I have had my Honda Accord, the red one as a matter a fact, since November. I was able to either disengage several of the features which seem to take over when I drive my vehicle. Now, I have noticed two things which have happened more than once, recently several times.
My vehicle excelerates without my actually stepping actively on the gas to speed it up. I mean, it revs up and speeds up for no apparent reason and my foot has not changed in pressure on the gas pedal.
Secondly, my headlights delayed in turning off in the daylight on a sunny day. Once, I had gone to a car wash and know one reason for that one might have been my car thought the car wash and the soap etc. was dusk or darkness and they automatically came on as my setting is automatic. However, once out of the car wash and upon driving more than a mile, they were still on and only turning them completely off and then back on did the headlight icon turn off. The other condition is that several times on a perfectly sunny clear day without clouds the headlights turned on as if dusk or dark. After it did it a couple times, called the service department of the dealer where my vehicle was purchased and was told sometimes it is the way the sun hits the camera which turns them on. At least once (lights on automatic) they would not turn off and I ended up turning them off completely and turn the knob back on and to automatic and they turned off. Now, these might very well be glitches. I think I have a bit over 2000 miles on it right now.
Simply, I wanted to know whether any of this has happened to anyone else and also the Service Department person's explanation makes any sense to anyone? Unless I can anticipate these two things happening, I was told there is nothing which can be done. (Service person said to me).
