“Car shook every light came on lost brakes and burst into flames. I used emergency brake to stop vehicle. I was on ramp to expresseaylie on long island. Thankfully was right near shoulder and not going to fast other wise I wouldn't have been able to control car and may have hit another car tree or wall. Car was melted and fire dept came and put it out.”

“Car suddenly accelerates without foot being on accelerator. Braking does not stop the vehicle. This has happened 3 times in last two years with damage to front of vehicle times two. Past incident resulted only in some scratches. We checked with dealer for other reports and was told there had been none. All three times the brake had been applied because we were attempting to park the car”

“My 2016 Honda Accord sedan air conditioning stopped working. The car has about 58,000 miles.I live in southern florida and driving without air conditioning can be very stressful and harmful to seniors. I am over 60 with many co morbidities.”

“Both my accords daytime running lights burned out after 30,000 miles. It is apparently not fixable so to fix this would be a whole new headlight ? Every Accord I see on the road now has the drls burned out.. Really annoying and a safety hazard as almost all newer vehicles come standard with them and not burned out already.. And coincidentally around the time the warranty runs out. Very disappointing please recall asap. Thanks”
