2017 Honda Accord Hybrid

On [XXX] just got off [XXX] driving on [XXX] street when there a red came on on my dashboard, then as if someone else stepped on my accelarator. The Honda Accord 2017 hybrid started accelerating. There were cars in front of me, I believed next to me that I am going to crash into. My only option was to turn to the left to stop the car from me hitting another driver. I went into the divider and hit a tree which stopped the car. My car is in the body shop right now pending estimate and insurance recommendation. R&B Body shop 562 903 1100. Allstate claim # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This is a dangerous problem and I expect Honda to have a major recall some day, unfortunately not today. Symptoms were two things, 1) ACC when on would not slow down with another car in front, it just kept accelerating into the car until I put on the brakes. Crazy dangerous. 2) The collision warning light would come on and beep loudly when there was no possibility of collision. Required replacing the radar unit, $5000 at the dealer. Dealer tech said that this unit is connected to every control system, brakes, steering, etc. Very dangerous to drive without a correctly functioning radar. If I could, I would just turn those features off, but there is no way to do that. Besides, I like those features. Car is 5 years old; my last payment is in August!

As I was driving straight about 40 Mph, the steering assist failure warning, lane assist failure warning, and power steering failure warnings all came on at the same time. Had I been going around a curve or turning I would've crashed, because the steering locked up and it was extremely difficult to steer. The failures and electronic warnings cleared as I was driving the car to the dealer the following morning.

The car shows ACC, LKAS, CMBS warning lights coming up. There is an error about brake system that shows up on the dashboard. A lot of other Honda customers have reported the same issue on this forum https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/collision-mitigation-braking-system-problem-warning-light-see-your-dealer.502402/ Please check the forum for details and the risk to drivers.

THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING AS A SLOW SPEED (FORTUNATELY) I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND ALL THE DASH FAULTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKED FAILED TO WORK. I HAD TO USE THE E-BRAKE TO STOP. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, BACK ON, THE FAULTS CLEARED AND THE BRAKES WORK. THIS COULD BECOME A DEADLY CRASH IF IT OCCURS AT HIGH SPEED AND THE NEED TO STOP ABRUPTLY HAPPENS.

ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED ON THE VEHICLE, NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE FIRST DOOR LOCK - REAR PASSENGER - FAILED IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR. IT WAS REPLACED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. THE DOOR LOCK FAILED AGAIN ABOUT A YEAR LATER. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK AND REAR DRIVER DOOR LOCK FAILED THEREAFTER. ALL THREE HAVE BEEN REPLACED. NOW DRIVER DOOR LOCK HAS FAILED NECESSITATING A REPLACEMENT. ADDITIONALLY, TRUNK LOCK HAS FAILED WHICH NEEDED TO ALSO BE REPLACED.
