[Accord Sport 2.0T]

My brand new 2018 Accord lit up like a Christmas tree this Tuesday 2/20/18. Running rough. No acceleration. Dealer called and said they’d be changing MAF sensor. Went to pick up today. Got in the car and drove 70 feet. Got out and walked back in and asked for loaner key back. “I’m not taking this car. You need to check the coil pack ASAP.” Car is running lean. It smells. My favorite is that the dealership told me, “we did a 15 mile test drive.” In which I replied. Whoever test drove that car and thought nothing was wrong should be let go of their position. He came outside and smelled the exhaust. He gave me loaner key back. Idk what’s going on but this is frightening. Not even a month old. I’ve got just under 3k miles.

Beautiful car. Awesome engine. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Man that sucks. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. If problem keeps arising and they can't fix it, it could be a lemon. I would tell them to plug in a OBD2 scanner and see what codes they are getting at least.

Wow can't believe you are having problems like that on a brand new Accord. Think its the first time on here we've seen someone report such issues. It's a good thing you are so attentive as it seems like you could've driven off the lot and caused who knows what kind of damage to the car. Keep us updated on its status, as I'm sure many other owners will be curious on what's causing the problems. And you weren't kidding about the Christmas tree..my lord.

Seems like you know more than the dealership does when you can tell it's running lean and they can't...Thanks for letting us know and hopefully it's a one off problem and not a widespread one requiring a recall. IF they fail three times, that's grounds for the lemon law or a new Accord.

Hey guys.

Got a call on Friday. Was told they’d be changing the turbo charger hose.......

I believe there is more that just one hose associated to any given turbo. I think the dealership and Honda Corporate are trying to be as brief as they possibly can be.

I’m really concerned at this point. I hope it gets fixed. Part won’t be in until this Tuesday 2/27. That will be one entire week without vehicle.

I will be calling Honda again to update claim I’ve made with them on first attempt.

1st attempt: MAF Sensor.
2nd attempt: turbo charger service aka: hose(s)?

We’ll see.

I am currently driving a civic EX-T w/1.5t. Nice car no doubt but cvt is miserable. Also Friday evening a pothole ran out in front of me. I slammed right into it. Got a flat. Bought new tire today. $170 bucks.

I’m having a blast

Interesting. Do you believe this would have caused the rough idling and exhaust smell? Truly feel as though engine is misfiring. We shall see. Appreciate that info. Repairs are in the hands of the dealership and Honda Corporate is involved. Hope this isn't a Monday car.

It's not getting better.

Hey everybody.
Stopped by dealership today. They are my clients. Following up with service manager for integration of my companies services... everything is going great than BAM! - he hits me with the news, "Your vehicle has been in an accident."

WHAT??!

He explains that one of the workers; while parking the vehicle hit another vehicle? Anyway. I've attached the image below. They are sending my vehicle to the body shop now. The part for the turbo charger will be in tomorrow 2/27/18. I'm really speechless. I will say that everyone at the dealership has been taking care of me since the beginning and I know they are not happy about this either. Service manager assured me that vehicle would be taken care of and that they'd be sending it to the best body shop.

Moving forward the entire driver side door needs to be replaced.

What do you guys think? Should I ask any specific questions? This is a lease vehicle... though I wanted the option to purchase at the end of term, however, now I'm not too sure I want too.

I hope they fix the engine problem and I hope the body repairs come out right. Everyone keeps telling me, "It's just a car." "It will be fixed" but my thing is; it's my car. If it was your car idk how'd you react but I believe I'm not wrong in saying that this isn't okay. A brand new car less than 3k miles - goes in for service. MAF sensor replaced - doesn't solve problem. Turbo hose ordered(part on the way) - Someone crashed my vehicle damaging the driving door.... it can't close. It's bent on the frame.

I'm rambling. I just want to be sure I'm not being taken advantage of. This car was an expensive buy for me. 35k after taxes. Tomorrow will make it a week without it. IDK how long it will take to get repaired then theres the situation with the engine. This whole experience has left me feeling sour towards the car and the brand.

Thanks for all your help guys.
