2020 Honda ACCORD problems and owner complaints

APPROXIMATELY RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS HARDER THAN NORMAL; WHEN I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS SEVERAL LAYERS UNTIL I PUSH IT TO THE END. IT FEELS LIKE IT DOESN'T RESPOND RIGHT AWAY. ALSO, THE BRAKE IS GIVING ME A STRONG RESPOND, SO I FEEL THE CAR IS SHAKING SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN I DO AN IMMEDIATE STOP. ALSO, WHEN I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE, THE MOTION OF THE CAR RUSH FORWARD AND SLIDE DOWN BEFORE IT RESPONDS CORRECTLY.

THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE POWER STEERING WILL LACK RESPONSE AND THE CAR WILL DRIFT ONLY TO HAVE CONTROL REGAINED VIA A NOTCHY LIGHT JOLT OF THE WHEEL. ANOTHER WAY IN WHICH 2018-2020 ACCORD CONSUMERS HAVE DESCRIBED IT AS A NOTCH AND/OR FLAT SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEN ON SMOOTH STRAIGHT HIGHWAY ROADS. AS OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE NOTED, I TYPICALLY ENCOUNTER THIS ONLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT I DO EVEN NOTICE THIS WITHIN 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE VE…

FROM OCT 10 TO OCT 14, I PARKED MY CAR AT OFF AIRPORT PARKING LOT FOR 5DAYS. WHEN I CAME BACK, MY CAR DIDN'T START. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. I GOT THE INSPECTION REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THE REASON WHY MY CAR DIDN'T START IS DUE TO BAD GAS. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION, WHERE I PUMPED MY GAS LAST TIME BEFORE I FLEW OUT OF ATL, TO CHECK WITH THEM. THEY PROVIDED ME A COPY OF THE SYSTEM STATUS REPORT OF 10/9/20 SHOWING THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES. SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE CONFI…
