general problems of the 2020 Honda Accord - part 2

This is the third Accord I've owned, and none of them have been issue-free, but this one (2020) is the worst. I bought this car in March of 2021 with only 6 miles on it. Within a week it started to throw occasional notifications, which I called the dealership and asked about. They assured me that it was just a hiccup and to bring it in for a factory reset. They performed this reset, and the car appeared to be fine after that. But - less than two weeks later, it started showing the four lkas/cmbs lights and dash prompts - brake system problem, road departure mitigation system, collision mitigation braking system, and adaptive cruise control system 'problems', each saying 'see your dealer'. Made an appointment to bring it back in, and on my way to the dealership - having the car for only one month at this point - I was rear-ended by a pick-up truck at the red light turning onto the dealership street (he admitted he wasn't paying attention). Long story short, the car was repaired, Honda factory specs were (supposedly) restored, set and verified, and my car was returned to me. It was fine until about another month later, when it started to show the alerts again - more frequently than before. Contacted the dealer again, asked for troubleshooting assistance again, and they said they were booked. I took this time to look for this issue on-line, and found many incidents of other Accord owners experiencing these same issues plus several others (of which I also had a few - namely, the fuel delivery system frequently acting like it is running out of gas) - most saying no matter how long the service shop had their car, the issue did not get fixed. Not one. I could not afford to be without my car for an extended period of time, so I continued my research, seeing that none of the owners got resolution by the dealers, so I resolved to just 'live with the issues' as the actual car drove fine (except for the fuel issue). It happens every day.

Several times my car has slammed the brakes on its own when I have not touched the brakes and also when there is no car in front of me for it to detect the need to brake. The most recent time on 4/8 on the freeway.

I was driving yesterday Accordingly to the speed limit on a main city street. There were no cars in front of me at all when all of a sudden my car hit the breaks 3 times back to back out of nowhere causing my car to swerve! I felt completely out of control of my vehicle and I am so thankful I wasn't on the highway and that no one was near me! I first noticed issues with the breaking system, previously on 3 other occasions throughout my time of owning/leasing the vehicle. 3 other occasions before receiving an alert on the screen that read "the brake system has a problem. Avoid high speeds and sudden braking. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer immediately. " that was February 13, 2022. I called immediately to take my car in and was told I would have to pay out of pocket to have this issue addressed which seems outrageous to me since it is something that I have no control over. So without the ability to pay such a high fee for a vehicle that I thought would keep me safe, I took it to a local auto shop and had my brakes checked while I had my routine maintenance done. I was told everything was fine, which in my opinion indicates it is at fault of the manufacturers. . I don't want to die before something is done. There have been many claims about the same thing happening. I'm truly shocked there hasn't been a recall due to this issue.

While early driving in early December 2021 in my almost new car (7000+ miles) most all the lighted problems that could occur with an old vehicle lit up like a christmas tree on the dashboard. Most of the items may or may not have actually quit working but their problem lights stayed on. Still it is no fun driving without cruise when your wife has breast cancer and you have have to drive 3 hours each way to gainesville, florida for treatment. I assume all the warning lights functions still worked, but it is hard to tell if things like the brakes were pr were not working when driving as they seemed to work fine. So I soon afterwards took the car into the dealer on December 11, 2021 in leesburg, florida. But by this time all the dash lights remained off as they are supposed to. So all they did was change the oil and did non-compliance recall bmc software update 20-039 and bgcm software update. The reason I brought the car in was not specified on my invoice. However, the dealer did say that my transponder for the ez highway system was blocking the camera on the mirror. I believed them. Since then, however, today all the cash lights again said they were crashing again just before a 2-hour drive to the gainesville cancer hospital. Upon return the lights went back to normal. I don't believe Honda dealers know what the problem is or why it continues in many millions of similar Hondas. My research on the internet found at different complaints about said dashboard lights crashing causing similar problems. Most of these complaints had the dealers fix "the problem" and charging fees but again the customers reported do-over same problems.

While driving at highway speeds (50 -55mph), the anc (active noise control) unit delivers a loud booming sound through the speaker system. The sudden and unexpected booming noise startled the driver causing temporary loss of control of the vehicle. The solution has already been identified in a service bulletin from Honda as service bulletin 21-053. The anc unit has incorrect software and requires replacement to fix and eliminate the safety hazard. The issue was noted June 29th, 2021; but, has not been escalated as a safety recall. I have replaced the anc as directed by the service bulletin and it has resolved the problem; however, other Honda vehicles have this same safety issue and if not recalled will continue to be a safety concern for all drivers on our highway. I would like to see this escalated to a safety recall level and customers notified to replace. I am disappointed that Honda has not proactively recalled this.
