2023 Hybird any issues or problems

I know it is early but wondered if anyone that got their 2023 Hybird is having any issues or problems? Folks here usual advise against first year of a new generation so checking to see if anything is popping up.

Thanks!

nothing major, occasionally my phone (a pixel 6) will refuse to connect.
My hood needs adjusting. Otherwise nothing. Lovin it ! 1400 miles 51 MPG. Smooth and solid.

I only have 200 miles but I am at like 36 mpg. Mostly city driving too. I will give it some time but I was expecting that 45-50 range! I am NOT a "hypermiler" though...I am still loving the smooth power and so I tend to do some 'cellerating every time I drive!

I have to slam the hood really hard to get it to latch. Yes I will have the dealer adjust it.
@ EXLtimes2, I am impressed by the 23 Touring I purchased. Currently at 600 miles and almost 5 weeks of ownership.
on my second tank of fuel and it is at 44.5 mpg avg with mixed driving, so spot on the window sticker estimates. 40.0 mpg avg since new.
This is my first hybrid vehicle and I must say that I am smitten by the buttery smoothness of the hybrid drive. The transition from internal combustion to EV drive is imperceptible (and visa versa) at any speed. IMO Honda engineers nailed it.
The only thumbs down I have is with the D015 error, pertaining to the over the air system updates. Told a fix is in the works, but who knows if there ever will be anything? I suppose this is minor, and does not affect any driveabiltiy/functionality, yet, it is not expected!
I’ve had a 23 Touring for the better part of a week now. Put 600 miles on it, averaging 51mpg with mostly city driving. The ONLY complaints I have with it is the TT06 OTA error code and there seems to be some kind of trim piece or latch under the upholstery on the driver-side door that causes a rattling sound when driving over textured surfaces.

We just picked up our EX-L 17 inch wheel model from the dealer. My wife drove it home 8 miles of mild small town city traffic and and 9 miles of 40-50 mph country roads. The trip meter red 49.9. Our previous cars were doing well if they got half that mileage. We are retired and don't drive much so it doesn't really matter, but was fun to see it get that kind of mileage. From what I have read highway driving at 70 mph are getting around 40 with the 19" wheel models.

I'm about 15% into my third tank and am getting just under 40mpg. That's with about 30-35% 75mph+ mixed in there. I haven't been using sport mode...tried it a few times but just mostly normal and econ. I just drive normally to see what the car can do with my habits. Overall I'm very happy with it for it's daily driver/work car purpose. No issues noticed yet except my hood looks very slightly misaligned on one side. I'll ask the dealer about it when I get my first service. If I could have got it for about $3k-$4k cheaper it would be the perfect car at that price but I get it with the current sellers market.

I started getting some rattling in the driver dash area around 600 miles, now at 1100 miles it's still there although I must be getting used to it as I don't find it as annoying or noticable as I once did.
Three weeks old, 2000 miles. Coming home from first trip, great mileage (50 plus). The bad, driving 70 mph on the interstate, got a check engine light and warning message (emissions problem may lose some power take to dealer). The vehicle started slowing till we got off the interstate. Slowed to 47 mph. When we stopped at the exit to find a place to park it would not accelerate above 19 mph. Called Honda roadside assistance and had it towed the the nearest dealer. After waiting 1.5 hours we were towed to the dealer where they attempted to diagnose it working with Honda. Cleared codes per instructions from Honda and road tested. No codes set. Honda instructed to return car to us. We were 120 miles from home and made it home without any additional issues. I no longer trust the vehicle for a trip. NOT ACCEPTABLE!

My neighbor purchased an Accord/non hybrid a few years ago. Three weeks later the same happened to him, except all the lights on his dash came on and the car just wouldn't start. Had it towed to a dealer and basically the service manager told him that he is seeing a lot new Hondas having this same issue. My neighbor was told that Honda was using a lot of recycled batteries and now with almost everything in the car that needs battery power the recycled battery just would not hold up. The dealer replaced the battery and has been good.
over 5000 miles in around 2 months of ownership. Averaging around 42mpg but it's mostly all highway miles. If I an putzing around town, I get over 50mpg then. Only issues I have is the hood does sit a little higher towards the windshield but not impacting it opening and closing and a creaking sound from the rear passenger area that I haven't isolated enough yet to take it for. My earlier carplay not showing up at all for two days went away.
Sounds like they need to fire the hood guy.

I am a little perplexed why I have a 37 mpg average with nearly all City driving when I should be at 50. In EXL
Maybe breaking in period? How many miles have you clocked? On my particular Touring I am at 651 miles covered in 5 weeks of ownership, and the second tank of fuel (210mi on the trip meter) is averaging 44 mpg. So right on the figures.

What mileage does your V-6 get under the same conditions? Not all city driving is the same, maybe your city is not as amenable to hybrids.
