When I drive it smells coming from the air vents smell like carbon monoxide smell weird... smell really dangerous
- Haverhill, MA, USA
Very loud roaring noise when driving about 52-54mph (and intermittently at other speeds). This not engine noise, but seems to a glitch in the automatic noise cancelling system that causes a feedback loop resulting in an alarming roaring sound that can cause driver to panic or otherwise be distracted from driving safely.
- Edgewater, MD, USA
A loud droning noise occurs randomly. Noticeable not only by driver but front and rear passengers. This has been brought to the dealers attention since purchase. They say they cannot replicate the noise. Originally happened between 40 and 50 mph but now occurs at various speed.
- Lynchburg, VA, USA
When starting my car, I am receiving several warning even after taking my car to the dealer. All issues were cleared but now only 4 days later, the same warnings from the safety system is showing.
- Raymond, MS, USA
This is a complaint for a unique occurrence of this problem on this date. In some instances, it seems that the ventilation system is potentially pulling noxious fumes in from the engine bay and in others, there seems to be an issue with moisture retention when ac is run. The vehicle seems to force foul smelling air in to the cab. Honda has failed to properly troubleshoot the issue (I.e. retain the vehicle for more than a few hours and try to understand if there is an issue with the ventilation system or something else).

The infotainment unit in the 2018 Honda Accord early on exhibited a number of issues, one of them being, poor connectivity via bluetooth. In this instance, the vehicle was showing the battery status of the connected device and claimed that there is one connected, but, at the same time, was indicated that no device is connected. See the attached picture.

A few months after buying the 2018 Accord, Honda had to put a software update, which they claimed was going to address and issue with the back-up camera (which always seemed to work fine, at least on my car). Shortly after the update, the infotainment unit had started to randomly (and rather frequently) reset itself every few day. Honda (after some trips to the dealer and several attempts to reach out to the Honda of America hq) had failed to acknowledge the issue and, eventually, begrudgingly had admitted to the problem; however, they had failed to produce a fix for months. My vehicle still does not have a fix applied and keeps having resets. I have spoken with a 2018 Honda Odyssey (which uses the same system), who finally gave up and got rid of the vehicle due to the number of recalls (and, to some extent, very poor handling of the issues by Honda dealer(s) and Honda), but they had to have their unit physically replaced. Supposedly, there now a recall, but you have to take the vehicle to the dealer (surprise, not). As it stands, Honda may have used a piece of hw which has a built-in failure (this could be more insidious than just a sw fix) and is refusing to address it in hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Why can't this be done via a 'simple' sw update the way 21st century car-makers do" or is Honda simply hiding an inevitable failure via sw update" on the noted date, this was yet another reset of the unit. The vehicle now has about 27,500 miles, but has exhibited this behavior for thousands of miles/over a year.

The infotainment unit in the 2018 Honda Accord early on exhibited a number of issues, one of them being, poor connectivity via bluetooth. In this instance, while the device was disconnected intentionally, the infotainment unit failed to retain the device's information and failed to reconnect upon a manually-initiated request from the device later.

The 2018 Accord have a system called "brake hold" which is intended to engage the braking system while a vehicle is stopped at, say, a stop-light. The intent seems to be to allow the driver to have their foot on the gas, instead of the brake pedal. The brake hold system frequently has an issue where it allows the vehicle to creep. This, generally, seems to happen in colder temperatures. Another, pattern of behavior is when the vehicle has been brought to a slow roll, then stopped (using the brake pedal) and as soon as the brake pedal is release, the brake hold system fails to hold the vehicle in the stopped position. After a significant delay, the brake system is engaged, but the vehicles had, at that point, lurched forward several inches, if not over a foot. This indicates (just as with the collision mitigation system delays, discussed in other complaints) that there is a significant issue with the timing of the control system utilized in the brake hold, the sensor(s) or both, where the system fails to detect the conditions in real time and reacts in a delayed manner. Again, as with other issues on the later Honda models, Honda has failed to perform comprehensive troubleshooting of the issue (even after me taking the vehicle to the dealer as indicated by Honda. This is a complaint for a separately occurring instance.
