STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Purchased new in Feb 2024. On June 26, 2024, at 1,207 miles all safety features became inoperable while driving and all failure lights on dash ignited. I took the car to the dealer, and they said the ECM controlling the ADAS systems failed and needed to be replaced, this required replacement of the Rack and Pinion because they are integrated. I got the car back and immediately noted a difference in handling from the new car I purchased in February, particularly with the lane departure and lane keeping option; the car consistently drifts over the lane lines when the LKAS system is engaged, and sometimes realizes the car is leaving the lane and will automatically self-correct by a hard right or left into the adjacent lanes. I took it back to the dealer and the tech took it for a ride and came back saying the car was trying to kill him. He test drove five other Accords and had the same issue. The tech then said he has a new Honda CRX and his does not have this issue but all Accords he drove did. The car now has 1,500 miles on it and I refuse to drive it because I can't trust the safety features since the rack and pinion was replaced. The dealership submitted an incident report to Honda and we have not heard back from them yet. I have 4 other cars ranging from 1971-2013; I feel safe in them and will drive them until Honda can provide me the safe and reliable car I thought I purchased in February.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
At around 3,500 miles, I noticed that the driver's side mirror would vibrate at highway speeds. I took the car to the dealership today, but they were unable to reproduce the issue. They explained that they couldn't drive the vehicle on the highway due to safety concerns. Additionally, the vehicle hasn't been inspected by anyone other than the dealership, and there were no warning messages on the dashboard. At times, the mirror vibrates severely, making objects in the mirror appear blurry, which could pose a potential hazard.

Potential Consequences:
When I was driving, suddenly the check engine light came on and within minutes several alerts popped up " Power System Problem, Do not Drive" and "Emissions System Problem. Power may be reduced. See your Dealer". It also asked to stop at a safe place. I stopped in the parking lot. Restarting the car does not remove these messages. When I attempted to drive in the parking lot to move to another spot, it felt that the car's brakes are coming on and off, with bad smell. We stopped the car and called Honda Dealer, who asked us to tow the car. The car has only 490 miles! Prior to that the Car was unable to update the software and requested to call the Dealer. I did that and the Dealer gave a appointment for the weekend.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
On June 9, 2024, while I was driving on the highway, my new Accord flashed a series of warning messages on the right side of the driver information interface (instrument panel). The messages that flashed and scrolled through repeatedly are listed below: Electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available. See your dealer. Blind spot information system problem. See your dealer. Hill start assist problem. Vehicle may roll upon brake release. See your dealer. Transmission system problem. Performance may be reduced. See your dealer. Emission system problem. Power may be reduced. See your dealer. Additionally, near the fuel gauge a red BRAKE light flashed and an amber BRAKE SYSTEM stayed illuminated. This is upsetting because I've had my new Honda Accord just over one month and have fewer than 1500 miles on it. UPDATE: I took my new Honda Accord Touring to my dealer and they examined it and told me a solenoid needed replacement. They ordered the part which took several day and replaced it. The solenoid replacement did not fix the problem and the service manager said my car needed a new transmission (eCVT). I was shocked such a new car would require such a radical repair. After waiting two weeks, my transmission was replaced. However, I'm not confident in my car. I read on NHTSA that 2023 Accord Hybrid had a recall for eCVT transmission replacement. My Accord Hybrid Touring is a 2024 manufactured in 3/2024.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
On June 9, 2024, while I was driving on the highway, my new Accord flashed a series of warning messages on the right side of the driver information interface (instrument panel). The messages that flashed and scrolled through repeatedly are listed below: Electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available. See your dealer. Blind spot information system problem. See your dealer. Hill start assist problem. Vehicle may roll upon brake release. See your dealer. Transmission system problem. Performance may be reduced. See your dealer. Emission system problem. Power may be reduced. See your dealer. Additionally, near the fuel gauge a red BRAKE light flashed and an amber BRAKE SYSTEM stayed illuminated. This is upsetting because I've had my new Honda Accord just over one month and have fewer than 1500 miles on it. UPDATE: I took my new Honda Accord Touring to my dealer and they examined it and told me a solenoid needed replacement. They ordered the part which took several day and replaced it. The solenoid replacement did not fix the problem and the service manager said my car needed a new transmission (eCVT). I was shocked such a new car would require such a radical repair. After waiting two weeks, my transmission was replaced. However, I'm not confident in my car. I read on NHTSA that 2023 Accord Hybrid had a recall for eCVT transmission replacement.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I was driving on city roads when vehicle lost power going up a slight hill and I was forced to pull over to the side of the road. I received TDMS Failure first then multiple failures. Restarted and was able restart but received the following warnings: 1.Brake system failure, 2.Park brake failure, 3.Collision failure 4.Electric power steering failure, 5.TPMS failure, 6.Low speed braking failure, 7.road departure failure 8.Adaptive cruise control failure, 9.Hill start failure. Restarted again was able to drive the vehicle home but received the above warnings. Restarted again and received a brake system warning. After I got home, I restarted again and all the warnings cleared. This was a very serious error. If I was driving on the turnpike when power failed, my only recourse would be to try to pull over, if possible, stop the vehicle and restart. This would be a life-threatening situation. Checked tires front tires were 36# rear tires 33#. So, no tire issue to trigger the TDMS warning. The auto technician did some checks but did not see any codes. He also looked at the Honda forum for technicians and saw some of the same issues, but they didn’t provide a solution. I mentioned what I read in the Accord Forum about the Honda dealer this person went do couldn’t find codes but knew right away that it was the ICM ignition control module. The technician said someone drove it today and will drive it tomorrow. He will also call Honda Engineers in California for assistance. 6/11/2024 I was informed that the issue has been confirmed to be the ICM module, which is out of stock now. 6/27/24 I received a call from dealer service advisor that the rental was approved by Honda, but also the part was received and the car will be ready when I pick it up. Car was out of commission due to parts availability issues for 18 days.

I tried to turn on the car several times and by the 5th or 6th time that I press the power button, it finally turned on and I was able to drive out of the highway.
