What 653 owners told NHTSA about the 2019 Honda Accord Plug In Hybrid

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT IN THE LEFT LANE ON I-95 AND ALL OF THE CAR SENSORS ALL STARTED FLASHING, ONE AT A TIME. SHORTLY AFTER, THE STEERING WHEEL STEERED TO THE RIGHT AND THE CAR LOST CONTROL UNTIL STOPPING IN A DITCH. I BELIEVE THE CAR COMPUTER MAY HAVE BLANKED OUT.

WHILE I WAS ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK, I WAITED FOR THE BROKEN YELLOW LINE TO PASS 2 CARS IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN I WAS MIDWAY THROUGH PASSING BOTH OF THEM, THE SECOND CAR IN LINE WANTED TO PASS THE CAR IN FRONT AS WELL BUT DID NOT LOOK TO SEE THAT I WAS ALREADY PASSING AND RIGHT BESIDE HIM, AND JERKED OVER AND HIT THE SIDE OF ME WHICH CAUSED ME THEN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL AND LAND IN A RAVINE. THE ENTIRE FRONT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IS COMING OFF AND I WAS JERKED AROUND IN THE CAR, BUT NO AIRBAG IN THE BACKSEATS NOR DRIVER SEAT CAME OUT, AND MY DAUGHTERS CAR SEAT WAS FLIPPED TOWARDS THE WINDOW SO THANK GOD SHE WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING HONDA AND GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF BUT EVERYTHING IS PERFECT THEY SAY. JUST YESTERDAY THE CAR HIT THE BREAK ON IT'S OWN WHEN THE CAR ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS CLEARLY ON THE OTHER LANE THE CAR MADE A HORRIBLE SUDDEN STOP THAT CAUSED BRUISING TO MY NECK AND ALSO MY PASSENGER GOT HURT WITH EVERYTHING THAT FLUNG FROM THE BACKSEAT HE SAID THE TUG WAS TOO MUCH . WE THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT ME . THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS DONE THIS I FEEL I GET CONSTANT TIRE POPS BECAUSE OF THIS CAR VEERS ME OFF INTO A LANE THAT ISN'T EVEN THERE. I HAVE WITNESSES THAT SAY I HAVE A LEMON CAR I ALWAYS SAY NO BUT THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME . ALSO THE CHARGER PORT NOT USB HAS NOT WORKED SINCE DAY ONE ANOTHER THING THEY SAID WAS WORKING AGAIN NOTHING . I WENT BACK AND THEY SAID I HAD NO WARRANTIES . I HAVE CALLED HONDA TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS AND GOING TO THE DEALER THEY SAID U SIGNED SO TAKE CARE OF IT . AT THIS POINT I AM IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE CASH AND I AM NOT EVEN 1% INTERSD IN KEEPING THIS CAR . IF I HAVE TO RETURN VOLUNTARILY I WILL HAVE TO . I HAVE BEEN PATIENT BUT IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT I WAS PUT INTO THIS VEHICLE BEING A SUPPOSEDLY UPGRADE ? FROM MY 2017 HONDA COUPE V6 . THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL ON LANE DEPARTURE , SENSORS , ELECTRICAL IT IS NOT A CAR I FEEL SAFE IN . I DO NOT TRUST TO LET IT DRIVE ON IT'S OWN AND FOR GOOD REASON . WHAT AM I PAYING FOR THEN ? I WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO A CAR BY NOW IF I TRUSTED IT . I HAVE PROOF OF THE THREE TIRES I HAVE HAD TO GET IN THE PAST THEEE MONTHS AND I DON'T DRIVE MUCH AT ALL 9K MILES IN A WHOLE YEAR . PICS ON BOTTOM SHOW HOW THE DAMAGE COMES FROM THE SIDES DUE TO THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT THEN MAKING SUDDEN TURNS THAT HIT CURBS . THE SENSORS SEEM TO BE GETTING WORSE INSTEAD OF BETTER .

07/06/20 WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE PLASTIC GAS PEDAL SNAPPING OFF AND BECOMING LODGED BEHIND THE BRAKE PEDAL PREVENTING ADEQUATE STOPPING THAT RESULTED IN ME REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. MAX SPEED REACHED ON THE FREEWAY BEFORE COLLISION WAS 65 MPH. TRYING TO BRAKE WAS NOT SMOOTH AND I HAD TO PRESS DOWN EXTREMELY HARD IN ORDER FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO RESPOND AND STILL ENDED UP COLLIDING WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THAN THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHEN PAYING ATTENTION TO SURROUNDING TRAFFIC, EVEN WITH A CAR LENGTH DISTANCE INFRONT OF ME AT THE START OF BREAKING. IT IS TYPICAL OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO ENGAGE WHEN "DETECTING" CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ANOTHER OBJECT OR VEHICLE BUT, ON MANY OCCASIONS THERE WAS NO ONE THERE; HOWEVER, IN THE CASE OF TODAYS ACCIDENT COLLISION MITIGATION WAS NOT RESPONSIVE. TIRE ROTATION PERFORMED AT HONDA ON 6/29/20 WITH REPORTS THAT BRAKE LINES, FLUIDS, AND PADS WERE UP TO PAR HOWEVER THIS IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT THE CASE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL THAT HAS NOT MADE ITS WAY TO CONSUMERS FOR THE FUEL PUMP IN THIS CAR THAT TOOK ME SO DIGGING TO FIND. INITIATED 5,28,2020 BUT, WILL NOT GO IN EFFECT UNTIL 7,22,2020. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE TODAY! SUCH A SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A LOW SPEED COLLISION PULLING OUT OF A CLINIC DRIVEWAY ONTO THE ROAD. THE COLLISION DEPLOYED TWO AIRBAGS ON IMPACT. MOST IMPORTANTLY, MY SEAT BELT FAILED.AFTER THE ACCIDENT I FOUND MY SEAT BELT UNBUCKLED AND LAYING OPEN. IF THIS HAD BEEN AT A HIGHER SPEED, I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

WE LEASED A HONDA ACCORD IN JULY, 2019. WE ARE A HONDA FAMILY. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT ON JANUARY 10 OF THIS YEAR, WE NOTICED SEVERAL UNUSUAL HAPPENINGS. THE TRUNK LID WOULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING AFTER BEING SECURELY LATCHED. IT ALSO WOULD BEGIN BRAKING UNNECESSARILY. THE UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE DRIVER DROVE INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF A LOCAL RETAIL STORE TRAVELING SLOWLY WHEN THE HONDA INEXPLICABLY ACCELERATED FORWARD VERY QUICKLY. IT JUMPED THE CURB, WENT OVER WIDE SIDEWALK, TRAVELED THROUGH A BRICK WALL ANCHORING A HUGE STORE WINDOW, AND THEN WENT CRASHED THROUGH THE HUGE WINDOW. THE HONDA FINALLY STOPPED AFTER IT HAD COMPLETELY ENTERED THE STORE. FORTUNATELY, NOBODY WAS INJURED. WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS. IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE HONDA. WE FELT THAT IT WAS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY HONDA IN HOPE OF PREVENTING A FUTURE TRAGEDY. WE FELT COMPELLED TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION ON THE NHSTA WEBSITE WHERE 54 COMPLAINTS WERE LISTED FOR THE 2019 HONDA ACCORD. *LN *DL

OUR BRAND NEW 2019 HONDA ACCORD, WITH ABOUT 1,000 MILES ON IT, WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION ON OCTOBER 13, 2019 AT 1:24 PM ON A CITY STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH. WE STRUCK A 2001 F250 AT 45 MPH IN THE SIDE AFTER THE INDIVIDUAL FAILED TO YIELD AND STOPPED SIDEWAYS DIRECTLY IN OUR LANE OF TRAFFIC. MY HONDA RECEIVED SERIOUS FRONT END DAMAGE AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS SMOKING, BUT NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG DEPLOYED DURING THIS ACCIDENT. THERE WERE THREE (3) ADULTS AND ONE (1) CHILD IN THE HONDA, THE CHILD AND TWO (2) ADULTS WERE SENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM VIA AMBULANCE. THERE WERE NO MAJOR INJURIES OTHER THAN SEVERE BRUISING AND SOME PULLED MUSCLES WHICH WERE CAUSED BY THE SEAT BELTS. THE FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT DURING A HEAD ON COLLISION OF THIS PROPORTION IS VERY DISTURBING AND AS A RESULT WE HAVE LOST COMPLETE FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN HONDA'S SAFETY FEATURES. WE ARE VERY THANKFUL THAT THE SEAT BELTS PREVENTED US FROM SLAMMING OUR HEADS INTO THE DASH AND WINDSHIELD, ESPECIALLY SINCE OUR AIR BAGS FAILED US.
