Still got the rattles and still getting mystery dings and marks on the rims. I used to take it to a professional to get the wheels fixed but it happens so frequently I finally gave up. Car currently has 68K miles on it and I still love the car... 27Nov2021 Still love the car but the mystery dings and marks on the rims are really frustrating. The car is performing beautifully and I'm really happy with it. Car has approximately 60K miles on it and it drives like I just drove it off the lot. Car is beautiful and performs surprisingly well. The only thing I've found wrong is a rattle coming from the passenger side of the car. I can't isolate it but it seems to come from the door. I called the dealership and they said they can't help since it's not a warranty issue so I'm stuck with it until I can figure it out... update (23 Nov 2018): after 12 visits to the dealership and getting Honda Corporate involved, I've given up. There are occasional mystery noises but they've solved enough of them that I'll just live with them now. I just wish it didn't take so many visits to get it reasonably right. The dealerships are at the mercy of Corporate and are only allowed to do what's prescribed so I can't really blame them. Corporate, so far, has only paid me lip service. I'm kinda thinking maybe I should've paid the extra $10K and got myself an Avalon... Update (nov 25,2019) some of the rattles the dealership had repaired are back. At this point I’ve given up. Another thing I’ve given up on are the wheels. They are prone to damage from everything from curbs to rocks on the road. I used to take them to a shop to get them cleaned up but mysterious dings and scrapes keep appearing even though I’ve been extremely careful to avoid damaging them. I’m sure it has to do with the low profile tires but there isn’t much I can do about that...

Location of Sensor on Grill of 2018 Accord Sport

The sensor that controls the Adaptive Cruise Control, and two other functions on the car is located 11 inches from the ground and is very exposed to road damage as I experienced with less than 620 miles and two and a half weeks of ownership. I contacted Honda Corporate Customer Service who said because it was damage it was not covered under the warranty. I explained to them I think it is a design problem since no other vehicle in the Honda line has located the sensor for this system so close to the ground and is so large. In looking at other vehicles in the Honda product line, these sensors are much higher up and are much smaller than on the 2018/2019 Honda Accords. Since the Acura TLX is basically an upscale version of the Honda Accord, I measured the distance from the ground to the bottom of the sensor and it is 9+ inches higher and is less than 23% the area. I also looked as other manufacturers comparable vehicles and I cannot find anything on the front of their vehicles so exposed as the one on the Honda Accord. The reason I am so upset about this, is Honda is hiding behind the warranty and will not admit that it is a poor location of this critical feature of the car. Since this is my 9th Honda, including five Accords, this was very disappointing to me. I would recommend anyone considering purchasing a 2018 or 2019 Accord to be aware that these sensors are very subject to being damaged easily. I was driving down an interstate highway at night when orange colored warning messages started to appear in the middle of my tach indicating the Adaptive Cruise Control was malfunctioning along with two other warnings. I had no idea something had struck this sensor until I took it into a local Honda dealer and they sent me photos of the damage. I was baffled as to how something could be damaged, as the sensor was, without me hearing or feeling something hitting it. Again, I am very disappointed with Honda's response, which was basically not their problem.

Only have 1200 miles on car have only had it for a month and half and have already had a multiple of issues with it. 1. Check engine light is stuck on. 2. Dash lights will flash a green color and then go away and come back. 3. Passenger side tail/brake light assembly is full of water. 4. Trim around drivers side rear window is coming off etc. Very disappointed as always heard Honda Accords were great cars and car had been a disaster.

I love the car. It’s the 1.5L sport. Handling is great, steering with decent feel. Acceleration is very good for motor size, combined with good real world gas mileage. I considered my self a car guy and for commuting I love the CVT transmission. Very responsive, ultra smooth, paddle shifters actually work in sport mode. Interior is nicest in the class by far, roomy and comfortable. Downsides are the ride can be a lot little bumpy and busy on bad roads. It’s good considering it has 19” wheels, but if your after a super smooth ride, probably not your car. Also a little too much road noise on some surfaces. If you want a sporty looking, driving, and economical car that has plenty of room for 5, it’s a great car! Bought it for 23.3k plus tax, so consider it a good value. Update: 55,000 miles 40mg, no problems great commuter and family trip car. Trunk is huge. You do not need an suv.

Pretty, Peppy but Too Techy

It sits low on the passenger side but we've had worse with KIA several years ago. At least you can see out of the entire window . A short person like me has good visibility and feels comfortable even with the low slung look. Like Honda's we've had before, it has a lot of pep, as though it wants to take off if only you'd let it. It isn't quiet compared to Toyota, Hyundai or KIA even with the white noise adjustment. I looked everywhere to find how you know if it is on. Only the service tech could find it. I look at the manual a lot. In other words it has too much tech stuff for us that young and younger people like to play with but we'll never use. But then it is aimed at persuading the younger driver to switch from an SUV. We looked at Toyota too but liked the Honda's styling better.Ours is pretty to look at (red) and people have come up and asked about it. One day I found forehead prints all over the windows. Hope they weren't planning to steal it.
