“On numerous occasions, while driving at various speeds, my Honda Accord collision avoidance system will apply the brakes for no reason. There was nothing ahead of me that should cause this to happen. Luckily, this has not happened when someone was closely following me. This has happened at least 10 times since I bought the car new in 2017. It happens when driving straight on a highway.”
NHTSA complaint #11278852, filed 2019-11, 68,000 miles“We recently purchased a 2017 Honda Accord ex-l v6 at a dealership in duluth georgia. We traded a 2007 Honda Accord after having had an excellent experience with it. This nearly new vehicle is different from the 2007. It is mostly good but I discovered what I consider a safety issue. When the brake is applied, to reduce speed or come to a full stop, there is nearly a half second delay after lifting your foot from the brake pedal before the accelerator pedal becomes functional. …”
NHTSA complaint #11173605, filed 2019-02, 19,627 miles“I have started noticing engine acceleration lag, a tire/wheel noise from driver front/rear side. The noise was very noticeable since it felt like the tire/wheel was rubbing against each other somewhere. The noise can be heard driving at the speed of 15-30mph having the window roll down. June 4th, 2018 made a appointment with purchasing dealership yonkers Honda to have the car checked. However they could not duplicate the issue, so I test drove with mechanic and proved my case. …”
NHTSA complaint #11131848, filed 2018-09, 7,239 miles“I purchased my vehicle brand new april 2017. I am hearing a grinding, scratching noise coming from the front tires at low speeds (20 MPH). I have 24,000 miles on the car and have gone to my local Honda dealership to have every scheduled maintenance service. I'm not sure why my vehicle is having this loud grinding noise, especially when I have my windows down. The performance of my brakes are also not functioning properly because I can feel the grinding on the brake pedal and can hear the thumping noise when I am coming to a stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #11228554, filed 2019-06, 24,000 miles“After stopping at a red light, in the city of tucson, arizona, I turned right on a green light and heard a loud bang coming from the front of my car. I did not know what had happened. The car was not going very fast since I was turning from a dead stop. I coasted into the service station on the right side of my car in order to park the car. When I tried to apply the brakes nothing happened. Placed my right foot on the brake pedal twice and the brakes did not respond. I coasted into the back of a truck that was parked. …”
