“My vehicles cruse control, lane departure, collision warning and lane assist completely stopped working after being parked (stationary) in my driveway, vehicle has always had problems with front suspension since new and become unstable with braking hard if another driver cut me off having to apply brakes or when applying brakes down hill.. Vehicle was taken to deal for front suspension but never fixed after multiple attempts under warranty.. …”
NHTSA complaint #11299381, filed 2020-01, 60,235 miles“Vehicle makes a mild to moderate noise from the front wheel when traveling at low speed. The noise can be characterized as something rubbing together. It should like metal on metal. I just purchased this vehicle two weeks ago. I took it to Honda. They claimed it was the rear pads and rotors. I still hear it and after a google search I noticed hundreds more people who bought 2016-17 models are affected with no fixes or acknowledge by Honda. I'm concerned about the safety. I don't know what else to do. Thank you”
NHTSA complaint #11343708, filed 2020-08, 48,100 miles“I was driving my car under 25 MPH on local road when the car suddenly accelerated and went off road causing sever damage to both wheels and undercarriage.”
NHTSA complaint #11024576, filed 2017-09, 2 miles“Lately, I decided not to drive my 2016 Honda Accord on the highway for safety precaution until the Honda dealership does something about my car. I don't have full control of steering wheel about 40 MPH. I took back four times, the dealership mechanic saw nothing wrong. I know it is steering issue. One would have to drive the car for a while to encounter the problem that am having with it. I will take it back after the holiday for a replacement. One way or another I will not keep on driving a car which represents a safety issue for me and others. …”
NHTSA complaint #10871460, filed 2016-05, 6,600 miles“Honda Accord v6 I have a 2011 and 2016 Accord v6...when the road is wet (rain or light snow) or significant wind, the cars are all over the road, when I have brought the cars back to the Honda dealership, they say the alignment is off, charge me for realignment, and say I am all set. 4 or more times back with cars I have bought new, and every time I am traveling over 65 MPH I feel I could crash at any time. The dealership acts like I am crazy. When I do net searches it seems all other owners have been silenced. Anyone else having this problem? I drive tons of miles and know cars pretty well”
