Down goes Honda

2016 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan w/Honda Sensing (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful

I have owned 4 Hondas and my last 2 brand new have been the absolute worst. This car is included. I bought it and was almost begged into buying the additional warranty, but thought it was just the finance person working extra hard. Apparently, he nee something that I didn't. I'm not impressed by a car doing what it is supposed to do. It's when it doesn't work that's the issue. The dual screens have blacked out-meaning no back up camera. The screens have locked up as well as the radio so I was stuck listening to the same thing. My locks malfunction so the only way to get into the car is unlock it manually. It has completely powered down/battery drained afer 30 min of radio listening on lunch -I didn't run the car full strength and had to call roadside assistance as my car -steering wheel and brake-locked completely. I currently think that it is being held together by a string and bubble gum. Going to get rid of it. This will be the last honda that I will buy. My last brand new crosstour had to have an entire front axle replaced after 3 years. I absolutely hate this car

Perky new Honda Accord V6 Touring

2016 Honda Accord Touring V-6 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

I love my new Honda Accord V6 Touring. It is quite large in the interior & exterior. So far the gas mileage has been ok; Honda stated it will take about 5,000 miles before I will see an improvement in the MPG. I love that it takes regular gasoline. I miss that there is not a good driver arm rest, but that is a small thing. All of the cameras are very helpful. I did not think I would like the Sensing package but they have been very helpful in backing-up and parallel parking. The steering ratio is excellent. The Honda Accord V6 Touring is a classy sedan, it is not like a “regular Accord”, therefore I hope that Honda creates a new upscale car-name to match the wonderful reality of this car.

Worst car that I ever owned!

2016 Honda Accord Sport 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

I bought this car from Elgin McGrath dealership, in Summer of 2016. Before that I drove Camry 2009 and had no issues ever. Love that car! Now I gave it to my parents and they are enjoying it. With new "addition" (Honda Accord Sport 2016) in our household I started having all kinds of problems from the very beginning of my ownership: after just 1 month, voice recognition started failing, pandora stopped working, in a year or year and a half in winter the car didn't start one time (battery was ok though), heating system started blowing cold air and last winter I was freezing in my car consistently to and from work, camera failed 1 time and yesterday another time, car didn't start again when I needed to pick up my Mom from the airport 2 months ago, and there was also an issue when all of a sudden the car wouldn't accelerate when I pushed the gas pedal on the highway and on local roads too... I kept bringing my car for the past 3 years (since I bought it brand new) to 4 different dealerships on regular basis in hope that it will be fixed, but they didn't do anything, saying that they couldn't replicate the issue.. Years are going by, my car didn't start again and camera failed, voice recognition still doesn't work most of the time, instead of heating it blows cold air... Now my car is our of warranty and all these issues are continued, should they be finally "replicated", I will probably have to pay out-of-pocket at this point... Now, how unfair is that?! MotoWerks in Barrington was unbelievably inconsiderate and even rude to me. Took my car for repairing these issues multiple times, gave me a loaner, forgot about me for 2 weeks, noone made any contact, then when I called there myself to ask about the status of my vehicle, they said that they can't repair it because they can't replicate the issue and demanded their loaner back, while I had a surgery that day and was on bed rest! In June of 2019, during my next attempt to fix all these issues in my car, the manager crossed the line at all - while they didn't repaired my vehicle AGAIN, and didn't even care about it, he at that very same moment demanded their loaner back and after I mentioned that we have a death in a family and funeral will be in a day or two, asked if I could return their loaner few days later, in a meantime maybe they would finally fix my car, he not only refused me, but he also threatened me to call the police and report their vehicle "as stolen"!!! HIS RESPONSE WAS NOY ONLY DISRESPECTFUL BUT IT WAS EVEN SHOCKING!!! I was STUNNED!!! I dropped all my errands for the day, his threat ruined all the things for me I had to take care of that day, and I was forced to go back to the dealership to return them their loaner! That was my last encounter with Honda dealership before my warranty expired.. I've seen disrespect from sales people and managers on occasion before, but THIS ONE WAS BEYOND BELIEF! IT WAS AN OUTRAGE! THIS MANAGER SHOULD BE FIRED FOR SUCH MISCONDUCT TOWARDS A CUSTOMER! As to a Corporate, they are being of no help either!!! They just kept sending me back to the dealerships, where the system must have been designed for NOT finding a problem that customer is suffering from with a car, and REFUSE TO OFFER ANOTHER SOLUTION SINCE I CONTINUE HAVING THESE ISSUES BUT DEALERSHIPSARE UNABLE TO FIX THEM. If I ever get in to a car accident due to malfunctioning of my vehicle and manufacturer's unwillingness to resolve a problem for me, this will be THEIR FAULT AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITY! Hope I will be safe though until I buy another car. So... I'm stuck with a defective vehicle so far, dealerships can't fix it and corporate refuses to refund me the money by "lemon" law.. MY RECOMMENDATION - STAY AWAY FROM HONDA AND BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER!!! OTHERWISE YOU'LL BE STUCK WITH DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND YOU WON'T GET ANY HELP FROM ANYWHERE FOR AS LONG AS YOU OWN THIS CAR!!! By the way, I take excellent care of my car, drive it very little - for 3 years and 3 months it has only 20k miles on it.. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HONDA TO ANYONE!!!

BEWARE!! Accord 2016 has VIBRATION + moreproblems!

This car has serious vibration problems. At start up the engine vibrates and causes the steering wheel to shake .you have to put it into neutral to stop the vibration. The local dealer knows of the vibration problem on CRV but refuses to hear that there is a problem on the accord. The agents at America Honda never picks up the phone and are not helpful very negative, cannot send any written information .They said take it to another dealership.I am doing that. The seats are very uncomfortable after a long drive and the steering feels stiff on the freeway.The air conditioner and heating system are very poor works only at very high setting. I am smelling foul air from the air Conditioner system and this is not covered by warranty.The car is noisy on the freeway-wind noise. I bought the car for its excellent reviews! and customer service!. My previous car has no such problems. I am now questioning the reviews. I feel I have a lemon because no one reports this vibration problems etc. Do test drive for a long distance and check the car before you buy. On mine the vibration problem started 2 weeks after purchase. America Honda are very reluctant to provide any information or concrete help. The + gas mileage is good ,acceleration good.

sexy car with not so great interior design

Outside is WONDERFUL however driving sites very low to the ground in the sport edition which causes the handling to be quite ruff and the ride just as ruff, the controls on the steering wheel are horribly placed and you constantly hit the dial a person button. The steering wheel is just awkward in general. Also the stereo system is terrible you do not get quality thats for sure.
