Faulty AC System

The AC on my ‘17 accord is blowing hot air with only 18k miles. It is still under manufacturer warranty. The dealership claims that it is due to road debris which is not covered under the warranty. So basically they are saying that it is my fault for them placing the condenser somewhere that it could be damaged easily without shielding. The customer service department has confirmed the same information. It is an $800 charger for me to fix the problem. I will never choose Honda again.
Not like the old days!

I have a 2001 Honda Accord V6. Love it. So I bought a 2017 Accord V6. Pick-up is not as good; seems to have more play in the steering (I might need to get more used to it); steering wheel is uncomfortable: hard, not comfortable positioning for hands for some weird reason; BLACK dashboard! WHY??? When that sun hits it, the heat jumps back in your face! The radio/sound system is not nearly as good as 15 years ago. I am disappointed and doubt I will keep this car 15 years. If I could get all my money back, I would. Glad I still have the 2001!

The car is a 2017 it's 2018 and the car needed a jump six times in the last two months. I only bought it because Hondas used to be reliable. I took it to honda and the diagnostic test said battery, alternator and starter are all fine so it could be the 'drawl' not sure what that is but i bought a Honda so I wouldn't need to go through it. Honda is going to lose their customers. They've been going downhill in terms of reliability!

Recommend you test drive over 30 minutes on highway, ramps, and curves. The front driver seat is uncomfortable and feels like a lump in lower back even after adjusting lumbar support. With two display Windows there's a lot to view and is distracting punching buttons while driving. It's hard to see the speed you are driving at quick glance. It would be nicer if there was a Marker to show speed range between 55 and 65 mph. There no fast way to mute music. Brake pedal feels far away and hard to stop. This car almost went out of control on a curve. It does not drive as well as my old Volvo of 12 years. So, still adjusting to a bigger car. 2 displays screen keep going out to black. Then rear and side camera and radio won't work. Tire pressure light keeps coming on. No matter time if day clock resets to 1:00 pm when vehicle started.

I have to say I have owned many accords and a Honda Pilot, I recently sold my 2000 Honda accord EX-L V6 and purchased the 2017 sport special edition sedan about 3 months ago to drive to work which is about 65 miles round trip per day. Last week I was turning left into a shopping center and out of no where I was hit in the side by a motorcycle going 60 mph plus, I did not feel a thing, air bags deployed with no white powder or smell and no loud noise. This was my very first time being in a car that air bags deployed, this car kept me safe with no injuries (guy driving motorcycle had no major injuries luckily) Thank you Honda for making a safe vehicle and so well built that no air bags injured me. If you are looking for a car that gets great gas mileage and very safe, then then is the car. Looks great, drives great, with a great price.

An update to my original review below: After just 2.5 years, I happily sold my Accord because I realized after a few months just how horrendously uncomfortable the front seats were. I was upset to even consider getting rid of an otherwise decent car because of the seats. Honda really needs to figure out how to improve interior comfort, especially when it comes to head restraints. The exterior paint also started showing signs of flaking after just a year and a half, which is ridiculous because I maintained and garaged the car meticulously. I now drive an Audi A4, which has been incredibly comfortable. ————————— I came from owning a Volvo S60 (and an Acura TL before that) wanting something reliable and practical with a premium edge. The Accord Sport Special Edition provides an amazing value proposition in a stylish package, with many pros and a few cons. I cannot get over the exterior and interior styling; Honda did an excellent job. I love the amount of space throughout the vehicle, including the large trunk, legroom, headroom and other nooks and crannies. The leather upholstery and fit and finish are great. The visibility from the interior to seeing the road all around you is also excellent - way better than my two previous vehicles. I drive a constant mix of city, suburban and interstate environments - handling and ride is a wonderful balance of responsive, agile and refined. The car feels much lighter on the road than its actual size indicates. Turning radius is great - very easy to get around parking garages, parallel spots and city streets. The rear multi-angle camera is super handy in the urban environment. My only complaints are as follows: 1) the sound system and speakers leave much to be desired, 2) sunroof should be included and standard at this price, 3) auto-dimming mirror would be nice, and 4) I personally prefer regular automatic transmissions to the CVT - the undefined gear-shifting can feel strange. Other than that, I am extremely happy with this car.

The computer system controlling audio, and navigation went out after 2 months. Dealer replaced it. Battery died and had to be replaced at 17k miles. Yes, 17k miles and had to replace battery. Hope they fix these issues before i lease my next one.

Computer on my month-old car is crazy. From cruise control, to AC to seat position remembering, I can't depend on this car's performance and have not yet been able to take it to the dealer. The car also talks to me when I'm not inside and my phone is nowhere near. Crazy car. But love driving it. Smooth, easy to drive. And when I learn the complicated navigation, things will be great again.

My car came with a vibration the dealer tells me this is "normal" the tires that came with the car out of balance the dealer balanced them but the car goes into vibration @different speeds. I bought this car from Nardy Honda Smithtown L. I. N.Y. my advice is drive the car you are buying be for you "buy" it. I DIDN'T I am not happy with Honda and there factory reps! I should have drove the car be for I bought it but the car had a dead battery and people like "Edmunds" that gave Honda such a good review what could go wrong

Worse new car purchase in decades

Owned for 13 months with 20K miles. I buy new cars every 3 years, this one has been the worse in a couple of decades. Honda warranty sucks, everything that goes wrong mechanically and electrical seems not to be covered plus they provide no loaner cars under warranty. Seating flattens out on any trip of length, driver door requires you to reach way out of the car to reach and shut. Inside electronics look nice but... layout is horrible taking your eyes off the road to use the few that work in operation even simple things like heat and air. This is the worse driver friendly car during operation I have ever owned plus spending over $1K in repairs the first year of warranty. Prior car was a 2013 Altima, that car was superior to the accord in all facets. it was never in the shop other that oil for $80K miles and very user/driver friendly.
