I’ve had my 2018 touring 2.0T for about two months now and there are a couple things that I’ve noticed that I’d like to share. Hopefully if anyone is thinking about buying a new Accord will find this helpful. I have a suspicion that I may have purchased a vehicle that maybe slipped through the cracks of the QA folks.
My issues are mainly with the body panels not quite lining up.
Maybe I’m nitpicking a little bit but for a 30k+car, that is top rated in just about every category, I’d expect it to be more buttoned up. I appreciate attention to detail and feel like Honda has missed the mark, at least on my vehicle.
Here are some things I’ve noticed:
-The corners of the hood, where they meet the c pillars don’t line up, there is a 1/4” offset right where the body lines are. It’s worse on the passenger side. I was able to push it a bit and re-align it but the seals don’t sit flush now.
- passenger rear door window trim is 1/4” off as well.
- drivers side door interior door handle is offset compared to the passenger side about 1/4”
- sound system extremely “tin sounding”
- compass disappears very often. I’ve reset the radio 3 times in 45 days.
- the hood vibrates like crazy. Right in the center, by the windshield.
Was wondering if anyone else has noticed these things.... is it just my particular vehicle?
Let me know your thoughts/suggestions.
