2017 Honda Accord

MY NEW ACCORD WITH A V6 ENGINE LIKES TO ENGINE BRAKE BY ITSELF. AS A RESULT IT WILL NOT COAST AND MAKES BRAKING UNPREDICTABLE AND VERY TIRING, ESPECIALLY WHEN DOING CITY DRIVING THAT INVOLVES STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS. WHEN IN MEDIUM TRAFFIC BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MPH YOU CAN FEEL IT DOWNSHIFTING EVERY TIME. WHEN COMING TO A CORNER AND MAKING THE RIGHT TURN CAR JERKS AS IT DOWNSHIFTS OR UPSHIFTS. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE ON 6/23/17 AND ON 6/26/17 AND THEY FELT WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING BOTH TIMES AND DISMISSED IT AS NORMAL. THE CASE MANAGER I COMPLAINED TO ALSO DISMISSED IT AS NORMAL WHILE TREATING MY CONCERN AS NOTHING BUT A TYPICAL COMPLAINT INCLUDING WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT MY NECK JERKED ONE TIME AS A RESULT OF THE ROUGH SHIFTING. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPANIES ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE FOR THE 9TH GENERATION ACCORD AND EVEN OLDER MODELS, ALL WITH THE V6 ENGINE. FOR REFERENCE I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON AN 05 ACCORD V6 ON WHICH THE SAME DEALER FELT THE ISSUE AND SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF BAD ENGINE MOUNTS. I HAD THOSE REPLACED AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN AGAIN THEY CALLED IT NORMAL OPERATION OF THE TRANSMISSION AT THIS POINT (REALLY?!!). WHEN THE ISSUE GOT WORSE I TOOK IT IN TO A LOCAL CERTIFIED SHOP IN VALPARAISO IN (OTHER TIMES WERE IN CHICAGO) AT 59,000 MILES AT THEY REPLACED IT WITH A BRAND NEW TRANS FROM HONDA. THE ISSUE NEVER WENT AWAY. MY MECHANIC WHO DROVE THE OLD CAR AND TEST DROVE THE NEW ONE CALLED THIS COMPLETELY ABNORMAL. THIS GUY HAS 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH VEHICLES RANGING FROM TOYOTA TO MERCEDES AND A WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO WILL VOUCH FOR HOW GOOD HE IS. I AM TAKING THE NEW ACCORD IN ONE MORE TIME TOMORROW (6/28/17) TO THE DEALER OF ORIGIN BUT I AM GUESSING THE SAME ANSWER WILL ARISE. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. THIS ENGINE BRAKING IS NOT NORMAL.

MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING HAS UNINTENDED BREAKING ONCE THE GAS PEDAL IS RELEASED, RATHER THAN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP IT ABRUPTLY APPLIES THE BREAKS ON ITS ON WITHOUT ANY CAR IN SIGHT (THEREFORE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SAFETY FEATURE) WHETHER I AM DRIVING ON A FLAT EVEN SURFACE ROAD, UP OR DOWN A HILL. IN ORDER TO PREVENT OR MINIMIZE THE UNEXPECTED BREAKING I AM HAVING TO APPLY THE GAS TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT VELOCITY BEFORE APPLYING THE BRAKES. EVEN IF I AM GOING 40,30, 25 MPHS AND I APPLY THE BRAKES TO GRADUALLY COME TO A STOP THE CAR IS STILL STOPPING ABRUPTLY ON ITS OWN WITH ITS UNANNOUNCED BRAKING AS IT GOES FROM 40 TO 30 AND SO FORTH AND OVERRIDING MY APPLICATION OFF APPLYING THE BRAKES. AND TO BE CLEAR IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LEVEL OF PRESSURE APPLIED OR NOT APPLIED ON THE BRAKES, ETC. THERE IS ALSO A NOISE THAT I HAVE PICKED UP EACH TIME IT BRAKES. NOT TO MENTION THAT I HAVE ALSO DRIVEN A SIMILAR YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF THE NEW CAR I PURCHASED AND THIS DID NOT OCCUR, SO IT'S DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR (WHETHER ITS SOFTWARE RELATED, ETC.). IN ADDITION TO THIS I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE RPMS WHEN THE CAR IS IDLING WHILE ON PARK OR WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IS HIGHER THAN NORMAL (OVER 750RPMS, WHEN IT SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN 500RPMS WHEN IDLING), WHICH MIGHT EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR IS JOLTING ON ITS OWN WHEN I RELEASE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WITHOUT APPLYING THE GAS. WHEN A CAR IS DRIVEN AT A SPEED OF 40MPS, ETC MPHS AND YOU RELEASE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO DECELERATE SLOWLY ON ITS OWN, NOT GO THROUGH MOMENTS WHERE IT APPLIES HARD BRAKING THEN RESUMES GRADUAL DECELERATION TO THEN AGAIN STOP ABRUPTLY, WHICH IS WHAT THIS CAR IS CONSTANTLY DOING. NOT TO MENTION THAT EVEN MAINTAINING CRUISING SPEED (WHETHER 25, 40 65) IN THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO HOLD THE SPEED AT A CONSTANT RATE, IT EITHER DECIDES TO SPEED UP OR DECELERATE ON ITS OWN.

SUNROOF ON ACCORD EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING. THE EDGES OF THE SHARDS WERE POINTING UPWARDS. DEALER IS SAYING THAT WE WERE HIT BY SOMETHING AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. NOTHING HIT ME WHILE DRIVING, HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION WITH GLASS RAINING DOWN AND THE ROOF AND TRUNK LID ARE VISIBLY SCRATCHED FROM THE GLASS. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR ONLY 2 WEEKS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. *TR

I BOUGHT 2017 HONDA ACCORD AND WITHIN A DAY THERE WERE 2 AIR BAG SIGNS CAME UP. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID WHENEVER YOU COME THIS SIDE BRING THE CAR. THEY CHECKED THE CAR THAT WEEKEND AND FOUND A FAULTY SRS MODULE. THEY REPLACED IT, BUT HOW A NEW CAR HAVE A FAULTY SRS MODULE? HOW QUALITY CONTROL DEPT. STAMPED IT WITHOUT CHECKING IT? WHAT IF SOMETHING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME?
