2015 Honda ACCORD: complaints, problems and recalls

MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED A NEW HONDA ACCORD ON 10/31/2014 FROM PLAZA AUTO MALL, 2740 NOSTRAND AVENUE, BROOKLYN NY 11210. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THE MSRP STICKER ATTACHED TO THE WINDOW, AS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW. THE STICKER IS REQUIRED BY GEICO INSURANCE COMPANY TO AVOID CANCELLATION. PLEASE HELP ME TO OBTAIN THE MSRP FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THANK YOU. *TR

AFTER LEASING MY HONDA ACCORD SPORT, I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY, AFTER REACHING THE SPEED OF ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR I STARTED HEARING A NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. FIRST I THOUGHT MY DOOR OR WINDOW WAS NOT FULLY CLOSED BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. IT SOUNDS LIKE AIR IS LEAKING THROUGH THE DOOR ONCE I GET ABOVE 55 MPH. I RECHECKED THE SEALS ON THE DOORS, EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE BUT THE NOISE KEEPS HAPPENING. I MIGHT NEED TO GET THE DOOR SEALS ON THAT SIDE TO BE REPLACED. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC DRIVER'S SEAT IN MY NEW 2015 ACCORD SPORT ONLY MOVES FORWARD AND BACK, UP AND DOWN (THE ENTIRE SEAT) AND LUMBAR ADJUSTMENT. MY ISSUE HOWEVER IS THAT THE SEAT BOTTOM WHERE IT MEETS THE SEAT BACK IS SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER THAN THE FRONT OF THE SEAT BOTTOM AND THEREFORE CUTS OFF THE CIRCULATION UNDER MY LEGS NO MATTER HOW LOW OR HIGH I ADJUST THE SEAT SINCE IT ONLY EITHER RISES OR LOWERS THE ENTIRE SEAT.

ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, 2015 HONDA ACCORD SPORT'S GAS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN EVEN AFTER 10-15 ATTEMPTS AT THE GAS STATION. ON TWO OCCASIONS, I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO OPEN THE GAS DOOR AND FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION AND THE OTHER TWO TIMES, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR (HONDA OF NEW ROCHELLE). ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS SENT BACK WITHOUT SERVICE BEING DONE SINCE THE GAS DOOR OPENED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT. *JS

IT SOUNDS AS IF THE FRONT WINDOWS ARE OPEN EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING. BUT AT ESPECIALLY OVER 45 MPH, THE SOUND OF AIR WOOSHING INTO THE CABIN IS VERY PRONOUNCED. IT IS AT EAR LEVEL ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. HONDA HAS REPLACED THE WINDOW RUN CHANNELS BUT THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION BUT CANNOT BE. *JS
