Equipment Problems of Honda Accord - part 1

Vehicle won’t start brake hold system problem, vehicle stability assist system problem, hill start assist problem, electric power steering problem collision mitigation system problem all appear on the dash but vehicle won’t start. Battery is not the issue, tested the battery it’s at 12. 5v. Hard reset the battery and jumpstarted but issue persist. Taking vehicle to dealer to diagnose issue but I saw lots of youtube videos and forums of people having the same issue but don’t see a recall open for this issue occurring.

It is unknown what system failed. While coasting to slow for the stopped car in front of me, the car began aggressively accelerating without warning. Adaptive and standard cruise control were both off. Lane keep assist and road departure were also switched off. Due to the slick nature of the road, the acceleration left me traveling far too fast with little space to stop. After sliding to a stop, I was within a foot from the car in front of me. This failure very nearly caused an at-fault accident which there was nothing more I could do. Note that this happened roughly 40 mins into a drive, which was otherwise uneventful. No warning lights were present before, during, or after the issue. This car has been having phantom braking issues and power loss issues consistently since March and has spent significant time in Honda's hands for this issue. The vehicle has come to a near stop on the highway from the previous braking issues and has lost power, stranding me in traffic on a highway. It is suspected that the same system failure that caused those issues has come back up again. To date, thousands have been spent on repair "guesses" and tow bills with no end in sight to these safety issues. This vehicle has become a liability and, as a result, inspections are strongly encouraged. I have included photos of the floor mats as they were at the time, properly secured and not near either pedal.

Official complaint — Honda recall not being fixed subject: urgent safety complaint – recall cannot be performed by any Honda dealer american Honda motor CO. , inc. – customer relations I am submitting a formal complaint against Honda because I have an open safety recall on my 2024 Honda Accord sport hybrid and no Honda dealership is able or willing to perform the recall repair, leaving me driving a potentially unsafe vehicle with no timeline for resolution. Summary of the issue •I originally scheduled the recall repair with braman Honda of lake worth, and they canceled my appointment the day before, stating they could not perform the recall. •I then attempted to contact ed morse Honda, who did not answer multiple calls. •when I called Honda customer service, I asked to escalate to a supervisor, and was denied. •Honda assigned a case manager, but scheduled a repair appointment for me without confirming my availability, at a time I could not attend. •when I called ed morse Honda to reschedule, they informed me that they cannot perform the recall because the software required for the update is not working. •I was told to simply “wait,” with no timeline, no workaround, and no assurance of safety. Safety risk this recall involves a system failure that could cause the vehicle to stall or shut down unexpectedly. I am now: •driving a car with an unrepaired safety recall, •receiving warnings from my insurance company that the recall must be completed, •feeling unsafe and potentially liable for an accident if my vehicle fails due to Honda’s inability to perform the recall.

Honda never contacted me about this recall or steps to fixing the problem to make sure my car was safe and running/working correctly. I would like the problem/recall to be fixed ASAP. I looked up my VIN on your website and this is how I even found out about this recall. Please help me get it fixed. Thank you.

Sunroof explosion incident: I was driving east bound on the I-880 highway (in the direction to sacramento CA) between the columbus pkwy and hiddenbrook exits in the city of vallejo. When all of the sudden I heard a loud boom/explosion noise and heard glass drop onto the closed sunroof visor and flying hitting the rear of my car. I pulled off at the hiddenbrook exit. I saw a highway patrol officer at a stop sign and flagged him down. I explained to him what I experienced. He asked me if I saw anyone throw anything. I told him no. We both looked in through the opening where the sunroof glass was shattered and saw no random object. He then advised me to contact my insurance company to see what remedy they may offer. I called the insurance immediately after the officer and I departed ways.

Power steering tpm s and traction control lights are coming on after putting in a new battery. This is a recall for 2013 to 2017 Honda Accord sport with cvt transmission and for some reason, my car is not part of the batch, even though it is experiencing this issue. I am assuming the issue is the battery management.

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.

I have a 2018 Honda Accord sport 1. 5 the issue started after getting my fuel pump replaced as part of the recall. While driving, all of the dashboard lights came on. Warning messages kept flashing on the dash. This car was driving perfectly fine before the fuel pump was replaced. When the codes are cleared, the car drives perfectly fine. The dashboard lights will periodically turn off but ultimately come back on and as a result, the car goes into limp mode. Coils, sparkplugs, breakers have been switched out and oil levels have been checked. When the car is scanned, the codes are reading a misfire with the coils but, the coils that are allegedly misfiring were just replaced. The car jerks while attempting to accelerate, and after a few miles, it goes into limp mode. I have tried every type of repair that has been suggested to me by the mechanic but the issues persist.

Vsa modulator on Honda has failed. This is a defective part but Honda has not recalled. This is a vital safety issue and can cause brakes to lock. Honda refuses to acknowledge defect and will not replace the part free of charge.

I am reporting a safety-related issue on my 2021 Honda Accord hybrid involving a failure of the heating and climate control system. The vehicle is unable to produce heat or properly defrost the windshield, which significantly reduces visibility in cold weather. This directly impacts safe operation during winter conditions and should be considered a safety concern rather than a comfort issue. A Honda dealership diagnosed the problem as a heater core failure. The heater core itself is approximately $150, but the repair requires extensive disassembly and is estimated at nearly $2,000 due to labor. This type of failure should not occur on a vehicle this new. I recently purchased the car and do not believe this is normal wear or maintenance. Honda was contacted and denied goodwill assistance, stating they have no record of other complaints. I have since found similar reports from other Accord owners experiencing heating failures, particularly on hybrid models. This failure prevents windshield defogging and makes the vehicle unsafe for winter driving. I am documenting this issue with NHTSA so that the safety implications of heater failure on this model can be formally reviewed. I can provide the dealer diagnostic report, repair estimate, and Honda case number upon request. Vehicle details: 2021 Honda Accord hybrid ex VIN: [xxx] mileage at failure: 47000 date diagnosed: 11/13/25 location: salinas, CA please advise if additional documentation is needed. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

This has happened out of the blue and randomly more than once recently. Loss of power/no acceleration. Once it had no acceleration when taking off from a stopped position, and then again it lost acceleration while driving at a speed of around 50mph the car would no longer accelerate, had to pull off to the side of the road and turned the car off and let it sit for a few minutes and then restarted the car and it resumed to function normally. There are no codes in the system, no warning lights, this has happened 4 different times now. Honda says they cant do anything if they cant make it repeat the problem when they diagnosis it and if the system doesnt have any active codes in it.

All dashboard lights came on and car lost speed while I was driving on the freeway in traffic. I couldn't even use emergency lights. Lucky I didn't get hit and maybe killed. Thus had happened several times and after researching I see other people have the same problem.

While I was driving my car on the highway doing the speed limit of 60mph my car lost complete power and lost speed to below 20mph and would not gain speed. I pulled over on the highway turned the car off and back on. It begins driving again normal. The next morning it was mis firing so I took it in to the dealer and this is what I was told after getting a diagnostic check: found cylinders 1 and 4 leaking coolant from the head gasket. I recommend replacement of the head gasket, fuel inejectors, and spark plugs. Head may need resurfaced. Included is also oil change.

Evaporator for ac failing. This poses a risk for drivers not having property ac in different weather and is extremely dangerous with children. Issue was found by the Honda dealership. I brought this issue up with them on a previous visit after hearing a strange noise, said everything was fine then a week later it goes out and only blowing hot air into vehicle.

On 11/3/25 Honda conducted the fuel injection recall fix. Prior to this, no warning lights were displayed on dash. 11/11/25 nine different warnings displayed on dashboard board. 11/13/25 at approximately 35mph the vehicle would not accelerate and the 9 warning notifications continued to flash. Cars had to go around me as I tried to find a safe place to pull to side of the road. I turned off the ignition. I took the vehivle back to the Honda dealership maintenance. My vehicle will be there till tomorrow. I was informed code p0304 was present. Prior to recall fix drivability was not a concern and and had no warning lights.

Head gasket blown at very low mileage. Roughly a little more than 80,000 miles on them and head gasket was blown. Car went to limp mode and caused a safety concern while trying to get to a safe location. The problem has been confirmed by a mechanic and all the lights on the dash lit up at once.

The steering sticks and over turns making the car go all over the place. When parked, the steering makes alot of noises when you turn the steering wheel.

This is the second time I am reporting this same issue with my Accord. I see there is now a recall but I need this to be on file as I can't continue owning this vehicle if this continues. This is a scary situation when you are behind the whell. On 10/30/25, I was 60 miles into a trip and the car lost all power on a major highway. While almost being rear ended by cars in the left lane, I was able to get to the shoulder. Dashboard lit up with numerous error messages. (see photos). I was able to shut the car down and restart. Upon restart, the brake system light stayed on the remaining trip 50 miles home. Brake system - brake system problem. Brake performance may be reduced. See your dealer. I took it in for service and upon urging them that this was a bigger issue, they told me it was because I don't drive the car enough and it was a battery issue. Very frustrating.

I own a 2018 Honda Accord that was subject to a fuel pump recall. The dealership replaced the fuel pump in July 2025 as part of the recall. Shortly after the replacement, all dashboard warning lights illuminated. I took the vehicle in for diagnostic inspection and was informed that the fuel injector and head gasket had failed. The estimated cost of repairs is $5369. 69. I believe these failures may be related to the fuel system recall or indicate a broader defect in the vehicle’s engine or fuel components. I am deeply concerned about the safety and reliability of the vehicle, especially since these issues arose immediately after the recall repair. I am currently unable to afford the repair, and I fear the vehicle may pose a risk to myself and others on the road. This situation has caused me significant stress and anxiety. The unexpected financial burden has disrupted my personal and professional life, and I feel unsafe driving a vehicle that may have underlying defects. I am frustrated that a recall repair may have led to even more severe mechanical issues, and I am left without clear support or resolution. I had no choice but to pay for the repairs out of pocket, despite the financial strain. I am seeking guidance on how this cost might be recovered—whether through manufacturer assistance, warranty extension, or further recall action. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether this issue is connected to the existing recall or represents a wider safety defect affecting other vehicles of the same make and model.

When making a left turn, my car suddenly bucked up onto the air feeling like I ran over a big obstacle which was not the case. Car came to sudden stop and I was thrown forward over steering wheel. Thankfully no one was behind me or it would have been catastrophic. The first week I owned the car, when going through a car wash, the car started jumping up and down and wouldn't move forward. Had to back out of carwash. Dealer told me it was the collision mitigation system and to turn it off before going in. The "brake" light on dash periodically flashes when no cars are in front of me. I am truly afraid to drive this car which only has 5,800 miles on it. Dealer can't find a problem. I am turning off collision feature every time I drive, but what if I forget? I believe this is an extremely dangerous defect and should be looked into. It doesn't always happen, but when it does. . .

On our 2016 Accord with the 3. 5 v6 there is a design issue with the starter assembly. This issue is also happening with other models with this engine configuration manufactured between 2013 through 2017. The starter on my vehicle won’t engage the flywheel gears fully causing damage to the flywheel and the starter. There is a Honda service bulletin ( 16-002) calling to replace the starter and rotate the torque converter clockwise one bolt hole position. This can only be done one time so if it happens again( and it probably will)the torque converter will need to be replaced which is a minimum of $4,000 and even that won’t guarantee it won’t repeat this issue. This is a safety issue because there is a possibility that you could be stranded and vulnerable to hazards on the road .

The vehicle has recently developed a loud and painful static noise through the speakers, which occurs intermittently and unpredictably, even when the radio and audio system are turned off. This issue has now become so severe that it is unsafe to drive the car. The static bursts are extremely loud, startling, and physically painful, creating a serious distraction hazard while driving. I am deeply concerned that this constitutes a safety defect in the vehicle’s electrical/audio system, not a routine maintenance issue. The vehicle has approximately 70,476 miles, and a full history of regular maintenance. Yesterday, (10/17/2025), I took my vehicle to the dealer for diagnosis. While the issue was not initially present, it began again within minutes of leaving the service department, prompting me to return immediately so the technician could hear it. The dealership completed a diagnostic assessment (cost: $217) and determined that the oem radio head unit has failed and must be replaced. The service advisor further explained that: - the defective audio unit cannot be safely disconnected or its fuse removed because doing so would affect the braking system. - the replacement part is on national backorder with no estimated availability date. - the repair would cost $1,211. 80, which I am being asked to pay out of pocket despite this being a factory component failure. - no loaner vehicle is available, leaving me without safe transportation. Since leaving the dealership, the issue has continued repeatedly. The vehicle remains unsafe to operate under these conditions. Through my research, I have learned that this is a widely reported problem among 2016–2017 Honda Accord owners. There are numerous documented complaints on owner forums (including driveaccord. Net) and on carcomplaints. Com describing identical symptoms, loud static or “white noise” from the speakers, occurring even when the radio is off, often linked to failure of the infotainment head unit or amplifier.

The vehicle has a recall for drive axile still showing status as pending, we took the car to the dealer to check on that and also complained about noise during acceleration. On inspection the dealer at valley Honda, naperville found that the drive axile is the problem. But they said it has nothing to do with the recall, it is because someone else tried to repair it. I was told it is very unsafe to drive. Still we drove it back home, I inspected the axile I could notice so must rust on the axiles and in the shaft, that they can't claim ithe rust is because of the othet repairs performed!. There was also visible fluid leak coming out of the boot area of the axile, because of the rust. The dealership is. Just trying to avoid the axile repair and citing other repairs performed as an invalid reason. Please help soon.

22 Honda Accord sport. Infotainment turns on by itself and switches to random screens. When connect to my mobile via usb or bluetooth for navigation and android auto, it does the same thing. Quite a few time, I am force to take my eyes off the road because it a major distraction. The glitch or screen switching and google voice randomly coming on forces me to take my eyes off the road in an attempt to stop it. This occurs daily.

I have changed turbo, coil packs, fuel injectors, spark plugs, battery, fuel pump and my vehicle still give misfire in cylinder 3. Honda knows it’s a turbo and head gasket issue and will not do a recall on this for the vehicles. Horrible company. Will never buy another Honda.

Was driving on the freeway approximately 70 mph on Saturday October 4th, when car goes into limp mode and throws a engine light on, leaving me stranded on the freeway. Another occurrence one week later on Saturday October 11th when car went into limp mode again driving around 35 mph in the city. Both cases I turned the car off and on and returned back to normal, come to find out with the dealer it is a blown head gasket and their is coolant leaking into cylinder 3. A blown headgasket!!!!! everyone is having these problems.

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!.

This problem is related an infotainment system problem. Infotainment screen turning on/off randomly, restarting unexpectedly, and autonomously switching between radio stations (e. G. , am to fm), audio sources (e. G. , bluetooth), maps, or other apps—are a well-documented problem for the 2022 Honda Accord (and similar 10th-gen models). This is often linked to faulty touchscreens, software glitches, or hardware defects. I have had the infotainment system replace less than a year ago, the problem has returned. This become a safety issue because some of the cars "systems" are run from the infotainment center. When getting a low tire pressure alarm then refilling the tire to proper capacity, the tps cant be re-calibrated because the infotainment system is not responding to touch control.

The touch screen keep closing the navigation map and changing applications suddenly and repeatedly without me touching it. It is unsafe as I try to bring the map back while driving because I don't want to miss an exit or get lost. Honda said there is no fix for it until now and a new screen has a possibility the same problem may happen again.

When driving the 2016 Honda Accord ex-l, after driven for around 10-20 minutes, a static starts playing on the speaker starting small and gets progessively louder (even when the audio system is turned off, if audio system is on and volume is adjusted, it gets even worse) until you cannot hear anything else other than the loud static. You cannot hear anything said in the car by your fellow passengers, kids get scared with the loud noise. The only thing that works is a restart of the engine which can only be done by pulling over to a shoulder or another unsafe area of the road putting everyone in the car and other nearby cars at dangerous risk. The static noise is so loud, it completely takes over all of your driver senses and you'll be like a deer staring into headlights unable to do anything. In a recent incident, we (family including kid) were going in the left-most lane of a CA freeway when this started and in the ensuing 2 minutes I had to move over 3 lanes into the number 1 lane and stop at an unsafe curb near an exit in the evening and restart the car and go back home. This is traumatic everytime it happens and we have to plan for it. There are several people with the same issue complaining on social media (reddit/youtube) and they have evidence for the same in video format. 500+ posts and going [xxx] . Upon calling my usual service center, they did mention they saw similar problem recently, but it is not part of a recall and quoted me 250$ for diganosis and upwards of 1900$ for replacing the audio unit. My audio unit worked fine for 10 years, and I do no think this is an individual issue but a widespread one that triggers in this specific model of the vehicle. There were no warnings prior to this, started appearing around [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

All lights related to tire pressure, sterring control, vehicle stability assist and abs comes up in dash board. The abs control module suddenly fails because of very bad design and manufacturing (just dry solderings!). Search ebay, one can find so many offering services to repair this failed abs control module. For replacement ot costs 3500. This looks like is common failure. Very dangerous to drive with that failed abs control module. Why is this not in a recall yet?.
