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!

I just had my hood adjusted and it closes properly now. I had the message on my dash that said UPDATE NOT AVAILABLE please see dealer. I think he said they did a factory reset and message is gone. He said it could return. Honda is working on a over the air fix and they would let me know when it is ready.
How did they adjust it? Did the have to take off the bumper and move the latch up?

thanks
I do have the HondaLink app and the free trial is activated. On a side note, I think I like it enough to pay for an additional year when the trial period is over.
I wonder how I could obtain an update through the app?

I just returned from the local dealer but no answers to my questions. Their suggestion was to keep the car connected to wifi as much as possible.
I saw ten 2023 Accords on the lot. Six of them were Lunar Grey
What do you like about the HondaLink App? Which plan are you looking at?

I like that your car can be found no matter where it is located, via GPS (in the event of theft?). Also ability to remote update, schedule service, remote start with ability to set climate, seat etc. Remote locking/unlocking. Schedule service. Some of these features are included for free but some of them are not. I cannot recall which are premium except for the ability to locate your car anywhere.

Isn’t the remote start and remote lock/unlock through the key fob already a feature built in?

Yes. The key fob can operate those functions within range, as well as sound horn, release the self opening trunk, and open all four windows and sunroof.

Yes but the HondaLink lets you do it through the app. For example, say you're parked in an open lot in some city or something... or an above ground garage and it's freezing outside. You can't use your fob to start your car and warm it up from your office cubicle two blocks away.... but you could use HondaLink if you are subscribing to it.

That being said, I'm not sure it's worth it.... but that's one example.

Thanks for the explanation.

Does everyone have this issue when try to locate the vehicle via hondalink. The issues happened when i bring the car to dealership, they able to update software. And i dont know what other things they did with the car b/c when I check hondalink, i noticed that they open the bumber and disconnect the battery something. Idk if they forget to plugin something. Idk either software issue or some modules did not connect correctly

23 Accord Hybrid touring with 300 miles. Water leaking through sunroof. Noticed it during a drive-thru car wash. Opened the inner sliding sun cover during the wash and felt water splash on my arm. After the wash I checked the backside of the sun cover which was all wet. I understand from other forums that Honda uses Drain tube in each corner in the channels for entering water to drain. Checked for seal alignment which looks to be fine. Had sunroofs on other manufacturers and never had this problem before. To me this is a possible design flaw because with proper gaskets and water channeling this should never happen. I never did like sunroofs, to me they're useless and this is the fear of having one that it could leak but I barely own this car less than 3 weeks now. Perhaps I have a problem in the drain tubes, I don't know. Now it's a trip back to the dealer, maybe they can figure it out. Disappointed to say the least.
Interesting. Out of my 10 other Hondas (from the 2001 Accord Coupe through the 2020 2.0 Touring) all of them had a sunroof. And not once did I detect a leak. Hopefully the dealer can fix the issue, but it's not the norm at all. Will pay close attention to mine now on my 2023 Touring!

Is it a high pressure drive-thru wash? I had a similar issue with an automated high pressure wash but I only felt a drop on my arm. The nozzles for the high pressure hoses just got too close to my roofline (about 6 inches or less) so I wasn't shocked when it happened because I had read this portion of the manual before it happened. I stopped using that car wash and just use my 1800 PSI pressure washer at home (no issues since). If you felt more of a leak as opposed to the couple of droplets that I felt then definitely get the seal checked.

Hay ty for the responce with the manual page regarding washing. The car wash is a drive-thru type car wash that has cascading and spray type water nozzles with spinning and hanging cloth strips that move back and forth. It's your typical drive-thru car wash. I have the premium car wash that adds a under vehicle spray, liquid multicolored foam wax and a rotating brush that spins and gives me a tire shine when it blows air to dry off the water. Today I went through it again and I had the Sun cover opened with my hands feeling all around where the channels that catch water and this time I had no water intrusion. So I'm a little baffled at what happened the other day with the amount of water that had entered through the sunroof somewhere. I did open and close numerous times to see if it was closing and opening properly right after I had all that water come in perhaps in doing so it may have sealed better. Anyway it did not happen this time. If it happens to me again I will take it into the dealers and if they find something or don't find something I will post back here until then I have no explanation other then it was a fluke.
