2020 Honda Accord Complaint Log

The brake system failed. I received an error message indicating "electric parking brake system problem. Parking break not available. See your dealer". All of the ABS messages, cruise control, etc. appear and say, "see your dealer". My safety was put at risk because the break automatically starts without me even pushing the break. This happens without any given notice and appears before the message occurs. This happens while vehicles are behind me on main roads and also happens while on the highway going a high rate of speed (speed limit). There is nothing that can be done to stop it manually. The car stops on its own. No, I will be scheduling a dealer appointment, since the issues continues to occur. No, the message appears after the issue starts.

While early driving in early December 2021 in my almost new car (7000+ miles) most all the lighted problems that could occur with an old vehicle lit up like a Christmas tree on the dashboard. Most of the items may or may not have actually quit working but their problem lights stayed on. Still it is no fun driving without cruise when your wife has breast cancer and you have have to drive 3 hours each way to Gainesville, Florida for treatment. I assume all the warning lights functions still worked, but it is hard to tell if things like the brakes were pr were not working when driving as they seemed to work fine. So I soon afterwards took the car into the dealer on December 11, 2021 in Leesburg, Florida. But by this time all the dash lights remained off as they are supposed to. So all they did was change the oil and did non-compliance recall BMC software update 20-039 and BGCM software update. The reason I brought the car in was not specified on my invoice. However, The dealer did say that my transponder for the EZ highway system was blocking the camera on the mirror. I believed them. Since then, however, today all the cash lights again said they were crashing again just before a 2-hour drive to the Gainesville cancer hospital. Upon return the lights went back to normal. I don't believe Honda dealers know what the problem is or why it continues in many millions of similar Hondas. My research on the Internet found at different complaints about said dashboard lights crashing causing similar problems. Most of these complaints had the dealers fix "the problem" and charging fees but again the customers reported do-over same problems.

My husband had an collision on the November 11 2020 at 9 pm with deer hit. All the airbag deploy accept the Driver airbag didn't deploy even the car was total loss. My husband hit the chin on the steering and he is complaining that his jaw is hurting.

The contact's father owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated that following a short drive, the vehicle was parked on the street. The contact said that neighbors tried to alert him that the vehicle was on fire. The contact is hearing impaired and did not hear his neighbors knocking on his door. The fire department was called by a third party and extinguished the flames. The contact stated that the fire department left a note on her father's front door explaining that the fire had started under the driver's side front tire wheel well, then proceeded down the driver's side and was extinguished using water by the driver's side rear wheel well. The right passenger side of the vehicle was not damaged by the fire. There were no injuries. The fire department wrote a report and determined that the fire was an electrical system failure. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not informed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

The ANC (active noise cancellation) software is not up to date. It's causing a loud, uncomfortable booming or humming noise from speakers while driving. 2018-2021 models are having the same issue. Many honda accord sport 1.5 or 2.0 owners I talk to are experiencing the same problem. And are being told by local Honda dealerships they don't see any issue.

The contact owned a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the airbags deployed without incident and without warning. Due to the shock of the failure, the contact also stated that she then rear-ended an unknown obstacle on the road. Due to the failure, the contact stated that she was disoriented as a fellow motorist called authorities to the scene. The contact was arrested at the scene of the failure for reckless driving. After the contact’s release from jail, she sought medical treatment for a shattered sternum, a broken right thumb, and a hematoma on her left leg. The vehicle was towed from the scene as it was deemed a total loss. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

On August 7th, I was driving on I 75 South at highway speed ( 75 -70) and I felt the steering wheel begin to move from side to side. After approximately 5 mins of my steering wheel moving from side to side but very subtle, then my car veered to the left lane and then to the right lane. At this point, I had no control of my car. My car was swerving from one lane to the next. I attempted to press the brake to gain control of my car and that made it worse. I gently took my feet off the gas and I felt that I had some control of my car after a few seconds. I went to the right lane and pulled over to the media. I checked my tires and they look fine. I took my car to Honda and they couldn't find anything wrong with my car. I want to know what's wrong with my car because I don't feel safe in this car. I could have killed myself or someone else.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the parking brake light was illuminated. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that liquid from the cup holder might have gotten into the parking brake and caused the sensor light to illuminate. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000. The VIN was unavailable.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver while the electric power steering and steering assist reduced errors illuminated and the power steering warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired, and the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 19,000. The VIN was not available.

While travelling at highway speeds, rainy weather, the engine completely shut down. Engine light illuminated. Did not want to pull over on shoulder so glided to exit ramp. Turned vehicle off and then restarted with no issues. Drove approximately 150 miles to nearest Honda dealer. They inspected and said 'no diagnostic code' was registered. I took to my dealer and they tried to recreate but could not. They also found no codes. Had my family in car when full power loss. Very dangerous situation. I immediately activated the flashers. Drove in the right lane of interstate highway rest of way to dealer and home.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 70 mph while attempting to pass another vehicle, the check engine warning light was illuminated and the vehicle went into limp mode. The contact was able to exit the highway and park safely. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer where it was diagnosed with a misfire on cylinders 1 and 4. The local dealer reset the code. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,762.

Just before March 2, 2021 shortly after purchasing this new vehicle I discovered a safety hazard in which the passenger window will not roll down, I brought it to Hoehn Honda in Carlsbad on March 2 and they oiled the window to make it work. I had concerns that they did not replace the motor mechanisms and it would fail again which it has. Today May 17 2021 I was not feeling ill at work and went to sit in my car to roll down the windows to get a breeze and again the passenger front seat window is stuck. One or two times it seemed like it didn’t work but on the next try it did after the repair. now it’s frozen again. Having non-operational windows is a safety hazard and a passenger hazard, and a law enforcement hazard if pulled over and the window will not roll down. It is stuck in the up position. The dealership has no interest it’s a safety hazard and requires i drive it in and will not provide me a loaner car.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated the passenger’s side front windshield was distorted and replaced by dealer. The replacement windshield is worse than the original. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the windshield needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted but, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 3,731. On January of 2021 I called again and was told that my case had been closed. I asked that the case be reopened. On February 9, 2022, dealer said that Honda refuses to replace the windshield and that I have no recourse.

THE VEHICLES BRAKING SYSTEM CAUSES WARPED ROTERS AT VERY LOW MILEAGE. USING THESE SYSTEMS IN COMBINATION WITH THE WARPED ROTERS CAUSES VEHICLE SHAKING, DRIVER DISTRACTION, AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST SET OF ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY WHICH TEMPORARILY FIXED THE ISSUE. HOWEVER ISSUES RELATED TO THESE SYSTEMS INCUR EXCESSIVE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES RESULTING IN A RESURFACING OF THE PROBLEM AFTER A SHORT TIME. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SAFETY ISSUE OR REPAIR

WITH ONLY 2600 MILES ON THE CAR, I WENT IN FOR A INSPECTION AT HONDA AND THE REAR BRAKES WERE ALREADY FADING TO THE POINT THAT I MIGHT NEED TO REPLACE THEM WITHIN 2K MORE MILES. FROM WHAT I READ, THE STABILIZING FEATURE THAT HONDA IMPLEMENTED IS A BIT TOO AGGRESSIVE AND BECAUSE OF THAT THE REAR BRAKES ARE WEARING OUT MUCH FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD.

THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ~40MPH ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY UNDER CLEAR WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO AVOID ME BUT I DID RECEIVE A FEW HONKS AND A COUPLE OF FINGER SALUTES. I IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MY DEALERSHIP AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM - 4 HOURS AND COUNTING.

I LEASED MY VEHICLE A YEAR AGO, I HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY OLD CAR SO I WANTED A BRAND NEW CAR THAT WAS RELIABLE AND SAFE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. IN THE FIRST MONTHS THE CAR WAS FINE BUT AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTHS THE CAR WOULD SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST PIPES RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT FOR MAINTENANCE AS THE CAR SYSTEM DIRECTED BUT THE REPAIR SHOP NEVER SAID THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. A MONTH OR SO PAST AND ONE DAY I GOT IN THE CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WERE IN. I WAS SO FREAKED OUT BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW CAR AND NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOULD OF BEEN ON. I TOOK IT TO HONDA REPAIR SERVICES AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT A MOUSE WENT IN MY ENGINE AND CHEWED SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRES. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS 1700 WHICH IS EXTREMELY OUTRAGEOUS PRICES TO ME. ANYWAY I WAS AT HOSPITAL AT WORK AND I GOT THE CALL FROM THE MECHANIC SAYING I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE IT WASN'T A FACTORY DEFAULT. SO I WENT HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCHING AND I FOUND OUT HONDA HAD BEEN USING SOYBEAN IT PEANUT BUTTER OIL TO LUBE THE WIRING, AND THAT'S WHAT ATTRACTS RODENTS TO YOUR ENGINE. IT ALSO STARTED THAT HONDA WIRE PROTECTION TAPE WAS OUT OF STOCK BECAUSE SOME MANY CUSTOMERS HAD THERE CAR WIRES EATEN BY RODENTS. SO I WAS SO PISSED OFF THAT I CALLED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, WHY WOULD HONDA PUT PARTS OR USE OILS IN THE CAR ENGINE THAT ATTRACTS RODENTS. THIS TO ME IS, UNFAIR TO HONEST HARD WORKING CUSTOMERS THAT PAY HONDA THERE MONEY EXPECTING TO HAVE A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE.NOW I JUST FOUND OUT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED SMOKING OUT THE EXHAUST PIPES ONCE AGAIN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA.

8/31/2020 MY 2020 HONDA ACCORD POWER STEERING IS TAKING CONTROL OF POWER STEERING. I HAD A CRASH AT 400HAMPTON ROAD -DALLAS TEXAS. MY ( POWER STEERING) PULLED TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CURB, I HAD TO YANK THE CAR BACK TO THE LEFT BUT THE CAR ALREADY COLLIDED WITH THE LEFT CURB, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE SIDE OF CAR AND MY RIGHT HAND.

CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING PROPERLY WITH THE SPEED AND CAR BRAKE BY HIMSELF ITS LIKE DETECT SOMETHING BUT IS NOTHING IN FRONT

Collision mitigation message turned on, took it in to dealer and they said sensor was coming up as malfunction and not aligned so they aligned it. Although sensor was aligned emergency brake still brakes without an obstruction in front. It has happened on interstate highway at speed limit where speeds are at 75mph.

LAST YEAR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR I CAME OUT THE STORE TO DISCOVER THE GAS TANK DOOR OPEN AND THE CAR WAS LOCKED. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE INCIDENT IT WAS BRUSHED OFF. THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN CAPTURE CAMERA SHOWED THAT THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 90 WHEN I WAS IN A 35 MILE ZONE, IT HAD CAPTURED THE LAST TWO NUMBERS A ROUTING SIGN INSTEAD OF THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN. I WOKE UP ONE MORNING TO FIND MY CAR WINDOWS DOWN, THE SUNROOF OPEN AND THE CAR WAS STILL LOCKED. THE KEYS WERE STORED IN A PLACE WHERE THEY WERE NOT TOUCHING ANYTHING, SO THERE WAS NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE WINDOWS TO BE DOWN AND THE SUNROOF OPEN. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENCE. I CALLED THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. ON MARCH 18, 2021, I DISCOVERED THAT THE GAS TANK DOOR WAS NOT LOCKING AT ALL.

Both my wife and I have multiple dates and time experienced issues of CMBS Collision Mitigation Braking System, we would be driving with no traffic near us or with in hundreds of feet in front of us that the system would flash "brake" on the dash and then start slowing the vehicle down. Also the Front and rear brakes pads and rotor have been replaced under 6000 miles on the vehicle

WHEN TAPPING THE BREAKS THE HAS A SERGE OF ACCELERATION.... AFTER GOING OVER BUMPY ROAD OR POTHOLES THE CAR ALSO HAS A SERGE OF ACCELERATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL CRACKING SOUND COMING FROM THE SUN ROOF. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE SUN ROOF AND SAW SEVERAL CRACKS HAD FORMED ON THE SUN ROOF. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY CLOSED THE SUN ROOF AND STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF STARTED BREAKING APART AS SHE REACHED HER DESTINATION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CRACK OCCURRED WITHOUT IMPACT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO COLONIAL HONDA OF DARTMOUTH (225 STATE RD, DARTMOUTH, MA 02747) WHERE IT REMAINED UNREPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE TRUNK OPENED INADVERTENTLY. THERE WERE SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAN FRANCISCO HONDA (1595 VAN NESS AVE, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94109, (415) 687-0174) AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V771000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION, VISIBILITY/WIPER, VISIBILITY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING) HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,000.

At approximately 9,000 miles I noticed a steering problem with my accord. It started very subtle over a few weeks. Driving at a speed over 50 mph, the steering wheel felt as if it was sticking when trying to turn slightly to the right or left. It became more and more noticeable to a point where I did not feel safe driving it on the interstate at high speeds. When it would stick, I had to pull the wheel harder to the right or left to release it, making me feel I would over correct and run off the road or into another car. The problem was very noticeable after about 30 minutes of driving when the car was warmed up, and at a speed greater than 50 mph. The steering was normal at low speeds during slower traffic in town. The dealership duplicated the problem and replaced the car steering rack. This corrected the problem.

HAD OIL CHANGE SERVICE MANAGER SAID TECH CHANGING OIL NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN OIL . MANAGER SAID YOU HAVE GAS IN YOUR OIL.

THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE WILL SEEM TO LACK RESPONSE AND THE CAR WILL DRIFT TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT ONLY TO HAVE CONTROL REGAINED VIA A NOTCHY LIGHT JOLT OF THE WHEEL. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN DESCRIBED BY 2018-2020 ACCORD OWNERS AS A NOTCH AND/OR FLAT SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEN ON SMOOTH STRAIGHT HIGHWAY ROADS. I CONSISTENTLY HAVE THIS OCCUR WHEN DRIVING FOR MORE THSN 5 OR TEN MINUTES ON ANY OPEN ROAD. DOES NOT SEEM TO NOTICEABLE IN LOCAL DRIVING. I DO NOTICE THIS WITHIN 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (WALDORF HONDA) AND THEY DID A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE BALANCE OF THE TIRES. THIS HAD NO EFFETC FOR THE PROBLEM AND I NOTICED IT HAPPENING AGAIN IMMEDIATELY UPON DRIVING ON AN PEN HIGHWAY AGAIN. I'VE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST 20 SUCH COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEB-SITE FROM 2018-2020 MODELS, I'M SURPRISED THAT NO SUCH BULLETIN OR RECALL IS DOCUMENTED TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THIS IS PRIMARILY A HIGHWAY ISSUE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH, BUT I EVEN FEEL THE NOTCHY STEERING ON SMOOTH SINGLE LANE COUNTRY ROADS THAT AT 40-50MPH. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFINITE CAR SFAETY ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR DRIFTS AND THE DRIVER FIGHTS TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. ESPECIALLY CONCERNING WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR SLICK CONDITIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO HIGH-SPEED SWERVING TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE ROAD. IN ALMOST FIFTY YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE A CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. THAT IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE 2020 HONDA ACCORD NOW.

PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL. [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

REAR TIRE BRAKES STARTED MAKING A SCREECHING NOISE DAYS AFTER TAKING THE BRAND NEW CAR OUT OF THE LOT. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP. THEY "INSPECTED" THE CAR AND CALLED ME BACK THAT THE CAR IS FINE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO MAKE THE SCREECHING NOISE AND IT FEELS UNSAFE. THE CAR WAS NEW OFF THE LOT AND SHOULD NOT BE MAKING NOISES. I AM LOST AS TO WHAT ELSE TO DO.

WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED, AND NOT RUNNING, TRUNK LID UNLATCHES, AND OPENS, RANDOMLY AND UNCOMMANDED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS (4-5), OCCASIONS WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 7 MILES ON IT. MY HUSBAND INSTANTLY KEPT SAYING WHY IS YOUR CAR SHAKING WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES? I DIDN'T NOTICE BEFORE BUT WAS, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR STOPPING FROM A SPEED OF 50MPH OR MORE. BY THE TIME OF MY FIRST SERVICE IT WAS INCREASINGLY WORSE. I HAD THEM CHECK IT BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. IT GOT WORSE! I WENT BACK AGAIN & EXPLAINED IF IT WAS FINE WE HAVE A PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED IT AGAIN, SAID THERE MUST BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH ROTORS. THEY MACHINED THEM & PUT NEW PADS. THE NEXT MORNING BACKING OUT OF CAR PORT- SCRUBBING METAL SOUND AND SQUEAL. THESE BRAKES ARE FAULTY AND I CAN NO LONGER TRUST THAT HONDA CARES. I'M TRADING MY CAR FOR A MAXIMA IN SEPTEMBER. I HAVE OWNED 7 HONDA'S. THIS WAS MY FIRST BRAND NE ONE. NOT GOOD

THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE POWER STEERING WILL LACK RESPONSE AND THE CAR WILL DRIFT ONLY TO HAVE CONTROL REGAINED VIA A NOTCHY LIGHT JOLT OF THE WHEEL. ANOTHER WAY IN WHICH 2018-2020 ACCORD CONSUMERS HAVE DESCRIBED IT AS A NOTCH AND/OR FLAT SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEN ON SMOOTH STRAIGHT HIGHWAY ROADS. AS OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE NOTED, I TYPICALLY ENCOUNTER THIS ONLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT I DO EVEN NOTICE THIS WITHIN 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (LEITH HONDA ABERDEEN) TO WHICH THEY STATED "CUSTOMER CONCERN NOT DUPLICATED AT THIS TIME. NO SERVICE BULLETINS AT THIS TIME OR SERVICE NEWS ON THIS CONCERN". THE DEALERSHIP "PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TEST NO DTC CODES STEER ANGLE AT ZERO DEGREES". THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. GIVEN THAT I'VE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST 20 SUCH COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEB-SITE FROM 2018-2020 MODELS, I'M SURPRISED THAT NO SUCH BULLETIN OR RECALL IS DOCUMENTED TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THIS IS PRIMARILY A HIGHWAY ISSUE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH, BUT I EVEN FEEL THE NOTCHY STEERING ON SMOOTH SINGLE LANE COUNTRY ROADS THAT AT 40-50MPH. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR DRIFTS AND THE DRIVER FIGHTS TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. ESPECIALLY CONCERNING WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR SLICK CONDITIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO HIGH-SPEED SWERVING.

2020 ACCORD 2.0T SPORT 10,600 MILES I WAS TRAVELING ACROSS THE STATE WITH PERIODS OF LIGHT AND HEAVY RAIN. ABOUT HALFWAY INTO MY ~280 MILE TRIP I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM THE LIGHT, MY CAR LOST POWER AND THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING, WITH NO OTHER WARNING MESSAGES. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED TO FIND NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WARNING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE LATE IN THE EVENING SO I CONTINUED TO THE DESTINATION. WITH APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES TO GO, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AROUND A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE AND WAS MET WITH PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, AS WELL AS MANY WARNING MESSAGES. TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR ENABLED ME TO DRIVE AGAIN, BUT THE WARNING MESSAGES REMAIN. BOTH TIMES THIS OCCURRED IT WAS RAINING. BOTH TIMES I LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MOVE TO A SAFE LOCATION.

2020 HONDA ACCORD - NOT TRACKING STRAIGHT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT RECREATE. ISSUE HAPPENS EVERYTIME GOING 50+MPH FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME WHEN CAR IS WARMED UP (30-45+ MINUTES ON HIGHWAY. DID NOT INITIALLY HAPPEN DURING RESIDENTIAL COMMUTES, BUT IS NOW STARTING TO.) WHEEL STICKS TO ONE SIDE WHEN TURNING SLIGHTLY TO EITHER SIDE AND THEN RELEASES CAUSING OVERCORRECTING. WHEEL IS LOOSE AT CENTER AND YOU CONTINUOUSLY HAVE TO ADJUST LEFT TO RIGHT TO LEFT TO STAY STRAIGHT. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THERE IS NO RESISTANCE IN A CERTAIN SECTION OF THE WHEEL. SEVERELY CONCERNING. FEELS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND DEALERSHIP WON'T LISTEN. SEEMS LIKE SAME ISSUE FROM 2014 RECALL. PLEASE RECALL THIS ISSUE - I JUST BOUGHT A NEW CAR AND IT'S DOING THIS; SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY IN A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ME BEING THE FIRST OWNER - BOUGHT NEW IN NOVEMBER 2019 AT 6MILES. I'VE OWNED 3 OTHER HONDA'S AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. I FEEL LIKE HONDA IS JUST TRYING TO RUN MY WARRANTY OUT - I WILL FIGHT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF AS I FEEL LIKE I COULD CRASH AT ANY TIME.

I'VE NOTICED A VERY ANNOYING HUMMING SOUND WHILE DRIVING MY 2020 HONDA ACCORD SPORT 1.5T. IT WILL STOP WHEN APPROACHING A STOP OR WHEN OPENING THE FRONT WINDOWS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LOTS OF 2018-2020 HONDA OWNER'S ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND MENTIONED IT COULD BE THE ANC SYSTEM.

FROM OCT 10 TO OCT 14, I PARKED MY CAR AT OFF AIRPORT PARKING LOT FOR 5DAYS. WHEN I CAME BACK, MY CAR DIDN'T START. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. I GOT THE INSPECTION REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THE REASON WHY MY CAR DIDN'T START IS DUE TO BAD GAS. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION, WHERE I PUMPED MY GAS LAST TIME BEFORE I FLEW OUT OF ATL, TO CHECK WITH THEM. THEY PROVIDED ME A COPY OF THE SYSTEM STATUS REPORT OF 10/9/20 SHOWING THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES. SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT #3 CYLINDER IS FULL OF WATER; THEY SAID THEY COULD GET A FUEL SAMPLE ONCE I AUTHORIZED THEM TO WORK ON THE FUEL TANK REMOVAL AND CLEANING. ONCE THEY PROCEEDED, THEY STATED THEY FOCUSED ON CLEANING THE SPARK PLUGS AND PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE WHICH LED THEM TO FIND OUT THERE IS INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. SO THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD STOP UNTIL MY INSURANCE COMPANY CHECKS THE CAR. THEY SAID THEY TOOK MULTIPLE FUEL SAMPLES AND DID NOT SEE WATER BUT THERE WAS WATER FILLED IN THE ENGINE CYLINDERS. THEY HAVE ASKED ME IF THE CAR WAS IN A FLOOD, BUT THERE WAS NO MASSIVE RAIN OR STORM WHICH FLOODED THE AREA. THEY EMPHASIZED THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTABLE REPAIR AS IT IS NOT A PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH SOUNDED QUESTIONING. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OIL AND FUEL TANK, THEN THE ONLY WAY THAT WATER CAN GET INTO THE ENGINE IS MANUALLY POURING LOTS OF WATER THROUGH AIR INTAKE, WHICH ALSO SOUNDS RIDICULOUS AS I HAVE NEVER TOUCHED IT NOR THERE WAS NO TRACE OF SOMEONE TRYING TO OPEN MY HOOD FROM INSIDE AND PUTTING WATER. AFTER I EXPLAINED TO THEM, THEY SAID THEY STILL CANNOT PROVIDE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY THERE IS WATER, BUT IT CANNOT BE WARRANTABLE REPAIR. IF THEY DO NOT KNOW THE CLEAR CAUSE OF THE ISSUES, HOW CAN THEY STRONGLY CONFIRM IT IS NOT DUE TO MANUFACTURER ISSUES?

The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

I HAVE SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA SERVICE DEPART FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING. I JUST PURCHASED MY HONDA ACCORD 2020 VEHICLE A MONTH AGO.

A MESSAGE CAME OVER THE DASHBOARD "TPMS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, SEE DEALERSHIP". THERE WAS A TEXT MESSAGE THEN APPEARED ON THE MUSIC SCREEN. I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT LANE TOWARDS TRAFFIC AND I WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT AND HIT THE JERSEY BARRIER AND SPIN THE CAR AROUND. THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR HIT ME AND

THE CAR RATTLES ON THE REAR WHERE THE EXHAUST END WHEN I TURN IT OFF. IT USED TO NOT DO THAT RATTLING BEFORE. THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN THE CAR IS COMING TO A STOP AND THEN CONTINUES WHEN IDLING. IT FEELS LIKE I AM SITTING AT A VIBRATING CHAIR. THE ENGINE WORKS VERY ROUGH WHEN IDLING.
