| Jan 2021 | STEERING | THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE POWER STEERING WILL LACK RESPONSE AND THE CAR WILL DRIFT ONLY TO HAVE CONTROL REGAINED VIA A NOTCHY LIGHT JOLT OF THE WHEEL. ANOTHER WAY IN WHICH 2018-2020 ACCORD CONSUMERS HAVE DESCRIBED IT AS A NOTCH AND/OR FLAT SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEN ON SMOOTH STRAIGHT HIGHWAY ROADS. AS OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE NOTED, I TYPICALLY ENCOUNTER THIS ONLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT I DO EVEN NOTICE THIS WITHIN 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (LEITH HONDA ABERDEEN) TO WHICH THEY STATED "CUSTOMER CONCERN NOT DUPLICATED AT THIS TIME. NO SERVICE BULLETINS AT THIS TIME OR SERVICE NEWS ON THIS CONCERN". THE DEALERSHIP "PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TEST NO DTC CODES STEER ANGLE AT ZERO DEGREES". THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. GIVEN THAT I'VE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST 20 SUCH COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEB-SITE FROM 2018-2020 MODELS, I'M SURPRISED THAT NO SUCH BULLETIN OR RECALL IS DOCUMENTED TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THIS IS PRIMARILY A HIGHWAY ISSUE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH, BUT I EVEN FEEL THE NOTCHY STEERING ON SMOOTH SINGLE LANE COUNTRY ROADS THAT AT 40-50MPH. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR DRIFTS AND THE DRIVER FIGHTS TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. ESPECIALLY CONCERNING WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR SLICK CONDITIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO HIGH-SPEED SWERVING. | Crash: No Fire: No | 7,500 |
| Jan 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | THE FIRST WEEK I HAD THE CAR I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT IN NASHUA, NH AND WENT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. I PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF BUT INADVERTENTLY FORGOT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE PARKING SPACE WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH THE SLOPE GOING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO STAND UP TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL, KNOCKING ME OVER, CATCHING/TWISTING MY RIGHT LEG IN AND UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT AND THE DOOR (FRACTURING IT IN TWO PLACES REQUIRING ME TO BE WHEELCHAIR BOUND AND NON-WEIGHT BEARING FOR 8 WEEKS). AS I PULLED MY RIGHT LEG OUT, I WAS ON THE GROUND AND THE DRIVER-SIDE REAR TIRE RAN OVER MY LEFT LEG. FORTUNATELY A CURB AT THE END OF THE PARKING SPACE STOPPED THE CAR FROM ROLLING, BUT ALLOWED IT TO ROLL FAR ENOUGH FOR MY LEFT LEG TO NOT BE TRAPPED UNDER THE TIRE. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I MUST HAVE BEEN IN SHOCK AS I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND DROVE TO MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE ABOUT 10 MINUTES AWAY. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND MANY OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE A SAFETY MEASURE IN PLACE WHERE IF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS OPENED WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP SO IT WILL NOT RESULT IN THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE TO HAVE A SAFETY MECHANISM IN PLACE (LIKE NOT DEPLOYING AIRBAGS IF NO WEIGHT IN THE SEAT, OR TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME IF THEY ARE LEFT ON, ETC.) RESULTED IN THIS HAPPENING AND MY UNDERSTANDING FROM OTHER IS THIS COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD IMPLEMENT SIMILAR SAFETY MEASURES THAT OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE IN PLACE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE. | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 1 Medical attention | 30 |
| Dec 2020 | STRUCTURE | WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED, AND NOT RUNNING, TRUNK LID UNLATCHES, AND OPENS, RANDOMLY AND UNCOMMANDED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS (4-5), OCCASIONS WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 400 |
| Dec 2020 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | 2020 ACCORD 2.0T SPORT 10,600 MILES I WAS TRAVELING ACROSS THE STATE WITH PERIODS OF LIGHT AND HEAVY RAIN. ABOUT HALFWAY INTO MY ~280 MILE TRIP I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM THE LIGHT, MY CAR LOST POWER AND THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING, WITH NO OTHER WARNING MESSAGES. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED TO FIND NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WARNING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE LATE IN THE EVENING SO I CONTINUED TO THE DESTINATION. WITH APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES TO GO, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AROUND A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE AND WAS MET WITH PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, AS WELL AS MANY WARNING MESSAGES. TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR ENABLED ME TO DRIVE AGAIN, BUT THE WARNING MESSAGES REMAIN. BOTH TIMES THIS OCCURRED IT WAS RAINING. BOTH TIMES I LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MOVE TO A SAFE LOCATION. | Crash: No Fire: No | 10,600 |
| Dec 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I'VE NOTICED A VERY ANNOYING HUMMING SOUND WHILE DRIVING MY 2020 HONDA ACCORD SPORT 1.5T. IT WILL STOP WHEN APPROACHING A STOP OR WHEN OPENING THE FRONT WINDOWS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LOTS OF 2018-2020 HONDA OWNER'S ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND MENTIONED IT COULD BE THE ANC SYSTEM. | Crash: No Fire: No | 650 |
| Nov 2020 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | THE CAR RATTLES ON THE REAR WHERE THE EXHAUST END WHEN I TURN IT OFF. IT USED TO NOT DO THAT RATTLING BEFORE. THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN THE CAR IS COMING TO A STOP AND THEN CONTINUES WHEN IDLING. IT FEELS LIKE I AM SITTING AT A VIBRATING CHAIR. THE ENGINE WORKS VERY ROUGH WHEN IDLING. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2020 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | FROM OCT 10 TO OCT 14, I PARKED MY CAR AT OFF AIRPORT PARKING LOT FOR 5DAYS. WHEN I CAME BACK, MY CAR DIDN'T START. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. I GOT THE INSPECTION REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THE REASON WHY MY CAR DIDN'T START IS DUE TO BAD GAS. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION, WHERE I PUMPED MY GAS LAST TIME BEFORE I FLEW OUT OF ATL, TO CHECK WITH THEM. THEY PROVIDED ME A COPY OF THE SYSTEM STATUS REPORT OF 10/9/20 SHOWING THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES. SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT #3 CYLINDER IS FULL OF WATER; THEY SAID THEY COULD GET A FUEL SAMPLE ONCE I AUTHORIZED THEM TO WORK ON THE FUEL TANK REMOVAL AND CLEANING. ONCE THEY PROCEEDED, THEY STATED THEY FOCUSED ON CLEANING THE SPARK PLUGS AND PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE WHICH LED THEM TO FIND OUT THERE IS INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. SO THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD STOP UNTIL MY INSURANCE COMPANY CHECKS THE CAR. THEY SAID THEY TOOK MULTIPLE FUEL SAMPLES AND DID NOT SEE WATER BUT THERE WAS WATER FILLED IN THE ENGINE CYLINDERS. THEY HAVE ASKED ME IF THE CAR WAS IN A FLOOD, BUT THERE WAS NO MASSIVE RAIN OR STORM WHICH FLOODED THE AREA. THEY EMPHASIZED THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTABLE REPAIR AS IT IS NOT A PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH SOUNDED QUESTIONING. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OIL AND FUEL TANK, THEN THE ONLY WAY THAT WATER CAN GET INTO THE ENGINE IS MANUALLY POURING LOTS OF WATER THROUGH AIR INTAKE, WHICH ALSO SOUNDS RIDICULOUS AS I HAVE NEVER TOUCHED IT NOR THERE WAS NO TRACE OF SOMEONE TRYING TO OPEN MY HOOD FROM INSIDE AND PUTTING WATER. AFTER I EXPLAINED TO THEM, THEY SAID THEY STILL CANNOT PROVIDE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY THERE IS WATER, BUT IT CANNOT BE WARRANTABLE REPAIR. IF THEY DO NOT KNOW THE CLEAR CAUSE OF THE ISSUES, HOW CAN THEY STRONGLY CONFIRM IT IS NOT DUE TO MANUFACTURER ISSUES? | Crash: No Fire: No | 15,525 |
| Sep 2020 | STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) | A MESSAGE CAME OVER THE DASHBOARD "TPMS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, SEE DEALERSHIP".

I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT LANE TOWARDS TRAFFIC AND I WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT AND HIT THE JERSEY BARRIER AND SPIN THE CAR AROUND. THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR HIT ME AND | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | 1,200 |

LUCKILY I LOOKED THE MIRROR AND SEEN A SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME HIT HIS BRAKES AND I HAD TO FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL BEFORE BEING REAR ENDED BU THE SEMI TRUCK. THIS COULD OF CAUSED MULTIPLE FATALITY IN MY CAR IF I DID NOT HIT THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THE CAR BRAKED FOR NO REASON.

| Aug 2020 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | "TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION SYSTEM" SEEMS TO RECOGNIZE HIGHWAY SHOULDER MILEAGE MARKERS AS A SPEED LIMIT BECAUSE THE SMALL SQUARE SIGNS HAVE BLACK LETTER ON WHITE BACKGROUND. [PENNSYLVANIA, UPPER MERION TOWNSHIP]. THE CAR'S OCR ALGORITHM PROCESSING IS FLAWED. SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR WORDS LIKE SPEED AND LIMIT IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE ERROR RATE. ALSO SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CAR'S AVG SPEEDS FOR THE PAST 5 MINUTES TO FILTER OUT FALSE SIGN RECONITION. REPORTS SPEED LIMIT OF 65MPH IN 35MPH ZONE. ONCE REPORTED SPEED LIMIT 120MPH. THE HIGH ERROR RATE CAN LEAD TO DRIVER CONFUSION AND/OR MISINTERPRETATION OF CURRENT SPEED LIMIT. WHILE IT IS A NICE FEATURE, ITS ACCURACY NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED.

| Feb 2020 | AIR BAGS | I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA ABOUT THIS (CASE10206483). THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE OFTEN NOT ACTIVATED WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION WITH AN ADULT SIGNIFICANTLY WEIGHING MORE THAN 65 LBS. SITTING ON THAT SEAT, WHILE ALL CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE OWNER'S GUIDE ARE MET. AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PROBLEM, MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN MY 82 LB. WIFE HAS SAT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR WOULD AT FIRST GO OUT, AS IT SHOULD. BUT AFTER WE DRIVE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, IT GOES ON AND STAYS ON FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP, INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE OFF, THUS PUTTING HER AT RISK. MY HONDA DEALER HAS VERIFIED RELATED PROBLEMS BY TAKING MY WIFE FOR DRIVES IN MY CAR. HE GOT THE SAME PROBLEMS IN ANOTHER 2020 ACCORD LX CVT. HE HAS ALSO HAD HIS PERSONNEL SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND GOT THE SAME PROBLEMS. HE HAS GIVEN UP. THE DEALER TESTED ALL RELEVANT PARTS. THEY WORKED PERFECTLY. BUT THEN HE TESTED THE WEIGHT-SENSOR WITH MY WIFE ON THE SEAT. THE READING WAS 50 LBS. FOR AN 82 LB. WOMAN. NOTE THAT I WEIGH 132 LBS. AND HAVE NO SUCH PROBLEMS. I WONDER HOW MANY ADULTS ARE DRIVING AROUND WHILE SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT NOT REALIZING THAT THEY ARE AT RISK BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS ARE OFF. THIS MIGHT ALSO APPLY TO OTHER MAKES AND MODELS. I SUGGESTED THAT SERIOUS CONSIDERATION BE GIVEN TO LOWERING THE WEIGHT-SENSOR READING THAT COMMANDS THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS TO BE TURNED ON, SO THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE ACTIVE FOR PASSENGERS WEIGHING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN 65 LBS., LIKE MY WIFE. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
