“I went to pull my visor down and I heard a loud crack noise from the visor. The visor will not stay up anymore, just hangs about 2-3 from the ceiling of the car. Went to the dealer and they told me it's not covered under warranty even if it's only a year old.”
NHTSA complaint #10644583, filed 2014-10, 38,420 miles“While using the adaptive cruise control (acc) I was traveling at 75 MPH. This system is suppose to reduce your speed when it sees another vehicle in front of you and then bring you back up to speed when the obstacle is no longer present. I was on a 4 lane limited access highway (2 lanes each direction). I was in the left lane. There were no cars in front of me but there was an 18 wheel truck about 150 feet in front of me in the right lane. We were approaching a left curve and on a slight incline to the curve. …”
NHTSA complaint #10649593, filed 2014-10, 11,000 miles“Since I bought my 2013 Honda Accord ex-l in january 2013, I have had issues with stereo system. At times, the stereo will not turn on or it will turn on but the display screen is blank. Other times, no disc appears on the display when I turn the car on. I don't listen to cds, therefore, I never changed the source to play a cd. I only listen to xm. The dealer stated they cannot do anything to fix unless I bring the car in while the issue is happening. The issue is intermittent and never happens while near a dealer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10534528, filed 2013-08, 200 miles“This car has push button start on and off. The engine can be cut off with car in any gear and it does not have to be in park. I left the car in drive on a hill and went to get out and the car was drifting forward. I bought this car for safety features and this is a great concern. Has collision ,lane change warnings and they are so low you can not hear them. I am 67 and my husband is 71 and this is not a safe car for our age group.called Honda and the warnings can not be cut up and there is nothing can be done about car drifting if you do not put in park. Very disappointed.”
NHTSA complaint #10496064, filed 2013-02, 224 miles“My new 2013 Accord has a serious safety issue with the user interface to the phone and music. The phone book, xm, and usb music are displayed in long lists. My 32 gb drive has 300 albums. My full collection has many more. The problem is that there is no fast way to scroll these lists. The driver must reach to the furthest-right knob and twist. This moves the list down one item. So selecting any list item while driving takes the driver's eyes off the road, causes bodily contortions (it is a long reach), and makes I impossible to actually scroll more than a few dozen places down the list.”
