Equipment Problems of Honda Accord - part 1

I am deeply concerned about my safety and the safety of other drivers due to a serious and worsening infotainment system malfunction in my 2022 Honda Accord hybrid. The system malfunctions spontaneously and repeatedly while I am driving, causing significant distraction and creating a serious risk of accident. Symptoms include the system switching between apps on its own, the radio turning on and off without any input, and the screen responding as if phantom touches are occurring. I cannot predict when this will happen and have been constantly distracted while driving. The problem first appeared approximately one year ago and has become significantly worse in recent weeks, occurring more frequently and more severely. The escalating nature of this defect is alarming and I believe it poses an imminent danger to myself, my passengers, and other drivers. This is a known defect. Honda has issued technical service bulletins on this infotainment system and faced class action litigation covering 2020–2022 Honda models with this same system. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this defect and consider a mandatory recall so that Honda is required to repair this at no cost to affected owners.

As soon as I got to work and put it in park I got a message on the dashboard saying “engine temperature too hot. Do not drive. Allow engine to cool”. No other warning signs were shown before this. I looked up on google what maybe it meant and to my findings it mentioned gasket and all I noticed recent complaints and claims filed with 2018 Honda Accords for a known issue with these Honda Accord sport 2018 models for blows gaskets.

I was told the best thing to do was report it here. Our son was driving his 2019 Honda Accord and suddenly everything on his dashboard lit up. Was told it is a blown head gasket. We were also told that the shop has had over 81 Accords in with the same issue. They said Honda is trying to sweep it under the rug rather making a recall. We were told this is what they see: the head gasket material between cylinders is very tiny, any minor disturbance will cause coolant to leak into the cylinder. Usually failures are happening between cylinders 2&3 where the material is the thinnest. 2) Honda is really trying to get a lot of power out of this small engine with the inclusion of the turbocharger. Higher octane fuels are needed to prevent premature detonation / knock, especially with forced induction (turbo charger). You can still run the car using 87 octane, but the chances of problems like a blown head gasket happening increase. 3) the head bolts that keep the engine head to the engine block are not strong enough. These bolts are torque to yield at around 50 ft lbs (if that). There have been instances where these bolts don't have enough clamping force to withstand the pre-detonation. This force causes the head to jump and the bolts to stretch. The heat from the combustion in the cylinder is no longer contained, which warps and damages the head gasket over time, leading to its failure. It was suggested to use arp studs which we were told are a higher quality than the oem Honda head bolts and have a stronger clamping force. Our son ended up stranded 3 states away with this issue that we then learn is very common yet there are no recalls.

Ssue: water intrusion into tail light assembly causing electrical and safety system malfunctions status: repaired at owner expense (~$800) concern: safety?related defect and potential pattern across vehicles description of the issue: my 2021 Honda Accord experienced a failure where water entered the tail light assembly and caused electrical shorts. This resulted in multiple safety?critical system warnings, including brake system alerts, abs/vsa warnings, and Honda sensing failures. The vehicle also lost acceleration and entered a reduced?power “limp mode,” creating a hazardous driving situation. The dealership diagnosed the issue as water intrusion into the tail light assembly. The entire assembly had to be replaced at a cost of over $800. After replacement, all warnings and drivability issues resolved immediately.

The infotainment screen is ghost touching (changing screens on it's own). If using gps from my phone that is a problem. The radio doesn't stay on at times while the screen is flipping to numerous places on it's own. I read online that many people are having this problem so it should be covered as a defect, a recall. My car is garage kept and kept very clean. I tried resetting but didn't help.

Going home from work, at highway traffic light intersection and car began to shake, sputter. . Engine and oil light briefly came on before car stalled and shut off. In panic put gear into park, turned ignition button, car started and was able to put into drive and proceed. Not long after, on a main road, waiting for turn light, stalled, lost power again. Did not have any acceleration or power. Car was again shaking, luckily pulled into parking lot, put in park, shut off car and back on. When trying to accel, same thing happened as I was half way across 2 lanes, had zero accelerate power, car was shaking/sputtering, but luckily made it across. Car sat off for approximately 10 minutes. Was able to turn on and accelerate to get home without problem. This is a very scary situation to be in, especially in very heavy city traffic conditions. I have never been notified of any sort of recall. A case # has been made with Honda USA. They also let me know that although the year and model of my car was a part of a fuel pump recall, and even though I experienced the same issues that other owners were having in which their vehicles were recalled, that my VIN # was not part of that particular batch recall. Honda dealership shop has diagnosed as a fuel pump. (can provide shop estimate).

A 2018 Honda Accord suddenly displayed multiple dashboard warning messages at the same time after previously operating normally. The warnings include: emission system problem (avoid heavy acceleration), tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, electric power steering system problem, vehicle stability assist problem, hill start assist problem, adaptive cruise control system problem, collision mitigation braking system problem, and road departure mitigation system problem. These alerts appeared simultaneously when the vehicle was started, even though the car had been driven the night before without any issues. The vehicle still starts and runs, but the number of system warnings suggests a possible electrical, sensor, or control module issue affecting multiple vehicle systems.

Multiple warning lights on dashboard. Vehicle runs perfectly fine with brand new battery and spark plugs but still has 9 random warning lights coming on.

This windshield should be recalled this is the second time a rock cracked it. I have only had the car 9 months.

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.

This Honda Accord sport se has had electrical problems from the day I received the vehicle. Every time I went for an oil change at bommarito Honda I mentioned it to them and they said “yeah the new Hondas do tend to hand a lot of those electrical problems” so with this the problems continued to get worse. Sometimes the buttons do not work, sometimes they do, sometimes the lights don’t work and sometimes they do and sometimes the safety features and break system automated itself. I have slammed my head on the steering wheel on multiple occasions. I believe this needs to be looked into because the malfunction of the car falsely reports danger and caused an accident. Yes every time it malfunctions it flashes briefly and so quickly on the screen .

My vehicle is currently suffering a failed head gasket. I was alerted about this issue from local mechanics and friends way before it actually happened. I took it to services and regular maintenance even more frequently after that. However, it still failed no matter what. I took it to the dealership, they even admitted that this is a known problem for this generation of vehicle. They still proceeded to ask nearly $7000 to fix it, saying that even though this is a known issue, there was no recalls on the vehicles so they could not waive or deduct the fees.

I brought my 2014 Honda Accord to Honda of westport (authorized dealer) to complete the active driveshaft safety recall. The dealer informed me the recall could not be performed unless I first paid $708. 31 out of pocket to replace both front ball joints. I was given no choice - pay or leave with the recall unresolved. No vehicle owner should face a financial barrier to completing a federally mandated safety recall.

All the lights on the dashboard went off when there was not any previously. With that issue the gas pedal was struggling to go over 20 mph, it was jolting when gas pedal is used.

I am writing to file a complaint on the service that was provided at vann york Honda. On February 17, 2026, I was returning home from work and my car had a hard idle at start up. I was able to drive it home without issue. The next day, February 18, I got in my car and I had another hard idle start with many check engine codes appearing on the dashboard. I drove it to vann york Honda in high point, north carolina for service. I was told it was a faulty fuel injector causing the problem and that it needed to be replaced. I left the car there over night and paid for the service; approximately $3,000. I got the car back on February 19. On February 20, I again had a rough idle on start up. I brought the car back to vann york Honda and advised them that I was experiencing the same issue as before. The mechanic brought it to the back and advised me that he could not find anything wrong with the vehicle and that it is running fine. I expressed my concerns with the vehicle and he stated that without a error code or check engine light being on, it would be difficult to diagnose. The technician and the advisor said to keep driving it until a light comes on saying there is a problem since they could not find an issue. In the following 2 weeks, I had regular rough idles on start up and the fuel efficiency dropped approximately 6 miles per gallon. When I filled the car with gas, the fuel range dropped from 540 to 370. When I called about that issue, they said they reset the computer when performing the previous service on the vehicle and it is taking time for the computer to "learn" the car again. On March 6, I brought the vehicle back to vann york Honda due to many check engine codes appearing on the dashboard. On the way to vann york, the service advisor called me and stated that she would be reaching out to Honda corporate to see about Honda paying for some of the cost of this service. My wife and I drove into the service bay and I spoke with the service adviso.

On February 15 Sunday night my 2024 Accord was broken in by thieves. Honda’s door lock system was so easy that robbers were able to hack it and open the driver door easily. After which steering wheel airbag was stolen. There was another Honda Accord 2025 model also parked which belong to my family member, was also hit by same thieves and was a victim of door brake in and steering wheel airbag stolen. I would like to file complaint against Honda’s week security system which allowed the thieves to easily brake into our vehicles. Upon checking the internet I came across videos of how easy it is to steel the airbags since it only requires 2 small flathead screw drivers to unlatch the steering wheel air bag. During my conversation with police who files my report mentioned that “ Honda is being hit with these cases a-lot and Honda vehicles can easily be started with wifi system”. I spoke to the service advisor at Honda who is fixing my car about this issue, he responded saying “ there is nothing we can do. The best thing you can do is put steering wheel lock bar on it”. At this point I don’t feel safe having Honda vehicle at all. What can prevent them from not breaking to my car again after being fixed? at this point it is a high risk for me for constantly paying insurance deductibles and chances of insurance premiums increments and worst of all a constant stress every night of being hit again.

Many lights on dashboard including ldw, front collision system failure, tire pressure came on. Very concerned about driving safety. Researched the issue - seems fairly common across 2012-2017 Accords.

It is my understanding Honda issued a extended warranty on the air conditioning condenser for its Accord models from 2018-2022. I have a 2023 Accord and the exact same issue has happened on my car. Similar to the earlier problems with fuel pumps where a partial recall was extended to the same model built in later years, I am suggesting Honda needs to repeat the extended warranty to include 2023 models. I am bringing this issue to your attention in case others are having the same experience.

I am reporting a serious safety concern involving my 2021 Honda Accord sport se. The issue began at approximately 78,000 miles when multiple warning lights suddenly appeared on the dashboard while driving. At the same time, the vehicle began shaking and had difficulty accelerating. The engine felt unstable and the car struggled to gain speed. I immediately took the vehicle to a mechanic where it was diagnosed with an engine misfire on cylinder 3. The spark plug and ignition coil were replaced. After this repair the vehicle appeared to run normally for a short time, but the exact same symptoms returned shortly afterward. The vehicle again began shaking while driving and experienced loss of power and poor acceleration. This creates a serious safety concern, especially when merging onto highways or driving in traffic where sudden loss of power could lead to an accident. After researching this issue, I discovered numerous complaints from other owners of 2021 Honda Accords describing the same symptoms that ultimately resulted in blown head gasket failures. These complaints appear in the NHTSA database and other consumer forums. The pattern of engine misfires, shaking, and loss of acceleration appears to be consistent across many vehicles with similar mileage. Despite the number of similar complaints, there are currently no recalls associated with my VIN. I believe this may indicate a broader manufacturing defect affecting these vehicles. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue further to determine whether a safety defect exists that could require a recall or other corrective action.

After driving about 20-25 minutes, the speakers after working fine turn to all loud static even when turning the volume down. After the car is off for a bit, the speakers return to normal until driving again for 10-20 minutes. It’s so loud that you can’t hear anything and is very distracting.

I am reporting suspected odometer fraud and possible VIN [xxx] entation involving a vehicle being offered for sale. The seller stated the vehicle has approximately 123,000 miles. However, a vehicle history report and third-party valuation (carvana) show the same vehicle VIN [xxx] ) WI [xxx] les recorded. This is a discrepancy of more than 180,000 miles. I personally photographed the VIN plate on the vehicle and confirmed the VIN [xxx] ) matches the h [xxx] ing high mileage. The seller did not disclose the higher mileage and is advertising the vehicle at a value consistent with a much lower-mileage vehicle. This appears to be an intentional misrepresentation of the vehicle’s true mileage. I have screenshots of the listing, seller communications stating 123,000 miles, VIN [xxx] ) photos, and documentatio [xxx] er mileage history. I am submitting this complaint to report potential odometer rollback or mileage fraud so the vehicle can be investigated before another buyer is harmed.

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.

To whom it may concern, my 2023 Honda Accord (VIN: <fill in red: VIN [xxx] >) has been disabled since January 27, 2026 due to a fuel system failure. The dealership falsely claimed diesel contamination, which I deny. Despite escalation to Honda executives and NJ lemon law action, the vehicle remains unsafe and unusable. Attached is documentation supporting my complaint (master pdf: camardo_honda_accord_escalation. Pdf). I request your immediate review and assistance to resolve this safety issue. Sincerely, [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I wanted to report that this vehicle, According to carfax, had 169,236 miles on August 15, 2025, and 9/4/25, and 85,326 miles on January 24, 2026. That's only 4 months! the odometer was tampered with, and this seller knew it was altered because it went through 5 different sellers in those 4 months. I don't know if their reports are true or false, which is why I'm writing to see if you can help me.

Car flashed engine temperature near limit, avoid heavy acceleration and high speed, see dealership warning on dash. Sounds like water moving thru the dash board when driving or turning or right when starting car. Took car in to dealership right away and they confirmed it is a head gasket issue and that they have at least 20 other cars there due to the same issue. My car has now been in the dealership for over a month and a half now and there is not a clear when it will be repaired due to how many other cars they have there with the same issue. I currently have a rental due to having the extended warranty. I want them to buy the car back so I can get another one with out issues. I have two teenagers that are also learning how to drive. All of the maintaince has been done at the Honda dealership.

I was driving down the freeway and all of a sudden there was a spontaneous, loud-bang, and explosion-like shattering of my moonroof/sunroof. I didn't know what happened initially but heard glass shards sliding around the roof. I slid the cover slightly open and could see the shattered glass. I drove home and discovered a hole in the glass. Im attaching pictures of what I saw. I got home and searched online to see if anyone else has experienced this and found several articles referencing 2023 Honda Accord's and this issue. Including some class action law suits against Honda.

I was parking and my passenger side shaft broke.

Vehicle was taken to Honda of round rock for the integrated control module (icm) recall (NHTSA recall 25v785). The dealership performed partial service but stated a 'gateway' part is on backorder. Since this service, the vehicle has been returned to us with a non-functional speedometer, non-functional speed sensor, no a/c/defrost, and multiple disabled safety sensors. Driving without a speedometer is a severe safety hazard. The manufacturer has provided no timeline for the part and refused a loaner, leaving us with an un-roadworthy vehicle as a direct result of a recall repair attempt.

Starter grind and not starting.

[xxx] my car was stolen from this address. The thieves were able to bypass security system. The thieves were able to bypass the factory security system and/or alarm. I reported the incident to the police. They did not hand me a report number but took my information and want this complaint documented as a potential security system issue. The keys were in my possession, and no modifications were made to the factory security system. I request that Honda log this complaint for investigation and provide me with a case number for my records. Please let me know if additional information is required. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

When it is raining I cannot see using the backup camera. Rain drops on the camera lens make it so that I can only see light, I. E. The drops of rain obscure everything. Basically it is like not having a backup camera at all.

This problem is seemingly widespread from one google search! the infotainment system screen will randomly start doing “ghost touches,” tapping random areas of the screen which is distracting but also clicking on things that shouldn’t be casually clicked like emergency calling or calling a random number! the screen would end my navigation, mute the speaker, go back, switch to a different app, etc. There is no warning lights or anything. The Honda dealerships seem to realize that this is a know issue but will not replace it. They stated that replacing it is doesn’t always work as the problem returns. My car is perfect besides this issue and has never been in a crash.

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.
