2018 Honda Accord Hybrid electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was slowly pulling into my garage to park. When I pressed on the parking break, the car revved to full speed, slammed into garage and would not respond to the brakes, or any attempt to turn off the ignition or to control the car, including failure of the automatic emergency braking, forward collision or parking collision to function, even though they were all turned on. When "park" was depressed, with the engine still revving at a high speed, the car flew full speed into reverse into the driveway, spun in a circle then flew through the driveway elevated concrete divider, through the neighbors fence and was stopped by a large boulder under the driver's side of the vehicle. The engine was smoking and revving and did not immediately stop. The driver's side air bag had deployed and the door was jammed. I crawled out of the passenger side. The neighbor into whose yard the vehicle went, witnessed the incident. Another neighbor rushed to the car with a fire extinguisher, disconnected electrical wiring and sprayed the engine. The car had gone totally out of control. It took the towing service 2 hours to get the car out of the yard. My insurance company determined the car to be a total loss. Recently, the collision center where the car was eventually taken, completed an analysis of the car's computer and determined there had been multiple computer system failures leading to the car becoming uncontrollable. Fortunately, I was not seriously injured. Had this happened in a busy area, there could have been a much more disastrous result with deaths. The police arrived but did not file a police report as the incident was on private property and there was no one seriously injured.*dt
Repeatedly at random intervals during hot & cold weather I hear loud buzzing vibration sound coming from area housing high voltage lithium ion battery!!! Over the past one year. Always while driving at 46 to 52 MPH, now in cold weather is starting at 35 MPH . I fear over heating or fire from high voltage lithium ion battery!!! I had the dealer replace a mic located in the cabin and not problem was corrected, 7 different technicians at honda had hear this noise but they don"t know what it is. This is been happen since the car had 4200 miles now is 28000 and is getting worst . Please if you having this similar issue take the time to report it here so honda can take it serious this can be a fire hazard .
Started the car and was immediately received 4 messages: "lkas: lane keeping assist system problem. See your dealer.". "road departure mitigation system problem. See your dealer.", "blind spot information system problem. See your dealer.", "auto high_beam problem. Manual controls available. See your dealer.". Turn signals did not work. Hazard lights did not work. Trunk release did not work. Backup camera did not work. Came back after 30 minutes or so and all displayed failures were gone and the trunk opened. My daughter said the brake lights were functioning when I depressed the brake and even though the backup camera did not turn on the back up sensors appeared to be operating.
Honda accord hybrid 2018: 1. Repeatedly at random intervals during hot weather I hear loud buzzing vibration sound coming from area housing high voltage lithium ion battery!!! Over the past one year. Always while parked after driving. I fear over heating or fire from high voltage lithium ion battery!!! Honda dealer response: we don't hear any noise now. We have no way to check high voltage battery. 2. October 2018 honda accord hybrid recalls for "high voltage lithium ion battery" were for computer reset codes(????) whatever that means. 3. Neither honda nor the federal safety agency show any concern! Help! Is there anyone else out there with a honda accord hybrid who hears this loud buzzing vibration from the high voltage battery? Anyone else fear fires from the high voltage lithium ion battery? 4. High voltage lithium battery never achieves full charge! Never holds more than 3 bar segments out of 10 for charge.
I purchased a new 2018 honda accord hybrid on june 30, 2018 from honda of kirkland for my daughter. On monday, february 25, 2019, when she was driving back from class on a road at 35 MPH, the collision mitigation system brake warning flashed then braked immediately, stopping the car in traffic. No obstacles or cars were in front of her. Fortunately, the cars behind her were far enough away that they were able to stop. In addition, she tried to get out of the way of traffic by pressing the accelerator, but the car would not respond for several moments after the automatic braking occurred. She also told me that the brake warning had been coming on often when nothing was in front of her. In addition, the lane departure feature has been malfunctioning, trying to pull her to the left lane into oncoming traffic when driving on curving roads. The car is currently at the honda dealership, but the only thing they found was "a little dirt" on one of the sensors, stating that there was nothing wrong with the honda sensing system. I have found class action lawsuits filed against honda for faulty collision mitigation systems on at least two of their models (accord & crv). In addition, I have found pages of results for these problems with honda and acura (honda corporation) when simply typing in "collision mitigation system problems". Please see the links below. *dt consumer requested to add the following link https://www.classlawgroup.com/honda-accord-collision-mitigation-sytem-class-action-lawsuit/
Since the vehicle reached approximately 5000 miles, I had a massive safety failure of the "honda sense" system shutting down, hazard & turn signals inoperative, power locks inoperative, brake system warning light on, loss of auto headlights and information screen. Vehicle was taken to the dealrship and they retrieved trouble code which is a "mystery code" that honda does not know why its occuring .... Radar told car to accelerate when vehicle was not in motion u0401-92 along with 3 other codes. Dealership showed me printout from computer but customer receipt said reset system only and did not list out trouble codes (4 codes retrieved) vehicle now stops intermittently while driving at highway speeds, pulls itself out of the lane while driving, and apple car play system no longer will recognize iphones (tried multiple) and dealer has verified issue but just resets. Infotainment screen lost power and set warning message for same when dropped off again at dealership 2/26/19. Dealer in florida also had car, said nothing wrong, could not duplicate and vehicle never left dealership and carplay did not work after they claimed it was fine. Also found that entire system was reset and rebooted, causing loss of all settings and stored information/stations....why reboot if its working? Vehicle now being driven with honda sense system off due to fear of collision or accident caused by vehicle and not driver. This vehicle is now unsafe to drive. Multiple complaints about vehicle braking on its own, flashing "brake" warning to driver when no car in front ... Happens local and highway driving now intermittently. Vehicle has been in dealerships approximately 4-5 times since inital electrical failure 12/24/19. Email contact and several phone calls to hma already. Original electrical failure happened 12/23/28 and I have been dealing with since. Also have snapshots
On my way back to home in san diego ca in late jan 2019 the panel started showing warning signs like brake system light on, adaptive cruise control/road departure mitigation/lane keeping assist system (lkas) lights are all on saying failure. This was the second time for my around 2000 miles accord hybrid. The first time it was able to resolve by re-power on the car but second time it was completely failed. Then I went back to dealer the other day and it turned out the multipurpose camera did not work properly under rain and low temperature (it was just typical san diego winter) so they replaced one. It is extremely dangerous since I have seen people reported the same issue everywhere. After the replacement the auto-highbeam started working as well, before I didnt even know it was not working. Same warning sign like this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_nfu2hpngc
Bought 2018 honda accord hybrid new july 2018. Initial tank of gas mpg 56! Ever since mpg in 30s. Gas engine runs car 90% of time! Ev motor rarely comes on! Essentially not a hybrid! Gauge for high voltage battery always at (3) out of (10) bars - never fully charges! Owner's manual says low lithium ion battery charge can shorten life of lithium batteries! Honda dealer service department where purchased says, "we don't know much about the hybrids."!!! He says "winter gas" lowers the gas mileage"! I said its a hybrid, 'winter gas' doesn't affect the electric motor! Honda dealer says again that they don't know much about honda hybrids! 1. Is my new 2018 honda accord hybrid high voltage lithium battery dead or dying already? 2. Why doesn't the EV motor come on? Isn't it supposed to be a hybrid? 3. Why doesn't honda instruct dealer service departments on how hybrids work? 3. Why doesn't honda support its own hybrid models?
