2017 Honda Accord

BRAND NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT 2500 MILES. AIR STARTED BLOWING HOT. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT A ROCK HAS HIT MY CONDENSER CAUSING A LEAK AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DRIVE MOSTLY INTERSTATE AND I DO NOT SEE HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED SO SOON UNLESS I HIT A BOULDER OR SOMETHING. I HAVE A 09 ACCORD THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH

THE CAR TEMPTS TO SHAKE AND WHEN PUT ON DRIVE THE CAR WON'T MOVE FORWARD PASSING 20 MPH. WHEN THE CAR OS PLACED ON REVERSE THE CAR WON'T GO BACK AND EVEN THOUGH I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR IT STRUGGLES TO GO BACK. THIS HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR THREE TIMES ALREADY FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON JUNE 2017. THIS CAR STARTED FAILING WITHIN A MONTH.

I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE THRU A HONDA DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS 4 HOUR DRIVE FROM MY RESIDENCE. I'VE HAD TO GET VEHICLE JUMPSTARTED ON 4 OCCASIONS AND HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO GET IT INSPECTED UNDER WARRANTY TERMS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ONLY REPLACED BATTERY TWICE YET HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT PROBLEM. DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ALSO HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAS ALSO BEEN MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HONDA FINANCE CORPORATION CASE MANAGER BY THE NAME OF KIA WHO HAS BEEN GIVING ME RUNAROUND ALONG WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP, UNABLE TO SOLVE VEHICLE DEFECT/SAFETY ISSUE. THEY NOW SUGGEST I TAKE VEHICLE TO ORIGINAL HONDA DEALER OF PURCHASE WHICH IS A 4 HOUR DRIVE AND HAVE THEM REMOVE AFTER MARKET ALARM THEY INSTALLED WHICH MIGHT SUPPOSEDLY BE CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. HOWEVER, IT IS SPECULATION AND DRIVING LONG DISTANCE IS A HARDSHIP FOR ME AND VERY UNFAIR. I FEEL LIKE LOCAL HONDA DEALER SHOULD FIX PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE CAR SAFEY ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. YOUR ASSISTANCE AND GUIDANCE IS VERY APPRECIATED.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROBLEM. (TPMS PROBLEM) ON A NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID SEDAN! AS AT 07/08/17. TPM PROBLEM. I BOUGHT MY NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID FOR ITS RELIABILITY. IN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS. TWO MICHILIN TIRES HAVE BLOWN OUT. BOTH FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE. THE REAR ONE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS INITIALLY GIVING ME LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS. AFTER A WEEK OF TAKING IT TO THE DELEARSHIP I BOUGHT IT TO LOOK AT IT AND REPAIR, IT BLEW OUT UNEXPECTEDLY ON 07/06/17. I ALWAYS REPLACE THOSE TIRE WITH MY OWN MONEY. THE DELEARSHIP TOLD ME THE TIRES DON'T COME WITH WARRANTY! WHAT? NEW TIRES FROM MICHILIN? INCREDIBLY UNBELIEVABLE RIGHT. I HAVE PERSONALLY CONTACTED MICHILIN TODAY 07/08/17 AND THEY SAID THEY'LL GIVE ME A CALL. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 07/08/17. THEY SAID THEY HAD REPAIRED AND TEST DROVE IT. IN LESS THAN 5 MILES OF DRIVING AVERAGE OF 45MPH, THE SYSTEM READ. "TPM PRONLEM". TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING PROBLEM. WITH THE WARNING SIGN OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE INSCRIBED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WITH SO MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT AND UNPREDICTABILITY THAT I WRITE THIS LETTER. NOT KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT WITH MY NEW 2017 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROBLEM. NOT EVEN COUNTING THE DAMAGES CAUSED: EMOTIONAL PAIN WITH THE LOVE I DEVELOPED FOR MY VEHICLE, THE DISAPPOINTMENT, THE FINANCIAL COST-THE CAR IS ACTUALLY NOT EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE. ANY TIME THE TIRE BLOWS OUT, I NEED TO EMERGENTLY REPAIR IT WITH MY OWN OUT OF POCKET MONEY UNEXPECTEDLY. UNSAFENESS- THE FIRST MICHILIN TIRE BLEW OUT UNEXPECTEDLY AT NIGHT AFTER 10 PM AT A LOCATION IN CHICAGO I HAD NO IDEA WITH. I HAD TO DRIVE IT AND PARK IT IN DARKNESS AT A SHELL FILLING STATION WHERE IT COULD HAVE BEEN TOWED. I HAD TO TAKE THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION MORE THAN AN HOUR BACK TO HOME WHERE I LIVED. SO UNSAFE.

COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM FALSELY GOES OFF ON A REGULAR BASIS DUE TO OPPOSING TRAFFIC. SLAMS BRAKES TO FLOOR, OVERRIDING ACCELERATOR- HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TWICE AND ON A TWO WAY STRAIGHTAWAY WITH NO VEHICLE IN MY LANE. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 1 MONTH AND ALMOST BEEN IN 3 ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS FAULTY SYSTEM WHICH I AM NOW DEACTIVATING. I'VE DRIVEN VEHICLES WITH THESE BEFORE (FORD) AND IT NEVER WENT OFF LIKE THIS- THE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS.

SEAT SHOULDER BELT CONTINUOUSLY SLIIDES UPWARD TO A HORIZONTAL POSITION-- ACROSS NECK AND OVER TO RIGHT UNDERARM.THE BELT EDGE LAYS NEXT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK WHICH SEEMS POTENTIALLY FATAL IN A CRASH. I NEED TO PULL THE BELT BACK TO CENTER EVERY FEW MINUTES WHEN I AM DRIVING THIS CAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM IN OTHER CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE SEAT BELT WAS ADJUSTED IN ANY POSITION ON THE ANCHOR PLATE, THE SEAT BELT ENCOUNTERED THE CONTACT'S NECK. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, IT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LUTHER BROOKDALE HONDA (LOCATED ON 6800 BROOKLYN BLVD, BROOKLYN CENTER, MN 55429). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,440.

MY NEW ACCORD WITH A V6 ENGINE LIKES TO ENGINE BRAKE BY ITSELF. AS A RESULT IT WILL NOT COAST AND MAKES BRAKING UNPREDICTABLE AND VERY TIRING, ESPECIALLY WHEN DOING CITY DRIVING THAT INVOLVES STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS. WHEN IN MEDIUM TRAFFIC BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MPH YOU CAN FEEL IT DOWNSHIFTING EVERY TIME. WHEN COMING TO A CORNER AND MAKING THE RIGHT TURN CAR JERKS AS IT DOWNSHIFTS OR UPSHIFTS. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE ON 6/23/17 AND ON 6/26/17 AND THEY FELT WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING BOTH TIMES AND DISMISSED IT AS NORMAL. THE CASE MANAGER I COMPLAINED TO ALSO DISMISSED IT AS NORMAL WHILE TREATING MY CONCERN AS NOTHING BUT A TYPICAL COMPLAINT INCLUDING WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT MY NECK JERKED ONE TIME AS A RESULT OF THE ROUGH SHIFTING. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPANIES ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE FOR THE 9TH GENERATION ACCORD AND EVEN OLDER MODELS, ALL WITH THE V6 ENGINE. FOR REFERENCE I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON AN 05 ACCORD V6 ON WHICH THE SAME DEALER FELT THE ISSUE AND SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF BAD ENGINE MOUNTS. I HAD THOSE REPLACED AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN AGAIN THEY CALLED IT NORMAL OPERATION OF THE TRANSMISSION AT THIS POINT (REALLY?!!). WHEN THE ISSUE GOT WORSE I TOOK IT IN TO A LOCAL CERTIFIED SHOP IN VALPARAISO IN (OTHER TIMES WERE IN CHICAGO) AT 59,000 MILES AT THEY REPLACED IT WITH A BRAND NEW TRANS FROM HONDA. THE ISSUE NEVER WENT AWAY. MY MECHANIC WHO DROVE THE OLD CAR AND TEST DROVE THE NEW ONE CALLED THIS COMPLETELY ABNORMAL. THIS GUY HAS 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH VEHICLES RANGING FROM TOYOTA TO MERCEDES AND A WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO WILL VOUCH FOR HOW GOOD HE IS. I AM TAKING THE NEW ACCORD IN ONE MORE TIME TOMORROW (6/28/17) TO THE DEALER OF ORIGIN BUT I AM GUESSING THE SAME ANSWER WILL ARISE. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. THIS ENGINE BRAKING IS NOT NORMAL.
