2017 Honda ACCORD problems and owner complaints

MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING HAS UNINTENDED BREAKING ONCE THE GAS PEDAL IS RELEASED, RATHER THAN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP IT ABRUPTLY APPLIES THE BREAKS ON ITS ON WITHOUT ANY CAR IN SIGHT (THEREFORE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SAFETY FEATURE) WHETHER I AM DRIVING ON A FLAT EVEN SURFACE ROAD, UP OR DOWN A HILL. IN ORDER TO PREVENT OR MINIMIZE THE UNEXPECTED BREAKING I AM HAVING TO APPLY THE GAS TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT VELOCITY BEFORE APPLYING THE BRAKES. EVEN IF I AM GOING 40,30, 25 MPHS AND I APPLY THE BRAKES TO GRADUALLY COME TO A STOP THE CAR IS S…

MY NEW ACCORD WITH A V6 ENGINE LIKES TO ENGINE BRAKE BY ITSELF. AS A RESULT IT WILL NOT COAST AND MAKES BRAKING UNPREDICTABLE AND VERY TIRING, ESPECIALLY WHEN DOING CITY DRIVING THAT INVOLVES STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS. WHEN IN MEDIUM TRAFFIC BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MPH YOU CAN FEEL IT DOWNSHIFTING EVERY TIME. WHEN COMING TO A CORNER AND MAKING THE RIGHT TURN CAR JERKS AS IT DOWNSHIFTS OR UPSHIFTS. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE ON 6/23/17 AND ON 6/26/17 AND THEY FELT WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING BOTH TIMES AND DISMISSED IT AS NORMAL. …

MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD (V-6) HAD NO ELECTRICAL POWER ON 9-17-2017. THERE WERE 800+ MILES ON THE CAR. THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS DEAD; NO SIGN OF ELECTRICAL POWER AT ALL. THE CAR WAS TOWED (AT HONDA'S EXPENSE) TO A DEALER, NOT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALER "CLEARED BATTERY CODES" AND THEN COULD FIND NOTHEING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS SINCE WITH THE CAR WHICH NOW HAS 1,134 MILES ON IT

ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER (HONDANATION KNOXVILLE), AND BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE, THE 2017 HONDA ACCORDS HAVE A KNOWN "ACCELERATION LAG" PROBLEM. OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION, OR EVEN A SLOW-TURN OR MERGE POSITION, THERE CAN BE A 1 TO 3 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND ACTUALLY GETTING THE CAR TO MOVE. THIS CAN PRESENT A HIGHLY SERIOUS SITUATION. IN EFFECT, THE CAR CAN STALL FOR A 1 TO 3 SECOND PERIOD WHILE ONCOMING TRAFFIC CLOSES IN ON YOU. SOMETIMES YOU CAN PRESS THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO …

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A GAS PUMP. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. I STARTED THE ENGINE, LEAVING IT IN PARK. I STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO CHECK MY GAS CAP AND THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING BACKWARDS QUITE FAST. I RAN IT DOWN, OPENED THE DOOR, BUT BEFORE I COULD BREAK IT THE DOOR WAS SERIOUSLY BENT. I BELIEVE THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS A FAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION WHERE THE GEAR SLIPPED FROM PARK TO REVERSE.

RODENT'S CHEWED A HOLE IN THE EVAP LINE COMING OFF THE FUEL TANK. 2552 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CORRUGATED EVAP LINE HAS A SOY BASED COATING. BECAUSE THIS LINE IS BUILT INTO THE FUEL TANK THE WHOLE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATED COST IS $1552, NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY. VERY WORRIED A SIMILAR PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART AND I'LL BE LOOKING AT MULTIPLE REPLACEMENTS. ASKING THE REPAIR SHOP TO TREAT THE NEW PART WITH HONDA'S RODENT DETERRENT TAPE PART # 4019-2317, BEFORE REIN…
