general problems of the 2017 Honda Accord - part 1

I unlocked my car using the buttons on my key. I put my my purse along with my phone and my key in the car and I close the door and went to the trash to throw away an empty cup. When I got back to my car 2 minutes later the car relocked itself with my purse my phone and the keys in the car.

Abs control module failed. It put me at risk because my car shut down on me while driving could have resulted in a car accident.

While driving, the vehicle intermittently emits an extremely loud, high-pitched static or screeching noise through the speakers. The sound is sudden, piercing, and startling. Most concerning, this occurs even when the audio system volume is turned completely off. Because the noise is so loud and unexpected, it causes a significant distraction while operating the vehicle. The sound is comparable to an ear-piercing static burst and can make it difficult to concentrate on the road. There is no warning before it occurs, and lowering or muting the volume does not prevent it. This issue has happened multiple times and does not appear to be connected to a specific audio source (radio, bluetooth, etc. ). Given the intensity of the noise and the fact that it cannot be controlled by adjusting the volume, I believe this poses a potential safety risk.

I have a Honda Accord sport. My vehicle does not appear on the recall website. I am having so many issues with my vehicle lately. The following lights stay on continuously on my dashboard. The tire pressure light, abs, tired skid traction, brake and steering wheel lights are on. I have tried everything to get these issues resolved and nothing seems to be working. I am thinking now that this could possibly be an electrical issue or sensor issue. I have replaced my batter twice, my passenger side window fell, and I had the motor replaced and it is still not working. My car stalls when I am driving, sitting still and when I turn the air conditioning on. I have had so many repairs done to this vehicle. The invoices will be attached to this as well. I have basically made the care new under the hood, and nothing is working. I need help to get this issue resolved as soon as possible. This is the only vehicle I have to get to and from work daily. Can you please, find it in your heart to help me.

2017 Honda Accord touring model, once car heats up, radio begins to make a static noise that gradually gets louder until it gets to a point that is extremely loud. It is very distracting and damages hearing, making it difficult to drive, causing a serious driving hazard. It does not matter if the radio is on or off and turning the volume down does not help at all. Shutting the engine off and restarting the car is the only way to get it to stop.

This 2017 Honda Accord has recently been making very loud static noises from the speakers. It gets so loud and the only way to turn it off is to turn off the engine and restart. The static noise always comes back though, so this is clearly a safety issue. On youtube, there are many people saying this same issue. I cannot upload my video, so here is one example: [xxx] my static is twice as loud as the one on this video. Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My speakers randomly make this extremely loud static and even with volume off it doesn’t stop. It’s very distracting and hard to focus on driving while it’s going on! this has been happening almost everyday! then it stops whenever it decides to! sometimes for an hour!.

Radio makes a very loud static noise with in 30 minutes of driving the car. The radio is off when this noise starts from the back speakers and the noise will move all the way to the front of the car. It stays on for 15-20 minutes and may quit on its own, or until I cut the car off. I cannot control the volume on this static/noise. It is very loud . Is there any recall on this issue with the 2017 Honda Accord radio?.

The backup camera is no longer working on my vehicle. There was no recall when there was one for other Honda vehicles with the same issue.

While driving, both the digital instrument cluster and the center infotainment screen will randomly freeze, become completely unresponsive, or shut off entirely. This occurs without warning and while the vehicle is in motion. When the instrument cluster freezes or turns off, critical driving information such as speed, warning indicators, fuel level, and other safety alerts are no longer visible. Additionally, when the infotainment screen becomes unresponsive, I lose access to functions such as navigation, backup camera display (when reversing), and vehicle settings. These failures create a significant safety concern because they remove essential driving information and features while the vehicle is being operated. The issue happens intermittently and does not appear to be tied to a specific driving condition. Restarting the vehicle may temporarily resolve the issue, but the problem continues to reoccur. Given that modern vehicles rely heavily on digital displays for critical operational information, this malfunction poses a clear safety risk.

The abs/vsa module system malfunctioned/failed. Based on information on online forums and the independent service center I utilized…this has happened before with the 9th generation Honda Accords. As a result, there were issues with acceleration and, in particular, braking which created safety hazard. There were warning lights that went on and off at various times (inconsistently) which first appeared 2 months ago.

Honda service bulletin 21-018 extends the warranty on 2018-2020 Honda Accords for the a/c condenser to 10 years from the original date of purchase with unlimited miles. This afternoon, I paid over $1,700 to the dealer for a fully diagnosed and repaired condenser replacement. Given the near-identical failure mechanism and that the faulty condensers in question are likely from the same production-era manufacturing process, I respectfully request that Honda consider extending the same 10-year, unlimited-mileage warranty coverage to affected 2017 Accord models.

There is loud static noise coming from the radio that’s affecting all the speakers even when the radio is powered off the static is there, I checked online and found that a 2017 Honda Accord that’s experiencing the same issues. The sounds is absolutely nerve wrecking it triggered my autistic son that he no longer wants to ride in the vehicle because of the noise.

I am writing to formally raise a serious safety concern regarding a known and recurring defect in the infotainment/head unit system of my 2017 Honda Accord. Like many other Honda owners, I am experiencing unpredictable and extremely loud static or popping sounds through the speakers, which occur without warning while the vehicle is in operation. This issue significantly compromises vehicle safety. The sudden, blaring static drowns out critical audio alerts such as collision warnings, lane departure signals, and other safety-related notifications, placing me and others at increased risk while driving. Upon bringing this issue to a certified Honda dealership, I was informed that the head unit cannot be disconnected, as it is integrated with the vehicle’s essential safety features. In other words, I am forced to choose between enduring a hazardous and disruptive audio malfunction or disabling key safety systems entirely—an unacceptable situation for any driver, particularly in a vehicle marketed as reliable and safe. Furthermore, I was advised that the only known solution is a full replacement of the head unit, which comes at a cost of approximately $1,800 out of pocket. It is deeply concerning that Honda is expecting customers to bear the cost of repairing a defect that is both widespread and clearly rooted in manufacturing or design flaws. Given the scope and severity of this issue, I urge Honda to take immediate and responsible action by issuing a recall or providing an extended warranty repair for all affected vehicles. I am requesting a formal response regarding how Honda plans to resolve this matter in my case and ensure the safety of its customers moving forward.

I own a 2017 Honda Accord “touring” model that has developed an intermittent audio problem (described below) that is a safety issue because it causes serious driver distraction and impatience to reach a destination to turn the car off. There is no way for the driver to stop the problem without turning the car completely off. Despite numerous reports from others (documented below), Honda has not issued a recall. It is hoping that a “goodwill discount” of 40% or so (offered only if the owner knows to demand it) will prevent a recall. The only fix is to have a Honda dealer replace the oem “audio head unit”. Without the “goodwill discount”, the installed cost is $1,400 - $1,600 to fix a condition that is obviously out of warranty. The problem is that in hot (85+) weather, even with the audio system turned off, a modest “scratching” sound begins from all speakers, gradually becoming a loud, continuous static which lasts for 3 or 4 minutes and then gradually tapers off to silence. If I turn audio power on while this is occurring, the static instantly becomes intolerably loud until I turn audio power off; then the scratching continues for a few more minutes until it gradually disappears. When this problem is not occurring, the audio system plays normally. This problem is significantly frequent. 10,000 to 15,000 such cars were sold. •carcomplaints. Com lists 170 such complaints under the electrical system and other problems categories. •carproblemzoo. Com lists 99 general equipment complaints; the static noise issue stands out as the most common recent problem. . •driveaccord. Net, a popular owner forum: “2017 Accord radio static” has around 470 posts. That is a total of about 700+ reports of this problem, on 5 -7% of these vehicles. That is a safety problem that must be recalled! problem first occurred in may 2025. More frequent in hot weather: 3 times in last 3 days. Symptoms occur randomly and don't last long enough to reach a dealer for diagnosis.

There is a a/c condenser leak on the 2017 Honda Accord hybrid similar to the ones that happened on the Honda civics of this time period. The Honda civics got extended warranties for the condenser leaks, but the Honda Accords did not. Please add the Honda Accords from 2017 and the 2017 Honda Accord hybrids to the recall list needing extended warranties and technical service bulletins on the leaks in the a/c condensers that Honda should cover, extend the warranty and fix. Thanks.

Car speakers makes unbearable loud static noise even after audio is turned off .

Clarion radio head, Honda part 39101-t3w-a71. Radio is removed from car at this point and may be inspected, awaiting service. Speakers produce full volume static, especially correlated to a hot day. Static is unavoidable, occurs whether or not system is powered on or off. Source input also does not matter. Restarting car also does not fix issue. Safety is at risk by causing hearing loss and distracted/inattentive driving. Car is not drivable as long as this full volume static is occurring. Honda surely knows about this issue, there are wide reports of this issue on you tube and online discussion boards.

We are writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue with our 2017 Honda Accord hybrid ex-l, which we purchased from the sf Honda dealership. Over the past few weeks, we’ve experienced a loud static noise coming from the audio unit — even when the audio is turned off. The only way to stop the noise is to put the car in park, turn it off, and restart it. Unfortunately, this solution is inconsistent, as the noise sometimes persists even after restarting. The sound is deafening and extremely distracting, which raises serious safety concerns for us. This is not just an inconvenience — it’s a significant hazard while driving. After researching the issue online, we discovered that this appears to be a known problem among Honda owners. Here is a video that reflects exactly what we’re experiencing: [xxx] . Given the safety implications, we are very concerned and would appreciate your assistance in looking into this safety issue. We have brought this to the attention of our local dealership, as well as Honda corporate offices. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Loud crackling static noise coming from all stereo speakers randomly. Nothing can stop this loud static noise, except by pulling over off the road and restarting the vehicle. This happens randomly and does not matter whether you are using bluetooth or not using bluetooth, plugged in charging using usb or listening to music on phone with usb. The radio can be completely shut off and nothing playing or plugged in and it will start with decibels so loud it is dangerous to adults and children's hearing and again can only be stopped by pulling off the road and restarting the vehicle, the silence of static may only last a few minutes to an hour but will start again every single time I drive my 17 Accord. There are many forums out there with 17 Honda Accord owners having the same issue. I believe Honda has addressed the pilot, odyssey, ridgeline etc. Models for infotainment problems, but I really think they should address the 2017 Accord also, this is impossible to drive this Accord to anywhere of distance.

Loud static noise from audio after car turned on for around 5 minutes. This is very unsafe to drive and can't hear anything surrounding when driving. I also searched online and youtube and also found lot of car owners of Honda Accord 2016, 2017 have similar issues. I also brought car to dealerships but they couldn't find the issue. This issues have been started since June 2024 until now unsolved. Can't upload any files since this is audio static noise issue. Please help us.

There appears to be a model-wide problem with 2017 Honda Accord audio system that manifests in screeching static noise through audio speakers (whether the radio is turned on or not) at decibels in excess of 100 (sounds like a lawnmower being operated inside a closed 4 door sedan). This noise comes with no warning (or waring lights) and shocks the senses that can cause erratic vehicle operation. Once the noise starts, it will last varying lengths of time that include in excess of 12 minutes. The only means to make it stop is by turning off the car, which is not easy or safe if highway driving. The screeching is so loud, it is impossible to hear emergency sirens or honking horns, making this a serious safety issue. This is also very distracting -- imagine a passenger screaming in your ear as loud as they can non-stop -- simply not conducive to safe driving! Honda of America acts like they have never heard of this issue (I can see that many, many 2017 Accord owners have reported this very issue over the last several years). Dealer diagnostics reveal nothing. They only recommend replacing the entire audio head unit ($4k) and owner expense. For a car that is only 7 years old, it is not working as intended. A recall seems warranted. This has been going on over a month now and is getting progressively worse. Please help us. [xxx] please open this video to hear the problem.

Past couple weeks, there is loud static noise coming from speaker after 15 to 20 minutes drive. It is impossible to stop and it is so loud that affects the driving, and easily causing accident if the driver not calming down. Sometime there is noise coming from the back amplifier, even I shut down the audio system.

The speakers and sound system emit a very loud static sound that is often accompanied by computerized sounds. It usually happens after I've been driving the vehicle for about 10-15 minutes. It seems to be coming from the head unit/radio unit, but the sound will continue even if I completely turn off the radio/sound system. It's so loud that it's often hard to concentrate and is going to damage my hearing if it persists. It started happening shortly after my car turned over to 100k miles. There are hundreds and maybe thousands of other Honda Accord owners who have posted online about this very same issue (usually 2017) and the Honda dealers recommend replacing the entire unit to the tune of $4-5,000. This is a manufacturer defect!! the only thing that stops the noise is to pull over, turn the car off, and wait 10-15 minutes, but sometimes the sound starts right up again. I have not yet taken my car to the dealer or a repair shop due to the hundreds/thousands of other posts online stating the exact same problem and the recommendation by Honda being to replace a part that was manufactured defectively. The sound is very loud and I cannot drive my car very far unless I just want to put up with it and try to ignore it. Even if I put headphones in my ears (which I don't when driving as that's unsafe), I can still hear the static. Honda needs to issue a recall for this problem and fix it!.

After driving for about 20 -30 minutes there is a very, very loud noise that appears to come from the stereo speakers (even if the stereo system isn’t on). It is so loud that I do not hear emergency personnel coming. It has been several occasions that an accident is almost caused because of not being able to hear police or ambulance sirens. It just started happening out of nowhere. I have all factory equipment on the vehicle so I’m not sure why this is happening. Honda really need to fix this before there are fatalities.

Radio emits loud static, on or off. Sometimes starts low and builds to high volume, sometimes full blast without warning. Cannot be silenced without stopping car and turning off. Dangerous especially in traffic. Honda defect reporting phone line acted as if they never heard such a thing, same from the service manager where the car was purchased new. Different Honda dealer service manager said same. I told him online forums were loaded with reports just like mine. I asked him to take out his phone and search 2017 Honda Accord radio static. . . . He said yeah I guess there alot of reports of this issue. I made one last at my original dealership to see if there was a recall in the works for the defective radio head. New from Honda 2300 dollars just for the part. Definitely a safety hazzard from a defective part. Problem is so pervasive multiple repair services have sprung up for this series of radios. All told cost me 500 dollars to do myself. Radio head has many functions including back up camera which is gone with fuse pulled. Honda lied to me when they acted as if they never heard of such failures. Last service manager admitted we change a couple of these radio heads a week.

Belt tensioner seized causing serpentine belt to slip and fail and loss of steering.

Back passenger door will not lock /unlock unless you do it manually. . Daytime running lights on drivers side out and you have limited area of light at dusk/dawn. Car is available for inspection.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that on two separate occasions while at a complete stop, the vehicle hesitated upon depression of the accelerator pedal, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact restarted the vehicle soon after the failures and the vehicle resumed normal operation. The check engine warning light disappeared after restarting the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 19v060000 (fuel system, other). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

My back up camera was replaced in 2018 due to the original one installed during the manufacturing state being defective and going out while still under warranty. Last year my camera quit projecting an image on the screen. I can only see the directional lines on the screen when in reverse that change color and appears to work if I am out of the parking lines and the screen is black. Every once in a while the camera will flash an image for a nanosecond on the screen before going black. I have gone to Honda regarding this but they won't do anything because my VIN is a 2017. This is a safety issue since I am unable to see when backing out. Please consider extending this recall to include the 2017 Honda Accords. I am sure I am not the only one with this issue.

Backup camera failed. Honda is keeping cheap quality backup cameras that are failing easily. I have seen 1. 2 million cars recalled for back up camera issues. My vehicle back up camera not working properly. Very frequently it shows black screen. It works some times and does not work sometimes. This is a serious safety issue. Honda should take responsibility for this. My car model is 2017 Honda Accord.

I have a 2017 Honda Accord hybrid. The audio system or radio has now become dangerous. I filed a complaint with american Honda and they said I had to take it to the dealer for diagnostic and that no recall or technical service bulletin on my car audio exists. I created a youtube video to show the problem. I contacted my local Honda dealer but they want me to pay a diagnostic fee. It is over $190 to diagnose the audio system and no guarantee to fix. Replacement is estimated to be around $2,000. American Honda customer service should waive the diagnosis fee or reimburse me for any such independent dealer diagnosis fee. Here is my youtube video complaint link: https://youtube. Com/shorts/rfglkr-fjds? si=a4rl0j6z8ef2n3ww I am asking for Honda America to pay for or reimburse me for getting a diagnostic on my audio system from any independent Honda dealer. I am asking that based on previous customer complaints searchable on the internet that a technical service bulletin or recall of audio systems for Honda Accords from 2017 be created. I am asking for a free replacement of my audio system despite the warranty being expired because the deafening and piercing sounds are a hazard and danger to drivers like myself. There is terrible and very loud and piercing static coming from the audio system and speakers even when the audio system is turned off on the 2017 Honda Accord hybrid. It's intermittent but happens very often and lasts a long time. Many forums also describe similar problems across Hondas and years. Please recall or service bulletin this problem. The sound of static is deafening and can't be volume controlled. I have been suffering from deafening sounds of intermittent static from the audio system in my 2017 Honda Accord hybrid. I can't afford to replace the audio system and there are lots of online comments from other owners with similar problems. Some say it is antenna or loose wiring, but whatever the cause, it is dangerous and NHTSA should recall these cars.

Speakers or audio system. Randomly the speakers will get static or noise that comes through it with nothing plugged into it (usb or bluetooth) and the radio can be off even. Safety issue that it gets progressively louder to the point where at hard to stay in car and drive it. Have to stop the car, turn it off and turn it on to keep driving but the sound returns if driving for more then 10 min. This might be issue that others having as well with 2016-2017 models. Below is link to audio from someone else that had similar issue https://m. Youtube. Com/watch?v=kmrn_chrego.

Vehicle stalled while travelling. I suspect this is a problem of the high pressure fuel pump gathering particulates and not working as proper. There is a similar recall regarding the v6 models of my vehicle, however, the 4 cylinder models were left unaddressed.

Infotainment system sends out massive distortion, crackling and popping noises through all of the car, audio speakers. Extremely loud and will even happen when you have pushed the power off button to the audio system. Car is undrivable. It’s so loud and could see someone being startled on the highway when this starts. It’s very frequent in hot weather and can stop and start very suddenly. This is all original Honda parts. No modifications.
