THE CAR WENT ON FIRE; THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS COMPLETELY BURNT. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, IT STARTED SMOKING UP UNDER THE HOOD, I PULLED OVER, AND AS I OPENED THE HOOD IT WAS FLAMING. NOW I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR IT AS I AM STILL PAYING THE CAR NOTE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT EVEN HAPPENED. *TR

THE TRUNK LID WILL NOT STAY IN THE OPEN POSITION WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE. NO ISSUES WITH LID CLOSING HAVE OCCURRED WHILE PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND. BUT, WHEN PARKED ON A SLOPING DRIVEWAY, TRUNK LID WILL DROP TO THE CLOSED POSITION WITHOUT WARNING HITTING ANYONE ACCESSING ITEMS IN THE TRUNK. INCIDENTS OF THE TRUNK LID HITTING SOMEONE IN THE HEAD OR BACK HAVE OCCURRED. WHILE IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SO FAR, IF TRUNK LID WERE TO FALL THE ENTIRE DISTANCE AND HIT SOMEONE'S HANDS, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MAJOR INJURY.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid verdict →
