Warning problems of the 2025 Honda Accord

In xxx, the driver assistance and safety systems on my 2025 Honda Accord se began failing repeatedly. While driving, warning messages would appear for the collision mitigation braking system, lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams, and these systems would become unavailable. This happened multiple times over xxx and xxx . I took the vehicle to hugh white Honda in [xxx], four to five times for this problem. The dealer replaced the forward-facing camera twice under warranty, but the warnings and system failures continued after each repair. The dealer was never able to identify or fix the underlying cause. I filed a complaint with american Honda on xxx (case xxx). Because the safety systems on a nearly new vehicle could not be repaired, I traded the vehicle in on xxx, with approximately 17,000 miles. No crash or injuries occurred, but the vehicle repeatedly lost the use of its collision avoidance and lane keeping safety systems in normal driving, and the manufacturer could not repair the defect.

Here is a condensed version that includes the engineer and should fit within a **2,000-character limit**: the driver-assistance, lane-mitigation, and collision-avoidance systems in my 2025 Honda Accord have malfunctioned. Warning lights and messages have appeared while driving. I have photographs of the warning lights, service records, and documentation of the dates and times the problems occurred. The most serious incident occurred in approximately mid-June 2026. The vehicle suddenly stopped because the system apparently believed another vehicle was turning in front of me. The other vehicle was properly traveling in its own lane and was not entering my path. Had someone been driving closely behind me, the unnecessary stop could have caused a serious rear-end collision. I feared for my safety and my life while driving this vehicle. I left the vehicle with a Honda dealership on multiple occasions for inspection and service. Honda also sent an engineer from California to examine the vehicle. Despite these inspections, the problem was not satisfactorily resolved. Earlier in 2026, I contacted american Honda and opened a formal case regarding these safety concerns. I requested that Honda repurchase the vehicle because I no longer felt safe driving it. Honda denied my buyback request and stated that it was within its rights not to repurchase the vehicle. I have documentation of the case, my communications with american Honda, my buyback request, and Honda’s denial. I purchased the vehicle brand new. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I am requesting an investigation because unexpected braking or stopping could cause a serious accident, injury, or death.

Around 20,000 miles my car began having faint metallic clanking/clicking sounds turning left and recoiling back to the left under 15 miles an hour and while parked. My lane mitigation, see dealer light turned on for 5 minutes while backing in to a spot then turned off. No issues steering just noise. Glad I am not deaf and I know better because it was a very easy and quiet noise to ignore or miss. My steering is fine now but does not steer as thin and smoothly as before— not like any Honda steering I’ve encountered or when I first bough the car. Feels more stiff now but very drivable on the highway although repaired under warranty, there are hundreds of facebook, reddit, and even nhsta complaints of steering rack issues for 11th gen Accords that have fallen on deaf ears. I am fortunate to have my problem fixed in a relatively quick manner and helpful Honda staff. I am concerned because I hear people complaining this problem coming back after 4-10k miles later. This is a major safety issue in the principle of it all. It is ridiculous that type rs and acuras can get recalled steering racks but not Accord hybrid owners, some waiting 0-5 years for a steering rack recall while owners having to change them out like clockwork on their own dime outside of 36/36k. This is costing people money in tire degradation that Honda doesn't cover, mental stress, and it tarnishes the name of Honda if they don’t actively work to fix their mistake. Nhtsa should have a duty to put pressure on Honda to stop producing Accords, pilots, type rs, acuras, odysseys, etc with steering racks that don't work. Email me if you want service records, its not letting me load them. Steering rack and gear replaced recheck fine. Clock reel was making noise, cable reel was replaced and no more noise. Front tires are at 4/32nds, backs are at 6/32nds— bought at same time with car. 4 wheel total alignment was done. I have video of the clicking sound.

At first they said I needed a new battery. Thats why all the sensors were going off. I got a new battery and the sensors keep going on and off intermittently. The sensors going off are; hillside, steering assist, brake, brake system, tpms, and collision. It will clear and work for a day or 2 and then come back.
