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.

The vehicle's safety system (not sure if it's the camera mounted behind the windshield or something else) will periodically interpret a road speed sign as showing 100mph speed limit. This has happened before and will have happened again (I am filing this complaint after some time has passed). As with a number of other issue with the 2018+ Honda models, Honda's response has been "take it to the dealer" while the dealer's mechanic drives the car for an hour, does not see the issue and then claims that nothing is wrong with the vehicle. A picture is attached.

2 issues that I am having is that when I press the brake pedal the radio goes crazy ( interference). Dealer notified and apparently can not find anything wrong so no fix for it yet. The other issue is with cmbs it failed 2wice in the past 3 days. Conditions of the road were good, ( no snow, no rain) and the traffic was not heavy. Both times the system fails to operate mid cruse and shuts off. The only way to get it to work is by restarting the car but this is not an option driving on a highway.

A loud humming noise comes out of the speaker and I believe I've identified as being the automatic noise canceling system. It's malfunctioning to the point that I have to open a window slightly to get it to turn off. I feel like it's at such a decibel that I'm having hearing loss from it.

- Portland, OR, USA

There is a humming coming from the rear speakers. It seems to be coming from the noise canceling system. There are a few different forums where people are talking about it. My car is a 2018, and there are people with 2020 vehicles complaining the problem still exists with the new vehicles. I have taken it to the dealer a couple of times, but they have no answers. You can check https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T75510_ds980301?sntemlid=5110927846#msg1127217 for one thread. I have also recorded the sound and put it on https://youtu.be/ss9stc9dfpe also at https://youtu.be/J5P7wudrbie and https://youtu.be/lyuwakpayfq I promise it is not a rick roll.

All lights in my dash came on, brake, engine, steering, collision, acceleration. I took it in to priority Honda and was told it was cracked spark plugs and it was fixed. I paid $260. Six days later same thing. Same dealership looked at it. Said it was fix, sent me on my way, but told me they would replace spark plug cover. Same issue happened again. Now back in the shop for a 4th time. Was told I had bad fuel injectors. Cost $1700, but I would have to pay $200 deductible. Probably is my car was brand new when purchased and I'm under 5yr, 60,000 mile warranty. So why am I paying anything if it is a powertrain failure and I'm under warranty. Please help. These incidents happen as soon as I started my car, and I took it straight to the dealership when it did. The last incident was December 5, 2020. Before that was twice in November but I would have to verify exact date based on when I took it to the dealership. This is the only place I service my car, and the customer service has been subpar. I couldn't even get a complimentary rental unless I paid out of pocket.

Air conditioning system has foul smell. Took car into the dealer but they didn't do anything to resolve it.

In December 2019, my car air conditioner was making an unusal noise when being turned on. I took the car to the dealer and the technician there said that the air condenser was leaking. He added that it would be a >$1000 charge to fix this issue. At that time, because the weather was not too hot, the air conditioner was not a big issue so I did not fix it then. However, in June 2020, the air conditioner was blowing warm air and it was a hot summer so I had to pay >$1000 to fix it by the dealer. I saw the recall for Honda civic model of the same year being claimed for the same issue so I talked to the manufacturer, but they were saying that the recall does not apply to Honda Accord models. However, my brother, who has the same model of the same year, had the same issue so he had to fix the problem as well. I also have seen several similar cases with the air conditioner of the same model manufactured in the same year. I believe, just like the civic models, a thorough investigation needs to be performed about this issue. If you google "Honda Accord air conditioner', it is not difficult to find the issue. I hope my appeal prevents any unfortunate, unexpected and still unfair cost to the vehicle owners. This is an air conditioning problem so in summer this could be a safety issue. Please investigate this issue thoroughly. - owner of 2018 Honda Accord

A few months I started have a problem withe the my car.I let my car for short time like less than one hour with the emergency lights on..but the engine was off (the car was stationary). So when I was about to leave from the place where I were I star the engine and it didn't work and all the light go on like crazy and 3 message showed on the screen that said it was safety to drive and there's a problem with the break system problem, anti-break system problem and tire pressure monitor system. So I called the dealer and they told me that maybe it was something wrong with the battery so they told to turn off and turn the engine on again and they told me that he drives it for a certain time and all the lights on the dash go out and since maybe it was because of the high temperatures we had. But it was like that I mean the car is still running "good" but I'm not fell safety.I already took the the dealer where I bought and first time they didn't do anything because all the light go out so they said they didn't found anything so the second time the happened the same thing I recorded a video and photos so I show them an the way the star doing a full check of everything so they didn't found any thing and still appears those 3 message a when I star the engine not all the time but they didn't fixed anything and they don't want to change for R another car..I dont know what to

The seals around the doors, weather stripping is coming lose, seats are falling apart, the radio and navigation screen will go black and reboot itself. The collision control system will get you killed if you're not careful. I was getting onto the highway from a traffic light, had my turn signal on. As I'm merging onto the highway going about 50 mph, the car thinks I've fallen asleep or something. The car forcibly takes me back into the right lane and downshifts the car while braking? scared me to death. I was told it was because I didn't have a turn signal on. Luckily it was 3am or I could've been smashed. Also, the brake light will flash at times, no one is in front of you. Or it flashes like you're about to hit someone but doesn't do anything but flash. Also, if you drive any length, it system will state that the driver has low attention span. Not sure why, it's not like I'm weaving. I think the car needs to feel some movement of the steering or it thinks you're nodding off. The car salesman warned me that the new bells and whistles, technology, could have issues because the tech is new but nothing specific. Try to sell me 3800 in warranty to cover tech. Thought it was strange at the time. Now, I'm thinking that he knew specifics and didn't share.

On 10/29/2020, while changing lanes, the vehicle abruptly cut the power and slammed the brakes, while flashing "brake" on the instrument panel. There were no vehicle in close proximity in the lane in to which the change was performed. The radar sensor on the vehicle has previously cause a number of issues and this was an extreme case of the cmbs (collision mitigation brake system) reacting improperly. The vehicle deceleration was abrupt to the point of potentially causing the incoming traffic in the new lane impacting the vehicle from behind. Honda's representatives had sworn last winter, when the radar sensor had malfunctioned to the point of causing a catastrophic failure that cascaded to several of the vehicle's safety systems that "issues would not happen again." That was a lie. Currently, there is a class action lawsuit against Honda related to the safety system in the CR-V models: Https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2020/Honda-CR-V-sensing-lawsuit-SUVS-suddenly-stop.shtml considering that the similar radar sensors are used in the Pilot, Odyssey, Accord and the cr-vs, an investigation and a recall should be launched for the majority of Honda model produced since 2016. Again, the system has malfunctioned a number of times, with Honda failing to address the issue properly upon several complaints and visits to a dealer.
