On a hot day while sitting stationary in my car with ac running, I heard a 'pop' with a fizzle sound then smoke began to rise from the front of the dash where it meets the windshield. The vehicle stopped running [push to start], and all lights flashed on the dashboard. The all sensors began to emit error messages. I turned off and exited vehicle, popped the hood and smoke was also coming up from outside the car. The car was purchased in March 2018, and at time of incident had a little 6000 miles. After letting car sit for a few hours it started up, with error messages across the display..I.e. TPMS, check engine, lkas, etc. I then had vehicle towed to nearest Honda dealer, and the service people were unsure why a module in the dash burnt out; so they contacted Honda Corp. Long story short they placed blame that a charger found in the bottom of my glove box caused it, which was never used in my car. To this day no one can answer me why a spontaneous fire started in my car while sitting still with ac running, but they refused to fix my car. This could have been a serious issue if the car was being driven at the time of this incident. Photos show possible leakage on the wires, but no on wants to admit that there is a big problem at hand.

The first night I took ownership of car, the engine light blinked and the car lost power, and became a brick. Had to turn car the off, start it, and began to function normally. Car showed 3 misfire codes on my scanner P0301, P0304, P0300. This happened several times, the dealership told me the first time nothing is wrong with the car. They checked the computer and it shows nothing happened. Reluctant to take the car I was, but lia brewster Honda was very forceful and took the loaner back. Not even two nights later the car did it twice in one drive cycle. Every time this happens in the rain. Lia brewster Honda has my car now for quite some time and no one can figure out what is wrong. I am upset that they told me my car was safe, I have a 9 month old daughter that is the world to me. I explained this and still was not taken into consideration. My car is still there, and no sign of being fixed. Only paid one payment on the car. They took my car due to the fact I video taped this happening. I feel the car is unsafe for my family, hope this isn't something that becomes a trend with 2018 Honda 2.0T. People's safety is a number one priority. Very upset I was told nothing wrong with my car, and was puts in an unsafe condition.

Bought this car on March 30,2018 new at great lakes Honda in akron, Ohio. As soon as I drove home, I noticed that the engine accelerate. Did not feel safe. Took it to the Honda store in youngstown, Ohio on 4/10/2018. 10 days later, the dealer does not know what is wrong with the car. Do not believe that the car is safe. Called the selling dealer( great lakes Honda) several times and left messages.they never called me back.ti believe they know there is something wrong with then car.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. While driving approximately 15 mph, all the warning indicators illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to priority Honda (621 N battlefield blvd, chesapeake, va 23320) where it was diagnosed that the spark plugs, cylinders, compressor, and fuel injector needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,697.

This car has started to show signs of bad build quality. 1st 2 days after buying the car all the lights on the dash came on so I had to take it in for a module replacement. 2nd the car is very loud ( the road noise and engine noise) worse noise I've ever heard from a new car and sound like it's has exhaust leaks. T|E vehicles ride is very hard like the struts are worn or bottoming out and it's not the 17 inch tires as my Fusion has 17's. the vehicle is difficult to keep in its lane even with all of the lane keep technology I have a hard time staying straight especially when I hit bumps the car hops around like it has worn struts. The transmission shifts into 1st gear hard on pulling away from a stop.

The car stutters or stammers when you press the accelerator/gas pedal at times, it does not do it at all times. It is dangerous. It was stationary at a stop light, or pullling off from a stopped position.
