A rattle noise is sometimes heard coming from the heads-up display on top of the dash while driving. The service department was able to duplicate the sound. They disassembled the dash and added additional foam.
The noise is still present however, so I'll be bringing the car in again next week. There's also a slight hood misalignment which I'll bring to their attention as well. Brought car to dealer and they added more foam. The problem appears to have been fixed, but will need to wait until colder weather to see if the issue resurfaces.
300 mi
The hood is not aligned well. It seems to only affect early production cars because all of the new ones I see looks good. I should have inspected the exterior better and rejected this one. It doesn't affect the functionality of the car. The silver paint makes the difference in gap between the left and right side more obvious than a darker color would have. The dealer will not fix it because it is within the tolerances allowed by Honda.

Chrome trim on front door handles was peeling, replaced under warranty.
Due to extremely cold weather, I found that when I hit the brake pedal and then the gas pedal, a clunking sound was heard from beneath the dash. When the car was test driven, the tech was unable to hear the noise. Subsequently, I went for a ride with him and the noise was nearly inaudible. Talking to the tech afterwards, he concluded that it was cold related and since the car was in the heated service department for about 1/2 hour before driving it, it has warmed up to the extent that the problem "disappeared". I'll take it in again when it's cold and make sure that the car remains outside so it won't warm up too much. Update - the tech did some additional sound insulation work (tape and/or foam) and since then (about April 2019) I haven't experienced the noise regardless of temperature. So I consider the problem fixed.
5900 mi
I did a fair amount of bitching about the fact that service could not find (or even hear) the sound. I kept bringing the car in to have this problem looked at again. The one tech had said during a test drive that he did hear the sound and they finally put him on the job. I left the car for a day and he put insulating foam everywhere under the dash that he thought could be causing the noise. My perseverance finally paid off, as the effort by this
particular tech finally got rid of the noise. I don't know exactly where he used the foam and I didn't really care since I was just glad that the problem was solved. Since then, I've been able to enjoy the benefits of Honda's major effort at improving sound insulation of the 2018 Accord... the car is amazingly quiet, far quieter than any Accord that I had previously owned.

Trunk opens by itself for no reason. Reported to dealer and to Honda several times, no resolution. Other owners have the same problem with this model. This problem went away on its own in about Aug of 2017 or so, I suspect it was due to external RF interference. This indicates a design problem by Honda, need better shielding or use of different frequencies or codes.
Trunk misaligned from the factory and has to be adjusted.
Trim piece below screen had a loose corner, which caused an intermittent rattle. Repaired by prying piece, sticking electrical tape to underside, and re-seating.

The Rear deck area had a metal on metal loud squeaking sound while driving. Finally was diagnosed as misaligned un-welded parts of the body which were rubbing together. TSB.
Dealership welded the parts together which solved the issue.
Sunroof was stuck open and would not close. Dealer took entire headliner down and dis-assembled the sunroof, removed the motor, manually closed the sunroof, and replaced the bad motor. Also disconnected power to sunroof so it cannot re-open. To replace the bad motor would have cost an extra $300. I never use the sunroof anyway, so I just had them put the bad motor back in.

Mask of catalytic converter detached, rattling - welded back on.
Performed body work including removing rust, repaired wheel well rust hole (filled and primered), sanded failing/chipped clear coat. All in preparation for painting.
