2017 Honda Accord

SMELLS LIKE FISH WHEN TURNING ON THE HEAT & A/C. THE TIRES ARE DRY ROTTED. THIS CAR IS NOT BRAND NEW AND MUST HAVE COME FROM AN AREA WHERE THERE WAS FLOODING. LITHIA HONDA IN MEDFORD OREGON SELLING CARS THAT ARE REALLY TOTALED OUT CARS FROM FLOODS OR HURRICANE PRONE AREAS. THIS IS A DANGER, AS DRY ROT BLOW OUT TIRES MAY CAUSE SERIES ACCIDENTS. OUT POLICE OFFICERS ARE ALSO DRIVING ON THESE TIRES! DRY ROT TIRES.

THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) STRIP IS OUT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AFTER ONLY 9 MONTHS. I HAVE READ ABOUT 8 OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SPOKEN WITH OTHER ACCORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS ABSURDLY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE CONSIDERING IT IS ALL ONE ASSEMBLY. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DRL IN THAT SHORT OF A TIME, A COMPONENT THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO SAFETY, IS A SIGN OF POOR CRAFTING/MANUFACTURING.

I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE THIS STRANGE ENGINE START ISSUE RECENTLY (WITH SHORT CIRCUIT SOUNDS). DEALERSHIP SERVICE DONE IN JULY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OR MY IGNITION SWITCH. DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE A CRITICAL ISSUE ' IT IS NOW LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROADS. I DON'T SEE ANY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE EITHER. I'M GLAD I NOTICED DURING SUMMER AS OTHERWISE COULD BE LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. I HAVE DESCRIBE THE EVENTS IN DETAILS IN THE ATTACHED PDF.

LOUD CLICKING NOISE POSSIBLY IN LOCKING SYSTEM. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN IT DOES START THE NOISE, IT IS CONTINUOUS FOR SEVERAL MILES. IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I PARK AND LOCK THE DOORS FROM OUTSIDE AND THE LOCKS CONTINUE TO CLICK UNTIL I COME BACK TO THE CAR AND RE LOCK THE DOORS. IT WILL ALSO MAKE THE NOISE WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR AND I HAVE NOT STARTED THE CAR YET. SOMETIMES I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST STARTS THE CLICKING NOISE. ALSO THE ALARM HAS GONE OFF BY ITSELF WHILE PARKED AND I DIDN'T EVEN SET THE ALARM. THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ON DEC 21, 2017.

LED DRL PREMATURE FAILURE: I WRITE CONCERNING PREMATURE DRL LED FAILURE IN THE LED HEADLIGHTS OF MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING V6. THE LED DRL FAILED LESS THAN 18 MONTHS AND 22K MILES INTO BRAND-NEW OWNERSHIP. THE UNIT'S DESIGN IS SUCH THAT, SHOULD IT FAIL, COMPLETE AND COSTLY REPLACEMENT OF THE UNIT IS NECESSARY: $1500+. WHILE THE ITEM IS COVERED UNDER THE NEW CAR WARRANTY, SUBSEQUENT FAILURES OF THIS SUPPOSED SAFETY ITEM WOULD NOT BE COVERED, SHOULD ADDITIONAL PREMATURE FAILURE OCCUR, WHICH IS A MOST INCONVENIENT AND HAZARDOUS REALIZATION.

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS BELOW 35MPH, THERE IS A SCRAPING NOISE. I HAVE HAD IT TO TWO HONDA DEALERS AND THEY BOTH SAY IT IS THE TIRE BEAD MAKING A SCRAPING NOISE. THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL FOR A 2017 ACCORD WITH THE SPORT PACKAGE THAT HAS THE 19" FACTORY WHEELS TO MAKE THIS NOISE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 15,000 MILES AND CORPORATE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, A FIRE STARTED IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE POLICE IMPOUND LOT AND THEN RELEASED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER (ATLANTIC HONDA, LOCATED AT 1391 SUNRISE HWY, BAY SHORE, NY 11706, (631) 665-0005), THE MANUFACTURER, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DECLINED TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO CONCLUSIVE DETERMINATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

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. AFTER HEARING THE NOISE, THEY KEPT THE CAR TO FIX THE ISSUE AND WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR THE NOISE WAS BACK AGAIN. SINCE THEY COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE, THEY LABELED IT AS "NORMAL" AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE DESPITE SHOWING IT TO THEM AFTER MULTIPLE VISIT. I OPENED A CASE WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY COULD NOT GET YONKERS HONDA TO FIX THE ISSUE OR GET THE MANAGER TO CALL ME TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. INSTEAD, AMH ADVISED ME TO TRY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID, "NEW ROCHELLE HONDA" HOWEVER THEY WERE NO HELP WHATSOEVER. THEY DID NOT EVEN WANT TO WORK ON THE CAR DESPITE THEIR MECHANIC HEARING THE NOISE. THE DIRECTOR INFORMED THE MANAGER THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND FED HONDA LIES ABOUT DIRECTOR EVER CONTACTING ME OR TEST DRIVING WITH ME. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN, AND THEY DID NOT HELP ME INSTEAD TOLD ME TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I AM ON MY THIRD DEALERSHIP, WORKING WITH BRONX HONDA ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE SINCE JUNE 4TH, 2018 AND STILL NO FIX...NOW I AM EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION LAG, BRAKE ROTORS ISSUES, WHEEL VIBRATION, VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING FROM HIGH SPEED EVEN THOUGH BRONX HONDA RESURFACED THE BRAKE ROTORS INSTEAD OF REPLACING THEM WITH NEW ONE.
