2017 Honda Accord

IN THE SPRING OR EARLY SUMMER OF 2019, AT ABOUT THE 24,000-MILE MARK (CAR HAS ABOUT 27,000 NOW) THE STOCK TIRES/WHEELS ON MY 2017 ACCORD SPORT BEGAN MAKING A RUBBING NOISE THE FREQUENCY OF WHICH INCREASES/DECREASES PROPORTIONAL TO VEHICLE SPEED. ONE DEALER ANALYZED THE SOUND...ROTATED THE WHEELS... AND COULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID, HOWEVER, TELL ME THAT HONDA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM, AND THAT IT'S NOT DANGEROUS, AND THAT, NO, THEY WOULD NOT SWAP OUT THE TIRES OR WHEELS. AT ANOTHER NEARBY DEALER (WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MID-MARCH 2017) THE SERVICE REP ASKED "ARE YOUR TIRES CONTINENTAL?" I ANSWERED AFFIRMATIVE, AND HE ECHOED WHAT THE FIRST DEALER TOLD ME. YEP, WE KNOW ALL ABOUT IT... IT'S NOT DANGEROUS... BUT WE WON'T HELP YOU. NEITHER DEALER WOULD REPLACE THE TIRES/WHEELS. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND LOTS OF WEBSITES WITH TONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY UPSET BY THE EXACT SAME THING--RUBBING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE WHEELS/TIRES OF THEIR 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT, AND GETTING NO RESOLUTION FROM HONDA OR THE DEALERS. I AM A LONG-TIME HONDA OWNER. CUSTOMERS DON'T GET MORE LOYAL THAN US. AND I'M SO PERPLEXED WHY HONDA WON'T DO THE RIGHT THING. WHAT CAN I DO?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SCRAPING SOUND COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH MOTORS HONDA MIAMI LOCATED AT (16165 S. DIXIE HWY, MIAMI, FL 33157, (305) 853-9795 ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW TIRE HOWEVER, THE ISSUE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I BOUGHT HONDA ACCORD SPORT. ALMOST EVERY MONTH I HAVE TO BUY A NEW TIRE. TIRE GOES FLAT AS HIT THE PATH HOLE EVEN IN SLOW MOTION. IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREAT SPECIALLY IN HIGHWAY AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IT'S HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITH ME ON HIGHWAY BUT LUCKY THERE WERE NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. ONCE IN BELT PARK WAY IN BROOKLYN, STATEN ISLAND HIGHWAY 278 AND FDR MANHATTAN, AND MANY TIMES IN STREET SPECIALLY IN RAINY DAY.

TOOK CAR TO HONDA DEALER DUE TO A GRINDING NOISE THAT'S HEARD COMING FROM MY WHEELS WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CAR, THE HONDA TECH CONFIRMED THAT IT'S THE CONTINENTAL TIRES/HONDA SPORT MODEL 19" WHEEL COMBO THAT'S THE ISSUE. THE BEAD ON THE FACTORY TIRES USED CREATES A RUBBING SOUND THAT SOUNDS LIKE BRAKES GRINDING ON THE ROTORS. THEY SAID THEY HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SINCE THIS MODEL CAME OUT. I FIND IT RIDICULOUS THAT I WAS TOLD THIS WAS OK AND A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. MY LEASE ENDS SOON AND I WAS PLANNING ON BUYING THE CAR BUT NOW PROBABLY NOT. I'VE BEEN A HONDA DRIVER FOR OVER 25 YEARS...MAY HAVE TO MOVE OVER TO TOYOTA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING UNEVENLY. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE TIRES, WHICH CONSTANTLY HAD TO BE REFILLED WITH AIR. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE DIRECTIONAL TIRES, WHICH WERE INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. RUSSELL HONDA (6100 LANDERS RD, NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR 72117, (501) 835-8996) INSPECTED THE TIRES AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE IN HOW THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED. THE DEALER PERFORMED A MULTI-POINT INSPECTION ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIRES AND STATED THAT THEY WERE FINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,546.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LOW SPEED, THE FRONT TIRES MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS IN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY STATED IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT DUE TO THE TIRES NOT BEING THE CORRECT VERSIONS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE ARE THE STOCK TIRES. HONDA SOLD ME A VEHICLE WITH THE INCORRECT TIRES? I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE CORRECT TIRES, AND NO TIRE WILL FIX THIS ISSUE. THE RIM AND SIZE SINCE IT IS SPECIAL 19 INCHES FOR THIS MODEL, ALL 2017 HONDA ACCORD SPORT HAVE THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND NO RESOLUTION TO FIX THIS. GRINDING NOISE IS LOUD ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DRIVE THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE TIRES MADE A RUBBING NOISE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TEAM HONDA (LOCATED AT 6363 SIEGEN LN, BATON ROUGE, LA 70809, 855-832-3530) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES WERE RUBBING AGAINST THE WHEEL WELL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WITH THE ACCORD SPORT MODELS WITH THE 19 INCH WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09019617. THE CASE WAS CLOSED DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER NOT PROVIDING A REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

THERE IS A LOUD RUBBING NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE FRONT WHEELS DURING A DRIVE AT LOW SPEEDS . ALSO I CAN FEEL THE GRINDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAN HEAR THE THUMPING NOISE WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY EVEN MORE SO NOW BECAUSE I'VE NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS WEBSITE. I HAVE 12,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAVE GONE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE EVERY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICE. A DEALER SAID THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BEADING OF THE TIRE. THEY SAY NO FIX THIS TIME AND REFUSE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEELS ARE 19 " FACTORY ORIGINAL , AND TIRES ARE FACTORY ORIGINAL CONTINENTAL CONTIPROCONTACT.

2017 HONDA ACCORD SE (SPECIAL EDITION) WITH CONTINENTAL P235/40R19 TIRES SUDDENLY WITH 22K MILES BEGAN TO MAKE WHAT SEEMS TO BE A METAL TO METAL NOISE AT LOW SPEEDS. DEALER STATED TIRE BEAD IS DEFECTIVE AND TENDS TO NOT SEAL WITH 19IN FACTORY RIMS. APPARENTLY LOWERING THE TIRE PRESSURE FROM 51PSI TO 40PS/I MAKES /PROBLEM OR NOISE GO AWAY. IN MY CASE THE NOISE RETURNED A WEEK AFTER DEALERSHIP (HONDA WORLD, WESTMINSTER, CA) ADDED TIRE BEAD SEALANT TO FRONT LEFT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE IN TORRANCE, CA ON 9/27/19 WHO REPORTED TIRES WERE NOT COVERED IN 36K WARRANTY. THIS COULD ALSO BE A WHEEL/RIM PROBLEM OR OTHER SUSPENSION PROBLEM. THE RIM AND TIRES APPARENTLY ARE TO HEAVY FOR CAR. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH THESE TIRES AND RIMS FROM FACTORY. IT IS RARE THAT A TIRE WILL PRODUCE A METAL ON METAL GRINDING NOISE. IT IS MY EXPECTATION THAT THE NTSB TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUS AS IT PRESENTS A SERIOUS ISSUE IF TIRE BLOWS UP OR TIRE BEAD DEFORMS. THE DEALER DECLINED TO FIX PROBLEMS AND BLAMED ISSUE ON TIRES. THEY SUGGESTED I PURCHASE ANOTHER TIRE. ONE TIRE COSTS APPROXIMATELY $250.00 DOLLARS. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING CONTINENTAL TIRE IN SOUTH CAROLINA TO ADDRESS ISSUE ALSO. FINALLY AS YOU MAY BE ALREADY AWARE THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2016-17 HONDA ACCORD OWNER. *TR
