2018 Honda Accord body complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 57, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, there were abnormal rattling sounds coming from the rear of the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that the failure was a known manufacturer defect; however, the dealer informed the contact that they could not repair the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 45-60 MPH, the driver's side-view mirror detached from the mirror housing. The contact panicked as he had lost visibility of incoming traffic. Additionally, the forward collision avoidance sensors ceased to function as needed. The contact was unable to veer to the side of the road, and he pushed back the mirror into position while driving. The contact stated that upon reaching his destination, he attempted to secure the side-view mirror in the housing but was unable to. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who advised the contact to push the side-view mirror back into place whenever the failure occurred. The dealer also informed the contact he would be charged for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure occurred 5-7 times within two years. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.
I've filed the specific issues in other complaints, but also wanted to input this for a record. After taking the card to the dealer, the dealer DID NOT address any of the following: Right door speaker rattle Engine squeak (when shutting off) Hood vibration Did not troubleshoot the smell coming from the ventilation system. Did not apply the fix (if there was one) for the infotainment unit restarting abruptly. Did not look at as to why the display shows 100mph speed limit when there is no such thing in the the state of Colorado (that I know of and certainly not where I was driving when this happened). Did not look at why the aux display has issues Did not look at Bluetooth connectivity issues. Did not look at problems with radar and the CMBS system. Of course, the usual response is "we drove it for an hour (if that) and did not see anything."
The hood on the 2018 Honda Accord vibrates at highway speeds (not a little, but significantly). Two separate body specialists tried to make adjustment which resulted in slightly better but, but still, the hood vibrates (again, not a little, but an unsettling amount) at highway speeds. Honda already has a known issue with the Pilot model's hood: https://honda.oemdtc.com/711/hood-flutter-or-vibration-at-highway-speeds-2016-2019-honda-pilot-2017-2019-ridgeline And now, 2018+ owners are starting to complain about the hood stability at higher speeds as well. When I had initially raised the issue with American Honda, they ignored it (and, as they always do, told me to go to the dealer). Since then, Honda has done nothing to truly address the problem. An investigation (and a possible recall) should be initiated.

Paint peeling off 3 spots.
1. The component/system that failed, malfunctioned, or is defective is unknown. The clinking/rattling noise appears to be coming from the cabin and the right side of the vehicle. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2. My safety is put at risk each time I drive the vehicle. The noise sounds like a loose component or system; consumer does not feel comfortable driving the vehicle on the highway. 3. Yes, the problem has been reproduced and confirmed by a dealer; a Honda service manager test-drove the vehicle on 8/9/2021 and compared the noise to same/like model; both showed the same noises. 4. No, the vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, even though the consumer made a request for the manufacturer (American Honda) to do so. 5. Yes, there were symptoms of the problem prior to the failure; the rattling noise was soft at first, but then became progressively louder.
Significant paint peeling on the roof of the vehicle on both driver and passenger side was reported to Honda prior to 36k miles. Claim submitted to American Honda has been denied but no explanation has been given.
Purchased a brand new 2018 Honda Accord I’ve only had it for 3 years and the paint is chipping. I’ve contacted the dealer where purchased and they stated it’s out of the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty and won’t do anything about it. Opened a case with American Honda motor Corp and still haven’t heard anything back from the regarding my vehicle paint issue.
Paint peeling. Large half dollar coin sized peeling paint on the hood. Paint is peeling off and the paint is very thin. Normal highway driving will cause paint to chip off to the primer and metal level
My 2018 Honda Accord the paint is pealing and rusting on the roof on both sides of the roof. I took the car to a body shop recommended by the dealer ship. After car was inspected Honda America told the dealership that they would split the cost of the repair with me. Honda America provided me with a case number I find this unacceptable.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the front passenger's side door allowed the outside elements inside the cabin of the vehicle, resulting in the vehicle not being properly sealed against the outside elements. The vehicle was taken to hendrick honda of charleston (1539 savannah hwy, charleston, sc 29407, (843) 279-0447) however, was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000.
The clear coat on the hood and on the trim just below the hood is beginning to peel. As a result the paint is also beginning to chip.
Paint on hood getting 100's of pimples,some small some larger,photo enclosed note wax was put on to highlight the spots

The seals around the doors, weather stripping is coming lose, seats are falling apart, the radio and navigation screen will go black and reboot itself. The collision control system will get you killed if you're not careful. I was getting onto the highway from a traffic light, had my turn signal on. As I'm merging onto the highway going about 50 MPH, the car thinks I've fallen asleep or something. The car forcibly takes me back into the right lane and downshifts the car while braking? Scared me to death. I was told it was because I didn't have a turn signal on. Luckily it was 3am or I could've been smashed. Also, the brake light will flash at times, no one is in front of you. Or it flashes like you're about to hit someone but doesn't do anything but flash. Also, if you drive any length, it system will state that the driver has low attention span. Not sure why, it's not like I'm weaving. I think the car needs to feel some movement of the steering or it thinks you're nodding off. The car salesman warned me that the new bells and whistles, technology, could have issues because the tech is new but nothing specific. Try to sell me 3800 in warranty to cover tech. Thought it was strange at the time. Now, I'm thinking that he knew specifics and didn't share.
Early on, after buying the 2018 honda accord it became obvious that the hood on the vehicle vibrates at highway speeds. Then unfortunately, the car had been hit by hail storm. The hood had to be replaced (at least, according to the shop that did the work). The replacement was purchased from a honda dealer and pertained to be oem part. Right away it was obvious that the hood does not fit correctly (without any obvious way to adjust the fit). A second oem hood was ordered with the same lack of tolerances. Following the installation and re-painting of the hood, two separate body specialists tried to make adjustment which resulted in slightly better fit, but still, the hood (just as the original) vibrates (not a little, but an unsettling amount) at highway speeds.

I bought the car in february 2019, brand new. In july 2020 I noticed the paint peeling chipping. I contacted the dealer on 7/14/20, 7/29/20, 8/12/20. Was repeatedly blown off and was told they were contacting honda of america. Honda claims that tree sap caused the paint to peel but the independent body shop I brought it to said that there would be other spots of tree sap and that the tree sap would be very difficult to remove from the car. They specifically stated that this is a bold faced lie. I filed a complaint with honda of america and received a voicemail on 10/7/2020 stating that they were looking into it. I received another voicemail on 10/21/2020 stating that they were standing by the original honda of america representative that the issue was caused by tree sap. The body shop, geist towing and recovery, stated that it is most likely a manufacturing defect and that since honda is lying about the actual cause that they would recommend stripping the entire car and repainting. If they were honest only the sun facing surfaces may require repair.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda accord. The contact stated that he was involved in two rear end collisions and on both occasions the auto brake activated however there was a piece on the center console that had become dislodged that trapped his foot on the accelerator pedal. As a result, the contact was unable to depress the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop due to his foot being trapped on the accelerator pedal. There were no injuries reported. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was able to be driven from the scene. The dealer honda of downtown chicago (1111 n clark st ste 2, chicago, il 60610 (312) 766-1095) had the bumper, light and the onboard computer repaired both times. However, the issues recurred with the blind spot monitoring ,the backup camera and the parking sensor on the onboard computer malfunctioning after the vehicle was repaired . The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and all of those issues were fixed except the center console piece that keeps dislodging. The manufacturer said to take the vehicle back to the dealer to get the issue fixed. The console piece remains unfixed at this time. The failure mileage was 9,000.
Paint is chipping and peeling on hood, roof, doors and door handles. Car is parked in garage every night and in private parking space at work. Never under a tree or exposed to anything out of the ordinary.
Paint is peeling on the front bumper, trunk, hood, and door handles. Paint appears to be corroding on the door handle and rubs off even more when touched. The problem began with the door handles in 2019 and has now spreaded to other areas of the car. The vehicle was stationary, parked at my home when I noticed the issue. Both in 2019 and on today, 6/19/2020.
There are numerous factory paint defects including on the rear door, truck lid, and roof. The paint quality is very poor. I have brought the car to the dealer and have contacted honda of north america, they are both unresponsive to my demands to make repairs. This should be covered under the 3-year bumper to bumper warranty.
The paint is coming off in spots and is showing rust. It's always been kept in the garage and cleaned regularly. The spots are on the back trunk, back bumper, sides by the back doors, by the wheel wells in front and back.
I was driving my car on 14 south my speed was 55 to 60 I hear lots sound and car was not in my control I feel my rear driver side wheel came out and I almost die rim was broke during drive
Vehicle was parked/stationary on semi-flat a school parking lot. When I looked back the vehicles moved. Seems the parking gear did not fully engaged. Regardless vehicle was not in neutral or drive and it still moved forward with no one on it, no keys inside and engine off. Vehicle hit another parked vehicle. Luckily no one got hurt. Seems that the transmission/CVT system may be at fault, but unknown at this time.
The external paint of our vehicle is thin and fragile, it chips and scratches quite easily even if contacted by plastic such as a child seat or camera lense cover, never mind what an inconsiderate parking neighbor, shopping cart or road debris do to it. I have contacted the owner of the dealership; who offered to fix the paint, then revoked his offer. And american honda motor co., inc. Who opened a case and then closed it, ignoring my responses to their communications. Attached are copies of my communications.
The door weatherstrips were all coming off and have been replaced.. Drover door has been replytwice and is still coming off dealer is not taking responsibility and is saying its my fault
My 2018 honda is not driven often. It sits in my yard most of the time. I had it detailed a week ago only to find the paint was peeling on trunk, hood and roof. Horrified at this news I went to social media to see if this had been a problem with other honda owners. On google I found an article that explained that the paint indeed was peeling. I followed the steps in the article. Took it to the honda dealership where it was purchased. They of course except no responsibility nor would they read the article. Made them give me written documentation that they were excepting no responsibility. Tried for days to contact american honda with absolutely no success. Now contacting you.
