Tl the contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the heat failed to work while the vehicle was being operated. Honda of new rochelle (25 e main st, new rochelle, NY 10801, (888) 905-3762) suggested that the contact "trick" the vehicle by putting on her seat belt and shifting into drive. The heat started to work; however, the vehicle shut off and the instrument panel illuminated. The vehicle would not restart and was towed back to the dealer. The dealer called back one month later and stated that they replaced the engine when the vehicle was purchased brand new. The contact researched and found out that there were reports that the engine was defective. The contact notified her state's attorney general's office and researched the lemon laws. The contact informed the dealer that she did not want the vehicle and informed both the dealer and manufacturer by letter that she wanted another vehicle. The dealer's general manager instructed the contact to remove the vehicle off the dealer's lot. The general manager threatened to have the vehicle placed by the road where it would get ticketed. The contact removed the plates and left the vehicle at the dealer. The contact filed a complaint with the attorney general's office. The failure mileage was 818.
I got my Honda Accord sport on November 30 2018 with 8 miles on the odometer. I noticed immediately that there was no heat in the car. I also noticed the temperature gauge in the dash was not reaching �engine temperature. I went back to the dealer Honda of new rochelle, complaining of no heat while idling. I was told to put the car in drive with my seatbelts and brakes on to trick it� that seemed to work. A week later it started to get to engine temperature while idling without tricking it. A week later while idling the vehicle shut off never to start again. The valves were damaged. Honda replaced the engine that only had 800 miles. Now they want to give me back the car when I know there is something inherently defective with the engine design.
