and going about 25mph when the engine accelerated. We were approaching a stop sign at a busy intersection. He applied the brakes harder but the car would not stop. After the initial shock my husband thought to put it into neutral and we were able to stop. We took our car into our Honda dealer. They could not duplicate the problem so they stated the car did not have a problem. Honda had our car for 2 weeks and drove 54miles without incident. We contacted american Honda and got a case number. They called us to tell us they had contacted our Honda dealer and they agreed nothing was found so our car did not have a problem. #2 issue the first week after we purchased our Honda in January 2016 the compass went out. Honda service put in a new sending unit. In Sep 2017 the compass and fuel mpg readout on the instrument panel went blank. This happened along with the acceleration problem that we stated above.. we took it into for repair and they could not duplicate the issue so they would not do any replacement or repair. Then, on Oct 24th the compass and the radio stopped working. The radio came back on within a minute, but the compass did not work accurately again for several hours. We have send an email to the service manager and are waiting for a reply. Our car has 16,000 miles on it..

I am unable to start my car after it sits for ten days to two weeks or more. The battery goes dead and my family and I are left potentially stranded. My wife and I travel frequently and return to a car that won't start due to a parasitic draw on the battery. This is a safety issue as you can imagine flying home, taking the bus to the parking lot at the airport at 11:00 pm, going to your car and finding a dead battery which puts our safety in peril. I took my car to oneil Honda in overland park, Kansas. They charged the battery and checked it out and told me that everything is fine. I asked about why the battery went dead and they said that this is now normal with the new Honda Accord due to the parasitic draw on the battery when the car isn't running which ultimately drains the battery to a point where it won't start. Having been an auto mechanic in my younger days I couldn't believe my ears. I called another Honda dealer's service department in the Kansas City area and received the same comment. Then I phoned the Honda dealership in san antonio where I purchased the vehicle and again, was provided the same information.... "this is now what I can expect on my new Accord, if it sits for ten days or two weeks then the battery will die". the parasitic draw on the battery is putting my family and I in an unsafe situation and I asked that you intervene. I tried to address this with Honda America but was not successful with the agent on the phone. I even asked her to pick a dealer in san antonio, any dealer, get their service manager on the phone with us and lets see if he / she gives us a similar response regarding the parasitic draw. She refused. Now I feel that I need your help. I have had this problem since last fall and it has occurred on several occasions. I will indicate an approximate date of my initial visit / discussion with the first Honda dealer.

Ignition key has been hard to insert and start the car since we've had it. Had 12K miles on it when purchased. Key could not be removed except by a locksmith and could not start the car. Ignition thinks a key is still in it even though it has been removed. Taking it to the dealer for replacement.

Purchased 2016 Accord touring in May 2016. In April 2017 the car would not start - appeared to be a battery issue. Had the Honda roadside service come to the house, they jump started it, told to let it run/drive it for 1/2 hour. Did that. Went shopping and when I tried to start it again electronics went crazy, wipers went on their own and the stop button would not turn off the car. Had it jumped again by Honda roadside. Took it to the dealer, they replaced the battery - said it had a bad cell in it, said there were no tech svc bulletins on the car and said there were 100's of ground wires in this car that may cause a problem w/battery premature failure.

About a month ago I began having intermittent starting issues. I turn the key to start and it may or may not activate the starter. Now, the issue has worsened to the point it may start on the first attempt, or require 10 or more attempts before power to the starter is achieved. Being a retired mechanic it acts like there is a loose wire or ground at the starter. Talking with Honda, my warrenty has expired (3 year/36,000 mile) and they require over $100 to diagnosis the issue. Researhing this issue on the internet I have found several Honda owners with the exact issue. They all state that Honda corrected the issue by replacing the starter. I purchased my Honda with an understanding of it to be a reliable vehicle. Now, 56,000 miles later (majority are highway miles) I need to replace the starter? the fact is, I have maintained fleets of vehicles, gas and diesel, and I find the need to replace the starter premature and ludicrous! with all the complaints I have read, there is no reason that there is not and has not been a Honda starter recall/good faith warranty for what I would claim to become prematuraly defective. Further more, in my opinion this electrical issue could evolve into a fire hazard.

Purchased my coupe in November 2016 brand new. I have less than 8600 miles on it. The other night my car went into complete shutdown, completely dead. I was told it could be the main fuse. Why would the main fuse blow on brand new car? that very dangerous while driving. Luckily I was pulling into my mother's driveway and not on the highway or in traffic.
