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 ...

For a while now, im noticing that the auto high beams on my 2018 honda accord ex-l 2.0t car isnt working. i've tried reseting the display audio unit, i've tried disabling/re-enabling auto high beam feature by pulling the high beam stick on the steering column - none of this has fixed the issue. basic obd2 (via bluetooth and android app) do no indicate any fault codes. will be taking this into the dealership to have it checked out.

Have automatic braking and lane assist driving. brakes on its own with nothing in front. happened twice. dealer calls it a glitch. i call it very dangerous. police officer was behind me when it happened last. good thing he had good reflexes and the speed limit was only 45 mph i was in the center of my lane with no obstructions, no vehicles coming from the opposite direction. turned off the program and haven't used it since. service department said would have to keep car and test drive until it occurred. i will do this, but am afraid they will be keeping the car for awhile because it happens out of the blue. it's happened twice in a period of two months. i have had the car for four months. another problem..paint is spotting on car like it was hit with acid. had protective wax put on the week i purchased it. vehicle has 3500 miles on it. paint also shows tons of orange peel. i paid a lot for this model. expected more.
