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.

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

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.

I incorrectly described the safety problem with my Honda Accord in my complaint 11241841, so here's a correction. It is not the top of the calf muscle that is impeded, it is the knee which locks against the overly thick plastic (2"-3" high) surrounding the entire top of the center console, and so you must make multiple foot and leg stabbing movements in order to with difficulty actually engage the brake pedal to stop after being on the gas pedal. This would effect all males with height 5.9" or over and some taller women. The problem is the knee locks tight against the center consoles plastic at the top of the console, and your foot becomes trapped against the gas pedal. The time differential to relocate your leg and foot to engage the brake is an additional half second or longer. You have to hav legs long enough to have your knee become adjacent to the 2-3" high thick plastic along the top edge of the center console which runs the entire sides of the center consol at its top. It is extremely cramping and disruptive to leg movement by pinning the right side of the knee joint. Honda must remove the area of that thick striip of horizontal (front to back) plastic where the knee engages it, to allow one to rotate one's foot easily between gas and brake. If they do not multiple fatalities may occur.

The accelerator pedal is too close to the center console and this results in an inability to rotate your foot easily and engage the brake, one instead must slide ones leg and foot clear of that bell housing rearwards, then push forward and enage the brake sloppily, it slows down braking by about a second which is dangerous, and there is a likelihood your shoe soul will catch the brake edge and prevent braking. Ones leg and foot feel trapped against the center console housing. I believe this design differs from 2016 and before Accord, and is extremely dangerous. It slows your brake reflex down and requires multiple relocations of the heel which could block hitting the brake pedal and block any braking altogether and that could lead to multiple fatalities. At least for me, a 6' tall man in his 60S, the pedals are dangerous and placed wrong. It is a design defect.

A feature of the car is to scan road signs and display some on the dashboard, such as speed limit. I was driving on route 100 and the car displayed the speed limit as 100 mph. It did this twice, in approximately the same section of the highway, once northbound and once southbound. This occurred while I was in motion, but the display lingered long enough for me to snap a picture at a stop light. Note: The owner's manual admonishes drivers to keep the scanners clean. But I had just purchased the vehicle from a used car dealer on 7/23/19, and kept it in a garage overnight. It was pristine.

Within days of leasing the vehicle, we began experiencing issues with the trunk opening. The first time and a few subsequent times, we discovered the open trunk while driving as a result of a warning light and had to stop and/or pull over, exit the car, and close the trunk. Additional times, we discovered the trunk open while parked in our driveway (4/5 times), in front of a grocery (once), in front of a restaurant (once), and in front of a family member's home (once). On one occasion, the trunk was discovered open following a night of torrential rain. Fortunately, no rain entered the trunk.

Was driving down the highway and heard a loud pow like a gunshot. Next thing I know my 2018 Honda Accord sun roof shattered and exploded while I was traveling down the highway around 70mph. The sun roof exploded and glass flew into my car as well as flew down the highway. It scratched the top of the vehicle as well as the trunk.

On a number of occasion, both on the highway and driving in town, the adaptive collision control system has signaled "brake" while abruptly applying the brakes even though there was no obstruction anywhere near the front or sides of my vehicle, in one case nearly causing the vehicle behind me to collide with my vehicle.
