In the past 2 years i have replaced the spark plugs and ignition coils twice! I have had to top off my oil without having oil leakage. I have replaced my battery twice, and now need to replace my alternator. Apparently, there is a correlation between the oil and electrical issues.. It must be getting past pistons somehow. This is an issue that manufacturer should have addressed!

I have a broken airbag sensor wire under my front passenger seat. The wire broke on it's own from simply moving the seat for my daughter to get in the back seat. Honda wants over $400 to replace this and claims the wire looks to have been cut. However i am the only owner of this vehicle & never cut this wire. I took the car tp another auto shop who gave me their opinion the wire simply broke thru normal use. I…

The check engine light is on and d light is blinking. Required the engine wiring harness and drivers under dash fuse box to be replaced. Honda says the car is not included in recall for this even though honda has a recall for potential failure…

Door lock actuators have stopped locking and unlocking the doors on three of the fours doors of the car. I have to manually lock and unlock the drivers door with the key in order to lock it. The two rear passenger doors do not unlock via the interior unlock button on the driver side and must be manually unlocked and locked by flipping the door lock itself on each door. This is ridiculous for a car that is only 7…

On february 10, 2017 the car horn sounded for approximately 10 minutes, and this repeated twice before 2 am. The car was in the driveway, and no one was near it. The key was on the table. The action was spontaneous. It stopped only when i unlocked the car door. When i started the car later in the morning at least four safety warnings appeared including "brakes" on the instrument panel. This behavior was confirmed by…

Within the last year when my car is first started it grinds when the key is turned. Like it is not being turned all the way or being held too long but it isn't. Does not happen after the first start and doesn't happen every time. Seems to be worse when it is cold.

Every time you press accelerator after a stop, the power door locks click and will keep locking/unlocking the doors while driving. This could be dangerous with kids in the car. Plus it is very annoying while driving. Just purchased this vehicle one day ago. I have read where many honda accord owners are experiencing the same problem.

Seat belt warning light came on. I took the car to herb chambers, seekonk, ma, and they said it was the safety harness that needed replacement. They said that they would have to order the part as there was a shortage of these parts available. It would take a couple of weeks to get the part. It has been approximately three months and i still have not heard from them.

All 4 of my lock actuators have gone out in about a 6 year period of time. They went out individually approximately a year apart. The problem started within the first 3 years of owning the car and should have been covered under the warranty. Honda did cover the first but refused to cover the other 4. I️ had asked to to have all of them replaced initially and was told no. Honda obviously bought a batch of bad…

Transmission jumps. Hesitates and stalls somewhat frequently, a lot more than to be expected of a car only 2 years old. More so at the lower gears when accelerating. Rpm is not consistent with throttle input. Unfortunately, it does not trigger the check engine light, so honda does not see an issue, but something is off with the drivable. *tr

But my mother is 90 pounds and frail. It took strong males (strangers in a…
