2016 Honda Accord

I HAD 2 INCIDENTS OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON MAY 5, 2016 WITH MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD EX. I DROVE MY CAR IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX 10:30 PM MAY 5, 2016 TO PAY RENT,DROVE CAR HOME A FEW BLOCKS. I PUT CAR IN POSITION TO BACK INTO PARKING SPACE. CAR IN REVERSE. CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST, MY CAR WENT FLYING OVER THE CURB, GRASS, SIDEWALK. PUT CAR INTO DRIVE FROM REVERSE TO STOP CAR - IT ACCELERATED AGAIN! CAR SHOT STRAIGHT INTO COURT. I PUT BOTH FEET ON BRAKE PEDAL - MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON (GIRL WALKING DOG WITNESSED THIS). CAR WAS FLYING - I HAD NOWHERE TO GO - 3 APT BUILDINGS ON LEFT - 20 CARS PARKED ON RIGHT SIDE. I USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP CAR - SINCE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW CAR DOWN. I WAS ABOUT TO HIT TREE HEAD ON - I SAW LAST PARKING SPACE EMPTY. I SWERVED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT, PULLED HARD ON EMERGENCY BRAKE AND STOPPED.. THE ENGINE MADE TERRIBLE NOISE, BURNING OIL, BURNING RUBBER FROM TIRES I HAD EXPERIENCED RUNAWAY CAR OR SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION IN THE ELECTRONICS THAT CONTROL VEHICLE POWERTRAIN. SINCE INTRODUCING ELECTRONICS INTO THROTTLE CONTROL, CASES OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAVE RISEN DRAMATICALLY. SUDDEN ACCELERATION IS OFTEN REPORTED IN BRAND NEW VEHICLES LIKE MINE. THERE IS NO "PROOF" OF THIS - AT HONDA SHOP - UNLESS ENGINEER CALLED IN, WHICH HONDA WON'T DO. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS. ONCE THIS HAPPENS - IT WILL DEFINITELY HAPPEN A 2ND TIME - SOME ARE KILLED, SOME IN COMA, PARALYZED. I CALLED THE PIONEER LAWYER ON "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" CLAIMS. HE TOLD ME I WAS QUITE LUCKY CHEATING DEATH BY AN INCH, AND I SEEMED SO CALM. THE DEALER HAS MY CAR ALL WEEK, NO CALLS FROM ANYONE. WON'T GIVE ME LOANER CAR. I HAVE HAD NO CAR FOR 8 DAYS NOW. I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR - SO NEED TO GET HONDA TO BUY IT BACK. DEALERS WILL NEVER ADMIT TO PROBLEM, BLAMES SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON INNOCENT PEOPLE.

I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE FROM TEAM HONDA MILTON, ONTARIO, CANADA AND WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK THE TPMS ALERT GOT TRIGGERED. SINCE THEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND ALL THEY DID WAS CHANGED THE TIRE PRESSURE. THEY HAVE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THE FACT THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE DIDN'T CHANGE FROM MY FIRST VISIT. IT GOT TRIGGERED AGAIN LAST WEEK AND I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THEM. APPARENT IT SEEMS THAT THEY HAVE SOLD ME A NEW CAR WITH A DEFECTIVE TPMS SYSTEM AND NOW THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE TIRE PRESSURE LOOKS FINE ON VISUAL INSPECTION AND I AM ALSO TOLD THAT THE TIRE HAS NITROGEN IN IT. TPMS IS AN IMPORTANT FEATURE AS FAR AS ROAD SAFETY IS CONCERNED AND IF IT GIVES FAKE ALERTS EVERY 3/4 DAYS THEN IT BECOMES A REAL ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERN ABOUT MY SAFETY IN THIS CAR AND ALSO QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THE BUSINESS ATTITUDE OF THIS DEALERSHIP. I WOULD HIGHLY APPRECIATE IF I CAN GET ANY KIND OF GUIDANCE/HELP FROM YOUR SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SUN SHINED THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND REFLECTED OFF OF THE CHROME FINISHED CONSOLE. THE CONTACT'S VISION WAS OBSCURED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30.

PARTITIONED SIDE VIEW MIRRORS ON MY SPORT MODEL MAKES ME MORE CONFUSED THAN EVER. IT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THESE MIRRORS. HONDA YOU MAKE THINGS BETTER, HOW IN THE WORLD YOU THOUGHT IT MAKES SIDE VIEWING EASIER/CLEARER. THIS IS CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF "IMPROVEMENT FOR THE WORSE". ALSO, HONDA USED A CHEAP REARVIEW MIRROR. REALLY DID NOT EXPECT THIS FROM HONDA.

STEERING WHEEL OCCLUDES THE SPEEDOMETER. ANALOG SPEEDOMETER IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD AND VERY LARGE. DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL YOU LOOSE AT LEAST 25 MPH RANGE (EITHER ON THE LOW OR HIGH END OF THE SPECTRUM). THERE IS NO DIGITAL READOUT WHICH WOULD BE A SIMPLE FIX TO THIS ISSUE AS THE LOW CENTER PART OF THE SPEEDOMETER "RING" IS ALWAYS VISIBLE. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS A BUILT IN ARCH THAT DOES NOT FIT EVER BODY. IT IS NOT ADJUSTABLE AND (DEPENDING ON HEIGHT) POKES YOU IN THE MID-LOW BACK AND DOESN'T LET THE UPPER BACK GET SUPPORT OR RELAX INTO THE SEAT. RESULT IS VERY TIGHT AND SPASMED BACK MUSCLES. THIS GETS WORSE OVER TIME.

THE REAR WINDOW IS DISTORTED WHICH PREVENTS A CLEAR AND ACCURATE VIEW OF ALL OBJECTS BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THIS DISTORTION AFFECTS THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW AND IT CAUSES THE OBJECTS VIEWED THROUGH THE WINDOW TO BE WAVY AND DISTORTED. ITS EFFECTS ARE MAGNIFIED IN WET WEATHER AND AT NIGHT. THE DISTORTION PREVENTS THE OPERATOR FROM ACCURATELY JUDGING THE SIZE, SPEED AND DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THE DISTORTION OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND STATIONARY. I INSPECTED SEVERAL SIMILAR ACCORDS AT THE DEALER AND THEY HAD THE SAME DISTORTED REAR WINDOW. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER ACKNOLWEDGED THE DISTORTION, BUT CLAIMED IT COULDN'T BE FIXED.

LOTS OF VIBRATION WHEN IDLE WITH BRAKES. VIBRATION FELT IN MY FOOT AND STEERING WHEEL. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY CLAIM THAT IS HOW HONDA LX DRIVE AND OTHER CUSTOMERS MADE SAME COMPLAINT. TOO MUCH VIBRATION FOR A BRAND NEW CAR. IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR THEM TO GET AWAY WITH THESE KINDS OF ISSUE. CANNOT ENJOY NEW CAR EXPERIENCE DUE TO THIS ISSUE
