The vibration is ridiculous. I had two fixes and still have vibration. The amount of time it takes for the cabin to get warm is unacceptable. I live in NE and if it wasn't for the heated seats I'd freeze to death. I drive both city and highway and I haven't even achieved the listed city mpg. This will be the last time we buy a Honda.

The Vibration problem is Real

Just spent close to 30,000 dollars on my first brand new car and one day into owning it noticed the vibration problem at idle. I am so disappointed and feel Honda and the dealerships are scamming consumers. They don't yet have a fix and are not telling potential buyers about this problem. I would have definitely bought a different car had I read the consumer reviews (not the biased corporate reviews) prior to purchasing. Having owned a reliable and smooth operating Accord for 13 years, I trusted the brand and the dealership. A Honda loyalist no more. Major disappointment.

The vibrations at a stop while in gear with the brake in is just too much for me to ignore. Honda will tell you it has something to do with the engine and transmission combo... It simply isn't true. Fact 1 - If I am stopped, in drive, with the brake pushed in, the car idle drops and the car vibrates horribly. Fact 2 - If I am stopped, in drive, with the EMERGECY BRAKE on, and my foot off the brake, the vibration STOPS and the RPMs go up. I try to tell Honda this has something to do with the power brake system pulling power from the engine, but they won't hear it. Mark my words, they will figure it out someday, and the issue will be with the power brake system. Besides the vibration issue the engine is underpowered from a stop. I find myself dropping it into low to get moving sometimes. As far as negatives there are two others. First the plastic on the door jam and in the trunk is not of good quality the first time you step on it or slide something across it there will be scratches. My last complaint is with the Bluetooth. When playing songs or podcast the play and pause button on the screen works when they want to. When making phone calls the dial by name feature is terrible. Sometimes I would try to dial by name and it would just dial some random numbers. I just use my phone's dial by name feature which works perfectly now. My overall opinion is that I would not buy another Honda. Despite complaining about the vibration every time I brought it in for service and being assured that I would be called as soon as a fix was made I still have not been called by Honda. A couple of positive notes... when locking the doors with the key fob there is no horn sound. There is just a nonintrusive tone that sounds and even that can be turned off. Also, after 25 months of use I just got my first warning that my key fob battery was getting weak. The notice was displayed on the dash and was much appreciated since it would have been very inconvenient to have the battery die and find out the hard way.

Transmission Failure

I purchases this vehicle in August of 2015. I put roughly 3,300 miles on it. While driving it on December 12 the transmission failed and I was stuck on the side of the Hwy waiting 4 hours for a tow truck. The dealer replaced the transmission and I was able to pick up my vehicle yesterday December 29th. On the way home I noticed a couple odd sounds while driving at highway speeds (55-60 mph). I now have about 3,400 miles on the car so it will be interesting to see if the transmission simply needs a break in period or if I will experience this trouble again. I love everything else about the vehicle, I am just hoping that it will be reliable from this point forward.

Honda Canada video acknowledges vibration issue

Today I received from my dealer a new Honda video (You Tube) acknowledging the vibration issue. Contrary to what the video mentions (vibrations mostly in the seats), I get them in the steering wheel as well. Video says: . happens at 2200 rpm and under . They are investigating the issue and will advise when and if a product upgrade is available. I am glad they are working on this but disappointed they released a model which to me is seriously flawed. We've had ours since November and the vibration issue has gradually worsened. I do not enjoy driving the vehicle.
