The hood on the 2018 Honda Accord vibrates at highway speeds (not a little, but significantly). Two separate body specialists tried to make adjustment which resulted in slightly better fit, but still, the hood vibrates (again, not a little, but an unsettling amount) at highway speeds. Honda already has a known issue with the Pilot model's hood: Https://Honda.oemdtc.com /711/hood-flutter-or-vibration-at-highway-speeds-2016-2019-Honda-Pilot-2017-2019-ridgeline and now, 2018+ owners are starting to complain about the hood stability at higher speeds as well. When I had initially raised the issue with american Honda, they ignored it (and, as they always do, told me to go to the dealer). Since then, Honda has done nothing to truly address the problem. An investigation (and a possible recall) should be initiated.

The seals around the doors, weather stripping is coming lose, seats are falling apart, the radio and navigation screen will go black and reboot itself. The collision control system will get you killed if you're not careful. I was getting onto the highway from a traffic light, had my turn signal on. As I'm merging onto the highway going about 50 mph, the car thinks I've fallen asleep or something. The car forcibly takes me back into the right lane and downshifts the car while braking? scared me to death. I was told it was because I didn't have a turn signal on. Luckily it was 3am or I could've been smashed. Also, the brake light will flash at times, no one is in front of you. Or it flashes like you're about to hit someone but doesn't do anything but flash. Also, if you drive any length, it system will state that the driver has low attention span. Not sure why, it's not like I'm weaving. I think the car needs to feel some movement of the steering or it thinks you're nodding off. The car salesman warned me that the new bells and whistles, technology, could have issues because the tech is new but nothing specific. Try to sell me 3800 in warranty to cover tech. Thought it was strange at the time. Now, I'm thinking that he knew specifics and didn't share.
Early on, after buying the 2018 Honda Accord it became obvious that the hood on the vehicle vibrates at highway speeds. Then unfortunately, the car had been hit by hail storm. The hood had to be replaced (at least, according to the shop that did the work). The replacement was purchased from a Honda dealer and pertained to be oem part. Right away it was obvious that the hood does not fit correctly (without any obvious way to adjust the fit). A second oem hood was ordered with the same lack of tolerances. Following the installation and re-painting of the hood, two separate body specialists tried to make adjustment which resulted in slightly better fit, but still, the hood (just as the original) vibrates (not a little, but an unsettling amount) at highway speeds.

I bought the car in February 2019, brand new. In July 2020 I noticed the paint peeling chipping. I contacted the dealer on 7/14/20, 7/29/20, 8/12/20. Was repeatedly blown off and was told they were contacting Honda of America. Honda claims that tree sap caused the paint to peel but the independent body shop I brought it to said that there would be other spots of tree sap and that the tree sap would be very difficult to remove from the car. They specifically stated that this is a bold faced lie. I filed a complaint with Honda of America and received a voicemail on 10/7/2020 stating that they were looking into it. I received another voicemail on 10/21/2020 stating that they were standing by the original Honda of America representative that the issue was caused by tree sap. The body shop, geist towing and recovery, stated that it is most likely a manufacturing defect and that since Honda is lying about the actual cause that they would recommend stripping the entire car and repainting. If they were honest only the sun facing surfaces may require repair.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that he was involved in two rear end collisions and on both occasions the auto brake activated however there was a piece on the center console that had become dislodged that trapped his foot on the accelerator pedal. As a result, the contact was unable to depress the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop due to his foot being trapped on the accelerator pedal. There were no injuries reported. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was able to be driven from the scene. The dealer Honda of downtown Chicago (1111 N clark St ste 2, Chicago, il 60610 (312) 766-1095) had the bumper, light and the onboard computer repaired both times. However, the issues recurred with the blind spot monitoring, the backup camera and the parking sensor on the onboard computer malfunctioning after the vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and all of those issues were fixed except the center console piece that keeps dislodging. The manufacturer said to take the vehicle back to the dealer to get the issue fixed. The console piece remains unfixed at this time. The failure mileage was 9,000.
Paint is chipping and peeling on hood, roof, doors and door handles. Car is parked in garage every night and in private parking space at work. Never under a tree or exposed to anything out of the ordinary.
Paint is peeling on the front bumper, trunk, hood, and door handles. Paint appears to be corroding on the door handle and rubs off even more when touched. The problem began with the door handles in 2019 and has now spreaded to other areas of the car. The vehicle was stationary, parked at my home when I noticed the issue. Both in 2019 and on today, 6/19/2020.
There are numerous factory paint defects including on the rear door, truck lid, and roof. The paint quality is very poor. I have brought the car to the dealer and have contacted Honda of North America, they are both unresponsive to my demands to make repairs. This should be covered under the 3-year bumper to bumper warranty.
The paint is coming off in spots and is showing rust. It's always been kept in the garage and cleaned regularly. The spots are on the back trunk, back bumper, sides by the back doors, by the wheel wells in front and back.
I was driving my car on 14 South my speed was 55 to 60 I hear lots sound and car was not in my control I feel my rear driver side wheel came out and I almost die rim was broke during drive
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.
The external paint of our vehicle is thin and fragile, it chips and scratches quite easily even if contacted by plastic such as a child seat or camera lense cover, never mind what an inconsiderate parking neighbor, shopping cart or road debris do to it. I have contacted the owner of the dealership; who offered to fix the paint, then revoked his offer. And american Honda motor co., Inc. Who opened a case and then closed it, ignoring my responses to their communications. Attached are copies of my communications.
The door weatherstrips were all coming off and have been replaced.. drover door has been replytwice and is still coming off dealer is not taking responsibility and is saying its my fault
My 2018 Honda is not driven often. It sits in my yard most of the time. I had it detailed a week ago only to find the paint was peeling on trunk, hood and roof. Horrified at this news I went to social media to see if this had been a problem with other Honda owners. On google I found an article that explained that the paint indeed was peeling. I followed the steps in the article. Took it to the Honda dealership where it was purchased. They of course except no responsibility nor would they read the article. Made them give me written documentation that they were excepting no responsibility. Tried for days to contact american Honda with absolutely no success. Now contacting you.
On August the 7 I washed my Honda Accord. I noticed that the clear coat is coming off. I made an appointment with the Honda dealership that I bought the car from. I took it on August the 8. they took pics of the car and told me they would contact there sales rep about this. I contacted them om Monday August the 12 about the matter. They contacted me back that evening and told me it was an environmental issue. Like rain stuff from the roads and tree sap that I need to contact my insurance company about this.I have only had the car 7 months. The car only has around 7600 hundred miles on it.
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 2018 2.0 T) in November 2018, and I started noticing all these issues couple months ago, but things got worse very quickly. Contacted dealer and the contacted Honda, but I received the expected answer that they can't do much as this form external environment. I used to have a C 300 black car that I used to park in the same place every day like my Honda and never had these issues.
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 on the trunk lid. The adaptive cruise control is nearly impossible to use because it does not detect vehicles ahead and accelerates rapidly or applies the brakes abruptly for no reason. American Honda was notified of the defect in the suspension strut tower adhesive but refused to send an engineer to look at the car. In my opinion, any missing structural adhesive used to join metal, especially on a highly dressed place such as the strut tower, could easily become a safety defect. I would prefer my vehicle be bought back from Honda as it appears to be a lemon.
Paint peeling & chipping - six months after I purchased my vehicle (Nov. 2018) the paint started chipping and peeling on the hood, top and trunk of the car. Every time the vehicle is washed, it gets worse, so I'm afraid to wash the vehicle. The spots are visible whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion. Bryan Honda and american Honda have been notified. Nothing was addressed until I reported it to diane wilson with eyewitness news troubleshooter on July 11, 2019. Now bryan Honda wants to communicate with me. I was told that the problem came from tree sap, bird droppings, and/or acid rain. Ridiculous! very disappointed with american Honda, bryan Honda and management. Will never but another Honda!
