hey this is the story of my ownership of my 2018 2.0T10AT Touring
So i purchased this car in early January of 2018 it looked great it was my first new car (huge upgrade from my 2000 camry). I purchase this new car with a few upgrades (sport grill, illuminated door sills, security system, warranty) for 40k out the door. everything seemed great but literally as im driving it home the tire pressure light comes on. the next day i check all of them are over pressure around 42psi so i bring them to where theyre suppose to be and i did the re calibration procedure described in the manual. light stays on. i go to the dealer they say nothing is wrong we reset something and its fine now. ok
things were fine after that except the paddle shifters never let me rev the car high before changing out of manual mode and up shifting. the car is great otherwise until i was doing 50mph on a highway and suddenly a bunch of warning messages come up on my display (RDM sys, auto high beam, tranny sys, tpms message and light, brake sys message and light, power steering message and light, stability assist, AAC, collision mitigation, hill start assist,and check engine light).i have this on video but i was able to drive no problem. i get home turn the car off and back on everything is ok. nothing looks wrong. but i take it to the dealer they say nothing is wrong they reset something i should be ok.
24 hours later the same thing happens except this time i lost all power. i pull over turn the car off and make sure theres no leaks everything seemed fine. back tot the dealer they say they need to troubleshoot it after 5 hours of waiting someone comes out and asks me if i could get a ride home. i was furious i was like wtf are you talking about my brand new car is my ride home they told me theyre still working on it and they still dont know whats wrong. so eventually they buy me a rental a 2018 sonata. at least carplay worked in that with no issue.
as im taking my rental home they call me to tell me something inside the transmission failed either electronically or mechanically but honda corporate doesnt want us to open the tranny case. they want it to see exactly where the problem is for research so youre going to get a new tranny. so after a week i get my car back with a new tranny and the car seems perfect since its been 4000 miles with it and its been good with no problems.
i felt it was unfair that my new car had this failure not to mention carplay and front parking sensor issues. so i put in a claim with NCDS to which after weeks of negotiating honda paid me 8k to drop the case. since then all my carplay issues were fixed with an update and when the parking sensors freak out i just turn them off.
Tl;dr: got a 2018 2.0t10AT for 40k and after 1,700 miles tranny failed in some way. honda paid me 8k to not get a replacement and stay with the repaired car amd ive been happy with that decision since the car is great otherwise.
