36 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2023

Hello, the car has this issue since I got it nrand new. Every time I drive in the rain or while its snowing, all lights on the dash board comes up and at least 50% of the options gets disabled. Like back up camera, windshield vipers, horn beeps non stop until you disconnect the battery and more. I see there is lots of people reporting same issue but Honda dont want to help me with this issue. Went to homda dealer and they said $169 for diagnostics, then called and said its gonna be 2 hours which is $338 and even then saying they are not sure if it will take them 2hrs or 10 and I had no choice to tell them to stop and pay only $169.

37 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/14/2023

I was driving my 21 Honda Accord 1. 5t on the highway and all of a sudden vehicle lost the power and Honda sensing / emission warning lights came on. It almost cause a major accident and I was lucky enough to exit the freeway without incident. I drove to the Honda dealer and they found out one of the wire harnesses was chewed by a rodent which causes the whole issue. I did some research and found out that Honda was using less expensive soybean base wire harnesses (instead of petroleum base wire harnesses) to save the planet earth. This soybean wires are easy target for rodents. This less expensive soybean wire harness cost about $3000-3500 to replace and it's not fair to the consumer. Honda must re-call this soybean wire harness before causing some major accident, especially on the freeway ( imaging your car losing power while driving 65-70 mph).

39 Electrical System problem

I saw the investigation of hat the ntsb is opening into problems with the crv and a handful of other vehicles. I think you should add the Honda Accord hybrid (touring) to this investigation. I was driving on a road with speed limit of 55 mph. In full evening traffic. My check engine light flashed on, and I immediately called the dealership to set an appointment. Within one minute of that light coming on, I lost all acceleration power, it just dropped off in the middle of the high flow of fast traffic with no shoulder. I had to find a way to force people to let me over going less than 5 mph to get to a safe shoulder. Then my car just stopped. I was on the phone with the service department at Honda when this happened and they were like, yeah sometimes that just happens. You get to the side of the road within a minute or it will shut off while driving. They made it seem like it was a super common and well known problem. That is ridiculously dangerous. I mean, ridiculously dangerous. I was absolutely terrified I would be slammed by a car on the highway. I got my car to the dealership for a full diagnostic, that they tried to charge me for, but they didn’t find anything. And they said it was probably nothing because they had no proof it happened. That is about it, nothing too terrible, but that has way more potential problems than my scary incident alone. Thank you.

40 Electrical System problem

Information console glitches randomly and will close out maps, play music, switch input sources, and will call/hangup without driver input. Initially happened maybe 1-2 times a month, however now happens constantly making the entire informatics system inoperable and is very distracting. I am unable to upload the videos of it glitching (this doesn’t allow video files) but can provide if needed.

Automatic braking has initiated for no reason, at least four times almost causing accidents, car radio sometimes will no shut off, seems to be some type of electrical problem, I have had both issues looked at by dealer who states they cannot find a problem with this vehicle, there is definitely a problem and it must be found before someone get hurt. Auto braking has happened on the freeway, and on residential streets.
