I HAVE A CONTINUOUS SOUND IN MY DRIVERSIDE FRONT TIRE IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASE THE CAR THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING THEY CAN FIX BUT IT ONLY STOP THE SOUND FOR A LITTLE WHILE SO I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR THAT HAS A WHOPPING SOUND IN IT AS I GO DOWN THE ROAD THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE RIM BUT IT WAS TOTALLY SAFE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT FIXED BECAUSE THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY RECALL IT'S DONE BEFORE THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM I DO NOT THINK IT'S FAIR THAT I HAVE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR THAT HAS A ISSUE AND NO ONE IS CONCERNED ABOUT FIXING.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT AND WHEN WE CAME OUT AT NIGHT THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WHERE FULLY OPEN ON A RAINY NIGHT SO I HAVE A LOT OF WATER DAMAGE ALSO. I SEEN THAT PEOPLE SAY THAT THE REMOTE COULD HAD BEEN PRESS BUT THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE KEYS WHERE JUST LAYING ON THE TABLE. ALSO THE CMARA TO BACK UP AND THE LANE CHANGING DON'T WORK SOMETIMES.

WHEN DECELERATING WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY SUDDENLY BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. ALL AT ONCE, THE CAR'S CONTROL AND STEERING COULD NOT BE EASILY MANEUVERED AND ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM (EPS) INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHED. THERE WAS NO WARNING NOR INDICATION THAT THE STEERING WAS COMPROMISED. I MANAGED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE ALLOWING IT TO COAST. THE STEERING WILL WAS STIFF AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF TURNING DID NOT NOT CONTROL THE CAR ACCURATELY. I COASTED TO A STOP IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE EPS LIGHT WAS NOT PRESENT AND THE STEERING CONTROL WAS REESTABLISHED. THINKING THIS WAS POSSIBLE DUE TO A GLITCH, I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR ABOUT TWO MILES WHEN THE SYSTEM ONCE AGAIN WENT OUT AND THE EPS LIGHT SIGNALED AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, BUT WAS ABLE TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF TO RESET THE SYSTEM. I WAS ABLE TO THEN DRIVE THE CAR HOME. THE NEXT MORNING, WHILE DRIVING TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP, THE STEERING BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AND A BASIC TURN COULD NOT BE MADE WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A LOW SPEED. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED HOURS LATER TO NOTIFY ME THAT THEY WERE ORDERING A NEW POWER STEERING RACK. WHEN I INQUIRED AS TO WHAT THE ISSUE WAS I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CODE SIMPLY RECOMMENDED THE SYSTEM TO BE RESET, BUT "THEY DID NOT FEEL SAFE" ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT REPLACING THE SYSTEM. MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ONE YEAR. IT WAS PURCHASED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH 5,000 MILES ON IT AS THE MANAGER HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR APPROX. 7 MONTHS. THE CAR HAD THE 15,000 MILE SERVICE COMPLETED JUST LAST MONTH IN ADDITION TO AN OIL CHANGE.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND LOCKED. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE FOUR HOURS LATER ALL FOUR WINDOWS AND THE SUN ROOF WERE FULLY OPENED. THE KEY FOB WAS IN MY POCKET THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM AND THERE WERE NO WARNING OR FAILURE LIGHTS ACTIVATED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE CLOSE ALL WINDOWS WITH NO PROBLEM. I'VE NOT YET TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HONDA BUT I INTEND TO DO SO ASAP. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BUMPER STARTED TO MELT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DUBLIN HONDA, 6300 DUBLIN BLVD, DUBLIN, CA 94568), WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE BUMPER REPAIRS BUT STILL THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,661.

WHEN CAR IS RUNNING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE AND THEN STATIONARY (OUTSIDE IN THE DRIVEWAY) WITH THE CABIN AIR ON, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS COMING INTO THE CABIN AND IS VERY NOTICEABLE. I TOOK MY BABY DAUGHTER OUT FOR A DRIVE TO GET HER TO FALL ASLEEP AND WHEN I REACHED HOME I USUALLY SIT WITH HER IN THE CAR WHILE IT RUNS, BUT THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT I HAD TO WAKE HER AND REMOVE HER FROM THE CAR. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TODAY (01/29/18) WHO NOTED NO GAS LEAKS AND STATED THAT GAS GAP WAS NOT AS TIGHT AS IT COULD BE, BUT IT SEEMS IMPROBABLE THAT IT WOULD CAUSE THAT MUCH OF A SMELL IN THE CABIN. SEEING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR HONDA CR-V AND FEEL LIKE THE DEALER COULD DO MORE EXPLORATION, BUT DIDN'T SO THEY COULD NOT DO FURTHER EXPLORATION OF THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT SMELL THE GASOLINE BUT SOMETHING ELSE AND SAID IT WAS "OFF GASSING OF THE INTERNAL ENGINE COMPARTMENT CHEMICALS". BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I COULD SMELL GASOLINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, IT UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (CONICELLI HONDA, 1100 RIDGE PIKE, CONSHOHOCKEN, PA 19428) WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. STATE FARM INSURANCE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,800. *TT *TR
