This car almost killed me on highway while driving 70 miles/h it decided to tap breaks by itself(slow down) the gas pedal would not respond it was not any car in front of me.i took it to a dealer they restarted the system said everything it's fine now but did not fixed the problem the same day i had the same issue with it.i don't feel safe driving in it.
Vehicle was parked/stationary on semi-flat a school parking lot. when i looked back the vehicles moved. seems the parking gear did not fully engaged. regardless vehicle was not in neutral or drive and it still moved forward with no one on it, no keys inside and engine off. vehicle hit another parked vehicle. luckily no one got hurt. seems that the transmission/cvt system may be at fault, but unknown at this time.
Repeatedly at random intervals during hot & cold weather i hear loud buzzing vibration sound coming from area housing high voltage lithium ion battery!!! over the past one year. always while driving at 46 to 52 mph, now in cold weather is starting at 35 mph . i fear over heating or fire from high voltage lithium ion battery!!! i had the dealer replace a mic located in the cabin and not problem was corrected, 7 different technicians at honda had hear this noise but they don"t know what it is. this is been happen since the car had 4200 miles now is 28000 and is getting worst . please if you having this similar issue take the time to report it here so honda can take it serious this can be a fire hazard .
Here is a description of the safety issues this car continues to have that the manufacturer and two dealers will not fix under the manufacturer's warrantee because they claim they can not duplicate and there are no stored error codes. this car has a lane departure mitigation (ldm) system that has falsely activated many times while the car is centered on the driving lane. the ldm activates by providing a warning on the dashboard and by moving the steering wheel quickly to the left and to the right which distracts the driver (a safety issue) and once caused me to almost steer the car into a semi on my right by compensating for the left steering wheel movement. this car also has a lane keep assist system (lkas) which repeatedly has steered the car off the road. both these issues have been recorded and provided to ahm and both dealers. these issues happen randomly on city streets and highways. additionally, this car has issues with randomly displaying an incorrect speed limit on the dashboard (100 mph in a 60 mph zone), falsely warning "steering is required" on the dashboard, a "shift to park" warning while repositioning the car and the engine is on, and the brake assist/anti-collision falsely activating when nothing is directly in the path of the car. all of these happen while the car is operating on city streets and highways.
I was accelerating from a stop at a red light and once i hit about 10-15 mph, the collision mitigation system came on and slammed the car to a complete stop for no apparent reason. i have a dash camera video which shows the incident. this was on a clear, sunny day on a non-busy city street (overpass).
The vehicle had a sudden loss of function in: 1. road departure mitigation 2. collision mitigation 3. adaptive cruise control 4. braking system the vehicle was in motion at speed of 10-40mph, with air temperature of 28-32 degrees and snowy conditions. honda has repeatedly refused to investigate numerous, potentially sw/hw - related issues that have been manifesting themselves in other parts of the vehicle. what happened today was a new set of symptoms, but with much higher severity and no obvious precedent. i have already had to disable the lane departure and the collision avoidance systems on this vehicle due to their erratic behavior. however, in this case the messages that have come up (will attache photos) demanded that the vehicle be taken to the dealer and the errors and message did not go away upon multiple restarts of the vehicle. upon arrival to the dealer, it was indicated to me that honda is aware of some of the other issues i've been experiencing with the vehicle and still (months hence) does not have a fix, and that honda has, essentially, been resorting to testing their vehicle on the customers, instead of more rigorous pre-release testing, instead choosing to use the dealers as a quasi-test/r&d department. the multiple safety system failure i experienced today is a pretty clear indication of that. i have filed another complaint with nthsa related to the other issues and would urge you to initiate a recall on all of the honda accords (and possibly odysseys and pilots as they share some of the sub-systems) for the 2018, 2019 and the coming 2020 models.
Collision mitigation system does not work; initial issue was warning systems went on with no one in front of car. second time brakes were applied to vehicle with no one in front of car, leading to car induced panic stop on road, thankfully, no one was trailing my car at that time. honda test drove and could not find anything; since this is sporadic, this was not surprising. told them it is a very dangerous condition and that this is a well documented complaint on websites; they told us we can turn off front mitigation collision system each time we drive. requested dealership general manager to report this condition to regional director at honda
My vehicle's backup camera software has failed again despite being "fixed" once already. the vehicle was recalled in 2018 to fix defective software that caused the backup camera to not function properly. the camera's collision sensor quit working and failed to warn me of objects in my path when i was backing up. honda loaded new software, but the problem has persisted. i took it back to the dealer for another repair, but i got the same old song and dance... "gee, it's working fine for us, and we can't fix it if it ain't broke!" well it is broken, and honda won't fix it. this is a serious safety issue, and i hope the nhtsa can help me get it resolved.
Collision mitigation, lane assist, road departure, and brake system malfunction before vehicle is a year old causing vehicle to leave roadway when using speeds in excess of 50 mph preventing vehicle from stopping, and/or causing steering wheel to "alert" you of lane departure while driving properly also causing vehicle to "steer" into side of 18 wheeler while traveling speeds in excess of 60mph for interstate travel with passengers in tow. has happened for roughly 7,000 miles. when brought to honda to be fixed, was told it was not covered under vehicle warranty due to having "clips" broken off of front sensor. was accused of sensor being hit by something yet no sign of damage. honda refused to have this fixed and simply "cleared" the alerts causing vehicle to not have use of any safety features but also not show any maintenance codes as well. honda service manager stated something as simple as a "junebug" can cause this to malfunction and that is why customers carry collision with insurance. states alot about honda's quality if a simple junebug can cause an entire $30,000 vehicles safety features to malfunction and a service manager not want to comply with safety standards due to some 2$ broken clips that can break by simply driving down a louisiana roadway. what does this state about these vehicles up north dealing with snow with a sensor that sits underneath the front bumper?
My vehicle was in motion at 35 mph with no traffic ahead of me and one vehicle to the driver-side rear. with no obstructions in the road or traffic ahead of my vehicle for at least a half mile, the emergency braking system activated flashing a "brake" warning light on the dashboard and locked the brakes causing my vehicle to come to a quick and complete stop in live traffic. attempts to override the system by applying pressure to the accelerator pedal failed to correct the problem. i estimate that it took between two to three seconds before the system disengaged and i was able to accelerate again to operating speed, narrowly avoiding a collision.
The adaptive cruise control will randomly stop working when i approach a car on the interstate. usually this will happen 1-3 times per 100 mile trip. i need the cruise control and have discovered that if i pull over, turn the car off, then turn it on again the cruise control will function again. pulling off on the side of an interstate or exit ramp is hazardous. apparently some people are putting their car in neutral while still driving on interstates, turning the car off, then on again.
While driving on the freeway, the vehicle front collision system stopped the car randomly causing a potential hazard. it is doing it intermittently with nothing in front of the vehicle
I have numerous incidents where the collision mitigation braking system has gone out giving an amber dash warning to see the dealer. when this happens, the cruise control will also not function.
On multiple occasions, while driving on the highway, my 2018 accord has unexpectedly braked when there was no object/car in front of me. when there is car stopped in front of me, the sensors do not kick in for emergency assisted braking. something is definitely not right with this car.
While driving i received error code advising that the collision mitigation system had failed and i should see a dealership for service. after stopping and turning off the vehicle the error message went away and system was showing to be functioning. 2 weeks later while driving at slow speed in my neighborhood i got the same error message. again, stopped and started the vehicle and message goes away.
I was driving my vehicle at 25 when it started showing three warnings " collision mitigation system failure, lane departure system failure, adaptive cruise control failure (see your dealer). i called my local hnda dealership in reading pa. they said they have received alot of these complaints and they think they honda sensing system just freezes in the winter. it only snowed 5 inches a day prior to this event. basically they said it will go away once its bit warmer and they have no factory recall. all the dealership could repeat " we are sorry". i looked all over the internet and i found 100s of similar complaint. my question is why they are not fixing it? why there has been no recall? the failure of this honda sensing system defeats the main reason i bought this car along with many others.
Wheel wells building up with ice/snow causing vehicle to vibrate while operating (like out of alignment) and hindering the turning of the vehicle left or right because tires are hitting the ice/snow buildup on wheel well.the tires when cold also behave as if road is slippery, both in acceralation/stopping even though road may be dry. this occurs in cold temperatures only. dealership states that there is nothing that can be done other than to drive vehicle into a heated garage to allow ice/snow buildup to melt off. this is a safety issue since traveling 15-20 miles in snow conditions and the wheel well is full of snow and the tires are making contact with this snow which will affect the tires as well. not being able to turn sharply left and right is dangerous not allowing driver to take corrective action need be. tires appear to be dangerous in cold temperatures because after they warm up, they operate okay. however when cold, the slip and slide behaving like you are on icy roads even though road is dry. took to dealer today.additional pictures and the invoice from dealership available
The honda sensing system sometimes automatically slams on the brakes at highways speed when there is no vehicle in front of me, nearly causing collisions with vehicles traveling behind me.
In colder weather, the vehicle makes a drone like humming noise, similar to running a wet finger around a wine glass except louder. if i open the window it stops, it also stops below 5 mph. it is very distracting, i almost went off the road trying to figure out where the noise is coming from. the dealer is telling me it's the speakers, but why would it stop when the window is open. i believe it's the active noise cancellation anc - once the vehicle warms up 15 - 20 minutes the noise stops. i feel this is a known safety hazard that honda is trying to figure out. one dealership told me the "engineers are working on it, but no fix at this time". this is a brand new vehicle and it isn't stopping. seems like honda is hoping for warmer weather but that is not right. please help.
In the states where it snows, the car collects large amounts of snow on the front, and knocks out the radar system for the lane departure detection system, witch also is for the braking system, that helps with cruise control and any close encounters. i am not sure if it actually affects the cruise control because in the snow is not a time to use it.
Observed spots on the bonnet where the paint has peeled off. the car was purchased bought in oct 2018.
My wife was backing up using the cars back up camera the view showed the direction lines but no obstructions. with no warning she hit a parked car causing damage to both. the car at no time was visible in the camera monitor.
My car has cracks in the windshield located outside of the vehicle from both sides on the wiper blades trails. it has not been hit by a rock. i noticed it on two different occasions when i was using the wipers on rainy days. i was told by the glass repair shops that it was caused due to the heated wipers while it was cold outside. the vehicle was in motion and while driving in the rain to work the cracks appeared to travel longer on the windshield.
The sensor for the honda sensing system is located where it is very vulnerable to damage and it stops functioning properly when it collects even a small amount of snow. other vehicles do not have sensors anywhere near this vulnerable. this system is promoted as adding to the safety of the vehicle, but because of the design and location on the 2018/2019 accord it is very vulnerable to failure. i have contacted honda corporate customer service who basically said there was not a problem since they had not received many complaints with the location of the sensor. i think they will in time. this sensor was damaged on my new accord while driving down and interstate highway in arkansas after owning the car two weeks and a day. since it is damage, the warranty did not cover the cost to repair the sensor. i am concerned this is likely to happen again because of the location of this sensor.
While driving the display audio portion of the car will shut off randomly and restart, or freeze, then shut down, and restart. there is sometimes an audio warning (beep) often times it will just randomly shut down. i have experienced it no fewer than 8 times while driving since august. it has happened in both city driving and highway driving. it always occurs when the vehicle is in motion. most instances have occurred when using my motorola g5 plus connected via usb and using android auto for directions, however, not every instance. the dealership and i have both done a factory reset on the head unit in the vehicle, as well as had it serviced for the recall and the issue still persists.
As i was pulling out the garage from the san francisco international airport heading towards the highway to san francisco the miles per hour is 30 entering and then 65 mph when you get on highway. the dash board indicates the wrong miles for speed it said 100 mph. it stayed like that for more than 5 mins. i already had a previous situation with this vehicle where the braking systems engaged as i was on highway in 05/13/2018, and almost caused my life and others behind me, there was significant damage from being rear ended and over 18k worth of damage but honda dealer keep saying nothing was found faulty! i had them turn 'off' all safety modes cause i'm afraid it will happen again but it keeps coming back 'on'. it yanked me several times when no other car is around me. the braking light appeared several times already since i got it back, and it's like they don't believe you. now after all this i'm stuck with a faulty car i'm really thinking about getting a lawyer on this. and my speakers seem not to be right either the sounding is very low compared to when i got it. only 2000 miles and this car been a pain . physically and mentally! and did i mention that my airbags didn't work from first incident i reported. after car was crushed in from being hit from behind . nope they failed too.
I live in rochester ny and even with very light snow that is not even collecting on the roadway i get an urgent notification that crash avoidance and any radar based safety systems are compromised and not available at this time. this is due to the radar unit being interfered with snow collection as it is in the shape of a square cup and it collects snow like a scoop. there is no heating element on the unit at all to keep it clear of snow and it's location is such that it is rendered totally useless in any snow what so ever. bmw, mercedes and audi all either have hidden their units behind items that are heated for northern climates or the radar unit itself is gently heated below a particular temperature to avoid loosing all safety systems. this is simply not acceptable in a modern car and i would ask nhtsa to look into with honda recalling all northern cars to change the radar unit to a heated version or to relocate it behind an emblem or something that doesn't collect snow like a scoop. it is a very poor design and impacts all distance and crash avoidance systems present on the vehicle. this is a 2.0 touring edition with every available option so it is not for a lack of spending money for safety that's for sure. the dealer said they have received many complaints about this same issue and are telling people it's made that way and frankly the sensor should be heated in northern climates. nice!
I was driving on the interstate on 11/21/2018 and i heard a very loud sound. i thought to myself, "what was that?" i looked up and saw my sunroof shattered and broken pieces of glass in my passenger's seat. i have no idea what caused this incident. i did not see any flying objects and i thought it was the strangest thing. i pulled the sunroof shade to close-out the noise and drove home. i'm trying to rationalize this event and i am still unable to make sense of it. i decided to search the internet and it appears that a lot of people have had this issue. i purchased my 2018 honda accord almost 7 months ago and i can't believe something like this has happened. i believe this might be factory defect, but i don't know how to prove it. i contacted my insurance company to file a claim, but i will be responsible for the $500 deductible.
While i was driving on a one lane road with no one else around my sunroof/ moon roof exploded/shattered. according to consumer reports (https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/exploding-sunroofs-danger-overhead) - this is a known problem in honda accords. the dealer refuses to accept the glass could have shattered on its own and says that its due to an outside influence and will not cover the car under warranty. the car was purchased sep 18,2018. i had to pay over $1,375.19 for repair.
Since purchasing the vehicle in july and especially over the course of the last two months the car has been exhibiting errors with the cpu (honda sensing) system on board. the transmission also seems to exhibit issues which i have taken up with the dealership on two occasions where it appears to shift hard under light acceleration and even under passing power. also, upon accelerating, the car will seem to bog down like it has a air intake issue(sensation feeling) it does it from stop and go at times and also when at speed. i have noticed that when it rains it seems to be even more pronounced as well. the other issue has been the honda sensing. as of late i have found myself turning off certain "safety" features out of fear of them malfunctioning after two freak incidents. twice when at speeds on the hwy, the emergency mitigating brake has engaged with no traffic around or in front me, basically slamming on the brakes which is extremely dangerous another time the steering has tried to yank me into another lane thinking i have gone off the road, the road mitigation system. these issues could have proven very dangerous in both situations if vehicles were next to me or behind me and these issues with a brand new car are not making me feel safe to drive the car. also, another new item which i have caught on camera is the radio head unit has now began to shut off intermittently during normal operation for no apparent reason or cause. i have had the recall on the back up camera completed already. but these errors still continue. the car is going to the dealership on thursday, 11/7/2018 to get these looked into, but this is the 3rd time the car has had to go to the dealership since purchase in july for non regular maintenance. i am going to only deal with this a few more times before i hire a lemon law attorney.
Rattling / vibration coming from driver's side dash area when accelerator pedal is pressed while car is in motion. happens after car is warmed up, and is an indication of a loose piece that could become detached and cause injury.
When driving more than 25 miles in a day my steering wheel will stiffen up and then it will release with a jerking like motion ( almost similar to a rack and pinion issue in an older vehicle). it progresses throughout the drive making it difficult to continue the trip. honda has been made aware of this and said it's the way the suspension is set up, however it shouldn't be stiffening up and jerking as it could cause an accident to happen. honda is currently in possession of the accord trying to determine if there's anything they can do. they've had the car for 17 days as of this posting. with all that said, i keep all the driving support features disabled. this steering issue happens on city streets and highways during the time of maintaining a certain speed from 25+ mph. it's quite scary to drive under these circumstances. the 2nd issue i've reposted since purchasing the accord is i also have to keep the collision mitigation braking system turned off when as soon as i remember to disable it after each startup as i've had sudden stops by the car at a nearby railroad track and a highway sign that goes across a major highway in texas which i was going 45mph. due to the fact it thinks there's something in front of me and stops the car. i've had whiplash twice from the cmbs system alerting the car to come to a complete hault. i've been fortunate that no one was behind at the times of these incidents, but one day i may not be so lucky.
Automatic emergency braking took car from 60 to 0 on highway (route 65n in nashville). luckily no one was behind me (it was 6am) or i could have been rear-ended. i could not accelerate or control the car at this point and came to a complete stop. this is the second time this has happened in the last month. this turns a touted safety feature into a hazardous feature. planning on a dealer visit this friday
'takata recall' my trunk will not open by key fob or by pressing the button along side the driver door. i have to manually use my key inside the back passenger seat where there's an key lock area to open the trunk.
While driving at highway speeds with acc (adaptive cruise control) enabled and lkas (lane keep assist) enabled and passing a car and another time an 18 wheel truck, the car suddenly and abruptly braked to slow down 5 mph. the road was straight and no cars were in front of me. this was a very dangerous situation because cars were behind me and they all had to react to slow down. t
I bought a new accord in september 2018, there was noise in the car, the engine also had abnormal sounds, terrible dealers, terrible service, terrible american honda! they can't solve the problem, just shirk each other's responsibility! recently i found that the lane keep system is not working properly.i have already gone to the honda service station 10 times for these questions! but they just told me that these are not problems. it's just unacceptable.
I was driving down a busy road in my town and no cars were in front of me and i did not lane departure at all and the car suddenly came to a complete stop almost for no reason thankfully no cars were behind me. this also happened again when i was on the freeway there was no car in front of me and the car behind me was coming up fast luckily they noticed my car braking and got over. sometimes my computer system shuts off and my radio and my whole dash if frozen i can't do the touchsceeen or any of the side buttons as none of it will work they only way for it work is to turn my car off and turn it back on. the backup camera also takes a while to go on i put my car in reverse and the screen is black and i put it in park and reverse again and it works perfectly fine.
Collision mitigation system would activate at random times even when there is nothing in front of the car and would slam on the brake when the vehicle is moving slowly at around 3 miles per hours in a driveway.
Faulty backup camera. while backing up hit a car and honda is not taking any responsability.
Was stopped at a stop light and the traffic sign in the dashboard in the car showed the speed limit was 100mph when in fact the speed limit was 25mph as i was at a 4-way intersection .
On several occasions this cars collision mitigation system has applied the brakes without any reason and this is a very serious safety issue for the public at large and needs immediate attention from honda. i've seen some complaints about the 2017 and 2018 crv doing this exact same thing.
The car randomly slams on brakes caused by the honda sensing collision mitigation system. this is very dangerous
The tpms light comes on erroneously..while driving, light came on. ran the recalibrate function from the system screen - this takes about 30 minutes. this has happened three times - checked tire pressure and they're ok... 3435 psi...
Parking sensor design failure. the parking sensor alarm intermittently goes off when the vehicle is traveling 5 mph or less, sometimes even when the vehicle is not moving. this failure in the system is a distraction to the driver causing the driver to stop what he/she is doing to identify the alarm. normally, this would not be an a major issue, however, when stopped waiting to turn left from one lane of traffic with little to no median, oncoming traffic will cause the system to constantly go off distracting the driver. there are also times when the vehicle is completely stopped and sitting behind another vehicle, that the system will again go off indicating the driver is about to hit an object even though the car is completely stationary. i took this vehicle to the local honda dealer only to be told there was nothing wrong with the system and the system was designed this way. this system is a distraction to drivers and very likely could cause sensory overload to drivers if not corrected.
Rattle/squeak from hud area of driver's side dash after vehicle has been sitting outdoors in the heat. vehicle is driven in florida and whenever it is parked outside, especially if left in the sun, there is a loud rattle/squeak from the hud area of the dash for some time after. passengers in the car constantly ask what the noise is. dealer has been unable to correct the issue and honda is aware of the issue. see nhtsa id number 10136423 dated april 2018. online research indicates this issue also exists in 2019 models as well. honda needs to find a solution to this issue and implement a fix for something they have known about for over a year. this is our sixth honda and we are frustrated that something as annoying as this was not discovered and resolved during the vehicle's development and testing. this issue was discovered during our first week of ownership and we have discussed it with the dealer multiple times. they tell us that honda is aware of the issue and are awaiting a fix from honda. until then there is nothing they can do.
*****asterisks are used in case your system does not support paragraph separation. *****while traveling on the highway with lkas on and lane markers registered (per the readout on the instrument panel), the vehicle will attempt to steer toward the very edge of the lane near a large vehicle (pickup truck, semi, etc). if allowed to continue while allowing the system to control the steering, the vehicle will maintain this position. *****while driving on the highway with the honda sensing suite on, the vehicle will occasionally register tar patches and skid marks as lane markers and road departure mitigation will attempt to steer away from the marking which means the vehicle may or may not attempt to leave its current lane. *****the above are reproduced daily, one of which almost caused an accident by attempting to steer into (and almost reaching before i could react) the pickup truck in the next lane. *****incident occurred one time: during heavy braking on the highway to avoid a read-end collision, the vehicle attempted to leave its lane. vehicle has approximately 6500 miles on it at the time of writing and was purchased in may of 2018.
My car `collision mitigation braking system` has gone out several times. my car has rattling sound from the sound system in cold days. my car also has rattling sound when driving on road bumps.
Takata recall my windshield cracked by itself when i turned the car on , while sitting on my garage. and it has no chip on it like when rocks hit it i had only drove it twice only
1. car multimedia unit (with a touch-screen) randomly freezes and restarts itself. it happened to me 9 times already since i bought a car in june 2018. if you use navigation system or need screen for other activities while you driving - you are in trouble, because you will lose all the content you had on the screen before the restart and it will distract you from the driving. after restart system is very slow and it forces you to accept legal declaimer while you driving! two times it just froze without restart and i had to stop the car, turn the engine off and on again, to remove the problem. very annoying and also not safe because it distracts you. one time it happened while i was backing up using rear view camera, which almost caused an accident. this happens randomly, mainly when i'm driving. it happens when devices are attached to the multimedia unit and without any devices being attached or used. it happens at night and day time and i doubt it is related to overheating. it can happen during long drive as well as 5-10 minutes after the engine start. no visible pattern here. ocean honda of burlingame dealership in bay area is not helpful and totally not professional. been there twice, no luck. they didn't even try to replicate the issue properly always trying to search for fault in my actions or blame compatible devices attached to cigarette power slot. american honda advised me to video record this activity while i'm driving !!!! still no resolution. very disappointed in honda 2. sensors are not properly setup because it "thinks" that there's a car ahead of you if sensor detect shadow on a road, etc. car applied breaks few times without a reason. didn't go to dealership with this problem yet.
All honda sensing lights goes off and see the dealer message shown on screen.
