In winter: For the first 25 minutes all the vents blow warm air. After driving for about 25 minutes, the rear vents at the back of the center console start blowing cold air onto the rear seat passengers. If the car sits with the engine running, the vents blow warm air; but after it starts driving, the rear vents blow cold air again. Whenever I have rear seat passengers, I have to close the rear vents. I have taken the car to the Honda dealership and received a meaningless answer that the heat works. This has happened both winters I have had the car.

Very loud roaring noise when driving about 50 mph in cold weather on a highway. 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.

Usually when the weather is colder say below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, a loud hum emits from the speaker system with or without music on if I am going less than 40 mph. If I crack a window or the sunroof/moonroof or a window, the sound goes away too. I also don't notice the noise in the summer/warmer months here in the northeast nor do I notice the hum when I am traveling faster than about 40 mph, such as doing 50/55 on a highway. Some folks believe it might be part of active noise cancelation to drown out the sound of the engine in the cabin. It seems I may not be alone: Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T75510_ds980301

I was at a red stop light on a local street. It was a clear, sunny day. The light turned green and I started to proceed. I was in the left hand traffic lane (there are two lanes for a left hand turn at this spot). As I proceeded to make the turn, the brake mitigation system activated the brake. There was nothing in front of me. There was a car behind me and to my right. I drive a manual transmission so this action caused my car to stall. Luckily the car behind me did not hit me. I tried to restart my car quickly. I had a hard time restarting the car as the parking brake must be on to start the car as well as the clutch depressed and foot brake pressed. As this all happened so quickly and I did not expect the car to stall for no apparent reason. I do not like the mitigation system as you have to turn it off each time you start your car. For a conscientious driver you do not need this system. It is only a burden and a hazard. I called a local dealer to ask about shutting this system off permanently and the advisor told me she had a Honda that does the same thing at a certain road she drives where there is a dip in the road. Please check to see if Honda is having a problem with the mitigation system.

I was driving straight in the left lane on I-95 and all of the car sensors all started flashing, one at a time. Shortly after, the steering wheel steered to the right and the car lost control until stopping in a ditch. I believe the car computer may have blanked out.

On July 7th, 2020 I was turning into a parking space at my employers. My foot was on the brake as I coasted into the parking spot. The auto suddenly lurched, accelerated, jumped the curb and hit a brick wall. My foot was on the brake the entire time. The wall is what stopped the auto. I reported this to Honda. They evaluated the auto and found no computer notifications of a malfunction and therefore no issues with the car. I no longer feel comfortable driving this auto.

Back in July 4, 2020, the digital part of my instrument panel, heads up display and my infotainment system crashed while I was driving. It took approximately 2 mins to come back on. Today, July 14,2020, the audio, phone and navigation on my instrument panel weren't showing up when I turned on my car. Also my voice assist doesn't work anymore as well as the navigation on my heads up display. I tried calling my dealership to set an appointment but the earliest time they can give me is on the 24th of July.

Accord 4-cyl

  • 17,955 miles
07/06/20 was involved in an accident due to the plastic gas pedal snapping off and becoming lodged behind the brake pedal preventing adequate stopping that resulted in me rear ending another vehicle. Max speed reached on the freeway before collision was 65 mph. Trying to brake was not smooth and I had to press down extremely hard in order for the braking system to respond and still ended up colliding with the other vehicle at a higher rate of speed than there should have been when paying attention to surrounding traffic, even with a car length distance infront of me at the start of breaking. It is typical of the braking system to engage when "detecting" close proximity to another object or vehicle but, on many occasions there was no one there; however, in the case of todays accident collision mitigation was not responsive. Tire rotation performed at Honda on 6/29/20 with reports that brake lines, fluids, and pads were up to par however this is most certainly not the case. There is currently a recall that has not made its way to consumers for the fuel pump in this car that took me so digging to find. Initiated 5,28,2020 but, will not go in effect until 7,22,2020. I could have lost my life today! such a scary situation to be in.

This car has a radar sensor in front behind bumper with nothing protecting the radar to prevent damage flying rocks animals ice snow etc...causing a consumer a 1300 repair bill at any given time I took my car in to a Honda dealer and the repair man the repair was not cover under bumper to bumper or any warranty stated it is common for owners of this vehicle and the radar can be obstructed at anytime without knowing why I have no damage or haven't had an accident this is unfair to consumers to pay this extreme amount for a ammenity that the protected or covered to prevent this cost

This is an Accord hybrid problem! in cold weather the vehicle roars so loudly you can't hold a conversation or drive safely - it sounds like a diesel truck is trying to pass you. Then it suddenly stops! a few minutes later it will do it again. This happens at speeds between 25 and 55 - surface make no difference, but much greater when temperature is below 40 degrees. I put 2500 miles on my first Accord (2018) before replacing it, now the new one (2019) is doing the same thing! I am not alone, the Accord groups are full of people complaining of this and nothing being done for two years+. dealer has told me for the past years+ that Honda is "investigating". mileage also seems to drop in 1/2 when this condition exists. Letting off the gas stops the sound immediately, but then it will start up again when under load. Only occurs in cold weather at speed, never when idling in cold weather. I have tried many times to record sound but nothing works. Btw: It is almost impossible to get the mileage claimed on this vehicle. I had a hybrid Lincoln and always got better than advertised mileage.

High pitched noise present so long as any power is drawn anywhere in the vehicle. The noise is a constant 15khz noise with sporadic noises occupying the 15-20khz range. Noticed in the days after buying the brand new car. Taken in to the dealership 4 times, Honda flown out engineers to inspect the vehicle. They said it's an issue but it is present in all model year hybrids, so they do not intend to fix. Most people lose the ability to hear sound in this range by age 40. Unfortunately of you can hear this noise it is very loud and so high pitched that I now require hearing protection in my left ear to drive the vehicle. Honda claims it is not an issue because most people can not hear it. I have read studies out of am australian university noting that even sounds outside our range of hearing can cause significant health issues (migraines, hearing loss, nausea etc.) they are refusing to respond to me in any capacity. I now have to set upon the task of trading in my car with less than 1000 miles on it just so I can drive with my ears unplugged. I am told to expect a loss of at least $10,000 on my trade. I have attached two photos of a sound analyser app I used to categorize the noise. First picture shows a constant bold line at 15khz right as I turned my car on. The second shows some ~20khz "chirps" I noticed while driving. Please look into this issue. I fear not only for myself and the massive financial hit I will no doubt suffer at the end of this, but for the health and safety of those driving these cars.

I was driving down the highway when my sun/moon roof just shattered for no reason. There were no cars around me, and I did not go under any overpasses. The glass did not have any chips, cracks, or any damage from being on the road. It literally just exploded. I was lucky to have my sun roof cover closed, or I would have had the glass rain down on me while driving 65 mph on the highway.
