general problems of the 2024 Honda Accord

In Feb. 2026, I had a software recall service performed on my Honda Accord. Later that same day, a persistent error message appeared on my dash: software update not available see dealer. I contacted the dealer and they said sometimes that error message clears on its own and to wait and see. A few days later as I was leaving work, I turned my car on, put it in reverse and realized I had no propulsion or power steering. I put the car back in park and restarted it and drove it straight to the dealer where it sat for about three weeks as they tried to clear the error message. They were not able to reproduce the issue I reported with my car being on but without power. I picked up the car on 3/16/26. After leaving the dealership, it began sputtering and lurching. I could see on the powertrain display that the car was not communicating well between the engine and hybrid battery. I pulled into a parking lot and put the car in park and it began functioning normally. I called the dealer and they said to bring it back if that happened again. It has not. Tonight, I was pulling up to a red light when my car suddenly slammed on the brakes and displayed lane departure mitigation off. I attempted to restore that safety feature and realized my car had lost power. It did restore power and I was able to drive home, but I am terrified of my car since it engaged the braking system for no reason and disabled a safety feature plus losing power. During my car's time in the service department, it got a new can gateway module and telematics unit along with repeated attempts to make the software update glitch free to eliminate the persistent warning messages that had been displaying. Honda tech support was involved, and I have contacted Honda corporate with my concerns about the safety of my car but am waiting for a response. My perspective is the software recall update ruined my perfectly good car and I am worried I am going to lose power and get injured or worse.

On 11/19/2025, while operating my 2025 Honda Accord hybrid, I experienced a sudden and total loss of power while the vehicle was in motion. Despite pressing the accelerator, the vehicle failed to respond. I noticed the 'ready' indicator disappeared on the dashboard, signifying a powertrain system shutdown. This caused me to lose control of the vehicle's speed and positioning, resulting in a collision. I believe this incident is a direct result of the defective integrated control module (icm) software identified in NHTSA recall 25v-785 (manufacturer recall tn2), which causes the cpu to reset and cut drive power during operation.

While driving on the highway traffic slowed down and came to a stop for about 30 seconds and when it started to move I heard a sound and my car shifted into park and the shifter never moved out of drive. I moved the shifter to park and then to drive and it began to move forward I don't now that happened but it got me a bit upset this was yesterday 10/23/25 and today I took my son t the the airport and all was ok. I am worried that may happen again and I'll be stuck somewhere.

I was driving at about 40 mph and the car lost all power and stopped in the middle of the road. Most all of the warning lights were on like low air pressure, reduced brakes and a brake problem light etc. Turned the car off and restarted and drove another 5 miles with the brake problem light still on. Stopped and restarted car and the brake light went off and all seems normal now. From my reading on Honda Accord forums it might be a bad icm unit? will be contacting a Honda dealer soon.

In December 2024, I was driving my 2024 Honda Accord hybrid sport on a clear, dry day after school when the car just completely lost power out of nowhere. The dashboard went crazy, flashing a bunch of different error messages every few seconds. Because the car wouldn't respond, I ended up in a side-impact crash. I was able to turn on/off the car after putting on my hazards and I was able to drive it normally and drove it towards the side of the ramp. I called my dad and after some time and turning the car on and off, the error messages disappeared and I was able to drive it safely back home. I tried to file an insurance claim (state farm #51-78k9-28m) back then, but they blamed my driving because the recall tn2 (campaign 25v785) hadn't been announced yet. I ended up giving up on the claim because money was tight and my dad was worried about insurance costs, but the car is still dented and scraped from that day as the error messages disappeared after I turned on/off the car on the side of the highway. I just want it on the record that this 'loss of drive power' recall caused my accident a year ago after seeing the recall on the mail.

Brand new car. After approximately six months, the drive shaft started making very loud popping noises when turning the steering wheel at low speeds. This happens 100% of the time with even minimal steering wheel movement. Honda is not sure if the drive shaft is rubbing against the frame of failing within the driveshaft. Honda is not reporting any service guidance so each dealership is pulling apart the cars looking for solutions. This should be recalled.

On June 9, 2024, while I was driving on the highway, my new Accord flashed a series of warning messages on the right side of the driver information interface (instrument panel). The messages that flashed and scrolled through repeatedly are listed below: electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available. See your dealer. Blind spot information system problem. See your dealer. Hill start assist problem. Vehicle may roll upon brake release. See your dealer. Transmission system problem. Performance may be reduced. See your dealer. Emission system problem. Power may be reduced. See your dealer. Additionally, near the fuel gauge a red brake light flashed and an amber brake system stayed illuminated. This is upsetting because I've had my new Honda Accord just over one month and have fewer than 1500 miles on it. Update: I took my new Honda Accord touring to my dealer and they examined it and told me a solenoid needed replacement. They ordered the part which took several day and replaced it. The solenoid replacement did not fix the problem and the service manager said my car needed a new transmission (ecvt). I was shocked such a new car would require such a radical repair. After waiting two weeks, my transmission was replaced. However, I'm not confident in my car. I read on NHTSA that 2023 Accord hybrid had a recall for ecvt transmission replacement. My Accord hybrid touring is a 2024 manufactured in 3/2024.

Car has 4800 miles. I've owned since new (5 months). No issues prior to this. Stopped a stoplight. The gas engine stopped running, which is typical for a hybrid when not moving. After 15 seconds, every warning/error message started cycling on the driver's dashboard screen, referencing "brake system malfunction" among many other failures. Pressing the gas pedal and there was no forward movement. Brakes still worked. Put in park. Pressed "start" to shut down car. It didn't fully shut down (dash still lit up). Pressed start again, still many errors but car would move. Drove immediately home. After 2 hours, pressed start again and no errors. After 2 days of no driving, got appointment with local Honda dealer service. Drove it carefully and had no issues. After two additional days of evaluation, Honda says it's the ignition control module (part# 5k80030ba06). They had to keep the car longer to allow regional Honda rep to inspect and document the car's issue, as they said this issue is becoming a trend. Lastly, they told me it could take 6 months to get the part, due to a "national backorder" but offered no options/alternatives. Said car is unsafe to drive. This is unacceptable and I hope is investigated. This is a very dangerous issue. Had I been driving, it could have been far worse result. Attached is a photo of 1 of the many error messages that rotated on the dashboard.

Today on 24 December 2024, I was driving my 3 month newly bought Honda Accord sport hybrid VIN 1hgcy2f55ra003151 from tulsa oklahoma to dallas texas when the car broke down suddenly in the middle of highway. It reported sudden power train system and all advanced feature failures and asked me to halt immediately or safely and started reducing the speed in the middle of driving at 65 miles hour. I had to park urgently on shoulder on I 75 s and it was very risky considering high speed traffic flowing. I think it was a great safety risk.
