In owners’ own words

Other 15,500 mi 4 mo in service
ON A NUMBER OF OCCASION, BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVING IN TOWN, THE ADAPTIVE COLLISION CONTROL SYSTEM HAS SIGNALED "BRAKE" WHILE ABRUPTLY APPLYING THE BRAKES EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO OBSTRUCTION ANYWHERE NEAR THE FRONT OR SIDES OF MY VEHICLE, IN ONE CASE NEARLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO COLLIDE WITH MY VEHICLE.
Other 17,000 mi 9 mo in service
WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A LOUD POW LIKE A GUNSHOT. NEXT THING I KNOW MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD SUN ROOF SHATTERED AND EXPLODED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AROUND 70MPH. THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS FLEW INTO MY CAR AS WELL AS FLEW DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT SCRATCHED THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE TRUNK.
Other 2,453 mi 10 mo in service
A FEATURE OF THE CAR IS TO SCAN ROAD SIGNS AND DISPLAY SOME ON THE DASHBOARD, SUCH AS SPEED LIMIT. I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 100 AND THE CAR DISPLAYED THE SPEED LIMIT AS 100 MPH. IT DID THIS TWICE, IN APPROXIMATELY THE SAME SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY, ONCE NORTHBOUND AND ONCE SOUTHBOUND. THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS IN MOTION, BUT THE DISPLAY LINGERED LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO SNAP A PICTURE AT A STOP LIGHT. NOTE: THE OWNER'S MANUAL ADMONISHES DRIVERS TO KEEP THE SCANNERS CLEAN. BUT I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALER ON 7/23/19, AND KEPT IT IN A GARAGE OVERNIGHT. IT WAS PRISTINE.
Electrical system 700 mi 5 mo in service
WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A ROAD WITH SPEED LIMIT OF 45, SOMEHOW, THE SYSTEM WAS SHOWING THE SPEED LIMIT AS 90 MPH. IT HAPPENED ONLY ONCE.
