“The windshield on my 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid touring cracked spontaneously while it was being backed out of a downtown parking space. It has fewer than 7,500 miles on it. I'm told there is a 4 to 8 month backorder for an oem replacement - the only kind that Honda will accept if I'm to maintain their warranty.”

“A loud humming noise comes out of the speaker and I believe I've identified as being the automatic noise canceling system. It's malfunctioning to the point that I have to open a window slightly to get it to turn off. I feel like it's at such a decibel that I'm having hearing loss from it.”

“2018 Honda Accord Hybrid touring purchased 9/25/20 with 44k miles. Within the 2 weeks I've owned this car I have already noticed two large issues. The first and most disheartening is the terribly reduced gas mileage compared to what it's rated for. I'm topping out in the low 30's when it's rated for 47mpg. The second issue is the loud humming noise while driving. A quick search online shows that many other owners also have both these issues.”

There is sometimes an audio warning (beep) often times it will just randomly shut down. I have experienced it no fewer than 8 times while driving since august. It has happened in both city driving and highway driving. It always occurs when the vehicle is in motion. Most instances have occurred when using my motorola g5 plus connected via usb and using android auto for directions, however, not every instance. …”

“I purchased a new 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid on june 30, 2018 from Honda of kirkland for my daughter. On monday, february 25, 2019, when she was driving back from class on a road at 35 MPH, the collision mitigation system brake warning flashed then braked immediately, stopping the car in traffic. No obstacles or cars were in front of her. Fortunately, the cars behind her were far enough away that they were able to stop. In addition, she tried to get out of the way of traffic by pressing the accelerator, but the car would not respond for several moments after the automatic braking occurred. …”
