Honda parking brake switch failures

[@brenttitus2134]

If liquid got under there sure. But, if not and warranty denied from dust. That is some BS when you can hit it with compressed air to remove it.

[@BCautosolutions]

Dust won’t cause it to fail. Crumbs/liquids but mostly liquids

[@lamboboi352]

Can you do a video on how to replace this switch?

[@BCautosolutions]

It’s on the to do list

[@johntokar9387]

For a second I was like " oh no another head gasket video for a 1.5T Accord " ha ha . I try not to drink inside my car for that reason of ruining the push button .

[@BCautosolutions]

Lol the head gaskets are still happening, figured I’d cover other topics for a change. 👍🏻

[@scottlanier5133]

Should be covered because it's a stupid spot prone for that...make turn waterproof

[@BCautosolutions]

Or just don’t spill 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@BCautosolutions yes but come on. Sometimes crap happens and drinks slosh. It should be sealed

@@scottlanier5133 I get it, hate the location as well.

Sounds like a good scam for Honda to make more money by putting the PB near the cup holder.

Practically and long term thought process over all

[@bintha530]

The writers ant my dealership would find some way to cover that under warranty. Highway robbery I can fill my self getting screwed every day as a new tech

[@BCautosolutions]

Yep, writers get paid regardless, we get the short end of the stick every damn time

[@smokesgtp]

Sounds like you work at a good dealership that values their customers

[@smokesgtp]

​@@BCautosolutions I appreciate your perspective, and I'm not a slob w my 10th gen Accord shift buttons, but they shouldn't be so sensitive imo.

[@BCautosolutions]

@@smokesgtp they shouldn’t be, but some people have absolutely zero ability to be cautious and aware of the situation. In all my videos of the new cars I always talk about how it’s a horrible spot for that switch.

[@BCautosolutions]

@@smokesgtp they love to value customers that typically don’t deserve it. Aka if they complain enough, they will cover it even tho it shouldn’t be covered. That ends up screwing Honda and the tech. If there’s obvious liquid or food debri it’s not on Honda.

[@rasii3502]

Not for nothing. Was pressing down on the emergency brake or pulling it up so inconvenient?? Honda should move that.

[@BCautosolutions]

It’s all this tech push and to “free up space” they aren’t the only ones doing it. I don’t mind it, but dash placement would have been a much better spot.

[@BIGHAMZA]

Just traded in my ‘21 Honda Accord Sport after you scared me about the 1.5T engine. Just got a ‘22 Camry SE with 6,000 miles on it.

[@BCautosolutions]

Sorry or your welcome? 🤣

[@BIGHAMZA]

@@BCautosolutions Both 😂

[@gimne]

How do you like the Camry? I feel like it feels cheaper on the inside.

[@BIGHAMZA]

@@gimne I love it. I have slightly less headroom than in the Accord but I’m 6’3. The seats are way more comfortable in the Camry and the power delivery is excellent. The turning radius is better in the Camry and I have more room in the footwell in the Camry. Hip room goes to the Accord. Infotainment system I’d say the Honda is nicer and more user friendly but the sound system in the Accord is garbage. The Camry has a much better sound system. Inside materials in the Accord have more soft touch areas. But overall I know the Camry is a better car. The 8 speed transmission is butter smooth.

[@johnlopez3001]

And you don't have to worry about the 1.5L engine puking on you.

[@djoj1986]

On another subject. I have a 19 accord sport with 2.0t and 19in. Wheels with 49k. I have been noticing that the ride has been getting pretty hard. Mostly from the rear. I feel every bump on the road and driving over rough roads. I replaced my front struts and rear shocks with Tein endurapro Plus, Which are oem replacements with adjustable dampening. Original springs still being used. It feels better but I think my tires are the main problem they are also noisy. Is there anything else I can do to soften the ride?

[@BCautosolutions]

Yeah chances are the wheels could have some bends. You can try a higher profile tire to give you more cushion going over bumps.

[@msmarshall854]

A suggestion: go for lighterweight 17 inch wheels (with new tires of course)

[@Salehyya]

Is contact cleaner from CRC or other brands will do the job cleaning break buttons as well as shifting buttons on 2.0 accord . I got warning message few days a go shortly after spilling some coffee on them 😢. Code were P26C3:02

[@BCautosolutions]

Yeah it’s possible, worth a try I suppose 👍🏻

[@pilot2020]

This is why I bought a 2020 pilot exl so I won't have a electronic parking brake.worst invention ever next to the idle start stop

[@BCautosolutions]

They can have electronic parking brake, just have to find a better place for it. As far as vcm it’s not worth the potential headaches down the road I agree

[@pilot2020]

Is there a over ride for electronic parking if battery died.
I also sent you a email on your personal email if you havectime to check it out .f23accord2000

[@BCautosolutions]

@@pilot2020 no there isn’t unfortunately. I’ll check on that email 👍🏻👍🏻

[@pilot2020]

Wow surprised ,this is the reason I don't like the power ebake in case emergency you can't use it now

[@BCautosolutions]

@@pilot2020 yes, that’s becomes a major hassle!

[@GJames007]

What? The switches should never fail due to crumbs. If they are that’s Hondas fault in my opinion. Even spilling a little bit of coffee should be alright. Just like your switches on the door don’t fail when they get poured on when you have your door open.

[@BCautosolutions]

It’s not a little coffee, people spill it time and time again that leads to failure. Same thing can happen to the switches on the door.

[@Vinito]

Just don't drink in there. I have a mazda cx50 and the cup holders are all the way in front of the shifter and away from parking brake and auto hold, i guess that's why.

[@BCautosolutions]

Definitely a better spot

[@rickyeligio1674]

Is the 1.5 turbo motor in the SI having issues as well like the normal civic and accord? Or are the SI motors designed to be more robust?

[@BCautosolutions]

So my theory with the si is the owners typically are enthusiasts which will tend to use better octane fuel reducing the chances of pre detonation. So I’ve done 1 si. A few civics/crvs. The majority has been accords.

[@dannymiller7187]

@@BCautosolutionsis it recommended to use a higher octane fuel in the 1.5 and 2.0 motors?

[@BCautosolutions]

@@dannymiller7187 anything turbo I’m going to recommend 91 or better, I don’t care what Honda says

I have the SAS code as well as the brake and brake system light on can that all be cause by the electronic parking brake switch? I know I’m not in person for you to tell but from experience by chance?
