TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FAILED TO ILLUMINATE 'OFF'. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE DASHBOARD VIBRATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE DRIVING; HOWEVER, THE VIBRATION STOPPED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE FOR THE VIBRATION FAILURE AT HONDA WINDWARD (45-671 KAMEHAMEHA HWY, KANEOHE, HI 96744, (808) 247-8544). THE DEALER STATED THAT A NEW AIR CONDITIONING BELT WAS TAPED ONTO THE UNIT. THE BELT WAS COVERED WITH FOAM TO KEEP IT ATTACHED TO THE UNIT. AS THE BELT PRESSED AGAINST THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT IT MADE A NOISE AND, COUPLED WITH AN UNKNOWN OBJECT UNDER THE DASHBOARD, CAUSED A VIBRATION. THE AIR BAG FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. NEITHER THE AIR BAG OR VIBRATION FAILURE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,090. *TT

AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED, THE FRONT HOOD VIBRATES SIGNIFICANTLY. NOT ONLY IS THIS ANNOYING BUT IT IS ALSO FRIGHTENING. I THOUGHT THAT HOOD WAS ABOUT TO FLY OFF THE VEHICLE WHEN I WAS TRAVELING OUT OF STATE. I EVEN CONTACTED HONDA DEALERS WHERE I WAS TO SEE IF I COULD GET SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THIS ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TOOK BACK TO MY DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY REARRANGED A SEAL BUT ALSO THAT IS WHAT 2018 HONDA ACCORDS DO...THEY VIBRATE. BASICALLY, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE REMAINS.

BRAKES ARE VERY TOUCHY AND WHEN BRAKING PEDAL SOMETIMES GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. CAR DOES NOT STOP SMOOTHLY AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE DIFFERENT STAGES WHEN BREAKING. IT ALSO JERKS WHEN WHEN LIGHTLY TOUCHING BREAK WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD.
