2020 Honda Accord - not tracking straight. Dealership says they cannot recreate. Issue happens everytime going 50+mph for extended periods of time when car is warmed up (30-45+ minutes on highway. Did not initially happen during residential commutes, but is now starting to.) wheel sticks to one side when turning slightly to either side and then releases causing overcorrecting. Wheel is loose at center and you continuously have to adjust left to right to left to stay straight. It's almost as if there is no resistance in a certain section of the wheel. Severely concerning. Feels extremely unsafe and dealership won't listen. Seems like same issue from 2014 recall. Please recall this issue - I just bought a new car and it's doing this; something that should not happen, especially in a brand new car with me being the first owner - bought new in November 2019 at 6miles. I've owned 3 other Honda's and this has never happened. I feel like Honda is just trying to run my warranty out - I will fight to have this issue taken care of as I feel like I could crash at any time.

This vehicle when driving at normal speeds tends to make a high accelerating notices, it makes a person feel as if some other vehicle was passing on the left side at a very high speed. The first time I heard this noise, I moved to the right side of the road, thinking that a speeding driver was passing me. Since then, the vehicle continues to make this accelerating noise, six to seven times on a average of a thirty mile trip. I feet that this is not normal for a vehicle that is less than a year old. The vehicle makes this noise when in motion from 20-50 miles per hour, and might also make it at higher speeds. It never makes it while sitting in place idling.

From Oct 10 to Oct 14, I parked my car at off airport parking lot for 5days. When I came back, my car didn't start. My car was towed to the closest Honda dealership. I got the inspection report from the dealership stating that the reason why my car didn't start is due to bad gas. I went to the gas station, where I pumped my gas last time before I flew out of atl, to check with them. They provided me a copy of the system status report of 10/9/20 showing that there were no issues. So I went back to the dealership and they told me they have confirmed that #3 cylinder is full of water; they said they could get a fuel sample once I authorized them to work on the fuel tank removal and cleaning. Once they proceeded, they stated they focused on cleaning the spark plugs and performing an oil change which led them to find out there is internal damage to the engine. So they told me they would stop until my insurance company checks the car. They said they took multiple fuel samples and did not see water but there was water filled in the engine cylinders. They have asked me if the car was in a flood, but there was no massive rain or storm which flooded the area. They emphasized that it is not a warrantable repair as it is not a problem caused by the manufacturer, which sounded questioning. The technician told me if there is nothing wrong with the oil and fuel tank, then the only way that water can get into the engine is manually pouring lots of water through air intake, which also sounds ridiculous as I have never touched it nor there was no trace of someone trying to open my hood from inside and putting water. After I explained to them, they said they still cannot provide an answer as to why there is water, but it cannot be warrantable repair. If they do not know the clear cause of the issues, how can they strongly confirm it is not due to manufacturer issues?

The car was in motion on the highway when all of a sudden the check engine light came on and it stopped accelerating. I pulled over and could not get the car to accelerate more than a couple mph.

We recently purchased a 2020 Honda Accord ex. We have driven it about 3200 miles in the 3 months we owned it. During that time it has shifted from drive to neutral 3 times when my wife, while driving forward at normal speeds, lightly brushed the shifter while adjusting a control on the dash or on the steering wheel. The third time she attempted to quickly shift back to drive and because the lock is on the front side of the shift knob it was depressed and she went past drive into super (low gear); the lower gear slowed the car very abruptly (and, of course did so without activating the brake lights) and she was nearly rear ended. This is a very dangerous situation and we are considering selling the vehicle.
