I was driving on the highway at about 65 miles/hour when I began to hear a hissing sound coming from the left most air vent. Within seconds, a strong electrical or burning rubber smell began to fill the cabin. The hissing sound eventually subsided. Shortly thereafter, white smoke began to come through the air vents. The smoke lasted for about 45-60 seconds. First thing the next morning, I took the vehicle to my local Honda dealer to have the issue fixed under warranty. They had the vehicle for 4 working days but could not find anything wrong with it, and instructed me to bring the vehicle back to them if it happens again. They did say that the car had a code for a "fault in the blower motor circuit", but said that that was probably nothing to worry about. As of March 4th 2021, this issue has not reappeared since the initial occurrence.
2018 Honda Accord hybrid touring - loud humming noise while cruising at 52mph. Read google and you'll find many others have similar issues but no known resolve. Have been repeatedly able to reproduce and it can be obnoxious at times but of course Honda denies any knowledge of the issue and claims they are unable to reproduce.
Very loud roaring noise when driving about 52-54mph (and intermittently at other speeds). This not engine noise, but seems to a glitch in the automatic noise cancelling system that causes a feedback loop resulting in an alarming roaring sound that can cause driver to panic or otherwise be distracted from driving safely.
A loud droning noise occurs randomly. Noticeable not only by driver but front and rear passengers. This has been brought to the dealers attention since purchase. They say they cannot replicate the noise. Originally happened between 40 and 50 mph but now occurs at various speed.

When starting my car, I am receiving several warning even after taking my car to the dealer. All issues were cleared but now only 4 days later, the same warnings from the safety system is showing.
This is a complaint for a unique occurrence of this problem on this date. In some instances, it seems that the ventilation system is potentially pulling noxious fumes in from the engine bay and in others, there seems to be an issue with moisture retention when ac is run. The vehicle seems to force foul smelling air in to the cab. Honda has failed to properly troubleshoot the issue (I.e. retain the vehicle for more than a few hours and try to understand if there is an issue with the ventilation system or something else).

The infotainment unit in the 2018 Honda Accord early on exhibited a number of issues, one of them being, poor connectivity via bluetooth. In this instance, the vehicle was showing the battery status of the connected device and claimed that there is one connected, but, at the same time, was indicated that no device is connected. See the attached picture.
A few months after buying the 2018 Accord, Honda had to put a software update, which they claimed was going to address and issue with the back-up camera (which always seemed to work fine, at least on my car). Shortly after the update, the infotainment unit had started to randomly (and rather frequently) reset itself every few day. Honda (after some trips to the dealer and several attempts to reach out to the Honda of America hq) had failed to acknowledge the issue and, eventually, begrudgingly had admitted to the problem; however, they had failed to produce a fix for months. My vehicle still does not have a fix applied and keeps having resets. I have spoken with a 2018 Honda Odyssey (which uses the same system), who finally gave up and got rid of the vehicle due to the number of recalls (and, to some extent, very poor handling of the issues by Honda dealer(s) and Honda), but they had to have their unit physically replaced. Supposedly, there now a recall, but you have to take the vehicle to the dealer (surprise, not). As it stands, Honda may have used a piece of hw which has a built-in failure (this could be more insidious than just a sw fix) and is refusing to address it in hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Why can't this be done via a 'simple' sw update the way 21st century car-makers do" or is Honda simply hiding an inevitable failure via sw update" on the noted date, this was yet another reset of the unit. The vehicle now has about 27,500 miles, but has exhibited this behavior for thousands of miles/over a year.
The infotainment unit in the 2018 Honda Accord early on exhibited a number of issues, one of them being, poor connectivity via bluetooth. In this instance, while the device was disconnected intentionally, the infotainment unit failed to retain the device's information and failed to reconnect upon a manually-initiated request from the device later.
