On 12/29/22, while in our driveway and preparing to leave home, our forward-facing daughter alerted us to a functionality issue with her car seat straps. The child was able to pull herself all the way forward while strapped into her car seat. After tightening the straps several times, the issue persisted and she continued to be able to fully loosen the straps by simply leaning forward. This demonstrated the way she would have flown forward in the event of an accident, because the straps were not properly restraining her. The car seat was removed from the vehicle and brought inside the home for closer inspection. The locking mechanism in the base of the seat, which typically allows a parent to tighten the straps but then locks the straps in place to prevent loosening, had clearly been rendered nonfunctional. Despite visually appearing functional and safe, the mechanism was not functioning correctly. At that time, a flashlight was used to inspect the mechanism closer. A very small shard of mulch was the culprit. We suspect this mulch must have fallen from our child’s clothing, fallen through the designated strap’s hole in the car seat cover, insidiously jammed itself into the locking mechanism during a routine tightening, and rendered the lock nonfunctional. We believe this to be a significant safety issue that could feasibly repeat without redesign of the mechanism and/or cover of the seat. The mechanism should not be designed in such a way that external items (mulch, food, etc) can interfere. We reported this issue to Graco as well yesterday, 12/29/22. We also have a video of the carseat prior to the removal of the mulch shard demonstrating the nonfunctional mechanism.
2016 Honda Accord - sedan (48,000 miles) is pulling to the right. (Hands Free) at the count of 3, the vehicle is off the road (Scary!). Took to Honda dealer for service. Wheel alignment was done. Expensive Continental tires (2 years olds) were moved from front to the back. I returned to the dealer once I left the service center because it seemed even worse. The Advisor took it for a test drive and said it was because I was on a hill/slope. A few days later, I test drove the car with a friend who said for certain I have a problem. I have an appointment to go back to the Honda service center again. I do not know if this is a alignment problem? or bad tires? There is a Solution to every Problem. Find the Answer.
1. The steering system is malfunctioning. My steering is loose and choppy when returning to the center. It feels as if my tires are gliding/skating across the road. 2. I feel like I don't have control of my car. 3. The dealers claim nothing is wrong with my car. 4. Yes, it has been inspected by Honda East and Kings Performance Honda and both dealerships claim there is no issue. 5. The issue first appeared over a month ago and there were no warnings, sounds, or messages only a feeling through the steering wheel/column.
HELLO, GOOD MORNING, I WANT TO MAKE A COMPLAINT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME. WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR WAS THAT I BOUGHT IT AT A MAJOR WORLD DEALERSHIP IN LONG ISLAND CITY, WHICH THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR TOTAL LOSS REPORT, WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE A LIE AFTER A FEW MONTHS WITH THE CAR. I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAS TOTAL DAMAGE. HEY, IT EVEN HAS PART FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. I'VE TRIED TO GET HIM TO HELP ME, BUT HE SAYS IT DOESN'T HAVE TO DO WITH THE CAR ANYMORE. THEY ALSO CHARGED ME A GUARANTEE OF 3,000 DOLLARS AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO COVER WHAT THE VEHICLE HAS IN CONCLUSION; THE CAR HAS A DESTABILIZING REAR RUBBER, THE PART OF THE TRUNK ENTERS THE WATER, THE DOORS ON THE LEFT SIDE DO NOT BELONG TO THE SAME VIN NUMBER OF THE VEHICLE AND A NO NUMBER OF THING. PLEASE, I ASK YOU TO HELP ME SINCE I AM A YOUNG LATINO IMMIGRANT WHO WANTS TO GET AHEAD IN THE UNITED STATES. RIGHT NOW I AM USING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO WORK
METALLIC SCRAPING NOISE IN ALL FOUR WHEELS, MOST NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS, IN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS DUE TO CONTINENTAL TIRES, THAT CAME NEW WITH THE CAR. DEALER CLAIMS THIS CANNOT BE REPAIRED, AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE TIRES.
VEHICLE MAKES A MILD TO MODERATE NOISE FROM THE FRONT WHEEL WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED. THE NOISE CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS SOMETHING RUBBING TOGETHER. IT SHOULD LIKE METAL ON METAL. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TWO WEEKS AGO. I TOOK IT TO HONDA. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE REAR PADS AND ROTORS. I STILL HEAR IT AND AFTER A GOOGLE SEARCH I NOTICED HUNDREDS MORE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT 2016-17 MODELS ARE AFFECTED WITH NO FIXES OR ACKNOWLEDGE BY HONDA. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THANK YOU
A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL ON ACCELERATION. USUALLY CANT HEAR IT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT ANYWHERE FROM START TO 40 MPH IS VERY NOTICEABLE. WHEN CLOSE TO A BUILDING OR WHEN YOUR WINDOW IS DOWN, IT IS VERY CLEAR AND CONSTANT WHILE REVERSING OR SLOWLY IN MOTION.
THIS 2016 HONDA ACCORD TOURING OF MINE MAKES SCREECHING NOISE AT 20 MPH OR LOWER WHEN I TURN LEFT. I TOOK IT TO BROOKDALE HONDA AT BROOKLYN CENTER MN TODAY AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT NOTHING BUT COMING FROM ONE OF THE SEATS. THIS CAR GAVE ME PROBLEMS FROM BAD TIRES TO WHEELS TO STEERING WHEEL AND DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS NOW. US GOVERNMENT SHOULD FINE THESE COMPANIES HARD. THIS IS A $35 K CAR AND WE CONSUMERS ARE FACING THESE UNWANTED ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FROM HONDA WITHOUT ANY QUESTIONS. HONDA IS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES AND TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND LET THE OWNERS KNOW BEFORE WE KNOW IT. VERY FRUSTRATING...
HONDA ACCORD 2016 EPS SYSTEM LOCK POWER STERLING WHEEL DURING DRIVE. LUCKY, I CAN SLOW DOWN AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO AVOID ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE JUST 34600 MILES AND DAY PURCHASE JUST EXPIRED 30 DAYS. HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUED MORE THAN WARRANTY AND AVOID PEOPLE IN DANGER WITH THIS TYPE ISSUED IN FUTURE.
MY CAR MAKES A SCREECHING SOUNDS WHENEVER I TURN THE CAR TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR REPAIR. THE FIRST TIME THEY STATED IT WAS A PLATE BEHIND MY WHEEL, AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I TOOK THE CAR BACK THE SECOND WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS FROM THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD HONDA AND THE TIRE COMPANY WAS INVESTIGATING TO SEE WHO WAS AT FAULT. I AM STILL WAITING TO GET THIS ISSUE REPAIRED.
HONDA ACCORD SPORT BECAUSE OF ITS SAFETY AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT COULD HURT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I HOPE HONDA CAN DO DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT OR COMPENSATE ME FOR THOSE TWO INCIDENTS. ANYTHING HONDA CAN DO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I AM AWAITING YOUR REPONSE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE PULLED IN ONE DIRECTION WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GARDENA HONDA (15541 S WESTERN AVE, GARDENA, CA 90249, (310) 660-7289) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. HONDA ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SWAYBAR REPLACEMENT; HOWEVER, THE PART WOULD HAVE TO BE PURCHASED AFTERMARKET. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT HONDA ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT A TIRE ALIGNMENT AND A WHEEL BEARING WERE NEEDED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED TO DROP THE VEHICLE OFF AND GET A THIRD WHEEL ALIGNMENT PERFORMED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.
THE FIRESTONE AFFINITY TOURING TIRES ON MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD WOULD NOT GRIP ON A DUSTING OF SNOW AND ICE! (LESS THAN ONE INCH!) THE TIRES WOULD SPIN AND SLIP ON A SLIGHT INCLINE OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AT MY LOCAL DRUGSTORE! OTHER CARS WHERE PASSING ME BY WITH NO PROBLEM. WHEN COMING HOME AND SLOWLY TURNING INTO MY PARKING GARAGE, THE TIRES STARTED TO SLIP AND SKID! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR TIRE BRAND! THESE ARE LOW RESISTANCE TIRES WHICH GRIP WELL ON DRY PAVEMENT BUT DO NOT GRIP IN THE SNOW! I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS FROM PEOPLE THAT THIS BRAND OF TIRE GAVE THEM THE SAME PROBLEM. IN SHORT, THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FACTORY INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE UNLESS IT WAS TO BE SOLD IN A DRY CLIMATE REGION! I AM NOW PAYING FOR A CAR I CANNOT USE IN THE SNOW AND AM HAVING A HARD TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE! IT'S FUNNY THAT ALL THE HONDA ACCORDS I HAVE SEEN IN DEALERSHIPS AND ON THE STREET HAVE GOODYEAR OR MICHELIN TIRES ON THEM! NOT FIRESTONE!
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR UNDER 25 MPH ON LOCAL ROAD WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND WENT OFF ROAD CAUSING SEVER DAMAGE TO BOTH WHEELS AND UNDERCARRIAGE.
LATELY, I DECIDED NOT TO DRIVE MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD ON THE HIGHWAY FOR SAFETY PRECAUTION UNTIL THE HONDA DEALERSHIP DOES SOMETHING ABOUT MY CAR. I DON'T HAVE FULL CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL ABOUT 40 MPH. I TOOK BACK FOUR TIMES, THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC SAW NOTHING WRONG. I KNOW IT IS STEERING ISSUE. ONE WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR A WHILE TO ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM THAT AM HAVING WITH IT. I WILL TAKE IT BACK AFTER THE HOLIDAY FOR A REPLACEMENT. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER I WILL NOT KEEP ON DRIVING A CAR WHICH REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND OTHERS. THE PROBLEM IS FELT ON BOTH, THE CITY STREET AND THE HIGHWAY.
I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE FROM TEAM HONDA MILTON, ONTARIO, CANADA AND WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK THE TPMS ALERT GOT TRIGGERED. SINCE THEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND ALL THEY DID WAS CHANGED THE TIRE PRESSURE. THEY HAVE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THE FACT THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE DIDN'T CHANGE FROM MY FIRST VISIT. IT GOT TRIGGERED AGAIN LAST WEEK AND I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THEM. APPARENT IT SEEMS THAT THEY HAVE SOLD ME A NEW CAR WITH A DEFECTIVE TPMS SYSTEM AND NOW THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE TIRE PRESSURE LOOKS FINE ON VISUAL INSPECTION AND I AM ALSO TOLD THAT THE TIRE HAS NITROGEN IN IT. TPMS IS AN IMPORTANT FEATURE AS FAR AS ROAD SAFETY IS CONCERNED AND IF IT GIVES FAKE ALERTS EVERY 3/4 DAYS THEN IT BECOMES A REAL ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERN ABOUT MY SAFETY IN THIS CAR AND ALSO QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THE BUSINESS ATTITUDE OF THIS DEALERSHIP. I WOULD HIGHLY APPRECIATE IF I CAN GET ANY KIND OF GUIDANCE/HELP FROM YOUR SIDE.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
