Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
While using Adaptive Cruise Control the Collision Mitigation Braking System turns off with no rhyme or reason. This happens often ... 5 to 10 times per month depending upon how many miles I use the car that month. The speed of the car doesn't matter. When the CMBS turns off, the ACC also does not function. The only way to reset is to restart the car. This has happened ever since I purchased the car (new in 2018) but happens more often as time passes. I've reported this to the dealer twice. The first time I was told that the camera lens are probably dirty. (I've thoroughly cleaned the lens to no avail.) The second time the dealer updated the software. That did not solve the problem. The car has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealer. Warning lamps and messages appear when the CMBS goes out.

SEATS
Potential Consequences:
The construction of the driver’s seat in this 2018 Honda Accord is poorly made.There is not enough padding in the seat to protect the body from the mechanical steel inner workings of the seat. I can feel the inner workings of the seat when I drive this car. I previously owned a Honda CRV and I know that this is NOT normal. The CRV was and still is a very comfortable vehicle as our daughter now owns it. There would not be any protection for the driver of this 2018 Honda Accord upon impact with another vehicle. Now I know why this vehicle had only 5161 miles on it when we purchased it July 12, 2021. It is THAT uncomfortable. I only drive it to the grocery store and back. I suspect that was the case with the previous owner as well. Otherwise, this car looks to be in pristine condition as it obviously was garage kept and still is garage kept. It feels like a jalopy.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Starter Problems. Car was slow to crank/start. Thought it was the battery. Had the battery and alternator checked and they are good. It was diagnosed as a bad starter. More than $1,000 to replace. In more than 40 years of driving, I’ve never had to replace a starter. Especially in a 3 year old car. A quick check of the internet says this is a common problem, unique with series of Honda’s. This quick developing problem can leave you stranded. Bad design. Honda should cover their design flaws.
