I hit a pot hole that caused a blow out and sent me flipping down an embankment and landed in a field upside down.
Check.
This complaint details severe manufacturing defects, hazardous third-party wheel modifications, and an explicit failure to execute critical safety recalls on my 2019 Honda Accord 2. 0t sport (actual odometer: ~30,00original miles). Seat belt assembly failure: the passenger-side seatbelt assembly randomly unlatches and completely disconnects while the vehicle is in motion on public roads without user input, leaving passengers entirely unprotected. The dealership completely omitted and ignored this life-safety issue when presented. Structural wheel compromise & loss of control: dealership-provided third-party wheels were reinstalled with a total failure to mask off or mill down critical mating surfaces. This left an uneven layer of powder coating directly between the rims, hubs, and lug seats, causing severe tolerance variances, rotational runout, chassis vibration, and severe tire cupping. Furthermore, high-temperature thermal baking has structurally degraded the cast aluminum alloy wheel centers under load. Safety system blackout (the ditch incident): because the un-milled wheel faces left the chassis unstable and fighting steering inputs, the vehicle failed to stabilize during a minor defensive steering maneuver to miss a deer. The car entered a ditch and impacted a signpost with the driver-side mirror. This impact has permanently illuminated central dashboard warning lights and completely blacked out the vehicle's entire advanced driver-assist safety systems (Honda sensing), rendering it illegal and unsafe to operate. Unresolved manufacturer recalls: the dealership has neglected to process and execute two critical safety recalls active on this vehicle: fuel pump recall 21-027 (which can cause engine stall while driving) and bcm software update 20-039. Dealership's refusal to coordinate safe, independent transport to clear these critical factory safety faults while holding the car under a predatory billing dispute places the owner and public at severe risk.
The wheels on the Honda Accord stick out further than the tires thus get scuffed up easily. I had them repaired once shortly after purchasing the car but it was pointless. I believe everyone who has driven the car has damaged the wheels further by accidentally hitting a curb.
For wheels tpms system warning keeps turning on stating I have low tire pressure. I would check tire pressure and it is normal 33-34psi which is the recommended tire pressure by Honda. I would recalibrate the tpms and it would turn back on after driving 20 miles. I do this daily and Honda dealers claim there is no issue. When I turn on a curving road if there are cars parked on the street the emergency brake system would turn on and start braking.
The seatbelt and airbag collision sensor stopped working. The air pressure monitoring system sensor stopped working. The brake sensor suddenly goes off when no vehicle or person is in the way.
I was driving down fairforest road in spartanburg. I tried to swiftly drive around a small pothole and once I did I hit an even bigger hole that should have been the edge of the road but was missing. It blew my two right tires and also bent the actual metal part of my wheel. The receipt pictured was to replace my rubber part (two tires) and the towing expense. I'll have to get the metal part replaced or repaired. I don't have a quote for the repair but to replace it completely will cost $500 more dollars.
The oem hankook tires are unsafe at any speed. The tires routinely hydroplane on wet pavement with speeds as slow as 45 mph. This is a monthly occurrence. The rear tires lose grip during lane changes at highway speeds on dry pavement. The tire design is unsafe.
