2017 Honda Accord

RESIDUE UNDER THE HOOD INSULATOR COVER IS ALWAYS WET/MOIST WITH LEFTOVER WHITE RESIDUE ON A BRAND NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD. INFORMED YONKERS HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT THERE COULD BE POSSIBLE LEAKAGE BUT DEALERSHIP DID NOT MAKE ANY THOROUGH INSPECTION FOR ANY LEAKAGE INSTEAD TOLD ME IT'S "NORMAL" VERBALLY HOWEVER IN WORK ORDER NO MENTION OF ANY INSPECTION FOR LEAK EVEN THOUGH MY WORK ORDER DESCRIPTION CLEARLY STATES IT SO.

REPORTED ON THREE OCCASIONS TO HONDA DEALER IN ANNAPOLIS THAT DRIVER SEAT MAKES A VERY LOAD NOISE WHEN ADJUSTING SEAT FORWARD AND OR BACKWARDS. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL AND THAT NO REPAIR COULD BE MADE UNTIL THE NOISE WAS EVEN LOUDER. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE 2017 AND FIRST REPORT OF NOISE WAS MADE IN JUNE OF 2017, TO SALES GROUP AT HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS, AND THEN TO SERVICE GROUP IN JUNE AND ONCE MORE IN DECEMBER. THE NOISE IS GETTING LOUDER. ADDITIONALLY A WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 40 + MPH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF STREET NOISECAN BE HEARD IN THE CABIN.

FIRST ISSUE I NOTICED WITH MY CAR WAS THAT WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT ROAD IN THE MIDDLE LANE MY CAR WILL PULL SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, GARDEN STATE HONDA IN PASSAIC NEW JERSEY, AND THEY REPORTED THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. I DROVE THE CAR AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED. NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER, DCH PARAMUS HONDA IN PARAMUS NEW JERSEY, AND AGAIN IT WAS REPORTED BY THIS DEALER THAT THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. I DROVE MY CAR AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE DEALERS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. THE SECOND ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE (2/3/2018. 15691 MILES) ON THE SIDE AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO GARDEN STATE HONDA REGARDING THE TIRE DAMAGE AND THEY DECLINED REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE AND INCREASED THE TIRE PRESSURE TO 37PSI ON ALL FOUR TIRES WHICH IS ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE OF 33PSI FRONT TIRES, 32PSI REAR TIRES (I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE IN THE MORNING) MY CAR FELT STIFFER AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AFTERWARDS. MOREOVER, THE FRONT LEFT TIRE RIPPED ON THE SIDE AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-30MPH ON LOCAL STREETS (3/30/2018). THIS IS WHEN I HAD TO BUY TWO BRAND NEW TIRES YOKOHAMA ADVAN SPORT A/S XL FOR $174.88 EACH THAT REPLACED THE FRONT TWO DAMAGED TIRES. RECENTLY (8/24/2018. 22442 MILES) THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BENT AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 50-55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

HONDA ACCORD 2017 CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) TORQUE CONVERTER SEAL LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. DEALER FIRST SAID IT WAS LEFT-OVER FROM ASSEMBLY, CLEANED IT. BUT LEAK PERSISTED. THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTED SEAL, AND YET PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY JUST WANTED ME TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THE CAR HAS ONLY 10K MILES. DRIVES NORMALLY. BUT LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID IS A TIME BOMB. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL GET WORSE AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION.

SO THERE ARE A FEW ISSUES WITH MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT FIRST ONE IS THE TIRE WHOOSHING SOUND IT MAKES I KNOW I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME THING AND I HAVE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE VERY FRUSTRATING THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED SECOND ISSUE MY TPM KEEPS COMING ON I JUST TOOK IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND HAD THE TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED AND ADJUSTED AND BARLEY A DAY LATER IT COMES BACK ON THE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS I CHECKED THE TIRES THEY ARE IN REALLY GOOD CONDITION LOTS OF LIFE ON THEM AND SAME RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING SUPER FRUSTRATING THIRD ISSUE IS THAT WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE AND THE INSIDE OF MY CAR GETS HOT MY SCREEN SHUTS OFF I AM TALKING THIS ONE IN TO THE DEALER TO LEAVE IT HOPEFULLY THEY CAN GET IT FIXED AND DON'T GIVE ME THE SAME ANSWER AS I GOT FOR ALL MY OTHER ISSUES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK HONDA BRADENTON (5515 14TH ST, WEST BRADENTON, FL 34207) WHERE THEY CHANGED ALL FOUR TIRES TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, BUT THE NOISE CONTINUED. AT 14,000 MILES LATER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE LATER AND FOUND THAT THE FRAME WAS BENT DUE TO FAULTY WELDING AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURING, WHICH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SENT AN INSPECTOR, BUT WAS UNABLE TO OFFER ANY RESOLUTION OR PROVIDE THE CONTACT A REPORT OF THEIR FINDINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,974.

AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, IN THE CITY OF TUCSON, ARIZONA, I TURNED RIGHT ON A GREEN LIGHT AND HEARD A LOUD BANG COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST SINCE I WAS TURNING FROM A DEAD STOP. I COASTED INTO THE SERVICE STATION ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR IN ORDER TO PARK THE CAR. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES NOTHING HAPPENED. PLACED MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TWICE AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. I COASTED INTO THE BACK OF A TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED. TWO WITNESSES TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVER OF A TRUCK HAD RUN A RED LIGHT AND HIT ME. THE POLICE WERE CALLED, BUT WOULD NOT MAKE A REPORT. IN TUCSON, AZ, UNLESS TRAFFIC IS BLOCKED OR SOMEONE IS HURT THE POLICE WILL NOT RESPOND TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS TOOK PLACE DURING DAYLIGHT AROUND 7:15 AM. THE BRAKES WORKED LATER AT THE REPAIR SHOP. THEY DID NOT WORK IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE I WAS HIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HONDA OF ROANOKE, 403 PREMIER BLVD, ROANOKE RAPIDS, NC), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.
