issue with ANC - no known fix

A few days before this past Christmas I moved from an Altima lease to a ’18 Accord EX lease. I ended up paying a little more than what I wanted but was happy with the vehicle features. Unfortunately, immediately (let me note that I accepted the vehicle with less than 10 miles on it) I began having an issue with the vehicle. At certain speeds (mainly the normal traveling speeds), there will be a consistent, high pitch feedback / vibration from the speakers. It is an unmanageable noise. When I raise the radio volume past a certain setting the noise will cease. If I have others in the car, this is a major nuisance as nobody can hear anyone else. I have had the car checked by one of your service technicians (who had been helpful to date) and was notified that this is an issue with the Automatic Nosie Canceling (ANC) system. Most disappointingly, I was notified by the technician that this is a known issue with the ’18 Accords and that there is NO KNOWN FIX. And the issue apparently is worse in cold weather. I brought the vehicle back for a second repair as there was a procedure that he wanted to execute as recommended by engineering. Unfortunately, that procedure did nothing to remedy the situation. I was instructed that my only options at this point are to drive with an open window (as that disables the ANC) or unplug the ANC (but not know are the potential negative downstream implications). The service department also said, engineering at some point will have a fix and basically I just need to deal with it.

Best Car I Have Owned

I bought a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T Manual in July. It has been fabulous. I was attracted to the Accord because of the availability of the manual transmission and upgraded engine combination, unique among sedans today. I came from a premium brand, so the Sport trim didn't have all the features I would prefer (if only the Touring came with the manual!), but since owning it, I am very pleased. The active safety features work very well, and the infotainment is easy to use. Fuel economy is excellent, as is the performance. Great value for money, too! I would recommend this car to anyone.

30-Year Owner

It's larger than my previous 2016 Accord. Noticeable improvements over the 2016. The electronics and safety enhancements were greatly improved. For a baseline model, it has a lot of whistles and bells.

Love this car.

Bought the car for my wife. It handles really good, is fun to drive and has great tech in it. Got a great deal from Russell & Smith Honda in Houston.

car with harsh drive and not reliable

This car has a lot of tech features but they are not working as it should be - front sensors work at very close distance - less then 20 centimeters, collision mitigation system from time to time throws error message and disconnect cruise control, 10 speed transmission change gears at low speed with heavy sock and so on.

Nice Car For The Money

I traded in my mint condition 2013 Accord EX to purchase a (Pearl White) Touring 1.5T with 30 miles on July 15, 2018. I used my credit union car buying service to purchase the car so I really got a great discount price. I really like the car and can honestly say that there is no challenge to the Touring's features for a car in its price range. The car has performed nicely so far except that I experienced a problem with the forward facing camera and Collision Mitigation system within the first month. The dealership took care of the issues and I haven't had any other problems since. To summarize, I chose the 1.5T vs 2.0T after testing driving both. I felt that the 1.5 offers sufficient horse power to meet my needs. Most of all, I wasn't willing to pay an additional two thousand plus dollars for the extra horse power option. All other features on both engine versions are the same. Hey, the 1.5 does the job just fine for me, as it is quite potent and holds it own as far as I'm concerned. The only downside of the engine is that it does exhibit a prevalent and persistent turbo lag during city driving which can be downright annoying at times. The other negative I've grown to despise is that the cabin noise is also quite annoying (but tolerable) while driving on certain road surfaces, both in the city and on the highway. I accept that Honda's flagship line does not perform on the same plane as more expensive car makes as far as noise is concerned. At the same time, the features it offers put some expensive cars to shame considering what it offers for less than thirty thousand dollars. I actually researched the noise issue before buying the car. Therefore, I knew that road noise is just a characteristic of low-profile tires. Honda went all out to reduce the effects of using low-profile tires by equipping the Touring with Michelin's top-of-line Primacy line. The bottom line is that I am quite pleased with what the Touring offers overall. I stand by my belief that there aren't many cars in the $30,000.00 price range that can compete with the Touring's features and performance. I'm a happy camper so far.
