Honda Accord 2018 LX. Two instances of car not starting when stationary. Most recent instance of engine stalling while in motion on a city street.

- West Bend, WI, USA

In colder weather, the vehicle makes a drone like humming noise, similar to running a wet finger around a wine glass except louder. If I open the window it stops, it also stops below 5 mph. It is very distracting, I almost went off the road trying to figure out where the noise is coming from. The dealer is telling me it's the speakers, but why would it stop when the window is open. I believe it's the active noise cancellation anc - once the vehicle warms up 15 - 20 minutes the noise stops. I feel this is a known safety hazard that Honda is trying to figure out. One dealership told me the "engineers are working on it, but no fix at this time". this is a brand new vehicle and it isn't stopping. Seems like Honda is hoping for warmer weather but that is not right. Please help.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the heat failed to work while the vehicle was being operated. Honda of new rochelle (25 E main St, new rochelle, NY 10801, (888) 905-3762) suggested that the contact "trick" the vehicle by putting on her seat belt and shifting into drive. The heat started to work; however, the vehicle shut off and the instrument panel illuminated. The vehicle would not restart and was towed back to the dealer. The dealer called back one month later and stated that they replaced the engine when the vehicle was purchased brand new. The contact researched and found out that there were reports that the engine was defective. The contact notified her state's attorney general's office and researched the lemon laws. The contact informed the dealer that she did not want the vehicle and informed both the dealer and manufacturer by letter that she wanted another vehicle. The dealer's general manager instructed the contact to remove the vehicle off the dealer's lot. The general manager threatened to have the vehicle placed by the road where it would get ticketed. The contact removed the plates and left the vehicle at the dealer. The contact filed a complaint with the attorney general's office. The failure mileage was 818.

I got my Honda Accord sport on November 30 2018 with 8 miles on the odometer. I noticed immediately that there was no heat in the car. I also noticed the temperature gauge in the dash was not reaching 'engine temperature. I went back to the dealer Honda of new rochelle, complaining of no heat while idling. I was told to put the car in drive with my seatbelts and brakes on to trick it' that seemed to work. A week later it started to get to engine temperature while idling without tricking it. A week later while idling the vehicle shut off never to start again. The valves were damaged. Honda replaced the engine that only had 800 miles. Now they want to give me back the car when I know there is something inherently defective with the engine design.

Oil is seeping from the top of the engine on the driver's side. I do not know the name of this component. Initially and shortly after we bought the car November 2018, there was the smell of oil/gas around the exterior of the car. I do not notice it now. I check the dipstick oil level routinely and had two dealerships check the oil level; one dealership changed the oil. However, the current oil level on the dip stick indicates that it is over-full and there is a slight smell of gasoline on the dipstick. The oil seems very thin (not viscous) and runs quickly off of the dipstick.

New Honda Accord 2.0T with 10-speed automatic transmission shifts very rough and slow from 2nd to 3rd gear. This issue has been well documented on Honda Accord owner forums and Acura rdx owner forums (the two vehicles share the same engine and transmission). The vehicle normally shifts hard from 2nd to 3rd, but occasionally it is very slow to engaged 3rd gear and then slams into gear. It's very strange how it feels. It can cause there to be a hesitation when trying to rapidly accelerate out into traffic and feels like it's damaging the transmission. Vehicle has been taken to leith Honda of raleigh who advised there's no tsb or campaign from Honda to resolve this issue. There is however a video that Acura has posted for their service technicians advising them to follow a "clutch break in procedure" to resolve the rough shifting.

My brand new 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T w/ automatic transmission is having issues. It shifts very roughly sometimes, I notice the problem most when the engine is cold, however it still happens frequently when engine is at normal operating temperatures. I understand that its a first year production vehicle and a newly designed transmission but having problems like this with under $700 miles is excusable. The problem did not suddenly start, I noticed the problem soon after driving off the dealer lot for the first time. And let me be clear, I understand what "break in periods" are for cars and I have not driven this vehicle aggressively at all yet, the very rough shifts happen at just normal everyday driving.

On a hot day while sitting stationary in my car with ac running, I heard a 'pop' with a fizzle sound then smoke began to rise from the front of the dash where it meets the windshield. The vehicle stopped running [push to start], and all lights flashed on the dashboard. The all sensors began to emit error messages. I turned off and exited vehicle, popped the hood and smoke was also coming up from outside the car. The car was purchased in March 2018, and at time of incident had a little 6000 miles. After letting car sit for a few hours it started up, with error messages across the display..I.e. TPMS, check engine, lkas, etc. I then had vehicle towed to nearest Honda dealer, and the service people were unsure why a module in the dash burnt out; so they contacted Honda Corp. Long story short they placed blame that a charger found in the bottom of my glove box caused it, which was never used in my car. To this day no one can answer me why a spontaneous fire started in my car while sitting still with ac running, but they refused to fix my car. This could have been a serious issue if the car was being driven at the time of this incident. Photos show possible leakage on the wires, but no on wants to admit that there is a big problem at hand.

The first night I took ownership of car, the engine light blinked and the car lost power, and became a brick. Had to turn car the off, start it, and began to function normally. Car showed 3 misfire codes on my scanner P0301, P0304, P0300. This happened several times, the dealership told me the first time nothing is wrong with the car. They checked the computer and it shows nothing happened. Reluctant to take the car I was, but lia brewster Honda was very forceful and took the loaner back. Not even two nights later the car did it twice in one drive cycle. Every time this happens in the rain. Lia brewster Honda has my car now for quite some time and no one can figure out what is wrong. I am upset that they told me my car was safe, I have a 9 month old daughter that is the world to me. I explained this and still was not taken into consideration. My car is still there, and no sign of being fixed. Only paid one payment on the car. They took my car due to the fact I video taped this happening. I feel the car is unsafe for my family, hope this isn't something that becomes a trend with 2018 Honda 2.0T. People's safety is a number one priority. Very upset I was told nothing wrong with my car, and was puts in an unsafe condition.

This car has started to show signs of bad build quality. 1st 2 days after buying the car all the lights on the dash came on so I had to take it in for a module replacement. 2nd the car is very loud ( the road noise and engine noise) worse noise I've ever heard from a new car and sound like it's has exhaust leaks. T|E vehicles ride is very hard like the struts are worn or bottoming out and it's not the 17 inch tires as my Fusion has 17's. the vehicle is difficult to keep in its lane even with all of the lane keep technology I have a hard time staying straight especially when I hit bumps the car hops around like it has worn struts. The transmission shifts into 1st gear hard on pulling away from a stop.
