2017 Honda Accord

NOTICED SOME RUST ON THE BUMPER THERE IS A LAYER OF PAINT AND METAL THAT SCRAPED OFF FROM ROCKS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE UNDER METAL HAS HEAVY RUST IT HAS NOT SNOWED HERE IN TEXAS SO THERE IS NO SALT ON THE ROADS. WE HAVE ONLY HAD RAIN. I'M AFRAID THERE MAYBE OTHER PARTS OF THIS NEW VEHICLE THAT ARE GOING TO RUST LIKE THIS OVER TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 80 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HONDA WEST LOCATED AT 7615 W SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89117; (800) 249-9504 WHERE THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

RODENT'S CHEWED A HOLE IN THE EVAP LINE COMING OFF THE FUEL TANK. 2552 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CORRUGATED EVAP LINE HAS A SOY BASED COATING. BECAUSE THIS LINE IS BUILT INTO THE FUEL TANK THE WHOLE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATED COST IS $1552, NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY. VERY WORRIED A SIMILAR PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART AND I'LL BE LOOKING AT MULTIPLE REPLACEMENTS. ASKING THE REPAIR SHOP TO TREAT THE NEW PART WITH HONDA'S RODENT DETERRENT TAPE PART # 4019-2317, BEFORE REINSTALLING.

WHEN FIRST DROVE NEW CAR OFF LOT (0 MILES) 9/2016 AND MANY TIMES OVER SEVERAL MONTHS LATER TO (7K MI) 8/2017, CAR TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON WHILE DRIVING IN CITY AND HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. DEALER CLAIMS TIRES NOT PART OF CAR WARRANTY. REPLACED TIRE, LIGHT STILL COMES ON. DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING...DON'T KNOW IF TIRES PROPERLY INFLATED. UNCOMFORTABLE SEATING AND HEAD REST (DRIVER'S SEAT).

ON THE NIGHT ON JULY 3, 2017 THE 2017 HONDA ACCORD WHICH WAS ONLY 5 WEEKS OLD WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOUSE. THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND THE MOTOR WAS TURNED OFF. YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY UNLESS THE CAR WAS IN PARK. THE CAR THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HONDA ACCORD WENT TO BACK OUT WITHOUT REALIZING A CAR WAS BEHIND IT. THE OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED WAS A KIA OPTIMA. THE KIA OPTIMA LIGHTLY BUMPED THE HONDA ACCORD AND STOPPED AS SOON AS IT REALIZED THE HONDA WAS BEHIND IT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE HONDA ACCORD OR TO THE BACK OF THE KIA OPTIMA. THE HONDA ACCORD WAS PARKED ON A FLAT SURFACE AT THE TIME. WHEN THE KIA HIT THE HONDA THE HONDA ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND HIT A LIGHT POLE. THE ENTIRE LIGHT POLE CRASHED DOWN AND BROKE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL I SAW MY NEIGHBOR'S VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE INCIDENT. WE CONTACTED HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND OF COURSE AT FIRST THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL THEY SAW THE VIDEO. AFTER A FEW DAYS HONDA GOT CORPORATE TECH SUPPORT INVOLVED AND WAS TOLD NOT TO RELEASE THE CAR BACK TO ME UNTIL THEY FOUND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK HONDA TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT AS A "PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE" THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY DID REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BUT SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE BACK OF THE HONDA OR THE LIGHT POLE. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND THE LIGHT POLE. A CAR THAT IS LIGHTLY BUMPED SHOULD NOT ROLL AWAY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE HAD A CHILD BEEN BEHIND THE CAR OR THE LIGHT POLE COULD HAVE CRASHED ONTO SOMETHING. I FEEL LIKE THEY FOUND SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND ARE COVERING UP FOR IT OTHERWISE IF THEY TRULY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION THEN WHY DID THEY REPLACE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

2017 ACCORD LX * AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION * 3000 MILES I HAVE NEW ACCORD LX AND THE I DROVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY, MY WIFE AND I NOTICED WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL. WE CHECKED THAT ALL THE WINDOW AND DOORS WERE FIRMLY SHUT, BUT IT PERSISTED. NOW WITH THE RADIO OFF I NOTICE IT EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE TO ABOVE 40 MPH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. THE STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT PROPERLY, CAUSING THE SEAT BELT TO STAY ACROSS THE PASSENGER'S NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAWOOD HONDA (LOCATED AT 2516 PINE GROVE AVE, PORT HURON, MI 48060) WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO KEEP THE SEAT BELT FROM RETRACTING IMPROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND WOULD TRANSFER THE COMPLAINT TO THE ENGINEERS. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

IN JAN OF THIS YEAR, I GOT A FLAT TIRE WHICH COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. IT WAS ON A WEEKEND AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. I WAS FORCED TO BUY A REPLACEMENT TIRE OF A DIFFERENT BRAND, BUT THE SAME SIZE ETC. BECAUSE I HAD TO TRAVEL TOO FAR BEFORE MONDAY AND THE SPARE WOULD NOT BE SAFE. IN APPROX. ONE MONTH MY TPMS LIGHT CAME ON AND I STOPPED TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE. THE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. I LATER WENT TO THE TIRE COMPANY FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE TIRE AND THEY SHOWED ME HOW TO RESET IT. AFTER ONLY 3 OR 4 MILES, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THE SERVICE MANAGER CORROBORATED WHAT THE TIRE COMPANY HAD TOLD ME AND THAT WAS THAT THE NEW SYSTEM ON HONDA CARS MEASURED, "ROTATIONS" AND NOT "ACTUAL TIRE PRESSURE." SO, THE OFF-BRAND I WAS FORCED TO BUY WAS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE HONDA SENSOR SYSTEM AND THAT IT WAS A "FLAW." THE TPMS MONITOR PROBLEM LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON EACH TIME I START THE CAR. I ASKED HIM HOW I COULD KNOW IF MY TIRES WERE REALLY LOW AND HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY CHECK THEM AND THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT! I TOOK MY CAR IN AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE TIRE SYSTEM. THE SERVICE PERSON SPOKE WITH ME ABOUT THE TIRE LIGHT AND SAID THAT I HAD PURCHASED A NON-HONDA RECOMMENDED TIRE AND IT WAS MY FAULT. I CALLED HONDA CORP AND AT FIRST THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL HOEHN HONDA TO WORK WITH ME FOR A FIX. BUT I RECEIVED NO CALL. LATER I SPOKE WITH A HONDA CORP LADY WHO SAID THAT HONDA DID NOT SELL THE CAR AND THAT THE DEALER WAS RESPONSIBLE! TWO VERSIONS OF THE SOLUTION. I CALLED ANOTHER DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS MY FAULT AND THAT THE CAR INFO RECOMMENDS THE DEALER BRAND AND THAT THEY BE BOUGHT IN PAIRS OF TWO ! REALLY? SO, I DON'T HAVE A BROKEN TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM THAT I PAID FOR AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I WILL NOT KNOW IF MY TIRES ARE FLAT. AND THE TBMS LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON! HELP
