    Vehicle was parked/stationary on semi-flat a school parking lot. When i looked back the vehicles moved. Seems the parking gear did not fully engaged. Regardless vehicle was not in neutral or drive and it still moved forward with no one on it, no keys inside and engine off. Vehicle hit another parked vehicle. Luckily no one got hurt. Seems that the transmission/cvt system may be at fault, but unknown at this time.

    My vehicle has missing structural adhesive on the front driver side suspension strut tower. It appears the robot that bonds the pieces of metal together with adhesive either had an air bubble in the line when this vehicle was made or there was some other defect. In addition, the transmission shifts extremely rough and nothing has been done by honda to correct the issue. I also had to have bubbles fixed in the paint…

    Paint chips and scratches easily. Clearcoat and paint started peeling. The slightest thing will scratch or chip the paint. Scratches on the hood and roof are pretty significantly ( really noticeably due to the car being black). Any little thing that touches the paint seems to damage it. The paint peeled off in multiple spots on the roof and the trunk. Now i can see the actual care metal. I bought this car (accord…
