Body Problems of Honda Accord - part 1

While driving on the highway, the skid plate of my vehicle suddenly detached and crumpled underneath the car, creating a loud scraping noise as it dragged along the road. All maintenance and service for the vehicle have been performed at Honda of cleveland heights. I am concerned that this incident may be the result of a design failure or an oversight during recent maintenance.

Just like the 2018 Accord in still night pearl (addressed in TSB 21-087), the paint has peeled and failed on the roof line by the rear glass. Called Honda, they don't care to address any vehicles with this known paint defect any longer. Now we have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket to get it resolved or the steel will start to rust. Will never purchase a Honda ever again.

The actuator on the drivers door would not allow the door to open. In the case of an accident the inability to exit the vehicle in case the passenger door was damaged or the damage was to the passenger side this would be a safety issue. The dealer repaired the issue by removing the drivers seat thru the passenger door then removing the door panel and replacing the actuator at the cost of $700 and 16 days. The manufacturer has not inspected the vehicle or the actuator. There was no warning before the problem occurred. I have checked the Honda Accord forums and found this problem has been happening since the 1990’s so obviously the manufacturer should be aware.

Gas pedal would not engage after I rolled through a stop sign leaving me in the middle of a intersection. Causing a accident.

I am writing to express my concern regarding a significant safety issue with my 2002 Honda Accord's subframe. The subframe is rusting severely in the area where the air conditioning drain line drips directly onto it. This design flaw has caused concentrated corrosion over time, significantly weakening the subframe and making the vehicle unsafe to drive. As the subframe supports essential components such as the engine, transmission, and suspension, its deterioration poses a serious risk of structural failure. This could lead to loss of control while driving, endangering both the driver and others on the road. Considering the critical nature of this defect, I urge Honda to take responsibility for addressing this issue and provide a resolution to ensure the safety and reliability of affected vehicles.

Both front door weather seals are constantly popping off along the top edge of the door above the window. I've have to press them back on 4-5 times in the 18 months I've had the car and it only has 27,500 miles. I had the dealer attempt to fix this at the last oil changes and it again came off afterwards. This seems like a design flaw since it keeps happening even after the dealer fix.

1. The aeb system activated on a clear road with no visible obstacles in sight. The car showed "brake" message and braked by itself. Fortunately there was no car immediately behind me, so there was no collision. 2. While parked, with the keys untouched, the truck opened by itself. This has happened on more than one occasion.

Traffic and then I am hit a nother car.

The paint on my champagne 2019 Honda Accord is rusting around the wheel well and on the gas tank door. I’ve only had this car for 2 years and it should not be happening. I see other complaints about this that aren’t being rectified. .

Paint is peeling between roof and body pillars. It is a 2019 built in 11/2018. Also clear coat and paint flaking off drivers door.

Purchased my car brand new. Within 1. 5 years I've had to have 2 steering racks replaced and another component replaced within the steering column. Currently my lane keeping assist problem is on and I'm waiting to get appt confirmation from the service dept manager. My infotainment center went black and quit working and had to be replaced a little over a year after purchasing the car. The paint began peeling off my front bumper within 6 months of purchasing the car. I'm currently dealing with the Honda I purchased from to try to come to a resolution of this issue since I don't want my brand new car to have a bumper repainted and possibly not match and have it show up on a carfax report. Also have what the dealership calls "fisheyes" under the clear coat of the factory paint. Approx 20-25 spots on my entire car. The dealership said they could "buff" the places but shouldnt have left the factory in that condition. The body shop that Honda sent me too said once they started buffing on the "fisheyes" that they couldn't guarantee that the buffing of the spots would correct the issue or if they would need to repaint which I'm not ok with since it is a brand new car and paint might not even match the rest of the car. Also', I should add that all the maintenance and repairs have been completed at the dealership where I purchased my car brand new.

2018 Honda Accord in still night pearl experiencing paint peeling and rust forming. Similar issue covered under service bulletin 21-087, but my VIN is not covered According to dealership. Additionally, upon inspection, underneath the hood on the windshield side has paint peeling. No rust at the moment, but severe paint loss.

I was driving on freeway and I heard an explosion. Glass rain down on me. My sunroof shattered for no reason. I was driving with no cars ahead, beside or behind me. The weather was clear. I suffered with glass in my eye and I almost lost control of my car. Honda said they won't fix it with mr having to pay 1,000. 00 dollars. I want to join class action lawsuit.

Paint on top of the hood is peeling and causing rust. Upon talking to 2 different paint and body shops, I was informed they have had other Honda owners with pearl white paint come in for same issue. I took my car to local Honda dealership and they informed me there is no recall on this paint so they can’t do anything. However, when doing google search there have been numerous issues with Honda paint. As someone who paid thousands of dollars for car, getting maintenance only at Honda dealerships and not getting in any accidents, now I have problem that costs thousands of dollars and there’s no responsibility from manufacturer. Someone needs to address this issue.

Check engine, right mirror, door, alignment. My safety is not good, the car jerks and merging into another lane. Yes it has been inspected by insurance representative. It appeared when I was hit on 02/13/2024.

Metal part of rear upper and control arm bushings get rusty, they may come off the main piece and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident. I have just put 25,000 miles on my Accord. Bought it a year ago.

Vibration in car took it to dealership but still can't figure out what's causing to vibrate so much when driving and idling.

Driving at highway speed and sunroof glass spontanious exploded. Wasn't under any over passes or behind any vehicles. Luckily, I had the inside cover closed or I would've gotten shards of glass on my head and face while I was driving.

The paint on the hood of the car contains several chips and the paint on the entire hood has faded and has lost its color which was black, the appearance now appears to be faulted.

2018 Honda Accord has a poor fitting hood. The issue is not unique to Accords. On Honda pilots around the same year, supposedly a "fix" was issued where some sort of a tape was used to stabilize the hood. At highway speeds, the hood experiences visible deflection/vibration-like movement. Yes, the stop towers and the latch have been checked and adjusted by a qualified body shop, who, essentially, indicated that there is nothing else that can be done.

Factory pearl white paint peeling around rear windshield in the rain channels.

Paint on my platinum white pearl 2019 Honda Accord 2. 0t touring has started peeling in the rain channel on the roof.

At around 7:25am this morning I was driving to work in traffic and I was needing to stop, but my brakes were not working properly. They went all the way to the floor, no pressure, and I rear ended another person going 35mph. My entire front-end of my vehicle is totalled and my airbags did not even deploy. After the wreck I pumped my breaks to try to move it off the freeway and the breaks started to work again. This is a serious problem because had I been going any faster and even had my other family in the car we all could have been seriously injured or died!!.

Door lock actuator door does not auto lock leaving my rear passenger door unlocked even while driving. Has not been inspected as it is out of warranty.

The subframe is rotting out and I’m feeling unsafe driving it.

Rear sub frame allowed for rear suspension arms to be bolted to. One of the locations where those arms have ways to be attached to is no longer safe to do so because of corrosion and rust. I noticed there was a recent safety concern for a generation of Honda crv having a similar, or indeed the same complaint.

The driver side air bag did not deploy, however, the passenger side air bag ceployed when we hit a deer at 70 mph! both air bags should have deployed since we hit the deer in the center of the car! my wife an I are very lucky to be alive! the insurance company inspected the car and considered it to be totaled. The sheriffs department also made an accident report! no warning lights were on at all, I just had the car tuned up and it was in good working condition! air bags not deploying could be a hugh issue for Honda in the future! send me an email and I will scan the information in and send it to you!.

An issue with the black accessory grille that started to bubble up with no reason and this is an issue with Honda Accord sport because of the black accessory grille.

The rf and lr door locks won't unlock or lock with the switch or the key fob. By not being able to lock or unlock those doors, if I had an accident my passengers would not be able to exit the car. I have tested this several times and the only way to unlock or lock is manually by pushing the switch on the door itself. It has not been inspected by anyone other than me. And the problem started with the lr door lock not working, now has also started on the rf door, the lr started about 2 months ago and the rf started 3 days ago.

The trunk release mechanisms of my Honda Accord exl coupe failed, both manual cable and electrical trunk release. My trunk does not open and when I need to access my spare tire in the trunk - I will not be able to. A real danger since I live in canyon country and often phone reception is poor. The only Honda model that does not have any external nor internal emergency trunk release option. There is no "valet" button, no decklid access, no external hidden key lock nothing that can release my trunk so I can gain access to my spare tire. Federal law 49cfr571. 401 mandates an emergency internal trunk release. In this Honda model the only way to get into the trunk from inside is by unlocking and pulling down back seats to access the trunk. But the only way to unlock back seats is by pulling a cable that unlocks them which is inside the trunk! so the safety design flaws in the Honda Accord exl coupe are: there is no emergency access to release the trunk to gain access to the spare tire and there is no emergency way to unlock back seats to gain access to the trunk since the only way to unlock back seats is in the trunk. A mechanical engineer needed to dismantled the seats to get into the trunk and he tried to release the truck with the emergency trunk release but it is obvious that the latch has failed. If there was ever a person stuck in the trunk that person would not be able to free themselves. I do have a video showing the emergency trunk release not working if you like to see it but I can not upload it. I lost my job during the pandemic and my house has major damage from the massive amount of rain los angeles received. I am unable to afford to have a Honda dealership tell me what I already have on video showing that the emergency trunk release has failed and I am in potential danger every time I drive. I asked Honda to fix trunk release latch and expressed the dangerous coupe design flaws but they will not fix the safety problem unless Honda dealership gets involved.

Sun roof exploded while parked in my driveway.

Honda Accord paint completely fades after 10-15 years of owning the car, very embarrassing to drive the car. This did not happen to Ford mustang and Cadillac escalade I own that are at same age. I would like this issue be resolved during recall.

Paint peeling off 3 spots.
