Night Hawk Motors is an entertainment channel based on Motorsports, Cars, Trucks, and Off Road Vehicles. I will be posting up new content that is relevant and irreverent in the motoring scene, basically anything today's gear heads would enjoy watching. Stay Tuned!
UPDATE: So grateful for having found your video, my daytime running light replacement is nice and shiny! P.S. the dealer told me there wasn't a recall on the light, so I "informed" him about the extended warranty by Honda. Is it possible he really didn't know about it? Hmm... Thanks again!
Nice video, thanks. But remember yeild is VERY different than merge. Yield means to "Yield" to oncoming drivers, not "merge" into traffic. I see this mistake happening all the time.
When I drive my 2023 ridgeline and hit the (-) shifter it downshifts to like 3 or 4th gear really whining the motor instead of dropping 1 or 2 gears it jumps alot gears.
This is totally new to me. So there is NO pushing a clutch in to change the gear? No chance of stalling the engine out of letting off the clutch too soon? Sorry to sound ignorant here, but again, this is all new to me and I am looking at the newer Accords right now.
The CVT is a belt driven transmission like a snowmobile or side by side. The computer controls the clutch engagement and the pulley ratios. Then these transmissions have programming and paddle shifters that allows you to have simulated (gears) by holding specific predetermined pulley ratios.
Damn bubbu. It ain't a 2017 corvette sting ray or a Rolls Royce phantom lol 😆. Its a nice simple clean and most definitely reliable and dependable vehicle. Unlike others. In my person opinion ,its a nice car. Nice power for being a 4 banger. 💯
Our Mitsubishi Outlander has this. I just feel like brake pads are alot less expensive to replace than a CVT transmission so other than slowing down without using the brakes I'm not sure I see any other reason to use manual mode. I guess it can be fun if you're bored like he said in the video. Seems to me like it's a good way to mess up your transmission.
The transmission will go through these same motions when accelerating or decelerating. Keeping the fluid changed is a much bigger deal than using these features.
I pretty much have the same car (16 Accord Touring V6 sedan) and it came with the Cont Sports as well and I’ve been using these (Sumis) since my TL before the Accord and every time the road noise starts to creep up. I feel like it starts around 3k-5k miles. Have you noticed this as well? It’s time for me to get new ones and these have gone up a lot. I paid 515 for these a couple years ago and now imma have to shell out closer to $850. I might the get the Hankooks since they are pretty close in price. Big fan of these tires. No issues except for the noise 🤔
Honestly the noise was there when new but went away after they broke in. Maybe a wheel bearing? I had a 2006 tl with bad wheel bearings that were noisy.
@@NightHawkMotors I think it’s probably just a side effect from how they’re made. The bearings on the TL maybe but my Accord has just under 60k miles on it and I put these on at or around 37k miles in late 2021.
Es una lastima para mi porque es un carro bonito,trato de no pensar mucho en esas vibraciones.mi próximo auto después de este será un toyota definitivamente es mejor que honda
I have a 2017 Honda Accord with the same problems and I think it is definitely the CVT transmission, it vibrates more when I am stopped at a traffic light, that is, in drive mode.
@@NightHawkMotors yeah that would be really helpful. There’s a lot of people who don’t know how to use them, but since they are cool people wanna learn
I don't agree with this video at all. I have 2 Honda accords. Same engine one is a 6 speed manual and the other is automatic. My six speed manual has more torque than the automatic and it's pretty fast for a four door family sedan. These cars are incredibly reliable. Everything you are complaining about is not that big. A deal. if you want a car that drives like it cost a $100000. Then you should have bought a hundred thousand dollar car. For the price of these cars they are excellent reliable vehicles.
Any rust under your drivers seat and steering shaft? Noticed yesterday while changing the rubber pedals.. driver seat metal looks bad. (Just bought a 21 Accord LX last month).
My sincerest appreciation for you taking the time to make this video for others. I just purchased in May 2023 a gently used 2017 E3 4matic with 20,000 miles on it. this is my first snow in Maryland of 4 inches today. I watched your video before I went off to work and felt confident driving in the eco-mode.
Interesting different language US to UK where we would use the highest gear 5 or 6 to keep revs down on fast roads and change down to lower gears for hills or to accelerate from stand still in 1st gear.
I have a 2017, just had a cold air intake installed 3 months ago, runs better. I'm happy with it, some people criticize the 17' but i didn't wanna go turbo
@NightHawkMotors Right, I agree, and listening to Scotty kilmer channel that I discovered this year, thank goodness back in 19' well honestly I was trying to watch enough vids on the 18' and 19' Accord, and saw that they were having alot of problems with the turbo engine. So in 19' I decided to look for a 17'
@@jclar7210 Exactly, they were having a thing called gas blow-by which thins the oil and causes multiple issues. 61k on mine and zero issues. How is yours holding up?
@NightHawkMotors Right! I have 42k miles, just had some stuff done this year like the coolant, spark plugs etc, it's great, I like it. When I first got it I liked but at the same time worried about the 19' wheels, because of winter here in the Midwest, but I realized that they hold up good
Thank you so much I just called Honda and asked them about that like cause it went out on my car on my hybrid accord 2017 and the guy was like no we don’t cover it’s only three years coverage on those parts and I said wait a second I just saw something online referring to your video and then the guys like oh hold on and he’s like oh yeah you’re right we do covered. Thank God if I didn’t watch your video I would’ve been paying a lot of money so Thank you. I would’ve had no clue and when I called up it doesn’t seem like they would’ve told me.
I just called the Honda dealership about this issue. They ran my VIN and said my model wasn't covered. I drive a 2016 Accord LX. Any help would be appreciated.
The v6 was like an extra 8k not worth the increase in price and all of the extra features. The 2.4l is ok, but has been solid for the 6 years of ownership.
