2017 Honda Accord

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOARDWALK HONDA LOCATED AT 6807 TILTON RD, EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NJ 082234, HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

SINCE I PURCHASED THE 2017 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID TOURING VEHICLE IN OCT 2016 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE STEREO SYSTEM MAINTAINING A CARPLAY CONNECTION FROM MY IPHONE X TO THE CAR STEREO VIA THE CABLE CONNECTION. IT STARTED OUT AS OCCASIONAL DISCONNECTIONS AND PERIODIC LOSSES OF MUSIC OR SOUND FROM MY IPHONE TO COMPLETE RANDOM REBOOTS OF STEREO AND ABOVE STEREO DISPLAY. IN THE LAST YEAR I CAN NO LONGER USE CARPLAY AT ALL WITHOUT MY PHONE LOSING CONNECTION WHEN USING GOOGLE MAPS, APPLE MAPS, PANDORA, PHONE CALLS OR ANY CARPLAY APPS. MY STEREO NOW CONSTANTLY REBOOTS ITSELF, STOPS SOUNDS FROM BEING EMITTED FROM PHONE, RANDOMLY DISCONNECTS MY VOICE DURING PHONE CALLS BUT SHOWS CONNECTED STILL, STEREO FREEZES AND SO DOES THE SCREEN ABOVE THE STEREO, RANDOMLY SHOWS ANDROID (STEREO SYSTEM DESIGNED ON ANDROID SOFTWARE) ERRORS. SOMETIME I CAN DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT THE CABLE AND THAT SOLVES IT WHILE OTHER TIMES THE ONLY FIX IS FOR ME TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF MY CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE REPLACED THE CABLE MULTIPLE TIMES WITH DIRECT FROM APPLE CABLES AND MOST RECENTLY GOT THE NEW IPHONE 12 PRO AND IT ALL STILL HAPPENS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE STEREO A FEW WEEKS AGO AND WHEN I DROPPED MY CAR OFF I HAD THE IPHONE X AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP I HAD THE NEW IPHONE 12 PRO WITH NEW CABLE AND ON MY WAY HOME I USED GOOGLE MAPS AND MADE A CALL AND WITH THE NEW STEREO INSTALLED THE HONDA STEREO COMPLETELY REBOOTED ITSELF AS IT HAD PREVIOUSLY WITH IPHONE X AND REPLACED CABLES. THIS IS NOT A ONE OFF AS LITTLE GOOGLE RESEARCH SHOWS OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AND HONDA HAS OTHER VEHICLES WITH A MYRIAD OF CARPLAY AND STEREO PROBLEMS. I SPENT ALMOST $3K MORE FOR THIS CAR OVER THE TOYOTA COMPARABLE AT THE TIME SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I TRAVEL AND WANTED CARPLAY TO USE APPLE MAPS OR GOOGLE MAPS AND NOW I CAN'T USE CARPLAY AT ALL.

I WAS STOPPED ON A CITY STREET AT A RED LIGHT AND REAR ENDED BY A DRUNK DRIVER GOING 45+MPH. THE DRIVERS SEAT BACK FAILED UPON COLLISION AND WAS THRUST BACK ON THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. THE RESULTING SEAT FAILURE CAUSED INJURIES TO MY LOWER BACK THAT WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE HAD THE SEAT STRUCTURE BEEN DESIGNED STRONG ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND A REAR COLLISION.
