Everytime I try to turn my wheel it’ll get stiff and the notification will pop up saying “electric power steering system” but then it’ll go back to normal and when I start the car it sounds like it doesn’t want to start at all and like the cords are trying to connect because they start making a ticking sound. I’ve had issues with electrical before to where the airbags and lane assist had to be fixed but the issues seems to keep circling back around. Something going on with the electrical in the car and I have only had it for about a year and a half.
Paint on the center roof of my car has been progressively getting white spots and paint defects. Paint has not been having these issues anywhere else on the cars body, but only has been an issue on the roof. I went to my local Honda dealer to see if there was a recall on my cars specific paint, but no recall was shown. There has been recalls for the same make and model of my car for this issue, but not for my paint code.
Vibration in car took it to dealership but still can't figure out what's causing to vibrate so much when driving and idling.
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.
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.
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.
The paint, obsidian blue pearl, is peeling and rust is starting to form.
