Consumer Description
THE HOOD ON THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (NOT A LITTLE, BUT SIGNIFICANTLY). TWO SEPARATE BODY SPECIALISTS TRIED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT WHICH RESULTED IN SLIGHTLY BETTER FIT, BUT STILL, THE HOOD VIBRATES (AGAIN, NOT A LITTLE, BUT AN UNSETTLING AMOUNT) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HONDA ALREADY HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PILOT MODEL'S HOOD: HTTPS://HONDA.OEMDTC.COM /711/HOOD-FLUTTER-OR-VIBRATION-AT-HIGHWAY-SPEEDS-2016-2019-HONDA-PILOT-2017-2019-RIDGELINE AND NOW, 2018+ OWNERS ARE STARTING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HOOD STABILITY AT HIGHER SPEEDS AS WELL. WHEN I HAD INITIALLY RAISED THE ISSUE WITH AMERICAN HONDA, THEY IGNORED IT (AND, AS THEY ALWAYS DO, TOLD ME TO GO TO THE DEALER). SINCE THEN, HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING TO TRULY ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. AN INVESTIGATION (AND A POSSIBLE RECALL) SHOULD BE INITIATED.
