2016 Honda Accord
Engine not specified
| 2900 mi | Every time the car was turned off, the clock reset itself to 12AM. Honda spent 5 hrs diagnosing it and determined the entire $895(Parts) + $150(Labor) 'Infotainment' system needed replacement which was covered under warranty. |

| 61000 mi US $300 |
During the pandemic, I let the vehicle sit too long without driving it. After that, I had trouble getting the battery to hold a charge so I replaced it. I choose to put in a fancy AGM battery vs. a traditional lead-acid battery as it was more powerful, lighter, and came with a much better warranty. I also paid almost double the price. An experiment. |
| 10000 mi | LED DRL failure. Replaced entire headlight module on right side. Battery died after 14 months |
| 12500 mi | Driver's side LED DRL failed. Entire light module replaced. |
| 39000 mi | Passenger DRL failed. Replaced under extended warranty. |
| 18000 mi | Battery started losing charge randomly at 18 months old. Replaced for free at Honda Dealer. Bad luck...otherwise, car is great! No oil burned. |
| 5300 mi | remotes not working properly. Not connecting to car (unlocking, starting) consistently and trunk not sensing remote. A fix has not been found. Battery replacement was the only attempt made. The problem was observed and recognized. Update, July 2017: Honda is clueless. I'll have to go through a long process of analysis, diagnostics, incremental trials... so living with it. Until I get really bored or motivated |
| 21000 mi | Driver's side LED running lights out/failure. Will take to dealer when have time and try to get replaced / fixed under extended warranty. I've seen other same year accords driving around with the exact same issue. |

2016 Honda Accord 4dr Sedan
189-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD
| 53400 mi | After driving car for 60 days, it suddenly had no electricity throughout vehicle. Battery was checked as were fuses and all came back in good order. My mechanic eliminated the starter and alternator and doubted that it was the neutral safety switch. I went back to the dealer where I purchased the car (used lot) and they took TOTAL control of the situation. The salesman who sold me the car sent a tow truck and just took care of it as if it were his personal car. Toyota of Newnan's service is fantastic, but service after the sale is even better! The problem turned out to be the ground wire leading from the engine bay to the cabin had "gone bad" is what I was told and it was replaced at no charge. My car runs just as it should once again. Thanks Toyota of Newnan! |

| 94000 mi | Recall stage 2 of 2. Battery monitor sensor replaced by TSB notice and recall. The new sensor monitor is water proof, the old one was not and would short out and cause a fire. Kinda funny that the sensor that monitors the battery to prevent fires... causes a fire itself. |
