2017 Honda Accord

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT THE FACTORY CONTINENTAL TIRES PLACED ON BY HONDA, HAVE A TREAD PATTERN THAT AT LOW SPEEDS MAKES THE SMALL NOISE I AM HEARING BECAUSE IT IS LOOSE FROM THE WHEEL. THAT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, AND THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED YOU CAN HEAR A GRINDING FROM THE WHEELS THAT IS ACTUALLY THE TIRE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ESPECIALLY WHEN HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT IT.

AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR 2.5 YEARS, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND REQUIRED A JUMP. AFTER SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING, THE ORIGINAL OEM BATTERY WAS REPLACED. WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF INSTALLING THE NEW BATTERY, THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND REQUIRED A JUMP. THE CAR WILL START FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN REQUIRES ANOTHER JUMP (THIS REPEATS EVERY SEVERAL WEEKS). THE CAR HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND NO CHARGING OR DRAW ISSUES. THE CAR IS DRIVEN ENOUGH, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, SO THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE EITHER. IT APPEARS BASED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA THAT THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING TO OTHER 2017-2018 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH HONDA AND HAVE THEM PERFORM A RECALL IF NECESSARY.

1/10/2020 CAR WOULDN'T START. NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS. CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THEY PROVIDE A JUMP START IN WHICH THE CAR STARTED. DROVE THE CAR RIGHT TO DAVID HOBBS HONDA. THEY PERFORMED TEST WHICH SAID EVERYTHING. 6/4/2020 MY CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING EXPECT THIS TIME I DID DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER GETTING A JUMP START. LATER THAT EVENING I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. 6/5/2020 MORNING THE CAR WOULDN'T START. IN ALL INCIDENTS THE CAR WOULD TRY TO TURN ON BUT WOULDN'T, THE KEYLESS ENTRY WORKED, ALL LIGHTS WORKS. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ALL INCIDENTS. ALL INCIDENTS THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. 6/5/2020 MY CAR WAS TOWED TO DAVID HOBBS HONDA AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THE WAS COMPLETELY DEAD WHEN IT ARRIVED NOTHING WAS WORKING. THEY CALLED BACK LATER IN THE DAY AFTER DOING TESTING AND ONCE AGAIN SAID ALL TESTING WAS FINE. HOWEVER, THEY WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MY VEHICLE OVERNIGHT TO SEE IF MY CAR WOULD WORK IN THE MORNING AND TO DO TESTING AGAIN. MY VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED I CAN HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE RUBBING. AS THE CAR GETS UP TO SPEED THE SOUND IS STILL THERE, BUT NOT AS NOTICEABLE WITH ALL OF THE OTHER NOISES DURING DRIVING. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE GETTING STUCK OR HAVE A SLOW RELEASE. THERE IS NO VISUAL DAMAGE TO THE ROTOR OR BRAKE PADS, BUT THE WHEEL NOISE IS STILL THERE. I'VE SEEN MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH NO FIX AVAILABLE. I DON'T CARE IF ITS KNOWN TO HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE TIRE/RIM PACKAGE, OR WHATEVER. FIX THE ISSUE! THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ON THE HUNT FOR THE FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

CAR TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SCRUBBING NOISE FROM FRONT END. EACH TIME TOLD NOTHING WRONG. RUST ON ROTORS FROM RAIN. NOISE HAS PROGRESSED LOUDER DEALER STILL SAYS NOTHING WRONG CAN SAND ROTORS FOR $139 PER AXLE BUT SOUND WILL RETURN. CAR HAS 26,000 MILES. ONLINE FORUM REPORTS SAME NOISE FOR THE SAME MAKE/MODEL. CAR SCRUBBING SOUND WHILE IN MOTION/BRAKING. *TR
