2016 Honda Accord

WHEN DRIVING MY DAUGHTER'S CAR, I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND I HIT THE PUSH BUTTON STOP TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. AS I BEGAN TO EXIT THE CAR, IT STARTED TO ROLL. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO REPOSTION MY SELF TO PLACE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY. I REALIZE THAT I NEED TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. HOWEVER, THIS PUSH BUTTON TECHNOLOGY PRESENTS A SIGIFICANT HAZARD THAT SHOULD HAVE A BETTER SAFETY FEATURE. HOW ABOUT REQUIRING THAT THE EMERGENCY BREAK BE AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR? A FEATURE LIKE THIS COULD PREVENT NEEDLESS INJURIES AND DAMAGE. ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS PUSH BUTTON START/STOP TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT ADEQUATE SAFETY FEATUTES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CONSUMERS SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY WARNED!

MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY. HAVE TAKEN TO HONDA SEVERAL TIMES. EVERY TIME THEY THINK THEY FIX IT. IT COMES BACK ON. IT IS REALLY ANNOYING AND CLEARLY NOT WORKING. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO KEEP GOING TO HONDA FOR A PROBLEM THEY CAN NOT FIX. USUALLY TAKES 50 TO 100 MILES AFTER TAKING IT IN TO HONDA FOR LIGHT TO COME BACK ON [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HONDA QUALITY PROBLEMS. WE BOUGHT A 2016 HONDA ACCORD IN JANUARY. AFTER FEW MONTHS THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION ALL OF A SUDDEN AND COMES TO A LOW SPEED (0-5 MPH) WITHIN SECONDS. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES. FIRST TIME - THE DEALER SAID THAT HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR SECOND TIME - AS PER HONDA TECH, THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHIP IN THE COMPUTER IS THE PROBLEM. SO THEY SAID THAT THE SOFTWARE IN THE COMPUTER NEEDED UPGRADE (STRANGE.. IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR. AND WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ONLY ONE CAR. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE WITH OTHER CARS PRODUCED AT THE SAME TIME). THIRD TIME - AS PER HONDA TECH, THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATION KIT AS THEY THOUGHT THAT IS THE PROBLEM. FOURTH TIME - NOW THEY THINK THE WIRING IS THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THAT. EVERY TIME, I DROVE THAT CAR TRUSTING THEM, I RISKED MY LIFE. I AVOIDED ACCIDENT 8 TIMES ON FREEWAY FROM BEING REAR ENDED. I DROVE INTO THE CENTRAL DITCH ON THE FREEWAY AND INJURED MY SHOULDER. I AM ON MEDICATION FOR THE PAST 1+ MONTH. I AM WORRIED THAT I DRIVE THIS CAR AND AM GOING TO DIE.

THE REAR WINDOW IS DISTORTED WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH IT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S SUNNY OR RAINING OUT IT LOOKS ALL WAVY. IT ALSO DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHETHER THE WINDOW IS TINTED OR NOT. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND YOU CANNOT SEE OTHER VEHICLES CLEARLY WHILE LOOKING THROUGH YOUR REARVIEW MIRROR. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS SO I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING HUNDRED NEEDS TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT OCCURS IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

TMPS NOTIFIED ME THAT MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. I HAD TIRE PLUGGED AND I THOUGHT REPAIRED. THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO RESET THE TMPS SYSTEM . ONE MUST DRIVE AT SPEEDS 30 TO 60 MPH AT LEAST 30 MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM TO RECALIBRATE . I ONLY WAS DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES FOR NOT I'M LONG AMOUNT OF TIME SO I WAS UNAWARE THAT THERE ACTUALLY STILL WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY TIRE AND WAS DRIVING AROUND WITH EXTREMELY LOW TIRE PRESSURE . IF I HAD A MANUAL RESET BUTTON I WOULD BE AWARE RIGHT AWAY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ANY MANUAL RESET BUTTON SHOULD BE PUT ON THE VEHICLE.

STEERING WHEEL OCCLUDES THE SPEEDOMETER. ANALOG SPEEDOMETER IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD AND VERY LARGE. DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL YOU LOOSE AT LEAST 25 MPH RANGE (EITHER ON THE LOW OR HIGH END OF THE SPECTRUM). THERE IS NO DIGITAL READOUT WHICH WOULD BE A SIMPLE FIX TO THIS ISSUE AS THE LOW CENTER PART OF THE SPEEDOMETER "RING" IS ALWAYS VISIBLE. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS A BUILT IN ARCH THAT DOES NOT FIT EVER BODY. IT IS NOT ADJUSTABLE AND (DEPENDING ON HEIGHT) POKES YOU IN THE MID-LOW BACK AND DOESN'T LET THE UPPER BACK GET SUPPORT OR RELAX INTO THE SEAT. RESULT IS VERY TIGHT AND SPASMED BACK MUSCLES. THIS GETS WORSE OVER TIME.
