Accord

"traffic sign recognition system" seems to recognize highway shoulder mileage markers as a speed limit because the small square signs have black letter on white background. [Pennsylvania, upper merion township]. the car's ocr algorithm processing is flawed. Should be looking for words like speed and limit in order to reduce the error rate. Also should take into account the car's avg speeds for the past 5 minutes to filter out false sign reconition. Reports speed limit of 65mph in 35mph zone. Once reported speed limit 120mph. The high error rate can lead to driver confusion and/or misinterpretation of current speed limit. While it is a nice feature, its accuracy needs to be improved. False reading has happened over six times in the past few weeks.

I was stopped at a stop sign. When I started to go again my car would barely move. All the warning lights started flashing with one saying to take the car to a dealership immediately. I was not able to drive the car above 20 miles per hour. I pulled over and called the my dealership, the closest one. My car was two weeks old. The service department said the computer stopped talking to the car. They were unable to find the root cause, after having the car for 17 days. I feel unsafe in this vehicle.

The car was in motion on the highway when all of a sudden the check engine light came on and it stopped accelerating. I pulled over and could not get the car to accelerate more than a couple mph.

This vehicle would make uncomfortable noise at a speed of roughly 55 mph. When I was traveling on highway and cruise at around 55 mph, there was a chance that I can hear a noise building up. This noise felt like engine spinning at 2000-3000 rpms but I couldn't determine what exactly it was. I am saying 'building up' because this noise would become louder and louder within the next few seconds, to a level that made me and passenger uncomfortable. Then I would either decelerate or accelerate a bit and the noise just went away abruptly. It didn't happen every time when I was at 55 mph, but in my recent 500 miles I have encountered 4 cases, which made me finally confirm that the noise was made bus the vehicle, not the road or other vehicles. I remember in every case of issue, I was pressing the gas pedal lightly to maintain the speed.
