The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated that he had difficulty with the push start feature on the vehicle.

Battery has been replaced 3 times and constantly drains despite turning off automatic lights and air conditioning to utilize less battery power. Turning over will choke at times and start but about every time that I take my car in for an oil change the battery power tests low.
I have a touring trim of the Honda Accord 2016, meaning it has a V6 engine. At around 38,000 miles, the starter started acting up. When I try to start it, it makes a grinding noise and won't start. I lived with it for a little bit because I'm usually able to get it to start after a couple of attempts. I bought a brand new starter from Honda, installed it, and the car worked perfectly again. It started every time. 1 week later and the issue started happening again. It doesn't happen as often, but it shouldn't be happening at all. It's a brand new starter and I'm having the same exact issue as before. It happens like once a day now. The old starter was giving me issues every other time I tried to start the car. Won't be long before the same happens with this brand new one.
While on a trip driving on an interstate at 72 mph, in busy traffic, with cruise control on, the engine stalled. I rolled to a stop on the shoulder, and the car didn't restart. Engine lights came on, but all electronics (radio, computer screens) were working. Honda towed (under warranty) to their nearest dealership. After checking out the car, and telling me it restarted and displayed no diagnostic codes, I was sent on my way. I was told it was safe to drive as there was no problem. Still on a trip, and about 500 miles later, I was again on the interstate passing a group of semi's on about a 5% grade, with cars in front of and behind me, when the engine stalled again. This time was much scarier as I was in the passing lane, and the right shoulder was blocked by a long string of semi's. it was dangerous trying to get to the right shoulder as there were cars in front of and behind me also. I was traveling at 78 mph with cruise control on when this happened. The car restarted this time, and with it being a weekend and the service department closed, I continued home the final 550 miles (in the right lane) without incident. This was the 3rd time the engine has stalled. The first was when I was in heavy traffic on the interstate, in stop and go traffic. The temperature was 109, and at the time (car had about 10,000 miles on it) I attributed it to the temperature even though the car didn't overheat. It restarted immediately this car is the 6 speed (manual), 6 cylinder, coupe model.

Volatile organic compounds, including "methyl isobutyl ketone" are entering the vehicle cabin while the engine is on. This is causing serious eye irritation and breathing irritation. This despite the air conditioning being on, all vents closed, all windows up. I've attached the results of a "passive diffuse monitor" that was used in the cabin to monitor the air quality for approximately one week in December 2016.
Honda quality problems. We bought a 2016 Honda Accord in January. After few months the car started to have problems. The car loses acceleration all of a sudden and comes to a low speed (0-5 mph) within seconds. Every time this happened I was driving on the freeway. I took to the dealer many times. First time - the dealer said that he couldn't find anything wrong with the car second time - as per Honda tech, they diagnosed that the chip in the computer is the problem. So they said that the software in the computer needed upgrade (strange.. it is a brand new car. And why is this happening to only one car. It should have been the case with other cars produced at the same time). Third time - as per Honda tech, they replaced the acceleration kit as they thought that is the problem. Fourth time - now they think the wiring is the problem and replaced that. Every time, I drove that car trusting them, I risked my life. I avoided accident 8 times on freeway from being rear ended. I drove into the central ditch on the freeway and injured my shoulder. I am on medication for the past 1+ month. I am worried that I drive this car and am going to die.
