2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Electrical system Problems

“On friday, april 27, 2018, while driving on a major highway and parkway on three occasions I had a system failure while driving and lost braking ability. I applied the brake pedal & the car didn't slow down. I used the handheld parking brake to stop. When the car was turned off & restarted systems all worked for a few minutes & then failed again. I drove off the highway to safety & parked. On saturday, april 28, 2018, I drove the car to Honda service center. Service advisor fenix did not believe me but they ended up giving me a loaner car. …”

“I purchased this car and noticed the drive and passenger LED light bars continue to burn out, even after warranty expires. When taken to the dealership, they will not honor replacements after warranty. Replacement costs are~1700.

I was not able to accelerate my car. …”

“My cruise control will start randomly blinking , while my radio screen freezes My wipers always streak my windshield, I’ve tried all brands, I think it’s the windshield”

“This is a dangerous problem and I expect Honda to have a major recall some day, unfortunately not today. Symptoms were two things, 1) ACC when on would not slow down with another car in front, it just kept accelerating into the car until I put on the brakes. Crazy dangerous. 2) The collision warning light would come on and beep loudly when there was no possibility of collision. Required replacing the radar unit, $5000 at the dealer. Dealer tech said that this unit is connected to every control system, brakes, steering, etc. Very dangerous to drive without a correctly functioning radar. …”
