What owners say about the visibility/wiper
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“I owned a 2018 Honda Accord,i got it new from the dealership so im the only owner of this vehicle. my headlights keep building condensations prematurely causing them to fail . I have already replaced multple headlights because of this . also when the bulbs go out honda made it where the bulbs can not be replaced at all. these headlights cost close to $1000 each plus 500 in labor to installed. theres should be a recall for this as its costing me soo much money . I hoping we must hold accountability to its highest level so consumer dont have suffer like this. Thank you so much for reading!”
“The sunroof spontaneously exploded while traveling at 50mph. Was not a rock. The sound was extremely distracting and could easily cause a wreck, especially if the sunroof visor was open. Could also cause bodily harm.”
“The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated the turn signal lights, the trunk, the Lane Departure, Forward Collision Avoidance, and the LKAS failed to be displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V771000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION, VISIBILITY/WIPER, VISIBILITY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 133,000.”
“I was driving on [XXX] when my sunroof glass exploded. I was not around any other cars when this incident happened. Thankfully I had my sunroof visor closed. Had it not been for that; glass would have poured all over me and possibly caused me to have a bad wreck or worse; lose my life. I filed a claim that same day with my insurance company, only to get the run around and be told that they possibly won’t cover it due to they deeming it a mechanical failure. I was not operating the sunroof at all at the time of the incident so there was no mechanical failure. I had full insurance coverage at the time of the incident. I have sent in pictures and a full description to my insurance adjuster. The car itself has not been inspected by anyone other than myself. I would like this matter resolved immediately.”
“I contacted a Nissan dealer regarding a repair matter concerning a safety recall for the fuel pump module. It seems that the vehicle is encountering stalling issues, which could potentially increase the likelihood of accidents or injuries, potentially resulting in fatalities. I was informed that Honda does not currently have the necessary part and regrettably, they are unable to schedule the repair until August. There were no indications or alerts before the failure occurred. This is my primary mode of transportation.”
“Window cracked on lower left side. Car parked in garage. Came back from work to find 12 inch crack in windshield that did not exist when I parked the car. No signs of impact. Appears to be stress crack without any cause other than a design flaw with the car. Lots of other reports of similar incidents with this model online.”
