2016 Honda Accord

MY BACKUP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET AN EXTERIOR REPLACEMENT PART. IT WORKED FINE WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF. NOW THE SCREEN IS COMPLETELY BLACK WHEN YOU ARE IN REVERSE BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE THE BACKUP CAMERA LINES. THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME $140 TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. SOMEBODY POSTED THIS EXACT COMPLAINT IN JULY 2020. THEY STATED THAT THE CAMERA HOUSING MIGHT BE LETTING CONDENSATION AND WATER INSIDE, CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT. THERE ARE TWO ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE FROM MARCH 2020, ONE IN FEBRUARY 2020, AND ONE IN JANUARY 2020. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATES WITHOUT FOOT BEING ON ACCELERATOR. BRAKING DOES NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN LAST TWO YEARS WITH DAMAGE TO FRONT OF VEHICLE TIMES TWO. PAST INCIDENT RESULTED ONLY IN SOME SCRATCHES. WE CHECKED WITH DEALER FOR OTHER REPORTS AND WAS TOLD THERE HAD BEEN NONE. ALL THREE TIMES THE BRAKE HAD BEEN APPLIED BECAUSE WE WERE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR

THE TRUNK LIGHT ACTIVATION SWITCH WAS DESIGNED AND PLACED WHERE IT IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE THOUGH NORMAL OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE TRUNK LID. TRUNK. THIS ALLOWS THE SWITCH TO BECOME INOPERATIVE WITH THE SIMPLE ACT OF OPENING AND CLOSING THE TRUNK MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CAR IS OBVIOUSLY STATIONARY . THIS DOES CREATE A SAFETY AND VISIBILITY ISSUE FOR ANYONE RETRIEVING OR PLACING ITEMS IN THE TRUNK. IT ALSO CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN ONE MAY HAVE TO CHANGE A SPARE TIRE AT NIGHT. WITHOUT AN EXTERNAL LIGHTING DEVICE, ONE MUST ' FEEL' THEIR WAY TO RETRIEVE THE SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS NEEDED TO CHANGE THE SPARE TIRE .THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN DESCRIBED BY MULTIPLE OWNERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES AND THE HONDA. ACCORD OWNERS SITE. HONDA WILL REPAIR BUT IT IS EXPENSIVE AND THE ISSUE WITH THE SWITCH WILL HAPPEN AGAIN UNDER NORMAL USE.
