Hello, good morning, I want to make a complaint, I don't know if you can help me. What happened to my car was that I bought it at a major world dealership in long island city, which they told me that the car did not have an accident or total loss report, which turns out to be a lie after a few months with the car. I noticed that the car has total damage. Hey, it even has part from another vehicle. I've tried to get him to help me, but he says it doesn't have to do with the car anymore. They also charged me a guarantee of 3,000 dollars and they do not want to cover what the vehicle has in conclusion; the car has a destabilizing rear rubber, the part of the trunk enters the water, the doors on the left side do not belong to the same VIN number of the vehicle and a no number of thing. Please, I ask you to help me since I am a young latino immigrant who wants to get ahead in the United States. Right now I am using the vehicle because I don't have to go to work

Vehicle makes a mild to moderate noise from the front wheel when traveling at low speed. The noise can be characterized as something rubbing together. It should like metal on metal. I just purchased this vehicle two weeks ago. I took it to Honda. They claimed it was the rear pads and rotors. I still hear it and after a google search I noticed hundreds more people who bought 2016-17 models are affected with no fixes or acknowledge by Honda. I'm concerned about the safety. I don't know what else to do. Thank you

My vehicles cruse control, lane departure, collision warning and lane assist completely stopped working after being parked (stationary) in my driveway, vehicle has always had problems with front suspension since new and become unstable with braking hard if another driver cut me off having to apply brakes or when applying brakes down hill.. vehicle was taken to deal for front suspension but never fixed after multiple attempts under warranty.. the latest issue with driver safety system is a manufacturers failure as these are features supposedly to prevent accidents and so fourth on public roads and highways. My vehicle is just over 4 years old and maintained and serviced to manufactures specification. In researching thru the web I found Honda owners having this same issue with their vehicle. I believe Honda should recall and fix these problems on their vehicles computer / software or sensors for public safety. Part of the weather door window stripping is also deteriorating.

Honda Accord V6 I have a 2011 and 2016 Accord V6...when the road is wet (rain or light snow) or significant wind, the cars are all over the road, when I have brought the cars back to the Honda dealership, they say the alignment is off, charge me for realignment, and say I am all set. 4 or more times back with cars I have bought new, and every time I am traveling over 65 mph I feel I could crash at any time. The dealership acts like I am crazy. When I do net searches it seems all other owners have been silenced. Anyone else having this problem? I drive tons of miles and know cars pretty well

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the rear of the vehicle pulled in one direction while driving 30 mph. There were no warning indicators illuminated before the failure. The contact took the vehicle to gardena Honda (15541 S western ave, gardena, ca 90249, (310) 660-7289) for diagnostic testing and repairs. Honda advised the contact that the vehicle needed a swaybar replacement; however, the part would have to be purchased aftermarket. The service manager at Honda advised the contact that a tire alignment and a wheel bearing were needed. The contact spoke with the manufacturer and was informed to drop the vehicle off and get a third wheel alignment performed. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 23,000.

Veh making weird sounds coming from right front wheel area. "cracking, popping, squeaking" dealership fixed it and continues, next week dealership stated they would order more parts to repair it. Then they found when they went to fix it the second time that the frame was bent and broken with rust and it is impossible to repair without repairing the suspension first. The cost to me $2,700.

Car was purchased brand new from dealership in fort smith, ar. Upon inspection 10 days after purchase. (miles: 502) vehicle undercarriage and suspension had significant rust and oxidization damage. In this region of the United States- rust is very uncommon if not ever present, much less, on a brand new vehicle. After numerous attempts to work with american Honda and the local dealership, they claim to have exhausted all efforts and have done all "repairs" they intend to do. The work done was only surface removal and since then, a rear oil leak has developed and the back seat door panels have separated from the body of the vehicle. Let it be known that I have been without a vehicle since the beginning of this process, June 3, 2016. This is unacceptable and unbelievable that a brand new vehicle has this extent of rust damage. I am a mechanic with over 40 years of experience and have never seen this type of damage on a vehicle, let alone a new purchase. If I would have known this would even be an issue, I would have inspected the vehicle before purchase. Because of it being a new vehicle, who would have expected this problem from a trusted vehicle brand such as Honda?! I have made sure to document this thoroughly and have more than 70 photos for your review. Please contact me anytime for those or any additional documentation you might need.

Lately, I decided not to drive my 2016 Honda Accord on the highway for safety precaution until the Honda dealership does something about my car. I don't have full control of steering wheel about 40 mph. I took back four times, the dealership mechanic saw nothing wrong. I know it is steering issue. One would have to drive the car for a while to encounter the problem that am having with it. I will take it back after the holiday for a replacement. One way or another I will not keep on driving a car which represents a safety issue for me and others. The problem is felt on both, the city street and the highway.

Lots of vibration when idle with brakes. Vibration felt in my foot and steering wheel. Took to dealership twice and they claim that is how Honda LX drive and other customers made same complaint. Too much vibration for a brand new car. It is not right for them to get away with these kinds of issue. Cannot enjoy new car experience due to this issue

Since day 1, have had issues with a noticeable clunking noise while going over bumps.after 4 repair attempts at a Honda dealership that led to tightening of 'loose'(as per the mechanic and paperwork) nuts and bolts, adjustments of the rack, replacement of both front struts as well as replacement of the front steering rack, the noise continued. During the 5th repair attempt after meeting with an engineer from Honda as well as the Honda certified mechanic, the mechanic tells me that the subframe became unglued. The new design of the Honda subframe is now glued and not welded, in order to make the vehicle lighter and more fuel efficient. I am told by a Honda engineer that Honda tech line is now aware of this issue(which tells me there hsve been numerous complaints). Even after the entire subframe was recently replaced, I continue to have front end issues with my brand new car including creaking and vibration. I am currently working with a lemon law attorney and now have had 5 repair attempts on this vehicle. This subframe issue certainly is a safety matter and failure of such could lead to catastrophic accidents. This has and continues to be an ongoing problem. The 'glued' subframes in these vehicles should be investigated. Please note that this Honda is their top of the line 'touring' model which has additional suspension parts for a smoother ride supposedly. I have all of my documentation from the dealership should you require it.
