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.
The dashboard and rear deck are rattling. tried changing mode on dashboard but noise remains. rear deck rattling even with radio off.
Second time occurrence - after starting the car all the safety systems ( honda sensing) started to give errors, abs breaks, automatic lighting control system problem lane keeping assist system problem road departure mitigation problem auto high beam problem brake system light went on car does not beep when you lock it trunk will not open turn signals will not turn display on the dashboard. we had to pull the car over and turn it off and turn back on. after that all the errors cleared. first time happened took it to dealer however they couldn't replicate the issue. they mentioned that the were able to see the error logs but not sure why it happened. we are worried about the safety of the car at this moment. will betaking teh car back to dealer on monday. (car only has 8000 miles)
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.
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. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
Windshield stress cracks after 1 month of ownership on passenger bottom corner side starting from edge of shield glass. no rocks or other projectiles hit the glass. online reports show that the same crack in the same general position are happening on these 10th generation honda accords.
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.
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.
I started to notice months ago, when stopped or idling, my vehicle begins to misfire or the rpm accelerates.took it in the dealership multiple times, they can't seem to diagnose the issue. this is a major safety issue, i have almost hit several pedestrians and other vehicles due to this issue.
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.
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.
