general problems of the 2016 Honda Accord - part 2

I have extremely loud static coming the stereo. , blue tooth, satellite, fm etc. I have turned it off completely and still have the static. I have to wear bose noise cancelling headphones while driving. This is very dangerous as I can't hear horns, sirens etc. There has to be a recall as I have now read many other people having the same issue. What should I do?.

The radio main unit started to occasionally produce loud deafening static without warning. Turning off the radio unit or lowering the volume had no effect, and this static noise would continue at maximum volume through the speakers for a few minutes until it gradually faded. It made it impossible to drive, and hurt my ears whenever it happened so I had to turn off the car to stop it. The speakers were blasting around 100db when inside the car, so I purchased ear plugs to help. I opened a case with Honda and took it to the local Honda dealer. They thought it was the amplifier and replaced it, but the problem immediately occurred again when I was about to leave the dealer. They refunded the repair cost since they were wrong, and advised it was the main radio unit that needed to be replaced. This unit is still available for inspection and has been confirmed by the dealer. There is no warning when this happens. Besides that the speakers blasting at maximum volume is detrimental to my hearing, the fact that it occurs suddenly while driving on the highway is like having a concussive grenade going off and still trying to focus on everything going on around you which is impossible. Hearing horns or sirens when this occurs is impossible due to the volume. It is not safe to have this situation occur on the road, and from looking up my year make&model online I am not the only one with this static issue. This issue has been happening for months now whenever I try to drive it.

Persistent loud static noise from the car's audio system. The noise is present even when the audio is off and is "explosively loud" and "disturbing. " it is frustrating with Honda's lack of support.

Interference; and importantly, that the problem occurs only when the outside temperature is excessively hot. Due to the specific conditions required to trigger the interference, the static noise is impossible to replicate on command, rendering troubleshooting efforts prohibitively costly and unlikely to bear fruit. For reference, there are videos of the problem online with search terms "Honda Accord static noise".

Static coming through the speakers with and without music playing when the weather is hot or using heater function on ac. Static noise is really loud and annoying distracting from driving and does not allow for auditory awareness of surroundings. Only viable fix at the moment is to fully disable the premium audio fuse or completely remove stereo and install aftermarket stereo. No warnings whatsoever just spontaneous static that doesn’t stop.

Abs system failed and is not working properly. Also the screen in the car for all of my interaction with my car including bluetooth and any errors involving the car. If my brakes go out in the middle of driving it could cause me and my family to be unable to protect ourselves. I have confirmed the system with 2 different mechanics and both agree there should be a recall. The warning lamps go off and on and are unpredictable.

Based on extensive research and the replacement of the factory amplifier, I’m assuming that the component that’s failing is the head unit for the radio. It unpredictably makes this loud static noise come out the speakers that cannot be turned down or off even when the audio power is off. This is a risk to my and other drivers’ safety due to the volume of this noise and the fact I cannot do anything to stop it while driving. The only solution is to pull over and turn the car off. The static noise is so loud that I can’t even hear a horn honking at me and can barely hear emergency vehicles. The problem is hard to reproduce as the static happens unpredictably but I’ve taken it to an audio repair shop and we were able to produce the static noise after about 10 minutes of music playing. This component has apparently been complained about by many people having the same issue as me yet Honda is not recalling or owning up to this failure. I have yet to take it to a Honda dealership to have it inspected but from other’s experience they’ve mentioned that the technicians said nothing can be done but replacing the entire head unit for about $1000. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. This problem first appeared about 6 months ago. I don’t understand why so many people are having this issue yet the part has not been recalled yet. Please recall the head unit of 2016-2017 Honda Accords.

The stereo has a safety issue where it can suddenly produce loud static and squeaky noises, even when the volume is turned down or off. There is no warning before this occurs. I can’t upload videos that have where is insanely loud.

Recently observed vehicle paint is peeling off and it is putting the vehicle at risk of rust and corrosion. It is above the back window. I have taken the vehicle to my local dealer where vehicle was purchased and inspected. They advised me to contact Honda customer service. Upon calling them they advised me there were no recalls at this time. My 2016 Honda should not be peeling when my 2004 Honda has had no issues. I am aware of Toyota having paint recalls on their 2016 models and unsure if it could be from the same paint manufacture. Please contact me regarding this issue, I am sure I am not the only one with this issue and it is difficult to know where to turn to. Thank you.

The audio system in these car is failing for multiple owners. Complaint was filed with Honda and all they do is to turn their back on the customers and not acknowledge the issue. You have the complete engine noise amplified through the speakers of the car if you don't stop the car you can easily get your hearing impaired(my wife and I are health care professionals) the issue: atrocious noise( intermitting ,cycling engine noise amplified through speakers even when the radio is turned off). The vehicle has been inspected by certified mechanics and audio specialists and have been unable to pin point the issue(the car amplifier is currently disconnected on our car) there no sign or message on the car that would alert you that is anything wrong. Symptoms first appear on April of 2024. We did not know where to complaint about this. We read on a forum of more complaints being filed, so we decided to file ours.

Abs module went out on my vehicle while on the highway. Three lights came on, as shown in attached photo. Vehicle brake system began acting up in the moment. This is a very common issue on 2013-2017 Honda Accords from all mileage amounts. They are all still on and while I can drive the vehicle, if there are any instances where I need to brake suddenly, myself and the people around me will probably end up in a dangerous collision. The Honda dealership has quoted me $2,600 to fix this with no additional information. Thousands of other drivers are experiencing the same issue. Shame on Honda for not allowing a recall on this.

When driving for at least 15 minutes, with the radio powered off or on, noise starts to come from the car speakers and builds to a crescendo which surpasses 95 decibels (measured with phone app). The noise is so loud it hurts my ears and I need to pull over to get out of the car. The problem has been confirmed by other individuals, but not the dealer. I have yet to take it to the manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. There are no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem. The problem appeared two years after I purchased the vehicle in January of 2022. I do not know what causes it. I have researched similar events online and cannot find a fix.

Radio, yes as of now. Very loud static sound coming from speakers, it makes it hard to concentrate, and you can't hear anything around you such as sirens, or even the person sitting next to you. They say replace the radio, at over $2000 no to inspection. No messages of failure etc.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at approximately 30 mph, the vehicle lost motive power. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign numbers: 17v418000 (electrical system) and 19v060000 (fuel system, other) however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

Radio head unit started making extremely loud static noise from speakers around 60k miles. Turning radio off does not stop static nor does turning volume down. Radio is still functional but no audio just loud static when car is cranked up and continues until car is turned off. The loud static is harmful to people ears because after a while your ears start to hurt so I’m sure the decimals are too loud for people’s ear. No warning lights are illuminated on dash for this problem. Independent service center mechanic said radio needed head unit to be replaced due to being faulty. Radio has not been inspected by manufacturer. There was no prior warnings or symptoms before this problem.

For the last few months, my audio system has been making static and crackling noises. It is intermittent. I would estimate the noise to occur around 25% of the time I am driving. At times, it is extremely loud and nerve wracking. When that noise amplifies, hearing surrounding traffic or other community sounds, sirens, train horns, etc is not possible. This occurs with the audio system turned either off or on. It is unsafe, and there is no way to control it. Online, I have seen complaints from several types of Honda make/model owners, but Honda only recognizes a limited few years, makes, and models. Honda should not be allowed to put Honda drivers, passengers, and the community at large at risk by ignoring the problem. There needs to be a recall and mandate from the ntsb that Honda fix this safety issue. I am listing today as the incident date. However, this issue has occurred pretty much every day for the last few months.

Audio unit produces loud static and beeping noises spontaneously, regardless if whether the audio unit is on or off. The sound is very distracting and may be damaging to the ears of the driver and passengers.

I am filing a complaint about a recurring issue with the radio in my Honda Accord. The head unit continuously emits a loud static noise, even when the radio is turned off. This static is not only extremely disruptive but also poses a safety risk. The only way to stop the noise is to either stop and park the car or remove the fuse, which also disables the backup camera. This issue appears to be common among other Honda Accord owners as well, suggesting it could be a widespread problem.

Unknown.

I found previous complaints with the same issue so I used their words and added/deleted a bit more: 2016 Honda Accord. The instrument panel or display panel often locks after having iphone connected and using airplay. Have to disconnect iphone and at times even turn off car to reset the instrument panel display. This is a hassle and if using maps can be inconvenient while driving. Audio main head unit (Honda p/n 39171-t2f-a71) produces loud static from radio speakers. The noise becomes extremely loud. The loud static continues even if the audio system power is turned off. The noise is so loud it is disorienting. The only way to stop the noise is to pull off the road and turn off the engine. The loudness of the static puts the safety of the driver at risk. The problem is intermittent and cannot be reproduced on demand. I provided the mechanic with an audio/video tape of the problem. He told me to contact american Honda about “goodwill” help provided by them. There are no warning lamps or messages prior to audio main malfunction. My problem first appeared in July 2023. The car is not driveable when the static occurs. Since I cannot drive the car with the loud static, I will have to rent a vehicle. I will report it to american Honda motor customer care on July 18, 2023 to advised that this problem is a safety issue and is very expensive at $3,500. 00.

Audio system started making very loud noise. Thought it was speakers at first but even when the radio is off the noise is on. No buttons are usable, volume, apps, return, source or even the off/on. The noise is extremely loud 2 the point of having 2 pull over, turn the car off. Its a deafening noise & totally unbearable. Have to sit wherever I pulled over for quite some time which is dangerous especially at nighttime to get the noise to its lowest decibel 2 be able 2 drive again only for about 30/40 secs b4 it starts increasing to the unbearable level again. Takes 45 min 2 drive a 15 min trip. Vehicle cant b driven while this is going on and is a definite safety hazard due to not being able to concentrate on driving. This has caused me to almost be hit or hit others because I’m so focused on this noise radiating through my head and ears. I cannot hear others horns for warnings. Once exiting my car my ears are buzzing extremely loud. Had 2 audio specialists check it and I’m told it’s the amplifier to contact a Honda dealer about a goodwill claim. I called royal Honda in metairie la and they told me that since I didn’t purchase my car new from them or serviced there yet (just moved to la) that they will not consider a goodwill claim to take it back to the state I purchased it from(really so I’m supposed to drive 6 hours each time? not acceptable) and if they fixed it they would charge me $3,500. This problem started about 3 months ago. I had the amplifier disconnected and now both of my monitor screens are not working which means I have no cameras for safety and no access to hands free calling, navigation, phone connectivity or anything pertaining to the whole system. Component has not been inspected by mfg, police or ins because I didn’t know it had to be and there were no warning signs prior to this deafening noise escalating to the point of such a compromise of my safety. I’ve read many others are having same issue so it’s time for a recall? Honda we need your help!.

In may 2023, a local Honda dealership confirmed a vsa solenoid malfunction in my 2016 Honda Accord sport. All abs, steering, traction, and brake lights are on in the car. Part is currently on backorder - due to timing, the warranty is expired (2k miles over coverage) and no longer covers issues like this. Don't feel safe driving car while lights are on.

Car is stalling and check charge system is popping up on dash . There is a recall for these problems on other Accords.

1. The radio system failed and is available for inspection. 2. My safety is compromised as I am subjected to static noise at maximum volume, posing a risk of significant ear damage or potential hearing loss. The intensity of the noise can rapidly lead to noise-induced hearing loss. Additionally, this persistent static noise is highly distracting, increasing the risk to other drivers on the road. 3. Yes, the problem has been reproduced and confirmed by a Honda dealer. 4. The vehicle and its radio system have been inspected by Honda. The only solution offered by Honda is to replace the entire radio unit, costing between $1,000 and $3,000. It is unreasonable to expect customers to pay such an amount for what is evidently a manufacturing defect, especially when similar issues have led to recalls in other Honda models like the odyssey, pilot, and passport. Following the dealership's advice, I contacted Honda corporate to file a claim in hopes of receiving a discount on the necessary repairs, which should ideally be covered under a recall but are not for the Accord model. Unfortunately, the claim was denied. Honda corporate claims to be unaware of the issue, despite numerous online forums and videos highlighting the same problem, along with Honda's reluctance to address it. Honda corporate denied me any discounts, stating that I do not have a long-standing relationship with them since I have not used their services for all my maintenance needs. 5. There were no warnings prior to failure that occurred in March 2023.

I have had problems with the backup camera it outlines however the picture is not working and has been out for some time I have asked the Honda dealer to look at this matter and it was never resolved also took the car to be serviced many times, so I started taking the car for service else where and was told they can not help me, this is a safety matter I am looking to get this matter resolved I have been parking and avoiding backing up due to this problem I need answers and the problem fixed thank you mark paliotti.

2016 Honda Accord ex-l coupe radio display panel went blank, including screen above main panel. There appears to be no power to panel, cameras thus I can not turn on radio, use map which at times can be critical and all panel features are unavailable due to dead panel. The safety lane changing camera and back up camera do not work. Not sure what caused this. Fuses appear ok.

My clock and rear view camera stopped working at the same time. Everything else still works.

Backup camera located in rear trunk lid failed. Mileage under 10,000 mi. Dealer has no recall for 2016 Accord sedan model. This item. Automatic high beam dim system failed within first three months of vehicle ownership.

My car started making a piercing static noise that is so loud and you can’t do anything to turn it down and it is very hard to drive and concentrate with this noise. I have seen other cars recalled for this issue but they are the larger cars. My car has the same issue but they will do nothing for me.

When I put the car in reverse and start backing up, the steering wheel locks up and it's like the car kills and turns on again while still in motion. The day before this happened my window was going up and down on its own and my car didn't want to lock and unlock with the remote.

My backup camera stopped working when I took my car to the dealership to get an exterior replacement part. It worked fine when I dropped it off. Now the screen is completely black when you are in reverse but you can still see the backup camera lines. The dealership is trying to charge me $140 to even look at it. Somebody posted this exact complaint in July 2020. They stated that the camera housing might be letting condensation and water inside, causing it to short out. There are two additional complaints with the same issue from March 2020, one in February 2020, and one in January 2020. This is clearly a manufacturer issue that needs to be investigated.

Car suddenly accelerates without foot being on accelerator. Braking does not stop the vehicle. This has happened 3 times in last two years with damage to front of vehicle times two. Past incident resulted only in some scratches. We checked with dealer for other reports and was told there had been none. All three times the brake had been applied because we were attempting to park the car.

My car makes this grinding noise before starting, I've replace the battery twice (2018,2020) and the starter June 2020. My car is back making the same grinding noise and would not start again. On my way back to the mechanical with the same issue. The car is stationary while I'm trying to get it started.
