Our brand new 2019 honda accord, with about 1,000 miles on it, was involved in a front end motor vehicle collision on october 13, 2019 at 1:24 pm on a city street with a speed limit of 45 MPH. We struck a 2001 f250 at 45 MPH in the side after the individual failed to yield and stopped sideways directly in our lane of traffic. My honda received serious front end damage and the engine compartment was smoking, but not a single air bag deployed during this accident.

Reported at 83,000 miles, August 2024 CrashInjury

My reverse camera pulls up on the screen as I've been driving for well over 30 mins and my RPM gauge has went out and goes blank every other hour or so. Happened about 7 times this past month. Pretty dangerous because when the following car function is on it immediately stops works, I've swerved to avoid accidents. This is all happening as I drive

Reported at 10,000 miles, January 2020

"collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer." warning has appeared seven times in the 4,300 miles I have owned the car. When the system errors the emergency braking does not function, the adaptive cruise control does not function, and even the traditional cruise control will not set. Turning car off and one does reset the issue but it keeps appearing at random times when I drive the car.
