2016 Honda Accord

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER (VANN YORK HONDA, (336) 841-6200) INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT MADE NO MENTION THAT THE REMEDY AND PART WERE UNAVAILABLE TO RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR AT THAT TIME. THE CONTACT LATER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY THE CONTACT, BUT THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. MONTHS LATER, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A SECOND LETTER INDICATING THAT THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THE DEALER (AUTOPARK HONDA, (919) 467-4747) WAS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE AND ADDRESS THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2016 HAS BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES, ALMOST EVERYDAY NO START CONDITION. NEEDS TO BE JUMPED EVERYDAY. HAD THE DASH BOARD FUSE BLOWN WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF PURCHASE OF THE CAR, HAD BATTERY REPLACED WITHIN 9 MONTHS OF PURCHASE AND HAD ALTERNATOR TESTED. SINCE THE TRANSMISSION RECALL ROUGH IDLE ON DRIVE AND RPMS LOWER THEN WHAT NORMALLY WERE. NO RECALL AS OER VIN FOR BATTERY SENSOR BUT THERES SOME SERIOUS ISSUE CAR WANTS TO STALL WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES. SOMETING SERIOUSLY WRONG. RANDOMLY STEERING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE LIGHY COMES ON AND GOES OFF

THE FIRESTONE AFFINITY TOURING TIRES ON MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD WOULD NOT GRIP ON A DUSTING OF SNOW AND ICE! (LESS THAN ONE INCH!) THE TIRES WOULD SPIN AND SLIP ON A SLIGHT INCLINE OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AT MY LOCAL DRUGSTORE! OTHER CARS WHERE PASSING ME BY WITH NO PROBLEM. WHEN COMING HOME AND SLOWLY TURNING INTO MY PARKING GARAGE, THE TIRES STARTED TO SLIP AND SKID! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR TIRE BRAND! THESE ARE LOW RESISTANCE TIRES WHICH GRIP WELL ON DRY PAVEMENT BUT DO NOT GRIP IN THE SNOW! I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS FROM PEOPLE THAT THIS BRAND OF TIRE GAVE THEM THE SAME PROBLEM. IN SHORT, THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FACTORY INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE UNLESS IT WAS TO BE SOLD IN A DRY CLIMATE REGION! I AM NOW PAYING FOR A CAR I CANNOT USE IN THE SNOW AND AM HAVING A HARD TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE! IT'S FUNNY THAT ALL THE HONDA ACCORDS I HAVE SEEN IN DEALERSHIPS AND ON THE STREET HAVE GOODYEAR OR MICHELIN TIRES ON THEM! NOT FIRESTONE!

A RECALL WAS ISSUED REGARDING THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENSOR AND BATTERY IS OUT AT 46K MILES. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENSOR DIDN'T TAKE OUT THE BATTERY ALSO SINCE IS IT MANAGING THE BATTERY? ALSO, HALF OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT DECIDE TO GO OUT TOO. IF YOU WEB SEARCH THESE ISSUES, THESE ARE COMMON ISSUE FOR THE HONDA ACCORD. I GUESS HONDA IS ONLY KNOWN TO BE RELIABLE UNTIL THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER.
