problem #115

Car is driven in North east area of USA. This car stopped blowing cold air one fine day. On inspection from dealer it was assessed that Condenser was leaking. As per the assessment there was no physical damage. Most probably manufacturer fault. Car is driven only 30500 miles at time of reporting this incident. Single owner. Only commute from home to office and back and that too minimal commute during pandemic. No accident or impact whatsoever.

- AC compressor failed within 1 year. Replaced. New one failed in 2 years now out of warranty. - Very limited heat on cold days in winter. Must be driving constantly in higher rev (no stop and go) can't use eco mode. Dealer says it's "normal" but my Civic that's 7 years older has no issues. Seems to be the same as current recall for other Honda CRV models - HUD rattles constantly in hot weather, dealer refuses to do anything despite a service bulletin - Rear speaker deck rattles constantly with all styles of music even at low volume. Dealer has "fixed" twice but problem remains. Not of safety concern All concerns reproduceable but several dismissed by deal Yes, available for inspection upon request

Collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer. This has showed up 3 times on my car so far, 2 times in 6 days. Driving in good weather, clean highways, checked radar for debris and have not found any each time. Dealer says no code, nothing wrong! why is it telling me to "see dealer" "??" if nothing is wrong. All the safety, cruise and braking safety features were shut off, could not use cruise alone after. Happened once in 2020 and March 20&26 of 2021. Dealer keeps telling me nothing is wrong!

Burning excessive gas. Every 2 days I have been filling my tank. Filled tank to half tank of gas and within less than 24 hours I am on empty.

My 2018 Honda Accord has a humming/droning noise that based on my research is coming from the anti noise system (ans). This is a common and annoying problem amongst Accord owners. Please help...love the car other than this issue.

problem #108

I was driving on the highway at about 65 miles/hour when I began to hear a hissing sound coming from the left most air vent. Within seconds, a strong electrical or burning rubber smell began to fill the cabin. The hissing sound eventually subsided. Shortly thereafter, white smoke began to come through the air vents. The smoke lasted for about 45-60 seconds. First thing the next morning, I took the vehicle to my local Honda dealer to have the issue fixed under warranty. They had the vehicle for 4 working days but could not find anything wrong with it, and instructed me to bring the vehicle back to them if it happens again. They did say that the car had a code for a "fault in the blower motor circuit", but said that that was probably nothing to worry about. As of March 4th 2021, this issue has not reappeared since the initial occurrence.

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).
